maybe three out of a hundred.

[Jack] And that's the amazing

thing about biblical prophesy,

is that biblical

prophesy is something

that you can actually

study scientifically.

It's actually

called eschatology,

where what the Bible has

claimed to be prophetic,

in fact, 27% of the

Bible is prophetic,

that the claims that it makes,

do they come to pass?

Is it true what the

Bible has to say?

(dramatic music)

[Narrator] So, is it?

What is the difference

between the predictions

that have come and gone

without fulfillment

versus what has been foretold

in the ancient

biblical scriptures?

Non-biblical predictions,

which is what most

are familiar with,

are often made by individuals

with heightened

public attention

due to their sensational

and simplified approach

to claims regarding

a specific approaching date

or signs in the cosmos.

In addition to the

previous examples,

there were also those that

believed the world would end

during the turn of

the 19th century

and yet again just a few

years later in the year 1910

with the appearance

of Haley's Comet,

that was publicized

as a divine signal

for the end of the world.

But does any of this

have anything to do

with biblical prophesy?

Actually, no.

(wind howling)

Unlike the countless

vague predictions

made throughout

recent centuries,

biblical prophesy

contains an unprecedented

and complex tapestry of

interwoven chronological events

and details that present the

complete timeline of humankind,

from the beginning to the end.

In fact, the complete

ancient scriptures

contain over 2,500

prophetic details,

which were recorded

over a millennium

by 40 separate authors.

In fact, the records

are so complete

it's the longest running

contiguous record

of human history in

existence and as a result,

continues to be

studied by universities

and independent researchers

all over the world.

Unlike any other record,

the scriptures precede

and survived through

the rise and fall

of countless civilizations,

including the

ancient Babylonians,

Egyptian, and Roman empires.

As astounding as the

preservation of the records

throughout the

ages may have been,

it also continues to be

proven shockingly accurate

as archeologists

continue to uncover

newly discovered ancient ruins

throughout the Middle East

along with hundreds of

thousands of artifacts

that directly support

biblical history

and fulfilled prophetic events.

With all the

prophesies that came true

regarding the path,

we can go all the way back

through the Book of Genesis

and we can see

the development of the nation

of Israel over the centuries,

you have prophesies

regarding Egypt,

you have predictions

regarding these various things

that happened in

the Book of Daniel.

You have the prophesies

regarding the Greek Empire

and the Roman Empire

that came to be

and man, they were fulfilled

with 100% accuracy.

All of them were.

(dramatic music)

[Narrator] Just one example

of how accurately chilling

the events within the

prophetic timeline are,

we can look to a warning

about how just one city

in particular,

the city of Tyre,

would be utterly destroyed

by Alexander the Great,

recorded 200 years

before it was fulfilled

in the greatest of detail.

The whole city

would be so destroyed

that it would be

down to the very dust

and that he would throw

all the rocks into the sea.

Now, if you know the history

of Tyre a little bit,

you know that King

Nebuchadnezzar came

and he began to siege the city.

But what happened

is in the meantime,

while King Nebuchadnezzar

was outside attacking the city,

the people of Tyre decided that

the only option they had

was to move their whole

city to a little island

off the coast until finally,

when they just gave up the city

Nebuchadnezzar got through

and everything was gone.

Everything of value was gone.

Now, if you are a soldier

of the ancient world,

one of the reasons

you're fighting,

it's not for

the father land or something,

you want to get

those gold plates

and all the wonderful things

that are in that city,

that is their payoff.

So Nebuchadnezzar left that

feeling very frustrated

but what happened is years

later, Alexander the Great came

and he attacked

Tyre and of course,

they would not capitulate

and so he took the stones

that had been left in ruins

from the city on the mainland,

he took all those

and he threw them into the sea

to build a causeway so

that Alexander the Great

could then go and

conquer the city.

[Narrator] Not only did

every detail come to pass

as it was foretold,

but secular history confirms

the entirety of this event

as the prophesy was fulfilled

in July of 332 B.C.

You know, this is something

that's very specific,

talking about what's

going to happen

to a particular city

in a particular way.

It's not just this broad

generality of what might happen.

Where kind of anybody can make

up these broad prophesies.

(dramatic music)

[Narrator] The details

surrounding how the destruction

of Tyre came to pass

is not the exception

throughout the ancient

prophetic timeline

but rather the rule.

But even this is only

the tip of the iceberg.

The complete prophetic

timeline is so detailed

and complex in structure

that the passing of many events

rely on previous prophesies

coming to pass first

like a row of dominoes.

If just one event in the

timeline doesn't come to pass,

the entire chronological

and future sequence of events

and fulfillments would

completely fall apart.

(dramatic piano music)

In this aspect,

there is no other record

like this in existence

anywhere in the world.

(crowd murmuring)

But to understand what this

all has to do with us today

and the end of the world,

we first have to follow

the timeline through one

of the most researched

and astounding sequences

of prophesied events that

history indisputably confirms

came to pass, which

still sends shock waves

throughout global culture

and political landscapes today.

A sequence that began

around 2,000 years ago

when Jesus of Nazareth

walked the Earth.

(light dramatic music)

Based on historical records,

Jesus' birth and life

is believed by

various researchers

to have fulfilled upwards

of over 300 prophetic events

and descriptions from

the Old Testament records,

some of which were recorded

hundreds to thousands of years

before Jesus first

walked in Jerusalem.

Even the details surrounding

how he would be executed

were foretold in

the prophetic timeline,

around 400 years

before crucifixions

were even invented.

It was during Jesus'

time in Jerusalem

that his disciples came to him

and asked about

the end of the age.

They knew that if he was

who he truly claimed to be,

the prophesied messiah,

that he could tell them

exactly what

was going to happen

to the empires of the Earth

including Israel itself.

And according

to the ancient records,

Jesus answered them
