prophecies and fulfillment according to bible

[gospel 0]

ee how crystal clear the bible is, there was a Prophet called Daniel who worked as a Chief Minister for the great king Nebuchadnezzar (The Creator of the falling garden in Babylon - One of the server world wonder, His time was around 1000 BC as per the historical records). I am just giving the bible versus bellow (If you have a bible please read Daniel 2: 1 - 49)

 

 

"Now in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was troubled and his sleep left him. Then the king gave orders to call in the magicians (Nobody was able to reveal so finally Daniel)

 

25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus to him, I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah, who will make known to the king the interpretation.

 

26 The king answered Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and its interpretation?

 

27 Daniel answered before the king, and said, The secret which the king has demanded can neither wise men, enchanters, magicians, nor soothsayers, show to the king;

 

28 but there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head on your bed, are these:

 

29 as for you, O king, your thoughts came into your mind on your bed, what should happen hereafter; and he who reveals secrets has made known to you what shall happen.

 

30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart.

 

31 You, O king, saw, and behold, a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before you; and its aspect was awesome.

 

32 As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass,

 

33 its legs of iron, its feet part of iron, and part of clay.

 

34 You saw until a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.

 

35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them: and the stone that struck the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

 

36 This is the dream; and we will tell its interpretation before the king.

 

37 You, O king, are king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory;

 

38 and wherever the children of men dwell, the animals of the field and the birds of the sky has he given into your hand, and has made you to rule over them all: you are the head of gold.

 

39 After you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you; and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

 

40 The fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, because iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things; and as iron that crushes all these, shall it break in pieces and crush.

 

41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, because you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.

 

42 As the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

 

43 Whereas you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not cling to one another, even as iron does not mingle with clay.

 

44 In the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

 

45 Because you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God has made known to the king what shall happen hereafter: and the dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.

 

46 Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, and worshiped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an offering and sweet odors to him.

 

47 The king answered to Daniel, and said, Of a truth your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing you have been able to reveal this secret.

 

48 Then the king made Daniel great, and gave him many great gifts, and made him to rule over the whole province of Babylon, and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon

 

 

 

In Nutshell The statue represents the order goverments

 

1. Gold head is "Babylon - Nebuchadnezzar"

2. Silver Arms "Medo and Percia" (This is a history that after the fall of Babylon the kingdom was divided in to two by Medians and Percians)

3. Brass belly (“Greeks" - Alexander the great captured almost the whole earth on 320 BC)

4. Iron ("Romans" - This was happened during the time of Christ, Rome ruled the earth )

5. Iron and Mud (Referring the EU (European Union) which a combination of multiple European Countries, currently EU countries had unique currency (Euro - We foretold this 20 years back from the references of Daniel), Free Immigration. The next step is One Army, Then and 'Anti Christ' Will arise from EU , He will be a atheist and make a covenant between Israel and Palestine for sever years, In middle of seven years that 3.5 Years Israel will withdraw the covenant so all the world countries will announce war against Israel, The Christians will suffer for 3.5 years (lot of mass killings and worshipping Christ will be declared as a crime) then Jesus Christ will come (Which refers as a " stone was cut out without hands" on verse 34 , Also refers the Jesus is not man maid) and fight for Christians that is the end of everything, So it is very close may be with in next 50 years

 

My dear friends see, how clear and crisp it is. We were telling these facts for the long time that is before EU and Euro.

[theist 1]

Countries come and go. So do worlds, So do galaxies and universes. So what's new?

 

Here is a question I am interested in. What is the nature of the self? In otherwords who are we?

 

Please be specific. Describe the soul, the Supersoul(God) and the relationship between the two.

 

Provide the answers from the Bible. When you are done I will provide the answers according to the Bhagavad-gita and Srimad Bhagavatam.

 

For you see we are interested in eternal knowledge not knowledge of this temporary world which is destined to pass us by like a dream in the night.

 

Your turn.

[theist 1]

Must be dinner time for our guest. Hope he is living on the diet prescribed in Genesis chapter one, which was VEGAN.

 

Anyway no alternative topics until guest answers my questions about the specific nature of the soul.

[armisael108 0]

You got me curious and decided to try to find for our guest some of the answers in the Bible. I'll admit it is not easy.

