There are certainly many hundreds of varying prophecies in the Bible and obviously we haven’t the time or space to evaluate them all, so I’ve selected some, that I think, are mega-beneficial for everybody to know.  The prophecies are not in a chronological order, but hopefully there is a connecting flow so it is easier to understand.  As you most likely have picked already, I’m a bit of a simple Joe type of person, nothing too complicated or mind-boggling, just very interesting facts that we do well to consider. 

The first prophecy is from the Book of Daniel, it was most likely spoken around 602BC, at the time when the Great Kingdom of Babylon was at its absolute peak.  Daniel’s country (the Judah portion of Israel) had been invaded and conquered by Babylonian military forces and Daniel was one of a group of selected youths that were taken back to Babylon to stand in the Kings palace (Dan 1:4), Daniel was most likely around 17yrs old, so it would have been extremely traumatic for him. But he held his own and never lost sight of the fact that the God of Israel was Righteous and his laws, perfect.

Daniel was a remarkable person, even as a teenager he was inspirational, he was the sort of person you love being around and what happened in Daniel chapter 2 is a classic example as to why.

The King of Babylon was man called Nebuchadnezzar, which is a historical fact, his kingdom was the greatest kingdom of men and he was the leader, and anybody with one or more brain-cells between his ears knew he wasn’t to be messed with, in any form.  So what happened is the King had a dream and it bothered him, mainly because he was convinced it (the dream) had a meaning, and as a king has every right to do he asked the wise men of his Kingdom to tell him the meaning.  They asked him to explain the dream and said they would then interpret it for him, but being the King, and no doubt knowing anybody could say pretty well whatever they wanted re the interpretation, he said (just so he knew they were genuine) that they needed to tell him what the dream was and then give him the interpretation, which of course, they couldn’t.  So a major impasse arose for all concerned, especially as he had said they would lose their life (Dan2:12) if they could not do so. 

Being part of the Kings palace personnel meant Daniels life wasn’t as secure as he would have wanted it to be, but rather than panic, he went into the King himself and asked for some time that he might shew the King (the dream) and the interpretation.  He then prayed to God (the only living God) asking God to tell him the dream and the interpretation, which is exactly what happened, and as amazing as these happenings were they actually pale into insignificance when compared to what was to come. 

So Daniel prayed with a few of his fellow captive friends and as is always the case when you sincerely call on God, he hears you and he answers, yep the God who created everything hears and delivers, and that is precisely what he did for Daniel.  Daniel was told (or shown) by God what the dream was and also was given the interpretation, which, I reckon, is amazing and incredible rolled into one, he then was taken to the King and confidently proceeded to explain what he had been revealed by God.

The Dream was explained to Nebuchadnezzar, and we can only wonder at what Nebuchadnezzar was thinking as he realised this, maybe 18 yrs old captive boy was Judah was perfectly correct in telling the King his dream and then the interpretation.  

So that is amazing, but it was only the beginning because Daniel then boldly (but not arrogantly) told the King that he would give the interpretation of the dream.  What courage he had, I find it extremely difficult to comprehend, but he did it and he did it very very well.

So, a great story, I certainly think so, but as the saying goes, there’s more, and it is a lot more, not a bit more.  Let me explain.

As I mentioned earlier, this dream and interpretation was given over 2500yrs ago, what is phenomenal is that in that time that dream in it most simplistic form has perfectly described the coming and going of every major kingdom (in that area) since Babylon. 

Babylon was conquered by an inferior Kingdom, which was the Medo-Persian empire approximately 68yrs later, that kingdom/empire lasted 200yrs and then was overthrown by Alexander the Great and his Grecian army, that Kingdom/empire lasted just over 300 yrs and then the Romans became a very strong, very dominant force that remained that way until the Roman Empire morphed into the HOLY Roman Empire, which basically a weaker version when compared to the original Roman army, but still very deliberate in controlling a large amount of people, but not as ruthless (in appearance) or as powerful as the Roman armies that dominated for 600yrs after the Grecian conquest. A point of interest is in Daniel chapter 7, this chapter is the same account as spoken of in Daniel 2 but this time the empires are identified with different symbolism, in the descriptions the 3rd Kingdom (which was Grecian the kingdom) is said to have divided into four.  This did happen after the death of Alexander the Great, as four of his generals took command.  I only make mention of it because that type of accuracy is challenging, even if we are a doubtful, approximately 300yrs before the event, speaking very specifically, and it coming to pass so literally, common-sense recommends that, at the very least, we should take note.    

And it was during the reign of the Romans that the greatest events that have ever taken place on our earth actually took place, God very deliberately intervened in the affairs of men and begun a Kingdom that shall never end, this Kingdom needed something perfect to die on behalf of mankind, and this is exactly what happened, Jesus Christ, the Son of the Eternal God (as the Bible very clearly prophesied) willingly gave his life so that the Kingdom of God could be established on our little planet, and as ridiculous and far-fetched as it sounds, this is what happened, and more to the point it can be factually proven.  I know it sounds too good to be true, I get that, but if you honestly assess the facts you will discover it is true, and this website hopefully will assist you to realise just that.
