Biblical Prophesies...?
Christians like to say that the biblical prophesies that have come true are proof that it's the word of God. But you never mention what prophesies you're talking about. Please enlighten me. Reference the prophesy (chapter and verse) and reference an instance of it coming true. This way we can all be amazed at the accuracy.
Here are the conditions:
1. A prophesy in the bible can't be proven by the bible (eg: "Moses prophesised Jesus"... and "Jesus' life is documented in the bible").. sorry, no good.
2. It can't be so vague that it could pertain to anything (eg: "It's going to rain" ... Of course it's going to rain... but if you don't say WHEN... it's not much of a prophesy).
That's it. Two simple rules...
Now let those prophesies fly!
Eric... Eddie.. Both good points.
@Solly Llama: "you guys are getting your butts kicked, but you'll be back" Is not a prophesy... maybe if had mentioned a time when they'd be back or something... but no. FAIL.
@ True Truthseeker: So... the bible says the end is nigh and your proof is that things (in your opinion) are bad... FAIL!
@ LoveandTruth: Using the bible to prove the bible... see rule 1... FAIL!

One incredibly accurate Bible prophecy is the Prophecy of Daniel 9:24. Daniel said that from the time of "the going forth of the commandment to restore and rebuild Jerusalem" - That is, according to the Church Fathers, from the time when Nehemias rebuilds the walls of Jerusalem by the command of Kind Artaxerxes (2 Esdr 2). From this time according to the best chronologies there were just 69 weeks of years. In other words, 483 years from this date Daniel says the Messiah will be revealed and then 'slain" (9:26).
483 years later ends up being 32 AD. This prophecy is spot on about when the Christ was 'slain'. In verse 26, Daniel then predicts that the rebuilt Temple at this time will be destroyed as well as the city of Jerusalem shortly after. This also has happened, when in 70 AD the Romans ('a people with their leader', v 26) brutally destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple.
Seriously, this prophecy of Daniel 9:24-26 is soo accurate with regard to dates and events, you simply cannot attribute it to anything other than Divine foreknowledge. God bless.

Self-pleasant prophecy, convinced. that's difficulty-free to make it look that a prophecy replaced into fulfilled once you've a list of the unique prophecy recorded for all to invent a fulfillment. In different words, the goat herders who wrote the hot testomony in which Jesus, supposedly fulfilled prophecy, had the Torah to apply to invent a prophecy fulfillment. ews do no longer have self assurance that Jesus is the Moshiach (Messiah) because the following have not been fulfilled (at one time in the international - no 2d possibilities!): * The Sanhedrin will be re-widely used (Isaiah a million:26) * once he's King, leaders of alternative countries will look to him for coaching. (Isaiah 2:4) * the total international will worship the single God of Israel (Isaiah 2:17) * he will be descended from King David (Isaiah 11:a million) through King Solomon (a million Chron. 22:8-10) * The Moshiach will be a guy of this international, an observant Jew with "worry of God" (Isaiah 11:2) * Evil and tyranny is in simple terms no longer in a position to face previously his administration (Isaiah 11:4) * understanding of God will fill the international (Isaiah 11:9) * he will comprise and attraction to people from all cultures and countries (Isaiah 11:10) * All Israelites will be lower back to their native land (Isaiah 11:12) * demise will be swallowed up continually (Isaiah 25:8) * there'll be no more beneficial starvation or ailment, and demise will stop (Isaiah 25:8) * each and each of the useless will upward thrust lower back (Isaiah 26:19) * The Jewish people will adventure eternal excitement and gladness (Isaiah 51:11) * he will be a messenger of peace (Isaiah fifty 2:7) * countries will finally end up recognizing the wrongs they did to Israel (Isaiah fifty 2:13-fifty 3:5) * The peoples of the international will turn to the Jews for religious coaching (Zechariah 8:23) * The ruined cities of Israel will be restored (Ezekiel 16:fifty 5) * guns of conflict will be destroyed (Ezekiel 39:9) * The Temple will be rebuilt (Ezekiel 40) resuming many of the suspended mitzvot * he will then proper the total international to serve God jointly (Zephaniah 3:9) * Jews will understand the Torah without study (Jeremiah 31:33) * he will provide you each and each of the desires of your heart (Psalms 37:4) * he will take the barren land and make it substantial and fruitful (Isaiah 51:3, Amos 9:13-15, Ezekiel 36:29-30, Isaiah 11:6-9).

I've yet to read one of those so called prophesies that I could not have guessed at. They are all very broad and vague. They use what I like to call, the shotgun approach.

1 Peter 4:7 says: But the end of all things has drawn close. Be sound in mind, therefore, and be vigilant with a view to prayers.
Proof
1. High Prices [And I heard a voice as if in the midst of the four living creatures say:
"A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the olive oil and the wine. Revelation 6:6]. n.b. denarius = a day's wages [approx.]
2. No Peace; wars, violence, crimes etc. on the INCREASE [And another came forth, a fiery-coloured horse; and to the one seated upon it there was granted to take peace away from the earth so that they should slaughter one another; and a great sword was given him. Revelation 6:4].
3. Deadly Plagues, Food Shortages, Political killings. [.... And authority was given them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with a long sword and with food shortages and with deadly plague and by the wild beasts of the earth. [Revelation 6: 8b]. n.b. wild beasts sometimes refer to political elements.
4. Ridiculers, Proceeding according to their OWN DESIRES. [For you know this first, that in the LAST DAYS there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires and saying: "Where is this promised presence of his?
Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep [in death], all things are continuing
exactly as from creation's beginning." 2 Peter 3:3, 4].
5. Critical Times. [But know this, that in the LAST DAYS critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 Timothy 3:1]
6. Money Lovers, Egotists, Haughtiness abound. [For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal... 2 Timothy 3:2].
7. Fierceness, unwillingness to agree abound. [having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness.
2Timothy 3:3].
8. Lovers of Pleasures, Rather than Lovers of God. [betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God. 2 Timothy 3:4]
9. Religious Hypocrisy abounds. [having a form of godly devotion but proving FALSE to its power; and from these turn away. 2 Timothy 3:5].
10. Boisterous Crowds increase. [Also, there will be signs in the sun and moon and
stars, and on earth ANGUISH of NATIONS, NOT KNOWING THE WAY OUT because of the ROARING of the SEA and [its] AGITATION. Luke 21:25]
n.b. sea here, denotes man alienated from God. Compare Isaiah 57:20, Jude 13.
11. Preaching of Good News, increases. [And this good news of the kingdom will be
preached in ALL the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and THEN the
END WILL COME. Matthew 24:14].
12. Knowledge Increases. ["And as for you, O Daniel, make secret the words and seal up the book, until the TIME of [THE] END. MANY will ROVE about, and the [true] knowledge will BECOME ABUNDANT." Daniel 12: 4]
This list is by no means exhaustive. Frequency and severity of earthquakes, frequency of wars, increased anxiety ETC. are also included in the SIGNS of the LAST DAYS, please see Matthew 24, Luke 21, Mark 13 etc.

The answer is "your thinking too hard" You dont have to worry or get upset if you dont believe, just except that. On the other hand If you have faith then we wouldnt be having this conversation.

Also, 3. There is no definitive way to tell whether the world is getting "better" or "worse" morally.

give me the exact date, time, and major event. and then do that multiple times
if you cant do that then they're not prophesies
