This thread was inspired by the Book of Revelations, particularly after I'd read this verse:
The Bible Study explains that the beheaded witnesses are the martyrs of the Tribulation Period.
The word, "beheaded," sprung out and I couldn't help wondering, what with Islamist troubles all over the world, if Islam rule is part of the Tribulation period?
I posted that query to a Christian forum and one reply gave several verses - which I see as Biblical Prophecies coming true. Very much relevant to the problems in the Middle East!
See also Ezekiel 36:1-7; 38:5-6; Daniel 2:40-43, 8:9-12, 8:23-25; Obadiah 1:1-21; Micah 5:5-15;
I've never really pondered and focused on all the Biblical Prophecies, but now my interest in it is whetted.
It is said that unique among all books ever written, the Bible accurately foretells specific events. These prophecies are given in details many years, sometimes even centuries, before they occur.
It is said that specific prophesies are conspicuously absent from the 26 other religious books that claim to be scripture, including major religions such as the Muslim's Qu'ran, the Hindu Vedas, and Buddhist writings.
It is also said that approximately 2500 prophecies appear in the pages of the Bible, about 2000 of which already have been fulfilled to the letter—no errors.
So this thread is for the prophecies written in the Bible. I would like to really know and understand them....what better way than to have them discussed in a forum.
Rev 20:4
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Psalm 83
A song. A psalm of Asaph.
1 O God, do not remain silent;
do not turn a deaf ear,
do not stand aloof, O God.
2 See how your enemies growl,
how your foes rear their heads.
3 With cunning they conspire against your people;
they plot against those you cherish.
4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation,
so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”
5 With one mind they plot together;
they form an alliance against you—
6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
of Moab and the Hagrites,
7 Byblos, Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia, with the people of Tyre.
8 Even Assyria has joined them
to reinforce Lot’s descendants.
