PROPHECIES IN THE BIBLE:

Sponsored link.

Overview:

Prophecies are predictions of future events. There are literally hundreds of them scattered throughout the Bible. Two books:  Daniel from the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) and Revelation from the Christian Scriptures (New Testament) are perhaps the most important prophetic books in the Bible.  

There is no consensus about the accuracy of Bible prophecies:

The gap between these two positions appears unbridgeable. 

Future plans:

This is an important topic that we will try to examine in depth. Josh McDowell has written that 61 prophecies in the Hebrew Scriptures were fulfilled in the life of Jesus. ₃ Campus Crusade for Christ estimates over 300. ₄ We would like to describe many of these  from both the conservative and the liberal / skeptical point of view. There are hundreds of other prophecies in the Hebrew Scriptures that are not directly related to the life of Jesus. We hope to cover the most important ones here as well.
