The Bible Revealed Scientific Facts Before Science

Posted on July 1, 2025July 1, 2025 by jakirkgasser10439

Why Believe The Bible Is The Word Of God? It Revealed Scientific Facts Before There Was Science!

Many people assume that the Bible is simply a spiritual or moral text, disconnected from science. However, the Bible—written thousands of years ago—contains astonishing insights into the natural world, often long before scientists discovered or confirmed these facts. These “scientific previews” serve as another compelling indicator that the Bible is divinely inspired.

What Is the Bible?

The Bible is not just a religious book; it is a unified collection of divinely inspired writings. Spanning centuries, it addresses theology, history, human nature—and even contains accurate information about the physical universe.

“The entirety of Your word is truth, and every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever.” — Psalm 119:160 (NKJV)

Who Wrote the Bible?

Although human authors—prophets, shepherds, kings, fishermen—wrote the text, they were all guided by the Spirit of God.

“Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.” — 2 Peter 1:21 (NKJV)

God is the true Author, using people as instruments to record His truth, which includes astonishing statements about the natural world.

What Is Science?

Science is the pursuit of knowledge about the natural world through observation and experimentation. But before modern science was formalized, the Bible had already revealed truths about the universe, biology, medicine, and earth sciences that would not be confirmed until centuries—or even millennia—later.

Can Ancient Texts Contain Real Scientific Truth?

While most ancient writings are full of myths and errors about the natural world, the Bible stands alone in describing the earth, stars, oceans, and life in ways that align with scientific reality—without contradiction. This is strong evidence that its Author is not bound by time or human ignorance.

Table: Scientific Facts in the Bible — Long Before Discovery

Scientific Fact	Bible Ref	Verse	Date Discovered	By Whom
Earth is a sphere	Isaiah 40:22	“It is He who sits above the circle of the earth…”	~500 BC	1492 AD (confirmed by circumnavigation), Ancient Greeks (~500 BC) theorized it
Earth floats in space	Job 26:7	“He hangs the earth on nothing.”	~1500 AD	Copernicus, Newton
Ocean currents exist	Psalm 8:8	“…the paths of the seas.”	~1855 AD	Matthew Maury (Father of Oceanography)
Blood is the source of life	Leviticus 17:11	“For the life of the flesh is in the blood…”	~1600 AD	William Harvey (discovered blood circulation)
Air has weight	Job 28:25	“To make the weight for the wind…”	~1600s AD	Evangelista Torricelli, Blaise Pascal
Mountains under the sea	Jonah 2:6	“…the earth with its bars closed behind me forever…”	~1800s AD	Oceanography (deep sea mapping)
Light can be divided	Job 38:24	“By what way is light diffused…?”	~1600s AD	Isaac Newton (prism experiments)

Stars are uncountable	Genesis 15:5	“Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them…”	~1600s AD	Galileo (first telescope)

Why This Matters

Most religious texts reflect the scientific misunderstandings of their time. But the Bible stands apart. It consistently speaks accurately about nature, biology, and cosmology—often thousands of years before scientific discovery confirmed it. That’s because the Author is God, who created all things and knows them intimately.

“Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.” — Psalm 147:5 (NKJV)

Conclusion: The Bible Is Timeless Truth

Scientific foresight in the Bible is not accidental. It is a powerful sign of divine authorship. The same God who created the universe inspired Scripture—revealing truths that no ancient writer could have known apart from Him.

If the Bible is right about science, then it can be trusted in matters of faith, salvation, and eternity.

Why Believe The Bible Is Form God? Only God Can Predict The Future

Posted on July 1, 2025July 1, 2025 by jakirkgasser10439

Why Believe The Bible Is From God? Only God Can Predict The Future

One of the strongest evidences that the Bible is truly the Word of God lies in its fulfilled prophecy. No other religious book predicts future events in such detailed and accurate ways—often centuries before they happen. Let’s explore why this matters and what it tells us about the Bible’s divine origin.

What Is the Bible?

The Bible is a collection of 66 books, written over roughly 1,500 years by more than 40 authors from different backgrounds, languages, and regions. Despite this diversity, it presents a unified message about God’s nature, His relationship with humanity, and His plan of redemption through Jesus Christ.

