Why the Rapture and Nuclear WW3 are BEFORE the Ezekiel 38-39 War

Israel, Israel, Israel. How many times have we heard or read that the end times all center around Israel!

 

There is so much happening concerning God’s (old) covenant people I am having difficulty keeping up. But thanks to the Scriptures and several sources giving confirmation, let me explain why I believe the Rapture and nuclear World War MUST take place before the Ezekiel 38-39 Gog-Magog War.

 

We are witnessing in real time nearly every nation lining up against the tiny nation of Israel.

E-1, Zechariah 12:2, and The Great Shaking 

If you will remember, in The Shaking then Exodus Pattern I wrote how the nations are roaring against Israel “retaking territory” claiming that it is illegal and “undermining the viability” of the Two State Solution (as indicated in the EU Statement to the UN Security Council at the May 8, 2026, Arria-formula meeting); yet the Scriptures tell us it is land God gave Israel to steward. 

 

Recently, the Israeli government opened construction on the E-1 settlement located east of Jerusalem. Critics argue this plan would sever East Jerusalem from the rest of the West Bank potentially hindering the creation of a contiguous Palestinian state and possibly putting to an end to the Two-State Solution. 

 

Bubba at BubbaNews believes this will result in the imminent fulfillment of Zechariah 12:2:

 

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [and] against Jerusalem. - Zechariah 12:2 KJV

 

Bubba believes E-1 will be the catalyst to speedily align nations that have been undecided on the Two-State Solution to join those who have demanded it and together push for it these next few weeks!

 

ADD TO THAT—

 

Iran’s deadline for America. If you weren't aware, Iran has given United States a deadline to meet outrageous demands.  And it culminates on Feast of Trumpets.

 

ADD TO THAT—

The U.S. has been the only permanent Security Council member to consistently stand with Israel. While the US has historically used its veto power extensively to shield Israel, European permanent members like Britain and France have not consistently vetoed resolutions against Israel in the same manner, and their diplomatic stances often differ from Washington’s, particularly regarding settlement legality and military actions. If the UK and France jump on board the Two-State Solution Train, how long will it take to "eliminate" the only nation that stands in the way?

 

August 26, 2026, one day before the August 27-28 Blood Moon, the United Nations Security Council met where there was not a new unilateral decision, but a reaffirmation of the Council’s position that the Two-State Solution is the ultimate goal and that current ceasefire and governance arrangements are meant to create the conditions for it. ^UNSCO  Friday, August 28, 2026, the UN is to hold Closed Consultations regarding Lebanon subsequent to the IDF launching strikes on southern Lebanon following Hezbollah's explosive drone attacks on soldiers as reported on August 27.

 

The Abraham Accords-based 20-Point Gaza Peace Plan incorporates a pathway to Palestinian statehood by taking chunks of land away from Israel. Many believe as I do that this is an agreement that will be built upon and strengthened (gabar or geber in the Hebrew) by the Antichrist (for an explanation of this go to Will the Rapture Dominoes Fall THIS Fall?). Will the completion of this Plan be demanded in the weeks ahead?

The E-1 Settlement east of Jerusalem may be the final straw leading to The Shaking then Exodus Pattern. In that article I shared, “My research journey took me to the Book of Ezekiel where I came to realize the modern-day retaking of land by Israel was a foreshadowing of the 2^nd Regathering of Israel”:

 

. . . Notice there was a great shaking that occurred prior to Israel’s regathering in unbelief and that they will be shaken again with the Ezekiel 38-39 War to awaken and bring them to belief before their 2^nd Regathering. 

This is the pattern the Holy Spirit wanted me to share with you, dear Brothers and Sisters! There is first shaking to awaken the dead then salvation! . . . 

Are all these events a peek into the June-July-August window for a possible 2026 Great Shaking beginning in America as prophesied by Brandon Biggs and Julie Green which will eventually lead to the Rapture Exodus?

 

If Bubba is correct and the nations rise up in an attempt to divide Israel and Jerusalem IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS then we may see the Great Convergence of Events that have been foretold to occur prior to and leading up to the Rapture!

 

ARE WE ON THE VERGE OF THE GREAT SHAKING AND RAPTURE? lists the things that happen leading to the Catching Away of the Bride of Christ, which includes the Crippling of much of the United States grid beginning in the Northeast. Were you aware that:

 

On Wednesday [August 26, 2026] President Donald Trump declared a national emergency “To Secure The United States Bulk-Power System.” 

