Yup, you're right - hasn't happened yet - but funny coincidence that War is taking place at Babylon.

Right again, hasn't happened yet - but i guess you don't pay attention to current news. Haven't heard talk about Syria helping the Iraqs and fighting with Israel? There is fear that Israel or the U.S will end up fighting Syria, and destroy Damascus in the process.

Whats so unbelievable about that? This could refer to Revelation where "stars will fall from the heavens" and could very well evaporate the Nile. Who knows, just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it can't.

There will be. The Antichrist will usher in a time of false peace between Israel and her enemies ( Egypt, Iraq, Syria, and the rest of the middle east) - Assyria is present-day northern Iraq. Since Iraq didn't exist 2500 years ago, why would they write about a place that no one of the time would understand? Whereas, we understand it because we know that ancient Assyria, mentioned in the Bible - is modern day Iraq.

Oops, yes He is.

Actually, Mat 1:21-23:

Mat 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Mat 1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

Mat 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

And, now why can't they happen anymore?

So are you hinting that Bush is going to nuke Iraq ?

Another nuking event in the making ?

If the day a sun (a star is a sun unless you don't know anything about astronomy) will crash into the planet earth, the Nile will be evaporated long before the sun & our planet actually meets.

They do know what Assyria is though. A resurrection of the nation known as Assyria in their times could be likely as well. If 'Iraq' is used instead, then you have a case.

If you read those thingies properly, we are seeing two different persons. One named jesus to save people from sins & another named emmanuel borned of a virgin. I don't see any relations between these 2 persons.

So how long are you going to wait ? Until the Nile dried up because a stray sun comes too near the planet Earth ?

Did Adam know the difference between living and dying? Was there death in the garden?

And God revealed to him exactly what he needed to know.

Did God warn him about Satan, who might disguise himself as a talking serpent?

The rest of the stuff wasn't important until after the Fall when God began working to bring mankind back to himself.

I think that if the rest of the stuff had been included, there wouldn't have been a Fall.

"Adam, if you eat that fruit, or even if your woman feeds it to you, I'm going to give you innumerable laws, complex and contradictory, many going against science and common sense, and then I'm going to kill my own child for you, and then I'm going to torture billions of people in hell for all eternity!"

Eat the fruit? They'd probably have run screaming at the idea.
