Emile, "Yes, prophetically Israel needed to be back in the land before the 70th week could start. But, and here is one of the few IMO Puddinhead will give, the recapture of the promise land was the second to last event that needed to happen or be in place to trip the 70th week covenant with death that Antichrist will make with Israel." How do you know this? Did God reveal it to you? ***The Bible tells me. First, Jews (and I don't know where in the Bible it says they can't be black, oriental, or European, etc.) will return to the land that their forefathers possessed (Deut. 30:5). but they will return still in unbelief, they will not recognize God's sovereign provision of that blessing, but consider it to be of their own achievement. Second, the nation will be restored to faith (v.6) and than finally their enemies will be destroyed (v.7). And (v.8) and God's specially chosen nation will forever obey and serve her Savoir and Lord when Christ returns. We talk about unbelieving, just yesterday the mark of Israel 50th anniversary of statehood there President Netanyahu said that "it is a miracle and was not sure if Israel would make it as a nation this far". He may have not know, unbelieving, but God did and does, that is the problem they face. Israel IS BACK in the land AND WILL BIBLICALLY NEVER BE REMOVED. If they continue to have unbelieving people like Netanyahu in charge do you think that Antichrist will have trouble making his covenant, I don't. Yes, I agree that we can be in a prolong period of deception, that is why the covenant with Israel could be made in our lifetime, I sure hope and pray that it does. Yes, only God's elect the 144,000 that do into the desert and mountains that God "seals" will survive. The fact that they are so close to Antichrist but yet still untouchable because of God's protection. Your right when you said there will be great deception, how else will the covenant of death be made
