Eastern Gate: An Atheist's Worst Nightmare

Islams no longer hold the key... However, they were the ones who fulfilled prophecy... therefore showing it was not a Jew or a Christian who had their own messiah seaking agenda on mind. What if they were to all make peace with one another?.... that would not change the words long written down in the Bible. The porch of the gate will never be opened unless it is by the Messiah. Keep in mind that life is a test with only two grades: Heaven or Hell. There is only one remedy to get to heaven and it is not perfect harmony in the world (which will never happen) but through Jesus Christ.

 

How ever you tried to open the Gate it would fail. I'm not sure how you would fail, but I believe it would be unwise to try. The Moslems tried twice to open it, and on the very day they did and on both attempts Jerusalem passed out of their control. First to the British in 1917, and second to the Jews in 1967. The Bible tells us, this prophecy will not fail. The Gate will be opened, only for the Prince to come.

 

Not that many years ago the Jews discovered that the Orginal East Gate had not been destroyed but buried. In the Book of Ezekiel it states that when the Prince to come enters Jerusalem, He will do so through the PORCH OF THE EAST GATE. What the Jews also discovered was the Old East Gate which was buried perhaps a thousand years ago, has now become the foundation of the New East Gate that we see today. The writers that penned the prophecy would have no way of knowing that the Old Gate would be buried, and they could not of known that another Gate would of been built centuries later right on top of it. They also could not of known that men who did not believe the Bible, would seal up the New East Gate with stone, which fulfilled another one of the prophecies. Also, they could not of really predicted that all attempts to break through the New East Gate afterwords would fail. To know such things so far into the future, would require God's knowledge. The prophecy, will only be fully fullfilled, when Jesus Christ walks through the Gate. Until then, the Gate will remain closed. No one will be allowed to walk through it. The Anti-Christ to come will enter Jerusalem and proclaim Himself God. He will want all Jews to Worship him. He will come with signs and wonders. But when he is unable to enter Jerusalem by walking through the East Gate, the Jews will understand he is not God. Now will begin, THE GREAT TRIBULATION.

 

LOL...this is really getting ridiculous now. I'll leave you and your gates and porches with Fuzzy and MrRee.

 

"To his astonishment, directly beneath the arches of the Golden Gate he found five wedge-shaped stones set neatly in a massive arch. Here, beneath the Golden Gate, were the remains of an earlier gate to Jerusalem that had been hitherto unknown." (Jerusalem: An Archaeological biography,p. 181)

DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS? A section of Nehemyah's RESTORATION of this ANCIENT WALL and ENTRANCE GATE on its ORGINAL FOUNDATION IS STILL THERE!

If the prophecy in the Bible was true, then the orginal Gate would still have to exist. Because the prophecy states that the New Gate would be the Proch of the Old Gate. The Old Gate that they thought was gone, is still there, but buried.

Libertine, there is nothing ridiculous, what I have stated is true. Consider the evidence. You can read all about it at the web site below. And they show a photograph of the top of the Old Gate just below the East Gate we see today.

I just see an old site in Jerusalem and mythology surrounding it. I don't see how that proves the mythology true.

 

But then, I do have a habit of repeating myself.

You know, it really is just as simple as this - "Love God, Love your neighbor, Love your enemies." Do you really need any further clarification?

Please tell me humans are more important to you than stones and stories.

Peace and Love

 

Well Sera, if you don't think or consider the prophecy, then you will not see anything. The prophecy is true, if you slam the door to your mind and to the details of the prophecy then you will see nothing.

1. The prophecy states a porch will be added to the Old East Gate there is.
2. It states that the Porch Gate will be sealed, it is.
3. Prophecy said all attempts to break through the Gate will fail.they have.
4. The prophecy can only be fulfilled if the Old East Gate still exist. It does 5. The prophecies fulfillment will be during the time when Jews return to
Israel and control Jerusalem. They do.

Sera, this is not mythology, this is fact. And you are an eyewitness to these facts.

 

So, what are you suggesting? What do we do now?

 

The true Author of the Bible is God. He has given man a choice. And He has shown us that His words are true. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. The Bible states that all who give their life to Him will live for ever. Everyone needs to ask Christ into their life, and to ask Him to forgive them of their sins. Those who give their life to Jesus, will live with Him forever. The God of the Bible has stated, ''that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, the things prepared for those who love God.'' When you give your life to Christ, you step from darkness to light. God will seal you for eternity. Jesus said, ''those who are not ashamed of Me, I will not be ashamed of them when you stand before My Father.'' The prophecies of the Bible will not fail. And the coming of Christ is certain. Some will die before that day, but when you ask Christ into your heart. His Spirit will enter your body, and He will seal you in His love, for all time.

 

No please... don't run away... we would greatly appreciate your thoughts on all of this.

 

There will be a sequel, except it won't be a movie... and every tongue will confess and every knee will bow... including yours fuzzy.

 

Should've sold it on Ebay.

 

Hey guys, I don't know about y'all, but my porch isn't built ON TOP of my door. It's in front of it...and yeah, I still need to walk through my door to get into my house. Walking around on the porch doesn't get me inside...

 

All right, for the sake of discussion, I'm going to accept that the gate is there as described, and by its physical existence fullfills a Biblical prophecy. That's all that has been proven...until the additional events that exactly fulfill the remainder of this prophecy occur, nothing more has been proven. You can only infer that these events will continue to occur.


Consider: St. Luke, Chapter 17, Verses 20 & 21

20. And, when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the Kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

21. Neither shall they say "Lo here! or Lo there! For, behold, the Kingdom of God is within you.

 

The origianal name of the porch in Ezekiel is actually the word "portico"

Let us define it for you:
portico

n : a porch or entrance to a building consisting of a covered and often columned area

 

I'm just gonna delete this post and exit this thread.

 

hasta luego

 

Campbell,

I do not want to detract from the subject matter, here, but I just ran across this article and found it very interesting:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4411286.stm

My intuitive sense is that, in the near future, we are going find much more archaeological evidence regarding Jesus.


Peace,

David
