Not to turn this thread -- political .... but ....
The Mass Revolt going on in Lebanon right now ... shows the entire region is becoming a "powder keg".....
No predictions on the timing -- but looks like the fuse is lit.....
Hello friends, kjs , Brother I can't even begin to tell you how much i wish/ hope you are right. I have changed my view 180 on several end times issues. I think an attack on Israel, or a ginormous EMP or actual construction of the temple would cause many watchmen to be unified, that it was a water- breaking event. kjs , you mentioned the fuse has been lit. Do i understand you correctly in that you also think there will be some kind of warning before the harpazo/rapture? Disciple4Life To me -- saying the fuse has been lit ... I am using the idea that the "revolt" is a "powder keg" (or bomb) and just like when you see bombs in movies the "fizzle light show" follows a line to the bomb....
I am NOT saying there is some type of sign .... saying the harpazo/rapture will happen at this time or in this way....
I do think the harpazo/rapture will occur as a "surprise" -- or as the Bible says "A thief in the night" ...............
BUT we can see hints that that time is coming ... and I feel all the unrest over in that region (all the while the Governments are saying Peace and Security {hello UN}) says we are getting mighty close....

[/div] hello kjs- I hear you saying we'll know that it's close, like contractions, or to use the fuse in the movies, the explosion is imminent. But, my brother, Paul wrote explicitly in 1 Thes that we [ Christians are "children of the day so that Day should NOT SURPRISE US LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT." Wouldn't you agree?? 😉 [Paul was using a well known Hebrew idiom for the High Priest here.] The ones who are surprised are the children of darkness. NonChristians. Multiple passages by Paul align with multiple passages by Christ that we wont be surprised, and the In the parable of the 10 bridesmaids [ a clear rapture passage]🤔 Christ said that the 5 bridesmaids were foolish because they knew not the hour] Cheers. Your Scots-Irish-French-Jewish-American brother in Tennessee. Disciple4Life

D4L, KJ - we are close no doubt. We will not be surprised if with tomorrow came our Lord, would we? Okay maybe a little but we expect Him.
NonChristians - look at the focus of the work around us. Yes they will most certainly be caught off guard

Update on what is going on: Headline - Syrian Kurds: Turkey ‘Continuing Its Genocide War’ Despite Ceasefire www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2019/10/25/syrian-kurds-turkey-continuing-its-genocide-war-despite-ceasefire/From link - Turkey “is continuing its genocide war” in northern Syria despite an allegedly “permanent” ceasefire, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a U.S.-allied coalition largely made up of Kurdish fighters, alleged on Thursday. Turkey invaded Syrian Kurdistan (Rojava) in early October as part of “Operation Peace Spring,” a plan to eradicate the indigenous Kurdish presence of that territory to create a “safe zone” for mostly Arab Syrian refugees stranded in Turkey. The SDF and associated Kurdish administrators have condemned the plan as a form of ethnic cleansing, as the end goal would be a dramatic demographic change for the region. After hours of discussion this week, Islamist Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan emerged from a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin with the announcement of an agreement: the Russians would secure Kurdish areas and Turkey agreed to end the invasion if the Syrian Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG/YPJ) left those areas. Turkey considers the YPG indistinguishable from the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), a U.S.-designated Marxist terrorist organization active in southern Turkey. YPG fighters comprise a large percentage of the SDF and did much of the work in annihilating the Islamic State “caliphate” in Syria. The SDF expelled ISIS from Raqqa, its “capital,” in 2018 with U.S. air support. Turkey has for years stood accused of harboring ISIS terrorists and giving them easy access to the Syrian war theater. "Operation Peace Spring” is a joint operation with the Free Syrian Army (FSA), a coalition of mostly Arab fighters created to wage war against Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad with significant help from former President Barack Obama. Interesting that Obama's name is mentioned. His hands are definitely "dirty" (politically, militarily, financially) in this conflict and in many ways sparked this coming war. My opinion is that basically at some point Bahshar al-Assad is going to be eliminated or side-lined. Either by Israel as a show of force to stop the offensive or by his so-called "allies". They may feel he needs to be taken out of the way to continue the offensive toward Israel.

This should be paid very close attention to. Look at where these are located. In all the areas of turkey they could be located or have been placed a, they are directly north of Israel. The US has moved 40 bombs in 20 years and there are 50 left. Turkey may be pretending to be an ally, but they are not and want Israel wiped off the map. We also in the past trained Turkey on how to use them. It’s very dangerous to try and move them by air. Each bomb holds 10 times the yield of what was dropped on Hiroshima and there are 50 of them which would be equivalent to 500 Hiroshima bombs. I found this map on an article I read about this situation. Erdogan is going to make it very difficult for those bombs to go anywhere.

