“Arab Allies” lol

[Mr. Mojo]

a prophecy that a "large force," will attack Israel from the north.

The Turks, Syrians, and Hezbollah? If so, there are going to be a lot of incinerated Mohammedans. Can't see the Russians getting involved except in the weapons supplying role, but who knows.

I got goose bumps and butterflies in my stomach reading this. It’s like being pregnant and close to the delivery time: The excitement of the baby coming and the fear and dread of the pain one has to go through. The “end times” are truly more like a birth. I can’t wait!

I think I just saw a locust.

[PISANO]

With BHO in office I think his dislike of Israel will lend itself to the prophecy that we [USA] will do NOTHING in Israel’s defense. Or am I mistaken about this?

[Snickering Hound]

Or this map.

[humblegunner]

the beginning of the "Gog and Magog process where the world is against us, but which ends with the third and final redemption

Does that mean they are ready to convert to Christianity?

I think this invasion begins the seven year tribulation because “the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day forward.” Ez 39:22. A relevant question is what is the progress of the preparation of the beginning of the daily sacrifice and the rebuilding of the temple which are vital elements in the first 3 1/2 years of the tribulation? Detailed analysis below.

Before the rapture of the church and the seven-year tribulation, Israel continues in unbelief or to wait for their Messiah to come as king and rescue them. Revelation shows God “sealing” (“saving”) Israel at the beginning of the seven-year tribulation. Rev. Chap. 7. And interestingly, it seems that seven years is involved in the whole clean-up process: “[A]nd they shall burn them with fire seven years.” Ez 39:9.

The problem is I think the temple needs to have been built and the sacrifice needs to have been established pretty much around that same time. The Bible indicates that the “beast”, the coming Satanic world ruler will “take away the daily sacrifice” when he places “abomination that makes desolate” (Dan 11:31). This will take place in “the midst of the week,” the 70th week in Daniel. (Each week is seven years and you can count 69 weeks or 483 years from Daniel to Christ’s crucifixion. Dan 9:26.) The 70th week is the seven-year tribulation. Dan. 9:26b-27.

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Dan 9:27.

This Satanic world ruler who is the "man of sin" and "the son of perdition," meanwhile, [w]ho opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; [so that he] as God sits in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thessalonians 2:4

Therefore, the sacrifice is stopped and this "man of sin" Satanic world ruler sets himself up as God in the temple in the middle of the 7 years or 3 1/2 years after the tribulation begins. A relevant question is what is the progress of the preparation of the beginning of the daily sacrifice and the rebuilding of the temple?
