Does the bible show true prophecy?

There are thousands of prophecies in the bible. Are they true? Most can be shown to be completed due to one of three things. They can either be shown to be so vague that anything could used to demonstrate it occurred, or was so obvious that it had to occur at some point in time, or have been shown to have been written after the fact, retro-fitting the prophecy to an event that already occurred. The other consideration is that they are actually wrong. In actuality, many of these so called fulfilled prophecies failed, were false or weren't prophecies at all.  Many of these prophecies are so vague, they can be attributed to different events.  It's also a fact that the Bible was written many years after these presumed prophecies and their "fulfillment" took place.  It's also fair to mention that nowhere in the Bible will you find countries such as the United States, Russia, China, Korea, Great Britain prophesied.  Oh, Christians will tell you that they are, if you know how to interpret the Bible, but that does not make it accurate.

A story is told about a captain in the U.S. Cavalry many years ago who was riding through a small town in Oklahoma. As he passed by a barn, he suddenly pulled his horse to a stop, because right there before him on the side of the barn were dozens of bull's eye circles drawn with chalk, and in the center of each one was a bullet hole.
About that time another man walked by and the captain asked him, "Do you know who is the marksman responsible for all those bull's eyes?" The passer-by nodded his head and said, "Yep, that would be Billy Hawkins. But he's a mite peculiar."
The captain replied, "Well I don't care what he is like. The Cavalry can use anyone who can shoot that well."
"Ah ha," said the other man, "But I think you should know that Billy shoots first, then he comes over and draws those circles."
The above story is an illustration of a common Christian favorite pastime—making the Bible say what they wanted it to say.

“Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia. No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years. And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries. Yet thus saith the Lord God; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered. And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom. It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.”
—Ezekiel 29:9-15

I think we can all agree that this never happened.

We also have this in Ezekiel

Ezekiel didn’t just predict that Tyre would be destroyed; he predicted it would be destroyed by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon:

• “For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people. He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee. And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers. By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach.”
  —Ezekiel 26:7-10
• 
  This is a false prophecy. Nebuchadnezzar did indeed besiege Tyre for many years – but, as any history book will tell you, he failed to conquer it. (Tyre is a city on an island just offshore, with suburbs on the mainlands. Nebuchadnezzar conquered those, but failed to break into the island city.) Alexander the Great did conquer it later, but he was not the object of Ezekiel’s prophecy.
• God also said in Ezekiel 26:14, “And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the Lord have spoken it, saith the Lord God.”
• This is completely wrong. Tyre exists to this day, and plenty of people still live there
• Genesis 26:4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.
  
  
• Here God tells Isaac that his descendents (Hebrews) will be as numerous as the stars. Considering the number of stars there are in the universe, that would have to be on the order of 10 to the 20th power of Jewish people.
  
  
• Isaiah 17:1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
  Damascus is still inhabited today with over a million people, and hardly a ruinous heap.
• 
  Isaiah 19:4-5 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts. And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.
  The river mentioned here is the Nile. The Nile is still one of Egypt’s greatest natural resource.
• 
  Isaiah 19:18 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.
  The Canaanite language has never been spoken in Egypt, and is now an extinct.
• 
  Isaiah 52:1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
  There are uncircumcised people living in Jerusalem even today.
• 
  Ezekiel 29:10-11 Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia. No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
  Never in its long history has Egypt ever been uninhabited for forty years.

A real prophecy would be along the lines of something like this:

In the year 1776, as the future dating method will present it,  13 colonies of England, on the continent of North America, will rebel and fight a war of freedom. Against superior forces, they will prevail and name this new country The United States of America. They will forgo kings and monarchs and elect people to lead them called  Presidents. The first will be named George Washington.

Now, if someone had said that 3000 years ago, I would call them a prophet. The silly ones in the bible, are only believed by people lost in their god delusion
