End time prophecy has always facsinated me. Many good bible scholars have put together a time line and I've heard thousands of teachings concerning the events.
The one good thing I've learned that's it's not what we think of as in a super natural intervention of God.
Yes God is in complete control of the events and timing but it is the hand of man and his stone of a heart that bring on the destruction.
The further we stray from the Lord the more darkness and evil prevails.
Western bible teaching teach of prophecy as a event that has happened and it's effect.
The old testament shows the causes leading up to prophecies fulfilled. In other words there is a repetition that God follows.
For example the 4 horseman are not new to the scene they have been in almost every pre judgement.
Israel again is the focal point specifically Jerusalem. The temple mount .
This is God's people and God's land and cursed are the ones who divides it and speak against it. Let alone try to destroy it.
Israel has been a light although dim at times to the whole world. Some people may not agree to that but the history of the Jewish nation speaks loud and clear that there is a All mighty God.
Where great empires have gone to rubble the nation Israel remains.
While scattered to the 4 corners on the earth hunted and killed for there faith Israel remains.
Now the gathering back to the promised land surrounded by there enemies Israel will remain.
I think as Peter did there is no greater word of truth than prophecy....Israel remains.
To the op who started this thread keep up the good work
