Dozens of biblical prophecies have already been fulfilled, helping to confirm the validity of the Bible and of its prophecies for the future. Here are a few of the fulfilled prophecies and resources that describe them in more detail:
Soon after the kingdom of Israel split from Judah in 931 B.C., God began warning that Israel would be taken into captivity "beyond the River" Euphrates if they didn't end their idol worship (1 Kings 14:15). God's patient warnings continued for nearly 200 years through prophets such as Micah (approximately 735-710 B.C.), who foresaw the destruction of the capital, Samaria (Micah 1:6).
These prophecies were fulfilled when Assyria took Israel captive in successive invasions culminating about 722 B.C. (See our booklet You Can Understand Bible Prophecy, p. 12.)
The people of Judah were also warned of impending captivity for their sins. Jeremiah even foretold the length of their captivity. They would "serve the king of Babylon seventy years" (Jeremiah 25:11).
Even more amazingly, Isaiah recorded the name of the ruler-Cyrus, king of Persia-who would, many decades in the future, permit the Jews' return (Isaiah 44:28; 45:1-4). These prophecies were fulfilled down to the last detail. (See our booklet You Can Understand Bible Prophecy, pp. 12-13).
