Yes, a partial fulfillment may be in view in 2 Chron. 20 when Moab, Ammon, and parts of Edom invaded Judah during King
Jehosophat’s reign (872-848 BC)

But the Battle of 2 Chron. 20 doesn’t fully meet the requirements of Psalm 83, having many fewer antagonists, so on that basis we’ll
assume its fulfillment is still in the future, perhaps the very near future.
At this time, Jordan is the final hold out.

• King Abdullah II of Jordan has publicly stated that he thinks Jordan’s treaty with Israel is a mistake. He has clearly been more critical of Israel lately, lobbying the US, Egypt, and others against the Jews. Some observers believe he’s looking for a way to break the treaty. If hostilities break out, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him supporting the attackers in some way, as Psalm 83 indicates.

to Jeremiah 48:47.

Egypt
Isaiah 19:1-22. Verses 1-10 reveal that because of her sins, Egypt will be characterized by civil war,
desolation, and famine.
Eze 29:14 "I will turn the fortunes of Egypt and make them return to the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin, and
there they will be a lowly kingdom. Eze 29:15 "It will be the lowest of the kingdoms, and it will never again lift itself up above the nations. And I will make them so small
that they will not rule over the nations. Eze 29:16 "And it will never again be the confidence of the house
of Israel, bringing to mind the iniquity of their having turned to Egypt. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD."'"

Egypt
Understandably, Egypt has developed a fear of Israel as prophesied in verses 16-17. This has come to pass only since 1948 and especially
since the Six Day War .
Prophetically, today is still the period described in Isaiah 19:16-17. Eventually, there will be total and lasting peace between Israel and Egypt,
which in turn will give way to Egypt’s conversion in Isaiah 19:18-22.

man that wants to replace him is the former head of I.A.E.A Mohamed ElBaradei who shielded the Iranian nuclear weapons

Damascus then, this prophecy could not have been fulfilled!

AP News ServiceISRAEL HEADS FOR WAR WITH SYRIA
TEL AVIV [MENL] -- Israel's military has been preparing for the
increasing prospect of a war with Syria in a confrontation expected to include Iran and Hizbullah.
With the destabilization of Lebanon and now Egypt, the world waits and watches as the Middle East is at a breaking point.
The General Staff has discussed an assessment by the military's Northern Command of an emerging threat from Syria and Hizbullah over the next year. Northern Command said a
weakened Syria, under pressure from the United States to withdraw from Lebanon, was likely to approve an Iranian-
Hizbullah campaign against Israel.
Military sources said this assessment was the latest by several senior officers who envision a major war with Syria by by the
end of this year.

Israel warned Damascus it would go on the offensive against Syrian army positions in Lebanon if Hezbollah,
the Syrian-backed Lebanese militia, launched attacks across the border.
In addition to the warning to Damascus, the IDF has begun preparations for a "worst-case" outcome. Ten days ago, an armored division received
an emergencyorder that moved it to the Golan Heights, on the border with Syria, to
reinforce troops based there.
Israel also placed its submarine flotilla on high alert. Military sources said three German-built submarines - the Tekuma, Dolphin and Leviathan
-- hadstarted a 21-day shift in the Persian Gulf. The submarines are believed to
be equipped with nuclear warheads, but would only come into play in the
event of an all-out regional war, according to sources.

When Syria attacks Israel and is destroyed, Russia will have to intervene - scripture tells us they will be drawn down to
attack Israel as if being hooked and pulled down. The hook is that they pledged to protect Syria!
Ezek. 38:4-15 Russia is pulled down to attack Israel.Ezek. 38 and 39 describe the whole battle.
Zech. 14:12 - their flesh will consume away - could be a neutron bomb - Remember how they have to bury the dead!
Ezek. 39:9-10 Israel will dispose of the weapons for 7 years! Therefore, this must take place PRIOR to or at the start of the Tribulation. The burning of the
weapons should be complete before the second coming of Jesus Christ.Ezek. 39:11-16 It will take 7 months to bury the dead! They will wait 7 months to start - they will send teams in to ‘tag’ bones left on the surface and teams to
bury those bones - could this be a result of chemical or nuclear weapons?Russia has supplied the Arab world with weapons and men every time they
attack Israel!Most of the countries that are mentioned are Islamic/Moslem countries today. They include Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan,Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Libya,
Ethiopia, and possibly part of Sudan. Remember, Syria is not mentioned because
it is already destroyed. (Ez.38:8)Ezek. 38:23God will intervene in this battle and receive glory – however, this
sign will allow Jews to embrace the anti-christ.

Persia or Iran (Elam)
Iran is a Persian state rather than Arab, but it shares the same religion with the Moslem Arabs, Islam. Peace will come between Israel and Iran by
means of destruction according to Jeremiah 49:34-39.
So, Iran is not listed with the Psalms 83 countries and it appears it won’t attack until after the
Psalms 83 war.
Next week we will look at the Gog/Magog war…
