My Revelation Commentary suggests that there are 10 years from the Rapture of the Church, and the opening of the first seal, until the physical 2nd coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (not just 7 years). That ten years may or may not actually turn out to be the case. Even so, in Judaism, there are 10 days of awe where Jews are to repent so that their sins are covered before they appear before God. I believe these 10 days of awe may also represent 10 years to get the nation of Israel that have returned, but are still in unbelief, time to repent before the appearing of her Messiah.

I do not think it was just a coincidence that the war we are now seeing in Israel started exactly 50 years after the 1973 Yom Kipper war. The attack by Hamas on Israel happened on the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles. Seeing these things, I think I may now be able to give a conjecture on how this will play out. It would be wise to keep in mind that I do not have to be correct.

I am suggesting that this attack on Israel may have started the 10 years of awe, which would end in 2033 with the second coming of Jesus on the Feast of Tabernacles.

The attack on Israel would not have happened unless Iran gave Hamas their blessing. While Israel is fighting in Gaza, Iran very well could also unleash their proxies in Lebanon and Syria. Hezbollah has about 200,000 missiles supplied by Iran to use against Israel. Israel then would be given no choice, they will have to invade Lebanon and Syria. Among other things, this could fulfill the destruction of Damascus prophecy found in Isaiah 17.

Iran is behind all this, so Israel may believe it necessary to bomb Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities. The prophecy about Elam (Jer 49) might be fulfilled when Iran’s nuclear power plant melts down, and because of the radiation, all the people in western Iran have to be evacuated to all nations in the world.

After Israel wins this regional war with help from western allies, she will be able to feel secure. Then, with Iran no longer a threat to them, the Saudis will go forward with the Abraham Accords that are now halted because of the war. This is probably the peace deal that will be confirmed by the person who becomes Israel’s false Messiah. The final seven years would then start in 2026 AD with his confirmation of the peace covenant.

At that time, the two prophets will appear and preach for 1260 days and the temple will be rebuilt. After that, the false messiah enters the temple and claims to be above anything called God. This will start the 42 months of great tribulation called the time of Jacob’s trouble. The reign of the Antichrist would be ended by the second coming of Jesus Christ in 2033.

It does not have to happen as I suggest or on the timeline I suggest. Even so, I find the situation in Israel today very interesting. We might watch and see if this now evolves into a much larger war.

I have been suggesting for a long time that the second coming will be around 2033AD, and since this attack happening on the Feast of Tabernacles 2023 it fits very well. Jesus probably returns ten years from now on the Feast of Tabernacles of 2033. Look up, because the rapture would then occur any time between now and 2026.
