Many believe that prophecies have been fulfilled, but there are still some others pending which relate to the end times. It has been calculated that the odds of certain prophetic events occurring is extremely unlikely, yet the majority have been quantitatively fulfilled in spite of this. Dr Hugh Ross has calculated the following:

" Approximately 2500 prophecies appear in the pages of the Bible, about 2000 of which already have been fulfilled to the letter-no errors. (The remaining 500 or so reach into the future and may be seen unfolding as days go by.) Since the probability for any one of these prophecies having been fulfilled by chance averages less than one in ten (figured very conservatively) and since the prophecies are for the most part independent of one another, the odds for all these prophecies having been fulfilled by chance without error is less than one in 102000!"

Additional answer: In his model prayer, Christ taught us to pray for the coming of God's Kingdom. The fulfillment of Bible prophecy indicates that the Messianic Kingdom was established in heaven in 1914.* Is it, therefore, still appropriate for us to pray for that Kingdom to "come"? Certainly. For in Daniel's prophecy, the Messianic Kingdom, symbolized by a stone, is on a collision course with human political governments, symbolized by an immense image. The stone will yet come against that image, striking it a blow that will reduce it to powder. Daniel's prophecy says: "The kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite."-Daniel 2:44.

It is noteworthy that the Apostle Paul referred to the execution of God's judgment upon the ungodly as tribulation. He wrote: "This takes into account that it is righteous on God's part to repay tribulation to those who make tribulation for you, but, to you who suffer tribulation, relief along with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels in a flaming fire, as he brings vengeance upon those who do not know God and those who do not obey the good news about our Lord Jesus." (2Th 1:6-8)

Things Yet to Come

But just what does The Bible foretell about our future?

GOD'S RULE TO REPLACE HUMAN RULE OF THE EARTH. "The God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will . . . crush and put an end to all these [human] kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite."-Dan. 2:44.

SOME PERSONS WILL SURVIVE THAT DESTRUCTION. "Seek Jehovah, all you meek ones of the earth, who have practiced His own judicial decision. Seek righteousness, seek meekness. Probably you may be concealed in the day of Jehovah's anger."-Zeph. 2:3.

A NEW EARTHLY ORDER. "I saw a new heaven and a new earth . . . And God . . . will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore."-Rev. 21:1-4.

THOSE IN THE GRAVES WILL COME OUT. Jesus declared: "The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."-John 5:28, 29.

What does Jocasta reject in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That all prophecies come true is what Jocasta rejects in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta believes that prophecies can be sabotaged. She knows of two prophecies that she believes do not come true. In each case, the person so affected reacts in such a way - killing a child, running away - as to keep the prophesied events from happening ... or so she believes.


Is the inciting incident when Oedipus realizes that the prophecies have all come true in 'Oedipus Rex'?

No, Oedipus' realization that all the prophecies come true is not the inciting incident in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the inciting incident is the event that makes the story possible. Without it, there is no story. It occurs in the beginning of the play. In contrast, Oedipus' realization occurs at the end.


How many of Jesus' and some of the other prophets in the Bible's prophecies were just plain wrong?

NONE of the prophecies, made by Jesus or any of God's prophets in the Bible, were 'wrong'. They ALL came ( ...or are coming)TRUE .(Joshua 21:45)(John 13:19)(Luke 21:22)(Luke 24:44)(Acts 3:18)


Why does Jocasta tell Oedipus to ignore the prophecies in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That she seeks to comfort him and that she thinks that not all prophecies come true are reasons why Jocasta tells Oedipus to ignore the prophecies in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus admits that he is running scared from a prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother. Queen Jocasta appears to love Oedipus and tries to make him feel better. She believes that not all prophecies come true. She gives as an example the prophesied death of her first husband, King Laius, by their son. She indicates that the death instead takes place far away and at the hands of robbers.