 

Relationship between God and soul: Romans 8.5:

"Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires."

 

Romans 8.13:

"For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live,"

 

The only reason I can quote these 2 on the sambanda is because I know of Vedic answers. The body is dead and the soul is alive, sinful activities are when one is pleasing himself and not pleasing God. Our nature to be with Spirit is to please God and 'live' in the true sense.

 

Next reply will contain a description of God.

 

Haribol!!

[armisael108 0]

Now description of God from Solomon in Songs of Solomon:

 

1st

3 Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes;

your name is like perfume poured out.

No wonder the maidens love you!

10 Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings,

your neck with strings of jewels.

2nd

9 My lover is like a gazelle or a young stag.

4th

Your eyes behind your veil are doves.

Your hair is like a flock of goats

descending from Mount Gilead.

2 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn,

coming up from the washing.

Each has its twin;

not one of them is alone.

3 Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon;

your mouth is lovely.

Your temples behind your veil

are like the halves of a pomegranate.

4 Your neck is like the tower of David,

built with elegance

 

And the best of all in the 5th

10 My lover is radiant and ruddy,

outstanding among ten thousand.

11 His head is purest gold;

his hair is wavy

and black as a raven.

12 His eyes are like doves

by the water streams,

washed in milk,

mounted like jewels.

13 His cheeks are like beds of spice

yielding perfume.

His lips are like lilies

dripping with myrrh.

14 His arms are rods of gold

set with chrysolite.

His body is like polished ivory

decorated with sapphires.

15 His legs are pillars of marble

set on bases of pure gold.

His appearance is like Lebanon,

choice as its cedars.

16 His mouth is sweetness itself;

he is altogether lovely.

This is my lover, this my friend,

O daughters of Jerusalem.

 

Now ever since I was young I always thought that it is a form of God that is described, but never got around asking any Catholic priest about it. I may be wrong and this lover described here may be a normal person.

[gospel 0]

Hi,

God is ONE, ONLY ONE but he had three forms

 

GOD himself (Jehova)

Jesus Christ(God in Flesh)

Holy Sprit (Sprint of God)

 

John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God"

 

Word measn Jesus Christ..

 

Thanks

 

The Prophecies in bible are not wage as it was in Geeta, It is clear and releted to the current activities like Middle-east peace process

[gospel 0]

What is the question here??

[theist 1]

gospel read the second post for the questions.

 

The song of Solomen is so beautiful. The desciption of the palestinian girl waiting for her lover who comes to her door, knocks and then goes away, which leaves her frantic in her search for him will remind devotees of how Krsna(God)

causes the soul to increse its desire for Him by inspiring feelings of deep and desperate separation.

 

I have long wanted someone devotee with an understanding of rasa to offer commentary on it as a gift to the Christian world. I would love to hear that.

[armisael108 0]

What is the question here??

******

 

I wasn't exactly asking a question, I wasn't too sure if the description I gave from the Songs of Solomon were description of God or some mundane lover.

 

I was simply trying to anwer Theist's question on description of God from the Bible.

[Guest guest]

I don't understand where Krishna came into picture BTW did you misspelled as Krsna?

[theist 1]

gospel,

 

What do you think of armisaels quotes from the Bible? I thought they were very nice.

 

Hare Krsna

[Guest guest]

YES Bible quotes are always nice as they are true and Gods word..Do yiu have any such crystal clear Prophecys in Geeta?

[theist 1]

Krsna (God) is always in the picture.

 

Krsna can be spelled as Krishna or Krsna. I most often use Krsna as that is how I first learned it but do sometimes spell as Krishna. Krishna or Krsna, the name is the same.

 

Hare Krsna

[theist 1]

Yes there are prophecies in the Indian texts. The Gita was spoken right before a battle, between two opposing armies, and was really Krsna(God) showing Arjuna why he should surrender his will to His will in love.

 

Similar to the garden of Gethsemane where Jesus said "not my will but Thy will be done". That is really the essence of Krsna consciousness or God consciousness if you prefer.

 

 

In such a setting prophecies would have been out of place. But there are prophecies in the Srimad-Bhagavatam about the nature of this age on Earth, up to the timetables concerning universal destruction and reconstitution.

