>>>Sure Philip, but just this one time.<<<

I have found those "stingy" with their knowledge of the scripture generally have little of no knowledge of the scripture. They typically have to resort to links.

>>>Ten prophecies that surround the establishment of Israel:<<<

I looked at the link you provided, and the very first "sign" mentioned, Amos 9:14-15, was bogus: derived by spiritualizing the scriptures. This is the theme of Amos, chapter 9.

Chapter 9 is built upon the previous two chapters in which Amos wrote about a priest who was complaining to the king of Israel about Amos' prophecies against Israel. There was still a king of Israel at that time, Jeroboam II, who reigned until the 750 BC era. His reign was prior to Israel's captivity by Assyria. That same prophecy against Israel continues through chapter 8.

In chapter 9 Amos prophesies the upcoming punishment and captivity of Israel. But, Amos writes, at the end of it all, there will be:

1) the "sifting" of Israel from all the nations (the gathering of lost sheep by Jesus and disciples,) and

2) the raising of the tents of David (see Acts 15:14-17) which allows for the conversion of the Gentiles (with Cornelius being the first.)

Then, in verse 13, the scene reverts back to the days of Amos with the Lord promising to eventually bring Israel out of captivity and back into its own land.

The time period covered in those three chapters are from about 750 BC to (briefly) approximately 33 or 34 AD, and finally back again to the days of Amos. The return from captivity in 9:14-15 has absolutely nothing to do with anything modern, or even the days of Christ, except for 9:11-12 as aforementioned.

>>>From now on, you're on your own... <<<

LOL! Thanks, I appreciate that.

Philip
