The Third Day and the LORD's Return
It seems the LORD showed us a shadow of the New Covenant Second Coming of Christ through the Old Testament scripture where Moses sanctified the people of Israel for two days until the trumpet of the LORD called them up to meet the LORD on His Holy Mountain. Just as Christ will bring His people up to see the Father on the morning of the Third Day (3rd Century), at the sound of the last Trump! This is atleast what I am making an argument for, and I think there is some interesting points of scripture that supports the idea!
This teaching is inspired by a recent video by James Smith, link at the bottom of the article.
Moses - A Shadow of Christ
Moses was the man that God chose to establish the Old Covenant with Israel, the children of promise which is Abraham's seed. Jesus is God in the flesh, the Messiah, who was born a virgin and brought in the New Covenant to both the Jews and Gentiles. Both are mediators of a covenant between man and God.
In the Old Testament, the children of Israel were made clean by the animal sacrifices according to the Levitical Priesthood and keeping the law and teachings of Moses given to him by God (YHVH). On the other hand, the Christians, who are the seed of Israel by faith, are made clean by the blood of Jesus and the word that He delivered unto us from God (YHVH) through the gospels and His Apostle's letters (New Testament Bible). Both covenants sealed by the blood of the innocent and the keeping of the commandments of the LORD.
The First Covenant
Here we see that the shedding of blood was issued to seal the Covenant of Moses that was received on Mount Sinai:
- Hebrews 9:19-22 KJV - For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, [20] Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. [21] Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. [22] And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
While the first covenant was for the Nation of Israel, and contained the law, the Israelites were told of a better covenant to come. From the Old Testament scriptures, we see Prophet Jeremiah spoke of a New Covenant and that it would even shine unto the Gentiles:
- Jeremiah 31:31-36 KJV - Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: [32] Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord : [33] But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. [34] And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord : for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord : for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. [35] Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name: [36] If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
In Roman's 9-11, we see because Israel did not recieve their Messiah, even after He rose from the dead, they were cut off and the New Covenant went to the Gentiles. This is alluded to here:
- Malachi 1:11 KJV - For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts.
* We read that in Romans 11, Israel was broken off the vine because of unbelief in the Messiah. Yet, God has a plan of reconciliation for them in Daniel's 70th week.

The New Covenant
Jesus Christ who is the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29), shed His blood to establish the New Testament, the New Covenant that we Christians are under:
- 1 Corinthians 11:25 KJV - After the same manner also he (Jesus) took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it , in remembrance of me.
Jesus told us that we are clean by the word that He preached to us, if we remain obedient and faithful:
- John 15:3 KJV - Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
- Ephesians 5:25-27 KJV — Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Parallels
The Old Testament was often a shadow or a pattern of the New Testament, and below try to outline the parallels between Moses and Yeshua Jesus.
Abraham's seed was held captive by Egyptian rulers (Satan's children) for 400 years. When God sent Moses to deliver the promised seed of Abraham, a commandment was sent forth for all Israelites to kill a lamb as atonement for their sin and for a covering from the wrath of God (YHVH).
- Exodus 12:5-14 KJV - Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: [6] And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. [7] And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. [8] And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. [9] Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof. [10] And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. [11] And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the Lord's passover. [12] For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord . [13] And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are : and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you , when I smite the land of Egypt. [14] And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
An atonement sacrifice had to be made for forgiveness of our sins, and this is why Jesus told the people of Israel this:
- John 6:53-57 KJV - Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. [54] Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
Jesus was saying that He was the Passover Lamb and that His body and blood was to be sacrificed for us just as Isaiah prophesied in Isaiah 53.
- John 6:55 KJV - For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. [56] He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. [57] As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
It seems that just as the Children of Israel were brought out of Egypt by Moses the Mediator and Testator of the Old Covenant, so did Jesus Yeshua the Mediator and Testator of the New Covenant bring His believers out of the metaphoric Egypt, which is the world and the power of Satan, by the blood He shed for us on the cross about two thousand years ago (John 3:16).
Acts 2:38 KJV
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
The Childen of Israel were brought out of Egypt through the Red Sea, which I believe is a shadow of the blood of Christ and the baptism of repentance found in the New Testament.
- 1 Corinthians 10:1-11 KJV - Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; [2] And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; [3] And did all eat the same spiritual meat; [4] And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. [5] But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. [6] Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. [7] Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. [8] Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. [9] Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. [10] Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. [11] Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
The Christians after having recieved the sacrifice of the Lamb of God Yeshua Jesus (Isaiah 53, 2 Corinthians 5:19), and the baptism of Repentance (Acts 2:38), are now wandering through the desert wilderness of this life until we cross over mortality and reach the Promised Land - either by death as a Christian, or the rapture. We will cross over the waters above just as the Israelites crossed over the Jordan.
- Hebrews 12:22-24 KJV - But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, [23] To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, [24] And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
- Revelation 7:9-12 KJV - After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; [10] And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. [11] And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, [12] Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
It is important to understand that just because we have accepted Christ as the Messiah and have been water baptized and recieved His Spirit that does not mean we are going to enter the Promised Land. We must walk carefully according to the commands of Jesus and work out our salvation in fear and trembling, knowing that many Israelites were destroyed in the wilderness desert for their rebellion and sinful ways. Here is an article that speaks more on this:
The Children of Israel ate manna from Heaven, just as the Christians feast on Jesus and His words as He is the bread that came down from Heaven:
- John 6:47-51 KJV - Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. [48] I am that bread of life. [49] Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. [50] This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. [51] I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
It seems some Christians or Messianic Jews will enter the Promised Land not by the rapture but by going through the Tribulation period known as Daniel's 70th Week. We see that there are those who are not ready at the time of the rapture and they will have to be martyred for the LORD Jesus:
- Revelation 20:4-6 KJV - And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. [5] But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. [6] Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

From Mount Sinai to Mount Zion
* It seems Mount Sinai is a shadow of God's Kingdom in Heaven which I believe is referenced as His Holy Mountain, meaning His Holy Kingdom.
In Hebrews 12, we see the connection between mount Sinai that Moses brought the Children of Israel to, and mount Sion, the city of the living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem:
- Hebrews 12:18-24 KJV - For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, [19] And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: [20] (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: [21] And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) [22] But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, [23] To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, [24] And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
In Exodus 19, Yahweh the Most High God warned Moses and the children of Israel that if any one tries to ascend to the Mountain of God (Sinai) without permission or invitation, they would be killed on the spot. Mount Sinai was only a shadow of the Mountain of Yahweh in Heaven, and if we try to go up to His mountain any other way but by the leading of Yeshua according to the New Testament and His Spirit, we will be destroyed without mercy. For we are all unclean and sin stained and it is only by the blood of Yeshus Jesus that we have forgiveness of sins, and peace with Yahweh the Father.
- Hebrews 12:25-29 KJV — See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire.
We see Apostle Paul also presents a metaphor below which relates Hagar the Mother of Ishmael to the bondage of law of Moses given at Mount Sinai. Whereas Sarai the mother of Isaac was a freewoman and represents the covenant recieved by Christ from Heavently Sion.
- Galatians 4:21-31 KJV — Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband. Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
Moses came down from Sinai with a covenant of bondage, while Jesus came down from Heavenly Jerusalem with a New Covenant that gives us freedom in Him. Those who were in Moses were in bondage, but those who are in Christ are led by the Spirit and free from the covenant of circumcision.
