if the prophecies in the bible is false?

Question

tell me this, the bible speaks of crazy weather condition, the world getting worse, with mens hearts growing cold, and ppl falling away from the truth. this is going on now. how could the "men" that wrote the bible tell us that our generation was gonna be so bad? this world in the 70's wasnt even has bad as it is now. how could they possibly know?

no the weather is getting worse. think bout the hurricanes and tornadoes. they were something awful during 04-06 that tsaumi (spelled wrong) that was bad to.

im a fool cause i see what you cant? i didnt have to worry bout a short boundry to play in when i was younger, but now days your child bout cant leave the yard period! so dont tell me that was for back in the day, cause like i said 70's were different from now as far as safety

sorry but i still havent found any intelligent answers to my question. no one has explained what ive asked. your only mocking what you dont understand

(atheists dee) im glad you said that, cause that is also a prophecy that the knowledge of man will grow. ( they use to walk, ride horses etc. now we have cars. also electricity and etc.

(fm) i could do that much for you

come on now, i know someone can come up with something better then what ive seen so far. even as a christian, if someone can make logical sense of what ive asked ill give you credit even though i believe in God.

Answer 1

because that's been happening alllll through mankind.
crazy weather conditions - the up&downs of natural climate. try the little ice age on for size, killed thousands upon thousands of people in the middle ages. much more than these hurricanes. plus modern warm climates are alot manmade.
hearts growing cold... yea, rules and conquerors have always came to give the conquered flowers? the largest origional christian empire (rome) was about as cold hearted as it gets
on another roman topic, rome lied too! and rulers will and always have lied to keep people in check
thennn....
spanish inquisition
destruction of all native american cultures
genghis khan
crusades
the list goes on and on and on

so basically what i'm saying... pick just about any period inhuman history... and you get every one of those prophecies

Answer 2

I wasn't gonna answer this cos the grammar is woeful but ...

We've had all sortsa weather in the past few decades and I'll bet the records show it's no worse now than in the 1800s or 1900s.

You mentioned the Tsunami in an update as though it's weather - you're wrong.
Waves can be caused in only two ways - the most common is wind and the other is tectonic plate movements.

Prophesies are easy to make, especially if they're a little vague - people that come after the prophesy will attempt to make every one of them fit.

You really need to get out more and read more stuff - you'll find the prophesy makers are no more than modern day 'psychics' who say all sortsa things and occasionally get something right - the trick is to have them spelled out clearly and concisely and then seeing if they were true.
The ones in Revelations have been predicting the end of the world for 2000 years or more and every generation through the ages has thought they were gonna be the last.

I've been round since the 40s watching this world change - it's no worse now than it was then - it's just that information moves faster now than ever before.

[edit]
Jesus said he'd come back whilst his disciples lived - he lied; he didn't come back.

Answer 3

Remember that the New Testament was finished about the 1st Century so that is some 1900 years ago. But, lets look back.

Christ fortold the Roman invasion that destroyed Jerusalem (Ok so he was quoting a prophesy by Daniel from several hundred years earlier) When you see the disgusting thing in the Holy Place run for the Hills (paraphrased) which happened 70 C.E. (which was 37 years after his execution).

Daniel fortold of the Destruction of Babylon as Did Isaiah both one before the other Isaiah then Daniel anyway they spoke of the manner, and extent of its destruction

Jeremiah spoke of the destruction of Jerusalem in 607 B.C.E.

Archeologically they have found the cities that they believe were Sodom, and Gamorrah, and gee fire seems to have demolished both cities, and an inexplicable earthquake that pushed the walls in on the cities.

Archeologically they even believe they found the City Moses was helping Ramses to Build before he came back to lead the Israelites out of captivity.

Much of the "History" of the Bible has been proven by other records of the time. Like the records of Christ's (sorry Jesus of Nazareth) execution on a cruz simplicus (a torture stake, a post, or tree not a cross as is popularized by many Christian Chruches). Anyway getting to the point of your question if God, an all knowing, and all loving God was behind the prophisies of past events that have proven out as history hundreds if not thousands of years later. THen how is it not possible to prove God's foresight in knowing this day and knowing how Satan would corrupt the hearts of men in this day. Funny part is I am looking forward to one particular scriptures fulfilment Matt 7: 22,23 when many who profess to be Christian will find out how they turned away God's true workers doing his work in its day Going Door to Door spreading the Good News of God's Coming Kingdom.

