Agamemnon,
I wish you well.
I stand by what I said. Israel entered into a 7 year agreement known as the European Neighborhood Policy with the EU in October, 2006. The nominal dates of the agreement are January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2013, which is exactly 7 years. Modern Israel has never entered into a 7 year agreement before with any nation or coalition of nations.
The size, shape, and history of the countersigning party or parties, in this case, the EU, is not relevant. Israel is the only nation that matters.
BTW, I believe that the strong majority (perhaps almost all) of modern day end-times authors are wrong in their beliefs. Some of them may mean well, but I believe that they are misguided.
Blessings.
Since when? 1948, 1967, 1973, 1979?

Once more, you have demonstrated yourself to be incapable of substantiating this claim.
As much as you may wish it to be so in order to fit the "facts" to your "model," you have repeatedly failed to base your claim in anything resembling fact. This is a common trait of end-timers.
I'm not surprised that you believe most if not all other end-timers are incorrect in their respective beliefs. This trait too is characteristic of end-timers.
End-timerism most often manifests itself as a spirit of elevated self-importance, which has more to do with one's presumed inside track on what is supposedly "received wisdom," than anything else.
This "wisdom" is also supposedly doled out very narrowly to only a select few who are in their own minds the only ones most attuned to the Spirit of God.
Some consider themselves to be "the remnant" -- in a Revelation 12:17 sort of way.
Very self-promoting. Very self-destructive.
--- To themselves, to their acolytes, as well as to their own Christian testimony and spiritual growth.
Man too often deceives himself, and this is no less true of Christians. The sooner you get off this treadmill, the better structured your arguments will be in the near term and the better off you will be personally in the long run.
FReegards!
