Is the Psalm 83 War Next on the Prophetic Timeline?

[Florian9]

Polar flip... end of the world.... whatever. I don't beleive it will be end of the world and the mayan prophecy. I have read some new agers beleive it will be a new awakening on that date or something. I even heard that when the Galactic federation ship and the aliens will land....

After all I just think its interesting with all the hype with 12/21/2012 that the election is really close during that time. And we all know and can sense there are cjhanges happening right now. IMO, we are in the season and the last generation before Jesus comes. Because of that we will see more changes regardless. Whoever will win the election will pave the way for AC. If we are all still here, Im somewhat looking forward to it. But I sure hope he comes soon because I know it will get alot worse after 2012.

It really amazes me how the media and all of the "doomsday" types take stock in the predictions of a stone-age, human-sacrifice performing, sadistic backward-barbarian culture that is now extinct. 12/21 won't have have anymore significance than yesterday's date. That said--I'd be totally shocked if Israel hasn't had an all out war by that date with it's immediate Arab neighbors and Hezbollah.

I am praying for the people of this land. We are being attacked by the dark one because he knows the time is near. I believe the destruction of Damascus is soon (IS. ch. 17). Syria is not mentioned as one of the nations in the Russo-Arab pact of Ezekiel 38. Look at the chaos and murder occuring in Syria...the cup of blood filled with the wrath of Almighty God is about to spill over. I truly hope that George Washington's prophecy at Valley Forge does come true. Even so, come Lord Jesus. Amen.

GW never had any visions nor prophesied about America's future.

So I've been following the prophecies of Ezekiel 38 & 39 for about two years now....
ANd I read an RR article saying this too--but is it true that after Iran attacks Israel and Israel attacks back--then the Psalm 83/Isaiah 17:1 and the War of Gog and Magog will commence?
Your thoughts on this?

That is pretty much how I see it also.

The sequence of events seem to be foretold in


Ez 28:25 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and will manifest My holiness in them in the sight of the nations, then they will live in their land which I gave to My servant Jacob. 26 “They will live in it securely; and they will build houses, plant vineyards and live securely when I execute judgments upon all who scorn them round about them. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.”’”

After Israel is regathered (1948), the Lord will execute judgments upon all their neighbors who hate Israel (Ps 83, Is 17, Zep 2, Zech 9, Amos 1) then Israel can live securely (pre-req for Ez 38).

Israel will be living securely at this point having gained conquered land with the associated oil/gas deposits. I have a feeling that this could be at least 6 months but more like at least a year or so. These oil/gas riches do not need to be developed. Russia will be more than happy to take over oil/gas resources that are still in the ground. Especially if they (& the world) feel that they are somehow avenging the defeat of all the Ps 83 countries.

They would thus have the riches and the "dwelling securely" that are required for Ez 38-39.

So long story short, I see Ps 83 could be in next week's headlines with Ez 38 a year or two or so afterwards.

There are many people who take the view Psalm 83 is a war, but there are many people (myself included) who don't see Psalm 83 as a war. God never says he will act on the lament of the author of Psalm 83. If you notice the other prophecies, the Lord says he will do this or that. Psalm 83 is basically a guy who is complaining about the Jewish people being picked on. I think to say it is a war just to "force fit" the thought of Israel being safe and secure is just that....force fitting it. Although...can the Lord act on the Psalmist lament, of course, will He...who knows.

Funny....I think my first post on RR was a question very similar to this one. I then really looked into it and reread Psalm 83 several times. I came up with my view that it is not a war but you should read it several times too. Maybe you will see it as a war.

I see Psalm 83 as a prayer, not war. He is asking God to not be silent or still, - talking to God about their enemies lifting up their heads towards them, consulting together to take crafty counsel against them, and talking about cutting them off as a nation. ( Like those threatening to wipe Israel off the map?) The Psalmist is then asking God to protect them, and to deal with their enemies. (paraphrasing) The Psalmist also prays for God to fill their faces with shame; that they make seek thy name. Even though their enemies are trying to destroy them, they are hoping and praying they will turn their hearts toward God.

IMHO, we are (or Israel is) experiencing Psalm 83 right now. They are an inch away from war every single day. The decision they have to make, is whether or not they want to sit back and wait for their enemies to make good on their threats to attack them, or if they need to go ahead and make the first move in order not to be caught by surprise.

Everything inside of me believes we are extremely close to going home. :yeah

I tend to believe Psalm 83 is a prayer that is answer by God in Isaiah 17 as a major regional war. I ususally lump the two together as the Psalm 83/Isaiah 17 war since many have embraced Bill Salus' study.

The way I explain the two big ME end time wars is Psalm 83/Isaiah 17 are the inner cirlce of countries coming against Isarel and Ezekeil 38-39 are the outer cirlce countries surrounding Israel that come against them shortly after Isaiah 17. I think there may only be a month or two between the two prophetic wars. That is only speculation since scripture is quiet on the timing of either.
