How many prophecies about Jesus didn't come true?

Answer 1

The seven annual Holy Day feasts of God picture His plan, concluding with the Last Great Day, Judgment Day.

The first three "spring harvest" feasts have been and are currently being fulfilled until Jesus Christ returns. They are the Passover [Jesus' crucifixion], the Days of Unleavened Bread [the closed and sealed scriptures, the Bread of Life, opened to end time understanding by the "wise"; those who fear God - [Dan.12:10/Prov.9:10] through faith in Christ]; and Pentecost [the ongoing availability of the Holy Spirit to all who believe].

The last four annual Holy Day feasts of God that come at the time of the more abundant "fall harvest" every year, haven't been fulfilled yet.

The Feast of Trumpets: Jesus' return. Christ will return at the sounding of the "last trump."

The Day of Atonement: The sins of the world laid upon the head of Satan by Jesus at His return, and his banishment for a thousand years. [see: Rev.20:1-3)

The Feast of Tabernacles: The Kingdom of God ruling over the mortal nations on earth for a thousand years, before man's mortality is changed to immortality at its conclusion.

The Last Great Day: Judgment Day. All men's lives are assessed according to the works they did, measured against the books of the Bible, which will be opened for reference. [see: Rev.20:11-15 and John 12:48]

Based on these seven commanded annual Holy Day feasts of God recorded in the Bible: only three out of the seven main prophecies of God's plan have been fulfilled so far.

That means, most of them haven't happened yet.

Answer to the question as worded:While some New Testament prophecy is yet to be fulfilled, according to scripture, ALL the Old Testament prophecies about Jesus "came true."

Luke 18:31 - Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be accomplished."

Luke 21:22 - "For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled."

John 19:28 - After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I thirst!"

Acts 3:18 - "But those things which God foretold by the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled."

Answer 2

Not many prophecies in The Bible have been found to be false in the literal sense, because there are few actual prophecies in the Bible. Pious Christians have 'found' hundreds of prophecies in the Bible, some of which are supposedly yet to be fulfilled but, looked at objectively, the alleged prophecies never seem to say what they are claimed to say.

Perhaps the best known Christian prophecy is said to occur in Isaiah 7:14 says that a virgin would conceive and bear a child, because the Gospel of Matthew relies on this as evidence that the virginity of Mary had been prophesied. Isaiah 7:14, in the original Hebrew, actually says, "the young woman", and the young woman in question did have a child a few verses later in Isaiah. The problem arose in Matthew's reliance on a mistranslation in the Septuagint, a flawed early Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures. Even if the Septuagint was not really a translation error, it still would not refer to Jesus, because it never mentions his name, that of Mary nor anything that could realistically identify them. If it were true, it could as easily refer to some future Messiah or to an IVF (in vitro fertilisation) patient of the twenty-first century. But it is a false prophecy, although not in the Hebrew Bible.

A genuinely false prophecy, that should have been fulfilled by around the middle of the first century, can be found in Mark's Gospel. Chapter 13 tells us that the world will end during the lifetimes of those then still living, with Jesus prophesying the end of the world and his own return on clouds of glory. Jesus told his listeners that they would see the great buildings destroyed, and the abomination of desolation, followed by the Son of man coming in clouds of glory, and that this would take place during their own generation. Mark 9:1 foreshadows the fuller account in chapter 13, saying that some of those who stand here will not taste death until they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
