Answer 2

My favorite prophecy is the SPECIFIC town where Jesus would be born. Not only did Micah say (Micah 5:2) He would be born in Bethlehem but WHICH Bethlehem. Bethlehem Ephrathah was a small town about 5 miles south of Jerusalem about 2,460 feet above sea level. The other Bethlehem was about 5 miles north of Jerusalem. There are many prophecies in the Old Testament that came true. There are those who make predictions and there are those who call themselves prophets but there is no other book on Earth that can compare with the bible when it comes to fulfilled prophecy. The Jean Dixon's of the world make predictions and at best 10 percent of them come true. Men like Nostradamus write books of so called prophecies and are proved wrong time and time again. And quite often the predictions made are so clouded by confusing language that the fulfillments can be twisted to mean just about anything. Not so with bible prophecy. Bible prophecies are almost always specific and detailed. Fulfillment of bible prophecies are usually obvious and are always 100 percent accurate. In fact, the bible itself has something to say about knowing whether or not a person giving a prophecy is a true prophet of God or not.
"If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him."

Answer 3

Prophecies should be examined with the following four questions:

1. Is it true, and, if so, to what degree?
2. Was it made before or after the fact?
3. Was it either directive or deliberately fulfilled by someone with knowledge of the prophecy?
4. Was it a logical guess?

I know of no Bible prophecy that passes all four questions.

Answer 4

You will find prophesies throughout the Old Testament, as well as in the New Testament. I do not know how much you study the Word of God, but if you study in it very much, you will not find hardly a single prophesy in it anywhere which has not already taken place, or been fulfilled; including the prophesies spoken of in Matthew Chapters 24 & 25, concerning the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Even though some of these prophesies in these chapters of Matthew refer to the 2nd. return of the Lord Jesus Christ, or the beginning of the thousand-year reign of Christ upon the earth; also known as the Millenneium; you will not find a single prophesy concerning the Lord returning for the rapture of the Church, which has not been fulfilled. In other words, Jesus could return at any moment; at any time. I hope you are ready and looking for his return; for it will not be far away.

Answer 5

Israel is a nation and has been since '43. The Bible predicted that. Jesus was born, lived and dies precisely DOWN TO THE LETTER the way Isaiah prophesied he would. The Bible foretells the Arab world rallying against Israel. Turn on CNN and see that prophecy fufilled. I'm no theologian, but if I were, I could doubtless give you more examples. Read "The Case for Christ" by Lee Strobel. It's all about this kind of thing.

Answer 6

The bible is no way condones the formation of a Jewish State, it does, in fact specifically PROHIBIT the state of Israel from existing-!

Don't believe it-?

Ask a Rabbi-! Or multiple Rabbis, as shown in the links below.

Israel, Judaism and Zionism

Jews Not Zionists

http://www.jewsnotzionists.org/

Contrary to common perception, Jewish anti-Zionism is not restricted exclusively to the well know Jewish anti-Zionist movements such as Satmar and Neturei Karta.

http://www.jewsnotzionists.org/satmar.htm

http://www.nkusa.org/

There are in fact many Jewish movements, groups and organizations whose ideology regarding Zionism and the so-called "State of Israel" is that of the unadulterated Torah position that any form of Zionism is heresy and that the existence of the so-called "State of Israel" is illegitimate.

No one has had to create any antagonism between our Torah and Zionism because such antagonism exists by virtue of the essence of Judaism itself, which can never tolerate the heresy of Zionism.


Zionism is wrong from the Torah viewpoint, not because many of its adherents are lax in practice or even anti-religious, but because its fundamental principle conflicts with the Torah.

Unfortunately, due to many undesirable factors, the view of Torah-true Jewry has been concealed from the general public.

We, the staff at www.jewsnotzionists.org are delighted that with the advance in media technology a substantial benefit to researchers, students, and the general public has been made available.

We are elated at the advantage which the internet provides for the presentation of and accessibility to a position so widely held yet so deliberately ignored by many a Zionist-inclined medium.

It is our hope that the information presented on this site will be of benefit to all and that we soon merit the peaceful dismantlement of the so-called "State of Israel" and that Jewish-Muslim brotherhood be restored as prior to the arrival of the Zionist scheme on the global scene.

Answer 7

If you look in www.reasons.org it gives you a whole list of fulfilled prophecies. For example Joshua prophesied that Jerico would be rebuilt by one man whose youngest son would die and in I kings 16:34 it came true!

Answer 8

Read the prophecies describing what is happening to Israel now. All Jews will be coming back . . . .highway between Israel and Egypt will open again . . . . .. walls around Israel . . . . . .the US giving away and betraying Israel.

Watch CNN and read. . . . . . they are coming true . . . . when every person on earth has heard the news and is given the opportunity to accept him he will return. . . . . . . we are not too far away from reaching all corners of the earth.

God Bless

Answer 9

No one can accuratly say the the predictions have come true, they can only match the prophecy with whatever fits. If that makes any sense.

Answer 10

Some of the more popular ones are Noah's arc, the death of Jesus (extremely popular), and Moses's story.

But I wouldnt trust any of these as the Bible was continually altered in conventions by religious fools that wanted to make the Bible seem more miraculous and to enchant its followers.
