Predictions


If my interpretation of Bible Prophecy is correct, then there are several predictions I can make about the near future:



1. The Fall of New York & Rise of the UN

The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire... ...The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.

Revelation 17:16,18


As I cover here, the woman/prostitute, or "the great city that rules over the kings of the earth" is New York, home of the UN Headquarters. And as I cover here, the United Nations is the beast this woman is riding. Up until now, the United States has been the dominant superpower in the world, and has been leading the UN, as described in Revelation 17. However, a time is coming when it will be burned with fire. The beast, or United Nations, will take its place as the pre-eminent superpower in the world:


People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, "Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?"

Revelation 13:4


This will not be the end of the United States, but its power will be severely curtailed, see Daniel 7:4,12. The United Nations will take over as the world's primary superpower, in order for the events leading up to the Return of Jesus to take place. In particular, the battle of Armageddon described in Revelation 16 & 19.


NB: Revelation 17,18 seems to describe two separate judgments on "Babylon the Great"/New York. The first is the burning with fire from Revelation 17:16-18:20, which also corresponds to the eagle's wings being torn off the lion in Daniel 7:4. The second, more final judgment, is described in Revelation 18:21-24, Revelation 16:19 and occurs when Jesus returns.



2. A Rise in Worldwide Christian Persecution

The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty two months. It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. It was given power to wage war against God's holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast - all whose names have not been written in the Lamb's book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.

Whoever has ears, let them hear.

"If anyone is to go into captivity,

into captivity they will go.

If anyone if to be killed with the sword,

with the sword they will be killed."

This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God's people.

Revelation 13:5-10


The rise of the UN as mentioned in my first prediction will lead to it waging war against God's holy people.



3. A UN Invasion of Israel & Jerusalem

I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.

Zechariah 14:2

This is the key sign that Jesus is about to return! It is described in several places in the Bible, in particular: Joel 3, Zechariah 12-14, Ezekiel 38-39, Revelation 16 and Revelation 19. At first it may appear to be partly successful, but then Jesus will arrive at the head of the armies of heaven.



4. A Third Invasion of Ukraine

"And there before me was a second beast, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, "Get up and eat your fill of flesh!"

Daniel 7:5


As I cover here, the bear is Russia. Russia first invaded Ukraine in February 2014, seizing Crimea and parts of the eastern Donbas region. The second invasion took place in February 2022. I remember at the time seeing maps of this second invasion, and they looked like jaws closing on Ukraine. However, as Daniel predicted, the invasion was only partly successful and Russia captured another "rib" but didn't overrun Ukraine. Daniel's prophecy indicates to me that a third (and final) invasion is coming, when Russia will seize yet more territory from Ukraine. But Russia will not be able to finish Ukraine off, and the fact the ribs remain in its mouth mean that Russia will be unable to completely swallow up this territory.


Note that I have listed this last in my list, but it could happen at any time, the Bible doesn't specify exactly when it will occur.
