Never was a religious person, but started to read Bible recently, and here's some thoughts, maybe even from a little crazy side. There's two main sides of the book, one is narrative-based (describing events, happennings, meetings and such), and the other is highly cryptic (quotes from Jesus, parables, some of them stand out, like Matthew 13:15). It almost feels like some hidden communication. The thing is that out-of-place thingies, passages that are really weird, they tend to resonate with current events. Maybe because they were cyptic the first place, maybe because of mistranslation. Almost to the extent that it feels it is not a book about past events, but a book of prophecy. So, now the crazy dive. Now imagine a delta of 2000 years. Could it happen?

For me it's actually not clear if it happened or not. I come from purely materialistic worldvew background, as I stated, I never was religious. A lot of things do not make sense to me and a lot of things I have trouble believing, like resurrection of people or miracles. Some things I interpret literally, some things I interpret in a spiritual way. It's hard to explain, but it feels like it doesnt have to make sense every time. I approach it with open mind, it's like diving into unknown. Thank you for your answer nonetheless.
The human mind cannot comprehend God or all His works. Growing spiritually is a process of expanding not just our understanding, but also to increase our ability to understand more. So, things not making sense ... makes sense. Accepting that is humility, which allows for greater understanding. Biblical prophecy is another way that future proves past, and also proves God.
