So there's not some method that we can use to verify and check these things? What good are such "prophecies" then?

We have all the Holy Writings of the past. We can take out of them all the Prophecy given for the end of ages and list them.

Many of them will have a Material aspect, many will have a spiritual aspect.

We can then put a probability factor against that prophecy as to potentially how many people could claim or posssibly fulfill it.

We then can test any claim a man has about God against those Prophecies and do the sums.

This has been attempted by some. Books have been written, but more can be done.

And from what I have seen they all fail when properly analyzed. "Books written" is not very convincing. Books have been written about all sorts of nonsense from the Flat Earth on.

It would be a lifetime work to do it properly. I see people will do this.

In the end some need this proof. Others do not. But the proof it there.

All they have to find is one clear example.

Well a clear example of Prophecy would be in the Last days Mt Carmel will see the 'Glory of the Lord'. That the Message would come from someone who was in prison, would come from Elam in the East, that River, Mountains and seas would be crossed, that it would come via a Gate, also from the East.

Now if a person then claimed a Message and all that was applicable, how many people can say that happened?

Then add other prophecy.

That sounds like it fails the clarity test.

I am happy with that, I wish you only well and happy.

Peace be wih you. Regards Tony
Then you have no reasonable or reliable prophecies, at least you seem to be saying that. When I posted the limitations on prophecy was the time to complain, not long after you made a tacit acceptance of them.

It's just interpretation and more interpretation until it means whatever you want it to mean.

That's what I see.

Do you include Nostradamus in these experiments?

Lol, funny!

Except I did (regarding 1914), from world leaders to reputable historians.

"...much less 'dire' for humanity now..."

Yeah, right....just like the scoffers!

But I'm sure, you'll ignore this, too....it goes against your bias.
Evidence? If you’re referring to what you said in post #115, all you provided were peoples’ opinions. Perhaps you could explain how you consider said opinions evidence that end times have begun (or whatever the claim is). I don’t see it.

Honestly, I find it bizarre when people quote all this “scoffer” stuff from the Bible as if it could only come from the Divine or something, or that it makes any of the “prophecies” or any parts of the Bible, true – like it’s some trump card or something. It’s just a super easy way to say that people will doubt things that sound extraordinary or absurd. Of course they will. Do you really think that is some great revelation?


Great, let’s compare this to the doomsday clock from 500 years ago? Oh, it wasn’t invented yet? Okay then. Surely, you’ve got better evidence than that.

I bet if you talked to a Mayan about 800 years ago, they'd probably have some alarming things to say about the state of their world.

Sometime around 70,000-90,000 years ago, homo sapiens were down to a population of something like 10,000, probably as a result of widespread droughts and climate fluctuations. I wonder what they would say if you asked them if the end of the world was near? Or if dinosaurs could speak, what would they have said about the end of the world? It almost seems like it's subjective or something. ;)


Again, global statistics (provided by others in the thread) indicate that the world has been getting better and continues to improve over time, despite your personal opinions and desires for the contrary. Why do you ignore such statistics?

Yeah, their world. It wasn't global. Same could be said about Pompeiians in 79, or Javans in 1883. Lol.
You missed the whole point I made about scoffers.

Dont say it....Post them. I didn't read any, except dealing with earthquakes.

Yes, that is true. What's further true is that you could make claims like these pretty much at any time throughout human history. That's kind of the point.

How about the dinosaurs and homo sapiens?

Then please enlighten me.

They've been posted. Look back through the thread. They include big charts and graphs, if I remember correctly.
