| # | Verse | Prophesy | Does this refer to Jesus? |
| 1 | Genesis 3:15 | Seed of a Woman | This is a simple fable explaining how snakes lost their legs and why they crawl at our feet. It’s NOT a prophecy. |
| 2 | Genesis 12:3 | Descendent of Abraham |
“3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you." This is obviously a prophecy of the nation of Israel. Does it say “My child will be born of Abraham’s seed and He will be sacrificed for all of mankind’s sins.” |
| 2b | Genesis 22:18 | Descendent of Abraham |
“18 and through your descendants, all the nations of the earth will be blessed - all because you have obeyed me." Another obvious prophecy of the nation of Israel. |
| 3 | Genesis 17:19 | Descendent of Isaac |
“19 But God replied, ‘Sarah, your wife, will bear you a son. You will name him Isaac, and I will confirm my everlasting covenant with him and his descendants.’” Another obvious prophecy of the nation of Israel. |
| 3b | Genesis 21:12 | Descendent of Isaac |
“12 But God told Abraham, ‘Do not be upset over the boy and your servant wife. Do just as Sarah says, for Isaac is the son through whom your descendants will be counted.’” Another obvious prophecy of the nation of Israel. |
| 4 | Genesis 28:14 | Descendent of Jacob |
“14 Your descendants will be as numerous as the dust of the earth! They will cover the land from east to west and from north to south. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you and your descendants.” Another obvious prophecy of the nation of Israel. |
| 4b | Numbers 24:17 | Descendent of Jacob | “17 I see him, but not in the present time. I perceive him, but far in the distant future. A star will rise from Jacob; a scepter will emerge from Israel. It will crush the foreheads of Moab's people, cracking the skulls of the people of Sheth.” That’s funny, I don’t remember Jesus cracking the skulls of the people of Sheth.. |
| 5 | Genesis 49:10 | From the tribe of Judah | 10 The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from his descendants, until the coming of the one to whom it belongs, the one whom all nations will obey.” Really - so all nations obeyed Jesus? |
| 6 | Isaiah 9:6 | Descendent of David | These verses refer to something that has already happened (past tense) the birth of King Hezekiah. Jesus does not fulfill 9:5 in any way: "5 In that day of peace, battle gear will no longer be issued. Never again will uniforms be bloodstained by war. All such equipment will be burned." MORE. |
| 6b | Isaiah 11:1 | Descendent of David | Great scripture for debunking the Messiahship of Jesus since he fails to fulfill verses 4-9. For example: "4 He will defend the poor and the exploited. He will rule against the wicked and destroy them with the breath of his mouth. " MORE. |
| 6c | Jeremiah 23:5-6 | Descendent of David |
Verse 6: “And this is his name: 'The LORD Is Our Righteousness.' In that day Judah will be saved, and Israel will live in safety.” These verses prophesy yet another Israeli utopia that certainly does not happen. |
| 6d | All verses | Descendent of David | Jesus was not a descendent of David since the mother's lineage doesn't matter and Joseph was not his father. Christians will say that Jesus was Joseph's adopted son. Sorry, that doesn't work since the prophecies don't say "son", they say "seed of" which leaves nothing vague about the prophecy. Why don't we see Solomon in this list? Because even though the Messiah was to come from the kingly line of Solomon, according to Luke - Jesus fails to come from this line. According to Matthew, Jesus is a descendent of Solomon but passes through the cursed Jeconiah lineage so he couldn't be Israel's king that way either. |
| 7 | Isaiah 11:1 | Descendent of Jesse | Jesus fails to fulfill verses 4-9. For example: "4 He will defend the poor and the exploited. He will rule against the wicked and destroy them with the breath of his mouth. " MORE. |
| 8 | Ezekiel 37:24 | Will shepherd his people | These verses (15-28) declare a ruler of Israel (David) who will bring Judah and Jerusalem together into the land of Israel where they and the Temple will forever be safe. Jesus’ life isn’t even close. |
| 9 | Isaiah 9:7 | Heir to the throne of David. |
