It’ll be interesting if it ends in a peace deal... especially if that deal includes building a new temple in Jerusalem.

It will take thevman of sin to bring peace. Understand this is Iran's big move to eliminate Israel. This could very quickly explode.

The whole point is the Son of Perdition double crosses Israel. The terms of "peace" he brings about will be fake.

Yes Jesus said they would embrace another massiah

It will; that's already written.

Didn't you hear? Trump already helped negotiate a number of peace deals between Israel and neighboring countries back in 2020.

🙄Oh, please give it up. Trump is not on the side of the enemy. You are blinded by your TDS and are looking away from those who would destroy mankind. Wake up.

Nevertheless, Donald J. Trump did. He was almost awarded a Nobel Prize. His proudest achievement in office. Next to Operation Warp Speed of course.

This MAY be the beginnings of the Gog of Magog war found in Ezekiel 38 & 39, or it may be a rerun of the Psalm 83 war. The apocalypse is the 7 yr period sandwiched between the Ezekiel wa and the battle we call Armageddon. The conclusion of that battle, completes Yhwh God's judgment on humanity, and sets the stage for a millennium of peace and prosperity we haven't known since Eden, under the reign of the returned Jesus Christ.

It could or may be Amageddon may be the final battle of the Gog Magog war. It will be Biblical to see how this plays out. Watch and pray.

That can't be; the 7 peace treaty precludes that, even though the man of perdition will break it himself at the halfway mark. Armageddon is a separate issue.

Please consider Revelation 20:7-8. Gog (Satan, the root) and Magog (his people) are at war with God at the end of the millennium. The Gog/Magog war presented in Scripture is the destruction by fire of the wicked (also see Malachi 4:1-3):

Revelation 20:7-8 KJV

And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

Another thought. Does not 1 Thessalonians say we will me Christ “in the air”? Consider:

1 Thessalonians 4:17 KJV

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Surely Jesus is not coming to set up His kingdom on the carcass of human kingdoms? Daniel 2 tells us man’s civilization’s will be swept away before the Lord descends to touch the earth as described in Zechariah 14:

Daniel 2:35 KJV

Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

Zechariah 14:4 KJV

And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

Zechariah 14:12 KJV

And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

Blessings.

The Gog of Magog war precedes the 7 yrs of Jacob's trouble, and the allies listed as part of that war came together about 5 yrs ago, having been enemies for ages. It's what sets the stage for the call for the global leader (man of perdition)to quell the violence and chaos. The destruction after the millennium is prophesied in Revelation, but those are entirely separate events.

The Zechariah events describe a nuclear event, which Revelation tells us the Jews will be cleaning up for 7 mos, after the Gog of Magog war.

To fully understand 1 Thess 4, we need tonread that in the context of Paul's follow-up letter 2nd Thess. 2. He brings more details as prompted by the Holy Spirit.

And, inevitably, - despite the blatent absurdity of it - even more US lives will be lost. Service men and women - regardless of their political beliefs - will bravely lay down their lives.

For US.

Again.

Why am I not surprised that the words of Christ are true. War will continue until the end its regrettable but must take place. May God not stop this, because He said this is what He will do in the end times, may God use these calamities He is bringing to bring people to Christ as the world will from bad to worse.

Can we see now that peace in the middle east can not achieved by human efforts, that since Israel rejected Jesus, they would embrace another messiah to bring peace. The antichrist.

This war and wars will set up the world to embrace the antichrist as an imitation messiah for Isreal and the world. He does this with signs and wonders and the whole world runs to him and away from the extreme chaos that is just beginning.

Well said Daniel H Benson.

Of course Americans died - many Israelis are dual nationals but the US should do nothing to protect them. They have chosen to live outside of the US in one of the most ruthless regimes in the world.

I've also read that funding for the Hamas attack was partially funded by Iran - you remember, the country that we just released six billion dollars to for a prisoner exchange?

Sir, you're confusing timelines, and "cherry picking" scriptures to fit that infused timeline. Revelation 20 comes well after Armageddon, and the Gog of Magog wars. We stand at the point right now, when we should be listening for the trumpets and shouts announcing the Bridegroom has come for us; in fact Rosh Hoshannah is the next feast day to become fulfilled in Jesus' life, and I believe that is what the fulfillment will be: calling His bride. Whether we were to be here for any part of the Magog war was "up for grabs" in terms of the Church's location for it. That could go either way. All that must be in place 1st now is, for the rapture to occur. The Magog war is to create sufficient chaos to convince the "masses" to clamor for the 1world leader (man of perdition), and NWO gov't. It's the leading "bookend" to the 7 yrs of Jacob's Trouble, aka the Tribulation; Armageddon, to which Jesus will lead the hosts of heaven and saints, after His return to the Mount of Olives, is the other "bookend" closing out those judgments on humanity, whereupon Satan and friends will be consigned to the bottomless pit for that millennium. The final judgment comes at the end of that millennium, with hell, the new heavens and Earth, and the new Jerusalem.

As long as Hamas and Hezbullah exist sponsored by Iran, there will be no peace deal. They do not want a divided state they want Israel gone from the face of the earth.

<"Ominously, the Pentagon has already announced that U.S. forces are being moved into a position to intervene if things get out of hand….">

I believe this is where we inquire whose side they might be reinforcing?