Moses and The Third Day
Before Moses recieved the law at Sinai, we see in the below passage that Moses was told to first sanctify (clean) the children of Israel for two days, and then the LORD would meet them on THE THIRD DAY.
- Exodus 19:10-11 KJV - And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, [11] And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
We know from the second book of Peter, that one day can be seen as a thousand years. Perhaps this was a clue to understanding the hidden or hard to see prophecy of THE THIRD DAY.
- 2 Peter 3:8-9 KJV - 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. [9] The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2 Peter 3 speaks of the Day of the Lord coming as a thief in the night to an evil and unbelieving world. Therefore, the two thousand years being as two days is being tied to the start of Daniel's 70th Week.
Exodus 19:10-12 could be a hidden prophesy of Jesus returning under the New Covenant after two thousand years (Two Days). I suppose the "day" could have began at the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus the Messiah anywhere from 27-33 AD, based on historical contentions. Although, the start of the day could begin on Pentecost when the church was born and the Holy Spirit was poured out.
• April 27-33 AD - First Day Began
• April 1027-1033 AD - Second Day Began
• April 2027- 2033 AD - Millennial Kingdom Begins?
It seems the LORD Jesus and the Father will soon meet with His people perhaps at the beginning of the Third Day (Third Century From New Covenant).
* “A.D.” stands confusingly for a Latin phrase "Anno Domini" meaning “in the year of the Lord” — the year Jesus was born.
The Third Day - New Covenant Connection?
The Exodus 19 scripture could be aon foreshadowing of how Jesus made the people of the New Covenant (Christians) clean by His blood shed for our sins and the word He preached to us, if we keep His words and obey. Those Christians over the last two thousand years or two days perhaps will be called up and brought to Mount Sion, the Heavenly Jerusalem, by Jesus with a shout, a trumpet call on the morning of the THIRD DAY?!
- Hosea 6:2 KJV - After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
This Hosea 6:2 scripture could be hinting at the rapture as described in these New Testament passages:
- 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 KJV - For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: [17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
- 1 Corinthians 15:52-53 KJV - In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. [53] For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
- Revelation 12:5 KJV - 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.
Also, this Old Testament passage may be hinting that the Christian Church remnant (Revelation 3:10) being delivered in the rapture before the travail of Zion - meaning Daniel's 70th week:
- Isaiah 66:7-8 KJV - Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. [8] Who hath heard such a thing? who hath 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.
Third Day - Second Coming?
The Third Day could also be speaking of the actual return of the Messiah when He touches down on the earth after Daniel's 70th Week (Zechariah 14, Revelation 19, Enoch 1).
Jesus Himself tells us in Matthew 24, that He will return after the great tribulation with the sound of a great trumpet:
- Matthew 24:29-31 KJV - Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: [30] And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. [31] And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Here we see that Jesus calls people from the earth:
- Mark 13:27 KJV - And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
It would make sense that the Third Day begins after the time of Jacob's trouble, the 70th week of Daniel, so that Christ would bring the raptured saints to meet the alive remnant of Israel who recieved the Messiah (Zechariah 12-13) who waited in Petra, and brought together with the resurrected Tribulation saints that were martyred. We see at His Second Coming, the Tribulation Saints are resurrected perhaps with a trumpet blast in order to fulfill His Milinneal Kingdom on earth:
- Revelation 20:4-5 KJV - And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. [5] But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Abraham And The Third Day
I speculate that the Book of Jasher, which appears to be the same Book of Jasher that is quoted twice in the Old Testament writings, gives us a hint of the Third Day under the New Covenant of Messiah. In the Book of Jasher, Chapter 23, Abraham is taking Isaac up to be a sacrifice to God, which is a shadow of Christ being the Lamb of God who was pierced for for our sins (Isaiah 53). On the Third Day of their journey, Abraham lifts up his eyes and sees the glory of Yahweh over the mountain. This I believe is a shadow of the coming glory of the Most High God on earth when the Son of God Yeshua Jesus returns to establish His Millennial Kingdom on earth after Daniel's 70th Week and He rules all nations with a Rod of Iron. The glory of Christ will be seen by all nations and all nations shall flow into it to pay respect to the Holy One of Israel.
- Jasher 23 - 41-45 And on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place at a distance which God had told him of. And a pillar of fire appeared to him that reached from the earth to heaven, and a cloud of glory upon the mountain, and the glory of the Lord was seen in the cloud. And Abraham said to Isaac, My son, dost thou see in that mountain, which we perceive at a distance, that which I see upon it? And Isaac answered and said unto his father, I see and lo a pillar of fire and a cloud, and the glory of the Lord is seen upon the cloud. And Abraham knew that his son Isaac was accepted before the Lord for a burnt offering.
We know in scripture that one day with the LORD is as a thousand years on the Earth - therefore we can assert that it has been two days since Christ Yeshua Jesus was crucified for our sins and to initiate the New Covenant. The Third Day of the New Covenant is soon approaching and with it comes the Millennial Kingdom of Christ in Jerusalem on Earth which has been spoken in times past by the prophets of Israel and the Apostles of Christ (Zechariah 14, Daniel 7, Psalm 2, Revelation 19-20, Isaiah 2, etc.).
The Third Day Begins 2027-2033?
Just as Moses brought the Children of Abraham up to God's earthly mountain on the third literal day, Jesus will bring the Children of the New Covenant (Christians) up to God's holy mountain on the third prophetic day. The third day could be the start of the third century (New Covenant Began 27-33 AD) from the time Jesus shed His blood on the cross and sanctified us with His word.
This start of the Third Century could be anywhere from 2027-2033 AD I suppose.
According to this Christian article (Click Here), Jesus was Crucified in April 27 AD, which in my opinion is quite possible as Passover is usually March or April.
• April 27-33 AD - First Day Began
• April 1027-1033 AD - Second Day Began
• April 2027- 2033 AD - Millennial Kingdom Begins?
If Jesus was Crucified in 27 AD, then that means the Second Day (2 Thousand Years) would be complete in 2027, which falls closely in line with the below the Fig Tree Generation timeline as well. This ofcourse would be after the 7 year Tribulation, so that means Jesus would return by April 2027, with a perhaps maximum return date of April 2033. Yet, it seems the minimum time He could return is 7 years from now, which would be April 2028-2033.
A 70 to 80 Year Generation?
Jesus Himself told us that the generation who sees the signs of Matthew 24, Luke 21, including the Parabel of the Fig Tree will not pass till all things are fulfilled:
In April 2018, Jerusalem celebrated their their 70th year anniversary after having been scattered abroad for nearly 2000 years and have returned. In Psalm 90:10, it is said 70-80 years may be considered a ”generation”.
- Matthew 24:32-34 KJV - Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: [33] So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. [34] Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Most Bible Scholars would agree that Israel is the Fig Tree who has been replanted in their land in May of 1948 for the coming forth of Daniel's 70th Week which appears will begin at any moment.
• May 1948 - Israel Replanted
• May 2018 - 70 Years as Nation
• May 2028 - 80 Years as Nation
It appears that the Fig Tree Generation would not end until Israel's 80th year is completed when Israel turns 81 on May 14, 2029. Therefore, it seems the 7 year tribulation (Daniel 9:27) should begin by May 14, 2022, for all things to be completed that Jesus talked about in Matthew 24. This is of course if Jesus was hinting at the Psalms 90:10 generation for Israel in the last days, which is a generation of 70-80 years if by reason of strength. After the travail of Zion in Daniel's 70th Week, the labour day, then a Man-Child will come forth and rule all nations with a Rod of Iron which ofcourse speaks of Jesus returning to Jerusalem and establishing His 1000 Year Kingdom with the body of Christ and old Testament saints (Zech. 14, Revelation 19-20, Enoch 1, Psalms 2).
