Hello fellow non-believers,
I registered here to look for assistance on a pretty specific topic. I want to find valid and well researched information on some of the claims that biblical prophets ( e.g. Jesaja, Hesekiel, Amos, Sacharja, Lukas, Apostels) made in regard to the reclamation of Israel. The named prophets are said to have predicted the Jewish Diaspora and also that god will return their ancestral home to them.
When I tried to find some credible information on the internet I usually came across christian websites claiming the validity of these prophecies with loads of Bible quotes. But not a single one that would provide relevant scientific research on the subject.
Why do I even care about that? The reason is a pretty personal one. A friend of mine is a very religious person and I had some pretty heated debates on a variety of subjects with him. Most of the time theses discussions will end with him replying that "I just have to believe or it won't work for you" rebuke. Most religious people I've debated came to that conclusion at some point or another.
But there is one particular topic I don't have enough information on. My friend likes to claim that god already delivered on his promise of returning their ancestral homeland to the Jewish people. And thus all scripture must be true.
Can you help me find the information that I seek?
