"Zechariah's prophecy being fulfilled as we speak."
Yep. Same issue as the other thread. If Jesus isn't landing on the mountian, cracks appearing in it don't fulfill anyone's prophecy.

Seismic activity and Cracks could very.well be a precursor, it says the mount will split from east to west when christ returns and sets his feet down. That doesn't mean cracks forming are meaningless
Nor does it mean they are meaningful.

It doesn't mean they're meaningful. At the very least it appears to reverse cause and effect from what the Scripture passage suggests.
true, that will happen when Jesus has his Second Coming event, as that return causes massive earthquake to get triggered then
And how is the "buzzard count" these days in the valley of Megiddo?

The vultures in Israel are not doing so good these days - their numbers are declining, so I guess this means the Rapture is now on hold.

"Shortly after my arrival in Jerusalem in the fall of 1982, I was introduced to someone who had written a number of articles and newsletters regarding Israel and the End Times. One particular story about vultures caught my attention especially since the claims were quite astounding. The title had to do with a sudden and dramatic increase in vulture populations across the country, especially in the Jezreel Valley where the ancient city, Megiddo is located. Here at “Har Megiddo (=Ar-mageddon: 'mountain of Megiddo'), a final battle is prophesied to take place with 'birds of the air' devouring the defeated armies (Rev 16:16; 19:17-18). The concluding points of this person’s article led the clueless reader to believe that with the growing vulture hordes, the final conflict of 'Armageddon' was due to begin in a matter of hours.
"This was my first encounter with Christian eschatological 'pulp fiction,' or sensationalism, designed to excite specific audiences—primarily Evangelical communities in the United States—in order to bolster financial support. And of course, the money flowed. Some of these 'publishers of doom' lived in the most exclusive neighborhoods in Jerusalem, even owning yachts and luxury cars while purporting to be experts and eye witnesses to end times phenomena, which were only available to the readers through these small-time basement presses in Jerusalem. I was a little naïve back then, and admit that much of my biblical focus was on eschatology, so I eagerly devoured their material.
"Since those days, though, I have become more familiar with Israel’s flora and fauna. While guiding study tour groups over the past two decades, I have paid closer attention to some of Israel’s key nesting grounds of vultures and other migratory birds of prey.1 It is well documented that Israel’s current population of vultures has unfortunately diminished to the brink of extinction. Two species have already fallen off the bird watcher’s charts, the Bearded Vulture and the Cinereous Vulture, and two others, the Griffon Vulture and Egyptian Vulture, have dropped to less than 40 nesting pairs with only ten chicks recorded last year (2011). Before 1948 there was an estimated 1000 nesting pairs of Griffon Vultures.2
