Islam attacks Israel

[keras]

I am sorry keras. The Seals are tough. They span a long number of years. When they're opened, they take their time to transpire. They are progressive. They couldn't be opened at Jesus' Ascension

The first five Seals were opened at Jesus Ascension. We have had all the terrible wars, ghastly famines, shocking plagues and disastrous ecomonic crashes. Then all the Christian martyrs since Steven, prove it.

The Sixth Seal was opened in 2018/2019. Great earthquake, seismos, a great "storm" on the sea of many nations and peoples and tongues. A commotion, a great shaking.

What nonsense and wishful thinking!
When did the clearly Prophesied cosmic things happen?

No: we await the Sixth Seal world changer, Could be tomorrow, as the sun is in an active phase at present.

Unless the censer is cast down, and we're in the night when no man can work. The Gospel has been preached to all nations, we are in the end of it, the end which has come. Everyone living is either sealed with the seal of God, or has the mark of the beast. The Two Witnesses saw to it. The only variable is the new babies born, the elect infants mentioned in the Westminster confession of faith. Some of them are our brothers and our fellow servants. None of this will make sense to you if you think human survivors will populate a millennium on earth.

This is unintelligible.
Mortal humans will populate the Millennium. Isaiah 65:20

the lost ten tribes going back to Old Time Jerusalem to meet Jesus.

Basically, yes; that is what will happen. It has to, in order for God to fulfil His Promises to the Patriarchs.
Only the House of Judah is there at present. We Christians are the House of Israel, the people that Jesus came to save; He was successful!

Yes; No one can alter what God has planned, to clear and cleanse all of the holy Land. Deuteronomy 32:34-43, Zephaniah 1:14-28, Hosea 4:3, +

My point is posting news items, is to show the futility of humans to resolve the hopeless situation as it is now in the Middle East,
The ONLY way it and the world can be corrected, a world once again as in the days of Noah, is by Divine intervention.

This forthcoming reset of our civilization by a worldwide disaster sent by the Lord, is fully and comprehensively described by over 100 Prophesies.
Why don't people know about it and be prepared for it? Ample Bible Prophecy tells us what will trigger it and what we must do when it happens.

Which is why I found the overarching message of that post to be very, VERY strange for you.

For example, I found your opening comment:

The recent Iranian missile attack on Israel demands a response. Failure to exact a significant price could embolden Iran to normalize such attacks and gradually escalate their intensity.

To be polar opposite to your latest comment above:

No one can alter what God has planned, to clear and cleanse all of the holy Land.

How do you square that circle?

How could ANYTHING Israel does to "exact a significant price" accomplish anything to stave off what you assert is coming?

What would be the different outcome to the one "God has planned" if Israel "failed to respond" in the way you assert the situation "demands"?

If there is truly nothing Israel can do to alter the course of what is coming, how can you assert the situaton "demands" they respond in a certain way?

That's the circle I'd like you to square.

Prophesies like Ezekiel 34:11-16, prove the importance of the holy Land. It is our Christian destiny and reward.

First - Paul Williamson teaches Old Testament at Moore Theological College - part of Sydney University - which teaches Sydney Anglican candidates that become Ministers and future Reverends. He KNOWS the Old Testament. In his survey of Old Testament prophesies he says most are about the military conquests God ALREADY threw at various nations in history.

“While the Old Testament portrays God as the righteous judge of all the earth (cf. Gen 18:25; 1Sam 2:10; 1Chr 16:33) who holds both individuals and nations accountable for their actions (e.g., Deut 32:41; Psa 110:6; Job 19:29; Eccl 3:17; 11:9; Ezek 33:20; Jer 25:31; Joel 3:2), such divine judgment — often referred to as “the day of the LORD” or simply “that day” — is usually confined to the historical realm (i.e., military overthrow, physical curse and/or death); seldom, if ever, does it refer to a final, eschatological or eternal judgment. Some texts may arguably allude to such (e.g., Psa 1:5; Eccl 3:17; 11:9; 12:14), but the closest we get to a final assize in the Old Testament is the scene in Daniel 7, where the Ancient of Days presides over a heavenly court at which books are opened, the terrifying fourth beast is destroyed in blazing fire, and the eternal kingdom is given to God’s holy people. Arguably the same scenario is portrayed somewhat differently in Daniel 12, where those sleeping in the dust of the earth awake — some to glory and everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. In any case, there is little doubt that both these texts inform the New Testament’s portrayal of the ultimate Day of the Lord and the final judgment.” The Final Judgment​

Second - CONTEXT: To understand Old Testament prophecies we’ve got to understand their immediate context. Some chapters within some biblical books have phases within them. They’re groups of chapters all making a similar point - so which phase of the book are we in? Similarly, which book of the bible is it - and which group of books does it sit in? What is happening to Israel at that moment? Is there some internal or external threat? Then we pan back the camera a little more - and ask where is this book in the larger story of salvation history?

