Can anyone cite SPECIFIC prophecies in The Bible that have been fulfilled?

Question

Note the word "specific". I'm looking for the EXACT prophecy and when it came true. Thanks.

Answer 1

Isaiah 9:5-7---"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, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this." (the birth of Jesus 2 B.C.E)

Isaiah 44:28--"That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure, even saying of Jerusalem, She shall be built; and of the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid." (foretold the rebuilding of Jerusalem after her destruction by Babylon. Cyrus had not yet been born when Isaiah wrote this prophecy)

Jeremiah 49:17-18--"And Edom shall become an astonishment: every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof. As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof, saith Jehovah, no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man sojourn therein."
Jeremiah's recording of prophecies was completed by the 5th century B.C.E. He foretold the destruction of Edom.
(The Wikipedia says this regarding Edom: " The nation of Edom is known to have existed back to the 8th or 9th Century BCE, and the Bible dates it back several centuries further. Recent archeological evidence may indicate an Edomite nation as long ago as the 11th Century BCE, but the topic is controversial. The nation ceased to exist with the Jewish-Roman Wars.

Luke 19:41-44 & 21:20-21--"And when he(Jesus) drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it, saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation." --" But when ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand. Then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains; and let them that are in the midst of her depart out; and let not them that are in the country enter therein." (Jesus, in the year 33 C.E. foretold the 2nd destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 C.E.)
The wikipedia states regarding this: "The Siege of Jerusalem in the year 70 was a decisive event in the First Jewish-Roman War, followed by the fall of Masada in 73. The Roman army, led by later Emperor Titus, sieged and conquered the city of Jerusalem, which had been occupied by Jewish rebels in 66.

Matthew 24:14--"And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come."( Jehovah's Witnesses are fulfilling that prophecy by preaching about God's Kingdom in 235 lands and will continue to do so until the end of this wicked system.)

There are many more--some in Revelation that have already happened and some soon will happen.

I hope this helps you to see that " Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness." 2 Tim 3:16-17

Answer 2

This is an interesting list and I would agree that these prophecies have been or are in the process of fulfillement. However, I must point out that some of the scriptures quoted are incorrect. I have not read them all so there may be more. In number 2 you have referenced 1 John 3:18, this should be 1 John 3:8. Wow, stop right there. I was about to say that you had used the same scripture for several prophecies and they did not make sense but then I have just read them again and I can see it! NUmbers 321,322 and 323 are now really clear to me, as are 324, 326 and 327. I'm gonna have to go away and read ALL of them now. Thank you. Lord, bring on the last prophecy!!!

Answer 3

Let's start by saying that Jesus fufilled over 100 Prophecy's concerning his own life which the the prophets before had spoken to the children of Isreal concerning the Mesiah.
If you want a recent event how about 9-11, this was spoken about in the book of Isiah:The scriputure says "And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall." Notice the scripture says towers (plural)
You must be born again to see and or understand the things pertaining to the kingdon of God. God Bless

Answer 4

The Decline of the Earth’s Environment -


We are witnessing a prophetic fulfillment of the Bible, the decline of the earth’s environment and resources.

We are witnessing the Fourth SEAL. One-fourth part of the earth is to be destroyed before we move forward to the next Seal events (Re.6:7-8).

The earth is on a downhill slid from which it will not recover. The first four Trumpet events will destroy an additional one-third (Re.8:7-12).

Answer 5

All the prophecies in the Bible have been fulfilled.

Isaiah: "And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that Day."

These prophecis were fulfilled in 1844.