 

 

I don't know to much about these things. Others here do though.

 

For sure the future holds for us all the experience of our own death. When we, the soul, will be forced out of our earthly bodies. That is the one that most concerns me at the moment.

 

So what does the bible teach on the nature of the soul?

[I_love_krishna_ 0]

Hey! I love your post here, because the later posts replying this post show many similarities between Gita and Bible.

 

It is no suprise really, because the truth is the one reality, but still it is good to read such things.

 

Thank you people

 

May God have mercy on your souls /images/graemlins/smile.gif - not supposed to sound negative.

[Guest guest]

Tell me if any crystal clear proof as in Bible..All most all the religious text has these Wars and Fights are end of the world but bible is clear and specific because it a word of God..(I have much more from bible)

[AncientMariner 0]

 

 

 

Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 1, Ch. 3 text 25

 

 

"Thereafter, at the conjunction of two yugas, the Lord of the creation will take His birth as the Kalki incarnation and become the son of Visnu Yasa. At this time the rulers of the earth will have degenerated into plunderers."

 

 

The Kali-yuga lasts 432,000 years of which we have passed only 5,000 years after the Battle of Kuruksetra and the end of the regime of King Pariksit. So in 427,000 years the Lord is going to incarnate as the Kalki Avatar and kill all the demons on the Earth.

 

 

Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 1 Ch. 3 text 26

 

 

"O brahmanas, the incarnations of the Lord are innumerable, like rivulets flowing from inexhaustible sources of water."

[theist 1]

Well I guess I will have to assume that the Bible has very little direct information on the nature of the soul. Too bad, because that is my interest.

 

The Srimad Bhagavatam predict the appearance of Lord Buddha some 2,600 years before he came. Where he would be born what his mother's name would be and what province he would be born in.

 

Also if you go here http://vedabase.net/ and look up Srimad Bhagavatam click on it, scroll down to canto 12, you will find some prophecies on the nature of this age.

 

Also there is a prediction that at the end of this age an incarnation of God, whom they call Kalki will appear on a white horse, with sword, to kill the demonic rulers. Sound familiar from reading Revelations?

 

But we know already the fate of all these planets stars and moons. The time will come when they will all fall from the sky. They are all just temporary props meant to give us the impression that this universe is our real home. But it's just a dream stage. A mirage. Atoms and molecules rearranging themselves in endless combinations. Real but temporary with no real substance.

 

Krsna devotees are interested in the world of reality. The eternal substantial world. The Kingdom of God where there is no need of artifical lighting from the sun and moon. Where all light comes from the spiritual form of God Himself.

 

That is the world that Jesus Christ comes from to this world of darkness. He comes as an ambassador and savior to take us back there. If you are his disciple then you are in good hands.

Well said Theist.

[Guest guest]

So according to Geeta the end of earth is not near? so it is differing from bible right?

[theist 1]

Of course knowing these things can be useful in some ways. And prophesies that are directly connected to an appearance of God or His servant, or Their activities are important. I understand Christ was prophesied in the old testament.

 

But in terms of ordinary things of this world, what the constellation will be of the countries in Europe etc. there is little need to stress these things.

 

From the New Teatament:

 

1 Corinthians 13

 

Love

 

1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

 

2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

 

3 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

 

5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

 

6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

 

7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

 

9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

 

10 but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.

 

11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

 

12 Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

 

--------------------

 

And the greatest love is that which is pure and offered to the Lord and then to all other living beings.

[Guest guest]

You are going very away from the topic. My symbol question is why these two diffrent holy books Bible and Geeta (as per you) are differing each other, That means one is holy and another is not right?

[theist 1]

If a parent has five children to raise and there ages range from say 5 to 16 years of age, it is natural that he will give them different instructions according to their level of understanding and competentcy. Right?

 

The five year old he may say "don't go outside of the yard to play." The 12 year old may get an instruction that its ok to visit a friends house after school before going home. The 16 year old will get even more freedom.

 

Same with religion. As we get more mature in God realization we will get different levels of instruction.

 

I sense you are almost desparate to argue. Sorry, I choose not to accomodate that desire.

 

Jesus said the greatest commandment is to love God with all you heart strength and mind and then to love your neighbor as yourself. We agree with this.

