Remember when Joe Biden laughed like a sick hyena during the debate with Paul Ryan? I believe that this is a tactic that the Marxist/Dems are using. They think it makes their opponents appear stupid. Think about Kamala Harris’s annoying laugh!
Tomorrow, watch for Joe to laugh at everything our president says. Be praying that it BACKFIRES on him and that President Trump will handle himself brilliantly!

The End of the Age: A Plausible Timeline
By Pete Garcia and Randy Nettles
There are few prophecies in the Bible that are both as perplexing, and yet, irrefutable, as the coming war of Gog and Magog. This 2,500-year-old prophecy had appeared all but impossible for at least 2,000 of those 2,500 years, primarily because, Israel did not exist as a sovereign nation. Furthermore, the geopolitical confederation described in Ezekiel 38-39, has never happened before historically. However, since the turn of the 20th-century, the evolving geopolitical landscape appeared to be unfolding in such a manner that seemed to be laying an undeniable (or inescapable) foundation for this particular prophecy to come to pass. Even heads of state were wondering, albeit erroneously, if they were not in some manner, fulfilling this particular event.
Gog and Magog are at work in the Middle East… The biblical prophecies are being fulfilled… This confrontation is willed by God, who wants to use this conflict to erase his people’s enemies before a New Age begins.
Quote attributed to Pres. George W. Bush by French Pres. Jacques Chirac circa 2003 (Source)
First, some basic clarification about the intent of this particular joint effort between Randy and me. We both believe we should always exercise discernment between the knowable and unknowable prophetic events described in Scripture. For instance, even though we know and agree that the Rapture of the Church will happen before the Tribulation (Daniel’s 70th Week), we are not going to know when exactly (i.e., day or hour), because Jesus Himself said as much (Matt. 24:36). However, that is the only prophetic event we are specifically told we cannot know the day or hour. Nevertheless, we are told that we can and should know the season (years) of the Rapture based on the biblical signs given to us (1st Thess. 5:1-4). In other words, we know we are close, but we cannot see exactly how close. Since the Rapture sets in motion the rest of the events surrounding Daniel’s 70th Week, it makes our attempt here, our best theory.
Secondly, there is the issues of logistics and realism. The simple fact of the matter is that certain prophecies take a considerable amount of geopolitical/ technological/ economic/ political/ military muscle-movement to go from concept to reality. In other words, prophetic fulfillment does not usually happen in a vacuum. Granted, with God, all things are possible, so I am not saying He cannot or does not do the impossible. However, (with few exceptions) God has chosen to use/allow natural processes to come to their own prophetic fulfillment often without direct divine intervention. More often than not, the divine intervention usually comes after a prophetic event is already in motion, as we will see concerning Ezekiel’s prophecy. Thus, if Ezekiel 38-39 falls into the knowable category (I believe it does given the necessary geopolitical groundwork), then we can move from the how/why it happens, to simply, when.

Assessment
While this article primarily deals with the Gog-Magog war as a fulcrum of sorts, it is unquestionably tied into the prophetic events both preceding and succeeding it as well. I believe the Gog/Magog war of Ezekiel 38 – 39 takes place shortly after the Rapture of the Church, but before the seven-year Tribulation (aka Daniel’s 70th Week). However, if true, then it must occur at least seven years before the “in the midst’ moment of the abomination of desolation as described in Matthew 24:15-22. This is because according to Ezekiel, the Jews would burn the weapons of the armies of the nations that attacked them for a period of seven years (Ezekiel 39:9-10).
Simultaneous too and juxtaposed with this same period of time, is the warning Jesus gives in His Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24:15-17). Here, He warned that when they (that generation) sees the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel that they should flee to the mountains. He said that the Jews living in Israel should not waste time getting items out of their house, not even their clothes, but to flee for their lives. Now, if this is the case, then the Jews that are fleeing will not be bothering to burn weapons or continue doing any type of cleanup operations in a post-Magog War world. The weapons should have already been burned up by this time.
