Prophecies/Predictions for 2010: Results

[eclipsenow]

Wow, brother eclipse that was an incredible read. Thanks for that. I realize the father in the family was following false rapture doctrine, but that family dynamic was beautiful. i am so envious of those types of families. I suppose that is why I spend an hour or two hear every day or so, sharing with my extended family.
My wife likes to sing at church, and my kids love Sunday School, vacation Bible School and storytime Bible Books, but when the lesson is over, it's most often back to daily chores or relaxing for my wife, and back to toons or games for my kids.

I sure wish I had such a grasp on the memorization of Scripture that even the young boy had in that story, and the wife, what a whip, quoting chapter and verse of everything he spoke of.

A good read and thank you.

Agreed — even if fictional, it is a good encouragement to get memorising! (A nice version like Today's New International Version which had many problems of the NIV solved).

But as for the Word being fullfilled, hogwash. As the Scripture CLEARLY says, "flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom". So this aint it.

Agreed; and Partial Preterist's are not saying that. The Lord Jesus is still to return. Full Preterist's are a heresy.

Yes, we have Christ Jesus in our hearts, and His Kingdom lies there now for me and you to see within ourselves. But I tell you this. The day WILL come when EVERY knee shall bow, and many will cry out to our Lord saying Lord Lord......

Agreed — it is just that I don't see any evidence for a so-called Millennium. John defines the Millennium as running from the resurrection of Jesus (first resurrection) until the end of the world/judgement day/ 2nd death.

He will reign for a literal 1000 years over this earth, uncorrupted and without sin. We, in transformed bodies, will exist for the millenium, worshiping the ALmighty God with Christ Jesus as our King and High Priest.

There's no way that 1000 years is literal.


Here are a bunch of verses that indicate 1000 means 'a really big round number'.

There ARE times when multiples of a thousand indicate an actual, 'close enough', literal number, such as when describing how many men went into battle or how many people they captured. This is clear from the specific context.

EG: 1 Chronicles 5:21
They seized the livestock of the Hagrites—fifty thousand camels, two hundred fifty thousand sheep and two thousand donkeys. They also took one hundred thousand people captive,

But these are usually in the multiples of 1000.

The USUAL usage of the actual symbol 1000 is anything but an actual number. It's like us saying 'about a gazillion' to modern ears. It's about exaggeration, not accuracy; it's about making a point, not counting.

Deuteronomy 32:30
How could one man chase a thousand, or two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the LORD had given them up?

Joshua 23:10
One of you routs a thousand, because the LORD your God fights for you, just as he promised.

Job 9:3
Though they wished to dispute with him, they could not answer him one time out of a thousand.

Job 33:23
Yet if there is an angel at their side, a messenger, one out of a thousand, sent to tell them how to be upright,

Psalm 50:10
for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.
(Are you REALLY going to read this literally and therefore conclude that God does not own the cattle on the gazillion other hills on planet earth?)

Psalm 84:10
Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

Ecclesiastes 7:28
while I was still searching but not finding— I found one upright man among a thousand, but not one upright woman among them all.

Isaiah 30:17
A thousand will flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five you will all flee away, till you are left like a flagstaff on a mountaintop, like a banner on a hill.”

Ezekiel 47:5
He measured off another thousand, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in—a river that no one could cross.

2 Peter 3:8
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.

If you have half an ounce of literary prowess, you'll see that 1000 means 'a really big round number' here, or in the case of 2 Peter 3, 'a really long time'. Both Peter and John are picking up on this Jewish number symbolism when they write 'a day is like a really long time' or 'they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a really long time'.

Then after that most perfect day(1000 years) we will be ready to meet the Father. Led by Jesus, hand in hand into the presence of the ALmighty.

I see the rest of the NT as saying they are the one and same day. We will rise to new life NOT to just reign for 1000 years, but to see judgement Day. John himself — the author of Revelation — says so.

John 5
28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned. 30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.

If you brother choose this flesh for his kingdom, so be it. I choose to long for the incorruptible Kingdom under one rule, the rule of the Law, who is Christ Jesus.

Praise and exalt Him above all forever!

This is a common problem for many people. It's called 'eschatological tension'. We live seated with Christ in heaven right now! But there is a 'not yet' about the passage, there is something still to come.

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
We ARE the Kingdom of God now, both Jews and Gentiles that trust in Christ. But we are also to inherit the kingdom that will never perish, when we will be transformed in the twinkling of an eye, where ALL evil will be judged and where we will reign for ever.

The Millennium is just picture language for the martyred saints coming to life in heaven and waiting till the end of the age, as we see elsewhere in Revelation. That's it!

To my knowledge, there weren't any correct prophecies from this forum to report on in 2010. But like I said, if you know of any you are free to post them here to tell us how they turned out. And no, no one here is advocating seeking out people to stone. If examining the level of predictive/prophetic discernment on this forum every year makes you a little uncomfortable its probably because the track record isn't very good. Don't blame the messenger.

There were fulfilled prophecies back in 2008 that I put front and center on my thread here. I do try to be fair.

In Christ,

Acts6:5

That is interesing. Where is she now?

 

[B1inHim]

2010 is now officially behind us, so once again it’s time to recall the eschatological predictions made on this forum concerning 2010 and discuss the results. This list is not exhaustive, so if you know of any prophecies/predictions I have missed please feel free to post them and let us know how they turned out.

I have broken the eschatological claims down into predictions and prophecies. Some of the claims made here are only based on opinions interpreted through biblical research and current events, so I categorize those only as personal predictions. However, some of the claims here have been based on supposed prophetic insight and divine revelation, not on human reasoning, so I classify those as prophecies. I haven’t counted any vague claims, such as “hey, I believe the rapture is coming soon!” - I only counted ones with a specific date or event terminating in 2010.

