    Is Jerusalem Babylon

    There is only ONE city that the Bible ever designates as "Reigning over the kings of the earth". Earthly Jerusalem, by Divine right and calling, was the preeminent city among all nations. The Hebrew/Biblical understanding of Jerusalem is that she is the "Chief of the nations" (Jeremiah 31:7; Ez...

    Islam attacks Israel

    Well, yes, I’d ignore the ones that were going to land in the desert where no one is, and then I’d shoot the rest of them out of the sky, just like Israel did, and then LEAVE IT AT THAT, so as not to participate in any escalation in violence, in violation of my conscience and morals. After the...

    Islam attacks Israel

    Circle still not squared... You said the latest Iranian attack DEMANDED a particular response from Israel. - not that they were preparing a response or they will respond tit for tat... you said it DEMANDS a certain response. I want to know WHY you think such a response is DEMANDED? Becasue it...

    Islam attacks Israel

    That didn't square the circle. Why do you insist the recent Iranian attack DEMANDS a particular response from Israel? What are the consiquences of Israel failing to respond in the way you insist the situation DEMANDS they do, if you also insist that there is no conceivable response from Israel...

    Islam attacks Israel

    Which is why I found the overarching message of that post to be very, VERY strange for you. For example, I found your opening comment: To be polar opposite to your latest comment above: How do you square that circle? How could ANYTHING Israel does to "exact a significant price" accomplish...

    Islam attacks Israel

    It's almost as if your're asserting that Israel can actually take concrete steps to prevent what you also assert MUST take place there soon.... But I know you better than that. This was one of your stranger posts. :scratch:

    How many 2024 predictions have already failed? How many HAVE to fail before people realise?

    Well, If your position is that the text must not be taken literally, I'm good with that. I have no objection to you insisting on that "common sense" approach. It does make the rest of your arguments so far on this thread problematic, for up till now you've rested them on requiring a highly...

    How many 2024 predictions have already failed? How many HAVE to fail before people realise?

    No no no, I mean actual literal stars falling to earth, like the text literally says. What weapon can do that?

    How many 2024 predictions have already failed? How many HAVE to fail before people realise?

    What sort of weapon that is available today would cause a Star to fall to earth?

    How many 2024 predictions have already failed? How many HAVE to fail before people realise?

    Hitchens Razor. What can be asserted without evidence can be summarily rejected without evidence. The burden of proof regarding the truthfulness of a claim lies with the one who makes the claim; if this burden is not met, then the claim is unfounded, and its opponents need not argue further in...

    How many 2024 predictions have already failed? How many HAVE to fail before people realise?

    I went out to eat last night, ordered a steak medium rare and guess what? I successfully predicted that a medium rare steak would be delivered to my table. Amazing.

    How many 2024 predictions have already failed? How many HAVE to fail before people realise?

    Why would we expect the current 100% failure rate of futurist predictions to change?

    Silence In Heaven For Half An Hour

    Marking this post for a revisit on 1/1/32 to see where you move the goalposts this time. I must say it is impressive how you never tire of moving the goalposts after each failed prediction.

    Is Israel on the verge of an apocalyptic war prophesied in Bible?

    So anyone at all can simply take the land by force, establish a modern secular democracy and claim "we are Israel" and VIOLA! Prophesy Fulfilled in your view? Or is there some other Biblically required criteria that you believe was met?
