One of the greatest books ever written.

The "prophesies" you mention were historical events that had already occurred by the time of their writing in around 500 bc.

"In Genesis 15:5, the Bible said that Abraham would have many descendants and that counting them would be like counting the stars. Today, scientists say it is impossible to count the stars because the universe is too vast. Today, we also know that counting Abraham's descendants is also impossible. There are about 20 million Jews in the world today."

20 mil / 6.5 bil = 0.31% of the world, or less than one-third of 1%.

... and I rounded up.

Regarding: "2. The Israelites would be like dust, spreading out to the east, west, north and south. (Gen. 28:14). Throughout history, the Jews have been scattered worldwide. They are the first and only group of people to be scattered worldwide.

Subsequently there are other people who have been scattered worldwide. One such are the Romany, and another are the Sa'ami. The Romany through their own interest in traveling on to new places, or to flee persecution, and the Sa'ami through their dominance of the whaling industry in the 1700 and 1800s.

Then we have the case of all of the people in the Celtic fringe. Their home countries (Wales, Scotland, Brittany, Galicia, Ireland, Manx) today have but 10% of the ethnic populations whose origins pertain to those lands. The other 90% are somewhere else, usually in a lot of "somewhere elses".

It is a Blessing to watch Bible Prophesy unfold before our very eyes. It is an exciting time to be alive and to be able to witness all that has happened since 1948 when Israel was made a nation again. That's Gods time clock, and it's really been ticking since that time.

Yassar Arafat had to be taken out of the way before there could be another peace accord in the Middle East. IF this is 'THE' peace accord that will be broken in 3 1/2 years, we are indeed living in the 'End Times'. "Look up, your redemption draws nigh!"

How can conversion not be required for salvation? Is that an infallible statement? Is it based on scripture?

[ConservativeMind]

The Bible is one of the greatest books ever written.

Books about such "prophesies" are bogus.

As Christian, what may or may not happen is irrelevant. We must follow God with all that we are regardless.

We have nothing to fear as long as we do that. Honest.

However, if you do happen to see the Four Horsemen in midair going around the world, then our time is almost up.

Abraham's descendants would have their own country

That's Issac's country, which one is Ishmael's?

Interesting that most of these concern the Jewish people and Israel, but according to them, #9 hasn't yet happened (a Savior, that is. None deny the literal existence of Jesus).

I have never thought we should have supported Israel because of what the Bible says.
