The Bible is the best selling book of all time! What makes the Bible so special? This a book that is unlike any book ever written. It contains 66 books from 40 different authors each having differing jobs and backgrounds from a King to a fisherman. It was written over a span of 1500 years and yet it contains a unified message all the way through and has no contradictions! Imagine trying to get a group of 40 authors to each write a book about any subject. Would they all agree 100 percent? No way. The Bible is truly remarkable!
The Bible is split into two parts, the old and new testament or covenant. What is a covenant? A covenant is a legal binding contract between two parties. For example, a marriage covenant or a house mortgage. What happened to make the Bible be split like this? Jesus was born. The Old Testament is before Jesus, and the New Testament is after Jesus.

What does the Bible have to say about the future? Has it been correct in it's prophecies in the past? The Bible is about 1/3 prophecy. Some of these predictions were about Jesus's first coming. For instance: that he would be born of a virgin in the town of Bethlehem. Here is a list of over 350 Old Testament prophecies that were fulfilled by Jesus's first coming. If all of these events were fulfilled to the very detail, we can trust that what the Bible has to say about future events will also be accurate.
