Prophets of the Bible

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophets_of_Christianity

The latest book in the Old Testament was written some four hundred years before Jesus was born. Not even the harshest critics of the Bible would ever claim that those verses were written after His birth, because historians know that the entire Old Testament was translated from Hebrew into Greek in Alexandria a century and a half before He was born. No other person in history has ever been the subject of so much prophetic writing. You will find no predictive prophecies whatsoever in the writings of the Buddha, Confucius, Muhammad, Lao-tse, or Hinduism. Yet the Old Testament alone contains well over two thousand prophecies, most of which have already been fulfilled. Of these prophecies in the Old Testament, 333 texts deal with the promised Messiah; they contain 456 specific details of His life—456 specific ways in which the Messiah could be identified at His coming to Israel.
