So folks now, here we are with the prophecy pretty much fulfilled. . .
Your original post proclaimed amazing and incontrovertible prophecies "fulfilled to a 'T'".
Yet, even you, in your first post, retreated to the phrase "practical purposes" regarding the "times of the Gentiles".
It seems reasonably clear then that the "times of the Gentiles" were not fulfilled in 1967 and thus, the six-day war was not the fulfillment of Luke 21:24 as you originally proclaimed.
Therefore, the most generous concession that can be made regarding this "prophecy" is that it remains to be seen whether or not it will be fulfilled.
As to the "prophecy" that the gospel will be preached to the entire inhabited earth, it has already been pointed out that this is a self-dependent statement analogous to the anthropic principle (i.e., the prophecy remains extant if/and only if the religion survives).
As to fulfillment of this prophecy, your own equivocation (i.e. "pretty much fulfilled") admits that this has not happened. Therefore, it not only remains to be seen whether or not this "prophecy" will be fulfilled, but more importantly, it also remains to be seen whether or not any of the attendant consequences occur if/and when the gospel ever is "preached to all the world".
So, in contrast to your original proclamation of incontrovertible and amazing prophecies fulfilled to a "T", what we have actually been presented with so far are two rather ambiguous statements, neither of which can be demonstrated to have been "fulfilled".
If then, there is such a plethora of astounding prophecy fulfillment on which you base your faith, why are you experiencing such difficulty in presenting one?
Namaste'
