The Bible is often seen as a special and true book because it mixes past stories, beliefs, and predictions. One of the most amazing things about the Bible is how it tells future things, like events that happen long after it was wrote. This article talks about why Bible predictions is 100% right, showing some completed predictions as proof.

1. The Kind of Bible Predictions

Bible predictions can be a message from God about future things, often given by a prophet. The Bible has many predictions—about the future of countries to the coming of the savior. Many of these predictions were made long before the events actually happen, sometimes hundreds or even thousands of years before. The rightness of these predictions is often said to be one of the big reasons for the Bible's holy start.

There are 100s of prophecies that have come true currently in the Bible with a handful that are “Yet to come”. These are scary and exciting depending which side you are on and what you believe.

We will be writing a series of articles on prophecy in the coming weeks as we delve deeper into some of them.

2. Completed Predictions About Jesus Christ

One of the most convincing samples of Bible predictions being 100% right is found in the many predictions about the life, death, and rising of Jesus Christ. The New Testament writers show how Jesus finished Old Testament predictions, highlighting His divine nature and job.

- The Place Jesus was Born
The prophet Micah, writing around 700 BC, said that the savior would be born in Bethlehem:

"But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the tribes of Judah, from you will come for me one who will be leader over Israel, whose beginnings are from of old, from ancient times." —Micah 5:2 (NIV)

This prediction was completed in the New Testament when Jesus was born:

"In those days Caesar Augustus made a rule that a count should be taken of the whole Roman world. This count happened when Quirinius was leader of Syria. And everyone went to there own town to register. So Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he was of the house and line of David." —Luke 2:1-4 (NIV)

- The Suffering Savior
The prediction of the suffering servant in Isaiah 53 gives a clear picture of the savior’s pain and death, many years before Christ was born:
"He was hated and refused by people, a man of pain, and used to hurt. Like one from whom people hide there faces he was hated, and we thought of him as low." —Isaiah 53:3 (NIV)
This prediction is strongly completed in the life and death on the cross of Jesus, who was hated, refused, and crucified for the wrongs of the world. The New Testament story highlights the completion of these predictions in Christ’s death.
"They will look on the one they have pierced." —Zechariah 12:10 (NIV)
This verse, wrote in the 5th century BC, is completed in the death of Jesus, where He is pierced by a spear after His death on the cross (John 19:37).

- The Rising Again
Psalm 16:10 and other Old Testament scriptures hint at the rising again of the savior. King David speaks predictively in Psalm 16, saying that God would not let His "Holy One" see decay:
"Because you will not leave me to the land of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay." —Psalm 16:10 (NIV)
The Apostle Peter talks about this prediction in his speech on the Day of Pentecost, saying it was completed in the rising again of Jesus:
"For David did not go up to heaven, and yet he said, 'The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand until I make your foes a footstool for your feet.' " —Acts 2:34-35 (NIV)

3. Predictions About Countries

The Bible also has many predictions about the rise and fall of countries, which have been completed with amazing exactness.

- The Fall of Tyre
In Ezekiel 26, the prophet says the ruin of the old city of Tyre. He predicts that Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, would ruin the city, and later, that it would never be build again.
"They will ruin the walls of Tyre and break down her towers; I will scrape away her rubble and make her a flat rock." —Ezekiel 26:4 (NIV)
While Nebuchadnezzar attacked Tyre for years (see Ezekiel 26:7-11), the full ruin came later when Alexander the Great attacked the city in 332 BC. He used the ruins of Tyre to build a path to the island city, completing the prediction that Tyre would be left bare.

- The Fall of Babylon
In Isaiah 13 and Jeremiah 51, the fall of Babylon is predicted. Babylon, one of the most strong empires in the old world, is said to fall to the Medes, and its cities will be left empty.
"Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms, the pride of the Babylonians' pride, will be destroyed by God like Sodom and Gomorrah." —Isaiah 13:19 (NIV)
Indeed, Babylon fell in 539 BC to the Medes and Persians under King Cyrus, and its shine faded. Today, Babylon is an old site, far from the busy city it once was.

- The Return of Israel
One of the most amazing predictions in the Bible is about the bringing back of the Jewish people to their land after many years of exile. The prophets Ezekiel, Isaiah, and Jeremiah all talked of a time when the Jewish people would return to the land of Israel:
"I will bring you back from the countries and gather you from the places where you have been scattered." —Ezekiel 36:24 (NIV)
This prediction began to be completed in the 20th century with the making of the State of Israel in 1948. The bringing back of the Jewish people to their old homeland is seen by many as a clear sign of God's loyalty to His promises.

4. The Happening of World Things
Besides specific things, many Bible predictions are seen to be completed over long times, with there effects still happening in modern times. For example, the Book of Daniel has predictions about four following empires: Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome. These empires have all grown and fallen in the order told, and some writers see the last part of these predictions pointing to the future.

The Book of Revelation, full of end-times pictures, also has predictions that some say are relevant to the current or future world events, including the rise of a one-world government, a person known as the Antichrist, and the return of Jesus Christ to judge the living and the dead.

5. The Steadiness of Completion
The rightness of Bible predictions can be specially convincing because of its steadiness. The predictions made by different prophets over hundreds of years always come to pass, often in great detail. Also, the Bible has inside proof of its reliability—many predictions were wrote and recorded ahead, and the completion of these predictions has been seen by many generations.

The End
The Bible's predictive rightness is one of the strongest reasons for its holy start. Whether through the predictions about the life of Jesus Christ, the fall of great empires, or the bringing back of Israel, the completion of Bible predictions stands as a witness to the truth of God's Word. As we look at the historical and current things in light of biblical predictions, believers are reminded of the loyalty and control of God, whose Word stays firm and true.

While not all predictions have been completed yet, the pattern of completion gives Christians hope that the remaining predictions will come to pass just as surely as those already completed.