That context for Ezekiel? Even the wiki gets it right.

”The Abrahamic religions acknowledge Ezekiel as a prophet. According to the narrative, Ezekiel prophesied the destruction of Judah's capital city Jerusalem. Then in 587 BCE, the Babylonian empire conquered Jerusalem, destroyed Solomon's Temple, and sent the Jewish upper classes into the Babylonian captivity. However, Ezekiel also prophesied the eventual restoration of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel. It is believed he died around 570 BCE; Ezekiel's Tomb is the most important Jewish religious site in Mesopotamia. Three decades later in 539 BCE, the Persian empire conquered Babylon and the Edict of Cyrus repatriated the Jews in the return to Zion.​

The name "Ezekiel" means "God is strong" or "God strengthens" in Hebrew.” Ezekiel - Wikipedia​

So it is entirely plausible that Ezekiel’s visions are fulfilled when Persia let the Jewish people go home to rebuild their temple - as history shows they did. Indeed - when the Lord tells Ezekiel that it would soon be time for the Jews to go home to Israel - it should be seen as a fulfilment of the prophecies and promises in Deuteronomy. Moses ‘pep talk’ before they go in to take the land includes the fact that they are such a stubborn people that WHEN (not if) they betray God’s covenant, God will judge Israel using the nations. But even then God will go with them in their punishment, and be with them, and save a remnant that will get to return home.

So Ezekiel’s visions are God announcing he hasn’t forgotten his OLDER prophesies and promises. He is about to fulfil them - within that generation. It’s about God faithfully promising to fulfil ancient prophesies - not new End Times prophesies about something that might happen thousands and thousands of years later! But there are also exciting hints of something else going on. A super-temple is promised and detailed in such perfection, it’s almost heavenly. The author of these videos has a Phd in Hebrew apocalyptic symbolism.

But Romans 9:26 does say that Christians will be in the very same place as the ancient Israelites were when they were exiled.

It's talking about the source of our faith - a fixed point in history that affects all people everywhere depending on how they react to it.
Or are you trying to say that ONLY people who live in Jerusalem will be judged if they reject Jesus? Romans 9:33

33 As it is written:​

​

“See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble​

and a rock that makes them fall,​

and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”​

If we applied this verse in the geographically specific and limited way you want to apply the "Not my people" prophesy - it's so geographically bound that everyone else around the planet has missed out on both salvation and judgement - they only happen in Jerusalem. Instead we see that 1 Peter 2 also fulfils that Prophecy of Hosea. As 1 Peter 1 says - he was writing to all believers scattered across everywhere!

"9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy."​

That time is now and all the past nearly 2000 years. Soon to change, as the Lord clears and cleanses the holy Land and His faithful Christian peoples go to live there. Isaiah 49:19, Jeremiah 33:12-13, Psalms 126:1-5

The New Testament interprets the Old - not the other way around. You are plucking things out of context.

I never said that Jesus wasn't of paramount importance.

I'm glad to hear it. I've never accused you of not being a gospel person. I have pointed out that a new temple is quite heretical and undermines the sense of completeness we have in Christ. I have also been disturbed by the way you want to equate theologians I respect with the Pharisees - with not being saved. Things tend to escalate between us when you do that. But remember in years past when some here have attacked you as maybe not being a gospel person that, I have rushed in to defend you? You are my brother in Christ in a beautiful land I'd love to visit. (My wife and I are "Tolkien Tragics".) If Aussie slobs can be saved by grace, so can Kiwi's.

And why I reject those 'wise' scholars, is because of the plain statement of Jesus in Matthew 11:25-26
They simply do not and cannot know the truths of Prophecy. God has hidden it from them.

Oh boy. I was answering you paragraph by paragraph. You went and did it again. Sorry boss - but as I have said a million(1) times, that is Jesus condemning those who are SO 'wise' in their own eyes that they cannot even recognise the Saviour standing in front of them, the Messiah who is their rightful king. And so they killed him!

