(Deuteronomy 30:1-4, numerous repetitions by later prophets.)<BR/><BR/>Prophecies like no other nation succeeding in developing an active country there during the interim while the Jews were away. (Leviticus 26:32)<BR/><BR/>Have you ever been to Israel and witnessed the incredible pace of building all over the country? You cannot stand there as a sentient human being without sensing that you are in the presence of prophecy fulfilled.Jay D.

Doesn't exactly lend credence to all the mumbo-jumbo. After all, I bet we could take fragments from any people's historical record and create a convincing supernatural narrative of it. The best stories are the ones that are wrapped around a core of facts or the familiar.James F.
