Peace to you all -
I started to post about this yesterday but had a very busy day (so, thank you and peace to you, dear C&DL, for sharing). As dear Tams (peace to you, dear sister!) pointed out:
Quote:
especially considering the stuff against the embassy was all done in iraq, not iran.
This is very important because had it been done in Iran, Iran would have had absolutely no recourse but to retaliate against this particular "preemptive strike." But I am reminded that Iran's retaliation is against a preemptive strike from Israel, not the US. That said, given Netanyahu's political activities and most probable ability to secure his "rule" yet again, it is logical to think that Israel will very well be "getting ready." Ah, well...
I can see how, if both Trump AND his buddy Netanyahu retain power in the US and Israel, respectively, and given Trump's chumminess with his other buddy, Putin, and that man's position as to Israel (

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel%E2%80%93Russia_relations)... the US and Russia would become allies (not a stretch at all)... and so why I saw one of the "winds" go in that direction (Russia - the others went to the US, GB, and Israel and, at the time, including Russia didn't make sense. It totally does now.).
Add to that the activities taking place at the mouth of the Euphrates (aka, the Strait of Hormuz -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strait_of_Hormuz)...
2019 is past and 2020 is now here. If Mr. Trump is re-elected in 2020 (and I've no doubt he will be, NOT because he's a "good" President but because since the superior authorities are placed in their position by JaH Himself... who better to call out "Peace and security!" after killing every perceived "enemy" of his particular level of "American" (i.e., poor, immigrant, non-white, Middle Eastern, etc.), given the free reign he will undoubtedly grab and have for himself if he is re-elected - indeed, there will be NO stopping him)... and add his corrupt form of leadership to that of Netanyahu, who has been CONVICTED of corruption (and although resigned 3 ministerial positions, is asking immunity from the Israeli government so he can continue as Prime Minister (sigh)... and Putin's... then makes total sense to me that we would see the events occur sometime between 2020-2021.

Why keep an eye on this stuff? No reason, really, other than to be as awake as possible when the Master returns... and the world we live in is even more likely to lull one asleep. How more so when we believe the world is (finally) at "peace"? But
whose peace? Financial prosperity is not a true peace; it is only relative. Even a lull in war is not true peace but only an illusion. There will still be hunger, disease, natural disasters, climate change, tyrannical oppression in 3rd world countries, and the list goes on. If, though, we BELIEVE the Master as to what would occur and when, then we are more apt to stay awake, at least a bit longer than would be if we doubt him or even ignore him.
Each one much decided... and do... for himself/herself (and his/her household), alone, though.
In that light, all should consider what topics move them to speak/share... when... and why. For what profit a man if he gains the entire world... but forfeits his eternal life?
Again, peace to each and every one of you... as Christ gives it.
Your servant, sister, and a slave of Christ,
