Yay! Let’s have WW3 so Jesus can come back!

You've got a real twisted mentality, thinking that way.

Zechariah 13:6
King James Version

6 And one shall say unto Him,
What are these wounds in Thine hands?
Then He shall answer, Those with which I
was wounded in the house of My friends.

I have heard the opinion that Iran doesn’t want the nukes for use against Israel but rather the US and Europe.

Apparently, Iran would be in danger from fallout if they hit Israel so there’s no motivation for them to use them on Israel. (Although that level of cognitive reasoning may be beyond their ability).

So their use is for use on the US and Europe. And thereby, Israel is doing us a big favor by taking out the trash.

The least we can do is assist them some. They’ve already done a lot we should have so we owe them some anyways. They’ve saved us loads of money and lives, while many of theirs have paid the ultimate price.

Going all the way back to the 70s, I watched Iranian student pilots in pilot training in Texas. From watching them, I knew the Iranian Air Force would not be a factor in this fight.
I heard from a from a former USAF instructor pilot, a few days ago. We were mostly discussing the Air India crash, but he said he trained 3 Iranian pilots, back in the 70s. He said all 3 of them are dead, killed trying to fly F-4 Phantoms.

I forgot to mention, I also had an Iranian apprentice air traffic controller. The dude couldn’t control his way out of a paper bag. I rarely let him work, cuz he was a walking hazard to air navigation.

Revelation 13:7 ►

It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.

Whether we like it or not
will make no difference

Theres no requirement that we fall.

He didn't say that so stop misrepresenting him.

There's no mention of or allusion to the US, which is a superpower, in Scripture. Other countries in the battles of the end times are named by name. The US isn't even implied. Therefore, it's logical to conclude that somehow, by the time all those events unfold, we have become irrelevant.

That's what Scripture indicates since they are named by name in Ezekiel 38.

You've got a real twisted mentality, thinking that way.

Ephesians 4:17-19 explains a twisted mentality.
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

Jews deny the Deity of Christ as also do Gentiles by their words and by their deeds. None of us would know anything about the Messiah were it not for the Jews. They were God's chosen vessel to bring the Gospel to the world.

Rapture of Paul directed to the Gentile community come quickly. Forget the Revelation of John which was directed to the Jewish community.

Except the few 1-3 chapters that were written to churches.

Actually, though, the Tribulation is twofold. God bringing Israel back to Himself and addressing the sin of the Gentile world.

But even Israel is going to have a hard time during the last 3 1/2 years.
