Biblical prophecy has been precisely accurate not only regarding the "who", but also the "when". The prophecies of Daniel, for example. Isaiah predicted the conquest of Alexander the Great, for another. These prophecies weren't self-fulfilled. It might be possible to predict a vague occurrence and a general timeframe and see it through to fulfillment by manipulation, but, when specific events, involving specific people (by name hundreds of years in advance), happen on a specific day? That is impossible to manipulate. I don't look to science or other knowledge that mankind has learned over the millennia to validate the Bible. I presuppose that the Bible is authentic & authoritative because it is!!!

 

How did Job know that the earth "hangs on nothing"? How did Moses know about the preventative health measures of isolation? He was raised in Egypt, but Egyptian medicine of the day did not have this knowledge.

 

Every hammer that has ever been used on it has been broken by the anvil of the Bible.

Daniel's "70 Weeks" in Daniel 9 is one example. Here are some notes on that:

 

9:24-26 Seventy weeks . . . from . . . until. These are weeks of years, whereas weeks of days are described in a different way (10:2, 3). The time spans from Artaxerxes’s decree to rebuild Jerusalem, c. 445 B.C. (Neh. 2:1-8), to the Messiah’s kingdom. This panorama includes: (1) seven weeks or forty-nine years, possibly closing Nehemiah’s career in the rebuilding of the “street and wall,” as well as the end of the ministry of Malachi and the close of the OT; (2) sixty-two weeks or 434 more years for a total of 483 years to the First Advent of Messiah. This was fulfilled at the triumphal entry on 9 Nisan, A.D. 30 (see notes on Matt. 21:1-9 ). The Messiah will be “cut off,” (a common reference to death); and (3) the final seven years or seventieth week of the time of Antichrist (cf. v. 27). Roman people, from whom the Antichrist will come, will “destroy the city” of Jerusalem and its temple in A.D. 70.

9:24. This highly complex and amazingly accurate prophecy answers Daniel’s prayer, not with reference to near history, but by referencing the far future of Israel at the end of the age.

And we have had 69 weeks. The 70th week is still to come.Our future:

 

9:27 Then. This is surely the end of the age, the Second Advent judgment, because the bringing in of righteousness did not occur seven years after the death of the Messiah, nor did the destruction of Jerusalem fit the seven-year period (occurring thirty-seven years later). This is the future seven-year period which ends with sin’s final judgment and Christ’s reign of righteousness; i.e., the return of Christ and the establishment of His rule. These seven years constitute the seventieth week of Daniel. he shall confirm. He is the last-mentioned prince (v. 26), leader of the Roman sphere (cf. chs. 2; 7), the Antichrist who comes in the latter days. The time is in the future Tribulation period of “one week,” i.e., the final seven years of verse 24. He confirms (lit., causes to prevail) a seven-year covenant, his own pact with Israel, that will actually turn out to be for a shorter time. The leader in this covenant is the “little horn” of 7:7, 8, 20, 21, 24-26, and the evil leader found in NT prophecy (Mark 13:14; 2 Thess. 2:3-10; Rev. 13:1-10). That he is in the future, even after Christ’s First Advent, is shown by: (1) Matthew 24:15; (2) the time references that match (7:25; Rev. 11:2, 3; 12:14; 13:5); and (3) the end extending to the Second Advent, matching the duration elsewhere mentioned in Daniel (2:35, 45; 7:15ff.; 12:1-3) and Revelation 11:2; 12:14; 13:5. middle of the week. This is the halfway point of the seventieth week of years, i.e., seven years leading to Christ’s Second Coming. The Antichrist will break his covenant with Israel (v. 27a), which has resumed its ancient sacrificial system. Three and one-half years of Tribulation remain, agreeing with the time in other Scriptures (7:25; Rev. 11:2, 3; 12:14; 13:5, called “Great Tribulation,” cf. Matt. 24:21) as a period when God’s wrath intensifies. abominations . . . one who makes desolate. The Antichrist will cause abomination against Jewish religion. This violation will desolate or ruin what Jews regard as sacred, namely their holy temple and the honoring of God’s presence there (cf. 1 Kin. 9:3; 2 Thess. 2:4). Jesus refers directly to this text in His Olivet discourse (Matt. 24:15). See note on 11:31. the consummation. God permits this tribulation during the Antichrist’s persecutions and then ultimately triumphs by judging the sin and sinners in Israel (12:7) and in the world (cf. Jer. 25:31). This includes the Antichrist (11:45; Rev. 19:20), and all who deserve judgment (9:24; Matt. 13:41-43).

Incorrect:

 

Author and Date

Several verses indicate that the writer is Daniel (8:15, 27; 9:2; 10:2, 7; 12:4, 5), whose name means “God is my Judge.” He wrote in the autobiographical first person from 7:2 on, and is to be distinguished from the other three Daniels of the OT (cf. 1 Chr. 3:1; Ezra 8:2; Neh. 10:6). As a teenager, possibly about fifteen years old, Daniel was kidnaped from his noble family in Judah and deported to Babylon to be brainwashed into Babylonian culture for the task of assisting with the imported Jews. There, he spent the remainder of a long life (eighty-five years or more).

Daniel made the most of the Exile, successfully exalting God by his character and service. He quickly rose to the role of statesman by royal appointment and served as a confidante of kings, as well as a prophet, in two world empires, i.e., the Babylonian (2:48) and the Medo-Persian (6:1, 2). Christ confirmed Daniel as the author of this book (cf. Matt. 24:15).

Daniel lived beyond the time described in Daniel 10:1 (c. 536 B.C.). It seems most probable that he wrote the book shortly after this date but before c. 530 B.C. Daniel 2:4b-7:28, which prophetically describes the course of Gentile world history, was originally and appropriately written in Aramaic, the contemporary language of international business. Ezekiel, Habakkuk, Jeremiah, and Zephaniah were Daniel’s prophetic contemporaries.
