The purge of Israel in their time of trouble is described by Zechariah in these words: “And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith Jehovah, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried” (Zechariah 13:8, 9).
According to Zechariah’s prophecy, two thirds of the children of Israel in the land will perish
Actually his interpretation of Zechariah here is an overstatement of what it actually says. The "two parts therein" does not specifically constitute the children of Israel as those who will be cut off, but may very well refer to the non-Jewish element in the land, aka the Palestinians, whose numbers are swiftly approaching that "two thirds" number.
The "two parts therein" may very well constitute the Palestinian contingent (and those who are selling out their Jewish heritage), and "the third part" would constitute the Jewish inhabitants in the land brought through the fire.
ROTFLM*O!!!!! I'm atellin' ya!!!!
Dr. Hank Hanegraaff (the Bible Answer Man) has a new end times book out “The Apocalypse Code†which takes a very preterest view. I didn’t find it very convincing. One can make a decent preterest argument with regard to Chapter 24 of Matthew (because of the “and this generation shall not pass...†language) but I’ve never heard a convincing preterest interpretation of Revelation. The argument that 666 = Nero Caesar is ludicrous.
Ugh.
A bit fixated on this topic?
This constant harping on this topic shows a divisive carnal spirit and someone who is totally imbalanced, kind of like the Birchers who used to harp, harp, harp on the CFR.
This would cause chaos on a wide scale in many areas of human events.. By the way its no secret this is PLANNED.. and being planned.. Whats NOT usually talked about is the return of the so-called MUSLIM MESSIAH the Madi..
Worldly events are streaming toward some kind of chaos.. no doubt about that.. Something may happen soon too. To shine this on as superstition is silly.. Them muzzies are serious.. Muslims are in your face superstition.. That superstition can blow up in your FACE.. After all WE are only infidels..
Just a thought re-reading the bible might not be a bad idea..
