Excellent Post question. I love to study these things. For what it's worth, I also remember Eccl 3:15 " Everything that happens has happened before, and all that will be has already been, God does everything over and over again. " In some prophesies we see that some things happened more than once. They signified other things to happen. Words were repeated such as David saying in Psalms 22:1 " [Why Have You Forsaken Me?] My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? " and when Jesus was just about to die, Matt 27:46 " About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI ?" that is, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?" I have been able to see in my own view, Ezek 6 and 7, to be not only the punishment of Israel, but some of the ways that are in America and other countries today and the punishment to come to the end of this time. I believe without a shadow of a doubt tho, that we are undergoing many punishments today as a result of our worlds government and that this has been going on for thousands of years and getting far worse, and as a result of all that we have done in greed to this world. We all see that plain as day. I can go far into all the prophesies fulfilled already, however, as much studying as I've done on that, I find the most important thing Christians HAVE to know is, Mark 3:10 " But before the end comes, the gospel must be preached to all peoples. " And that is the most important thing a Christian can know aside being one with Christ in His holy spirit!
