interesting question i would hope for multiple choice on this one. I know many themes are oft repeated but have no clue.
It's a big bible, and the mistake we often make is we only look at the NT. And that's everyone, I am not picking on anybody. The most repeated prophecy, and it is not even close... is not the coming or the return of messiah. It is not the rapture, or the great and terrible day of the Lord.... the thing that is most repeated that has not happened yet is the reunification of the entire or whole House of Israel. Some believe this has happened, but Hosea 1:11 makes it clear, when Judah and Ephraim come back together again, they will appoint a head over them, and there has not been a king over a united Israel since Solomon. Deut. 30:1-6, all of Hosea, Ezekiel 37, and 100 other references I can list. Even in Acts 1:6, where the disciples are asking if then was the time to set up the Kingdom. It wasn't... and the fact that they asked and he left the answer open proves is hadn't happened at that time. Since it certainly hasn't happened in the last 2000 years, then it remains the most repeated prophecy that is left on the table. Now yes, Israel being a nation has prophetic significance, but make no mistake... the people there do not represent all of Israel and it is a secular nation, not a kingdom ruled by messiah. Hosea 1:11 has not been fulfilled.I'm going to say
- 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 or
- Revelation 13:15-18
My point in sharing this is simple Brian... where you said, "The thing is though that God is not so cryptic that a basic idea of what is going to happen and a chronology of events cannot be determined," you kind of made the point I was trying to make. If the most repeated prophecy in the bible is written in plain language and yet (I bet) 1% of Christianity would not have given the correct answer, then there still appears to be things that need to be revealed. So He can be cryptic at times, He can be clear at times... and NONE of us know with 100% certainty that we are correct (if we're being honest... and if not, then too full of pride to know any better )!
