3 - Other prophecies that have been fulfilledAgain, these are only a few of the prophecies fulfilled. There are many others that I have not listedhere in order to keep this book fairly small. These should be enough to prove the point though.The temple in Jerusalem was destroyed as predicted by JesusMatt 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shewhim the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I sayunto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.In 70 AD, the Romans destroyed Jerusalem. During the destruction, fire was set to the Temple. The firecaused the gold inlay on the Temple ceiling and walls to melt. The melting gold flowed into creviceswithin the stones. The Romans pried apart the stones to remove the gold. This fulfilled Jesus' prophecythat not one stone would be left standing on another.The destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple is prophesied in DanielDan 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and thepeople of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shallbe with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.Daniel predicted that the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.This means that before the Antichrist takes power in the end time, the people (his ancestors) willdestroy Jerusalem and the temple. This was predicted sometime around 500 BC and was fulfilled in 70AD. This prophecy is part of Daniels “70 weeks”, and the portion of the prophecy up to this event is483 years.I do have to comment here that the Romans hired many Arab Mercenaries in those days for theirarmies, and “the people of the prince that shall come” could be referring to a man of another nationalityother than a Roman, and is very likely referring to an Arab as you will see in other areas of this book.Israel would become a wastelandDeut 29:23 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, norbeareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, andZeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:Since the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, the land of Israel has been described many times ashaving been a sparsely populated wasteland. In 1867, Mark Twain wrote this about the land of Israel,which at the time was called Palestine, "Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes the spell of a curse thathas withered its fields and fettered its energies Palestine is desolate and unlovely It is a hopeless,dreary, heartbroken land." - from Mark Twain's Innocents Abroad.The exiled people of Israel would return to IsraelEzek 38:8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that isbrought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel,which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely allof them.11

This passage is talking about the Battle of Armageddon when the nations of the world come downagainst Israel into the land that is brought back from the sword and gathered out of many people. Inrecent years, millions of Jews have returned to Israel. After the holocaust at the end of World War 2,Jews clamored to return to Israel, even at the cost of many lives. They flocked onto boats that wouldbe attacked by the Palestinians when they reached shore and seemed driven by some unknown force toreturn home. Today, the nation of Israel is recognized as a sovereign nation!If you’re skeptical and don’t really know if you believe this prophecy mumbo jumbo, I have to ask ifyou really understand the importance and magnitude of this prophecy. Israel was scattered to the windfor 1900 years. Their land was a wasteland for that time. They didn’t die off or become assimilatedinto the other nations and peoples in almost 2000 years! It wasn’t until the middle of the last centurythat they returned to Israel and today they are once again a Jewish nation! How is that possible? Neverin the history of the world has anything like that happened.The rise of Alexander the Great was predicted 200 years before he overran the Medes and thePersians in 331 BCIn Daniel chapter 8 we see the rise of the Media/Persian empire, the conquering of them by Alexanderthe Great, the fall of the Grecian Empire into it's four parts and then a leap to the end time and the riseof the Antichrist and his subsequent defeat by Jesus.Dan 8:20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. 21 And therough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. 22 Nowthat being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but notin his power. 23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, aking of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. 24 And his power shallbe mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise,and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. 25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft toprosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: heshall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.Daniel 11 goes on to explain a lot more about the historical past leading up to the antichrist as well. Ifit were possible to trace the lines we could know exactly where the antichrist will rise from, but thefour kingdoms following Alexander's reign went through too much chaos for us to be able to figure itout without speculation. Maybe the information is out there somewhere and someone will unearth itfor us.Do you think the bible is truth? God gave us prophecy so we could know He is real and believe inHim.12