Conflict in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea eschatologytoday.blogspot.com/From link - 3 December 2019: Last week Turkey and the Government of National Accord (GNA) in Tripoli, Libya signed a military pact that essentially divides the whole Eastern Mediterranean Sea between them. Eschatology Today will refer to this pact as the 'Istanbul Accord.' As if the Middle East didn't need another point of conflict that could spark a war between two supposed NATO allies (Greece and Turkey), the Turkish government of Recep Tayyip Erdogan with a single stroke of their pen annexed a massive swath of the Greek economic zone. UPDATE 8 December 2019: On the sidelines of the NATO Summit in London last week, direct talks between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Greek President Kyriakos Mitsotakis failed to find a resolution to the Eastern Mediterranean Sea exclusive economic zone (EEZ) crisis. No great surprise here, as the Greeks have noted to the international community, there isn't a neighboring country on any Turkish border that is not in a bilateral conflict with Turkey. By way of publication in the Turkish Government's Official Gazette and ratification by the Turkish Parliament, the Istanbul Accord, a maritime exclusive economic zone agreement between Turkey and Libya's internationally recognized GNA government in Tripoli, Libya went into effect yesterday to divide the Eastern Mediterranean Sea between them. Erdogan also announced yesterday that accord has been delivered to the United Nations by Turkey. Greece, which views the Accord as a violation of its sovereign rights and having no legal standing in international law, expelled the Libyan GNA Ambassador Mohamed Menfi. Ambassador Menfi has until Monday to depart from Greece. For his part, Greek President Mitsotakis said the Turkish move in denying Greek sovereignty over its many islands has placed Turkey in "unprecedented diplomatic isolation." Greece has announced it will use military force to immediately halt any Turkish oil or gas drilling in the sea southeast of Crete. The application of a European Union sanctions regime against Turkey is also imminent. More evidence that the Ezekiel 38 players are lining up. Here Turkey signing pact with Libya. Scroll down in the link above a bit and you can see map graphics showing the current recognized international sea boundaries and Turkey's imposed boundary. With all the sanctions against Turkey and Iran now, and those I think will continue to come, how much longer can it be before they are pushed to the boiling point and start this war we are watching for.

Update from Eschatology Today from last week. Turkish army advances in Idlib. eschatologytoday.blogspot.com/from link - 12 February 2020: Once again we're back with an eye on Syria. The situation there continues to deteriorate. Aside from the IAF strikes in recent days against Iranian encroachment, which the Russians say could lead to all-out war between Syria and Israel with Russia supporting Syria, we also have the increasing likelihood of all-out war between Turkey and Syria. And where else would this erupt in full but in the same general locale as we've been looking at for some time now - northwest Syria, the province of Idlib. Remember how Jeremiah 49:23-27 specifically identified this region! And the Turkish leadership also threatens today to attack Syrian forces anywhere in Syria, including Damascus. Wars and rumors of war.

Interesting development in Syria. So while the world is distracted by COVID-19, Syria, or more importantly, Damascus may be back in play. Enough to cause it's destruction? Things are converging. Headline: Has Syria reactivated its chemical-weapons program? www.israelhayom.com/2020/03/11/has-syria-reactivated-its-chemical-weapons-program/From link - Syrian media reports of Israeli airstrikes, allegedly launched early on March 5 in central and southern Syria, may be a sign that Damascus has renewed its chemical-weapons program. According to Yedioth Ahronoth, one of the targets hit in central Syria is believed to have been a chemical-weapons production facility. If this is indeed the case, the Syrian regime has gone back to its wicked ways and continues to be active in developing chemical weapons, despite past efforts by the international community to disband Damascus' program, Professor Eyal Zisser, a lecturer in the Middle East History Department at Tel Aviv University, told Jewish News Syndicate on Sunday. There have been concerns among international observers that Syria has restarted its chemical program. The regime led by Syrian President Bashar Assad has repeatedly used chemical weapons against its own Sunni citizens to conduct mass slaughter throughout the civil war. Other targets hit in the strikes attributed to Israel appeared to include terror-cell positions in southern Syria, which Iran and Hezbollah were setting up as part of their long-term effort to create strike capabilities against Israel.

