I took way too long to write this and get it posted. I must take my wife shopping, so I will respond to any comments or questions later when we return home.

40 weeks (read years) after the establishment of Israel in 1948, and it will be the rapture.

[fhayek]

Wouldn’t that be 1988?

[Rurudyne]

Keep in mind the Saudi cleric’s declaration that killing Jews is forbidden.

Yes, it could be just Taqiyya in play, and it most likely is, but if the Muslims can’t kill Jews they either gonna start killing each other over not killing Jews or killing more Christians to take up the slack.

While the Jewish hold the nation of Israel today, what many forget is that the Jews were of just one tribe. There were 11 others plus one half tribe.

Today, I felt that the POTUS made Israel a whole united nation again in this move. So the 40 year clock started today. Just IMO.

Funny, Hebrew texts are filled with so many references to Cyrus, but for such a man well published he never mentions them.

Hey, Cy, how about a shout out for the homies?

[Rurudyne]

The 70 weeks of years were mostly done when Christ was crucified as foretold (that was 69 weeks). The last week is the tribulation. I’m not personally familiar with some other 40 week period from Scripture.

[xzins]

A lot of assumptions in there, but that’s to be expected.

The biggest issue for me is that Jerusalem is still divided.

It’s great that Trump has recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, but that does not undivide the city.

My opinion, though, is that Jerusalem must be unified. Trump’s decision makes that more likely.

[morphing libertarian]

can you gives us like a 2 minute warning? I’ve got two end of the world prophecies ahead of you

[rigelkentaurus]

I’m thinking that the mooselimbs have to be gone from Temple Mount before Jerusalem can be completely unified.

[MeanWestTexan]

I’ll throw you a tidbit.

“Cyrus” means “lord” in Greek — as in, chief, nobleman, not theology.

“Donald” means “lord” or “world chief” (again, as in nobleman, not theology).

[Nifster]

Or not

[Nifster]

Nicely played

[fhayek]

If you kick the Muslims off the Temple Mount...

They will be sooooo pissed!

[Entropy Squared]

Thanks for writing this. You’ve made me think and reevaluate. God Bless you and your patient wife.

My opinion, though, is that Jerusalem must be unified. Trump’s decision makes that more likely.

I personally see no reason to believe that Jerusalem will be unified either ethnically, politically, or otherwise, at this time in the End Time.

The unification of Jerusalem will obviously come after the Rapture and the seven-year period of Tribulation, following The Marriage Supper of the Lamb, after Jesus returns leading the Armies of Heaven--the Heavenly Host, (Rev. 21), Satan is bound, and the New Heavens and New Earth are established.

I don't see how any condition could exist in which the reunification of Jerusalem until the removal of all conditions in which hatred on earth exists.

I believe that eventually India will nuke Mecca and Medina, causing Islam to collapse and the Shiites to fall away.

The Sunni are still the seed of Ismael and will continue as ever after a pause.

I look for Temple sacrifice to be restored in the immediate aftermath of the destruction of Mecca.

First things first though, let’s watch for the Burden of Damascus to fall.

[G Larry]

The only “rapture” occurs with the Second (and final) coming of Christ, and no man knows the hour.

(so quit pretending)

[mountn man]

If you kick the Muslims off the Temple Mount...

They will be sooooo pissed!

And if you don't kick them off...

They will be soooo pissed.

Muslims are like liberals

ALWAYS looking for something to be pissed off about.
