I can't believe things have gone on for as long as they have either. But I'm glad they have. It's absolutely true the Almighty 'is long suffering'.
There are things I'm following that I believe mark a terminus for when things must begin, or I have to reevaluate my thinking on certain prophecies. And those clues to when things start to happen have a very near expiration date.
It may include Ezekiel 38 happening - it will shock the world, too.
One of the very, very few areas where I disagreed with brother Dave Hunt (RIP). Dave thought it was Armageddon. Ezekiel 39 seems to hint around that.
But there are people who protest the Ezekiel 38 invasion. At Armageddon, it’s basically the whole world versus Israel. This is what necessitates the Return of Jesus Christ. (Armageddon would eventually destroy the world if left un-stopped, IMHO).
Besides, the Remnant 1/3 of Israel that has survived is protected from the Antichrist in Petra. He can’t touch them there though he will try.
