No prophecy was ever made by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit (2 Pet. 1:21).
There are many fulfilled prophecies in the Bible, some of which were written centuries ago. History confirms that these prophecies were fulfilled. This is not surprising, for we know that the author of these prophecies is Jehovah. Consider the fall of the mighty city of Babylon. In the eighth century B.C.E., Jehovah inspired the prophet Isaiah to predict that Babylon would be conquered. Isaiah even said that the conqueror would be named Cyrus and explained in detail how he would invade the city. (Isa. 44:27–45:2) He also prophesied that Babylon would eventually be destroyed and completely uninhabited. (Isa. 13:19, 20) The once glorious city fell to the Medes and Persians in 539 B.C.E., and is now nothing more than a pile of ruins. w23.01 4 par. 10.