 

If you are not desirous of having a discussion rather than an arguement I will withdraw at this point.

 

All Glories to Lord Jesus Christ All Glories to Sri Krsna

THE SOON COMING CLIMAX

(BIBLE PROPHECY—PROOF THE BIBLE IS TRUE AND

WE ARE NOW IN THE LATTER DAYS) and HOW TO BE SAVED

(A brief summary)

 

This message may be called a road sign of warning. Some may look at a sign that reads—THE BRIDGE IS OUT, and say, "Oh, someone is just trying to scare us into taking another road; let’s go on the same way." They go on and plunge to their death. The sign was not meant to scare people, but to warn them of impending danger. The sign was put there, because someone cared and didn’t want others to perish.

God wants you to know, WHEN YOU SEE THESE THINGS COME TO PASS (the prophecies from the Bible in this message), KNOW YE THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NIGH AT HAND-Lk 21:31.

 

Will Russia and some Arab nations invade Israel and the U.S.A. become involved? Yes.

 

Will 1/4th of the world’s population die? Yes.

 

Will there be a one-world system or global economy? Yes.

 

Will diseases increase such as AIDS? Yes.

 

Did you know the Bible tells us about what is happening?

 

 

WHAT IS GOING ON?

 

People have said the end was near many times in the past—true. But did you know the Bible shows us no prophecy of the latter days meant anything until Israel was reborn into a nation? Did you know God’s Word indicates to us a generation would not pass from Israel’s rebirth, till all be fulfilled (which includes the Rapture, the Tribulation, and Jesus Christ’s return)? A Jewish generation can be figured from the age of 20.

 

Many people have been preaching about the latter days of the end times in churches, on radio, TV, and through books and magazines. Some include Billy Graham, Hal Lindsey, Ray Brubaker, John Hagee, David Breese, Zola Levitt, Jack Van Impe, Peter Lalonde, and Tim LaHaye just to mention a few. To those that understand the Bible, no explanation is needed. To those that are prideful, self-centered, that love this world, that despise God’s correction, that are contentious or seeking the praise of men rather than of God, no explanation is possible-ref Dan 12:4, 10; Mt 24:37, 39.

 

It has been said that it is virtually impossible for anyone to make 11 straight predictions, 2000 years into the future. There is only one chance in 8 x 10 to the 63rd power, or 80 with 63 zeros after it that such a thing could be done. If such a set of predictions existed, it would have to be the Word of God.

 

Consider, could you write eleven straight predictions that would take place in the year 4000 A.D.? Include the rebirth of a specific nation and exactly how it would be reborn. Include specific nations that would exist and certain nations that would be allied together, and the exact size of a nation’s army. Include what the people and church would be like. Also include the names of actual cities and name certain crops and fruit trees that would exist. Do eleven straight prophecies and be exactly correct on every single one. The Bible not only does this eleven times, but hundreds of times with absolute, perfect accuracy. If this is so, even the most skeptical person (that is truthful) would have to agree that there is indeed a God and the Bible has to be His Word. 2 Pet 1:20,21-KNOWING THIS FIRST, THAT NO PROPHECY OF THE SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION. FOR THE PROPHECY CAME NOT IN OLD TIME BY THE WILL OF MAN: BUT HOLY MEN OF GOD SPAKE AS THEY WERE MOVED BY THE HOLY GHOST. O FOOLS, AND SLOW OF HEART TO BELIEVE ALL THAT THE PROPHETS HAVE SPOKEN-Lk 24:25. However, believing there is a God and acknowledging the Bible is the Word of God does not save a person. A person needs to admit they are a sinner, repent, and receive Jesus Christ as their only hope of being saved. This is done by faith (or trust).

 

Let's prove the Bible is true and we are nearing the end of the last generation before Christ returns.

 

1. The Jewish people would be scattered worldwide; yet Israel would become a nation again after a long time and at a time the Bible calls the "latter days"-ref Isa 66:8; Mic 5:3; Ezek 38:8. Against what appeared to be impossible odds, this prophecy has been fulfilled. It happened as predicted on May 14, 1948 after about 2500 years. That’s 1 out of 1.

