Appendix A, Greek Text of The Epistle of Barnabas
Recently Fulfilled Prophecies
The third point of the Three-Fold Witness is to have a premillennial view of prophecies, both literal and typological, and especially the ones fulfilled in our life time because they are the most helpful in leading people to the Lord.

These, plus the next fifteen yet-to-be fulfilled prophecies, are given for your information. For a detailed description of these and many others, see Ancient Prophecies Revealed.
