Another thing you good folks could help me with is differentiating between the war of all nations coming against Israel before the mil and the same happening after the mil. From what I gather, if correct, there are two areas in focus for a war from all nations. Megiddo and Jezreel. Are these two different places or the same place? Which verses describe the war before the mil and which verses describe the war after the mil?
A thought I have found helpful...
You might do well to study out the following video beyond those two wars it's presenter is going over, to what study principles his conclusions and assertions appear to point back to his having followed.
Then, write them out, for your own use in your own studies.
The study principles are there.
Just a matter of focusing your attention on attempting to point them out to yourself in written form, based on questions to yourself like "what study principle or principles does he appear to be relying on? How would I word those as study principles that I might follow?"
And you cannot go wrong in what study principles you might pick on in this particular speaker; the man's brilliance as a Bible student is very, very rare.
