Somethin you might notta knew =P"Behold,the former things have come to pass,And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them." --Isaiah 42:9
101 Last Days Prophecies:
1) False Bible teachers would bring in heresies,have many followers,and cause others to reject God's Word (2 Peter 2:1-2) It is very common today to find people who reject the Bible out of hand because they have heard it misrepresented by a false teacher. 2) These false prophets would be money hungry,smooth talkers (2 Peter 2:3).A growing number of TV evangelists epitomize this.They twist the Scriptures,using misleading words,to make merchandise of you.
3) The Christian gospel would be preached as a witness to all nations (Matthew 24:14;Mark 13:10;Revelation 14:6).Today, portions of the Bible have been translated into over 2,300 languages and dialects covering over 90% of the world's population.
4) Global communications foreseen (Revelation 11:9-10;17:8). The Bible prophesies that the entire world will "see" certain events unfold. The invention of the television and the deployment of global satellite networks during the 20th century allow news to travel the world at the speed of light for the first time ever. Remember that in the apostle John's day,news traveled at the speed of horseback.
5) Mankind would be capable of destroying all life (Matthew 24:21-22). Consider that when Jesus made this prophecy the armaments of His day were swords and spears. But today,with nuclear,biological,and chemical weapons,it is possible to wipe out all flesh on planet earth.
6) The use of nuclear weapons anticipated (Zechariah 14:12). The neutron bomb melts (dissolves) its victims--just as God warned 2500 years ago-- "Their flesh shall disolve while they stand on their feet,Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths". This was unimaginable in Zechariah's day.
7) There would be a global cry for peace (1 Thessalonians 5:3). Never has there been such a concerted,global effort to bring about peace at any cost as there is today.
8) The Antichrist would use (false) peace to destroy many (Daniel 8:23-25). With all the problems facing mankind, multitudes are looking for a "savior" to usher in peace and prosperity without moral accountability. The Antichrist will promise the world and Israel such a peace if they follow him-- but his intentions will be sinister.
9) In the last days Israel would have a peace treaty in place that the Antichrist will confirm and eventually break (Daniel 9:27). Currently the world's governments are striving for an Israeli peace treaty.
10) Damascus would be destroyed (Isaiah 17:1,14;Jeremiah 49:23-27;Amos 1;3-5;Zechariah 9:1-8). Damascus,Syria is increasingly in the news and is extremely anti-Semitic. Many terrorist organizations have their bases in Damascus. God declares that they will become a ruinous heap because they have violently taken what is not theirs.
11) Chaotic weather would be prevalent (Luke 21:25-26). Jesus foresaw "the seas and the waves roaring" in the last days. He also likened these signs to birth pangs (Matthew 24:8). The Greek word odin,often translated as sorrows in Matthew 24:8,literally means birth pangs. Furthermore,the apostle Paul reminded us that creation itself will be delivered from the curse at the end of the age (Romans 8:21).And that "the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs" (Romans 8:22). As delivery draws near,birth pangs always increase in both intensity and frequency. Therefore,the creation itself would travail as the time of delivery draws near. Of course chaotic weather is not new,but there are indications that we are witnessing an increase in strange weather.
12) There would be a move toward a global government (Daniel 2:40-44; 7:23; Revelation 13:7-8). The former Roman Empire-which encompassed present-day Europe-would revive and eventually dominate the world. The European Union has steadily moved forward in its attempt to unite Europe politically and economically. It has succeeded in creating a European parliament,a court,and a common currency.
13) Literal Babylon (formerly called Babel - Genesis 10:10) would reemerge in the land of Shinar - known today as Iraq (Zechariah 5:11; Isaiah 13). Saddam Hussein spent over 20 years rebuilding the city of Babylon. Today,with Saddam's regime overthrown,the international community is discussing how to rebuild Iraq.
14) The fact that God once flooded the earth (the Noahic Flood) would be denied (2 Peter 3:5-6). There is a mass of fossil evidence to prove this fact,yet it is flatly ignored by most of the scientific world because it was judgement from God on man's wickedness.
15) Increased interest in vegetarianism anticipated (1 Timothy 4:3-4). The New Age movement has swept the globe during the past 40 years popularizing this.
16) Many wars would erupt (Mark 13:7-8). According to Project Ploughshares,there are over 50 major armed conflicts in the world today.
17) Ethnic conflicts would be prevalent (Mark 13:7-8; Luke 21:10). Jesus used the Greek word ethnos to describe the last days' battles. Today, as never in history, we have ethnic group against ethnic group.
18) The earth would be filled with violence (Luke 17:26; Genesis 6:11-13). In the United States alone,violent crime has increased nearly 500% since 1960. Fifty years ago abortion (the violent murder of an unborn child) was illegal in most countries. Today abortion is legal in most countries and 50 million children are aborted each year.