I don't think you can apply that verse to any theologian who threatens your precious little blog. They are gospel people - saved by the same Spirit you have.

If you're going to be 'provocative' about some of the great theologians alive today or who have recently gone to meet our Lord - then I guess I'm allowed to point out that generally speaking - they don't have time for your little blog. They're about reading serious people. Not the 'wise' of this world - but serious gospel hearted theologians who actually have a better glimpse of what the bible is about than maybe even they do!

Your blog? It's a dime-a-dozen. Just another End Times Table. While I don't know what your own personal Christian life is - and do not want to comment on that - your End Times theories sound like so many other futurists screaming "Mine! Mine! Mine!" like the penguins out of "Finding Nemo". I just cannot take the whole desperate futurist schema seriously. It sounds too much like Cassandra Complex.

Psychology​

The Cassandra metaphor is applied by some psychologists to individuals who experience physical and emotional suffering as a result of distressing personal perceptions, and who are disbelieved when they attempt to share the cause of their suffering with others.

Oh why oh why won't people just LISTEN to you Keras?

(Um - what do you even want them to do - anyway? Other than sit around endlessly adoring your blog and theories? What does it all mean - what is it you want them to DO?)

When it fails, I hope you are in a well enough place to discuss it like an adult.
----
(1) See how I used "million" there? That's how Hebrews often used thousand - especially when talking about theological concepts like God's faithfulness or his interactions with time.

The whole situation in the Middle East is leading up to a sudden and dramatic event instigated by the Lord. As described in Revelation 6:12-17 and in over100 other Prophesies. If people can't see this forthcoming world changer, then only the Lord can help them.
We are told that this difficulty will be prevalent during the end times. Isaiah 29:9-12, Isaiah 56:10, Revelation 3:3
It is placed over all those who choose to believe false teachings, as part of the winnowing out process. Matthew 3:12

As for right now; Iran is just waiting for the right moment - in fact; for the Appointed day, when they will attempt to nuke Israel. That will be the moment when the Lord will send a massive Electro-Magnetic Pulse, blasted out from the sun to destroy them all. Isaiah 30:26-30 vividly describes it. It CAN happen, It WILL happen.

 

[keras]

Oh why oh why won't people just LISTEN to you Keras?

I do not say this.
The real Prophets were ignored and rejected, so it is for me when I promote what they said.
My precept is in 1 Corinthians 3:18-20. Obviously you think I am a fool, Thanks for that.

what is it you want them to DO?

Read and understand what the Bible prophets actually are telling us.
Have the true knowledge of what the Lord plans for His peoples in the end times.
Keep strong in your faith and trust in the Lords protection in all that is coming.

 

[eclipsenow]

Umm - you realise the winnowing is not between the right eschatological theology - but believers and unbelievers - the saved and the damned? I hope you're not suggesting that your little blog is SO important that people BETTER believe it - OR ELSE!?

As for right now; Iran is just waiting for the right moment - in fact; for the Appointed day, when they will attempt to nuke Israel.

Riiiiiight.

And there I was reading Revelation 6 as one of the many reminders John gives his generation of the fact that the Lord will return and judge them. After all - as they look up they don't cry "Oh my! The sun! This must be God's judgement on us!?" No. But what they see indeed terrifies them - just as it terrified Israel even when hidden behind clouds on a thundering, shaking mountain. The glory of the Lord. Only this time there is no cloud to hide them - and no Moses or Jesus to intercede between them. For it's the end of the ungodly - and the hope of the Christians being persecuted by the Romans.

I know you WANT to read the celestial events as your precious CME - but they're not. They're the Hebrew symbols of cosmic disturbance sometimes even used against Old Testament kingdoms - representing the fact that a change of regime and rule is coming. Here they are being used to indicate those things and more - the wrapping up of this universe. Because what follows is rather unambiguous!

12 I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13 and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. 14 The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.​

​

15 Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16 They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?”​

 

[eclipsenow]

Read and understand what the Bible prophets actually are telling us.

They have. The prophets tell us that God's prophesies against those ancient kingdoms come true.
They happened. In history. Already. As prophesied.

Have the true knowledge of what the Lord plans for His peoples in the end times.

