Isaiah said Israel's fruit would fill the world
Bible passage: Isaiah 27:6
Written: perhaps between 701-681 BC
Fulfilled: late 1900s
In Isaiah 27:6, the prophet said Israel would one day blossom and fill the world with fruit. This prophecy has been at least partially fulfilled so far, literally and spiritually. Today, the land of Israel, which had been barren for centuries, is a leading producer of agricultural products, exporting food to many countries. This prophecy also has been fulfilled spiritually with the worldwide spread of Christianity, which began with Jesus in Israel.

Isaiah 27:6
In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit.

The Bible is a fictional waste of time

I do not deny that the Holy Bible is the Word of God. However, there are some errors in it, especially on some details. The Holy Spirit we talk to recommended that we use the King James Version because He said that it is nearer the truth.

Who do you think can tell us which ones are true and which ones are false or erroneous? Jesus told us who. He is the Holy Spirit. In John 16:13, it states: “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.”

That is why, repeatedly, in Revelation, it states: “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” So we have to listen to the Holy Spirit. But how do we know which spirit? John 16:13 says “he will show you things to come.” This means, He will prophesy. And to prophesy is what distinguishes the true God from the false gods. The true God can prophesy. The false gods cannot.

Surely you're familiar with the concept of self-fulfilling prophesy:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-fulfilling_prophecy

In his book Social Theory and Social Structure, Merton gives as a feature of the self-fulfilling prophecy

"The self-fulfilling prophecy is, in the beginning, a false definition of the situation evoking a new behavior which makes the original false conception come 'true' This specious validity of the self-fulfilling prophecy perpetuates a reign of error. For the prophet will cite the actual course of events as proof that he was right from the very beginning."

In other words, a false prophetic statement — a prophecy declared as truth when it is not — may sufficiently influence people, either through fear or logical confusion, so that their reactions ultimately fulfill the false prophecy.

The Bible is an important part of the Word of God. Everything Jesus taught was the Word of God from the moment He spoke it, because He is and was God. Therefore, it was the Word of God before any of it was written down; and it was the Word of God centuries before the Catholic Church gathered some of the Apostles' writings into a book. We know however that not everything Jesus did and taught was included in the book. We know this because the book tells us so. Therefore there are parts of the Word of God that were not included in the Apostles' correspondence, and which therefore didn't get included in the book. Obviously these portions of Jesus' teaching, which were the Word of God before the Bible was compiled, were still the Word of God after the Bible was compiled. These portions of the Word of God are known as Apostolic Tradition, and were passed on from apostolic times by the teaching of Christ's holy Church, which the Bible calls "the pillar and foundation of truth".

To cut to the chase and answer the question, Yes. It's the word of men who were possibly right some of the time in transcribing some things about God, but who also had an agenda and wrote things that they attributed to God.
Not that it matters.

No, I know the Bible is the word of God. God bless.