19) Jesus foretold that there would be fearful sights (Luke 21:11). The Greek word translated fearful is phobetron, which can also be translated terror. According to the U.S. State Department, between 1981 and 2004, there were 10,605 international terrorist attatcks.
20) Multitudes would travel to and fro (Daniel 12:4). Prior to the Industrial Revolution,few individuals traveled beyond their community. Until recently,horse,foot,and boat were the only modes of transportation. Yet today we travel by bus, car, plane, train, subway, etc. Millions and millions are running to and fro just as Daniel prophesied 2500 years ago!
21) Knowledge would increase (Daniel 12:4).Today we are witnessing an explosion of available knowledge. With the advent of the internet, it is estimated that our cumulative knowledge is doubling every 5 years. This exponential increase is beyond what any one could have imagined!
22) Deadly diseases (which the Bible calls "pestilences") would be common (Matthew 24:7). Emerging diseases such as AIDS, ebola, Hanta virus, Dengue, West Nile, SARS, bird flu, etc., underscore this fact. Ironically,just a few decades ago, some scientists were forecasting that advances in medicine might soon eradicate deadly diseases.3)
23) The final generation would be open to receiving a mark on their right hand or their forehead (Revelation 13:16). Consider how the up and coming generation is tattoed,pierced and marked with all kinds of insignia.
24) A global economic system would exist (Revelation 13:16-17). This was unthinkable in the apostle John's day. Yet today,globalists in every level of government are seeking to unite the world. Connecting the world monetarily is crucial to their goal.
25) A man would control all banking and commerce (Revelation 13:17-18).Remember, this prophecy was penned 2,000 years before our computer-driven society. Yet,until recently,you couldn't have even dreamed how a person could control all commerce.
26) Famines would be common (Luke 21:11;Revelation 6:5-8). According to the United Nations, an estimated 852 million people were hungry in 2004. 27) Great signs from heaven prophesied (Luke 21:11). Unexplained phenomena in the earth and sky appear to be increasing. 28) The sun would scorch the inhabitants of the earth (Revelation 16:8-9). Though this prophecy is clearly a divine judgement on unrepentant mankind, it is interesting that a compromise in the earth's atmosphere due to nuclear war or other ecological disaster could facilitate this judgement. 29) The nation Israel would be born in one day (Isaiah 66:8) . ON May 14,1948 Israel became a nation. 30) The Jews would begin to regather in Israel (Isaiah 11:11-12; Ezekiel 37:21-22; 38:8). Over five million Jews have returned to Israel in recent times! This is unprecedented in human history. Never has a people group been dispersed for hundreds of years to every corner of the globe,and then regathered back to their homeland. Yet,God said it and He has done it before our very eyes!
31) The returning Jews would come from the north, south, east, and west (Isaiah 43:5-6; Jeremiah 31:7-10). Amazingly, nearly a million Jews have emigrated from Russia in the north. Over 90,000 Ethiopian Jews have emigrated from the south (Zepheniah 3:10). Since 1948,Jews have emigrated from Europe, Asia, the Americas, everywhere! 32) During the diaspora (the dispersion of the Jews to the four corners of the globe), Israel would become a wasteland (Deuteronomy 29:23-28; Ezekiel 36:8-11; Ezekiel 36:33-36). During the past 1900 years Israel became a nearly uninhabited, desolate wasteland. 33) Israel, once a desolate desert, would blossom in the last days and export produce to the world (Isaiah 27:6; 35;1-2; Ezekiel 36:34-36). Israel's increased rainfall and world-renowned irrigation technology have caused the land to blossom. Incredibly, as foretold, they currently export over 800 million dollars worth of fresh produce each year including over 200 million in flowers and ornamental plants! 34) Israel would prosper economically (Ezekiel 38:12-13). Amazingly, this recently regathered, tiny nation exported over 30 billion dollars worth of goods in 2004. In contrast, their neighbor Jordan exported less than 3 billion in 2004. This was inconceivable just a few decades ago! 35) Israel would once again plant vineyards on the mountains of Israel (Joel 3:18; Amos 9:13-15). Today, sweet wine flows from the Golan Heights and many other vineyards on the mountains of Israel. 36) The last days Jews would plant forests of trees. The Bible even specifies the variety of trees -- cedar, acacia, myrtle, oil, cypress, pine, and box (Isaiah 41:18-20). This has happened in our day after Israel lay waste for nearly two millenia. 37) The Hebrew language would be restored (Zepheniah 3:9). At the end of the 19th century the Zionist movement brought about the revival of Hebrew as a spoken language. In 1948, Hebrew became an official tongue of the state of Israel. Remarkable! 38) Jerusalem would be rebuilt on its own ruins (Jeremiah 30:18; Zecheriah 12:6). Since 1948, Jerusalem has been rebuilt on the old ruins -- exactly as foretold. 39) Jerusalem would be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled (Luke 21:24). Since 70 A.D.,Jerusalem was trampled by Gentiles until the Jews regained control of the city during the 1967 Six-Day War. 40) Anti-Semitism worldwide anticipated (Deuteronomy 28:37; Jeremiah 29:18; 44;8). History confirms that the Jews have been persecuted as no other people group. Hitler tried to exterminate them,and the Antichrist will attempt the same during the Tribulation. Today,anti-Semitism is a global epidemic. For example, of over 700 General Assembly resolutions passed since the establishment of the United Nations in 1945, nearly 450 condemn Israel. None have been passed against any Arab country nor any Arab terrorist organizations! In other words, out of 190 nations in the UN, over 60% of all General Assembly resolutions rebuke just one memeber,Israel!
