In this thread, i neither wish to condemn or conform anyone.. I would merely like for all the facts to be presented and not just the side of the atheists.. I believe that i can offer lots of proof both scientific, historical and archeological to show that the bible is real and that God is indeed its author.. The bible is a collection of books and letters written by many writers over an approximate 1600 year time period.. The writers were not merely men but were inspired men of God.. Lets start, shall we? and this will be an ongoing thread for me, as i have countless things to say and proof to offer but ill need time to bring it all here..
One of the greatest proofs that the bible is inspired is the evidence of thousands of detailed prophecies that were fulfilled to the smallest detail throughout history. Centuries before the evenets occurred ancient prophets foretold the rise and fall of empires (including babylon) as well as the cities of Tyre and Nineveh. I have some acrcheological proof that ill present later, showing the cities of Tyre and Nineveh did exist, they have been found. I would now and first like to talk with you about some of the prophecies that have been fulfilled in our lifetime. Lets examine in detail several of these fascinating predictions to illustrate the tremendous precision of bible prophecies as proof that God inspired the writers of the bible..
1. The rebirth of Israel.
The rebirth of Israel is one of the most extraordinary and unlikely of all the prophecies in the Bible. Jesus Christ foretold of the rebirth of Israel in his famous prophecy of the "fig tree". He declared in Matthew 24:32-35: Now learn the parable of the fig tree; When his branch is tender, and putteth forth leaves, you know that summer is nigh: so likewise when ye see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. No other ancient nation ever ceased to exist for a period of centuries and then returned to take its place on the stage of world history.
Isiah 66:8, Who hath heard such a thing? Who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion trevailed, she brought forth her children.
Most nations evolved gradually over time, no one has ever witnessed a nation created "in one day". Yet in his prediction Isiah prophesied that Israel would come into existence "in one day". The prophecy came true and were fullfilled as predicted on May 15th 1948..
2. The astonishing fertility of Israel.
In addition to recovering their homeland, the prophet Isiah predicted that Israel would become fertile once again. Isiah 27:6, He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud and fill the face of the world with fruit. The returning Jews have transformed the previously deserted and desolate land into the most agriculturally efficient land on earth according to the UN. Tiny Israel now supplies over 90% of the citrus fruit consumed by hundreds of millions of europeans.
another prophecy made by the prophet Joel declares that the desert nation of Israel would experience tremendous increases in rain in the last days. Joel 2:23, Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God, for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain... The rainfall in Israel has increased dramatically by over 10% every decade for the last century. The returning Jews have planted over 200 million trees and transformed the complete environment of the Promised Land. Read some articles from astronauts flying in the space shuttel, Tiny Israle is green, while the surrounding land is brown...... why is that?
I have many other things to say that go into much greater detail, lets not clutter this up too much as i merely want to state many facts... I have scientific, historical and archaeological ones to present.. these are not faith based facts but real ones, that you guys can understand..
I have many other things to say about bible prophecy but later, i can tell you about the revised roman empire, the one world government, famines, pestilence, deadly diseases that are all foretold in our future... I also want to tell you many facts about the health issues that are told in the bible, the laws of hygiene and sanitation given...
But ill leave you with another prophecy.
3. The rise of major killer earthquakes.
Jesus told that in the last days, our generation would experience the greates earthquakes in history. Other prophets predicted these events as well but i wont list all of them (unless asked to do so). Jesus said, massive earthquakes will occur in diverse places (strange places), that is and has been occuring. However and this is my point, Major killer quakes (7.2 or higher on the richter scale) occurred only once per decade throughout history, until our century. However since 1900 the growth in major quakes has been relentless. From 1900-1949 major quakes occured about 3 per decade. However in the 1950's we had a reported 9 killer quakes,,, 13 were reported in the 1960's, 56 in the 1970's and an amazing 74 major quakes in the 1980's. Finally in the 1990's there were 125 major quakes reported. This information is from (The US geological survey earthquake report, in boulder colorado)... The prophets warned that in the last days, this planet will be shaken as never before.. Does the above statistics sound like business as usual or are earthquakes increasing?
Ill return with many more facts, just give me time...
