  1. Why study? 2 types of evidence. God is! Cause/Effect Design Moral Is there a God? Jesus Christ Virgin Birth Prophecies Unnatural sayings and deeds. Miracles Resurrection Empty Tomb, Monuments & Saul’s Conversion Review of Evidences

  2. Review If there is a God, .. Two Types of Revelation General Special Contents of the Bible Known Facts Revelation 1st Test of Inspiration What is “inspiration” Various Theories The Bible’s Inspiration

  3. Inexplicable on purely human terms. 40+men Every walk of life Nehemiah, Peter, Luke, Matthew, Soloman, Moses, Paul From almost every human condition. David, Paul 3 Languages 2 Continents Diverse Topics The Unity of the Bible

  4. Suppose we assembled 40 contemporary scholars to write a piece on the causes of WWII? Mishmash Errors, inconsistencies, incongruities Bible Writers Not contemporaries Worked independently Not highly trained (field) What Might One Expect?

  5. But the impartial mind cannot ignore the fact that in the writings which constitute our Bible there is a unity and progression, a guiding purpose, culminating in Jesus Christ and His redemption, a fullness and power of religious truth, which place them in a category, and compel the acknowledgement, of a unique origin answering to their unique character (1969, pp. 12-12). Genesis & Revelation Genesis Exodus-Deuteronomy Historical Books Messiah Prophecies Gospel Writers Acts Revelation The Unity of the Bible

  6. Factual Accuracy of the Bible • Moses wrote Pentateuch •  Nehemiah 13:1 On that day they read from the Book of Moses in the hearing of the people, and in it was found written that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever come into the assembly of God,   • Exodus 17:14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.”   • John 5:46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. •  Mark 12:26 But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’ ?

  7. Factual Accuracy of the Bible • Bible critics-Art of writing not developed until after his death (1451BC). • Laws too advanced. • Plethora of archaeological discoveries. • Code of Hammurabi • (2000-1700BC)

  8. Factual Accuracy of the Bible • The code of Hammurabi is significant in that it is the most comprehensive and well preserved law code of ancient history apart from the Biblical law. As well it indicates to us that the writing of the Mosaic laws in a legible script at an early date is not unreasonable and corresponds harmoniously with ancient practices.

  9. Isaiah made mistake when he wrote Isa. 20:1. “In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it..” Sargon’s Palace–1843 @Khorsabad Factual Accuracy of the Bible

  10. Hittites mentioned over 40 times. Exodus 23:28 And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before you. 10,000 clay tablets with society’s law system. Late 1800’s in Turkey Factual Accuracy of the Bible

  11. Factual Accuracy of the Bible • In Acts, Luke mentions thirty-two countries, fifty-four cities, and nine Mediterranean islands. He also mentions ninety-five persons, sixty-two of which are not named elsewhere in the New Testament. And his references, where checkable, are always correct. This is truly remarkable, in view of the fact that the political/territorial situation of his day was in a state of almost constant change. Only inspiration can account for Luke.s precision.

  12. Factual Accuracy of the Bible • Over thirty names (emperors, high priests, Roman governors, princes, etc.) are mentioned in the New Testament, and all but a handful have been verified. In every way the Bible accounts have been found ac-curate (though vigorously challenged). In no single case does the Bible let us down in geographical accuracy. Without one mistake, the Bible lists around forty-five countries. Each is accurately placed and named. About the same number of cities are named and no one mistake can be listed. Further, about thirty-six towns are mentioned, and most have been identified. Wherever accuracy can be checked, minute detail has been found correct every time!

  13. Contrivance or Consistent? In 1790, William Paley, the celebrated Anglican scholar, authored his famous volume, Horae Paulinae (Hours with Paul). In this remarkable book, Paley demonstrated an amazing array of undesigned coincidences between the book of Acts and the epistles of Paul, which argue for the credibility of the Christian revelation. “These coincidences,” said Paley, “which are often incorporated or intertwined in references and allusions, in which no art can be discovered, and no contrivance traced, furnish numerous proofs of the truth of both these works, and consequently that of Christianity.” Factual Accuracy of the Bible

  14. Factual Accuracy of the Bible • Acts 28:20 For this reason therefore I have called for you, to see you and speak with you, because for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”   • Ephesians 6:20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.   • Philippians 1:7 just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace.   • Colossians 4:3 meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains,   • Philemon 1:3 whom I wished to keep with me, that on your behalf he might minister to me in my chains for the gospel.

