**SALVATION IS 100% FREE BUT HEAVENLY REWARDS ARE 100% EARNED**!!
Tirus 3:4: But when the kindness and **LOVE** of God our *SAVIOR** appeared, He saved us , not because of **RIGHTEOUS THINGS** we had done, but because of His **MERCY**!
Ephesians 2:8,9: For it is by grace you have been saved, through **FAITH**�and this not from yourselves, it is the **GIFT OF GOD**�not by works. So that no one can boast. For we are **GOD'S WORKMANSHIP**, created in Christ Jesus to do **GOOD WORKS**, which God prepared in advance for us to do!
And so God's faithful saints do not earn their salvation by doing good works. They do **GOOD WORKS** after they are born from above because of their love of God who gave them the **FREE GIFT** of eternal life earned by the Atonement of Jesus our Savior; and to earn countless eternal **REWARDS** for faithful and loving service with the different gifts God gives us!!
Hebrews 11:1,6: Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see....And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He *REWARDS** those who earnestly seek Him!!
Ephesians 6:8: Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will **REWARD** everyone for what ever good he does!
Revelation 22:12 Jesus says, �Behold I am coming soon! My **REWARD** is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done!�
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, �The Son of Man is going to come in His Father's glory with His angels and THEN He will **REWARD** each person according to what he has done!�
Daniel 12:3: Those who are impart wisdom {NIV} will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever!!
I Corinthians 3:7-9: So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who makes things grow. The man who plants and the man who watered have one purpose, and each will be **REWARDED** according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers, you are God's field, God's building!
2 Corinthians 5:9,10: We make it our goal to please Him... for we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
1 Corinthians 3:13-15: His work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives , he will receive his **REWARD**. If it is burned up he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.
2 John 1:8: Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you be **REWARDED FULLY**!
Colossians 3:23-25: Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a **REWARD**. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.
2 Peter 1:5-11: Make every effort to add to your faith {A Free Gift} goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness,**LOVE**. For it you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is near-sighted and blind, and has forgotten he has been cleansed of his past sins. Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fail, and you will receive a **RICH WELCOME** into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Revelation 2:17: Jesus says, "To him who overcomes.. I will give him a white stone with a **NEW NAME** written on it, known only to him who receives it!!"
Revelation 3:21: Jesus says, "To him who overcomes, I will give the right to **SIT WITH ME** on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne!!"
**HOW TO WIN HEAVENLY ETERNAL CROWNS**
I Corinthians 9:24-27: Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes in to strict training. They do it to get a **CROWN** that will not last; but we do it to get a **CROWN THAT WILL LAST FOREVER**! Therefore, I do not run like a man running aimlessly. I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize!
Revelation 3:11: Jesus says, �I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your **CROWN**!�
2 Timothy 4:7,8: I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the **CROWN** of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day�and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for His appearing!
The **CROWN OF LIFE** for those who persevere under trials and persecution:
James 1:12: Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the **CROWN OF LIFE** that God has promised to those who love Him!
Revelation 2:10 Jesus says, �Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer... Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the **CROWN OF LIFE!�
Matthew 5:11,12: Jesus says, �Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your **REWARD** in heaven!�
Hebrews 10:32-36: Remember those earlier days after you had received the Light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. So do not throw away your confidence; it will be **RICHLY REWARDED**. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, **YOU RECEIVE WHAT HE HAS PROMISED**!!!

WHO WILL BE GOD'S TWO WITNESSES {REV 11:3} OR MEN {REV 11:6} OR PROPHETS {REV 11:10}??
Zechariah 4:11,14: "Then I asked the angel, 'What are these *TWO* OLIVE TREES {See Rev 11:4 below} on the right and left of the lamp stand?'... the angel said, 'These are the TWO who are anointed to serve the Lord of the earth!'" Rev 11:3-6: {God said to John} "I will give power to My *TWO* witnesses and they will prophesy for 1260 days clothed in sackcloth! These are the *TWO OLIVE TREES {See Zech 4:11,14 above} and the 2 lamp stands that stand before the Lord of the earth. If anyone tries to harm them, fire will come from their mouths to destroy their enemies. This is how anyone who tries to harm them must die {See 2 Kings 1:9-12; Num 16:31-35}.
These *MEN* will have power to shut up the sky so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying {See 1 Kings 17:1; Luke 4:25; James 5:17}; and they will have power to turn the waters into blood {See Exodus 7:15-23} and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish."
Moses and Elijah witnessed to 3 Apostles on the mount of Transfiguration when Moses & Elijah spoke to Jesus about his departure or Ascension, which Jesus was to bring to fulfillment in Jerusalem 40 days after His resurrection. Luke 9:30,31: �TWO MEN, Moses and Elijah, appeared in GLORIOUS SPLENDOR talking with Jesus. They spoke about His Departure {Or Ascension} which He was about to bring to fulfillment in Jerusalem."
Moses and Elijah were most assuredly the *TWO MEN* dressed in white who witnessed at the Departure or Ascension of Jesus in Acts 1:10,11: "They looked up into the sky as He {Jesus} was going when suddenly *TWO MEN* dressed in WHITE stood beside them. "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into Heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into Heaven!"
And then in Luke 24:2b-6b we read: They did not find the body of Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly *TWO MEN*... stood beside them... And the *MEN* said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? HE IS NOT HERE; HE HAS RISEN!!" Jesus says in John 8:17b: "The testimony of *TWO MEN IS VALID* and of course the testimony of Moses and Elijah is just about as valid as you can get.
And so the coming of God's *TWO MEN* or witnesses to prophesy for 1260 days {See Rev 11:3-7} will be their FOURTH appearance as God's 2 witnesses or MEN. And the reason that their names are not mentioned in Luke 24:3 and Acts 1:10 and Rev 11:3-12 is that the Father, Moses and Elijah want us to glorify *NO ONE ELSE BUT JESUS*!!
Moses and Elijah will most likely witness miraculously to people in the uttermost parts of the earth in all 6,000 languages. Presently the Bible has been translated into about 2,000 languages from the inspired Greek and Hebrew manuscripts and faith comes from hearing or reading the sword of the spirit which is the Word of God. The Bible still has not been translated into about 4,000 languages and Rev 5:9b and Rev 7:9,13,14 must be completely fulfilled. Surely the courageous tribulation saints will help Moses and Elijah spread God's Word. They will do a fantastic job since according to Rev 7:9,14 there will be a great multitude from EVERY TRIBE AND LANGUAGE who will be �WASHED IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB�.
Moses & Elijah will be dressed in SACKCLOTH which is appropriate since the Tribulation saints will be very poor, for they will not be able to buy or sell anything as per Rev 13:17. Moses and Elijah will certainly speak the Word of God with great power and love. They will not add or take words away from the Prophetic Words of God {See Rev 22:18,19}; and they will encourage God's courageous saints to adhere to *ALL* of the NT commandments {See Rev 12:13b; 14:12b; Matt 28:20a; John 14:15,21,23; I John 2:2-5} with love {See Matt 5:39-48 & Rom 12:17-21} in the face of severe and hostile persecution.
Moses and Elijah will begin their 1260-day testimony {Rev 11:3} 3 1/2 days before the coming of 666 & the 1260-day Great Tribulation and 1263 1/2 days before the Last Day. {*THE FIRST END-TIME EVENT*} Moses and Elijah will warn us of the coming of 666 & his False Prophet. It seems very appropriate that God will send His TWO PROPHETS {See Rev 11:10b} to warn and prepare His saints for the coming of Satan, 666 and the Great Tribulation for in Amos 3:7 we read: "Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the PROPHETS!"
GOD'S PROPHETS are mentioned 8 times in Revelation: Revelation 10:7; 11:10; 11:18; 16:6; 18:20,24; 22:6 & 22:9. Whereas; preachers, pastors and evangelists are not even mentioned once in Revelation!
God will allow 666 to martyr Moses and Elijah {See Rev 11:7,8} right where their Lord was crucified. {At the new *HOLY PLACE* where Jesus shed his blood for our sins} 3 1/2 days later Moses and Elijah will rise to heaven just hours before the 7th angel sounds the 7th Trump at the 2nd coming of Jesus.{See Rev 11:11-18} Mark 13:14: Jesus says, �When you see 666 standing where he does not belong {AT THE NEW HOLY PLACE}....then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.� {See Rev 11:7,8 & Rev 16:15} John 2:19: Jesus said, �Destroy this TEMPLE and I will raise it again in 3 days.� This HOLY PLACE is where Jesus became the chief cornerstone {Eph 2:20,21} and we are living stones {I Pet 2:5 & 2 Cor 6:16} in the LAST TEMPLE made without hands! {Acts 17:24} Certainly, the old Jerusalem and the old Temple site are NO LONGER HOLY PLACES.
