On the contrary, truly understanding eschatology is certainly a SURVIVAL issue.
If you do not know what to WATCH for, your will not be WATCHING and be caught unawares.

Not only that, it is clear that Lord Jesus is using conscientious WATCHFULNESS as a "filter" to discriminate those who TRULY study and then believe on His word from those who are unbelieving and heedless.

Then the awful consequences.

Rev 3:3
Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

I take it these will be shocked to discover that they "missed the rapture", as they were not PREPARING for the soon arrival of the Bridegroom.

*****************************************

Luk 19:44
“and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”

The Israelites should have known the prophetic timetable per Daniel the Prophet's and others writings. Yet they CHOSE to remain heedless and willfully ignorant. So it shall be in the "imminent rapture" and "end-times", to which we are drawing inexorably near.

Luk 12:35
“Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning;

Luk 12:36
“and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately.

Luk 12:37
“Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them.

Luk 12:39
“But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.

Luk 12:40
“Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”

Luk 12:45
“But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and be drunk,

Luk 12:46
“the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

Watchfulness means guarding against doing the works of the flesh. Prophecy fetish is a distraction from walking in the spirit
 
Incredible that the Gulf states absorb these homicidal nonsensical attacks as non-belligerents, yet refuse to declare war against Iran.
"projectiles fired at the UAE: 2,285"


It's not incredible because the inbred Gulf monarchs know their grip on power is tenuous and could quickly disappear if the people rise up and overthrow their oppression.
 
Sounds more feasible and realistic. There's no way, IMO, that the US would be so dumb as to try to navigate the Hormuz Strait to get to Kharg Island, which is up near Kuwait; and the US has been trying to agitate separatists in the Baluchistan area of Iran for a long time.

Israeli propagandists now: "I doubt that [Israel] would waste [nuclear weapons] on Iran now."
Israel: *Uses nuclear weapons on Iran to try to get out of the illegal war it started without paying the war reparations owed*
Israeli propagandists later: "Israel's nuclear attack on Iran is clearly fulfillment of bible prophesy from 2000 years ago, as referenced in the following scriptures..."

Satan's ultimate purpose is to replace the Kingdom of God. In order to do that, he must have control of both the church and the nation of Israel.

Jeremiah 33: 19-22
"And the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: “This is what the LORD says: If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that day and night cease to occupy their appointed time, then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant and with My ministers the Levites who are priests, so that David will not have a son to reign on his throne. As the hosts of heaven cannot be counted and as the sand on the seashore cannot be measured, so too will I multiply the descendants of My servant David and the Levites who minister before Me.”

Jeremiah 31:35 & 36
Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for light by day, who sets in order the moon and stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the LORD of Hosts is His name: “Only if this fixed order departed from My presence, declares the LORD, would Israel’s descendants ever cease to be a nation before Me.”…

Last I checked, the moon and stars are out and the sun rose this morning. One day, that will change. The new heavens and new earth will need no natural light. Then all distinctions between Israel and gentiles will be erased. Until then, Israel exists as "the nation formed in one day".

Israel is unique. It survives and thrives, 8 million Jews in an ocean of 400 million plus hostile Muslims. Only God can give that kind of protection.


Israel sits on 1% of the land in the ME. When we were kids we had a globe. My father would put his thumb over Israel and ask us to find it. That is how small Israel is. Indeed, only God can give that kind of protection, as you say. Thanks for the post, it's informative.
 
I believe national Israel lost it's "chosen people" status, when they rejected the Lord Jesus as the Messiah. The Bible says something like, "He came onto His own and they rejected Him so He went to the gentiles"

There are Bible verses that say, "there are no Jews or Gentiles" in the Lord Jesus. We are all One. So I can't see how anyone can get around such verses and claim that the Israel of old has a special relationship with the Lord that us Gentiles don't.

My pastor said as he pointed to all of us "you are the Israel of God". I haven't found anything in the bible to refute what he said, so I go along with his view.
Where in the covenant they had with God does it explain what God will do if they disobey Him?
 
At the moment Israel is getting pummeled by Hezbollah in Lebanon, an IDF commander just publicly stated that the IDF is on the verge of collapse, Israel has virtually run out of air defense missiles so that Iran can pretty much hit it at will, and Israel is a very small country that Iran, Yemen and Hezbollah could make unlivable in short order. When Israel resorts to nuclear weapons in order to save itself from destruction are you going to be saying that God saved it?

If Israel ceases to exist, then that would make God a liar.

Not quite yet. But soon.....
And since you are not WATCHFUL, and distain and scorn prophecy continually, I fully expect that you will experience the full brunt of these dire predicaments. Your gleeful scorn will be turned into ghastly remorse and regret. Too bad so sad.

Zec 14:12
And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem:
Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet,
Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets,
And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.

Eze 38:8
After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.

Eze 38:9
Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.

Eze 38:14
Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?

Eze 38:16
And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

Eze 39:1
Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

Eze 39:2
And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:

Eze 39:4
Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

Agree. God searches the hearts. Anyone claiming to be a Christian but not interested in the signs indicating the soon return of the Lord Jesus, that sounds like a heart issue to me.

So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.

Eze 39:23
And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.

Eze 39:25
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;

Eze 39:28
Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.

Eze 39:29
Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

A proud, obstinate heart, willfully ignorant, that despises the elder brother Israel.

This will end badly for them I'm afraid.
 


True Believer you need to worry about your own problems. Canada is in deep trouble. You are losing your freedoms by the day. You and HeisHere ought to be in prayer about that instead of on here screaming about Americans and the president. You have a wolf in sheep's clothing in your PM, he's dragging the country down a very dangerous path and yet you're here day by day screaming about the US. I think you need to take the blinders off. And fast.
 
IMO you're really a sick, lost person if you think nuclear weapons are a miracle of God.

So when God said go in and level everything to the ground and kill even the animals, you think God was sick to do that? America used them on Japan, were they sick? If they refuse to live in peace what would you do any better than God did??

The only prophecy that needs to be paid attention to concerning these last days is the book of Revelation. All OT prophecies are useful for instruction and edification concerning the faithfulness of God to bring his words to pass, but not to discern what is happening now.

I'd like to see some scripture that specifically says those that don't believe end times events correctly will burn in hell.

Obviously if someone ends up taking the mark of the beast they'll burn, but aside from that where are we told that those who do not understand end times event correctly before they happen will go to hell?
