DO PEOPLE ASK YOU FOR PROOF OF GOD? [3 of 3] Here's another fulfilled prophecy from God: In the book of Ezekiel, Amos predicted the city of Tyre would be attacked by many nations and its fortresses would fail. Also, the remains of the city (stones, timber, and soil) would be thrown into the sea and the leveled city would be used to spread fishing nets. By now you know it happened just that way. Several different nations attempted Tyre's destruction but the people would retreat to their island fortress out in the bay, probably taunting the attackers who could not reach them. Finally Alexander the Great came along, dismantling
the houses and other structures of Tyre, and throwing them into
the sea to make a land bridge out to those people on the island. Would you say the Tyre folks probably stopped taunting Alexander's army by the time they were half way there? So, Alexander the Great wiped the city of Tyre completely clean because the ruins all went into the water to make his land bridge. And do you know what the area of the original city is used for today? It's a flat, barren rock that is used as the perfect place to spread fishing nets. All that is exactly what God predicted, and it was well in advance. Over and over again, God prophesied the rise and fall of nations. And God did these sorts of specific predictions 2500 times in the Bible, with 2000 having already come true.
I mean, give me a break! How much more proof do we need? With
each one, God is telling us, "The Bible came from Me!"