Hebrews 13:12-14: "Jesus suffered outside the city gate to make the people HOLY THROUGH HIS BLOOD. Let us, then, go to Him outside the city, bearing the disgrace He bore. For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the CITY {THE NEW JERUSALEM} that is to come." {See Heb 11:10,13-16; Heb 12:22; Rev 3:12b; 21:2,10-27; 22:1-5; 2 Pet 3:13}
Gal 4:25,26: "Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem {Called Sodom in Rev 11:8} because she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem that is ABOVE is free, and she is our mother."{THE *NEW* JERUSALEM}

WHAT ARE THE 7 BIBLE CLUES WHICH REVEAL THE IDENTITY OF 666???
Revelation 13:17b,18: "The mark of the beast {Or anti-christ} is the *NAME* of the Beast or the number of *HIS NAME*. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, *LET HIM* calculate the number of the Beast {Even in AD 96 when Revelation was written}, for it is a man's number {Or "Number of a MAN"}. *HIS* number is *666*." God has promised in the above inspired passage that any saint {Even in AD 96--which implies that the name was known in AD 96} with spiritual wisdom and insight may calculate the name of the beast which is a *MAN'S NAME* and adds up to 666.
In Thess 2:3 the Beast of the End-Times is called a "*MAN* of sin or lawlessness" or very SINFUL MAN and therefore the name of the Beast which adds up to 666 is a *MAN'S* name which is also confirmed in Rev 13:17b,18 above. Therefore, the NAME of the Beast which adds up to 666 is a sinful *MAN'S NAME* and could not be the name of a woman or a city, country, computer or Satan, etc.. 666 is also identified with a MASCULINE pronoun 28 times in God's Word which we will show later.
Rev 13:16,17: "He {The False Prophet} forced everyone... to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead. No one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name {666}. The anti-christ is called a "BEAST" 36 {6x6} times in Revelation. The BEAST is a much better name than anti-christ since anti-christ is mentioned 5 times in God's Word {I John 2:18{2X}, 22; 4:3; 2 John 1:7} and each time the word encompasses all who are against Christ. I John 2:18: "Even now many anti-christs have come."
666 is referred to in the MASCULINE gender 28 times and the Beast is never referred to in the feminine or neuter gender. It is interesting to note that if the Beast of the end-times will be a religious organization, country or city it would be referred to in the female or neuter gender!!! The masculine pronouns used for the Beast are "HIS" 11 times: Rev 13:1, 5,16b,18b; 14:9,11; 17:7b; 19:2; 20:4(2X) & Daniel 7:26. "HE" 10 times: Rev 13:1;6a,7a,7; 17:8b; 17:11; 2 Thess 2:6; Daniel 7:24,25 & Daniel 9:27. "HIM" 5 times: Rev 13:4b; 19:20; 2 Thess 2:6; Daniel 7:25 & Daniel 9:27. "HIMSELF" 2 times in 2 Thess 2:4.
Actually there are **7 BIBLE CLUES** that show who the BEAST of the future 1260-day Tribulation will be. By an amazing coincidence all 7 Bible clues can be applied to Nero Caesar!!
{{1}} The BEAST will be a "MAN OF SIN" or very sinful MAN as per 2 Thess 2:3 above.
{{2}} The number of this sinful man's name is 666 as per Rev 13:16-18. The Bible was written by 40 Divinely inspired Hebrews in Hebrew and Greek so then it is highly probable that this man's name adds up to 666 in Hebrew or Greek. Nero Caesar's name adds up to 666 in Hebrew which we will show later in this Bible study.
{{3}} This sinful man whose name adds up to 666 DIED BEFORE AD 96 when Revelation was written.{See Rev 17:8 below} We will show later why Revelation was written between Sept AD 95 and Sept AD 96. Nero Caesar lived from December 15th, AD 37 to June 9th AD 68.
{{4}} This sinful man who was alive and then died before AD 96 was FATALLY WOUNDED by a sword wound to his head. Nero Caesar committed suicide with a sword wound to his head on June 9th, AD 68. {See Rev 13:3 and Rev 13:14 below}
{{5}} This very sinful man who died before AD 96 was a KING in the Roman Empire as per Daniel 7:24. There were 11 Roman Kings or Caesars who died before AD 96 including the 6th Caesar {Nero Caesar} who killed Paul and Peter in AD 66; and whose name adds up to 666 in Hebrew. Domitian Caesar was the 12th Roman Caesar who was alive when Revelation was written in AD 96.
{{6}} The beast is also called an 8th KING who ruled before AD 96 as one of 7 evil KINGS crowned by the city on 7 hills. {See Rev 17:9-11}
{{7}} This very sinful ROMAN KING whose name adds up to 666 and who was fatally wounded by a sword before AD 96, will "COME UP FROM THE *ABYSS* or *HELL* as per Rev 11:7 & Rev 17:8. We know that the ABYSS is HELL by comparing 2 Peter 2:4 with Luke 8:30b,31. We can be sure that Nero Caesar is now in the Abyss or Hell since he killed Paul and Peter and thousands of Christians and sent Vespasian {the father of Titus and Domitian Caesar} to kill the Jews and destroy their Temple. The MAN OF SIN or Nero also killed his own mother and killed his pregnant wife by kicking her in the stomach. Inscriptions have been found in Ephesus in which Nero is called "Almighty God" and "Savior". In Revelation 13:8a we learn that all the unsaved inhabitants of the world will worship the Beast. Nero and Caligula "abandoned all reserve" in promoting emperor worship - they were the only two Roman Caesars who demanded divine honors while still alive. Nero claimed to be the sun-god Apollo. In 2 Thess 2:4 we read that the "Man of Sin" will proclaim that he is God! Revelation 17:8: The beast, which you saw, once was {alive}, Now {in AD 96} is not {alive} and will come up out of the ABYSS and go to his destruction.
The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book life. ... will be astonished when they see the beast, because he once was {Alive before AD 96}, now {In AD 96} is not {Alive} and yet will come. Rev 13:14: He {The False Prophet} will order the inhabitants of the earth to set up an image in honor of the beast who was {FATALLY-Rev 13:3} wounded by the sword and yet lived." Rev 13:3: �One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been HEALED!! The whole world was astonished and followed the beast. �
During the last year of his rule Domitian Caesar decreed that everyone in the Roman Empire must worship idols of former Roman Caesar's or else they would be killed or put in prison. Historical documents show us that the Apostle John {Who then lived in Ephesus} lived to about AD 100 and therefore would have been alive during Domitian's evil decree of September AD 95 to September of AD 96. Since we can be sure that the Apostle John would never worship an idol of a Roman Caesar it is then highly probable that John was put in prison on Patmos Isle sometime during Domitian's evil decree from September AD 95 to September AD 96.
When I was a missionary in Israel I studied the Hebrew language. One of the first things that you learn when you study the OT Ancient Hebrew language {Which is also the language of Israel today!} is that the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet ALSO represent 22 numbers! When you read Psalm 119 you will note that the 176 sentences are divided into 22 sections; each section with 8 sentences or verses praising the Word of God. These 22 sections are each headed by one of the letters in the Hebrew alphabet in the exact same order as shown below. The ancient Hebrew language {Which is exactly the same as the modern Hebrew language} frequently used the letters of their alphabet to designate numbers in the OT as follows: ALEPH=1. BETH=2. GIMEL=3. DALET=4. HE=5. VAV=6. ZAYIN=7. CHETH=8. TETH=9. YODH=10. KAPH=20. LAMED=30. MEM=40. NUN=50. SAMEKH=60. AYIN=70. PE=80. TSADHE=90. KOPH=100. RESH=200. SHIN=300. TAV=400.
NOTE: Most vowel sounds except "O" {VAV} are not used as letters in Hebrew. These vowel sounds are designated by dots and dashes under their *PRECEDING* consonants. In Hebrew "N" is added on the end of all foreign names ending in "O". Therefore, the foreign name of Nero would be "NERON" in Hebrew. The name Nero Caesar would be pronounced Neron Kaysar in Hebrew. The "E" in Neron and the 2 "A" sounds in Kaysar {There is no "C" in Hebrew} are designated by dots and dashes under their preceding consonants and therefore are not letters in the 22 letter Hebrew alphabet, and so have no numerical value.
Neron in Hebrew would use 4 letters with numerical value: N-R-O-N and Kaysar in Hebrew would use 3 letters with numerical value: K-S-R. There would be a dot under the first N to show the "E" sound in NEron There would also be 2 dots under the "K" to show the "AY" sound in KAYsar and a dash under the "S" to show the "AH" sound in KaySAHr. The 4 letters with numerical value in NERON would be {SEE TABLE ABOVE} N = NUN = 50; R = RESH = 200; O = VAV = 6; and N = NUN = 50 and 50+20+6+50 equals 306. The 3 letters with numerical value in "KAYSAR would be K = KOPH = 100; S = SAMEKH = 60; and R = RESH =200 and 100+60+200 equals 360. And so the numerical value of Nero in Hebrew is 306 and the numerical value of Caesar in Hebrew is 360, and therefore the numerical value of Nero Caesar is 306+360 or exactly *666*!