This means that the Pre-Tribulation rapture (1 Corinthians 15:52) is MOMENTS away including the great deception that comes upon the entire world (2 Thessalonians 2), and the revealing of the AntiChrist and his One World Order (Revelation 13-14).
Israel the Fig Tree is soon to see Daniel's 70th week and Jesus' return. Please note these are theoretical years, as I do not know when the count began for sure, and if God is using the Hebrew calendar or solar calendar regarding this prophecy.
Seeing now that Israel is the Fig Tree and that the Fig Tree generation shall not pass until all things are fulfilled, we should be alarmed to know that we are that generation and Daniel's 70th week is soon to begin! This is the first time in 2000 years that Israel is back in the land and the conditions are aligned to bring forth the Third Temple, Daily Sacrifices, and the Daniel 9:27 Peace Deal with the AntiChrist:
• Two State Solution
* Some Jews in Israel believe the Messiah is soon to come and are very close to rebuild the Third Temple in Jerusalem:
• Third Temple Updates
• Red Heifer
• Two State Solution
Acts 2:17 Dream
* Some Jews in Israel believe the Messiah is soon to come and are very close to rebuild the Third Temple in Jerusalem:
• Third Temple Updates
• Red Heifer

The 7th Day - The Deliverance & Destruction
In the Book of Joshua, we see that he commands the priests and Israelites to circle around Joshua for six days until the trumpet is blown and the city of Jericho is taken. This could be a foreshadow of the day of Judgment and the return of Christ on the morning of the prophetic 7th day (7000 year).
- 2 Peter 3:7-8 KJV — But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 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.
It is believed by many scholars that from Adam to Yeshua Jesus it was 4000 years, and from Yeshua Jesus until now it has been almost 2000 years, which makes a total of 6000 years, which is also seen as 6 days.
We see on the 7th Day, Joshua sounds the trumpets and destroys Jericho, which could symbolize the rapture of the Gentile Bride of Christ and the destruction of the world with the 4 horsemen and the rest of the 7 seals, 7 trumpet, and 7 bowl judgments of Revelation:
- Rahab Full Article
- Joshua 6:1-5 KJV — Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour. And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days. And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets. And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.
Third Day - Millennial Kingdom
Also, we see that God commanded that no one touches His physical mountain before the third day. This could perhaps mean that no one can enter the Third Heavens, God's Holy Mount Sion, until He calls us up with a trumpet call, which could be alluding to the rapture (catching up) of the faithful Christians or the return of Jesus an Him bringing His Holy Mountain to the earth for 1000 years:
- Exodus 19:12-14 KJV - And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death: [13] There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
It said throughout the new testament that no one knows the day or hour of the return of Jesus, meaning the rapture most likely, yet we are commanded to watch:
- Matthew 25:13 KJV - Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
- Mark 13:32 KJV - But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
Rapture Speculation
Some people speculate that the rapture could be on Yom Teruah, also known as the Feast of Trumpets. This is the 5th Jewish Holy Day that God commanded the people of Israel to observe in Levticus 23. It seems as though Jesus fulfilled the first four Feast Days with His death, burial, resurrection, and pouring out of the Holy Spirit.
1. Passover - Death - Lamb of God
2. Unleavened Bread - Burial - Without Sin
3. First Fruits - Resurrection - First of Many
4. Pentecost - Holy Spirit - New Covenant
It is thought that Jesus could call His people up to Heaven on Yom Teruah, the Feast of Trumpets, on the appointed year as His voice is as the voice of a Trumpet.
- Exodus 19:16 KJV - And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.
The rapture of the church is said to be with the trump of God (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). This is the scripture on the Feast of Trumpets and is the first of the fall holy days:
- Leviticus 23:23-24 KJVS - And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, [24] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
While it seems luring to expect the rapture to be on a Feast of Trumpets celebration, it is best not to make any assumptions or try to predict the day Jesus will take us up in the rapture.
For more information on the Holy Days, please see my article:
• Moedims - A Shadow
To see an article why the rapture occurs around 7 years prior to Jesus' second coming, His return to Earth, please click the below link:
The below passage seems to be alluding or foreshadowing the return of Christ when Jesus will return with great power and glory on the Mount of Olives perhaps on THE THIRD DAY.
- Exodus 19:14-22 KJV - And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes. [15] And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives. [16] And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled. [17] And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. [18] And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. [19] And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice. [20] And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up. [21] And the Lord said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the Lord to gaze, and many of them perish. [22] And let the priests also, which come near to the Lord , sanctify themselves, lest the Lord break forth upon them.
This time when Father God (YHVH) met with His people on Earth under the old Covenant seems to be a pattern of Jesus Christ returning to Earth in Jerusalem under the New Covenant:
- Zechariah 14:1-4 KJV - Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. [2] 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. [3] Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. [4] 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.
To understand how Israel the nation will be saved during the Day of the LORD, the Tribulation period, please see my article:
THE THIRD DAY can also refer to the 1000 year Millinneal Kingdom that Jesus will establish on Earth after His Second Coming:

7/14/19 - I heard the LORD speak into my spirit "Rapture on the Third Day" in the early morning. I didn't know what it meant but later I "stumbled" across this video of a brother James Smith who teaches a lot of the same things I do:
Rapture on the Third Day
The Messiah Is Here!?
July 31, 2020 - Breaking Israel News website published another article about the Messiah soon appearing in Israel to save them. Yet, this seems to be another False Prophet who is setting up Israel to recieve the AntiChrist figure of Daniel's 70th Week. This is because they have rejected Yeshua Jesus as the true Messiah and are in part blinded until the fullness of the Gentiles (Romans 11).
- Romans 11:25-27 KJV - For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. [26] And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: [27] For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
In his book Siach Nechama (Discourse of Comfort), Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky writes that the Messiah lives and is with us right now, and the redemption is ready and waiting. When Israel merits it. The Messiah will be revealed and redeem them immediately.
Also, Rabbi Kanievsky often mentions the words of the Gemara in Tractate Ketubot that “a generation that the [Messiah] son of David comes is critical of the disciples of sages.”
“In this generation, there is much persecution and hatred of Torah scholars. It seems that in recent years, in particular, we see that all the signs mentioned in the Gemara have been fulfilled, and we look forward at any moment to the coming of the Messiah, if God wills it,” Rabbi Kanievsky said.
Recent Focus on Israel
If anyone has watched the news in 2020 they would see that the international spotlight was on Israel and the Mid-East. Recently Prime Minister of Israel Netanyahu who is fighting to keep his political position, has been promising the Annexation of the West Bank, to add pockets of land to Israeli Sovereignty. This However, has led to a spark in conflict between Israel and the Palistinians as well as Iran and other Arab Muslim Nations.
Afterwards, we saw how Israel in working with the United States President Donald Trump and his administration, has worked out a peace deal with the UAE since the Palistian-Israel negotiations were on hold. Afterwards, we have seen many news reports of other Muslim Arab Nations seeking to establish peace with Israel through the Trump Administration such as with Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and others. We also see that Serbia and Kosovo in September 2020 decided to commit to peace negotiations with the USA and Israel.