These verses refer to something that has already happened (past tense) the birth of King Hezekiah. Jesus does not fulfill 9:5 in any way: "5 In that day of peace, battle gear will no longer be issued. Never again will uniforms be bloodstained by war. All such equipment will be burned." MORE. |
| 10 | Micah 5:2 | His preexistence. | Cannot possibly refer to Jesus unless he somehow defeats the Assyrians 600 years after the empire dies. MORE. |
| 11 | Isaiah 9:6 | Eternal existence. |
These verses refer to something that has already happened (past tense) the birth of King Hezekiah. Jesus does not fulfill 9:5 in any way: "5 In that day of peace, battle gear will no longer be issued. Never again will uniforms be bloodstained by war. All such equipment will be burned." MORE. |
| 11b | Micah 5:1 | Eternal existence. | Cannot possibly refer to Jesus unless he somehow defeats the Assyrians 600 years after the empire dies. MORE. |
| 12 | Psalms 45:6-7 Psalms 102:25-27 |
Anointed and Eternal. | Psalm 45 is a song to a king, not a prophecy. Psalm 102:25-27 is praise to God, not a prophecy. |
| 13 | Psalms 110:1 | Called Lord. | The Psalm is a song to a king not a prophecy. |
| 14 | Isaiah 33:22 | judge | Not a prophecy, Jehovah is declared judge not his son. |
| 15 | Psalms 2:6 | King | The Psalm is a coronation song - not a prophecy. |
| 16 | Micah 5:2 | King | Prophecy indicates a military leader. Jesus did not and could not fulfill Micah 5-6 as Assyria ceased to exist 600 years before Christ was born. MORE. |
| 17 | Daniel 9:25 | Time of Birth |
Terribly and deliberately mistranslated: “25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.” There is indisputably an ‘etnacta’ (Hebrew version of a Semi-Colon) separating 7 weeks and 62 weeks changing the meaning to: “25 Know, therefore, and discern that seven weeks [of years] will elapse between the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Yerushalayim until an anointed prince comes. It will remain built for sixty-two weeks [of years], with open spaces and moats; but these will be troubled times.”
This completely changes the ‘time of birth’. Interestingly even the 1611 KJV translates the semicolon correctly. It was changed in the 19th century to help aid the ‘Jesus as Messiah’ myth.
|
| 18 | Isaiah 7:14 | Born of a Virgin | Original Hebrew says ‘young woman’, not ‘virgin. Prophecy is fulfilled in Isaiah 8. MORE |
| 19 | Psalms 72:9 | Worshipped by Shepherds | The Psalm is a song to Solomon not a prophecy. Psalm does not mention shepherds. |
| 20 | Psalms 72:10 | Honored by kings | The Psalm is a song to Solomon not a prophecy. |
| 21 | Jeremiah 31:15 | Children killed | Actual ‘prophecy’ reveals that the ‘children’ are soldiers captured by the enemy and will be returned safely. This is one of the most obvious of the misquouted prophecies. MORE. Historians agree that "The Slaughter of the Innocents" certainly never happened |
| 22 | Hosea 11:1 | Out of Egypt | Half the verse is co-opted for this ‘prophecy’. The full verse reveals that ISRAEL was called out of Egypt. Again the rest of the paragraph cannot possibly refer to Jesus unless he burned incense to Baal. MORE. |
| 22? | ???? | Nazarene | Matthew 2:23 says that the Messiah would be a Nazarene as is foretold in the prophecy. Why isn't this prophecy in the list? Because it doesn't exist ANYWHERE in the Old Testament - it is a complete fabrication. MORE. |
| 23 | Isaiah 40:3-5 | The way prepared | Verses describe a disembodied voice of joy praising Jehovah. There is nothing similar to John the Baptist here. MORE. |
| 24 | Malachi 3:1 | Preceded by a forerunner | Again, this doesn’t sound like John the Baptist and besides the verses state that this will purify the Levites so Jehovah will be able to accept offerings from them again. Doesn’t happen. |
| 25 | Malachi 4:5-6 | Precede by Elijah | …before the Great and Dreadful day of the Lord! (Dreadful?) Again, sounds nothing like John the Baptist. Besides John specifically denies being Elijah. John 1:21. |
| 26 | Psalms 2:7 | Son of God | The Psalm is a coronation song - not a prophecy. |
| 26b | Proverbs 30:4 | Son of God | Simply mentions God’s son in the way a king is mentioned. |
| 27 | Isaiah 9:5-6 | God’s name applied to him. | These verses refer to something that has already happened (past tense) the birth of King Hezekiah. Jesus does not fulfill 9:5 in any way: "5 In that day of peace, battle gear will no longer be issued. Never again will uniforms be bloodstained by war. All such equipment will be burned." MORE. . |
