Daniel 12:19 says that in the latter times, a few will understand.
No, it says:
"None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand." (NIV)

And it so happened that, in the last times in the 1st century AD, Jews with their leaders gave their own king to be crucified, not understanding the kingdom of God, the signs of times and the character and plan of God.

The reason that most cannot understand, is because of beliefs in false teachings. God locks people into their delusions. Isaiah 29:9-12

The forthcoming worldwide disaster of the Sixth Seal, is about what God intends to do to mankind. Similar to what He did to the antediluvian peoples.
Brother, I know you'd like to think you are the only enlightened one. But I do agree with other posters view and it's really not worth arguing over. We tend to believe what we want to believe. Peace

All of this presumptive "prophetic" chitter-chatter has been thrown around like monkeys flinging their feces since 1948. Man, if I could create a list of "soon too happen" prophecies since the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, it would fill volumes.

One Day, what the Bible Prophets have told us, will happen.
If it doesn't, then the Bible is just another fiction book. But the many literally fulfilled Prophesies, prove their accuracy and we can see from the wars, etc, today, that some kind of dramatic event will change the world.
What that will be is described to us in over 100 Prophesies. They are there, in plain sight, but the Lord says people are blinded and unable to understand, because of choosing to believe in false theories and doctrines.

Iran is building a long-term nuclear military option, with enrichment and armament facilities buried deep underground. According to the IAEA, Iran has enriched uranium to near-bomb-ready levels (84%, which is close to the 90% level necessary for a nuclear weapon) and in recent months has tripled its accumulation of weapons-grade uranium, enough for production of an estimated six nuclear weapons within four weeks.

Iran is developing a formidable long-range missile arsenal of great technological variability, including solid and liquid propellant ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and ICBMs. The latest Iranian ICBM, called the "Khorramshahr," seems to be based on the North Korean BM25 missile with a range of 3,500 km. The entire Iranian ballistic missile program is in violation of United Nations Security Council prohibitions.

Like his predecessors, US President Biden has pledged that he will never allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon. But American military leaders now say only that the US "remains committed Iran will not have a fielded nuclear weapon" (– Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley to Congress in March 2023). This suggests that the Biden administration is now prepared to tolerate developed nuclear weapons in Iran's hands, provided the weapon is not "fielded," in other words, deployed.

Bible prophecy informs us of what will happen when a combined force of the neighbouring countries attack.

Immediately after Israel's declaration of independence on May 14th 1948, the armies of six Arab countries - Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Iraq - together with the local Arab militia forces attacked the nascent Jewish state from all directions

From that time until 1967 half of Jerusalem was literally desolate and uninhabited.

In 1967 there was what was known as the six day war during which Jerusalem was captured by Zionist forces.

Since that time an occupation of the land has been established. With settlements being built on the high hills in Israel. [ Ezekiel 36:2 ]
And a nationwide system of military checkpoints was established, which started out as two or three solders simply
standing at crossroads limiting the movement of "Palestinians" and other people deemed as threats. [ Obadiah 1:14 ]
Today the checkpoints include turnstile gates, and robotic guns.

The occupation now is in its 57th year (1967 - 2024) I believe it will be a total of 70 years, ending 2037.
[ Daniel 9:1-2 Daniel 9:24 70 captivities ]
It is the last captivity before the end time beast and false prophet time.
By 2037 many Hebrews will realize the truth of their identity and their Messiah, Joshua of Nazareth,
and a union of all who are sincere in the land will ensue.

But the evil one and his men will not like it and there will be more war and trouble and oppression,
they have already planned a great war to begin around that time, all three world wars have been pre planned.
Yes, Islamic forces will take over, the trap spoken of in Obadiah will be sprung,
decades of clandestine, evil, greedy and backstabbing operations will come to their fruition.
But those being betrayed will realize it, and bombs will fly.

As it is written; call together against Babylon Ararat Mini and Ashkenaz

Thus with violence shall Babylon be cast down and shall be found no more.

Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her plagues.
For her hour has come, and the measure of her greed.

