Tribulation | 2520days

because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation

What is Satan doing?

Doesn’t he know he’s already lost? Is he just so inexplicably evil and the world then waxes worse and worse under his influence until God finally puts an end to him with some cataclysmic unknowable return to the Earth?

Well I say both yes and no, it wont come as a complete surprise except to those the book of Revelation calls earth dwellers. Those where everything they know, understand and desire is right here and now in their physical existence, the spirit is a mystery to them and there is no understanding or light in their eyes,

However what Satan is attempting to do is not as simple as being evil for its own sake, its what we’re being shown in greater detail in the books of Daniel and Revelation (and in the Psalms, Isaiah and Zephaniah and elsewhere)

The Laws and Ordinances of Moses are the legal mechanisms governing this physical Earth which Satan must adhere and is bound by for his present authority, and do not misunderstand, this is not for the Church, we are not under the Law of Moses, the Church is not a part of that end which is coming upon all flesh after the transgressors have come to the full and the time given to the Gentiles is complete.

Jesus came to fulfill the Law, not do away with it,

“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” Matthew 5:17

“And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: . . .” Daniel 9:26

After 62 sevens, 434 years,

Jesus was cutoff so that you and I could be purchased into the Kingdom of God (in Heaven) born into the spirit and brought out of this fallen world, not to the throne of David over the Earth, this is still his inheritance and it was stolen from him. Jesus was left with nothing in the flesh, even his clothes were taken from him when he hung on the cross,

But for Israel in 32 AD, that generation did not pass away by any means, they paid for it with their blood and with the desolation of the city and Temple August 10-12th 70 AD, which took place precisely 14,000 days after April 13th, 32 AD . The very same distance in time they wandered about in the wilderness under Moses.

“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

The Church is not Israel and has not replaced Israel on this Earth. The Church is in a very special place, elevated and set on a pedestal. Paul understood this and was amazed at what the Church had been given and understood its purpose and destiny alongside Christ as his bride.

Those that believe the Church is now Israel are the same ones that Jesus refers to in Revelation Chapter 3 as those that ‘say they are Jews and are not’ unfortunately this heresy (replacement theology) has been prevalent for a long time as the default heritage of many mainstream denominations and the source of much antisemitism.

So what is Satan really doing? Is he trying to rule the Earth? He already rules over it. Is he hard at work trying to install a puppet called the antichrist? He already has all the nations and kingdoms of the Earth and antichrist (as a spirit) is already at work in the world. What purpose is served by installing someone or some (thing) over them all,

But there is more to what he thinks he can do legally, he will make a covenant with the transgressors, (that would first have to be ‘brought back from the sword’ by God) this is where his ‘Man of Sin’ enters, for Israel to choose his ‘Son of Perdition’ over their Messiah for their peace and security. They must first be restored (by God as promised) then Israel will have (at that time) come to their full. This false ‘covenant’ will have the net effect of attempting to change the set times and seasons that both provide for and limit Satan’s authority and activity, it brings his end and ultimately his torment (after 1000 years)

When that mechanism is broken, could those same limits holding things in check also be removed or undone? I believe this is when the Earth will be ‘cursed with a curse’ as were shown in Isaiah Chapter 24. Bad things that had in the past always seemed to be dispelled or dispersed before they became global: epidemics, weather patterns, economic upheavals, crop failures, famines etc., before some terrible calamity should impact the entire world at once, that binding will now be loosed. I believe this is what we’re seeing when we see the Seven Seals being ‘loosed’ in the book of Revelation.

This is about a future Jubilee coming to the restored land and the world attempting to undo that restoration under the influence of Satan.

