Is the Rapture the only Bible Prophesy that hasn't come true?? (yet)?

Answer 1

No, many scholars now believe the Book of Daniel was written after most of the events occurred then the writer tacked on some authentic predictions for the future which didn't materialize.

Prior to Daniel 11:40, the author(s) has been recording past events under the Babylonian, Median, Persian and Greek empires. In Daniel 11:40-45, he really attempts to predict the future. He prophesizes that a king of the south (of the Ptolemaic dynasty) will attack the Greeks in Palestine, under Antiochus. The Greeks will win, will lay spoil to all of northeast Africa, and return to Palestine where Antiochus will die. The end of history will then occur. The author(s) appeared to be a poor psychic because none of these events actually happened. Antiochus did die in 164 BCE, but it was in Persia. Thus, the book was apparently completed before 164.

There are other instance of controversial prophecies. The problem being they are wording vaguely enough that there are multiple interpretations and events they are attributed to.

Answer 2

*Rolls eyes*

None of the "prophesies" have come true. It's entirely likely some modern events have been reinterpreted to fit biblical prophesy, the same way the so-called prophesies of Nostradamus have been twisted around to fit real history.
There are some sick individuals who are manipulating political realities to fall in line with biblical "prophesy," the result of which a lot of people are going to die and no "savior" is going to show up.
Like George and Ira Gershwin wrote in the opera "Porgy and Bess:"

All that you're liable
To read in the Bible,
It ain't necessarily so.

Answer 3

Since there is no 'Rapture' in the bible, why don't you let us know the prophesies that have come true?

Answer 4

you find me the prophecy of rapture in the Bible and I answer you ... oh wait - you can't ... cause its not there.

there is no such thing as the rapture - it is a made up story that some doctrins like to believe (actually i find it ironic that its mainly an american belief - that its not really taught anywhere else)
--think about it - thousands of people die from persecution around the world - in China alone thousands die daily. so what God just decides one day - "oh wait, its reached, America, I think i'll go save them now"

rapture is not in the Bible i live by

Answer 5

The word rapture is not even in the bible. It's not a bible prophesy.

Answer 6

The rapture is not a Bible prophecy. It is a bogus doctrine fabricated in the 1800s and is not taught by any of the older churches.

Answer 7

No, Egypt has yet to be conquored by Nebuchadrezzar (Ezekial 29:10-11, 18):
"Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia. No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years...Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon."

Yes, it's true, the Bible has prophecies that never happened.

Revelation isn't a prophecy, either. It's a "keep your hopes up" to the Christians persecuted by Nero ("Nero Caesar" = 666) and Daniel is talking about Israel during the Maccabean Era, not the modern-day state of Israel.

Answer 8

I would think everything in the Book of Revelation to John the Divine have not come true, such as the 1000 year reign of God on Earth, the new Jerusalem, Judgment Day, the tribulation, the beast, the dragon, et al.

Answer 9

Rapture is NOT Bible prophecy.

Notice Revelation 1:1 and 22:6. "This is the revelation that God gave to Jesus Christ. Jesus shows those who serve God what will happen SOON..." & "...the things that must SOON take place.”

The book begins and ends with statements that the things it describes will happen QUICKLY. The Greek phrase is the same in these passages as that used in Acts 12:7 "..."Quick!” the angel said. “Get up!” The chains fell off Peter’s wrists." One CANNOT interpret it as meaning "wait around several centuries before you get up..." It refers to NEAR TERM events, NOT the distant future. The Revelation mentions 3.5 years/42 months/1260 days several times. It is quite possible that this was the time frame of its primary fulfillment.

The original readers of Revelation considered that the events described occured during many of their lifetimes. They understood that the FIGURATIVE language described the end of the persecution they were suffering and not the distant future. Many prophecies have been fulfilled in multiple times and ways, but if we interpret Revelation in light of its own internal evidence, we must conclude that the events are primarily in our past rather than our future.

Here are several other passages related to Jesus' return and kingdom:

2Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar. Fire will destroy everything in them. God will judge the earth and everything in it. 11 So everything will be destroyed. And what kind of people should you be? You should lead holy and godly lives.

Mark 9:1 Jesus said to them, “What I’m about to tell you is true. Some who are standing here will not die before they see God’s kingdom coming with power.”

1Corinthians 4:20 The kingdom of God is not a matter of talk. It is a matter of power.

1Corinthians 15:23 But here is the order of events. Christ is the first of those who rise from the dead. When he comes back, those who belong to him will be raised. 24 Then the end will come. Christ will destroy all rule, authority and power. He will hand over the kingdom to God the Father. 25 Christ must rule until he has put all his enemies under his control. 26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.

1Corinthians 15:50 Brothers and sisters, here is what I’m telling you. Bodies made of flesh and blood can’t share in the kingdom of God. And what dies can’t share in what never dies. 51 Listen! I am telling you a mystery. We will not all die. But we will all be changed. 52 That will happen in a flash, as quickly as you can wink an eye. It will happen when the last trumpet sounds. The trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised to live forever. And we will be changed. 53 Our natural bodies don’t last forever. They must be dressed with what does last forever. What dies must be dressed with what does not die.
54 In fact, that is going to happen. What does not last will be dressed with what lasts forever. What dies will be dressed with what does not die. Then what is written will come true. It says, “Death has been swallowed up. It has lost the battle.” 55 “Death, where is the battle you thought you were winning? Death, where is your sting?” 56 The sting of death is sin. And the power of sin is the law.
57 But let us give thanks to God! He wins the battle for us because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done. 58 My dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Don’t let anything move you. Always give yourselves completely to the work of the Lord. Because you belong to the Lord, you know that your work is not worthless.

... Premillennialism teaches that man was able to prevent God from completing his plan at the time of Christ. This is a very WEAK view for believers to have of the creator of the universe. IF he is capable of creating BILLIONS of stars, HOW could a few mere humans thwart his plans? This IS NOT a teaching consistent with the descriptions of God and his kingdom in scripture.

Answer 10

There is nothing in the Bible about any rapture.
