Probably the most obvious is the national decline of the United States in power, influence, and wealth compared with other nations in the world, which I think is setting us up for a fall.author@ptgbook.orghttp://www.ptgbook.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28426681.post-27364934652791987572006-09-17T03:16:00.000+12:002006-09-17T03:16:00.000+12:00One prophecy that has come true is that the Pope has gotten together with the German leadership.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28426681.post-61504374731277196142006-09-15T08:52:00.000+12:002006-09-15T08:52:00.000+12:00The statement made by GTA was that "one FULL third of the Bible is prophecy and 90% of it has not been fulfilled". This is of course untrue. I think within orthodox Christianity, about a third of the Bible is seen as prophecy and 90% of it has been fullfilled. The gap between these two statements centers on all the fulfilled prophecy concerning the nation of Israel that was reconstituted by Armstrongites and applied to modern day Western European nations. This results in a much more marketable product with great benefit to those who would genuinely like to see other people "punished" and who revel in having secret and privileged knowledge. Claiming the imminent fullfillment of prophecy also permits the Armstrongite leadership to "spin up" their congregations with fear and excitement to give more money. It works nicely because what they are spinning up is the End of the Age and the implication is that money is probably soon to become worthless anyway. <br /><br />It is a breathtaking marketing package. It works effectively. And as long as there are Armstrongites, they will claim that the End of Days is imminent. So, eventually, they are going to be right through happenstance. Where they will go wrong is all that nonsense about the Place of Safety being Petra. <br /><br />Neo<br /><br />PS: Jewish scholars believe that the people of the US and the UK are descended from Japheth. This is corroborated by the earliest writings of the Irish which were discounted, gratuitiously, by Herman Hoeh. And it is interesting that there is barely a mention of the descendants of Japheth in the Bible, although they are predicted in Genesis to be the most numerous people on earth. The reality doesn't provide the ego trip that British Israelism does, for sure.Neothermnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28426681.post-17235553908758220892006-09-15T07:45:00.000+12:002006-09-15T07:45:00.000+12:00Can anyone think of ONE single prophecy made by any of the groups that actually came about?<br /><br />LochinvarAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
