Re: Business as usual
Thus the prophecy cannot be fulfilled until the Lost Tribes return..
​
israel officially considers the ethiopian jews a lost tribe. operations moses and solomon in 1984 and 1991 are said to (partially?) fulfill that prophecy.

Re: Business as usual
According to the Wikipedia article at Beta Israel - Wikipedia there is an idea that they are Danites who left before the Assyrian forced migration. Even if this is true (and the genetic evidence apparently suggests that they are native Ethiopians), it is not even a partial return of those sent into exile by the Assyrians..
​
no, of course not. but welcome to religious belief -- you'll often see many christians on this board profess that such and such a prophecy was fulfilled (see tyre, for example)
​
also, btw, the lemba of south africa apparently are a lost tribe. though they don't claim to be any particular tribe, they are possibly descended from levites, as they have the kohanim modal haplotype.

Re: Question for Arach
How does the Hebrew language express pronouns?
​
modern hebrew typically uses actual words for pronouns, though in some cases, biblical hebrew implies them from the conjugation of the verbs. verb conjugation is actually specific enough that pronouns aren't needed.
​
—— (shalal) is the root, meaning "plunder." in present tense, "they plunder" would be —— (hem shalalim) but conjugated in past or future it would be —— (hem shalalu). i don't believe biblical hebrew make distinction between past and future, except in perfect (generally past) and imperfect (generally future) verbs. i could be wrong on that; i'm not too clear.
​
anyways, the text of ezekiel 26:12 says —— (v-shalalu), which implies the pronoun subject "they" from the verb conjugation, thus "and they will cut." same with the other verbs in the sentance.
​
i will comment that the switch from "he" (nebuchadnezzar) to "they" is rather curious.

Re: Question for Arach
i don't think bush's relationship to congress is a good analogy for nebuchadnezzar's relationship to anything. but, uh, give it a few years...
​
it just looks odd to me, in the text. it might refer back to the other nations, or it could be evidence that a passage is missing.

Re: Singular but Plural
This should have been written: Tell Congress it must fight for us...
​
right, but congress is a group. nebuchadnezzar is not.
​
i'm just saying, it looks weird.

Re: Singular but Plural
ok, fair enough. i agree that's the mostly probable meaning. but i still think it's a little odd. might just be the poetic nature of the books of prophecy. it's almost a different language from the rigid and boring style of genesis...
