According the the source I believe, the actual prophecies of Jesus of Nazareth are consistent with the prophecies in the Hebrew Torah and Tanakh, especially the book of Isaiah.
The actual prophecies of Isaiah and Jesus have nothing to do with a literal "second coming," or "rapture," or "final holy war." And the person who fulfills the prophecies is not Jesus himself. He is a servant of God, from our midst, of our brethren, and a prophet who, like Jacob, struggles with God.
In an article Prophecies Re: He Who Fulfills Them there are many prophecies quoted and clarified, and there are several supporting articles including Isaiah Chapter 53, About Christianity, The Second Coming Story, The Virgin Birth Story, The Resurrection Story, The Martyrdom of Jesus, The Rapture Myth, and others.
To give you an idea, here are just a couple of quotes, with explanations from the article.
"The days will come when people will want to see one of the days of the son of man, and they shall not see it. So they will look here and there, but do not follow them. For as the lightning lightens all parts under heaven, so shall also the [work of the] son of man be in his day. But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected by his generation." (Luke 17:20-25)
The article on Prophecies states that Jesus was not speaking of himself in that instance, because Jesus suffered only on the last day of his life, not first or beforehand, but only after he had completed his mission. Furthermore, Jesus was accepted by multitudes of Jews, Greeks and others in his generation. Even the impartial Jewish historian Flavius Josephus reported that.
And, even if Jesus may have used the term “this generation” (as was reported in Luke), that term was used in several different instances referring not to that generation but ours, the generation of the modern son of man who comes at the end of the age Jesus ushered in.
It also says that with correct understanding of the prophets, including Jesus, you can see that Jesus was speaking of the next son of man whose message (work) is sent before him and can be seen in a flash, like lightning, all over the world (over the Internet).
Isaiah 42:1-4: "Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delights; I have put my spirit upon him, he shall make the right to go forth to the nations. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the dimly burning wick shall he not quench. He shall make the right to go forth according to the truth. He shall not fail nor be crushed, till he have set the right in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his teaching."
The article on Prophecies notes that many Christians believe that too speaks of Jesus because Matthew 12:19 claims it does. But it clearly does not. That is one of many blatant errors in the official Christian canon.
It speaks of the modern son of man, because Jesus did rise up as a teacher-orator. He did cry out to make his voice heard on many occasions, and he certainly did cause his voice to be heard in the street. Even Matthew 4:25 states: "Great multitudes followed Him, from Galilee, and from Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan." Matthew 13:14 states: "Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns." Luke 14:25 states that: "Great multitudes went with him, and he turned to them and said..."
Those are but a few parts of the story of Jesus that make it very clear that he spoke to the multitudes who followed him during his travels on foot, on the roads and streets.
Remember, Jesus warned of hypocrites, false shepherds and false prophets. He said they would be deceiving even the "elect." He said the hypocrites would be claiming that they are doing "many wonderful works in the name of the Lord" when they actually lead their blind flocks astray.
But the truth will come out. The truth will prevail. But first it will be rejected and fought tooth and nail.
