In regards to the second coming of Christ, what is made of the description of the ensueing 4 kingdoms which would rise and fall in the middle east area prior to Christs return? J.B.Books64.136.48.20120:51, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've just added a cite for postdiction as it was uncited. But more citations would be welcome, it says "scholars" and I only added a cite to one scholar. I will add a cn tag as it needs more than one cite to support "scholars" in plural. I am not an expert on this, just was reading up on the passage and wanted to check what sources there were and found one for myself. Robert Walker (talk) 11:34, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
