The prophet had no knowledge as to how much time would pass before the significance of these prophecies came into play. In our time the entire Middle East has taken front stage in world news and events with these regions of earlier prophecy playing significant roles. These nations are the ones which have led the drive to end the reinstatement of the nation of Israel to their land and have laid claim to the land which Jehovah promised to the prophesied restored kingdom of Israel.
Obviously, where else would such prophesies be at other than the Middle East when that was all of the earth that they even knew about. Taken front Stage? There has been constant fighting in that area for at least 6000 years or as long as civilization has been in the area.

Re: Armageddon is not innevitable unless we desire it to be!
we certainly will bring Armageddon upon ourselves because eventually God WILl say enough is enough and he will be forced to act before we blow ourselves to smithereens.
So God will destroy mankind to prevent man from destroying mankind?
Boy that makes a lot of sense, nonsense that is.

Re: Armageddon is not innevitable unless we desire it to be!
as a person yourself who chose to fight a war, you no doubt did so because you believed it was the only way to accomplish some sort of peace?
Most military people don't fight wars because they want to, but because they are ordered to a war zone. The military is not a democracy. Soldiers can't pick & choose whether they want to fight or not. I fought in Vietnam, not because I agreed with the war, but as a US citizen, I was obligated to fight.

Re: Armageddon is not innevitable unless we desire it to be!
I wonder how the religious folks act in such military circumstances. Maybe you have some memories - how does it feel for a theist to hmmm, how do i say this, send someone(a Vietnamese) to heaven by a gunshot, whereby breaking the will of God and the 10 commandmants? You may choose not to answer and sorry if this brings back nasty memories.
I never encountered anyone who even thought of sending someone to heaven or breaking the the will of God. The word was survival. If I was being shot at my thinking was to survive which meant shoot back. The moral aspect never enters.
