I keep hearing about the war in the middle east, how Israel is potentially soon under attack, etc. When in the Biblical scenario do you place the attack in Ezek. 38 & 39, and do you believe we're on the brink of it?

:o Not only are we hearing about the escalation of potential for the beginning of the Eze. 38-39 attempted invasion of Israel, but the reason I asked is because I ALMOST, but not quite, agree with you ROllin Thunder! I think the beginning of this invastion and supernatural intervention from God is in SYNCHRONY with the Rapture! They are simultaneous. I believe the Rapture is at the sixth seal at Rev. 6:13 and 14. If you look at the events of this seal, they are humongous and catastrophic. First of all the first five seals equate with the birth pangs or beginning of sorrows in Matt. 24. I believe they've been going on. Rev6:13 the stars of heaven fell to the earth, and if you look up in Strongs, that's most likely heavenly hosts coming down for the collection of Raptured saints, not asteroids. Verse 14 they are taken back away or departed to heaven, and then every mountain and island are moved out of their places. Then everyone great and small (right after the Rapture?) tries to run and hide (the kings, etc., into their taxpayer funded underground shelters?) and if you keep going in Rev. chapter 6 you see that they KNOW that the day of GOD'S WRATH (3 and one half years in duration, but that's another subject) is beginning, the half hour of silence happens in the next verse, Rev. 7:1 and chapter 7 has both the sealing of the 144,000 Jews and the Raptured saints and dead in Christ gathered together in heaven. I'd go into Eze. 38 and 39 and expound on how I think the same catastrophies happen at the same time, but that will make this long!!! The same half hour of silence is in Rev. 8:1, so you know it's mentioned as the same thing. ---Places of Refuge
