The Bible contains facts of prophesies being fulfilled. A prophecy simply is a foretold event. The ancient writings, manuscripts, and letters inspired by Jehovah God's holy spirit, helped men to record prophesies and their fulfillment.  Many foretold events surround Jesus Christ and his first coming. Prophets of the Old Testament wrote of events to watch for, these signifying the arrival of the Christ. While Jesus Christ preached during his first coming, he taught of various prophesies and their fulfillment. There are also scientific facts that agree with the Bible.

The Bible Proves Itself 

Deuteronomy 18:15, 18-19 and Acts 3:19-23  Christ's preaching was foretold. We are commanded to listen to Christ because he speaks the words of God.

the book of Acts explains the fulfillment of the prophecy in Deuteronomy 18. Jesus Christ is named as The Prophet to listen to.

Isaiah 61:1-2 and Luke 4:17-21  Christ's mission to preach the gospel and give sight to the blind was foretold by Isaiah. The reference in the book of Luke explains the fulfillment of the prophecy in the book of Isaiah.

Isaiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:20-23  Isaiah spoke of a virgin who would give birth to a son who would be called by the name Immanuel.

Zechariah 9:9 and Matthew 21:4-5  The King arrives riding on a donkey as prophesied by Zechariah.

Psalm 22:16-18 and Matthew 27:35  As described in the book of Matthew, lots were cast for Christ's garments, as prophesied by David in Psalm 22.

Isaiah 40:22  Isaiah recorded that the earth was round ("circle of the earth") approximately 2,200 years prior to Columbus' claim in 1492.

Joshua 10:12-13 and 2 Kings 20:9-11  Joshua tells of a day when the sun stood still for almost a whole day. There is also a short time period in history explained in 2 Kings, when God turned the shadow back 10 degrees.

Matthew 24:3-7, 29-39  Jesus explains what will be happening at the end of the world. World events of approximately the last 100 years parallel what Christ said would happen during the end times. Wars, famines, pestilences and earthquakes have always existed, but have they occurred with such frequency as today? Jesus also warns his followers to be prepared by watching for his second coming. Those watching won't be caught off guard like people were in the days of Noah.
