Hi Endtime,
Interesting stuff! What do you think of the Psalm 83 and this prophecy? Where do you see this with regards to "The False Prophet"?

I think this prophesy about the fig tree in Matthew 24:32 tells us that Christ is coming soon. Not exactly one generation (or 40 years) after 1967, but just like the bride groom in Matthew 25:5, Christ's second coming is being slightly delayed. The lesson is to stay alert and not fall asleep in this time we're in right now. Ellis Skolfield thinks that Israel control over all of Jerusalem is a sign that Christ's second coming is "one generation away". A biblical generation is usually 40 years, and sometimes as long as 70 years. Either way, relatively speaking, this age doesn't have long. I agree with Skolfield that this world is soon over.

Psalm 83? I don't want to pretend that I have any additional insight as to where this fits in. Is it talking about another perspective of the Gog & Magog war in Ezekiel 38? I don't know. I don't really believe in having a pat answer on the order of future events and future wars, or one more future war (Acts 1:6-7). I'm thinking that the next war between Israel and Ishmael could be the battle of Gog & Magog - the Last War. It's obvious to me that present day Iran, Syria, Lebanon, "Palestine", and all who refuse to recognize Jesus as the Son of God are soon going to meet eternal death - very possibly within the next couple decades +/-.

More information on the nations mentioned in Psalm 83 can be found here. I don't agree with the eschatology of Jack Kelly, but this information is good.
