The ones that are so vague they can be interpreted any way they wish.
Silly person!
Purely a clarification question. Are these predictions all Old Testimate? Also... accept for the second one (only because of dragons), all three will come to pass eventually as the sun expands into a red giant.
Yeah, sometimes proponents of the Bible point out that there are millions of years more for those prophecies to come true, and at the same time they expect Jesus to come back any time soon.
So, let's put aside, as Valkyrie pointed out, that Nebuchadnezzar died, shouldn't these prophecies have to come true first before Jesus comes back? Because if the land of Egypt doesn't get wasted by Nebuchadnezzar, all its people killed, rivers dry up, and it becomes uninhabited for forty years, then Bible lied, and if the Bible lied then Jesus won't come back because the Bible is just bunch of lies.
So this either means that Jesus is not coming back until Egypt becomes uninhabited for forty years, or it means that he is never coming back because Bible is deceitful.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
