Aemmyjah: LoLz. This is the thing with responding to emotionally sourced garbage while I have to go find credible and historic sources, someone like you will just bring whatever garbage you glean from your JW.org. My claims about Cyrus are sourced from multiple historic documents but what's your own source, the Bible and JW.org right? LMAO. Can you show that Cyrus did not defeat the Babylonians at Opis before he entered the city of Babylon? I can't recall where I read where some people once dismissed Ninevah existence but was the prophecy about her overthrow amd total destruction also a coincidence or it was written at that time and forwarded to an ancient timing? How did Jeremiah know that the notorious Ninevah will be destroyed and uninhabited? Did he write his book when it was destroyed? You can't remember because you are relying on garbage information. If you had proper information you wouldn't need to remember, you'll dig out the reference. How was it destroyed if people are still living in it right now? When was it destroyed when even up to the 13th century it was still a relatively important city enough to have a Christian bishopric? Babylon was the greatest kingdom in it's own time just as there was a time when Rome was the greatest empire, Greece And Britain were the greatest in their own time... Don't ignore that one of the 7 ancient wonders of the world was in Babylon too and had the greatest defense .. Keep reading junkie, poor critic. Who would want to go and attack Babylon of old? You can only access the city by boat, they will just close their high gates and shoot their arrows at you from their walls. Powerful nation So if every kingdom is the greatest in own time by what measure was Babylon considered the greatest as stated in the so called prophecy? Babylon of old that could not conquer Egypt? Babylon of old that was eventually defeated by the Persians? Alexander's death was sudden and his empire disintegrated into a 40-year period of war and chaos in 321 BCE. The Hellenistic world eventually settled into four stable power blocks: the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, the Seleucid Empire in the east, the Kingdom of Pergamon in Asia Minor, and Macedon... Why not go and read for yourself the book of Daniel, you'll see where Daniel stated that his kingdom will not go to any of his descendants and that Alexander will not even last as a world ruler... Do you want to tell us that Daniel was a Jew in Alexander time? ... The Bible used a leopard to describe Alexander and that makes sense cos that animal is very swift just as Alexander rise to world power and Daniel used animals that walked on four legs... Whether Alexander worshipped snakes or birds is irrelevant Pergamon?! LMAO! Pergamon that is not listed as a major power bloc anywhere? I have attached the map of the division of Alexander's kingdom, show me where Pergamon and its territories is. Which empire was ruling as worldpower when Jesus came? It even makes sense since you don't doubt Jesus existence and that critics call him a character forged by the Romans even adds more evidence. Did Daniel exist in Jesus day? LMAO! See how your subjectivity is now changing the narrative? Now you are claiming that it was Jesus' lifetime that fulfilled the prophecy. Bwahahahahaha! So we should not expect the second coming anymore? LoLz. BTW the Pergamon you are talking about was absorbed by the Romans so was almost every other territory of Alexander so why are you not claiming that the Romans are an offshoot of the Greeks simply because they conquered Greek territory like you are claiming with Britain. Did you not read what I wrote about Britain and how it fulfilled the prophecy that it will defeat 3 kingdoms to become great? What have you got to say about that. Abi na lie? Anglo-American are the current world powers and I wrote that their influence will be greatly weakened and that is what we see today. Daniel even wrote that this worldpower will face constant 'pushing' by rivals and that is what we are seeing. We had the German empire, the Soviet union and now, Russia and allies... I deliberately hid that, now you've simply added to fulfill what was written beforehand. Thank you. LMAO! Was it only 3 kingdoms the Brits defeated? Shall we count? The Welsh, the Scots, the Irish, the French, the Spaniards, the Dutch, the Russians, Indians, Africans, etc. That's 9 just off the tips of my fingers so how does this fit into your detail? You claim that Britain is an offshoot of the Roman Empire can you tell us how when it was the Anglo Saxons that invaded a Britain that was already abandoned by the Romans? What we have today is not battles but wars as Jesus said and not just battles between armies of 2 or more nations and the first world war happened in 1914. ... Jesus did not isolate events but gave a composite sign that will be held. Mention that century that all these things were being experienced all over the world at the same time including the preaching of the goodnews of the kingdom, the increase in lawlessness, blasphemy, FALSE CHRISTS, hatred, betrayals, fearful anticipation of the future, food shortages, earthquakes in one place after another, epidemics, ruining of the earth . Which century? Tell us... Even our climate change has caused fearful sights from rising sea levels, floods, droughts, crop failures, pest increase. We live in fear, everything is fear. We hear of nuclear or nuclear Armageddon which makes politicians and scientists give fearful prediction. Doomsday everywhere... Bible said these things will increase. Are they not increasing? Is moral decay not increasing? Is hatred and food shortages not increasing? Is blasphemy not increasing? Is fearful news not increasing? Are wars not increasing? Are reports or rumors of wars not increasing? Just quote where Jesus said all these will increase. Abeg, go and rest. You have nothing meaningful say or contribute ever since you and other mad atheists join the religious forum in NL and your posts amd comments reflect people with no sense of purpose or meaning. You just came here to find relevance to meaningless philosophy Na you suppose go rest because you are just full of garbage information. 3 Likes

