This week, we will address several questions related to the Bible and statistics. I have heard it said that prophecy is one of the stronger proofs pointing to the fact that the Bible is from God.
Various books cite different figures, depending upon the manner in which one counts the prophecies.
For example, one writer may count a single verse as a prophecy, while another may see three or four prophetic elements within the same passage. These encompass 8,352 verses. This suggests an extensive population already. The language indicates a tremendously rapid expansion. Obviously he somewhat expanded the figures upon which the earlier estimate had been based.
