Bible prophecy real?
We are in final age/era of the body of Christ, the church. Note, the church is NOT roman catholicism, greek orthodox, methodist, baptist, etc.
Their is the spiritual reality of the church, the body of Christ which consists ONLY of those who are born-again meaning their name is written in the Lamb’s book of life.
Their is the physical reality of the church because you & I are mortals. The physical reality of the church has the ability in the hundred of thousands of local gatherings/congregations to have members that are not born again. In the congregations many have apostasized and even some have deliberately aided in the apostasy. Sadly this apostasy does infect and affect the spiritual body of Christ.

We are in the final age of the local church, Laodicea.

Revelation 3:14-22  And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;  [15]  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.  [16]  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.  [17]  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:  [18]  I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.  [19]  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.  [20]  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.  [21]  To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.  [22]  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

BTW, what is next?
Revelation 4:1-2  After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.  [2]  And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
