Bibliology: 9 BIBLE EVIDENCES
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker
But
the attempts of higher criticism to date the writing of the Old Testament between
750 and 150 B.C. have failed to destroy the prophetic character of the Bible,
for the most dramatic fulfillments occurred in the birth, ministry, death, and resurrection
of Jesus Christ. Even if we accepted the late dates set by the critics several
hundred years intervened between the utterance and the fulfillment of the prophecies.
And Chalet claims that “Upwards of three hundred separate prophecies have been
identified which belong to the first advent.’’10 According to the laws of probability the chance would be
infinitesimal that a man would appear on the scene who would have this many
predictions, uttered over a period of 1500 years or even 600 years, fulfilled
in detail upon himself. The only reasonable explanation is that Jesus Christ
was indeed the One of whom all of these prophets wrote. And the Bible itself
appeals to fulfilled prophecy as a proof of divine revelation (Isaiah 41:20-23).
