God defends his word through prophecy even in his word.

Now think about that.

Prophecy is one of the great apologetics,

and God even uses it as such.

When God wanted to establish his word with his people, he gave them

predictions and then fulfilled them in their eyes. Welcome to Grace to you with John MacArthur. I'm your host Phil Johnson. If you're a Christian, the Word of God is an all you can eat buffet of spiritual

nutrition. It's the sustenance you need to grow and survive and know the will of God. With that said, let me ask this. If God's

word is that important, how are you doing when it comes to proclaiming it and defending it when

it's challenged.

That gets to the core issue of John MacArthur's current series here on Grace to You,

a study he calls, is the Bible reliable?

I think you'll be better equipped to answer the attacks of

Bible critics after the lesson today, so follow along with John.

One of the seals of the veracity of the word of God is its predictive accuracy.

Any book that could predict what the Bible predicts and see the fulfillment absolutely accurate has to be written by God.

For no human mind has that kind of foreknowledge or pre-science.

Divine omniscience is stamped on the pages of this book because of its predictive practice. in the Any careful study of the Bible that the prophets of the Old and New Testament were imparted

with a knowledge of future things that was impossible to the human mind.

There is no way man could know those things.

The only answer to solving the riddle of this book is that it was written by God.

All the pre-written history and all the absolute perfect accuracy of fulfillment marks the Bible as revelation from God.

I want to mention to you that God defends his word through prophecy, even in his word.
