The start of Armaggedon means, among other things, I believe the separating work by Jesus is over and everyone has judged and/or marked themselves for life; or for death. (Mat 25:31-34 & 41) In other words; by now we have either faith in what Christ taught, or we don't, but we "have" heard. Our decision about faith has judged eternally we are who we are! (Acts 17:29-31; John 3:19 of 16-21) I believe, then, my days of needing to make excuses for my self-righteous religious neighbors are over and past. [God's judgment is falling on all those who imagine they are saved by their segregating religious membership approval, as they actually hate and judge others while hiding truth (Rom 1:18-20) by spreading the lies of their doctrines in Jesus and/or יהוה's names. (Mark 7:7-13 of 5-16; Mat 15:8-9)] No reason to try and excuse the many who assert my Lord Jesus is a good man or even a prophet, but not God's promised Messiah; {that is, those refusing to recognize and worship Jesus (Mat 14:33 of 28-33) as God's son and enthroned King; mankind's deliverance by Christ first promised in Gen 3:15. (Gen 22:18 of 15-18; Isa 9:6-7; Luke 1:30-33; Mark 11:9-10; Mark 4:10-12; Mark 9:1-8)} All of those people, along with those individuals who proclaim they don't believe God exists at all; (Psa 14:1; Deu 32:4-6) it does seem their judgment of themselves is over and done. (John 3:18-19 of 16-21) That leaves no reason I can see for me to try and imagine hope for them any longer. The start of Armageddon also means they are not confused as I had hoped... They are just who they have decided to be! And, Armageddon's start also means I am safe! My fretting is over. [That all brings me great relief! I don't have to think about who is bad, as that judgment has been rendered by my righteous Father. If some "are" yet being awakened from confusion and into life, good! My simple hope is this: I want everyone God says should live to live, and everyone He says should die to die. No exceptions; myself included. Only God knows hearts; (Acts 9:1-22) and Jesus of course... (2 Cor 5:10; Mat 16:27; Mat 13:47-50 of 44-50)]
My belief, then, is Armageddon has started, meaning everyone has judged and identified themselves to be what they are; by the faith they have built, or refused to build, in Christ as God's chosen King of Creation. (John 3:19-21) All that is left for us is to keep living, in and by our own personal faith in the words of Christ, or die. (John 11:26)
Freely accepting Zionism, please know for sure, must include understanding Zion is God's Kingdom by Jesus Christ, and that submitting to Zionism preserves your very life; because Armageddon is God's war destroying all who are not true Zionists; what ever they may "claim" to, or even imagine, they support in or by "their" faith. (Jer 3:13) The only thing that matters is whether "our faith" is knowing Jesus Christ personally [whether he considers us his intimate friends (John 15:11-15)] through our own personal study and knowledge of his words; gleaned by having actually listened to him [by having read his words over and over to familiarity]! (Mark 9:7; Read: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.) Being Jesus's friend does or did require some effort on your part! (Luke 13:23-28)
Armageddon likely means the righteous are righteous while the wicked are past being able to turn back from their bad way... (Eze 39:1-13) [The wicked may hear these words and turn back for a day or two, like Mr. Trump and many other politicians did after Trump was shot. (Many politicians, including Trump himself, were for a few days after that attack talking about our need to turn down the hate speech. That had previously been completely uncharacteristic for Mr. Trump. [Its a few months after now (Mar 31, 2025) and Donald seems to have completely forgotten. יהוה hasn't forgotten Trump said God spared him for good work! It's interesting and even plesing to watch what the world considers powerful men play out their parts in God's drama. (1 Cor 4:9)]) Those among them who were briefly moved to repentance but "actually are" wicked, however, [did or] will quickly return to their bad ways; because their previous life choices have been made with conviction, and now, that past defines and compels them to do harm... (Psa 9:15-18; Psa 37:37-40; James 3:13-15; Gen 6:5) Maybe President Trump really meant it when he said God miraculously spared him. If so, he will turn to doing good!] (Rom 1:28 & 32 of 28-32; Tit 1:16 of 10-16) Their choice to reject instruction from Christ is why the wicked are judged, well, wicked. (John 3:17-19) And, יהוה says their faith, or actually their chosen lack of faith, makes the responsibility for their death their own! (Deu 24:16; Eze 18:20; James 1:12-15; Deu 32:5 of 3-6; Rom 1:18-32; Heb 10:38 of 35-39) In prior days, repentance meant your very life; but, it now seems past being an option. (Jer 15:6-7)
That is to say: Why are the wicked not destroyed and we who love Christ already in the paradise יהוה intended when He planted Adam and Eve in the Garden? (Gen 1:26-28; Mat 25:34; Isa 11:1-13)
I actually 
