That’s my take as well. You might wish to consider that the immediate opening of the Tribulation begins with a world leader bringing in peace (white horse).
Yeah, the only issue I had with LaHaye’s interpretation is that Israel would have to be burning weapons during the Great Tribulation.
When at that time they should be in Petra. Of course, it’s not impossible that they could burn some there, but they’d have to transport them for fuel.
And Jesus said don’t even go back into your house when it’s time to run.
I suppose time will tell.