While we cannot be dogmatic about the exact timing of this certain event, we must consider some things. Bearing in mind two things: logistics, and pattern. Wars are extremely logistics driven. You have to have soldiers, equipment, and motive all in check and ready to go long before you can actually pull the trigger. Secondly, this prophecy is concerning the nation of Israel. Almost everything biblically comes to some pattern concerning national Israel and her feast days. These feast days are divinely appointed events that affect national Israel, and given the propensity for God to use holy feast days as done in the past, we can look over the next decade to see which dates align the best.
“The Gog/Magog war will start on Kislev 24 of the Jewish calendar. Haggai describes this war in a very similar way that Ezekiel does with the Gog/Magog war. Haggai even gives the date… the 24th day of the 9th month. Compare Haggai 2:18-22 with Ezekiel 38:18-22.
The Rapture will precede the Gog/Magog war. I believe it will only be a small gap of time of months and not years. Of course, this is just an educated guess, as the Bible doesn’t speak on this issue. After the Rapture, the U.S. of America will no longer be militarily capable to protect Israel against Russia and her allies. They will only be able to give a mild protest to the U.N. regarding this invasion (Ezekiel 38:13).” {1}
If this is true, that means there will be four years between this war and the start of the Tribulation. The years of 2022-2029 for the 2nd Coming does not fit within these parameters as there is not enough time for the seven-year interval (Gog/Magog war-Abomination of Desolation) to occur. The earliest this seven-year interval could happen is 2024-2031. For this date to be correct, the Gog/Magog war would have to begin on Dec.9, 2020. While it is possible, I think it is highly unlikely it could happen this soon.
The years 2025-2032 allow for a little more time for this war to occur, but there is nothing prophetically significant about the dates in this time period. The one that really “stands out” is 2026-2033. The dates line up well with the Feasts of the Lord and other important Jewish historical anniversaries. Of course, the most important aspect of this seven-year timeline is that the year 2033 will commemorate the 2000th year since Jesus was last seen on planet earth. In addition, the years A.D. 33 and 2026 align up perfectly on both the Jewish and Gregorian calendar as described in In the Midst: Part III. This alignment also correlates with the Church’s conception AD 33 and with the start of the future Tribulation in the year AD 2026, when the Antichrist signs/confirms the peace covenant with Israel and the many for seven years.
Here are the end-time events and dates for this period, as well as some pre-Tribulation events and their speculative dates. Of course, these dates are best guesses, but they seem to make sense as God has frequently orchestrated certain important events for Israel to occur on the same day of the month (Jewish calendar). That will be an article for another time. I have listed the events in what I believe to be chronological order.
PRE-TRIBULATION EVENTS – A.D. 2020-2026
These verses describe the miracles that these two Old Testament prophets performed during their ministry….calling fire from heaven (Elijah) and tuning blood to water (Moses). God always has commanded for the truth of the matter to be determined by at least two witnesses. These two witness will preach the gospel and truth to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the world for 1,260 days. I believe the start of their ministry will occur one month before the start of the Tribulation on November 10, 2026/ Heshvan 21, 2026. The reason for this date will be made known as we continue with our timeline of end time events. This is the last Pre-Tribulation event to occur before Jacob’s Trouble/ Daniel’s 70th Seven officially starts.
TRIBULATION EVENTS – A.D. 2026-2033
According to Revelation 6:2, the Antichrist is considered powerful as he is given a crown, and is carrying a bow, which represents a weapon. However, he has no arrows, so he is seen as a “man of peace”. This event coincides with the first seal being opened by Jesus in heaven. The Antichrist is the rider on the white horse who comes to take peace from the world.
The un-holy trinity of Satan, Antichrist, and the False Prophet will attempt to imitate these same events. The Antichrist will be killed on Passover, April 16, 2030/Nisan 14, and resurrected three days later on April 19, Nisan 17 as Jesus was in A.D.33 (Jewish calendar). His first act after the Abomination of Desolation as “King of the Jews,” will be to kill the Jews and try to finish the job that Hitler began. Whereas Hitler killed one-third of the Jews, the Antichrist will kill two-thirds. The Jews will flee to Petra, Jordan where the Lord will supernaturally protect them for 1,260 days (until Jesus returns at the Second Coming).