God constantly refined his people, so they were different from the people of their day, and so it is still true, since God has a name and that name was obscured in many Bibles by Satan since God's name had power, but Satan the Devil is actually just a Title. If you look in the front of the version of the Bible you read (version means translation of a translation, and sometimes there are some inherent inaccuracies) there will be a note in the front or preface about the Tetragrammaton which because of varied pronunciations can be translated YHWH/JHVH Yahweh or Jehovah I perfer the second pronunciation, but the point is the name means "He Causes To Become" it is not just a title like Lord, or Most High.

Answer 4

The key is the prophecies in the Bible are not false. Throughtout the Old Testament there are many prophecies that predicted Jesus was the Messiah and gave signs that would show the people that He was the One. If all of the other prophecies in the Bible have come true throughtout the earth's existance that would mean that there is no reason for the other prophecies not to come true. God knows all. God knew you before you were born. God can show you the life you live 20 yrs from now if He wanted to. God is so big and powerful to know things that far ahead and be able to give that information to John and have it written as a warning to man of the future that lay ahead. It is a Revelation, it is to reveal. The Bible says that He is the Alpha and the Omega, so if He is the end, He most know how it is going to end.

Answer 5

Because God told them.

This is the only way it can truly be explained. The power of the Holy Ghost lead these men to write these things.


Lately Earthquakes world wide have increased every year. That is what the Bible said.

On January 21 in my home state a few years ago we received 200 tornado warnings in one night. They said at the time this was a new all time record totally smashing the old one.

How could they know about "every eye shall see them"? That could not even be comprehended at that time. Now we can see world wide in an instant.

Or eyes being consumed in their sockets tongues in the mouth while they stood on their feet. Sounds like Nuclear.

The list could go on and on of the things God has revealed to his servants the prophets.

Answer 6

It is a well documented fact that hostile weather phenomenon have increased at alarming rates since the 1960's.
Hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis,-etc have dramatically increased in numbers as well as intensity. The Bible also mentions that "Knowledge" will increase and this seems to parallel the weather phenomenon, the use of computers has allowed mankind to calculate trillions of pieces of data in one second time. Microchips are widely accepted forms of identity for animals, soldiers, elderly and children. No other time in history, has technology been so readily available to keep track of every human being on the planet. Also coinciding with our increase of knowledge and our peculiar weather conditions, is the moral decay that also started in the 1960's. All these things started happening at approximately the same time and all of them continue to increase at alarming rates. God knows all things and He warned us ahead of time,"When you see these things happening, I am right at the door" He tells us not to worry, but keep our heads up because "Our redemption draweth near"
Gods children will be spared from the wrath that will be unleashed upon this world, in the blink of an eye we will be taken to be with Him. Praise The Holy Lamb Of God!!!!

Answer 7

The world isn't any worse now than it was in the past. In fact, in many ways it is better.
Better health, political freedom, labor-saving technology, financial security, new forms of entertainment, worldwide communication including the Internet, and increased scientific knowledge have all made the world better than it has been in the past.

According to the gospels, Jesus predicted that the end of the world would happen within the lifetimes of those living at that time. If he got it wrong, how can anyone else pretend to know when the end times will come?

Answer 8

I have a good book for you to read if you would like. It will go right along with your Bible and show you why things are happenning the way they are and whats going to happen in the very near future for all of mankind. Your right things are worse than they were 20,30,40,50 years ago and they are going to get even worse. But there is a happy ending, I won't tell you, you have to read the book. There are no obligations or hitches and the book is new.

Answer 9

Although things are so bad, the weather, murder, rape,etc.
these are the last of the last days and God is pouring out an awesome anointing to bring in the lost and the weary in before Jesus returns. Look at the churches...there are those being exposed, WHY?, God is cleaning house so He will have a clean Body to work through.<><
Matthew 24 (chapter)

Answer 10

The irony of biblical prophecy.... the one's obssessed with biblical prophecy, namely christians are the last ones to get the message.... The devil will deceive the whole earth and the veil will be lifted.... so while the truth is sinking into the rest of us, the christians who are the one's deceived are still fighting for their "god" shutting out all attempts to reason with them...... keeping themselves blind to the end.... if you ever wondered why even atheists argue with christians it's because they are like the proverbial unicorn in the song, You know the one by the Irish rovers... there were green aligators and long neck geese... some humpy back camels and some chimpanzees, etc.....
