Is the Gaza war part of End Times prophecy?
All Israel News ^ | 10/17/2023 | Joel C. Rosenberg

Posted on 10/17/2023 2:40:31 PM PDT by Lake Living

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL – As the situation here in Israel goes from bad to worse, and the death toll and number of wounded continues to climb on both sides of the border, Christians around the world are sending me great questions via email, text message, WhatsApp, and Twitter’s Direct Messaging.

Above all, they want to know not just what’s happening moment to moment but where is this all going and what it all means from a biblical perspective.

No, just setting the stage

If Damascus is destroyed that will be significant to the prophetic timeline. But I do agree, we are setting the stage for end times, especially the Ezekiel 38 war.

IMHO it won’t happen as we expect or when we feel it will. It will happen suddenly, with almost no warning, , so it a great idea to stay prayed up, accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior and try very hard to be in a state of grace.

Yeah, the Bible doesn’t really give us enough regarding a time line but like in the book of Daniel - “stay tuned, more to be revealed soon!” These events are certainly getting interesting. It’s a little hard not to bite your fingernails down to your elbow!

Nobody knows yet, but I would say that we might be seeing the opening salvos of Psalm 83, Isaiah 17, and Jeremiah 45 right in front of us.

If Hezbollah or Assad get involved- Syria and Lebanon are toast.

Imagine the anger that will create in Moscow, Ankara, and Tehran?

A simple answer, every event since Jesus is either an end times event OR an event tied to the end times. Who would think Israel gaining their homeland and becoming a nation in 1948 was an end time event? ( piece of the puzzle). It was! It was prophecized Israel would have to become a nation- prior to 1948 that event was an impossibility.

Point is, there are many “ clues” to the End Times….every.single.clue must be checked off the box….that said, I believe most all the pieces to the 5,000 piece puzzle must be “ on the table “, as of today there are still some pieces to the puzzle “ missing”. The puzzle simply can not be fully assembled- yet.

I do believe we will soon see more pieces being found, the tempo is increasing….digital currency ( cashless), rebuilding of the Third Temple, a falling away of Christianity, severe persecution of Christians, etc……

Mark Twain once said that “History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme.”
Many times there has been a cleansing of the Land - even of its own people due to disobedience.
But, in HIS mercy and plan the return of His chosen people are a sign to all of us to understand the season we are presently living.
Zephaniah Chapter 2 - I see this as setting the stage as a previous comment has put it. I still don’t trust Biden’s administration regarding plans for our military there - I think they will attempt to enforce a no fly zone against Israel. As far as end times; that has been expected since his ascension from the Mount of Olives. How many events have taken place that would have told us ‘Certainly NOW!’? Be expectant and always preparing for that return.

The simple answer is an emphatic yes. Across the Multiverse, End Times occur on a second by second basis. The question is when our ticket is called. No one can know. However, it does seem that time pirates from the DS can sometimes move between layers. President Trump knows this - that is one of the secret reasons he created Truth Social. We can’t let the DS dominate “reality”.

Amen! A good word for these times in which we live.
Listening to many of the Israeli military leaders and the PM, Bibi Netanyahu, regarding the current conflict, the thing I hear is a confidence in the Israeli people and their ability to survive and a determination to win an avenge their enemies. It’s not that there are none but the references to their God, a trust in and dependence on Him seem more ceremonial, traditional and not heartfelt. We continue to pray for the salvation of the nation, that more eyes are opened and that through these tragedies, they humbly seek the only One who can deliver them. We know bad days are ahead for the Jewish people (and Christians, too).

I believe we are getting close to the destruction of Damascus. And I don’t know how close we are to the Ezekiel 38 war, but it’s coming.

Things are heating up in the ME. Hamas doing what they do
best, blowing up a hospital or school and blaming Israel.

Then Putin visiting 'dear friend' Xi. I'm starting to sense WWIII.

Not yet...but if the United States, Israel and Great Britain all fall economically or as a power within a month all bets are off.

Israel will be on their own at the end. When you see Damascus destroyed, then, yes, we are there.
