Prophecies
They were written before by people who had the intel from other, including enemy nations of what’s going to happen. They also knew the science of the day, which included spirituality (diseases were known to be spread by contact, they couldn’t understand why such a positive world would make it so horrible}. They knew the land was drying by the receding of the deserts; drying of aquifers.
They knew the weather would change because they had historical scientific records. They just also knew no one believed them at the time.
“Interestingly enough, the section that makes the claim is not able to present even one verse that specifically makes a prophecy about restoring the Jews to their homeland (such verses do exist), but rather a series of verses that simply state that if they don’t fall in line, then God will scatter them. To be honest, I think you would be extremely hard pressed to find any nation state from that time that has not seen their descendants scattered across the earth.”
This shows that they were man-made by teams of people so eloquently.
Ezekiel 26:1-7
A Prophecy Against Tyre
26 In the eleventh month of the twelfth[a] year, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, because Tyre has said of Jerusalem, ‘Aha! The gate to the nations is broken, and its doors have swung open to me; now that she lies in ruins I will prosper,’ therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Tyre, and I will bring many nations against you, like the sea casting up its waves.They will destroy the walls of Tyre and pull down her towers; I will scrape away her rubble and make her a bare rock. Out in the sea she will become a place to spread fishnets, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord. She will become plunder for the nations, and her settlements on the mainland will be ravaged by the sword. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
See according to the Babylonians at the time Tyre would be no more. They released the story…
“Here God explicitly states that Nebuchadnezzar would completely sack and destroy the city of Tyre and that Tyre’s land would never be built upon again. However, this never occurred. After a 13-year siege, Tyre compromised with Nebuchadnezzar and accepted his authority without being destroyed. Despite being conquered and razed by Alexander the Great 240 years later, Tyre still exists.”
And had to change it but couldn’t.
“These “prophets” were also frequently so vague in the predictions they made that you could mold them into about any historical event you wanted.”
For many prophecies they just wrote it in after the fact as fulfilled.
