Good luck to you then. You'll need it.
Why would we need "luck," when we have God!

Dear Sir;
It is not sufficient to simply say that having God in one's life is sufficient for ALL.

In case you missed the title: what's the very very very next prophecy that's supposed to occur?
I think you say it best: aren't you prepared for it?? I would be worried about BEING PREPARED! We're all witnesses as to how many mindsets, paradigms, philosophies, interpretations and thus divisions abound in the christian community and of course everybody is right in thier own opinion. The time is coming when we'll have to act upon all Yeshua's warnings. The problem is everybody has a different interpretation of His warnings! Can you imagine how it would have been if every hebrew in the wilderness followed thier own concept of what Moses instructed? THey would have scattered all over the place and never reached their destination. Is that what's happening this time around with God's people?
Reading Paul's and rjp's comments points me to the answer of my own question in this forum. It's something i've wrote about in the past and has come back to haunt me very recently: I think the very very very next prophecy to occur (trust me, you cannot possibly imagine how horrible a feeling it is to write this) is the destruction of America.
I think God is calling, and has been calling on His people in the land of America to prepare; for what's coming is B-A-D! I STRONGLY suggest you read the following article below and get with God as to the accuracy, veracity and truth behind the commentaries and sources behind what you will read.
God bless.

The second beast of Rev.13:11 forward is a religious beast, a false messiah working great signs and wonders on the earth to deceive with.
Like someone here already showed, a false one will make a league with many for 7 years (symbolic "one week" of Dan.9), confirming a covenant which is most likely a renewal of the Old Covenant worship and animal sacrifices. Then in the middle of that 7 years the religious beast will appear ending the daily sacrifice and set himself up to be worshipped in place of Christ.
Didn't that happen when the Romans stopped the sacrifices and desecrated the temple before destroying Jerusalem? back in 70 A.D. ?
Per the Jewish historian Josephus (100 A.D.), the Romans never were able to enter the Jerusalem temple before it burned. It caught fire prior to their being able to desolate it with setting up any abomination (idol) within it.
But Antiochus Epiphanes in 165 B.C. did enter the temple and sacrificed swine upon the altar, and spread its broth around inside the temple, and also setup an altar to Zeus to try and make Greek religion the universal religion for all. However, Antiochus was already long dead when Christ mentioned the abomination of desolation prophecy from the Book of Daniel while overlooking the Temple Mount from the Mount of Olives with His disciples.
The "abomination of desolation" prophecy from Daniel is a multiple fulfillment type of prophecy, like what has been will be again. What the Romans did in 70 A.D. Jerusalem may be seen as a 'type' of fulfillment, but it was not the one our Lord Jesus pointed to in final within His Olivet discourse (Matt.24; Mark 13). It's very easy to know that, because our Lord Jesus was giving the seven signs of the end of this world, paralleled in Revelation 6 with the seven seals.
And what do we know about fulfillment of Bible prophecy for this world when the Revelation seals, trumpets, and vials are completed? We know He will have returned to this earth, back to the spot where He ascended to Heaven from, gathering all the saints to Him there, His cup of wrath poured out upon the wicked, the resurrection happenning, and all the kingdoms of this world becoming under His rule with His elect. Those are to be literal events of fulfillment. And none of that has happenned yet today.
Now to say the events of the seven seals, trumpets, and vials of Revelation is already history, is to try and say Christ Jesus has returned, and that He with His elect are now ruling over all kingdoms of this world, and, that the resurrection is past also. That would be to preach acceptance of this world and how it is now, still with wickedness going on, with those who sleep in Jesus still not with us, and the beliefs in many various gods by peoples on this earth still manifest.
Some within the Preterist and Historicist views today believe exactly that, that Christ's second coming is only a spiritual coming, and that it happenned back in 70 A.D. with the Matthew 24 prophecy fulfilled then. That simply does not align within God's Holy Writ. If an event such as Christ's second coming can be spiritualized into a non-literal event, then any prophecy given in God's Word can. That is very dangerous thinking. And it should be a major sign of doctrine originating from the crept in unawares who seek to destroy God's Truth.
