Since that I have had every version of Windows except one.

I have had computers since the early 80's as well. Two of the most fun games I have ever played required windows 3. Also pretty good at DOS, many here wont even know what that is. I still have a DOS 6.0 on disks. I liked windows 95 alot and windows 7 as well. I am a different person now, but back then, I was the go to guy for computers. LOL.

Joel 2:28 And it will happen afterward thus: I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your elders will dream dreams; your young men shall see visions.
2:29 And also on the male slaves and on the female slaves, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
2:30 And I will set wonders in the heavens, and on earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.
2:31 The sun will be changed to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of Yahweh.
2:32 And it will happen - everyone who calls on the name of Yahweh will be rescued, because on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as Yahweh said, and among the survivors whom Yahweh is calling.

Joel 3:1 For look! In those days, and in that time, when I will return the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
3:2 I will gather all the nations, and I will bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat, and I will argue a case against them there concerning my people and my inheritance Israel whom they have scattered among the nations,
and my land that they have divided.
3:9 Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for war! Stir up the mighty warriors; let them approach and come up; let all the men of war approach.
3:10 Beat your cutting tools of iron into swords and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weakling say, 'I am a mighty warrior!'
3:11 Hurry and come, all the nations, from all around, and gather yourselves there. Bring down your mighty warriors, O Yahweh!
3:12 Let the nations be roused and let them come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit to judge all the nations from all around.
3:14 Commotion, commotion in the valley of decision! For the day of Yahweh is near in the valley of decision!
3:15 The sun and the moon grow dark, and the stars have withheld their splendour.
3:16 And Yahweh roars from Zion; from Jerusalem he utters his voice, and the heavens and the earth shake. But Yahweh is a refuge for his people, and a protection for the children of Israel.
3:17 And you will know that I, Yahweh your God, am dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain. And Jerusalem will be a place of holiness, and strangers will pass through it no longer.
3:20 But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem for all generations.
3:21 I will cleanse their bloodguilt that I did not cleanse, for Yahweh is dwelling in Zion.

Ten dead in Israel, over 200 in the Gaza Strip.

What if the current round of violence has little end-time prophetic significance - just two sets of corrupt and weak leaders maintaining control over their own people by stoking fear and attacking the enemy on the other side?

I'm convinced that you get a better perspective on this situation not by examining issues of peace and justice, nor prophecy, nor history. Just look at the acquisition and control of power.

God says here in Acts, Peter and Hebrews

Act 2:14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
Act 2:15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
Act 2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
Act 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
Act 2:18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

Heb 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
Heb 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

1Pe 2:4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
1Pe 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
1Pe 2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
1Pe 2:7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

And as well, who is attacking who to begin with, and who offers more peace deals and who either refuses them or breaks them.

May I say this, this event is only a piece of what is happening throughout this "World". "true Christians" are crying out throughout this world. Pestilence, Starvations, Unrest, Animals, Fields, Fires, Volcanos, Drought, Winds, Storms. The Elderly throughout the world, are living longer but great is their poverty, Children are forsaking parents for the love of "Hedonism", by this, the Rich are "Capitalizing" off the age and the poor. The homeless, throughout the world is on a constant rise. And the rich is getting beyond rich and gluttonous, And these are the ones, who most claim are The Role Models, superfluous Christians, always they are giving GOD the praise, on "Social Media", News stations, Talk Show, women wearing "$2,000 Heels, 10 t0 20 thousand dresses. * 2- 8 Million Dollar cars, in their Garages. 70 Million Dollars, GulfStreams crossing the Airways to Take "The GOSPEL" According to "pastor" Givemore, to other Develop nations, in the name of Jesus as if "The Holy Spirit" can not "Fly". 4 -5 different Mansion. Switching Spouses, as If they were "New Easter Bonnets" to be "Paraded".

"In your easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it,
You'll be the grandest lady in the easter parade.
I'll be all in clover and when they look you over,
I'll be the proudest fellow in the easter parade.
On the avenue, fifth avenue, the photographers will snap us,
And you'll find that you're in the rotogravure.
Oh, I could write a sonnet about your easter bonnet,
And of the girl I'm taking to the easter parade."

