Ringo 5:
I don't believe in God. But I am interested in the predictions contained in the BIble. Also a little interested in Nostradamus and other so called seers.
If scientists can put up arrays of radio telescopes to look for messages from other life I think it reasonable that there may be communications via ancient writings. Especially when the writers of these predictions claim to have received their information from visitors from the sky.
So, I am looking for a confluence of events that correlate with Bible predictions.
Its not based on numerology. Its hard to take translations of numbers too serious. 40 years might just mean a long period. 7 years may be an average period of time. And 3.5 may be a "short" period of time. Who can say "absolutely".
This prediction was based on a particular intersection of events that indicated the potential for something significant. It wasn't.
You learn to predict by making predictions. Ask doctors how they develop prognostic skills.
