Genesis 12:7, God promises that the land of Israel was to be for Abraham and his descendants. In 1948 Israel was returned back to the Jewish people for the second time in history. This may not seem so astonishing until you realize that no nation in the history of the world has been scattered from its homeland and returned! Israel has done it twice.

God also warns us about the last days, world wars, hunger, earthquakes, loveless people, children been disobedient to parents, diseases, etc. Matthew 24
May I also just add that the bible comes from the oldest part of our civilized world, why is human civilization only a mere 6000 years old... why? if we ivolved over a period of millions of years? Why is our history so short?
The Bible so far outshines every competing source for being God's revelation that if it is not God's word it would seem impossible to choose between the leftovers?

Maya, Even the UN states this is the most violent era.
sorry we LIVE in the most violet times. " "Medical technology saves ever more lives every year," he says. "If we had 1930s medical technology today, the murder rate would be ten times what it is." He claims that people are trying to kill people ten times as often as they used to do back when there were no police and no common access to courts of law, but that modern emergency medicine is masking the increase."

Actually, what is going on isn't obvious enough to know if it is the end.
Human history is way more than 6000 years old. CIVILIZED culture is about 8000 years old, starting with the Chinese, Greek, and Mesopotamians. Homo sapiens have been around for 10,000 years total. PS, I'm not saying evolution is accurate. Just giving you "facts"
Many think that the end is near because of the "uprise" of gay people. Not true. There have always been gay people (like Richard the Lionheart was gay) but until now, it wasn't acceptable to come out.
Don't worry about the end times. If you believe in God, you will be fine. While you are here, make a different to the world so we can live to our full potential before the end.

Our history isnt as short as you make it, the body they dug out of the Alps being 5000 years old, However sections of the Ankor Wat temple in Cambodia have been dated to over 14,000 years old. They have even discovered remnants in Ethiopia that pre-date this. When this discovery was found some religous groups where saying that was Eden.
In 1948 the Jewish people reclaimed Isreal, was this not because the bible said they should. After the persecution they suffered in Europe their beliefs gave them strength to achieve a homeland once again for themselves.
There have been wars since the begining of history and this can be seen throughout relgous records.
It amazes me how so many see similarities in what is in the Bible to what is happening and say its proof of God.
It prooves nothing. The only way God can prove himself is to come down to Earth cure all disease pain and suffering unite all the religions and then what?
The bible doesnt come from the oldest part of the civilized world. The oldest part of the Civilised world is in Cambodia but that civilization appears to have collopsed and fled to India.

i think of that the international Noah knew replaced into flooded. So the Atlantic section and the Mediterranean Sea, and Noah ended up coursing for the duration of the Mediterranean Sea, settling someplace interior the land of that area. So i'm no longer finding for a flood which lined each and all the earth, in basic terms a undeniable portion of the earth which Noah knew. (interior the comparable experience, I understand that Alexander the large has been traditionally credited as to have conquered the whole earth, yet he did no longer bypass previous Asia into the Americas, etc.) while custom is stumbled directly to be incorrect approximately some thing, I actually have a tendency to look for a deeper meaning or redefine what's written or stated. So the flood tale isn't difficult to swallow. interior of context of what replaced into properly-known, or what i think of replaced into properly-known on the time, God makes specific issues clearer via His Spirit. The Bible is merely no longer understood exact devoid of His impact.

Apparently you are not aware that the Old Testament Bible is pre-dated by over a thousand years by the Sumerian religious story, the Epic of Gilgamesh. Many of the stories of Genesis are simply monotheistic variations of the polytheistic stories of faith as found in the Epic of Gilgamesh. Plus, it was written during a time of captivity by the Babylonians and many centuries after Abram left the same region to find the land Yahweh would show him.

