Is the Psalm 83 War Next on the Prophetic Timeline?

[Jesus's Girl]

I cannot speak for buzz, but I dont place the God & Magog event in the 4th year....I think it will happen much earlier in the Trib or just before it (but after the Rapture).


Why do you think the Magog Invasion will happen after the Rapture? Just curious. I would love it if the Rapture would take place before the Magog Invasion because we are seeing all the nations listed in Ezekiel 38-39 in line right now. :yeah

I have a feeling we will be out of here before that. :hug

I'm just curious as to why you feel that way. I wish, wish, pray, pray that we won't see the Gog/Magog Invasion because I want the Lord to come NOW! :pray I hear a lot of different theories, but I like your feeling the best. I wish we were outta here that soon because we see the stage set for all the end time events to occur. :pray:pray

Same here ma'am.. I feel with everyday we're getting closer, and frankly I'm ready to go.. Everyday is a spiritual battle...some days I lose, most I win through Christ..I just ask for his Grace and Mercy everyday before I leave the house..

But it'd be great to finally get home w/ all my bros and sis. in the Lord :P:hehee

It is because of these verses:

Ez 39:22 From that day forward the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God.
Ez 39:29 I will no longer hide my face from them, for I will pour out my Spirit on the house of Israel, declares the Sovereign LORD.

What these verses tell us is that Israel is going to return to their Old Testament Covenant with God. Of course, God wants them to accept Jesus as his Messiah. This is the reason for the Tribulation, known in the Old Testament as the Time of Jacob's Trouble. This means a new temple will be built. This means the Church most likely will not be here.

Ezekiel 36-40 gives us a time line for Israel. Ezekiel 36-37 tells us about the returning Jews to Israel, the nation resurrecting, and prospering. Ezekiel 38-39 tells us about a massive invasion that Israel can't stop, only God can, and he does. Ezekiel 40 tells us about a new Temple.

Have you ever heard of the Samson Option? If not, it is an Israeli military option that can only be enacted if Israel is going to be invaded and all looks to be lost. The nation at that point will set off their nuclear weapons killing not only themselves, but also taking their enemies with them. This option came about because Israel refuses to ever experience a holocaust again, although they will when they make a literal pact with the devil.

Here's a thought. Given that the rapture is considered a signless event, one yet to take place, maybe this is the reason for the lack of prophecy type events occurring on the Earth today and in the news.

8 After many days you will be called to arms. In future years you will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all of them live in safety.

Would it be accurate to say that people live safely in Israel nowadays? You know, with the suicide bombers and everything?
Where approximately does this war fit in in the prophecy timeline? Is this war different from the battle of Armageddon?

Please be patient with me, I am a complete beginner when it comes to understanding prophecy.:unsure

:wave lightseeker,

And Welcome to RR!

Prior to the Eze. 38-39 battle, many Bible Scholars believe the prayer of Psa. 83 will be answered by the battle of Isa. 17

This will result in Israel gaining more of its original God-given land-grant and the taking down of many of the walls they now have up to prevent the "palestinians"/Muslims from hurting them. Suicide/Homicide bombings have gone Way Down, since Israel erected these walls.

Israel will at that time be living in what seems to be peace and security.

There are many threads on RR that explain all of the above. Do some searches for "Gog/Magog" "Eze. 38-39" "Psa. 83" "Isa. 17" and "Samson Option".

Reply back if you have any more questions!

Welcome!! Never, ever stop asking questions. If folks here don't know the answers, they'll point us to good, Christian sources to help us find them!

I think now that there have been very few - if any - new suicide bomber attacks in Israel, folks there may be feeling safer. :idunno

I found this from Feb 4, 2008:


First Suicide Bombing in Israel in Over a Year
Monday February 4, 2008
As one blogger describes it, Dimona is "a kind of depressing one-horse town, distinguished by high unemployment and a dearth of entertainment options, in the middle of the Negev" desert. It's a few dozen miles from the Egyptian border. At 10:30 Monday morning, local time, a suicide bomber detonated himself in a shopping center there, killing one woman and injuring 11 people. A second bomber was initially knocked out by the attack, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported, which gave survivors enough time to notice him and his belt of explosives. As he rose to detonate it, police shot him dead.

The last Israeli civilian to be killed in a Palestinian attack was 29 year-old resident of an Israeli settlement near Nablus in the West Bank on Nov. 19, 2007, by gunfire while riding in his car. The last Israeli killed in Israel proper was a 35-year-old man killed in Siderot, near Gaza, when a rocket fired from Gaza landed near his car. The last suicide bombing to claim the life of an Israeli in Israel dates back to Jan. 29, 2007, when a 26-year-old resident of Eilat, the Israeli resort town on the Red Sea, was killed. The significance of the latest attack is three-fold:

* It's the first suicide attack in Israel in over a year, perhaps signaling the end of the truce in suicide bombings Palestinians declared in late 2006.
* According to Israeli authorities, the bombers entered Israel through the Egyptian border with Israel, after slipping out of Gaza when Hamas forces demolished a portion of the separation wall between Gaza and Egypt last month.
* The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a militant arm of al-Fatah, the Palestinian organization once led by Yasser Arafat, claimed responsibility for the bombing. That's significant because most of the bombings had previously been claimed by Hamas, a Fatah rival. Israel's Channel 2 reported that Fatah claimed 2008 would be a year of suicide bombings.

That said, you've got a very good point because Israelis are still hated by the majority of Arabs living in Israel. And the settlers who were recently killed on their way home. How can they feel secure knowing something like that can happen at any time to anyone of them? :idunno
