[QUOTE="surfari, post: 2184795, member: 646402"] Ezekiel 4:4-8. Ezekiel is commanded by God to lie on one side for 390 and the other side for 40 days. Each day represented a year that Israel would be punished for their sins, a total of 430 years. We know that 70 years were accomplished under Babylon, leaving 360 to go. We know that Israel was smashed again. Yet, history records no regathering after the 360 remaining years had elapsed! What happened? Did the prophecy fail? Absolutely not. We find in Leviticus 26 that if they remain unrepentant, God will multiply his judgements 7 times. So if we multiply the remaining 360 x 7 and convert to our modern calendar, we find that it comes to 1948. Israel was reborn as a nation in 1948. God began to gather the Jews out of all lands from which he scattered them. For a fuller explanation please go here - http://www.hebroots.org/hebrootsarchive/9808/9808_m.html What do you think? Does this rescue Ezekiels prophecy from failure? Is there another way it could be understood? Are there any errors in the calculation? (please see the link provided for the full working out). Are any of the dates wrong? Can we confirm them all from history? Please keep on topic, avoiding tu quo que and ad hominem attacks. Please read and understand the link posted and do not argue from ignorance based on my summary. Final question. Is this a stronger argument than that put forward by the Watchtower for 1914, which we can't confirm through history, archaeology or the Bible? Hi Rick. I treat it as a prophecy because it specifically says it is a prophecy. even in what you posted. Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm already aware of your "Nations" book. Isn't it the one that claims the JWs are "commissioned to serve as the mouthpiece and active agent of Jehovah" and have a "commission to speak as a prophet in the name of Jehovah"? pages 58 - 62. It then goes on to tell us that "Shortly, within our twentieth century, the "battle in the day of Jehovah" will begin against the modern antitype of Jerusalem, Christendom." page 216. Correct me if I'm wrong, but, is it now the 21st century? So somehow, I feel that the book you refer me to might not be entirely accurate. [/QUOTE]