The executive order aims to “protect the security, integrity, and reliability of bulk-power system electric equipment” from foreign interference.

According to a White House fact sheet, the emergency was declared with respect to a “unusual and extraordinary foreign threat” posed to the power grid. . .

While China and other foreign actors may exploit backdoors or manufactured vulnerabilities in the U.S. electrical infrastructure, a false flag cyber attack on the power grid has long been an operation mulled by the globalists to gain control. 

Klaus Schwab said that a cyber attack would be worse than Covid during the height of the pandemic operation. His group, The World Economic Forum, has discussed the cyber attack threat since at least 2018. 

The WEF positioned itself at the center of the Covid “Plandemic” to push a “Great Reset” which aimed to “Build Back Better” as part of a “Fourth Industrial Revolution” – essentially using a problem, reaction, solution dialectic to further world governance. ^{alexjoneslive.com}

 

I think what Alex Jones posted on "X" may be correct:

🚩FALSE FLAG RED ALERT: Mass Cyber Attack To Be Blamed On Iran, Russia, Or China INCOMING!

"The Writing's On The Wall! The Financial & Military Planets Are Aligned! I Can Smell Cyber Attack, I Can Smell False Flag, I Can Even Smell A Nuclear False Flag!" https://t.co/ayQTrlFXQi pic.twitter.com/1mzBTcUc43

Another upcoming event is the Destruction of Belarus and Damascus. Brandon Biggs prophesied about Belarus and Phillip Barnett foretold a pre-Rapture fall of Damascus. More recently, Patrick Winfrey was shown a Vision: Confirmation of Russia Attack on West and Rapture @ the DOOR. Around 5 minutes into the video, Patrick shares a dream he had in June 2026. In the dream, the YouTube Channel DAHBOO77 was reporting that Russia was to attack either Israel or the U.S. Our Brother Patrick goes on to explain a connection with Canada and Belarus and an attack against America from Russia.  

 

Patrick added that about 8 years ago he was given a vision of a nuclear missile launch from Belarus. In Strange July Leading to a 2024 Rapture? I included Brandon Biggs’ revelation that the sign of World War 3 beginning in earnest would be an attack on Belarus. It looked like a nuclear mushroom in the vision, but the Lord corrected Brandon and told him, “It is a weapon never used before on earth.”

The sign of World War 3 beginning in earnest would be an attack on Belarus. It looked like a nuclear mushroom in the vision, but the Lord corrected Brandon and told him, “It is a weapon never used before on earth.”

 

Further Study of Ezekiel

 

It is possible that the Book of Ezekiel foretells that the first Gog-Magog War takes place after the Antichrist confirms the Daniel 9:27 Covenant with Israel.

 

Gog and Magog appear in Ezekiel 38—39 and in Revelation 20:7–8. While these two passages use the same names, a close study of Scripture clearly demonstrates they do not refer to the same people and events. The events are separated by at least 1,000 years. In Ezekiel’s prophecy, Gog will be the leader of a great army that attacks the land of Israel, which is “peaceful and unsuspecting” at the time (Ezekiel 38:11). Gog is described as “of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal” (Ezekiel 38:2–3). When will Ezekiel’s battle of Gog and Magog occur? There are a couple of theories:

• Before the tribulation begins. This view points to the fact that, after the battle, the people of Israel will be burning the enemy’s weapons for seven years and spend over seven months burying the dead (Ezekiel 39:9–10, 12–16). That length of time most likely requires the battle to be fought before the tribulation, and possibly even before the rapture of the church.

• During the first part of the seven-year tribulation. This view hinges on the fact that Israel is at peace when the attack begins (Ezekiel 38:8, 11). The security Israel enjoys is assumed to be the result of Israel’s covenant with the Antichrist at the beginning of the tribulation, Daniel’s 70th Week (Daniel 9:27a).

According to Ezekiel, Magog will not win. God will intervene to preserve Israel. “There shall be a great earthquake” (Ezekiel 38:19), “every man’s sword will be against his brother” (verse 21), and God “will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on [Gog] and on his troops and on the many nations with him” (verse 22). The result is that the nations will see God’s greatness and holiness (verse 23). ^{gotquestions.org}

 

Israel is far from “living at peace” at this writing! That is why I agree with what Nathan E. Jones wrote in The War of Gog and Magog: During the Tribulation. As gotquestions.org suggests, “The security Israel enjoys is assumed to be the result of Israel’s covenant with the Antichrist at the beginning of the tribulation, Daniel’s 70th Week (Daniel 9:27a).”

