The author predicts a war against Israel in the near future. What do you think about that?
As per the author, he has predicted this according to the God's words regarding the 'end times', and also he suggests a time that this will happen, in the year 2133. What do you think about this prediction, considering that it is supposed to happen in the future which is not so far? How much chance is there for this to be true? Is it really backed either by biblical teachings or current political state of the world?

I have to agree with you for a certain extent. It is true that the pattern of biblical history being repeated is applicable here and also the world is in a war-like situation. But there are ways and means that were created soon after the second world war to prevent another world-scale war, and seemingly they have been successful for more than half a decade. So with such political measures, is it possible for such a large scale war to occur? I don't think soVernaVi wrote: ↑01 Mar 2021, 23:47 I believe that the prophecies regarding a war on Israel will happen.

I would hope against another world war. However, the prophecies regarding war on Israel seem clear and undeniable. And a world scale at that point would be unavoidable because of the current political climate.Sushan wrote: ↑02 Mar 2021, 00:30I have to agree with you for a certain extent.

Still it is a speculation based on the biblical prophecies. What I see in these religious prophecies is that someone interprets the things already happened are foretold in these prophecies, but because they were told in different words ordinary people could not understand it before. And for the ones regarding the future they give similar interpretations as well. If those things does not occur as predicted, then they have various reasons for that too.VernaVi wrote: ↑02 Mar 2021, 01:57I would hope against another world war.

That is why I believe more in speculations that are based on more logical subjects such as politand international relationships, rather than prophecies.

I agree. There are continous conflicts going against Israel. But this is not towards them only, but against many other countries by various powerful nations.Sam Lauren wrote: ↑02 Mar 2021, 06:46 Unfortunately, I could see war with Israel happening. War seems to be the one thing the human race hasn't grown out of. It's too bad the Bible didn't mean a metaphorical war.
What this author suggests is a massive war in the scale of a world war to grab the scientific achievements that Israel has achieved. But with the peace keeping mechanisms at the international level, I think such a thing is quite impossible

Things are happening there that indicate that war will happen we just don't know when. Particularly as the Western world supports Israel and the Moslem world hates them. I do believe the predictions of the author are well documented and follow what the Bible tells us. Though the Western world will be involved, I think the trigger will be between Israel and the rest of the Middle East.

What I see is that, Israel is at the end of hatred by other muslim countries because of the American favouration to them. They have collected Jews and formed a country, and also continues to support them in various ways. In return, Israel is supporting America for its world domination process (though the Americans don't speak of such a thing publicly, it is happening). So with that, the Muslim countries may think to declare war against them. But with America backing Israel, I don't think they will actually go into war. So this author's predictions may not happen just because it is said in the bibleCrcraig wrote: ↑03 Mar 2021, 08:20 Yes, a war involving Israel will happen. I talk with a woman from Middle East weekly. The perspective of the Moslem world is not reported well in the US.

1. I don't predict the war- the Biblical sources do.
I hope I've shown that the pattern of history repeats and the pattern contains a war.
2. The actual narrated story of what happens, is the only fictional part of the book. I hesitated to do this, but the main feedback I got on my book on the End of Days (on which this book is based) was that the reader could not envision what would happen from all the data in the prophecies. the readers suggested that I should create a scenario: not as prediction but as a visualization of how the biblical prophecies could happen. I was at a loss of how to do this. Then one day I read the latest UN report on climate change (I work in this field now) which predicted what would happen in 2030 and beyond in various countries and I had a déjà vu- I had seen this before. it took a few weeks to realize it was in the predictions of the End of Days in the Talmud. So I built the scenario for the war around the pressures from climate change in that region of the world. But this is fiction.

You have to remember that before the second world war there was a first. We are humans. Those political measures were put in place by humans. There'd still be a way around it. Also, the accuracy of the Bible can be really frightening. If it says there'd be a war, then my bet is that there'd definitely be one.Sushan wrote: ↑02 Mar 2021, 00:30I have to agree with you for a certain extent.

After the first world war, the political leaders tried to have some treaties, but their failure led the world to another world war. But after that they got together once again and got into another treaty, which prevented a world scale for from happening for the past 5-6 decades, though several times the world was at the brink of a war. So, I don't see why another war should occur just because it is predicted in the holy bible.Jennifer Aldo wrote: ↑03 Mar 2021, 23:41You have to remember that before the second world war there was a first.

Can such an ancient book predict all the socio-political situations of today's world and accurately guess what might happen? On the other hand, has the bible predicted the first and second world wars?

Thank you very much for joining in this discussion. It is a rare chance for us to directly discuss about a book with its author.friedmanndaniel wrote: ↑03 Mar 2021, 21:09 Thank you for your thoughts. To clarify couple of things:

I agree. It is a prediction which comes in the bible. Or something that you saw after analysing the biblical content and other scriptures. And I understand that what is included in the book is a fictional story.
Yet, the chosen country is Israel because it is the mainly involved country in religious issues related to Christianity. And the rest of the details are fictional, yet has some basis with regard to what you found in your studys.
In the current world, can we merely expect things to happen because they were predicted in the bible? What about the other socio-political factors that come into play in such matters?

There have been various geographical and political reasons for Israel to face with the rivalry from neighbouring countries. As far as I see, they are at the point of hatred of the fellow Muslim countries because of their relationship with the US. Has these prophecies mentioned any concern about that? Or is this inevitable war is about to happen because some Israel leader is going to be the true, promised Messiah?Reviewer100 wrote: ↑04 Mar 2021, 04:58 There are many biblical prophesies concerning Isreal and the external forces that seek dominance over it. If the Bible is well consulted, it will reveal that this prophesy is quite accurate, as Israel has endured so much rivalry from neighboring nations.
