We'll have to wait and see!
I agree we can get ahead of the plan in how we see things....but I do believe we’re seeing the stage getting set...of that there is no doubt.
Also, God can slow the pace down any time he chooses...we’ve seen that before when things have seemed to be moving quickly.
I think if you consider how Israel was “walled” in the old testament and what she is today..there’s a huge difference.
Also Israel “thinking it’s safe”.......is one thing...being safe is another. Israel will not know real peace until He comes....but there has been times of peace in the past. Though we know there will be a 7yr peace agreement ahead.
Truly there isn’t anyway we can know exactly....yet we are told to “watch”. For our redemption draws nigh”.

All iterations of the same state-established thuggery that's been inflicting itself upon humanity ever since the MYSTERY eunuchs managed to prop SARgon the Sun-prince up atop their temple steps.
The worlds first city developed around its temples, and only later did palaces play a role. Its view of the world was conditioned, as in all ancient societies, by totalitarian religious belief. So the picture that comes into focus is that of a theocratic command economy, hierarchically organized , centrally directed, and regulated according to an ideology propagated by a priesthood, playing the role that, 5,000 years later, Soviet Marxists would call the engineers of human souls. Such was temple rule. As a way of life, the economic and social system the priesthood supported was, for a long time, strikingly successful .

It's not surprising the Soviet state engineers knew that demoralizing their enemy would give them a strategic advantage.
Read Romans 1:25+ the results are predictable.
Are we there yet?
