#1 An old preacher once told his congregation a few decades ago that when Jerusalem becomes all Israeli, set your watch to the last chapters of The Book of Revelations.

#2 We are stuck in REV 14 and meddling in REV 19 and others. It is okay to have a FRAGO or more.

#3 There once was a period in History when Revelations chapters concerning the return of the Jews to their Land of Israel was an un-fulfilled dream. A figment without a Sykes-Picot to its name.

There once was a time when a whole lot of people laughed at the Book of Revelations as a mythical BS joke. Not a chance, right? 1898 and hogwash?

Its a grim book. Seems to have an Atomic war in it somewhere. But, then again, I could be wrong.

Something about the rebuilding of the Jewish temple ? Something about "the Two Witnesses", whatever that's all about. Another name for the Book is "the Apocalypse "
Stuff that bringing an umbrella along won't fix.

#4 Setting the Bible aside for a moment, let's just hope Bibi doesn't over play his hand. Trump has given him more than an inch, I pray he uses it well.

#5 Nobody is rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem. We replaced animal sacrifice with prayer during the Babylonian Exile aftr the fall of the first Temple in 587 BCE. Yes, some Jews partook of the sacrifices after the Second Temple was built in 516 BCE (and then rebuilt on a glorious scale by King Herod centuries later), but most Jews never returned to the land of Israel, just as the majority of the world’s Jews do not live in Israel now.
