1. False Bible teachers would be
money hungry. They would be smooth talkers, have many
followers, and slur the Christian faith (2
Peter 2:1-3).
2. Mankind would be capable of destroying all life (Matthew
24:21-22). Consider that when Jesus made this
prediction the armaments of His day were swords and
spears. But today, with nuclear, biological, and
chemical weapons, it is possible to wipe out all flesh
on planet earth.

5. The Antichrist would use (false)
peace to destroy many (Daniel
8:23-25). With all the problems facing
mankind, multitudes are looking for a "savior" to usher
in peace and prosperity without moral accountability.
The Antichrist will promise the world such a peace if
they follow him - but his intentions will be sinister.

6. Damascus would be destroyed (Isaiah
17:1,
14;
Jeremiah 49:23-27;
Amos 1:3-5). Damascus,
Syria is increasingly in the news and is extremely
anti-Semitic. Many terrorist organizations have their
bases in Damascus. God declares that they will become a
ruinous heap because they have violently taken what was
not theirs.

7. Chaotic weather would be prevalent (Luke
21:25-26). Jesus foresaw "the seas and the
waves roaring" in the last days. He also likened these
signs to birth pangs (Matthew
24:8). The Greek word odin, often translated
as sorrows in Matthew 24:8, literally means birth pangs.
Furthermore, the apostle Paul
reminded us that the creation itself will be delivered
from the curse at the end of the age (Romans
8:21). And that the "the whole creation
groans and labors with birth pangs" (Romans
8:22). As delivery
draws near, birth pangs always increase in both
intensity and frequency. Therefore, the creation itself
would travail as the time of delivery draws near. Of
course chaotic weather has always existed, but there are
indications that we are witnessing an increase in
strange weather.

8. Global communications foreseen (Revelation

The Bible predicts that the entire world will "see"
certain events unfold. The invention of the television
and the deployment of global satellite networks during
the 20th century allow news to travel the world at the
speed of light for the first time ever. Remember that in
the apostle John's day, news traveled at the speed of
horseback.

9. The Christian gospel would be
preached as a warning to all nations (Matthew
24:14;
Mark 13:10). Today,
portions or all of the Bible have been translated into
over 2,300 languages and dialects covering over 90% of
the world's population.

10. There would be a move toward a global government (Daniel
2:40-44;
7:23;
Revelation 13:7-8). The
former Roman Empire - which encompassed present-day
Europe - would revive and eventually dominate the world.
The European Union has steadily moved forward in its
attempt to unite Europe politically and economically. It
has succeeded in creating a European parliament, a
court, and a common currency.

reemerge in the land of Shinar - known today as Iraq (Zechariah

18. Despite an increase in scientific knowledge, deadly
diseases (which the Bible calls "pestilences") would be
prevalent (Matthew
24:7). Emerging
diseases such as AIDS, Ebola, Hanta virus, Dengue, West
Nile, SARS, etc., underscore this fact. Ironically, just
a few decades ago, some scientists were forecasting that
advances in medicine might soon eradicate deadly
diseases.

refuge for the fleeing Jews during the Tribulation (Isaiah
16:1-4;
Matthew 24:16;
Revelation 12:6,

In 1994, Jordan and Israel signed a
peace treaty making Petra a potential refuge for fleeing
Jews.

22. Russia (Magog) would rise as a
military power and lead a surprise attack on Israel just
prior to the final seven years of this age (Ezekiel
38). Today, most of the southern states of
the former Soviet Union are both military powerhouses
and Muslim.

24. Iran (Persia), Sudan (Cush), and Libya (Put) would
also partake in the surprise attack on Israel (Ezekiel
38). Anti-Semitism in the Arab world is
rampant. According to the Koran and Hadith, all Muslims
are commanded to kill Jews, Christians, and
non-believers in Jihad (holy war) unless they convert to
Islam (Surahs 9:5 and 47:4; Volume 1, book 2, numbers 24
and 35).

25. Ironically, Egypt and Jordan would not participate
in this surprise attack (Ezekiel
38). Astoundingly, they are the only two Arab
nations that have signed a peace treaty with Israel.
Jordan signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1994 and
Egypt signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1979.

26. Birds of prey would eat the dead flesh of the enemy
armies that fall in battle against Israel (Ezekiel
39:4,
17;
Revelation 19:17-21).
It is a little known fact that Israel
is the bird migration capital of the world. In fact, 500
million to 1.5 billion birds fly over Israel each
spring. During the fall migration an estimated 1 to 4
billion birds traverse Israel. Many of these migratory
birds are raptors - carrion (dead flesh) eating birds of
prey. In fact, 34 species of raptors migrate over
Israel.

