This is unclear. You talk about the "possibility of finding Gilgamesh's tomb," but then imply that it has already been found because (apparently) his DNA has been sequenced. Care to clear up the seeming contradiction here?

Pardon me? Man has been doing that for a long time. When man takes genes out of one creature or other life-form, and inserts those genes into other life-forms, he is changing what God created. And by the way, that is exactly what the fallen angels did, which caused them to all be destroyed during "the days of Noah." One reason for the reference of Jesus to that time in Matthew 24.

Zech. 14 doesn't even hint about an abomination of desolation.

First of all, Gentiles were never required to follow the Law of Moses, as Paul says explicitly in many places. Which is why many Messianic Jews say that Paul was either a heretic, or merely voicing his opinion. What say you? Secondly, your presumption that Matthew 5:17-18 -- 17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill [G4137: πληρῶσαι: to make full, to fill up, i.e. to fill to the full]. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is completed [G1096: γένηται: to become, i.e. to come to pass, happen]." -- means that the Law of Moses applied to the Church, which only developed after the Crucifixion, is a sketchy argument. Because in His sacrifice for sins -- which fulfilled once and for all the blood sacrifice for all the sins of mankind forever -- meant that the Mosaic Law of blood sacrifice had been fulfilled. Completed. Do you still offer the blood of bulls and goats for your sins? As required by the Law of Moses?

General Kelly is a consummate deep-stater, one of many that Trump foolishly trusted.

Trump is learning to talk like the Apostles did? 1 Cor. 15:32 If, in the manner of men, I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? 2 Peter 2:12 But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption. Jude 1:10 But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves. Some of them are simply waking up to the reality that Biden's ultra-liberal policies are bringing the country into the toilet. Advocacy of sexual perversion of every kind, unrestrained government spending, and lawlessness always bring about bad consequences over time. Unfortunately, when the popular backlash comes, like in Germany in the late 1920s and early '30s (when similar ultra-liberal policies held sway), oftentimes the result is an extremely repressive conservative government.

Jasher 61:14 And it was one day that Zepho lost a young heifer, and he went to seek it, and he heard it lowing round about the mountain. 15 And Zepho went and he saw and behold there was a large cave at the bottom of the mountain, and there was a great stone there at the entrance of the cave, and Zepho split the stone and he came into the cave and he looked and behold, a large animal was devouring the ox; from the middle upward it resembled a man, and from the middle downward it resembled an animal, and Zepho rose up against the animal and slew it with his sword.

Matthew 24:21 “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be." Daniel 12:1 “At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time."

Book of Jasher 4:18 ... and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals.

Nonsense. It is about a whole lot more than the Messiah. Major chapters, such as 8 and 11, never even hint of the Messiah. And He is only briefly mentioned in Daniel 9.

While I applaud the many truths of your message, this statement is not actually correct. Trump pledged to "drain the swamp." Not only did he not do so, under his administration it actually grew. Because Trump was too susceptible to flattery to discern friends from frenemies, and appointed loads of swamp creatures to high positions in Justice, the FBI, military, and other places, including his first two chiefs of staff. So unless he designates before the election the PEOPLE he will place in positions of power, I can't trust that he won't screw up as badly this time as last. Because I don't see at this time that his basic nature has changed.

Probably the most relevant, for our day, mistranslated verse is Daniel 12:11, where practically all translations leave out the preposition "to" [לָ] before 'set up'; the words literally mean "to the placing of an abomination of desolation..."

Your presumption. Verse 27 says nothing at all about the Messiah. The vav-consecutive that begins the verse directly relates the narrative to the nagyd that destroys Jerusalem and the Temple in verse 26b.

The Gospel stories about Jesus start before that first mentioned Passover, but His actual public ministry started at that time. Events before then were private affairs.

Agreed. Also agreed. The context is the Great Tribulation, the escape refers to "all these [very bad] things" that will take place during the GT. Which the Church must go through. Many will be martyred, but apparently most of the elect/chosen won't. It is only "immediately after the tribulation of those days" [Mt. 24:29] that the Parousia of Christ will take place [24:3, 27], that bringing the resurrection of the dead [1 Cor. 15:23, 51-54; 1 Thes. 4:14] and the rapture of the chosen [1 Thes. 4:17].

Matthew Henry wrote well over 300 years ago, and his understanding of Egyptian history is badly dated. Have you read Velikovsky's Ramses II and His Time? Suffice it to say, Egypt was not desolate for 40 years during the time Henry claims, nor was the river at all dried up, and no amount of allegorizing-away the End Time prophecies of Ezekiel and Isaiah about Egypt is justified. These things are yet to be fulfilled in actuality. Soon. Jesus will come at His Parousia, the time of the resurrection of the dead and the rapture. Immediately after which, the period of the wrath of God [which begins at Rev. 6:17] will cover 40 years. But once Jesus' Presence enters back into the world, He will not leave being involved in it. All explained in a number of my blogs, the most detailed series here: 48.

Those passages don't say what you claim they do. The OT says absolutely nothing about the Church. Luke 21:34 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” Verse 36 says that there are those who will be able " to escape all these things." As does 1 Thes. 5:1-9 The "standing before the Son of Man" takes place for "the ones coming out of the great tribulation." Rev. 7:9, 14 The GT precedes the Wrath.

Entirely unhistorical claims, having nothing to do with the scriptures I cited. But you may believe whatever you like.

Short answer: there is a difference between the elect of the Church who will be removed before the wrath, and the non-elect of Israel who will go through it.

Just because so-called Messianic Judaism is increasing means that they have a lock on salvation. There are lots of false doctrines, infightings, and struggles for dominance amongst the Messianic leaders. They do a lot of (often-justified) finger-pointing at non-Messianic Christians, but they too often cannot see the logs in their own eyes. So stick to actual Biblical doctrine, and flee from prideful posing and boasting.

All of these OT prophecies refer to "the great day of His wrath." Rev. 6:17 But the Lord will deliver the elect of His people, His bridal company, immediately before that Wrath begins to be poured out. 1 Thes. 5:9 For God did not appoint us to wrath...

The Beast will kill the Two Witnesses, yes, but nothing Revelation 11 says he attacks Jerusalem. You're putting into the passage something that is not there. Something that you do a lot of.

If no one gets 270 delegates, the next President will be elected by the House of Representatives.

First, defending one's own territory is not the same, by far, as "reign[ing] over the kings of the earth.” Second, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt had inferior armies. Third, Israel only prevailed due to military equipment provided by other countries, the US being by far the majorsupplier. Israel would have been overrun by sheer numbers otherwise. Fourth, Israel by no means reigns over China, Russia, the US, and a multitude of other foreign powers. Reality check.

Revelation 17:16 “And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.” This is not the case with "the Israeli government." Not by a long shot!