There is a very interesting footnote in the revised Standard Version concerning the number 666 which states that some ancient manuscripts have the number **616** which *DOUBLY* confirms that Nero Caesar may be the future Anti-Christ!! You will note that the Hebrew language adds an "N" to all foreign names ending in "O". Now "N" or "NUN" in Hebrew has a numerical value of **50**!! and so if you decided not to add the last "N" in NERON then Nero Caesar would add up to exactly *616* in Hebrew. This is an absolutely amazing coincidence!
Any honest Hebrew language scholar will confirm that the letters of Nero Caesar's name add up to 666 in the Hebrew language whose 22 letters are also 22 numbers as shown above, and the Bible was written by 40 Jews. Since all of the prophecies concerning the anti-christ are written in OT Hebrew {Like Daniel 7:8-25} or NT Koine Greek it would then seem logical that God would use one of these 2 Bible languages to identify the Name of the Beast whose letters add up to 666. One of the problems of doing this in NT Koine Greek is that the letters of their alphabet are not also numbers. And therefore you can only assign a numerical value of 22 to the 22nd letter, etc.. Using this formula you could not get any name to add up to over 250, let alone 666. You have the same problem with English & all other languages other than the Hebrew language! The 3 different Greek words used in Rev 13:18b to arrive at the number 666 are the 3 different Greek words for 600 and 60 and 6 and not 6 +6 + 6.
And so the *6th* Caesar {Julius, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius & the *6th* was NERO} ordered the execution of Paul & Peter in AD *66*. NERO fulfilled *ALL 7 BIBLE CLUES as to the identity of *666* and will definitely be the Beast who will come up from the Abyss {Or Hell-See Rev 11:7 & Rev 17:8} in the coming 42-month {See Rev 13:5-8} Great Tribulation!!

**WHAT CITY BUILT ON 7 HILLS AND GREAT SEA PORT WILL BE THE HEADQUARTERS OF 666 DURING THE 1260-DAY GREAT TRIBULATION?? {666 is called the Beast 36 or 6X6 in the book of Revelation}
Revelation 13:5,7 The Beast {666} will exercise his authority for 42 {30-day} months {or 1260 days}... And he will be given power to make war against the saints and conquer them. {See Dan 7:25} Rev 17:18: The *WOMAN you saw {In Revelation17:1-18} is the great *CITY that will rule over the kings of the earth.
Rev 17:3,5,6,8,9,12,13, 18: I saw a WOMAN sitting on a scarlet Beast {666} with 7 heads and 10 horns...The Beast, which you saw, once was {alive}, now is not {Alive in AD 96}, and will come out of the Abyss {Or Hell} and go to his destruction {See Rev 19:19,20} This title was written on her forehead �Mystery: Babylon the Great: Mother of Prostitutes and of the Abominations of the earth.� I saw that the WOMAN was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus. The Beast {666}, which you saw, once was {alive}, now is not {Alive in AD 96}, and will come up out of the Abyss {Or Hell} and go to his destruction {See Rev 19:19,20} ...This calls for a mind with wisdom. The 7 Heads are SEVEN HILLS {ROME} on which the WOMAN sits {Or reigns}... The 10 horns you saw are 10 kings who will give their authority to the Beast {666}...The WOMAN you saw is the great *CITY that rules over the kings of the earth.
Revelation 18:17-20,24 �Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off. When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, �Was there ever a city like this great city?� They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out: �Woe, Woe, O great *CITY, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth! In one hour she has been brought to ruin! Rejoice over her, O heaven! Rejoice saints and apostles and prophets! God has judged her for the way she treated you....In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been killed on the earth.�
Most Bible scholars believe that the book of First Peter was written shortly after the beginning of Nero�s Roman persecution of Christians in AD 64 because of I Peter 4:12,13 & 5:8,9. We know that Peter and his wife were living in Rome at this time. Peter was inspired to write in I Peter 5:13: �She {Peter�s wife} who is in *BABYLON* {Nickname for *ROME*!} sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark.� Apparently some Christians including Peter were inspired to call ROME �BABYLON� after Nero�s terrible persecution of Christians starting in AD 64. This is very interesting since the evil city of the End-Times is called �BABYLON� 6 times in Revelation 14:8; 16:19; 17:5; 18:2,10,21.
All encyclopedias agree that Babylon was completely evacuated in 275 BC and completely destroyed by 141 BC. The Wikipedia encyclopedia states, "By 141 BC, when the Parthian Empire took over the region, Babylon was in complete desolation and obscurity." The only question that remains is: Was Babylon rebuilt so that there could be people living in Babylon around AD 65 when Peter wrote 1 Peter 5:13??? Which leads us to the promises of God in Jeremiah 50:1-3,13: This is the word the Lord spoke through Jeremiah concerning Babylon.."Babylon will be captured... A nation from the north will attack her and lay waste her land. No one will live in it; both men and animals will flee away!" Also read Jeremiah 52:52:61-64: And God ALWAYS keeps His promises. If you check out the latest Iraqi Tour Guides you will notice the following statement: "Today, Babylon lies COMPLETELY in ruins. A large and splendidly carved stone lion is all that remains of its former glories."
I was a missionary in Jerusalem and Jerusalem was never known as the city on 7 hills. It has always been known as the city on 6 mountains {Not Hills} as per Wikipedia {Jerusalem Mountains} which are {1} Mount Herzl {2} Mount of Olives {3} Mount Zion {4} Mount Scopus {5} temple Mount {6} Har Menuchot.
�Babylon� {Nicknamed Rome by Peter} is a �GREAT SEAPORT� in Rev 18:17-19; JUST LIKE ROME and UNLIKE Babylon whose ruins are NOW 4 miles from the very shallow Euphrates River; and UNLIKE Jerusalem which is 2000 to 3000 feet above sea level and 35 miles from the Mediterranean Sea. Babylon is also completely FLAT whereas the End-Time "Babylon" will be a city built on 7 Hills JUST LIKE ROME!! Rev 17:18: �The woman you saw {Rev 17:3--Who sits with the Beast with 7 heads} is the great *CITY* {Rome--nicknamed Babylon in I Peter 5:13--See Rev 17:5a} that will rule over the kings of the earth.� The headquarters of 666 will be destroyed about 2 weeks before the Last Day.{See Rev 16:10-16} Rev 18:19: �Woe! Woe, O great *CITY*, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth! In one hour she has been brought to ruin! Rejoice, saints and apostles and prophets! God has judged her for the way she treated you...In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints and of all who have been killed on the earth!�
The mention of �seven hills� in conjunction with the Harlot Woman (Rev. 17:9) is often seen as an allusion to seven hills known to be associated with Rome:
The Rome view is also built upon the assumption that the seven hills of Revelation 17:9 identify the topography of the ancient city of Rome. Because literature of the ancient world contains dozens of references to the seven hills of Rome, the ancient city of Rome was universally known as the city of the seven hills. Thus, such a topographical reference would immediately suggest Rome in the minds of John�s original audience. This suggestion is especially true given the fact that the seven hills were the nucleus of the city on the left bank of the Tiber River and given the fact that an unusual festival called the septimontium received its name because of this topographical feature.
Rome has always been known as the CITY built on 7 Hills by Romulus from whom Rome gets its name. The following is a quote from Wikipedia Encyclopedia: The Seven Hills of Rome (Italian: Sette colli di Roma) east of the river Tiber form the geographical heart of Rome wiithin the walls of the ancient city. The SEVEN HILLS are: Aventine Hill, Caelian Hill, Captoline Hill, Palantine Hill, Quirinal Hill and Viminal Hill.
In addition, the notion that John�s audience would have understood the imagery of Revelation 17 as referring to the topography of Rome seems strengthened by the discovery of the Dea Roma Coin minted in A.D. 71 in Asia Minor. One side of the coin contains the portrait of the emperor. The reverse side of the coin depicts Rome, a Roman pagan goddess, sitting on seven hills seated by the waters of the Tiber River. There are obvious similarities between the Dea Roma Coin and the imagery of Revelation 17. In both cases, the goddess and the harlot are seated on seven hills and are seated either on or by the waters (Rev. 17:1). In addition, the name of the goddess was thought by many Romans to be Amor, which is Roma spelled backwards. Amor was the goddess of love and sexuality. Thus, both the woman on the coin and the woman in Revelation 17 represent harlotry (Rev. 17:5).
Furthermore, the coin equates Roma with the power of the Roman Empire, which was active in persecuting Christians of John�s day. The placement of Vespasian on one side of the coin and Roma on the other makes this connection. . . . The goddess is also pictured as holding a sword, which may depict Rome�s imperial power. This imagery parallels with the woman in Revelation 17 who is said to be drunk with the blood of the saints (Rev. 17:6).

