Is there anything happening that the book of Revelations has predicted?

Yes, many prophesies (predictions) are now being fulfilled and will still be fulfilled in due time (Very close). In the book of Revelations, it prophesied about the end of the wicked people (world) known as Armageddon. The Revelation book gives us signs of it's coming. Hunger, sickness (diseases), governments that can't bring an end to human suffering, and death. It also foretold of the "world power" losing it's influence on other governments. THINK! Which nation now stands as the WORLD POWER that is loosing it's influence on other nations? Think..
After this "world power".. an 8th world power will rise but not long enough. Armageddon will come right behind it.
Revelation is a very, very, very detailed book about the coming Armageddon. For those who are striving to live according to God's high moral standards has no reason to fear Armageddon. This is the day where God will deliver his people from pain, sickness, and death.

Throughout history people have looked at major disasters and picked a piece of Revelations to tie it to. That book has always been quite a mystery. It appears to be very much symbolic, so who really knows what it means. It talks about Babylon and Jezebel, but since they're pretty much gone, we should probably assume that it means something that is like those people / places.... There have been so many interpretations.
Plus, prophecy is not really the same as a prediction. The books of the prophets in the Bible are about giving a message from God to His people. A warning to turn back to Him or face the consequences... that kind of thing. a prophet is one who speaks for God, who calls sin sin, who warns the people when they are off course. So, a lot of times, those prophecies of coming doom didn't happen because the Israelites shaped up. Now, I wouldn't call that a false prophecy, because I don't look at it as a certain prediction. That just isn't what prophecy is in the Bible.

It says ,nothing is going to happen until Israel is back in the land.Well,they are.So now that's why there is so much trouble in the Middle East.Daniel said "The whole world will hear the voice of the Anti-Christ" which wasn't possible until we had sattelite link ups.So things are slowly heading that way.The AntiChrist will make a 7 yr. peace pact with Israel to end hostilities and will break it 3 1/2 yrs. into it.That's when the Tribulation will really get going.

certain, one major philosophy shaping western international is the 'merely war' philosophy which 'holds that a conflict can and could meet the criteria of philosophical, non secular or political justice, supplied it follows particular situations.' quote Wikipedia the countless recommendations held with assistance from the merely war acceptable: * the wear inflicted with assistance from the aggressor on the country or community of countries should be lasting, grave, and particular; * all different technique of putting an end to it would want to were shown to be impractical or ineffective; * there should be intense potentialities of fulfillment; * using hands ought to no longer produce evils and complications graver than the evil to be eliminated. the means of cutting-edge technique of destruction weighs very heavily in comparing this condition. This philosophy is pervasive and set in action cutting-edge negotiations for peace, yet also allowed for justice to be set in action might want to an rather good favor arise.

Yes, everything to prove that He is coming back is here and coming. Revelation says that there will be terror, war, natural disasters, famine, plague, and death on a high scale around the world. All of that is happening today. He's going to come soon.

the Bible comtains many, many prophesies conerning the "end times".
they are not restricted to the Book of The Revelation ( see Daniel, Ezekiel ).
most of the prophesies related to the "End of the Age" or the days immediately preceeding the return of Jesus Christ have already been fulfilled.
there are precious few left to be fulfilled, which Bible scholars believe is a good indication that the "end times" are or will be soon upon us.
are you ready for the return of Jesus Christ?

Revelations is a book of schizophrenic rants. People have predicted the end for centuries. It's an old game.

The Book of Revelation( no -s) is book of primitive myth written by men who had little understanding of the world around them and even less about the future. It's essentially archaic, irrational dogma. It has no relevance to our world today nor to the crises that we face as human beings.

Revelations was not written to predict the future but to warn people about what was going on in those days, with the Roman's.

Yes. The Apostacy-loss of faith in God, The Black beast-freemasonry hidden as the secular society. War-rumors of war, Pestilence etc...
