Revelation - Prophecies Revelation

• There is the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament has 39 books and the New Testament has 27. (There are 66 books in the entire Bible.)
  

• There are a number of ways that people have divided the Bible in parts or sections. The most popular division is the "Old Testament" which is the first 39 books, from Genesis to Malachi and was written mainly in Hebrew, and the "New Testament" which is the last 29 books from Matthew to Revelation, and was written mainly in Greek with some parts written in Hebrew and Aramaic. Some people like to consider the "Gospels," Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John as a division. The Pentateuch, which is the first five books of the Bible, is a lesser known "division" of the Bible. Even Psalms has been considered by some to be a division, as it is in itself a collection of books containing songs and praises to God. Whether we prefer to recognize divisions within the Bible or not, it is important to recognize the entire Bible as "inspired of God and beneficial."(Timothy 3:16)