Err - ripping specific prophesies about war against specific kingdoms that were specifically judged at a specific time in history OUT OF CONTEXT and shoving them down THOUSANDS OF YEARS TOO LATE in your so called CME is not 'true knowledge'. It's SciFi. Now - I LOVE a good SciFi novel. Your blog ain't it.

Keep strong in your faith and trust in the Lords protection in all that is coming.

Which is what John was telling his generation.
Which is the message Revelation should be giving to all generations of Christians - when correctly understood. John explains it's to HIS generation because he shares in their tribulation, and the time is near. He wants them to understand it and obey it and take it to heart.

How can they if it's all about nations and things 2000 years later? That's just incomprehensible to them!
In effect - futurists make Revelation utterly irrelevant to the church for 2000 years.

Anyway, when you can disprove that 1 Peter wrote that all Christians everywhere were the chosen people, the people who were once called "not my people" - and yet they enjoyed that status scattered everywhere - then you'll have eliminated just ONE verse that shows your Christian Middle East kingdom hypothesis to be nonsense. There are so, so many more where that came from!

Nothing else can literally fulfil all the clear descriptions of the Day the Lord will change the world. Whether you like it or not.

Perfectly correct, we are scattered now, soon to be gathered into the holy Land, in a great Second Exodus, just as ancient Israel was in the First. Isaiah 66:18b-21 describes it, along with many other Prophesies; Psalms 66:12, Jeremiah 3:14-18, Ezekiel 36:8-12, +

Except all these prophets pretty much describe the same thing with slightly different theological nuances.
That is - Israel (and then Judah's) apostasy, and then the judgements of Israel and Judah - the judgments against those nations that God uses to attack Israel and Judah - and then the return of the Jews to the land before Jesus.

You avoided the facts about what the Lord will use to fulfil His terrible Day of fiery wrath.

The Jews have already returned to a small part of the holy Land. They face Judgment and punishment for their apostasy and continued rejection of Jesus. THEN the Christian peoples will go to live there, John sees them in Revelation 7:9

 

[eclipsenow]

You avoided the facts about what the Lord will use to fulfil His terrible Day of fiery wrath.

You avoid the facts that the ancient prophets were talking about fire coming by war.
Also that a lot of the 'cosmic disturbance' language CANNOT be literal because it involves stars falling to the earth.
Our star alone is a "Yellow Dwarf" - a category they came up with before today's powerful telescopes revealed there were far more red dwarf stars and that ours is actually quite large. But being a 'Yellow Dwarf" our star is 333,000 times larger than the earth. Other red dwarfs are also ridiculously bigger than the earth. And they're NOT going to fall the earth!

In the Old Testament it's a sign of shifts in power, of empires rising and falling.
In the New - it's sometimes a sign of the return of the Lord - (Rev 6) and sometimes possibly a sign of Jesus death on the cross. (But that last example is debated even among theologians I respect.)

The Jews have already returned to a small part of the holy Land. They face Judgment and punishment for their apostasy and continued rejection of Jesus.

Today's Israel has no biblical promises concerning it. It's just another nation. Today is all about the gospel.

THEN the Christian peoples will go to live there, John sees them in Revelation 7:9

Oh please - they're before the throne of the Lamb! They're in heaven. You're obviously not keeping up with how the imagery in Revelation bounces back and forth between events in earth and events in heaven. Your reading of Revelation gets more and more spurious and speculative - and stubbornly disrespectful of the symbolic forms and grammars it uses to pace the action.

 

[keras]

You avoid the facts that the ancient prophets were talking about fire coming by war.

Rubbish; fire and explosives were not used in ancient wars.
Plenty of scripture describes their swords, spears and armour, so fire cannot be allegorised into the ancient warfare methods.

a lot of the 'cosmic disturbance' language CANNOT be literal because it involves stars falling to the earth.

I have explained this many times. 'asters', the word translated as 'stars', refers to any celestial object, incl meteors, comets, asteroids AND our thousands of satellites. Satellites will crash back to earth when the pressure wave of a CME hits them.

In the Old Testament it's a sign of shifts in power, of empires rising and falling.
In the New - it's sometimes a sign of the return of the Lord - (Rev 6) and sometimes possibly a sign of Jesus death on the cross. (But that last example is debated even among theologians I respect.)

I have no respect for theologians who come up with such fanciful ideas. Probably done to gain kudos with their peers and suckers like you.

they're before the throne of the Lamb! They're in heaven

Nowhere in Revelation 7, is heaven mentioned. You have added it.
That chapter sets an earthly scene in the first 3 verses and there is no mention of a change of location.

