2) [ref 2 Peter 2:1-2] These false prophets would be money hungry, smooth talkers (2 Peter 2:3). A growing number of TV evangelists epitomize this. They twist the Scriptures, using misleading words to make merchandise of the unwary.
3) The Christian gospel would be preached as a witness to all nations (Matthew 24:14; Mark 13:10; Revelation 14:6). Today portions or all of the Bible have been translated into over 2400 languages and dialects covering over 90% of the world's population.
4) Global communications foreseen (Revelation 11:9-10; 17:8). The Bible prophesies that the entire world will "see" cetain events unfold. The invention of the television and the deployment of global satellite networks during the 20th century allow news to travel the world at the speed of light for the first time ever. Remember that in the apostle John's day, news traveled at the speed of horseback.
Revelation 11:9-10
New Living Translation (NLT)
9 And for three and a half days, all peoples, tribes, languages, and nations will stare at their bodies. No one will be allowed to bury them. 10 All the people who belong to this world will gloat over them and give presents to each other to celebrate the death of the two prophets who had tormented them.
6) The use of nuclear weapons anticipated (Zechariah 14:12). The neutron bomb melts (dissolves) its victims--just as God warned 2500 years ago . . . This was unimaginable in Zechariah's day.
Zechariah 14:12:
New Living Translation (©2007)
And the LORD will send a plague on all the nations that fought against Jerusalem. Their people will become like walking corpses, their flesh rotting away. Their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
8) The Antichrist would use (false) peace to destroy many (Daniel 8:23-25) . . .
10) Damascus would be destroyed (Isaiah 17; Jeremiah 49:23-27; Amos 1:3-5; Zechariah 9:1-8). . . .

INDEED.
Isaac Newton was one sharp cookie.
I don't know if folks know that the latter years of his life he spent virtually all of his time in studying the Bible.
He was convinced, BTW, that there was some END TIMES stuff encoded in the Bible. I think he felt in Daniel, IIRC.

I'll give you the keys to deciphering prophecy. The book of Daniel and Revelation go hand in hand, you need Daniel to decode Revelation.
In the book of Daniel, Daniel tells us the meaning of certain words in the prophetic language. I will set them down in a list:
Winds=Wars
Beasts=Kingdoms, nations
Woman/Women=religious systems or institutions (faiths)
Trees=individual peoples
Seas=multitudes of people, peoples of the world in general
Trumpets=warning signs or warnings
Babylon=corrupted pagan religions masquerading as being of God, the ways of Satan, unholy, unrighteous
Fire=Judgement, God's wrath
Plagues=God's doctrines attacking the people
Prophetic language is tricky but Daniel did his best to tell us how to read it which is why in Rabbinic law of the Talmud the rabbis placed a curse on the book of Daniel so that anyone who read the book would recieve all kinds of curses and diseases. Apparently someone didn't want the Israelites to find out Jesus is their Messiah because Daniel tells them who he is in the star gospel.

Funny thing, that pic of New Jeruslaem you have looks like the Dome of the Rock. If orthodox jews take one look at that they will have a siezure.
