Prophecy Explorer

It would be interesting to see a "Prophecy Explorer" interactive resource that would go through the various prophecies of the Bible (such as those in Daniel and Revelation), include links to resources where we can gain more interpretative information on them, as well as categorize them into different categories (fulfilled and not yet fulfilled as well as base those categories on the different interpretative methods of the books, etc), which ones dealt with Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, etc.

Thanks!

Have you seen the Prophecy Knowledge Handbook by John F. Walvoord. He discussed all the prophecies in the Bible and their fulfillment. He has an appendix that list the prophecies and their fulfillments.

Is there sufficient consensus to make this feasible? I ask only because I've seen a number of very odd but amusing interpretations ... and don't have sufficient interest to research how far they are from a consensus.

I have not, and seems I don't have it yet. Might just have to pick that one up. Thanks!

A lot of the "odd" and "amusing" interpretations would probably not be included in such a dataset. Mainly center it around "major" interpretative areas. For example, Revelation could be broken down into preterite, idealist, futurist, etc., as well as pre-mil, a-mil, etc. It wouldn't necessarily tag every interpretative measure out there, but give people an overview of the various prophecies throughout Scripture, if they have been fulfilled or not, where they're located in Scripture, and a brief survey of the major interpretive areas. Those wanting more in-depth could open commentaries, etc.

Ah, with this clarification it seems doable and interesting.

Have you seen the Book Revelation 4 views by Steve Gregg? He goes through the book of Revelation and gives the various interpretations side by side. https://www.logos.com/product/2271/revelation-four-views

I would think that these books could add something to it:

I would think that some of these short books and pamphlet's could be used to build a nice database and a good starting place for a prophecy explorer.

You could categorize them around such topics as Prophecies fulfilled:

in the Christmas story

from Palm Sunday to Easter

Christ in the Old Testament

Etc... These are just some suggestions that I hope would be helpful. I personally think that a tool like this would be very nice for any bible student.