32. The Eastern Gate would remain closed until the
Messiah returns. At Christ's Second Coming, He will
enter Jerusalem through the now sealed Eastern Gate (Ezekiel

Gate remains sealed.

33. The nation of Israel, which had been divided into
two kingdoms since the time of Solomon (950 B.C.) -
Israel in the north and Judah in the south - would be
one united nation in the last days (Ezekiel
37:15-17,
Ezekiel 37:22). At
present, as predicted, Israel is one nation.
34. The returning Jews would have no king in the last
days (Hosea
3:4-5). Amazingly, not only is Israel no
longer a theocracy, but today the Jewish state is
governed by a democracy comprised of some 30 political
parties.

35. During the diaspora (the dispersion of the Jews to
the four corners of the globe), Israel would become a
wasteland (Deuteronomy
29:23-28;
Ezekiel 36:8-11;
Ezekiel 36:33-36).
During the past 1900 years Israel became a nearly
uninhabited, desolate wasteland.

last days and export produce to the world (Isaiah
27:6;
35:1-2;
Ezekiel 36:34-36).
Israel's increased rainfall and world-renowned
irrigation technology have caused the land to blossom.
Incredibly, as predicted, they
currently export 800 million dollars worth of fresh
produce each year.

Visit:
Trees (harpazo network)
39. Though Israel would be the focus of many fulfilled
prophecies, most Jews would remain blind to the fact
that Jesus is their Messiah until the very end (Luke

Romans 11:25-26).

41. Asia (the kings from the east) would be capable of
deploying a 200-million-man army during earth's final
days (Revelation

in Jesus' day there were only an estimated 170 to 400

42. Population explosion predicted (Revelation
7:9,
14). The apostle John,
who wrote the Book of Revelation, was told the number of
an army in the last days - two hundred million (Revelation
9:16). This was the approximate population of
the world at that time.
That John also beholds "a great
multitude which no one could number" coming out of the
Great Tribulation at the end of the age (Revelation
7:9,

enormous number of people on planet earth in the last
days.

44. Egypt, one of the world's greatest ancient
civilizations, would exist in the last days - but only
as a lowly third world nation (Ezekiel
29:14-16). Today, as predicted, Egypt remains
an impoverished nation. To show how amazing this
prophecy is, compare modern Egypt with the tiny nation
of Austria. Egypt has ten times more land area, and a
population eight times greater then Austria. Yet,
Epypt's Gross Domestic Product is only one-fifth of
Austria's GDP.

cardinals, nuns, and monks from marrying. The Orthodox
Church, as well as Hindus, Buddhists, and other

certain orders.

50. The rise of anti-Semitism
worldwide anticipated (Joel
3:2;
Zechariah 12:2-3). In

turn on the Jews and attempt the same.

sake (Luke
21:17;
Revelation 6:9-11;

the Bible, prayer, the Ten Commandments, nativity
scenes, Christmas songs, etc., reflects this trend. Also

again the official language of Israel.
Ultimately, when Christ returns to
set up His kingdom, all people will share one speech.
Not only will one language be restored, as it was before
Babel (Genesis
11:1), but all people will call on the Lord
with one accord.
55. The Ethiopian Jews would return to Israel (Zephaniah
3:10). At least 60,000 Ethiopian Jews have

56. Substantial wealth and luxuries
foreseen (James
5:1-3;
Revelation 3:17;
Revelation 18). It is
interesting that 40 years ago some authorities
forecasted that the growing mass of humanity was so
quickly depleting the world's resources, that many
resources would be exhausted in a few decades. Yet
today, vast material wealth and luxuries are in abundant
supply - just as the Bible indicated 2000 years ago.
57. Despite increases in wealth, disparity between the
wealthy and poor would continue to increase (Revelation
6:6). In Scripture, oil and wine often denote
luxurious abundance (Proverbs
21:17;
Joel 2:24;
Revelation 18:13).
Therefore this prophecy indicates that the wealthy will
continue to flourish while the poor can scarcely afford
bread. Thirty years ago, the
world's richest 20% had 30 times the income of the
poorest quintile. Today the ratio is 60 to 1. That means
that the top 20% account for 85% of the world income,
while the bottom billion's share is only 1.4%.

58. Stress would increase because of selfishness (2

themselves."

