You claim that only Muslim countries will attack Israel while Micah 4:11-12 say many NATIONS are assembled ....
Many Islamic nations and entities like Hamas, etc.

Five attacks yet to happen:
The Bible prophets describe five attacks by armies against peoples and entities, that await fulfilment in these end times. They are all described differently and all occur at different times, but the common elements are; they all take place in the holy Land and they are all, except 3/, are won by the Lord.
In their correct sequence:

1/ The Islamic Confederation attack against the State of Israel. Psalms 83:1-18, Micah 4:11-12

2/ The Gog/Magog attack against the new nation of Beulah. Ezekiel 37-38, Joel 2:20

3/ The conquest of Beulah, by the Anti-Christ. Revelation 13:5-7, Zechariah 14:1-2, Daniel 7:25

4/ The battle of Armageddon by an army from all the nations, at the Return of Jesus. Revelation 19:19, Daniel 8:25

5/ The final rebellion against God at the end of the Millennium. Revelation 20:7-9, Daniel 2:34-35

For what reason do they attack?

1a Because of their ancient enmity against Jacobs descendant’s. Ezekiel 25:1-17

2a In order for God to display His power and to make Himself known to His people and the nations. Before Jesus’ visible Return. Ezekiel 38:23, Ezekiel 39:7

3a The Anti-Christ will break the 7 year treaty with Beulah. Daniel 9:27, Rev 13:7

4a It is Satan’s attempt to prevent the Return of Jesus. Revelation 16:14

5a Satan’s final deception of mankind. Revelation 20:3 & 7-9


What the Lord uses to achieve victory and the results of these attacks:

1b The Middle East is virtually depopulated, by fire, storms, earthquakes and tsunamis, caused by a massive CME. Revelation 6:12-17, Isaiah 30:25-28, Zephaniah 2:4-15, Ezekiel 30:1-5, Jeremiah 12:14, Jeremiah 10:18, Zephaniah 1:14-18

2b The entire Gog/Magog army is wiped out, by earthquakes and fire. Ezekiel 38:18-22, Ezekiel 39:3-5, Joel 2:20

3b Beulah will be conquered and the Lord’s people tested for 42 months. Daniel 9:27, Daniel 11:31-35, Revelation 11:2

4b The Anti-Christs army is destroyed by the Sword of the Word and he is chained up. Revelation 20:19-21, Daniel 11:25

5b The armies are burned up and Satan is thrown into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:9-10


What happens to the dead?

1c They are burned to ashes by fire from the sun. Isaiah 30:26, Malachi 4:1&3, Isaiah 33:12

2c They are buried in Wadi Mujib. Ezekiel 39:11

3c Their souls are kept in heaven awaiting Jesus’ Return. Daniel 11:35, Revelation 20:4

4c Their bodies are food for the birds and animals. Revelation 19:21

5c They are totally consumed by fire from heaven. Revelation 20:9

I understand your rationale that the fourth beast overtakes the whole world....

Daniel 7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

...this, it must mean a one world government.

But that is not what it means, because the beast (the person) and his kingdom (also likened to a beast) are attacked by other quadrants of the world, their kingdoms, in Daniel 11:40-48.
When the Beast will try to impose his way of governing there will be 3 kings who will try to stop him ... but they will be plucked out..The 3 horns who will be plucked out and be simply replaced by 3 other rulers submitted to the AC.


What it boils down to is the EU in it's final form whatever that is. Most likely the EU divided into ten regions just as you visualize the world becoming ten regions.

Assuming the United States and Canada align with them, the EU would be the most dominant power in the world and would erert it's will.
What boils down is that you try desperately to hold to the proved wrong concept that 10 EU countries will form the 10 kingdoms.

What is your basis for ten years before?
Just my guess, as I believe we have now only about 12 years until Jesus Returns.