4 - Modern nations in the bibleBefore I begin, please remember that fulfillment of prophecy cannot be stated as fact until it has cometo pass. I've studied a lot of theories on prophecy and what I've written here is what could be possiblebased on historical and modern day facts, but I will never say all of this is absolute fact until we see ithappen. Some of it is absolutely certain, but some is not, as you see below.Some of the statements made on this page are absolute fact! As follows: There are and will be 4 "kings" or nations and their rulers who will exist at the time of the returnof Jesus. They will be identifiable by the images and statements about them in Daniel 7. The 4th king and his kingdom will be destroyed when Christ returns, but the other three (lion,bear and leopard) will live on into the 1000 year reign of Jesus on the earth. The 4 kingdoms will become 1, ruled by the Antichrist in Revelation 13. The 10 horns of the 4th king (representing 10 kings that will align with him and give him theirpower) are the same representation as the 10 toes of Daniel 2's final kingdom, Revelation 13'scombined kingdom, and Revelation 17's 10 kings that give their power to the Antichrist.Along these same lines, some of the statements made on this page are speculative, as follows: Although it's almost a certainty, we can't know for sure that Islam will be the 4thbeast/king/kingdom. Although it's almost a certainty, we can't know for sure of the identity of the lion, bear andleopard. Although it's almost a certainty, we can't know for sure that Islam is the 4th horseman ofRevelation 6. When we combine the identities, as speculated in this article, the modern nations of Daniel 7,with the final empire of Daniel 2, the horses/spirits of Rev 6 and Zech 6, and the combinedkingdoms in Revelation 13 and 17, we have a perfect union of puzzle pieces making up theamazing picture God painted of the End Time.Having said all that, please remember that it's very important to study and understand the prophecies sowhen they come to pass, in the past or in the future, we recognize them and understand what ishappening.The United States, Britain, Russia and Germany are in the bible! Believe it?God chose to use symbols to represent many things concerning prophecy in the bible. He did this to“seal up” the prophecy until the time that he wished us to know; the time of the end.Dan 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of theend.The symbols are easily understood now that we can recognize them for what they are.13

Daniel 7 speaks of four beasts that rose up out of the sea.Dan 7:1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his headupon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters. 2 Daniel spake and said, I sawin my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. 3 And fourgreat beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. 4 The first was like a lion, and hadeagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, andmade stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. 5 And behold another beast, asecond, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of itbetween the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. 6 After this I beheld, and loanother, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also fourheads; and dominion was given to it. 7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast,dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake inpieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that werebefore it; and it had ten horns. 8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among themanother little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and,behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.The beasts symbolize kings, or nations along with the rulers of the nations as we know them today.When we see a beast in prophecy it is almost always referring to a nation and/or the ruler of thatnation. Sometimes it will refer to the nation itself and sometimes it will be referring to the ruler. Inorder to understand this prophecy, we have to first understand that the beasts are referring to modernnations.Dan 7:17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.We’re told when these nations will exist.Dan 7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment waswhite as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and hiswheels as burning fire.The event in Daniel 7:9 is the return of Jesus Christ. He will return to put down all government andestablish the kingdom of God. This means that these kings (nations) will exist at the time of Christ’sreturn.A very popular theory for this passage is that it is a parallel prophecy of Daniel 2, where it lists thekingdoms that will exist from Babylon to the return of Christ. This cannot be true for a couple reasons.First, there are five sections to the statue in Daniel 2 (see chapter 7 of this book) and there are only fourbeasts here in Daniel 7. Second, if we continue to read Daniel 7: 11 I beheld then because of the voiceof the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed,and given to the burning flame. 12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion takenaway: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time. We see that the fourth beast, the little horn(the Antichrist and his one world government), is destroyed and the other three beasts (the lion, bear,and leopard) have their dominion taken away but they live on for a while. If this is a parallel prophecywith Daniel 2, then the empires (Babylon, Media/Persia, Greek, Roman) would all still have to be inexistence when Christ returns, but they are not and can not. This is definitely a different prophecy withkingdoms differing from the kingdoms we see in Daniel 2. The common factor is that th

The bible contains about 30% prophecy and the majority of that prophecy is about the end times! God wanted us to know when the time was near Dan 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the
