John and Doves,

Since there are only 7 years to be identified in the Last Days according to Daniel Chapter 9, let's identify them.

When did they BEGIN?

They began when Menachem  BEGIN

(bay-gin) signed the covenant, the Camp David Peace Accords, with Egypt on 3-26-79. 

President Carter signed the covenant as the United States being the guarantor of Israel's Security.

This began the time of "Jacob's Trouble" 

(Jeremiah 30:7); 

for Israel had turned her protection and trust over to a foreign nation, instead of to God Almighty.

Israel was strictly forbidden to do this:    Deuteronomy 7:2 ;

Exodus 23:32 ;

Exodus 34: 12-15.

During the next 3+1/2

years (42 months), Israel and the U.S. worked out the logistics militarily, financially and politically until our forces became coupled with Israel's forces,

and we proved it on 

9-26-82 when we relieved 

the I D F forces in Lebanon.

Israeli forces left Lebanon and returned to Israel on the eve of Yom Kippur  1982.

That interchange sealed the deal.

THE GAP

At the conclusion of the interchange, the time- clock stopped temporarily. A GAP of time

would now take place before the time line would begin again.

Just like there was a GAP of time between the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, where Daniel's 69th "week" ended, and between the 70th "week" which began again on

 3-26-79.

So far, this GAP has lasted for 42 years.

RUMORS OF WARS

Lately the world has taken notice of Russia, Iran and Turkey aligning militarily in outspoken aggression against Israel.

This Confederacy includes factions from Africa  (Libya, Sudan) "And many people with thee"

(Ezekiel 38:6....Cuba? Venezuela? etc?)

RED OCTOBER ?

It is believed that Iran will have the nuclear bomb destined for Israel in a few weeks. 

Israel has alerted the world that she will prevent that from occurring, even if she has to act alone.

She will most likely make a preventive *strategic* strike on Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant, thus saving the planet from

World War 3.

For being so forward thinking, Israel should be hailed as a saving-nation, and awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

But we know that will never happen.

Instead, in total revenge and fury, the Russian Confederacy will ascend like a cloud upon the mountains of Isreal, and unleash unimaginable amounts of radiation and bio-chemical warfare such as the world has never seen before.

The stratosphere will carry the lethal poison around to all the nations on the globe.

Revelation 8:7-12, Trumpets 1-4.

A SECOND CHANCE

This time, Israel will not make the same mistake twice. 

She will put her total trust in God Almighty *alone*. God will fight for her, vanquish the enemy,

and the world will sigh a sigh of relief and say,  

"Finally! Peace and Safety!"

without giving God the honor due Him.

But Israel will realize that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob has manifested Himself once again to them.

"So the house of Israel shall know that I AM the LORD their God from that day and forward."

Ezekiel 39:22.

It is my own personal belief that that is the day when the time line begins *for Israel* of the GREAT Tribulation. 

Matthew 24:21

The celebration of "peace and safety" will be short lived, for then "*sudden* destruction shall come upon them ( the world ) and they (the world) shall not escape."

1 Thessalonians 5:3

AMOS 5: 19

"As if a man did flee from a lion, 

( Arab wars Ez. 32:2)

and a bear met him."

(Magog War)

ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION

Or went into the house, 

(Israel within)

and leaned his hand on the Wall ( wailing wall ?) 

and a serpent (Satan) bit him." 

( traitorous forces plus  a i  forces in the Temple Plaza)."  

Amos 5:19 and

Joel 2: 1--11.

The *GREAT* Tribulation

That is when Israelis will flee for their lives...

Matthew 24:15--21.

And they will be protected and nurtured by God Himself for a 

time, times and half-a-time (3 +1/2 years )

Revelation 12:14--17.

"And so ALL Israel shall be saved." Romans 11:26

When will the final 3+1/2

years end ?

In the Spring of 2025, as I see it.

 Then the Lord of Lords and King of Kings will return with His saints in glory to rule and reign for 1,000 years of peace from Jerusalem.

And all the nations of the world will send their representatives up yearly to Jerusalem at the Feast of Sukkot 

(Ingathering, Booths ) to give honor, glory, praise and worship to our true Prince of Peace, our King of Peace in Jerusalem.

And they will ask for rain and blessings for the next year's harvest.

Alleluia!!! Amen !
