This should clear things up a little:

Ezekiel 40:1 (ASV) "In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day, the hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me thither." ( Nisan 10, 573 BC.)

Eze 40:2 "In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on the south."

Eze 40:3 "And he brought me thither; and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate."

Eze 40:4 "And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall show thee; for, to the intent that I may show them unto thee, art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel."

From the date when Ezekiel measured the visionary temple in Ezekiel 40 unto 1948 when Israel became a nation are 1260 years plus 1260 years, and the precise day at which this event occurred is explained in my earlier post.

Feel free to research it on Google. Direct me to anything you find that discredits this prophecy. I haven't found anything, and I've searched exhaustively.

From the date when Ezekiel measured the visionary temple in Ezekiel 40 unto 1948 when Israel became a nation again are 1260 plus 1260 years.

It happens that 1260 plus 1260 days is an important seven-year period in the bible, spoken of in Rev. 11-13 and elsewhere. (360 x 7 days.)

Essentially,

573 BC Nisan 10, plus 1260 years plus 1260 years
= AD 1948 Pentecost.

---Israel became a nation on Sivan 5th on the 360 calendar, but which was May 14 evening to May 15 evening in 1948.---

Basically, Ebonmuse, Israel becoming a nation in 1948 fulfilled such prophecies as Ezekiel 36 and 37.

1. Which Bible verses foretold the exact date that Israel became a nation? Please be specific.
2. If this was a prophecy, who recognized it as such before the nation was actually founded?

Would you care to explain the FACTUAL, FULFILLED Biblical prophecy of Israel becoming a nation on the very day it was foretold it would (on May 14, 1948, to be specific)? Mind you, this prophecy was 1,260 years old. Coincidence? I think not, friend.

What's that? You can't? What a shame.

It takes a pretty big leap of faith to just brush something so substantial off in such a 'skeptical', cynical manner, don't you think? Hmm?

For question 2, perhaps you can do more than simply claim that it makes sense? Perhaps you can explain how it makes sense?

For question 3, this is contradictory. god himself was telling them that he himself would not be telling them anything? In the Bible, it is unmistakeable that god intrudes upon the lives of the Israelites many times and makes himself shown many times. In those days, god was not exactly happy with them either, so it doesn't make sense to claim that god won't show up to us because he's unhappy with us now.

For question 4, perhaps you need to understand the question. In the Bible, Jesus clearly states that the world will end before the current generation is gone. This is a specific prophecy that did not come true. We are all still here. The destruction of the temple (written post temple destruction BTW) was a separate "prediction."

For your answer to question 5, what in the world are you talking about? How does that answer the question? We have very good neurological evidence to show that souls most likely do not exist. What have you to say about this evidence and why would you still believe a soul does exist?

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; (Exodus 20:5)

And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. (Exodus 20:6)

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. (Exodus 20:7)

Answer to Question2:
As a Christian, YES! it makes perfect sense, if you knew who GOD is

Answer to Question3:
Same answer Jesus gave to the Jews: (1 Corinthians 1:21-24)

A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed. (Matthew 16:4)

Answer to Question4:
You are referring to Jesus's prediction on the destruction of the Temple and the scattering of the Jews that happened in 70 A.D. That was a twofold prophecy. Jesus also mentioned about the Nation of Israel being reborn before the End of the World which only took place in 1948.

Answer to Question5:
Can you bring the 'soul' back to a dead man's body by doing this?
