2 Pe 1:21 『For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.』ģ.2 Ti 3:16 『“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching.』.That is why the Bible has been regarded as sacred and read by so many people. Every word has power and authority, and all the prophecies have been fulfilled and are being fulfilled. Since the author of the Bible is God, not man, the Bible does not contradict itself-all the words in the 66 books of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation are consistent in their messages. However, there is one thing we must pay attention to: It is God who let all the prophets write the Bible. The books of the Bible were written in different specific historical situations and at different times. It was written by dozens of people from diverse backgrounds there were kings like David, shepherds like Amos, and many more (Am 1:1). The Bible was written over a period of 1,600 years from the time of Moses, who wrote the first five books of the Old Testament, to the time of John the Apostle who wrote the last several books of the New Testament. ※ The reason why the New Testament was written in Greek, not in Hebrew or Aramaic, was because the gospel should be preached to the Gentiles as well.(Since Alexander conquered the east, most countries used Greek in those days.) 2. Greek became the official language of the Roman Empire in the 1st century. (2) The New Testament was written in Greek, a language which was used throughout the world at that time. It is said that the Jews spoke both Hebrew and Aramaic languages after the time of the Babylonian exile. ※ Some books in the Old Testament (Ezr 4:8-6:18 7:12-26 Jer 10:11 Da 2:4-7:28) were written in Aramaic, a language used in Babylon. (1) The Old Testament was written in Hebrew The word “Bible” originates from the Greek word βιβλος.