They conspire to attack Israel - Psalms 83:1-8, Isaiah 21:2

They prepare their weapons - Psalms 7:12, Ezekiel 7:14

This is the situation today:

The Lord will make their weapons recoil upon themselves, the Electro-Magnetic Pulse hit will cause them to explode - Psalms 7:13-16, Joel 3:4, Obadiah 15

Then the sun, moon and stars will be obscured by the approaching Coronal Mass Ejection - Psalms 18:11-12, Isaiah 13:9-13, Ezekiel 32:7-8, Amos 8:9

But most people will take shelter until it passes. Isaiah 2:19, Revelation 6:15

The survivors will form a One World Govt. - Daniel 7:23-24, Revelation 17:12

The Holy Land will be regenerated - Ezekiel 36:8, Joel 2:21-24, Isaiah 35:1-10, Amos 9:13-15, Jeremiah 33:12-14
And the Lord's faithful Christian people will gather there. - Psalms 107, Isaiah 35:1-10, Ezekiel 34:11-16, Isaiah 66:18b-21, Revelation 7:9-14

The leaders of Beulah will break the Covenant with the Lord and sign a 7 year peace treaty with the leader of the O.W.G. Daniel 9:27, Isaiah 28:14-15

At the midpoint he will break the treaty and conquer Beulah-Daniel 9:27, Zechariah 14:1-2
This commences the 7 Trumpets and 7 Bowls of the Great Tribulation - Rev 8:2 onward.

Those who kept their faith in God will be taken to a safe place on earth. Daniel 11:32b, Revelation 12:14
3.5 years later, Jesus will Return in His glory, for His Millennial reign - Revelation 19:11-21, Matthew 24:30-31, Zechariah 14:3-4

Your thinking is from a human perspective, a stumbling block, not from GOD's perspective. The letter kills, kills the souls because is to death-Genesis 2:17, only the Spirit gives life. GOD is Spirit, GOD is life, GOD is Light and in Him is no darkness at all.

What does the everlasting Word of GOD say? The Word is GOD, self-executing, understand? 2Thessalonians 1:7-10:

7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord JESUS shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, (for example, Michael. Daniel 12:1-3 combined with Revelation 12)

8 In FLAMING FIRE taking vengeance on them that know not GOD(Matthew 11:27)
, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

9 Who shall be PUNISHED with everlasting destruction(Revelation 11:18)
from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power;

10 When He shall come to be glorified in His saints, and to be admired in all them that believe...in this day.
(The last Day, the seventh and last Day-this Day just arrived-, or seventh and last millennium)

1John 2:28 - And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.


Isaiah 33:10-14

10 Now will I rise, saith the Lord; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.

11 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.

12 And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.

13 Hear, ye that are far off(Gentile peoples), what I have done; and, ye that are near(Jewish people), acknowledge my might.

14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the DEVOURING FIRE? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? ->
Hebrews 12:29- For our GOD is a consuming fire.

The Word is from everlasting to everlasting, the Word is GOD, self-executing, understand?

Be careful or else get ready

Why does Iran hate Israel?

Of course it isn’t the bulk of the Iranian people who are haters of anybody but those who have the governing power who are the Shi-ite Islamic Mullahs, led by the Supreme Mullah, Ayatollah Khomeini. These who are known as ‘Twelver’s’ – that is, they believe the hidden Twelfth Imam will appear in the end times of this age.
But shockingly, they believe they are obliged to destroy Jewish Israel before this Imam can appear and it doesn’t worry them if millions of their own people die to achieve this.

The religion of Islam was founded by Mohammed when he received inspiration from a supernatural being he thought was the angel Gabriel. But it is easy to discern from reading the Koran and the actions of those who follow the Moslem belief, that Satan is their motivator and is their god: Allah.

So the Iranian threats and active actions to achieve their objective of ‘wiping Israel off the map’ are a real and serious threat to peace in the Middle East and to the world.

Bible Prophecy tells us that Elam, Media, Persia - all now Iran - WILL attempt to destroy Israel. Their nuclear weapons development and missile programme, is just for that purpose. However, the Bible Prophets say when they do commence their attack, the Lord will intervene and cause their weapons to recoil upon themselves. Joel 3:4, Psalms 7:12-16

This dramatic intervention by God into this world will be by a natural event, so as those atheists who survive this disaster can continue in their disbelief of God. They will follow another satanically inspired leader, as Prophesied in Revelation 13 and Daniel 7:23-24


Friends, WE are the generation who will see it all come to pass as Prophesied. The world is at the edge of massive and dramatic change, to a similar extent as what happened in the days of Noah.