Empowered by Satan, the Antichrist will kill the Two Witnesses on this day, fulfilling the prophecy of their 1,260 day (Nov. 10, 2026 – April 12, 2030) appointed ministry. What a tragic day it will be indeed! This is the day of decision for the peoples of the world to accept the “mark of the beast” or not. To not accept the mark is a sure death sentence. To accept it means you will go to the Lake of Fire for eternity. Once this “tattoo” (or whatever kind of mark it is) is on you, it remains with you forever. This is the point in human history where literally “all Hell breaks loose” on earth and the judgments of God become intensely severe. It known as the “Great Tribulation.”
The next day, October 24, 2033, will be the first day of the millennial reign of Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords. It will be Heshvan 1 on the Jewish calendar. Satan, nor his demons will not be found on earth, nor their hideous influence felt for a thousand years. The earth will become like the Garden of Eden again; Eden 2.0 will commence. This will last for one-thousand years until at the end; Satan is loosed for a short season.
We do not know how long this season is, but it is enough time for him to attempt one last rebellion against God and His chosen people (Rev. 20:7-10). Gog and Magog 2.0 (this millennial confederation of the unregenerate wicked) attempts to surround Jerusalem and wipe Jesus off the face of the earth. However, the battle is over before it even begins, as fire comes down from heaven and consumes the wicked. After this, the Great White Throne Judgment, where the wicked from all ages, are judged and condemned to the Lake of Fire for all eternity.
Beyond this is the realm of the eternal. Although the Bible does go into some detail (Revelation 20-21), the former things are passed away. God destroys our old heaven and earth, and makes an even better one that will last for eternity. It will not take Him six days to create, but will be instantaneous. Reality will finally become the way it was always intended to be, with God physically dwelling amongst His people. Moreover, we, as His children, will inherit it all!
Amen, even so, come Lord Jesus.
End Notes:
Our Lord Jesus told us that there would be perilous times in the end of days. I am not saying that we are in the time of Tribulation. We are in perilous times. I cannot imagine the last 3 1/2 years of Tribulation. I am so grateful that we will not be here to experience that. We will be with our precious Lord in heaven.
If you realize that you are not right with God, I will post a link at the end of this article to show you how you can be saved. I pray that many will make that decision today. But do not be deceived. God knows our hearts and He will not be mocked.. He knows whether we are sincere or not. Saying a prayer and considering it an insurance policy to keep you out of hell, is not a prayer from your heart.
From Marx and Bakunin to Saul Alinsky and Antifa, the radical Left has always had a fixation with Lucifer.
“This is basically Antifa witches,” Dakota Bracciale said in an interview with Newsweek. “We’re coming for these people’s throats, and we will never stop, we will never be silenced…. There are a lot of angry people who are righteously filled with rage that are going to take back our country.”
Dakota Bracciale, who identifies herself as a witch, was talking to Newsweek about the highly publicized October 20 event she was organizing, in which a coven of Brooklyn witches would cast a hex “to make Kavanaugh suffer.” She was referring, of course, to the newly confirmed U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
The public cursing of Justice Kavanaugh by the “Antifa witches” captured a few headlines during a couple of news cycles, but it was largely passed off by the “mainstream” media either merely as an oddity, or, in some instances, as a straight, newsworthy event that often was covered somewhat sympathetically.
However, the spell-casting session, which took place at Catland Books, an occult bookstore in Brooklyn, offers an opportunity for insight into the psychological and spiritual roots of the violent rage that so typifies Antifa, the Women’s March, the anti-Trump “Resistance,” and “Indivisible,” and the other foaming-at-the-mouth Democrats, commentators, and demonstrators that are brimming with uncontrolled wrath and hatred these days — even while they mindlessly chant “Stop the Hate”! Confronted by the total irrationality of these people and the ferocity of their rage, most normal people are left scratching their heads, wondering what could possibly have inspired such “craziness.”
