There are books available that disucss the prophecies verse by verse in Isaiah and Daniel and Revelation that have already come true and also the ones about to come true. The 'What does the Bible Really Teach' book discusses prophecy that is soon to be fulfilled.

In the book of Daniel there are a few about the world powers that are to come. Babylon, Syria, Persia, Greece and Rome. Those are just our interpretations. Prophecies are usually symbolic.
Joseph prophecied that his brothers would bow down to him and they did. That one was in the form of a dream. Also the interpreted the king's dream that 7 years of plenty then 7 years of famine were coming... and they did.
Lots of prophecies about the coming Messiah and they were fulfilled in Jesus - the virgin birth, came from Egypt and from Nazareth, and born in Bethlehem.....

After prophecying the destruction of Babylon (Isaiah 13:19), the Bible provides an add-on.
It says Babylon would never be rebuilt. (Isaiah 13:20).
It never has, even though some powerful people of history have tried.
Even Sadam Hussein had plans, but they've always been foiled.
Have you ever read Matthew 24:14?
There is a group going about these days and that is there theme.

I saw a show about the Bible Code and it was amazing the stuff that was found but no one can crack the code. Only events that happened could be found.
The skeptics pointed out that as many 'prophecies' could be fond about British events in Moby Dick. I went away amazed that either book happened to have 'codes' about future (mostly political) events.

Except that it doesn't.
At least be fair. When christians come on here and spam you with websites about fulfilled prophecies at least slow down long enough to read the other side. Fair people read both sides.
Here is a website that debunk what they're about to spam at you :)

If by coming events you mean Armageddon or Christ returning then yes.
The bible is a book of stories with morals and meanings. The best way to learn about the bible or anything for that matter is to actually read it.

Sure...
Micah 5,2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. - Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem..it was foretold that He will be born there
Joel2, 28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29. And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. - Pentecost was prophecied..and it happened.
Psalms 22 speaks about how someone is in a miserable situation AND in this psalm it's prophecied, that Jesus will be crucified, and that his enemies will "cast lots upon his vesture."
- and indeed it happened
Well, at this moment these are the ones that jump into my mind, but there are a lot more prophecies.
God bless ya

There are none. Ever since the bible was written humans (who believed in it) have sought to find answers to life, the universe and everything, within its pages. You might as well find the meaning of life in the NYC phonebook.

well, that;s nonsense, and you've actually stumbled upon another fatal flaw in the logic of the bible (or, lack of logic, actually).
if it was predicted by a god that knows all, none of it would be wrong -- but, we know THAT isn't the case.
just more nonsense.
