So far you're batting 0 for heaven knows how many tries in attempting to make a convincing argument that what you state as fact is, indeed, completely without error and absolutely perfect.
You can make no case whatsoever that you have studied the person and life of this Rabbi to the point that you know absolutely and with no doubt whatsoever that he had no inspiration from God and that God had nothing to do with this prophecy.
You take a prophecy made by a Rabbi, who may or may not have been led by God, in the 13th century which came to pass, and try to cast dispersions on the man based on no real information about him. Here is what God said about the issue in Deuteronomy 18:22:
When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him.
Now the Rabbi made a prophecy which did happen. Does that mean he was inspired by God to make this prophecy? Based on the Bible verse above someone could be forgiven for thinking God just might have been involved. Yet nobody knows for sure, one way or the other. And, I might add, the prophecy made by the Rabbi strangely ends in the year 2017, which has been popping up alot lately in alot of prophecy studies done by alot of people.
I personally am not prepared to consider myself so omnipresent that I can say with any certainty whatsoever that a prophecy made by a Rabbi, not an Imam, not a Shaman, not a physic, but a Rabbi, did not involve God in any way, shape, or form.
My advice to you is to realize your limitations as a physical human being, who exists in a particular time, who can only know anything based on the limited information you have available.
That's all any of us know. And by the way, nobody has set a date for the Rapture- not the person who wrote the article, not the Rabbi who made the prophecy, and not anyone who has responded to the thread.
... attempting to make a convincing argument that what you state as fact is, indeed, completely without error and absolutely perfect.
I think you got the wrong message... then... It's the Bible, the Word of God, those 66 books written from those 40 authors that God chose to put down His words -- that is inerrant and infallible...
It's what everyone else is saying, that is opinions and guesses... I'll stick to the inerrant word. But, you're free to choose the guesses and prognoticators for your "Word of God" if you want...
As for me, if anyone is going around saying that they are giving prophecy from God, I'll just recommend the demon be cast out, instead... LOL...
