The plain fact is, as I say that there is no longer any king or prophet nor Jerusalem nor sacrifice nor vision among the Jews; yet the whole earth is filled with the knowledge of God, and the Gentiles, forsaking atheism, are now taking refuge with the God of Abraham through the Word, our Lord Jesus Christ! Athanasius of Alexandria (296-373 A.D.) Participated in the First Council of Nicaea. Comment: He was right about everything except Jerusalem! We have a lot of history since this writing to help us! However even then they still had the scriptures as we do today! Israel became a recognized nation in 1948!
