Geri7, Elam prophecy shall be fulfilled during the battle of Gog/Magog. After the rapture in this summer, seeing US and EU crippled by rapture, Russia together with Turkey and Iran launch attack against Israel. This battle of Gog/Magog takes place in this summer also, very likely begins in this August. God shall send earthquake and brimstone to them. Earthquake should rattle the land beneath their nuclear facilities. Multiple nuclear explosions occur in Iran. Because of nuclear contamination, Iran becomes uninhabitable. They shall be scattered all over the nations. We know the season, but as the Lord Jesus Himself said: Mt 24:36 But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. And He wasn't referring to the Second Coming, which can be accurately assessed 1260 days the Abomination of Desecration takes place, in the exact same way the Pharisees knew the exact day He would enter Jerusalem in their day. God has left Daniel's 69 weeks for the Jews to calculate the exact day of their Messiah entering Jerusalem, but they have ignored it. Simeon knew that before his death, he would see the Messiah. Anna the prophetess who gave thanks to God, spoke of God to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem after Jesus was born . God either leaves a clue, or uses the Holy Spirit to guide people to recognize what is going to happen immediately. The rapture is no exception. There should be some warning and events coming from God before the rapture. The staff God holds is the church. God calls the staff “Beauty” because this is how the church is seen by God. “cut it asunder” means God is perfecting the church since it’s establishment in first century. When the staff is broken in one day, that is, when God calls the church home, the poor of the flock which is “us” shall know that this is the word of Jesus. He kept his promise by not letting us into the tribulation. I have to disagree with this. When Zechariah breaks the staff Beauty, he is annulling the covenant that restrained the Gentiles from oppressing God's people, Israel. The Church was not formed until the Book of Acts, not during the time of Zechariah. The rapture is no exception. There should be some warning and events coming from God before the rapture. Not according to the King of kings and it is Him that I will believe, not man's interpretations.