Who Wrote the Bible?

Though human hands penned the words of Scripture, the Bible itself claims that its ultimate author is God.

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God…” — 2 Timothy 3:16 (NKJV)
God used men, inspired by the Holy Spirit, to write what He intended to communicate to humanity.

What Is Prophecy?

Prophecy is a divine message that often includes foretelling future events. These predictions are not vague or metaphorical—they are specific and often time-stamped, describing places, people, and outcomes in clear terms.

Who Can Predict the Future?

God declares that only He can accurately predict future events.

“I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done…” — Isaiah 46:9–10 (NKJV)

No human, government, or religious leader has consistently predicted world events or the coming of a messiah with flawless accuracy—except the God of the Bible.

How Can We Tell the Bible Was Written by God?

Fulfilled prophecy is one of the most convincing proofs. The Bible contains hundreds of specific predictions, many of which have been fulfilled with incredible precision. This divine foreknowledge confirms the Bible’s supernatural origin.

Two Groups of Fulfilled Prophecies

We’ll examine two major categories:

Significant Historical Events
The Coming of the Messiah

Table 1: Fulfilled Prophecies — Significant Events

Prediction	Bible Ref	Verse	Date Prophecy Written	Date of Actual Event	Reference Document
Destruction of Jerusalem by Babylon	Jeremiah 25:11	“This whole land shall be a desolation…”	~605 BC	586 BC	Babylonian Chronicles
Cyrus to Rebuild Jerusalem	Isaiah 44:28	“Cyrus…shall perform all My pleasure…”	~700 BC	538 BC	Cyrus Cylinder
Fall of Babylon	Isaiah 13:19	“Babylon…will be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.”	~700 BC	539 BC	Persian & Greek Histories
Alexander’s Empire Split	Daniel 8:21-22	“…the large horn is the first king…four kingdoms shall arise…”	~550 BC	~323 BC	Historical Records
Destruction of Tyre	Ezekiel 26:3-14	“They shall destroy the walls of Tyre…”	~586 BC	332 BC (by Alexander)	Greek Histories
Global Dispersion of Jews	Deuteronomy 28:64	“The Lord will scatter you among all peoples…”	~1400 BC	AD 70 onward	Roman Historians

Table 2: Fulfilled Prophecies — The Messiah

Prediction	Bible Ref	Verse	Date Prophecy Written	Actual Event	Bible Ref	Verse
Born in Bethlehem	Micah 5:2	“But you, Bethlehem…out of you shall come forth…”	~700 BC	Birth of Jesus	Matthew 2:1	“Jesus was born in Bethlehem…”
Born of a virgin	Isaiah 7:14	“Behold, the virgin shall conceive…”	~700 BC	Virgin birth	Matthew 1:22–23	“A virgin shall be with child…”
Enter Jerusalem on a donkey	Zechariah 9:9	“Your King is coming…lowly and riding on a donkey…”	~500 BC	Triumphal Entry	Matthew 21:5–7	“They brought the donkey…”
Betrayed for 30 pieces of silver	Zechariah 11:12–13	“…they weighed out for my wages thirty pieces of silver…”	~500 BC	Judas’ betrayal	Matthew 26:15	“They counted out to him thirty pieces of silver.”
Hands and feet pierced	Psalm 22:16	“…they pierced My hands and My feet.”	~1000 BC	Crucifixion	John 20:27	“Look at My hands…”
Cast lots for clothing	Psalm 22:18	“They divide My garments among them…”	~1000 BC	At the cross	John 19:24	“They cast lots for My tunic…”
Buried in a rich man’s tomb	Isaiah 53:9	“They made His grave with the wicked—But with the rich…”	~700 BC	Burial in Joseph’s tomb	Matthew 27:57–60	“A rich man…laid it in his new tomb.”

Conclusion: God’s Signature in Prophecy

Fulfilled prophecy is like God’s signature across the pages of Scripture. No other book dares to make hundreds of predictions, many centuries in advance, and succeeds without error. The Bible does, and this is one reason you can trust it is indeed the Word of God.

“So we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place…” — 2 Peter 1:19 (NKJV)

If God has spoken, we would be wise to listen. And through prophecy, we know—He has.