| 27b | Jeremiah 23:5-6 | God’s name applied to him. | The Lord is Righteous is a tribute to Jehovah and not uncommon. The prophecy includes: “In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. “ Judah is not saved and Israel is occupied. |
| 28 | Isaiah 11:2 | Anointment of Holy Spirit | Ripped from the middle of an unfulfilled prophecy unless lions are lying down with lambs and evil men have been incinerated with fire from Jesus’ mouth. MORE. |
| 28b | Isaiah 61:1 | Anointment of Holy Spirit | “The spirit of the Lord God is upon me.” Isaiah is obviously speaking about himself, not some future Messiah. |
| 28c | Proverbs 45:8 | Anointment of Holy Spirit | Thoroughly irrelevant - must be a misprint. |
| 29 | Isaiah 9:1-2 | Galilean Ministry | These verses refer to something that has already happened (past tense) the birth of King Hezekiah. Jesus does not fulfill 9:5 in any way: "5 In that day of peace, battle gear will no longer be issued. Never again will uniforms be bloodstained by war. All such equipment will be burned." MORE. |
| 30 | Psalms 78:2-4 | Speaks in Parables | The SINGER speaks in poems to tell the stories of Israel. This is NOT a prophecy. |
| 31 | Isaiah 56:7 | Temple becomes a house of merchants | This verse is completely irrelevant simply referring to Gentiles who’re allowed to burn offerings in the Temple. |
| 31b | Jeremiah 7:11 | Temple becomes a house of merchants | The bad guys are Baal worshipers who hide in the Temple and no business is conducted there. No merchants are mentioned. |
| 32 | Psalms 69:9 | Zeal of Jews for Temple instead of God | Thoroughly irrelevant. This sorrowful psalm‘s verse: “Passion for your house burns within me, so those who insult you are also insulting me.” |
| 33 | Deuteronomy 18:15, 18 | A prophet | Jehovah simply promises to raise prophets for Israel. No mention of Messiah or Son of God. |
| 34 | Isaiah 29:18 | Blind, deaf and lame are healed by the Messiah. | If verse 18 was fulfilled then why weren’t verses 20-24 fulfilled? Isaiah 29:20 “Those who intimidate and harass will be gone, and all those who plot evil will be killed.” |
| 34b | Isaiah 35:5-6 | Blind, deaf and lame are healed by the Messiah. | Passage cannot refer to Jesus. It describes an idealized utopia that never happened during the life of Jesus. |
| 35 | Isaiah 40:11 | Messiah will be Meek and Mild. | But what about 40:10 “Yes, the Sovereign LORD is coming in all his glorious power. He will rule with awesome strength. See, he brings his reward with him as he comes.” Why can Jesus fulfill one verse but not the verse before it and still be Messiah? |
| 35b | Isaiah 42:2-3 | Messiah will be Meek and Mild. | This ‘servant’ refers to Israel as we see in verse 19 “Who in all the world is as blind as my own people, my servant? Who is as deaf as my messengers? Who is as blind as my chosen people, the servant of the LORD?” |
| 35c | Isaiah 53:7 | Messiah will be Meek and Mild. | Isaiah’s suffering servant is Israel. |
| 36 | Isaiah 53:9 | Be sinless and without guile. | Isaiah’s suffering servant is Israel. |
| 37 | Isaiah 42:1 | Will Minister to the Gentiles. | “…he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles (not minister to).” This ‘servant’ refers to Israel as we see in verse 19 “Who in all the world is as blind as my own people, my servant? Who is as deaf as my messengers? Who is as blind as my chosen people, the servant of the LORD?” |
| 37b | Isaiah 49:1 | Will Minister to the Gentiles. | “Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye peoples, from far: Jehovah hath called me…” Does this say “The Son of God will minister to the Gentiles” or does it say “Hey EVERYBODY, God called me…”. |
| 38 | Isaiah 61:1-2 | To bind up the brokenhearted. | “The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is upon me, because the LORD has appointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to announce that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed.” At which point Isaiah goes on a long prophecy about a Utopian Israel where foreigners will be Israel’s servants. Isaiah is comforting the brokenhearted with a prophecy which never comes true. |
| 39 | Isaiah 53:12 | To intercede for the people. | Isaiah’s suffering servant is Israel. |
