Hi John and Doves,
It's not just Israel that is being dominated by the Erev Rav (mixed multitude). It's the entire world. Evil forces are being allowed to dominate the whole world. This shows how VERY close we are. Ordinary people are being shaken to waken. As the saying goes, "There are no atheists in fox-holes. The worse it gets, the more people will turn to God. By the time our LORD Jesus appears in the sky where EVERYONE will see Him, I believe that billions will cry out to Him. A number that "no man can count" as per Revelation 7.
The Iranian people are just as frightened. They are dominated by extreme evil. They booed Khamenei at a recent protest and disavowed Hamas in Gaza. There's a pattern here. This is happening hot on the heels of the UK government's recent banning of Hamas - who we know is tied closely to Hezbollah and Iran. Yet - at the same time, there are politicians trying desperately to revive the nuclear agreement known as JCPOA. Most confusing.