Heating up in Syria. Headline: UPDATE 4 May 2020: A simple and to the point update. Israel is now striking Iranian military targets in Syria with regularity and impunity, from the Iraqi border to the Lebanese border. eschatologytoday.blogspot.com/From link - 4 May 2020: The Iranian-Russian issue (discussed below) has another facet: the Iranian Twelver regime holds a much higher level of influence over the al-Assad regime than Russia does. In fact, Syria has become openly defiant against Russia's demands for returns on its investment in saving the regime from being overthrown. Chalk up the Syria-Iran alliance and defiance of Russia to the Shi'a-Alawi brotherhood. Alawi's adhere to the teachings of the 12th imam, Ali, making them a sect of Shi'a Islam. There are also increasing reports of American and Russian military tensions in northern Syria, mainly in the Tall Tamr and Qamishli region. In the first incident a fist fight erupted between American and Russian troops, with some Russians being on a medevac for hospital treatment. In the second and third confrontations, at Qamishli and Tall Tamr respectively, the two used their armored vehicles to block the other side from continuing its patrol. As this was occurring a heavy aircraft presence above kept close tabs on what the boots on the ground were doing. Syria is rapidly deteriorating under such tensions. The Damascus government has little, if any, effective control over the entire northern and northeastern regions.... Scroll down in the link and there is more in the update from May 3rd - ... Eschatology Today is once again leaning forward in considering the possibility of a Russian leader wrongly blaming Israel again in the near future for the coming devastation of Damascus and of all Syria, a devastation brought about by the Shia Twelver's and their apocalyptic, Mahdi-hastening eschatology. Such devastation of Syria would necessarily result in massive if not crippling economic and military loses for Russia. Could this be the real-world origin for the evil thoughts and "hooks" placed into the jaws of Ezekiel 38:4, for the desire to invade and to take plunder and despoil an Israel at peace, living securely with no one presenting a threat?

Weapons build up continues... eschatologytoday.blogspot.com/From link - UPDATE 2 June 2020: Each tick of the clock these days brings a new item, and each new item brings fulfillment of Bible prophecy that much closer. Here are the latest ticks worth mentioning. An overwhelming number of Middle East observers now agree that IAF combat aircraft (likely a pair of F-35I Adir) conducted a strike Sunday afternoon on a vehicular convoy of Iranian proxy militiamen near Albukamal, Deir Ezzor province, Syria. At least five foreign militiamen serving Iran were killed. Russia has deployed one of its newest main battle tanks, the T-14 Armata, onto the Syrian battlefield. Along with these tanks the Russians have also deployed their newest anti-air laser weapons system, known as the Peresvet, for operational combat testing. The Peresvet is a near clone of the U.S. Navy's AN/SEQ-3 Laser Weapons System (LaWS) and is credited with the recent shoot-down of an Israeli reconnaissance drone flying in Syrian airspace just north of the Golan. Upgraded Russian MiG-29 were delivered to the Syrian Arab Air Force (SAAF) on 30 May at Hmeimim Air Base. The SAAF intends to use them to engage and shoot down the IAF F-16I Sufa strike aircraft. SAAF pilots commenced flying the MiG-29's yesterday. A massive amount of armor of Syrian Arab Army (SAA) as well as Hezbollah and other Iranian proxy militia are prepped for an imminent full-scale offensive in the Daraa, Syria region (northeast of the Golan) against a rebel resurgence there. Israel will take a very dim view of such an offensive.

Military personnel build up continues... Headline: Despite Israeli strikes, Iranian forces massing on Syrian border Tens of thousands of Iranian-linked militiamen have been integrated into Syrian army - with many of them now stationed near Israeli border. www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/281473?fbclid=IwAR2Mc6BVrjubFKaFIHRnk1RAZ_mIkOOdZLhsl6A_hBm8-ozdRUYbKB3Y3sEFrom link - Former Israeli Defense Minister Naftali Bennett reported in May that Iran was withdrawing some of its forces from Syria but sources inside the country put this claim to test over the weekend. Instead of withdrawing forces Iran has simply changed its tactics in the devastated country. According to Iranian analyst Mostafa Najafi, a staggering 53,000 Iranian-backed militia members have merged into the army of dictator Bashar al-Assad and are still present along the border with Israel wearing Syrian army uniforms. “In times of crisis, Iran has shown that it is prone to change tactics, instead of strategies,” Najafi said. The Iranian-backed forces are now preparing for a large-scale offensive in the Dara’a Province that borders on Jordan and the Yarmouk basin on the Golan Heights other Syrian sources told Iran Wire. The city of Dara’a was the scene of the first uprising by Sunni Syrians against al-Assad and has again been the scene of violence this time directed at the Iranian forces recently. According to these sources “Iranian elements in the Syrian regime’s army” have been pushing for the offensive under the excuse that the Syrian army is still fighting the Islamic State group which has no presence anymore near the Golan Heights. The Iranians and their allies, among them Hezbollah from Lebanon, have taken over Syrian government buildings and civilian homes forcing the owners of these properties to flee with their families. According to the same Syrian sources the Iranians and their allies have set up camp right next to the Israeli border disguised as Syrian soldiers and using Syrian army vehicles in an attempt to avoid Israeli strikes. The Russians are aware of this development and attend meetings by the General Syrian staff but didn’t lift a finger to stop the deployment of Iranian troops along the Israeli and Jordanian border.