For this is True:
Berean Study Bible(Isaiah 3:9)
"The expression on their faces testifies against them, and like Sodom they flaunt their sin; they do not conceal it. Woe to them, for they have brought disaster upon themselves." A lot of Christians: [They have no shame in "Parading their Sins"] and Then you have Others, That Cheer them on!

A Lot of christians Do Not Believe! And When A "Child of GOD" do speak "TRUTH", most christians gets "angry"! Their Blood, begins to Boil.

The World is Living in The Birthing Pains of Total Judgment! The "DAY of The LORD" is upon us, for It is even at The DOOR.

And many christians do not want it to be. But The "Sons of GOD" are commanded by Their Father to Pray for His Quick Return. For Most of This World is suffering greatly! And many christians are refusing to Listen to its Pain! But many claim they have the solution, Many will say; Jesus, But they do not want His Quick Return, How then, they say,: Jesus is the Solution, and They Pray not for His Quick Return.

The Solution is , "The Return of Jesus!" and He will Rule with a "Iron Scepter"! There will be only, "ONE" Will. You will obey. Be it life or death!

God's" Congregation" consists of "New Creatures "Created in Christ Jesus".

Psalm 83:1 A song. A psalm of Asaph. O God, do not rest silently. Do not keep silent or be still, O God.
83:2 For look, your enemies roar, and those who hate you have lifted their head.
83:3 They devise cunning schemes against your people, and consult together against your protected ones.
83:4 They say, "Come, let us annihilate them from being a nation, so that the name of Israel will be remembered no more."
83:5 For they have consulted together with a unified purpose. They have made a covenant against you:
83:6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,
83:7 Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the inhabitants of Tyre.
83:8 Assyria also has joined with them. They provide help to the children of Lot. Selah.

“I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins,
a haunt of jackals;
and I will lay waste the towns of Judah
so no one can live there.”

Quoting prophecies intended for people who two and a half thousand years ago as if they are directly applicable to current affairs does little to clarify thoughts and aid discussion.

"Biblical Motifs", "Type and Shadows", "Biblical IMAGERY" "Examples", That only The "True Sons of The Living GOD" may behold by The Unveiling of Jesus Christ, The Son of The Living GOD. AND He is The True WORD of GOD. FOR He is Through OUT "The Original Copied Manuscript" for in that, is Without ERROR. For Jesus is "The Old Testament" and much much more. Revealed in The New. If you don't know the New, it is "Impossible to "Comprehend" The OLD.

(Hebrews)NASV
For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the form of those things itself, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually every year, make those who approach perfect. Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had consciousness of sins? But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. For it is impossible for the blood of bullsand goats to take away sins. Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says,

“YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED SACRIFICE AND OFFERING,

BUT YOU HAVE PREPARED A BODY FOR ME;

YOU HAVE NOT TAKEN PLEASURE IN WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND OFFERINGS FOR SIN.

“THEN I SAID, ‘BEHOLD, I HAVE COME

(IT IS WRITTEN OF ME IN THE SCROLL OF THE BOOK)

TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD.’” After saying above, “SACRIFICES AND OFFERINGS AND WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND OFFERINGS FOR SIN YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, NOR HAVE YOU TAKEN PLEASURE IN THEM” (which are offered according to the Law), then He said, “BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second. By this will, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of JesusChrist once for all time.


When you read in 'Parts' you know only in 'Parts". When you think in "Parts" you Comprehend in "PARTS".

But Jesus, is in The Volume of The Book. The Story is about HIM! For he is ......"The Alpha & The Omega"

(1 Corinthians 13)BSB
"For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when the perfect comes, the partial passes away. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I set aside childish ways.…"

Jesus is the only one, who "Clarifies", no matter how a person may think He understands, for GOD has Close His Book to many and Reveal His Truth to some..

