Given the Armageddon comments, I honestly think the plan is to shove all the Jewish people into Israel, and then nuke it, Mecca, and Medina.

Since when? They didn’t when the war started, and cigarette boats don’t really count as a Navy

Just like Indiana, PA.

Same people that deny that the US invented concentration camps to deal with the natives

The only song about crystal meth to make it into a Disney film.

Apparently when I was two or three years old, I insisted the lyric was “If you’re gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a parallelogram.”

Also started The Baha’is who don’t seem to be disappointed at all.

I’m certain it wasn’t in the apocrypha that’s a separate book at least at the school I went to. I am certain it was Old Testament, and not New Testament. Other than that, I’m pretty sure it was one of the books that got separated into parts I and II, but I couldn’t tell you if it was the first or second part.

I got turned onto that particular passage by a Baha’i I was talking to outside of the school, now that I think about it. They used it as proof that Christ had already returned and the Christians missed it as hard as the Jews missed their Messiah.

Don’t you mean Caesarion? He’s not been installed on the throne yet

Could be, I dunno. I’m not Christian, but my parents sent me to Catholic school because it had better rates of higher education among its graduates than the local public school. The Catholics took me not being a Christian personally and only let me read the Bible. So I read it, and started confronting priests and religion teachers with questions they couldn’t answer because I’m an obstinate little shit like that.

The verse I am referring to is in numbers it gives the last great census of Jerusalem as the starting year. It says x number of years would pass before the firmament was restored, referring to the Messiah, y number of years before the firmament would be shattered, referring to his death, and z number of years before the glory of God would appear.

We know when that census occured. When you do the math those years are 5BCE, 27CE, and 1844CE.

The main reason is that it is really obscure. I’ll see if I can find it.

Edit: yeah, I’m not finding it. It basically says that from the time of the last great census of Jerusalem there would be a certain number of days (days mean years in this part of Numbers.) until the firmament was restored, referring to the Messiah, another number of days before it would be shattered, referring to his death, and a third number of days before the glory of God would appear. When you do the math, those years become 5BCE, 27CE, and 1844CE

I’m referring to a specific timeline set out in numbers that most Christians totally ignore, especially apocalyptic Christians.

The Jehovah’s witnesses were set up specifically because of this prophecy, and even they decided he was late by the end of the 1800s

It’s somewhere in Numbers. There’s a prophecy that refers to the last great census of Jerusalem. It refers to time in days, but had previously mentioned that days in this context refer to years. There would be a certain number of years before the Messiah would appear, though they use a flowery title to refer to him, and another number of years before he would be struck down. It then goes on to say that he would return after X number of years. If you do the math, those years come out to 5BC, 27CE, and 1844CE.

While that’s true, it did give a year. We’re just over 180 years past that particular year.

Yep. I was thinking of bondage

I hate to have to ask, but can we get an actual source for this? It sounds like it would be extremely important info to verify.

Not when we (The US) have 1200-6500