Like Peter, maybe there is still time to learn from Christ how to make better use of God's Spirit to preserve ourselves alive in the midst of the destruction of all that is bad! (Mat 14:23-34; Heb 3:12-19; Heb 10:35-39) To have my part of [to have my deliverance through] God's Final Solution, I think it requires I "truly believe." I want to believe. I hope and even think I believe. But, "whether we truly believe" seems what we are all learning about ourselves... Do we have true faith to walk with Jesus above the danger and into everlasting life? Or, are we yet like Peter during his walk with Jesus? If Armageddon has started and we have all been judged, our faith to support us must be our own. That would seem to mean even Jesus will no longer help us if we don't have faith... Our lack of faith shows or is our judgment of ourselves! (John 3:19 of 16-21) Our chosen faith has made a division of us (Mat 25:31-34) and only death awaits those without faith in God's reigning King. (Jer 25:32-33; Mal 3:16-4:3) Peace and exquisite delight will survive the destruction. (Psa 37:10-11; Psa 37:3-4 of 3-11; Isa 55:1-4; Isa 66:10-18) If your faith is in what is true, it is good as done! (Mark 11:24; Isa 46:8-11; Isa 55:6-11)

Since I didn't see the immediate destruction of the wicked I 
All the world knows "The Donald" is alive only because his shooter was enthralled with Lee Harvey Oswald's long range head shot on a president. If Trump's shooter had had common sense to target center mass, Mr. Trump would likely be a memory. God is thus showing everyone what is happening to the wicked and that no one is safe or can hide. Not saying Mr. Trump is wicked! Many of us are still trying to believe that ain't so. He did tell us, don't you remember, "he" was miraculously spared by God... Maybe he was spared for some good work; as he asserts! The eye on Armageddon will soon show us all? It did thrill me to see both Putin and Trump call God into their lives. Trump in saying his surviving his nearly fatal assassination attempt was a miracle from God, and Putin by his circulating pictures of him in the churches seeking God's
blessings on his activities. Those actions by the both of them pleased me very very much, because, you must realize; their asserting God's blessings on themselves caused יהוה to take special note of them; and, makes them responsible before him... I must confess to noticing, in Putin's case at least, it seems things have been going steadily downhill for him since he started circulating his church photos and asserting god's blessing. He has slaughtered many of his nation's sons in his mad war. That doesn't really seem like God's blessing... Recent news suggests Putin believes Trump's election is his salvation. If God has started to hold Putin accountable for his actions, (Est 6:13) Mr. Trump certainly can't help! One problem for Putin might be some of the people Trump has surrounded himself with. While Putin seems to have fooled Trump, I suspect some of those in Trump's inner circle still see him, and, I hope President Trump will listen to those men... Then again, maybe Putin's church visits actually were sincere and he is going to do better. We'll soon see! Each of us, if we have יהוה's protection, can just be happy and rest easy in knowing יהוה is in the process of sorting it all out! We must not fear Putin or Xi or any of the other world leaders. Their day is about over, (Isa 2:2-4; Jer 25:15-35) but it may not be quite yet. So, I do know from personal experience, having ability to not be afraid of them depends completely on maintaining the strength of our faith in God. Remember, they are just temporary rulers allowed to their position by יהוה, to keep the world from chaos. (Rom 13:1-4) Once they are just causing turmoil, there seems no reason for them any longer. If they are not individually becoming followers of Christ, they will each one soon follow in the path of others like them. Yahya Sinwar, Hassan Nasrallah, Ismail Haniyeh, Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Alexander the Great and others who were once great terrors to the world, are now just a faint memory of the harm they did. And, they all lasted just a very short time in their reign of terror! Alexander "the great" is perhaps "the greatest" example of the brief existence of harmful rulers. But, there are many others. I once saw a terrified soldier get down on his hands and knees to lick the boots of Saddam Hussein, to Saddam's seeming glee. Some of Sadam's cronies looked on approvingly, while others not so much! Shortly after that, I saw Saddam found hiding in a hole like a rat, and then, taken out and hanged and his body disposed of at sea. (Acts 12:21-24) Soon, even the memory of the harm such men caused will be gone, along with all who choose to follow them. So then, as to Putin and Xi and the others... our witnessing them having their parts in what is happening in today's world is really, all of it taken as a whole, quite a revealing drama or theatrical spectacle, don't you think? (1 Cor 4:9) They are each one playing their part in the closing act of the play that is the history of sinful mankind. [Feb 26, 2025; I just heard Mr. Zelenskyy is heading to Washington trying to get a deal with Trump for Ukraine. I try hard to remain an observer (2 Chron 20:17) and never to take sides in these matters of our dying world, (1 John 5:19-21; Acts 17:29-31) leaving it to יהוה to sort it out. I must