The following note is one perspective on how current events line up with prophecy, what are others?
The stock market follows the 7 year of rest cycle of the OT, whereas all debts were to be wiped out every 7th year, with a 7x7 year, the 49th year being historically the greatest dip in the stock market. That 7 x 7 year cycle started with the Jewish New Year, Mid September 2015. It being the 7 x 7th year, the following year should be a doozy following the historical stock market trends. Such that it would exceed 2008.
As for world news, you will look to Psalms 83:2, "For behold, thine enemies make an uproar; and those who hate thee have exalted themselves. They make shrewd plans against they people, and conspire together against thy treasured ones. They have said, "Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation; That the name of Israel be remembered no more" For they have conspired with one mind; against thee do they make a covenant; the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and Hagarites:" etc.
The 50th year in the cycle, year of Jubilee, following the 49th year, is the year that those who lost their land, get it returned. That historically would point to 1917 Balfour Declaration initiating the settlement of Palestine, and 1967, the 1967 Israel war and the occupation of all of Jerusalem. 2017 would be the next 50th year of Jubilee, where lands are returned. The next step is mapped in Joel 3:2, whereas "I will gather all the nations, and bring them down into the valley of Judges. Then I will enter into judgment with them there". Zechariah 14 points out that all the nations will gather against Jerusalem, and it will be "captured", and that then the nations will be struck by a plague, which description of such plague is almost word for word which can be found in the book Hiroshema, which described the conditions in Japan after the nuclear bomb exploded. At that time, "the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered" (Zechariah 14:14). And all the families of the earth will go up to Jerusalem every year to worship the king, and will observe the feast of booths, or receive no rain. (Zech 14:16-19)
