I didn't realize there were all these details of war before the tribulation breaks out located in the Old Testament. I think you must be right about Zechariah 11:10-11:11 being the rapture. When Jesus takes the church out of the world who he has promised to "keep from the hour of trial", he is not bound to keep any of those left behind from the hour of trial through any covenant. It also reminds me of Isaiah 43:10 "those who wait on the Lord", Zechariah 11:10 (those) "that waited upon me knew . ." Isaiah 40:31 Zechariah 11:10 And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people. 11 And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD. Hope you are right about the timeline being 2020, next summer. Those of us who have been waiting are beyond ready! :yes: Aah ... 20/20 perhaps it truly is the year we are granted perfect vision ... :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: I Cor. 2:9 “ ... Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1Cor.2:9 is a quote from the OT and is followed by verse 10. which says: "But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things , yes the deep things of God.

I thank God for the Spirit of God. The person of the Trinity by or through whom we are born again -- and everything else that occurs concerning our lives. God's Spirit even testifies with our spirit that we are children of God. That's an unfathomable connection. How? And much may always remain unexplained, perhaps if for no other reason because of the sheer vastness of God's realities themselves. For example, God essentially told Job in the four chapters before the end of the book that (paraphrased?), "...even if I told you, Job, you would not understand." Truly, even after eternity we still won't know the fullness of God! He is truly unfathomable in many ways. Not because we are that small, but because He is that big and glorious! TR
But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
