How do we justify taking Isaiah as a description of the second coming/end times rather than the specific fall of the near east nations of the time? [Spirituality & Religion]

@GodSpeed63

Can you be more specific? Do you know what Isaiah says?

@Pikachu [quote]Can you be more specific? Do you know what Isaiah says?[/quote]

Yes, I know what Isaiah says, do you?

@GodSpeed63

Yup. I'm reading through it right now. A little over halfway through.

So.
Can you be more specific? Do you know what Isaiah says?

@Pikachu [quote]Yup.[/quote]

Then why ask me what he said, Pikachu?

@GodSpeed63

I didn't ask you what he said. I asked if you knew what was in the book.
I'm not really convinced at this point that you do.

But let's assume that you do.
What specific rational do you employ to determine that the book of Isaiah refers not just to a certain regional political climate but rather to the end times?

Go ahead...

You've read Isaiah, don't you know?

@GodSpeed63

No. I don't know lol🤣
That's why i'm asking how this leap of logic is made!

Time to answer. It's ok to admit that you don't know. I didn't really expect you to.

I do know but, as usual, you'll go with your own answers rather than the truth.

@GodSpeed63

You've given me no choice but to go with my own answers since you appear afraid to give one of your own lol.
Not surprised.

No, I choose not to bandy words with a joker.

@GodSpeed63

lol but you seem quite content to bandy words right up until you come up against a question you can't answer.
Funny that🤷‍♀️

I can answer it but you'll refuse to accept it like all the answers I've given you.

@GodSpeed63

lol still bandying words....thought you didn't do that.

Are you afraid of being disagreed with? Stop making excuses because it just makes you look like a liar.

Put up or shut up.
