It's the old tactic of declaring a bridge that gets halfway across the river a partial success.

EsCHatology is NOT a science by any means. It is the study of End-Times theories however it is closer to history or philosophy than to science. Aslan is not a Tame Lion

is that there is NO Science of EsCHatology. It is NOT a science by any means. It is the study of End-Times theories however it is closer to history or philosophy than to science, closer to science fiction than anything else.
The whole end times stuff is built on nothing but a base of soggy paper and fantasy. Russia is NOT mentioned in any prophecy, has no plans to invade Israel, is a supporter of Israel, does business with Israel, and was in NO WAY a supplier of Hezbollah. To say that Russia was involved just because some Russian Anti-Tank missles were used (which by the way Israel should have expected and was probably the biggest embarassment of the conflict as far as the Military was concerned) would also indict the US since some Hezbollah fighters use AR-16s and some of the drones they used were of US design. The beauty of End Time Prophecy is that it is so vague that folk can make it mean anything. That is also the threat. Aslan is not a Tame Lion

Example. Tyre & Sidon...prophesied that multinational forces in two separate assaults would tear down Tyre and scrape it's foundations into the sea...done...the second assault by Alexander the Great who got so mad at their escape to the Island of Sidon that he took all the remains of the city and built a causeway out to Sidon and killed them all. Look it up and try to refute it. You gonna have a hard time selling that old chestnut at this site. It might fly on some but sure won't fly here. Hint (look on map and see where Sidon is) Hint 2 (read some of the biographies of Alex) Hint 3 (check and see why the fortress of Tyre was still standing and functional less than two decades later) Hint 4 (check and see why it was STILL standing and functional when the Crusaders showed up) Aslan is not a Tame Lion

Lets toss this one on the ashheap then we can move on to the others. But I have NEVER seen someone who has been able to support ANY Biblical Prophecy lessen they were made after the fact.
Tyre is most certainly occupied today, and has been continuously since long before the Bible was written. For a recent discussion of the Tyre saga here (these things tend to come up pretty regularly) see Message 1.
give your sources...National Geographic has a pictorial about a decade ago about Tyre still being uninhabited. Doubt that VERY much. Try Google Earth and look for yourself. Aslan is not a Tame Lion

You claimed Alexander did not assault Tyre... Nope, never made such a claim. Aslan is not a Tame Lion

Sure, go on. None of those change the facts.

No Alexander DID not build the causeway out to Sidon. Sidon is another town to the north and was actually an ally of Alex.
Alex filnally made a breach in the wall. But He DID NOT level Tyre, and even left the magistrates in charge after he worshipped in the Temple there. Tyre was never scrubbed down to rock and NEVER stopped functioning as a city and a fortress. You can try to sell that stuff if you want but that dog ain't gonna hunt here. Did you even read the thread Message 1? Aslan is not a Tame Lion

None of them disagree with me. You just are reading what YOU want and not what they or the prophecy said.
Look, this is an old canard we been over a zillion times. If you want to believe it, fine. If you want more info read the thread. But you ain't selling that snake-oil here, leastwise not to me.

No, it is not Ray, but the argument is still simply absurd. I provided the link to the thread where we discussed Tyre in depth at least three times, but his only response was that the thread was irrelevant. If he wishes to go on believing that Tyre was scraped down to bare rock suitable only to dry nets, then that is fine. The fact that not one of his "sources" even hinted that was the case says volumes.
One last link to the thread.

No, the Biblical prophecy was that Tyre would be destroyed and scraped down to bare rock suitable only for drying nets.
That simply never happened. If you want to go on believing that it did, fine. Aslan is not a Tame Lion

I know that but I give them some wiggle room cause it's fun watching them dance. I particularly enjoy them talking about how "Waves" will come like Nebbi and Alex were two fronts of one battle.

Doesn't much matter.
The military target would be the fortifications. That is the Island Fortress. It still stood when Nebbi left. It still stood when Alex left. It still was there 18 years later when it was besieged yet again. It still stood when the Crusaders arrived. Aslan is not a Tame Lion

I also don't see that these oracles from Ezekiel spoke of anything but extinction of the Island City. Nothing to be rebuilt there. Yeah, the Israelis ain't all that bright I know but they sure wasting a bunch of time, munitions and folk bombing and blockading something that has been gone so long. Aslan is not a Tame Lion
