If I were a Jewish
brother or sister, or a Muslim who denies Jesus, what is below
would send shivers up and down my spine. It shows an awful lot
of proof that the 66 books of the Bible are supernaturally
endowed by God. Not only are the books of the Bible, written
over a period of several thousand years, all tied together from
Genesis to Revelation, but they consist of prophecy which is
100% accurate. No other holy book including the Qur'an can match
the Bible in its supernatural accuracy. The Qur'an doesn't even
dare to make a real prophecy.
Let's just look at just one "set" of "hidden" messages inside
the Bible, in the Book of Genesis. This is the first book of
Torah, and the Jews have had access to it for thousands of
years. Why is it we often see pictures of Jewish rabbi's
"pouring over" Torah, and making it their life's work to study
Torah. Yet they have missed the most important message in the
Bible. That message is that:
(1) God, "who inhabits eternity", was aware of our human problem
with sin from the very beginning.
(2) From the very beginning God already had it worked out how to
allow a sinful human into heaven. God wrote His "love story"
early on in Genesis.
(3) Since God allowed our sinful nature, He Himself can be the
only one worthy to "pay the price" for us -- allowing humans to
mingle with Angels, and partake of eternity.
(4) God Himself died on that cross in Jerusalem, so that
those who believe in Him and repent will have eternal life.
Let's look at God's plan spelled out from the very beginning.
Hidden only for those who can "see"....

God told us that His Word would confound some. And He hinted
that there is a lot to look for, yet the answers are there, when
He told us: "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; It is
the honor of kings to search out a matter"...
