Abraham was their father...
Genesis 25:9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre; 25:10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife...........

That is what my bro St Saul/Paul says:Wakey, wakey, rise and shine,
The World is sleepwalking, but it is time to wake up
(Just had to say it.
Coz, who knows the number of ones days?)
That is what my bro St Saul/Paul says:
Romans 13:11
And this being being aware the time, that hour already ye out of sleep to be roused,
for now nearer of us the Salvation/swthria <4991> than we believe [Reve 7:10, 12:10, 19:1]
Reve 12:10
And I hear great voice saying in the Heaven "now became the Salvation/swthria <4991> and the power and the Kingdom of the God of us, and the authority of the Christ of Him.
That was cast the Accuser of the brothers of us, the onevaccusing them in sight of the God of us day and night. [John 5:45]
The Destruction of Jerusalem - George Peter Holford, 1805AD
Thus they cut the very sinews of their own strength. At this critical and alarming conjuncture, intelligence arrived that the Roman an army was approaching the city. The Jews were petrified with astonishment and fear ; there was no time for counsel, no hope of pacification, no means of flight:-- all was wild disorder and perplexity :- nothing was to be heard but "the confused noise of the warrior, " -- nothing to be seen but garments rolled in blood," -- nothing to be expected from the Romans but signal and exemplary vengeance...............

Ezekiel 38:21
Then will I call against him every terror, declareth My Lord Yahweh.
The sword of every man against his brother shall be;
[Matt 10:34/Revelation 6:4]
Mat 10:
21 “Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.
22 “And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.
34 "No thou should be inferring that I came to be casting Peace upon the land.
Not I came to be casting Peace but a Sword
Revelation 6:4
and there went forth another horse--red, and to him who is sitting upon it, there was given to him to take the peace from the land,
and that one another they may slay, and there was given to him a great sword.

The Destruction of Jerusalem - George Peter Holford, 1805AD
The Destruction Of JERUSALEM
An Absolute and Irresistible PROOF OF THE DIVINE ORIGIN OF CHRISTIANITY:
*snip*........ While Jerusalem was a prey to these ferocious and devouring factions, every part of Judea was scourged and laid waste by bands of robbers and murderers, who plundered the towns; and, in case of resistance, slew the inhabitants, not sparing either women or children..
Simon, son of Gioras, the commander of one of these bands, at the head of forty thousand banditti, having with some difficulty entered Jerusalem, gave birth to a third faction, and the flame of civil discord blazed out again, with still more destructive fury. The three factions, rendered frantic by drunkenness, rage, and desperation, trampling on heaps of slain, fought against each other with brutal savageness and madness.
Even such as brou't sacrifices to the temple were murdered. The dead bodies of priests and worshippers, both natives and foreigners were heaped together, and a lake of blood stagnated in the sacred courts. John of Gischala, who headed one of the factions, burnt storehouses full of provisions ; and Simon, his great antagonist, who headed another of them, soon afterwards followed his example. Thus they cut the very sinews of their own strength.
At this critical and alarming c onjuncture, intelligence arrived that the Roman an army was approaching the city. The Jews were petrified with astonishment and fear ; there was no time for counsel, no hope of pacification, no means of flight:-- all was wild disorder and perplexity :- nothing was to be heard but "the confused noise of the warrior, " -- nothing to be seen but garments rolled in blood

