Came to pass perfectly? You truly are a moron. Y'all have been talking about the end times for centuries, saying the prophecy is being fulfilled and then....nothing.
Your so called prophecy is vague and fits into whatever interpretation a person wants. When are you going to be honest with yourself and say that Christ isn't coming back and your prophecy is a bunch of BS. How many centuries in a row do you need to be wrong before you admit the truth?
Let's see now:
Christ returns at a time when Israel has finally been restored as a nation.
Check.
And the land, indeed, even the capital, Jerusalem, the world will attempt to divide.
Check.
And the Jewish people will be surrounded by nations committed to their destruction.
Check.
During a period of Godlessness, sexual anarchy, immorality and financial collapse.
Check.
Yeah, the Bible's not doing so well, is it?
Riiiight.

"Christ returns at a time when Israel has finally been restored as a nation.
Check."
His return is at a time when some of his disciples, who witnessed his ascension to heaven, are still alive to see him come back, as he said himself it would be.
NOT check.
No. it's not.
It's predictive success is near nil
"If those fixed orders depart from before me, says the LORD, then the descendants of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever"
KJV
Context:
"35Thus says the LORD, Who gives the sun for light by day And the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar; The LORD of hosts is His name: 36"If this fixed order departs From before Me," declares the LORD, "Then the offspring of Israel also will cease From being a nation before Me forever37Thus says the LORD, "If the heavens above can be measured And the foundations of the earth searched out below, Then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel For all that they have done," declares the LORD.

Unless the heavenly bodies fuck right off Israel was to ALWAYS be a nation. And,,,,?
The Preterist view is the only legit view of Bible Prophecy.
Revelation is a vague bunch of symbolism! It doesn't describe an one even (but if it does, it's a coded bit about The Romans getting awful towards the Abrahamic population)
Then there's always the "it's the ravings on a loon" interpretation.
Does it traitor? Tell me traitor, how many square meters will your heavenly mansion measure in? Tell us all just how much it took for you to betray your own kin. Was it the pool? Was it the 80 inch tv? Perhaps a heavenly SUV? In any case if your god would indeed be real, your fucking duty is to your own species first. You would be as obliged to stand with your brothers and sisters against this disgusting menace as you would be in case of any other invasion of our civilisation and autonomy! Had I my way your kind would be driven into the streets like other abrahamic rubbish and then you`d learn what true persecution looks like. Your kind dares to hold dominion over the rest of us, so it is your kind that will get the backlash iot deserves. Those of our kind are to be born to freedom and life of enlightment, not servitude and self inflicted hatred as your "lord" would have it.
How about:
But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. ... Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done ."
Cherry-pick much?
So, how many of Jesus' disciples are still alive? Because he totally said all of that would happen within their lifetime.
(Also, someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems The Last Trump is actually adding a bunch of his own words to the so-called "prophecy." That's a big no-no, according to the Bible.)
The Cuban Missile Crisis.
The only time the president - JFK then - has ordered DefCon 2.
And we were just a few minutes awat from him ordering DefCon 1: and you know what that means.
Palestine - ruled by Britain - became Israel way before then.
Egypt, Jordan & Azerbaijan.
We're coming out of the Dumbya-created worldwide recession. Meanwhile, Josh Buggar.
Not hearing a certain God-Emperor with hair of clay making so much as a squeak, never mind any (trouser) trumpets from above; those on Ruptured Retards still waiting for their J-boy to blow his horn, go down and suck them off. Nothing even remotely resembling what happened in the early 1960s with Kennedy & Khrushchev (thank fuck it was the latter who blinked first!). Shofar , so good. But not for you lot.
"Yeah, the Bible's not doing so well, is it?"
You said it, The Last Fart, we didn't!
Sounds to me like the 1st century Roman Empire. Dividing the land, check, Jews surrounded by people who hate them, check (oh wait, that's literally every time in history since Jews have even existed), godlessness, sexual anarchy, immorality, financial collapse, yep, the Roman Empire, therefore, the Antichrist is Nero and Jesus is...not coming back. Woops.
I knew someone who went to jail over fewer bad checks than that. And being absolutely, positively, and utterly convinced the rupture will be any moment now IS an xtian tradition with a long and distinguished list of historical proponents.
Christ returns at a time when Israel has finally been restored as a nation.
Israel has been a nation since 1948. What’s keeping him?
During a period of Godlessness, sexual anarchy, immorality and financial collapse.
What financial collapse? We had a rather severe recession back in 2008, but in case you haven’t noticed, it is 2016 now.
Yeah, the Bible's not doing so well, is it?
Not really, no.
I could probably make a better case for some of Nostradamus's prophecies being on the money than for most, um, wait...ALL of the so-called Bible prophecies I've heard of.
(not that I believe in him either...lol)