**WILL JESUS RULE FROM THE EZEKIEL TEMPLE FOR 1,000 YEARS ON THIS PRESENT EARTH**??
There are some who teach that after the 2nd coming of Jesus that some of the saints who are alive at the 2nd coming of Jesus will **NOT** receive their new heavenly bodies and they will then populate the present earth. They will live about 100 years and have children; some which will also be saved. And then Jesus will come to the present earth and rule the world in the Ezekiel Temple in Jerusalem mentioned in Ezekiel 40:1 to Ezekiel 48:35 for 1,000 years. And then when the 1,000 years are completed there will be the resurrection and Judgment of all the lost even though 2 Thess 1:6-10 Matthew 25:31-46 John 5:28,29 John 12:48 and Daniel 12:1.2 show that the lost will be resurrected judged and sent to hell on the same Last Day as the saved. Another big contradiction in this scenario is that Jesus would reign in the earthy Jerusalem with a small number of His saints and be away from most of His saints who will be in heaven for 1,000 years???? However John 14:2,3 and I Thess 4:16-18 completely contradicts this heresy.
John 14:2,3: Jesus says, ".I am going to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for yoiu, I will come back and take you to be **WITH ME THAT YOU MAY BE WHERE I AM**!!"
I Thessalonians 4:16-18: The dead in Christ will rise first. After that we who are still alive will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so **WE WILL BE WITH THE LORD FOREVER**!! Therefore encourage each other with these words!!
There are some extreme problems with this Ezekiel Temple scenario; since in the symbolic Ezekiel Temple there are thousands of **ANIMAL SACRIFICES** every year for **SIN** and for **ATONEMENT** for the people as per Ezekiel 45:15,17,19,22,23.
Hebrews 9:26-28: But now He has appeared **ONCE FOR ALL** at the end of the ages to do away with sin **BY THE SACRIFICE OF HIMSELF**!! Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, and **CHRIST WAS SACRIFICED ONCE TO TAKE AWAY SINS** of many people, and He will appear a second time, **NOT TO BEAR SIN**, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him!!
Hebrews 10:8-10: First He said, "Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings **YOU DID NOT DESIRE NOR WERE YOU PLEASED WITH THEM** although the law required them to be made. Then He said, "Here I am, I have come to do Your will." He sets aside the first **TO ESTABLISH THE SECOND**. And by that will, we have been made holy through the **SACRIFICE** of the body of Jesus Christ **ONCE FOR ALL**!!
Hebrews 7:27: Unlike the other high priests He does not need to offer *SACRIFICES** day after day, first for His own sins, and then for the sins of the people. **HE SACRIFICED FOR THEIR SINS ONCE FOR ALL** when He offered Himself!!
Whereas, we read In Ezekiel 45:15,17: These will be used for the grain offerings and **BURNT OFFERINGS** to make **ATONEMENT** for the people...He {The Prince} will provide the **SIN** offerings, grain offerings and **BURNT OFFERINGS** to make **ATONEMENT** for the house of Israel.
The leader of the Temple in Ezekiel is called the Prince and is mentioned 16 times in Ezekiel chapters 45 to 48. However the Prince could not be the Divine Jesus since he provides animal sacrifices for his own sin in Ezekiel 45:22: which states: "On that day the **PRINCE** is to provide a bull as a **SIN OFFERING FOR HIMSELF** and for all the people of the land."????
Ezekiel 48:32: On the east side {Of the Temple} will be 3 gates: the gate of Joseph, the gate of Benjamin and the gate of ***DAN***???
Dan was an extremely evil idol worshiping area in Israel as per I Kings 12:29,30 & 2 Kings 10:29!! And so the tribe of Dan was **ELIMINATED** as one of the 12 ribes of Israel and is replaced by the name the firstborn son of Joseph named Manasseh in the 12 tribes of Israel mentioned in Revelation 7:5-8!!
**THE IDEA THAT SOME OF GOD'S SAINTS WHO ARE ALIVE AT HIS COMING WILL NOT RECEIVE THEIR ETERNAL HEAVENLY BODIES IS ALSO CONTRADICTED BY GOD'S WORD**:
I Corinthians 15:50-52; I declare to you, brother, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep {saints who have died will sleep in Christ {See John 5:28,29 & Daniel 12:1,2} except for the Martyrs and the 24 Elders who will be awake} but **WE WILL **ALL** BE CHANGED**--in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the will be raised imperishable, and **WE WILL BE CHANGED**!!
Philippians 3:21,22: But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables Him to bring everything Under His control, will **TRANSFORM OUR LOWLY BODIES** so that hey will **BE LIKE HIS GLORIOUS BODY**!
I John 3;2,3: We know that **WHEN HE APPEARS, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM**!! Everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, Just as He is pure!!
2 Peter 3:10-13 But the **DAY OF THE LORD** will come like a thief {To unbelievers- See I Thess 5:4,5 & Rev 3:3}. The heavens will **DISAPPEAR** with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be burned up! You ought to live holy and godly lives as you **LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY OF GOD**. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with His promise **WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH**, the home of righteousness!! { And so God's saints are not looking forward to some saints reigning with Jesus in an earthly kingdom for 1,000 years}
Revelation 21:1-5: Then I saw a **NEW HEAVEN and a **NEW EARTH**, for the first heaven and the first earth **HAD PASSED AWAY**, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the **NEW JERUSALEM**, coming down out of heaven from God prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be **NO MORE DEATH** or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making **EVERYTHING NEW**!" Then He said, "Write this down, for these words are **TRUSTWORTHY AND TRUE**!!!"
IS THE FIRST 1,000 YEAR RESURRECTION IN REVELATION 20:4-6 FOR MARTYRS LIKE JESUS AND THE 24 ELDERS ON THRONES WITH AUTHORITY TO JUDGE ONLY??
WHO ARE THE 24 ELDERS ON THRONES SURROUNDING GOD'S THRONE??
Revelation 4:4 Surrounding God's throne were **24 OTHER THRONES**, on seated on them were **24 ELDERS**. They were dressed in *WHITE* and had crowns of Gold on their heads!
Matthew 19:28: Jesus said to his Apostles, "I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you have **FOLLOWED ME** {The Apostle Paul instead of Judas] will **ALSO SIT ON 12 THRONES, **JUDGING**!!
Luke 22:29,30: Jesus said to His Apostles, "I confer on you a Kingdom, just as My Father coferred one on Me, so that you may eat and drink at My table in My Kingdom and sit on **THRONES**, **JUDGING**!!"
**WHO DESERVES TO SIT ON THE OTHER 12 THRONES SURROUNDING GOD'S THRONE**??
And certainly 12 OT Super saints of God will also deserve sitting on the other **12 **THONES** surrounding God's throne such as Abraham, David, Moses, Elijah, Daniel, Isaiah, Samuel, Jeremiah, Joseph , Joshua, Noah and Enoch!!
According to Revelation 20:4-6 there will be *TWO* Resurrections. The 1st continuous 1,000 year Heavenly Resurrection is for the 24 Elders on thrones and MARTYRS* LIKE JESUS ONLY* and will end at the 2nd coming of Jesus when the 2nd Resurrection will take place for the saints of all ages who are *NOT MARTYRS*!!
In Daniel 12:2 just after the Great Tribulation we read, "Multitudes who *SLEEP* in the dust of the earth will *AWAKE*, some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.
I Thess 5:10: He {Jesus} died for us so that, whether we are ** AWAKE** {Martyrs} or **ASLEEP**, we may live together with Him.
I Corinthians 15:51,52: Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all *SLEEP*{Since the Martyrs are **AWAKE**} but we will all be changed--in a flash, in a twinkling of an eye, at the Last {7TH} Trumpet!!
There are only TWO RESURRECTIONS for all saints mentioned in Rev 20:4-6: The FIRST RESURRECTION is for MARTYRS AND THE 24 ELDERS ON THRONES ONLY and INCLUDES the Tribulation Martyrs. And therefore the SECOND RESURRECTION must come on the Last Day of the Great Tribulation and must include ALL SAINTS {Both OT & NT} who are not martyrs or the 24 Elders on thrones.
The Heavenly rewards for the faithful and courageous *MARTYRS* is one of the most important central themes in the book of Revelation. For they will reign with Jesus in Heaven during the 1,000 years before His 2nd Coming; like the *TRIBULATION MARTYRS**!
Just before the 7 Trumpet Plagues in Revelation 8 we read :
Revelation 7:9,13-15,17: I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from **EVERY** nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the THONE and in front of the **LAMB**. They were wearing white robes.... The one of the {24} **ELDERS** asked me, "These in white robes--who are they, where did they come from?" I answered, "Sir, you know." and he {The ELDER} said, " These are they who have **COME OUT OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION** {**MARTYRS**}, they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the **LAMB**. Therefore, THEY ARE BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD** and serve Him day and night in His Temple!!"... The **LAMB** in the center of the throne will be their Shepherd!!