Things are really speeding up now. Trump will soon impose a settlement onto Israel and the Palestinians. This will cause huge repercussions and the Islamists cannot accept that Israel is there permanently. Iran is just waiting for an opportune moment to launch their nuke missiles at Israel.
They will do it, or try to! That will be the moment of their doom. Psalms 7:12-16, Deuteronomy 32:34-43, Isaiah 30:26-30, +

The plagues upon the kingdom of the Beast will happen only during the 7 Vials of the WRATH OF GOD Revelation 16 during the last 6 months of the 42 months reign of the Beast upon all those who will have taken the mark and worshiped the Beast....the few Christians still alive at that moment will have to go into their protective chambers ...

The 6 first trumpet plagues Revelation 8 Revelation 9 will happen before that the Beast is given power by Satan Revelation 13:5 for the last 42 months preceding the Coming of Jesus...
The 7Th trumpet being the third woe ...Satan cast out of Heaven Revelation 12:7-12 giving power to the Beast Revelation 13:3-5
I should have wrote the great tribulation last 1335 days. Not to imply that the vials of wrath last 1335 days.

The great tribulation begins when the image of the beast is placed in the temple.

Which correspond to the 42 months Reign of the Beast
Revelation 13:5
5 and there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty and two months.

Notice that only those who will refuse to take the mark of the Beast and who will refuse to worship the Beast and his image will be in Tribulation, until that God will Pour Out the 7 Vials of the WRATH OF GOD upon those who will have taken the mark Revelation 16 to avenge the BLOOD OF THE CHRISTIANS MARTYRS...

There is no mention of armies gathered to attack Israel at the 6TH Seal Revelation 6:12-17. The 6 Th Seal describe people in total panic because they believe -wrongly- that the End of the World is arrived.

Revelation 6:12-17
12 And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood; 13 and the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree casteth her unripe figs when she is shaken of a great wind.

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

15 And the kings of the earth, and the princes, and the chief captains, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman and freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains; 16 and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17 for the great day of their wrath is come; and who is able to stand?

Are you talking about Gog/Magog being ten years before Jesus returns? Or the Psalms 83 war?

The Gog/Magog can be ascertain from the text to be 7 years before Jesus returns.

The 1335 days is a little more than the 42 months. The 42 months the beast reigns - without having to contend with the two witnesses - who will be gone from the earth.

here is no mention of armies gathered to attack Israel at the 6TH Seal Revelation 6:12-17.
Basically, the armies, Hamas, Syria, Iran, etc, are gathered now.
The trigger for the Lord to instigate His Day of wrath, is an attack onto Israel, as Psalms 83 plainly says.
Are you talking about Gog/Magog being ten years before Jesus returns? Or the Psalms 83 war?
Psalms 83; 11 or 12 years before, G/M; 9-or 10 years before.
You are right that G/M must happen at least 7 years before, but I believe that the 7 year clean up will be over before the last 3 1/2 years of the 'beast' control of the new nation of Beulah. Isaiah 62:1-5

Revelation 13:5
5 and there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty and two months.

He [The Beast/AC]will be there in the World doing some nefarious activities with his little nasty friends of Revelation 9 [the locusts looking like horses [Revelation 9:7-21 with breastplate and face of men who will kill one third of humanity during the Second Woe **[morphing into the strange looking horses like creatures of the second woe]....before that Satan give him his power and authority and his kingdom [Satan is actually the prince of this world]...to continue during 42 months.

**To be more precise the supernatural creatures who are actually locked into the Bottomless Pit with Angel Abaddon will be assigned 2 roles by God:

1-Tormenting the men who are not sealed of God IN THEIR FOREHEAD during 5 months with their sting similar to the pain caused by a scorpion [the First Woe Revelation 9:1-11 5Th Trumpet ].

2-Killing 1/3 of humanity [The Second Woe Revelation 9:12-21 6Th Trumpet ]

The Second Woe is mentioned to End in Revelation 11:14


The THIRD WOE [7Th Trumpet] will be Satan giving His power and authority to the Beast [Angel Abaddon Revelation 17:8] to continue during 42 months...Particularly painful for all those who will refuse to take the mark and who will refuse to worship the Beast and his image
Revelation 13:15-16

15 And it was given [unto him] to give breath to it, [even] to the image to the breast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as should not worship the image of the beast SHOULD BE KILLED.

