“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
I believe there is a linkage with Revelation Chapter 11, with the measuring of the outer court of the Temple and with Zechariah Chapter 2, where God will be a wall of fire round about and the building of the Temple and of God laying a line over the entire city of Jerusalem, and also to Leviticus Chapter 25 and walled cities, where if encumbered by agreement did not go out in the Jubilee release, and then finally with Satan ultimately being cast out of Heaven in Revelation Chapter 12, which is the start of the ‘Great Tribulation.’
“Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.” Zechariah 1:16
“I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand. Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof. And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him, And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein: For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.” Zechariah 2:1-5
“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the city shall be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananeel unto the gate of the corner. And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath.” Jeremiah 31:38-39
It has to do with a future Jubilee being reached and then with this world’s (Satan’s) attempt to break that covenant by dividing Israel and Jerusalem as they have been restored since 1948 (Israel) and 1967 (Jerusalem), being the two conditions required to count the seventy sevens (upon Israel, not the Church) per Daniel Chapter 9.
Further it has to do with the court being in session in Daniel Chapter 7, and the title deed to the Earth and the fullness of time being reached as we’re shown in Revelation Chapters 4, 5 and 6, the Elders are the heavenly Sanhedrin, they are the ‘Court (that) will sit.’
“I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.” Daniel 7:9
“The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” Revelation 4:10-11
Satan is attempting to legally claim ownership over the Earth by encumbering the restoration coming at the time of the end with the fulness of the Gentiles as witnessed by Israels restoration, and to do this by breaking the “Everlasting Covenant” via a deceitful agreement, by either dividing Jerusalem and Judea or placing a wall around it or both, which could allow an ordinal mechanism for him to claim legal ownership. In Leviticus Chapter 25, walled cities did not go out with the Jubilee release. Do an online search for “Israel and the wall” and see for your self. It first occurred in 445 BC and the 70 weeks count from Daniel Chapter 9 began and counted all the way to completing 62 weeks (not 69 weeks though it was after 69 weeks when Messiah was crucified in 32 AD, but of the 490 year count it was at 62 weeks or 434 years completed, the 49 years were the Jubilee of righteousness that he provided of himself to as many as would receive it, the Gospel of truth and life and hope and grace, just as he read from Isaiah Chapter 61 and claimed it as being acceptable, it could not be undone by man, but to Israel it could be rejected, for which is was) and it, this same timing, is repeating today but on a much larger scale to a much greater end,
This action with the measuring line then is God once again being far ahead of Satan by making all of Jerusalem a part of the Holy Mount, hence when the court goes into session, Satan will find his scheme was anticipated and accounted for 2500 years in advance, then Satan, as we’re shown in Revelation Chapter 12, being thrown out of Heaven, no longer having any reason or legal standing to accuse the brethren or claim anything of the covenant over his Earthly authority or over the ‘Earth dwellers’ as their called in the Book of Revelation, but he has somehow encumbered Jerusalem for 1260 days and he will be given his due, as he is now cast to the Earth knowing exactly how short a time he has, but the (now believing) Jewish remnant of Israel will also know the truth and will call for the Messiah to return, they will seek him earnestly and this is why Satan must seek their destruction without delay, having his full attention and desperate wrath poured out like a flood,
” . .and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.” Daniel 9:26
“And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.” Revelation 12:15
“I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.” Hosea 5:15
After two days,
“After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.” Hosea 6:2
“Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!” Isaiah 64:1-2
Also, as a non-biblical reference, refer to the details of the Temple Scroll discovered in Cave 11 at Qumran, where there is a Temple described with a court that would require the entire city of Jerusalem to be covered by the outer court and also for the entire valley before the Temple between the Mount of Olives and the Temple to be filled in, that is, to be built as described would require millions of tons of rock/dirt/rubble and construction to extend the mount as described. Now notice Zechariah 14, where Messiah splits the mount apart as his foot touches down at his bodily return to the Earth, what is really happening here and why? I conjecture, with the plumb line he is in effect extending the mountain to a plain where it could be built as described?
It also has a tower next to the Temple, just like the vineyard in Isaiah Chapter 5.
Consider:
“This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.”
Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.”
Zechariah 4:6-9
“Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle;
and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east,
and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.”
