[Two hours 19 minutes] Israel And Iran In Bible Prophecy: A New Phase In The Middle East Conflict And What Scripture Says Is Coming: How does this new phase in the conflict align with Israel and Iran in Bible prophecy? Is this moment the fulfillment of specific end times prophecy? Yes and no. The Bible clearly foretold that Israel would be scattered and regathered—fulfilled on May 14, 1948. And you might say it was then that the prophetic time clock began to tick. That was not just a sign, that was a super sign. Scripture also predicts that in the last days, a great coalition from the north—including Persia (modern-day Iran)—will rise up against Israel (see Ezekiel 38–39). While what we are seeing today is not the full fulfillment of that prophecy, it is certainly a foreshadowing. But the Bible had more to say. Not only will the Jews be regathered together in their homeland, but they will be increasingly isolated. That’s happening. The Bible also predicted the rise of anti-Semitism in the end times. That is happening. The Bible also predicts a large nation to the north of Israel, identified in Ezekiel as Magog, will attack her. That has not yet happened. Many scholars believe that Magog is a reference to modern-day Russia. I concur with that view, but no one can say with absolute certainty. But this we can say with certainty: We see both Israel and Iran in Bible prophecy. One of the allies of Russia will be Persia. Persia was the name of Iran. They only changed their name in 1935. Let me give you just a quick flyover of end times events chronologically. Number one, I think the next event on the prophetic calendar is the Rapture of the Church. Then, the Antichrist emerges on the scene and the Tribulation period begins. The Tribulation ends with the Second Coming of Christ, and then the Lord establishes the Millennium (the 1,000-year reign of Christ). Therefore, Jesus said, “So when all these things begin to happen, stand and look up, for your salvation is near” (Luke 21:28 NLT). He did not say, “When you see these things begin to happen, freak out because we’re all dead.” He said, “look up.” Bible prophecy isn’t meant to scare us—it’s meant to prepare us. Meanwhile, it is in the best interest of the United States of America to stand with our loyal ally, the nation Israel. God made a promise to Abraham years ago; He said, “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you” (Genesis 12:3 NKJV). One of the reasons God has blessed the United States is because we have stood by our friend Israel. And I hope we continue to do so. Are You Ready? I don’t know what will happen next, but here are two things you can do today. First, ask yourself, “Am I ready for the Lord’s return?” Christ is coming again. This is a wake-up call to get right with God, walk closely with Him, and stay spiritually awake. Here’s something else Jesus said, “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself. . .” (John 14:2–3 NKJV) But then He says, “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27 NKJV). Second, let’s obey Scripture and “pray for the peace of Jerusalem” (Psalm 122:6). When Comey posted the 8647, it was May 15,2025 and also exactly 8647 days after 9/11/2001. 86 means out of here (Rapture). I think when we get to 8688 days after 9/11/2001, we could be outa here. We will have the 88 from Back to the Future with the 86. That will be on June 25, 2025.

Different people attempt to call the sheep they are completely ignored. When the shepherd calls them, they come running! UpTime Community: Fired UP in the Lord! (2 Timothy 1:6) [Two hours 11 minutes] UpTime Community: Dependence on God IS Freedom: [Two hours 2 minutes] Dr. Barry speculates rapture on 8th or 9th of Av, August 2 or 3. Suits me. I like the short ones! From Google: "Tisha B'Av, the ninth day of the Jewish month of Av, is recognized as the saddest day on the Jewish calendar. It is a day of mourning for tragedies across Jewish history, most particularly the destruction and loss of the first and second Temple and Jerusalem nearly 2,000 years ago." "... according to Jewish tradition, the 9th of Av (Tisha B'Av), which has historically been a day of mourning and fasting... is prophesied to one day be transformed into a day of joy, gladness, and cheerful celebrations.