| 39b | Isaiah 59:16 | To intercede for the people. | Oh but HOW does He intercede? 16 He was amazed to see that no one intervened to help the oppressed. So he himself stepped in to save them with his mighty power and justice. 17 He put on righteousness as his body armor and placed the helmet of salvation on his head. He clothed himself with the robes of vengeance and godly fury. 18 He will repay his enemies for their evil deeds. His fury will fall on his foes in distant lands. |
| 40 | Isaiah 53:3, 8:14, 28:16, 63:3, Psalms 69:6, 118:22 | Rejected by his people. | Just a huge pile of irrelevent scriptures where someone gets rejected. You could just as easily reference TV scripts, Grimm’s fairy tales and Jackie Collins novels. For example: Psalm 69 cannot possibly refer to Jesus: "5 O God, you know how foolish I am; my sins cannot be hidden from you." |
| 41 | Psalms 118:22 | Rejected by the Jewish leadership. | This Psalm of joy verse by verse cannot possibly refer to Jesus. 12 They swarmed around me like bees; they blazed against me like a roaring flame. But I destroyed them all in the name of the LORD. |
| 42 | Psalms 2:1-2 | Jews and Gentiles plot against him. | Psalm is a coronation song not a prophecy. Neither Jews nor gentiles are mentioned. |
| 43 | Psalms 110:4 | Priest after the order of Melchizedek. | Psalm is a song to a king saying that, like Melchizedek, he is both a priest and a king. Genesis 14:18. |
| 44 | Zechariah 9:9 | Enters Jerusalem on a Donkey. | So Jesus fulfills Zechariah 9 by riding on a Donkey even though he fails to fulfill 9:10 I will remove the battle chariots from Israel and the warhorses from Jerusalem, and I will destroy all the weapons used in battle. Your king will bring peace to the nations. His realm will stretch from sea to sea and from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth. MORE. |
| 45 | Haggai 2:7-9 | Entered the temple with authority. | Does Haggai say that ‘The Son of God shall enter the Temple with authority?’ No. The prophecy states that Jehovah will fill the Temple with Glory while shaking all the earth’s treasure into it. Does this happen? |
| 45b | Malachi 3:1 | Entered the temple with authority. | Malachi 3:3-4 states that this Messiah will purify the Levites so Jehovah will be able to accept offerings from them again. Doesn’t happen. |
| 46 | Psalms 8:2 | Adored by infants. | Just a Psalm praising Jehovah - note the 2nd half of the ‘prophecy’. 2 “You have taught children and nursing infants to give you praise. They silence your enemies who were seeking revenge.” |
| 47 | Isaiah 53:1 | Not believed. | Isaiah’s suffering servant is Israel. |
| 48 | Zechariah 13:7 | Sheep of the Shepherd will scatter. | So if verse 7 is fulfilled then why not verse 8? 7 "Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, the man who is my partner, says the LORD Almighty. Strike down the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn against the lambs. 8 Two-thirds of the people in the land will be cut off and die, says the LORD. But a third will be left in the land." |
| 49 | Psalms 41:9 | Betrayed by close friend. | Now this is a great example of how awful this list is. The psalm is about a sick man plotting revenge against the people who hope for his death. Verse 4 even says: "O LORD," I prayed, "have mercy on me. Heal me, for I have sinned against you." Pulling a betrayal verse out of here is like pulling a betrayal sentence out of Julius Caesar by Shakespeare and saying it refers to Jesus. MORE. |
| 49b | Psalms 55:13-15 | Betrayed by close friend. | Really generic betrayal verse in really generic Psalm. Nothing talking about Messiah, Son of God, Great King or anything. |
| 50 | Zechariah 11:12 | Betrayed for thirty pieces of silver. | These two verses are a chicken and egg scenario. Did the whole betrayal for 30 silver and the Potter’s field really happen or was it shoehorned into the gospel because the storyteller wanted to make it sound like a fulfilled prophecy? In any event Zechariah 11:4-14 is a curse from Jehovah, not a Messianic prophecy in any way. |
| 51 | Zechariah 11:13 | Betrayal money used to buy Potter's field. | See Above. |
| 52 | Psalms 35:11 | Accused by false witnesses. | This is a very generic ‘poor me’ psalm. Verse 13 cannot refer to Jesus.
