That is so vague though Bilbo. There have always been wars and rumours of wars and natural disasters. I actually get quite a kick about reading about the end of the world and watching programs on it. At times I am inclined to believe that some prophecies etc. are coming true, but by and large I can't buy in. It's interesting stuff though and it scares the shit out of me.
There are tons or prophecies, most of them astonishingly specific. Some of the Old Testament prophecies concerning Jesus included:

Everything about his life, ministry, death and resurrection were propechised hundreds of years before his birth.
If you only want prophecies that have come true in the recent past, the reestablishment of Israel only happened in the 20th century.
. And it will be, when all these things come upon you the blessing and the curse which I have set before you that you will consider in your heart, among all the nations where the Lord your God has banished you, 2. and you will return to the Lord, your God, with all your heart and with all your soul, and you will listen to His voice according to all that I am commanding you this day you and your children,
3. then, the Lord, your God, will bring back your exiles, and He will have mercy upon you. He will once again gather you from all the nations, where the Lord, your God, had dispersed you.
4. Even if your exiles are at the end of the heavens, the Lord, your God, will gather you from there, and He will take you from there.
5. And the Lord, your God, will bring you to the land which your forefathers possessed, and you will take possession of it, and He will do good to you, and He will make you more numerous than your forefathers.
—Deuteronomy 30:1-5

That's pretty specific I think!
Thing to come in the futue include the abolition of money and having a microchip inserted into every human.
He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
After that we have a devastating nuclear war to look forward and an attack on Israel.
The Bible talks about all the nations of the earth surrounding Jeruselam, and capturing the city. Then it says their eyes will melt in their sockets, that their flesh will fall from their skin and all the kings and rich men will hide themselves in the caves under the earth.
It's a pretty bleak picture, and it all revolves around Isreal.
Jesus himself said Jerusalem would be trodden on by its enemies, and its land lie desolate until the times of the Gentiles be fufilled. That was less than 100 years ago. We are in the last times according to the Bible and for the last 2000 years the end time has expected to be the following.
Massive world wars, multiple earthquakes all over the world. The formation of a one world government. The abolition of money and the bringing in of a mark on the hand or forehead to buy and sell. The great increase of travel and knowledge. A world war centred on eliminating the state of Israel. Also the sun being given power to scorch the earth and the death of the fish in the sea.
I'd say all of that is coming true to a remarkable degree......