LordReed: Look at the first screenshot The idea that there was a battle at Opis ia not generally accepted and it is of note that what the Babylonian chronicles said tallies with Bible prophecy. Cyrus cylinder also says that Babylon was take without a battle . All screenshot is from Wiki... Note that all accounts of the overthrow of Babylon (both the ones that say there was a battle and the one that says there was not) mentions that there was no attack on the city and that there was a national feast celebrated by the Babylonians when Cyrus took the city. Apparently, they were in a booze that they could not recognize the danger. Now ask yourself (poor critical thinker), if there was actually a battle at Opis and the Babylonian army were defeated, apparently, word would have gone to the city to prepare for the army especially a city surrounded by water which acts as a defence. If they were defeated by the army, would the city be celebrating a national feast, or you want to fool us as you are fooling yourself? Babylonian Chronicle and Cyrus Cylinder says Babylon was taken without a battle. You can go qnd pick anyone you want to believe... Nobody is living in Babylon, why not Google and drop pictures of even a dead person in Babylon and we'll believe it. I guess you read lots of fake nonsense... Which Babylon sef? The one near your house? Before Babylon became worldpower, Assyria was the worldpower. Why not do research na? Abi you no see am for wiki... You are very poor in history and you bury your head in sand too. Babylon that defeated Egypt in the battle of Carchemish in 605BCE... That was the battle that made Babylon world power, it was formerly Assyria. Infact, Egypt allied with Assyria against Babylon but both of them were beaten... You're presenting poor, fake propaganda history, lies. You read lies and fake news... We don't just post anything oj our website jw.org... Every history and stories we put are throughly investigated... Egypt was defeated by Babylon... Thus Babylon became the worldpower... Great in architectural designs... The temples, hanging gardens, the gate, ziggurat,... The post Alexander empire was 4. Pergamum included. Oga, shut up and go and sleep. Everything regarding history in the Bible, we have done our own personal research, so you de cap nonsense... Na u comot pergamum? See last image joor The Daniel Prophecy mentions successive, established world powers. After Greece was Rome, thanks for acknowledging that fulfillment ... Did the Bible says that there would be a battle between Rome and Greece for worldpower? This guy too de drink walahi Which Germany, which Russia, which Africa, which India? 😂 😂 😂... You need help walahi, you are now assuming... De play... Go and read on the British Empire before you disgrace yourself here. 3 wars that helped Britain rise over all Europe and the world - Spain, Netherlands and France. If you like, add Congo DR. Go and read on Roman Britain or Britannia. After their invasion, it was part of the Roman Empire for a long time... Common sense tells you that empires tend to expand territories and the ones they capture are under them. Why do we have Roman Britain or Britannia? Go and sit down and read the prophecies about the last days and answer your question. I see you are now silent about your earlier argument that all the signs always happened until i revealed to you that it was a composite sign Jesus gave including the preaching of the good news all over the earth and that our earth will be near ruin... Is it not in our time and our time only that we have fears of ruined earth by a nuclear or environmental Armageddon? These things are happening and increasing as you can see. If you like, bury your head in sand. There are some who say that life today is better than ever 1 Like

LordReed: Lemme also remind you that the very last words in the first picture about just before the man is only a confirmation of the prophecy that Alexander's empire or rulership will not go to his children but divided and go to others and that kingdom (the ones his generals shared) will not be as strong as his (Alexander's) Daniel 11:4 But when he (Alexander) has stood up, his kingdom will be broken and be divided toward the four winds of the heavens, but not to his descendants and not like the dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom will be uprooted and go to others besides these. When you try to run from truths, you won't know when you collide with other truths that gives evidence to the source of truth 1 Like 1 Share |

LordReed Waiting... Did Babylon defeat Egypt or not Is anyone or anything living in the site of Ninevah as it was established of old? Yesterday, there were 3 major earthquakes - Afghanistan, Mexico and Papua New Guinea... We heard of wars too between two nations in the middle... I de wait you o |

Aemmyjah: I will respond fully in due course. Go check what I wrote about Babylon and Egypt and point out where I wrote the word defeat. Ninevah is being lived in, I will attach the Google map photos later. Those earthquakes are not considered major earthquakes because they didn't reach 7.0 on the Richter scale. Meanwhile you are yet to quote the place it is written that Jesus said earthquakes will increase. Edit: I have added 2 screenshots of Google maps, one is of the overhead view of the Kuyunjik hill and the other is ground level shot from the hill to show how close the road and buildings are to the hill. The write up you posted even says there is a village on Kuyunjik. Edit 2: Added a 3rd picture to show the village and their farms close to the Sennacherib palace ruins. 1 Like

LordReed: Bible foretells that in our time, there will be no peace but wars, food shortages, epidemics, hatred, hypocrisy and blasphemy, fear, fearful sights and terror, earthquakes too, self centered people and love of money and that our planet will be ruined and Jesus true followers will be preaching the kingdom news. That is what we are seeing today. What happened between Babylon and Egypt at Carchemish? Babylon defeated them and you deny you mentioned it If you like, go and snap Nineveh from space... I gave you surface shots and from reliable source. If you have friend in the middle east, ask him if he can find only one person in Ninevah Now, you are silent about what Daniel foretold that Alexander kingdom did not go to any of his descendants |