“I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.” Hosea 5:15

God is Holy and will always act in a manner that is Holy. God is a covenant keeping God, he makes and keeps covenants. God cannot be unholy. Satan understands this far better than most of us and it has been an advantage to his activity and influence over the Earth, that is, always knowing how your opponent will react to certain criteria, but Satan is no equal opposition to the work of God, hardly. Satan does not know the future or what the spirit will do or what the Spirit speaks to the Churches or to us individually in dreams and visions (as we’re told by the Prophet Joel would come) and this has been going on since the very first Pentecost (which came 10 days after Jesus ascended to Heaven and sat down next to the Father)

Nothing has changed since that time, since 32 AD in the Spirit, or 70 AD in the flesh when Israel was given space to understand,

So what IS going to change and when?

Those areas which are not written as a legal document and given expressly by the Spirit, Satan cannot understand. Those areas in the bible written by the inspiration of the Spirit which require the Holy Spirit to unseal, to unveil, to make connections to reassemble, which are about to become known. Its how Jesus told Peter, ‘flesh and blood has not revealed this to you’

Satan rules over this world, over entire regions and nations and whole empires, he rules them with his ‘principalities and powers.’ Jesus showed us that Satan’s kingdom is not divided despite the appearance from the outside that it is, where it has been a grinding down, a historical wasteland of centuries of wars and political intrigue and nation against nation seeking temporal power.

Satan is attempting to retain the Earth over the limiting mechanism of the Holy Laws and ordinances which have a specific conditional timing element outlined within, of which will resolve with a Jubilee restoration by returning ownership to God in both a legal and Holy manner. God will then begin the proceedings, the court ‘will sit’ as we’re shown in Revelation Chapters 4, 5 and 6 and Daniel Chapter 7. The court is in session to adjudicate the legal earthly (human) ownership from Adam back to God and then who? or which person? can now meet the conditions to restore and redeem as a near Kinsman of Adam? or it must be cast away, being unregenerate, as dead and to be destroyed? Only Jesus can qualify, this is why he referred to himself repeatedly as the ‘Son of Man’ as it has to be a man, a descendant of Adam, our new Adam, who will not falter and cannot fail, and with the full knowledge that he would be rejected and cutoff from this physical Earth and that only he alone would be eligible when that future court date came due,

The Church sits today with Jesus at the right hand of the Father, rejected out of this world and cutoff with nothing in the flesh, (until)

Those of us alive (now) are operating with his Spirit, the Holy Spirit is hindering the full operation of evil in a world given over legally to Satan until a set time and a very specific set of circumstances are met and fulfilled on the Earth. This is why Satan can stand in Heaven today and accuse the brethren (legally) we are operating and interfering in his sphere of power, we are sons and daughters of Adam, alive in the flesh, yet reborn with the Spirit that interfaces directly with the very one who created and ultimately owns all when the fullness of the transgressors timing is reached, bypassing Satan’s understanding and knowledge. And that direct interface, with the physical manifestations which can sometimes occur via extreme acts of faith, Satan can and does object too,

This will continue as we’re shown in Daniel Chapter 9, (until) the ‘transgressors are come to the full’ the transgressors of the Law were always that sole nation on this Earth that could transgress, the only one to which it was given, Israel, and they have and are paying for it as prophesied,

“And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.“ Luke 21:24

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;” 2 Thessalonians 2:3

God restored Israel in 1948 and then restored Jerusalem (Judea and Samaria) in 1967 and we know from scripture that at some future point this world will undo that restoration for some supposed ‘peace’ agreement,

Isaiah 28 calls it a ‘covenant with death’

At the time of the end, we’re told that Jerusalem will become a ‘burdensome stone’ bringing destruction ‘upon them all’ that is, upon ALL nations that choose to involve themselves impeding Gods restoration work,

This world, the United Nations, all the nations of the Earth and with unclean spirits inhabiting its leaders ruling over these nations, will all be of one mind to divide the land, to separate the restoration that is presently bringing the transgressors (Israel) to the full, which will allow the Messiah, the Holy one of Israel to legally reclaim his rightful inheritance under the Jubilee restoration of all things, this is why he returns as the ‘vengeance of the Temple.’ Jesus is the Temple made flesh and rejected, the title-deed has been restored but the world is trying to impugn and encumber it away from its rightful, lawful and legal owner who has paid much and suffered much providing for its restoration and for the restoration of all things which includes all those that belong to him.

