It appears that Bible prophecy is little more than combinations of:
1. Plain made up crap that simply doesn't appear in the Bible as claimed.
Eg: "In two different places, then, New Testament writers claimed that the resurrection of the Messiah on the third day had been predicted in the scriptures. Try as they may, however, bibliolaters cannot produce an Old Testament passage that made this alleged third-day prediction. It simply doesn't exist" Source below.
2. Desperate and fraudulent attempts by New Testament writers to manufacture "phrophecies". Mathew was a particular shocker for this. And Luke.
Eg: "In the book of Acts, Luke twice resorted to this in his application of Psalm 16:8-10 in sermons allegedly preached by Peter and Paul (2:27-28; 13:35-36)". Source below.
3. Back written/vague phophetic nonsense.
Of course, fundamentalists always omit the extraordinarily long list of failed prophecies: prophecies that have not only failed to come true in the real world but also prophecies the Bible itself contradicts and denies, Eg: Yaweh's failed land promise.
There is a stack to look at here:
Farrell Till Prophecy » Internet InfidelsFrom Farrell Till (one of Christianities ex-converts)
Now let's never hear of this prophetic crap again.