What it proves is that keeping a separate identity by maintaining a separate language, diet, and religious tradition can work. It proves that territory is not a good measure of nationality by itself.(although it should be noted that the Jews tended to form their own territories inside other countries and cities, most other nationalities do this too. Look around at how cities get divided still)

one thing you must remember about the world and it's leaders is that religion plays a large part in politics. studies have shown that somewhere in the viscinity of 95% of the worlds population believes in a god or higher power of some kind. in america that god is in the form of a christian god, isreal a jewish god, and the same goes for other countries respectively. what happens when you have situations like this is you end up with world leaders reflective of the individuals of those countries, i.e. america has only had christian presidents. and much of their policy in turn reflects their belief system, i.e. george bush claiming god told him to go to war. so it also stands to reason that a country like america, who's military influence is far greater than that of the rest of the world's, is going to have more say in what gets done as far as international policy is concerned.
as far as matthew 24 goes, these are things that have been going on since the days of the bible being written. it wasn't a prediction about things to come, it was literally happening when the bible was written. and those that were writing it believed they were living in end times.
that's just my theory anyway and i could be wrong...

Yes, it is proof.
May I also just add that the Hebrews (Jews) have been around for over four thousand years, Read the History of Civilizations, every other civilization started,grew,declined as a civilization in the span of five hundred to one thousands years tops. Yet the Hebrews have been around over four thousand years. They have for the most part lived within the framework of other civilizations and even though those civilizations declined into their nothingness the Hebrews did not, gee I wonder why that is?

You are 100% CORRECT my friend!!!
That prophecy cannot be denied no matter who they say wrote it.
Abraham was promised that his seed would be as impossible to number as the stars in the sky.
“At this time Abraham was chosen to be Father of many nations and circumcision of the flesh began. As God renamed Jacob to Israel he also renamed Abram to Abraham, which means Father of many nations.” Genesis 17: 1-14, 19
“That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. Genesis 22:17-18
Who can deny this?
Today in 2007, over half of the planet is Christian, Jew or Muslim, all considered Abrahamic religions. Jews and Muslims are literally a descendant of Abraham and Christians are “grafted in” and spiritually descendants of Abraham making him one of the most important figures in all of history.
Prophecy cannot be hoaxed. If it comes to pass it was NO HOAX!
Just think about it; God is doing all his work through one family.
Abraham –
-Issiac - Jesus - Christianity
-Ishmael – Muhammad – Islam
The only reason there is a throne and a Jerusalem, and Israel, and a Muslim confederacy against Israel, and technology to facilitate Armageddon is because God is doing his work.
One prophet was the real prophet and one was the false prophet, but both prophets are from the same family.
The rapture will happen and the Christians will be taken out of the way. The Jews and the rest of the world will quickly fold to Islam when the Anti-Christ shows up and brings his FALSE PROPHET back. The real Messiah then shows up and will “purify” the throne and alter that the Anti-Christ and the false prophet have defiled.
Read the first eight verses of Psalm 83, look at today’s headlines and read it again.
“Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.” Psalms 83:1-8
Look it up! These are all the same Arab descendants that are CONFEDERATE against Israel today. This has never happened in history and its happing BIG TIME right now!
Could the “hidden ones” be the two witnesses of Revelation???
Daniel should convince you for sure that the Lord is doing his work and that these are big time bible days right now.
"But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the TIME OF THE END: many shall run TO AND FRO, and KNOWLEDGE shall be increased." Dan 12:4
In plain English, the Angel was telling Daniel that the last days would be in the “INFORMATION AGE” and that men would be mobile.

No it doesn't. The power of suggestion is very strong. If the Old Testament had been lost and all this happened, then the Old Testament was found after the fact, then that would be impressive. However, that is not what happened. These are people who have an intimate knowledge of the Old Testament prophesies and have worked towards fulfillment. If I prophesy something and tell you, and you go out and do it, was it really prophesy fulfillment or was it the power of suggestion and your motivation to fulfill that suggestion?
As far as the prophesies of gloom and doom of the last days, I don't see anything happening that hasn't been happening throughout history.

So the Bible predicts world wars, hunger, earthquakes, loveless people, and diseases? Humans have had all of these since the Bible was written. It isn't predicting anything new.