Satan has authority on this physical Earth until the time of the end, and (I believe) until three conditions are met and broken:

1, Israel as a people are restored to the land and then Jerusalem as a city is restored, (which appears to be with the same distance in timing, 19 years apart as they were taken away from Israel in 606 and 587 BC with the three sieges of Nebuchadnezzar) together providing the two conditions required in Daniel Chapter 9 to count the time determined at 70 weeks, the 490 years. 434 years were counted at the cross, ‘after 62 weeks shall Messiah be cutoff’ 49 years were accepted by Jesus but rejected by Israel and instead brought the Gospel to the gentiles, the Gospel is the Jubilee and thus allowing for another 49 years (a Jubilee) for Israel and Jerusalem. The promises are tied to the physical land as well as to David, and then the final seven years remaining which most of us are aware of called the tribulation with the last half (3.5 years) being what Jesus himself called the ‘great tribulation’

2, a Jubilee is acknowledged in Heaven following the legal conditions being met precisely per Leviticus Chapter 25: ‘when you come into the land that I shall give you..’ then count seven times seven years (even 49 years) and only God can know when his conditional timing is acceptable, but we can know that it must occur on a future Yom Kipper (10th day of the seventh month) and only after all of the conditions have been met,

3, The covenant is broken, hindered, encumbered in some manner between this world and a restored Israel via some manner of agreement, this is what I believe we’re witnessing approaching today as being pushed for in world affairs, Israel is divided, Jerusalem is divided or both, the restoration is being undone, Satan is seeking to change the set times and seasons provided by God, to extend his ownership outside of the limiting Holy mechanisms of the Laws and Ordinances enacted on the Earth, the very ones which provided for the coming of the Messiah to this fallen Earth to redeem us and which also provided the punitive measures enacted against the transgressors of the Law (Israel of 32 AD) and then finally bringing the second restoration here since June 7th 1967, these are all interconnected events despite being thousands of years separated in time, this is why it will mean the end of Satan’s authority if he does not hinder or stop this prophesied process from coming to its completion.

It is my belief, that it is the attempted undoing of that authority on the Earth, the breaking of the ‘Everlasting Covenant’ (Isaiah Chapter 24) that brings the time of the end,

I believe this is the very event that is being adjudicated in Heaven beginning in Revelation Chapter 4, where the “court will sit” (see Daniel Chapter 7) and where Jesus takes the scroll, the title-deed to the Earth from the right hand of the Father. He then assumes legal ownership over the physical Earth (all of Creation) for which the world rejected him and faced eternal night, were it not for these Holy Laws established by God to overturn and to govern the creation, providing a way back from death when there was no way.

Today Jesus sits at the right hand side of the father, until he makes the nations of this world his footstool. This is shown to us in Psalm 2. And this is whats happening at the time of the end, at the close of the age.

Jesus is being given the Earth legally in the flesh, and Satan is attempting to hinder that judgement by seeing to it that the mechanisms (in the flesh, with a restored Israel) are encumbered, impugned or broken by a separate agreement with his authority as presently empowered legally over the greater part of the Earth,

I have overcome the world

“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

After these things

The Feast Days are appointments for a future time when they are no longer rehearsals (Moeds) and shadows of things to come, but are being fulfilled and giving life to a fallen creation, a dying Earth and what they represent and what is yet to occur on them, this conjecture is what occurs to me when reading just the first Seven chapters of the Book of Revelation,

Chapter 1 – Introduction and Church
Chapter 2 – Church
Chapter 3 – Church

“After these things” (after the church)

Then the narrative turns very much back to Israel in the use of idioms starting from Chapters 4 until 19 when the Church finally does reappear, but she now shows up riding in very good company.

Daniels 70th week is not about the Church, it’s about the completion of Gods work and promises made to David and Israel and counting from a set time from two specific requirements clearly outlined in Daniel Chapter 9 as being upon ‘Thy people’ Israel and ‘Thy holy city’ Jerusalem.

Chapter 4 – Feast of Trumpets – references to a trumpet, a loud voice like a trumpet, a door being opened, and as Jesus Ascended 10 days before Pentecost in 32 AD, the Feast of Trumpets is 10 days before Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. John is being told to ‘come up here.’

Chapter 5 – Yom Kippur – the judgment is set, the court is in session, on the day of Atonement the books are opened, God has a book in his right hand and who can take it and open it? No one is worthy or even able to look at whats written in the book, time is now over for the Earth and everything living on it, (but wait) this is a future Jubilee, the time of the restitution of all things, legally it requires that it must be declared on the 10th day of the Seventh month following the 49 years per the criteria being met from Leviticus Chapter 25. Overlay this framework (of the Law) with the requirements from (the Prophet) Daniel Chapter 9 to count the 70 weeks of years and they can, if God permits, coincide precisely.

Chapter 6 – The book is taken and opened, and by the only one found eligible to do so, Jesus is our Kinsman Redeemer, our Boaz, the seals are now being opened and events are now being loosed upon the Earth by this legal action, this cannot be turned back or undone once it’s started, it had been restrained until this very moment.

Chapter 7 – Feast of Tabernacles – the multitude appears in Heaven, they are wearing robes and carrying palm branches and it is one of the three feasts, the other two being in the Spring, (Unleavened Bread) and in Summer, (Pentecost) that required any able-bodied person to appear in person. In the millennium the gentiles will be required to appear in Jerusalem to celebrate it, which is interesting as here they are now in this chapter, everyone is showing up, coming out of tribulation, but events are just getting started on the Earth, you don’t want to be counted with the Earth dwellers after this point,

for all flesh is as grass

“But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.“ 1 Thessalonians 5:1-4

It’s conjectured by most prophecy watchers when outlining Daniels 70 weeks prophecy, that 69 of those weeks (or 483 years) were fulfilled at the cross, leaving only the final 70th week (7 years or 2520 days) to complete the 490 years determined for which a future ‘week’ of years is waiting only for some unknowable moment before it can rapidly proceed to its conclusion. Waiting as if the interval in between somehow has been stopped or halted in some ambiguous manner, and so today we have 2000 years passed by with this accounting of time being ‘paused’ or stopped on the prophetic time clock. From my earliest understandings I’ve found this idea to be incorrect.

After numbering the days and considering the times and seasons and counting the intervals between significant biblical events, I (to my own satisfaction) perceive a structure as evidence to conjecture that it did not stop, the biblical accounting for time never ceased, instead it changed, as wheels within wheels, shifting from one accounting to the other, being first from the flesh where Israel chose to reject their promised Messiah, then seamlessly shifting to the spirit where the Church resides today (and forever) and where “a thousand years [is] as one day” and where it is as Peter quotes from Psalm 90:

“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” 2 Peter 3:8

Further that we should “number our days” as Psalm 90 tells us for understanding and then what may come to our understandings as God promises to do nothing unless he has revealed it in advance, just as we have the mysteries Jesus revealed to us in the parables,

“I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.” Psalm 49:4

“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

If it should be as conjectured here, that instead of seven years remaining of the 490 years determined, that Israel instead has fifty-six years remaining from the cross to complete the seventy-sevens, meaning that we don’t have merely a short time frame ( 7 years or 2520 days) to come upon us suddenly, instead we have an entire generation to see prophesies and events coming (as foretold) to reach their full, and as we’re told we would see that day approaching, just as Israel should have seen that day coming as they were given (from Daniel Chapter 9) the very day to watch for the coming of their promised Messiah, their Prince, and they should have known and even later counting to what followed to 70 AD when the end did come for Israel, it came upon the fulness of that same generation that legally rejected the Messiah in 32 AD. And therefore at the time of the end, the final week will come, and it is now for the world instead of Israel alone, the transgressors have now come to their full, the Gentiles have enjoyed the authority surrendered to Satan and it will soon be time to witness that same usurped authority, this world system, deceived and in error as to the fullness of their own authority and withstanding the restoration by God of the transgressors now having been brought in both times like a flood, when this world, because of this action, will then face its judgement and it will be the final work before the restitution of all things,

From Gods perspective he tells us that for those appointed to him, its now time for the harvest,

In Revelation Chapter 7 when the Angels hold the wind from the four corners, north, south, east and west, it’s as the winnowing of the wheat harvest, they are holding until the 144,000 are sealed and ready to begin their work, the same way in which wheat was put on a sheet and tossed up into the wind to separate it from the chaff,

The remnant will understand and begin their work on the Earth with the 144,000 sealed out of every tribe, first the barley harvest (first fruits), then the wheat harvest and last the grape harvest at the end with the blood being splattered to the horses bridle for 1600 furlongs, roughly the distance from Megiddo to the sheepfold in Edom, Bozrah,

“Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.” Isaiah 63:1

Where is the Church? Paul tells us that we meet the lord in the air, I conjecture this is simply because Jesus still has no physical authority on the Earth just yet, being rejected and sitting today at the right hand of the Father, the Vineyard, the Earth having been stolen from him, which tells us something about the timing of this event, it occurs prior to (or coincides with) the opening of the seven sealed book in Revelation Chapters 4, 5 and 6, but as being adjudicated by the court (24 elders) sitting in Heaven, acknowledging his claimant right of the near kinsman redeemer Jubilee and now having a fully established legal authority over all of the physical creation as earlier had been provided to Adam,

“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

“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 2:7-8

Time went from the flesh, as an accounting for Israel, to the spirit, the Church, where it flows in Gods order of the ages very differently that is does for us on the Earth, we are like the grass,

“For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.” 1 Peter 1:24-25

Our perspective is very limited, very small in the greater accountability that God has before all that live or whoever will live on the Earth,

Considering the ‘times and seasons’ requires more than a casual interest, and while the sacrifice on the cross is open to be understood by all for which any can be brought in if the spirit draws them in, the thief on the cross showed us just how quickly and easily his grace can be found, and yet because it is readily available it’s too often set aside for a more convenient moment, or dismissed for another day or a better time or worse still, mistook as being served with the religions of vain men preaching onerous guilt burdens, there is nothing you can do to add to the salvation by grace, because it is his grace, not yours,

Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain

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

the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times

Everything that brings about the end will revolve around the division of what was restored to Israel beginning in 1948 and then with Jerusalem restored in 1967. Which is leading to the Jubilee restoration of the transgressors (Israel) ‘coming to the full’ and of which there is a precise and conditional timing mechanism at work here,

“Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.“ Daniel 9:25

This is how and why the end comes when it does come, everything else is secondary. Jesus told us there would be wars and rumors of war (World War 1, World War 2 and rumored World War 3 “but the end is not yet”) but also there would be miry conflicts of kingdom against kingdom and nation against nation at the time of the end,

“But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.” Luke 21:9

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Matthew 24:6

And that single momentous event which brought about (directly) the end of World War 2, a war which had come as a consequence surrounding events from World War 1, and then with that same closing of that conflict which in turn by itself created the very rumors of World War 3 (even ‘Armageddon’ in our common use)

President Harry Truman, the very man to order its use, after viewing the Trinity test film from the New Mexico desert recognized the prophetic significance of what it could mean for the future,

“We have discovered the most terrible bomb in the history of the world. It may be the fire destruction prophesied in the Euphrates Valley Era, after Noah and his fabulous Ark.” Harry S. Truman, Diary July 25th, 1945

The statement from the White House informing the world that an atomic weapon had just been detonated in Japan parallels Jesus’ language about being near but not immediately at the close of the age:

“And the end is not yet. With this bomb we have now added a new and revolutionary increase in destruction to supplement the growing power of our armed forces.” President Harry S. Truman, Statement by the President of the United States, August 6, 1945

August 6, 1945 |———25200 days (70 years)——>| August 4th, 2014 (9th day of AV)

While I believe this is also a future event, I believe it parallels or repeats the time when peace was taken from the entire Earth, during the great wars of the 20th century, including culminating with a great weapon being ‘given’

“And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.” Revelation 6:4

The restoration of Israel (I believe) is leading up to a Jubilee restoration that God will acknowledge in Heaven and as we’re shown in Daniel Chapter 7 and Revelation Chapters 4, 5 and 6 with the Court (24 Elders) going into session and the Kinsman Redeemer provisions (see the book of Ruth) being enacted with only Jesus being legally able (and willing as he does not have to do this for us) to meet these precise conditions to restore everything (and everyone) in this fallen creation. The Earth is his inheritance and it was stolen from him and he was cutoff with nothing. (see Isaiah Chapter 5 and Luke Chapter 20 for the parable of the wicked tenants and the vineyard)

“Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.

And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.

What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?

And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down: And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry. “ Isaiah Chapter 5:1-7

“Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’ But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.” Luke 20:13-15

Because it will mean his end, Satan is attempting to prevent the restoration of the Earth via the Laws and Ordinances enacted on the transgressors (Israel) for a set time, that is, Satan is attempting to prevent them from coming into effect as per the Law and scripture by A) breaking it by separating the restoration with a false agreement or B) by placing a wall around it so that it can be encumbered by agreement and that it does not go out in the jubilee release per the strict requirements that must be met as outlined in Leviticus Chapter 25. I believe this is also why we’re shown that Jerusalem must be handed over in Revelation Chapter 11,

“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.” Revelation 11:1-2

“And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years. Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed. For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field. In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.” Leviticus 25:8-13

I think its this deceit for a false ‘peace and safety’ that is the very ‘covenant with death’ Isaiah tells us about, and that it comes following when Israel agrees to divide the restoration (undoing what God had given them and for which no power on Earth could take by force) and the result is that it brings the war in Heaven (as we’re shown in Revelation Chapter 12) with Satan being cast out to the Earth, and then comes the great tribulation, the time of ‘Jacobs trouble’ following immediately after this pivotal event,

Do an online web search for “Israel and the wall” and see pictures of it for yourself, over 400 miles have already been completed. Satan is the great deceiver and working both sides to his same end, he is being held back today only by the power of the Holy Spirit at work in the Earth (in this Earth, in you and I) and we’re told straightway that he will ‘no longer restrain’ at some future time, and if you think about it with the above conjectures in mind, you can begin to see why this must be so,

“And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it. And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile. But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile.” Leviticus 25:29-31

I will declare the decree

“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

see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!

Counting from the mid-point of a 7000 year (week) pattern:

|Sunday|Monday|Tuesday|Wednesday|Thursday|Friday|Saturday|

April 6th, 32 AD is exactly 17 years, or 6120 days (x360) to Wednesday on a 7000 year/week pattern, or being day 1,440,000 coming to January 6th 49 AD, leaving 7000 days and then 888 more days to the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple just as Jesus described:

“And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” Mark 13:1-2

that they should believe a lie

Recently there was an article on a popular website referencing a student about to graduate from a prominent Jesuit college, and he outlines how he was now an atheist mainly due to his religious studies curriculum,

From his brief description it was reasonably obvious he had never believed anything, rather he merely accepted what he was told all his life without question and then the first time he had to actually consider, God didn’t immediately conform to what the politically correct all-wise television mainstream media culture had molded into his psyche while he was growing up.

If it were only colleges producing these results, however many mainstream denominations create listless believers by being nothing more than ‘good works’ social clubs. While all of us have a spirit, these are asleep, neither have they received nor have they any knowledge beyond their natural existence. They worship the creature rather than the creator and they believe the lie,

“And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12

Its always arrogance that blinds (any of) us from coming to a greater understanding, seeing only in the flesh while attempting to step above where everything around us relating to sin has become normalized. The student author presented a smug ‘was blind and now he sees ‘ self promoting egotistical enlightenment. How could anyone within that environment ever hope to see with the spirit. Many today have little to fall back on, if they had never wondered themselves enough to seek the truth , never heard it from their parents or grandparents and relying on secular instruction alone , they will never find a witness or firm ground to stand, only the reverse,

“And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.” Mark 4:5-6

“For ever, O LORD, your word is settled in heaven.” Psalm 119:89

Satan knows the overall plan of redemption from what has been established in heaven, however he doesn’t know the details or exactly when but he does know enough to lay down a minefield in advance with doctrines and seducing spirits ruling over entire nations and peoples to set things off course, to empower cults and personalities, to lead many from the truth even before the whole truth is presented, he knows enough to counterfeit many things from the throne room itself, from the design in ancient Egyptian and Babylonian Temples, to Mithra cults, to the very plan of redemption outlined in the Heavens and established before the world was made, and to do it long before the fulness of time within the holy laws and ordinances were established on the Earth as a faith witness. A witness empowering us toward that day when he would take it all upon himself to set its foundation in stone, and with us being met by the legitimate creator, our maker, the true King of Righteousness coming with the plan fully implemented in our time, which is always now.

“The stone which the builders rejected has become the head stone of the corner. This is the LORD’S doing; it is marvelous in our eyes” Psalm 118:22-23

“Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation: he that believes shall not be in haste.” Isaiah 28:16

Nowhere in the Word does it argue for itself that God exists, its a given, we’re told that we should believe from the things that are:

“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: “ Romans 1:20

This is a spiritual deception, being blinded, seeing only in the flesh, the natural world, its nothing unique to our time,

I had a similar conversation several months back with a relative, it was about an online video of an atheist addressing the members of a church, apparently the misguided pastor brought him in as part of ‘understanding’ of divergent beliefs. Jesus said, let the dead bury the dead.

I said before we watched the presentation together, I suspect we’ll see certain lines he will not or cannot cross, these will be out of bounds, despite the supposed mutual tone of ‘tolerance’ however everything else will generally be just fine, anything anti-christ is also fine,

Not unlike mainstream cults, atheists don’t want to hear about certain things,

Do not tell them Jesus, the Son of the living God, has come in the flesh,
Do not quote scripture,
Do not tell them about end time events or prophecy, that is, don’t bring up what is occurring right now in current events as having been foretold in scripture, they will not hear it,

He was very well spoken, articulate, presented his case with all manner of worldly wisdom, easily made the pastor look foolish, but it was surprising how closely he evidenced these three items, and when he did you could see his entire demeanor change, he was noticeably reticent, very unlike the rest of his (polished) presentation,

When someone rejects the truth, its always interesting to see what they later embrace, what they replace it with, what they ultimately take up with instead of the cross,

Why cant they perceive, discuss or accept prophecy? Because it is a witness here and now directly in front of us, it cannot be denied, and it requires the spirit to fully see it, and for which they do not have and openly reject, and hence they have no way of obtaining it without diminishing their overriding worldly wisdom and arrogance and submitting to him for the answer, and he would give it to them freely,

” . . for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Revelation 19:10

At the close of the age, at the time of the end, we’re told in Revelation Chapter 9 these are the ones that will seek death but not be able to find it, desire to die, but death will flee from them.
