Not A Coincidence.

[Theland]

Israel is surrounded by nations that want it wiped off the map. Israel has more United Nations resolutions against it than any other country. It is in fact surrounded, that is, under siege.
Everybody including the Pope have something to say about Jerusalem, but nobody can reconcile the fact that it is Israels historical capital, and also regarded as most holy by Muslims and Christans.
Now the POTUS is moving his embassy to Jerusalem, and the world is up in arms. Violence breaks out once again.
Was this prophesied?
Yes it was.
Read Zechariah chapter 12.
So is it all just coincidence?

[nailit]

No its not coincidence Theland. It wasn't even prophecied by Zechariah chapter 12.
God Almighty (forgive the blasphemy) but how many times (or even links) b4 you acknowledge that it just isn't so?

[Theland]

Sorry but it IS so. Check out the videos on YouTube that deal with it. Simple to research. Or not if you don't fancy it.

[Theland]

A cup of trembling?
A heavy stone?

>>> it is Israels historical capital

Check your history (and your Bible). The capital of Israel was Tirzah, which was replaced by the new city of Samaria. (1 Kings) Scechem also served as Israel's capital. All of them (or their remains) are now in the West Bank.

Jerusalem was the capital of Judah.

The foundational stories of the Hebrews are centred around the brutal genocidal massacre of more than thirty tribes who lived in the lands they invaded. They claim that God commanded them to do this as His "Chosen Race" and continue to assert this as their "Promised Land".

Hardly surprising that they are not popular with their neighbours. One does not need to be a prophet to anticipate violence when violence is so integral to the Jewish culture.

PS: It's remarkably easy to link modern events to the predictions of Nostradamus. Should we all therefore bow down to him as a god?

Zecharia 12.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Zechariah+12

All I see are threats of violence. Nothing in there that has come to pass. Moreover it talks of the horses of its enemies. It has been quite a while since horses have been used in wars so it would appear that time has run out for the "prophecy" to be fulfilled.

//Check out the videos on YouTube that deal with it//
Check out the videos on you tube that deal with alien abduction, the cures for cancer, the evidence for joseph smiths claims, the vids that deal with the evidence for the koran, the hindu Veda's the Buddhist claims. Check out the evidence that eating meat causes cancer, the evidence that eating vegan causes cancer, the evidence that flurode causes cancer, the evidence that modern medicine is demonic etc etc etc.
Stop quoting you tube and start debating your own bible

Theland. Don't be ridiculous. Israel is not 'under siege'.

[Jackdaw33]

As Chico points out, Israel and Judah were two separate kingdoms.

Waste of time. Goodbye. Enjoy.

Thailand@ Interesting point about Zechariah 12. I have looked it up and I can see where you are coming from. Pity so many who call themselves intelligent cannot see it. They only read the words and not the meaning behind them.

[HansUrbancka]

Theland.....If this is your final goodbye then it needs to be expressed in an appropriate song.

The deluded will read whatever they want into the words.

If the Bible were truly the word of a supernatural they would be precise and unambiguous. And they certainly wouldn't be full of contradictions and lies.

anybody got the flounce form?

The only siege in the area is that by Israel where they have blocked supplies to Gaza for the past decade.

Theland - // Waste of time. Goodbye. Enjoy. //

Surely your Christianity demands of you that you continue banging on the door, even though it remains closed?

What strength of faith do you really have if you can just give up and walk away because people argue your point, and don't blindly accept it, as you do?

[nailit]

//Waste of time. Goodbye. Enjoy.//
WOW, your debating skills really are top notch Theland...
Some ABers question your post and you have a tantrum.

[HansUrbancka]

@nailit....You know as well as a lot of us in AB that Theland lives in the land of make believe.

He certainly is unable to argue his case and regularly makes statements such as..... "If you want proof, do your own research ".
"Look at videos on you tube". " The bible has all the answers if you read it ".

How do you decide which bits of the bible are to be taken at face value and which bits require your own interpretation?