"13 Yet when they were ill, I grieved for them. I even fasted and prayed for them, but my prayers returned unanswered." |
| 53 | Isaiah 53:7 | Silent to accusations. | Common description of suffering Israel. Isaiah’s suffering servant is Israel. |
| 54 | Isaiah 50:6 | Spat. | Isaiah 50:4-9 is not a prophecy, it’s just Isaiah speaking of himself. |
| 55 | Isaiah 50:6 | Beaten. | Isaiah 50:4-9 is not a prophecy, it’s just Isaiah speaking of himself. |
| 56 | Micah 5:1 | Struck on Cheek. | Prophecy indicates a military leader. Jesus did not and could not fulfill Micah 5-6 as Assyria ceased to exist 600 years before Christ was born. MORE. |
| 57 | Isaiah 49:7 | Hated without Reason. | Isaiah 49 describes yet another Israel-Utopia where all of Israel’s people will be brought back to their homeland. This has nothing to do with Jesus. |
| 57b | Psalms 35:19 | Hated without Reason. | This is a very generic ‘poor me’ psalm. Verse 13 cannot refer to Jesus.
"13 Yet when they were ill, I grieved for them. I even fasted and prayed for them, but my prayers returned unanswered." |
| 57c | Psalms 69:4 | Hated without Reason. | Psalm 69 cannot possibly refer to Jesus: "5 O God, you know how foolish I am; my sins cannot be hidden from you." |
| 58 | Isaiah 53:5 | Wounded and bruised. | Isaiah’s suffering servant is Israel. |
| 59 | Isaiah 53:5 | Vicarious Sacrifice. | Deliberately mistranslated. Should be ‘from’ not ‘for’. Isaiah’s suffering servant is Israel. |
| 60 | Daniel 9:24-26 | cut off, but not for Himself. | The fulfillment verses of Matt 2:1, Luke 3:1,23 seem thoroughly irrelevant. In any event the correct translation is “26 And after the threescore and two weeks shall the anointed one be cut off, and shall have nothing”. |
| 61 | Isaiah 53:12 | Crucified with malefactors. | There is, of course, no reference to ‘crucifixion’ or ‘dying with malefactors’ - just this: “…he exposed himself to death. He was counted among those who were sinners…; |
| 62 | Zechariah 12:10 | Pierced through hands and feet. | Mistranslated again.