 

[eclipsenow]

If people can't see this forthcoming world changer, then only the Lord can help them.

Good. I can't see your fantasies in the bible - I see ancient prophets predicting ancient fires started by ancient torches of war. But they all progress into a narrative about how the "Day of the Lord" brings about his purposes and judgements. There are just a FEW hints of what that will look like in maybe Daniel - and Isaiah - but they're not necessarily the vast number of ancient war verses you look to in attempting to tell your "Knowing" story. (Have you seen the Nick Cage movie? Your blog reads a bit like that.)

You nerf God's judgement. You make it into something that we could do to ourselves if we just fired all our nukes!

You ignore what the bible prophets said to THEIR generation. You don't do due diligence in researching what it meant to them. The language and symbolic narrative structures - it's all meaningless to you in your desperate attempt to feel 'special' - like you have this burning message to share.

I do to! I have this message called the gospel - in which faith in Jesus is our only hope. Only the Lord can help me! So that's the most sensible thing you've said in months.

So again - OTHER THAN sit around reading your blog all day and getting caught up in YOUR fantasies about the end-times-table you've concocted - what are we meant to DO about it? Live a gospel life? Share the gospel? Be godly?

Yeah. What I'm trying to do every day. You know what would help me do that better?
Reading good theology. Praying. Spending time in my bible study group. Serving my family and wife.

NOT sitting around reading your blog - and waiting for some cheap thrills as Cassandra Syndrome kicks in.
I get enough of that just from contemplating Judgement Day as it is ACTUALLY expressed in Revelation - and wondering what I can possibly do to share the GOSPEL with my unsaved family and friends.

You seem to want us all to share YOUR BLOG instead!

As for right now; Iran is just waiting for the right moment - in fact; for the Appointed day, when they will attempt to nuke Israel. That will be the moment when the Lord will send a massive Electro-Magnetic Pulse, blasted out from the sun to destroy them all. Isaiah 30:26-30 vividly describes it. It CAN happen, It WILL happen.

So you keep shouting!

But it cannot happen if Iran do not have any nukes, right?

Against Scripture and the Lord who says “That Day” will be unknowable (Matt 24), or “like a thief in the night”, you claim you DO know.

You claim we live in some 7000 year timetable that I can’t see in Scripture.

You claim that this timetable means the Lord will return by 2029.5 AD. So maybe May 2029? Then you said the AOD happens 1260 days BEFORE this. 2029.6 - 3.4 years = 2026.1 for the AOD.

I’ll be generous. I’ll give you till the start of the new Australian Financial Year - say July 2026. Then I’m calling your whole End Times table failed.
The Day of the Lord is at Hand for all the Nations

And you a false prophet! "I know this, because in 2010, when I was in the Holy Land; I received a vision from the Lord and inspiration to do this." The Day of the Lord is at Hand for all the Nations

Oh - and just for your self-reflection? Most here would say your attitude is anything but humble!
"I am just a humble servant of the Most High God. He gave me a task: to promote what His prophets wrote so long ago, because what they wrote then, is about to happen soon. I know this, because in 2010, when I was in the Holy Land; I received a vision from the Lord and inspiration to do this." The Day of the Lord is at Hand for all the Nations

I've just got to be patient. It won't be long now, and this whole silly episode will look exactly like this....

You ignore what the bible prophets said to THEIR generation.

The Prophesies were generally not for their generation. Ezekiel 12:27 ....these Prophesies are for a distant future time. Also; Daniel 12:4

You nerf God's judgement. You make it into something that we could do to ourselves if we just fired all our nukes!

I have never said we could do anything to change Gods Plans for the future of His Creation.
Nukes will never be used in the holy Land, but the strike of a huge Coronal Mass Ejection, instigated by the Lord, Zephaniah 3:8, 2 Peter 3:7, will literally fulfil all the graphically stated Prophesies about Gods second reset of human civilization.

You seem to want us all to share YOUR BLOG instead!

I want my fellow Christians to be aware of the forthcoming difficult times ahead.
Unfortunately, most cannot grasp the truths of Prophecy, because of wrong beliefs and inability to understand Prophecy.

I've just got to be patient. It won't be long now,

Right!

