Is Israel on the verge of an apocalyptic war prophesied in Bible?

Take Hosea 2 for instance. God divorces His wife Israel, but He takes her back.
God has not moved publicaly in power the way he did in the OT, since Jesus.

Jesus will take them back, if...

currently almost none of them have.

for the reasons plainly explained in reply #18

i would go further and say there's a massive pedophelia problem too.

Even if God does preserve a third of the people during some kind of nuclear war level destruction (fulfilling the Zechariah prophecies).. they all have to repent and be born again. Perhaps witnessing the total destruction of their nation will open their eyes to the fact that God didn't preserve it, or possibly have anything to do with its creation!

In my opinion based on 12 years of interacting with thousands of people.. I tend to believe 2-4% know God. i see no reason why it won't be the same ratio for the folks living in Israel today, which the vast majority of are not genetically from abraham, which is a whole nother can of worms.

I honestly don't know if God prefers a certain blood line or not. i'm not here to judge. i've personally experienced knowledge of what happens when you form a covenant with a woman and become one flesh. I strongly think there will be a litteral 144,000 Christian virgin men from the "12 tribes" whatever that means today i don't know.

But they will not be anything like the orthodox rabbis today.. probably more like the essenes and John the baptist.

Israel has slaughtered more christians in Gaza than were killed in the attack last year. God is not mocked... they will easily, reap 7 fold for this again...
From what I'm seeing in the bible,the people in Israel will kill plenty more christians.Some even their own family members.

"egypt" and "assyria" may not be physical nations these days, but rather what seems to be fundamental irreconcilable differences between different cultures that persist across all of africa and the middle east.

God may be saying he is going to fix all these problems and muslims who worship the antichrist spirit of allah will discover their differences with YHWH wasn't all that great in the first place and it was all a 3000 year long spiritual deception.

i've witnessed a form of this in real life. if my dad didn't know my moms's sisters husband was muslim.. they would discover they are 2 peas in a pod on just about everything they actually believe in.
The promised land extends from the Euphrates river to the Nile.The five cities of Egypt in Isaiah would be east of the Nile.

The rest of Egypt will be desolate for 40 years.No foot of man or beast will pass through it.Thats what happens after the king of the north armed forces use the abomination that causes desolation .

Daniel 11
42 He will extend his power over many countries; Egypt will not escape.
43 He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and all the riches of Egypt, with the Libyans and Cushites[e] in submission.
44 But reports from the east and the north will alarm him, and he will set out in a great rage to destroy and annihilate many

God will have mercy on the remnant of Israel, one third, and He will pour His Spirit on them, and they will finally see who they pierced on the cross and repent. This will happen at the end of the 7 year tribulation.

This is the same merce every born again Christian received.

Do you love despicable people?
There are few people who love a despicable person yet you believe everyone loves a vile man.The man of sin.

You should study more about the man of sin.


And for your information ,2 these says we will not be gathered together to Christ at his coming untill after a falling away and the man of sin is revealed whom Christ shall consume at his coming.

This corresponds to Daniel 11:45-12:2 which shows the man of sin coming to his end when the resurection and rapture take place.

I hope you don't consider yourself a teacher because you would be deceiving people if you were.

Daniel 11:45-12:2
And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
None of which you have posted shows that Trump is the antichrist.

2 Tes 2:7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed

The lawless one will be revealed once the rapture happens. No one knows who he is. This is a mystery today.

Antichrist will come as a hero, as a peacemaker. He will be someone who osn, nato and all the western alliances will welcome with a handclap. He isn't someone who the world today already hates. The antichrist will be someone who deceives the nation of Israel and will sign a peace treaty with them. And then after 3.5 years he will sit in the temple of God in Jerusalem and call himself God and Israel will finally reject him.

All of this doesn't fit Trump or any of the world leaders today.

Egypt and Assyria could be reference to their broader meaning, in that Egypt is identified in scripture as the land of Ham. (i.e. about all peoples through Ham, Shem, and Japheth.)

However, it may also refer to the location and whatever country is there now... since there will be a highway and everything.

UK ministers are drawing up plans to evacuate 60,000 Britons from Israel amid fears Iran could launch an attack - with the Navy already on stand-by for a 'Dunkirk-style' rescue mission to save 16,000 Brits stranded in Lebanon​

False.
The man of sin is a despicable person .

Daniel 11:21
The next to come to power will be a despicable man who is not in line for royal succession. He will slip in when least expected and take over the kingdom by flattery and intrigue.


The reason you don't know anything about the man of sin is because you haven't read about him described by Daniel.
You know all of his predecessors but you ignore the prophecy concerning them as well.

But you insist everyone loves a despicable man.If anyone loves him ,it would be the Israeli government because of all the things he does for them in the bible including moving his embassy to Jerusalem.

Yes,I believe it's nuclear.Alot of them.

Zech 14
12 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.


Only the Lord could save anyone from such a weapon.And if he doest save someone ,then they would be toast.Like a giant lake of fire in the sky.



Revelation 6
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

Yes, and he will deceive many. He would deceive the elect if it was possible.
The reason he will deceive many is because he will bring false peace.

Revelation 6:2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.
At the beginning of the tribulation, the Antichrist will be given authority (“a crown”), and he will wage war (“a bow”), conquering all who oppose him. The antichrist coming on the earth will look like a lamb, like the messiah. This coming world leader, the Antichrist, will come at an economically difficult time. There will be war in different parts of the world, and he—through brilliant political moves along with an incredible charisma—will be able to do what no one else has ever done: bring economic stability to the world’s monetary system and bring world peace. By establishing this peace, he will deceive many. He will even convince the Jewish nation and the Arab nations to sign a peace treaty, paving the way for the long-awaited third temple.

He is already saying he will bring peace and he also has said he is the only one who can keep Israel safe.

Scripture does not say a third temple will be built during the man of sins reign.It does say he moves his embassy to Jerusalem though.

2 Thess 2 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

Daniel 9 26 And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed. 27 And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.” - there will be sacrifices again, which the antichrist will put a stop to. Therefore there has to be a temple in Jerusalem again for these sacrifices.

Israelis are making sacrifices today for their king they have chosen for themselves.

They will be happy for the host by which those sacrifices are taken away.There are many who do not wish to sacrifice and say they would rather be sent to prison.

There is no sacrifices without the temple.

The 7 years of tribulation haven't started yet, as the Church is still here on Earth.

Your eschatology is way off

The daily sacrifice will be abolished after the second beast is given to Israel by the king of he north.It will exorcise all the power of the Israeli governorment on its behalf.


Revelation 13
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

There is no sacrificing without the temple. What some Israelites call sacrifices today are not sacrifices.

And you keep ignoring 2 Thess 2 4 'who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.' This verse clearly shows the antichrist will sit in the temple of God which currently does not stand.

The antichrist is not in power yet, the Church is still on Earth, the 7 year tribulation has not started yet, otherwise all Christians all over the world would be persecuted to death, which they are not. Israel is currently not at peace as they will be in the first half of the tribulation, as they are at war today.

Btw, revelation 4 and onwards has not happened yet.

Well,you believe the temple of God is a stone building in Jerusalem .

That's part of your problem right there.
Paul never taught the temple of God is the building you believe unbelievers build.

The temple of God is the building Christ builds.

1 corinth 3

16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
