  OK, so what's the deal with the Cyrus prophecy?

  by Amha·’aret in

  2. beliefs

  i'd really like an answer to this.

  its probably been discussed already and if so, feel free to send the link.. as a dub, i always marvelled at this prophecy - how jehovah was able to name the person who would overthrow babylon and in what manner he would do it (drying up the river, gates unlocked, etc.

  ) and so far in advance too.

  (I seem to be able to reply on p. 2 now but still can't read the end of p. 1: sorry if the following repeats or ignores previous posts.)

  Same here Narkissos. I wonder why that is? I can't see what Surfrusty wrote and something I wrote doesn't seem to have been posted either. Odd!

  Eyeslice is right. All meetings are public which is one of the ways you know the jws are not a cult!

  Surfrusty:

  Do you believe it was written as far in advance as the WTS make out? The thing is I don't know when the "prophecy" was written or how accurate it was. Thus my original quesion.

  What I know for sure is that the WTS have been grossly dishonest about many matters, including historical ones, so I have no reason to blindly trust them as I had done for the previous 20+ years. I also know that their dishonesty has tainted my view of the bible so I find it interesting to talk to believers and find out what makes them believe. Is it because of or in spite of the evidence? I'd love to know where you come in on this.

  Looking forward to your reply,

  Am

  Thanks for that Leolaia.

  In short, then, all the bit at the beginning of the Isaiah II book is pure toss and another example of the WTS trying to confuse people in to believing what they tell them to believe.

  Have you got any more detail on that? I know they were found relatively recently but I thought the Dead Sea Scrolls are used by the WTS to show Isaiah's authenticity.
