More than 100 million books have been written throughout the world since the dawn of recorded history, according to an estimate published in 2010. Of those books, one stands alone in how uniquely and strongly it is associated with prophecy, and that book is the Bible.

Some scholars have proposed that there are as many as 1,800 prophecies in the Bible.

This book, 100 Fulfilled Bible Prophecies, offers a selection of 100 Bible prophecies and walks the reader through a clear and concise explanation of how those prophecies have been fulfilled.

Many of these prophecies foretold of a cycle of events involving the destruction and restoration of ancient Israel. The prophets of the Bible also predicted the rise and demise of the great ancient kingdoms of Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome.

And many other Bible's prophecies foretold the birth, life, death and resurrection of the Messiah, who would reconcile mankind with God, and offer eternal life to believers in the Kingdom of God.

Those prophecies informed us centuries ahead of time that the Messiah would be from the tribe of Judah, that he would be a descendant of King David, that he would be born in Bethlehem, that he would be mortal and die, and yet be eternal, and have a worldwide impact.

Those prophecies find fulfillment in Jesus Christ, and in him alone.

The reason for this book

There are many books that go into great detail about a small selection of fulfilled prophecies but leave the reader without an overview of the range of prophecies within the Bible.

And there are books that seek to identify and list each and every prophecy of the Bible, but they often do not explain how those prophecies were fulfilled.

This book, 100 Fulfilled Bible Prophecies, seeks to fill the void by explaining how a wide range of prophecies within the Bible have found fulfillment within the pages of history.

The goal is to show the reader that the Bible accurately predicted events involving Israel, the surrounding nations, ancient empires, and the Messiah, and that the Bible is unique in this regard.

When the Bible was completed about 2,000 years ago, it contained the most vast and varied collection of prophecies that the ancient world has to offer. This book, 100 Fulfilled Bible Prophecies, hopes that the reader gains an appreciation and understanding as to why the Bible today continues to be uniquely associated with prophecy.
