Could a Christian please give a detailed list of biblical prophecies that have been fulfilled up to present ?

Question

the following question has just been asked a few minutes ago by Kevin J

How can atheists "toss aside" the many fulfilled prophecies in the Bible, which point to God's authorship?
The Bible is full of prophecies about Jesus' ministry, the fulfillment of God's promises and even the fulfillment of historical events. Only God could predict the future and guide history. Man can not even properly predict what will happen next month or next year. How can atheists ignore this?

He gives not one concrete example. Could somebody be kind enough to maake a detailed list of prophecies with quotations and then how exactly they have been fulfilled.

Apparently there should be quite a lot.

I am especially interested in those which have been fulfilled since the final writing of the bible and today.

Thank you.

And please, real specific prophesies not the vague " Nostradamus " type stuff that could be interpreted any number of ways.

aftwine, thank you but all of your biblical prophecies were fulfilled in the bible itself and cannot be independently verfied.

You are using the bible to prove the bible.

This should help.

Answer 2

Jesus fulfilled all those prophecies about a messiah.

But, it's kind of odd that Hebrews were so stupid they didn't know what they had prophesied until Constantine's Nicene Council interpreted those prophecies for them.

And, what's even more amazing, they continue to reject those "prophecies" to this day.


Amazing how a guy who didn't exist fulfilled Hebrew prophecies:

It's easy to write a story about a guy who fulfills prophecy when you make the whole thing up.


No, the Jesus story is a myth, Jesus did not fulfill any prophecies. If he had, he would be sitting on a throne in Jerusalem and the world would be at peace.

Your "prophecies" ignore those that claim he will be a Jewish king sitting on the throne of David, ruling over a peaceful world.

Isaiah 9:

6: "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
7: "Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this."

KJV bible

It's also easy to fulfill "prophecy" when you pick and choose which parts of a "prophecy" is fulfilled.


The bible doesn't even support the idea that prophecies have been fulfilled unless one careful chooses which parts of the alleged "prophecy" he is claiming is fulfilled.

Christianity is based on lies and is promoted by liars. And the ignorant and gullible are their victims.

Answer 4

You are requesting a detailed list of prophecies, their scripture citations and their fulfillment. You said that apparently there should be quite a lot. There are. This forum is far too restrictive to allow the cataloguing of such an exhaustive list.

Answer 5

My personal belief is that the bible is the biggest piece of propaganda that has ever been written. If you know how to listen to your conscience, then you don't need some guy who studies the book of propaganda to tell you what to do. It's about time for people in this world to start thinking for themselves instead of all these fascist dictators telling them how to live.

Answer 6

Funny how you asked about people not beliving in them, only to discover that you dont knkow any of them anyway! You were really blind enough to belive in somthing taht you had not a clue about!!! You really are ignorant. This is the power of religion, you get someone to belive anything! You did not even know of any, and yet you were defending them. Please do some reasearch that does not include asking liars.

Answer 7

good luck with that one - I'm opting for the Nostradamus type vague predictions not to be interpreted until after the fact. - but good question - I'll be watching this one too.

let's be on the lookout for after the fact hogwash. just in case.

Answer 8

From what I understand the bible has been very susceptible to the pen of man -- human corruption, intervention, etc.

Answer 9

stars falling, sign in moon and stars, false propher, war, rumor of war, carnal nature of man, much more

Answer 10

Here's the prophesies that have NOT been fulfilled...

First of all, he must be Jewish - "...you may appoint a king over you, whom the L-rd your G-d shall choose: one from among your brethren shall you set as king over you." (Deuteronomy 17:15)

He must be a member of the tribe of Judah - "The staff shall not depart from Judah, nor the sceptre from between his feet..." (Genesis 49:10)

To be a member of the tribe of Judah, the person must have a biological father who is a member of the tribe of Judah.

He must be a direct male descendant of King David and King Solomon, his son - "And when your days (David) are fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who shall issue from your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for my name, and I will make firm the throne of his kingdom forever..." (2 Samuel 7:12 - 13)

The genealogy of the New Testament is inconsistent. While it gives two accounts of the genealogy of Joseph, it states clearly that he is not the biological father of Jesus. One of the genealogies is through Nathan and not Solomon altogether!

He must gather the Jewish people from exile and return them to Israel -"And he shall set up a banner for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth." (Isaiah 11:12)

Are all Jews living in Israel? Have all Jews EVER lived in Israel since the time of Jesus?

He must rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem - "...and I will set my sanctuary in their midst forever and my tabernacle shall be with them.." (Ezekiel 37:26 - 27)

At last check, there is NO Temple in Jerusalem. And worse, it was shortly after Jesus died that the Temple was DESTROYED! Just the opposite of this prophecy!

He will rule at a time of world-wide peace - "...they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore." (Micah 4:3)

Have you seen a newspaper lately? Are we living in a state of complete world peace? Has there ever been peace since the time of Jesus?

He will rule at a time when the Jewish people will observe G-d's commandments - "My servant David shall be king over them; and they shall all have one shepherd. They shall follow My ordinances and be careful to observe My statutes." (Ezekiel 37:24)

The Torah is the Jewish guide to life, and its commandments are the ones referred to here. Do all Jews observe all the commandments? Christianity, in fact, often discourages observance of the commandments in Torah, in complete opposition to this prophecy.

He will rule at a time when all people will come to acknowledge and serve one G-d - "And it shall come to pass that from one new moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before Me, says the L-rd" (Isaiah 66:23)

there are still millions if not billions of people in the world today who adhere to paganistic and polytheistic religions. It is clear that we have not yet seen this period of human history unfold.

All of these criteria are best stated in the book of Ezekiel Chapter 37 verses 24-28:

And David my servant shall be king over them; and they shall all have one shepherd. they shall also follow My judgments and observe My statutes, and do them. And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Yaakov my servant, in which your fathers have dwelt and they shall dwell there, they and their children, and their children's children forever; and my servant David shall be their prince forever. Moreover, I will make a covenant of peace with them, it shall be an everlasting covenant with them, which I will give them; and I will multiply them and I will set my sanctuary in the midst of them forevermore. And my tabernacle shall be with them: and I will be their G-d and they will be my people. Then the nations shall know that I am the L-rd who sanctifies Israel, when My sanctuary will be in the midst of them forevermore.

If an individual fails to fulfill even one of these conditions, then he cannot be "The Messiah." A careful analysis of these criteria shows us that to date, no one has fulfilled every condition.

Certainly NOT Jesus.
