I AM A PROPHET and I prophesy Title: 2020 in Bible Prophecy Hi guys, IT's that time again, to make my annual prognostications. Taken from the last page of my new book, The Revelation, 2020 edition: 2020 (and beyond) in Bible Prophecy © 12/31/2019 Barry Midyet As always, I must add my standard qualifier here, These predictions are based on the Bible, and cannot fail to come true, But I may be ahead of God’s timetable by a year or two. 1. Last plagues one and five will start to level off and dissipate, But others – like global warming – may last a few decades yet. (See Revelation 16:1-9) 2. Ar Mageddon will rage for a couple more years or thereabout Until all the demon-possessed kings of the East are taken out. (See Revelation 16:12-21) 3. Every day you wake up in the U-S-A, Bullets will spray (at least) two times a day. (See Revelation 19:20) 4. After a thousand years of great schisms, and pandemonium, The Church will unite as one for a glorious millennium. (See John 17:20-23 and Revelation 20:1-3) 5. When the nations not wearing a wedding garment are booted from NATO, The remnant will rule the Earth with Jesus in a thousand-year crescendo. (See Matthew 22:1-14 and Revelation 20:4a) 6. Someone now alive will live to be a thousand with increase in knowledge, And men will reach the heavenly planet with no sea within two decades. (See Revelation 20:4b-6 and 21:1-2) Thy Kingdom come on the Earth as it is in Heaven, Amen Barry Midyet Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 30. These predictions are based on the Bible... I'm trying to understand your exegesis if Revelation 16... It would be most helpful to know, for example, who taught you Revelation? Or, what are the primary source materials/commentaries that led you to your conclusions about Rev.16?
#10. To: watchman (#6) 'm trying to understand your exegesis if Revelation 16... Thank you for your response and questions. But no one taught me my (historicist) view Revelation, and there are no source materials or commentaries with the exception of two 16th century sources when the historicist view was virtually the only view of the Revelation (before Whitefield invented the futurist view in the 1700's). One example of an early historicist view is the marginal notes on the Revelation found in some editions of the Geneva Bible, but unfortunately I dont know who wrote them (and I dont think anyone does, they were simply the accepted view at the time). For example the Geneva Bible says St. Constantine is the first horseman and the second Christian conqueror / horseman is Charlemagne (which I fully agree with). Another source is of course Nostradamus (who wrote his predictions at about the same time). That's why some posters on this site call me Nostradamus Junior. But that does not mean that I agree with either one of those historist views beyond that. I like to think my views are entirely my own. More (on Ch. 16 and what's happening today) later ...
#12. To: interpreter (#10) (Edited) But no one taught me my (historicist) view Revelation... Yes, I thought I was detecting a historicist view...for which there is actually a very large body of commentary. The historicist view of Revelation predicts and ascribes specific events (or persons) of history...to specific prophetic events (or persons) listed in Revelation. The historicist view, while mostly fallen from use, is still followed by the Seventh Day Adventists (and David Koresh/Branch Dividians) And fair to say, the historicist view has largely been replaced by the futurist (dispensational) view, or the preterist (reformed) view. The main problem with the historicist view is that each generation of commentors (like yourself) must readjust their view to accommodate the new events of history as history unfolds. The problem compounds as Christ delays His return! That's why I hold a futurist/dispensationalist view...where all events from Revelation 4:1 onward happen in the future.
#14. To: watchman (#12) Yes, I thought I was detecting a historicist view...for which there is actually a very large body of commentary. Well I dont know anything about the 7th Day Adventists nor care to. It is ironic that you mention David Koresh / Branch Davidians because I was there when the end came for him (watching from a safe distance across the highway on my father-n-law's ranch). But it is news to me that he was a historicist. Did he predict his own death? It is also ironic that you say you are a dispensationalist. You know of course that with God, one day = 1000 years, and every thousand years, something earth-shaking happens. On Day One, Adam was created. Exactly 1000 years after Adam, on Day Two, God appeared to Abraham, and promised him the Holy Land (Israel). Exactly 1000 years later, on Day Three, Israel (the man) was born. Exactly 1000 years after that, on Day Four, Israel (the nation) was born. Exactly 1000 years after that, on Day Five, the Messiah (Jesus) was born. (That's how the wise men knew exactly when Jesus would be born). After His birth, death, and Resurrection, Christianity was united as one for a thousand years. Then, a thousand years later the Pope added one word to the Nicene Creed, causing a great schism and it quickly took peace from the Earth (during the Crusades, and today it has multiplied into tens of thousands of schisms, and led to many un-Godly wars too numerous to count. At the beginning of Day Seven (this millennium), the Euphrates was dry exactly as prophesied (dried up by Saddam Hussein with the expressed purpose of starting the Battle of Ar Mageddon (prophesied in both the Bible and the Koran to begin on the day that happens). That is indeed exactly what happened, and right on time on 9/11 (when the lower 50 miles of the Euphrates was bone dry). The Good News is, it will cause all Christians on Earth to be united again (against Islam). The end result is, it results in a thousand years of heaven on Earth. The Seventh Day is also called the "Day of the Lord" and "The Great Day of God Almighty."
