Does Old Testament scripture often foretell a future event?
A:Whether Old Testament passages ever foretell future events and, if so, how often, is a matter of faith. The books of the Old Testament were written by Jews for Jews, and modern Jews think that there are a few passages that might have genuinely foretold future events. Christians, on the other hand, see many prophecies in the Old Testament, with some believing that thousands of passages foretell the story of Jesus.Burton L. Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament) helps expalin why views on Old Testament prophecy differ so much. There is a trick that he sees happen all the time, in the classrooms of the School of Theology at Claremont, and which seem to come naturally when studying the Bible. One can ask any question of the Bible and get some kind of answer. At first the study of a text may not seem to support a traditional Christian conviction, or the answer one hopes to find in the Bible. But with a little ingenuity, one can set up the comparison again with other emphases and make the answer come out right. Bingo - you have another prophecy.

How many books does the Old Testament Comprise Of?
A:Probably a minority of Christians and Jews would say that all the books of the Old Testament were inspired by God. Some Jews would certainly say the Torah (Pentateuch) was, but perhaps reserve judgement on some of the other books. At the other end of the spectrum would be those who believe that the authors might have been inspired in a spiritual sense, but not guided or inspired by God. If the books of the Old Testament are the very word of God, we can expect no doublets, no scientific or historical errors and no contradictions anywhere in the entire Old Testament. Moreover, none of the Old Testament should be found to have close parallels to earlier Egyptian or Mesopotamian texts. Since there are indeed many doublets, errors and contradictions, and there are passages that do appear to have been derived from earlier pagan teachings, then the Old Testament is not the word of God in a literal sense. In the usual meaning of the term, none of the Old Testament books were inspired by God.
