How

[raven1]

Did Jesus predict his birth etc. before he was born? I need some with evidence for Jesus and not like look at the Earth. I mean like how do we know the bible is legit. How do we know God was the prophesier. Etc. Thank you guys

We don't. All we have is our faith that the Bible is God breathed and inspired. There are MANY instances in the Bible where Jesus' birth was foretold in the OT. Hundreds of years before He was born.

Who predicted it though? Can't someone other than God or Jesus prophesize.

Prophesy comes from God. You're not going to see some atheist going "God will judge us all!"

But there is plenty of evidence that the Bible is legit, but I don't know that telling you about it would be helpful for you in this situation. Are you still searching Christian apologetics and such lately?

Yeah getting freaked out by the OCt twenty first prediction. So now I am in proof mode so I can believe a hundred percent before then.

Hello
I know how difficult it can be to lay down questions and doubts, to give them to God and leave them there; but in this instance I think that this is what you need to do. Then, if He wants you to know the answers, He will let you know them in His perfect timing, as you rest in Him. At the moment it seems like you searching all of your questions out of worry, is just fueling your fears. Instead, simply give your worries to God, then make a statement of faith such as 'God I trust you that you have all of these things sorted and will let me know if I need to know'. Then, try and ignore your doubts and worries and continue on in your faith. Take your mind off the questions, and get your mind onto something beneficial such as God's love for you. Listen to some praise and worship music, read His Word etc. (and if you need any help with any of these things, there are a lot of us on here who would LOVE to help you).

Your answers aren't found in striving in your own strength to search all of these things online. Instead, your answers, and the peace you so desire, is found in Jesus Christ. Put on the eyes of faith and dare to trust Him in this time, no matter what your mind and emotions may be telling you.

"28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
- Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV)

"28-30"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."
- Matthew 11:28-30 (MSG)

May God bless you. xxx

What do u mean if he wants me to know the answers? Do you mean like he only chooses some to be saved.

Sweetheart, no, i definately wasnt saying that He would reject you. What i meant was that as you give your questions to Him, dont keep worrying about them and trying to find the answers. Instead, re-focus on Him and remind yourself of who He is, and His love for you, and feed your faith in those ways, the peace of God will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus, and your worries and doubts will fade away.
If for some reason, God wants to answer your questions, e.g. so you can encourage someone with the answers, He will let you know the answers. But dont strive to find the answers out of worry because if you really need to know, once you have given them to Him and refocused, He will bring them to you.
Let Jesus Christ be your solution and your answer.
