1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

The seven year period known as "the tribulation" or "the seventieth week" or "the Day of the Lord" refers to the Lord's judgment on the Earth. According to Peter this judgment must begin with the house of God. Hence, I view the rapture as that judgment. On the one hand some will be judged as good and faithful servants and others will be cast out with the judgment "I never knew you" or "foolish virgins" or "Lazy servant".

Operation Midnight Hammer

Jeremiah 50:23 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!

“Operation Midnight Hammer” is the name of the operation that “broke Elam’s bow”, the operation that demolished Iran’s nuclear capability. Repeatedly President Trump, Secretary of Defense Hegseth and the Chairman of the Joint chiefs of staff declared that there is no other military on earth that could do what the US did. They have proclaimed that it was “the hammer of the whole earth” that destroyed Elam’s bow in Jeremiah 49. Well, next up on Jeremiah’s list of prophetic occurrences is the destruction of Babylon, the “hammer of the whole earth”, that is the USA. It should be obvious to all that you can’t control the Middle East as long as Israel stands, and you can’t defeat Israel as long as the USA stands.
