This is more complex than you may think but it's been wars and rumours of wars my entire life and even before. I remember watching the TV guy talk about the Cuban missle crisis and the vietnam war when I was a kid.
And I agree with you that the war is a spiritual war but it is also political because man always has to put his 2 cents in and he always knows just the best way to oppress his neighbors.
"I agree
but but but its also political or physical" Huh? Based on what Scripture?
So we are in war & rumours of wars right now and there has been two world wars. There's no world war at this moment but it sounds close if you ask me.
Sigh, you are looking for the wrong kind of war, sir!
The prophecy on the street is that Miami will be nuked. The US is in a war right now in Ukraine. That war is not Russians vs Ukraine, the US is all over that war and Putin knows he's fighting the US. That makes us prime targets to be attacked by Russia (or Russia & China). Then we would have to split our military resources more to home than Ukraine and it might make it easier for Putin in Ukraine after that.
Sounds like you are a fan of the newspaper eschatology.
Putin is getting his butt whipped in Ukraine and if he attacks the US to bring himself relief in Ukraine he could decide to just take a stroll across Europe?
Okay... and this still has nothing to do with war and rumors of war in Matthew 24. Wrong war, wrong place.
You need to look at the CONTEXT:
Mat 24:4-7
(4) And Jesus answered and said unto them,
Take heed that no man deceive you.
(5) For
many shall come in my name, saying,
I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
(6) And
ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
(7) For
nation shall rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Mat 24:11
(11) And
many false prophets shall rise and shall
deceive many.
In my earlier posts, I mentioned that the
wars and rumors of wars are related to the rise of false prophets and christs who come in Christ's name and deceive many people. The war in Ukraine and Israel has NOTHING to do with false prophets and christs. You are looking in the wrong place. The rise of false prophets and christs can only be found in God's congregation all over the world,
where spiritual wars take place. The church always had spiritual war here and there since Pentecost but during the time of Great tribulation, this SAME WAR shall increase in amount as more and more false prophets and christs showing up all over! Nothing to do with political nations!
Selah!
Gee-whiz.
The Lord told me to stop watching the news.
Sounds like what I have been telling you guys all along!
He said there is so much going on behind the scenes that what we even hear on the news is mere rabbit trails and if I have a need to know something then He will tell me about it. Fair enough!
The Lord will tell you about what's going on "behind the scenes"
