... and an explanation of their fulfillment?

Here's a very good site. http://biblia.com/jesusbible/prophecies.htm
Prophecies vague? Please do research before you "parrot" such accusations.
George Heron, a French mathematician, calculated that the odds of one man fulfilling only 40 of those prophecies are 1 in 10 to the power of 157. That is a 1 followed by 157 zeros. Christ fulfilled all 300!
Daniel prophesied that EXACTLY 434 years from the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem the messiah would come. The date is known when the walls were rebuilt by secular historians. This leaves an exact date! So that narrows down quit a bit on who the messiah could be. Secondly he had to be born in Bethlehem (narrows it down more) There would be a great slaughter in Bethlehem at the same time (narrows it down even more) and so on and so on.. OVER 300! You couldn't get any more specific!
Danielpau had a good reference also, Chuck Missler has done much research on describing the prophecies. His site is khouse.org

You didn't specify which type of prophecy you are looking for. Nostradamus made some very vague prophecies which could be said to match later events if you read the event into them. They were not specific and his accuracy is very questionable and could be said to be lucky guesses, but his overall accuracy was less than 1%. The same could be said of Edward Cayce, Jeanne Dixon et al.
As far as Biblical prophecy is concerned there is a wealth of resources available. The prophecies concerning the birth, life and death of Jesus have been fulfilled without exception. There are many prophecies that have yet been fulfilled mostly having to do with endtimes. If you enter "eschatology" in your search engine you will find alot of helpful information. I would recommend the writings of Josh McDowell, "A Ready Defence," and Evidence That Demands A Verdict." Also check out Lee Stroubel's series of books: The Case For A Creator, The Case For Faith and The case for Christ.
You could go to www.equip.org , the website of The Christian Research Institute and find more.
God Bless you in your Quest.

One of the best ones I read was the "Complete Idiots Guide to the Bible, Book of Daniel." It was the best explanation of how Daniel 11-12 was fulfilled by the intertestimental politics between the Seleucid and Ptolomaic dynasties. Soap opera stuff, but so detailed in Daniel's prophecy that folks began there to claim the Bible was written after the fact instead of before. (Personally, one of the best proofs that Daniel was written before was the fact that Jerusalem was one of the few cities that Alexander did NOT sack and level. He showed up and the rabbis met him at the gate with the Book of Daniel and said, "We've been waiting for you."
Another good one is "Cosmic Codes" by Chuck Missler.
I had a very informative time going thru Barnes' notes on the New Testament. That's Albert Barnes. There are three levels of interpreting the Book of Revelation: church history, 7-year tribulation, and political history. In some ways, all three can apply. Barnes showed how the judgments were fulfilled by simple political history up to when he was living in the early 19th century. I'd never heard that before, but he did a very good job making his case.
Start with those three.

There is a Bible called the Propecy Bible. It's a KJV and it's just a study within the Bible on Prophecy. It rocks! It's Edited by Grant R Jeffery(in other words he does the study inside the Bible on the bottom of the pages explaining the verses, the bible is not changed in any way.). I think you would get A LOT of questions answered from it, plus there is a list of prophecies that have been fufilled. If you want to know about stuff being fufilled now you can go to

Fulfilling a prophecy is easy because they're so vague, and any one of them can apply to multiple things. If you really want a list, with detailed explanations, and even preditions for the future, one resource would be the People's Almanac, written by David Wallechinski and Irving Wallace. It was written in the 1970's though, and may be hard to find.
It's neat though, because you can see how many 1970's predictions about the future were wrong (hint: so far, all of them).

I'm not sure which prophecies you're referring to but here is a link that will take to you fulfilled prophecies of Nostradamus.

there are no fulfilled prophecies, prophecy is vague and subjective. Just look at one of the BIGGEST and most widely accepted prophecies. People think that Nostradamus predicted the rise of Hitler...He actually talked about HiSter, a river.
If there were any true prophecies that could be proven as true predictions, then the entire world would be accepting that psychics have real powers instead of laughing in their faces.

Who's prophecies? Gods? Nostradamus? Miss Cleo?
For God's, start at the beginning of the bible and work your way forward. It's astounding how many of His come true. Right now, it's at right about 100%.
For anyone else, google baby!
