It's ok if you don't know of any. Consider this...
The funny thing about Biblical Prophecies is that they tend to be centered
around *major* events. As such, there haven't been any really *major* Biblical
/ Spiritual events in the past millenium (I realize you may consider the
Reformation a big deal, and it is, but not from a Biblical perspective)
However, there are at least 2 (since you asked for 1 or 2) that I can think of
that are pre-requisities of a *major* event.
1) Israel's return to "their" homeland - occurred in 1948(?)
2) A vast, siumultaneous, increase in knowledge and travel (we're experiencing
more and more every day)
Perhaps the telling thing about these prophecies is the *major* event that they
are connected to. - The end of the world as we know it - the 'tribulation' and
the return of Christ to the world.
Digression:
I'm not attempting to argue the merits of the various perspectives on the
sequence of end-times events. Only to point out 2 prophicies that are connected
to them and that we have already witnessed.
