Outside Sources Justifying the Bible's Authenticity and Prophetic Statements:
Biblical Source (literal translation): "But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord's brother" (Galatians 1:19, ESV).
Non-Biblical Source (literal sync): "Festus was now dead, and Albinus was but upon the road; so he assembled the sanhedrim of judges, and brought before them the brother of Jesus, who was called Christ, whose name was James..." ([i]Antiquities[/i], Book 20, Chapter 9).
Biblical Source (metaphorical translation): Background: Before the following statement, Daniel had a vision (Daniel 8:1-14), and he had no idea what it meant (Daniel 8:15). So God instructed Gabriel to tell Daniel the meaning of the vision (Daniel 8:16). When Gabriel came to Daniel, Daniel fainted, and Gabriel woke him up (Daniel 17-8), stating, "As for the ram that you saw with two horns, these are the kings of Media and Persia. And the goat is the king of Greece. And the great horn between his eyes is the first king (the first king to conquer and control both the Medes and the Persians)" (Daniel 8:20-1, ESV).
Non-Biblical Source (use any textbook preference): If you are a history scholar, you would understand that the biblical description describes Alexander the Great (Daniel 8:4). At the height of his power, he died unexpectedly (Daniel 8:8), and his kingdom was given over to his four generals (Daniel 11:4), who "were not his descendants," yet they did not become as powerful (Daniel 8:22) as Alexandar.
The Bible gives further prophetic verses conserving the Roman Empire, the Greeks, the Medes and Persians, the Gentiles (me and you), the Jews, Cyrus the Great, and more. As far as historical substantiation goes, the Bible has never been wrong.
