Prophecy: God Telling the Future

Open in your Bibles with me, if you would, to Isaiah, Isaiah chapter 41.  And just to kind of track you where we are, where we've been, we started several weeks back.  In fact, this is our sixth week looking at the book that you can trust.  The first week we looked at seven reasons why I personally believe that the Bible is a book we can trust.  Then we took two weeks looking at what Jesus thought about the Bible and of course his apostles, and we even mentioned the historical accuracy.  And those are the first three reasons why you can trust the Bible.  Jesus trusted it, his apostles were utterly convinced that the book that they were writing, they were writing not of themselves, but from God.  And every time they mentioned any event historically, it has been incredibly verified by archaeology.  Then we looked for two weeks at the scientific accuracy of the Bible.  That's the actual fourth reason why you can trust the Bible because it's scientifically accurate.  In fact, the Bible is thousands of years ahead of science.  The Bible accurately talks in distinct detail far ahead of the scientific world about the realm and the laws of the universe that God put together.  Then we saw creation and saw how you can trust His book because scientifically it is true and that even what God said, the 13 specific elements of His creative week, every one of them fits scientifically with what He said.
