This is a very interesting video about 28 min ----describing how Russia and other countries will attack Israel in the last days ---he gives Scripture from the Old Testament to back what what he is saying in Ezekiel -----

also this is the written transcript of what he is saying in the Video if you prefer to read rather than listen to the video =





 
Yawn. We've been living in the end times since Jesus' day. He and other preachers in his day talked about end times and judgement as have myriad others in the centuries since. And if you look at some schools of post-exilic Judaism, it arguably goes back even further. Based on that, the end times seems to be an endless process rather than a path to an imminent event. We are no more in them now than in any other generation.
 
I agree with Mendalla.

Israel has been attacking and oppressing for decades.

The anti-Christ wants to be president in the US and has his followers who do his bidding

And so it goes.

While there are things that make it look like end times, we've been here before and will be again.
 
Sounds rather like the kind of argument you make to shut down an argument.

Sometimes ya just have to acknowledge we just don't know

There is a True and a False and also something can be I Don't Know or Indeterminate or even Meaningless (How many Zentons has Mendalla eaten?)
 
@unsafe, what do you say when Mark tells you that no one knows when that day or hour will come..not the angels in heaven, not the son, ( not David Jeremiah) but only the Father.?
It will arrive without warning.
 
Can human stupidity about ignoring the worst come to an end? Thus in reality what we ignored and shoved out of sight (behind) comes up to bite us there without a leg to stand on ... Black Mum Ba's mother of sol? This is discussed in The Poisonwood Bible as some trees are noxious ... one should know the tree you hang out it ... tis like a spaghettis western ... considerable noodling required ... is termination temporal because there is a shortage of the base matter given all the energy scattered in deep domains ... intangibles?

Space creeps also in the form of agoraphobics! The Gora is critical piece ... in some dimensions known as the gloaming ... a twilight metaphor to add to the dark sophistication of what's going to become of you ... there's bound to be some you MS that help you out of it! Grounds for a spontaneous spark?
 
Cats and weasels have a thing about things over their head and thus they climb with intent of putting it down ...

May describe bad cats that will not come down out of there ... the lesson hidden in Finnegan's process of WOKE ... that aura that follows ... recall in it only an icon ... yet a Zion zinger ... total ionization ... thus the current is carried ... like a nerve struck and nailed ... thought is arrested ... may lead to screeching in the night in differing scales ... some just a burble ... blue sometimes have a burr attached ... catching as a sad song howled in a speak easy!

No message your honor it was just a song, carrying a myth of just Isis ... and chill over what mortal does to self it doesn't know ... given the old adage from Ammon about treading lightly until knowing oneself and the light descends ... things move! The search goes on shaded ... because the tyrants don't like you to know ... as they are weasels ... some behaving as mere cats ... de bugging? Bug often carry prion viruses ... wee things ... virtual unseen's! Even more poorly understood. No graphic displays ... that's poor approach to more intelligent sects! Common folk like images ... word picture hieroglyphics ... hi Eros laid out ... Dunn? Said to be wasted or prodigal ...

Alien word's critical to foreign intelligence and understanding thereof ... one must put them to good order so the demons will not escape back to heaven ... that'd be dissonant ... like Eris and Ares ... Furies? Discussion on such things can cause children to drop off ... like AE sop's fable ...

Do we not all live in End Times? I have certainly always expected that I would pre-decease the planet...
You will. We all will. The human species will. Earth ain't goin' nowhere. We can mess up the ecosystem all we like but once we are gone, things will snap back in a few thousand years. After a few million, you won't even be able to tell we were here save maybe for a slightly high concentration of uranium and plutonium in some areas (assuming a worst case scenario). It may be end times for our species, but not for Earth. And, really, it is a preventable end times, not some inevitable divine prophecy.

Could we state that this is carved in stone allowing for a little creep ... given what we know determinately?

I've mentioned the Geo Gaia Standing Stones a few ties ... they seem as unfamiliar as that one tossed under the bridge ... a flushed thought? Many find it embarrassing to mentally process in a domain flooded with wills ... thus psyche departure ... into the dark ... psychotic?

