A significant escalation of Israel's military operations within Gaza city makes the news.

The two big question we should be asking is when will the Gaza war come to an end and when it does will the rapture happen. Two scriptures give way to our understanding.

The part mostly missed is that this war in Gaza is more about the hostages, if there were no hostages this war would have been over a long time ago. Yes, it is understood that Hamas must be demilitarized and eliminated and to be made void of the Gaza Strip and be removed of it’s power altogether but again what has kept this war going? It’s the Jews that are being held captive, the hostages, in Gaza City.

Right now, at this time the most relevant, revealing part of Scripture is seen right here in Psalm 83.

Psalm 83:3

3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people and consulted against thy hidden ones.

KJV

Through the understanding of all of Psalm 83 we see an action of God that is to take place, and this at a given time when there are the “hidden ones “, now equate the hidden ones to the hostages and it should be very revealing.

A second end-time scripture should also give way to an understanding of when this action of God, seen in Psalm 83, would take place. This is Paul talking about the rapture.

1 Thessalonians 5:3

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

KJV

Here the Sudden Destruction should be seen in Psalms 83, as the action of God, and the child should be seen as the Jews and those surrounding it in Israel.

It's when they say Peace and Safety, then the Sudden Destruction which equates to Psalms 83 and reveals to us that it's about the hostages, this should begin to make sense of, when it will happen.

The big question would be, when the Gaza war comes to an end will Israel be claiming, Peace and Safety, if so, then the Sudden Destruction, rapture.

Scripture of end-times leads us to understand that it's the end of the Gaza war is that we should be watching for.

Eschatology at work.