Instead of… “10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.” (KJV) It should be… "10 But I will fill the House of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem with a spirit of pity and compassion; they shall lament to Me about those who are slain, wailing over them as over a favorite son and showing bitter grief as over a first-born" (JPS) In any event Jesus again fails to fulfill the rest of the prophecy which includes destroying all the nations attacking Israel.. Zech 12:1-14. |
| 62b | Psalms 22:16 | Pierced through hands and feet. | Psalms 22 is NOT a Messianic prophecy. |
| 63 | Psalms 22:7-8 | Sneered and Mocked. | Psalms 22 is NOT a Messianic prophecy. |
| 64 | Psalms 109:24,25 | Fell under the Cross. | There’s nothing like that in these verses - only “my knees are weak from fasting.” |
| 65 | Psalms 69:9 | Was reproached. | Psalm 69 cannot possibly refer to Jesus: 5 O God, you know how foolish I am; my sins cannot be hidden from you..” |
| 66 | Psalms 38:11 | Was reproached. | Psalm 38 cannot possibly refer to Jesus: “3 Because of your anger, my whole body is sick; my health is broken because of my sins. “ In fact if you actually read just this verse you will see that his friends stand afar off because of his disease. |
| 67 | Psalms 109:25 | People shook their head. | Psalm 109 sounds nothing like Jesus. It describes a persecuted man who spends 15 verses cursing one individual. He then ends the Psalm believing that God will deliver him from all the evil. |
| 68 | Psalms 22:17 | Stared Upon. | Psalms 22 is NOT a Messianic prophecy. |
| 69 | Psalms 22:16 | Given Vinegar for His Thirst. | Psalms 22 is NOT a Messianic prophecy. There is NO mention of vinegar in this passage. |
| 69b | Psalms 69:21 | Given Vinegar for His Thirst. | Psalm 69 cannot possibly refer to Jesus: 5 O God, you know how foolish I am; my sins cannot be hidden from you..” |
| 70 | Psalms 109:4 | Prayer for his enemies. | Psalm 109 sounds nothing like Jesus. It describes a persecuted man who spends 15 verses cursing one individual. He then ends the Psalm believing that God will deliver him from all the evil. Besides, Psalm doesn’t say that he prays for his enemies - just that he prays. |
| 70b | Isaiah 53:12 | Prayer for his Enemies. | Isaiah’s suffering servant is Israel. |
| 71 | Psalms 22:17-18 | Soldiers gambled for His clothing. | Psalms 22 is NOT a Messianic prophecy. |
| 72 | Psalms 22:1 | Forsaken by God. | Psalms 22 is NOT a Messianic prophecy. |
| 73 | Psalms 31:5 | Committed Himself to God. | Psalms 31 cannot refer to Jesus:
10 For my life is spent with grief, And my years with sighing; My strength fails because of my iniquity, And my bones waste away. |
| 74 | Exodus 12:48 | No bones broken. | Well, you’re not allowed to break any of the bones of the Passover lamb but you couldn’t take it outside either. Didn’t Jesus die outside or was Golgotha an indoor event?
46 In one house it shall be eaten; you shall not carry any of the flesh outside the house, nor shall you break one of its bones. |
| 74b | Psalms 34:20 | No bones broken. | Psalm is a promise of what God will do for his faithful. The verse referenced here means that his faithful will be unharmed. 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all. 20 He guards all his bones; Not one of them is broken. |
| 75 | Psalms 22:14 | Heart Broken. | Actually the verse says that it melts like wax. Psalms 22 is NOT a Messianic prophecy. |
| 76 | Zechariah 12:10 | Side Pierced. | Zechariah 12:10 really makes little sense if you read the Christian Translation:
10 "I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn. "They will look on ME, whom they have pierced"; and then changes pronouns mid-sentence; "…they will mourn for HIM, as one mourns for an only son." Which is it? The Hebrew, translated by a Jew actually makes sense, however: 10 But I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Yerushalayim the spirit of grace and of supplication: and they shall look towards me, regarding those whom the nations have thrust through. And they shall mourn for him (that is slain) as one mourns for an only son, and shall be in bitterness over him, as one that is in bitterness for a firstborn.. |
| 77 | Amos 8:9 | Darkness over the land. | Why does only Matthew mention this event. No other Gospel writer or historian seems to have found this interesting enough to write down. Besides, does this happen:
Amos 8:8 “The land will rise up like the Nile River at flood time, toss about, and sink again.” |
| 78 | Isaiah 53:9 | Buried with the Rich | Properly translated the verse says:
He submitted himself to his grave like wicked men; and the wealthy [submitted] to his executions, |
| 79 all | Psalms 3:5, 16:10, 49:15 | To be resurrected. | Isn’t it sad that the only scriptures heralding the most important act in Christianity; the resurrection, are found in a book that has nothing to do with prophecy: Psalms. All of these psalms are generic, do not refer to a Messiah, Son of God or King and most likely speak of a rescue, NOT a resurrection. |
| 79a | Psalms 3:5 | To be resurrected. | A really standard “God will rescue me” verse in a tiny, generic Psalm:
5 I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustains me. |
| 79b | Psalms 16:10 | To be resurrected. | A really standard “God will rescue me” verse in a tiny, generic Psalm:
10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay. |
| 79c | Psalms 49:15 | To be resurrected. | A really standard “God will rescue me” verse in a really standard Psalm:
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, For He will receive me. Selah.. |
| 80 | Isaiah 44:3 | Sent the Holy Spirit. | The obvious benefactor is Israel.
