Prophecies That Seem Unbelievable

By Daymond Duck

Habakkuk was praying about the rampaging sin and violence in Judah, but he didn’t think God was listening. He accused God of letting His Word slide, not listening, and exercising poor judgment. God eventually told him, “I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you” (Hab. 1:1-5). God would tell him what He planned to do (destroy Judah), but Habakkuk wouldn’t believe Him.

The Bible contains many incredible prophecies that some people refuse to believe. At the time they were given, many of these prophecies sounded impossible because the human mind cannot comprehend the power of God. But it didn’t matter whether Habakkuk believed what God said or not, Judah was destroyed. And it doesn’t matter whether we believe what He says or not, every prophecy in the Word of God will be literally fulfilled.

Concerning Israel, God asked, “Who hath heard such a thing? Who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once” (Isaiah 66:8)? The nation of Israel was out of existence longer than any other nation in history so multitudes refused to believe that Israel would ever come back into being. But it didn’t matter whether people believed it or not, Israel became a nation in one day on May 14, 1948.

Concerning the resurrection of dead, it is clearly predicted in the Old Testament books of Genesis, Job, Psalms, Isaiah, Daniel and Hosea. Jesus even said He would be “delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.” But the faithful women who followed Him went to His grave in unbelief on the third day to anoint His body. And when they rushed to tell the eleven that He had been raised from the dead the eleven thought it was an idle tale. The resurrection of Jesus seemed unbelievable to His closest friends, but that didn’t keep it from happening.

Concerning the Roman Empire, 2600 years ago (before the Roman Empire even existed), Daniel prophesied that a kingdom (the Roman Empire) would come into being, it would eventually break-up and then it would come back into being again before the Second Coming of Jesus. This seemed unbelievable at the time, but the Roman Empire came into being, it broke up and it was out of existence for hundreds of years. Now, twenty-seven nations in Europe have re-united and surrendered their sovereignty without firing a shot. The unbelievers were wrong.
