Ok, I'll try.
In the book of Daniel, he describes a vision of 4 beasts coming from the sea. An angel gives him explanation, that they symbolise world dominions, starting with Babylon (the one that ruled when Daniel lived). Next empires are Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome. From Rome, other (smaller) empires emerge, symbolised by 10 horns that grow on the last beast. This is when things start to get mor detailed and interesting.
Daniel 7:8 -
I kept on considering the horns, and, look! another horn, a small one, came up in among them, and there were three of the first horns that were plucked up from before it. And, look! there were eyes like the eyes of a man in this horn, and there was a mouth speaking grandiose things.
This new horn is England. History shows that England defeated (in different ways) France, Spain and Holland, who were up till then much bigger nations.
We know that England colonized America, together they became a new world dominion.
The vision goes on with describing further developments around the horn, but I'll spare you those.
This is only a fragment. The profecy is longer and muuuch more detailed. And there are at least 40 (haven't counted them) other things like these in the bible.
Sure, you can always find a way NOT to believe it. It will always be a matter of faith, but it sure is worth researching. If you'd like to do so, you can PM me for some possibilities or something....
