Reader comment on item: Is Radical Islam in Decline?
in response to reader comment: Picking Up the Pieces in a Darkened World as Israel Picks up the Torch
Submitted by Michael S (United States), Oct 2, 2016 at 22:08
Hi, Tovey.
Are we on the same page? Ezekiel 38-39 is not the same as Zechariah 14; it comes beforehand -- by ten years or so, by my reckoning; and of course, it is not led by the US. Zech. 14 is the FINAL battle, an attack on Israel by ALL nations; and it will almost certainly be led by the Pres. of the US. Ezekiel could happen soon, perhaps 2017 -- it all depends on how soon Turkey will ally itself with Iran for such an attack. The beast of Revelation will lead the UN in the second battle, probably in 2027. He will probably be elected in 2020.
