Modern Israel...

Since when? 1948, 1967, 1973, 1979?

...has never entered into a 7 year agreement before with any nation or coalition of nations

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!

Agamemnon,

I picture myself as sitting at a table with others, all of us whom believe we have something important to contribute. As each person speaks, the rest of us hear some things with which we agree, and other things with which we disagree. Sometimes we learn something new. Sometimes we reject what we hear.

And then it comes my turn to speak, and I realize that now all of the others see me as I saw them...

In scripture, we are commanded to watch. As imperfectly as I may be doing that, I am watching and trying to understand and interpret. And when I see something that I think that others may not see, I try to bring it to their attention so that they may benefit.

You are one of the people who sits at the table with me. I could be wrong, but it seems to me that you are unwilling to accept what I have offered. I understand. I may be wrong. All of what I have seen develop over these last few years may merely be coincidence. If that is the case, then I am playing the part of the fool.

But if I have any morsel of truth, if I have solved even just one piece of the puzzle, then my prayer is that it blesses and brings hope to those who consider what I have offered.

Our savior (Yahusha, a.k.a. Jesus) is in charge. I place my trust in him. I pray that others do, too. If there is trouble in our immediate future, it is good to know that he is our savior and will be our protector and leader, if we let him. And importantly, it will be good for him to find us working to the benefit of his children when he returns.

Blessings.