FOR EXAMPLE: Let us suppose that the SECOND RESURRECTION takes place on October 25th; 2021 then the continuous 1,000 year FIRST RESURRECTION for MARTYRS AND 24 ELDERS ONLY would take place from October 25th, AD 1021 to October 25th, 2021. The 24 Elders and all of the OT & NT saints martyred before October 25th, 1021 were awakened to reign with Jesus in Heaven and every Martyr martyred after October 25th, 1021 were and will be immediately awakened to reign with Jesus in the continuous 1,000 year FIRST RESURRECTION to be completed on October 25th, 2021 at the SECOND RESURRECTION when "The rest of the dead **COME TO LIFE** when the thousand years are ENDED." {Rev 20:5a}
Rev 20:4b �I saw the *SOULS of those who had been martyred because of their testimony for Jesus... they came to life and reigned with Christ for 1,000 years. The Martyrs SOULS will get white robes but will only get their New Heavenly bodies when the 1,000 years are ENDED at the 2nd Coming of Jesus.
This seems to contradict John 6:40: Jesus says, �EVERYONE who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life and I will raise him up at the LAST DAY.� HOWEVER, the LAST DAY RESURRECTION could last 1,000 years for in 2 Pet 3:8 we read: �With the Lord a DAY is like 1,000 years, and 1,000 years are like a DAY!!
We see the martyrs talking in heaven at the beginning of the Great Tribulation in Revelation 6:9-11 and then we see a great multitude of martyrs who have come out of the Great Tribulation from every nation and language awake in heaven jin Revelation 7:9-17just **BEFORE** the first 7 trumpet plagues in Revelation 8.
And then just before the last 7 bowl plagues we see martyrs in heaven singing the song of the Lamb in Revelation 15:2-4: And then we see 144,000 Jewish martyrs in heaven with Jesus BEFORE Rome or Babylon is destroyed in Rev 14:8 in Revelation 14:1-5:
Revelation 6:9-11: When He {Jesus} opened the 5th seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain {MARTYRS LIKE JESUS} because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood? Then each of them were given a WHITE ROBE, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed {**TRIBULATION MARTYRS**} as they had been was **COMPLETED**.
This was **COMPLETED** just before the 7 trumpet plagues in Revelation 8::
Revelation 7:9,13-15,17: After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from EVERY nation, tribe, people and language standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb {Jesus} They were wearing WHITE ROBES. And they cried out in a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne , and to the Lamb...Then one of the {24} **ELDERS** asked me, "Those in WHITE ROBES--who are they, and where did they come from?" And he said, "These are they who have come out of the *GREAT TRIBULATION*{*MARTYRS LIKE JESUS*}, they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the **LAMB**. Therefore, They are before the throne of God and serve Him day and night in His temple...The **LAMB** in the center of the throne will be their Shepherd!"
Revelation 15:2,3: And I saw..those who had been victorious over the Beast {666} and his image and the number of his name {**TRIBULATION MARTYRS**}. They held harps given them by God and sang the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the **LAMB**: "Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways, King of the ages!"
Note: Mount Zion is another name for heaven as per Hebrews 12:22. Revelation 14:1-4: Then I looked, an there before me was the **LAMB**, standing on Mount Zion, and with Him 144,000 {See Rev 7:3-8}...And I heard a sound from Heaven...And they sang a new song before the throne. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been *REDEEMED* from the earth...They follow the **LAMB** wherever He goes. {They will all be martyred**BEFORE** the fall of Babylon in Revelation 14:8: A second angel followed and said, "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!"
The 24 Elders on thrones are mentioned **12 TIMES** in Revelation 5:4,10; :5,6,8,11,14; 7:11,13; 11:16-18; 14:3 and 19:4 The 24 Elders on thrones are mentioned many times speaking from heaven during the Great Tribulation and are the only saints mentioned in heaven during the Great Tribulation besides the MARTYRS!! The **MARTYRS** are mentioned numerous times in Revelation 2:10; :9-11; 7:9-17; 11:7; 12:11: 13:10; 13:15; 14:1-5; 14:13; 15:2-4; 16:6; 18:24!!
It is completely obvious that the continuous 1,000 year reign mentioned in Revelation 20:4-6 is for 24 ELDERS on **THRONES** and MARTYRS ONLY according to God's Word in:
Revelation 20:4,5: "I saw [[24]**THRONES** on which were seated those who had been given authority to JUDGE and I saw the SOULS of those who had been beheaded {Martyred} because of their testimony for Jesus {*NT MARTYRS*} and because of the word of God {*OT MARTYRS*}. They had not worshiped the beast and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands {*TRIBULATION MARTYRS*}. They came to life {*AWOKE FROM SLEEP IN CHRIST} and reigned with Christ a thousand years. The rest of the dead {Saints who were not martyrs or the 24 elders} did not **COME TO LIFE** until the thousand years were ended. {At the 2nd coming of Jesus} These could not be the lost since Rev 20:6,& 10 and Rev 21:8 state that on the Last Day the lost will suffer the **SECOND DEATH**!!
WHEN WAS SATAN STOPPED FROM DECEIVING THE NATIONS SO THAT THE GOSPEL COULD BE PREACHED TO EVERY NATION IN THE WORLD AS PER MATTHEW 24:14 AND REVELATION 7:9??
FOR EXAMPLE: Let us assume that the Great Tribulation will last 1260 days from May 14th, 2018 to October 25th, 2021. As you know Satan was successful in stopping the Gospel from spreading past 5% of the earth; or The Mid-East, Southern Europe and Northern Africa for almost 1000 years. Suddenly the Gospel was being preached throughout the pagan kingdoms of Russia, Finland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden around AD 1018. And in the past 1,000 years the Gospel has spread to all of Africa and Asia, North and South America, and all the remote islands of the earth. As you know the gospel must be preached to every nation of the earth before the end can come as per Matthew 24:14 and Revelation 7:9.
And so about 95% of the world�s nations who were deceived by Satan; have heard the gospel for the first time during the past 1,000 years. Rev 20:2,3: �He {The angel} seized the dragon, who is the devil or Satan and bound him for 1,000 years {FOR EXAMPLE: May 14th, AD 1018 to May14th, 2018}. He threw him into the Abyss to keep him from deceiving the nations until the 1,000 years were ended {On May 14th, 2018}. After that he must be set free for a short time.� Or 1260 days from May 14th, 2018 to October 25th, 2021 during the Great Tribulation when Satan will again **DECEIVE ALL THE NATIONS** for 1260 days until the Last Day.
Revelation 13:4,5: Men **WORSHIPED THE DRAGON** {Satan as per Rev 12:9} because he had given authority to the Beast... The Beast will exercise his authority for 42 months (Not 7 years}.. And he will be given authority over **EVERY** tribe, people, language and **NATION**. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the Beast--all whose names have not been written in the Book of Life belonging to the **LAMB** that was slain!!
And then on the Last Day of the 1260-day Tribulation, Revelation 20:10 states: And the **DEVIL WHO DECEIVED THEM**, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur where the Beast and the False Prophet had been thrown {See Rev 19:20} They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever!
Revelation 12:11; They overcame him by the blood of the **LAMB** and by the word of their testimony; they {Like Jesus} did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death!!
Revelation 2:10: Jesus says, "Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the **CROWN OF LIFE**!!"
**Salvation is 100% Free but Heavenly **REWARDS** are 100% earned**

Psalm 119 has 176 verses praising the Word of God. The Old Testament had 613 laws and the New Covenant of Jesus and His love has about 400 commands which Psalm 119 also applies to. Some of my favorite verses is Psalm 119 are:

Matthew 24:35: Jesus says, Heaven and earth will pass away, but **MY WORDS WILL NEVER PASS AWAY**!"
I John 2:3-5: We know we have come to know Him {Jesus} if we obey His commands. The man who says, "I know Him," but does not do what He commands is a liar and the truth is not in him. But if anyone **OBEYS HIS WORD**, God's love is truly made complete in him!
Matthew 4:4: Jesus says, "Man does not live on bread alone, but on **EVERY WORD FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD**!"

James 1:22,25: Do not merely listen to the **WORD**, and so deceive yourselves. **DO WHAT IT SAYS**... The man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, **BUT DOING IT**, he will be blessed in what he does.

In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom, I give you this charge: **PREACH THE WORD**!!
**Salvation is 100% Free but Heavenly **REWARDS** are 100% earned**

**70 YEAR TIME PERIODS IN BIBLE PROPHECY AND THE 70TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE REBIRTH OF ISRAEL ON MAY 14TH, 2018**!!
**INTERESTING **70 YEAR** TIME PERIODS IN BIBLE PROPHECY**!!
It is interesting to note that the Kings of Israel ruled 490 Years or **70 YEARS** times **7** years, which was immediately followed by a **70 YEAR** exile of the Jews, which was then immediately followed by the amazing prophesy of the **70 YEARS** times **7** years Prophecy in Daniel 9:24-27; which will end with the 2nd coming of Jesus and **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS**!! Also in the prophecy of the **70 YEARS** times **7** years it states in Daniel 7:26 "The people of the {Roman} ruler who will come will destroy the city {Jerusalem} and the Sanctuary." This prophecy was fulfilled and the Jews exiled again in AD **70** until the rebirth of Israel at midnight, May 14th, 1948!! The **70 YEAR** Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel will take place at midnight on **MAY 14TH, 2018**??