confess to wondering if God hasn't used Zelenskyy to help protect Ukraine against Putin. Since Putin surely has mobs or gangs in the U.S. who are active; will Trump be able to protect Zelenskyy? Does he really want to? Can Trump even protect himself? If Putin and Trump could get rid of Zelenskyy, they really would have Ukraine "on" the table! I must confess to being worried the assassination or "accidental" death of Zelenskyy in the U.S. or on his way there, might spark a nuclear WW III. Couldn't Trump negotiate a cease fire with Putin, so Trump could travel to Ukraine and see what he is getting in his deal. Then again, and again trying not to take sides, maybe nuclear war is what God has planned to bring an end of Armageddon; and of all wickedness forever. {Zelenskyy's visit is over and he got away physically unharmed. Russian media did call what happened to him a public execution... I must confess, seeing Mr. Zelenskyy dressed down by Mr. Trump and his team, after all Ukraine has been through, did remind me a bit of seeing Saddam Hussein and the worthless among his troops, happily watching that soldier lick Saddam's boots. Are today's world leaders trying to make us all boot lickers?} The European nations, being left feeling abandoned and in fear of what Putin will do next; could that be driving them toward something drastic? Maybe nuclear war is inevitable and those protected by God will need to be lifted up temporarily [whether lifted in protection physically or spiritually (2 Cor 12:2-4)], while mankinds nuclear war is snuffed out. (1 Thes 4:15-18) Being preserved alive during an event like that would certainly make everyone know, removing any doubt, their salvation is and can only be through faith in יהוה's Spirit. We must all be protected by his hand... Please don't doubt, one way or another, that simple truth is being made obvious to everyone alive. (Isa 45:22-25; Eze 28:25-26)]
If you believe your nation is above this world's danger, well, in my opinion, you are a fool. Just remember and know, Ukraine and Gaza had a good way of life, and likely felt completely safe just a few months ago. Yahya certainly felt safe when he hid his family in that bunker a year before his very public and humiliating execution... I wonder if those he hid survived! In most all nations, there are already whole neighborhoods and even cities where the rule of law is ignored and no longer has meaning. [That does seem to be one of the things Mr. Trump is trying to address.] Great nations have perished in recent years under such hate and defiance of law, leaving only suffering and chaos. In many of the nations that do remain, people have to hide from the wicked in their homes at night; and live in fear of the violence by day. (Psa 91:5-10 of 1-16) The wicked form gangs and just go into businesses and cars to steal what ever they want. Many or even most people today seem too ignorant or stupid to understand they are tearing down their own society by doing that... Do you recognize "food deserts" are the death throws of a dying society? When the populace in an area become so good for nothing and vile they have no respect for the rule of law, they just break into stores and take everything. The store then has to close. They call such places "food deserts," seeming to imply no one cares about them; even though it is their own fault. Gaza provides an extreme example: The masses attack aid trucks and kill or harm the drivers bringing them food; and then cry no one will help them when the trucks stop coming... As in the day of Noah and Lot, we have reached the point where only God can help! (2 Pet 2:6-9) Some fear the 2024 U.S. Presidential election will spark a civil war. (Even if it doesn't do so immediately, the prevalent fear it "might" [now or in the future] remains a testament to our world's instability. Mr. Putin said he believes the election of Mr. Trump will inspire a new world order... He might be right! [Apr 1, 2025; Trump has now said publicly he is thinking of running for a third term.] In God's will, Trump surely won't create anything that will help Putin and the morally deficit "yes men" he has surrounded himself with. (1 Thes 5:1-3) It seems Mr. Putin should be more concerned about all those troops invading Russia? Are they really North Korean, or are they Chinese? For what "real" purpose are they there; and, who do they obey?) Building and protecting a nation used to be important to many people: They wanted to create "the land of the free, and the home of the brave." Today, they are all mired down in infighting over race and religion and politics and... [Insert: Now in early 2025, we see Trump seeming to align America with Putin against Ukraine and Europe and even Canada and Greenland and... saying he is going to force Canada into statehood and take half of Ukraine's wealth. (I can't help but wonder if he intends the other half for Putin?) We see him threaten to seize Gaza and relocate the Palestinians living there. He sees all those suffering people and vizualizes "Trump" resorts! (Most people actually can see and understand the need to relocate them; or, they will just go right back to making the killing of Jews the whole focus of their existence.)] Inside America, we see Trump's appointees creating determined