"Does The Bible Really Predict The Future? Why Not Ask Grok?"

According to Grok, (Elon's xAi chatbot with attitude) the question of whether the Bible predicts the future is a complex one. And believe it or not, Grok gives a surprisingly open-minded, detailed and fair summary of a variety of opinions. Good on him.

The truth? The Bible is a library of 66 books written by 40 authors over a period of 2500 years. "It's an integrated message system from outside our time domain", according to biblical scholars. 

Outside our time domain? Yes, because it gives an outline of human history from beginning to end. Which makes the Bible supernatural because it does indeed predict the future, considering that 80% of its prophecies have already been fulfilled with 100% accuracy. The 20% that remain deal almost exclusively with what's coming or the end times.

Furthermore, the Old Testament contains 16 books devoted entirely to prophecy, while all 39 OT books are "woven" with prophecy.

And can anyone doubt Bible prophecy plays a leading role in the New Testament? For instance: "Out of the 216 chapters in the New Testament, there are 318 references to the Second Coming of Christ," according to prophecy teacher Dr. David Jeremiah of Turning Point Ministries.

"If we were to omit all the prophetic passages, we would have to remove one out of every thirty verses in the New Testament," he said.

And that's not all. Dr. Jeremiah points out we would also have to skip 23 of the 27 New Testament books that mention prophecy. In fact, for every prediction about the birth of Christ, there are eight about His Second Coming.

And yet, many churches still neglect to teach on the subject. Why?

Dr. Jeremiah believes some avoid prophecy because it seems difficult to understand. Others feel too overwhelmed by the present to think about the future. And some (believe it or not) don't see its relevance.

"Jesus often spoke about the future and rebuked people who didn't recognize the significance of the events around them," contends Jeremiah and goes on to insist, "Jesus expects us to investigate what the Bible says about the future and seek His guidance as we attempt to understand the day and hour in which we live."

Given prophecy's prominence in Scripture, there can be little doubt Dr. David Jeremiah is absolutely right.

A wise man once said: "While many Christians are content to leave prophecy's pages shrouded in mystery and misunderstanding, it is the only reliable information about our tomorrows. God knows the end from the beginning and foretells the future with absolute accuracy. The Book of Revelation, along with other end-time prophecies, gives us a snapshot of the events that will precede the end of the world as we know it. The very word revelation means 'the unfolding of that which was previously hidden or unknown.'" -- Dr. David Jeremiah

"I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient time, what is still to come. I say "My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please"" (ISAIAH 46:10).

Has The World Always Been This Crazy Or Is The Bible Coming True?

While most of us are still reeling from recent political events, long time prophecy teacher, Hal Lindsey, has a way of putting things back into perspective. After all, Jesus told us there would be days like this. 

Days like what? Political upheaval and assassination attempts? People at each other's throats over Presidential candidates?  Growing hostilities between nations or war in the Middle East? Threats of cyber, nuclear or biological warfare?

According to Lindsey, most people make no connection between current events &  Bible prophecy. Why? Because the world has always had its problems.

Lindsey contends:

"Critics of end-time Bible prophecy often say exactly what the Bible said they will say."

For instance, in 2 Peter 3:3-4, it says, 

"First, I want to remind you that in the last days there will be scoffers who will laugh at the truth and do every evil thing they desire. This will be their argument, 'Jesus promised to come back, did He? Then where is He? Why, as far back as anyone can remember, everything has remained exactly the same since the world was first created."

Even now, when major end-time prophecies can be easily proven (Example? The Bible predicted the nation of Israel would be scattered throughout the world and cease to exist for many years and then be re-gathered again in the end-times. In 70 A.D. they were scattered. Israel's name was changed to Palestine as an insult to Jews. In 1948, Israel was re-established and became a nation again after almost 2,000 years of nonesistence). According to Lindsey the scoffers are still at it:

"Wars and rumors of war? Nothing new there, they say. Famines? They were worse in the past. Plagues and pandemics? We had a bad one for a couple of years, but the world has had worse. Lawlessness? Humanity has always had its crooks and creeps. Deception? People started lying right after they started talking. So, what's new? What's different?"

What's new and different is the fact that all the signs are here everywhere all at once. The entire world is facing the same existential threats. 

And of course, the biggest of all signs: Israel is back in the land, a sign God said would take place in the last days. 

According to Lindsey:

"Before each of the first two world wars, everyone saw the terrible possibilities. But almost no one really thought it would happen. They thought cooler heads would prevail. But cool heads did not prevail. Pride prevailed. Greed prevailed. Hate prevailed.

"It's happening again, but this time with the added threat of nuclear weapons. As before, no one believes it will really happen. But the signs are there. War threatens every part of the earth..."

And exactly as the Bible predicted, geopolitical alliances are forming before our very eyes along with:

  • global deception
  • world-wide lawlessness, crime, ethnic hate
  • global epidemics
  • coming famines 
  • earthquakes in various places
How much longer can the scoffers scoff ?

A wise man once said: "What's unique about today is that the hundreds of biblical end-times signs are converging and intensifying...accompanied by a rise of technology perfectly fitted to Antichrist and the mark of the beast. The signs are all coming together right now. Keep your eyes on Jesus. Take care of your business, but do not let the cares of this world distract you from Him. Look up. Maranatha! Jesus is coming soon!" -- Hal Lindsey, author

"See I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to repay all according to their deeds. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End" (REVELATION 22:12-13).