However, many of these Gulf Arab Nations have recieved backlash from the Palestinians and the Iranians for trying to make peace with Israel without securing the Palistinian State first, which seems to only put more pressure on Israel to cave in to accepting a Two State Solution with a Palestinian Capital in East Jerusalem and no land Annexation for Israel in the West Bank. This will break the everlasting covenant given from God YHVH to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel) and his seed forever, and according to Zechariah 12:3 all parties involved will be cut into pieces, including the United States who is at the forefront of these "peace" negotiations.
I suspect that all of these peace negotiations surrounding Israel and the Mid-East countries are setting the stage for the rise of the AntiChrist who will be seen as a false Savior to the Jews and Muslims and establish a better and improved peace covenant with Israel and many for one week, meaning seven years. It is my belief that President Trump's efforts to make peace in the region will only lead to sudden destruction and the desolation of America, making way for the AntiChrist to rise from the ashes as the White Horse rider who is given a Crown (Dominon) and a Bow (Covenant) as prophesied in Revelation 6.

The Remnant of Israel - Daniel's 70th Week
An interesting note is that Revelation 12 tells us the Woman, a representation of Israel the nation, will flee into the wilderness for three and a half years. This is supported by the verses in Matthew 24 after the Abomination of Desolation, which is the final half of Daniel's 70th week:
- Revelation 12:13-14 KJV - And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. [14] And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
* It is commonly understood that a "time" is one year, and "times" is two years, and a "half a time" is half a year. This makes three and half years the same as 42 months.
In the Book of Zechariah, after the Holy Spirit is poured out in Jerusalem I believe in Daniel's 70th week (Zechariah 12), a remnant will be saved and purified (Zechariah 13). It is said that one third of Israel will be spared, and it seems that thus verse in Micah 5:2 speaks of the remnant being delivered at the return of Jesus the Messiah:
- Micah 2:12-13 KJV - I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men. [13] The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord on the head of them.
From a Christian source, it is proposed that Bozrah is a reference to Petra - the rock enclave in which the remnant of Israel will flee to (Matthew 24:15-21) after the Abomination of Desolation takes place in the Third Temple (2 Thessalonians 2). It seems they will wait there until Jesus returns to destroy the AntiChrist and False Prophet and break up the wolves surrounding Israel as shepherd with His rod (Revelation 19-20):
"Jesus is clearly teaching about the sheepcote and how the shepherd places himself in the only door opening to protect the sheep from the enemy. In Hebrew Bozrah means “the sheep of the fold” and describes the place the Jews will flee to in the days to come according the God’s Word. Today in wilderness of southern Jordan is a tock fortress surrounded by harsh rugged mountains called Petra, the Roman name for “The Rock.” The ancient Nabateans conquered the Edomites and created a treasure city with incredible temples and altars into the red rock to worship their pagan gods and goddesses. The only entrance into this great city hidden in the clefts of the rock is through a very narrow passage called the Siq, which is several long winding through a narrow passage with walls over 500 ft high….Petra is the perfect picture of a sheepcote!"
This passage of scripture from Isaiah seems to speak to the battle at Bozrah and the redemption of the nation of Israel in Daniel's 70th Week:
- Isaiah 34:1-10 KJV — Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it. For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter. Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood. And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree. For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment. The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea. And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness. For it is the day of the LORD'S vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion. And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch. It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
The Name of the False Messiah to be Revealed!
11/15/2020 - Israel Today reported that Rabbi Nir Ben-Artzi, told Israelis that God is ready to reveal the name of the Messiah (AntiChrist), and urged the people to “be in unity” and “get ready!” This means that the AntiChrist will soon appear in Israel and confirm the covenant with many or peace Deal with Israel and many nations, according to Daniel 9:27.
"The rabbi pointed to the disunity in the Israeli government and stressed that this is the appointed time for the people to call out for Messiah and the return of the Sanhedrin, the council of sages that oversaw Jewish life in ancient times.
“Ask for the Messiah and the Sanhedrin,” preached Ben-Artzi, “the Messiah will come soon to stop the plague and the Gentiles around us from harming the Land of Israel.”
Earlier this year, Ben-Artzi urged Jews still living in the Diaspora to return to Israel in preparation for the Messiah’s arrival."
Making Way For the AntiChrist
December 1, 2020 - It appears that the temporary coalition government between Benjamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz is soon to be dissolved. This could be a ploy of Satan to leave an opening in Israel for the AntiChrist to appear as a Savior just as the Kabbalah Rabbis Kaduri and Shoshani have prophesied falsely in order to decieve Israel into recieving the AntiChrist as their Messiah.
12/1/2020 - "Blue and White party leader and Defense Minister Benny Gantz said Tuesday that he can no longer support the government headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and his party will vote to dissolve the Knesset and call early elections.
Describing the government’s behavior as “disgusting” in a prime-time televised address, Gantz accused Netanyahu of lying to the public when he agreed to form a unity coalition between Likud and Blue and White, and when he promised to give up the premiership in 2021."
Kabbalah Jewish Prophecy
This article shows how Israel is fighting for a stable Government, yet it seems they are headed for a Fourth Election in 2021 after years of failed attempts.
Sept. 2019 - Recently Netanyahu came out publically and said he will not be able to form a new Governmenf in Israel, after getting the greenlight from President Rivlin.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-09-28/netanyahu-will-return-mandate-to-rivlin-jerusalem-post-says
This means that there is no formal Government in Israel at this moment (september 2019). In a recent Jpost.com article, it is said that the late Mystic Kabbalist Rabbi (Satanic Judaism) predicted in his youth this very scenario with Israel and that God will decide in the Heavenly realm. (Note - This is probably a satanic prophesy to usher in the appearing of the AntiChrist):
"Kaduri reportedly wrote in And He Swore to Isaac, a "hidden book" that was recently found in the Kabbalistic school of Nahalat Yitzhak, that "On the eve of the year 5780 (the upcoming Hebrew year), the year of corrections, there will not be a government in Israel for an extended period and the various camps will be quarrel much without a decision on either side, and then, on Rosh Hashana (the Jewish new year) itself, they will fight in heaven, the holy side against the side of evil, and G-d and His entourage will decide between them. And this is all I can say, and from here I swore not to reveal more secrets and hidden things."
https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.jpost.com/Israel-News/Netanyahu-Gantz-impasse-predicted-in-hidden-manuscript-of-leading-mystic-602670/amp
Later in the Article another Mystic Jewish Rabbi (Kabbalist) predicts this scenario with even more detail and that it means the Messiah (the AntiChrist) is soon to appear in Israel within a few Sabbaths. It seems these False Rabbis are being used by Satan to prepare the nation to recieve the False Messiah.
"The statements by Kaduri also reference excerpts from the ancient book The Covenant of the Persimmon by kabbalist Rabbi Sasson Hai Shoshani, who Kaduri said was known as "The prophet of Egypt." Shoshani said, "There will come on the day that two ministers win the government in the land of Israel. Both their names will be Benjamin and neither of them will succeed in establishing their government or kingship.
"On that day, know and understand that the King Messiah already stands at the doorway and on the Sabbath afterwards he will come and be revealed," Shoshani's statement continues. "Understand this and remember it.'"
* My conjecture - Again, this prophecy is from the enemy Satan and his camp and is most likely a ploy to persuade the people to accept the AntiChrist, and it is possible that it could happen soon with all of the signs in Israel and the world.
