What Are Biblical Prophecies?
Christianity is based on the certainty of God’s Word, the Bible. It is the only religion in which prophecy plays such an important role. If God’s prophets were not 100% true, then the Bible itself is not true. The attacks on the Bible over the past hundred years have all side-stepped the issue of prophecy. The fact stands, that God has built into the Bible a sure way of knowing whether it is true or not – which simply is its ability without fail to tell us the future. A general definition of prophecy is, “A message from God, supernaturally delivered by a person, that reveals a future event, and is 100% always accurate.” Many people make prophecies – politicians, religious leaders, astrologers, etc – but none are 100% accurate. Only God has that ability, and He has limited it to only the words and warnings of the Bible.
