Don,
Welcome back, I have been studying you website for over ten years along with Lambert Dolphin, Terry James. With the passing of Jack Kinsella and now Jack Kelly. I have been concerned about there being someone to fill the gap. It appears God has answered my payers for this and for you. Sorry, it took ten years to make a post. I thank you and look forward to meeting you on the other side. Thank You!

This is exactly the type of article I have been waiting a year to read again! You have a gift for seeing the big picture in all its detail and distilling it down to some meaningful and memorable sentences. Furthermore, the Muslim droves pouring into Europe . . . something is going to boil over, just like you have said for a long time; it seems like you felt it coming a good while back.

Don,
Glad to see you are back. There have been several times in the last year I have wondered what your thoughts would be. This article answers most of that. Will enjoy reading, and the regular commentors I remember from the old blog.

Hi Donni,

Nothing that I ever say about the timing of these wars should be set in concrete. There simply are too many possibilities to be dogmatic.

I don’t believe I ever said the Gog invasion will take place in 2022. I guess it could, but I think that is still a bit soon. I also am not sure that this war will occur before the tribulation. Opposing issues can be raised for any of the theories about when this war will occur. I tend to think it occurs before the tribulation but who really knows for sure?

The fact that even the best students of Bible prophecy disagree on the timing of the Gog invasion should be a clue that the Bible does not give us enough information to be dogmatic about the timing. The same can be said about the timing of the fulfillment of Psalm 83. The Psalm 83 war does not have to occur before the Gog invasion but that view is rational.

Yes, I think the stage is being set for both the fulfillment of Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38 and 39 but the set on the stage keeps changing. The stage setting we see today is not the final stage configuration. I do not see where Iran is mentioned in Psalm 83. Psalm 83 mentions Arab nations and Iran is not Arab. If Psalm 83 is next, Iran needs to be removed from the picture somehow until the time of the Gog invasion.

I also have no idea when the Rapture happens in all this. I believe it does occur before the last seven years. It could occur any number of years sooner. I do say I think it could be 10 1/2 years because seven years after the Rapture when many in the world might be thinking that some type of Christ is due to appear they could receive the Antichrist.

Don- You have a brilliant mind and I appreciate that you are willing to share it with us. I have
read many of your articles including the ones on the upcoming wars. Please correct me if I am wrong about your theory: The Ezekiel wars will probably happen in 2022 and 3 1/2 years later
will start tribulation. The Psalms war will start before the Ezekiel wars setting up peace and
security. I am a little confused as when you think the Psalms war will start and does this
war in Syria a setting up stage for the Psalms war? Know one can be sure about the Rapture but I think I read where your theory is the Psalms war will happen before the Rapture but the
Ezekiel war will be after. Like I said please correct my thought process. Thanks again for
all your information.

In reply to Kevin.

Hi Kevin,

Welcome. The way things are going here I hope you will save me a place down there. I am sure it is going to get even more nuts than it already is in the States.

I would not say that 90 percent of Christians would take the mark of the Beast though. Those that would are not Christians at all but maybe as much as 90 percent of people that identify with Christianity in the West will take the Mark.

Greetings,Don! I’m new to your site – just kind of “stumbled” upon it. Although, I think it was the Lord’s doing. Originally from Canada, I live in a beach town on Costa Rica’s beautiful Pacific coast. There are many ex-pats here from N.America and Europe. Big mission field! I wanted to write to say how much I appreciate this site. You have helped me to get “up to speed” on various issues impacting evangelical Christians in the world today. I share your Classic Dispensationalism but I’ve been challenged (locally here) by those in the Reformed/Replacement theology camp – both English and Spanish speakers. I realized that I needed to check my own theology to be sure it was Biblically sound – a good think, right?! So I started searching Dispensational websites to check what I really believed and why. This is how I came about encountering your site. After lots of Reading (and prayer) I have been fortified in my Dispensational convictions! I really can’t see how some Christians can think that God has replaced His covenant people (Israel) with the Church. I try to point out to these Reformed people that God still loves His ancient People (as should every born-again Christian)and that He isn’t thru with them yet!
For many years I’ve been a reader of the Berean Call and I can see that God has given you (along with the B.C.) the courage to stand for His truth. There’s a country-góspel song with a line like “…preacher, tell me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear…” Thanks again, Don and God bless! Kevin