Daniel 9:24-27: Seventy "sevens" {**70 YEARS** times 7 or 490 years} are decreed for your people and your holy city to **ANOINT THE MOST HOLY** {After 483 Years}, to **ATONE FOR WICKEDNESS** {After 486 1/2 years} and to bring in **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS** {On the Last Day of the Last 1260-day Tribulation or 490 total years}...From the issuing of the decree {By King Cyrus--See Isaiah 44:28} until the Anointed One comes {On October 5th AD 29}, there will be 62 7's and 7 7's {Or 69 7's or 483 years}... Then {3 1/2 years or 1278 days later} the Anointed One will be cut off...He will confirm a Covenant with many for one 7 {Or the Last 7 years}. In the middle of the 'seven' {After 3 1/2 years} He {The Anointed One} will put an **END TO SACRIFICES** and offering.{On April 3-5 AD 33} {And then after a long pause} He will set up an abomination that causes desolation {666} for 1260 days, until the decreed end is poured out on him at the 2nd Coming of Jesus {As per Rev 19:19,20 and 2 Thess 2:8} Which will bring in **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS** on the Last Day of the **70 YEARS** times 7 Prophecy!
Luke 3:21,22: When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on Him {ANOINTING} in bodily form like a dove. And a Voice came from heaven, "You are My Son, whom I love, with You I am well pleased!"
Matthew 18::21,22: Peter asked Jesus, "How many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not **7** times, but **70** times **7 times**!" {See NIV footnote}
Jesus is called the Son of David 17 times and David lived exactly **70 YEARS** as per 2 Samuel 5:4.
Acts 1:6,7: The disciples asked Jesus, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" Jesus said , "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by His own authority."
Luke 21:5,6,23,24: Some of His disciples were remarking about how the Temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, "As for what you see here, the time will come {In AD **70**} when not one stone will be left on another, every one of them will be thrown down!... There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations {In AD **70**}. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are **FULFILLED**!"
This prophecy was **FULFILLED** and The kingdom was restored to Israel at midnight on May 14th, AD 1948. It is interesting to note that **70 YEARS** after midnight, May 14th, 1948 will be at midnight,** MAY 14TH, 2018**!!???
By a very interesting coincidence this prophesy and the rising of Jesus to heaven took place exactly 40 days after the Resurrection of Jesus when our Savior put an end to all sacrifices for sin in the middle of the last **7** years of the **70 YEARS** times **7** years !! The Resurrection of Jesus took place on April 5th, AD 33 and 40 Bible days after April 5th, AD 33 would be **ASCENSION DAY** and would have been on sundown, May 14th AD 33 to sundown, May 15th, AD 33!! And so midnight, May 14th, AD 1948 is on **ASCENSION DAY** and **70 YEARS** later at midnight, **MAY 14TH, 2018** would also take place on **ASCENSION DAY**!!
Acts 1:1-3; 6-11: I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach until the **DAY** He was taken up to heaven... After His suffering {On April 3-5 AD 33}, He showed Himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a period of **FORTY DAYS** {Until ASCENSION DAY** which was from sundown, May 14th to sundown, May 15th AD 33} and spoke about the kingdom of God...So when they met together, they asked Him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" Jesus said to them, "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by His own authority {Which took place on midnight, May 14th, 1948}... After He said this, He was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid Him from their sight . They were looking intently up into the sky as He was going, when suddenly **TWO MEN** {Moses & Elijah} dressed in white stood beside them. "Men of Galilee," they said, "Why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven!!" {On the Last Day of the **70 YEARS** times **7**; when he will bring in **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS**!!}
Numbers 28:16: �On the 14th day of the 1st month the Lord�s Passover is to be held.� Exodus 12:6,7,12,13: �Take care of them {The Passover Lambs} until the 14th day of the month when all the people of Israel must slaughter them {See Lev 23:5} at Twilight {Just after sundown to nightfall}. Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the door frames of their houses. On that same night I will strike down the firstborn of the Egyptians� but when I see the blood I will PASS OVER you.� Deut 16:1: �Observe the month of ABIB and celebrate the PASS OVER of the Lord your God, because in the month of ABIB He brought you out of Egypt by night.� Lev 23:6: �On the 15th day of that month the Lord's 7-day Feast of Unleavened Bread begins.�
Luke 22:7,8: Then came the day on which the Passover Lamb �Had� to be sacrificed. Jesus said, �Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.� Christ became our Passover Lamb on Passover Day! 1 Cor 5:7: �For Christ our PASSOVER LAMB has been sacrificed.� Whereas the Jews {who were following the evil Babylonian moon calendar} held their Passover on the 15th of Nisan {Which always occurs on the night of a full moon} and observed the Passover on the WRONG DAY as per John 18:28: �Then the Jews led Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman Governor {Pilate}. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness the Jews did not enter the palace; for they wanted to be able to eat the PASSOVER!!� Which would have been the day �AFTER� Jesus correctly held the Passover on the 14th of ABIB which God had commanded.
So we can assume that the month of ABIB is different from the Babylonian moon month of Nisan and therefore has nothing to do with the moon. When does the first month of the Bible Year called ABIB begin??
Many Bible scholars believe that it may begin of the first day of SPRING or sundown March 20th to sundown March 21st. ABIB is the Hebrew word for SPRING. And so the 14th Day of ABIB can also be translated the 14th day of SPRING!!
And so Jesus became our Passover Lamb on Passover day which is always the 14th day of the month of Abib and is always from sundown April 2nd to sundown April 3rd And the Resurrection Day of Jesus is always on the 16th of Abib which is always from sundown, April 4th to sundown April 5th each and every year. And **ASCENSION DAY** is always 40 days after Resurrection Day which is from sundown May 14th to sundown May 15th each and every year. And so **ASCENSION DAY** is 56 days Or **7 X 7 + 7 DAYS** of the Bible Year. And so midnight May 14th, 1948 is 56th or **7 X 7 + 7 DAYS** of the Bible Year and the **70TH** Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel at midnight, May 14th, 2018 is also **7 X 7 + 7 DAYS** after the first day of the Bible year.
1260 days after the **70**TH Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel on **MAY 14TH, 2018** would be on **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021** and the **LAST DAY** would be **OCTOBER 24TH 2021 to **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021. **OCTOBER 24TH**, is exactly 217 days after the first day of the Bible year on March 21st. And so **OCTOBER 24TH, 2021** is exactly **7** 30-day Bible months plus **7** days after the first day of the Bible year when the **7**th angel may sound the **7**th and last trumpet at the second Coming of Jesus who will open the **7** SEALS of the End-Times and who will bring the **7th** DAY REST for the people of God. {Read Revelation 5:9 and Hebrews 4:9} **Jesus has {*7*} horns and {*7*} eyes which are the {*7*} spirits of God sent out into all the earth.{See Rev 5:6} and {*7*} mighty angels who stand before the throne of God.
**INTERESTING SPECULATIVE QUESTION**??
Will something interesting happen related to the **70 YEARS** times **7** Prophecy; take place exactly **70 YEARS** after the rebirth of Israel at midnight on **MAY 14TH, 2018**?? Such as the beginning of the Last half of the **70 YEARS** times **7**.{The 1260-day Great Tribulation} or the coming of God's two Israeli witnesses {Moses and Elijah} for their 1260-day testimony; or the signs that will take place shortly before the Great Tribulation??? This, of course, is just a very interesting **SPECULATION**!
If for example the 1260-day Great Tribulation begins on the **70TH** Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel at midnight **MAY 14TH, 2018** which is **7 X 7 +7** days of the Bible year; then it would end 1260 days later on midnight **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021** and the **LAST DAY** would be from midnight, October 24th 2021 to midnight October 25th 2021; and sundown October 24th 2021 is exactly **7** months and **7** days of the Bible year.when the **7** angel may sound the **7**th and Last Trumpet. Sundown, October 24th is exactly 217 days after sundown, March 21st and 217 days are **7** 30-day Bible months plus **7** days and may be the Last Day of the **70 7's** Prophecy which will bring in **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS**! As we have shown The **70TH** Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel is on May 14th, 2018 which is also **ASCENSION DAY** and the 56th day or **7 X 7 + 7**th day of the Bible year!!
Immediately after the Resurrection Day of the saints; mentioned in I Thessalonians 4:16,17; we read in I Thessalonians 5:4,5: But **YOU, BROTHERS**, are not in darkness so that **THIS DAY** should surprise you like a thief. You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness!!
Revelation 3:3: Jesus says, "Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But ***IF*** you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you!!"
When the 1260-day Great Tribulation begins or the 1260-day testimony of Moses and Elijah begins 1263 1/2 days before the Last Day; the saints will then know the exact Last Day when Jesus will come with **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS** which will begin on the Last Day of the **70 YEARS** times 7 !!
