You mean the LORD will bring revelation upon them.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Just can't get decent fluffers these days. No wonder "God" gets so annoyed.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Well, circumcisions are down, and god just can't get motivated without a heaping load of foreskins..

They ought to have a sale or something: "Take a tip from us ... Circumcisions - half off!"

Well given this
Leviticus 2013 “‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
And then we have john 21:20
Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?

Now since Jesus is god after all, I think our lord is in the
closet
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

And what was the deal with the young naked guy at Jesus' arrest who made the hasty exit?

Quote:Mark 14:51-52 And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him: And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

Tyre was badly damaged in the late 1970s (Operation Litani) and early 1980s (1982 Lebanon War) during the war between Israel and thePalestine Liberation Organization (PLO). The city was used as a base by the PLO, and was nearly destroyed by Israeli artillery.[23] After Israel's 1982 invasion of southern Lebanon, the city was the site of an Israeli military post. In late 1982, and again on November 1983, buildings housing Israeli headquarters were destroyed by bombs, causing dozens of deaths in both cases and known in Israel as the First and Second Tyre Catastrophes

This prophecy is oddly clear. The city would have had to have been sunk and abandon after an attack by a Nebuchadnezzar.

Not to mention the fact that Jesus chose 12 men to be closest to him. This is all inductive indeed

According to the dimmest of the xtian dim bulbs around here the Israelis bombarded a city which does not exist. Perhaps they used depth charges to get below the waves?

That's only because they didn't have faith in Jesus. If they did, they'd have known that Tyre didn't exist and so the PLO must have based their operations elsewhere and any intel to the contrary must be wrong.

And before you say, "but that was the OT", remember, they fell out of favor with the Lord sometime around when the Gospel of John was penned and "the Jews" became a separate, hostile faction.
