No, it does not. The Bible does not contain any reference to 'the Bible' as it didn't exist at the time the various books were written. Methinks you should be a bit more careful before throwing around accusations of 'daft'ness.
I would have to leave a pub if you turned up and started going on and on about things people know, but things which you think are new.

The Bible contains references to both "books" and "Scriptures".
It mentioned "the prophetic writings."
"Which He [God] promised beforehand through His prophets in the holy Scriptures," (Rom 1:2)
The readers knew that he meant the Jewish Bible.
And Jesus said "Scripture cannot be broken" to a crowd of Jews who knew that He was talking about their Bible.

This is daft. You have not read the Bible.

Why dont you get with the Program and read up b4 you make daft posts in Forums

I am continually looking to the Spirit of Jesus to save me from being a religious person.
He is very good at saving people from religion into reality.
God speaks today still. He speaks though based upon what He has already said.
Sometimes if He notices that you will not receive His light from words spoken in the completed canon of the Bible He may not waste speaking to you additional words.
You see the words He gave you you may ignore.
This ignoring what HAS been spoken already, just may hinder you from receiving fresh light and truth though He would WANT to speak more to you.
There is no need to complain that there are no other books from God beyond Revelation.
There is need to open our hearts to the words from God we have in the 39 Old Testament and 27 New Testament books of the Bible.
It is an adventure to have His fresh speaking in a most intimate and personal way, which is uncanny. But it will not contradict what He has said in the Bible. It may illuminate with more penetrating light what He HAS said in the Bible.
Have a blast playing darts.

So to be interested in what this Bible says is not to be a normal person ?
A normal person would be apathetic about what is in the Bible ?

Why would a deity inspire people of ancient times to write books about religious subjects and then all of a sudden stop, nothing inspired by a god today? I am sure there are plenty of books people THINK are god inspired but just coming strictly out of their imagination.

This is daft. Since the Bible fully and straightforwardly explains God's will, contains no conflicting or contradictory passages and everyone who has ever read it is in complete agreement as to its meaning, why would there be a need for God to inspire people to write additional books about religious subjects?
The scrolls were canonized in the 4c CE. The issue is closed; no new 'books' will be added to the Bible. The Bible is a snapshot, frozen in time. This does not mean that the revelation of God's will for man has ceased. God's will for man continues to be revealed in other forms. It is typical of Protestants, however, and of people ill-informed about mainstream Christian doctrine, to think that only what is in the Bible is Christianity.

So all the books written after that WAS 'Scripture broken'. As spoken by Jesus himself.
It looks clear Jesus would not have approved any of the NT. His words say that much very clearly.
