:igiveup: :biglmao: Let's just focus on #6. There is a muslim temple on the "christian temple" site. You are a bigger moron than I first thought.

Israel still has deserts. Let's face it, none of those are provable true.

You do get your hackles up when it comes to the reality that you will face judgement some day. I'm pretty comfortable with regard to my own intellect as compared to your's but, here's number 6--- In Micah 4:1, the prophet said that the Temple mount in Jerusalem would become the focal point of the world. This prophecy has not yet been fulfilled. But, it is interesting to note that Jerusalem is, and has been for centuries, the world's most important religious site. Christians and Jews regard the city as the world's most important, and Christians and Jews comprise about one-third of the world's population. No other city in the world is a religious focal point to as many people.

As we sit here debating whether the scriptures are valid, the United States is thoroughly immersed militarily in the middle east. Your boy Obama is center stage with this stuff 24/7, there are white house generated leaks, strategically designed to make Obama look like the boss. Middle Eastern terror groups and plots threaten every viable civilized country on the planet. War is either happening or will happen within days usually. Here is the list of middle eastern conflicts since Israel was reformed as a nation in 1948, which, is a major fulfillement of prophecy in and of itself---

Here is Isaiah 43:5-6, a prophecy extraordinaire predicting the reformation of the nation of Israel."Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, `Give them up!' and to the south, `Do not hold them back.' Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth…
