I think that Israel know that this will start the Ezekiel war. and it looks like it might.
I think we have several factors all playing a role:
A big question is how much longer?
1.
The Tabernacle of David. The war in Israel was said to have begun because Hamas didn't want Israel to set up the tabernacle of David and begin the sacrifices again.
2.
Proxy war is not working. This war we are currently witnessing is a proxy war which is described in Psalm 83. Somehow we go from a proxy war to an all out war in Ezekiel 38 with Russia, Iran, and Turkey. If I had to guess the destruction of Damascus will be where we go from a Proxy war to an all out war. Everyday we can see Hamas in Gaza and Hezebollah in Lebanon being shut down, requiring Iran to use their base in Damascus as the launch pad.
3.
BRICS needs to replace the US dollar as the reserve currency. They go into effect January 1.
4.
Pro Palestinian mobs could be provoked to being as violent as what we saw in the days of Lot. Jesus said it would be as the days of Lot and in that scenario we expect to see vicious mobs foaming at the mouth. If Damascus were destroyed that could be the event that turns these mobs into frenzied violence like we saw in the days of Lot.
5.
US Election. It is obvious that Trump will win the election. I think there are powerful forces that would rather have the Ezekiel 38 war than to have Trump as President.
6.
US Debt. If the countries in BRICS were to dump their US bonds when BRICS goes live in January it could cause a collapse of the US banking system and economy. I think this war is really about who will be the reserve currency and that means who will provide security for the Middle East.
7.
Covid Vaccine. The evidence is being released that the US lied and the vaccine is killing people. The pandemic was made in a bioweapons lab that was funded by the US and the vaccine is causing millions of deaths. These two things together are a very good reason why the world would hate the US. When you hate the US it is much easier to attack and destroy them.
With this as the background I look at cyber attacks on our banks and water supply, terrorist attacks, border being infiltrated, and threats from Russia, Iran and N. Korea not as bluster but as a crystal clear warning of what is coming and coming soon.
I don't set dates but I definitely expect the Psalm 83 war to continue to escalate into the Ezekiel 38 war prior to the 2024 election in the US. (Days, weeks or months, but not a year).
