“It’s clear, we’re heading for something and it seems sooner than ever now. The prophecies do say that Israel will be attacked from all sides, which seems like that’s happening now. And then it says that the Great Bear of the North and the great army from the East will also attack. “And I think …

      Could be thinking of him. Rumors that atheists started trying to disprove something and turning into Christians are good for the church.

      People have been drawing correlations to end-times prophecy since it was written. The vagueness is its strength - humans have always been and will continue to be hateful and violent to each other. That’s not a sign of its accuracy, it’s just how humans are.

      And that’s not even touching on the nutjobs actively encouraging things like violence in the middle east in an extremely misguided attempt to match the prophecy. Again, nothing to do with biblical veracity - just humans being human.
