Hey John and Doves,


I was pondering over 1 Thessalonians 5:3 (full chapter linked below). We have to look at the audience this was addressed to. The early Christians. And, lets face it - most scripture and prophecy revolve around Israel and the Jewish people. What happens to Israel, impacts the world.


"For when they shall say Peace and Safety, sudden destruction comes as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape".


Firstly - Israel is often referred to as "the woman" and is often described, in Jacob's Trouble, as being in labour. I put it to you that this prophecy is telling us that it is Israel who will be saying the Peace and Safety words. And the only way that Israel would be saying these words is if she felt she had defeated her surrounding enemies. Of which, there are many. My reasoning comes from scripture. The Psalm 83 war , I strongly believe, leads to Isaiah 17 and the destruction of Damascus. Directly after defeating her enemies, Israeli leaders will be breathing a sigh of relief and saying - "At last, we have peace and safety". Little knowing that the armies of Ezekiel 38 (all currently engaged in a war in Ukraine v Russia) will unite to attack Israel en masse, as a result of the destruction of Damascus. Almighty God will put hooks in their jaws and drag them down from the far north to attack Israel.


I also believe the above scenarios will happen soon - and quickly.


Please come, LORD Jesus.
