Prophecies Fulfilled

[Phoenix]

Here's an SDA's list.

A. The Destruction of Jerusalem
Prophecy: “There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” “Let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains.” Matthew 24:2, 16.
Fulfillment: Jerusalem was destroyed in A.D. 70 by the Roman warrior Titus.

B. A Great Persecution, or Tribulation
Prophecy: “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world.” Matthew 24:21.
Fulfillment: This prophecy points primarily to the long period of tribulation that took place during the Dark Ages and was instigated by the apostate church. It lasted more than 1,000 years. Over 50 million Christians were slain for their faith in this terrible tribulation period. One writer says the apostate church “has shed more innocent blood than any other institution that has ever existed among mankind.” W.E.H. Lecky, History of the Rise and Influence of the Spirit of Rationalism in Europe, (Reprint; New York: Braziller, 1955) Vol. 2, pp. 40-45.

C. The Sun Turned into Darkness
Prophecy: “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened.” Matthew 24:29.
Fulfillment: This was fulfilled by a day of supernatural darkness on May 19, 1780. It was not an eclipse. Timothy Dwight says, “The 19th of May, 1780, was a remarkable dark day. Candles were lighted in many houses; the birds were silent and disappeared, and the fowls retired to roost. … A very general opinion prevailed, that the day of judgment was at hand.” Quoted in Connecticut Historical Collections, compiled by John Warner Barber (2nd ed.; New Haven: Durrie & Peck and J.W. Barber, 1836) p. 403.

D. The Moon Turned into Blood
Prophecy: “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come.” Joel 2:31.
Fulfillment: The moon became as red as blood on the night of the “dark day,” May 19, 1780. Milo Bostick in Stone's History of Massachusetts says, “The moon which was at its full, had the appearance of blood.”

E. The Stars Fall from Heaven
Prophecy: “And the stars shall fall from heaven.” Matthew 24:29.
Fulfillment: The great star shower took place on the night of November 13, 1833. It was so bright that a newspaper could be read on the street. One writer says, “For nearly four hours the sky was literally ablaze.”* Men thought the end of the world had come. Look into this. It is most fascinating, and a sign of Christ's coming.
*Peter A. Millman, “The Falling of the Stars,” The Telescope, 7 (May-June, 1940) 57.

F. Jesus Comes in the Clouds
Prophecy: “And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” Matthew 24:30.
Fulfillment: This is the next great event. Are you ready?

Hi P,
I think that the fulfillment of any of these prophecies would be focussed on the land of Israel.

Hi P,
An interesting site for the view from Israel is that of The Watchman, Greg Killian, A Jew who has embraced Jesus.

Hi Phoenix:

Thanks for showing us what Doug believes relative to these prophecies.  I agree with him that the prophecy regarding the temple being destroyed has been fulfilled when Titus destroyed it in 70 A.D..

However, I don't believe that the remainder of the prophecies that he indicates have been fulfilled have been fulfilled because I believe that they follow after the Abomination of Desolation which I believe is when the Anti-Christ sets himself up in the temple showing that he is God (2 Thes. 2:3-4).

God Bless

The SDA believe that the POPE (the system, each Pope being an antichrist, not necessarily THE antichrist until the end) is the antichrist who has set himself up in the temple (your body) of God.
Our bodies are then temples of God. The Pope with his false doctrines has been accepted as god because people accept his doctrine rather that the word of God. Makes sense?
Of course the mark of the antichrist is the changed law of the forth Commandment that the office of Pope did change and many peoples follow.
This prophecy has been fulfilled:
Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Compare Rev 12:6.

Hi Krench:

Thanks for showing me what they and apparently you believe relative to the Anti-Christ and the mark of the beast which clarifies why they believe that these prohecies have been fulfilled.  I just happen to disagree with their and your understanding.  But the truth will be revealed one way or the other.

Only the Word of God will survive the fire.  (1 Co. 2:10-15)

God Bless

I don't see and understand ALL things.  There is a saying that understanding the word is like the sun being behind window blinds.  If opened all at once we would go blind at not see at all. That is why the blinds are opened one at a time.  
I like your attitude not condeming but not seeing the same way.  In deed the Truth will win!  I will always accept the truth. I love the TRUTH.

God Bless 94,

Ken

Are you and Tim related?  I keep getting you two mixed up LOL!

Hi Brother Ken:

Thanks for the kind words, but what I have done is to try to put into practice what God has taught me, and that is to approach any one who may have a different understanding of a scripture or scriptures than me not judging them to be wrong but with the possibility that I might be the one in error.

In this approach I would let you know that my understanding of a particular scripture was different than yours, and I would ask if I could give you my understanding.  If through my understanding, you were corrected then we would be walking in unity with regard to that scripture, and if I corrected by your undersanding of the scripture also, but if we could not agree after we have discussed our differences, we could go to God in prayer asking give us understanding so that we could come into unity.  

What I have said is that if I am wrong in all that I do, when I am corrected by God then I will be right.  I don't mind being corrected if I am wrong, in fact, I welcome my correction.

I believe that I am correct in what I teach otherwise I would not be teaching this way, but that should be the case with you and any one that is teaching the scriptures in sincerity.

However, until God confirms my teaching with the type of miracles that He did in the ministry of our Lord Jesus and of the Apostles, it is possible that I could be in error, but if he confirms my teaching, it will not be me simply saying that I am right, but God that is saying that I a right.  Ultimately, that is what matters.

Yes, Tim and I  are related in that we are brothers in Christ.  Other than that I don't know that we are related.

I also that know that you and I are brothers in Christ, and I look forward to the relationship that we will have both here and in the world to come.

Let's study to show ourselves approved rightly dividing the word of truth being work men who not need be ashamed.  (2 Ti 2:15)

God Bless
