There have been wars, rumors of wars, famines, pestilence and bad weather since the Pleistocene. I might start taking this “end times” stuff somewhat more seriously if someone can point to me a Bible verse that says something like, “yea verily, the hosts of the Russian Federation, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Republic of Turkey shall sweep down upon the Land of Israel in the Year of our Lord 2023.”
You left out *Israel becoming a nation*.
THAT is the key where all the others can be then interpreted in light of that.
And it’s not simply that they happen. It’s true all those things have happened in the past and continue to happen. What you end times deniers ignore is that it’s also the increase in frequency and intensity that is also a factor, just like labor pains.
But clearly there are many frogs in the pot saying that it’s not getting hotter, its just alarmism.
And what did Jesus say about those things? Matthew 24:6 - “See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet”
LOL, you know there’s no such Bible verse which specifies the year of our lord, in which events will occur.
And you won't find a date this will happen.
To ealgeone's point - the alliance of Iran, Russia, and Turkey has never before happened in recorded history, yet there it is in Ezekiel 38 and 39 where all three nations get obliterated along with their cohorts.
I think you should consider that.