Don't go there without a wee light ... and sufficient oielle ...
 
Even if it is the end times, @unsafe , nothing changes in our lives?

We still chop wood
carry water
laugh
cry
pay our bills
Heal the sick
Feed the poor
Clothe the naked

Again, tho, it might, like the various losses and griefs we have all experienced, help us to discern between what is Important and what is Optional

What is worth the costs

Human freedom is a difficult thing
It is so easy to give it up for various things like comfort
Ease
Even fear and anxiety

Still time for wine with friends
Travelling to distant climes
Going on protest marches
Slinging the kaboosh!

Amen
 
If we were convinced these were end times, would we feel called to repentance? Jesus tied the two together quite frequently.

David Jeremiah is not saying he does know the day or the hour that The Jesus will return ----His video is about what role places play in the end times and it is all laid out in Ezekiel ---Jeremiah is teaching Prophecy here straight from the word --he is not preaching ----he is teaching and explaining from Ezekiel about events that will take place which are laid out in Scripture ----He is not predicting anything about when the rapture will happen or when the Jesus will come back for His 2nd coming ------or when the tribulation will happen ------or anything else ----

this is the scripture in Matthew 24------

The Day and Hour Unknown​

36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[f] but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

From the Old Testament one can learn much about the end times ------

is teaching Ezekiel 38 and 39 --Prophecy's ----of the end times

Ezekiel 38

Amplified Bible

Prophecy about Gog and Future Invasion of Israel​

38 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, set your face against Gog of the land of Magog, the chief ruler of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief ruler of Meshech and Tubal. 4 I will turn you around and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them magnificently clothed in full armor, a great horde with [a]buckler (small shield) and [large] shield, all of them wielding swords; 5 Persia (Iran), Cush (Ethiopia), and Put (Libya, N. Africa) with them, all of them with shield and helmet; 6 Gomer and all its troops; Beth-togarmah from the remote parts of the north and all its troops—many peoples with you.
7 You [Gog] be prepared; prepare yourself, you and all your hordes that are assembled around you, and be a guard and a lookout for them. 8 After many days you will be summoned [for service]; in the latter years you shall come into the land that is restored from [the ravages of] the sword, where people have been gathered out of many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had been a continual wasteland; but its people were brought out of the nations, and they are living securely, all of them. 9 You will go up [against them], you will come like a storm; you shall be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your troops, and many peoples with you.”
10 ‘Thus says the Lord God, “It will come about on that day that thoughts will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil plan, 11 and you will say, ‘I will go up against an open country; I will come against those who are at rest and peaceful, who live securely, all of them living without walls and having neither bars nor gates, 12 to take spoil and seize plunder, to turn your hand against the ruins which are now inhabited, and against the people who are gathered from the nations, who have acquired cattle and goods, who live at the [b]center of the world [Israel].’ 13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish (southern Spain), with all its young lions (villages) will say to you, ‘Have you come to take spoil? Have you assembled your hordes [of fighting men] to seize plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take great spoil?’”’
14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “On that day when My people Israel live securely, will you not become aware of it [and become active]? 15 You will come from your place in the remote parts of the north, you and many nations with you, all of them riding horses, a great horde, and a mighty army; 16 and you will go up against My people Israel like a cloud to cover the land. In the last days it will come about that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me when I show Myself holy through you before their eyes, O Gog.”
17 ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Are you the one of whom I spoke in former days through My servants, the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for many years that I would bring you (Gog) against them? 18 It will come about on that day, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord God, “that My wrath will rise and show on My face. 19 In My zeal and in My blazing rage I declare that on that day there will most certainly be a [c]great earthquake in the land of Israel, 20 so that the fishes of the sea, the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, all the creatures that crawl on the earth, and all the men that are on the face of the earth will tremble and shake at My presence; the mountains will crumble, the steep places will fall, and every wall will fall to the ground. 21 I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains,” says the Lord God. “Every man’s (invading soldier’s) sword will be against his brother (ally) [in panic and confusion]. 22 With pestilence and with bloodshed I will enter into judgment with Gog; and I will rain on him torrents of rain with [great] hailstones, [d]fire and brimstone on his hordes and on the many nations that are with him. 23 Thus I shall magnify Myself and demonstrate My greatness and sanctify Myself, and I will be recognized and will make Myself known in the sight of many nations; they will know [without any doubt] that I am the Lord.”



