Exodus 22:18Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
For years I thought that was a spiteful God attacking anyone who opposed Him in any way. It made no sense; Jesus speaks of brotherly love and compassion. So when I discovered Strong's I looked up the words in that verse.
Suffer - aid, assist.
Witch - anyone who practices communion with spirits.
To live - to profit, make a living, prosper.
Rereading it with those definitions it changes from "If you see a witch kill it!" to "don't give money to those who claim arcane knowledge." In today's culture that might be seen as "Stay away from the Psychic Hotline; they're frauds at best and liars at worse."
Quite the difference.

You are speaking of the science. I am speaking of the social aspects.
It does not matter that the vaccine does not mean one should or should not wear a mask. The masks are useless anyway. The vaccine may be useless or it may be completely effective. It simply does not matter. What matters is how it is used.
A hammer is no better than the arm swinging it. It by itself has no bearing on the accuracy of efficiency of the swing. Yet, look in any tool store and you will see all shapes and sizes of hammers, each one claiming to be better than the other by virtue of things that are irrelevant. And because of such false claims, more people buy that particular hammer expecting it to do what no hammer is capable of doing.

The people who wrote the scriptures were not the elite. The elite hate the Bible and Christians. Frankly what you see as plausible? Is really just silly. That's all I have to say about it.

I said that the elite are acting on what is written in the Bible.
What's the difference?

My point is it doesn't matter if the elite decided to use scripture
to some advantage. And then model history to follow prophecy.
The elites themselves have then only helped confirm prophecy.
What does it matter how the prophecies come to pass when they
we're recorded by so called sheep herders two thousand years ago?
How does that discredit what they accurately fore saw becoming
possible? It doesn't!
So there is no difference.
SO since God is all knowing he will NEVER let man predict the end times.
What do you consider the more plausible:
The Bible contains prophesies that have/are coming to pass
or
The Bible contains prophesies that only come to pass because people/persons unknown/known in high power engineer those prophesies to come to pass because it's written in the Bible?
“This is rather as if you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in — an interesting hole I find myself in — fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.”
