That's not what I said, which prophecies have come true?

Not using scripture as 'proof'.

Which of Jesus' prophecies have come to fruition


His prophecy of the end of the Jewish system came true with the destruction of the temple. Ever since that day it has been impossible for the Jews to carry out worship in the way prescribed for them by God.

His prophecy of the Roman attack on Jerusalem and the manner ion which it would be successful.

His prophecy of the preaching work being carried out earth wide right now, in the manner he taught his followers to do it.

His prophecy, not only of the great increase in warfare and disasters, but the ability of people to be aware of them.

His prophecy of the coming Apostasy.

His prophecy of the problems his true followers would have to put up with in order to stay faithful.

His prophecy of the great increase of false prophets that abound today.

His prophecy about the abundance of people falsely claiming to work in his name in this time also came true

Not all Jesus prophecies have come true yet simply because nto all were due to come true yet.

The prophecy of his coming in power and glory, for instance, will be fulfilled at Armageddon, when he and the angels rid the earth of all wickedness.

The prophesied preaching work started in 1925.

The ingathering of the "other sheep" started 10 years later.

The majority of the prophecies he passed on to John in Revelation, have still to be accomplished though we are getting quite well through them now.

OK now you tell me any that failed and I'll tell you why they aren't due yet.

Prophecies are great fun, all you have to be is specifically vague.

12.3 And wheezy said unto the masses. "Beware, for the land of the albion will be split by the apostates."

Now, many call the UK the albion, but albion means union (roughly), so is it the USA? Russia? The arab league?
And what we call apostates is a variable too, dependent on who is saying it, because they consider all that don't follow that creed "apostates", even the ones being called "apostates" will consider the caller an "apostate".

So you pick one of the countries I've named, pick a point in history, and say "look! it happened, the apostates did split the country!"

And lo, wheezy was right. And it was bulls***.

Precognition is not exclusive to God - it has been reported in man.

Shouldn't that say "WILL be reported in man" ?

No - by the time it is known to be a prophecy it will have happened and will therefore be too late.

True.


Edgar Cayce is a little less known prophet among the masses. He lived from 1877 - 1945 and made a number of fascinating predictions that have come true. Cayce was said to deliver his predictions through a self induced trance. His work started as he diagnosed the sick through his meditated hypnosis. Doctors could not explain how Cayce was able to prescribe the correct medicine just by going into a trance. He gained credibility as he continued his psychic readings and as his fame grew so did his followers and subjects.

Some of his more famous predictions were those of the City of Atlantis and that it was a real place, also predicting its discovery in the late 1960's. In 1968 scuba divers found what appeared to be man made structures under the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Maybe it is part of Atlantis as Cayce predicted? Cayce also predicted the stock market crash of 1929, the participants and time that World War II began and shifts in the earths poles, just to name a few. He even spoke about an ancient people called the Essenes before modern man ever knew of their existence.

Cayce's predictions are well documented and his accuracy cannot be ignored. He described his prophecies in great detail, unlike that of Nostradamus. Cayce gave specific dates and names in his predictions leaving no room for interpretation. Things like the rise and fall of Hitler, Americas entry into the war and the the fall of communism. Cayce has also made predictions about the future that have yet to come true such as: natural catastrophies that will wipe out many of Earths coastlines, especially in the U.S. He speaks of earthquakes and volcanos that will be the destruction of many cities. Cayce also predicted that the earths poles would shift as they have done before. Not only Cayce but the Mayans, Einstein and modern geophysists have said that the earths poles have shifted before and could possibly again.

It should also be noted that Edgar Cayce was a devout Christian and believer in God. Therefore it is strange that he would mention that he believed that the world was over 10 million years old. That doesn't quite match up with biblical texts. So one can say that Cayce seperated his work from his religious beliefs and that it didn't influence his psychic readings. Although one of his predictions does seem spiritual. Cayce says that the destruction he predicts is a preamble to the spiritual enlightenment that will occur after the chaos. He says people will reach a much higher level of spirituality in the years to come bringing the advancement of the human race. Like all prophets, Cayce wasn't 100% accurate. But he may be the most accurate prophet of all time.
