The war of Psalm 83 , Isaiah 17:1 (Damascus is to fall, and to collapse, and to cease from being a city), and the Rapture will happen prior to the Tribulation Period and will be the genesis of the great invasion of Israel predicted in Ezekiel's prophecy in Ezekiel chapter 38 (Gog and Magog). Within the next 10 months, according to God's word, ALL of End Time prophetic Scripture leading up to the 7 years of Tribulation will have been fulfilled. I look at news while keeping in mind Bible prophecy. That's what being a "watchman on the wall" is all about. An awful lot must happen within the next 10 months. As we enter the last hours of human history as we know it, the "worldly" have no idea of what's coming.

Is that a "selfish desire?" If so, I would hope that others would share that desire. Now please explain what you mean by "an inoculation against true Christianity other than a broken version that resists true Christianity. I'm not quite sure what you are trying to say there and your definition of "true Christianity." Please enlighten us all.

My standard for True Christianity is the Bible, as is Ringo's, and while we may quibble over a detail or two, he and I largely agree that this is the season of Christ's return. I applaud him for his steadfastness in calling for people to turn to Jesus, and for his study of the Scriptures.

Selfish desires: my Scriptural reference 2 Tim 3

So, your answer for "Is this a selfish desire?" is No.

I do not know how I can be clearer about inoculation. There are those who teach that salvation is obtainable through works, and those who teach that it will lead to good things here on Earth. There are those who teach that you can have a moral foundation, while ignoring what the Bible says is moral. Those are weak and broken philosophies that, when they are paraded as christian, can inoculate people against true Christianity.

I agree.
Completely.
Should the Rapture come in the next year, God may have to fill me in on what I misunderstood.
Should both Ringo and I be here in June of 2021 (I think that is after Ringo's deadline), then I hope Ringo and I can dig into the Scriptures to see what he may have misunderstood. Either way, the answer will be found in the Word of God.


Those who are quite hostile to any mention of God are those who need Him most, and again I applaud Ringo for his steadfastness in putting it before them.

I don't have his patience with them and, after a time, will take my discussions elsewhere. The times are evil, and many hearts are made of putty (the more sunlight you shine on them, the harder they get). Most of the Scriptures were written for believers, and we need to have discussions (from time to time) that are free from the noise of unbelievers, apostates, and outright heretics, and that is why I offer web addresses for other places by PM only.