Note: Israel was destroyed in approximately 721 B.C. and Judah about 135 years later. Since that time, approximately fourteen different peoples have possessed the land of Israel. Yet as the Bible said, the nation of Israel would be reborn.

The rebirth of Israel was a key sign, indicating we had entered a time period called the "latter days." It was the beginning of a countdown leading to the Tribulation and culminating with the Battle of Armageddon and the return of Jesus. Along with the fulfillment of this crucial event are over 360 prophecies that would all come together, so we might recognize that the Tribulation is very close at hand. Some of these are listed here.

Yet the Bible foretells that most people would not believe these things, despite the overwhelming evidence of the signs from God’s Word being fulfilled exactly as predicted. As people refused to believe the flood was coming in Noah’s time, so people today willingly choose to disregard the signs of the times.

 

2. Israel shall be brought forth in one day, at once-ref Isa 66:8. Prophecy fulfilled-May 14, 1948. That’s 2 out of 2.

Note: On Nov. 29, 1947, the General Assembly of the U.N. approved a resolution calling for the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. On the morning of May 14, 1948 (the last day of the British mandate), a meeting of the People’s Council took place in Israel to decide on the name of the state and to finalize the declaration. At precisely 4 pm, the proclamation ceremony began at the Tel Aviv museum. The 979 Hebrew words of the Scroll of Independence were read. All stood, and the scroll was adopted. The notorious White Paper, issued by the British in 1930 restricting Jewish immigration, was declared null and void. Members of the People’s Council signed the proclamation. David Ben-Gurion rapped his gavel, declaring, "The State of Israel is established. This meeting is ended." Israel was brought forth as a nation in one day, at once, exactly as predicted. At midnight, the British soldiers and high commissioner would leave. President Truman was swift in announcing U.S. recognition of Israel. The following morning, on May 15, Israel was under attack by the Egyptian, Syrian, Lebanese, Jordanian, and Iraqi forces.

 

3. Israel would be brought forth (or reborn) "out of the nations"-Ezek 38:8. Prophecy fulfilled-May 14, 1948. That’s 3 out of 3.

Note: As previously stated, on Nov. 29, 1947, the General Assembly of the "United Nations" approved a resolution calling for the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. This prophecy was perfectly fulfilled. Consider, for centuries the land of Israel had been occupied by many nations. Israel was "brought forth out of the nations"—the children of Israel from many nations have been returning to their ancient homeland.

 

4. Israel must regain the city of Jerusalem-Joel 2:32; Isa 28:14; Ezek 22:19. This happened just as predicted in 1967. That’s 4 out of 4.

Note: The Bible gives us two methods so we would know the time we are in. One is by Israel’s rebirth. The other, by a precise line of events that would all come together at one time. Israel was reborn on May 14th, 1948. The Bible indicates that from Israel’s rebirth a generation would not pass till all be fulfilled. We are not setting any date; however, it seems clear from Israel’s rebirth and the signs of the times— that we are living in the generation in which the Rapture and Tribulation will come and catch most people by surprise. Are you ready?

 

5. The Christian church at the time of the end would be lukewarm, neither cold nor hot for Jesus. Prophecy fulfilled. That’s 5 out of 5.

Note: God will spew them out. Many ministers and people that call themselves a Christian will not be going to heaven. The Bible tells us—you have acquired wealth, but your true condition is wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked and you don’t know it-Rev 3:14-22. This is today’s church. Most preachers use little Scripture, but lots of worldly stories. Many sing a great deal, but put little emphasis on repentance, obeying, serving, and fearing God, on the fruits of the Spirit, Bible prophecy, water baptism by immersion, and studying your Bible faithfully every day. Many are only entertainment centers that teach what their members want to hear. Many (so-called Christians) are so lukewarm or dead, they don’t even bring their Bibles with them to the house of God. Some famous ministers and Bible schools think this is the best church age ever, yet the Bible clearly shows it is the worst and most deceived.

 

6.

The Bible gives us over 50 descriptions about the people at the time of the end. These fit the

people of today perfectly, but did not fit the people of fifty years ago. Here are some:

 

A.

 

Some would depart from the faith and go into devil worship-1 Tim 4:1. This is perfect.

