How accurate is Biblical prophecy?

[JeremK]

This really just seems like a "Jesus or no Jesus" question, to which I must answer, no Jesus.

That depends entirely on your imagination.

I went online to find a simple list of prophecies with attached chapter and verse. All I found were sites devoted to a particular object of prophecy, usually the end times or the coming of Christ.

[Augustus]

Most open ended prophecies are technically never inaccurate, they just haven't happened yet.

Just...One...More...Year...

To the letter on some accounts; depends which authors you choose within the Bible.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Bible prophecy is outstanding and amazingly accurate within the confines and scope of its text.

Otherwise not so much.

So accurate that critics falsely accuse Bible prophesy as being written after the events prophesied occurred. And since the Bible was completed some 1900 years ago, the prophesies now being fulfilled give the lie to claims that Bible prophesies are history written in disguise.

Daniel 11-12 describes Jewish history from Daniel's time to 70 C.E. so accurately in every detail, that I am tempted to believe that this passage wasn't written until after 70 C.E. We have no copies of this passage prior to 70 C.E. not even in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Every detail was fulfilled.

The prophecy about Tyre being destroyed didn't come to pass. The city was conquered by Alexander the great over two hundred years after it was supposed to be utterly destroyed (according to the bible) by a Babylonian king named Nebuchadnezzar.
