I have researched, all of the prophecies that were SPECIFICALLY fulfilled in the Bible. Most Bible historians recognize that Daniel was in fact written after the PROPHECIES occured. Isaiah was in fact written by three different writers. If you read it you will notice totally different writing styles. The portion refering to the Cyrus prophesies is in fact written in a style from a period after occurances associated with Cyrus happened. We can just take it by blind faith that the Bible was written in the times that they propose or we can look at it honestly and recognize the possibility that these writings were 'discovered' after the actual occurances. Remember the Bible is just a compilation of different holy writings. The Catholic Bible has many more books in it. How do we know that these were not in fact blessed by God. Are the inconsistencies in these Catholic books any worse than those in the NWT.
