OT foretelling future

[avdrummerboy]

Hey all,
I have heard that in the old testament there are scriptures that foretell events that are happening to this day to a "T." I have not yet found them (the bible is a bigger book .) Does anyone know any that come to mind and where to look?

I have heard it used against atheist beliefs to say how people thousands of years ago predicted what was going to happen today.

Thanks

Although many of the prophecies were for today, most were about judgments against Israel and the advent of the Messiah. They are way, way too numerous to mention, but Google is your friend!

I suspect these folks are referring to Matthew 24:3-14, but I think it applies to 1st Century Christians as well as it will apply to 37th century Christians if Christ does not return before then.

From the NIV
"As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, "Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?" Jesus answered, "Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. You will hear of wars, and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen. There will be famines and earthquakes in diverse places. All of these are the beginning of birth pains. Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."
