Which means that the prophecy of Babylon in wrong, as is also the prophecy of Tyre.
The Assyrian siege of Jerusalem seems to have ended in capitulation, not a divine striking of the enemy. Daniel is demonstrably written just before the Maccabean war and is surely a polemic to that purpose.
And i need hardly say much about the NT other that it is more full of holes than a Harry Potter plot.

Only because none can understand it correctly unless taught by these-Matthew 24:45-- Few have listened.

Who is the wise and faithful servant? Nobody doubts your faithfulness to your beliefs, but 'wise' is arguable (Luke 10.21).

That "mysterious ways" BS is the Christian's biggest cop out and excuse for all sorts of stuff. The Muslims do it also. "Well it must have not been the will of Allah" why your prayer was not answered. Allah works in mysterious ways. If you seem the similarities that these nonsense religions operate in, it becomes glaringly apparent how they use many of the same apologetic tropes.

The wise and faithful servants know the appointed visitation days of their own master, and these days are feasts where the meat is given, and the servants have been made the keepers over the household of God to give God's children meat in due season, but when the servants don't know the appointed comings and goings of their own master, it's because they divided and separated from the people of Judah. Jesus came taking two men to make one servant but when the one man is then divided and cut in half, it divides Gentile from Jew cutting the servant in half, and after the servant has been cut in half, the kingdom of heaven has changed because the Gentiles are standing alone as ten virgins in relation to the ten tribes. Gentiles covenant is through the ten tribes, and they become one with Jew, but when Ephraim and Judah are divided, the gentile is wholley standing under the ten tribes being divided from Judah.

I have studied all sides carefully. I as well studied what Jesus taught. 0 doubt, his teachings back the JW teachers. I already know the world dislikes that fact. They disliked the truth Jesus brought in his day as well. They were all murdered( except John died natural)--The same occurs at the end of the tribulation--Gog of Magog comes to kill the true followers.

A lot of other people have also "carefully studied" and came to different conclusions. They are just as sure of their superiority and righteousness and exclusivity and all-around specialness as you are about yours.

Your constant claim to be "right" doesn't make anyone believe that to be true. I am therefore unclear as to what your point is in continually coming here telling everyone else that they are wrong and only you and your special band of brothers and sisters are the true followers. It's glaringly apparent that you believe everyone else is of no worth, so why not just run along then, enjoy your exclusive little club and stop bragging about your righteousness to people who find this sort of behavior nothing but boring pomposity?

At the very least, confine the self-righteous claims to the others who also believe that they are special, such as the poster on here who loves to march about the forum trumpeting as to how he is one of "the Elect". He is just like you, but I don't think he's of the exact same sect as you. Duke it out with him.
