EZEKIEL's WAR is looming near


In the book of Ezekiel, the Bible foretells of a massively devastating, regional war in the Middle East, which war ~ in my opinion as well as in the opinion of many Bible scholars ~ seems not only to be intimately connected with the consummation of the present Church Age but, quite possibly, the Rapture of the Church may also occur at that same time.  There are numerous reasons given in Scripture, for drawing those conclusions; although, I will not elaborate upon those reasons at this time.  Rather, I want to discuss reasons why it is that the onset of Ezekiel's War ~ described at length in Ezekiel chapters 38-39, appears likely to occur very, very soon.

Let me begin by encouraging you to watch what I consider to be an important video presented by Amir Tsarfati, titled, "The Days of Ezekiel," (click HERE).  In the interest of your time, I recommend that you begin watching the video at the 34:40 time mark.

Importantly, Tsarfati insists (repeatedly, in other of his videos) that the soon-coming destruction of Damascus, the capital city of Syria (which destruction is prophesied in Scripture), shall be the trigger-event to set in motion Ezekiel's War.  I also believe that shall most probably be the case.  How near, then, does the destruction of Damascus appear likely to be?

Following, are some very insightful remarks which today were published by Caroline Glick (source, HERE), which her remarks bear forcefully upon those rapidly unfolding developments which are leading to Ezekiel's War:
"From Israel’s perspective, the most strategically significant aspect of Hezbollah-Iran’s uncontested dominance over all aspects of the Lebanese state is that while they (Iran) control the country (Lebanon), they are not responsible for it. 
"Israeli commanders and politicians often insist that the IDF has deterred Hezbollah from attacking Israel. Israel’s deterrence, they claim, is based on the credibility of our pledge to bomb the civilian buildings now housing Hezbollah rockets and missiles in the opening moments of the next conflict. 
"These claims are untrue, though. Since Hezbollah-Iran are not responsible for Lebanon~despite the fact that they control it through their puppet government, Iranian and Hezbollah leaders won’t be held accountable if Israel razes south Lebanon in the next war. They will open the next war not to secure Lebanon, but to harm Israel. If Lebanon burns to the ground, it will be no sweat off their [Iran's] back. 
"The reason a war hasn’t begun has nothing to do with the credibility of Israel’s threats. It has to do with Iran’s assessment of its interests. So long as the fighting goes on in Syria, it is hard to see Iran ordering Hezbollah to attack Israel. But as soon as it feels comfortable committing Hezbollah forces to a war with Israel, Iran will order it to open fire [on Israel]."
"So long as the fighting goes on in Syria..," is the key.  It is widely acknowledged that the former nation-state of Syria is no more; it has already been reduced to shambles.  Even the capital city of Damascus has suffered extensive destruction ~ but, that destruction is not yet complete.  Tsarfati believes, as I also believe, that something is very soon going to happen which will precipitate a final attack on Damascus which shall result in the complete destruction of that city.  That attack on Damascus, in turn, will probably be the event which will provoke (or, at least, allow) Iran to turn its aggression toward Israel ~ which Iran has openly avowed to obliterate Israel, by any means.

The major actors in Ezekiel's War already have large military forces positioned in Syria, by reason of their respective involvement in the still-ongoing war in Syria.  A sudden catastrophic attack on Damascus (especially by Israel) could easily be anticipated to cause those several nations, i.e., Iran, Russia and Turkey, to join themselves together to come against Israel.

Tsarfati ~ a former Major in the IDF (Israel Defense Forces), says that Israel's military focus is intensely focused upon Damascus.  And Tsarfati believes that Ezekiel's War could begin literally any day, now.

So do I.  Are you ready for the Rapture?
