MAIN POINTS:
- 25% of the Bible is predictive.
- J.B. Payne lists 1,817 prophecies in the Bible.
- At least one half of all biblical predictions have already been fulfilled precisely as God had declared.
- Some examples of Fulfilled Prophecies: The first coming of Christ, Jesus as the Savior of mankind, Prophecies regarding individual people, such as the doom of Jezebel, Prophecies regarding Israel, such as in the case of Israel’s exile to Babylon, The destruction of the temple, which occurred in AD 70, Daniel’s prophecies about the rise and fall of many kingdoms.
- Some examples of Prophecies Still to Be Fulfilled: The second coming of Christ, The rapture of the church, The tribulation, The resurrections of the saved and the unsaved, The millennial reign of Christ, The restoration of Israel, The new heavens and new earth.
- Some prophecies have a double fulfillment
- The amount of prophecy in the Bible is one of the things that make it unique among religious books. There is absolutely no emphasis on predictive prophecy in the Qu’ran or the Hindu Vedas, for example.
- Given God’s omniscience, it should come as no surprise that the Bible contains so many clear predictions or that those predictions are literally fulfilled.
