[Jacob]

When you read the Bible do you see fulfillment of prophecy in History? It is important not to think that there is a fulfillment of prophecy when there is not.

Jesus prophesied in the Olivet Discourse.
His prophecy was fulfilled in 70 CE.

Matthew 24:1-2 1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.​

Yes and there more fulfilment to come.

Yes and there more fulfilment to come.

Do you start with prophecy and its fulfillment in and according to scripture? Some history is not found in the scriptures.

I look at which prophesy's have and haven't been fulfilled.

I would say most history is not in scripture. Biblical history is only concerned with God's people.
