Biblical Prohecies That Came True? (page 14)

Dan. 2 doesn't meet all your criteria (no specific dates), but is impressive nevertheless. Daniel tells Nebuchadnezzar: “However, there exists a God in the heavens who is a Revealer of secrets, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what is to occur in the final part of the days” (Dan. 2:28). Modern scholars don't believe in predictive prophecy, so they prefer the sequence of the metals as Babylon (gold), Media (silver), Persia (copper), and Greece (iron). Problem with that explanation is that the writer of the book viewed the combined Medo-Persian Empire as the second kingdom (cf. Dan. 5:28; 8:20). If that is the case, the next kingdom would be that of Greece, with the fourth being Rome. The feet of iron and clay indicate the fragmentation of nations, very much like we have today. The destruction of the image and the setting up of God's kingdom would occur sometime in the future, "in the final part of the days." Why would his prediction be special? Because Rome only came on the scene in 63 BCE, when Pompey annexed Palestine. Even if Daniel was written 165 BCE as modern scholars contend, the author's prediction is quite accurate.

dear Viviane...

you said, "Kings, by definition, are not elected by the people. That wasn't the custom and being welcomed as King doesn't make one King. Also, no scripture ever said a man named Jesus would be crowned King."...

it was the custom that JEWISH kings were chosen by God to reign over the jewish people. whether he was welcomed as king or not didn't invalidate the custom and right of God to choose. The gentile nations had kings imposed on them for good or bad through conquest, if the king isn't welcomed does that mean he isn't king?

It also fails on specificity. Anyone who says what Kingdoms are represented by the metals is reading into the text, not letting it speak for itself.

it was the custom that JEWISH kings were chosen by God to reign over the jewish people. whether he was welcomed as king or not didn't invalidate the custom and right of God to choose.

Under the right circumstances, it can, yes.

In any event, Jesus was never made king. The prophecy fails.

pontius pilate was the "supreme judge" over samaria and judea and he personally made a sign and affixed it to the cross of Jesus Christ that said:

“And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS." luke 23:38

*sigh*... First you said people elected the King, then you said God picked the King, now you say it was Pontius Pilate who made the king. You clearly are saying anything in an attempt to be able to claim a prophecy came true, but, even if any one of those had been right (none of the made Jesus King of Jerusalem, Pilate certainly didn't), there was certainly no prophecy that said a man names Jesus would be crowned King in Jerusalem in that year.

So far, still no prophecy from the Bible that came true.

dear Viviane...

indeed, all those witnesses and you still deny that He was made King of the Jews.

I don`t mind if People have Faith..

I don`t even mind Believers Sharing their Faith..

What bothers me is when "Anyone" says they can "prove something" that "can`t be proven"..

.

The Romans put the sign over Jesus`s Head to Mock Him..

Not to Recognize Jesus as King of the Jews..

A little research goes a long way..

Google is your Friend..LOL!!..

Bible prophecies that came true:none.

source: the bible, (the book itself contains retold stories within itself) e.g., see WT articles discussing Jesus as the Greater Jospeh, the greater Isaac etc.. Then do your homework...I always hated when lackeys asked for answers to their homework....ain't wasting my time.

more importantly, read in FULL the ecumenical councils, particularly, the council of Trent, council of Chalcedon, council of Constantinople and the infamous council of Nicea. These councils make clear just how made up the bible stories are and how the masses were forced to believe its contents or risk pain of death....

But quite frankly I'd prefer eating some Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo since the 'Christ' IS in me and I represent Arm, Leg, Leg, Arm, Head.... Pun intended

dear OUTLAW...

Well, Viviane's argument WAS:

" In any event, Jesus never became King, so the prophecy fails. You can, of course, argue he is Kingin heaven, but that'sa theological argument and not a historical one."...

You can move the goalposts around all day but, scripture answered her argument.