  15. Factual Accuracy of the Bible •  2 Timothy 3:15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus • Acts 16:1 Then he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain Jewish woman who believed, but his father was Greek. •  2 Timothy 1:5 when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also.

  16. Factual Accuracy of the Bible • Mark 6:39 Then He commanded them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass. • John 6:4 Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near. • John 19:39And Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. • Genesis 37:25 And they sat down to eat a meal. Then they lifted their eyes and looked, and there was a company of Ishmaelites, coming from Gilead with their camels, bearing spices, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry them down to Egypt

  17. To Conclude • The Bible critic is likely to trivialize these examples as they are isolated from one another. When, however, literally hundreds and hundreds of these incidental details are observed to perfectly mesh, one begins to suspect that what have been called “undesigned coincidences” (from the human vantage point) become very obvious cases of divinely designed harmony-tiny footprints that lead only to the conclusion that God was the guiding Force behind the composition of the Sacred Scriptures.

  18. The Prophecy of the Bible • What is prophecy? • Predictive prophecy is the highest evidence of divine revelation. The one thing that mortal man cannot do is to know and report future events in the absence of a train of circumstances that naturally suggest certain possibilities. • “A miracle of knowledge, a declaration or representation of something future, beyond the power of human sagacity to discern or to calculate. • The Bible contains prophecies about individuals, lands, nations, and the Messiah.

  19. The Bible Confirms • But the prophet, that shall speak a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die. And if thou say in thy heart, How shall we know the word which Jehovah hath not spoken? when a prophet speaketh in the name of Jehovah, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which Jehovah hath not spoken: the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, thou shalt not be afraid of him (Deuteronomy 18:20-22).

  20. First, it must be a specific detailed declaration, as opposed to being nebulous, vague, or general in nature. Second, there must be a sufficient amount of time between the prophetic statement and its fulfillment. Third, the prophecy must be stated in clear, understandable terms. Fourth, the prophecy must not have historical overtones. Two questions (1) Does the Bible employ predictive prophecy? (2) If it does, can the predictive prophecy be proven true? Yes, Yes Valid Prophecy

  21. Prophecy Concerning Tyre • Eze.26:1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, ‘Aha! She is broken who was the gateway of the peoples; now she is turned over to me; I shall be filled; she is laid waste.’ 3 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come up. 4 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers; I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock. 5 It shall be a place for spreading nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken,’ says the Lord God; ‘it shall become plunder for the nations. 6 Also her daughter villages which are in the fields shall be slain by the sword. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.’ 7 “For thus says the Lord God: ‘Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses, with chariots, and with horsemen, and an army with many people.

  22. Prophecy Concerning Tyre • 8 He will slay with the sword your daughter villages in the fields; he will heap up a siege mound against you, build a wall against you, and raise a defense against you. 9 He will direct his battering rams against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers. 10 Because of the abundance of his horses, their dust will cover you; your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen, the wagons, and the chariots, when he enters your gates, as men enter a city that has been breached. 11 With the hooves of his horses he will trample all your streets; he will slay your people by the sword, and your strong pillars will fall to the ground. 12 They will plunder your riches and pillage your merchandise; they will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses; they will lay your stones, your timber, and your soil in the midst of the water. 13 I will put an end to the sound of your songs, and the sound of your harps shall be heard no more. 14 I will make you like the top of a rock; you shall be a place for spreading nets, and you shall never be rebuilt, for I the Lord have spoken,’ says the Lord God.

  23. Prophecy Concerning Tyre • Ezekiel predicted that Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, would destroy the city (Ezekiel 26:7-8). • Many nations were to come up against Tyre (26:3). • The city would be leveled and scraped clean like a bare rock (26:4). • The city’s stones, timbers, and soil would be cast into the sea (26:12). • The surrounding area would become a place for the spreading of fishermen’s nets (26:5). • And, finally, the city never would be rebuilt to its former glory (26:14).

  24. History Tells Us! • History records that each of these predictions came true. Tyre, a coastal city from ancient times, had a somewhat unusual arrangement. In addition to the inland city, there was an island about three-fourth’s of a mile offshore. Nebuchadnezzar besieged the mainland city in 586 B.C., but when he finally was able to inhabit the city in about 573 B.C., his victory was hollow. Unbeknownst to him, the inhabitants had vacated the city and moved to the island.a situation that remained virtually unchanged for the next 241 years. Then, in 332 B.C., Alexander the Great conquered the city, but not with ease. To get to the island, he literally had his army scrape clean the inland city of its debris, and he then used those materials (stones, timbers, and soil) to build a causeway to the island. But even though Alexander inflicted severe damage on the city, it still remained intact. In fact, it waxed and waned for the next 1,600 years until finally, in A.D. 1291, the Muslims thoroughly crushed Tyre. The city never regained its once-famous position of wealth and power. The prophet Ezekiel looked 1,900 years into the future and predicted that Tyre would be a bald rock where fishermen gathered to open their nets. And that is exactly what history records as having happened.

