Yes peterT I was referring to Islam being the beast. The most desolate time in Jerusalems histroy has been while it was under Islamic control. But as I said before discussing past and or present events is not being a prophet. On the other hand those who claim to know the future are acting as prophets. Allow me to post the definition of a prophet again and maybe you can show us where a prophet is one who talks about the past.
Prophet
PROPH'ET, n. [L. propheta.]
1. One that foretells future events; a predicter; a foreteller.
2. In Scripture, a person illuminated, inspired or instructed by God to announce future events; as Moses, Elijah, David, Isaiah, &c.
3. An interpreter; one that explains or communicates sentiments. Exo 7.
4. One who pretends to foretell; an imposter; as a false prophet. Acts 13.
of the prophets, among the Israelites, a school or college in which young men were educated and qualified for public teachers. These students were called sons of the prophets.
As the above definition shows prophets discuss the future not past or present. Islam (the beast) has been staring us in the eyes for the past 1400 years, that my friend is not future. I am sorry you are incapable of understanding this simple difference and until you do I am sure you will continue to find some lame excuse to hide behind for your false accusation that those who discuss fulfilled prophecy are playing prophets. Thanks once again for demonstrating that discussion with you is futile and that you have nothing productive to add to the discussion. I’ll keep you in my prayers.
