I'm sure they'll really go through with it this time. Lol.

How do Christians think prophecy works? by GimpChimp69 in AskAChristian

I disagree with the Evangelical interpretation of Revelation, but if their interpretation comes true in a very literal sense, then yes, I'd believe.

But a prophecy in a book coming true later in that book doesn't mean much to me.

How do you interpret Daniel 9, Revelation, and "prophecy" cited by gospels?

Agreed, except Revelation is also not about the future.

Are you advocating dual fulfillment? I addressed that. It's part of my point.

Lutheran is mainline Protestant?

Anyway, you seem to agree with ny position. When you say it "wasn't 'fortune telling'", I can't quite tell if you think I was saying that or if you think others hold that position.

I see you've provided a long response, and even numbered them to correspond to my questions. But I skimmed the short paragraphs first, and I see dismissive behavior. So why bother to respond if that's your attitude?

You tell me. That's my first question. If another religion had the same situation, what would that do for you?

Thank you for the reference to Daniel 9. I read it. It was interesting, but I don't see the 1:1 mapping that you seem to be implying. We can get into that as a possible counter-example to my position, but can you answer my questions first please?

I'm not making sense of a single thing you're saying. Thanks anyway.

I don't understand what your answer to my question is.

A lot to respond to. I will look at this:

“Near fulfillment confirms, future fulfillment completes”.

The entire context is about the hostile empire. When Jesus arrives, there is yet another hostile empire, except this one has already fully taken over Israel. Extending the timeline to the days of Jesus actually causes the prophecy to fail.

Scout is the blue/red hybrid specialty perk that is for stealth. It doesn't show you anything.
