Apocalypse running. Only 2 events now.

Well to get a little more complicated we also have this prophecy.

Book of Hosea in it's entirety.  But specifically chapter 6 verses 1, 2, and 3.

1Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
2After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
3Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

Simply put Hosea is predicting a long term top level curse on Israel and Judah.  But verse 6:2 is the timeline of the prophecy.  As I said with 2nd Peter 3:8 those days are 1000 year periods of time.  

Israel was to be cursed for 2000 years and then blessed for a 1000.  So it appears back in the first century AD this 3000 year event started.   With New Jerusalem the finale.

Well, Doing an update.  Still watching Iran and realized that after losing to Israel and Iran in that last little war of theirs I'm afraid we may be in what's called the "days of the tribulation of the carcass". 

As I said before I believe the carcass reference there in Matthew 24:28 refers back to the Daniel 8 prophecy.

28For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

And that it refers to 3 middle eastern countries losing to a powerful country in the west.  And technically the US has managed the hat trick and conquered 3.   Though I do think it means a complete victory with the existing Iranian government being deposed.  

That being said there is major problems in Iran. Electricity and water problems to begin with.

Tehran evacuations about to start. 
Iran water crisis.

That's the news for now but I would be keeping an eye out for either one more war or a revolt that takes out that government.

Well, if the Apocalypse  happens or is happening, all we can do is try to survive the event.  Having some food stores will help, but in the end, if there is a major world war including nukes, we might be toast or be living in hell on earth. 

I am not going to worry about the Apocalypse, I can't do anything about it so why worry.  We have little power to control what the people in charge get us into.  They will just think we know nothing about anything, and keep doing what they do if we object to what is going on.  Been that way all along, and it is even worse these days.  If you are a Democrat and don't agree fully with what they are pushing, they will treat you like an advosary.  Same goes with many Republicans in power, even though the Republican congressmen seem to be a little more apt to listen than the Democrats in charge do.  Politicians in high places usually represent their party, not the people of the district that elects them..

It is the same way almost everywhere, the vast majority are peons...or serfs.  Not to be mistaken for smirfs.

Good job on tying in the Iran news with your prophecy mention.
Very interesting.

I take it you have heard of dispensationalism?

I'm aware of it.   And after looking at prophecy I'm pretty certain Jesus Christ believed the prophesies of Daniel were to repeat in their entirety.  Daniel 8 and 11 specifically.  And I also believe the battle of the ram and goat prophecy of Daniel 8 is about to consummate. A major end time event running below the radar of 99% of the worlds population.

It appears theologists are still working out the kinks in their theoretical debates as to the timeline of the end time:

Definition of Dispensationalism:

"Dispensationalists insist the Bible must be read literally. They believe that since there were literal Old Testament promises to Israel regarding ethnic and national Israel, those promises must be fulfilled in the millennium, or God is false. They also argue that the church is a wholly distinct New Testament unit separate from Israel."

"Dispensational theological practices become unbiblical when they are applied to the whole Bible without accounting for the “whole counsel of God” (Acts 20:27). With a framework that emphasizes the different roles of Israel and the church and their separation into two distinct entities, strict dispensational theology greatly differs from clear biblical teaching. A Christian is implored to carefully study the Bible, approaching it prayerfully and without preconceptions that hinder the revelation given by God’s Word through His Spirit."

---Early dispensational thought developed in the 19th century, notably popularized by figures like John Nelson Darby, who emphasized distinct “eras” and a clear distinction between Israel and the Church. Over time, theologians refined dispensationalism, introducing modifications that recognized a greater theological continuity.
 
Progressive Dispensationalism emerged more explicitly in the late 20th century. Scholars sought to highlight the ongoing and unified narrative of God’s redemptive plan, emphasizing that Christ’s rule, promised to David, began at His ascension (see Acts 2:29-36). This perspective maintains fidelity to a literal interpretation of Scripture while emphasizing God’s overarching covenant plan, manifesting itself in progressive stages.

What defines Progressive Dispensationalism in Christian theology?

"Unity in Diversity: Since God’s promises extend to all nations, it prompts genuine love, evangelism, and cooperation among believers."
