Yep, it's
one of those sites
Some of what they have sounds "specific" enough to be interesting, but a lot of it sounds like stuff that has been going on before: I'll just have look at some.
Their #8
can't apply, since even jesus back then was taken to a mountaintop and "shown all the kingdoms of the world"! That, and I don't think australian aboriginies have cable yet...

The fact that God once flooded the earth (the Noahic Flood) would be denied (2 Peter 3:5-6). There is a mass of fossil evidence to prove this fact, yet it is flatly ignored by the scientific world because of its uncanny implication.

What a load of shit...They accuse US of "ignoring the evidence" and imply it's because of OUR immorality? That bible verse doesn't even talk about people who don't believe the "flood".
Here's where the evidence
REALLY IS! (under "Noah's Flood") That, and the fact that Morton regularly beat the YEC people on geology at TWEB...
What arrogant p***ks!

Doesn't quite match, since the bible verse quoted says:
Quote:
|
Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
|
When are people being "forbidding to marry"? And "commanding to abstain from meats"? As far as I know, vegetarianism is optional?
#19
Doesn't match, since the very verses that they use DO NOT say anything about "tracking the worlds' population and commerce". They just say you wouldn't be allowed to buy or sell. Shit, they could have done THAT in Roman times. Nothing is said about tracking what one has bought, or when...

The ancient city of Petra (Sela - the rock city) in Jordan would exist and become the refuge for the fleeing Jews during the Tribulation (Isaiah 16:1-4; Matthew 24:16; Revelation 12:6, 14).
In 1994, Jordan and Israel signed a peace treaty making Petra a potential refuge for fleeing Jews.
|
is more of a self-fulfilling prophecy: Not that it has come TRUE because they wanted it, but because of their yakking about it, they've ruined the chances of it being a refuge, because too many people have heard about it by now!

Russia (Magog) would rise as a military power and lead a surprise attack on Israel just prior to the final seven years of this age (Ezekiel 38). Today, most of the southern states of the former Soviet Union are both military powerhouses and Muslim.
|
Right, the bible "predicted" that Russia would rise, but it forgot to mention that the USSR would fall apart, with a demoralized military to such an extent that the Checheyns can give them grief.
#25
They quote Ezekial 38, forgetting the fact that at the very least, "Ethiopia" is in no shape to attack Isreal.
#27
"supernatural phenomena" in the sky? How can they even tell?
The links they give hear don't imply that?? I guess that anything unusual "has" to be supernatural? "god of the gaps" anyone?
Seriously. Does any of the stuff they list seem earth-shaking to you?
More like just stuff that has always happened, just keeps happening in the natural world and they make a big deal of it. Of course, the bible "predicted" our reaction as well!

Though Israel would be the focus of many fulfilled prophecies, most Jews would remain blind to the fact that Jesus is their Messiah until the very end (Luke 19:41-42; Luke 13:34-35; Romans 11:25-26).

How's about
http://www.jewsforjudaism.org for that? It's not blindness, as the xian religion claims, but they know the original context of the messianic prophecies, and haven't distorted their context to make it seem like their "messiah" has arrived when he hasn't.

The Euphrates River would be dried up (Revelation 16:12). Today, the massive Ataturk Dam in Turkey, completed in 1990, can hold back the Euphrates to a trickle.
|
And Isreal has missles to blow the dam up if that happened...

Asia (the kings from the east) would be capable of deploying a 200-million-man army during earth's final days (Revelation 9:14-16; 16:12). Bear in mind, in Jesus' day there were only an estimated 170 to 400 million people on the entire planet.
|
Bear in mind, that somehow all the asian countries would have to unite, AND that they'd have to feild this army at a point in "revelations" when most of those judgements have already fallen, you know, the ones about the scorching sun, water and oceans turning to blood, etc?
Good luck going on a march with that many people and keeping them fed and hydrated the whole way!

The nations would bud (Luke 21:29-33). In Scripture, the tree is often used figuratively of a nation (Ezekiel 31:3-6; Daniel 4:20-22). During the past century we have seen the end of the colonial era and the rapid growth in the number of newly formed independent nations.

Leaving out the splintering of countries like the former USSR, Czechoslovakia, Serbia, etc.

Earthquakes.
Gee, like THAT's never happened before! Never mind that it's only due to better recording equipment that the number of earthquakes seem to be "increasing".
#46
So, then are the same people who are "forbidden" to marry also not allowed to eat meat? Not in the catholocism I know of...hell, if they don't like the rules they can just leave.
#48
Increasingly rebellious youth.
I think an ancient greek named Socrates once complained of that, too.
They always have a bunch of links at the bottom of each "prophecy" for "further reading", though a LOT of those are to other xian sites.
Screw it, my attention span has dropped.