Ezekiel 39

Amplified Bible

Prophecy against Gog—Invaders Destroyed​

39 “And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince (ruler) of Meshech and Tubal; 2 and I will turn you around and lead you along, and bring you up from the remotest parts of the north, and I will bring you against the mountains of Israel. 3 I will strike your bow from your left hand and make your arrows to fall out of your right hand. 4 You will fall [dead] on the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the nations who are with you. I will give you to every kind of predatory bird and animal of the field as food. 5 You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken,” says the Lord God. 6 “I will also send fire on Magog and on those who live securely in the coastlands; and they will know [without any doubt] that I am the Lord.
7 “I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let them profane My holy name anymore; and the nations will know that I am the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. 8 Behold, it is coming and it will be done,” says the Lord God. “That is the day of which I have spoken.
9 And [when you, Gog, no longer exist] those who live in the cities of Israel will go out and make fires with the weapons and burn them, both the [large] shields and the [a]bucklers (small shields), the bows and the arrows, the war clubs and the spears; and for seven years they will burn them. 10 They will not take any wood from the field or cut down and gather [any] firewood from the forests, because they will make their fires using the weapons. And they will take the spoil from those who despoiled them and seize the plunder of those who plundered them,” says the Lord God.
11 “And on that day I will give Gog a place for burial there in Israel, the valley of those who pass through east of the sea, and it will block the way of those who would pass through. So they will [b]bury Gog there with all his hordes, and they will call it the Valley of Hamon-gog (the multitude of Gog). 12 For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to cleanse the land. 13 Yes, all the people of the land will bury them; and it will be to their renown on the day that I appear in My glory and brilliance,” says the Lord God. 14 “They will elect men who will constantly go through the land, [men commissioned] to bury those who were passing through, those bodies that lie unburied on the surface of the ground, in order to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will do a search. 15 As those who pass through the land pass through and anyone sees a human bone, he will set up a marker beside it, until the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon-gog. 16 And even the name of the city will be Hamonah. In this manner they shall cleanse the land.”’
17 “As for you, son of man, thus says the Lord God, ‘Say to every kind of bird and to every animal of the field, “Assemble and come, gather from every side to My sacrifice that I am slaughtering for you, as a great sacrificial feast on the mountains of Israel, and you will eat flesh and drink blood. 18 You will eat the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, as though they were rams, lambs, goats, and bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan [east of the Jordan]. 19 So you will eat fat until you are filled and drink blood till you are drunk, at the sacrificial feast which I have prepared for you. 20 You will eat your fill at My table with horses and riders, with mighty men, and with all the men of war,” says the Lord God.
21 “And I will bring [and manifest] My glory among the nations; and all the nations will see My judgment and justice [in the punishment] which I have executed and My hand which I have laid on them. 22 So the house of Israel will know [with absolute confidence] that I am the Lord their God from that day forward. 23 And the nations will know [without any doubt] that the house of Israel went into exile for their great sin, because they acted treacherously against Me; and I hid My face (favor, blessing) from them. So I gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they all fell [into captivity or were killed] by [the power of] the sword. 24 I dealt with them in accordance with their uncleanness and their transgressions, and I hid My face from them.”’”

