A weatherman boasted, "I'm 90 percent right --- 10 percent of the time." That's a ridiculous statement, but some people resort to that type of doubletalk to cover up a poor record.

The Bible's prophetic record, though, truly is accurate. Let's look at a few examples.

The Lord Jesus was born in the city of Bethlehem [Micah 5:2] of a virgin [Isaiah 7:14] at the time specified [Daniel 9:25]. Infants in Bethlehem were massacred as prophesied [Jeremiah 31:15]. Jesus went down into Egypt and returned [Hosea 11:1]. Isaiah foretold Christ's ministry in Galilee [Isaiah 9:1-2]. Zechariah predicted His triumphal entry into Jerusalem on a colt [Zechariah 9:9] and His betrayal for 30 pieces of silver [11:12-13]. David had never seen a Roman crucifixion, yet in Psalm 22, under divine inspirations, he penned a graphic portrayal of Jesus' death. Isaiah 53 gives a detailed picture of our Lord's rejection, mistreatment, death, and burial. These few prophecies [and there are many more] should impress us with the realiability of the Bible.

Since these predictions have all been fulfilled, let us also accept with confidence what the Bible says about the future. Remember, we have a book of prophecy that is right --- all of the time! --- Richard De Haan

I'll trust in God's unchanging Word
Till soul and body sever;
For though all things shall pass away,
His Word shall stand forever! --- Luther

YOU CAN TRUST THE BIBLE --- GOD ALWAYS KEEPS HIS WORD.
