I want to talk with you about the Bible. I think the Bible is a very interesting subject because it is such a worldwide book, everybody has their own idea about the Bible. Maybe you can think of your own thoughts on the Bible. Some say it is a book of God. Still, others say it is just a book written by humans many years ago. I wanted to dig deep to see what the facts are about this book that many have devoted their life to, The Book of God. The Bible itself says that it is inspired by God but to be inspired by God it should be like no other book known to man when it comes to science, historical accuracy, prophecy, and availability.

Babylon was a dynasty for a time, this would be a hard defeat. The prophecy goes on to say that Cyrus would dry up a river and that Babylon's cities gates would mistakenly be left open. History confirms that every detail of this prophecy came true. So what? They foretold it would happen, it could just be a lucky guess, right? Well, one lucky guess it would have to be seeing that the prophecy did not happen until 539 B.C., almost 200 years after the prophecy was first stated. Yet, it was prophecied to the tee and they even named who would do it, even though the person named, Cyrus, was not even close to being born at the time of the prophecy. Not only that but a hundred years beforehand in 614 B.C., the prophet Jeremiah said at Jeremiah 50:39, and Jeremiah 51:37 that Babylon would be brought to ruin, never to be built up again. Despite its strategic location, Babylon has become a pile of stones and it stays that way to this day. Wouldn't you think someone who is anti-Bible would go to Babylon to rebuild it, just to prove the Bible wrong? Yet, no one has sucessfully done so to date! This speaks volumes to the Bible's accuracy of