Israel Restored​

25 Therefore thus says the Lord God, “Now I will restore the fortunes of Jacob (Israel) and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for My holy name [demanding what is rightfully and uniquely mine]. 26 They will forget their disgrace and all their treachery (unfaithfulness) which they perpetuated against Me, when they live securely in their own land and there is no one who makes them afraid. 27 When I bring them back from the nations and gather them out of their enemies’ lands, then I shall show Myself holy [and My justice and holiness will be vindicated] through them in the sight of many nations. 28 Then they will know [without any doubt] that I am the Lord their God because I made them go into exile among the nations, and then gathered them to their own land. I will leave none of them there [among the nations] any longer. 29 I will not hide My face from them any longer, because I will have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,” says the Lord God.
 
If we were convinced these were end times, would we feel called to repentance? Jesus tied the two together quite frequently.
Hmm...

Maybe it could help unify people?

Help people cut through what is optional (and trivial) and Important?

It could be like more people experiencing Dhyana? So all these petty things controlling us would fall away?

Putin and Neatahnyaooey would be in trouble then lol
 
Even if it is the end times, @unsafe , nothing changes in our lives?

We are I believe in the beginning of the end times as Jesus describes some things that will take place and describes them as Birth Pangs -----and I am not alone in this thinking -----

Greek word for birth pangs

HELPS Word-studies
5604 ōdín – properly, the pain of childbirth (travail); (figuratively) the pain necessary to open up (introduce) something new, i.e. to bring in more


Matthew 24 AMP B

6 You will continually hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end [of the age]. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs [of the intolerable anguish and the time of unprecedented trouble].


I say ------Storms are more frequent and stronger now --Floods and fires are ravishing the earth more often ---Earthquakes and Volcanoes are happening more frequently -----the sun is hotter and the heat waves are more frequent ---the rumors of war are in the air ----and invasions are happening -----Churches are closing as people are not going to Church ---many are walking away from the faith -----which is predicted in scripture ---and so on -----

Yes, We Really Are Living in the Last Days​

JUSTIN TAYLOR | MARCH 31, 2020


We are definitely living in the last days.

And yet the last day has not come.



That’s how we talk if we use the vocabulary of the New Testament.

The last day refers to the future—the culminating day of God’s final salvation and wrath being revealed for all to see (see 1 Thess. 5:1–11). We are told in Scripture that though we know this day is coming, we cannot know the day or the hour of the last day itself (cf. Matt. 24:36).

The last days refers to the period of time we are now in—between Christ’s death/resurrection/ascension and his second appearing or return. This is also called “the last time/s” (Jude 1:18; 1 Pet. 1:20) or “the last hour” (1 John 2:18) or “the end of the ages” (1 Cor. 10:11).

It is helpful to think of the Old Testament as the age of promise, where God promised his people a Messiah who would establish and rule over his Kingdom.

With the advent of Jesus as the Christ, or the Messiah, we have the age of fulfillment. The promises of God are being fulfilled in these last days, even if they will not being ultimately or finally consummated or fulfilled until the last day. Theologians call this the “already” (it has already dawned, the fulfillment has begun) and the “not yet” (it is not yet finalized or complete). The illustration at the top of this page illustrated how both the inbreaking blessings, along with suffering and tribulation, continue in this overlap of the ages. For a helpful summary of this paradigm, see Ben Gladd’s piece here “The Two Ages.”

If you want to check out the biblical references for yourself on the last day vs. last days/last time/last hour/end of the ages distinction, see below:

“Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour.” (1 John 2:18)

“He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you. . . .” (1 Pet. 1:20)

“Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come.” (1 Cor. 10:11)

“But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.” (Heb. 1:2)

“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.” (2 Tim. 3:1)

“In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” (Jude 1:18)

“. . . scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires.” (2 Pet. 3:3)

“Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days.” (James 5:3)

“And in the last days it shall be, God declares,
that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh,
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams.” (Acts 2:17)
 
Even if it is the end times, @unsafe , nothing changes in our lives?
Tell that to people who have lost their homes ---cars and everything they have worked for all their lives in a few seconds ----from fires --and Floods ----saying they have never seen anything like this what is going on in their lifetime ----

Remember the word ---Birth Pangs ----the storms closer together and more intense ----sign of the beginning of the last days -----