Zechariah 14:1-5
“I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.” Psalm 49:4
“We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.” Psalm 74:9
“I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:” Psalm 78:2
“And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.” Isaiah 6:9
“For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.” Isaiah 29:10
“Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.” Micah 3:6
“And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: “ Matthew 13:14
“And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.” Luke 8:10
“That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.” Matthew 13:35
“(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.” Romans 11:8
“For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.” Matthew 24:18
Most would agree the pace has been picking up and we seem to be accelerating toward something not good in the world,
Today, with evil now working overtime in an attempt to divide Israel (Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria) when this event does occur, whether next month, next year or if it should take another 70 years, that whenever it does occur, it will be as prophesied, and allowed only under Gods timing, and it will bring with it a curse upon the world,
“The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.” Isaiah 24:4
And specifically upon those nations directly responsible,
“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:3
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.” Zechariah 12:9
Ancient Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar received world power for 70 years (25200 days) as the head of gold of the world empires, and his kingdom under Belshazzar was ‘weighed in the balances and found wanting’ with the handwriting on the wall (Daniel Chapter 5) this occurred all in relation to Gods plan for Israel, on Gods perfect timeline to fulfill the transgression, the 70 years Israel didn’t allow the land its required rest, the Holy Laws and Ordinances, the very structure had to be perfectly maintained with the the punitive measures enacted to allow for God to then insert himself into the world at the fulness of the timing of the 70 weeks as The Word made flesh, and then to be cutoff, but not for himself per Daniel Chapter 9.
” For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.” Isaiah 34:8
When we wonder what specific events bring about the time of the end, it is my sincere belief that dividing Israel (restored from the sword) is at the very core, this is why the end comes when it does come, its why judgement comes upon the whole Earth. The transgressors have come to the full, God has kept his promise (Isaiah 11:11) the times within the Laws and Ordinances were being fulfilled, the diaspora was over, the land restored and then this world (system) of principalities and powers, will have undone this work in the physical Earth with lies and deceit, seeking to prevent the times and seasons from resolving with the Jubilee restoration of all things,
Jesus is retuning with vengeance,
“For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.” Isaiah 63:4
Peter stated, that heaven must keep Jesus until the Jubilee,
“Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.” Acts 3:21
Its his inheritance that’s being bargained away with false promises, I believe its also why Satan is thrown out of heaven:
“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Revelation 12:7-9
Its a covenant with death, and God is going to annul it:
“And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.” Isaiah 28:18
Its interesting to me that 70 years after the United States used the first Atomic bomb in war, August 6th, 1945, (a great sword was given) and came to world prominence that very day, its also exactly 25200 days or 70 years exactly to the 9th day of AV (August 5th) in 2014.
As many are aware, tish b’av has always been a day of darkness and mourning relating to Gods prophetic timetable, the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed both times on this day.
And now, as this nation in relation to supporting Israel physically restored since 1948, and then Jerusalem restored in 1967, (the two conditions Gabriel said were required to count the 70 weeks from recorded in Daniel 9) in the same manner time-wise (19 years apart) as were the three sieges of Nebuchadnezzar and the desolation. This world system, UN/USA now begins to be a mechanism to undo that restoration and I cant help but wonder what may be coming if this division for a false peace and security (lies spoken at the table) is soon successful,
“And both of these kings’ hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.” Daniel 11:27
And knowing that prophetic events often repeat in patterns,
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9
“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” Romans 14:4
“The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.”
Psalm 90:10
The book of Job is about evidencing what faith is (to us), despite how everything and everyone in this world would have you believe something natural over what the spirit reveals, trust him always and he will bring you in,
Satan is able to stand in Heaven. God gave Adam legal authority over the Earth, who in turn gave that authority to Satan. When the Earth or those in it are being discussed, Satan can stand in Heaven accusing those operating within his dominion (believers)
Jesus gave his bride authority to bind ‘principalities and powers’ on this Earth, (though how many and how often believers claim this authority is questionable) notwithstanding, Satan has legitimate authority on this physical Earth until the time of the end, and (I believe) until three very specific conditions are met and then violated by the nations under Satan’s influence,
1 – a – Israel restored, b – Jerusalem restored, together providing the two conditions in Daniel Chapter 9 to count the time (determined) 70 weeks or 490 years. 434 years were counted at the cross, 49 years were accepted by Jesus but rejected by Israel and instead brought the Gospel to us, it (and he) is the Jubilee, leaving 49 years (a Jubilee) and then the final seven years remaining which (today) we all hear so much about called ‘the tribulation’ (434 + 49 + 7 = 490 years)
2 – A Jubilee is acknowledged in Heaven following the conditions being met, (that is) met precisely per Leviticus Chapter 25: “when you come into the land that I shall give you.. “ then count seven times seven years (49 years) and only our Father in Heaven can know when this is acceptable,
3 – The Everlasting Covenant is broken, hindered, encumbered in some manner between this world and a restored Israel via an agreement, that is, Israel is divided, Jerusalem is divided or both, the restoration is being undone, Satan is seeking to change the times and seasons, to extend his ownership outside the limiting Holy mechanisms of the Laws and Ordinances enacted on the Earth, the very Laws which provided for the coming of the Messiah and the punitive measures of the transgression, and then the second restoration itself,
Its the attempted undoing of that authority, the breaking of the ‘Everlasting Covenant’ (Isaiah Chapter 24) that brings the time of the end, this is what Jesus called the ‘Great Tribulation’ and it comes (I believe) as whats being adjudicated beginning in Revelation Chapter 4, where the “court will sit” (see also Daniel Chapter 7) and where Jesus takes the scroll (title deed) from the right hand of the Father. Jesus assumes ownership over the Earth, as a man, fulfilling the Kinsman Redeemer provisions under the law.
