Answer 1

Yes I do. It's coming true every day.

Answer 2

I am answering these questions purely from a Christian point of view, so no offense intended to non-Christians! :-)

1. Yes, but rarely in the way we think it will. Christ is the perfect example. There was an accepted way that the Jews expected the Messiah to come back, based on centuries of scriptural studies. Guess what? If Christians are correct, then it happened different than anyone expected. They were surprised, which explains much of the skepticism that Christ experienced. Prophecies may well come true, but we are incapable of predicting how, and rarely are correct in interpreting events of our time. Even the apostle Paul was wrong in this way, thinking that the second coming was going to occur in his lifetime.

2. If you could prove it, you would have done it. There is a reason you didn't do it, if you really believed you could, and that reason is because you are incapable of providing any evidence that literally proves you are correct. I'm not even saying you are wrong! I am saying you can't prove it.

3. No, but I can provide a pile of evidence that shows that people like you don't know what they are talking about. I've studied history for over a decade, and Western Civilization is rife with literally THOUSANDS of people just like you that came around and said they knew all the secrets of Biblical prophecy. Guess how many of them have proven to be correct thus far? Zero. For every prophecy one of them was able to demonstrate may be true, dozens and dozens of their interpretations proved to be false. There is no reason to think otherwise about you.

Besides, since you are the one that broached the subject, logically the burden of proof lies on YOU.

Answer 3

I would say that you're pretty amazing, Leonard, if you can prove that any prophecy was the Bible was actually a prophecy and actually came true. I'll check back later...

(And the verse where Jesus says there will be wars and rumors of wars and earthquakes and famine is hardy a prophecy. That's something that's been "coming true" since the beginning of time.)

Answer 4

No. And please don't tell me you're a lawyer.

"Can you prove that those prophecy don't come true?"

Sigh. This argument again? No, we can't prove a negative. Can you prove that God is not gay? No. Next!

Nothing is simpler, son, than reading "prophecies" into the latest headlines. You ARE aware that "Christians" have believed that the signs of the End Times were occuring all around them for about 2 millenia now, aren't you? The Apocalypse, the "Prophecies" of Nostradomas, the Mayan Calendar, etc etc - more than a few people have driven themselves insane in this fashion.

Take the supposed "fulfillments" of prophecy in the Gospels. Many of them are based on simple mistranslations of the Hebrew - viz. the notorious "Virgin Birth" prophecy - which invalidates them out of hand. Many of them are the sort of "fulfillments" that you or I could go out and effect today exactly as "Jesus" did. How hard was it for him to procure a donkey to ride into Jerusalem? Many of them are vague coincidences, e.g. "They shall look on him whom they have pierced" applied to Jesus being stabbed by the soldier's lance as he hung on the cross. Finally, many of the "fulfilled prophecies" are probably mere inventions of the authors of the gospels - mere literary flourishes as it were.