Here’s a clue: Much of the political rage that passes for “craziness” today is not merely the result of psychological disorder, but also of spiritual disorder. Most communists, Marxists, Maoists, Stalinists, Leninists, etc., publicly claim to be atheist materialists. They insist that God doesn’t exist, that the idea of “God” is a rancid myth, and religion is the “opiate of the people.” However, throughout the history of revolutionary communism, we see over and over again words and behavior from leading theorists and practitioners of the revolutionary cause that belie this disbelief. In fact, many of these professional atheists do believe in God; they just choose to oppose, defy, and hate Him. And they hate not only God and those who believe in Him, but also hate the moral, social, and political order they associate with God. Like Lucifer, they wish to be gods and to refashion the world according to their own utopian whims and desires.
From Marx and Bakunin to Saul Alinsky and Antifa, we see many examples of leaders of the radical Left expressing a disturbing fixation with Lucifer, along with their nihilistic rage for destruction. If this is news to you, it most likely is as well to many leftist “scholars,” since it is a side of the revolution that is largely hidden in plain sight. We will get into specifics on this momentarily, but first, back to Catland’s “Antifa witches.”
Witch Bracciale assures us she is a “spiritual” person. “The reality is, if you are a spiritual person, if you believe in religion or spirituality, that’s another dimension to your existence,” she explained. “If you’re going through hardship, you want to make sure you’re being taken care of physically, mentally and emotionally, as well as, spiritually.”
So, Bracciale and her spell-casting sisterhood are spiritual folk. But, what type of spirituality are they channeling? Christians are supposed to follow the command of Jesus Christ to pray for their enemies (Matthew 5:44). And the Apostle Paul admonishes Christians to “Bless those who persecute you. Bless and do not curse” (Romans 12:14). However, these witches follow a different command. “Basically, it’s all about causing suffering,” Bracciale said. “And we intend to make Kavanaugh suffer.”
Bracciale and her witch cabal have been performing hexes on President Trump privately, she said, since spring of 2017. She claims their curses have been successful because Trump has been “exposed,” “humiliated,” and “invalidated.”
Taking the Kavanaugh curse session public is, apparently, a new move to send a message to Trump and America. “No, you don’t win. He may have been confirmed, but that’s something we already knew was going to happen,” Bracciale said. “We know the system is broken, and the people in charge need to be taken down by any means necessary, magical or otherwise.”
“Bring your rage” — SJWs (Social Justice Witches)
In their Facebook invitation for the anti-Kavanaugh ritual, the witches say: “Please join us for a public hex on Brett Kavanaugh, upon all rapists and the patriarchy at large which emboldens, rewards and protects them. We are embracing witchcraft’s true roots as the magik of the poor, the downtrodden and disenfranchised and it’s [sic] history as often the only weapon, the only means of exacting justice available to those of us who have been wronged by men just like him.”
“He will be the focal point,” the invitation reads, “but by no means the only target, so bring your rage and and all of the axes you’ve got to grind.”
These witches, as you see above, are into social justice for “the poor, the downtrodden and disenfranchised.” So, now the SJW label applies not only to Social Justice Warriors, but also Social Justice Witches. But if we were to ask the SJWs how many hospitals, clinics, orphanages, soup kitchens, food cabinets, disaster-relief programs, schools, or other charitable works they had established to aid the “the poor, the downtrodden and disenfranchised” (or how much they had ever contributed financially, or how much time they had volunteered at such programs and institutions), it is almost certain that they would have to admit they have done zilch. That is because the vast majority of real programs and institutions to help the needy — not only in the United States, but around the world — have been created and sustained by Christians, the very people the SJWs most despise.
On the other hand, the SJWs might point to their claim that half of whatever proceeds they raised from the Kavanaugh hex event would be split between America’s premier abortionists, Planned Parenthood, and the Ali Forney Center for LGBTQ youth. That’s right, the witches’ idea of charity is to help kill more babies. And they want to “help” those youth that survive the abortion holocaust by initiating them into LGBTQ disorientation and perversion.
