Lies, misquotes and unbelief. God has never missed a prophecy, nor ever will.
Isaiah 17:1-2
says Damascus will cease to be a city forever....
*************************************
Firstly, time is not finished yet, but it will be. Then your news paper will have no news, because all news will have ceased, as eternity rushes in.
There may be many scenarios how this could happen, but one of the most likely will be an attack from Israel upon Damascus that could involve nuclear weapons....and remember, Syria has been caught before very close to creating one, and Israel bombed their facility back into the stone-age. [ 2007 ]. So, it ain't over until it's over...and Damascus will be destroyed.
Israel will be surrounded by armies, trying to annihilate her...but God Himself will arise to rescue her, as Jesus returns with wrath.
"Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us."

Isaiah 19: 5-7
..says the Nile River will completely dry up and be no more.
It does not say the Nile will dry up. The prophecy states that "The River" will dry up...which when spoken this way, always refers to the Euphrates. The Nile is always spoken of as the river of Egypt. There are other references about the Euphrates drying up, when the "Armies of the East" invade Israel, at the end of days.

Ezekiel 29 :8-12
says Egypt will become desolate and uninhabited for 40 years. Never happened.
Oh, but it did happen!
" Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia."
John Wesley comments..
Syene Boundary between Ethiopia and Egypt; that is, all Egypt from north-east to south-west.
Verse 11
" No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years."
Forty years These forty years began about the thirtieth year of Jeconiah's captivity, and end with the seventieth year of the captivity, which was the first of Cyrus.
Verse 14
And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom.
Pathros The southern part of Egypt, in which was the famous city Thebae, known for its hundred gates.
Their habitation The ancient habitation of their fathers.
A base A low, tributary, dependent kingdom.
Verse 15
It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.
No more rule Though in the times of the Ptolemeys, it was considerable, yet then, even then it did not rule the nations about her.**********************************
Ezekiel 29: 19-20
says Nebuchadnezzar will conquer Egypt. He didn't.
Oh, but he did.
Read this ancient and respected Historian, Berossus: He says, "that this Babylonian king conquered Egypt , and Syria, and Phoenicia, and Arabia, and exceeded in his exploits all that had reigned before him in Babylon and Chaldaea."

A little after which Berossus subjoins what follows in his History of Ancient Times. I will set down Berossus' own accounts, which are these:
"When Nabopolassar, father of Nebuchadnezzar, heard that the governor whom he had set over Egypt , and over the parts of Coele-Syria and Phoenicia, had revolted from him, he was not able to bear it any longer; but committing certain parts of his army to his son Nebuchadnezzar, who was then but young, he sent him against the rebel: Nebuchadnezzar joined battle with him, and conquered him, and reduced the country under his dominion again."

Daniel 11:45
Says Antiochus IV would die between Jerusalem and the Mediterranean Sea. But he very uncooperative died in Persia.
Another lie, and misquote. Nowhere in Daniel does it mention Antiochus, but a future ruler, who commits the abomination that makes desolate. This is obviously referring to the coming Anti-Christ, and I believe it refers to the time he sets himself up in Jerusalem to be worshipped.
For centuries, theologians have surmised the Antiochus IV was this man, as he slaughtered the famous pig at the temple at Jerusalem. He was not, but just similar. This man described in Daniel is yet to come.******************* |
