Just blind luck, right? Let's take a closer look at the odds.
A city destroyed exactly as predicted, right down to the fact that fishermen would spread nets there. Mathematician Peter W. Stoner calculated the probability that only random chance enabled Ezekiel to have made this prophecy and be correct in its details. His conservative calculations estimate a chance of
one in 75,000,000 (75 million) that Ezekiel at the time of writing could have correctly guessed Tyre’s future.

A man named exactly by name allows a temple (that is still standing) to be rebuilt. All just coincidence, right? This probability is taken by Dr. Hugh Ross, Ph.D. -- The prophet Isaiah foretold that a conqueror named Cyrus would destroy seemingly impregnable Babylon and subdue Egypt along with most of the rest of the known world. This same man, said Isaiah, would decide to let the Jewish exiles in his territory go free without any payment of ransom (Isaiah 44:28; 45:1; and 45:13). Isaiah made this prophecy 150 years before Cyrus was born, 180 years before Cyrus performed any of these feats (and he did, eventually, perform them all), and 80 years before the Jews were taken into exile.
(
Probability of chance fulfillment = 1 in 10 to the power of 15.)

I don't know ... Given the astronomical percentge of these prophecies being fulfilled, I would have to say it was God, until someone proves otherwise.
