The Incredible odds of fulfilled bible prophecy

And my country, Scotland, "accepted the overlordship" of England 305 years ago, and we are still in a "united kingdom" along with England, Wales and part of Ireland; but I think it can be said that the place still exists. Nor is it merely a bare rock covered with fishing nets, although we do plenty of fishing.

...and some really classic (and classy graphics) that often made me LOL.What good times we've had, despite the whole thing being kind of pointless.
Ho, ho, ho - so now being occupied is equal to being swept from the face of the earth? Interesting theories you develop in the course of trying to squirm away from reality.
We're sneaky.
DOC, your
is an irrefutable proof that Jerusalem doesn't exist. Particularly as it was completely destroyed by the Romans all over again in 70 AD and a Roman city called Aelia Capitolina was constructed on the site. Jews weren't even allowed to live there!

Except that the prophecy said that Tyre would be completely destroyed and abandoned forever, which didn't happen.
Perhaps instead of redefining what the prophecy meant why don't you just admit that the prophecy failed? We know that you can (sort of) admit that prophecies in the Bible have failed so why not admit that this one did instead of making up crap to try and "justify" it?
So Israel wasn't re-founded by the Maccabees in 140BCE?
Seriously, this last excuse, that a city or nation which has been occupied by a foreign power ceases to exist, has to be some kind of joke?
In DOC's world, Japan is a bare rock, a place to spread nets, a place which has been "built no more". This probably comes as quite a surprise to a nation of 127 million people.
Honestly DOC, is that really what you meant to say?

Hmm . . .
This is a dilemma!
On the one hand, this prophecy about Jerusalem:
Isaiah 52:1
. . . for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
makes a lot more sense in the light of Israel's non-existence.
However, this piece of evidence* presents something of a paradox:
Israel not existing would certainly explain the missing body of not-Zombie Jesus, but it kind of means we need to find a different setting for most of the New Testament.
I'm sure I'm getting close to some kind of Unified Theory on all this. Stay tuned.

Thank you Aberhaten. I am fond of The Heidelberg Uncertainty Principle for so many reasons.
And I look forward to your Unified Theory on Everything, which explains why a nonexistent body is proof that Jesus existed, and the existense of Tyre is proof that it was destroyed. I'm all agog! And Magog as well!

That's what you get for fencing with cats.
He's just moving the goalposts in a feeble attempt to "prove" that the prophecies came true.
I'm sure he'll come up with some other bollocks that will somehow "prove" that it came true. I'm guessing it'll be that because Tyre was rebuilt and was under the nominal control of the Babylonians it means the prophecy came true.

Nope.
Think of it as practising in the nets for the day when you might have to face up against a real apologist.
