Trees again would grow in Israel
Bible passage: Isaiah 41:18-20
Prophet: Isaiah
Written: perhaps between 701-681 BC
Fulfilled: late 1900s
In Isaiah 41:18-20, the prophet's talk of a future restoration of Israel coincides with an occurrence in modern Israel - the construction of a vast irrigation system to improve farming. The lack of available water, including rain, is one reason why Israel had been a desolate, unproductive land during much of the past 2000 years. But, during the 1900s, when many Jews returned to their ancient homeland, they built a network of irrigation systems. And during the past century, more than 200 million trees have been planted in Israel.
This beggars belief! Absolutely lost for words! ROFLMAO
Does this mean that Jesus was a carpenter without any wood? No wonder he had so much time on his hands that he managed to make up fairy tales!

Drum,
Maybe the problem with admin is that they do not see you as actually doing any debating, all you are really doing is simply cutting and pasting from other websites. Now, regardless of how long the text is, this isn't really you thats doing the debating, you are putting none of your own thoughts into your posts at all.
Maybe you should look at these sites, decide what you think is a good argument, research it for a couple of hours, and check that what you have read is actually accurate.
Here's an example of what I am getting at.
Crucifixion was invented by the Roman Empire after this was written.
This is totally incorrect and if you had researched this for even one minute you would have found out that it is incorrect and deleted it from your post.
Although the Romans used crucifixion, and were perhaps better at it than any one else, the Persians were crucifying people c. 400 AD. If you do not have ready access to a library do a websearch on 'google'for "cricifixion was invented".
Now, what you have to ask yourself is: 'if this website is wrong about such a simple thing as this, what else have they got wrong?"
I will answer your 'prophecies' in more detail soon but I am at work right now and do not have the time.
Take care Drum.
Brian.

Hi Drum,
You are very welcome, and thankyou very much for the reply.
I am very happy that you are looking deeper into these things and remember that your opinion is every bit as valid as any professor's, as long as you support it with some good evidence.
Good luck for the future.
Best Wishes
Brian
