Well, I know what you mean, but ....
First, given that they are vague, there's no telling when they've been fulfilled. (I used to argue with a Jehovah's Witness who claimed the End would be in 1975, I think that was the year. We finally decided to agree to disagree, with each of us thinking "In 1976, won't YOU be surprised!" I've since been told that that was a "false prophecy.")
I'm sure you could site many times in history when they were all fulfilled, if you interpret them the right way.
But this does not effect believers' beliefs.
I read that there were a couple of sociologists who joined a cult, whose leader was predicting a soon End.
They wanted to see what happened in the group when the Time had passed, and nothing happened. (Research you simply can't duplicate in a lab.)
Nothing much happened. The leader said "Oops. It'll really be a year and a half from now."
The followers were even stronger in their belief. Didn't rock them for a second.

Do you think it will be funny when the Bible's prophecies are fulfilled and you were wrong about nothing happening?

It's not going to be funny WHEN they are fulfilled. Did you leave out a word? Imagine no food available in the US. Imagine no power, no police force. Imagine cannibalism on the streets of New York. Imagine gangs of hoodlems running wild, raping, killing and robbing. Imagine a time so bad that there has never been any like it before, nor will there be any after. I don't think this is going to be funny.

Most of them already have at one time or another, the moon regularly turns red like blood, the whole "brother will rise up against brother and father against son" prophecy was fulfilled during the Civil War, and before that even. I'm already laughing, please, join me.

When the Bible prophecies are fulfilled, EVERYTHING will happen as prophesied. How can NOTHING happen if ALL PROPHECIES are fulfilled. You make NO sense at all.

I don't think it'll be funny at all for you, me, or anyone else if those prophecies came true and we spent our lives ridiculing them.

Well what the heck did you expect to happen? The bible is a great read but short on facts. When it is all said and done life goes on.