 

[eclipsenow]

The Prophesies were generally not for their generation. Ezekiel 12:27 ....these Prophesies are for a distant future time. Also; Daniel 12:4

You really have a knack for ripping things out of context. You're quoting the proverb God is mocking!

Ezekiel 12:27​

21 The word of the Lord came to me: 22 “Son of man, what is this proverb you have in the land of Israel: ‘The days go by and every vision comes to nothing’? 23 Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am going to put an end to this proverb, and they will no longer quote it in Israel.’ Say to them, ‘The days are near when every vision will be fulfilled. 24 For there will be no more false visions or flattering divinations among the people of Israel. 25 But I the Lord will speak what I will, and it shall be fulfilled without delay.​

​

For in your days, you rebellious people, I will fulfill whatever I say, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”​

​

26 The word of the Lord came to me: 27 “Son of man, the Israelites are saying, ‘The vision he sees is for many years from now, and he prophesies about the distant future.’​

​

28 “Therefore say to them,​

​

‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: None of my words will be delayed any longer; whatever I say will be fulfilled, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”​

As I said - most of Ezekiel is about those kingdoms then.

Daniel has some REALLY tricky bits. Generally speaking it's about the rise of Alexander the Great to kick out Persia, then those kingdoms that followed Alexander and how Antiochus 4 would commit his horrors - becoming the AOD. Even Daniel 12 - which has entered the truly eschatological with the righteous rising - can be a bit ambiguous. Do the times of the end start when Jesus appeared and died for us and rose again? Plenty of people rose to life in Jerusalem after those events. Jesus death and resurrection are described as the unsealing of the scroll in Revelation 5, which hints at the gospel being the secret that was hidden in Daniel's scroll. Indeed, Paul describes the mystery of the gospel being that ALL nations could now share in being in the kingdom of God because of the gospel. Peter declares the gospel era itself to be the "last days" in Acts 2.

Note the language of Acts 2! Sounds like your CME - but it's not!

“‘In the last days, God says,​

I will pour out my Spirit on all people.​

Your sons and daughters will prophesy,​

your young men will see visions,​

your old men will dream dreams.​

18 Even on my servants, both men and women,​

I will pour out my Spirit in those days,​

and they will prophesy.​

19 I will show wonders in the heavens above​

and signs on the earth below,​

blood and fire and billows of smoke.​

20 The sun will be turned to darkness​

and the moon to blood​

before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.​

21 And everyone who calls​

on the name of the Lord will be saved.’​

THE ESV Commentary says:

2:17–21 The quotation is from the Greek Old Testament text of Joel 2:28–32 (3:1–5). Peter’s use of the words “in the last days” (cf. Is. 2:2; Hos. 3:5; Mic. 4:1; 1 Tim. 4:1; 2 Tim. 3:1; 1 Pet. 1:20; 1 John 2:18) makes explicit that Joel is referring to the last times promised by God. Peter interprets Joel’s words as referring to the new covenant in contrast to the former days of the old covenant (Heb. 8:7; 9:1).​

Indeed - the last days verses above talk about the nations streaming to the mountain or temple. But Hebrews 12 explains they don't literally - but they come to the mountain through prayer! JESUS is the temple. The New Testament interprets the Old.

Then the mood of Daniel 12 shifts again - and the 1290 days etc refer back to surviving Antiochus. Then Daniel is reminded of the gospel hope, that he will rest and one day be raised.

I have never said we could do anything to change Gods Plans for the future of His Creation.

What do you place the death toll of your CME at?

Nukes will never be used in the holy Land, but the strike of a huge Coronal Mass Ejection, instigated by the Lord, Zephaniah 3:8, 2 Peter 3:7, will literally fulfil all the graphically stated Prophesies about Gods second reset of human civilization.

So the Middle East? 400 Million people or so?
A full scale nuclear war would kill 360 million in the first hour - then 5 BILLION would starve to death in the coming years!

I want my fellow Christians to be aware of the forthcoming difficult times ahead.

Not really. You want people to admire all your work on your blog.
It comes out in the way you talk about yourself, your wonderful visions, and the disparaging and patronising ways you basically call any who disagree UNSAVED by the verses you apply to them!

Unfortunately, most cannot grasp the truths of Prophecy,

Listen to yourself? For once? MOST cannot grasp YOUR weirdo CME interpretation.
MOST just don't see it the way you do.
MOST REAL theologians I know laugh at this futurist stuff - as the prophets were ACTUALLY prophesying against the kingdoms they SAID they were prophesying against! Can you imagine?

