What has been predicted by the Bible, prophets, military intelligence, and other figures who are able to glimpse into the future?
A few suggestions I have are the project looking glass explanation by the high level insider:
Another is related to the deagel forecast, another intelligence asset:

Kim Clement prophecies as well, quite a rabbit hole indeed.
Would be great if someone else could give a rundown on revelation prophecies as I’m not nearly learned enough in them.
The end time prophecies of the Bible are more than just Revelation.
You must look at Daniel for a description of the antichrist and the final 7 year period.
Jeremiah and Ezekiel have prophecies and wisdom still relevant.
Most critical imo is the words of Jesus in Matthew 24, as they support a Mid, Pre-Wrath (IMO), or Post Trib period. Many Christians have been deceived in pop culture to believe the Rapture happens before the Great Tribulation. Also, imo it is not super useful to focus solely on eschatology (study of the end times) as many people throughout history thought they might be living in it (Bolsheviks, WW1, WW2).
There are also many antichrists throughout history as a precursor to the antichrist who will be indwelt by the beast.
3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.
9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then many will fall away[a] and betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
The Abomination of Desolation 15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, 18 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 19 And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.
29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Many Christians have been deceived in pop culture to believe the Rapture happens before the Great Tribulation.
Actually, I have been "deceived" about it by the KJV.
First of all, to separate the "tribulation" from the "wrath" is a private interpretation. Daniel foretold of a 7 year continuous time period commonly referred to as "a time of great tribulation," Jacob's trouble, the day of the Lord and several other names. The 1st seal opened sends the antiChrist into the world followed by the 2nd seal sending death. If this isn't God's wrath being poured out, then what is? Just the opening of the seals tells you this is God's decree on the world.
Isaiah 57:1 KJV The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
Speaks for itself^^, don't it?
Revelation 4 KJV 1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
Revelation 5 KJV 9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and --->hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;<----
Before any seals are opened^^.
There is so much more proving a pretrib rapture, especially the minor prophets of the Old Testament.
You are welcome to read Jesus' words in Matthew 24, they are not much different than the ESV I posted.
To me the vials/bowls indicate the complete wrath of God on that day. As described as such in Revelation 15.
Isaiah 57 describes how righteous men die in order to be taken away from the evil to come. We are reunited with God in heaven. :)
Revelation 4 says it is referring to John (talking with me) not us or all believers
Revelation 5 is referring to there are believers redeemed through the Gospel of all kindred, tongue, and nations. This is a pre requisite to the end times but not describing a rapture.
The only thing I can potentially figure for a pre trib interpretion of the "rapture" were if there were 2 separate gatherings of the saints, which may be handled differently.
Hope this helps clarify. My mom also believes in a pre trib rapture. I just don't want anyone to be surprised if they are here for the Great Tribulation. God bless.
You are welcome to read Jesus' words in Matthew 24
Matt 24 is tribulation scripture spoken to Jews who were/will be under a faith and works based salvation. He that shall endure to the end has nothing to do with the Church age, people saved by having faith in God's grace and are eternally secure in their salvation.
they are not much different than the ESV I posted.
The esv is an Egyptian/ roman bible and has been corrupted by satan. You may want to consider a KJV. God wants you study His Words, not satan's.
To me the vials/bowls indicate the complete wrath of God on that day.
So death and hell being allowed to kill a third of men is not wrath?
Isaiah 57 describes how righteous men die in order to be taken away from the evil to come.
The scripture says taken away specifically from the evil to come. Men have been dying for 6000 years to avoid the wrath?
Revelation 4 says it is referring to John (talking with me) not us or all believers
Revelation 4 shows a door open into Heaven, a trumpet voice being sounded and and an invitation to come up hither. It's a clear picture of the rapture of the church before any seals are opened.
Revelation 5 is referring to there are believers redeemed through the Gospel of all kindred, tongue, and nations.
That's nice but the scripture is a picture of people redeemed by blood already in Heaven. Before any seals are opened.
The only thing I can potentially figure for a pre trib interpretation of the "rapture" were if there were 2 separate gatherings of the saints, which may be handled differently.
There is, actually 3 separate raptures. The first is the church age saints (look for the word "church" in Rev 4-20, you won't find it,) the second is the harvest of tribulation saints (those who do not worship the image or take the mark) and the third is the gleanings, tribulation saints that endure to the end. This doesn't count Enoch, Elijah, Moses or the opened graves in Matthew 27.
Your mom is right. Remember that the entire purpose of the "tribulations" is to restore the nation of Israel into it's promised Kingdom. And a cool fact to know about the Church age, the purpose of it is to replace the third of the angels that were lost to sin. So that we can help the Lord minister to the people in the thousand year reign and into eternity. That's why we are given the mind of Christ and become a part of the body of Christ. The nation of Israel is required to offer sacrifices in the Temple for eternity and eat from the tree of life to remain alive. Believers are eternal beings in the Lord.
I don't understand where you are pulling most of your conclusions from as they are not based in scripture but in pre-suppositional readings (assuming passage must fit with pre supposed conclusion) as far as I can tell.
Do you think Matthew 24:14 has been fulfilled already? It is referring to the end, end.
I like KJV and read both. I do not believe in ESV being a corrupted version but when in doubt about a passage in any version I go to a combination of versions including my interlinear. Wycliffe is a solid organization working to fulfill Matthew 24:14.
Death killing a third of man doesn't have to include Christians. God poured out His wrath in Noah's time but saved Noah and his family.
In Isaiah the evil to come may refer to the judgment that came upon Israel from her enemies pre exile, or yes throughout all time. Yes I believe sometimes God has righteous people die to avoid them going through a great evil.
In Revelation 5 it sounds like we are in full agreement! Some believers will be in heaven before the rapture. If you or I die today we will be with Jesus.
I appreciate your input, thank you.
