As a Christian who believes in prophecy, I also realize that most have degrees of vagueness or a context which hinders them from being declared to be the fulfillment some claim.

Certain fulfillments include Isaiah 53, and suffering servant is not Israel as the alternative explanation asserts, while the prediction of a future ruler being born in Micah 5:2 also has a rather conspicuous fulfillment.

While many of the prophecies invoked as foretelling the birth of Israel also have largely unfulfilled aspects, the fact that the Bible foretells Israel existing and facing enemies is quite declaratory of its prophetic status.

I wonder how the U.N. feels about this, even though it has a future filfilment?

(Zec 12:3) “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”

The Zec 12:3 scripture you referenced seems to point to a pretrib rapture to me. Does it to you? I can’t see ‘all’ the people of the earth being gathered against Israel if Christians are still here.

Help! I lean towards pre wrath rapture but would really like to know the truth.
