Logically, if a book that was written thousands of years ago describes today in detail and is right, it doesn't matter if said book was written by an Alzheimer's patient. It's still obviously directed by God.
How could authors, known or unknown, predict all of what is pointed out in the first points on this side of the debate? (Much less all prophecies not included in this debate)
Just in those verses alone it tells us about one point in time referred to as the "end of days". Those days are described as:
1)Gospel goes worldwide.
2)A falling away from the faith and a rebellion against God.
3)The emergence of the beast system on the scene. Islam claims to be the beast system. It's why they imprison and behead Christians.
4)The genocide of Christians(happened by the millions during Obama's term)
5)Damascus is reduced to rubble.
6)Jerusalem is divided into 3 parts in Revelation. (It is divided into Muslim, Jewish and Christian sections today)
7)Israel is the center of world conflict.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
In the eleventh year, in the third month on the first day, the word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his hordes:
“‘Who can be compared with you in majesty?
3 Consider Assyria, once a cedar in Lebanon,
with beautiful branches overshadowing the forest;
it towered on high,
its top above the thick foliage.
4 The waters nourished it,
deep springs made it grow tall;
their streams flowed
all around its base
and sent their channels
to all the trees of the field.
5 So it towered higher
than all the trees of the field;
its boughs increased
and its branches grew long,
spreading because of abundant waters.
6 All the birds of the sky
nested in its boughs,
all the animals of the wild
gave birth under its branches;
all the great nations
lived in its shade.
7 It was majestic in beauty,
with its spreading boughs,
for its roots went down
to abundant waters.
8 The cedars in the garden of God
could not rival it,
nor could the junipers
equal its boughs,
nor could the plane trees
compare with its branches—
no tree in the garden of God
could match its beauty.
9 I made it beautiful
with abundant branches,
the envy of all the trees of Eden
in the garden of God.
10 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because the great cedar towered over the thick foliage, and because it was proud of its height, 11 I gave it into the hands of the ruler of the nations, for him to deal with according to its wickedness. I cast it aside, 12 and the most ruthless of foreign nations cut it down and left it. Its boughs fell on the mountains and in all the valleys; its branches lay broken in all the ravines of the land. All the nations of the earth came out from under its shade and left it. 13 All the birds settled on the fallen tree, and all the wild animals lived among its branches. 14 Therefore no other trees by the waters are ever to tower proudly on high, lifting their tops above the thick foliage. No other trees so well-watered are ever to reach such a height; they are all destined for death, for the earth below, among mortals who go down to the realm of the dead.
15 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On the day it was brought down to the realm of the dead I covered the deep springs with mourning for it; I held back its streams, and its abundant waters were restrained. Because of it I clothed Lebanon with gloom, and all the trees of the field withered away. 16 I made the nations tremble at the sound of its fall when I brought it down to the realm of the dead to be with those who go down to the pit. Then all the trees of Eden, the choicest and best of Lebanon, the well-watered trees, were consoled in the earth below. 17 They too, like the great cedar, had gone down to the realm of the dead, to those killed by the sword, along with the armed men who lived in its shade among the nations.
18 “‘Which of the trees of Eden can be compared with you in splendor and majesty? Yet you, too, will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the earth below; you will lie among the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword.
“‘This is Pharaoh and all his hordes, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”

And here is a debate I did showing that even the religion of the Antichrist described in the book of Revelation has come onto the scene provably.
http://www.debate.org/debates/
Liberalism is literally turning the West into the very things the God of the Bible claims He hates, brings judgement on, and ultimately manifests the wrath of God upon. Christ and the apostles were clear that you are not to dabble with such people. Liberals directly disobey and ignore the word of God to justify doing unbiblical things. And according to the Bible, it comes with judgement and rejection, even for the one claiming to be a believer.
GOSPEL GOES WORLDWIDE-
"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."
http://biblehub.com/matthew/24-14.htm
-----
THEN REBELLION AGAINST GOD-
"Don't be fooled by what they say. For that day will not come until there is a great rebellion against God."
http://biblehub.com/2thessalonians/2-3.htm
"At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other."
http://biblehub.com/matthew/24-10.htm
"Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires."
http://biblehub.com/2peter/3-3.htm
"In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires. It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit."

"The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap."
You do understand that the illuminati was once a real group that actually went by that name?
Of course you see everyone as Americans, which would include terrorists, spies, jihadists, foreign extremists, aliens from the Andramada Galaxy.
But seriously, you don't see conservatives, the flag, or the military as "American". You see anyone who agrees with the Orwellian Progressive religion or a potential convert, as "American".
Already lost faith in the Soros' take down of the West machine called the media.
Globalism is how they'll get the shock colliers on you. Nationalism maintains that other nations keep other nations honest.
In other words you want to put your bloody wank in the butt of someone else with a bloody wank.
I'd say that a conventional weapon just kills. Nerve gas causes your body to drown you in your own fluids and your skin to rot off and hair to fall out and not grow back, amongst other things.
For a Muslim to believe in peace, they have to shut the Quran and decide to ignore every word of it. That would be a different religion called "not Islam".
Yes. That's why liberals constantly tell us how educated they are.*
A cult that promotes criminals being shot dead if they try to rape your daughter or child.
No. They have no sermons, no ideology, just a desire to not helplessly watch their daughter raped by a criminal who ignores gun laws.
James Harden. James had a better career but not a better year.
Reich wingers? You mean Farrakhan's Democrat Party? Yes, they hate Jews, want to kill them all and love Hitler. We know all about them.
If actions are what makes someone dangerous, Obama was Hitler's long lost brother. Which violent war act is it of Trump's that has you concerned?
Should I be able to marry my dad, grandpa, brother, son, or mother?
Like the light bulb, tv, &... soap.
I'd be damned proud to claim I was the 1st to put a rock on the end of a stick. Much more impressive than jets and cars.
