The Bible is essentially unique among the religious books of mankind in this respect. Some of them contain a few vague forecasts but nothing comparable to the vast number of specific prophecies found in the Bible. The same is true of modern "prophets," so-called. Such seers as Nostradamus, Jean Dixon, and others have made many predictions, but often they are nebulous and capable of various meanings. A few of their prophecies seem to have been fulfilled in a general way, but most of them have completely failed (ref.1, p.181). Prophets, to be legitimate, must stand the test of time. If the prophet is not completely correct 100 percent of the time, he is a false prophet. Prophecy, to be valid, must predate the event, must be precise enough so as not to be vague, must have enough events described to be beyond human ability to calculate or manipulate; in other words, it must not be something man could do without God's guidance. Now, Lets examine the claims of prophecies in the bible, Can science deny biblical prophecies? and how accurate are they? Lets look at Danial chapter 8:1-8 1.In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar a vision appeared to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you read your own criteria for what makes a legitimate prophecy? Like this part: must be precise enough so as not to be vague, And this is where you want to start? 1.In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar a vision appeared to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
