The following is Bible Prophecy that has already been fulfilled. The reason for this thread is to show that there is no way that unless God touched and as an integral part of the Bible, that these men/women would of been able to write what they did.

Now of course this is totally up for others views, for or against.

Genesis 15:5
He took him outside and said, "Look up at the heavens and count the stars--if indeed you can count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be."

Counting Abraham's descendants would be like counting the stars
Bible passage: Genesis 15:5
Prophet: Abraham
Written: perhaps 1400 BC
Fulfilled: Throughout history

In Genesis 15:5, the Bible said that Abraham would have many descendants and that counting them would be like counting the stars. The fulfillment of this prophecy is obvious. In fact it is so obvious that it can be easily overlooked:

Abraham is the only person revered by large numbers of people throughout world as being their ancestor.

He is the father of the Jewish people, as explained in the book of Genesis, through his son Isaac, and through Isaac's son.

Christians become descendants of Abraham through faith (Galatians 3:29), just as Abraham became the father of many nations through faith (Genesis chapters 12-17; Romans 4:18).

And many other peoples count themselves as descendants of Abraham, through his son Ishmael.

It also should be noted that the first part of his name, "Ab," means "father," and that his name was changed by God. The reason for the change is explained in Genesis 17:5, for which the NIV translation is: No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.


Daniel 2:32-33
The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze,33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay.

Daniel predicted the four great kingdoms
Bible passage: Daniel 2:32-33
Prophet: Daniel
Written: about 530 BC
Fulfilled: Throughout history; to be completed during End Times

In Daniel 2:32-33, there is a passage that symbolically identified the four great kingdoms that would rise up and control much of world, beginning in Daniel's lifetime. The passage uses symbolic imagery:

1. The head of gold, as Daniel explained, refers to the Babylonian empire that ruled much of the world about 2600 years ago.

2. Daniel said that the head-of-gold empire would be followed by an empire symbolized by arms of silver. This refers to the Medo-Persian empire which later conquered the Babylonian empire. The scholars say that the two arms refer to the two groups - the Medes and the Persians - who comprised the Medo-Persian empire.

3. The third kingdom was symbolized by the statue's belly and thighs of brass. This is a reference to the Grecian empire, which conquered the Medo-Persian empire. The symbol of a belly and thighs of brass suggests that the kingdom was to start out as a united empire but end up as a divided empire. Under the leadership of Alexander the Great, the Grecian Empire was a united empire. But after Alexander's death, the empire was divided into four parts and was later reduced to two parts.

4. The fourth symbol - that of iron legs and feet that were part iron and part clay - has often been suggested to be a reference to the Roman Empire, which later conquered the Grecian Empire. The Roman Empire was very powerful, but it was also very diverse, claiming dominion over a wide variety of different nations. That diversity later contributed to the downfall of the empire.

These four kingdoms ruled over much of the world, and each of the four ruled over the land of Israel during times in which a significant number of Jews - and perhaps a majority of Jews - were living in their homeland. Before the collapse of the Roman Empire, Jerusalem was destroyed and hundreds of thousands of Jews were forced into exile. Even today, a majority of Jews still live outside of Israel. Many Christian scholars suggest that the Roman Empire will be revived and will once again seek to control Israel.


Daniel 9:24-26


"Seventy `sevens'[1] are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish[2] transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy.[3]25

"Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decree[4] to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One,[5] the ruler, comes, there will be seven `sevens,' and sixty-two `sevens.' It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble.

After the sixty-two `sevens,' the Anointed One will be cut off and will have nothing.[6] The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed.

NIV Footnotes: [1] Or `weeks'; also in verses 25 and 26
[2] Or restrain
[3] Or Most Holy Place; or most holy One
[4] Or word
[5] Or an anointed one; also in verse 26
[6] Or off and will have no one; or off, but not for himself

(New International Version translation)

Daniel predicted when an anointed one would be rejected
Bible passage: Daniel 9:24-26
Prophet: Daniel
Written: about 530 BC
Fulfilled: About 33 AD

The prophet Daniel was a Jew who lived during the time of the Babylonian Captivity, about 500 years before the birth of Jesus. During Daniel's lifetime, the Babylonians had destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple and had taken many Jews as captives to Babylon. Daniel, while in Babylon, delivered a prophecy of what would happen during the centuries that followed. Here is our summary of Daniel 9:24-26:

1. There would be a decree to rebuild Jerusalem.
2. Jerusalem and the Temple would be rebuilt.
3. Then an anointed one (messiah) would be "cut off" (an idiom for "rejected" or "killed").
4. Then Jerusalem and the Temple would be destroyed again.

All of these events later happened, in the same order in which they are described in Daniel 9:24-26:

1. After the Medo-Persians had conquered the neo-Babylonian empire about 2500 years ago, they ruled a vast empire that included the land of Israel. About 2400 years ago (about 445 BC), Persian king Artaxerxes gave permission to the Jews to rebuild Jerusalem, which was still in ruins after having been destroyed earlier by the Babylonians.
2. The Jews rebuilt the Temple and the city of Jerusalem.
3. Then, about 2000 years ago, Jesus entered Jerusalem as the Messiah who had been promised by Old Testament prophets. But, many people rejected Jesus as the Messiah and He was crucified by the Romans.
4. About 40 years after Jesus was crucified, the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple. (The Temple has not been rebuilt since then).


