An interesting question: what do people think of the Bible’s prophecy that Israel would be reestablished? In the entire history of mankind no other nation has been completely destroyed and spread throughout the world and then showed back up again. What verse are you thinking of? Seems to me that already happened. It already happened. They can be found in Isaiah 11:12, Jeremiah 30:1-38:22, Romans 11, and a few others. It’s things like that being correctly prophesied that make me wonder why people doubt the Bible. No other book in the world has ever come close to being that accurate in the past or, for then, future events.

I'd say that most of the translations, will get the job done; with the exception of "interpertations/translations" done by particular sects that introduce their bias (wacky) beliefs.
However, the most accurate manuscripts are the oldest ones, preferably in their original languages, such as Hebrew, Greek, or Aramaic. Problem is, you first need to learn those languages to read them. Therefore, most of us settle for second best.

Who cares about any of this. You either believe or don't. I believe in a mud creek bank a cold beer and a pretty young woman that hasn't figured out I wear a touppee Some of us have inquiring minds that rarely quit asking questions...I can never decide if it's a good thing or not.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

I've wondered if the anti christ is just one person or a personification symbolic of the anti christ presence that is always present in the world. I think Nero was one of the first anti Christ's.

Im confused. Ecclesiastes 1:4 says the earth will be here forever.

One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. Context, Ecclesiastes is not a book of prophecy, it is a book of wisdom. As such it is not laying out a theological or eschatological framework instead it is describing the learned wisdom of the "preacher in Jerusalem", aka Solomon. In this context Solomon is an old man approaching his own mortal end of life reflecting upon his own life of the pursuit of wisdom and he concludes thusly; vanities of vanities there is nothing new under the sun and the sum of all wisdom is the fear of God. In the case of the earth in this passage and the troubles of our time on earth, the earth was here long before and will be here long after we are but a footnote in history. BTW, Ecclesiastes is my favorite book of the Bible.

Nero was anti Christ, but he was not THE Anti-Christ. The Bible says that when he is revealed the whole world will know. Chapter and verse? Everyone in the known world at the time was subject to Romes power weren't they?

Husky What future prophesy or prophecies do you believe have yet to be fulfilled? Things such as the coming of the Anti-Christ, the Second Coming of Christ, and the eventual destruction of the earth. Sorry for the slow response Husky, I also believe the second coming of Christ is a future fulfillment. Along with the earth as we know it ending. My understanding of Antichrist is not of any one person. But as spoken of in John's epistles, denying the sovereignty of Christ with the Father. Any one who denies Jesus is the Christ is antichrist. Wich includes Islam, and Jews along with the Gentile world that deny the resurrection. I also believe in a future spiritual Jerusalem, in conjunction with the final throne judgment. This heavenly Jerusalem with 12 foundations and 12 gates representing the fullness of the Gentiles. Wich have been grafted in. The fulness of God's work.

Nero was anti Christ, but he was not THE Anti-Christ. The Bible says that when he is revealed the whole world will know. Let me help you on chapter and verse. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2025/06/full-49774-260051-20250608_213822_resized.jpg) 2 Thessalonians 2:3-7 Speaking of the son of perdition. Many of the church fathers believe this was the papacy. As did the reformers. It wasn't until the 16th century that idea of this being a singular person came about. A Jesuit named Francisco Riveara or somthing like that came up with the idea af a singular Anti-Christ. Anti-Christ in the bible only appears in the 1sr and 2nd epistles of John. Not in prophetic books. It's a generic term for non believers.
