Do you believe the rapture will be before, during, or after the Ezekiel 38 war, and why? I have been doing a lot of reading from the Bible, reading articles, watching sermons about this topic. I think it could go either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it could go either way. Short answer, we don't know. But there can be no doubt in anyone's mind that the Gog-Magog players, politics and machinery is rapidly shaping up. In my opinion, it's possible that we may see some of these events come about before the Rapture. But one thing there's no debate about, the Rapture is one day closer than it was yesterday! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there's different views of when the tribulation starts. But the overwhelming consensus of most reputable scholars and mine as well, is at the moment the Antichrist 'confirms' a seven year peace deal with many, to include Israel. That's the start of the seven year tribulation, some would say it's 3 1/2 years, etc. Again there are different views of the timing of the Ezekiel 38: invasion. Some say it's at the beginning of the seven year tribulation, some say at different times during the tribulation. I personally don't know, but I have a suspicion it is before the tribulation. Whenever it is, based on world events, what, who and why in Syria (Russia, Iran and Turkey). Libya and Sudan's recent alliances and pacts now with Russia (all the major Gog-Magog players). I just don't see this Israeli invasion occurring ten years down the road. Nope, I see it as something that's imminent and in the foreseeable future.

Hi Tigger, The beginning of the Tribulation is when Israel signs a peace treaty with the Anti_Christ. Daniel 9:27 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing he will set up an abomination that causes desolation until the end that is decreed is poured out on him. The rapture can happen now at any time, Dennis is right to say that today is one-day closer then it was yesterday. Maranatha, please Lord Jesus come!

Please notice the "he" is not capitalized noting it is not God, and take who and what is being talked about into proper context. בְּרִית bᵉrîyth, ber-eeth' from H1262 (in the sense of cutting [like H1254]); a compact (because made by passing between pieces of flesh):—confederacy, (con-) feder(-ate), covenant, league.