  25. Assyrian Invasion • During a time in the history of Israel in which God’s people had delved deeply into idolatry, the prophet Isaiah foretold that God would raise up the Assyrians as His rod of anger in order to punish the disobedient Hebrews (Isaiah 10:5-6). But, Isaiah noted, after that had been accomplished, God would see to it that the Assyrians themselves were punished for their own wicked deeds (Isaiah 10:12, 24-25).

  26. Assyrian Invasion • Isaiah 10:5 “Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger And the staff in whose hand is My indignation. 6 I will send him against an ungodly nation, And against the people of My wrath I will give him charge, To seize the spoil, to take the prey, And to tread them down like the mire of the streets.12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Lord has performed all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, that He will say, “I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty looks.” 24 Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: “O My people, who dwell in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrian. He shall strike you with a rod and lift up his staff against you, in the manner of Egypt.25 For yet a very little while and the indignation will cease, as will My anger in their destruction.”

  27. Assyrian Invasion • Archaeology has revealed some impressive facts regarding this prophecy. Assyrian records discovered in recent years discuss the fact that in the reign of Hosea, king of Israel, Shalmanesar, ruler of Assyria, assaulted Samaria, the capital city of Israel. However, he died before completing the assault, which was taken up by his successor, Sargon, who captured the city (cf. 1 Kings 18:10). An Assyrian clay prism comments on the fact that 27,290 Israelite captives were taken in the conflict. Almost twenty-five years later, the Assyrian king Sennacherib once again invaded Palestine (2 Kings 18:13ff.). Archaeological records report that 46 Judean cities were seized and that 200,150 Israelites were captured. Jerusalem, however, was not conquered.a fact that is noteworthy since 2 Kings 19:32-34 predicted that Sennacherib would be unable to take the holy city.

  28. Assyrian Invasion • The Taylor Cylinder, discovered at Nineveh in 1830, presents the history of the Assyrians. assault, and states that king Hezekiah of Judah was .shut up like a bird in a cage.. But was Jerusalem itself spared? It was. And were the wicked Assyrians punished? They were. The account in 2 Kings 19:35 indicates that in one night God annihilated 185,000 Assyrian soldiers who had encircled Jerusalem. In addition, the prophecy stated that Sennacherib would return to his home and there fall by the sword (2 Kings 19:7). Some twenty years later, he was assassinated by his own sons, who smote him with the sword while he was worshiping pagan deities (Isaiah 37:37-38).

  29. King Josiah had his life’s work foretold (his name even being provided within the prophetic utterance) more than three hundred years before he was born (1 Kings 13:2). 1 Kings 13:2Then he cried out against the altar by the word of the Lord, and said, “O altar, altar! Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, a child, Josiah by name, shall be born to the house of David; and on you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and men’s bones shall be burned on you.’ ” Other Prophecies

  30. Josiah was not the only king who was called by name prior to birth. Cyrus, the future king of Persia, likewise was called by name more than a century-and-a-half prior to his birth (Isaiah 44:28; 45:1), and some of his activities as king were foretold. As always, the prophecies of the biblical record came true in exacting detail. Isaiah 44:28 Who says of Cyrus, ‘He is My shepherd, And he shall perform all My pleasure, Saying to Jerusalem, “You shall be built,” And to the temple, “Your foundation shall be laid.” ’   Isaiah 45:1 “Thus says the Lord to His anointed, To Cyrus, whose right hand I have held— To subdue nations before him And loose the armor of kings, To open before him the double doors, So that the gates will not be shut: Other Prophecies

So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the Lord for the potter.Matthew 27:9-10 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the value of Him who was priced, whom they of the children of Israel priced,and gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord directed me.” • Zechariah 13:7 “Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, Against the Man who is My Companion,” Says the Lord of hosts. “Strike the Shepherd, And the sheep will be scattered; Then I will turn My hand against the little ones. • Matthew 26:56 But all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled. • Psalm 38:13-14 But I, like a deaf man, do not hear; And I am like a mute who does not open his mouth.Thus I am like a man who does not hear, And in whose mouth is no response. • Isaiah 53:7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb
