The Bible is the inspired word of God, and the Bible’s prophetic teaching is ‘probably the most direct evidence for the special involvement of God in this book’. “For example, the exact manner of Jesus’ death was foretold in the Old Testament (Isaiah 53); the place of his burial and even the place of his birth (Micah 5:2). Suppose Jesus had been a con man wanting to fulfil all these prophecies. It would have been a bit late by the time he discovered the place in which he was supposed to have been born!”
