Default Is This Considered A Prophecy?

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...1;&version=31;

The LORD will dry up
the gulf of the Egyptian sea;
with a scorching wind he will sweep his hand
over the Euphrates River. [f]
He will break it up into seven streams
so that men can cross over in sandals.
Isaiah 11:15

is that a prophecy?

Did it happen?

It is to be understood astromythically, not historically as Holding's henchmen do.

Probably not. Do you have any verifiable, reliable, scientifically or historically valid extra-Biblical sources indicating that it did? Or that the apostles lived and died as you claim they did? Or that babies are born with a sense of body shame rather than learning it from their parents?

No no I am simply asking because to me this "seems" to be a prophecy but I don't recall the Euphrates being broken up into 7 "streams" where men can cross over.

Am I wrong or right?

I am just more thoroughly reading the Bible and noticing that many of the things Isaiah said in some books never happened.

So when something "seems" to be a prophecy and the contents did not come true, by your definition, it can not be a prophecy?

Yes it is a prophecy and no it has not happened yet. It will occur shortly before the battle of Armageddon.

Let me guess...

You know this because you invented it yourself? Or this is what you believe because a snake oil salesman of a preacher told you so? Or does it explicitly say so in the bible?

Usually, in these forae, you've been wrong. But you keep oisting the same arguments following the same false logic and then not actually responding to people ask you for source, proof or valid information.
