But I would start by focusing on what the warning signs are according to the Bible itself and work out from there.
Hmm... I didn't grow up religious, so bear with me. But rather than treating the Bible as an axiom, I use "induction works" as my axiom for navigating truth claims, and my inductive findings are that the Old Testament is right about pretty much everything regarding human archetypes and cultural science. For example, an empire in its dying years thinks it is progressive, new-age, and revolutionary—something the world has never seen—but every empire goes through this stage. Ecclesiastes reminds us that there is nothing new under the sun. Moreover, those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them.

This is demonstrative proof that pride is a sin. All the counterculture, postmodern atheists, anti-Christians, feminists, etc. proudly think they are something new and revolutionary, when they are, in fact, dynamically both a byproduct and a cause of literally every forgotten society that rotted inside out.

Whilst I wouldn't use this as "proof" the Bible is true, it should follow that if the Bible does speak truth, then the closer to truth our own inductive reasoning is, the more it will line up with the Bible. And indeed it seems to do so.
