“You will say, “I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people—all of them living without walls and without gates and bars.”
It will have to be at a time when Israel believes it has achieved peace with its neighbors. That’s not now.
Moreover there isn’t any implied link between Damascus and Ezekiel 38, so I’d discount Putin pushing Assad into anything. Maybe Damascus comes first. If ISIS takes Syria I could see them being fool enough to provoke Israel into dropping something big on their heads.
I agree with your thoughts as well. There are a few different ways that this could play out...
...” If ISIS takes Syria I could see them being fool enough to provoke Israel into dropping something big on their heads”.....
ISIS has no conscience at all...only an agenda of paving the way for the Caliphat....and many are joining them along the way. So Israel will have to do what it might otherwise be reluctant to do.
“Samson Option” .
As for the unwalled villages etc. in Israel..this is why I believe quite possible Russia may be pushed sufficiently enough to attempt to hit Israel just to get back at Obama....he and Putin have a very real hatred toward each other unlike any before Obama. They both make emotional decisions and unhealthy for all people
