How many prophecies are there in the Bible?

Question: How many prophecies are there in the Bible?

Response: There are about 1,800 prophecies in the Bible, according to two sources:

• Grant Jeffrey, in his book, "The Signature of God," concludes that: "The Bible contains 1,817 individual predictions concerning 737 separate subjects found in 8,352 verses. These numerous predictions comprise 27 percent of the 31,124 verses in the whole of the Scriptures. Multitudes of Biblical scholars over the last 2000 years have explored many of these prophecies and their detailed fulfillments, as proven by ample historical evidence."

• The "Encyclopedia of Biblical Prophecy," by J. Barton Payne, also uses the 1,817 figure, breaking it down with 1,239 prophecies in the Old Testament and 578 prophecies in the New Testament.