It is clear that the time for this is near, but Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 5:3 that this sudden destruction will come at a time when they are saying: “All is peaceful, all secure.

So, first there must come a manmade inspired solution to this current crisis, as well as the fulfilment of Isaiah 3:1-7, where the leaders of the Jewish State of Israel will be either killed or incapacitated first, presenting Iran with their best opportunity to take action.

Wait for the Day! Zephaniah 3:6

According to what has been reported in foreign media so far, Israel carried out a relatively small strike near Isfahan's airport on Thursday night in retaliation to the Iranian attack from the weekend. This was the site where some of the Iranian ballistic missiles were launched against Israel in the barrage on Saturday night. So far, Israel has yet to officially confirm it was behind the overnight operation.

The limited scope of the attack and Israel's non-acknowledgment of responsibility have allowed the Iranians to tell their people and the world that this was nothing.

And this seems good for everyone. The silence is in line with the public statements of the member of the War Cabinet and the person who has a significant influence on Netanyahu, Minister Aryeh Deri: "It is impossible to be against the whole world – we need to restrain ourselves and be patient. Our enemies are seeking to have us face a multi-theater war, we must not give them that."

In other words, the purpose of the Israeli operation (according to foreign sources) was not to deprive Iran of any military capability, but only to convey the message that "we can harm you on your territory." By doing so, Israel wants to signal its intention to end the cycle created by the assassination incident in Damascus, where an Iranian general and other officials were allegedly taken out by Israel.

Supreme Leader Khamenei defined the assassination in the Iranian "consulate" in Damascus as "an attack on Iranian sovereign soil." In his view, this was the justification for the largest-ever missile and drone attack carried out against Israel on Saturday night. Israel, in what is seemingly attributed to it as a response, "went along" with his narrative. In other words, Israel is telling the ayatollahs, "We understand that this is how you interpret the elimination of the general in Damascus, nevertheless, we cannot but react to what you did. So here is a symbolic response, and let's go back to the status quo that existed before where we do not overtly attack you, and you do not overtly attack us." This limited approach also gives Israel brownie points in the West, which had called on Israel to respond in a restrained manner.

Will this put an end to the direct confrontation with Iran, and will we return to fighting "only" against its proxies? The ball is in Iran's court. There is reason to believe that Khamenei, given his age and condition as mentioned, will seek additional reasons to directly harm Israel, but time will tell. What is certain: Israel must quickly build a strong, long-range, accurate, and lethal missile force to deter Iran, as the wisest of statesmen, Yuval Steinitz, once proposed.

It is impossible and pointless to send Israeli Air Force planes to Tehran every other day. That's what missiles are for in this world. Because what is certain is that even if this round is closed, in the long run, as long as Khamenei is alive, a direct and extensive confrontation with Iran is only a matter of time.

In fact, what the Devil intends to do as the father of the Jews, is to direct the current world under his rule towards a global environment that will facilitate the establishment of his much desired Universal Kingdom, his fifth Universal Kingdom, for which Satan has been working since ancient times starting with Abel's murder-Matthew 23:33-35.Take a look. GOD revealed to the king of Babylon through Daniel this desire of Satan by interpreting Nebuchadnezzar's dream: Daniel 2:41-43, but in verses 44 to 47 GOD reveals how He will destroy the Kingdom of the Devil, father of the Jews-JOHN 8:44.

There will be a TERRIBLE WAR from now on between GOD's people X Satan's people. Re.11:15 says: The KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD are become the KINGDOMS of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever. (Matthew 5:5 combined with Revelation 5:10).
But Satan as a God intends to do the same with global world ruled by him-2Thes.2:3-4&9-12 combined with Revelation 12, i.e. to establish his satanic Universal religious Kingdom.

The WAR will be agaisnt THREE UNCLEAN SPIRITS LIKE FROGS - WHY FROGS?
Revelation 16:13 to 16
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the Dragon(Revelation 13:11),and out of the mouth of the Beast(Revelation 13:1), and out of the mouth of the False Prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Ar - mag - eddon.
15 Behold, I come as a thief. (Get ready)
Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

Wake up, quick, and get ready

The rise of an atomic Islamic Hitler:
Khamenei's regime, much like those of his totalitarian predecessors, does not rely on popular support or democratic legitimacy. Instead, it sustains itself through oppression, propaganda, and an iron grip on power.


