Yet you accept the Gog/Magog prophesy from the same sketchy sources.
I only use prophecies mentioned in the Quran.
If the prophecy from any other source, I denounce it as not "to be trusted".
The Quran mentions 2 main prophecies:
1-the rise of the kingdom of Israel in the end times (happened; we live in the period now):
Quote:Sura 17, The Quran:
https://quran.com/17?startingVerse=4
(4) And We warned the Children of Israel in the Scripture, “You will certainly cause corruption in the land twice, and you will become extremely arrogant.
(5) When the first of the two warnings would come to pass, We would send against you some of Our servants of great might, who would ravage your homes. This would be a warning fulfilled.
(6) Then ˹after your repentance˺ We would give you the upper hand over them and aid you with wealth and offspring, causing you to outnumber them.
(7) If you act rightly, it is for your own good, but if you do wrong, it is to your own loss. “And when the second warning would come to pass, your enemies would ˹be left to˺ totally disgrace you and enter the Temple ˹of Jerusalem˺ as they entered it the first time, and utterly destroy whatever would fall into their hands.
(8) Perhaps your Lord will have mercy on you ˹if you repent˺, but if you return ˹to sin˺, We will return ˹to punishment˺. And We have made Hell a ˹permanent˺ confinement for the disbelievers.”
2-the advent of Gog Magog:
Quote:Sura 21, The Quran:
https://quran.com/21?startingVerse=96
(96) until ˹after˺ Gog and Magog have broken loose ˹from the barrier˺,1 swarming down from every hill,
(97) ushering in the True Promise.1 Then—behold!—the disbelievers will stare ˹in horror, crying,˺ “Oh, woe to us! We have truly been heedless of this. In fact, we have been wrongdoers.”
These are the prophecies in the Quran about the end times' events.
Israel did become a great nation again.
The remaining sign is Gog Magog breaking loose from their barrier.
I suspect Russia & China are Gog/Magog, they will unite again when the barrier -Great Wall of China- is demolished. This my speculation.
So no, I don't use other books but the Quran.
