The vaguer the better, please. Be careful not to insert any unquestionably verifiable details.

Mister Sunshine, that was excellent work!

Canucklehead, that was fairly vague, thank you. You forgetting the details gave it extra credibility, good job.

Dze, these prophesies are so vague they are fulfilled everytime we sneeze.

David F, thanks for proving my point. There were mockers before Jesus, Tailchaser.

Schneb, the Bible doesn't say Israel will become a nation in 1948, now does it?

well the thing about true prophecy is it wasnt meant to foretell the future ... it was simply meant to be fulfilled ...

Robert Anderson who was the inspector for Scotland Yard (who almost caught Jack the Ripper) took the book of Daniel as providing the date Messiah was to come. His incredible calculations pinpointed the DAY Jesus rode in to Jerusalem. For this, he was knighted by Queen Victoria and became Sir Robert Anderson. However, he read other prophesies regarding Israel becoming a nation again and thought that this was WAY too preposterous. No nation, after being conquered and scattered, EVER returned again to form a nation and a people. So it must have had some "allegorical" meaning to it. Well, in 1948, Sir Robert Anderson was proven wrong. Sir Robert Anderson believed the Bible, but his doubt in a wild claim such as Israel becoming a nation was too much for him. THAT is how accurate prophecy is. Before the fulfillment took place, Anderson assumed it was wrong (having lived in the Victorian era pre 1948). He twisted nothing, but assumed it was something else entirely.
Isaiah 34:16
"Search from the book of the LORD, and read: Not one of these shall fail; Not one shall lack her mate. For My mouth has commanded it, and His Spirit has gathered them."

The "end times" will begin for real when the European Union has 12 member states as prophesied in Revalations. Or is it 14 or 16 or 22 or 28, I forget now.
To Mister Sunshine: God's will or somebody else's fault, right?

Yes Jesus said that there will be mockers. In proverbs it says Whoever corrects a mocker invites insult: whoever rebukes a wicked man incurs abuse. Let's see how long it takes for these to come true. And you have proven that Proverbs was right as well as Jesus.

The only way to be more vague than the majority of biblical "prophecies" is to say "Something might happen. Or might not. Sometime. Or maybe never. But whatever happens, it'll be god's will."

The appendix is a vestigial organ for which scientists will never find a purpose for in human beings!