3 'For I will pour out water on the thirsty {land} And streams on the dry ground; I will pour out My Spirit on your offspring And My blessing on your descendants; 4 And they will spring up among the grass Like poplars by streams of water.' |
| 80b | Joel 2:28 | Sent the Holy Spirit. | Ah but let’s see what’s in the next couple verses.
30 "I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth, Blood, fire and columns of smoke. 31 "The sun will be turned into darkness And the moon into blood Before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes. |
| 81 | Isaiah 55:3-4 | Establishes a new covenant. | He doesn’t break the old covenant - he makes another covenant (promise) with Israel.
Isaiah 54:10 For the mountains may leave and the hills be removed, but my grace will never leave you, and my covenant of peace will not be removed," says ADONAI, who has compassion on you. |
| 81b | Jeremiah 31:31 | Establishes a new covenant. | What is the new covenant and with whom is it made?
33 "But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days," declares the LORD, " I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 "They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them," declares the LORD, "for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more." |
| 82 | Psalms 68:18 | His ascension. | This Psalm refers to a mountain that Jehovah has chosen - maybe for worship or sacrifice.
16 Why do you look with envy, O mountains with {many} peaks, At the mountain which God has desired for His abode? Surely the LORD will dwell {there} forever. |
| 82b | Psalms 110:1 | His ascension. | This is a psalm to a king - not a prophecy:
1 The LORD says to my Lord: " Sit at My right hand Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet."
If Jesus is God then why would he sit at the right hand of himself until he makes his enemies a footstool for himself? |
| 83 | Psalms 29:11 | Peace proclaimed by disciple. | An incredibly generic Psalm verse that has been ridiculously appropriated as a prophecy! Read the verse:
11 The LORD will give strength to His people; The LORD will bless His people with peace. |
| 83b | Micah 4:3 | Peace proclaimed by disciple. | Really good verse debunking Jesus’ messiahship since this doesn’t happen:
3 And He will judge between many peoples And render decisions for mighty, distant nations. Then they will hammer their swords into plowshares And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation will not lift up sword against nation, And never again will they train for war. |
| 84 | Isaiah 60:3 | Light to Gentiles. | An obvious prophecy of Israel. Note the verse after verse 3:
3 " Nations will come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising. 4 " Lift up your eyes round about and see; They all gather together, they come to you. Your sons will come from afar, And your daughters will be carried in the arms. “Your sons will come from afar” is a common prophecy of Israel and makes no sense if you try to crowbar it into a Jesus prophecy. |
| 85 | Isaiah 11:10, 42:1, 49:1-12 | Light to Gentiles. | Plainly labeled prophecies of Israel. Note 49:3
3 He said to Me, " You are My Servant, Israel, In Whom I will show My glory." |
Psalms
As I'm looking through this list I see an inordinate amount of so-called prophecies being lifted from Psalms. Psalms are NOT prophecies! Psalms are songs usually sung about Jehovah or to a current king. They were not written by prophets and the only future they ever forecast is wishfull thinking where God will destroy all enemies and rescue the singer or the king. Why do Christians scavenge slivers of scriptures out of Psalms? Psalms are highly poetic and allegorical so Christians can crowbar out some of those slivers they can't find anywhere else. If these scavenging Christians were honest they would simply go to the Books of PROPHETS and transpose the actual Messianic prophecies. Why don't they? Because the Messianic prophecies don't sound anything like Jesus.
The 10 Prophecies
My challenge to Christians is not to try to cut and paste a prophecy out of hundreds of irrelevent scriptures but actually find a prophecy that sounds like Jesus' ministry. I would think that something as important as the propitiatory sacrifice of the Son of God would be rife throughout prophecy! Christians see this as the most important event in human history and yet we find no coherent prophecy that sounds anything like Jesus' life. The following are ten specifics of Jesus' life that should be included in any prophecy regarding this Messiah.
