The authority of the Bible is underscored by the pronouncements of One who claims to be God, speaking with absolute certainty about the fate of the great city of Tyre. This One declares, "I am God, I have spoken it," asserting that many nations would come against Tyre like waves of the sea, one after the other, to destroy its walls, break down its towers, and demolish its buildings. He foretells that the stones, timbers, and even the top soil of Tyre would be scraped into the Mediterranean Sea, reducing the city to the top of a rock, a place to spread nets, and a spoil to many nations. This authority is further evidenced in specific prophecies, as God Eternal is quoted speaking directly, declaring that He would bring Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, against Tyre with horses, chariots, horsemen, and vast armies to slay its people, break down its towers, and tread down its streets. Yet, it is not just one nation, as God specifies that many nations would follow, each contributing to the city's destruction. The fulfillment of these prophecies reinforces the Bible's authority, as Nebuchadnezzar besieged Tyre for 13 years, demolishing the mainland portion as foretold. Later, after 250 years, Alexander the Great came, demolished the remains of Old Tyre, and used the debris to build a causeway to the island portion, turning it into a peninsula and capturing the city after a seven-month siege. These events, unfolding over centuries as predicted, challenge any notion of mere human conjecture, highlighting the power of the One who speaks through the Bible to pronounce and bring to pass judgments on nations and cities.

The Eternal reveals Himself through the Bible as a Sovereign, All-Powerful, Governing God who is to be obeyed. The Bible's authority is evident in its clear depiction of kingdoms and governments that bear rule over people on earth, as shown through the prophet Daniel's interpretations of world-ruling empires. These prophecies, spanning from the Chaldean Empire to the future revival of the Roman Empire, demonstrate God's foreknowledge and control over history, affirming the Bible's authenticity. Furthermore, the present-day fulfillment of Jesus Christ's prophecy in Matthew 24:14, where the gospel of the kingdom is preached worldwide, serves as proof of the Bible's authority, signaling the nearness of the end of this age.
