FINAL EPISODE => IS THE BIBLE
REALLY TRUE?
Jesus Christ
said in prayer to God: “your word is truth.” (john 17:17). But do the facts
supports this? When the bible is carefully examined, do we find that it really
is the truth? Students of history who have atudied the bible are often amazed
at its accuracy. The bible contains specific names and details that can be
confirmed. Consider some examples.
Look at the pictures and writing on the
temple wall at karnak, Egypt.
They tells of the victory, almost 3000 years ago,
of pharaoh shishak over the kingdom of Judah during the rule of solomon’s son
Rehoboam. The Bible tells about the same event.—1 kings 14:25, 26.
Look also at Moabite Stone.
The original
can be seen in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The writings tells of the
rebellion by king Mesha of Moab against Israel. This event Is also reported by
the Bible—2 kings 1:1; 3:4-27
Yet the bible does not only contain only
true history. Everything it says is true. Even when it touches the matter of
science, it is marvelously accurate. To give just two examples: in ancient
times it was commonly believed that the earth had some visible support, that is
rested on something, such as on gaint. Yet in perfect agreement with scientific
evidence, the bible reports that God is “hanging the earth upon nothing.”(Job
26:7) And rather than saying that the
earth is flat, as many believed in the past, the bible says that God “is
dwelling above the circle of the earth.”—Isaiah 40:22. But the greatest proof
that the bible really is from God is its perfect record in foretelling the
future. No book by men accurately reports history before it happens; yet the
bible does. It is filled with accurate prophecies , yes, of history actually
written in advance. Some of the most remarkable of these are the regarding the
coming to earth of God’s Son.
