It is troubling to me that people honestly believe in biblical prophecy. The bias away from intellectualism is astounding
Because it has been right again and again. What's troubling is dis-belief in it.
Name one thing that you believe, that came true because the Bible predicted it. I have an open mind, please make me understand what it is that believers think about this subject.
Mighty Babylon, 196 miles square, was enclosed not only by a moat, but also by a double wall 330 feet high, each part 90 feet thick. It was said by unanimous popular opinion to be indestructible, yet two Bible prophets declared its doom. These prophets further claimed that the ruins would be avoided by travelers, that the city would never again be inhabited, and that its stones would not even be moved for use as building material (Isaiah 13:17-22 and Jeremiah 51:26, 43). Their description is, in fact, the well-documented history of the famous citadel.
There is a school of thought that, at least in the New Testament that the term "Babylon" refers to the Roman Empire and it's downfall. This notwithstanding, how do you square the fact that the town of Qweresh was built inside the ancient city walls around 1905, and those people were displaced by Saddam Hussein during a project he spearheaded to restore the site. It is clearly documented in Arabic medieval manuscripts building materials were harvested from the site to build both Baghdad and Basra
Far from being avoided by travelers, Babylon had 50,000 visitors to see the site in 2024
I am really not trying to be a contrarian, I just don't understand. When something is demonstrably false, how does the believer in the inerrancy of scripture and a bible literalist square the interpretation with this new knowledge?
