What is he holding, a protractor?
But is not the “rapture” really a 18-19th centuries teaching. Rather the Christians are going to have to suffer for the Lord Jesus before He, the King of Kings returns.
It does make targeting easier.
Warm up a couple Trident 2s.
errr.. no
Assyria was a major Mesopotamian Semitic kingdom, and often
Sorry to see how superficial is your analysis.
empire, of the Ancient Near East, existing as an independent state
for a period of approximately nineteen centuries from c. 2500 BC
to 605 BC, spanning the Early Bronze Age through to the late Iron
Age. For a further thirteen centuries, from the end of the 7th century
BC to the mid-7th century AD, it survived as a geo-political entity,
for the most part ruled by foreign powers, although a number of small
Neo-Assyrian states arose at different times throughout this period.

Maybe true...looking more and more so everyday..
Although the word Rapture is not in the Bible, it is clear that there will be a catching away with Jesus prior to the Battle at Armageddon. Revelation ch 16: 15, 16.
Well, first there will be all sorts of calamities. We haven’t seen the waters turn to blood, or 1/3rd of the population die yet. I figure this could be the ezekiel war. Armageddon has to be at least 7 years off. More likely a lot longer than that.
The Assyrian kingdom prior to 1000 BC was different from that of 700 BC -- the latter is called the "neo-Assyrian Empire"
Secondly, your statement "The Assyrian Empire is the same as the Eastern half of the Roman Empire." is factually wrong -- look at the maps above, the Eastern Roman Empire only had the western portion of the previous Assyrian Empire. The Iranis had the eastern portion
Since you now say you didn’t mean the Roman and Assyrian Empire were PRECISELY the same, in what linguistic, historical, cultural or political sense do you consider them the same?
This “Levant” has also been ruled at times by the Egyptian, Babylonian, Persian, Greek, Arab, Crusader, Fatimid and Ottoman Empires, among others.
What is the specific connection between ISIS/ISIL/IS and the Romans and Assyrians?
BTW, the difference between the meaning of ISIS and ISIL is minimal. Historically, Greater Syria referred to the area now controlled by Jordan, Israel, Palestine and Lebanon as well as Syria. Levant and Syria were very nearly synonymous.
Also, what is the relevance of the Assyrians? They never destroyed Jerusalem or its temple. That was done by the Babylonians, the empire that succeeded Syria.
Except the Assyrian areas are under Iraqi government control and are populated mostly by Shia. Also, I’ve seen nothing of ISIS’s claim to that area. The only maps I’ve seen of their proposed or actual state do not include Babylon and other ancient Assyrian areas.
When Assad falls Qatar and Saudi Arabia’s goal will be achieved. Funding for ISIS will stop and it will get ground up by the Syrian successor -which won’t be ISIS, the Kurds, Iraq and Jordan.
It means the announcer is mouthing Bravado that has no basis in fact
Correction...Bomb...
At least two...
That would take care of a big portion of the problem...Or at least define it even clearer for some who are slightly thicker skull’d than the rest...;-)
But this just makes me a really mean, hated and racist person...
beyond my paygrade to figger out.
What did he SAY?
THAT always seems to be enlightening!
Google (Assyrians Jerusalem)
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
OK. I googled.
Most all the initial hits were for the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem during the reign of Hezekiah.
They failed, with a large army destroyed.
Now why do you think an unsuccessful siege of the city is more relevant to Bible prophecy or to Israel today than the successful sieges of the city and destruction of its temples by the Babylonians and Romans?
