that will require some study. Is this your take on the timeline?

[TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed]

Yes. However, I am working on a small revision that puts the Psalm 83 War just after the Abomination of Desolation (when the sacrifice is stopped). After careful consideration, it seems to fit better there.

Blessings.

I had been wondering about Psalm 83, where would it fit... I was certain it was the next event in the prophetic calendar, until Saudi Arabia started dealing with Israel... now it seems like Eze 38-39 will happen first, especially if Damascus gets destroyed per Isa 17. So, where do you think that Psalm 83 fits? What are your reasons? Can you recommend any reading?

They will be alone, and all the nations will turn against them (which has been in the process of happening for several years and the rapidity of this has greatly increased since Obama was elected), but God engineers their isolation so that He is the only One they can turn to for help and this is the way He will bring His chosen people back to Him.

Here are a couple of articles that talk about what will happen with Israel as this age comes to a close:

Israel's Future Destiny: Literal or Symbolic?

Interesting, this is the first report I’ve read
that said not only the French balked but that
the Iranians did as well. Most likely they
would have in any case.

Every day is a precious jewel in the race for POWER.

6... 6... 6.

Man of peace, yeah, sure.

Remember, something has to happen that makes Israel feel safe enough to take down all the security walls they have around the nation. It is at this time that the Ezekiel 38/39 war takes place. Also, there is a reason why Israel's immediate neighbors aren't included in the Ezekiel war. Israel will also be burning the weapons of the Ezekiel 38/39 war for seven years which means, since there will be no burning of anything during the Millennal Reign of Christ, both the Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38/39 wars have to be over and done with by the end of the Tribulation.

Be prepared, and prepare yourself, you and all your companies that are assembled about you, and be a guard for them. 8“After many days you will be summoned; in the latter years you will come into the land that is restored from the sword, whose inhabitants have been gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel which had been a continual waste; but its people were brought out from the nations, and they are living securely, all of them. 9“You will go up, you will come like a storm; you will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your troops, and many peoples with you.”

“Then those who inhabit the cities of Israel will go out and make fires with the weapons and burn them, both shields and bucklers, bows and arrows, war clubs and spears, and for seven years they will make fires of them. 10“They will not take wood from the field or gather firewood from the forests, for they will make fires with the weapons; and they will take the spoil of those who despoiled them and seize the plunder of those who plundered them,” declares the Lord GOD. Ezekiel 39
