I found this verse fascinating...

Deuteronomy 32:22 - For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

...because the last book in the Christian cannon, "Revelations", has the earth destroyed by fire. Turns out, once again, it says the same thing as the Torah.

You ignorant fool! This proves nothing but the depths of idiocy you seek to in trying to convert people who know a lot more than you.

First, that verse doesn't talk about about the destruction of the world (just like the verses in Isaiah so often cited as "prophecy" of the birth of Jesus-- i.e. a virgin shall conceive, they will call him Wonderful Counselor etc...--- aren't prophecy at all. In the original Hebrew, they are in the PAST TENSE-- i.e. a young woman HAS ALREADY CONCEIVED etc. and refer to the era of King Hezekiah).

If you had bothered to read the next few paragraphs (not to mention chapters... idiot Christian missionaries like you always cite single verses out of context), you would have seen that G-d is speaking metaphorically here. Refer a few verses down...

36Indeed the LORD will vindicate his people, have compassion on his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, neither bond nor free remaining. 37Then he will say: Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge, 38who ate the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their libations? Let them rise up and help you, let them be your protection!

G-d is giving his "blessings" and "curses" to Israel-- he is warning them that their nation will be destroyed when they sin, but restored when they repent. That's it buddy.

Even if this was a prophecy of the end of the world (which is isn't), your citation to Revelations proves nothing. The authors of Revelations had access to the entire Tanakh. Simply repeating a prophecy found in Tanakh (say in Zacaraiah) doesn't "prove" anything about Revelations except that it's authors knew how to read and how to copy. I could sit down right now and write "prophecy" that the Ten Tribes shall return, the Temple restored etc.. it wouldn't prove me a prophet, just a copier.
