The Oracle at Delphi was just as accurate.
It is only your belief that makes you argue in favor of these prophesies; in spite of the post title, "Hard empirical evidence" is lacking. Otherwise you could tie specific prophesies to specific events long in advance. The track record of believers doing this over the past 2,000 years is probably worse than chance. And its always, "But we're sure this time!""
Coyote please reread carefully what you have last posted. There's not one thing in your message specifying anything relative to the prophecies that I've covered. You remind me of the child that keeps on repeating, "just because" when asked for a reason why.
Don't you think it's phenomenal for a nation of ancient people to be scattered into nations worldwide for 19 long centuries and to suddenly return to their homeland to establish it again?
Don't you think it's phenomenal for this nation to be surrounded by the very nations which the prophecy says will seek the destruction of the new nation?
Don't you think it's phenomenal that this little nation will emerge at a time when global government is in the making and when marks and numbers become significant globally for the first time in history at precisely the same era that the new nation is formed?
Don't you think it's phenomenal that all of this and so much more prophesied for the last days is slated for what the various prophecies call the "end times" or the "latter days?"
Don't you think it's phenomenal that not only the OT prophets forsaw this re-emergence of the Jews back in their land, but that Jesus, the prophesied messiah would also make the prediction that the gentile nations would no longer occupy Jerusalem and that he, the Jew would return to be the messiah of that nation as prophesied, corroborating with the Ezekiel prophecies and others?
I could go on and on and on about corroborating evidence that non of the other so called prophets that you cite have nothing anywhere near the track record of the Biblical record.
Why am I needing to repeat all of this to you people who keep on keeping on denying the evidence?
You people have reduced your replies to this classic example of yours which is nothing but "just because." How about something of substance if you have something to contribute to the thread?
You allege it's "just your belief." It's not just my belief. It's hard evidence that I have produced. It's just your bulligerant denial of the facts that we're dealing with here.
