✝ Bible Prophecy Explorer

What’s here

The site has more in it than the front page shows. This is the whole thing on one screen, so you can go straight to the part you want.

Start with one prophecy

If you only read one page, read one of these. Each takes a single prophecy all the way down — the King James text, the fulfillment, how different traditions read it, and the strongest objection stated fairly.

Isaiah 53 — the suffering servant

Written some 700 years early. Includes the strongest Jewish objection — that the servant is Israel, not a man — and answers it.

Psalm 22 — the crucifixion psalm

David describes a death by crucifixion a thousand years before the Romans invented it. Includes the textual dispute over “pierced.”

What did Jesus read in Nazareth?

Luke 4 quotes Isaiah 61 with a clause the Hebrew verse does not contain. Where “recovering of sight to the blind” comes from, and what it does — and does not — mean.

Daniel’s seventy weeks

The arithmetic worked through step by step — where the clock starts, where it lands, and which part is genuinely debated.

Isaiah 7:14 — the virgin birth

“A virgin shall conceive.” The Hebrew word, the Greek translation, and what the sign meant in its own century.

Micah 5:2 — Bethlehem

The birthplace named seven centuries early, and the claim in the same verse that his goings forth were from everlasting.

Zechariah 9:9 — the triumphal entry

A king entering Jerusalem on a donkey, and what Palm Sunday looked like against the text.

Is Jesus the Messiah?

The cumulative case, the honest objections, and the two-advent answer. Start here if you want the whole argument at once.

Messianic prophecies — the overview

Birth, ministry, suffering, death, resurrection, in tables. The map of the portrait before you study the pieces.

The 144,000

Revelation 7 and 14, with the three main readings set side by side.

The mark of the beast and 666

Revelation 13, the historic interpretations, and what the number has meant to different centuries.

The Antichrist in the Old Testament

Thirty-plus Old Testament titles for the coming man of sin — the Assyrian, the little horn, the king of Babylon, the wicked one — with references, read as types and shadows.

The two witnesses

Revelation 11 — Moses and Elijah, Enoch and Elijah, or the church itself. All three positions.

How many prophecies did Jesus fulfill?

The range of counts, the famous long-odds argument with honest caveats, the strongest cases, and the objections.

The prophecies of Jesus

The predictions Jesus Himself made — His death and resurrection, the temple’s fall, Peter’s denials, Pentecost, His return — what came true, and what is still ahead.

The Olivet Discourse

Matthew 24 — Jesus’ own prophecy of the end: the signs, the four horsemen parallel, the tribulation, His return, and the AD 70 vs future debate. The hub for the end-times studies.

John the Baptist

The forerunner foretold — the voice in the wilderness (Isaiah 40:3), the messenger (Malachi 3:1), the Elijah to come — and what John himself prophesied of the Lamb.

The prophecies of David

The prophet-king who sang the cross — the crucifixion (Psalm 22), the resurrection (Psalm 16), the exaltation (Psalm 110) — and whether he knew the Messiah would come from his line.

Gethsemane

The cup of wrath foretold by the prophets, the smitten shepherd of Zechariah 13:7 fulfilled that night, and what “not my will, but thine” means.

Pentecost

Joel 2:28 poured out — “this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel” — with Isaiah 44:3 and Ezekiel 36:26, and Peter’s answer, Acts 2:38.

The New Jerusalem

Revelation 21-22 — a new heaven and new earth, God dwelling with His people, every tear wiped away, and no temple for God and the Lamb are its temple.

Isaiah 9:6

“Unto us a child is born” — The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace: the divine names of the Messiah, and a cornerstone of the Oneness reading.

Daniel 7

The four beasts, the Ancient of Days, and one like the Son of man given everlasting dominion — the title Jesus took for Himself.

The times of the Gentiles

Jerusalem trodden down (Luke 21:24) and Israel hardened until the fulness of the Gentiles (Romans 11:25) — the two “untils” that frame this age.

Who quotes Isaiah in the New Testament?

Eight New Testament writers plus Jesus himself — the most-quoted prophet, listed by author.

Israel in Bible prophecy

Scattering, regathering, and the honest debate over 1948 — every reading named.

Fulfilled city prophecies

Tyre, Nineveh, and Babylon — foretold in detail, then tested by history and the spade.

Gog and Magog

Ezekiel 38-39 — the northern coalition, God’s deliverance, and why confident modern identifications are unwise.

The two advents

Why the Messiah comes twice — the suffering prophecies and the reigning ones, and the answer to the oldest objection.

Nebuchadnezzar’s dream

Daniel 2 — the statue of gold, silver, bronze and iron, the four kingdoms, and the stone that fills the earth.

The seven churches

Revelation 2-3 — Christ’s seven letters, the promises to the overcomer, and the main readings of the seven churches.

The Transfiguration

Matthew 17 — the fulfillment of “some standing here shall not taste of death,” a preview of the Second Coming, and the glory of the one God unveiled in Christ.

The art of prophecy

Gustave Doré’s engravings, gathered by the prophecy each one illustrates.

The explorer

The main site — every prophecy, searchable and cross-linked.

All 873 built-out prophecies →Each with the KJV text, the fulfillment references, ten interpretive traditions side by side, archaeological evidence where it exists, Hebrew and Greek notes, and the cross-reference network.

The complete catalogue

Beyond what is built out here.

Payne’s 1,817 prophecies →The complete book-by-book index of J. Barton Payne’s 1973 catalogue — every book of the Bible with its prediction count, its predictive verses, and what share of the book is predictive. It exists nowhere else in browsable form. The prophecy dataset (CSV & JSON) →All 873 built-out prophecies as structured, machine-readable data — fulfillment references, categories, confidence scores, Hebrew/Greek keys, and six interpretive traditions per entry.

The point of it

Where all of it is going.

The Syllabus →“The law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ” (Galatians 3:24). The Old Testament was the course; Acts 2:38 is where it lands — repent, be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, receive the Holy Ghost — with every component shown to have been predicted centuries early.

Where this site stands

Openly Apostolic (Oneness) Pentecostal — that reading leads every entry, and the Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, academic and other traditions are presented fairly and in their own terms. Bias named, not hidden. Scripture is quoted from the King James Version throughout. Free, non-commercial, no account required, nothing to buy.

Under the pastoral guidance of C. Myles Young, D.Min., and the episcopal oversight of Bishop Nathaniel J. Wilson, Ed.D. Built on the catalogue of J. Barton Payne’s Encyclopedia of Biblical Prophecy (1973), cited under fair use for scholarship and comment. “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21).