Also - this CME business? Don't look now - but I think Nick Cage is wondering if he has to take a copyright case against you.

It's all about Ezekiel's wheels within wheels being UFO angels that rescue some kids because the earth has had it!
Check it out. It's a bit of fun! Futurist prophecies and everything.
You'll love it.
Just don't pretend they were treating the bible with respect - and then go have another look at your own blog!

Isaiah 30:26 tells us exactly what the Lord will use on that Day, it will be an explosion of the suns surface, a coronal mass ejection of unprecedented magnitude, one that will literally fulfil all the graphically described prophesies about that terrible Day.

From your OP - I always thought that particular light was the healing light of heaven as seen in the heavenly Jerusalem. Why? Because it is 7 times brighter - meaning God's perfect and holy light - not the mere celestial body we call the sun. That light is in the context of nice things in Isaiah 30. The destruction happens a bit later.

Tell me, why does a CME need firewood? From later in Isaiah 30...

Topheth has long been prepared;
it has been made ready for the king.
Its fire pit has been made deep and wide,
with an abundance of fire and wood;
the breath of the Lord,
like a stream of burning sulfur,
sets it ablaze.

As always, the first step is to read the text in literary, cultural, historical, and canonical contexts. Then we analyze the structure of the passage and do the necessary lexical and grammatical work. We begin with the key phrase, “abomination of desolation.”

You failed to take your own advice. The AoD can only be the last 42 months prior to an end. It is only 42 months, because John gave us that time frame.

The end did not happen in 70AD. The end happens when the 7th Trumpet stops sounding. The AoD happens after the time called the greatest trouble ever. When Jesus got to the end, then Matthew started from the end and gave events in reverse order.

The key phrase is: "then shall the end come".

Everything mentioned prior to that phrase started at Pentacost and would last until the end.

But the AoD is the last event of the end, so now Jesus is working backwards from the end to show us that some time in those last events, the Second Coming would happen, and the Second Coming is not the end.

That is the grammatical structure of Matthew 24.

There is no Scripture that states the Second Coming is a clear and known event. Jesus stated no one knows. That did not change when John wrote the book of Revelation. Revelation 19 does not clearly state: this is the Second Coming. Revelation 19 is not to the Mount of Olives it is to the Mount of Megiddo, that is why the event is called Armageddon, ie the mount of mageddon.

Armageddon is not a thief in the night moment whereby all on earth are taken by surprise. In fact all on earth, or the population left will all be waiting in the valley of Megiddo to fight Jesus and His army on white horses. This is a planned event, not a thief in the night event.

Armageddon did not happen in 70AD. Sorry to burst your imagination bubble. The AoD mentioned in Matthew 24 is a 42 month period where only tens of thousands of humans are left on the earth still alive, and by the end, only those who make it to Armageddon are all that are left of Adam's dead corruptible flesh. God makes sure all are gathered to that battlefield. That is the end. The Gospel will not be necessary during the Day of the Lord, the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus. No one on earth will be in Adam's dead corruptible flesh.

The whole situation in the Middle East is leading up to a sudden and dramatic event instigated by the Lord. As described in Revelation 6:12-17 and in over100 other Prophesies. If people can't see this forthcoming world changer, then only the Lord can help them.
We are told that this difficulty will be prevalent during the end times. Isaiah 29:9-12, Isaiah 56:10, Revelation 3:3
It is placed over all those who choose to believe false teachings, as part of the winnowing out process. Matthew 3:12

As for right now; Iran is just waiting for the right moment - in fact; for the Appointed day, when they will attempt to nuke Israel. That will be the moment when the Lord will send a massive Electro-Magnetic Pulse, blasted out from the sun to destroy them all. Isaiah 30:26-30 vividly describes it. It CAN happen, It WILL happen.

That didn't square the circle.

Why do you insist the recent Iranian attack DEMANDS a particular response from Israel?

What are the consiquences of Israel failing to respond in the way you insist the situation DEMANDS they do, if you also insist that there is no conceivable response from Israel that could possibly alter God's plan for them?

Why Shouldn't Israel simply lay down their Arms today, stand down from all military activity and walk away from all armed conflict on every front?

This is what the Sovereign Lord says: None of my words will be delayed any longer; whatever I say will be fulfilled, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”​

As I said - most of Ezekiel is about those kingdoms then.

