Over 1200 Israelis have died as a result of the Hamas attack on Oct 7. I condemn it on the strongest grounds. But as a result of this action over 32,000 Palestinians have died. And predictions are that widespread starvation and death is inevitable for many Palestinians.

I don't take issue with your presentation nor your heart, brother. Here's the issue at hand: This isn't the first time that narrative has been broadcasted to the public. Portions of it (or even the entire ball of wax) have been dramatized in books and movies at times when the end seemed to be upon us all, not to mention radio broadcasts and the like. When that narrative outline did not come to pass, great scorn was heaped upon the proponents of false prognostication by the lost... and rightfully so. Indeed, waves of false prophets preaching this peculiar style of interpretation have come and then vanished from the scene, but it appears that many who were inclined to believe their error never learned from the experience. They were poised to eagerly trumpet the next "Hal Lindsey" to come along, once again earning the scorn of the lost and providing militant atheists with greater stores of ammunition with which to blaspheme the name of the Lord. "Preaching prophecy" avails us nothing, my friend. Consider the recently referenced examples of New Testament sermons to witness what we ought to preach: Christ, and Him crucified. Appealing to fear and terror --- or seeking to whip both up in your audience --- has been the time-honored stock and trade of charlatans over the past 200 years or so. That's what they do best. If one's example and those words which the Lord promises to furnish us when the hour of our testimony arrives are somehow insufficient, then what does that say? It says that our hands are required to steady the ark.

Below is something I've been playing with (and mentioned it in another thread).  I see an opportunity to share with unsaved about things occurring toward the end of this age, so that there might be an opening for the Good News.  For believers, the end of the age is about His Kingdom being manifested, but to unsaved, this is "the end of the world."  To us the apocalypse means the wonderful, full unveiling of Christ and the sons of God; but to unbelievers it is something full of dreadful fear.  The Lord can use that fear for the entrance of His Word! So the 10 steps below are a very basic conveying of my thoughts on what is, and will soon occur, concerning Jerusalem and the middle east.  It is, of course, according to my own theology and my understanding of prophesy.  For nonbelievers I would want to keep it real simple, and might just share points #1 and #2, and perhaps #4, 6-7.  For instance, I probably wouldn't get much into matters concerning the raptures (I believe in multiple, partial raptures).  And I know that believers might have varying views and opinions about some of these events (especially the raptures & manchild), but my purpose in conveying these is in hope that we may see a clear way to present simple, end of the age prophesies to the unsaved, as a means for the gospel. My basic Understanding of Prophetic Last Week (7 years) of this Age as an Abbreviated Outline:  1.    The background - Israel returned in 1948 to become a nation again, after 2,000 years of dispersal throughout the world. This is unprecedented in history.  2.    Soon, serious conflict in the middle east/Israel will have the whole world greatly disturbed. A charismatic leader arises to power who makes a grand 7 year treaty with Israel and her enemies – great peace and prosperity takes place in the world (but also many disturbing/destructive natural calamities occur). This is the beginning of the final 7 years. 3.    First-fruits (early rapture) are taken directly to God’s throne somewhere in first 3.5 years of the treaty. Next items happen in rapid succession mid-way through the final week (3.5 years from treaty enactment): 4.    Charismatic leader dealt death blow 5.    Manchild taken to heaven - Satan is cast down to earth 6.    Dead leader comes back to life supernaturally 7.    Leader breaks treaty 3.5 years after signing it & desecrates the Jerusalem temple, setting himself up as God there 8.    Final 3.5 years start – supernatural calamities upon the whole earth - two witnesses appear Toward the end of last 3.5 years (end of 7 year week): 9.    Large armies gather to middle east – battle of Armageddon 10.   Christ returns to defeat armies and antichrist, and to set up His kingdom on the earth
