Only thing I know that consistently fulfilled and currently fulfills prophecies is the bible, a bunch prophesied the coming of the son and no one recognized it and now [2 Timothy 3:1-5 You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that." This isn't a convert or die thing just looking around at the world and noticing how correct the bible is on a consistent basis to the point its a little scary
