"But the prophecy that is about to pop, and must pop first in my estimation is Zephaniah 2 and its parallel with Isaiah 14:29+."
Ezekial 38 also. The good news is that Christ tells us that He will cut the days of triublation short on behalf of the righteous because if He didn't "No flesh would be saved. That's Mark 12 or 13, cant remember off the top of my head exact vs.
The thing I use as a frame work of the Ezekiel series is that I think they are formed as three parallel stories followed by a sequence of events.
The three parallel stories are three decscriptions of a sequence that is taking place right now, one of Israel's leaders, one of Gods stand towards Jordan (Edom), and one of Gods stand towards Israel.
That is Ezekiel 34, 35 and 36. (Do a Freeper search on title "Prophecy Today" to find a series of Articles I wrote on the subject.) These Prophecies play out the battle for the West Bank. Here is the kicker, I think Ezekiel 37, and then Ezekiel 38 are sequential events that follow the completion of the "West Bank" events.
In short, When the West Bank events are over, they trigger the "Great Return" of Ezekiel 37, and the Massive immigration and strengthing of Israel triggers the Attack by Russia and the Muslims from the North. k
So, in my understanding, Ezekiel 38 is soon to come, but other events that are spoken of in 35-36 and then 37 will come first.
As a side light, the Prophecies of the battle for Gaza are also playing out, but of course they are in the end phase of their event sequence. That is the Amos 1, Zephaniah 2 and Isaiah 14 stories.
Indeed it is exciting times for the world, when Prophetic clocks that have sat silent for 3000 years suddenly all start ticking at once.