"The time foreordained unto the peoples and kindreds of the earth is now come. The promises of God, as recorded in the holy Scriptures, have all been fulfilled. Out of Zion hath gone forth the Law of God, and Jerusalem, and the hills and land thereof, are filled with the glory of His Revelation. Happy is the man that pondereth in his heart that which hath been revealed in the Books of God, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting. Meditate upon this, O ye beloved of God, and let your ears be attentive unto His Word, so that ye may, by His grace and mercy, drink your fill from the crystal waters of constancy, and become as steadfast and immovable as the mountain in His Cause.
In the Book of Isaiah it is written: "Enter into the rock and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty." No man that meditateth upon this verse can fail to recognize the greatess of this Cause, or doubt the exalted character of this Day - the Day of God Himself. This same verse is followed by these words: "And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that Day." This is the Day which the Pen of the Most High hath glorified in all the holy Scriptures. There is no verse in them that doth not declare the glory of His holy Name, and no Book that doth not testify unto the loftiness of this most exalted theme. ..."

Answer 6

All the prophecies in the Old Testament have been fulfilled and proved in the religious history with the advent of Christ.
All the prophecies of Christ in the New Testament must be naturally fulfilled with His second advent.
But who really study and truthfully believe in this reality?

Answer 7

Yeah...give me a moment...

OK: First of all, all of the prophecies about Christ. There were too many to site them all, but I'll give you a few:

1. He would be a descendant of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
2. His bones would not be broken when He was crucified.
3. He would be born of a virgin.
4. He would ride into Jerusalem on a donkey.
5. He would be called out of Egypt.
6. He would be descended from David.
7. He would be buried in a borrowed tomb.
8. He would rise again after three days.

1. He was a Jew, and Jews were descended from those three.

2. When a person was crucified, he would suffocate because of the way he was hanging, and he'd have to push up on the nail through his feet to breathe. When he grew too tired, he'd die of suffocation. When the soldiers wanted to make sure that someone was dead, they'd break their legs so that they couldn't breathe anymore. With Jesus, the soldiers saw that He was already dead, and they pierced His side instead of breaking His bones.

3. Enough said about this one. You won't believe it anyway.

4. He did. He took someones donkey and rode through Jerusalem on it.

5. He was taken to Egypt as a child to escape from Herod, who was trying to kill Him. He came out of Egypt some years later.

6. Mary was a descendent of David.

7. When He died, He was buried in Joseph of Arimathea's tomb, not one paid for by His family.

8. Enough said here as well. It happened, but you won't believe.



There have been other prophecies, but that's enough for now.

Answer 8

I can think of a number of prophecies which have been fulfilled, and are easy to verify. For example, the march of world powers described in Daniel chapter 8.

There are many others as well.

But here is one most people think is for the future: Isaiah 2:2-4. However, in all actuality it is being fulfilled NOW! It reads:
"And it must occur in the final part of the days that the mountain of the house of Jehovah will become firmly established above the top of the mountains, and it will certainly be lifted up above the hills; and to it all the nations must stream. And many peoples will certainly go and say: “Come, you people, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will instruct us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For out of Zion law will go forth, and the word of Jehovah out of Jerusalem. And he will certainly render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore."

How, you may wonder, can I say this is being fulfilled now? The world is filled with wars!

Note it said that this would be in the final part of the days. Also notice that it was to be among people from all nations that were trying to learn God's will and to do it.

There is an international association of Christians who really have beat there weapons of war into instruments of peace, on a global scale. The have love for all their fellow believers, regardless of nationality or ethnic background, even when there is terrible conflicts between others of these opposing groups. They are even willing to die for one another. This is a fulfillment of another prophecy as well, one that Jesus gave.
"I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another.  By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.” - John 13:34, 35.

He goes on to say in John 15:12, 13:
"This is my commandment, that you love one another just as I have loved you. No one has love greater than this, that someone should surrender his soul in behalf of his friends.

WHo is fulfilling these amazing prophecies? The evidence points to the Christian Witnesses of Jehovah God.

Answer 9

In Isaiah 32 he talks of Christ the righteous king same in 42. And in Isaiah40 it speaks of John the Baptist and his mission. There are plenty of places in the Bible where prophecies have been fulfilled all you have to do read the Bible.

Answer 10

Answer 11

Well if I knew of an old prophecy and then I made it come true then did someone predict this or did I just read it and then make it come true....?
