LOL...I told you..you don’t understand...try reforming a democrat!! That is the only example I can give you although not a good one I guess.

More history..
The Temple in Jerusalem was originally built by Solomon. The Temple has been destroyed twice. The first destruction by Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and the rebuilding after 70 years is very well recorded in the Bible.
The second destruction was after all the Bible had been written, therefore it is not recorded there. But there is a very good record of it in the writings of Flavius Josephus.
*****

Well shoot...that is twice it has been destroyed..wonder what happens when it goes for 3 times only it is world-wide?
And it is just Religion in general while the believers WHO LISTENED are not in it.

Birth Pang #3????

The temple was destroyed in 70 AD; you’ll have a hard time finding a source to argue that Revelations or the gospel of John was written before that. In fact, the gospel of John actually explains why people had the notion which had proven false that Peter would live to see the second coming. You’ll also notice that the destruction of the Temple is written in the past tense. John is prophetically interpreting events his audience is familiar with, writing for their consolation and building of their faith in times of present adversity.

You can try to laugh through the complete destruction of your arguments all you want. I plainly see where you’re heading with your arguments, but I don’t agree with your conclusions because all of your premises are wrong.