The Davidic Dynasty And False Messiah?
January 2021 - As America seems to be crumbling from the inside out, Israeli Rabbis are now suggesting that this is to make way for their Messiah and his Davidic Dynasty, yet Bible prophecy indicates the Jewish Leaders will recieve the AntiChrist and not the true Messiah Yeshua Jesus in Daniel's 70th Week.
The Article suggests that most European Kings were linked to the bloodline of King David, and that a coming global Order would only work if the world nations hold to their Noahide Laws, which are not Bibilcal. The Rabbis suggest the nations of the world take authority under their coming Messiah, which I believe is the AntiChrist, the White Horse Rider of Revelation 6 and peacemaker of Daniel 9:27.
https://www.israel365news.com/164300/as-american-democracy-collapses-groundwork-laid-for-messiah-with-davidic-dynasty-registry/
“It is clear that the solution is a return of the Davidic dynasty,” Katz told Israel365 News. “the solution cannot come from within democracy because that is not a Biblical concept. A king from the Davidic dynasty will be the conduit for God’s kingship to spread out into the world. It is not a form of global control. It is how rulers will learn how to rule their nations ‘under God.’”

Here is a somewhat comprehensive list of some major indicators that the AntiChrist will soon appear with a Daniel 9:27 covenant which will allow Israel to rebuild their Holy Temple and restart the daily animal sacrifices for 3.5 years until the Abomination of Desolation (2 Thess 2:3-4). Updates sourced from the following document:
• Israel Is Expecting (GoogleDocs)
1/20/2021 - According to Israel 365, a Jewish news website, various Rabbis in Israel are now predicting the fall of American Democracy will make way for the Messiah (AntiChrist) to establish a global Order under the Davidic Dynasty and the unbilical 7 Noahide Laws.
11/15/2020 - Israel Today reported that Rabbi Nir Ben-Artzi, told Israelis that God is ready to reveal the name of the Messiah (AntiChrist), and urged the people to “be in unity” and “get ready!” This means that the AntiChrist will soon appear in Israel and confirm the covenant with many, the Daniel 9:27 peace deal, to begin the final 7 year tribulation period before the true Messiah Jesus Christ brings His Kingdom to earth. 7/31/2020 - The Breaking Israel News website published another article about the Messiah soon appearing in Israel to save them. Yet, this seems to be another False Prophet Rabbi who is setting up Israel to recieve the AntiChrist figure of Daniel's 70th Week (Daniel 9:27). This is because they have rejected Yeshua Jesus as the true Messiah and are in part blinded until the fullness of the Gentiles (Romans 11).
7/17/ 2020 - As Israeli mobs protest against Netanyahu, and the Government seems to be falling apart, the pressure is on to either annex the West Bank or make another deal to divide God's Holy Land. At the same time, BreakingIsrealNews.com reports on Israeli Jews are looking to bake the Show-Bread for the Third Temple in which will be built in Daniel's 70th week under the false peace deal of the AntiChrist (Daniel 9:27). Time is O so short.
3/21/2020 - Israel’s Health Minister Yaakov Litzman is expecting the Messiah (AntiChrist) to appear in Jerusalem before Passover 2020 (April 7th), to save Israel as God saved the children of Egypt from the 10 plagues. This is setting the stage for the covenant with the AntiChrist (Daniel 9:27).
2/27/2020 - It seems for the first time in 2000 years, the Jews could sacrifice their Passover Lamb on the Temple Mount according to Trump's "Peace Deal" which seems will be confirmed or strengthened by the AntiChrist (Daniel 9:27). Daily animal sacrifices will begin again in Daniel's 70th week, and it seems it is moments away!
2/23/2020 - A well known Rabbi Lippo is calling for the building of the New Jewish Temple in Jerusalem as an offering to God to end the Coronavirus.
2/18/2020 - Breaking Israel News (.com) published an article regarding Mystic Rabbi Zissholtz, who explained that he had been charged hidden righteous men to break his silence and to begin informing the public of the imminent arrival of the Messiah (the AntiChrist).
2/11/2020 - Abbas and Olmert go outside the Trump and Netanyahu "Peace Deal of the Century" in order to usher in a Palistinian State. This is after Palistinians and Israelis are at large unhappy with the terms of the agreements. This is in line with a Prophecy Club prophetic word received by Stan's wife.
1/28/2020 - Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu publicly announced the Two State Solution at the US White house to establish a Two State Solution and give East Jerusalem over for a Palestinian State Capital, and double their land in the heart of Israel. According to Zechariah 12:3, America will be cut to pieces.
Both the Jews and the Palistians are against this proposed "Deal of the Century" peace plan and the United Nations seeks to help the discord. This is setting the stage for the AntiChrist (False Savior) to appear in Jerusalem and confirm or strengthen the "covenant" for one week (7 years) to begin Daniel's 70th Week. (Daniel 9:27).
12/4/2019 - Gil Hoffman, chief political correspondent and analyst for the Jerusalem Post, and Rabbi Stewart Weiss, a frequent columnist for the Jerusalem Post, proposes that the Messiah will return before the Third Israeli Election around March 2020.
The stage is being set for the AntiChrist to appear as a False Savior and confirm the Daniel 9:27 covenant or "peace deal" with Israel and other nations for Daniel's 70th week, the final 7 year period!
12/12/19 - Jews begin to pray on Temple Mount amidst tensions with Palestinian groups.
12/2019 - Third Election for Israel Government set for March 2020, leaving an opening for the AntiChrist and the San Hedrin Government to confirm the Daniel 9:27 peace deal.

8/2019 - The Temple Institute has released a new video regarding the 9th of Av as a time to call for the Third temple in Jerusalem. Also see the Temple Coin.
This is the Fig Tree Generation (Matthew 24:32) that Jesus spoke about as being a sign of the last generation that will see His return. This generation will bring in Daniel's 70th Week where Israel will restore the Levitical Priesthood and daily animal sacrifices, make a deal with the Devil (AntiChrist), rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem for the Abomination of Desolation and usher in great Tribulation - Moments away!!
Jesus the true Messiah (Isaiah 53) returns at the End of Daniel's 70th Week, the final 7 year period, and the AntiChrist comes first as the False Savior!
Daniel 9:27 / Matthew 24:15-21 / Revelation 11 / 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 / Zechariah 12-14
The Battle of Armageddon
The Bible tells us both in the Old Testament (Jewish Tanakh) and New Testament that the LORD God Almighty will defend Israel in the last days and make Himself known among all the nations, that He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This is known as the Battle of Armageddon when the Lord Jesus returns to defeat the AntiChrist, the False Prophet, and all the nations gathered against Israel (see Revelation 19) at the end of Daniel's 70th Week. These chapters all seems to be speaking of the Battle of Armageddon:
• Joel 3
• Zechariah 14
• Isaiah 34
• Isaiah 63
• Revelation 19
It seems that this Battle of Armageddon will take place in the valley of Jezreel or the Valley of Jehoshaphat. Here is an excerpt from Israelmybeloved.com:
The staging ground for the Battle of Armageddon – when all the nations line up and attack Israel in the end – might be in the Valley of Jezreel, but the target and focus of this war is Jerusalem – the City of the Great King. If this battle is to take place mainly in the Valley of Jehoshaphat, which begins in and around Jerusalem and descends to the Dead Sea Valley; and if this valley will turn into a river of blood whose length is 160 miles/257 km, then it will reach as far as Bozrah, which lies towards the southern end of the Dead Sea. This is remarkable, considering that Isaiah 63:1-6 describes the Lord – who in His wrath has tread these nations underfoot – as “the One coming from Bozrah; His garments stained with blood!”
