Out of these sixteen specific prophecies, thirteen have already been fulfilled with astonishing accuracy. Only three remain unfulfilled. Based on this, approximately 81% of these prophecies have been fulfilled exactly as foretold.

We are not irrational believers but have solid grounds to trust in the fulfillment of these prophecies.