Here’s how it works: All of the 2010 prophecies/predictions (p/p’s) are in quotes. I’ve tried to provide the links to the p/p’s so you can check them out for yourselves, although a couple may be missing. Underneath the quotes are my comments. At the end there will be a final tally.


Three and a half years have passed since the agreement took place, and nothing of biblical proportions has resulted from it. Not only should the Church stop being complacent, but it should also stop sending up false alarms.

VERDICT: False Prediction


The Tribulation did not start in 2010, not by any visible indications anyway.

VERDICT: False Prediction


A new world economic order was not put in place by Solana in 2010 or by anyone else for that matter.

VERDICT: False Prediction


The new world economic order did not come into play in 2010 in attempt to quench international terror, crime, or to protect world wild life.

VERDICT: False Prediction


Mr. Solana stepped down in Dec. 2009, and he is no longer the EU's high representative for the CFSP or the secretary general for the CEU. Jewish temple sacrifices did not begin, Solana did not attain a higher profile in the US over the last 3 years, and there was no assassination attempt made against him. So at this point Solana is not the man.

VERDICT: False Prediction


Well, unless all of us on this forum currently represent non-believers, then this prediction of a Rapture between 7/12-7/20 did not occur.

VERDICT: False Prediction


More than nine months have passed since this prediction was made, and there has not been an economic collapse (yet), and a global government was not instituted within the alloted timeframe.

VERDICT: False Prediction


Elections were held this November, despite being told that the marxists would not allow it. And although Jen claimed that the marxists would not give up their power, the non-marxists (Republicans) made great strides and won the majority in the House of Representatives and are determined to become the party of "No".

VERDICT: False Prediction


Despite sky charts and other research, an antichrist did not rise on 6/6/10.

VERDICT: False Prediction


There was no formal announcement concerning future cooperation between humans and extraterrestrials, despite the claim that powerful institutions were ensuring that nothing derailed the planned disclosure announcement. 2010 did not represent a year of greater government openness on UFO's, and Obama did not lead an unprecedented effort to promote global governance.

VERDICT: False Prediction


Although man-made and natural horrors occur every year throughout the world, nothing occurred in the US or throughout the planet that came close to eclipsing 2001 or rendering the events of 9/11 insignificant. And 2010 was definitely not the beginning of the bloodiest years the human race has ever seen. (BTW, where did the Dutch get 40,000 pregnant sheep and goats, and where were they slaughtered? That's a lot of wasted meat).

VERDICT: False Prediction


July and August came and went, and a brown dwarf start did not cover 1/5 of the sky, nor did Revelation 8 unfold this year. And despite staking his life on his prediction, apparently highwic now claims elsewhere that his calculations were a tad off and that the dwarf star is coming sometime next year. Whatever.

VERDICT: False Prediction


The book burning never happened, and the Unholy War did not begin on 9/11/10; martial law was not declared and FEMA camps were not opened up.

VERDICT: False Prediction

GOOD JOB!

Thank you again for your work here .

In Him and love,

Still curious about the prediction that 2010 was the hottest year since records have been kept

2010 was the year of the heatwave, with record temperatures set in 17 countries. Two leading groups of scientists say it was the warmest since records began in 1850; another suggests it was the second-warmest.
But the year that saw an unprecedented month-long heatwave in Russia will be followed by cooler global temperatures in 2011, say climate scientists monitoring sea temperatures in the Pacific that are thought to determine temperatures around the world.
The final ranking of 2010 will not become clear until November and December data are available in early 2011, but November global temperatures are similar to those observed in November 2005, suggesting 2010 is on track for near-record levels.

Someone did predict this somewhere in the pile of threads that spooled through these gates... AT least I THINK I saw someone predict this...

Dates aren't easy to pin down??? I don't follow. What about the Old Testament prophets. They had no difficulty relaying their prophecies. All we read is "The Lord said...." When you are a prophet, there should be no hesitation in giving God's message to the people. It should be done with utmost confidence.

Additionally, most of the prophets were pleading with the people to listen to them and understand their message. So again, if someone has a message from The Lord. They should be shouting it out on here.

But Biblically, as has been pointed out, there are no more prophets. We have the entire future through the end of the world in the Bible already. That's it.

And the thing on how serious this is this: if you are seriously making a prophecy, then your words should be added to the Bible. Any real prophecy should seriously have equal standing with the Bible because it is the Word of God. We see this happen with people like King Saul or Agabus, who prophesied things that were not even major events, but still get included in Scripture.

Has the Lord given you prophetic messages before? Especially referring to those with dates.

As for adding to the Bible isn't that forbodden in our time? And yes I am asking these questions with a purpose in mind NJB

I love this thread. My challenge to Futurists is to name just one of their endless speculations that have come to pass in the last 62 years since the formation of modern day Israel. There aren't any! Why would prophesy that is already fulfilled - be fulfilled in the future?

The Jews keep asking the same question

Luke 21:22 That days of vengeance these are, of the to be ful-filled all the having been written.

Revelation 1:3 Happy the one reading and the ones hearing the Words of this, the Prophecy, and keepings in it having been written, for the time nigh.

I just started - will add more when I see one with a date. Futurists need to keep their speculations in the Future - where they are safe.

Way to go!

Nice broadbrush!

The problem with the newspaper exegete wackos on this forum is not that one should not seek to fit the newspaper into the Bible, their problem is they are futurists!

For the record, I am a futurist who believes no specific Bible prophecy has been fulfilled in my lifetime.
