That sounds like a pretty nonsensical statement. And it does not adress the details of the prophecy concerning the Jews return to Israel. Care to explain yourself so the rest of us could know what you are even talking about?

The rest of us DO know what he's talking about, because he's making sense, unlike you.

I hate this crap now of "BCE" as in Before Christian Era and "CE" as in "Christian Era" instead of B.C. and A.D. we all grew up with, much the same as i hate the "Enhanced Fujita Scale" of tornadoes as in EF1 to EF5 tornado as opposed to old-school kick-ass Fujita Scale of F1 to F5 tornado, beloved in the movie "Twister". This time period sucks.

BCE means 'Before Common Era' and CE means 'Common Era'.

No charge for assisting in your education.

The "C" in "CE" and "BCE" does not stand for Christianity. It stands for Common.

Yes, smack yourself on the head. As I said, I like the old terms (B.C. and A.D.) better, grew up with them, I do not even care enough about them to worry what they stand for. Big deal.
