Jesus prophesised the fall of Jerusalem within a generation of his crucifixion- it happened. The bible accounts in which this prophesy is recorded date from before it happened.

The return of the Jews to Israel was prophesied and it happened.

The preservation of the Jewish people is necessary for various biblical prophesies in the end times. Despite 3000 years of persecution and pogroms they are still here.

Christians have always asserted that Christ would ultimately prevail against the empires and ideologies that have come and gone fighting against the Christian Way. Within the last generation atheistic communism collapsed in the USSR.

Islam is another ideologically oppressive systems that is set to fall in time.

The prophecy started but Paul also warned the people of that day
lest that day come upon you. Habakkuk 1:5 and Acts 13:41.
The Chaldeans will come again in the end days. Iraq

Joel's prophecy was fulfilled, as Peter said, two thousand years ago. That's what Scripture says.

Habakkuk's and Paul's are placed in the last days - at the time of
the end - it shall speak.
Iraq is coming against Israel.

Problem: That's not what the Scriptures are saying. Habakkuk spoke of the Babylonian rise to power in the 7th century BC, which preceded the Babylonian Exile. Remember that whole incident where the Babylonians came and took the kingdom of Judah captive and took the Jews into exile in Babylonia? That's what Habbakuk was talking about.

The passage in Acts appropriates it as a general warning of judgment.

What this has to do with the fact that Joel's prophecy was fulfilled on Pentecost I don't know.

Habakkuk was given a vision - chapter 1.
He then in chapter 2 goes to set upon the tower so he
can warn the people about this invasion by the Chaldeans.
But God didn't want Habakkuk to do that, instead he was to
write it down - make it plain - people will read it/ and run.
him that readeth/ run
It was not to happen then, but at the appointed time - at the end.

So Habbakuk was shown that the Babylonians would come in and conquer Judah, but that didn't happen when the Babylonians came in and conquered Judah, but at some unspecified future "end times" time?

Jesus Christ told His generation that they would not see signs
from heaven. The moon turning to blood would be in heaven.
This event happens after the things listed in 1-2 Thess. that happen before the day of Christ/that day/day of the Lord will begin. The NT shows repeatedly that the day of the Lord was not in the days of Peter and Paul. that day shall not come - except

The signs Jesus does speak of refer to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.

Concerning Christ's coming in glory and the Eschaton our Lord says there won't be any sign--it will be as a thief in the night, like in the days of Noah with people going about their business when suddenly the flood came--two will be in a field and one will be taken and the other left. Suddenly and without warning will be Christ's coming to judge the living and the dead. That's what our Lord Jesus says.
