When will the Lord go forth to fight the nations?

Les explains that the Middle Eastern nations and the rest of the world are building up their military hardware by the billions, getting ready for when God will call them to the end-time battle of Armageddon. Israel will go through terrible days in the closing three and a half years of the Tribulation—worse than the Nazi Holocaust, which will seem like a Sunday school picnic by comparison. Gentile armies will overrun them; the city will be taken, houses rifled, and half the city will go into captivity. When it almost appears Satan is finally going to succeed in destroying Israel by these Gentile hordes, then shall the Lord go forth. The capitalized Lord in the Old Testament is Jehovah, and Jesus claimed to be the I Am of the Old Testament, so it is the Lord Christ. He has ascended and is in heaven, but He will leave heaven and go forth back to the earth to fight against those nations as when He fought in the day of battle—as when God fought Israel's battles down through her history.
