I don't think that they all have, not yet, but I will allow others who know better than I tell you which of the ones haven't been fulfilled yet.
As I said, i do not think it will be in my lifetime.

Folks who have ties and a love of the world will in no way know it is near .

Same here. The key to it all is having a strong and healthy natural immune system, and not allow any inoculations that would jeopardize or compromise it. And above all, to trust in God who designed it for our well being.
I often try to figure God out but it's impossible to do so because He's just too big. So none of us know His mindset. What He's doing and how big it has to get for Him. How many people. How many years. He may even have other stuff going on in different parts of space. Who knows a billion light years away. I just cannot get my brain big enough to make sense out of a God so big and so powerful to create all that we know and yet has always been here. How do you get one of Him? Where did He come from? Nobody knows the time when He will send His son back. The son said nobody knows not even me the son.
Thanks for your opinion. I can read the Bible just like you do and see what is around me, just like you do.
It is my belief that He is nowhere near returning and as someone else has said, people have been saying he is returning for nigh on 2000 years.
He will come when He comes and no one will know it until He does!
I fully believe that it was the Covid vaccine that kept me and my fiance out of the hospital when our Covid infection turned to Covid pneumonia. As someone who has asthma and my fiance with an auto-immune disease, we did the smart thing and got the vaccine.

Say not in your heart My LORD delays His coming . It would be the last generation that in large was thinking it was not near .
As we can see in this church age most dont and we know the world dont .
How shall i reckon this generation . Well its a generation that has been told that near the end
a huge forest would appear .
And when it does they simply say , That aint no forest my friend , its just a lot of trees , we have always had trees .
They simply cannot see the forest due to all those billions of trees .
For they do see signs yet they just tell themselves oh its always been like this .
Yet, more opinion.
He will come when He comes and I don't think it will be yet. Whether I say He will or won't has no bearing on whether He will or won't.

I am 73 and I still do think he's coming in my lifetime. Being a progressive Amillennialist, we are to take heed that as we see the Day approaching, the Glorious appearing of Jesus from Heaven will be suddenly, as a thief in the night.
Heb. 10
[23] Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised)
[24] And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
[25] Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

In my opinion, I perceive that you are slipping in your faith. In Christian love, I remind you of the words of Jesus:
Luke 22[19] In your patience possess ye your souls. The word "patience" is in reference to us waiting patiently for His Glorious return.
Becareful not to fall from that, and end up becoming a "scoffer". 2 Peter 2:3-10
[3] Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
[4] And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
Not slipping at all. I am not saying He isn't coming at all. Just that He isn't coming soon. I have faith that He is indeed coming, just not within my lifetime. I am okay with that. That is not my faith slipping.

All that matters is you believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and know in your heart God raised Him from the dead;
and If you know for certain you are going to Heaven, then everything is good.

God's Age of Grace is dependant upon man's
opportunity and ability to repent (metanoeo) towards God.
I personally believe the only event that will cause God the Father to end His Age of Grace, will be the implementation of the "mark of the beast" in all the world.
It is the only discerning factor that will determine whether people will trust that evil satanic system, or trust in Jesus/God for their provisions in life, both physical and spiritual.
In either case, once the personal decision is made for one to take "the mark", and does so, the opportunity for God's free gift of salvation will be forfeited in that moment.
It truly will be the separation of the sheep from the goats.
Edit: therefore, Jesus will not be returning before the "mark of the beast" is issued, but rather sometime right after it.

OK, I'm good with that.
In my most recent post (above #339) to another poster, did you comprehend my understanding, of how I relate to what the cause is that allows God the Father to decide WHEN to send Jesus for us?
Yes, when the Mark of the Beast goes out into all the world.
