Yes — the same God who fulfilled the already-fulfilled prophecies in the Bible can be trusted to fulfill the rest.
Les Feldick teaches that Bible prophecy is not human invention but came from God through the Holy Spirit. He points to the 360-some prophecies about Christ's first coming that were fulfilled in detail, as well as Daniel's prophecies of Gentile empires. Since every fulfilled prophecy confirms the Bible is a supernatural Book, unfulfilled prophecy deserves the same trust.
2 Peter 1:19-21 — This passage directly answers the question by showing prophecy is not a matter of human will or private interpretation; holy men spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 24:15 — Jesus Himself calls Daniel a prophet, giving divine authority to one of the Bible's major prophetic books.
Scripture itself teaches that prophecy is trustworthy because it comes from God. In 2 Peter 1:19-21, Peter calls prophecy a "more sure word" and writes: "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." This means prophecy did not originate in human imagination, opinion, or tradition — the Holy Spirit carried the writers along. Jesus also confirms the prophetic office of Daniel. In Matthew 24:15 He speaks of "the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet," identifying Daniel as a genuine prophet and the book of Daniel as a legitimate prophecy. Because God Himself is the source of prophecy, and because He has already proven His prophetic word through fulfilled events, unfulfilled prophecies can be received with confidence.
Les Feldick teaches that fulfilled prophecy is the strongest proof that the Bible is the Word of God. He says that every prophecy he sees fulfilled confirms that the book is supernatural, and he points out that no other book of religion can predict the future 2500 years in advance. Les often cites the 360-some prophecies concerning Christ's first coming — every one of them was fulfilled to the last detail. His conclusion is simple: if God has already fulfilled the first half of prophetic proclamation, why would anyone doubt He will fulfill the last? Les also uses the book of Daniel to make this case. Daniel was written around 606 B.C., and it predicted the Gentile empires that would come down through history — something no mortal man could have thought up on his own. Jesus Himself, in Matthew 24:15, called Daniel a prophet, and that settles the matter for Les. For Les, true Bible prophecy is more than just describing the future. God not only foretells an event, but He places it in an exact time frame. Whether it is forty years, five hundred years, or a thousand years away, God's timing is so exact that you can "bet the farm" it will happen exactly as God said. Since so much prophecy written hundreds and thousands of years in advance has already come true, Les says we can rest on the Word of God as absolute.
Les Feldick says that every prophecy he sees fulfilled confirms that the Bible is a supernatural Book. He notes that no other book of religion can tell the future 2500 years in advance; there is not a single fulfilled prophecy in any other religious book. The Bible's prophets wrote events hundreds and even thousands of years before they happened, and those events have all come to pass. Because of that fulfilled track record, Les says we can rest on the Word of God as absolute.
The book of Daniel was written around 606 B.C., and it predicted all the Gentile empires coming down through history. Les says this demonstrates that the book is so supernaturally put together that mortal men could never have conceived it. Jesus Himself settles the matter in Matthew 24:15 when He speaks of "the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet." Since Jesus is the Eternal Creator and author of the book, His calling Daniel a prophet settles it. Daniel's already fulfilled prophecies serve as another reason to trust what remains unfulfilled.
Les Feldick teaches that when you come to Old Testament Bible prophecy, God does more than foretell an event — He places it in a time frame. God's timing is so exact that whether He says something will happen in forty years, seventy years, five hundred years, or even a thousand years, it will happen exactly as God said. This precise timing is part of what makes true prophecy identifiable and why believers can expect unfulfilled prophecies to be fulfilled at God's appointed time.
Prophecy as the More Sure Word
Les teaches that prophecy is the 'more sure word' Peter wrote about, and that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation or can be twisted out of context.
Prophecy Already Fulfilled
Les points out that so much prophecy written hundreds and thousands of years in advance has already come true, so the rest can also be trusted.
Daniel's Supernatural Prophecy of Gentile Empires
Les uses Daniel, written around 606 BC, to show how the book supernaturally predicted the Gentile empires of world history.
Daniel's Dream, the Antichrist & the Mark of the Beast
That's as far as you have to go. He has put His stamp of approval on the book of Daniel as being a book of prophecy. And so we don't have to conjecture, well, you know, is this something that's not for real? Of course it is. And as I've pointed out ever since we started back in Genesis, just like these three books written uniquely out of the land, all of these just show us and tell us that this bo…
Fulfilled Prophecy Identifies the Bible as Supernatural
Les argues that every fulfilled prophecy proves the Bible is supernatural and that no other book of religion can predict the future 2500 years in advance.
Fulfilled Prophecies of Christ's First Coming
Les cites the 360-some prophecies of Christ's first coming that were fulfilled in every detail as reason to believe God will fulfill the last part.
God's Exact Timing in Bible Prophecy
Les explains that true Bible prophecy includes an exact time frame from God, so whatever God says will happen at His appointed time.
Jesus Confirms Daniel the Prophet
Les uses Matthew 24:15 where Jesus calls Daniel a prophet; Christ's endorsement settles the question for him.
2 Peter 1:19: We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
Peter calls prophecy a 'more sure word' and tells believers to take heed to it.
2 Peter 1:20: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
This shows prophecy is not a matter of human opinion or private interpretation.
2 Peter 1:21: For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
This explains prophecy's divine origin — it did not come from man's will but from the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 24:15: When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Jesus Himself identifies Daniel as a prophet, which Les uses to confirm Daniel's prophecies are trustworthy.
According to Les Feldick, yes. He says the Bible contains prophecy written hundreds and thousands of years in advance that has already come true, including the 360-some prophecies about Christ's first coming. That track record is why he says we can rest on the Word of God as absolute.
Les explains it means you do not take a single verse and twist it to make it say something it does not; every prophecy must be kept in its context. Peter's statement also shows prophecy did not originate from human will but came as holy men of God were moved by the Holy Spirit.
He points to the book of Daniel, written around 606 BC, which predicted all the Gentile empires. He also notes that Jesus in Matthew 24:15 calls Daniel a prophet, which for Les settles the question of whether Daniel's prophecies are genuine.