Jesus as the second Adam, returning bodily when the fullness of time is reached (a Jubilee) coming again as the only one able to redeem from the rightful owner (God) the whole of creation, granted under the Law as a Kinsman of Adam (a man) see the Book of Ruth, Jesus is our Boaz, the Church is Ruth and Noami is Israel,
Jesus is taking authority using the very Laws and Ordinances which were implemented upon the physical Earth which allowed him to come in a Holy manner (in the flesh) then be rejected by Israel (flesh), that purchased the gentiles into the Kingdom of Heaven (Spirit) and then ultimately providing the same mechanism to redeem the physical creation during the restoration of all things, (the Jubilee)
Peter speaks of Jesus:
“Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.” Acts 3:21 (a Jubilee)
“For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.” Isaiah 63:4 (a Jubilee)
Satan has access to Heaven until he attempts to break that restoration, which is tied to the physical land as much as it is to the people (Israel) following the (second) restoration under the very same Law that took them away as with a flood in 70 AD,
Israel at the time of the end will make a covenant with death, Satan is a liar and usurper, the Great Tribulation begins on the Earth soon after,
“And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; . .” Isaiah 28:18
At this time the war in Heaven begins and Satan is thrown out (forever) by the Archangel Michael,
“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceive the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
“And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ:
“for the accuser of our brethren is cast down,
“which accused them before our God day and night.
“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” Revelation 12:7-12
For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled. Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
Psalm 90:7-9
“And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: . . ” Daniel 9:26
62 weeks, 434 years,
It is commonly conjectured by most when outlining Daniels 70 weeks, that 69 of those weeks (or 483 years) were fulfilled at the cross, leaving only the the final 70th week (7 years or 2520 days) to complete the 490 years determined upon Israel (see Daniel Chapter 9) where the count begins with the fulfillment of two very specific conditions:
1. upon Israel (thy people) and 2. upon Jerusalem (thy Holy city)
For which that future week of years is waiting only for some unknowable moment before it can continue, waiting as if the interval in between has been stopped or halted in some manner, and so today we have 2000 years unaccounted,
From my earliest understandings, I’ve found the idea of the prophetic ‘clock’ being stopped to be wrong. And after numbering the days (per Psalm 90) and considering the ‘times and seasons’ and counting the intervals between significant related events: the Babylonian captivity, the first Temple desolation in 587 BC, the first restoration of Israel, the decrees of Cyrus and Artaxerxes which started the 490 year count outlined in Daniel Chapter 9, to the coming of the Messiah officially in 32 AD, then to the Cross, the Resurrection, Pentecost in 32 AD, the second Temple desolation in August of 70 AD, the second restoration of Israel (thy people) in May 1948, and finally the second restoration of Jerusalem (thy Holy city) in June of 1967 – where both conditions to count are now met for the second time.