61. A large asteroid or meteorite predicted to hit the
earth during the Tribulation (Revelation

football field passed extremely close to Earth,
remaining undetected until days later.

62. Nuclear energy foreseen (Revelation
8:10-11). While this prophecy is clearly a
divine judgment, it is interesting that an asteroid or
comet strike could easily breach nuclear power plants
which are commonly located near large bodies of water.
This would contaminate (make bitter) vast waterways.
63. Plans to rebuild the temple in Israel anticipated (Revelation
11:1-2;
2 Thessalonians 2:1-4;

64. A red heifer without blemish must
be born and sacrificed to purify the temple in Israel (Numbers
19:2, 3, 5, 9). A kosher red heifer was born
in 2002 and remains without blemish!

65. The temple sacrifices would be reinstitued in Israel
in the last days (Daniel
9:27;
Daniel 12:11). Daniel
foresaw the Antichrist ending the daily sacrifices.
Therefore, the Jewish sacrificial system must have first
been restored in the last days.
Currently, the Temple Institute has
created all the temple furniture and vessels. There are
also several hundred young Jewish men in training for
the Levitical priesthood.

67. Israel would remain invincible except during the
Great Tribulation (Zechariah
12:6-9). Even during those last 3 ½ years,
when it looks like Israel will be destroyed, the Lord
shall deliver Israel from the hands of her enemies. (Jeremiah
30:3-7;
Zechariah 14;
Mark 13:14-20).
Since 1948, Israel has been attacked
in three major wars and six lesser wars, yet despite
being vastly outnumbered, they have destroyed all
attacking foes.

mankind (Luke

69. The majority of those in the last days church would
be lukewarm, wealthy, complacent and would be vomited
into tribulation (Revelation
3:14-16). Polls reveal that a high percentage

inspired Word of God. Many even deny that Jesus is God.

71. Many would say that Christ is in the "secret
chambers" or "inner rooms" in the last days. (Matthew
24:26). According to the Catholic Church,
Christ is in the inner rooms of hundreds of thousands of
Catholic churches - either in Eucharistic tabernacles or
in Eucharistic monstrances. Jesus also warned that this
deception would be acompanied by great signs and wonders
(Matthew
24:23-27). Currently, Eucharistic miracles
are reported around the globe.

would call herself "queen" and head the global
counterfeit church in the last days (Revelation
17;

73. The woman would also embody a great city set on
seven hills (Revelation
17:9,
18). The Queen of
Heaven is considered the Mother of the Roman Catholic
Church which has its headquarters (the Vatican) situated
on seven hills. As the Catholic Encyclopedia states, "It
is within the city of Rome, called the city of seven
hills, that the entire area of Vatican State proper is
now confined."

74. In the last days, this wicked woman would go out
over the face of the whole earth. She would be
associated with a global curse. Her final destination
would be Babylon - in the land of Shinar (Zechariah
5). Interestingly,
the apparition of Mary claims that she will soon travel
through the entire world saving those who look to her.

importance of worshiping the Eucharist.

76. The Lady of Kingdoms would
deceive God's people. Ultimately, the Lord would expose
her true identity (Isaiah
47). It is
provocative that an apparition of Mary entitled "The
Lady of Nations" has initiated Catholics to petition the
pope to declare her Co-Redemptrix. Nearly 7 million
petitions have been sent to the pope urging him to
declare her Co-Redemptrix.

78. Israel would be partitioned by other nations (Joel
3:2;
Daniel 11:39). This has
been a top priority for the United Nations since
Israel's statehood. Currently, the West Bank, the Golan
Heights, and Gaza, have been divided up into Jewish and
Palestinian settlements.

81. Atomic fission anticipated (2
Peter 3:10-12). The Greek word translated
elements is stoicheion which refers to the Greek
letters: alpha, beta, gamma, etc. These are fundamental
particles and rays of the atomic nuclei which are
emitted from a molecule during radioactive decay. Peter
predicted these elements would "melt with fervent heat"
when the earth and the heavens are "dissolved" by fire.
Today we understand that if the elements of the atom are
loosed, there would be an enormous release of heat and
energy (radiation).

13:17-18).

86. Many would call themselves the Christ (Matthew
24:5). Jesus was an itinerate preacher who
never traveled outside the tiny nation of Israel and He
had the audacity to say that many would come in His
name, claiming to be the Christ. And yet today,
multitudes within the New Age Movement, Eastern
religions, and the cults call themselves the Christ.
87. God predicted that His name would be great among the
nations (Malachi

Philippians 2:9-11). As
