Bible Prophecy



By YBible



Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done... - Isaiah 46:10

There is proof the Bible is true not just evidence or reasons to believe: undeniable, unavoidable, absolute proof. This proof is prophecy and there are non-greater then the prophecies of Jesus Christ.

Were these prophecies added to the Bible?


Jews & Christians independently kept the Old Testament (Tanakh) and though most Jews rejected Jesus their text is the same today as protestant Christians, besides a different order of the books. Understand according to Jesus most "Christians" have rejected Him also (Matthew 7:22-23)


For a more concise selection of prophecies of Jesus Christ with all the verses in full see “The Messiah” under YJesus.



The Indestructible Words

God promised to preserve His words millennia ago, and His promise is kept to this day (Isa. 40:8). Jesus said none of His words would be lost (Mt. 5:18). Anyone can open a King James Bible and read the very words that “liveth and abideth forever” (1 Pt. 1:23). These also are the words that the world will be judged by one day (Jn. 12:48).



Old Testament: God’s promise

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever - Isaiah 40:8.
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. - Psalms 12:6-7
Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever - Psalm 119:160


New Testament: Jesus’ promise

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. - Matthew 24:35
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled - Matthew 5:18


Four More Prophecies Jesus Made

  1. The destruction of the temple.

And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. - Matthew 24:2

This was fulfilled in AD 70 when Roman armies under Titus destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple. Historical accounts (especially Josephus) describe the Temple being burned and its stones dismantled. Archaeology confirms the thoroughness of the destruction of the Temple structures themselves.



  1. The Gospel would be preached world wide.


Jesus spoke these passages when the only few followers were in Israel.


And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. - Matthew 24:14
…ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. - Acts 1:8


  1. The gentiles (non-Jews) would believe on Him.


Jesus came to the Jewish people first but it would be the gentiles that trusted in His name.


And in his name shall the Gentiles trust. - Matthew 12:21 (Quoting Isaiah 42:6)


  1. Many false Christians & prophets predicted.


Jesus predicted the rise of false teachers and prophets who would pretend to be His followers but instead deceive many.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. - Matthew 7:22-23
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. - Matthew 24:1
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. - Matthew 7:15


Modern Technology Predicted

But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. - Daniel 12:4


Typology

Typology is a form of prophecy in the Bible, these are events, people or objects that God used to foreshadow the future. Listed bellow are just a few of the many types of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament.


  • The sacrifice of Isaac and passover lamb: As Abrahams faith is tested and he is set to sacrifice his son God stops him for “God will provide himself a lamb” - Gen. 22:8. Then in Egypt as the exodus draws nigh the Jews where instructed by God to paint their door frames with the blood of a spotless lamb, the wrath of God would not enter these homes (Ex. 12) Jesus is the Lamb of God sacrificed in our place and the exception to Gods wrath for all those found in Him (Jn. 1:29)

  • The Rock in the wilderness: Struck so water flows; “that Rock was Christ” (1 Corinthians 10:4). This is why Moses is denied entry to the promised land when he strikes the rock twice, Christ is sacrificed once and for all.

  • Jonah: Three days and nights in the fish; just as Jesus spends three days and nights in the heart of the earth. A direct type of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (Matthew 12:40). 

  • The Brazen Serpent: Lifted up on a pole; whoever looks lives. Jesus directly applies this to Himself (Numbers 21:4-9; John 3:14-15).

  • The Tabernacle / Temple / Veil: God dwelling with His people; the veil torn at Christ’s death (Hebrews 9–10; John 2:19-21; Matthew 27:51). Christ is the true Temple.

  • The Sacrificial System and Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16): Spotless lambs, the slain goat and the scapegoat bearing sins away. All point to Christ’s once for all sacrifice (Hebrews 9–10).


For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. - John 5:46


The Restoration of Israel

The Bible is filled with prophecies regarding the future of Israel and the Jewish people. The return of the Jews to their ancestral land and the reestablishment of their nation is nothing short of a miracle, yet all along the Bible said this would happen. Though Israel as a whole did not accept Jesus as their messiah God has a plan to restore them to faith and fulfill His promises to their forefathers. This is confirmed in both the New and Old Testaments. Romans chapter 11 is undeniably clear in this regards, if anyone is teaching about God’s will for Israel but does not cite this chapter they are ignorant at best.



God has not cast them away:

I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. - Romans 11:1-2


Prophecy: Temporary blindness, all Israel will be saved.

For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: - Romans 11:25-26


The modern rebirth of Israel was prophesied throughout the Old Testament:

For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not 
make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished. - Jeremiah 30:11
For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. - Ezekiel 36:24


Israel will see Jesus at the end of the 7 year tribulation (7 year Antichrist peace deal):

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. - Zechariah 12:10

A few more of many verses: Isa. 11:11-12; Jer. 30:3, 31:35-37; Amo. 9:14-15



Two More Fulfilled Prophecies

  1. Tyre’s Multi-Nation Attacks, Scraping Bare, and Causeway


  • Prophecies:  Ezekiel 26:3-12 (esp. v. 3, 4, 12) Attacked by “many nations” like waves; mainland destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar; stones, timber, and rubble cast into the sea; scraped bare like a rock. Written ~587–586 BC.

  • Overview & Fulfillment: Nebuchadnezzar besieged mainland Tyre ~573 BC. Alexander the Great (332 BC) built a causeway using the old city’s rubble (stones/timber/soil) to reach the island fortress, literally scraping the site. Later invasions (Romans, Muslims, Crusaders) completed the destruction. The ancient island city was never rebuilt in the same way. 



  1. Succession of World Empires (Daniel’s Vision)


  • Prophecy:  Daniel 2:31-45 The statue dream: head of gold (Babylon), silver (Medo-Persia), bronze (Greece), iron/clay (Rome), followed by God’s eternal kingdom.

  • Overview & Fulfillment:  Interpreted by Daniel during Babylonian captivity. The sequence matches historical empires precisely: Neo-Babylonian → Medo-Persian (Cyrus, 539 BC) → Greek (Alexander) → Roman. This was written well before later empires rose.