The Lords Words are not yet fulfilled completely. What He said to Ezekiel, was is His timing, not ours.

What do you place the death toll of your CME at?

Seems to be very many:
Deuteronomy 32:41 When I set My hand to judgement, My sword will devour flesh.

Isaiah 28:21-22 The Lord will arise and storm with rage, destruction is decreed upon the earth.

Isaiah 66:16 He will judge with fire, many will be slain by Him.

Isaiah 34:5 For My sword is prepared, it descends in judgement on those doomed for death.

Isaiah 51:6 The sky will be dispersed like smoke and the people will die like flies.

Jeremiah 25:33 Those that the Lord kills on that Day will lie scattered from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned or buried, they will be as dung on the ground.

Isaiah 63:1-6 The Lord comes from the nations, His garments splashed with blood, His Day of vengeance had come and He tramped on them and spilled out their blood.

Psalm 37:20 Evil people will die, they will be incinerated and go up in smoke.

Isaiah 13:12 Humans will become scarce, more rare that fine gold.

Ezekiel 30:4-5 Egypt will suffer anguish...her slain will fall along with all the Arab lands.

Zephaniah 1:3 & 11 I shall destroy humans and animals, I shall bring the godless to their knees. Dire distress will come to sinful peoples, their blood and guts will spill on the ground.

Jeremiah 9:22 Corpses will lie like dung in the fields, with no one to gather them

So the Middle East? 400 Million people or so?
A full scale nuclear war would kill 360 million in the first hour - then 5 BILLION would starve to death in the coming years!

You don't know about the Equitorial Divide? The Southern Hemisphere would not be directly affected by a nuke exchange in the Northern H.

The fate of the Jewish State of Israel:
Ezekiel 21:3 My sword of judgement will kill both the righteous and wicked alike, from the Negev, Northward.

Jeremiah 11:16 Once you were My people, now with a great noise, you will be burned & consumed.

Isaiah 5:25 His anger is roused against His people and as He strikes them down the mountains shake. Their bodies lie like refuse in the streets.

Ezekiel 32:6 I shall drench the land with blood, the villages will be filled with it.

you basically call any who disagree UNSAVED by the verses you apply to them!

No; anyone who accepts Jesus as their Saviour, is now a child of God. But they are at risk until Jesus Returns, because their false beliefs; which will not happen, may cause them to renounce the Lord.

this CME business? Don't look now - but I think Nick Cage is wondering if he has to take a copyright case against you.

Nicholas Cage has no patent on Coronal Mass Ejections. NASA and other scientists have been warning us for years that a big CME is likely and would devastate the world.
It is what will happen. God Promised to never again use water to destroy the world, but in over 100 Prophesies, He warns us of the fire He will instigate the next time. We are now at the point where civilization is again as in the days of Noah.

I always thought that particular light was the healing light of heaven as seen in the heavenly Jerusalem. Why? Because it is 7 times brighter - meaning God's perfect and holy light - not the mere celestial body we call the sun. That light is in the context of nice things in Isaiah 30. The destruction happens a bit later.

As usual, you fail to find out how a CME works. First; the super bright flash of the explosion, seen from the earth within 8 minutes. It will cause the destruction of everything electrical and electronic. Our systems of lighting, heating, communications, transport, etc; All gone in a flash.
Also the microwave effect will cause tectonic plate movement, Deuteronomy 32:22, Revelation 6:14b

Secondly; the main mass of superheated Hydrogen Plasma, will arrive about 24 hours later. The fire destruction as Prophesied.
Thirdly; The Lord will protect His faithful people, those who - Call upon His Name and He will heal their spiritual wounds, Malachi 4:1-3

Tell me, why does a CME need firewood? From later in Isaiah 30...

The flammable materials are here now. The CME will set forests, houses , etc ablaze.
The CME will quickly pass and the earth rotates and travels at 66,000mph on its orbital track, so just how badly affected places like Australia will be affected, is not known.

Its the old 'tit for tat' situation.
Israel is preparing a response, from what I see. Them Iran will feel the need to pay Israel back and maybe they will choose to resolve the situation by using nuke missiles.
However, as 1 Thess 5:3 says. things will be peaceful just before the Lord intervenes. I believe a peace agreement will be made, but as we know such treaties mean nothing the Islamic people, and when the opportunity comes, - the Iran will attack. To their downfall,
