PROPHESY

Jesus prophesied, that the Temple in Jerusalem would fall and “that no stone will be left upon one another.” His prediction became historical fact in the year 70 AD, when the Romans legions captured Jerusalem and burned and looted the Holy City. All temple-attributes were brought to Rome and the Temple disappeared from history, never to be rebuild. This is the start of a period of supression and persecution, that ended in the “diaspora”, when they were driven out of Palestine and wandered the world.

Experts say, that the Bible is 30% prophesy! Prophets play an important role in the Old Testament, especially to remind the Jews of their religious practises, when they deviated from the right path. This often happened. People were attracted to an effective and practical deity and the Kaananites and Philistines had a lot to offer. False prophets were stoned in those days, true ones were adored. According to Bible scolars, about 85 to 90% of the prophesies are fulfilled, the other 10% are on the way.

Many prophesies are made about the coming of the Messiah and about thirty were fulfilled in his last days. It was prophesied, that the Messiah would be betrayed by a friend, who received 30 pieces of silver for it. It was also prohesied, that this friend would hang himself. Remarkable details, as was the prophesy in the Old Testament, that Jesus would be born in Bethlemen and ride into Jerusalem on a donkey's back. Does this mean, that the prophesies are true? No, hey can also be made to happen and to made to come true.

Jesus was asked about the sings of the end of days. Jesus answered, that it would be in a time “of war and rumors of war”, earthquakes and famine. Many think, that we are living “in the End of Times” and the last Bible-prohesies are going to be fulfilled. We find them, mainly in “Revalation”, written by John on the island of Patmos, around 100 AD. John wrote his book on devine inspiration and according to “believers” should be taken very seriously. “Revelation” describes the last years of mankind, when devestation after devestation hit mankind, killing sometimes 1/3 of Earth's population.

One prophesy, that surely has come true, is the return of the Jews to the Holy Land and the birth of Israel in 1948. After a period of suppresion, ending in the genocide of WW2, the Jews finally had an independent state. The suffering of the Jews in the period in between, was prophesied as well.

John, who wrote down his hallucinations, due to mushrooms or volcanic gaz, so reaching into another reality. Not all of John's prophesies point on this reality, but to a reality we ignore. This makes us very vulnerable in this apocalyptic days. A prohesy of John is located near the ancient town of Megiddo in the Near-East. Here the final battle between good and evil will take place. Millions of soldiers will gather here, trying to crash the forces of Light. This is the battle of Armageddon, in which Jesus triumphs and a new Jerusalem will appear from the sky. The last probably being an intergalactic spacecraft or so it seems to be.

Remember, prophesies can be made to come true. The players on the geo-political theatre are, like in a game of Risk, positioning their armys in and around Israel. At the moment 40 to 50 different armed forces are active in the region. Syria and Lebanon are in flames and Israel feels threatened. So much, that an air-strike on Iran is possible and according to others propable in the nearby future. The Street of Hormus is a potential hotspot too. And what if a (Iranian) rocket lands on the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. What will happen then?
