The Last Election? by Pete Garcia

Or ... Babylon represents the world system, which wields legal authority, power, and control and generation of capital. Just as Babylon did for 1000 years from the First Amorite Dynasty to the Tenth Chaldean Dynasty; and as Rome did for 500 years under the emperors.

One other thought -- Margery touched on this in her excellent analysis, but read Jeremiah 51. It is very specific about where (land of Chaldeans), who (the Medes -- today's Kurds), and how (completely and utterly destroyed). The first two elements were accomplished in Daniel 5, but the third wasn't -- not by any stretch. Taking what Jeremiah says literally, to me that only leaves the possibility that more is to come.

Hello to all again. I haven't been around for about a year but have made it back.

I have enjoyed reading through this thread very much. I am surprised today that so many Christians reject the Rapture, and refuse to discuss end time events.

I have wondered about the time element for Babylon to be rebuilt as I believe also that the Rapture is near. Also, I believe the Temple must be rebuilt which raises the Muslim question, as they would never allow it.

Something big, catastrophic, must occur to change the Muslim's thinking, and their violent reaction to the rebuilding of the Temple. It's hard to imagine what that would be. I don't see how the Rapture alone would change their thinking.

I read somewhere else, probably by Pete Garcia or Don Koenig that it looks like Iran might be attacked by Western countries as they become more aggressive and out of control with their nuclear weapons. Once they are neutralized, that would open up the ability for Israel to sign a covenant agreeing for peace in the Middle East, lead by the Antichrist (Abraham Accords). Then Israel would be free to rebuild the temple and worship for the first 3.5 years of the tribulation.

That means something big must happen between Iran and Israel for the rest of the world to get involved. It also paves the way for the destruction of Damascus if Iran continues to activate Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria

This is a theory we’ll have to see if it transpires. I’m pretty sure it was from Don’s more recent blog posts. A fascinating read.

It's a puzzle for sure... Iran has to be around in some form for Ezekiel 38, but no one knows for sure when that happens. Maybe Israel is victorious against the proxies and possibly takes out Iran's nuclear threat and stops there. Maybe Mr Fixit comes on the scene and pulls everyone together for a time. It's interesting seeing a few more voices in the Muslim world saying Jerusalem really isn't that important to them -- that whole but about the farthest mosque is a bit of a stretch to be basing the whole conflict on. And then there are the kings of north and south in Daniel 11 from verse 40 on. We know who those players are earlier in the chapter because it already happened. But those verses at the end?

With all the crazy things that Joe Biden has said, the media has not shown just how silly the statement below is.

"Folks,I don't walk as easy as I used to, I don't speak as smoothly as I used to. I don't debate as well as I used to. But I know what I do know — I know how to tell the truth ... I know right from wrong."

Running for president or really any elected office is much like a job interview. You have to explain what qualifies you to be hired. If you were looking to hire someone for a job, any job at all and the best thing they can say as their qualifications is that they know how to tell the truth and know right from wrong, would that make you want to hire them?

Maybe the utter defeat of the Gog coalition is what disheartens them to do anything or more than likely the Antichrist manages to sweet talk the muslims into allowing it ?

It's a possibility. Perhaps the anti-christ will take credit for the destruction of Gog and Magog, though it was all of God.

I do think that the Muslim problem can't be handled any other way except through their destruction. Anything less than that just won't work.

My opinion.

I agree.
