That the Bible is the inspired Word of God is true beyond doubt in my opinion.
Hal Lindsey answered this question by saying, “The Jewish people and that they still exist as a people.” Many enemies have come and gone and still Israel thrives. In Ezekiel 37, “Valley of Dry Bones,” God said He’d return the people to the land and he did/ is still doing so. Isaiah 66:8, “Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.”
The Bible has thousands of prophetic verses that have been fulfilled or will be fulfilled in the future. The prophecies found in the Old testament that were fulfilled by Jesus are mind boggling:

The very structure of the Bible proves its divine authorship and is loaded with authentication codes having the fingerprint signature of the author, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. As an example there are the heptadic structures. A few are that the number of the consonants must be divisible by 7, evenly as must be the number of vowels, the number of letters and the number of words.
CM’s commentary technology in the Bible gives an overview of technological advances that are implied in the Bible. In his commentary beyond time and space CM again points out that God is outside of time and space as we know it. Truly He knows the end from the beginning and the beginning from the end. 2 Timothy 3:16, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”
Peter and the other disciples walked with Jesus for more than three years. The disciples were martyred with the exception of John who survived torture and imprisonment. Peter who had denied Jesus just prior to the crucifixion became a force to be reckoned with after the resurrection. Not only was Peter an eloquent speaker after Pentecost, he put complete reliance upon the sure word of prophecy. 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:”
Hundreds of thousands of people died for the crime of adhering to the early and true Christian theology rather than the medieval perverted versions. Jesus said “It is finished” and that we are saved by grace. Salvation isn't a sometimes thing that has to continually be reinforced often by pledges of money. The common people were not to own a Bible much less read it. That so many gave their lives to preserve the Truth and the survival of the Jewish people speaks volumes. Yes, the Bible is the Word of God.