Demons, Death, and Destruction
As far back as 1872, the demonic bent of the communist revolutionary spirit was recognized and brilliantly exposed in The Possessed (also sometimes translated as The Demons or The Devils), by the great Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky. In the novel, the devilish revolutionaries set fire to a village. As the villagers rush about attempting vainly to douse the roaring flames, a main character, Andrey Antonovitch von Lembke, cries, “The fire is in the minds of men and not in the roofs of houses.” And those fiendish fires are still raging in many Marx-besotted minds a century-and-a-half after Dostoevsky penned his lines.
Speaking of Marx, we should take a look at some of his little-known writings that have been studiously ignored and covered up for far too long. We have Robert Payne, the renowned British biographer/historian of the 20th century, to thank for bringing to light much of Marx’s hidden writings in his 1971 book The Unknown Karl Marx. Reverend Richard Wurmbrand, who was brutally tortured during his 14 years spent in communist prisons, added to Payne’s discoveries in his small paperback Was Karl Marx A Satanist?, and then, still more, in his expanded work Marx & Satan.
Payne, Wurmbrand, and other researchers have lifted a lid on the troubling, bubbling cauldron of demonic, revolutionary brew that many on the Left have been at pains to keep hidden.
Consider Marx’s poem The Player, in which he writes:
The hellish vapors rise and fill the brain,
Till I go mad and my heart is utterly changed.
See this sword? The prince of darkness sold it to me. —
For me beats the time and gives the signs.
Ever more boldly I play the dance of death. [Emphasis added.]
Then, there is Marx’s Invocation of One in Despair, in which we find:
So a god has snatched from me my all
In the curse and rack of destiny.
All his worlds are gone beyond recall!
Nothing but revenge is left to me!
I shall build my throne high overhead,
Cold, tremendous shall its summit be.
For its bulwark — superstitious dread.
For its Marshall — blackest agony.
The fevered brain of Marx, the poet/dramatist, also brought forth the dark drama Oulanem, from which we quote:
And they are also Oulanem, Oulanem.
The name rings forth like death, rings forth
Until it dies away in a wretched crawl.
Stop, I’ve got it now! It rises from my soul….
Yet I have power within my youthful arms
To clench and crush you [humanity] with tempestuous force,
While for us both the abyss yawns in darkness.
You will sink down and I shall follow laughing,
Whispering in your ears, “Descend, come with me, friend.”
If there is a Something which devours,
I’ll leap within it, though I bring the world to ruins —
The world which bulks between me and the abyss
I will smash to pieces with my enduring curses….
Yes, Marx, the “great humanitarian,” who cared so much for humanity and social justice — so much so that he wanted to devour the entire world and drag it with him to ruin and damnation in the abyss. And his acolytes — Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Ho Chi Minh, etc. — have, indeed, come close to doing so.
In another poem, The Pale Maiden, the co-author of The Communist Manifesto and author of Das Kapital further revealed his Satanic inclinations. Marx wrote:
Thus heaven I’ve forfeited, I know it full well.
My soul, once true to God, is chosen for hell.
This obsession with death, destruction, despair, ruin, curses, hellish vapors, the abyss, hell, the prince of darkness, etc., is not exactly the sign of a healthy mind. Yet, millions follow him religiously.
Russian anarchist Mikhail Bakunin, one of Marx’s comrades in the First International, called Satan “the eternal rebel, the first freethinker and the emancipator of worlds.”
We find numerous similar expressions of solidarity with Satan and enmity for God by leftist revolutionaries from the French Revolution to the present.
The Luciferian Trail
Of more recent vintage along these lines is some social-justice “wisdom” from the Chicago-based, Marxist, agitator-tactician-provocateur Saul Alinsky, who wrote this paean to Lucifer in the introductory page of his book Rules for Radicals:
Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.
The folks at Snopes, the Washington Post, and other bastions of “progressivism” scoff when critics point to this Alinsky reference and insist it is merely “a literary allusion,” nothing to be taken seriously. Ditto for Alinsky’s other devilish remarks. In an interview with Playboy shortly before his death in 1972, Alinsky “unreservedly” threw in his lot with Satan. He told the Hefner porn mag, “If there is an afterlife, and I have anything to say about it, I will unreservedly choose to go to hell.” “Once I get into hell,” Alinsky said, “I’ll start organizing the have-nots over there…. They’re my kind of people.”
