Dark Clouds Gathering over America?

Re: Dark Clouds Gathering over America?

Isaiah 35:7 - "Hot sands will become a cool oasis, thirsty ground a splashing fountain."

Not a bad translation in fairness - many other translations put it as "The burning sand will become a pool, the thirsty ground bubbling springs".

It's interesting to note that Israel with cutting edge technology have recently turned their land which is 60% desert into some of the most productive land anywhere on earth - Israel's Water Miracle.

You could call it a Champagne Supernova

Makes a nice change from using cutting edge technology to turn other people's land into a graveyard I suppose

Yes it does. Did you ever try lobbing missiles into your neighbours garden and/ or violently attacking him and his visitors during a BBQ and getting a pleasant response?

I would have put money on you believing history (the world) began on 23 October 4004 BCE in best Bishop Ussher tradition.

It is a surprise to learn it actually began on 7 October 2023 CE.

Very little you say surprises me, you consistently preach from the white, green, black & red of your chosen economy.
I hope you don't get a little horse doing so.

No but if I did, it would probably be frowned upon if he burnt the entire street to the ground as retaliation

Maybe so, but what about leaning over the fence and handing him an ice cold bottle of beer instead?

Just a thought.

What on Earth has "turning unproductive land into productive land" got to do with Ethics? You're now starting to turn your God into a third rate deity

Well it's one of the many things He claimed He would do when Israel was gathered home from the far reaches of the planet:-

Isaiah 35v1: "Even the wilderness and desert will be glad in those days. The wasteland will rejoice and blossom with spring crocuses".

you've lost me, can you drop the analogy and explain this comment in Israel/Palestine terms?

Palestine didn't rejoice and blossom though did it? I'm not so sure about the crocuses but I wonder if there was a textual error and "crocodiles" was meant.
