That's an example of a pridefull belief in the elders of Judah, and not in Christ Jesus' Own words there.
The time of Christ's return is not dependent upon ANY man.
Those will not say that until... they see Christ's coming per Rev.1:7. It's Christ's coming that make them say that.
Prophesy is not reading tea leaves. Prophets told the truth about past, present and obvious conclusions about what would happen if leaders did not change their evil path. They were the people that you guys hate on this board - critics of the status quo. False prophets warn about the consequences of not following their lies - therefore, their conclusions never come to fruition.
All prophecy in the Bible either happened before the the prophecy, during the time of the prophecy or was the obvious conclusion of wicked ways OR the eventual intervention of Christ.
Most of the Book of Revelation has already happened - Christ is simply waiting for His harvest to ripen and then He will reap it. Again, the Book of Revelation points to Christ.
Sorry Veteran, I missed reading your post until just now.
My point was that if someone offers to explain future prophecies, that they should equally be able to explain past prophecies, -- not that Scripture doesn't answer these.
So if you explain the prophecies-which-are-future as defined in your Post #8, then you should certainly be able to provide an account of the prophecies-which-are-past. Certainly the latter is easier than the former, and it's verifiable.
Where you asserted the next prophecy-which-is-future, did you forget to cite the last prophecy-which-is-past? Or did you want to schedule a mind-meld?
No, I didn't forget to cite a previous fulfilled prophecy, for such was not asked for in the OP. Different words 'next' and 'past' ya know.
what is generic hand waving?
I don't think it's wise for me, at this point when my heart isn't convinced either way, to choose whether I believe in the rapture or not. It doesn't matter to me. I need Christ's protection every day, and He will be with me until the end regardless. What I am interested in knowing is "what is the next prophesy to be fullfilled?" I really get confused reading Daniel and Revelations and Ezekiel. Just if someone can tell me what we're looking for next? Maybe it's Christ's return, maybe something else. What do you think?
... if you explain the prophecies-which-are-future ..., then you should certainly be able to provide an account of the prophecies-which-are-past. Certainly the latter is easier than the former, and it's verifiable.

So in accordance with the Topic title, I ask once again, -- is there anyone who can identify the prophecy most recently fulfilled, and the next prophecy?
...
Shalom, aspen.
It's when the genes for the right hand are waving goodbye to the genes for the left hand during mitosis!
What is the most recent fulfilled prophecy, and the next anticipated prophecy?
4,617 members, and no answer. It certainly doesn't speak well for the "church".
I would say Ezekiel 38-39... That is the prophecy most imminent.
Could you explain?
If you agree that a accurate understanding of past events can substantiate an understanding of future events, and refuse to provide both, then I would expect you have neither.
It is the coming of Christ's two witnesses.
THE FUTURE:
The previous point made is probably why many Christians cannot answer the question as to 'what's next' on the prophetic time table. They simply don't want to believe, for a number of reasons, that their religious club is ending. Personally, I prefer to believe that Jesus, our Christ, is merely tossing out the dead wood. The real church is stronger than ever. It just cannot be seen.
Be that as it may, the Great Apostacy is upon us - in spades. The Bible says that the next thing to happen is the revealing of the Anti Christ, the great heathen master of many who will seduce the world into dancing his devilish jig.
Look for him soon in a newspaper near you. It will not be long before his murderous face appears.