Again, his supporters say, “Tsk, tsk, the man was just being provocative; he didn’t mean for his comments to be taken seriously.”
But Whittaker Chambers took this type of thing seriously. Chambers was a former top-level Communist Party operative and Soviet agent before converting to Christianity. In an essay titled The Devil, which was published in 1948 in LIFE magazine, Chambers wrote: “Baudelaire, that old flower of evil, was right: ‘The Devil’s cleverest wile is to make men believe that he does not exist.’”
Chambers found out that not only were most of our Fake News media doing their utmost to help the Devil hide his existence, but they were striving equally hard to convince the American public that the communist devils he was warning about in our government didn’t really exist either. Chambers was not alone. Many other former high-level communists also came forward — Bella Dodd, Hede Massing, Nathaniel Weyl, Elizabeth Bentley, Louis Budenz, to name but a few — but, like Chambers and Senator Joseph McCarthy, they were either smeared or ignored (or smeared then ignored) by the establishment media.
However, the Marx-Lucifer alliance is getting harder to camouflage, especially when it comes out of the closet in the forms of the “Antifa witches” and the Antifa street terrorists. Legions of Alinsky disciples (including Hillary Clinton and Chicago “community organizer” Barack Obama) have been carrying on the Alinsky-Lucifer legacy for decades, operating both inside and outside of government. Their lower-level minions have been rioting and burning cities for decades, and the current crop of Alinsky votaries are engaged in stirring Luciferian rage throughout the land, hoping to topple the Trump presidency and/or raise their level of violence to a degree that they can incite an outright civil war. source
Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God, For you have stumbled because of your iniquity. Hosea 14:1
I have been involved in Messianic Ministries for a good many years. God has laid it upon my heart to bring His Gospel to His Chosen People, the Jews. There are quite a few mission fields out there, each as important as the next. Some are called to reach MBB (Muslim Background Believers), others are sent off to the remotest parts of the globe. ALL are dutiful to the Command of Jesus to bring forth this Gospel to all the ends of the earth. (Matt 28:16-20).
One of the perks of my ministry is re-connecting to the Jewish Roots (not to be confused with Hebrew Roots Movement Heresy) of our Christian faith. After all we are grafted into the Olive Tree, read Romans 11:11-31. Every Biblical Holiday is a shadow of Christ to Come, as were fulfilled in the spring feast. The fall feast will be fulfilled when Jesus returns. Yesterday was Shabbat Shuvah (Sabbath of Return) which is a traditional Jewish Sabbath that falls between Yom Teruah (Rosh Hashanah) And Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement). Shuvah literally, Return!
Here is a Messianic Jewish Pastor covering the Subject:
Perhaps I’m partial to this as I am a flawed person and fall short more than I like. It is a reassurance of God’s grace to us. It’s a theme of repentance and God ALWAYS welcoming back the Prodigal son.
And rend your heart and not your garments.” Now return to the LORD your God, For He is gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness And relenting of evil. (Joel 2:13)
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. (James 4:8)
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)
If Almighty God will restore His people for all they had done. How much more will he restore us for what we have done. Because of His namesake He Keeps His word. It is in this that Our salvation assurance is secure. God can not fail, can not lie, and cannot deny Himself.
If you’re a believer and are living sinfully, repent and return to your Father today. Return to Him and He will welcome you into Loving arms.
If you’re not a believer or are unsure if your name is inscribed in the Lambs Book of life. Come to Him TODAY and RIGHT NOW! Do not wait and gamble with your eternity.
for He says, “AT THE ACCEPTABLE TIME I LISTENED TO YOU, AND ON THE DAY OF SALVATION I HELPED YOU.” Behold, now is “THE ACCEPTABLE TIME,” behold, now is “THE DAY OF SALVATION” (2 Corinthians 6:2)
