It seems that almost everyone has his list of prophecies that need to be fulfilled before Jesus can returned. Many of these are based on the Book of Revelation, even though some of the early Church leaders thought that book unworthy of inclusion in the New Testament. Origen disputed the book's value, and, in the fourth century, Eusebius only agreed to its inclusion 'if thought proper."

Mark chapter 13 provides the clearest definitive list of events that needed to occur before the Second coming. Jesus told his listeners that they would see the great buildings of Jerusalem destroyed, and the abomination of desolation, followed by the Son of man coming in clouds of glory, and that this would take place during their own generation. Mark 9:1 foreshadows the fuller account in chapter 13, saying that some of those who stand here will not taste death until they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. While the destruction of Jerusalem's great buildings and abomination of desolation certainly occurred, as did the civil war that saw family members slaughter each other, the world did not end, but at the time of writing (about 70 CE) it certainly seemed as if the end was nigh.

Mark's Gospel contains all the prophecies that he believed needed to be fulfilled before the Second Coming. If Jesus did not return within that generation, there is no need to find new prophecies that need to be fulfilled. Perhaps it simply is not going to happen.

What will happen after the Messiah comes?

The Good News is the messiah has come to save us. Jesus Christ laid down his life so you can have life in him. He will return and when he does everyone will know without a shadow of doubt that he is the Lord of lords and King of kings. He will come from the heavens and his light will be seen by everyone. Isaiah has some prophecies of the messiah which most are fulfilled and some will be fulfilled when he returns and evil is eliminated. Revelations talks about his second coming which goes along the prophecies of Isaiah. All the prophecies Jesus was to fulfill on earth he fulfilled and all the prophecies he will fulfill when he returns will be fulfilled.

What is the Christ?

Christ is the English form of the Greek word Christoswhich was the Greek word for the Hebrew word Messias or Messiah. It means anointed in the Hebrew and is commonly used of kings and especially the great Davidic king who was to come to save His people Israel. Messianic prophecies are the indications of the great deliverance to come, spread through almost every book of the Old Testament, beginnning with the promises of a redeemer after the Fall and found in Malachias, the last of the prophets.There were literally hundreds of these prophecies all throughout the Old Testament and Our Blessed Lord fulfilled every single one, the prophecies concerning Our Blessed Lord, all taken together and all being fulfilled precisely runs into 1 to so many zeros, I can't even guess. The odds just one of the most well known prophecies all being fulfilled is: Well, look at eight: The probability that Jesus of Nazareth could have fulfilled even eight such prophecies would be only 1 in 1017. That's 1 in 100, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000.Christ is the answer, the saving hope, the only thing that makes our life on earth make sense; What is the Christ? The Christ is God Incarnate on earth to save you and me!


Why is it that the most accurate prophesy about Jesus and American history comes from England Britain American rock and roll music?

It is uncertain which prophecy is being referred to, but in order for it to be accurate it would have to be from the Bible anyway. Also, there is a slight problem with chronology, since predictive prophecy needs to occur before the event and Jesus lived around 2000 years ago on the earth, although He certainly will return. As many prophecies about the future return of Jesus remain to be fulfilled, these will be shown to be accurate in due course. Wow... it's nice you can be so sure. It isn't even historically proven that he was a real person.
