Just because some heretic pastors you listen to claim there is no such prophecy does not remove the fact that there indeed IS, many.

Zechariah 14, Matthew 23:39 , Revelation 11, Revelation 16.

All of these things require a jewish Jerusalem.

Stop embracing that preterism heresy and you'll understand it.

So Jesus lied to the people to whom he was speaking in Matthew 23:39?
You own argument defeats itself.

Here was actually speaking to Jerusalem (see previous 2 verses). A few days later, as he descended the Mt of Olives that's what the crowd welcomed him with (Luke 19:38). It's actually part of psalm 118 (verse 26), which pilgrims recited as they approached Jerusalem for the yearly feasts.

Note that there is hope for Israel. As we’ve learned, God doesn’t pronounce judgement without also extending an offer of grace. While Jesus would depart from them soon (He’d be crucified in about 48 hours) they would see Him again – but not until they say ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord’. These were the same words the people cheered when Jesus entered Jerusalem three days earlier. But those words were hollow. These same fickle people will call for His crucifixion in two days.

But one day Israel will, as a nation, truly acknowledge that Jesus is God’s messiah. Notice Jesus didn’t say “unless”, which is conditional. He said “until” which implies certainty. Jesus words tell us two things. First, that He will return. And second, that at that time Israel will turn to Him and be saved [Romans 11:26]

What are you talking about?

39 For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, s‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’ ”

The Jews will admit their error, and call to Jesus. This is an event that has YET TO HAPPEN.
 
And yet again you set the bar as one who denies anything other than your understanding :(

It's not credible that his disciples would call for him to be crucified.

And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; Saying, Blessed [be] the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples. Luke 19:37-39
 
It was sort of the same thing as the article you posted. The one implying it was allowed to happen to justify what is happening.

The article was about Israel and THE PALESTINIANS, the original indigenous people of the land and what is documented evidence that their was prior knowledge before the attack.

Terrible reasoning – do Christians not raise their children to be Chrisitan, or say at 5 years old do they say read all about the different religions and decide which one you want to follow?

Infidels someone who doesn’t believe in the religion – source please for ‘those who depart the faith’ risk murder?

al-taqiya – Sunni - this relates to denouncing your faith under duress. Shia – ive been informed that they are allowed to lie, usually to Sunni Muslims - not quite what you present.


The rest is just your interpretation / opinion – no source. I believe we had a very short exchange, you came across as really hating Muslims – but you stated that you don’t hate them – something like that.


Is this still valid? - 1 Samuel 15:3 - 3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”

Was it valid at the time?

109 – interesting - I will forward the first 3 to my colleagues and see their response – unless you want a response to a particular passage.
You seem to be having great difficulty following the conversation. Nobody is born a Christian. Islam teaches all are born Muslim. You lied and said I gave no sources, but I gave sources, the same one I gave when I first talked with you after greeting you when you joined and introduced yourself on a Jehovah's Witness thread. After being one of the very first people to welcome you, I was trying to help you sort out some of your wickedness in the form of ridiculous beliefs around Christianity, like asking if adultery is ok as long as you love the person, and also cautioning you against defending your anti-Christ beliefs to spare you the indignity of being banned. Some people call that type of helpful being hateful also, just as you do now. You were pro-Islam then and telling some of the same lies, and asking the same questions which I already answered. Telling the truth to your lies is not hate. People are so confused they think telling the truth about Islam is racism. Are you still as anti-Christ now as you were when you joined? A very short exchange to you in reality carried on over quite a few posts from one thread to another, from one month to the next and then the next and on into the following year. The same blasphemer of God was supporting you then, too. No surprises there. Ask your friends whatever you want. I don't care to respond to your lies further.

Nor was it thought of for Peter to deny him.....but it's happened. Nor Thomas to doubt but it happened.
They thought he would over throw Rome. Put a end to roman occupancy now that did not happen.
Jesus had many disciples but had 12 apostles.
 
The world CAN'T assemble against them IF THERE ISN'T AN ISRAEL!!
Anyone that follows Jesus is an Israelite

The things you said about end time events and prophesy are true but you are seeing everything through the.... LITERAL ISRAEL GLASSES.... this will change how you understand prophesy.

Like the Jews in Jesus's day...
They missed the King of Kings and son of David the Messiah because they were looking for a literal king and literal ruler to destroy Rome with force. Even John the Baptist didn't see the truth until just before he died.

By holding to the literal you will miss the Spiritual

Joh 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Rom 10:12-13
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
