Are world events following a divine script found in the old and new testaments of the Bible? It certainly seems that way when you consider some top news stories that have and continue to occur since World War II:

• The Jewish people are scattered around the world after Israel’s second Temple is destroyed, but they are gathered together again after Israel becomes a state in 1948. This was predicted in Deuteronomy 30:3-5 and Leviticus 26:33-45.
• The rise of central bank digital currencies, which are government-controlled cryptocurrency designed to replace traditional money, fulfills a global financial system prophecy found in Revelation 13:7-17.
• The United Arab Emirates’ 2020 peace treaty and President Trump’s “Board of Peace” proposed in 2026 are two critical steps leading to the Antichrist’s anticipated Middle East peace deal as cited in Daniel 9:27.

There are too many to list here. In fact, scholars say there are about 2,000 prophecies combined in both books of the Bible, with roughly 80 percent already fulfilled.

I was so fascinated by bible prophecy when I first read about it in The Late Great Planet Earth, a 1970 international bestseller by Hal Lindsey. The topic has since gained wider mainstream recognition thanks to the Internet, social media, and popular prophecy educators like Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, Bill Koenig, and the late, great Tom Horn.

Including bible prophecies in my novels allows me to share my fascination with my readers in compelling and entertaining ways. Even non-believers are intrigued by it. For instance, in my forthcoming novel, The Sinai Protocol, Cole, an autistic, religious young man, believes the Torah is an encrypted computer program and uses prophecy to recruit Fang, a brilliant quantum computer decryption genius who despises God and religion, to help prove his outlandish theory.

“Quantum physics doesn’t give absolute answers like ‘this will happen.’ Instead, it gives probabilities, right? But in the Torah, in Deuteronomy and Leviticus, God says he will scatter the Jewish people around the world and then bring them back home. In seventy AD, the Romans destroyed the second temple and the Jewish people fled to many different countries. In 1948, Israel statehood was declared and they began to return in earnest.”

So this all begs the question: Does the Bible provide a script for our present and future or is this all just an uncanny coincidence?

Time will tell. But if there is a divine script in the Bible, then at least we know that, like a satisfying novel, it has a happy ending.
