This is the issue. Jesus gave us signs to look for which would be occurring around the world right before His return, events which would all be happening at the same time. These events which Jesus told us would happen are all occurring simultaneously, around the globe, at the same time, in our generation.
No one is applying their own "beliefs" to current events; we are witnessing the exact things that Christ said would happen before the seven-year Tribulation period happening right now, in our time.
And the article posted was not "just one website theorizing about something". The prophetic Scripture was included in the article, and the fact that Damascus has nuclear plants and the fact that Iran has docked a warship in a harbor in Damascus, and the fact that Iran has vowed to wipe Israel off the map, could mean that the fulfillment of the Isaiah 17 prophecy is very close to happening.
If you are someone who does not believe prophetic Scripture, then you do not need to be posting on a dispensational caucus. Like I said, you are welcome to start your own thread where like-minded individuals can have your own discussions.
