Therefore the male goat grew very great but when he became strong, the large horn was broken, and in place of it four notable ones came up toward the four winds of heaven. There was no power in the ram to withstand him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled him and there was no one that could deliver the ram from his hand. And I saw him confronting the ram he was moved with rage against him, attacked the ram, and broke his two horns. Then he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing beside the river, and ran at him with furious power. And as I was considering, suddenly a male goat came from the west, across the surface of the whole earth, without touching the ground and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward, so that no animal could withstand him nor was there any that could deliver from his hand, but he did according to his will and became great. Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and there, standing beside the river, was a ram which had two horns, and the two horns were high but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last. I saw in the vision, and it so happened while I was looking, that I was in Shushan, the citadel, which is in the province of Elam and I saw in the vision that I was by the River Ulai. In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar a vision appeared to me-to me, Daniel-after the one that appeared to me the first time. In that passage, the prophet Daniel relates to his readers the following prophetic vision: This article will deal with only one, which is found in Daniel chapter 8. In truth, a multitude of accurate, predictive prophecies fill the pages of the Bible. Completely accurate, fulfilled prophecy is a characteristic that verifies the divine inspiration of the Bible. As the prophet Jeremiah wrote: “As for the prophet who prophecies of peace, when the word of the prophet comes to pass, the prophet will be known as one whom the Lord has truly sent” (28:9).

By attempting to disparage the prophecies using these methods, the skeptic admits that if the prophecies were written centuries before the events, and if they are fulfilled in detail, then a supernatural agent is responsible for them. That is why the skeptic attempts to discredit the prophecies by claiming that they were written after the events, or by claiming that they were not fulfilled in detail. Even the skeptic understands that if this is the case, a supernatural agent must be responsible for the writing of the Bible. Not only are the prophecies of the Bible fulfilled in minute detail with complete accuracy, but these fulfillments are often accomplished centuries after the prophecies were made. One extremely valuable line of evidence that confirms that the Bible is the inspired Word of God is the presence of accurate, predictive prophecy contained in its pages.
