2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about,
When they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people:
All that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces,
Though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
The above passage from Zechariah 12 highlights a fact that will become apparent during the last of the last days prior to the physical return of our Lord to this earth. When He does return, He will step down on the Mt. of Olives in Jerusalem and there He will judge the nations and then establish His Millennial Kingdom.
Because of what's been happening in the Middle East with the Hamas attack on innocent civilians, the world was shocked. Now that Israel has begun its campaign against Hamas into Gaza, the world is shocked by Israel's alleged brutality, warmongering and so-called "atrocities" against Gazans. This could easily lead the world into WW3.
But what I find fascinating, besides all the prophecy pundits who are all offering their opinion as to which part of Scripture this current conflagration falls into (Ezekiel 38-39? Psalm 83? Armageddon?), is the fact that people are heatedly divided over this whole conflict. It reminds me of what the world went through with COVID.
During COVID, people were also vehemently divided. Those who thought masks were the be-all, end-all until the jab was available, were quick to judge anyone who did not wear one, labeling them potential "murderers" because of what they were allegedly spreading. Many got on their social network soapbox to even wish for the "anti-maskers" to die and hoped they received no medical help if they got sick. Once the jab became available, this type of jargon became common place as some of the most despicable communications ever. People were so afraid and self-centered that they actually wanted others who did not agree with them to die. Think about that for a minute. I'm quite certain the globalists who created the problem laughed themselves silly while they dined on the most expensive meals available and toasted with the finest wines, all without masks and social distancing. They were besides themselves with glee at how well it appeared their plan to subjugate humanity was playing out.
But that eventually started to die out with interest in clot shots at an all-time low, with the current uptake for the next CV booster at roughly just over 1% of the population, which means that Pfizer and others have taken tremendous losses and are in the process of laying people off.
So, what happened next? Hamas infiltrated and attacked Israel, allegedly without Israel suspecting a thing. I'm still not sure how that happened but we'll probably never know if it was due to a system failure or a deliberate stand down in order to have a reason to go after Hamas (and ultimately, Iran and their other proxies).
So here we are in the middle of watching things ramp up to the point where nuclear warheads might come into play. I read yesterday that the United States has increased the draft age to 40. That tells us something right there regarding the USA's potential direct involvement.
But I've noticed that people I've respected up to now who have always talked turkey about COVID and other things the mainstream media ignores, have taken the side of terrorists against Israel. For instance, I was reading through one woman's Telegram channel the other day and noticed that at every turn, she questioned or even outright denied claims by the Israelis and favored the Gazan side of things.
Recently, a story came out that Hamas had gone into one Jewish home in Israel and took an infant and put it in an oven, literally baking it alive. The woman on her Telegram channel posted that this was apparently "fake" news. Why? Because a Jewish man had come out and denied that it happened. Yet she did not offer proof...
