Prophecy

some bible Prophecies served to warn, advising when urgent action was needed. A forceful example of this is Jesus’ warning of Jerusalem’s coming destruction and the situation that would signal the time for his followers to flee from her to a place of safety. (Lu 19:41-44; 21:7-21) Similar prophetic warnings apply to Christ’s presence.—Compare Mt 24:36-42.
 
One new wave of prophets, whose individual voices as well as whose collective Voice can be heard if we listen ... is a group including many of today's most gifted physicists (quantum physicists, astrophysicists, cosmologists, etc.), as well as quite a good number of science fiction writers. Happily, Douglas Adams would seem to have good standing within this group, while also being a really funny guy and a downright hoopy frood to boot. :D

Quite seriously though (again), Gene Roddenberry (of Star Trek fame) also exemplifies this group, and this type of prophecy. Some of the prognostications do concern technology itself, yet the greatest of insights in this form of prophecy center on the ethical use of technology, and draw us closer to Right Contemplation of its most benevolent (therefore Highest) purposes.

I would invoke the lessons from such literary & movie classics as The Day the Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet, Lord of the Rings, and the original Star Wars Trilogy, in support of this last point ... (since all of these stories treat of a common theme, while providing inspiration and suggesting pathways of positive change in a variety of images and motifs).

lunamoth Prophecy is not so much about telling the future as it is about recognizing the truth.
Probably one of the best things I read from you! That's just excellent! If there is a truthful path that we are following, a path towards God, and infinite path, it is planed by God and it is Gods will, there for to God it is as Good as already accomplished. It's when we fail to see Gods intensions when we are left behind and turn from him. Prophecy confirms Gods plan and guides are way and recognition of truth. Prophecy out of God works is Pseudo art to me.

much of what he wrote (other than his direct references to healing) is, in my view, deeply embedded in symbolism and can be interpreted at many levels (like all symbolism) .... for example he said it would take three to open the 'hall of records' and I don't think this means three peoplethis is part of the process in which revelations or visions take place .... the 'hall of records' or the place of all knowing opens and one is able to cross-over into the world of spirit]unquote

We have to investigate as to what is prophecy, revelation, visions and lucid dreams? Every revealed religion has a concept and resources about all these things and I respect sacred Scriptures of every Revealed Religion, though I may accept or not accept the contents of the same on merit. I am an Ahmadi, a faith in Islam by which I mean complete submission to One Absolute Truth (God) through continuous search in peace and respecting the humanity, in which we are already one.
I would start from Quran , others may quote their scriptures they believe in, as this Book has a special attribute of giving WORD OF GOD ,the most secure and protected, as also the Reason OF GOD ,in concentrated form; some opening verses of Chapter 12: Yusuf (Joseph).
[12:1] “In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
[12:2] Alif Lam Ra. These are verses of the clear Book.
[12:3] We have revealed it - the Qur'an in Arabic - that you may understand.
[12:4] We narrate unto thee the best of narrative in that We have revealed to thee this Qur'an though thou wast, before this among those unaware of the truth.
[12:5] Remember the time when Joseph said to his father, O my father, I saw in a dream eleven stars and the sun and the moon - I saw them making obeisance to me.'
[12:6] He said, 'O my dear son, relate not thy dream to thy brothers, lest they contrive a plot against thee, for Satan is to man an open enemy.
[12:7] 'And thus, as thou hast seen, thy Lord shall choose thee and teach thee the interpretations of things divine and perfect His favour upon thee and upon the family of Jacob as He perfected it upon thy two forefathers - Abraham and Isaac. Verily, thy Lord is All-Knowing, Wise.'
[12:8] Surely, in Joseph and his brethren there are Signs for the inquirers;”

many prophecies have already come true in the bible




what are some of the outstanding Bible prophecies that are yet to be fulfilled?




1 Thess. 5:3: “Whenever it is that they are saying: ‘Peace and security!’ then sudden destruction is to be instantly upon them just as the pang of distress upon a pregnant woman; and they will by no means escape.”




Rev. 17:16: “The ten horns that you saw, and the wild beast, these will hate the harlot [Babylon the Great] and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts and will completely burn her with fire.”



Ezek. 38:14-19: “You must say to Gog, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: “Will it not be in that day when my people [spiritual] Israel are dwelling in security that you will know it? And you will certainly come from your place, from the remotest parts of the north, you and many peoples with you . . . ” “And it must occur in that day, in the day when Gog comes in upon the soil of Israel,” is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, “that my rage will come up into my nose. And in my ardor, in the fire of my fury, I shall have to speak.”’”




Dan. 2:44: “The kingdom [set up by God] . . . will crush and put an end to all these [human] kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite.”



Ezek. 38:23: “I shall certainly magnify myself and sanctify myself and make myself known before the eyes of many nations; and they will have
to know that I am Jehovah.”



Rev. 20:1-3: “I saw an angel coming down out of heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. And he seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. And he hurled him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, that he might not mislead the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After these things he must be let loose for a little while.”




John 5:28, 29: “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced
vile things to a resurrection of judgment.”



Rev. 21:3, 4: “I heard a loud voice from the throne say: ‘Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.’”



1 Cor. 15:24-28: “Next, the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father . . . But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone.”




 
I doubt every prohecy. I see no spiritual or moral value in it. The future is just an imagination without substance and reality... it is nonexistent.

when it comes to the bible

The fact that many prophecies were fulfilled in their own times convinced sincere ones of God’s power to carry out his purpose despite all opposition.

It was proof of his unique Godship that he, and he alone, could foretell such events and bring them to pass. (Isa 41:21-26; 46:9-11)


Remember the first things of a long time ago, that I am the Divine One and there is no other God, nor anyone like me; the One telling from the beginning the finale, and from long ago the things that have not been done; the One saying, ‘My own counsel will stand, and everything that is my delight I shall do’; the One calling from the sunrising a bird of prey, from a distant land the man to execute my counsel. I have even spoken [it]; I shall also bring it in. I have formed [it], I shall also do it.
isaiah 46;9-11
