Hi Lisa, blessings to you in Jesus mighty name.
My opinion is that when the tribulation starts, we won't be sitting on our computers chatting about it! We'll be fighting for our lives. I believe WW3 is coming, I believe an 'alien' (fallen angel) invasion is definitely coming.
Battle in the heavenlies usually manifests here on earth - as the occult know 'as above so below'. So I think when the fall blown war breaks out in heaven, there will also be war here on earth at the same time.
Quoting: Jerichofall The thief in the night refers to Jesus coming quickly, with out warning. Also bible says you will no not the day nor the hour!
I believe this helps you understand that your to be ready for Jesus to come at any moment. The bible gives us the signs of the times to look for and warns against trying to predict a date!
Christian theologians speak of the "doctrine of imminence." This means that according to the Bible there is no prophetic event that has to happen before Jesus snatches his church from the earth.
That is, the Bible teaches us that we should be ready for Jesus to come for us at any moment. I fully believe that. But it should be noted with regard to this doctrine that while no major prophetic event has to happen before the Rapture, that doesn't mean no such event will happen first. Perhaps the clearest evidence of this truth is the rebirth of Israel. This major prophetic event was foretold in Ezekiel 36--37, yet its fulfillment happened before the Rapture.
I just gave you a solid link to exactly what appears accurate as far as events happening and that have happened since 1948. We are looking at the first war of Israel against Gog and Magog described in Ezekiel!!
Here is that link again so you get a better understanding.
