[1 of 5] DO YOU WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE FUTURE? The Bible contains 2500 prophecies, of which 1500 have already come true. Just as there were 300 Bible prophecies successfully predicting Christ’s First Coming to earth, there are also 300 telling us about Jesus’ soon Second Coming. However, I don't care how nifty you are with a calculator, or deciphering the constellations, the Bible lets us know that no one will know the day, nor the hour, even though we are given signs to know when the time is close. Let me give you a quick look at some of those prophecies so you can judge whether they're lining up now: Israel will return to the land, become a nation again, become a united nation again in one day, become a powerful military, their currency will go back to the shekel (happened in 1980), they will blossom as a rose in the desert (it used to be barren lifeless land and now they are the breadbasket of the Middle East), and they will become a source of world conflict. With that last one, I think it's funny that people wonder how we can know when the time of Jesus' return is close. Well, just turn on your TV, right? What is on the news so many nights? It's little, bitty, teeny, tiny Israel as a source of conflict for the whole world. That's Bible prophecy! Here's more that is predicted in the Bible: Israel will rebuild the temple (they want to do that right now), and the world will see an increase in travel, knowledge, unrest, earthquakes, famines, pestilence, war, strange events in the sky, global catastrophes, a false Christ, false teachers, and increased wickedness. Hey, it's a good thing we see none of those signs today, right? Wrong! They all either happened or are being fulfilled today!
