How Much Of The Bible Is Prophecy
A young pastor commented to a former seminary professor that he didn't preach on prophecy because "prophecy distances people form the present." His professor replied, "Then there certainly is a lot opf distraction in the Scriptures!"
Few people have any idea just how much of the Bible is prophetic in nature. The following statistics shed some light on the matter.
Total verses in the Bible
31,124
Total Number of Predictions In the
in the OT
1,239
Total Number of OT Verses That
Contain Predictions
6,641 out of 23,210
Percent of the OT That is Prophecy
28.5%
Total Number of Predictions in the NT
578
Total Number of NT Predictions that Contain Predictions
1,711 out of 7,914
Percent of the NT that is Prophecy
21.5%
Total Number of Separate Prophetic Topics in the Bible
737
Total Percent of the Bible That Is Prophecy
27%
So if 27% of the bible is prophecy, it would seem unwise to disregard it.
