Wow, the Torygraph said it, guess it must be true.
I suppose the reason that you aren't showing the rest is because either
A) it doesn't fit with what you believe, even the Torygraph doesn't
believe creation *****, and chances are that the article was saying
that religion can accomodate science, not the other way round
B) A search of the Telegraph archives doesn't show anything with that
title, could it be that it didn't exist, or are you quoting a single
random line of body text?
Please elaborate.

Stop! Right there! Prophecy is insanity!

The Bible, taken literally also tells us the world is 6000 years old
(give or take a few hundred) and the Sun was created on the forth day.
This is anti-factual *****.

Not at all. The Bible understood in it original language would tell you
the world and life on it is a few millions years old. Please don't
parrot YEC.

The Bible gives us a record, either actual or prophetic, of seven world
powers during mankind's history. These are not small, insignificant
powers, but powers that had the greatest influence during their term of
existence. Each, during its time, was the Number One Power with which
the nations had to reckon. These were: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon,
Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome and the Anglo-American World Power. The
prophecy of the Bible book of Daniel accurately spoke of the powers of
Daniel's own day, namely, Babylon and Medo-Persia, then foretold the
three to follow. The prophecy called the Medo-Persian and the Grecian
World Powers by name and described the following two. What did
Daniel's prophecy have to say about them?

In the vision that God gave him, Daniel saw four huge beasts,
representing or picturing "kings." (Dan. 7:17) These symbolic
beasts were a lion (Babylon), a bear (Medo-Persia) and a leopard
(Greece), followed by a fearsome beast with teeth of iron, different
from all the others, and having ten horns.

Out of this beast another
"king," a small horn, grew to become prominent, speaking grandiose
words. This final horn faced judgment, not inflicted by another world
power, but a judgment directly administered by the Almighty God. The
terrible beast was the Roman World Power and the horn growing out of it
was the Seventh World Power, which would constitute the last one on
earth. That is the Anglo-American World Power.-Dan. 7:2-12; compare
Daniel 8:20-22.

There are many reasons why we can believe that promise, not the least
being that, up to now, all the prophecies in the Bible have come true.
But just consider the implications. This means that God's kingdom
will soon provide just one government for the whole earth, replacing
the nationalistic, warring governments of today. What a difference this
will make!

The Bible does a great job of foretelling the mythic past. We are better

Let think about what you said, consider just a few examples from the
past where the Bible has accurately foretold what was going to happen.
In the book of Daniel, a part of the Bible written during the time of
the Babylonian Empire in the sixth century BCE, a prophecy was
recorded foretelling that Persia and then Greece would follow Babylon
as world powers. It then foretold that the great Greek Empire would be
divided into four smaller powers, and it convincingly described the
ironlike empire of Rome that would come next. (Daniel 7:1-8; 8:3-8,
20-22) Everything happened as prophesied.

An interesting foreview of the future had to do with the city of Tyre,
to the north of Israel. Ezekiel prophesied that Tyre would be destroyed
by Nebuchadnezzar and gave these details about its ultimate fate: "I
will scrape her dust away from her and make her a shining, bare surface
of a crag. . . . And your stones and your woodwork and your dust they
will place in the very midst of the water. . . . The vast waters will
have covered you." (Ezekiel 26:4, 12, 19) Did this happen?

Yes, it did. Sometime after he destroyed Jerusalem, King Nebuchadnezzar
came against Tyre and overpowered it. However, the city did not totally
disappear. Its inhabitants fled to an offshore island, which they
fortified. Then, almost three hundred years later, Alexander the Great
besieged what by then had become the island city of Tyre. So that his
army could attack the island, he took the ruins of the ancient mainland
city and threw them into the sea to make a causeway out to the island
city. Hence, in remarkably literal detail, the prophecy was fulfilled.
The dust of the ancient city of Tyre was scraped away, and the stones,
the woodwork and the very dust were thrown into the water.

Even more remarkable are the prophecies relating to Jesus Christ. The
Bible foretold not only the time of his appearance as Messiah but also
the things he would do, and even the death he would die. Jesus' whole
life course was in fulfillment of prophecies written hundreds of years
in advance.-Daniel 9:24-27; Isaiah 53:3-9; 61:1, 2.

Even today, Bible students can see remarkable fulfillments of prophecy
in the present political developments. (See, for example, Matthew
24:7-15 and Luke 21:25-28.) And when they read Paul's words in Second
Timothy chapter three, verses one to five, they see a very accurate
description of this world's deteriorating moral climate. Moreover,
the Bible prophesies things for our future too.

It foretells a startling solution to the world's present political
crisis. Speaking of today's competing world rulers, it says: "In
the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that
will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be
passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all
these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times
indefinite."-Daniel 2:44.

There are many reasons why we can believe that promise, not the least
being that, up to now, all the prophecies in the Bible have come true.
But just consider the implications. This means that God's kingdom
will soon provide just one government for the whole earth, replacing
the nationalistic, warring governments of today. What a difference this
will make!
