seriously? you are going to quote the bible as evidence???
Better than crackpots like Harold Camping or a tribe of ancient dart blowers in south America could come up with. Prophecy wise, it's the only book that was 100% accurate so far...it's just been mis-interpreted over the years.

If you're out of the loop, then you don't understand...and you just envy the possibilities inside the circle. Back to topic though, your post is a red herring for the topic matter anyway.Funny how you are so quick to take action against such an old, fake, fairy tale book there Andy, I guess if it didn't have any power in what it said you wouldn't be so hostile to it lol.
And it's previous version (obviously edited after...the end of the world *didn't* happen).
I don't know the ins and outs of the establishment of a nation and whether or not "In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, on that same day..." means May 14, 1948 at midnight, taking into account time zones, different lengths of Jewish calendar years and modern-day calendar years and such. I'm sure it can be interpreted that way. But what can't?
I know no one knows the exact date(s) the Bible was written and whether the things they refer to with dates (which is incredibly few and far between) were the actual dates.
I also know that there are a LOT of things proven fundamentally factually incorrect by science:
I mean that's not even getting into the fact that nowhere outside of the Bible has it ever been documented that Jews were slaves of Egyptians nor has any - and I mean ANY - evidence of however many million Jews (the numbers vary from about 2 million to maybe 6) wandering around in the desert for 40 years or that Adam supposedly lived for something like 400 years or...
Believe in God, just don't believe in one of the most flawed texts in history.

I think that on a societal level, we cannot continue on our present course. Most of humanity has devolved into a bunch of pompus, selfish fucks.

Yes, the world is scewed up with greedy people controlling us as puppets on a string including politicians, religion, our social system, the school system and corporations. However, if it is the end of the world on that day (12/21/12) I would like to be with as many white women wrinkled soles as possible. Because, White Wome wrinkled soles is my GOD.

BFO, I would add "stupid" in there, too. And "short-sighted".
I would argue that selfishness is woven indelibly into our nature, though. We can't wholly escape it while we're alive.

^ the short-sighted part gets me most of all, I mean bypassing all the stuff about global warming and all that, a world run on something that will eventually run out is a scary thought...

You obviously can't see that some of those links are metaphores and were MEANT to be taken as such.. the Israel thing is plain and clear in it's mathmatical accuracy. Like I said, you wouldn't go out of your way to try to "disprove" something you can't disprove if it didn't hold water...only strengthens it's accuracy. Harold Camping obviously doesn't read the Bible, the link is just nonsense...but it gives you talking points which you TOTALLY take out of context...that is laughable. I could do better pointing out atheistic viewpoints.

It's nonsense because you don't like how accurate it is, look..we're not predicting the end of the world here literally since no man knows the hour...it did give us warning signs. Those who are penitant and don't give dire predictions will be those who have credibility. Afterall, you're the one posting the red herrings {as usual} it's about "prophecy", and the thread doesn't even concern you since you don't believe in anything religious concerning anyway.
