Having concerns over my own views of late (as seem to have regular cycles…firm believer in self critique and probably even more so in not taking oursleves too seriously also) had this not been brought up to any degree, I don’t think i would comment on it online much. On one hand, for the simple reason that we live in a country (USA) where globalism is choking us out…as well as a lot of drama queenery on the opposing side too. In the midst of it all there are people with real thoughts, concerns, and confusion for sure. So in a way for me, it just is what it is. So outside of 2 videos of a NJ wrestling highlight (I like social artifacts that demo pulse–like if we looked back on America 100 years from now…what would be in the time capsul kind of thing…something to earmark the age), I would have likely not said anything further.
On the other hand, we are in the midst of 2 storms (as far as i can tell). 1 storm is Trump worship and hope for a country (for better or for worse), and the other storm is thick watcher langauge of American destruction and at times views to see politics as only deception (which is not a non-opinion…it is very very much an opinion seemingly to nuatralize). I can appreciate those (as this forum will support) who trend to believe politics are just deception and destraction. I concur with the sentiment of concern (as where I would post an An0maly video) considering the best real world perspective of just how much of this is theater (from a non-eschatalogical POV…which i believe is healthy to include at the consideration and weighing things out table).
So the main reason i would post is not so much to give my POV. I applaud any who are JDF veterans like myself who have stayed in the mix for years. Thank you guys for your devotion and loyalty to our journey together. Amen. But of those, many know my POV (as it is controversially the odd duck for sure). But the reason why i would feel led to post is in relation to perhaps the same reason i would post my POV. Not to affirm exactitude. But to provide contrast for consideration reasons (more than certainly for controversial).

GETTING IT OUT OF THE WAY
To get it out of the way, the trajectory i would see most probable: Further Trump drama, increased use of Antifa (as @BayouBushi mentioned…maybe even as Hamas replicas), incrouching WW3 propoganda, and massive drama but a Trump win in November. I’d also guesstimate that Maga will become stronger during Tterm2. I don’t get this deduction from Trump worship, Nor do i get it from hoping for a better America. I get it because of the Abraham Accords and the Saudi line up to nuetralize with Israel. Because those are fitting slated puzzle pieces that nicely co-join an already steepened Ez 38 landscape amasing. I believe in MAGA not for its own sake, but Israels.
When i bring that up often it is looked at as perhaps a petty way to hope for a salvaging of America. And God does not need the USA to protect Israel. And many watchers see Ez 38 occur without an America (not exegesis but well meant biblical POV). But I think God kind of wants us to “get it.” So very low tech POVs (far from high end eschatology) would simply be: America for dacades has protected Israel. We have (a) Ez 38 on the map. (b) Abraham Accords. (c) Saudi normalization potential. And (d) a likely Trump return. When viewed this way it is what i would call coloring book eschat. Its very low hanging fruit. Controversial fruit. Yes. But that is what makes it so exciting. Me thinks.

THE REASON
So the reason i post is because JDF has seen my sincere heart in how i not only have trouble with my own view, but at times can frown upon and hate it…lol. Like, “I don’t want my view to be anything near reality,” out of frustration and even some anger. Human emotions. And only God knows the outcome.
But the reason I post is because there is already a very loud voice of things the church in prophecy should look for presumably. The overspill of some presumptions on that have caused ruckas on the forum. As some may know, i am not a huge advocate of church watcher mode and theory. But instead, i believe the ideas about end times reside much closer to Israel than what might come from a church eschat blueprint. I believe a lot of things can take a large meaning of their own from perhaps having too much focus on elements watchers might deem most important. I think a lot of it is helpful…but, to me, seemingly more like side dishes. And Israel (via Ez 38) the “main course.” And all the side dishes make the most sense or best sense or only sense in proximity to the main dish “first,” kind of thing is i guess how i would see it.
Now that may not be accurate (but Ez 38 is pretty readable and trackable). But if true my "getting it out of the way’ section (a child’s coloring book version) would basically be low hanging fruit God might provide even the commonners. Rather than distraction and deception it might be like litterally dropping it in our laps. Its not so much “watching” to see it like that though. Which raises like a huge eyebrow…in a social setting where doing so seems to escape the masses (at least in its super ease of dismissability often).
So i apologize if this is yet another rant. But its not in a vacumm. We well know there are other narratives that do have a voice. If politics is low hanging fruit brought into our effortless laps, it might be a lot of things…but deception and distractions would not be the two i would use to desribe that. Just saying. Well thanks for letting me post. Bracing for me to be in error here folks. Because in some ways…i actually want it to be. Blessings.
). So we have to go to the places where the fish are and use The Light (and don’t forget His Love) as our bait.

I admit though, it is difficult in my view to soften all the moral implications of my perspectives.
