henry kissinger shortly before his death named 2025 specifically, that israel would not survive that year if it's hostile neighours would stop their eternal infighting and all turn against them. why did he say this? because the religious jews, and even the 'secular'/reformed ones, are deadly afraid of this curse. as in biblical times, in both preceding cases, god punished the jews for their disobedience by giving them up to their hostile neighbours. so that means, we will shortly see the hand of god at work, he will decide the fate of the modern israeli state. the usa has got a similar problem, they are at the end of the ~250 year imperial cycle, as outlined in sir john glubb's excellent monograph fate of empires.   ubb.pdf after ~250 years (about 3x 8 decades) an empire faces great inner turmoil and threats from outside. they go through a phase of great decline, usually culminating in inner conflicts, civil war, and attack by hostile neighbours. either they manage to overcome, but the cost is high in blood, and the imperial cycle is renewed. or they fall and are given over to a conquering empire (or hostile barbarous nomads), "the kings to the east" to use biblical language. the east is in this sense symbolically associated with heathendom and idolatry, with cruelty and barbarity, with the lust for power, bloodshed and plunder. 1776 + 250 = 2026 the number 250 is not exact, sometimes it's a decade more or less, but it is a reoccurring cycle through the history of empires. and here this coincides with the curse of the 8th decade, that specifically hangs over the jews' head and a sword of damocles.
