If Damascus falls Israel and gas fields at risk

With Israel back in (part of) her land, this is the beginning of the end. 

Joel 3:

“In those days and at that time,

    when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem [began May 14, 1948],
² I will gather all nations
    and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. 
There I will put them on trial 
    for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel,
because they scattered my people among the nations
    and divided up my land.

This is the End. Why?

The majority misunderstand Daniel's "time, times, and half a time"

Daniel 12:
9 He replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.

Click this link to learn what a "time" is. If a time is a thousand years:

2-1/2 "times" = 2500 years. And 2500 - 533 = 1967! The restoration of the Jews to, and end of the Gentile control of, the holy city, Jerusalem.The end of the "shattering the strength of the holy people". Daniel wrote chapter 12, verse 7 in 533BC (the 3rd year of Cyrus) - 2,500 years after that came one of the biggest, if not the biggest, events in Israel's history!

Is this a one trick pony? No! In another of Daniel's dreams we find:

2. Daniel 7:1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, [and] told the sum of the matters.

You can Yahoo confirmation for the first year of Belshazzar to be 552 BC

Later in this dream we read:

Daniel 7:25 And he will speak words against the Most High, and he will oppress the high holy ones, and he will think to change the times and the law, and they will be delivered into his hand until a time, two times, and half a time.

2500 - 552 = 1948 The restoration of the Jews to the holy land, declaring an independent Israel. End of the Jews being oppressed by he who speaks "words against the Most High", and being scattered among the "wilderness" of the nations.

For this to be a pair of parallel accidents, that each span 2500 years, would be a stastical absurdity. Blessedly there are many more problems that reinforce them. For open eyes these problems aptly demonstrate that it wasn't until after the dates of 1948 and 1967 had come to pass, and we entered this - Daniel's - "time of the end", that we could understand the solutions to these simple problems both mathematically and textually.What a perfect seal God had Daniel put on this book!

These "times" problems are covered in more depth at this link.