Also, the Book of Revelation tells us that the final judgment, which is the 7th vial/bowl, will be poured out with regard to the valley of Armageddon:
- Revelation 16:16 KJV — And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
Extra-Biblical Texts and Daniel's 70th Week
It appears this extra-biblical book, which was included in the 1611 King James Apocrypha, is said to be attributed to the scribe Ezra of the Old Testament around the time of the captivity of Israel when the Temple was destroyed. It appears, this prophecy could be in relation to the judgment coming upon the whole world in Daniel's 70th Week:
- 2 Esdras 15 (KJVA Apocrypha) - 14 Woe to the world and them that dwell therein! 15 For the sword and their destruction draweth nigh, and one people shall stand up and fight against another, and swords in their hands. 16 For there shall be sedition among men, and invading one another; they shall not regard their kings nor princes, and the course of their actions shall stand in their power. 17 A man shall desire to go into a city, and shall not be able. 18 For because of their pride the cities shall be troubled, the houses shall be destroyed, and men shall be afraid. 19 A man shall have no pity upon his neighbour, but shall destroy their houses with the sword, and spoil their goods, because of the lack of bread, and for great tribulation. 20 Behold, saith God, I will call together all the kings of the earth to reverence me, which are from the rising of the sun, from the south, from the east, and Libanus; to turn themselves one against another, and repay the things that they have done to them. 21 Like as they do yet this day unto my chosen, so will I do also, and recompense in their bosom. Thus saith the Lord God; 22 My right hand shall not spare the sinners, and my sword shall not cease over them that shed innocent blood upon the earth. 23 The fire is gone forth from his wrath, and hath consumed the foundations of the earth, and the sinners, like the straw that is kindled. 24 Woe to them that sin, and keep not my commandments! saith the Lord. 25 I will not spare them: go your way, ye children, from the power, defile not my sanctuary. 26 For the Lord knoweth all them that sin against him, and therefore delivereth he them unto death and destruction. 27 For now are the plagues come upon the whole earth and ye shall remain in them: for God shall not deliver you, because ye have sinned against him.
In the Book of 1 Enoch, known also as Ethiopian Enoch, is said to be verified by the Dead Sea Scrolls found in the West Bank of Israel and is supposed to be attributed to the writing of the era of the Second Temple. Yet, the Book of Jude, which quotes directly from the first chapter of 1 Enoch, says that this is a Prophecy from Enoch the 7th from Adam, and speaks of the last days generation and the judgment that will befall the entire world:
- Jude 1:14-15 KJV — And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
This passage from 1 Enoch could be speaking of the judgment to come in Daniel's 70th Week:
- 1 Enoch Chapter XCIX (99) - 4. In those days the nations shall be stirred up, And the families of the nations shall arise on the day of destruction. 5. And in those days the destitute shall go forth and carry off their children, And they shall abandon them, so that their children shall perish through them: Yea, they shall abandon their children (that are still) sucklings, and not return to them, And shall have no pity on their beloved ones. 6. And again I swear to you, ye sinners, that sin is prepared for a day of unceasing bloodshed. 7. And they who worship stones, and grave images of gold and silver and wood <and stone> and clay, and those who worship impure spirits and demons, and all kinds of idols not according to knowledge, shall get no manner of help from them. 8. And they shall become godless by reason of the folly of their hearts, And their eyes shall be blinded through the fear of their hearts And through visions in their dreams. 9. Through these they shall become godless and fearful; For they shall have wrought all their work in a lie, And shall have worshiped a stone: Therefore in an instant shall they perish. 10. But in those days blessed are all they who accept the words of wisdom, and understand them, And observe the paths of the Most High, and walk in the path of His righteousness, And become not godless with the godless; For they shall be saved 11. Woe to you who spread evil to your neighbours; For you shall be slain in Sheol. 12. Woe to you who make deceitful and false measures, And (to them) who cause bitterness on the earth; For they shall thereby be utterly consumed. 13. Woe to you who build your houses through the grievous toil of others, And all their building materials are the bricks and stones of sin; I tell you ye shall have no peace. 14. Woe to them who reject the measure and eternal heritage of their fathers And whose souls follow after idols; For they shall have no rest. 15. Woe to them who work unrighteousness and help oppression, And slay their neighbours until the day of the great judgement. 16. For He shall cast down your glory, And bring affliction on your hearts, And shall arouse His fierce indignation, And destroy you all with the sword; And all the holy and righteous shall remember your sins.
In the following Chapter of 1 Enoch, we see that people turn against their own sons and brothers and the blood reaches up to the Horse's breast:
- Enoch 1 Chapter C (100) - 1. And in those days in one place the fathers together with their sons shall be smitten And brothers one with another shall fall in death Till the streams flow with their blood 2 . For a man shall not withhold his hand from slaying his sons and his sons' sons, And the sinner shall not withhold his hand from his honoured brother: From dawn till sunset they shall slay one another. 3. And the horse shall walk up to the breast in the blood of sinners, And the chariot shall be submerged to its height. 4 In those days the angels shall descend into the secret places And gather together into one place all those who brought down sin And the Most High will arise on that day of judgement To execute great judgement amongst sinners. 5. And over all the righteous and holy He will appoint guardians from amongst the holy angels To guard them as the apple of an eye, Until He makes an end of all wickedness and all sin, And though the righteous sleep a long sleep, they have nought to fear. 6. And (then) the children of the earth shall see the wise in security, And shall understand all the words of this book, And recognize that their riches shall not be able to save them In the overthrow of their sins. 7. Woe to you, Sinners, on the day of strong anguish, Ye who afflict the righteous and burn them with fire: Ye shall be requited according to your works. 8. Woe to you, ye obstinate of heart, Who watch in order to devise wickedness: Therefore shall fear come upon you And there shall be none to help you. 9. Woe to you, ye sinners, on account of the words of your mouth, And on account of the deeds of your hands which your godlessness as wrought, In blazing flames burning worse than fire shall ye burn.
We also see in the Apocryphal Book of 2nd Esdras (Ezra), which was included with the 1611 King James Bible, seems to also speak of the great judgment at the end of this age, in which the blood will reach the horse's belly:
- 2 Esdras 15:34 - See the clouds from the east, and from the north to the south! Their appearance is exceedingly threatening, full of wrath and storm. 35 They shall clash against one another and shall pour out a heavy tempest on the earth, and their own tempest;[k] and there shall be blood from the sword as high as a horse’s belly 36 and a man’s thigh and a camel’s hock. 37 And there shall be fear and great trembling on the earth; those who see that wrath shall be horror-stricken, and they shall be seized with trembling. 38 After that, heavy storm clouds shall be stirred up from the south, and from the north, and another part from the west. 39 But the winds from the east shall prevail over the cloud that was[l] raised in wrath, and shall dispel it; and the tempest[m] that was to cause destruction by the east wind shall be driven violently toward the south and west. 40 Great and mighty clouds, full of wrath and tempest, shall rise and destroy all the earth and its inhabitants, and shall pour out upon every high and lofty place[n] a terrible tempest, 41 fire and hail and flying swords and floods of water, so that all the fields and all the streams shall be filled with the abundance of those waters. 42 They shall destroy cities and walls, mountains and hills, trees of the forests, and grass of the meadows, and their grain. 43 They shall go on steadily to Babylon and blot it out. 44 They shall come to it and surround it; they shall pour out on it the tempest[o] and all its fury;[p] then the dust and smoke shall reach the sky, and all who are around it shall mourn for it. 45 And those who survive shall serve those who have destroyed it.
