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

Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left." (Matthew 24:40–41) \n\nAlso, Revelations is full of Tribulations that will happen to the people here on Earth, although it is widley disputed whether Rapture will occur before or after Tribulation.

No.  They've been predicting it forever now.  See the link below for just how many times.  Every generation thinks it is, pointing to passages in the bible that match something going on.  Hasn't happened yet and won't happen.

Ah the ignorance; the Bible says we will be changed in a twinkling of an eye - not gone in such.  If most Christians would actually study the Bible instead of Tim LaHey and Hal Lindsey, they would probably be ready for what is coming and not looking in the wrong direction like the Jews were for the first coming.\n\n“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”\n\nI don’t think a trumpet sounding is very secret.  Anyway, this verese is refering to the second comming, not a secret rapture.

Possibly, yes.  Many historical events which took place in the Bible foreshadow future events.  (See Romans 15:4)\n\nPerhaps the wedding of Issac and Rebekah can be likened to the upcoming marraige of the Lamb, Jesus Christ, and his wife, the 144,000 humans who will reside in heaven as rulers over the new earth, as is foretold in Revelation 19:6-8.

There is "prophecy" in anything people are gullible enough to believe.  Bones, Dice, Cards, Stars, Chicken guts, sayings of 'oracles' at Delphi, tea leaves.  ALL of these things prey (not pray) on the stupidity of people who want answers to the unanswerable, the future, the unresolved past.  Be a skeptic, and ask questions like this one, and do not believe anything just because "it is written", look at the bible contradictions within itself!

This is used in the Arabic language as a stress on the certainty of the issue. God knows what is going to happen, and His knowledge is beyond he boundaries of time, so for Him these are facts. An example of this language usage is when I say that we are all dead, since there is no doubt that every human being is going to die.\n\n**Check surat Al-mu'minoon (ch.23) from verse 99 forward. There is no coming back.

Probably Nostradamus.  If you type in his name in a search engine, you will get oodles of information.  There are also many, many books written about his prophecies.

Yes to all your questions. It seems we have heard it forever that God will return for those who have made themselves ready. Will we hear it the next thousand years? Don't think so. All you have to do is look in Revelation and see this is truly the last days. All the old prophecies are almost totally fulfilled. The world is just about at the place when God will finish up and do what he said he would do. Most people either don't believe the end is almost here or don't wish to believe it. One day we will know for sure want we?

He can't help himself, he is deluded into thinking he can pull it off. God dwells in Eternity, He went down the time line & took a look, then told John what was going to happen. Prophesy is not "foretelling" the future. It is History told, before it happens.

A lot of scripture prophecy is written such a way that you can't see it ahead of time, but after it happens it is as clear as can be.\n\nJohn 13:19, "From now on I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He."

It won't be easy understanding Revelations without taking account of the rest of the Bible.  There are many prophecies in the other books of the Bible that tie in to Revelations.  Isaiah has plenty.  \n\nBut the most revealing ones of all, i.e, the most direct and descriptive, are Jesus' own predictions of the end times.  He mentioned this several times in Matthew, Mark, and Luke.\n\nMany of the prophecies written in the books other than Revelations actually explain what Revelations truly meant because some prophecies in the previous books are repeated in Revelations.\n\nGo to www.biblegateway.com for a free, online bible.

There is no scripture that claims that the rapture will take place as many people believe.  It is a very common belief based on non-Biblical traditions.

Neither, do not you know by now War is not the answer?  Why can not we learn from history?   No one Wins We all lose. Peace on earth, good will toward men.  Are we destined to repeat the same mistakes since Abel and Cain?, No it doesn't have to be.  But according to Bible yes, even in the last days, there will be wars and rumours of wars.  Whew!!! All the turmoil gets old.

It is believed by some that it will start around Babylon.  That is somewhere in Iraq.  Others believe it will be near Jerusalem.  I personally am not concerned.  Predicting the future is best left to those who wish to deceive or play guessing games.

No, there is not a book what tells the future.\n\nBut there may be a book that tells the future. Not all the future. Just parts of it.\n\nLike who wins.\n\n(I've read it and I know)
