It is possible to prove that the Bible was inspired by a God who could foretell the future thousands of years before it occured. Fulfilled prophecy is the proof of the Bible. There are prophecies that were written before the time of Christ that have been fulfilled in history in just the last 200 hundred years, and I believe that it so unlikely that these predictions could have come true just by chance that I believe these prophecies with the history of their fulfillment is a proof that God is the real author of the Bible.
But that is just a first step. Because that can lead to the next question, how do you know that God is telling the truth? This is where faith comes in. I have proven to myself that the Bible is God's word, but I had to make a decision of faith to believe that God is trustworthy and that His word is true and that He will never lie or break His promises. Whether to believe God or not is a decision everyone will have to make at some time or another.
