Don't egg them on, or we will have 2000 threads about all the prophecies they think are unfullfiled by tomorrow.

Nevermind that the root word of Revelation is reveal and it was written before AD70.

Nevermind that in Matthew 24 Christ was describing 2 separate events: 1)The destruction of the Temple in AD70(and with it all of the records of Israel), which all the signs pointed to, and 2)His Second coming which will have no signs.

Another question that comes to mind is that since the Temple and it's records were destroyed utterly in AD70, and with it all of the records of who was who, just how do they know who is a true Israelite any more? How will they select their high priest without a descendant of the tribe of Levi?

Well, I guess I'm not in total agreement with you. I do believe the Bible gives prophecy that pertains to the last days before Christ's 2nd coming. I do think we'll see signs, but when people try to give every historical event some sort of meaning in a very symbolic book, it troubles me.

I personally think that saying, "good guys win, bad guys lose" is a great way to sum everything up.

You sound so sure. Why do you think so? A few believe it was written earlier, but the prevailing consensus is that it was written around 95 ad. Check out this link for a decent evaluation.

First of all, God knows, and don't you think He has it in His power to make sure they return? And this is wild, but they reportedly are able to determine who is of priestly descent by their dna. Doesn't surprise me though, just reminds me of the wonders of God.
