25 - Both Accurately prophesied their deaths.
a) 2000 yrs ago, Scripture in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John document such predictions by Yeheshua, would “Destroy This Temple (body) and rebuild it in Three days!”
b) During the 51 day siege, Kiri Jewels father took the opportunity To make some money selling his daughters testimony on National Televised talk shows. On one, I think it was Entertainment Tonight The interviewer spoke to the young 12 year old girl in effort to Demonize David Koresh and his followers, by drawing out that she knew of David having Child brides. They led her through point by Point and she answered in a stiff monotone demeanor. Then the Interviewer made the mistake of asking her in closing…”do you Have anything to say to your friends inside?” she answered, “Huh?” “ Those inside Mt. Carmel, is there anything you want to say to them or about them?” It was a live broadcast. The young girl suddenly quickened as her demeanor changed, and her eyes looked haunted and her voice no longer monotone, as she spoke no longer like a zombie, but in her own excited voice and said…”It’s HAPPENING!
“It’s Happening JUST LIKE HE SAID IT WOULD!!! He told us this Would happen, exactly like this, and he showed it to us in the Bible and he showed it to me, and I can show you…” and she turned to reach for a large Bible behind her seat and they Immediately Shut down that live feed! And I have never seen that footage again!
But those moments were broadcast LIVE and NATIONWIDE
During PRIME TIME! So I know others saw that too!