chaos as people are fired from their jobs in mass, in what might actually be a sincere attempt to do away with waste and corruption. Deliberately spreading chaos and fear, however, seems more a tactic from the Hitler days; so the masses not being harmed will be too afraid to speak out about the abuse. Some of those selectively chosen to be fired do seem to support the fear other persons have expressed that Mr. Trump wants to be certain there is no one to oppose him if he decides to stay in office after his 8 year limit. Being about his age, I can't imagine why: It logically seems he would want to be working to align himself with our Creator's will. He did say that's why God spared his life when his ear was struck by a splatter grade bullet. [Insert 2: In Mar of 25 and the early stages of Trump's second term, we see unrest unfolding as people loose their jobs. When young, I spent a tour in Vietnam (vietnamjc.com) as part of a 100 man field forward firebase hugely outnumbered by surrounding NVA forces. I was in constant fear they would attack us, which they did on several occasions. So, many of the terrors from today's world leave me feeling similar to the way I did in the Nam. I have seen terrifying deadly and destructive race riots before in America, but Mr. Trump sicking his followers on Mr. Pence introduced this nation to its first deadly "political" riot. His Capitol riot confirmed for us "no one" is safe. If his tumultuous changes go bad and bring only turmoil and chaos, does Trump imagine he and his cronies will be safe from that same rage he unleashed on his political enemies at the Capitol? My only point again: Is "not" to be saying Mr. Trump is good or bad, but that the world as a whole is bad, (1 Sam 2:10) and making clear no one is above the danger, and certainly that God is our only hope!] Putin has for decades shown his nation to be one slaughtering and killing people of other nations, just to take their valuable things. Now China seems to be showing herself the same as she looms over Taiwan with plans to invade. And now, many are forced to wonder if the US is joining that vile pack mentality? Some Europeans believe Putin has taken control of America and they need a new leader. Again, I don't speak about any of this so you can think about ways to change or fix it. The Bible teaches it is God's work and only He can fix it; and, I believe it also teaches we now see God's fix happening! So, then, I say these things so you can survive! This world is doomed and showing signs of its own destruction in every way we might choose to look. (2 Pet 3:10-13; Luke 21:25-26) The eye of news shows us people who have proudly resisted the rule of law for decades in the US, (Rom 13:1-4) but now want us to feel sorry as they cry and moan over their own suffering because of the lack of that very law and order they destroyed! We see views "from inside the flames" of wind driven blow torch like fire storms that hug the ground surrounding roads as far as they eye can see, while destroying everything in their path; blowing embers igniting fires miles in front of the blaze. We see drivers trying to escape from the midst of such flames, surely praying their car doesn't break down or catch fire! What would the imagined fires of hell look like? God's eye of world news shows us wicked and lawless gangs as they attack and beat people because they are Jews; while other senseless gangs beat Palestinians [Muslims]. Both groups imagine their mission is all about Zionism. Their centuries old hate stems from God having given land, which some of their ancient ancestors somehow imagined belonged to them, to his Jewish Nation; that nation being used and blessed by יהוה to produce his promised Messiah. (Gen 3:15) Both groups [and most people alive today] fail to appreciate God's promises to Abraham were for a blessing to "all" the nations (Gen 22:18 of 15-18; Gen 18:18 of 16-19) and that God's modern day Israel comprises everyone who expresses faith in Christ. (Gal 3:26-29) None of those killing and harming other humans are fighting for Zion! After being viciously beaten in some historically neutral part of the world, a young Jewish man was interviewed saying he was going home to Jerusalem for safety. He seems oblivious to the fact that, just like all the rest of us, his only real hope of safety lies in his faith in Jesus Christ... Armageddon does thus include God demonstrating He is reaching in to destroy every wicked person, wherever they hide, (Rev 6:12-17) as the faithful will also see him preserve alive every single righteous person; those kept alive by their expression of faith in Christ's words. (Rom 10:9-10; John 3:17-19 of 16-21) Should or does it surprise you God is often using the bad wicked people have done or tried to do to others, against those very individuals causing harm? (Psa 37:14-15; Psa 7:14-16; Est 7:9-10) Who will protect YOU from the domestic terrorists biologically poisoning our food supply? (Mark 16:18)
Just remember, knowing what is happening and discussing it with others (Mal 3:16-4:3) isn't causing it. Recognizing it is rapidly getting worse isn't making it worse. It just means YOU are not so stupid as not to see. Don't try to remain ignorant by pretending it isn't happening... Everyone will know!
