Give Me the Bible - Lesson 13 - Because It's Inspiration Is Shown by It's Prophetic Accuracy - Wayne Brewer

In this lesson, we examine how the prophetic accuracy of Scripture demonstrates its divine inspiration. The Bible contains prophecies written centuries before the events they describe, yet those same events are later recorded as fulfilled in the New Testament. For example, Isaiah 53:7 (KJV) foretells, “He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth…” This prophecy is clearly seen fulfilled in Acts 8:32–35 (KJV) when the Ethiopian eunuch reads this very passage from Isaiah, and Philip begins at that scripture to preach unto him Jesus. This powerful connection between prophecy and fulfillment is not an isolated case. Throughout the Scriptures, we find many Old Testament prophecies that are later fulfilled in the New Testament. Such accuracy strengthens our confidence that the Bible is truly inspired by God and stands as our reliable and authoritative guide.
