I've been trying to determine the chronological order of the Bibles end time war prophecies but haven't figured it out yet.
Roughly, here's what I think could happen...
I think Israel and Lebanon will be at war before Turkey and Israel clash.
Once Israel and Lebanon start then Israel will hit Syria for assisting Hezbollah. Damascus... Isa 17:1 The burden of Damascus . Behold, Damascus is
taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. KJV
Turkey will forget the flotilla and join Lebanon and Syria in all out war against Israel.
Israel will then hit Iran using the excuse that Iran supplied arms to Syria, Hezbollah and Gaza. They will take advantage of the situation and strike
Iran's uranium enrichment facilities.
The US will "support" Israel against Iran but Israel will go it alone against Turkey, Lebanon, Syria and Gaza.
N. Korea will probably do some random war maneuvers just to keep tensions high enough to keep the US there and spread thin.
Russia will move south (with UN) under the guise of peace keepers and to defend Iran.
The Rapture will happen.
The 7 year tribulation begins.
During the tribulation, 1/3 of the oceans will be destroyed...
6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was
burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became
blood;
9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and
upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood : and the third part of the waters became wormwood ; and many men died of the waters, because they were
made bitter.
12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the
third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. Rev 8:6-12 KJV
In my opinion, I think the "great mountain burning" is actually a meteor. It fits with 1/3 of the ships being destroyed. I think the seas being
turned to blood will be similar to the plague in Egypt...
20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh,
and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
21 And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood
throughout all the land of Egypt. Ex 7:20-21 KJV
