Where does Isaiah mention the year 2016 in his prophecy?
Isaiah
19
1 .) The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
2 .) And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 .) And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.
4 .) And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.
5 .) And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.
6 .) And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.
7 .) The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.
8 .) The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.
9 .) Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.
10 .) And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish.
11 .) Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
12 .) Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.
13 .) The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof.
14 .) The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.
15 .) Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.
16 .) In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shaketh over it.
17 .) And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it.
18 .) In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.
19 .) In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.
20 .) And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.
21 .) And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform it.
22 .) And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them.
23 .) In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.
24 .) In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:
25 .) Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.
Isaiah

This prophecy the op gave while it is possible I am unable to believe it. I have not seen any signs that this prophecy has much merit, I am all for the prophetic but you can't just give a prophecy and expect people to believe it without an actual foundation behind that prophecy. Too many people accept any given prophecy without any evidence of that prophecy being from God or being true at all which is why anyone can became famous on youtube because many people go there to hear a supposed prophecy and without using discernment accept it and believe it even when the person giving the prophecy is wrong over and over again.
And I know because I used the be just like that, I do believe that some can prophesy and that some are true but I learned the hard way if you accept any prophecy or for that matter anything anyone says and believe it's from God without using discernment or having facts to back it up you can be lead down a path that is very difficult to return from. So to the op if you are going to give a prophecy you need to back it up with a whole lot more than some scriptures from Isiah you need to post the signs you speak of the facts and the research findings as well

It doesn't obviously, I don't know the op so I can't tell if he is someone who prophecies without using discernment or if he is a troll or if he is posting a prophecy given by another person which he believes is a true prophet of God but I can say this prophecy given was not a good one. If it is from God then it will happen but I have seen many of these types of prophecies and not one ever came true
I made a post on here earlier but for some reason, it either didn't post or was deleted. Anyhoo, here is what I wrote:
On point 2, the bible says there will be a great falling away of the church. Your prophecy says the church will flourish greatly. The bible says many will turn away from Jesus, whereas your prophecy says many will get the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.. As for the strongholds of Satan, they are tighter than ever right now, and will remain so until Jesus returns.

while i agree with being skeptical of this prophecy...this logic is not valid...
the bible says there will be a falling away but it doesn't say when...the bible said this 2,000 years ago and there have been many revivals in that time...
it is not logical to reject predictions of a revival based on the biblical statement that there will be a future falling away...unless you are likewise presenting scriptural evidence that this future is now...

The falling away is already here, many claim to be Christians but live for things of the world not God they claim to be saved yet show a great deal of lack of God's heart and love,many believers are judgmental lack that passion and fire for God use scripture to attack each other say mean and horrible things about each others just because of a debate in which they hold opposing views many also are just simply lukewarm.
I am not saying all Christians are like this but it is apparent to me that the church has forgotten what it means to be a Christian. However the last part about a great revival is true at least, God is creating an army of believers who will be empowered with his spirit love and heart beyond belief even more so than the apostles and I only say this because he showed them to me I have seen them not because of what someone else said or because I am making a vain prophecy but because he personally showed me them. As to why of all people he showed me I don't know in my opinion i'm the last person to reveal such a thing

One can;t just read the Bible, one needs to know how to interpret, understand and apply what it says. Unless you are taught how to do these three things, I am unsure that anyone is really able to do it.
I am reading a book on understanding the Bible by Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart, two imminent and very well respected Biblical scholars. I recommend that everyone read a how to no matter how long you have been reading the Bible or how many times you have read thru it.

there have been repeating 'cycles' of apostasy and revival many times over the past 2,000 years...everything you have said about today has been true many times in the past...
so again i have to caution against being so certain that we are witnessing the -final- falling away...there may still be a revival and then 300 years from now someone like me may be talking to someone like you and using our present day to make their case that revival is not impossible in their day either...
you might say it would take a miracle for revival to begin in this world nowdays...but what is a revival but a kind of miracle?
