Is Bible prophecy being fulfilled before our eyes?

This is a very interesting question in which you will undoubtedly get varying answers. The following is a list of 14 possible prophecies that may be either already fulfilled or are in the process of being so.

The past few days have been quite cold here in south Florida. Then yesterday morning it was warm and the winds were coming out of the south. I told my wife that it will rain soon and within an hour it started raining. She looked at me as if saying "How did you know that?" I then looked at her with a puzzled expression and replied, "How can you not read the signs of the weather?" This immediately brought to mind the words of Jesus when he was comparing the signs of the weather to the signs of his second coming. How is it that we can read the signs of the weather so easily yet we can not discern the signs of the times? With that being said, what are these signs? Do we see these things today?

I am not sure if these are in fact prophecies or simply one interpretation among many, but it is a good read nonetheless:

1.Rebirth of Israel in 1948 (Ezekiel 38:8)
2.Jerusalem a "hotspot" internationally (Zechariah 12:1-3)
3.Birthpangs leading into 7-year Tribulation (Matthew 24:7-9)
4.Appearance of the Anti-Christ on the world stage now (Daniel 11:21-23,Revelation 6:2)
5.Mideast Peace Agreement (Daniel 9:27,Daniel 11:21-23)

"Even so,when you see all these things,know that He is near,even right at the door."-Matthew 24:33

"Knowing this first,there shall come in the last days,scoffers,walking after their own lusts and saying,'Where is the promise of His coming?'"-2 Peter 3:1-4

I am quite interested in reading your replies and thoughts on this matter. What do you believe is happening in the world today? Are there reliable signs we can look for?
