1 Thessalonians
4:16-17 16 For the Lord himself
will come down from heaven, with a loud command,
with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet
call of God, and the dead in Christ
will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are
left will be caught up
together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the
air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

Here Paul predicts that Jesus will return
to earth to pick up Paul and his followers, then Paul and his followers will
live together with Jesus happily ever after. Unfortunately, Jesus didn’t pick
him up. It was Nero’s sword which picked up Paul neck on 64 AD.
Genesis 2:17 except the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die..

Adam was told that if
and when he eats the forbidden fruit, he would die the same day. Adam ate the
fruit and went on to live to a ripe old age of 930 years (Genesis 5:5).
Genesis 6:3 Then the LORD said,
"My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal;
their days will be a hundred and twenty years."
Genesis 6:3 Then the LORD said,
"My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal;
their days will be a hundred and twenty years."
God predicts that human beings ages
are no longer than 120 years old. Unfortunately, many people live longer than
120 years old. Adam lived 930 yeas (Genesis 5:5), Arphaxad lived 403 years and Shelah lived 403 years
(Gen. 11:13-14), Seth lived 912 years
(Gen. 5:8), Cainan lived 910 years (Gen. 5:14), etc.
Hebrews 7:1-3 This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,2 and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name Melchizedek means “king of righteousness”; then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.” 3 Without father or mother, without genealogy,without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.
Bible predicts that
Melchizedek remains a priest forever. It is proven wrong: he died, there isn’t
any priest named Melchizedek today.

Genesis 26:4 And I will make thy
seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these
countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.
Genesis 26:4 And I will make thy
seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these
countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.
Here God tells Isaac that his descendents
(Hebrews) will be as numerous as the stars. Considering the number of
stars there are in the universe, that would have to be on the order of 1020 Jewish
people. Besides, Israelis are not the ancestors of all nations of earth.
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord
himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son,
and shall call his name Immanuel.
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord
himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son,
and shall call his name Immanuel.
Christians say that this verse is a
prophecy of Jesus' birth to a virgin. There are a couple problems with
this prophecy...First, virgin in this verse is a mistranslation of the Hebrew
word "almah", which actually means "young woman". A
young woman is not necessarily a virgin. "Bethulah" would have
been the correct word to use if the author meant virgin. Second, nowhere
in the New Testament is Jesus referred to as Immanuel.
Isaiah 17:1 The burden of Damascus.
Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous
heap.
Isaiah 17:1 The burden of Damascus.
Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous
heap.
Damascus is still inhabited today with
over a million people, and hardly a ruinous heap.
Isaiah 19:4-5 And the Egyptians
will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule
over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts. And the waters shall fail from
the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.
Isaiah 19:4-5 And the Egyptians
will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule
over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts. And the waters shall fail from
the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.
The river mentioned here is the
Nile. The Nile is still one of Egypt's greatest natural resource.
Isaiah 19:18 In that day shall five
cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD
of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.
Isaiah 19:18 In that day shall five
cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD
of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.
The Canaanite language has never been
spoken in Egypt, and is now an extinct.
Isaiah 52:1 Awake, awake; put on thy
strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city:
for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the
unclean.
Isaiah 52:1 Awake, awake; put on thy
strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city:
for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the
unclean.
There are uncircumcised people living in
Jerusalem even today.
Ezekiel 29:10-11 Behold, therefore
I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt
utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of
Ethiopia. No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall
pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
Ezekiel 29:10-11 Behold, therefore
I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt
utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of
Ethiopia. No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall
pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
Never in its long history has Egypt ever
been uninhabited for forty years.
Amos 9:15 And I will plant them
upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I
have given them, saith the LORD thy God.
Amos 9:15 And I will plant them
upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I
have given them, saith the LORD thy God.
Many times, Jews have been pulled up out
of their land. The ownership of their land is still being fought for.
Jonah 3:4 And Jonah began to enter
into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and
Nineveh shall be overthrown.
Jonah 3:4 And Jonah began to enter
into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and
Nineveh shall be overthrown.
Nineveh was never overthrown.
Why? Because God changed his mind in verse 3:10, despite
what Malachi 3:6, Numbers 23:19 and Ezekiel 24:14 says about God never
changing his mind.
Jonah 3:10 And God saw their works,
that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had
said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
Zechariah 11:12 And I said unto
them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed
for my price thirty pieces of silver.
Zechariah 11:12 And I said unto
them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed
for my price thirty pieces of silver.
Christians say that this prophecy is was
fulfilled when Judas received 30 pieces of silver for betraying Jesus.
Matthew 27:9 recites this verse, but incorrectly credits Jeremiah with the
prophecy.
Matthew 1:22-23 Now all this was
done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet,
saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and
they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Matthew 1:22-23 Now all this was
done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet,
saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and
they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Again, Jesus is never referred to as
Emmanuel (Immanuel).
Matthew 2:23 And he came and dwelt
in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the
prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
Matthew 2:23 And he came and dwelt
in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the
prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
Nowhere in the Old Testament is such a
prophecy found, so how could such a one be fulfilled?
Matthew 12:5 Or have ye not read in
the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the
sabbath, and are blameless?
Matthew 12:5 Or have ye not read in
the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the
sabbath, and are blameless?
There is no passage in the Old Testament
that can be attributed to what Jesus is saying here.
Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto
you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto
you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Jesus states that all the signs marking
the end of the world in Matthew 24 would be fulfilled before his generation
ended. That generation ended 2000 years ago, and the world has not come
to an end, neither has all those signs been fulfilled.
Matthew 27:9 Then was fulfilled
that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty
pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children
of Israel did value.
Matthew 27:9 Then was fulfilled
that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty
pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children
of Israel did value.
This prophecy was never spoken by
Jeremiah.
Matthew 26:64 Jesus saith unto him,
Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of
man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Matthew 26:64 Jesus saith unto him,
Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of
man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Jesus tells the high priest that he
would see his second coming. The high priest is long dead, and Jesus
hasn't returned yet.
Throughout the New Testament, the end
of the world is prophesied as being very near, at hand, to be witnessed by
those living at the time. Paul often told the people he preached to that
they would be witnesses to Jesus' second coming. They are all long gone.
