Let's take an inventory:
More than 100,000,000+ people murdered in war in the last century. (Matthew 24:7)
Obviously, you take your listings as prophesies of some kind. Let's see.
Matthew 24:7
"Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places."
Which is nothing new. These things were already happening. The "prophesy" simply says that things will continue as they have been. Pretty much a no-brainer.
The earth is being ruined wherever man sets his foot.(Revelation 11:18)
Your interpretation is such an exaggeration that it's not worth addressing.
Corruption, immorality, and dishonesty are evident in all areas of human society, political, religious, commercial. (Matthew 24:12)
Which is nothing new. These things were already happening. The "prophesy" simply says that things will continue as they have been. Pretty much a no-brainer.
Millions starve each year while military expenditures continue to skyrocket ever higher.(Matthew 24:7)
Which is nothing new. These things were already happening. The "prophesy" simply says that things will continue as they have been. Pretty much a no-brainer.
Very few people live to see 100 years, and no one lives much longer.(Romans 5:12)
Which is nothing new. These things were already happening. The "prophesy" simply says that things will continue as they have been. Pretty much a no-brainer.
Disease, natural disasters, and man's own folly takes a huge toll in lives lost and human misery. (Luke 21:10)
Which is nothing new. These things were already happening. The "prophesy" simply says that things will continue as they have been. Pretty much a no-brainer.
Families are torn apart, and marriages seem to end faster than they begin. (2 Timothy 3:1-3)
"Faster" isn't what was prophesied.
2 Timothy 3:1-3
1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,
Which is nothing new. These things were already happening. The "prophesy" simply says that things will continue as they have been. Pretty much a no-brainer.
Human governments are failing to provide even basic services in many areas of the earth, and political upheavals are increasing (Ecclesiastes 8:9)
Nothing about "increasing" in the text.
Ecclesiastes 8:9
9 All this I saw, as I applied my mind to everything done under the sun. There is a time when a man lords it over others to his own[
a] hurt.
Which is nothing new. These things were already happening. The "prophesy" simply says that things will continue as they have been. Pretty much a no-brainer.
Even if only one or two of these things were true, this should convince a clear-thinking, honest-hearted person that men cannot successfully direct their steps apart from God.
I think any clear-thinking, honest-hearted,
rational person would see these for what they are: an attempt on your part to pervert scripture so as to look like prophesy. As I pointed out, you have either misstated their message, or like to confer some kind of special ability in stating the obvious, which is, things will continue as they have been. While things may not have continued as they were, considering the history of man up to that point it's a far safer bet they would. Thus the prediction they would really isn't anything to write home about. What
would be remarkable and worthy of note is the prediction of an unforeseeable and unique change that actually happened. Alas. we have no such thing.
But all these things and much more are realities today.
As they were when the predictions were made, which leaves the question of why anyone should assign their cause to some stepping away from god. Just because the Bible says so? Gotta first establish why anyone should listen to it, and what you've cited simply doesn't do the trick.
