A Simple Litmus Test
There are many ways to verify the reliability of scripture from both internal evidences of transmission and agreement, to external confirmation through archeology and science. But perhaps the most persuasive argument can be found in the area of prophecy. If a book accurately and repeatedly predicts the future, it can safely be said that something special is going on, perhaps even something supernatural. And there are so many prophecies in the scriptures that it should be easy to take a look and decide if the Bible is supernatural.
There Are So Many Fulfilled Prophecies!
In fact, there are so many fulfilled prophecies in the Bible that it is hard to know where to begin! A simple search on the internet will provide you with literally hundreds of sites listing a multitude of fulfilled prophecies in both the Old and New Testaments. It's difficult to know where to begin here in our limited discussion of the issue, so we'll focus narrowly on some of the biggest and best known of prophecies!
The Prophecies of Babylon, Nineveh, Tyre and Edom
Let's take a look at a few Bible prophecies that were fulfilled about 2500 years ago when the ancient kingdoms and cities of Babylon, Nineveh, Tyre and Edom were destroyed. The Bible makes the assertion that these entities were destroyed because they had sought to destroy the Holy Land of Israel and the people of Israel (the Jews).
Babylon Will Rule Over Judah for 70 Years
You can read the first such prophecy in Jeremiah 25:11-12. "The Old Testament is Filled with Fulfilled Prophecy" article continued
Jesus told His disciples: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you." (Matt. 7:7) But for what shall we ask? How do we know what is God's will for us? There is only one answer: We may know the will of God by coming to know the Word of God, and we know the Word of God only as we study it and the Holy Spirit throws His divine light upon its pages.

Abraham had two sons. He had one son by Hagar the Egyptian, who was his wife's slave, whose name was Ishmael. He had another son, by his wife Sarah, who God promised he would give him. This son's name was Isaac. Hagar represents Mount Sinai, which answers to Jerusalem, and is in bondage with her children. Ishmael represents the law and commandments which, in a sense, was born at Mt. Sinai. "Abraham had Two Sons" Lover of Words, FAITH TALK MINISTRIES
Revelation 1:3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near. "Blessed by Reading" Dr. James MacDonald, WALK IN THE WORD
