To say that "those predictions are always wrong" because they have always been wrong in the past is stating the obvious. Yes, we know that the rapture has never happened before, but one day it will happen. But I take your point that the Gog Magog war hasn't started yet. Perhaps it will start in the next 4 weeks, perhaps not. Certainly we have reached the point that Iran and Russia have full control of Syria. so much so that Netanyahu recently met Putin and expressed his concern about the Iranian presence in Syria. But I believe there is something significant about this sign. Perhaps it is a forewarning of something which will happen after September 23, not exactly on the date. All we can do is watch and wait...
