To say the least, the Bible is a book like no other. No other book is so debated, so questioned, or so misunderstood. ... Joshua was commanded to do all that was written in the book of the Law (Joshua 1:8). Ezra read from “the book of the law of God daily” (Nehemiah 8:13) “No distinction is made between statements in the book directly attributed to God and the historical comments by the people. ...
Another claim that is not so subtle is in the book of Revelation, “which God gave…to His bondservant John” (Revelation 1:1) John, the writer of the book of Revelation, says the he “bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ. ... ” The book of Revelation also warns of a curse for anyone who adds to the word of the prophecy, which is similar to the warning against adding to God’s commands in the Old Testament (Deuteronomy 4:2 and 12:32). ... The Book of the Acts tell of his message going forth into the world. ... The Book of Revelation tells of His second coming. ...
Secondly, the Bible is not a book that would be written by man. ...

The Book of Leviticus says that Israel would become a wasteland, and would be inhabited by its enemies (Leviticus 26:31-32).