In this passage from the Book of Revelation, written by John the Apostle of Jesus, we see a prophecy concerning the judgment coming upon the ungodly within Daniel's 70th week, known also as Jacob's Trouble. This chapter speaks about resisting the AntiChrist and his mark, and then proceeds to speak of the winepress of the wrath of God YHVH in which the blood reaches up to the horse bridles:
- Revelation 14:14-20 KJV — And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
We also observe that the "First Parable" (Chapter 38 of 1 Enoch) seems to speak of Christ's Second Coming:
- 1 Enoch - Chapter 38 - When the congregation of the righteous shall appear, And sinners shall be judged for their sins, And shall be driven from the face of the earth: 2 And when the Righteous One shall appear before the eyes of the righteous, Whose elect works hang upon the Lord of Spirits, And light shall appear to the righteous and the elect who dwell on the earth, Where then will be the dwelling of the sinners, And where the resting-place of those who have denied the Lord of Spirits? It had been good for them if they had not been born.
- 3 When the secrets of the righteous shall be revealed and the sinners judged, And the godless driven from the presence of the righteous and elect, 4 From that time those that possess the earth shall no longer be powerful and exalted: And they shall not be able to behold the face of the holy, For the Lord of Spirits has caused His light to appear On the face of the holy, righteous, and elect.
- 5 Then shall the kings and the mighty perishAnd be given into the hands of the righteous and holy. 6 And thenceforward none shall seek for themselves mercy from the Lord of Spirits For their life is at an end.
I believe the Book of Revelation also speaks of the judgment of Daniel's 70th Week in great detail beginning with the Four Horsemen:
• Four Horsemen of Apocalypse
The Four Horsemen will be given one fourth of the world's population to kill with hunger, war, and death in the beginning of the 7 year tribulation period (Revelation 6:1-8). This is only four of the 21 judgments of the Book of Revelation (7 Seals, 7 Trumpets, 7 Vials).
It appears that Isaiah the Prophet also foretold this terrible day of vengeance which seems to closely parallel that of Matthew 24 which I believe is the judgment just before and during Daniel's 70th Week:
- Isaiah 13:6-22 KJV — Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt: And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land. Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword. Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished. Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it. Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children. And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there. But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there. And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
* I am under the belief that the last days Babylon spoken of here is Mystery Babylon, the current superpower that is destroyed in one hour (see Revelation 18, Jeremiah 50-51). I believe that the USA is Mystery Babylon the great Harlot.

A New Heavens, A New Earth
- 2 Peter 3:3-14 KJV — Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 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. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
We understand from Genesis, that the days of Noah were so evil that God YHVH flooded the entire world and saved only Noah and his family by means of the Ark. Jesus tells us in Matthew 24, that the day of the YHVH will come when the earth is as the days of Noah, and I believe that time is now. The rapture event (1 Corinthians 15:52), I believe is a type of boarding the Ark where the remnant of Christ will abide safely in Heaven for 7 years until the new flood of judgements are over.
- Matthew 24:35-42 KJV — Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Jesus tells us two will be in the field and one taken, which seems to depict the rapture event of 1 Corinthians 15, where the dead in Christ and the remaining remnant are translated into heaven in an instant, before the terrible day of the Lord YHVH. Just as Lot and his family where spared from the fire and brimstone.
A scene similar to Matthew 24 was also written about by Isaiah in what some call the Little Apocalypse Book, which appears to speak of Daniel's 70th Week:
- Isaiah 24:17-23 KJV — Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake. The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited. Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.
We know that Jesus spoke this concerning His return after Daniel's 70th Week:
- Matthew 24:29-30 KJV — Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
This is another scripture portion that speaks of the sun being darkened, the moon to blood, the stars falling to the earth, and the heavens disappearing as a scroll being rolled up. This is during 7 year tribulation I believe:
- Revelation 6:12-17 KJV — And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
The Revelation 6 passage seems to be parallel to that of this Prophecy from Isaiah concerning the LORD's vengeance in Daniel's 70th Week:
- Isaiah 34:1-8 KJV — Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it. For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter. Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood. And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree. For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment. The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea. And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness. For it is the day of the LORD'S vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.
In Revelation 20, after Jesus returns we see that the Devil is locked in the bottomless pit while Christ and the Millennial Kingdom reigns from Israel. It is then said that Satan is released after the 1000 years to try all the inhabitants of the earth, and then comes another final Gog Battle, and then Satan is cast in the Lake of Fire with the rest of the ungodly people who are judged at the White Throne Judgment:
- Revelation 20:7-15 KJV — And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Matthew 24 tells us the Sun and Moon will become dark and the stars will fall from Heaven before Jesus returns, yet I suspect that the Heavens and Earth will be dissolved with fervent heat after the Millennial Kingdom and final Gog battle. Yet, I am still studying this subject. The Book of Revelation, written by Apostle John, also speaks about a New Heaven and a New Earth, which is perhaps after the Millennial Kingdom and the Great White Throne Judgment:
- Revelation 21:1-8 KJV — And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
We see below that Isaiah prophesied that a seed of Jacob, which Apostle Paul says in Galatians 3 refers to Christ Jesus and His followers either Jew or Gentile, will reside in the new Heavens and the New Earth:
- Isaiah 65:9-10 KJV — And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there. And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.
I believe that Jesus will rule in Jerusalem in His Millennial Kingdom as Lord of Lords and King of Kings, yet this scripture seems to speak of the New Heavens and New Earth after the Millennial Kingdom:
- Isaiah 66:22-24 KJV — For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD. And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
It appears that the expression of a fire not being quenched and a worm dying not is speaking about hell and eternal torment, and was alluded to by Jesus which is the Second Death eternal judgment after the Great White Throne Judgment (See Revelation 20):
- Mark 9:43-48 KJV — And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
* It is possible that the Light of Christ serves as the new Sun in the Millennial Kingdom until after the 1000 year reign where there is a final Gog battle against Israel when Satan in loosed. Then the final Great White Throne Judgment and then the new Heavens and the New Earth? (See Revelation 20-22).
In the Extra-Biblical Book of 1st Enoch, which is quoted by Jude in the New Testament and substantiated by the Dead Sea Scrolls, it appears as though Enoch saw what comes after the Great White Thrown Judgment. The text describes the world after the angels are cast into the Lake of Fire, which appears to be after the Millennial Kingdom according to Revelation 20:
- 1 Enoch Chapter X - 1. Then said the Most High, the Holy and Great One spake, and sent Uriel to the son of Lamech, and said to him: 2. ' Go to Noah and tell him in my name "Hide thyself!" and reveal to him the end that is approaching: that the whole earth will be destroyed, and a deluge is about to come upon the whole earth, and will destroy all that is on it. 3. And now instruct him that he may escape and his seed may be preserved for all the generations of the world.' 4. And again the Lord said to Raphael: 'Bind Azâzêl hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening in the desert, which is in Dûdâêl, and cast him therein. 5. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he may not see light.
