I don't think this current conflict in Israel will turn into Armageddon, but let's say that it did and predictions of the Bible start coming true. Would you as an atheist, religious jew, muslim, buddhist, or anything else feel compelled to consider prophesies in the Bible as evidence that it was true? Why or why not?

No. Because despite any truth it may have -- and I might say it's completely true -- I prefer a different truth.
However... saying it's completely true is mostly just to avoid argument.

Many people have a misunderstanding of the battle of Armageddon based on the self-proclaimed fiction of the Left Behind series. The Bible says that Armageddon is a battle between good and evil that will occur in the last days. That battle has already begun. Prophecy in the Bible is fulfilling right before our very eyes! If you want to know more, go to the following website and take their free Bible Prophecy studies. They are fascinating. While you are there, read the article about What Left Behind left behind.

This isn't Armageddon, there are some things that need to happen first.
There will be a great war before that day, one that will kill one third of the world!
I imagine that people will think that it's Armageddon then, but it won't be it.
There needs to be the Jewish Temple to be rebuilt, and the Jewish peace treaty will need to be signed.
The peace treaty is the event that marks the 7 year great tribulation period.
But of course, some people will never repent of their sins, even though horrible things come their way! The Bible says so! Rev. 9:20-21

I reject Christianity because their e book is contradictory, and no god has ever been shown, no longer to point the god from the bible. even as the e book you base each little thing on treats women as 2d class voters, condoning slavery, homicide, close up. only stop it, you're speaking goofy nonsense. you won't be able to tell me that is the only way. If it wasn't, for certain, for certain it does no longer have 40,000 diverse denominations. we do not actually have the quite bible, what we've's a e book first translated into Latin, then into Greek, then into historic Hebrew. once you've a memories advised in oral custom for 1000 years before it is ever written in historic Hebrew. And to this present day, they only comprehend 3/4 words of historic Hebrew. To this present day, 25% of each of the words, they do no longer comprehend what that is. And, in historic Hebrew, there have been no numbers. So, letters also double as numbers. So, you lose each of the numerical cost that is imported interior the textual content. like the word god and the word love, they have a similar numerical cost. and that is major for sentencing. And even as that changed into translated into Latin and Greek, they misplaced all of that. and that is a majority of those memories are, 1000's of years of folk bullshiting around the campfire, to the unique textual content, being indecisive to what they have on the prompt. And after all that, you're going to inform me Christianity is nice? you'll might want to be loopy, easily loopy.

Too many people think, there will be a 2nd chance.
too many others believe, God would not send people to hell.
I doubt many change. This Israel conflict has opened a new can of worms. It is a start. No doubt.
Good Question

No. Even if Jesus were to come soaring down out of the sky in full battle dress with an army of angels behind him, non-Christians aren't going to believe it.
I think the only thing that can ever change a person's heart is love.
That is what changed mine....

For the sake of Humanity I'd feel compelled to go to war against the god of II Kings 2:23-24.
Any 'god' who uses two bears to rip apart 40-odd children for calling his pal "baldy" is an abomination and decidedly unhealthy for Humanity.

The bible is not specific enough in its "prophecies" to convince me.
All biblical "prophecies" have "occured" after the fact. In other words they are postdicted, never predicted.
Christians have also claimed that WWI and WWII were the begining of armagedon. They were wrong.

I don't 'reject' REAL Christianity which believed that Jesus was God's PROPHET, not any more. The thing I don't believe in is the corrupted version of Christianity. But unfortuanely it's impossible to retrieve it. Islam now represents a continuation of the REAL message of prophet Jesus (Peace be with him). I hope that GOD leads you to his true path. Open your heart and listen to the truth.

If the Redskins win the superbowl, would you think twice going to see the Patriots play during the regular season? If you die young anyway, would you think twice about not smoking now? If 1.2 million people worldwide are killed in auto accidents (acc. to Wikipedia), would you think twice about having a driver's license now? If the polar ice caps melt from global warming, would you think twice about owning a snowmobile now?