Yes, it was apparently worse than it would be at any other time at that time in history. But as there are double or multiple fulfillments of other things prophesied in the scriptures, so it is likely the case with this. Jesus was speaking of what would come that would precede his coming, and the scenario in Revelation is definitely about what is happening in the times in which he will return in the judgments on this world. There will be the armies to, insanely, fight against Yahweh God, they gather in the promised land in the vicinity of Jerusalem, and according to the prophecy linking to this in Zechariah it is to fight Jerusalem. In what is prophesied Christ, who is Yahweh in Zechariah 12:9 and Zechariah 14:3-4, defeats them. This is surely yet to happen.
After Malachi, prophecy departed from Israel. Malachi 4.
more than that I do not know.
It might not be known by some people, but there are a great many prophecies that have been fulfilled in Jesus. So many could never still be determined as fulfilled in any individual in modern times, and it is far too unlikely that they were fulfilled by chance. Yahweh knew all along how they would be fulfilled.
I care not of prophecies.I had too many prophecies collected and had to delete those, and I left this to post.
dlamberth said:I care not of prophecies. It's the Light of God shining in ones Heart that interest me.
Certainly, God's light shining from our heart, which comes in repenting of sin contrary to God, to live for God through what is revealed, is important. Prophecy isn't for everyone. But fulfilled prophecy is of value when it can be shown to one responding, "Well, the more one digs the more one finds so trying to make ends meet can be made difficult when the ends keep moving." Fulfilled prophecy is not going to be moved from anything else being found. It is too bad, I think it would be desirable but Christian Forums won't permit all the fulfilled prophecies to be posted in one post. They were numbered. And I had started deleting them from the top, and didn't want to spend more time deleting the numbers on the items I could leave, and not knowing what I could leave, I deleted all of it but the last item on fulfilled prophecy. Christian forums not permitting all the fulfilled prophecies to be posted in one post is
working against its Christianity in that issue, so it is ironic.
I guess what I'm looking at is the trajectory of living through God...through God as though God is one's reality in life. That's a whole different mind set.Certainly, God's light shining from our heart, which comes in repenting of sin contrary to God, to live for God through what is revealed, is important.
True. I wonder if it can get into the way of living though God through. For myself I find that it gets into he way, that's all.Prophecy isn't for everyone.
Robban said:Concerning the ultimate redemption, there are many sources which apply,
Both from Torah, book of Prophets and writings.
I could copy a partial list compiled by Maimonides,
many sources, but that would not change your mind.
Just as your list would have no effect on me.
So it is good that CF does not allow so much

I think you're quite right. All your sources won't change my mind. Why? As I had posted,
Because scores of fulfilled prophecies are convincing, and aren't dismissed with other information given without that. God would make prophecies that would be fulfilled, that others can't do.
And redemption pointed to in the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings is not contrary to that, but consistent.
Living through God, with God working through us, is certainly of great value. And nothing should be more valued than God in our lives. If we are at where we see that, with truth there is with that, it would be fine. But apparently many are not there. Fulfilled prophecies are something that many of such, who would dismiss what is truth from what is revealed from God, would find convincing enough for not dismissing it.

Robban said:You mean like Mathew 2:17?
It was supposed to be a fullfillment of a prophesy.
Killing all boys of two years of age and under does not fullfill the prophesy from Jeremiah 31:14.
Jeremiah 31:14,
So says the the Lord:
A voice is heard on high,
lamentation, bitter weeping.
Rachel weeping for for her children,
for they are not.
31:15,
So says the Lord:
Refrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears,
for there is reward for your work , says the Lord,
and they shall come back from the land of the enemy.
It was just for this that Rachel was not buried together with the Patriachs and Matriachs
in the cave of Makpelah.
So why bother going further?
That was, in fact, not in the long list of gathered fulfilled prophecies that I might have posted. But it does seem to be a good one. Of course there was the other meaning for before, when Rachel's people were returning there from lands where the people were taken by their enemies. It is yet significant that there were children born in that land that were taken violently and killed, for Rachel to weep for, at the time it was happening to stop the Christ. And through Christ there is the resurrection, that those children, with many others, will return from death, the enemy of us all. Greater meaning in prophecy is something to understand.
Where do you get that this was why Rachel was not buried in the cave in Makpelah? Rachel had died in childbirth, while Jacob Israel had been in the area of Bethlehem with his family, so that was where she was buried. That was why she was there, and not at the cave of Makpelah.