 

 

B. People would mock about the last days and not believe-2 Pe 3:3; Jude 18.

C.

 

People would become lovers of themselves-2 Tim 3:1,2. Remember the TV commercials—"I do it for me"?

 

D. People would be disobeying their parents-2 Tim 3:1,2.

 

E. People would be grateful for nothing-2 Tim 3:1,2.

F. Homosexuality would increase-Lk 17:28,30; ref Gen 19:5; Ro 1:24,26,27.

G.

 

People would be without self-control in sex-2 Tim 3:1,2,6; Rev 9:21, Lk 17:28,30; Jude 7. Is this not the great sex generation?

 

H.

 

 

 

People would love pleasures more than God-2 Tim 3:1,2,4. This is true. Shall we go on a picnic, watch football, or sleep. Church?—we can go another time. Our American motto "In God we trust" has become a joke. Remember, these were all predicted centuries ago as part of the signs that we are at the time of the end.

 

 

I.

 

 

 

 

 

 

People would be taking drugs-Rev 9:21. The Greek word for sorceries, in Rev 9:21, means pharmaceuticals or drugs. God’s Word is 100% right on every one. That’s 6 out of 6. How could you have any doubts at this point?

Note: Fifty years ago, many people seldom locked their doors at night. There was little or no profanity on television, radio, or in the movies. One of the biggest problems in public school was gum chewing. Those days are long gone.

 

 

 

7. There would be weapons that could destroy the world-Mk 13:20; Rev 6:8; Rev 9:18; Zech 14:8,12. Incredibly, this prophecy was written in the days of spears and arrows, yet today it is true. That’s 7 out of 7.

Note: It is estimated that the combined nuclear arsenals of the USA and Russia (as of the year 2002) could kill every living thing on earth 6 times over.

 

8. The Gospel must be published in all the world-Mk 13:10. This seemingly impossible prophecy was written when there was no printing press, but today it is true. That's 8 out of 8.

Note: In this last generation, to our knowledge, the Gospel is being published (or is about to be published) in the primary language of every nation of the world or "among all nations." In addition, the Gospel is available by short-wave radio nearly everywhere in the world.

 

9. In the "latter days" when Israel was once again a nation, there would be a great military power to the extreme north of Israel in the land of Magog (which is modern-day Russia)-Ezek 38:2-4,8,15,16. Incredible. That’s 9 out of 9.

Note: How could the Bible have foretold the location of this nation, facts about its military, and even the time period it would come to pass? As was already said in Lk 24:25-O FOOLS, AND SLOW OF HEART TO BELIEVE ALL THAT THE PROPHETS HAVE SPOKEN.

 

10. There would be a nation to the far east of Israel, to the end of the earth. This nation would have an army of 200 million. This is astounding. How could the Bible have told the location of a nation and given such a huge figure regarding the size of its army nearly 2000 years ago? China has boasted that they could field an army of this exact figure. That’s 10 out of 10.

 

11. There would be an economic alliance of the nations of the Old Roman Empire. It would have a military capability. This is an exact description of the European Economic Community today (the EEC), which has already adopted the one-currency system for many of their member nations. It is written, IN THE DAYS OF THESE KINGS (these nations, which is now) SHALL THE GOD OF HEAVEN SET UP A KINGDOM-Dan 2:44. That’s 11 out of 11. We have just reached the point that seemed impossible—11 perfect predictions made thousands of years ago—with God nothing is impossible. Certainly, at this point, even the biggest skeptic should see the Bible is true, there is a God, and we are nearing the time of the end.

 

About 22 prophecies in 11 sets have been given, all perfect and all written centuries ago. The chance that any person could do this 2000 years into the future is not possible. The Bible is the Word of God, and we have just proved it. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Repent and get baptized by full immersion. Read and obey the Gospel. God loves you. He is not willing that any should perish, yet many do. The Rapture is close. Most people are not ready and will not be taken. However, "YOU" cannot say you did not know. Know and understand, Mt 16:26-WHAT IS A MAN PROFITED, IF HE SHALL GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD, AND LOSE HIS OWN SOUL? OR WHAT SHALL A MAN GIVE IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS SOUL? (Note: The Encyclopedia of Bible Prophecy has the complete list of 365 prophecies.)
