[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 694927, member: 60724"] R Shek said: Yes, if you believe the literal interpretation of the Bible there will be a 2nd coming, Rapture, there will be the judgement and then there will be true heaven on earth, aka Tribulation. So goes the prophecy. And the Bible has already proven that God delivers on the prophecy because all the prophecies of the first coming of Christ as described in the Old Testament came true. But along the lines of what Rodger has said, how can we be so sure? The Old Testament was passed down, largely unwritten for generations, and both it and the New Testament that we follow today were written centuries after the birth and death of Christ. That's more than just a convenience. What is known, is that unless there is a "Tower of Babel" type event we should assume that our currently documented and understood prophecy of the 2nd coming will still be around when that 2nd coming occurs. So we can compare and constrast the prophecy with the reality. For those not up on Genesis, the Tower of Babel refers to man uniting to build a tower into the heavens to see, interact and be with God, and God intervened and set communication back for centuries because man got too close to him...almost in an "Ignore the man behind the green curtain fashion". But that's a whole other debate, one that starts in its foundation of whether the Tower of Babel story is parable or fact. Read more on this very topic of the validity of prophecy at: [/QUOTE]
