Extensive List of Prophecies

Last Updated on Saturday, 17 July 2010 11:13

Included here is an extensive list of prophecies concerning the person of Jesus Christ. I should note that while some of these prophecies are vague, others are extremely detailed. There are some that are debated as to whether or not they are really prophecies yet the majority of the list is held as authentic. Some may be confusing if the symbolism or terminology is not fully understood but this list is provided primarily to show all the things spoken about Jesus long before his birth.
