The Antichrist’s rise to power before the Tribulation is a biblical necessity. That means whether we recognize him or not is not relevant as he is here now. Since the Tribulation begins virtually with the signing of the covenant between Israel and the Antichrist, it is necessary for the Antichrist to be in sufficient political power to sign such a covenant.

 

The Gog/Magog war will start on Kislev 24 of the Jewish calendar. Haggai describes this war in a very similar way that Ezekiel does with the Gog/Magog war. Haggai even gives the date….the 24th day of the 9th month. Compare Haggai 2:18-22 with Ezekiel 38:18-22.

The Rapture will precede the Gog/Magog war. I believe it will only be a small gap of time of months and not years. Of course, this is just an educated guess as the Bible doesn’t speak on this issue. After the Rapture, the U.S. of America will no longer be militarily capable to protect Israel against Russia and its allies. This allows the Middle East coalition to form against Israel, led by Russia, Persia, Turkey and the other nations mentioned.

 

The Tribulation ends in the latter part of October 2031. Jesus returns 30 days prior to that date.

The years between 2025 and 2031 are the only year timelines (between now and 2034) that meet all of the criteria.
