Panic sheer bloody panic .

I’ve been getting texts all day from Friends and Family members in a panic . “ Is this the End ! “ “ What is going on "" The Bible says this and this about Israel is this Armageddon ?? “

So after several Phone Calls and group chats I was able to calm most everyone down , My family knows I follow Politics and World events pretty closely and Also of my time in the Military Abroad.

First I tell them Israel has effectively been at war with one or more Arab countries for 50+ years this is nothing new. What happened back in the 1960’s makes this look like nothing, though yes it does have the potential to get very out of control . This is not likely to end soon and make no mistake I am not trying to belittle what is happening in Israel. It is serious .

But that being said their main concern seems to be Armageddon and the end of the world.

America is currently under the control of the Weakest most Incapable Corrupt Administration that has ever held the Executive Office . Combine that with a Divided congress and a worthless Justice System America is extremely vulnerable AT THE MOMENT I tell them .

So our enemies are taking full advantage , Ukraine , Israel and several other small things happening across the globe. Our enemies are “ Getting it while the Getting is good “ as my Grandfather used to say . Now if we can get someone with a spine back in office and somehow clean some of the corruption out of Washington perhaps things will calm down and our enemies will back down.

So in short Our enemies are emboldened to attack our Allies, they are emboldened to make moves they would never make under strong Leadership .

The bible thumpers actively created a self fulfilling prophecy by backing Israel and supplying them with weaponry and pumping up the BS, blatantly racist narrative of them being "God's chosen people". The USA should have stayed out of it, and that's exactly what it needs to do now. So sick of this "I stand with -so and so-".
Like, no, you're standing where you're physically standing, and meanwhile, a lot of americans can barely afford food.

Any interventionist actions taken by the USA is a mistake.

This wasn’t war. This was inhuman.

However, this type of thing isn’t new.

I am praying for all the hostages.

This has to end.

This is not a matter of religion.
It is a matter of an extreme radical group named Hamas.
The US provides weaponry to nearly any country with the money, albeit older gen equipment.

Armageddon will only occur after a certain number of prophecies have come to pass.
And they haven't happened yet.
The opposing army will be comprised of all people that follow the beast, not just Muslims.

Tell them to be at peace and enjoy their lives....

I know Christians hate hearing this, but if you actually believe in that bible, it IS radical.
Religions tend to be radical.

This conflict is 2 HIGHLY RELIGIOUS groups, killing each other, with one of them being backed by religious people in the USA.
Religion is 100% relevant to this.

Hamas itself states that it wants Islam to spread all over the world.

Religion is most of the problem.

Understanding end time events requires in depth study of both Revelation and Daniel as well as Ezekiel and a few other passages. What is happening now cannot be Armageddon.
That is a battle that takes place much further down the road once the seventh seal has been broken. Some believe that the seals are no longer intact. I believe at least two still have not been broken. That last battle only comes at the end of the last seal

I have done extensive study in Daniel and Revelation. Note that Revelation is a "sequential" book. Things are numbered in sequence and are firmly ordered. The problem comes when one tries to put the Mark of the beast earlier than it is. That happens further on in the seventh seal. But the sixth seal is not yet open. Can anyone tell me why? There is actual proof.
I will say at the end of this writing.

Matthew 24 gives us both warnings and promises.
What I will tell you now is that if people are frightened or worried about the last battle at the end of the world then they are not ready for the last battle at the end of the world.
Know that the mark happens long before the last battle. so unless you are confronted with that ...not to worry about Armageddon. And that mark happens later in the seventh seal...

The sixth seal is not yet open, some believe none are. I do.
The sixth chapter of Revelation outlines the sun, moon, changes, and an earthquake...Worldwide. Indeed it may be the same quake described in Ezekiel 38-9.
That quake happens before the seventh seal opens. There has never been such an event as of yet. We could be close to it and this war in Israel may be a catalyst to usher in the Ezekiel war. Or, God may decide to allow more delay. He has done so already

The end is at the end of the seventh seal. So I would tell you to tell your friends and family

God is fed up. Angry as it were with the total evil that is happening. Still, it need not be a concern to those who are prepared for this event.
I will however, say this: People who are very worried about the end are not prepared for the end. People who are truly prepared for the soon to come events will not be worried.
Clearly what is happening is precursor events such as Ezekiel 38...war...destruction of Damascus etc. Watch Israel..again I say all eyes on Israel. When Damascus is destroyed..
Be ready: Physically, Mentally, and Spiritually.

Absolutely and I also tell them to stop worrying about things they have zero power over .

An Individual or His family can do nothing about a Middle Eastern Conflict. That is not to say what is happening does not affect us because it does .

a reply to: DavidsHope

Agreed this is not Armageddon this is not the end .

Revelation 16:15 “Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”

No one I say again no one knows when the end is , I feel it in my gut we have several more chapters of Human History to go before the end .

Perhaps the end will never come , Perhaps we will transcend such things.

what we are seeing right now is a direct result of Poor leadership , Poor decision making and an idiotic Public voting for these morons over and over again.

And yes, it is religion and yes, the US backs Israel, (who are incedentaly not the chosen people any longer)
But dont confuse the teachings of Jesus with religios people
Jesus taught love and forgiveness

And I would argue 100%, seems the US are motivated by colonialism, economics

Yeah , they didn't have to pay for those.
That equipment was a gift from Biden.

To go off into well trodden conspiracy paths, I guess that this IS the end.

Not of the world, per se, but the end of the so-called "free world." Of course, it may mean the end for many along the way as well but we all die sometime... though the so-called "elite" may have other plans regarding their own death, of course.

See, it turns out that the countless smart, concerned people warning of a long- planned totalitarian world government based on a nearly incomprehensible level of compartmentalization, technology, diseased ideology and coercion were actually correct.

Despite the usual arguments about human nature to the contrary, the recent highly coordinated world events and ubiquitous propaganda and censorship make it an obvious possibility. Lacking AI, trained operatives and general agency there is eff-all most can do about it, except to note the process.

Of course, individual power is an illusion and if enough people are angry, they get "agency." Let's hope that these best laid plans get miced up... if so.

Alas, too bad there isn't a coordinated push for a more benevolent world government. No secretive, restrictive, murderous plans needed for that.

Exactly it is near insanity to worry about something completely beyond us.

“Everything calls peace. Shalom! Then it will occur – a new Middle East war suddenly flares up, big naval forces are facing hostility in the Mediterranean – the situation is strained. But the actual firing spark is set on fire in the Balkans: I see a ‘large one’ falling, a bloody dagger lies beside him -then impact is on impact. Two men kill a third high-ranked. They were paid by other people. One of the murderers is a small black man, the other a little bit taller, with bright-colored hair. I think it will be at the Balkans, but I cannot say it exactly. […] Immediately the revenge comes from across the large water.-Alois Irlmaier

Ive been telling friends that they are approaching it from the wrong angle, a celestial time line is most likely way different than ours.

So relax be ready to help those you love and worry about the earthly dangers versus the celestial.