By Erfan Fard
Published on 05-02-2024 23:00

In a world that grapples with the spectre of nuclear-armed mullahs, the question looms large: What does one do when faced with a theocratic regime that mirrors the dictatorial horrors of the 20th century yet wields the destructive power of the atomic age? Iran, now on a dangerous trajectory akin to North Korea's, finds its people overshadowed by an ominous future, uncertain of when the regime's vast missile arsenal might precipitate its collapse. Today, the world faces a grave dilemma: what to do with a mullah possessing nuclear bombs? What are the global implications when such a regime mirrors the dictatorial horrors of the past yet wields the apocalyptic power of the atomic age?

Ali Khamenei, Iranian regime's Supreme Leader, increasingly embodies the totalitarian and criminal archetype historically represented by figures like Stalin and Hitler. His regime, draped in totalitarian garb, is marked by fascist overtures and a criminal governance that mirrors the darkest chapters of human history. However, there exists a stark and terrifying difference—Khamenei presides over a regime potentially capable of nuclear warfare, a capability that Hitler never possessed.

Moreover, Khamenei's dangerous blend of proclaimed divine authority and political power intensifies the threat. Unlike Hitler, who did not claim prophetic or divine sanction, Khamenei's rhetoric often positions him as a messianic figure, destined to lead his followers against perceived enemies. Khamenei represents a uniquely dangerous blend of religious fanaticism and authoritarian power. This religious manipulation presents an unparalleled risk, particularly as it resonates with a certain credibility in the volatile religious landscape of the Middle East.

One must recognize that the Islamic Republic of Iran under Khamenei's rule has taken the ideological and repressive blueprints of past tyrannies and enhanced them with a veneer of religious legitimacy and nuclear ambition. The regime's official stance and actions echo the expansive and oppressive tactics of Stalin and the genocidal fervor of Hitler, but with a crucial difference: a potential nuclear capability that could escalate its regional and global threat to catastrophic levels.

Your success rate, so far, is zero. Its like saying "recession will come this year" every year until it happens, and then saying "I told you".
The probability that some futurist somewhere will have predicted the month - maybe even the week and day the Lord finally does return is not zero! :oldthumbsup: But it will be a sheer co-incidence from some whacky math on their part.

Futurist eschatology often becomes escapist eschatology. Rather than the gospel hope motivating Christians to get out there and evangelise - there is a temptation to sit indoors arguing over which of the End-Times-Tables they’ve dreamed up is correct.

It also creates a form of “Dualism” shows up in the modern American church. There seems to be a tension between working for the good now - and just waiting for Paradise. It has awful consequences. There can be a smug dismissal of the world's problems now rather than dealing with them. Imagine if abolitionists had sat back saying "Hey, don't worry about the slave trade - old Bob over here has worked out the Lord is going to return next Spring!" What a witness and gospel opportunity might have been lost!

Rather, a truer study of how to live in these Last Days (2000 years and counting since Peter said they started at Pentecost) is summed up by a famous climatologist. Catherine Hayhoe - who did the TED talk on how to talk about Climate Change (with over 4 million views) - is an evangelical herself - and married to a Pastor. TED talk here. The most important thing you can do to fight climate change: talk about it

She is an amazing witness in her work - and many environmental crusaders think of her as a hero. The UN gave her one of their highest awards - “United Nations Champion of the Earth!” https://www.amazon.com.au/Saving-Us-Climate-Scientists-Healing/dp/1982143835

She says there are solid biblical reasons to GET STUCK INTO climate activism even as a Christian longs for the new world. One day. We don’t know when. So we have a responsibility to hand over the world to our kids better than the way we inherited it. This is a great episode - and all together a FANTASTIC apologetics podcast as well. I wish more American Christians would listen to it! Good Earth - Undeceptions

Opinion is good for nothing, as always it is from a human perspective, a stumblimng block, not from GOD's perspecrtive. Matthew 16:22-23 and Genesis 3:1.

These days are the days of vengeance, that all things which ARE WRITTEN may be fulfilled, the Day of the WRATH of the Lamb is come; who shall be able to stand?Revelation 6:17.
Men's hearts will faint for fear with perplexity, looking after those things which are happening and will happen on the earth-Luke 21:26.Upon the earth there will be distress of nations,even the powers of heaven shall be shaken(heaven?Ephesians 1:3-8 combined with Philippians 3:20-21KJV, among other biblical references).

