False Prophesy
Christians believes that the Previous scriptures has prophesied on the Jesus' advent. New Testament also affirm it. Elias should come before the Christ.
And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes the E-li'as must first come?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, E-li'as truly shall first come, and restore all things.
But I say unto you, that E-li'as is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of Man suffer of them.
Then the disciples understood that he spoke unto them John the Baptist. (Mathew17:10-13)And if ye will receive it, this is E-li'as, which was to come,
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. (Mathew 11:14)
Before the advent of Jesus, Elias should come. Jesus declares that Elias had already come and that was John the Baptist. So we can conclude that this prophesy was fulfilled. But another part of the New Testament refutes this.
And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou ?
And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
And they asked him, What then? Art thou E-li'as? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. (John 1:19-22)
Please note the Contradiction! Jesus calls John the Baptist as Elias in order to prove that he was the Christ. Unfortunately John the Baptist denied that he was not Elias. Still you believe that these two contradicting statements can be the word of God.
If John the Baptist was Elias, then why did he denied it? Moreover the Elias' duty is to restore all things and make the path easy for the Christ. Only this prophesy stopped the people from accepting Jesus. If John the Baptist called himself Elias, then the people would have easily accepted Jesus as Christ.
At the same time we could not accuse John the Baptist of lying. Because Jesus has said that,
This is whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me, for he was before me (John 1:30)
Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist : not withstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater then he. (Mathew 11:11)
Jesus admits that he is the best in born of women, so the John the Baptist will not lie.
If we accept John the Baptist's verdict that he was not the Elias, then Jesus would have lied (God forbid) to his people. Jesus was not Christ and in order to get the people he had lied or used John the Baptist name by calling John as Elias.
Christians neither call Jesus a liar nor the John the Baptist. If they call , Christianity will start to tremble. Though the Christians will not dare to call like that, but at the same time they cannot stop the Bible calls them the Liar.
One thing is crystal clear that human hands have played a greater role in the Bible.
There are more biblical prophecies which Christians claims to be referring to Jesus . but its not.

| Who prophesied the potter's field? | Acts
1:18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity;
and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels
gushed out. Act 1:19 And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Acelda ma, that is to say, The field of blood. Mathew 27:6 And the chief
priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put
them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. |
Matthew 27:9-10 (mentions Jeremy but no such verse in Jeremiah) It is in Zechariah 11:12-13 |

Christ's coming - . |
Moses
was a prophet who foretold Christ's coming (e.g. Acts 7:37) but was not
killed - Deut 34:5,8; David was also a prophet (Acts 2:25,30), but he also died naturally |
| Thirty pieces | Zechariah
11:12-13 Mentions "thirty pieces" and could possibly be
thought to be connected with the Potter's Field prophesy referred to in
Matthew. |
Mathew 27:9 Jeremiah is given as the source of the prophesy regarding the purchase of the Potter's Field. (Note: There is no such prophesy in Jeremiah.) |
| The government was not on his shoulders, |
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called 'Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace'. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end. (Is 9:6-7)
|
This is supposed to be a prophecy foretelling the birth of Jesus. But does it? Other than being born no event mentioned here happened to Jesus. The government was not on his shoulders, he was never called nor did he call himself by the titles mentioned here and there has been no more peace since he was born than there was before. This is a fairly good example of the 'amazing prophecies' upon which Christianity is based. |
| Is Jesus a king | The Lord God will make him a king, as his ancestor David was, and he will be the king of the descendants of Jacob forever (Lk 1:32-33). | But if what the Bible says is true David could not possibly have been Jesus' ancestor because God, not Joseph, was Jesus' real father. Also David was a king in a political sense, while Jesus never became a king in this way or in any other way similar to David. Finally, the descendants of Jacob (i.e. the Jews) never accepted Jesus as their king - politically, spiritually or in any other way - and have refused to accept him as such even to this day. So as before this prophecy is wrong on every point. |
| Like a lamb | He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth. (Isa 53:3-5). | This is supposed to prophesy that when Jesus was attacked by his opponents he would not retaliate. But in the Gospels Jesus is portrayed as robustly defending himself against criticism and loudly condemning his enemies. He cursed and criticized the Pharisees when they opposed him and according to John 18:33-37 he was anything but silent at his trial |
| legs are broken | When the Romans crucified people they would nail them to a cross, let them hang there for some time and then finally break their legs, thereby increasing the poor victims' pain and killing them. According to the Bible, when the Romans came to break Jesus' legs he was already dead and so they did not bother (Jn 19:31-34). This, so Christians claim, is another remarkable example of biblical prophecy, for in Psalms (34:20) it says that God will not let even one bone of the Messiah's body be broken. | Unfortunately the Christians have overlooked a very important fact. Although the bones in Jesus legs may not have been broken, the bones in his feet definitely were. When the nails were driven into Jesus feet they must have broken or at least cracked one or several of the metacarpals. |
| For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly, so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth (Matt 12:40). | However, like most Christian prophecies, this is wrong. Jesus is supposed to have died on Friday (Good Friday) and risen from the dead early on Sunday morning Easter Sunday). Even a schoolchild can see this is not three days and three nights - but one day and two nights. Another problem is that just before Jesus died he turned to the two criminals crucified with him and said "I assure you, today you will be in Paradise with me." (Lk 23:43). So according to the prophecy Jesus would go to heaven three days after he died, according to the gospels he went to heaven two days after he died, and according to Jesus, own words he went to heaven on the day he died. But it is not just prophecies about Jesus that are wrong, the prophecies he himself made were also wrong. Christians are always claiming that the end of the world is coming soon. Where do they get this bizarre idea from? They get it from Jesus. He believed and explicitly taught that the world end within his own lifetime or very soon afterwards. | |
| I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened (Lk 21:25-33). |
By "this generation" he was obviously referring to the people he was addressing. On another occasion he again told the people who stood listening to him that some of them would still be alive when the end of the world came. I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom (Matt 16:28). When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly I say to you, you will not have gone through the towns of Israel, before the son of man comes. (Matt: 10.23) These and other examples prove that most of the supposed prophecies about Jesus and by him are false. But even where a prophecy seems to be true this does not necessarily mean anything. It can be demonstrated that whoever wrote the Gospels deliberately invented events in the life of Jesus to make them fit into supposed prophecies. We will examine one well-known example of this. Several hundred years before Jesus the Old Testament was translated from Hebrew into Greek, the language of the day. When a passage in Isaiah which says that the Messiah will be born of a young woman (Is 7:14) was translated, the word for young woman (almah) was mistranslated as virgin (pardhenas) changing the meaning of the prophecy considerably. When the authors of the Gospels read this they thought that to qualify to be the Messiah Jesus' mother had to be a virgin and so they fabricated the story of the virgin birth. In fact it only became necessary to invent this story because of a misunderstanding. So it is not that prophecies foretold events in Jesus' life but rather that events were fabricated to fit into prophecies. |
