The Art of Prophecy

A Gallery of Bible Prophecy Engravings

Across the centuries, the prophecies of Scripture have been rendered in art. This gallery gathers the illustrations that accompany Bible Prophecy Explorer — from Daniel in the lions’ den to the New Jerusalem — each paired with the passage it depicts.

Most are classic wood engravings by Gustave Doré (1832–1883), from La Grande Bible de Tours (1866), now in the public domain. The Resurrection plate is an original AI-generated illustration created for this site and labelled as such.

Scenes span the whole prophetic arc — the Old Testament prophets, the life and Passion of Christ, Pentecost and the birth of the Church, and the visions of the end in Revelation.