Again: These days are the days of vengeance,that all things which ARE WRITTEN may be fulfilled, the Day of the WRATH of the Lamb is come; who shall be able to stand?
JESUS WARNED: there shall be great TRIBULATION, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time(current time), no, nor ever shall be. Mat.24:21. Why there shall be great TRIBULATION? Well, it is and will be the efect of Michael's presence: Daniel 12:1-3:->1 And at that time shall Michael stand up,the great Prince which standeth for the children of thy people(Joshua 5:13-15):and there shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time:and at that time thy people shall be delivered,every one that shall be found written in the book. And except these days should be shortened,there should no flesh be saved:but for the elect's sake these days shall be shortened-Matt. 24:21-22.

Speaking of John the Baptist, JESUS said:Luke 7:27 - This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

And now? Who will be sent before JESUS's coming? Now is sent Michael-Daniel 12:1-3 combined with 1 Thessalonians 4:16 and Revelation 12.

And what is the current mission of Michael in this world of Devil?

Now, now, don't you know?

He will do the same he did in Sodom and Gomorrah, of the same manner as he revealed it to Lot: Remember: He asked to Lot: Has you here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place: For we will DESTROY this place(NOW WILL DESTROY THE WORLD AS A WHOLE), because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord has sent us to DESTROY it.
And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, GET YOU OUT OF THIS PLACE; for the Lord will DESTROY this city (NOW WILL DESTROY THE WORLD AS A WHOLE). But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.

Revelation 11:15-18. Take a look.

Be careful or else get ready

What's going on with the Houthi threats in the Red Sea, the actions of sectarian militias in Iraq, Hezbollah in Lebanon, as well as the terrorist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad, falls under Iran's proxy conflicts. Tehran asserts that all of these are "resistance" factions that form the "strategic depth" of the Iranian regime. Khamenei himself affirmed this in a meeting with Qassem Soleimani's family.

This means the terrorist militia groups act as an advanced defensive wall for the Iranian regime, fighting proxy wars on its behalf, even if only some of their goals align, as with Hamas not seeking a Palestinian state but rather conditions like prisoner releases and a return to how things were before the October 7th terrorist attack. All the bloodshed of innocent men, women, and children in Gaza was a paltry price to pay in Hamas's pursuit of a prisoner swap deal.

Some analysts of Iranian ideology argue that the regime's patience in realizing its goals explains much of what is currently happening: It consolidates the pillars of Iran's expansionist project while undermining the efforts of strategic adversaries, such as efforts toward Israeli-Arab normalization. This is also part of Iran's response to key events such as the killing of Soleimani.

However, the leadership in Tehran would not jeopardize the regime with military operations that could lead to a retaliatory strike by the US and Israel. In Iranian strategic thinking, rooted in the historical Persian patience embodied in the famous Iranian handmade carpet weaving, the focus is on achieving goals quietly by indirect means - with arms and proxies, as is the case now.

In this way, the regime is slowly building up sources of power and deterring opponents. For one, while the US and Israel are preoccupied with the Gaza war and Red Sea threats, Iran's nuclear capabilities are reportedly advancing at a rapid pace.

I believe you know that the Hebrews had to cross the Red Sea, and walk through a desert, walk until they got to the Promised Land after 40 years of peregrination / pilgrimage. What about GOD's people now or in this current time?

Now GOD's people will have to go through (I mean win a war) against the Red Dragon, that's exactly it, a Red Dragon yes,
this is no coincidence, it was predicted millennia ago. He's a false messiah who will soon manifest, just ahead, with great signs of lying, he will manifest in Israel as a lamb with two horns, he's a Jew, of course, and he'll speak like a Dragon. Revelation 12.v.3 to 17 and Revelation 13:v. 11 to 18.

Let's get ready to go through this not easy FINAL journey of GOD's people here until the glorious, marvelous, and day of exceedingly joy - the day 1335. Amen.

Iran’s overall stockpile of enriched uranium stands at 6,201.3 kilograms, which represents an increase of 675.8 kilograms since the IAEA's previous report.

Iran has maintained its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only, but the IAEA chief, Rafael Mariano Grossi, has previously warned that Tehran has enough uranium enriched to near-weapons-grade levels to make “several” nuclear bombs if it chose to do so.
