The Biblical Predictions in the Order of Their Fulfillments

J. Barton Payne1

The number at the left (Col. 1) indicates sequence, the order of actual fulfillment. Next comes a brief state- ment of the prediction (Col. 2), followed by the Biblical book or books in which it occurs, together with its assigned number (based on the order of appearance) as a prophecy in each book. If an asterisk (*) is added after a given book and number, it designates that reference as containing the primary discussion, to which cross reference is made in the listings that appear in the other, generally later books. Then come the total number of Biblical books in which the prophecy appears (Col. 3) and the total number of full verses devoted to it (Col. 4). As an example, the Bible’s second prophesied event (2.) to attain fulfillment was Noah’s deluge (the flood). The forecasts of it are described in the preceding pages at three points: in Genesis (Gen), as the eleventh prophecy (No. 11) of that book, in Hebrews as its forty-second prophecy (Heb 42), and in Jude as its fifth (Jude 5). In these three (3) books, it occupies eight (8) full verses. [Known dates appear highlighted in yellow.]

He will do so like Melchizedek (type: Me1chizedek’s priesthood), *Gen 27, Heb 22 2 1 477. He will be a priest “after the order [= manner] of Melchizedek,” *Ps 55, Heb 14 2 8 478.

4 Cf. Gen 6 (No. 88, above), though at that point the revelation of the Edenic testament is not in typical form. There its structure is that of a simple, though figurative prophecy. One finds neither the term b’rīth (as in the Noachian testament) nor the typifying of Christ’s death through the use of dismembered animals (as in the Abrahamic). 511.
