“The Bible is clear that the United States of Europe—the revived Roman Empire that will be headed by the antichrist—will be the political and economic superpower in the end times (see Daniel 2; 7). This being the case, many prophecy scholars believe the United States will progressively weaken by the time the tribulation period begins. I personally believe this is a strong possibility. And there are a number of scenarios that might explain how it could happen.” (source)

“6. Remember that one passage may apply to more than one event.” (source)

“The rapture of the church is a mystery because it had never been revealed in Old Testament times. It was revealed for the first time in the New Testament.” (source)

“My assessment is that Israel is already in a state of relative security and that the invasion will likely take place sometime after the rapture but before the beginning of the tribulation period. Prophecy scholar Thomas Ice agrees and suggests that the invasion ‘will be during the interval of days, weeks, months, or years between the rapture and the start of the seven-year tribulation.’³ Here are five arguments that support this view.” (source)

“If this passage tells us anything, it is that when a nation continues to willfully reject God and His Word, turning its back on His moral requirements, God eventually reveals His wrath against that nation. God has a long track record of wrath against ungodly nations. This passage reveals that one way God reveals His wrath is by allowing the people of that nation to experience the full brunt of the ravaging consequences of their sin.” (source)
