The Bible say to think about what has been give to you. If apply to you or not. There prophit out that are indeed Prophtic but as human they miss. Alway go to pray about what some told them.

The more important question is Do YOU believe in these things. A little advice, and I DO speak from experience...be careful what you ask for, and what you search for. If you really want to learn about such things you must search for the answers yourself and decide whether or not what you find out rings true. \n\nYou are right...We do indeed live in a world that is not what it appears to be...but what is truth and what are lies, and what is myth...all of these things are completely different (obviously). It is you, though, who decides this. Do not let anyone else tell you otherwise. Some people are very closed minded.

dont listen to ALOT of people.\nusually they dont know all the facts ( about the war and the bible) and are really going on hunches and few passages.\nWhile I'm not saying i dont believe either, its best for you to talk to people who know what they are saying, can give you facts and actually hold a conversation with information rather than " i feel this way, look at whats happening!?"\nwhat about all the world wars and famous infidels.\nNO MAN KNOW THE TIME NOR THE HOUR OF GOD'S COMMING, so people that feel its "soon or near"  really have no idea.\nDoes this mean your are not to prepare your heart for his comming OF COURSE NOT. It just means dont buy the hype.\nyes the bible does say this is bound to happen, but when is not up to us to determine.

I think I found it::  \n1John 4:1  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. \nIs that the one you are looking for.

First - it's not that easy.  \n\nThere are lots of people who believe different ways about he second coming and lots of theologian will have it wrong s well.\n\n For starters, read the book of Daniel and then right afterword, read the book of Revelation.  Then read Matthew 24.  After you are done with that, go back to Daniel 12:10 and then Ecclesiastes 7:25-29.  Regarding wisdom, do you qualify to understand the answer to your question?  Are you wise as to one in a thousand? \n\nBetter get qualified first.  \n\nThere are no easy answers here friend.

Don't be deceived my friend by the DaVinci Deception....\nThe Scripture foretold of deceptions like these....\n\n" Now the Spirit speaks expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils, speaking lies in hypocrisy..."(1Tim.4:1)\n\nBut there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who shall privately bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, bring swift destruction upon themselves". (2 Peter 2:1),

If you would like to learn about truth, I suggest the King James Bible. Man is very fallible and yet you read man's word before God's.\n\nI would wish you good luck, but you are history.\n\nPsa 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

For those who believe, the Bible is a living book.  Which means that the words today are as true as they were yesterday, today, and tomorrow.  When you find new understanding of the scripture it is a little of both going on.  God knows that no one can understand everything all at one time, and he knows that we all learn in different ways.  When scripture messages are "revealed" to you, that is a revelation that God sent to you in a way that you needed to understand it at a time you needed to understand it. Now if you interpret, and it is not God's will, he will find a way to "reveal" that too.  Because if you believe and are truly faithful, God will always provide you with the tools and the information you need.  So, even if you interpret (yourself) and it is a wrong interpretation because you got in the way of your own understanding, God will reveal it to you when you need it.  That is why being a Christian is a journey.  If we all had the ability to read, understand, and apply absolutely everything, then the journey would be over. So, sometimes you will be confused, sometimes you will stumble...but if you are a believer and you ask...he will pick you up when you fall. Just be open and accepting of your revelations as they come and keep studying. Good luck and God Bless.

Absolutely.  Read the bible and then watch people try to dispute it.  If you don't read it first you will think they know everything when they are actually lying to the world.

There is no error in biblical prophesy. every thing happens as predicted\nFortune telling by seers or who ever have only a small percentage of accuracy

By one of the gifts from God that is called, "Discerning of Spirits"\n\n1 Cor. 12.10\n\n\nAlso, we can "Test Everything", by comparing what is being said with "The Word Of Truth", "The Bible".

false prophets ends up leading u away from the truth

How can true prophets and false ones be identified?\n\nTrue prophets make known their faith in Jesus, but more is required than claiming to preach in his name\n\n1 John 4:1-3: “Test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God, because many false prophets have gone forth into the world. You gain the knowledge of the inspired expression from God by this: Every inspired expression that confesses Jesus Christ as having come in the flesh originates with God, but every inspired expression that does not confess Jesus does not originate with God.”\n\nTrue prophets speak in the name of God, but merely claiming to represent him is not enough.\nJesus said: “I do nothing of my own initiative; but just as the Father taught me I speak these things.” (John 8:28) He said: “I have come in the name of my Father.” (John 5:43) Jesus also said: “He that speaks of his own originality is seeking his own glory.”—John 7:18.\n\nIf any individuals or organizations claim to represent God but decline to use God’s personal name, and make it a practice to express their own opinions on matters, are they measuring up to this important qualification of a true prophet?\n\nAbility to perform “great signs,” or “miracles,” is not necessarily proof of a true prophet\n\nMatt. 24:24: “False Christs and false prophets will arise and will give great signs [“miracles,” TEV] and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones.”\nWhat true prophets foretell comes to pass, but they may not understand just when or how it will be\n\nDan. 12:9: “Go, Daniel, because the words are made secret and sealed up until the time of the end.”\n\nThe pronouncements of a true prophet promote true worship and are in harmony with God’s revealed will\n\nTrue prophets and the false can be recognized by the fruitage manifest in their lives and the lives of those who follow them\n\nMatt. 7:15-20: “Be on the watch for the false prophets that come to you in sheep’s covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you will recognize them. . . . Every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit . . . Really, then, by their fruits you will recognize those men.”\n\nIt was not necessary to wait perhaps for years or generations to determine whether the prophet was true or false by fulfillment of a prediction. If his message contradicted God’s revealed will and standards, he was false. Thus, a prophet who foretold peace for Israel or Judah, at a time when the people were engaging in disobedience to God’s Word and Law, of necessity was false.\n\nThe true prophet never foretold simply to satisfy human curiosity. Every prediction related to God’s will, purpose, standards, or judgment. (1Ki 11:29-39; Isa 7:3-9) Often the future events foretold were the consequence of existing conditions; as the people sowed, so they would reap. The false prophets lulled the people and their leaders with soothing assurances that, despite their unrighteous course, God was still with them to protect and prosper them.

Sorry... but God's word is plain about the end times... no one knows and if someone says they know, they are not to be believed. It's going to come like a thief in the night and you aren't going to know even a second before it happens!\n\nWe all know it's coming... but will you be ready when it does?

Studay all religions. All of them. Then you can see what man has written about God, and you can see where things overlap and don't overlap, commonalities and anomalies.\n\nTake what you have learned there and compare it to your own experience. Again, look for common points. See what holds true and what doesn't hold true. Test all of it.\n\nAfter that, you're probably headed in the right direction, though certainly no guarantees on being at your goal.

I've seen a lot of Christians take verses out of the Bible and insist that they are "prophecy"... but they're one of the following.\n\n1. Prediction of something that's either very likely or inevitable.\n2. Prediction of something that happens later in the same book.\n3. Completely wrong, out of context, or contradictory to reality.\n4. Prediction of something that happens in another book, but in the context of the author having literary access to the prophecy referenced. \n\nNone of these things qualify as "prophecy". Prophecy is a unique prediction, the event happening on its own without "help" from those who know the prophecy beforehand.

The Bible verses that talk about the second coming of Christ have been corrupted by some to indicate that there will be a secret 'rapture' where Christians simply disappear.  This is a false doctrine.\n\nThis I believe; http://homelessheart.com/testimony.htm
