Nuggets from “An Urgent Call to a Serious Faith” by Dave Hunt: “Most Prophecy Has Already Been Fulfilled” - 

There are no prophecies of verifiable date of origin and documented fulfillment centuries later – not one - in the Qur’an, in the Hindu Vedas, in the sayings of Buddha, in the sayings of Confucius, or in any other scriptures of the world’s religions. The Bible, however, is about 28 percent prophecy, and its thousands of prophecies cover a wide range of subjects and events.

Some biblical prophecy awaits future fulfillment: the Rapture (the catching up by Christ of all true believers to heaven), the revealing of Antichrist and the establishment of his world government, the Great Tribulation, Armageddon, and the Second Coming of Christ to rescue Israel. Most Bible prophecies, however, have already been fulfilled, and these constitute irrefutable proof that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. Repeatedly, the God of the Bible reminds us that He alone declares what will happen in advance and proves that He is the only true God by specific fulfillment of prophecy. For example:

“Behold, the former things [I foretold through my prophets} are come to pass and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them… I am God and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure… I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I showed it to thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them. (Isaiah:42:9Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
See All...; 46:9-10; 48:5)