Question? Why did Jesus reduce the Great Tribulation or last half of the Last 7 years in Daniel 9:27 from 3 1/2 years or 1278 days to 1260-days or 42 30-day months? Matthew 24:21-22: Jesus says, "For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now {See Daniel 12:1,2}--and never to be equaled again. If those {1278} days had not been **CUT SHORT**, no one would survive, bur for the sake of the elect those {1278 } days will be shortened!" {to 1260 days} And so the 1278-day Great Tribulation and reign of **666** will be shortened by 18 or **6+6+6** days.
By comparing Revelation 12:6 with Revelation 12:14 we know that 1260 days and time {360 days} times {720 days} and 1/2 a time {180 days} is the exact same period of time. And by comparing Revelation 13:5 with Daniel 7:25 we know that 42 30-day months and time {12 months} times {24 months} and 1/2 a time {6 months} is the exact same period of time! And therefore 1260 days and 42 30-day months is the exact same period of time!
**WHAT SIGNS WILL TAKE PLACE SHORTLY BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE 1260-DAY GREAT TRIBULATION**??
**ARE SOME OF THESE SIGNS OF THE END-TIMES TAKING PLACE RIGHT NOW!!**??
Matthew 24:3-6,9: The disciples asked Jesus, "What will be the sign of your coming and the end of the age??" Jesus answered, "Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, claiming: 'I am the Christ;' and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen but the end is still to come." {Luke 21:11 adds: Jesus says, "There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven!"} "Then {During the 1260-day Tribulation} you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by **ALL NATIONS** because of Me!"
2 Timothy 3:1-5: But mark this: There will be terrible times **IN THE LAST DAYS** People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God--having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.
I Timothy 4:1-2: The Spirit say that **IN LATER TIMES** some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.
Daniel 12:4: Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll **UNTIL THE TIME OF THE END**! **MANY WILL GO HERE AND THERE** to **INCREASE KNOWLEDGE**!!
The **INCREASE IN KNOWLEDGE** and inventions in the last 110 years through Worldwide **RADIO, MOVIES, TELEPHONE, TELEVISION** and the **INTERNET** has been unbelievable compared to all the knowledge and inventions before that time!!
**MANY PEOPLE GOING HERE AND THERE** and everywhere has fantastically increased in the past 115 years with amazing **AUTOMOBILES, MOTORCYCLES, BUSES, TRAINS and AEROPLANES**!!
Matthew 24:15: Jesus says, This Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the **WHOLE WORLD** as a testimony to **ALL NATIONS** and **THEN THE END WILL COME**!"
The preaching of the Gospel throughout the **WHOLE WORLD** to even remote islands in the Pacific has just recently been **COMPLETED**!!
**WHAT ARE THE 4 AMAZING PROPHECIES CONCERNING ISRAEL THAT ALREADY HAVE BEEN FULFILLED OR ARE BEING FULFILLED **??
Jesus says, **THIS GENERATION** will certainly not pass away **UNTIL **ALL** THESE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED**" {Matthew 24:34}
Psalm 90:1,10: Lord you have been our dwelling place throughout **ALL GENERATIONS**.... The length of our days is **70 YEARS**--or *EIGHTY* if we have the strength!
Matthew 24:32-35: Jesus says, "Now learn this lesson from the **FIG TREE**. As soon as the twigs get tender and its **LEAVES COME OUT**, you know that summer is **NEAR**. Even so, when you see all these things {Which Jesus prophesied in Matthew 24:4-31}, you know that **IT IS **NEAR** right at the door. I tell you the truth, this {Israeli} **GENERATION** will certainly not pass away **UNTIL **ALL** THESE THINGS** {Which Jesus prophesied in Matthew 24:4-31} **HAVE HAPPENED**!. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away!"
After Jesus prophesied the complete destruction of the Temple the disciples asked Jesus in Matthew 24:3: "When will this {Temple destruction} happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"
It is interesting to note that the destruction of the Temple in the Olivet prophecies is only discussed by Jesus in Luke 21:20-24. Everything else Jesus prophesied before Matthew 24:32-35 above pertains to what will happen just before and during the 1260-day Great Tribulation In Matthew 24:4-31; which could possibly occur on **May 14th, 2018 to October 25th, 2021**.
Now the Preterist believes that **ALL THESE THINGS THAT HAPPENED** IN MATTHEW 24:4-31 including the 2nd coming of Jesus and the stars falling from the sky all took place before AD 70. The Preterist also believes that everything in Revelation including the 42 month reign by 666 over **EVERY NATION, TRIBE AND LANGUAGE** also took place before AD 70 and that **EVERYONE** in the world except the saints worshiped 666 before AD 70 as per Revelation 13:5-8!!
Matthew 21:42: Jesus said to the Jews, "The kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit."
Matthew 24:23,24: Jesus says, "There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled."
Acts 1:6,7: The disciples asked Jesus, :Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" Jesus answered, Iy is not for you to know the times and dates the Father has set by His own authority!" {The kingdom was restored to Israel at midnight on May 14th, 1948!}
Zechariah 13:8,9: In the whole land," declares the Lord, "Two thirds will be struck down and perish, yet one-third will be left in it. This third I will bring into the fire , I will refine the like silver and test them like gold. They will call on My name and I will answer them. I will say, "They are My people", and they will say, "The Lord is our God!"
Romans 11 :25,26: I do no want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers , so that you will not be conceited. Israel {**THE FIG TREE**} has experienced a hardening in part **UNTIL THE FULL NUMBER OF GENTILES COME IN**.. And so all Israel will be saved!! {The one third who are left during the Great Tribulation}
**WHEN WILL THE FULL NUMBER OF GENTILES COME IN**?? This will take place during the 1260-day Great Tribulation as per Revelation 7:9,13-15: There before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from **EVERY NATION, TRIBE, PEOPLE AND LANGUAGE**, standing before the throne in front of the **LAMB**. They were wearing white robes. ... Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes--who are they, and where did they come from?" I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who have **COME OUT OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION**, they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the **LAMB**. Therefore, they are before the throne of God."
Jeremiah 8:13: "I will take away their {Israel's} harvest", declares the Lord, "There will be no more figs on the tree. and their leaves will wither. What I have given them will be taken from them."
Matthew 21:18,19: Jesus was hungry. Seeing a **FIG TREE** by the road, He went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then He said, " May you never bear fruit again."
Joel 1:11,12: The harvest of the field is destroyed. The vine is dried up and the **FIG TREE** is withered.
Hosea 9:10: The Lord said, "When I found Israel..it was like seeing the early fruit on the **FIG TREE**!"
Revelation 6:13 And the stars of the sky fell to earth as late **FIGS** drop from a **FIG TREE**when shaken by a strong wind!
Matthew 24:32-34: Jesus says, "Now learn this lesson from the **FIG TREE**. As soon as its twigs get tender and its **LEAVES COME OUT**, you know that summer is near. Even so when you see these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, **THIS GENERATION** will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened!"
And so it is logical to assume that when Jesus said in Matthew 24:34 "**THIS GENERATION** will not pass away **UNTIL ALL THESE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED**" {In Matthew 24:3-31 including His 2nd Coming} that Jesus must be referring to a **FUTURE GENERATION** that must include the 1260-day Great Tribulation and His 2nd Coming!!
**AND SO THE PROPHECY CONCERNING THE RESTORATION OF THE KINGDOM OF ISRAEL IN ACTS 1:6,7 WAS FULFILLED AT MIDNIGHT, MAY 14TH, 19498** ISRAEL IS ALWAYS THE FIG TREE IN BIBLE PROPHECY AND ITS **LEAVES** STARTED TO COME OUT ON MAY 14TH, 1948 AND THE FIG TREE WILL BEAR FRUIT DURING THE 1260-DAY GREAT TRIBULATION. THE BIRTH OF THE **GENERATION** OF THE NEW BIRTH OF ISRAEL BEGAN ON MAY 14TH, 1948 AND WILL END 70 TO 80 YEARS AFTER MAY 14th, 1948. THIS ISRAELI **GENERATION** WILL NOT END UNTIL ALL THE EVENTS IN MATTHEW 24:4-31 ARE COMPLETED AS PER MATTHEW 24:32-34!**
There are many prophecies concerning the Jews in the end times, many of which began to be fulfilled in the 20th Century, but there are **FOUR** key ones {Or **LEAVES**}. The *FIRST** is their worldwide regathering. {Isaiah 11:12}. In 1900 there were only 40,000 Jews in Palestine. By the end of World War II that number had risen to 800,000. As of May, 2016, there were **6,450,000** Jews in Israel who have come from all over the world or the **FOUR QUARTERS OF THE EARTH**!. According to www.Jewishvirtuallibrary.org there is a population growth rate of 1.7 % a year of Jews in Israel which would be 3.4% in 2 years. If you multiply 3.4 % times 6,450,000 you would have about 216,000 more Jews in Israel by May of 2018. 6,450,000 plus 216,000 equals **6,66*0,000** Jews in Israel by **MAY 14 2018**!
