I quoted Daniel 12:10b..... only the wise leaders will understand.
The context is Daniel 12:8.....The Words are to be kept secret until the time of the end.
The words are unpacked in Revelation for anyone who bothers to understand Apocalyptic Symbolism.
Your fever dreams of 2010 mislead you about 2012 and the AOD in 2026.
Why should we believe anything you say?
Also, your rejection of a viable explanation of Zechariah 5,
NOTHING you say about the OT is 'viable' as you rip everything out of context and make it about now.
Remember - most of the OT prophecies are about THEIR times and THEIR concerns, not ours.
They build and build on this idea of the judgement in the Day of the Lord - as the Assyrians ride in to Israel, as the Babylonians ride into Judah, and as the Persians later ride across the entire Middle East - and grant Israel the right to return home. Prophecy fulfilled! And yet... there are a few passages that refer to more to come.
Most of them are fulfilled in Jesus gospel events in eschatological tension.
without any sensible alternative, is unreasonable and shows extreme bias, as well as just ignoring the present realty of the Middle East situation.
Oh, right?
That conflict that you said "will not fizzle out." On and on you went - and that was one of your SHORTER posts!
What that will be, is told to us in the Prophetic Word:
Bible prophecy informs us of what will happen when a combined force of the neighbouring countries attack. The Lord Himself will destroy them, as per Psalm 83 and
Deuteronomy 32:22 &
34-35 - by a judgement of fire. “A fire set ablaze by My anger, on the Day of punishment and vengeance, at the moment My enemies make a mistake; their doom is fast approaching”.
But rather than your futurist goggles on current affairs having all the Muslim countries join a coalition to fight Israel - guess what happened? Your futurist filters fluffed these affairs! There's a ceasefire. It DID 'fizzle out'. I'm not saying there's a lasting peace in the Middle East. I'm saying that THIS war DID fizzle out. You said it would not! You got all dogmatic, and did declareth -
"What that will be, is told to us in the Prophetic Word:"
Except - wrong again. Fizzle. Oh - and rather than "combined force of the neighbouring countries attacking" - it is
Militant Zionism that mainly continues the carnage - even in this 'peace.'
So now you have made false claims about 2012, how Gaza will not fizzle, AND the AOD 2026.
I hoped by now you would have learned?
As the FIRST comment on your
Gaza thread of 2023 said:
And here we go again, another event happened, another "this is it" of futurism.
I think people should pay real money for every prophetical prediction they make. If it fails, the money will be given to charity. If it happens, the money will be returned.
Your success rate, so far, is zero. Its like saying "recession will come this year" every year until it happens, and then saying "I told you".
There is no need to repeat the stories and images coming from the Jewish State of Israel, under attack from Hamas, a militant Islamic organization and a known Iranian proxy. This war will not fizzle out, there has to be a final outcome. What that will be, is told to us in the Prophetic Word...

What do I predict for 2026?
I predict that unless the Lord returns before then (which he could, because there's nothing theologically required to happen since the gospel reached Rome aka "all nations" nearly 2000 years ago) - I predict that futurists will continue to misread the prophets, misread theology, and misread current affairs.
They will see their patterns, make their declarations, and utterly embarrass the Lord with their false predictions.
Some of them will even be more excited about their pet-theories about the anti-Christ, and will tell non-Christians more about the anti-Christ than they will about Jesus!
That's what I predict.
And given the above examples of how futurism fluffs thinking, I'm pretty sure I'll be proved right.
Unless the Lord returns in the next 5 seconds.
Which he could.
