Prophetic Evidence

Prophecy

Revelation of God, an historical fact made in advance, beyond the scope of any human capability.

God’s Word – over 2000 predictive prophecies. They are detailed, not vague.

Isaiah 41:21-23
“Present your case,” the LORD says. “Bring forward your strong arguments,” The King of Jacob says. Let them bring forth and declare to us what is going to take place; As for the former events, declare what they were, that we may consider them and know their outcome. Or announce to us what is coming; declare the things that are going to come afterward, that we may know that you are gods.

The Bible is FULL of declarations of what is ‘going to take place’!

Below is a small sample of Biblical prophecies. The ones listed have been fullfilled already. There are many others that could be listed that will be fulfilled in the future. If God’s track record is 100% so far, we can have unwavering confidence that any prophecy yet to be fulfilled is guaranteed to happen!

The list below was taken from two different Bible programs in the 1990’s, one of which was Quickverse.
