"Mechelle:  rapture timing"


Mechelle:  right you are that http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/may2009/mechelle522.htm   only God Himself knows the correct timing of everything.
 
Wow, "loaded question" about when the Gog-Magog will occur!!   Some will favor before the rapture, (but that wouldn't jive with "life as ordinary" IMO); many say immediately following the rapture, and I tend to wonder if perhaps it may even be at the very end of the millenium..... but then, as you say, who knows for sure?
 
Iran is already ready, willing AND able to come after Israel.   But it will be when Israel is dwelling in peace..... are they NOW??  Will they EVER be during the Trib?? 
 
As far as the other ~ yes, I do believe that the peace treaty signing will be the "starting gun" ~ for the time of Jacob's trouble to begin.   And hahha -- I see where you're coming from about the world being in such a big disarray that why would they even care about a peace agreement......
 
except remember this:  that this will be the "devil's finest hour" ~ and he will want to waste NO TIME in getting into the limelight -- to direct his own man, the AntiChrist to run the world that he (stupidly, mistakenly) thinks now belongs to him!!
 
So some how, some way -- though we do not know the "details", we just know it WILL happen.  And though the world will be freaking out, some how they will think they will see a "brighter tomorrow" because "THEE" world leader just BROUGHT the (impossible)  PEACE TO THE MIDDLE EAST!!!!
 
"All hail the King ______"  they will say (or at least think!)
