Prophesying Doom - Specifying Israel's Part is the Point - It's All For Reaching Them

Seriously, if you are going to 'ascribe' certain comments, you should remember that I have never said Russia is 'god' when you are saying this: [but I know what you are talking about when you glibly ascribe Russia to be "God",]!

On the other hand, while I do use the term 'harpazo' (Greek) to describe the term others call the "rapture" (from the Latin, not the Greek), there is enough alliterative references within the Scriptures to give me all the confidence that it is a prospect that has the WORD of the LORD behind its reality.
Now, 'hard-core' evangelism should not be talk that is focused solely or specifically on end-times events; but obeying the words of Yeshua in His Gospel is ordained as the primary service and goal of true evangelism. The issues of the apocalypse are directed towards the unbelief that is coming and true believers are set apart from the wrath to come.

BTW: to digress :Ez 39:1) "And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. 2) And I will turn you about and drive you forward, and bring you up from the uttermost parts of the north, and lead you against the mountains of Israel.
