Bible Prophecies by haffaze777(m): 8:56am On Jan 20, 2015
Christians claim that the Bible has hundreds of fulfilled
prophecies, and is proof of its divine inspiration. In
actuality, these so called fulfilled prophecies failed, were
false or weren't prophecies at all. Many of these
prophecies are so vague, they can be attributed to
different events. It's also a fact that the Bible was
written many years after these presumed prophecies
and their "fulfillment" took place. It's also fair to
mention that nowhere in the Bible will you find
countries such as the United States, Russia, China, Korea,
Great Britain prophesied. Oh Christians will tell you
that they are, if you know how to interpret the Bible.
Genesis 26:4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the
stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these
countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the
earth be blessed.
Here God tells Isaac that his descendents
(Hebrews) will be as numerous as the stars.
Considering the number of stars there are in the
universe, that would have to be on the order of
1020 Jewish people.
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a
sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and
shall call his name Immanuel.
Christians say that this verse is a prophecy of
Jesus' birth to a virgin. There are a couple
problems with this prophecy...First, virgin in this
verse is a mistranslation of the Hebrew word
"almah", which actually means "young woman".
A young woman is not necessarily a virgin.
"Bethulah" would have been the correct word to
use if the author meant virgin. Second, nowhere in
the New Testament is Jesus referred to as
Immanuel.
Isaiah 17:1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus
is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a
ruinous heap.
Damascus is still inhabited today with over a
million people, and hardly a ruinous heap.
Isaiah 19:4-5 And the Egyptians will I give over into the
hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over
them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts. And the waters
shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and
dried up.
The river mentioned here is the Nile. The Nile is
still one of Egypt's greatest natural resource.
Isaiah 19:18 In that day shall five cities in the land of
Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the
LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of
destruction.
The Canaanite language has never been spoken in
Egypt, and is now an extinct.
Isaiah 52:1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion;
put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy
city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee
the uncircumcised and the unclean.
There are uncircumcised people living in Jerusalem
even today.
Ezekiel 29:10-11 Behold, therefore I am against thee,
and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt
utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even
unto the border of Ethiopia. No foot of man shall pass
through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither
shall it be inhabited forty years.
Never in its long history has Egypt ever been
uninhabited for forty years.
Amos 9:15 And I will plant them upon their land, and
they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which
I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.
Many times, Jews have been pulled up out of their
land. The ownership of their land is still being
fought for.
Jonah 3:4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's
journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and
Nineveh shall be overthrown.
Nineveh was never overthrown. Why? Because
God changed his mind in verse 3:10, despite what
Malachi 3:6, Numbers 23:19 and Ezekiel 24:14 says
about God never changing his mind.
Jonah 3:10 And God saw their works, that they turned
from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that
he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it
not.
Zechariah 11:12 And I said unto them, If ye think good,
give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed
for my price thirty pieces of silver.
Christians say that this prophecy is was fulfilled
when Judas received 30 pieces of silver for
betraying Jesus. Matthew 27:9 recites this verse,
but incorrectly credits Jeremiah with the prophecy.
Matthew 1:22-23 Now all this was done, that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet,
saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall
bring forth a son, and they shall call his name
Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Again, Jesus is never referred to as Emmanuel
(Immanuel).
Matthew 2:23 And he came and dwelt in a city called
Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by
the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
Nowhere in the Old Testament is such a prophecy
found, so how could such a one be fulfilled?
Matthew 12:5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that
on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane
the sabbath, and are blameless?
There is no passage in the Old Testament that can
be attributed to what Jesus is saying here.
Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation
shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Jesus states that all the signs marking the end of
the world in Matthew 24 would be fulfilled before
his generation ended. That generation ended 2000
years ago, and the world has not come to an end,
neither has all those signs been fulfilled.
Matthew 27:9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken
by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty
pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom
they of the children of Israel did value.
This prophecy was never spoken by Jeremiah.
Matthew 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said:
nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the
Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and
coming in the clouds of heaven.
Jesus tells the high priest that he would see his
second coming. The high priest is long dead, and
Jesus hasn't returned yet.
Throughout the New Testament, the end of the world is
prophesied as being very near, at hand, to be witnessed
by those living at the time. Paul often told the people he
preached to that they would be witnesses to Jesus' second
coming. They are all long gone.
