Understood. However, surely you must realize that these two prophecies
are sufficiently nebulous to curtail their predictive value? I'm not trying
to sound petty, but to claim that Israel would return to its homeland at
some time to be named later isn't much of a prophecy, any more than
Nostradamus' alleged predictions about any number of vague far-future (for
him) events. Further, the claim that we would be travelling more and more
isn't too convincing, either, and can either be dismissed outright as
speculative or can be defused as a projection based on empirical, earthly
information. I don't know that an increase in knowledge is too stirring, either.
I appreciate your taking the time to respond, but I hope you can recognize
that someone not already convinced of a prophesy's predictive value would
not be convinced by these two (or, as far as I'm aware) any examples in
modern times.
Dave!
