"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." (2 Peter 1:21)

"Why Study Bible Prophecy?"

Prophecy is not just a small section of the Bible, limited only to the Book of Revelation. Predictions and prophecy are located throughout the Old and New Testament.

Future Predictions And Prophecy

Did you know that nearly one-third of the Bible was prophecy when it was written? Out of these thousands of Bible verses, there are over 1000 predictions. Half of these prophecies have already been come to fulfillment just as predicted. The prophecies that have not been fulfilled are events that are still to come, dealing specifically with the future and the end of this age.

Since such a large portion of the Bible deals with prophecy, can't we assume that we are meant to read and understand what the Bible says about the future?!

Today, prophecies of the Bible are being fulfilled at an astonishing pace that is continually picking up speed at an alarming rate.

It's truly amazing!

Everyday there is news on television, in the newspaper, or on the Internet that aligns with what the Bible says will happen in the last days.

The world in which we live today is truly like no other time in history. All of this suggests that we should take a closer look at what the Bible says about this day and age. For as 2 Peter 1:19 says, we have a "sure word of prophecy."

There are over 1000 prophecies in the Bible. Over 500 have already been fulfilled perfectly. Because prophecy is such a large part of the Bible, this shows us that God does not want it to be ignored. In fact the Bible says specifically to not ignore or hate prophecies. We read in 1 Thessalonians 5:20 to “Despise not prophesyings."

Heath, I bet you can't even quote which prophecies are "being fufilled" at an "astonishing rate." I bet neither can the organization you've quoted.

The bible can't even show how these prophecies were fufilled, unless they were said in the bible then the BIBLE says they were fufilled. It's like me telling you a made-up story where the I promise the hero will get the girl, and then he does!

Show me which 500 prophecies have been "fufilled perfectly" that are confirmed outside of the bible. You can't.
 
It's easy to make prophecies for ANYTHING!

Say, I make this prediction:

"There will be a fiery storm striking in the east."

If a storm hits florida or east coast, it would make it true. If a storm hits Asia, it would make it true.

But you know.... they WILL face storms since they are inevitable!

Well, look at Noah for instance. He did warned people that there is goin' to rain when he built a huge boat, but people were makin' fun of him and thought that he was just makin' it up. God wanted people to repent before the rain started. It drowned people as it flood when the rain poured for 40 days. Noah and other people never saw " flood " before. So, how do you explain that " prophesies " are just makin' up ?

Noah's Ark is not unique at all. Gilgamesh mentioned it and it's an older myth than the Bible. Many cultures around the world have "flood myths" older than Noah's Ark. Noah's Ark is clearly a myth borrowed from older myths.

It's so easy to add "prophecies" after they actually happened. Today, if I write a novel saying, "I predicted an attack on 9-11-2001", would you believe me? If not, then it's no different from the Bible - they were written AFTER events happened.
 
Well in spite of their unbelief of prophesied, as long their resistance of God's showing, they won't change them, only God knows the heart of people and God says it must happen. Many will believe the fallacy of mans ideologies and trust technologies which is not 100 percent accurate and many others othan than Infallible Wod of God. Many have their own maps, which they continue wondering and lost in the wilderness or the Bible which has an accurate map to show the way by the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the Living Water that we can drink or without Him, still living in parched land.

Using the bible written many year laters after it supposedly happened to say, "Hey, this character in the book predicted this disaster before it happened later in the story!" doesn't prove anything.

The Gilgamesh story was written after the biblical account was recorded, and was a distortion of the original event.

Many cultures share memories of the great flood from their ancestors but none of their stories were written before the Genesis account was recorded.

Um... No. The earliest version of the Epic of Gilgamesh ever found was made between 2100 BCE and 2000 BCE.

Moses is the traditional author of the entirety of the Torah (Bereshit to Devarim) and he didn't appear until 1525 BCE.

The Babylonian tablets which contain the full story of the flood have been dated circa 650 BC. There are some older fragments.

The Great Flood was a common source for both accounts. The Bible is the true story, written independently from the Gilgamesh story, and the Gilgamesh version is the distorted immitation.

The earliest full copy is that old, yes. However, parts of the story were found that are even older, thus indicating that the Gilgamesh story is older.

If we found a verbatim copy of three pages of the Bible that are 10,000 years old, we'd be hard pressed to say that the Bible is not 10,000 years old. That won't happen, of course, but it's a valid illustration of the point.

Dennis,

The nightly news is a dead giveaway . . . not the local news, the national and international news. Watch it with your Bible open, then read the Book of Revelation. Take a look at the last chapter (21) of the book and see what happens when us Christians aren't here and all hell breaks out.

Read history. People complained for the past 2000 years. Same old stuff. The only problem is that you won't learn.
 
Prophecies are very vague. I'll believe it if specific words are actually used. Other than that, it's all mumbo jumbo. ;)

That would mean that a) The rapture has already happened, and thus you're not a real Christian because you were never raptured away, and b) the world is going to end in some time in the next, oh, 7 years or whatever. You know, nothing you've alluded to is adding up to me, hmm?

The "nightly news" just sensationalize everything. I don't see how their exaggerating news to bring in advertising revenue equals "a dead giveaway that prophecies are being fulfilled on a daily basis."

Come on, give me something here. Don't direct me to some crackpot website or TV channel. Tell me what YOU assert is a prophecy that was fulfilled, then back it up with evidence.

Someone here earlier stated that "Alexander the Great" was a prophecy in the bible. There was some good debate on that. I don't recall the conclusion, but there were some pretty serious issues raised, such as whether or not the prophecy as written fit, or was too vague, or whether it was truly written before or after Alexander's history, and whether the passage was originally written one way and was later edited in translations to become a prophecy to fit something with historical meaning in mind.
 
True, for many years await for the rapture. But it hasn't fullfilled the whole message. Even had earthquakes, weather changes, black plague, all kinds of disease and etc, but one thing it hasn't fulfill yet, not entire world has heard the gospel, gospel hasn't been stop yet and God knows the time when if noone willing giving heart to Christ, that will be the time. It hasn't complete yet. But debauchries is growing rapidly. As Paul said, hang in there, don't be weary. Even tho we re not in the eye of the storm yet, when the eye passes, that's when full blown will happen. Inspite the prolong. Tho there are more "egyptians theories" "greek theories" "babylonian theories" today, as of old testament, all of them defeats, and that will happen for todays theories.
