Five years ago, I was in Budapest, Hungary giving a creation
seminar to high school students. A girl
from China asked me how I knew that the Bible was true. I told her, “Fulfilled prophecy.” None of the holy books of the world’s
religions has prophecy in them.
None. That’s because they are
only books. But the Bible is the Word of
God, and God alone knows the future. In
Matthew chapter two, the wise men from the East came to Jerusalem searching for
the new-born King. King Herod was
troubled, because he was the king. So,
he asked the chief priests and scribes where the Messiah would be born, and
they immediately knew: in Bethlehem.
They quoted the prophet Micah in 5:2, “But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah,
though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he
come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been
from of old, from everlasting.” This was
written 700 years before Jesus was born!
That’s crazy! No one can predict
where they will be born. No one except
the very Son of God. You can trust the
Bible, and you can trust God.