#17. To: interpreter (#14) On Day One, Adam was created. Adam was created on Day Six...that wrecks your math right out of the gate.
#20. To: watchman (#17) Adam was created on Day Six...that wrecks your math right out of the gate. You have got to be kidding. You are the one who said you are a dispensationalist, not me. I was merely reciting the standard (over 3 thousand year old) dispensational theory. If that is not the theory / view you are talking about, please feel free to correct me. Is there some other dispensational view I dont know about? I am talking about the seven thousand-year reign of man on Earth, which is the only one I've heard about and the one the magi (wise men) were going by in 4 BC when Jesus was born. (The Dead Sea scrolls tell us that). So what the heck are you talking about? Please inform me, because I really want to know. Barry Midyet
#22. To: interpreter (#20) Is there some other dispensational view I dont know about? I'll just borrow a chart from some random website...(a rather nice simple chart, I must say) https://eccentricfundamentalist.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/dispensations.jpg Granted, there are plenty of divisions within dipensationalism but I have NEVER seen where Adam is said to be created on Day One (Day One of what?). So you will have to provide a link please (I did try searching on it...nothing)
#24. To: watchman (#22) I'll just borrow a chart from some random website...(a rather nice simple chart, I must say) Even on your (eccentric) chart, Day one of the dispensational theory is Eden (meaning of course the creation of Adam and Eve). That's the way all dispensation charts begin, bar none. For the life of me, I cant figure out what you are trying to say. Also, your chart does not stick to standard 1000- year days which means it is not entirely legitimate.
#26. To: interpreter (#24) (Edited) standard 1000- year days Well, scripture explains that a thousand years are as a day to God. Scripture does not say that this day that is like a thousand years to us is an actual and exact one thousand years. It seems to really mix and match literal and figurative terms in ways that make no sense at all. 2 Peter 3:
When we read this passage, we discover that it isn't actually telling us that each Day is a thousand years. The writer of this passage would scarcely even understand why it is that we would want to read it that way, let alone have any reasonable cause to actually read it that way. Even so, there are people who do read it that way (ahem...the Left Behinder types).
#27. To: Tooconservative, interpreter (#26) But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. When Barry paraphrased to me the above Scripture he used only the first half of the verse..."one day = thousand years" As you have noted, the second half of the verse brings the meaning of the verse back into balance..."and a thousand years as one day". When young theologians begin their studies they are warned continuously, "Never build your doctrine on one verse of Scripture!" How much more so, then, should one avoid building one's theology on a HALF verse of Scripture...
#28. To: watchman (#27) (Edited) As you have noted, the second half of the verse brings the meaning of the verse back into balance..."and a thousand years as one day". Beware the bible teacher or preacher who is a verse-chopper. Billy Graham was notorious for it. It's strange how many people never noticed he was pulling the punch lines out of some of the most important verses, and thereby presenting his own ecumenical easy-believerism. When you chop off the most important part of the verse, you have altered scripture and incur the penalties for adding to or removing from legitimate scripture.
When young theologians begin their studies they are warned continuously, "Never build your doctrine on one verse of Scripture!" Baptists tend to say that important doctrine is never found in a single verse. Any old-time Baptist preacher could preach almost any topic on that basis. Same sentiment, I think. It's when you hang your entire theology on a single verse that you are most likely to be in trouble. If that verse is found in the Old Testament, it is guaranteed that you are already in deep trouble.
#29. To: Tooconservative, watchman, interpreter (#28) When you chop off the most important part of the verse, you have altered scripture and incur the penalties for adding to or removing from legitimate scripture. I read that somewhere - where was that again? Oh yeah : Revelation 22:18-19 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book.
#30. To: Deckard (#29) Revelation 22:18-19 There are also other warnings against altering scripture and against false teachers. Also commands to help scribes concentrate on their copying work (not to stop writing a line even if a king commands them to stop), ways for a scribe to checksum and check the accuracy of a copy.
