What makes the Bible different from all other Books?

Prophecies!!!!!!!!

Facts: There are 66 different books written over a 1400 years times span with over 40 different Authors they all say the something about Elohim (God) all though living different generations and different times.

Isa 46:9 "Remember the former events of old, for I am Ěl, (the God) and there is no one else – Elohim (powers, or Gods), and there is no one like Me, (The Scriptures Version)

Isa 46:10 declaring the end from the beginning, and from of old that which has not yet been done, saying, 'My counsel does stand, and all My delight I do,' (The Scriptures Version)


 

Same verse different version

Isa 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,

Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: (KJV)


 

Some scholars have calculated that nearly one – third of the Bible is prophetic in nature. Others have determined there are approximately, 2500 separated prophecies that forecast future events.


 

Heb 1:1
Elohim, having of old spoken in many portions and many ways to the fathers by the prophets
(The Scriptures Verison) (he spoke to us through the prophets thus the Bible)

Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, (KJV)


 

2Pe 1:19
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
(KJV)


 

Man is naturally inclined due to his fallen nature, to look for evidence that refutes God's existence. If the Bible only contained a couple prophecies that had found fulfillment, we would be tempted to call them coincidences, but when we consider that prophecy occupied practically one third of the written word, it becomes irrefutable (even for the skeptic) that the scriptures are something special something supernatural.


 

Psa 14:1 & 53:1
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God
(Elohim). They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. (KJV)

Deu 18:21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD(YHWH) hath not spoken?

Deu 18:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD (YHWH), if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD (YHWH). hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him. (KJV)
(layman terms: Q: How do we know if it's of YHWH(the Lord) if YHWH (the Lord) did not say it Himself? Answer: if it doesn't come to pass it's not from Him.)
