Atheists, does it scare you that The Holy Bible has forseen so many events?

Atheist approach the Bible with a darkened understanding and try to make sense of it. But just as the Bible says, they cannot understand it in 1 Corinthians 2:14. The only way the Scriptures can make sense to us is for us to read them with a humble heart that is searching for truth. God promises to resist those who are proud. Obviously, the best way for anyone to understand God's Word is to repent and trust Him who said, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of the life," which is said in John 8:12. Many people who reject Christianity do so because they believe the Bible is full of errors. Yet they've never taken the time to actually read through it. There are many seeming contradictions. The professed atheist looks at the Scriptures the same way an extremely nearsighted man would look at Mona Lisa. To him, the painting is merely meaningless blur, so he approaches it and studies it form a distance of one inch, the distance at which he can see anything in focus. Then he steps back and writes a review of the work. Naturally, the review is a horrible one. This is because the only way he will ever appreciate the beauty and harmony of the painting is to step back and see the whole picture. The same is true with the Scripture. The Bible is intended to be read as a whole; when the complete picture is seen, it makes perfect sense. Somebody said that Hitler was a Catholic, which is true. This is the perfect example of someone who's perspective is in within the distance of an inch. A famous source for essing Hitler's personal philosophy, the "Table Talk" transcripts of Hitler's mealtime musings, as recorded by powerful Hitler aide Martin Bormann. These indicate, that Hitler's devotion to the Catholic Church was purely formal and that he departed decisively from Catholic teaching or any Christian moral conviction when it came to treatment of people who were ethnically or philosophically different from the Nazis. He ignores the fact that the twentieth-century ideologies that produced the greatest totalitarian evils, communism and Nazism, both grew out of sustained philosophical rebellion against religious faith, in essence atheism. Does that mean that all atheist are deluded into following benighted ideologies and lunatic notions of cl and race? Of course not. Many, if not most, atheist are patriotic, honest, hardworking, and charitable members of their society.
