75 years ago, a prophesy from the 6th century BC was fulfilled. Ezek. 36 is just one proof God is sovereign over the nations. Israel was not an independent nation for almost 2600 years until 1948. Before 1948. Bible teachers thought this prophesy was just a metaphor but God had spoken and it became a reality. Israel became a nation to prove that He was the TRUE God and only He can predict the future and that He is the ONLY God. The future is written and it is sure, come Lord for we are all waiting! Amen

God did not write that prophecy. Whether or not God inspired it is debatable (even though many consider honest debate on the topic to be heresy AKA "forbidden thoughts"). The people that wrote that prophecy were from the Priest Class of ancient Israelites, AKA the descendants of Aaron, an aristocracy that ruled over the Jewish people, demanding a tithe (tenth) of their collective earnings, and all the best slices of meat from the demanded sacrifices. That is, according to both the Bible and scholarship, what actually happened, as in, those statements of facts are not controversial.
When you dig in, you find that those are the same exact group of people that created the State of Israel, through a level of fuckery that is near impossible to comprehend.
As I said, there is more to the story than you have been led to believe.
If Jesus was okay with the OT, then I am okay with it.
Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. Have you read the gospel of Thomas? How about the book of Enoch?
There is more to the story than the book we got. When you really dig in to who created that book, and compare what Jesus said in the various other gospels with the narrative that surrounds the book we got, a whole new picture emerges.
People in the "Great Awakening" have come to appreciate that there is fuckery pretty much everywhere in our present day. For whatever reason, they believe that the Bible we have and The Church that ruled all of Europe through the doctrine of that book was somehow immune to fuckery. That book took over from the book that was used to rule the Jewish people before that.
Why do people believe that that entire book, that was used to rule their respective regions, was immune to fuckery? Because the book we got says so itself.
I suggest you look at the gospel of Thomas. Look for variation in the message. It may be subtle, and you may not see it. If you don't, I will be happy to point out possible discrepancies.
I'll stick with the Holy Bible and leave the Gnostic to you. Jesus said the volume of the Book was written about Him. He quoted from the OT several times. You believe whatever you want. I'll not argue over it.