- 6. And on the day of the great judgement he shall be cast into the fire. And heal the earth which the angels have corrupted, and proclaim the healing of the earth, that they may heal the plague, and that all the children of men may not perish through all the secret things that the Watchers have disclosed and have taught their sons. 8. And the whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by Azâzêl: to him ascribe all sin.'
- 9. And to Gabriel said the Lord: 'Proceed against the bastards and the reprobates, and against the children of fornication: and destroy [the children of fornication and] the children of the Watchers from amongst men [and cause them to go forth]: send them one against the other that they may destroy each other in battle: for length of days shall they not have. 10. And no request that they (i.e. their fathers) make of thee shall be granted unto their fathers on their behalf; for they hope to live an eternal life, and that each one of them will live five hundred years.'
- 11. And the Lord said unto Michael: 'Go, bind Semjâzâ and his associates who have united themselves with women so as to have defiled themselves with them in all their uncleanness. 12. And when their sons have slain one another, and they have seen the destruction of their beloved ones, bind them fast for seventy generations in the valleys of the earth, till the day of their judgement and of their consummation, till the judgement that is for ever and ever is consummated.
We can observe that Enoch X, verses 1-12, speaks of the judgment against the fallen angels before the flood and that they were to be locked in the pit until the end of judgment is decreed forever upon them, which I believe is in Revelation 20 after Christ's Millennial Kingdom. We then see that the angels that were bound will then be cast into the lake of fire, including the spirits of the Giants and the existing Nephilim I assume, and the earth is then tilled in righteousness:
- 1 Enoch Chapter X-13. In those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire: and to the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined for ever. And whosoever shall be condemned and destroyed will from thenceforth be bound together with them to the end of all generations. 15. And destroy all the spirits of the reprobate and the children of the Watchers, because they have wronged mankind. Destroy all wrong from the face of the earth and let every evil work come to an end: and let the plant of righteousness and truth appear: and it shall prove a blessing; the works of righteousness and truth shall be planted in truth and joy for evermore.
- 17. And then shall all the righteous escape, And shall live till they beget thousands of children, And all the days of their youth and their old age Shall they complete in peace. 18 And then shall the whole earth be tilled in righteousness, and shall all be planted with trees and be full of blessing. 19. And all desirable trees shall be planted on it, and they shall plant vines on it: and the vine which they plant thereon shall yield wine in abundance, and as for all the seed which is sown thereon each measure (of it) shall bear a thousand, and each measure of olives shall yield ten presses of oil. 20. And cleanse thou the earth from all oppression, and from all unrighteousness, and from all sin, and from all godlessness: and all the uncleanness that is wrought upon the earth destroy from off the earth. 21. And all the children of men shall become righteous, and all nations shall offer adoration and shall praise Me, and all shall worship Me. And the earth shall be cleansed from all defilement, and from all sin, and from all punishment, and from all torment, and I will never again send (them) upon it from generation to generation and for ever.
- 1 Enoch Chapter XI - 1. And in those days I will open the store chambers of blessing which are in the heaven, so as to send them down upon the earth over the work and labour of the children of men. 2. And truth and peace shall be associated together throughout all the days of the world and throughout all the generations of men.'
Ezekiel's Unbuilt Temple Vision
It is said that the temple plans spoken of by Ezekiel in Chapters 40-48 have not yet come to fruition, meaning it has not yet been built. What is interesting is that this scripture has been placed after the prophecy of Gog of MaGog and Battle of Armageddon in Ezekiel 38-39. This leads me to believe this could be the Temple Blueprints for the Millennial Kingdom of Christ in Israel after Daniel's 70th week!
- Ezekiel 40:1-5 KJV — In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither. In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south. And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate. And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel. And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
One interesting point is that Ezekiel's Temple Blueprints seems to have an Outer Court with specific measurements, yet the Revelation 11 Temple was commanded to leave the outer court for the Gentiles to trample under foot for 42 months, which I believe is for Daniel's 70th Week after the Abomination of Desolation by the AntiChrist (Matthew 24:15-21, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). In addition, it appears the following verses indicate Ezekiel's Temple includes the Throne of Christ when He rules in Jerusalem (Zechariah 14), as well as a restored Levitical and Zadok Priesthood with animal sacrifices and meat offerings:
- Ezekiel 43:1-9 KJV — Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh 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. And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places. In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger. Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
We also see in the below scriptures that it appears that because of the pure waters of the new Temple, the Dead Sea will be revived and the leaves of the trees will be for healing. This is most likely a literal prophecy but also possibly a metaphor for Christ's Kingdom bringing revival and life to the once blinded and sinful nations:
- Ezekiel 47:12 KJV — And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
The Prophet Zechariah speaks of this same thing, in my opinion, when Christ rules in Jerusalem:
- Zechariah 14:6-9 KJV — 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 sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
This scripture seems quite similar but I am not sure if it speaking of the Millennial Kingdom or afterwards when death and hell will be cast into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20):
- Revelation 22:1-10 KJV — And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
The Millennial Kingdom
Accoeding to Jesus Himself, immediately after the tribulation, Jesus will return with His saints to establish the Millennial Kingdom on earth:
- Matthew 24:29-30 KJV - Immediatelyafter the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: [30] And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
A parallel prophecy is seen here:
- Jude 1:14-15 KJV — And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
This prophecy of old indicates that the Messiah (Jesus) will have an everlasting Kingdom and ultimately Christ will rule and reign on the throne of King David in Jerusalem for 1000 years:
- Isaiah 9:6-7 KJV — For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
This prophecy indicates that after the final Beast Government (New World Order - Man of Sin) is destroyed and Christ returns to earth, His Kingdom will be established, this I believe is the Millinneal Kingdom:
- Daniel 7:13-14 KJV — I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
* This age of Grace currently is a time of preparation for His Kingdom, a harvest of souls until Jesus returns. The Kingdom is within us at the moment because we are in His Spirit in earth while Christ is in Heaven.
The Man of Sin (AntiChrist Obama) will rule for a short while until he is destroyed and Jesus comes with His Saints to rule over all nations:
- Daniel 7:25-27 KJV — And he (Man of Sin - 2 Thess 2) shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
* When Jesus returns, Satan is bound and cast into the Bottomless Pit (Revelation 20).
When Christ returns and defeats the AntiChrist at the Battle of Armageddon then the tribulation Saints who died for not accepting the Beast, nor his system, nor image, nor his mark, will be added to the Kingdom:
- Revelation 20:4 KJV — And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years (Millineal Reign).
- Isaiah 11:1-10 KJV — And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 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 sucking 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. And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
- Micah 4:1-8 KJV — But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it. For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever. In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever. And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.
These verses shows that the true born again Christians will judge the angels and be Priests and Kings with Christ in His Kingdom on earth:
- Revelation 1:6 KJV — And hath made us (faithful Christians) kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
- Revelation 5:10 KJV — And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
* Apostle Paul even revealed this to the early church in an epistle:
- 1 Corinthians 6:3 KJV — Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
The Man-Child
In Revelation 12:5, it tells us of a certain Man-Child who is caught up (raptured) to Heaven and given a rod of iron to rule the nations just before Satan is cast down for Daniel's 70th week. It appears this Man-Child is the Church who will reign and rule with Christ:
- Revelation 2:25-29 KJV — But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
I believe those Christians who are eligible for the pre-tribulation rapture will recieve their incorruptible bodies along with the dead in Christ:
- 1 Corinthians 15:52-53 KJV — In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