I (to my own satisfaction at least) perceive a structure to conjecture that it did not stop, that is to say, the prophetic age, the biblical accounting for time never ceased to move forward, instead it changed, as wheels within wheels, shifting from an accounting in the flesh for Israel, beginning immediately when the two conditions were applied the first time (March 14th, 444 BC) and then continuing to the arrival of the Messiah (precisely as promised on April 6th, 32 AD) where Israel chose to reject their promised visitation, to the ‘times of the gentiles,’ coinciding with the Kingdom of God, the spirit, where the Church beginning at Pentecost resides today (and forever) and where a thousand years is as one day, and where we (the Church) pray, ‘thy kingdom come’ to be done on the Earth (in us, in this Earth, our bodies) until his authority, having been granted in the spirit under the provisions of the Law which Israel rejected, is acknowledged by Israel on the Earth (flesh) and finally completed fulfilling the Law and the Prophets after their (Israel’s) diaspora for the transgression,
” But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” 2 Peter 3:8
The consideration of Psalm 90, which Peter is also quoting above, is that we could ‘number our days’ and then what we may come to understand, knowing that God promises to do nothing unless it is told to us in advance, the mysteries Jesus himself revealed in the Kingdom parables and where Paul tells us that he was given the unique honor to reveal the most profound mystery of all, the coming of the Church, being his body on the Earth, in his Spirit, while we being sons of Adam on the Earth, he made us as he is, not under the Law, rather we are his virgin bride being grafted in by grace under the very provisions Israel rejected, betrothed to the coming King, and he is now our High Priest making intercession,
The Church has been granted authority above all ‘principalities and power’s’ on the Earth, but these same spirits also have their authority granted to them over the flesh, the Earth, willingly granted to them by its current legal owner (Adam and his descendents) until all of the provisions accounting for the Jubilee redemption and the time of the transgressors are fully met, and then finally to be completed upon the only people (Israel) singled out by the faith of their ancestors to provide the means to accomplish in the flesh what was impossible for men. Don’t be harsh too on Israel, as our (gentile) ancestors never had the necessary faith to be given the promise to even attempt the enacting of such conditions upon the Earth, that is, to provide the means (even through transgression) to allow God the opportunity within a fallen creation to ultimately redeem us all,
God will act directly on the Earth as outlined at the time of the end. Coming with anger and wrath, why? because as we’re shown, Satan violates the Law, causing those on the Earth to break the Everlasting Covenant, which God has steadfastly required to be maintained allowing for his Holiness to redeem all of the physical creation. The Covenant that is broken and his wrath being poured out is not upon believers, the Church is forever covered under the fulfillment of the Jubilee release of the Gospel, the new Covenant (testament) which Jesus made ‘with the many’ when he took that cup and drank and the coming of the Kingdom of God being preached only after the work of the old Covenant with John the Baptist. He came not to do away with the Law, but to fulfill it,
“Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” Matthew 11:11
“For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” Matthew 26:28
“And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” Daniel 9:27
It is not Antichrist, it is the spirit of Antichrist which caused this event, Messiah was cutoff (in the midst of the week) in the middle of a week of days, on a Wednesday of a much larger timeline but also on a Wednesday of a weekday (April 9th, 32 AD) but not for himself, and for that reason, because Israel did not know the time of their visitation their house was left desolate just as Jesus foretold. Jerusalem and the Temple of stone were destroyed in August of 70 AD and not one stone was left upon another, all were cast down to the ground. The Temple was made flesh and ‘the sacrifice and the oblation’, ‘the First and the Last’, ‘the Alpha and the Omega’ were fully come with the sacrifice on the Cross. What remains now is for the transgressors to come to their full, that is for Israel to be restored, then Satan, for this reason knowing he has only a short time, will seek to change the ‘Times and Seasons’ to prevent the fulfilling of Gods Ordinances upon the Earth,
Is it the Flesh or the Spirit that matters here? Josephus records that Titus Vespasian with the 5th, 10th, 12th and 15th Roman Legions destroyed the city and the Sanctuary on August 10th, 11th and 12th of 70 AD, so prophecy scholars presume much from this physical act, but who does Jesus tell us is actually responsible for this desolation:
“And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.” Luke 19:44
“And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?” Luke 23:27-30
At the time of the end, when the transgressors are come to the full, (that is, Israel, the only ones operating under the promise who could have transgressed, and who were prophesied to do so, warned of the penalty and restitution, when they reach the fullness of time, to accomplish as it is written ‘to scatter the power of the holy people’ (as recorded in Daniel Chapter 11) Satan will in some way encumber the flesh (Israel) and the physical Earth by dividing the restored Israel with an agreement, breaking the Everlasting Covenant (Isaiah calls it a covenant with Death) which he (Satan) intends to change the provisions under the Law that God has been faithfully maintaining, and for which even provides that he continue to be acknowledged to stand in Heaven to accuse believers because they operate within his allowed dominion,
Jesus is now sitting at the right hand of the Father, on his Fathers throne, as a man, the seed of a woman, and it is this division of the restoration that comes fulfilling the penalty of the transgression, it is why the wrath of God is poured out on the Earth, its how and why the end comes when it comes.
