Ok in the bible there are predictions fullfilled hundreds of years after the authors death.
Prediction | Fulfilment
----------------------------
Gen. 12:1-3 | Josh 11:23
Gen. 16:10 | Gen. 25:12-16
Gen. 25:21-23 | 1 Chr. 18:13
Gen. 37:5-11 | Gen. 42:6
Gen. 40:12,13 | Gen. 40:21
Gen. 40:18 | Gen. 40:22
Job 19:25-27 | John 5:28,29/Gal. 4:4/Eph. 1:7,11,14
Ps. 2:1-12 | Matt. 3:17/Mark 1:11/Acts 4:25,26/
| Acts 3:33/Hebrews 1:5;5:5/Rev. 2:26,27;19:15,16
Ps. 16:8-10 | Acts 2:27/Acts 13:35/Acts 26:23
Genesis and Joshua were both written hundreds of years AFTER the events (supposedly) happened. That eliminates five of your "examples" straight away. Some of them are quite absurd. Do you really believe that the author of Genesis 40:18 died hundreds of years before the events of Genesis 40:22 ? The verses themselves only cover a period of three days !
Genesis 25:21-23 was also written well after the events that supposedly happened in 1 Chr 18:13. (We may also note numerous problems in the supposed fulfilment).
Job 19:25-27 does not seem to be a prophecy (and it is hard to say how any of the verses could be seen as fulfilment - especially John 5 28-29, which is itself a prediction, not an event).
The Psalms are NOT predictions. And to take them as such is simply nonsensical. (To take verses from the Psalms out of context and read them as predictions is doubly nonsensical).
So this leads to a question. If the Bible really is the word of God then why are you reduced to arguing that the author of Genesis 40:18 died hundreds of years before the event in Genesis 40:22 happened ? Even if you didn't bother to actually read the verses surely you must have seen that they are in the same chapter and only a few verses apart ! I don't blame you - you've placed too much trust in people who are only fallible humans- and more fallible than most.
This is why Christian apologetics can never be trusted. Obvious falsehoods are paraded as facts. I hope you'll learn from this - and ask yourself why it is.
