Bible prophecies

[Laza]

Are there any prophecies that have come true, and i dont mean did the prophecies from the old testament come true in the new testament, i mean did anything come true in history ?

Some shit about Israel becoming a nation-state in teh 40s?

Prophecy tends to be so vague that one can basically attribute any future event to what was supposedly prophesied in the past.

Heard the new temple was coming along nicely.






Never mind, that was an Office Depot in Tel Aviv.

[Faith No More]

The prophecies are so ambiguous that it's impossible to tell.

[BlackMason]

Don't forget that it doesn't count as fulfillment when people actively work to make the prophecy come true. If I walk into a restuarant and order boneless ribs with fries, do I become a prophet when the waiter brings exactly that in 20 minutes? Exactly.

Don't all nations have a specific day in their history where they sign a document stating they are now a country? Does 4 July 1776 ring a bell?

Israel being re-established is a good one.
God told them (because of their sin and rebellion) they would be taken captive and be led into all nations,
but also declared they would be brought back to their own land in the "Latter days".
They have come back to the land of Israel from all corners of the earth.
Even from India are some of the separated tribes coming - right now.

Israel (the name means "Power with God") has been removed for thousands of years and re-established.
Unique in all history.
Even their language is restored.
They are also in a state of unbelief (as prophesied).

The problem, B/S is that 'Ezekiel' ( or whoever) writes

19 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: When I make you a desolate city, like cities no longer inhabited, and when I bring the ocean depths over you and its vast waters cover you, 20 then I will bring you down with those who go down to the pit, to the people of long ago. I will make you dwell in the earth below, as in ancient ruins, with those who go down to the pit, and you will not return or take your place[c] in the land of the living. 21 I will bring you to a horrible end and you will be no more. You will be sought, but you will never again be found, declares the Sovereign Lord.”

Yet...it still remains and even in the apologetic nonsense that you posted all they can do is make excuses for why god is such a fuck up. Truly, gods should be made of sterner stuff!

You know. I bet I could go to Lebanon and buy a T-Shirt that says "I went to Tyre, Lebanon and got this lousy t-shirt because they are still fucking here to sell them!"

And the xtians will shriek and gnash their teeth and beat their breasts but Tyre remains.

Fuck them all.