New American Standard Bible
And Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.”
Matthew 13:13
This is why I speak to them in parables: 'Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John 5:22
Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,
John 5:27
And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

Quoting prophecies intended for people who two and a half thousand years ago as if they are directly applicable to current affairs does little to clarify thoughts and aid discussion.

God loves doing things in twos - and many a prophecy concerning both Israel and Judah are not just about the OT event but also for what is to come in the last days - our time now.
People urge others to pray for peace, and to pray for Jerusalem and Judah; but that is in denial of scripture and prophecy.
The minor prophets have the most to say about the second coming of Christ Jesus - the day of the LORD - and the terrible tribulations and destruction of this world prior to that.
These same prophets have much to say about the Armageddon and the destruction of Jerusalem - it is pretty obvious that 70AD is going to happen again.
Why?
Because the Jews (Judah as distinct from Israel) are still in denial of Jesus (Yeshua) as their Messiah and they (and their rabbis) continue to blaspheme Jesus and write and speak vile accusations against Yahweh their GOD.
The ultraorthodox Jews and the settlers are hardly a light to the world, and because of them the God of Moses and the Law is blasphemed in the world.
Then there are the the ultra liberal cultural marxists Jews who have made Tel Aviv as Sodom and Gomorrah; they also embrace abortion and other liberal lifestyle politics.

God will bring the whole world upon Jerusalem for destruction again so that at the last minute when Jesus and the angels appear in glory he will save them and prove to them that He is the one whom they pierced.
He will restore Israel very much as the Jews of the Old Testament looked forward to - and Joseph and Judah will no longer be two nations - the gentiles and the Jews one nation - Ephesians 2:

Joel 3:21 And I have declared their blood innocent, That I did not declare innocent, And Yahweh is dwelling in Zion!
Matthew 27:25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

Ezekiel 37:
15 The word of the Lord came to me: 16 “Son of man, take a stick and write on it, ‘For Judah, and the children of Israel associated with him’; then take another stick and write upon it, ‘For Joseph (the stick of E′phraim)
and all the house of Israel associated with him’;
17 and join them together into one stick, that they may become one in your hand. 18 And when your people say to you, ‘Will you not show us what you mean by these?’
19 say to them, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am about to take the stick of Joseph (which is in the hand of E′phraim) and the tribes of Israel associated with him; and I will join with it the stick of Judah, and make them one stick,
that they may be one in my hand.
20 When the sticks on which you write are in your hand before their eyes, 21 then say to them, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take the people of Israel from the nations among which they have gone, and will gather them
from all sides, and bring them to their own land; 22 and I will make them one nation in the land, upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; and they shall be no longer two nations, and no longer divided
into two kingdoms.
23 They shall not defile themselves any more with their idols and their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions; but I will save them from all the backslidings in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them;
and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

24 “My servant David shall be king over them; and they shall all have one shepherd. They shall follow my ordinances and be careful to observe my statutes.
25 They shall dwell in the land where your fathers dwelt that I gave to my servant Jacob; they and their children and their children’s children shall dwell there for ever; and David my servant shall be their prince for ever.
26 I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will bless them and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
27 My dwelling place shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
28 Then the nations will know that I the Lord sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary is in the midst of them for evermore.”

OK. I'm not at all confident that there's anything to link what the Old Testament prophets said to Jerusalem and Judea in their day with what we see happening today. And I'm sure that applying ancient prophecies to the current situation clouds an incredibly complex problem even further.

Actually -- that's what makes prophesies in the Old Testament so neat -- they Are directly related to what's happening Now. For instance, the birth of Jesus Christ was predicted / prophesied in Isaiah and it took place in the New Testament.

Isaiah 17:1 An oracle concerning Damascus. Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city and will become a heap of ruins.
Here is OT prophecy that has never been fulfilled to date.
Read Isaiah carefully for it is about Armageddon and the day of the Lord

Isaiah 17:13 The nations roar like the roaring of many waters, but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far away, chased like chaff on the mountains before the wind and whirling dust before the storm.
