Even if they did, I have ashes in my fireplace. That doesn't prove anything. Likewise, if it was burnt down thousands of years ago, the ashes would be long gone by now.
Yes maybe it would, if it wasn't a miracle of God. Read the verses below
Deuteronomy 29:22-24
22 So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the Lord hath laid upon it;
23 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
24 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?
What if 2 Timothy is wrong? You're working on the presupposition that the Bible is correct. You can't use the bible as evidence to prove itself correct. Of course it's going to claim it's being truthful... every holy book ever written claims to be the word of some god. You need supporting evidence to prove it.
So Paul and all the other apostles etc suffered as much as they did for nothing? Jesus also said we would be hated for his sake. Christians are the most hated people.
Watch Brother Yun's testimony, he's from China. He was without food and water for like over 50 days if I remember right. He got out of prison miraculously just like some Paul or some other apostle(s) got out from prison by a miracle of God. God opened the jail door for Brother Yun and healed his broken knees.
Don't come up with things like "well that's not true evidence". Would a man travel to USA to tell lies? China persecutes Christians.
I can say the same about evolution for example. They can just make things up, and earn money on it. Claiming what they have is evidence after research etc.
What talks about Nukes in that passage?
Zechariah 5
1 Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold
a flying roll.
2 And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered,
I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
3 Then said he unto me,
This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
4 I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house,
and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
5 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me,
Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.
6 And I said, What is it? And he said,
This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.
7 And, behold,
there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
8 And he said,
This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold,
there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.