41) All surrounding nations would be united against Israel (Psalm 83:4-8; Zecheriah 12:2). This has never happened in history. Yet today, Israel is surrounded by Muslim nations sworn to her destruction. Muhammad said: "The Hour (last day) will not be established until you fight the Jews,and the stone behind which a jew will be hiding will. 'O Muslim! There is a jew hiding behind me,so kill him.' " (Sahih Al-Bukhari,vol. 4, b. 52, Hadith #177). 42) Jerusalem would be "a cup of trembling" to all surrounding peoples (Zecheriah 12:2) . Jerusalem is a small city, with no natural resources , no port, insignificant manufacturing and industrial capability, yet its very existence causes the surrounding nations to shudder. For example, UN Resolution 476 reiterates that Israel's claims to Jerusalem are null and void. As a result, most countries transferred their embassies to Tel Aviv, rather than Jerusalem -- Israel's capital. 43) Jerusalem would be "a burdensome stone" to all nations (Zecheriah 12:3). Almost daily the world news reports on the conflict over Jerusalem. The United Nations, the Vatican, and many world leaders want to make it an international city. However, God says that the city is His -- and He has given it to the Jews forever (Genesis 15:18; Leviticus 25:23; 2 Chronicles 6:6). All who burden themselves with it will be "cut in pieces".
44) Israel would be invincible (Zecheriah 12:6-9). Since 1948,tiny Israel has been attacked in 3 major wars ans 6 lesser wars, yet despite being vastly outnumbered, they have defeated all attacking foes. Even during the final battle, when it looks like Israel will be destroyed Israel will be destroyed,the LORD shall deliver her (Jeremiah 30:3-7; Zecheriah 14; Mark 13:14-20). An invincible Israel makes no sense -- unless you believe God's Word.
46) The Eastern Gate would remain closed until the Messiah returns. At Christ's Second Coming, He will enter Jerusalem through the now sealed Eastern Gate (Ezekiel 44:1-3). Today, as prophesied, the Eastern Gate remains sealed. 47) The nation of Israel, which had been divided into two kingdoms since the time of Solomon (950 B.C.) -- Israel in the North and Judah in the South -- would be one united nation in the last days (Ezekiel 37:15-22) . And so it is -- Israel is one nation. 48) The returning Jews would have no king until Jesus returns (Hosea 3:4-5). As foretold, Israel has been without a king for over 2500 years. Amazingly, not only is Israel no longer a theocracy, but today the Jewish state is governed by a democracy comprised of some 30 political parties. 49) Rebuilt temple in Israel anticipated (Daniel 9:27; 12:11; Mark 13:14; 2 Thessalonians 2:4; Revelation 11:1-2). The prophet Daniel, Jesus, Paul, and John all refer to the temple in the last days. Therefore we know it must be rebuilt. Preperations by the Temple Institute are nearly complete! 50) The temple sacrifices would be reinstituted in Israel in the last days (Daniel 9:27; 12:11). Daniel foresaw the Antichrist ending the daily sacrifices. Therefore, the Jewish sacrificial system must have first been restored in the last days. Currently,the Temple Institute has created the temple furniture, vessels, and priestly garments. There are also several hundred young Jewish men in training for the Levitical priesthood.
51) A red heifer without a blemish must be born and sacraficed to purify the temple of Israel (Numbers 19:2-9). The Temple Institute is actively seeking to acquire a kosher red heifer.
52) Though Israel would be the focus of many fulfilled prophecies, most Jews would remain blind to the fact that Jesus is their Messiah until the very end (Luke 19:41-42; Luke 13:34-35; Romans 11:25-26).
