The Incredible odds of fulfilled bible prophecy

I make a prophecy right here on this thread that anything that's written in the bible can all be proved to be myth historiciced. Both new and old testaments.

Oh, it's not pointless. At least one of the megachurch pastors where I live has a corporate plane. You can generate a lot of money from fleecing the faithful, so it's obviously an advantage to pack as many of 'em in as possible.

From Wiki

Following the pacification of Tyre, Nebuchadnezzar turned again to Egypt. A clay tablet,[7] now in the British Museum, states: "In the 37th year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of the country of Babylon, he went to Mitzraim (Egypt) to wage war. Amasis, king of Egypt, collected [his army], and marched and spread abroad." Having completed the subjugation of Phoenicia, and a campaign against Egypt, Nebuchadnezzar set himself to rebuild and adorn the city of Babylon, and constructed canals, aqueducts, temples and reservoirs.

Tim, I notice you don't often give sources in your posts.

Sad, ain't it? I heard of a church so big here in Louisville that it can fit a million people in it. The more reasonable sized churches in Georgia cost around two million dollars to build so I can't even fathom how much that church cost to build. That was some serious fleecing that went into it, not to mention the other crazy large ones.

Very well, here's one of my sources. Nebuchadreazzar's attack on Egypt was met at the border. He did not invade or devastate Egypt as Ezekiel predicted he would. As to the "pacification" of Tyre, it amounted to a protracted siege against the island city, resulting in Tyre coming to terms with the Chaldean Empire. Nebuchadrezzar never did break into the city and destroy it as Ezekiel predicted he would.

Lie.

Also, DOC, go here for a history of Asshurbanipul's dealings with Egypt. You might also look up Ancient Near Eastern Texts, edited by Pritchard, a compilation of the best translations of preserved documents from the ancient Near East.

One of the reasons I will often go out of my way to read TimCallahan's posts is because he usually does give reasoning and/or sources for his claims.
 
Hey DOC, here's a British Museum site, showing a translation of the Cyrus Cylinder. In it you can read that Cyrus says Babylon surrendered to him without a fight, though the prophets* said the Medes and Persians would destroy the city. Here is line 17 from the Cyrus Cylinder(bracketed material added for clarification):

He [the god Marduk] had him [Cyrus] enter without fighting or battle right into Shuanna; he saved his city Babylon from hardship. He [Marduk] handed over to him [Cyrus] Nabonidus, the king who did not fear him.

*ETA: To be more specific, the prophets I refer to here are Isaiah and Jeremiah. The passages are Is. 13:15 - 18, which predicts the fall of Babylon, saying the people will be run through and fall by the sword; that their infants will be dashed in pieces before their eyes and their wives ravished. All this will be done by the Medes; while Jer. 51:11 says that God is stirring up the kings of the Medes and Persians against Babylon, for his purpose is to destroy it.

It's not a lie.
I am sure he actually didn't notice the references.
Afterall, that would require fully READING and Comprehending TimCallahan's posts.


It would also require an understanding of what the little "underline" means in the complex world of hypertext.

I thought the same thing myself.

Yep, I think DOC may miss these things. Perhaps people could make it a little clearer, after all, not everybody has been surfing since the banner tag was teh schizzle.
 
DOC said:
Which post, I don't remember that, and if I did read some of it, it wasn't more than 2 pages.

Which two pages?

This is a typical DOC tactic. Making vague references to which pages of a book he's read but not including the specific page numbers. How are we supposed to address the claim if we don't know which pages he's referring to?

Pink Flag!!!

Try again.

Next time, make sure you include the section that mentions the invasion.

Matty 13:13

Therefore I speak to them in paraphrase: because they seeing the text see not the hyperlinks.​

Thank you, O Pharaoh.

One more thing, DOC: You said "Whoever these fundamental apologists are, I see nothing like that in Nuhum. Nahum 2:6."

One of these fundamentalist apologists is Josh McDowell in chapters 4 and 11 of his book, Evidence that Demands a Verdict.

Priceless.

From DOC's own wiki source:
Amasis was able to defeat an invasion of Egypt by the Babylonians under Nebuchadrezzar II; henceforth, the Babylonians experienced sufficient difficulties controlling their empire that they were forced to abandon future attacks against Amasis.[10]

What is your source that the attack was met at the border and he did not invade Egypt?

The underlined word, "here's", in Tim's post above is a hyperlink. If you click on it you'll be taken to a Wikipedia article that you yourself linked to earlier. That article contains this information about Pharaoh Amasis which Pakeha has already posted above:


In his fourth year (c.567 B.C.E.), Amasis was able to defeat an invasion of Egypt by the Babylonians under Nebuchadrezzar II; henceforth, the Babylonians experienced sufficient difficulties controlling their empire that they were forced to abandon future attacks against Amasis.