Isaiah 42:1-9

"Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations.

He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets.

A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;

he will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his law the islands will put their hope."

This is what God the LORD says-- he who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it:

"I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles,

to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.

"I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols.

See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you."

(New International Version translation)

Jesus' life was foreshadowed by the prophet Isaiah
Bible passage: Isaiah 42:1-9
Prophet: Isaiah
Written: perhaps between 701-681 BC
Fulfilled: About 2000 years ago

In Isaiah 42:1-9, the prophet Isaiah speaks of a servant of God who will be a light to the Gentiles (non-Jews) and bring justice to the world. Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of this promise. Jesus' teachings govern the lives of Christians throughout the world. Some estimates claim that there are as many as 2 billion Christians worldwide. More people follow the teachings of Jesus than those of any other person in history.

I would have to say for anyone who is still searching and looking for where they fit, and/or interested in reading the Bible should read Isaiah first....Its probably my most fav book.



Here are just a few....I will be adding more later.

FOR THE SKEPTICS!!!!

So that we don't fall off our horses, let us accept what is meant by the term 'prophesy'.:wink:

Revelations 19 : 10.

And I fell at his feet worship him. And he said unto me, see thou do it not : I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus : worship God :for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophesy.

A lot of the prophecies in the bible are self fulfilling, meaning that what was foretold was bound to happen, like empires coming and going, floods, destruction of certain things, just history repeating itself. And if you watch closely, it's still happening, there was nothing special about it. Therefore I wouldn't count them as prophecies, just a perfect guess on history repeating itself.

Isaiah 42:1-9

"Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations.

He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets.

A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;

he will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his law the islands will put their hope."

This is what God the LORD says-- he who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it:

"I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles,

to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.

"I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols.

See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you."


OK so let me get this straight, Daniel predicted the 4 great kingdoms around 530 BC and to be fulfilled throught history and be completed in end times. The Babylonians were during Daniel's time. Next was the Medo-Persian empire followed by the Grecian empire, and then into the Roman empire. These 4 "great kingdoms" take place over the next 600 years after Daniel predicted them.

Next he predicts the anointed one, Jesus, and predicts his rejection and death. OK now from what I pick up as well, he predicted that Jesus' death was the start of the end times. Well so far it's been what, 1974 years since Jesus' death. So I really don't get what's being said here as far as prophesy being fulfilled, when we're still here 1974 years later.

As well let me ask this. If you believe in prophesy and people predicting the future, then do you believe all life and everything we "live" for was set out in a straight line from the start of man? Meaning no matter what we do now, it really won't effect the future because it's all predetermined anyway.

To Illusion,


There is one prophesy yet unfulfilled for my, as yet unborn to my children, grandchildren to see fulfilled in THEIR lifetime and it is found at the end of the book that WAS written for them as well.

Revelations 22: 12 .

" And , behold , I come quickly ; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be."

Revelations 22 : 13 .

" I am Alpha and Omega , the beginning and the end , the first and the last .





a little footnote that fits.......

Luke 13 : 30 .

" And behold , there are last which shall be first , and there are first which shall be last."

this generation means the generation of truth as depicted by Christ's teachings.


I'm not supposed to make it easy for you,

just make you aware of the need to explore the writings for yourself.

It is not difficult, just time consuming.

Yes history does repeat itself, and yes you could call that self fulfil prophecy. But what makes this different is that it is impossible for the Devine One to fulfill all the prophecies that He did. Also you can take what Harrod the kind did by killing all the first born sons....But you can't make that happen.

sure you can. You only have to make your prophecy public, and every single person will act accordingly. It's so simple.

Reading yesterday's astrology is no different for me, than reading the bible... I can 'create' proof, in any way the words are written.

Then decide the predictions were so uncannily right, that I get hooked on reading every astrology forecast in every paper known to mankind.

One can find 'proof' in hindsight easily.

Give me foresight any day.

How do you figure invisible.....When Harrod said to kill all the first born sons.....and Christ said to annoit every Christian to place the blood on every door, it was done. Now you can't possible say that all the rest of the people wanted their first born son to die.....But Pharoah was stuburn and didn't believe Moses. And Pharoah's son died and he let the people go......Moses told of all of the plagues before they happen.....How could that be?

So abra, then you know enough to also remember that Jesus met Paul on the road to Damascus, and gave him the indwelling of Himself to teach and explain the Old Testament's meaning like no other : he, himself, being among the wisest and best read minds of his time concerning the ancient and obscured scriptures.

Paul taught te meaning of the generation, in that generation, as the simple uneducated Apostles could not ; to mean....

Ephesians 2 : 7 .

That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

I age within my generation, how about you?:wink:
