Earthquake, Tsunami, Volcano
July 29, 2025 — Please watch this video of the Krasheninnikov Volcano in Kamchatka, Russia, which will partake in the earthquake that sinks Los Angeles next year. "This is the first historically confirmed eruption of Krasheninnikov Volcano in 600 years." It will destroy many businesses, farms and commercial activities on Australia's East Coast as the Pacific Ring of Fire erupts. The map in the video notes that like the March 27, 1964 earthquake and tsunami it will startein the Aleutian Islands, and that is where the earthquake that will sink Los Angeles will commence. The 9.3 earthquake that commences at the Aleutian Islands will sink Los Angles, much of California and terminate the US West Coast at Arizona when a 1,500 x 300-400 segment of earth's crust sinks beneath the Pacific sending tsunamis over the ocean. Please Watch: on the eartquake in Russia , and continue viewing to The earthquake that sunk the ship to the botton the harbour and the tsunami returned. the water.

Ring of Fire Awakens: Pacific Megaquake sparks Tsunami, Eurasia's tallest Volcano Erupts
July 31, 2025 — A tsunami triggered by a massive underwater earthquake off the eastern coast of Russia, impacting Hawaii, Alaska, and the US West Coast in the overnight hours, has led to the eruption on Eurasia's highest and most active volcano, located on the Kamchatka Peninsula.
Russia's Tass News said the 8.7 magnitude earthquake that struck on Russia's Kamchatka was the "largest earthquake since 1952" . . . "Right now, Klyuchevskaya Sopka is erupting" . . . Both the tsunami-triggering quake and the volcanic eruption stem from tectonic movements along the Pacific Ring of Fire, particularly the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the Okhotsk Plate. This suggests a major stress release event in the Earth's crust.
This kind of event cluster in rapid succession could indicate a larger regional stress redistribution, raising the risk of additional quakes or eruptions in adjacent fault lines or volcanoes (e.g., in the Aleutians, Kuril Islands, or even Japan). Full story: zerohedge.com
Von der Leyen just subordinated the EU as the US' Largest-Ever Vassal State
July 28, 2025 — European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen agreed to a framework deal with the US whereby the EU will be charged 15% tariffs on most imports, commit to purchasing $750 billion in US energy exports, and invest $600 billion into the US economy, some of which will be military purchases. US tariffs on EU steel and aluminum exports will remain at 50% while the EU agreed not to tariff the US at all. The alternative to this lopsided arrangement was for Trump to impose his threatened 30% tariffs by 1 August.
The EU's macroeconomic strength was greatly weakened over the past 3-5 years as a result of the anti-Russian sanctions that it imposed in solidarity with the US on what had hitherto been its cheapest and most reliable energy supplier. It was therefore already at a critical disadvantage in any prospective trade war. The EU's failure to reach a major trade deal with China since Trump's return to office, such as during their most recent summit late last week, made Sunday's outcome a fait accompli in hindsight.
The end result is that the EU just subordinated itself as the US' largest-ever vassal state. The US' 15% tariffs on most imports will reduce EU production and profits, thus making a recession more likely. The bloc's commitment to purchasing more expensive US energy will become more onerous in that event. Likewise, its pledge to buy more US arms will undermine the "Rearm Europe Plan", with the combined effect of the aforesaid concessions further ceding the EU's already reduced sovereignty to the US. This can in turn embolden the US to press for better terms in its ongoing trade negotiations with others. On the North American front, Trump envisages reasserting the US' hegemony over Canada and Mexico via economic means, which can enable him to more easily expand "Fortress America" southward . . .

AI in Support of Israeli Intelligence. Planning of Genocide. 'What Will Gaza Look Like in Future'
July 27, 2025 — Using Artificial Intelligence this is the "political simulation" of "what Gaza will look like in the future." This was an initiative of Gila Gamliel-Demri, who was Israel's Minister of Intelligence in 2023-2024. The last sentence pertains to a Ministry of Intelligence "Secret" Memorandum pertaining to "Voluntary Immigration" for Gaza, which was submitted to the Netanyahu Cabinet on .13.2023. X There is one statement in this video production which is not based on Artificial Intelligence. It's the so-called. "Voluntary Immigration Plan", namely Israel's Ministry of Intelligence "Secret" Memorandum which was released on October 13, 2023 and adopted by the Netanyahu Cabinet. This entails the admission of a detailed intelligence and military agenda to "Wipe Gaza off the Map," planned well in advance on October 7, 2025 . . . The official "secret" memorandum authored by Israel's Ministry of Intelligence had recommended the forcible and permanent transfer of the Gaza Strip's 2.2 million Palestinian residents to Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, namely to a refugee camp in Egyptian territory. This was by no means "Voluntary" . . . the False Flag Agenda which had been carefully organized (prior to October 7, 2023) by the Israeli Ministry of Intelligence and the IDF in consultation with US intelligence.
The ICJ in its January 26, 2024 Judgment failed to question the role of the Likud coalition government, which was largely responsible for the planning prior to October 7 of a comprehensive agenda under Option C, with the support of Washington. On January 26, 2024 Netanyahu confirmed that the genocide was ongoing and would continue despite the ICJ Judgment . . .
Washington Supports the Genocide. The Issue of "Conflict of Interest" and "Recusal." Amply documented, the Genocide is a joint Israel-US project. The President of the ICJ, Joan Donoghue—a former Legal Advisor to Hillary Clinton–was in conflict of interest, which would have required her Recusal. (See: Recusals of Arbitrators and Judges in International Courts and Tribunals, Chiara Giorgetti). What is at stake is the criminalization of the ICJ process. That has granted Israel the full endorsement of the US a de facto "green light" to continue and "escalate the genocide". Full story: globalresearch.ca
Comment: Starvation as a way of life. Starvation as a way of death. Starvation as policy, justification and vengeance. As the state of Israel hums along frittering, scratching and violating international human rights conventions, the chroniclers are kept busy on the morgue's relentlessly growing inventory and peace's loss. Of late, a vast number of humanitarian organisations have decided to express their collective outrage in a statement at what is happening in Gaza.
The statement as run by Doctors Without Borders on July 23 is stark: "As the Israel government's siege starves the people of Gaza, aid workers are now joining the same food lines, risking being shot just to feed their families. With supplies now totally depleted, humanitarian organisations are witnessing their own colleagues and partners waste before their eyes." . . . Outside Gaza, and even within the Strip, abundant supplies of food, clean water, medical supplies, shelter items and fuel sat untouched. Humanitarian organizations had been prevented from accessing them.
"The Government of Israel's restrictions, delays, and fragmentation under its total siege have created chaos, starvation, and death." A paltry figure of 28 trucks a day was being allowed into the Strip. (globalresearch.ca). The Israeli-induced starvation in Gaza is plunging Gazans to new depths of horror, causing atrocious suffering and death in the streets of Gaza. People literally collapse and die. Mostly children and women are concerned. Others who stand in line trying to get some meager food or water are gunned down, killed on the spot. This sounds so horrifying and unbelievable, that most people may stop reading in simple disbelief: Impossible that humanity has reached such a level so evil . . . There is now proof that all of this was planned by Zionist Israel, Mossad, CIA, MI6. So, the so-called Hamas attack on 7 October 2023 was a false flag. (globalresearch.ca).
Former Green Beret: 'Without Question, I Witnessed War Crimes' in Gaza
July 28, 2025 — A retired US Army Special Forces lieutenant colonel who worked as a contractor at an aid distribution point in Gaza has gone on- the-record with claims that he personally witnessed war crimes perpetrated by the Israel Defense Forces and by American contractors working for the shadowy Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
"I witnessed the Israeli forces shooting at the crowds of Palestinians," Anthony Aguilar told BBC. "I witnessed the Israeli forces firing a main gun tank round from the Merkava tank into a crowd of people, destroying a car of civilians that was simply driving away from the site. I witnessed mortar rounds being fired at the crowd… to keep them controlled . . ." Full story: zerohedge.com

Deep State in Deep Trouble? Events are unraveling Liberal Global Order
July 24, 2025 — On July 22, President Trump announced on television that Barack Obama is guilty of treason—a charge which carries the death penalty. Former DNI Director James Clapper admits Obama instigated Russiagate!!! . . . Trump has attracted derision for repeatedly saying this war would never have happened had he won the 2020 election, whose result was influenced by the same corrupt intelligence community which first suppressed then denounced the Hunter Biden laptop scandal as Russian propaganda.
Now we know what Trump meant.
Everything which has been true about the war in Ukraine has been called Russian propaganda—including the Biden family's obvious corrupt connections to that nation through Burisma.
In a startling move, formerly elected President Volodymyr Zelensky passed a bill on July 22 to shut down US-controlled anti-corruption agencies, sparking protests across Ukraine against the measures . . . Why does this matter? This is a Deep State war, and all the liberal governments of the West have invested their political capital in winning or at least prolonging it, along with the billions they have dumped down the black hole of Zelensky's Ukraine . . .

West is Losing its Grip on Africa
July 28, 2025 — Once upon a time, many in the world believed the West was a source of truth and knowledge—some even said freedom and equality. But alas what they learned was that knowledge of the truth they sought in the West was often disappointing and always with financial and political "strings" attached. And this is particularly true, today, amidst the countries of Africa. Western narratives promising security, economic well-being and political advantage are no longer going unchallenged. The recently formed Alliance of Sahel States (Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger) is indicative of this transformation. It also signified the final withdrawal from the Western-backed regional economic organization ECOWAS.
A specifically 'African consciousness' is burgeoning: one that questions Western edicts and seeks to reclaim the continent's own voice. The West fears an Africa that no longer is compliant to its dictates. It sees a multipolar world on the rise; African nations are no longer bound by Western-controlled narratives. They are, rather, pursuing relationships with alternative global powers such as China, India and Russia. What is at stake is not just power, influence and resources—it's about the 'voice of Africa'. What's at stake is not just power, influence and resources—it's the 'voice of Africa'. Its time has come . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca
Get out, Stay out, Quit India! Farmers Campaign against Foreign Agribusiness & Wealth Extractors
July 26, 2025 — The Quit India Movement was launched by Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian National Congress on 8 August 1942, demanding the immediate end of British rule in India inspired a mass civil disobedience campaign featuring strikes, demonstrations and sabotage, despite the British arresting Gandhi and many Congress leaders immediately after the movement's start.
The movement saw remarkable nationwide participation—including women, students, workers and peasants. Although it was violently suppressed by the colonial authorities, it galvanized the struggle for independence. The Quit India Movement significantly weakened British authority, promoted unity among diverse groups and set the stage for India's eventual independence. Now, in 2025, the spirit of the Quit India Movement is being explicitly invoked by today's farmer protests to inspire unity, resilience and a nationwide call to action . . . Ultimately, the commoditization and financialisation of food and agricultural land serves to further embed corporate influence at all levels, from seed to store (or, increasingly, e-commerce platform), paralleling a global pattern of food insecurity and corporate dominance. .Full story: globalresearch.ca
Political West's 'Divide & Rule' Strategy of Destabilizing China's BRI
July 28, 2025 — China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is the most ambitious infrastructure and economic integration project ever devised, linking over 140 countries across Asia, Africa and Europe. Much unlike the political West, Beijing is trying to project power through economic means, a starkly different approach to that of the most aggressive power pole in human history.
Namely, the US-led political West keeps destroying entire countries through subversion, promotion of the so-called "Western values" (i.e. moral depravity and societal degeneracy), (neo)-colonialism, etc. If all that doesn't work, there's always the possibility of "humanitarian interventions", which is just a pathetic euphemism for direct armed aggression. And what do the "evil Chinese" do? Well, they build.
So, the choice is as follows—get bombed back to the Stone Age for years (if not decades) or have ports, highways, airports, even entire cities built in several years, which would help your country develop for decades to come. If you were to give anyone remotely sane these two options, what do you think they would choose? Well, the fact of the matter is that around 75% of the global population opted for the latter . . .

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation Head Boasts Success as Palestinians Starve
July 24 2025 — "This is a narrative that does not at all match the reality and is a very cynical and dark narrative, given how bad the reality is." Outside of reports that rely solely on anonymous Israeli intelligence sources, such as a recent Washington Post article that alleged Hamas seized 15 percent of goods for its own use, there has been no evidence of widespread theft of aid by Hamas. An aid audit recognized Hamas had been using some aid for revenue, but showed that only 1 percent of aid had been lost to theft. While the Israeli government publicly cried foul about such theft as far back as early 2024, Israeli officials failed to provide evidence of such allegations during confidential briefings with US. officials.
Despite news reports like the Haaretz investigation in June that Israeli soldiers have been ordered to shoot at unarmed Palestinians waiting for aid, or the July Associated Press story revealing that American contractors guarding the GHF aid sites had fired live ammunition, stun grenades, and tear gas at aid-seeking Palestinians, GHF markets itself as a safer alternative to UN-run aid sites . . .
Moran said at least five infants and toddlers had recently died of malnutrition at MedGlobal's clinic: 3-month-old Mohammed, 4-month-old Nahed, 1.5-year-old Zein, 2-year-old Jouri, and 4.5-year-old Sewar. "They died for the sole reason that we did not have the essential medications and IV fluids and nutrition treatments that we needed to save their lives," Moran said. "Every single one of those deaths is preventable, every single one of those deaths is not the norm of what we've been seeing in Gaza." Full story: theintercept.com
Comment: While the US backs Israel, Gaza's civilian population faces mass starvation and death. Journalist and author Chris Hedges traces the roots of this unfolding atrocity.
More than 1,000 Palestinians seeking food have been killed by Israeli forces in just the last few months, according to the United Nations. Israel's blockade on aid, ongoing bombardment, and the dismantling of independent relief efforts have pushed Gaza to the brink of mass famine. At least 600,000 people are suffering from severe malnutrition, and aid groups warn of a manufactured humanitarian catastrophe.
"It's not about the distribution of food, it's not about humanitarian aid. It's about creating—luring Palestinians who are desperate into the south, putting them into a closed military zone," says Chris Hedges, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and former Middle East bureau chief for the New York Times.
This week on The Intercept Briefing, host Jordan Uhl speaks with Hedges about how we got here and what's at stake. Hedges spent seven years covering the conflict between Israel and the Palestine, much of that time in Gaza. He's the author of 14 books, the most recent being "The Greatest Evil Is War" and "A Genocide Foretold." Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify
The Sixfold Purpose of Gabriel's Visit to Daniel
The angel Gabriel whose name means "God is my Strength" is mentioned six times in the Bible. He was the Messenger to Israel, not Islam which is contrary to Yahweh Torah, and God cannot change His mind about His Word. Likewise the angels to the Seven Church Ages were each sent to one Church Age.
There are but four Gentile World Empires. Jewish, communist, UN, WEF or Money Power, global empire is a fantasy common to collaboraors like Eisenhower, Stalin and Churchill.
The first Gentile World Empire, Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon, was succeeded by Medo-Persia. In Daniel 8:1-23 Gabriel explained the vision of the ram with two horns that signified Medo-Persia, the second Gentile World Empire; the he-goat signified Greece and became the third Gentile World Empire. Following the death of Alexander his Empire was divided between our generals. Ptolemy I ruled Egypt, Seleucus ruled Babylonia, Antigomy ruled Syria, while Antipater ruled Macedonia and Greece.
Ptolemy I Soter was a Macedonian Greek, historian, and successor of Alexander who went on to found the Ptolemaic Kingdom centered on Egypt. He was pharaoh of Ptolemaic Egypt from 305/304BC to his death in 282BC, and his descendants continued to rule Egypt until 30BC.
Seleucus I Nicator, became satrap Babylonia in 321BC. After Alexander's death, Seleucus rose to prominence, establishing the Seleucid Empire with Babylon as its capital in 312BC. He then expanded his rule from Thrace to the Indus River.
Antigonus I Monophthalmus initially held control over Phrygia, Lycaonia, Pamphylia, Lycia, and western Pisidia and later ruled Syria. His unsuccessful attack on Egypt (305BC) inspired his rivals Ptolemy, Lysimachus, Cassander and Seleucus to all proclaim themselves kings, thereby ending any pretense of a single Macedonian monarchy.
Antiochus Epiphanes IV was king of the Seleucid Empire from 175BC until his death in 164BC. Notable events during Antiochus' reign include his near-conquest of Ptolemaic Egypt, his persecution of Jews in Judea and Samaria, and the rebellion of the Jewish Maccabees.
We live under the fourth and last Gentile World Empire, Rome. The last Pope will be incarnate by Satan. "And the kings of the earth and their armies, assembled to make war against Jesus seated on the horse, and against His army. And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who wrought signs by his authority, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast, and those who worshipped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant was slain with the Sword which came from the mouth of Him who sat upon the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh" (Revelation 19:19-21).
In Daniel 9:21-27 Gabriel informs Daniel of the prophecy of seventy weeks of years (490 years), decreed for God's people and Jerusalem. Their sixfold purpose will be accomplished in the final three and a half years. The prophecy is divided into three parts: 7 weeks (49 years), 62 weeks (434 years), and the final week (7 years). The prophecy is linked to the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. The first 69 weeks (49 + 434 years) led to Jesus' crucifixion. The final week is divided, with the first half relating to the supernatural ministry of Moses and Ejijah revividas: "the time of Jacob's trouble or great tribulation when the Pope will be incarnate by Satan" (Jeremiah 30:7; Revelation 11:1-12). The prophecy also mentions the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple by General Titus aided by turncoat Edomite Jews AD70. The prophecy serves as a timeline for Israel's redemption and the millennium.
In Luke 1:19-80 Gabriel spoke to Zachariah, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God; I have been sent to bring you this good news." Your wife Elizabeth who has been childless has conceived. Six months later Gabriel went to Nazareth in Galilee to a virgin espoused to Joseph, of the House of David, and Gabriel said, "Fear not, Mary: for you have found favour with God. And you shall conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name JESUS . . . Mary said, How shall this be, as I know not a man? And the angel answered and said, The Holy Ghost shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you: also that holy thing which shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God."
You will recall how Gabriel smote Zachariah speechless until the birth of his son John the Baptist because disbelieved. So at John's circumcision Zacharias wrote, "His name is John".
Let us commence our study with Daniel 9:24
"Seventy weeks are determined upon your people and upon your holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy".
Seventy weeks is all the time determined to Israel. Therefore, the prophecy runs from the going forth of the commandment to build and restore old Jerusalem until Israel's revelation of the parousia of Christ and His Bride, the New Jerusalem, and our imminent descent for the Millennial reign. Israel's revelation anoints the Most Holy Place, New Jerusalem, God manifest in His glorified Family, Who take their abode in the Millennium Temple; the anointing will be upon us and our anointing will be upon our 144,000 attendants.
God was to accomplish a sixfold purpose upon Daniel's people, Israel, and upon his holy city, Jerusalem. Seventy weeks of prophetic years were determined for their fulfillment and we understand from Scripture that 69 of those weeks have already expired so this sixfold purpose of God is to be accomplished in the seventieth week, after the Gentile Dispensation has ended.
John represents Christ's end-time Bride throughout the Book of Revelation; we were caught up after the close of the Seven Church Ages at Revelation 4:1-2 and entered the threefold PROCESS of the 'rapture' (I Thessalonians 4:16) and come back for the Millennium after Revelation 19:21 to His holy Temple anointed with the Presence of God to live and to reign through the Millennium, appearing with the mighty King to take our place at His side, the new royal anointed Temple.
1. Finish the Transgression:
Israel's transgression was the willful rejecting of their near Kinsman Redeemer and Messiah by misuse of their free moral agency. God gave Israel the Law and sent prophets to reveal His will; Israel chose to speculate on the Talmud and assimilate Edomites whom God hates (Malachi 1:1-5), thus Israel became (Heb.) 'cherem'. God did not blind individual Jews; the Israel "nation" is blinded UNTIL the His Gentile Bride is complete.
"Though Jesus did so many miracles, yet they could not believe" (John 3:2; 12:37; Acts 2:22). And although the Son of Man has revealed Himself in OUR day as He promised, and done "the greater works", far more of the same miracles He did the days of His flesh, that same spirit prevents men from believing (Luke 17:29-30; John 14:12). But God deals with Israel as a nation, Gentiles as individuals. Therefore we are willfully blind.
Romans 11:20-29, ". . . Be not high minded, but fear: for if God spared not the natural branches, (Israel) . . . take heed lest He also spare not you. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness: otherwise you too shall be cut off. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graff them in again." (There is coming a time when the Gentiles will be cut off and Israel restored).
"For if you (Gentiles) were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and graffed contrary to nature (aliens, without the kingdom, without God, no hope at all; and God in His mercy gave us a chance by cutting off Israel because of transgressions . . .) and grafted us into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which are the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?"
"For I would not, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles comes in. (Israel is blinded until the last predestinated saint is baptized into His Bride). And so all Israel shall be saved: (12,000 from each tribe) as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: (God will gather the fruit from the grafted branch and cast the branch into the Fire). For this is My covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance".
Gifts and callings—the birthright promised to Abraham and his seed, is without repentance, It is the grace of God to ALL of His Seed by the baptism on the Holy Ghost (Genesis 3:11; Galatians 3:16-29). God bound up the future of all nations and people in the history of Abraham and his seed. Therefore the history of the natural seed is prophetic.
Romans 11:25-27 speaks of the Dispensation change when the Gentiles will be cut off, and Israel grafted back (Joel 2:32; Isaiah 4:3; 46:13). At that time, the Bible says, "His feet will stand upon the Mount of Olives—this is a SYMBOL like Revelation 10:1-6, NOT a physical manifestation, and it is marked by an earthquake—the same earthquake that divides the Mount will sink Los Angeles (Zechariah 13:8; 14:4; Isaiah 29:6; Revelation 16:18-19; 18:21-23). The city of Jerusalem will be divided into three parts—like the Temple which will be measured by the Word, according to Revelation 11:1-3. The outer court which is profane, the (Gk.) "Naos" or holy place, and the holy of holies, and so the people will be separated and 144,000 sealed with the Spirit of God.
When the earthquake strikes the Mount of Olives, all nations will recognize Israel is in her homeland, God with her. Then she will begin the sacrifice and rebuild the Temple.
Finishing the transgression will turn away ungodliness away from Jacob. "So all Israel shall be saved" (Romans 11:26; Ezekiel 33:10-16; 39:23-29).
First, God is going to gather us as the fruit of the vine, so we'll be holy fruit, drawn from the holy root, which is the Lord Jesus, bearing the Life of that Root in its season (Romans 11:16-18; John 15:1-8).
2. Make an end of Sins:
Here is where Israel made his fatal mistake.
Matthew 27:21-25, "The governor answered and said to them, which of the two would you like me to release? They said, Barabbas.
Pilate said to them, What shall I do then with Jesus Who is called Christ? They all said to him, Let Him be crucified. (This is "Messiah the Prince" fulfilling the 69th of 70 weeks of years on Good Friday, Daniel 9:26. Christ's end-time Bride anticipates the next Good Friday will close the Gentile dispensation when the Sixth Seal, Israel's Seventh Trumpet, Seventh Vial manifest and after three days the resurrection of the sleeping saints will commence).
And the governor said, Why, what evil has He done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let Him be crucified. When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: you see to it".
Sin is unbelief in God's revealed Word: here is Israel's sin!
"Then answered all the people, and said, HIS BLOOD BE ON US, AND ON OUR CHILDREN". And it has been ever since!
Jesus was making an end of sin for them; knowing they were blinded that we could come in, how could He but say, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do!"
Although He fulfilled all Scripture spoken of Him, in their sin or unbelief, they crucified Him. So when people fail to see Serpent seed, Scriptural water baptism, or the true oneness of the godhead, don't be angry with them: they are blind and don't know it. Just pray for them.
Let us type out Israel's sin with their rejection of Joseph, and his revelation to them in Genesis 45 when he confronts his brethren in Egypt. Genesis 45:1-7, "Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren. And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard. And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; does my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence. And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt. Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me hither: for God sent me before you to preserve life. For these two years the famine has been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest. And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance".
Doesn't that compare with Zechariah 12 just beautifully? Putting the two together we are bound to get it exactly right.
When Joseph was very young he was hated by his brethren because he was Spiritual. He couldn't help seeing visions, dreaming dreams and interpreting, because He was a prophet, it was in him. So when his brothers hated him, it was without cause. But he was beloved of his father who was also a prophet and understood. A perfect type of Christ. God loved His Son, but the brethren (Scribes and Pharisees) hated Him because He could heal the sick, do miracles and foretell the future, see and interpret visions. That was no reason to hate Him but they did, and like Joseph's brethren, they hated Him without a cause.
The sons of Jacob cast him into a pit. They took the coat of many colors his father had given him and dipped it in blood to make him think the boy was killed by some animal. They sold him to some slave traders who took him into Egypt and there he was resold to a general whose wife had him falsely imprisoned. Eventually his ability as a prophet brought him to attention and he was exalted to the right hand of Pharaoh with such authority that none could approach Pharaoh except through Joseph.
And no one can come to God but through our near Kinsman Redeemer.
Now let's examine the life of Joseph while he was in Egypt, for it is here we see him as the perfect type of Christ. While in the house of the general he was falsely accused, punished and imprisoned without a cause, as happened to Jesus. There in prison he interpreted the dream of the butler and baker who were also prisoners with him. The butler was restored to life, the baker was condemned to death. Christ was imprisoned on the cross, forsaken by God and man. On either side of Him was a thief—one died, spiritually, the other was granted eternal life. And notice, when Jesus was taken off the cross, He was exalted into heaven and now sits at the right hand of the great Spirit Jehovah; and no man can come to God except by Him. There is ONE mediator between God and men, there are no Marys or saints, Jesus is all you need.
Continuing with this type we find in Joseph, notice how everything he did in Egypt prospered. His job with the general prospered. Even the jail prospered. And when Jesus returns, the desert will blossom as a rose. He is the "Son of Prosperity". As no age ever prospered as the one under Joseph, there's a time of blessing coming on this earth as the world has never known. In His presence is fullness of joy and on His right hand are pleasures forever more. Praise God!
Everywhere Joseph went, forerunners sounded a trumpet to announce his arrival (typing the seven angels to the Gentile Church Ages). People would scream, "Bow the knee to Joseph!" No matter what a man was doing, when that trumpet sounded, he bowed the knee. Were he selling in the street, reaching for his money, he had to stop and bend the knee when the Presence was announced by that trumpet call. And one of these days everything in time will stand still when the trumpet of God shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise and morning break eternal bright and fair. Everything will bow the knee then, for it is written, "Wherefore God also has highly exalted Him, and given Him a Name which is above every name; That at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" (Philippians 2:9-11).
While in Egypt, Joseph was given a Gentile bride and through her received a family of two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. As Jacob was about to bless them his hands crossed, so that the right hand fell upon the younger. Joseph cried out, "Not so, father, this is the first-born to your right." But Jacob said, "God crossed my hands". Here in type we see the blessing which belonged to the first-born (Israel) was given over to the younger (the Gentile) through the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Galatians 3:13-14, "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree; that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith." Israel rejected the cross. The blessing of Abraham came through the cross to the Gentiles; therefore, Jesus got the Gentile bride.
Returning to the story of Joseph meeting his brethren you recall that not all the brethren came. Knowing this Joseph did not make himself known until all the brethren appeared before him. (And when Christ reveals Himself to Israel, all 144,000 will see Him and be reborn in one day). Finally they brought Benjamin, the one that was missing. It was little Benjamin, Joseph's full brother, that set his soul on fire. And when our Joseph, even Jesus, comes to the people who have kept the Commandments of God and returned to Palestine, His soul will be set on fire. Benjamin typifies the 144,000 Israelites from all over the earth who have returned to Palestine for their redemption. They will be standing there ready to receive Him, Whom to know aright is Life eternal. They will say, "This is our God for Whom we have waited." Then they will see Him Whom they have pierced. And cry out in dismay, "Where did these awful wounds come from? How did it happen?" And they will wail and cry, every family apart, everyone apart in the agony of sorrow.
The bride of Joseph with the two children were in the palace, for Joseph had commanded, "Let everyone leave me; put them all out from before me." And while Jesus is revealing Himself to His brethren, His Gentile Bride will be taken off the earth, caught up before the great tribulation to meet her Lord in the air. For three and one-half years while the retributive wrath of God is poured out, she will be at the great Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Then He'll return, leaving His Bride in "His Father's house," while he makes Himself known to His brethren.
At this very time, the antichrist covenant that the Jews have made with Rome will be broken. Rome and her allies then send their troops to destroy all the God-fearing, Word-abiding Jews (Revelation 11:3-13). But as they come against the city to destroy it, there will appear in the heavens the sign of the coming of the Son of Man with His mighty armies to destroy them who have been destroying the earth. Then the ten European nations which gave their support to Rome—five from the former Eastern Bloc, and five from the West, will hate the whore and blast Vatican City off the map. And Russia will destroy the USA (Revelation 17:12 – 18:20; 19:1-3; Isaiah 66:1-18; Jeremiah 25:31; Ezekiel 38:14-23; 39; Joel 2:32; 3:1-21). This is the time of Israel's parousia.
With the enemy repulsed, Jesus comes and presents Himself to the 144,000. By faith, NOT by sight. Having seen His mighty acts of salvation, they have come to know His power. But seeing His wounds and knowing that they had rejected Him even to that moment, causes them to cry out in the agony of terror and fear, even as their brethren of old when they stood before Joseph, being sore afraid that they would be killed. But Joseph said, "Don't be angry with yourselves. It is alright. God was in it all. He did it to preserve life." Even so will Jesus speak peace and love to them (Zechariah 12:10-13:9).
"For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall MAKE AN END OF SINS" —unbelief (Romans 11:27). So All Israel shall be saved.
3. Make Reconciliation for Iniquity:
Iniquity is wickedness. Christ made reconciliation on Calvary, but it was not applied to Israel because He had blinded the nation, so we could come in. But the Gentile church of THIS day is without excuse, for "the mystery of God is finished." They are willfully blind, and their names will be removed from the Book of Life. Jesus said, "If you believe not that I am He, you will die in your sins" (John 8:24).
Zechariah 13:1, "In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the House of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness". And that word uncleanness means "impurity" as in idolatry. The faith which reveals Messiah to Israel will cleanse and reconcile his soul in a new birth as it regenerated our souls.
Zechariah 13:6-7, "And one shall say to Him, What are these wounds in Your hands? Then He shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of My friends. Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, and against the man that is My associate says the LORD of hosts: smite the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones".
Jesus quoted the first part of this on the Mount of Olives: "Then said Jesus, You shall all be offended because of Me this night: for it is written, I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee" (Matthew 26:31-32). This prophecy came to pass almost immediately, as the chief priests and elders arrested Jesus, and the disciples were dispersed (Matthew 26:55-57, 69-75; Acts 8:1).
It took some 40 years from Calvary to Titus to "scatter" the elect so the Gospel would be taught in all nations (among the Gentiles). Remember, Israel is only promised a blessing so long as he is in the Land. And it's taken another 40 years since 1948 for God to force Israel back to the Homeland for the Blessing. Now he's in the Land, a nation; the Church is called, and the Bride taken out, just waiting for the translation. Soon God will gather 144,000 out of Israel by the Feast of Trumpets.
The remainder of that Scripture was not quoted by Jesus because It did not apply to His day: "and I will turn My hand upon the little ones. And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, says the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on My Name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is My people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God" (Zechariah 13:7-9).
When will He turn back to the little Benjamin group? When reconciliation for iniquity has been made. All Israel shall be saved. Malachi 3:3 - 4:4 tells the same story. As soon as Israel recognize Messiah, the nation is born in one day.
Isaiah 66:8, "Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children".
But they'll never see It until the latter rain when reconciliation is made for their Spiritual uncleanliness, their iniquity.
4. Bring in Everlasting Righteousness:
Israel's blindness is removed when his transgressions have come to an end. When the cup of iniquity of the Amorites (or Gentiles) is full and they are cut off, Satan cast out, and Israel grafted back in (Revelation 12:1-17). When everlasting righteousness comes in, Satan is bound in the bottomless pit.
"And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: (That's Israel, the Orthodox Church clothed in the Glory with the Law under her feet, she's crossed over and has the revelation of the twelve apostles—Matthew 19:28). And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered".
"And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon (Satan through Rome), having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads" (Revelation 17:3, 9-11). "And his tail (false prophecy) drew the third part of the stars of heaven (Shem—Israel—Romans 11:25), and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born." (That was Herod who sought to destroy the infant Jesus—Matthew 2:13-18).
"And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne" (Psalm 2:7-9; Acts 1:9; Revelation 2:27; 19:15). "And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. 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 deceives the whole world (Revelation 13:8; 17:8) he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him". (And he incarnates the pope and sits in the temple as if he were God, forgiving sins, etc. Revelation 13:1-8. This is the Dispensation change and Seventh Trump, where the pale horse rider rides on to perdition). "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".
"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice you heavens, and you who 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 knows that he has but a short time. And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, (Old and New Testaments) that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, (three and a half years) from the face of the serpent./i>
And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood (armies or multitudes) after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." Israel overcome by faith and prayer, then the 144,000 are martyred (Daniel 7:21, 25; Revelation 6:11; 11:7; 13:7).
Once Israel is born again and sinners destroyed from the face of the earth, the Millennium begins. Everlasting righteousness is automatic because Satan is bound.
Revelation 20:1-3, "And I saw an Angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. (This is another SYMBOL. This Angel is CHRIST and the chain is a chain of CIRCUMSTANCES). And He laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season." (Satan's subjects are all in the grave so he is powerless until the general resurrection).
So the righteousness is only "everlasting" and not Eternal until Satan and his subjects are cast into the Lake of Fire after the White Throne Judgment. But immediately after he is sealed up, "the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea" (Habakkuk 2:14). So when the enemy has been put away, the end of sin has come, Satan is sealed in the bottomless pit, the knowledge of the Lord shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea, and everlasting righteousness is brought in.
5. To Seal up the Vision and Prophecy:
The focus of Daniel 11 is the division of the Greek Gentile World Empire into four separate Empires and the rise of Rome. The Seleucid Dynasty lasted from 305BC until 64BC in its various forms centered in Syria and Mesopotamia. The Seleucids fought many wars with the Ptolomies, rulers of Egypt. Antiochus III, a Selucid king, lost much land to Rome in about 190BC. Judas Maccabeus led a Jewish revolt against Antiochus IV in the 160's BC. By 129BC the Seleucids had lost Mesopotamia and their power had declined in Syria, which became a Roman Province in 62BC. The World power and colonization moved Westward.
In Daniel 12:1-4 the Prophet foresees the Messianic kingdom dissolving under Rome: Christ and His Bride of all ages are at the Wedding Supper. "At that time Michael will arise, the great Prince who stands for the children of Daniel's people in a time of distress such as never occurred since there was an Israel nation even to that same time: and in that time your people shall be delivered, every elect who is found written in the Book".
The distress of the faithful will reach its highest intensity for this will be "the time of Jacob's trouble" the great tribulation of Jeremiah 30:7 and Matthew 24:21-22, "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, nor ever shall be. And except those days are shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened".
Daniel 12:2, "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting torment that awaits the wicked at the judgment. And those who are wise and prudent shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever. But you, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the Book, even till the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased". Many believe this refers to the resurrection and translation of Christ's Bride but these are "Daniel's people," Israelites; we are at the Wedding Supper of the Lamb in the Sky.
Daniel 11:45 — 12:1-4, "And at that time Michael will stand up, the great Prince Who stands for the children of your people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation (that's when "the (Papal) prince that was to come" breaks his covenant in the midst of the seventieth week, even to that same time: and at that time your people (144,000 end-time elect) will be delivered, every one that is found written in the Book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt (at the second resurrection)".
"And they who are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever (i.e. eternity). But you, O Daniel, SHUT UP THE WORDS, AND SEAL THE BOOK, EVEN TO THE TIME OF THE END: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased". (And knowlwdge is increasing so rapidly, we cannot keep pace. Can you say "AI"?).
Daniel saw the vision and prophecy of Israel's redemption, but the Angel sealed the mystery from his understanding for it was only to be revealed in the end-time after Christ opened the Seven Seals and revealed their mystery to the Gentiles through the seventh angel. Israel can read but will not comprehend it until God removes their blindness when their Seven Trumpet mysteries are revealed through their two witnesses (Isaiah 29:11).
Now here we have a "time key." The Book which was sealed unto the time of the end was unsealed by Christ in 1963 and revealed to the Gentiles by the prophet-messenger to the Laodicean Church Age. We know therefore that WE are in "the end time." ISRAEL'S "time of the end" is in the seventieth week when the prince out of Rome is revealed making himself as God (Isaiah 14:12-14; Daniel 9:27; 11:36; II Thessalonians 2:3-8). Previously Daniel had earlier seen this vision by the River Ulai, but it was sealed until the time of the end (Daniel 8:16-27).
Those two prophets who witness to Israel will "seal up" (as with a signet) or "reconfirm" the New Covenant Christ has already confirmed by His rejected Ministry, crucifixion and Resurrection, sealing 144,000 by their baptism with the Holy Ghost when they see It. The prophetic vision, or Book of Redemption, is sealed from Israel by their unbelief under the Seven Trumpet Mysteries of Revelation until three and a half years after the Gentile Dispensation. Then the pale horse rider will "scatter the power of the holy people"—Moses and Elijah, who will be killed, and all the elect will be martyred.
Daniel 12:4-10, "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the Book, even to the time of the end: (. . . For Israel, this means the end of the seventieth week) . . . many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river. (Moses of the Law and Elijah of the New Testament). And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? And I heard (Christ) the Man clothed in linen, Who was upon the waters of the river, when He held up His right hand and His left hand unto heaven, and swore by Him that lives forever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; (42 months—that's when the mystery will be revealed to Israel) and when he (antichrist) has scattered the power (or ministry) of the holy people, ("Moses" and "Elijah"—that's when he breaks his covenant in the middle of the week), all these things shall be finished (Revelation 11:3-7; 13:15-18). And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the TIME OF THE END. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand" (by the Trumpet mysteries—Revelation 10:7; Acts 3:21. This is the real true Holy Ghost sealing).
The prince who stood up to cause the abomination in AD70 was General Titus of Imperial Rome. This time the prince is Rome's Pope making himself God as II Thessalonians 2:3-12 informs us: "For the mystery of inquity does already work: only He who now restrains will do so until He (the Holy Ghost manifest in His Bride) is taken out of the way (at the first Resurrection, manifestation of the Sons of God and our translation). THEN shall that Wicked One be revealed (when the Holy Ghost has departed), whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming: even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders (consolidating Protestants and Catholics in a world council of churches—Revelation 13:14, converting Jewry to Catholicism), And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (They loved the historical Jesus but hated Christ, the revealed Word, crucifying Him unto themselves afresh).
"And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie: (that Satan told Eve in the Garden—"O, God's a good, God, He loves you so much, surely He would not let you die". . .) That they all might be DAMNED who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness".
Incarnate by Satan, the pope causes the sacrifice and oblation Israel has restored in the last days, to cease when he breaks his covenant with Israel and the apostate Jews become Roman Catholic (Daniel 9:27).
The 144,000 shall flee from persecution by the enemy (Zechariah 14:5, 13; Ezekiel 38:21; Haggai 2:22). We learn from Revelation 7:1-8 that God had withheld their slaughter and the destruction of Armageddon until they were sealed by the revelation of Daniel's vision and prophecy "in one day" (Daniel 11:35; Revelation 6:11).
6. Anoint the Most Holy:
Gabriel revealed the entire history of God's future dealing with Israel, from the going forth of the commandment to build and restore Jerusalem in 445BC, to the seventieth week when the Kingdom is completely restored, the Millennium sets in and the Most Holy is anointed.
I understand about 14% of America's GDP comes from California. Most of the people, the land, factories and farms that produced this wealth will lie beneath the sea in a moment of time at the close of the Gentile Dispensation. The $US, now supported by her creditors, (bonds, etc.,) will fail. Catholics control industry and the Gold, while "Jews" control commercial paper: insurance and banking. When the $US fails, America will not be permitted to replace her currency Rome and Israel will make an alliance with the USA to refinance the dollar with gold backing, and the Bible says, "craft will prosper".
When Los Angeles sinks beneath the Pacific, marking the end of the Gentile Dispensation, the Mount of Olives will cleave asunder, demolishing es Sakhra, the Dome of the Rock. This is called the abomination of desolation as it occupies the Temple site rendering it spiritually desolate and unclean. The UN has already declared Jerusalem an international city, and as Persia assisted Ezra to restore Zarubabbel's Temple Rome will permit Israel to build a third Temple on the mount.
Following the sinking of Los Angeles on Good Friday, the Day of Pentecost and our Home-going, Russia will invade the United States to restore a semblance of order and prevent World War III. The UN offices in New York City will declare Rome's then devil-incarnate Pope a "Man of Peace" and proclaim him President of One World Government.
In the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week when Rome has restored the international banking and finance restored to order she will break her covenant with Israel, cause the sacrifice and oblation Israel has restored, to cease, and enforce Catholicism over all men (Daniel 9:27; Revelation 12:13-17).
Rome will kill Israel's two anointed prophets who have disrupted nature and cursed the earth (Revelation 11:3-6). Their deceased bodies will be publicly displayed in Jerusalem for three and a half days, then they will revive and ascend to heaven on a cloud televised worldwide in sight of their enemies.
Rome and her allies then send their troops to destroy all God-fearing, Word-abiding Jews. But as they come against the city to destroy it, there will appear in the heavens the SIGN of the coming of the Son of man with his mighty armies to destroy them who have been destroying the earth. With the enemy repulsed, Jesus reveals Himself to the 144,000 by FAITH, not sight. This is their "parousia" of Revelation 19, Ezekiel 40-48, and Daniel 2.
Zechariah 12:9-14, "And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. 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 mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon (where righteous King Josiah was mortally wounded, quenching all hope for the declining kingdom). And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart; all the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart." (Mourning in Israel will be universal, from the civil and ecclesiastical classes, to their remotest members (Revelation 11:18; 16:21).
Revelation 19:1, "And AFTER these things (after this tribulation, after the woes, after the seals, after the plagues, casting out of Satan, Trumpets, and after the setting-up of the Millennium). . . I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Allelujah, the salvation, and the glory, and the honor, and the power, is due unto the Lord our God: for He HAS judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and HAS avenged the blood of His servants at her hand" (Revelation 6:10). That's the ending of the Catholic church we spoke of earlier). "And her smoke rose up forever and ever . . ."
After Israel sees His mighty acts of salvation, they have come to know His power. Now, seeing He was wounded for their transgression and bruised for their iniquity, they catch the revelation of the Son of David returning with His Bride to destroy His enemies without hand, and by their faith, crown Him "KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS" (Revelation 19:1-16).
The Most Holy is NOT Jesus, He was anointed for His ministry after His baptism in the Jordan. The Most Holy is NOT the Temple, Moses "anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them" (Leviticus 8:10-12).
II Chronicles 5:13-14 describes the dedication of Solomon's temple when the Holy Spirit took His abode: "It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the Lord, saying, For He is good; for His mercy endures forever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord; (and "as the Seven Trumpet Messages make one sound," the 144,000 will be born again with that common faith—Acts 2:1). So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God".
When Zerubbabel dedicated his temple, it was not anointed again; Moses' anointing, like your new birth, was for all time (Ephesians 4:30).
Isaiah (66:1-3) has in mind the returning exiles, when he asks, "What house will you build Me?" And the new heavens and new earth where there will be no temple. For in fact God had already disclosed to the returning exiles that His house should be rebuilt in Jerusalem (Isaiah 44:21-28; Ezra 1:2; Haggai 1:2-14). But the earthly Temple did not "contain" God in its Holy of Holies and was merely the place where God revealed Himself.
The Most Holy Place IS the sanctuary where He dwells alone between the Cherubim, and this time Christ will sit in the Most Holy Place with the anointing on Him, and He will be the Light, the anointed One—Husband and Wife. The Most Holy will BE the Temple where we'll live with Christ during the Millennium. The city which has been a curse for two thousand years IS the Most Holy Place and descends from God out of heaven.
According to Luke 21:24, "Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled". The times of the Gentiles came in when Nebuchadnezzar led the first of the Jews into captivity in 606BC, and ends when Jesus, the Stone cut out of the mountain without hands, smites the image, in the feet, and returns to reign as Son of David.
Now the "times of the Gentiles" must not be confused with the "Dispensation of the Gentiles" or Pentecostal Feast. According to Revelation 16:18-19, the Gentile Dispensation ends with a massive earthquake: "And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city (Jerusalem) was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell (Los Angeles, etc): and great Babylon (Rome) came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath". One is political and the other is Spiritual.
This earthquake will destroy es Sakhrah or Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa Mosque which now stands on the Temple site, and divide the City of Jerusalem. Zechariah 14:4-8, "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; half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
"And you shall flee by the valley of My mountains (which He has just formed by dividing the mount of Olives); for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yes, you shall flee, like you 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 Him."
(The earthquake in the days of Uzziah apparently occurred while the king was trying to force his way into the temple, against the protests of the priests, to offer incense on the golden altar; a similar situation will soon occur—II Thessalonians 2:1-12).
(Remember the prophecy of Jesus in Matthew 24:8, concerning "earthquakes in divers places" under the Fourth Seal? The Fourth Seal closes, and the Sixth Seal opens, with "a great earthquake." This is confirmed by Isaiah 29:6—"You shall be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire").
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former (Dead) Sea, and half of them toward the hinder (Mediterranean) sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. (The Gospel going out to both Jew and Gentile—Ezekiel 47:1-12; Joel 3:18; Zechariah 13:1; Revelation 22:1).
And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one".
Now Ezekiel 40-48 describes the restoration of the Theocracy. The City will be south of the temple, which according to Ezekiel 48:10, 20-21, will be located near Shiloh where the Tabernacle rested after the Children of Israel conquered the Land, and where it remained until the Temple of Solomon was finished. A "highway" shall lead from the Sanctuary to the new city (Isaiah 35:8; Ezekiel 47:12; Revelation 22:1-2).
"Living waters" in the Spiritual, speak of the Waters of Life, but in the natural, they will have their source NOT in Jerusalem. The life- giving spring from which they flow will be located under the "Sanctuary" of the Millennium Temple.
The new Temple will be almost one mile square, many times larger than Solomon's Temple. No such building as Ezekiel so minutely describes has ever yet been built and the Shekinah Glory that departed from the Temple at the Time of the Babylonian Captivity (Ezekiel 10:18-28; 11:22-23) will anoint the Most Holy:
"Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east: And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and His Voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with His glory".
"And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face. And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east."
"So the Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house. And I heard Him speaking unto me out of the house; and the Man stood by me".
"Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, backsliding Israel, says the LORD; and I will not cause My anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, said the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever. Only acknowledge your iniquity, that you have transgressed against the LORD your God, and have scattered your ways to the strangers under every green tree, and you have not obeyed My voice, said the LORD".
"Turn, O backsliding children, said the LORD; for I am married unto you: (their eyes were blinded that the Gentiles might receive grace) . . . and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, (all Israel is not Israel, just 12,000 from each tribe) . . . and I will bring you to Zion: And I will give you pastors according to My heart, who shall feed you with knowledge and understandingc".
"And it shall come to pass, when you are multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, said the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the Covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more".
"At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; (as He will be there) . . . and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart".
"And the name of the City from that day shall be, "Jehovah Shammah" —the Lord is there (Ezekiel 43:1-5; 48:35; Daniel 9:24). And the King will come and take His throne for a thousand years:"
Isaiah 65:17-25, "For behold I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
But be ye glad and rejoice forever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy".
"And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying." (Israel rejoiced at the Feast of Tabernacles. The anointing is the joy of the Lord)".
"There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed".
"And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them".
"They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of My people, and My elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands".
"They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them".
"And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear".
"The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My HOLY MOUNTAIN, saith the LORD".
This is "the GREAT MOUNTAIN" of Daniel 2, "the Kingdom of the Lord which filled the whole earth." We see It in Isaiah 2:2; Jeremiah 3:17; Ezekiel 40:2; Micah 4:1; Zechariah 14:10 and Revelation 21:10. Israel's parousia reveals the Son of David and they crown Him King of Israel and rejoice in their King and His salvation.
Isaiah 11:1-9 "And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots (Christ is both Root and Offspring): And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
"And shall make Him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and He shall not judge after the sight of His eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of His ears: But with righteousness shall He judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and He shall smite the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips shall he slay the wicked".
"And righteousness shall be the girdle of His loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox".
"And the child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My HOLY MOUNTAIN: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea" .
After this, the Bride appears in Revelation 19, arriving with Her Bridegroom, the Mighty King, to complete the seventy weeks.
We must always remember that John represents the end-time Bride who is receiving a preview of the "things that shall be hereafter" (the Seven Church Ages). Now we are going to see a preview of what happens "after these things" described in Revelation 17-18, the trumpets, vials, casting out of Satan, the sinking of California and the destruction of Rome.
"And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; the Salvation (or deliverance), and the glory, and the honour, and the power, unto the Lord our God (Hebrews 2:6-7): For true and righteous are His judgments: for He has judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand" (Revelation 6:10; 18:24).
"And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up forever and ever. And the four and twenty elders and the four lively creatures fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia".
"Alleluia" is a HEBREW exclamation meaning, "Praise Jehovah". The word is first found in connection with the installation of the ark in Zion when David appointed certain of the Levites to praise or Hallelujah the enthronement of the Ark in Zion (I Chronicles 16:4). Here in Revelation 19, the redeemed saints in heaven break out in glad Hallelujahs when they see it's time for Christ, the True Ark of the Covenant to make His triumphal return (John 3:29; Psalm 102:13-18; 113; 146-150). Their rejoicing is in response to the closing appeal of a voice from earth to thanksgiving, (Revelation 18:20), for the doom of the harlot city is already accomplished".
"And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all His servants, and you that fear Him, both small and great".
"And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigns. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife has made herself ready".
A voice from the throne summons all the saints of His servant nation (Revelation 7:3; 14:2) and ALL who fear God to the glad service of thanksgiving, whereupon the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters and as the voice of mighty thunderings proclaim, "the Lord God omnipotent reigns"—the advent of the heavenly Jerusalem is at hand.
This many-membered Body of the Bride is ALL Christ's one Wife. Now the union between God and man, the consummation of His eternal purpose, is complete. The Church Age saints could not be made perfect without us. Now John, the Bride, sees a preview of Israel's parousia of the Bride.
"And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints".
"Righteousnesses" plural, meaning the "righteous acts and godly living" of the saints. This is not imputed but their own inherent righteousness. Their own part in union with and to Him. The saints have a righteousness imputed by faith without works, and the fruit of faith, consisting of works wrought in faith. Both are that adornment of the Bride by which she makes herself ready for the Judgment (or award) seat of Christ. This is her maturity for the manifestation of the sons of God. The testimony of Enoch.
"And he said to me, Write, Blessed are they who are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said to me, These are the true sayings of God. And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See you do it not: I am your fellowservant, and of your brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy".
John, the Bride, rejoices, and even falls at the feet of Brother Branham in gratitude, when she sees the time of reward has come (Revelation 19: 7-10; Romans 14:1-12; I Corinthians 3:1-15; 4:5; II Corinthians 5:1-10; II Timothy 4:1).
What follows is the speedy removal of all that prevents the advent of the heavenly Jerusalem (Revelation 19:11-21)—Israel's parousia, the destruction of the antichrist kings and nations, the casting of the beast and false prophet into a lake of Fire, and the binding of Satan is an act of judgment, rather than a combat .
"And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness does He judge and make war".
"Heaven opening" signifies the revelation to Israel under the Sixth Seal which they "see" after the midst of the seventieth week (Matthew 24:29-30; Acts 1:11; II Thessalonians 1:7-10).
"His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: (This blood is that of the beast and his image already slain by Christ (Revelation 17:14 – 18:24; Isaiah 34:2-6; 63:1-6); and His Name is called The Word of God".
"And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations (Moses and Elijah, cursing the earth and the harlot church—Revelation 19:15 is Revelation 11:5): and He shall rule them with a rod of iron (at the White Throne Judgment): and He treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS' .
The announcement of Revelation 19:1-9 was only anticipatory, of Israel's parousia; because first must come Armageddon and the binding of Satan (Revelation 19:11-20:3). The sixfold purpose of Revelation 6:1-19:21 is fulfilled, when the joy of the redeemed 144,000 recognizing the King and Queen returning anoints the Most Holy, the Millennium Temple whereof the Bride is made a pillar (Revelation 3:11-12).
Jesus spoke of His body as being the Temple of God (John 2:19-21). But as we are His Body: the true Church is the Temple of God by the Holy Spirit within us (I Corinthians 3:16-17). He is making the overcomer a pillar in that Temple, and a pillar is actually a part of the foundation for it supports the superstructure. That puts the overcomer right in with the apostles and prophets, for it says in Ephesians 2:19-22, "Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone; In Whom all the building fitly framed together grows unto an holy temple in the Lord: In Whom you also are built together for a habitation of God through the Spirit." Everything went through the DOOR, Jesus, and is a part of that Body or Temple.
In Exodus 25-31, Moses was shown a "pattern" for the Tabernacle (Heb. "tabnit"); as was Solomon for his temple (I Chronicles 28:11-19). Not only is this word absent in Ezekiel 40-42, but nothing is said of how it is to be built according to this description. The temple is "INSTRUCTED" again to Israel's true seed through the ministry of Moses and Elijah, to separate the profane. The temple entrances and gates symbolize who shall and shall not meet the requirements of God's election and no-one outside the Covenant community is granted admission (Romans 11:23-25; Revelation 11:1-3; 15:1-8). Only in the vision did this marvelous Temple exist; it was a sign of the restored Theocracy, and God's Presence in their midst. The City and Temple Ezekiel saw in the vision were without people—just SYMBOLS in a series of visions. It is not presented just in the heavenly realm as a model; it is already there in the Land of Israel .
The Water of Life flows from Jehovah's immediate Presence, symbolizing paradise regained, the restitution of all things spoken by the mouth of all God's holy prophets (Ezekiel 47:1-2, 8-9; Joel 3:18; Zechariah 13:1; 14:8; John 7:37; Revelation 22:1). Because "God is there", the Temple becomes a spring of life, welling up and spreading beyond the Sanctuary. The blessings of God's blessings in the City cannot be confined to that one place and bring life out of death. Whereas once the Most Holy was in the heavens, now God dwells with and in His people, Israel.nl1347.htm