 

If the Ezekiel 38-39 War takes place after the signing of the Daniel 9:27 Covenant, that would mean the Rapture and nuclear World War 3 have already taken place. This makes sense to me since America must be taken out via nuclear war so that Israel stands alone when Gog attacks as Ezekiel 38, especially verse 13, illustrates. “According to Ezekiel, Magog will not win. God will intervene to preserve Israel. . . The result is that the nations will see God’s greatness and holiness (verse 23).” ^{gotquestions.org}

 

Also the EMP effect of the Rapture in addition to nuclear war would knock civilization back to a more primitive way of living (thus, the need for fires to keep warm and horses in Ezekiel 38:4). This is during the Tribulation when Those in Christ will already be with Jesus because the Dispensation of Grace is completed before Jacob’s Trouble.

 

Bringing together the textual data and prophetic framework, the most coherent timing of the Gog and Magog invasion is: During the first half of the tribulation, after the rapture and after Israel has entered a covenant of security with the Antichrist. ^{globalprophecy.com}  This timing satisfies Ezekiel’s “latter years” language, Israel’s post‑regathering security, and the seven‑year aftermath described in the prophecy.

The Marriage, the Cup, and the Sign

The 7-Year Honeymoon Shavua

 

Many Brethren believe the Rapture causes the 7-year Tribulation to start because the Bride of Christ is to have a honeymoon the length of a shavua, BUT the wedding will likely occur AFTER she appears before the bema seat of Christ and receives any crowns and rewards. In the Hebrew wedding tradition the Bride is crowned—"On the wedding day, the bridegroom is seen as a king and the bride as a queen”.

 

Revelation 12 describes the Day of the Rapture when Michael’s angelic army casts down Satan the Red Dragon who takes his fallen army with him who manifest in Earth’s atmosphere as aliens in UFOs. This is the Great Heavenly Exchange where as “they come down, we go up”. Not only will the economic “house” be falling at the time of the Rapture, but nuclear missiles, fallen angels, and meteorites/asteroids will also be coming down as we go up! (Check out ‘The Great Heavenly Exchange’ section of The Revelation 12 Galactic Federation, The Great Re:Set, and The Rapture.) 

 

Tom Horn’s scenario of the Antichrist coming as an Alien Savior may be accurate. This man of sin will offer false peace and is who the Luciferian elite have been waiting for to bring supposed “order out of chaos”. While demonic aliens, chaos, and death overruns earth dwellers, the rescued Bride will be in heaven.

 

Will it be in 2026? Of that, I am not sure. However, I agree with Brandon Biggs who in one of his recent Prayer Videos spoke of the nearness of nuclear World War 3 and our witnessing its beginning, especially Turkey blocking off the Strait to the Black Sea (as I wrote about here).

At Precisely 12:12 AM Eastern Time On August 28th A Stunning Blood Moon Eclipse Will Occur Over The Entire Continental United States

 

Last Celestial Sign Before Nuclear War?

 

It is not often that everyone living in the entire continental United States is able to view a blood moon eclipse with their own eyes. On the night of August 27th into the early hours of August 28th, a celestial spectacle will light up the night sky as Earth’s colossal shadow rises to swallow more than 96 percent of the full moon. In a breathtaking cosmic display, the brilliant lunar surface will be plunged into darkness, bleeding into deep shades of copper, fiery orange, and blood red. . . 

In the United States, it will start at 9:23 PM eastern time on August 27th, and it will end at 3:01 [AM] eastern time on August 28th. But it will be at precisely 12:12 AM eastern time that the main event will occur. At that moment the red color of the “blood moon” will reach a peak, and throughout human history many cultures have considered a “blood moon” to be a very ominous sign. ^{Michael Snyder} [Words in brackets added by Lyn.] 

When and How to See the August 2026 Blood Moon

If you look at the above map you will see that the shadow cast by the August 28, 2026, Partial Lunar Eclipse during totality cuts the USA in half eerily like the path of the April 8, 2024, Great American Total Solar Eclipse. (See the map in “X” Marks the Year of the Rapture?) 

 

Will this ominous sight be the last heavenly sign before the Catching Away of the True Church and the destruction of America via nuclear World War 3?