Satan understands these provisions, he understands they are almost complete and the ‘times and seasons’ of God under a Holy Law fully enacted upon the Earth will mean his lawful end, this is why he breaks the Covenant and this is why he is thrown out of Heaven by the Archangel Michael. The gentiles have their time, and Israel has their time, and now they have a day to complete as the transgressors, and once they complete that accounting and are returned to their Land (as they have since 1967) what will follow is the veil is then lifted, they will then recognize their Messiah, they will perceive the Abomination of Desolation spoken of by Daniel, that is they will ‘understand’ and then the believing remnant that now perceives the truth, understand they have full legal authority on the Earth to call for the return of Messiah, and this is why Satan will embark on his most desperate attempt to destroy the power of the holy people (Israel) as prophesied for the time of the end, beginning what Jesus called ‘the Great Tribulation’ and for which the book of Revelation tells us is so grievous that it will only last 1260 days on the Earth and it will be in some manner ‘cut short’ or no flesh would remain alive,
“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.” Psalm 2:1-8
“The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.” Psalm 110:1
“And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.” Zechariah 12:10
“Look, he is coming with the clouds,” and “every eye will see him, even those who pierced him”; and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.” So shall it be! Amen.” Revelation 1:7
The Messiah will sit on his own throne, the throne of David, as a man forever, where it is with the receiving of this authority on the Earth being shown to us in the book of Revelation beginning at Chapter 4 and continuing until the the physical return (bodily) to the Earth in Chapter 19. Jesus is now coming in his own power and authority, as lightning shining from the east to west, with the clouds of Heaven (believers) and every eye will see him and every knee will bow. Satan’s authority is being thrown down by the sword of his mouth,(by the word itself) by the Law, as truth and Holiness that cannot be denied, with everlasting righteousness being established on the Earth,
“For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.” Matthew 23:39
And if you know this, then the time accounted for under the Law with the conditions being met whereby the court sits in Heaven will begin to become visible, we need those two conditions to be met, and then we need a Jubilee distance, under the Law, requiring 49 years, and then to be acknowledged in Heaven as ‘the acceptable year of the Lord’
If it is as conjectured here, 62 instead of 69 weeks having passed, with seven years only remaining, and that Israel instead has seven weeks (49 years – a Jubilee distance) and then one week (7 years) or 56 years total from the Cross remaining, meaning that we don’t have a short time frame (2520 days) to come upon believers suddenly, instead we have an entire generation to see these prophesied events coming to their full, occurring in the lifespan of those conscious of the division between flesh and spirit and with understanding of where the Laws and Ordinances apply, not to the Church, but to the Earth, the flesh, to Israel, who rejected the fulfillment of them and went into the long years of penalty until the transgression was accounted for under the same provisions which brought them the flood. They erred in not knowing the timing, and as we’re told we would see that day approaching, just as Israel should have seen that day and even later the accounting to what followed in 70 AD when the end did come ‘like a flood’ upon the transgressors, and then at the time of the end, a final week will come, for the world instead of for Israel alone, to be poured out in wrath. The Great Tribulation, culminating with the Bowl judgements and his return as King of Kings and Lord of Lords,
The remnant will understand with the work on the earth of the 144,000 sealed out of every tribe, the Church is now away with the harvest (Barley harvest – first fruits, Jesus being the first-fruits of them that slept) then the wheat harvest where the chaff is separated and lastly the grape harvest at the very end, where the returning Messiah, with the Jubilee, the year of his redeemed has now come, where he will tread the wine press of the wrath of God alone,
“Why is Your apparel red,
And Your garments like one who treads in the winepress?
“I have trodden the winepress alone,
And from the peoples no one was with Me.
For I have trodden them in My anger,
And trampled them in My fury;
Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments,
And I have stained all My robes.
For the day of vengeance is in My heart,
And the year of My redeemed has come. ” Isaiah 63:2-4
in Revelation when the Angels hold the wind from the four corners, its as the winnowing of the wheat harvest, they’re holding until the 144,000 are sealed and ready, it brings to consideration the same way in which wheat was placed on a sheet and tossed into the wind to separate it from the chaff,
“Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD’S anger come upon you.” Zephaniah 2:2
We meet the Lord in the air, I conjecture this is simply because he has no authority on the Earth (just yet) which tells us something about the timing of this event, it occurs before, or coincides with the opening of the seals, where he has just been acknowledged by the Court (the 24 elders) sitting before the throne, establishing his legal authority over all of creation, having met the strict conditions for the kinsman redeemer provisions under the Law enacted upon the Earth,
“Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’S anger.” Zephaniah 2:3
The appearance becomes, the accounting for time went from the flesh, accounting for Israel, to the spirit, being the Kingdom of Heaven, where it flows in Gods dispensation of ages very differently than it does for those ‘dwelling’ on the Earth, as those without understanding are referenced in the book of Revelation, Earth dwellers.
“The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.” Psalm 110:2-7
