Dear John and Doves,
                                  There have been many post and speculation's recently about the timing of Ezk 38 & 39 and Isaiah 17:1 especially with the incredible escalation that is currently taking place in the middle east. I'm personally like most of the doves, and believe that if this isn't the time of the fulfillment of Ezk 38 & 39, and Isaiah 17:1 this is definitely the beginning of it. However my mother and I were discussing all of the events going on now, and the prophecies concerning the end of days, and a question was posed that neither one of us could readily answer. It is the prophecy of the destruction on the Palestinians by Israel.  If this has been mentioned on fivedoves recently then both of us missed it. From our perception of this verse it couldn't happen prior to the tribulation because if it did with whom would the antichrist make his covenant? Does the bible state specifically that the covenant is with the Palestinians, or is it just with the ( many ) meaning nations? If it isn't specifically with the Palestinians then maybe this prophecy could be a trigger that starts the Gog-Magog war of Ezk 38 & 39 as well. Just another scenario in this end of days saga as we watch for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. May we all continue to pray for Israel, Jerusalem, and all the innocent civilians being put in harms way daily now. Regardless of the timing of all of these events there is one thing we all know being children of the light, and that is we know the coming of our Lord Jesus is on the horizon!!!!!! Keep looking up Doves our redemption draweth nigh!!!!!!
 
Love your sister in Christ,
Kristy