16 And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead;

Not 10 kingdoms. It is one kingdom - that the ten kings (leaders) rule over. They give their kingdom - singular - to the beast.

Revelation 17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

The World will be reorganized into 10 Regions [Kingdom]
The 10 rulers- will be assigned one region each...until they give their authority and Kingdom [as planned] to the Beast who shall come out of the Bottomless Pit Revelation 17:8
Revelation 17:12-13
12 And the ten horns that thou sawest are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet; but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, FOR ONE HOUR.

13 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority unto the beast.

This is talking about a one hour ceremony when the 10 rulers will become Kings and as soon that the 10 rulers will be Kings they will give their authority and Kingdom to the Beast...

This is correct, but note that the area from the Nile to the Euphrates, in region 7; will not be a part of the OWG.
It will become the new nation of Beulah, Genesis 15:18, Isaiah 62:1-5, where Abrahams descendants, that is: all the people who have the faith of Abraham; Galatians 3:26-29, will live in peace and prosperity, being the people God always wanted there, His witnesses, Isaiah 43:10, John 15:27 and His Light to the nations, Isaiah 49:8, Matthew 5:14-16

But before the reward ...there will be the test of fire
The test of fire have nothing to do with the 6Th Seal ...but have everything to do with the 42 Months Reign of the Beast Revelation 13...
Zechariah 13:9
And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God

Revelation 14:9-13
9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, If any man worshippeth the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark on his forehead, or upon his hand, 10 he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 and the smoke of their torment goeth up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, they that worship the beast and his image, and whoso receiveth the mark of his name.

12 Here is the patience of the saints, they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

13 And I heard the voice from heaven saying, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.

Daniel 7
21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; 22 until the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

24 And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise: and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down three kings.

25 And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.

26 But the judgment shall be set, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.

27 And the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

Revelation 13:7-8
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

8 And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, [every one] whose name hath not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain.

I totally disagree.
When all the prophesies about the Lord's Day of wrath are read and understood, then you will know that the Sixth Seal will be a Day of extreme heat, earthquakes, storms and tsunamis.
It is that Day, Paul refers to in 1 Corinthians 3:12-15

There will be fire, as well during the 42 months of the Great Trib.
Your quotes above are a confused mix of different times and events.

Sure it is. Why ask?
What you can't seem to see, is how the Sixth Seal event will enable the rest of the end times prophecies to take place. In the sequence given in Revelation. [Excepting for some flashbacks] Please don't post lengthy scripture, for me anyway, I always look it up in my Bible.

Of course, the 6 TH Seal DEVASTATION CAUSED BY THE GREAT WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE [Revelation 6:12]will set the scene for the beginning of the 7 Years Tribulation.

What you refuse to understand is that there is NO GATHERING OF THE PEOPLE OF GOD MENTIONED to happen AT THE 6 TH SEAL [Revelation 6:12-17] ...but the URGENCY TO SEAL THE 144,000 of the 12 Tribes of Israel [Revelation 7:1-8] is the next event mentioned to happen AFTER THE 6TH SEAL..

In the sequence given in Revelation. [Excepting for some flashbacks] Please don't post lengthy scripture, for me anyway, I always look it up in my Bible.
The sequence is exactly that a time will come when the Christians will be overcome by the Beast Revelation 13:5-7 ....the Christians who keep the testimony of Jesus and the Commandments of God are the remnant of the Woman Seed Revelation 12:17 .

That mean that ONLY the 144,000 of the 12 Tribes of Israel and A Group of Israelite living in Jerusalem GIVING GLORY TO GOD Revelation 11:13(the Woman Revelation 12:6)who will flee into the wilderness before the Third Woe [Satan who will be cast out of Heaven Revelation 12:7 who will give power to the Beast Revelation 13] will be under God's protection ....
