The number at the left ( Column 1 ) indicates sequence, the order of actual fulfillment. Next comes a brief state-ment of the prediction ( Column 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 [before] 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 ( Column 3 ) and the total number of full verses devoted to it ( Column 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. … A few of these predictions … are marked by a developmental fulfillment…. [Known dates appear highlighted in yellow.]

1 Since a few of these predictions ( listed on p. 136, above ) are marked by a developmental fulfillment and are therefore listed under more than one period, the total of all the predictive verses of Scripture is noted separately under the Statistical Appendix.