The prophecies concerning the Jews before the 1260- Day Great Tribulation are the **LEAVES** of the **FIG TREE** which is Israel, But the **FIG TREE** will not bear **FRUIT** until one third of the Jews are saved during the Great Tribulation!
Isaiah 11:12 He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel, He will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the **FOUR QUARTERS OF THE EARTH**!!
The **SECOND** key prophecy concerning the Jews is a natural consequence of their regathering. It is the re-establishment of Israel which occurred on midnight, **MAY 14, 1948**.
Acts 1:6,7: They asked Jesus, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" Jesus said to them: "It is not for you to know the times and dates the Father has sent by His own authority." This amazing prophecy was fulfilled on midnight on **MAY 14TH, 1948**!! And the **70 YEAR ANNIVERSARY** of the rebirth of Israel and occupation of 1/2 of Jerusalem will be at midnight on **MAY 14TH, 2018**!!
The **THIRD** key prophecy is the Jewish re-occupation of all of **JERUSALEM** which occurred at 10 AM, June 7, 1967 during the miraculous Six Day War. Midnight,**MAY 14TH, 2018** is **49{7X7} YEARS** plus **707 DAYS** after 10 AM June 7th, 1967!!
Zechariah 8:4,5,7: This is what the Lord almighty says, "Once again men and women of ripe old age will sit in the streets of **JERUSALEM**, each with cane in hand because of his age. The city streets will be filled with boys and girls playing there!... I will save My people from the countries of the east and the west. I will bring them back to live in **JERUSALEM**!"
The **FOURTH** key prophecy is the one whose fulfillment we are witnessing today � the re-focusing of world politics upon the nation of Israel. All the nations of the world are coming against Israel over the issue of the control of the nation�s capital � the city of **JERUSALEM**{Zechariah 12:1-3}. The Vatican wants the city put under its control. The United Nations wants it to be internationalized. The European Union is demanding it be divided between the Arabs and the Jews. The Arabs want all of it. Donald Trump promises that he will make **JERUSALEM** the capital of Israel and all the Muslim nations are threatening war if this takes place, and this war could escalate into a **WORLD WAR AND WORLD CHAOS**!!
Zechariah 12:1-3 The Lord declares, "I am going to make **JERUSALEM** a cup that sends all the surrounding nations reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem, on that day, when all the nations of earth are gathered against her!!"
Jeremiah 29:12,13: This is what the The Lord Almighty says {About Jews} "I will make them abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth and an object of cursing and horror, of scorn and reproach among all the nations!!"
On December 23, 2016, the **UNITED NATIONS** of the world severely condemned Israel for its settlements! December 23rd, 2016 is exactly 507 days before the **70TH YEAR** Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel on **MAY 14TH, 2018**. 72 weeks or 72X7 would take up 504 days leaving 3 days or 72 hours. And so the time period from December 23rd, 2016 to **MAY 14TH, 2018** and the possible coming of **666** would be exactly **66+6** weeks plus **66+6** hours.
On December 23rd, 2016 Barak Hussein Obama abandoned America's commitment to Israel's security and the end of their democracy against Muslim aggression. In an act of cowardly venom Obama had the United States abstain from a United Nations resolution--and thereby effectively enact a United Nations resolution that completely condemns Israel and their settlements. A resolution that undertakes to render Israel indefensible. This very unfair resolution greatly increases the tension and chaos in the Middle East and gives the Muslim countries an excuse to increase their hostility toward Israel.
Donald Trump has promised that the Jews could have their **CAPITAL** in **JERUSALEM** and all the Muslim countries have promised that they would go to *WAR** with Israel if this takes place and this war could escalate into a **WORLD WAR AND WORLD CHAOS**!! On January 24th, 2017 Israel announced that it was going to build 2,500 New Settlements on Palestinian territory which absolutely contradicts the UN resolution and would further escalate the tensions in the Middle East; and gives the Muslim countries yet another excuse to increase their hostility toward Israel.
In the **7**th Day of the reign or the World's most powerful leader a **TRAVEL-BAN** was enforced on **7** Muslim countries. This has caused a worldwide condemnation and demonstrations in the USA and condemnation in most of the countries in the world. This and possibly many more actions by the world's most powerful World leader will surely cause **CHAOS** throughout the world.
According to the United Nations human rights body, Israel is the worst human rights vilater in the world today. That is the result of the latest session of the Human Rights Council which wrapped up in Geneva on March 24th, 2017 by adopting 5 times more resolutions condemning Israel than any other country on earth. In its history the Council has condemned Israel more than any other of the 192 UN states. Comparative totals after the sessions program tell the story: :Israel--78 resolutions and decisions Syria--29 North Korea--9 ISIS--8 and Iran--6. As for Russia and China there is nothing at all. Think of it this way: 500,000 dead in Syria, forced starvation and mass torture in North Korea. Systematic, lethal oppression and sponsored terrorism in Iran and an elementary lack of basic freedoms and oppression affecting over a billion people in Russia and China. But according to the UN Human Rights Council, little democracy Israel is by far the main evil problem in the world???
**COULD DONALD TRUMP BE PRESIDENT WHEN THE GREAT TRIBULATION BEGINS**??
As you know **70 7's** and **666** are very prominent numbers in Bible prophecy. Someone just pointed out to me that Donald Trump was born on June 14th, 1946 at 10:54 AM which I checked out. Donald Trump became the most powerful world leader when he was inaugurated at Noon on January 20th, 2017. And so Donald Trump was exactly **70 YEARS** plus **7 MONTHS** plus **6** days plus **66** minutes old when he becomes the most powerful leader in the world!
Donald Trump became the most powerful leader in the world at noon, on January 20th, 2017; and the **70TH YEAR** anniversary of the rebirth of Israel will be at midnight, **MAY 14TH, 2018**. Noon, January 20th, 2017 until Noon, May 14th, 2018 is exactly 479 days and noon, May 14th, 2018 until midnight, **MAY 14TH, 2018** would take place on the 480th day. **66** weeks or 66X7 equals 462 days; which leaves another 18 or **6+6+6** days!!! And so Donald Trump became the most powerful leader in the world exactly **66** weeks plus **6+6+6** days before the speculative coming off **666** who will then become the most powerful leader in the world.
Trump is certainly not a saint. About 80 % of the Evangelicals voted for him because they were afraid that Hillary would select the next 2 or 3 Chief Justices who would be very tough on Evangelicals who preached against gay marriage etc. and possibly remove their tax free status.
However, Trump is just as evil as Hillary or Obama. Trump's favorite pastor was the famous liberal, Norman Vincent Peale who made fun of people who believe in the inspiration of God's Word or the Divinity of Jesus or eternal hell etc, He also taught that it is moral to have a huge ego and you don't have to repent of your sins. Trump has repeatedly said that he has never repented of anything he did. Trump owned a gambling casino which really steal people's money with tremendous odds. His casino also had very lewd shows with topless women doing very sinful gyrations.
Trump has had 3 wives. In the last year of his first wife he had a very open adulterous relationship with Marla Maples, his future 2nd wife, and he then made the cover of Playboy magazine. He then married his 3rd and last wife who is 25 years younger. Trump became famous for bragging to a TV reporter that he could grab women's crotches and get away with it because he is so rich, handsome and famous. About 6 months ago 10 women claimed that they were sexually harassed or fondled by Trump. When someone objects to his vulgar language or ideas he is very good at viciously attacking them and he never turns the other cheek as Jesus has commanded. Trump is very rich and loves and worships the **ALMIGHTY DOLLAR**
Trump's favorite preacher for the past 15 years has been Paula White and she is now in the **INNER CIRCLE** of Trump's advisers. Paula White promotes pornography and declares that divorce is **GIFT FROM GOD** Paula White has made a fortune taking money from gullible people with her Prosperity Gospel. Paula White has also had an adulterous affair with Benny Hinn who is the king of those preaching the Prosperity Gospel.
I Timothy 6:9,10: People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and many foolish desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil!.
Trump and Putin and China are now by far the *THREE** most Powerful and Evil leaders in the world and have about 90 % of the world's nuclear bombs and would most likely embrace the coming of the evil 666!
THE AMAZING PROPHECY OF ST MALACHY IN AD 1139 THAT THERE WILL BE 112 POPES AFTER AD 1139 AND THAT DURING THE REIGN OF THE 112TH POPE THE END OF THE WORLD WILL COME. POPE FRANCIS IS THE 112TH POPE!!
St. Malachy was the Archbishop of Armagh, Ireland and a very good archbishop who always helped the poor. He claimed he experienced a vision while visiting Rome in 1139 AD. He said he saw every pope that would exist from the time of his vision until the last pope. The last pope would be the 112th from the time of his vision. Malachy also stated that the last pope would be a very evil pope and that God would judge everyone and the city of Rome would be destroyed during the reign of this last pope.
When John Paul II died on April 2, 2005, articles were written pointing out that the pope who would replace John Paul II would be the 111th pope. Benedict XVI was 78 years of age when he began his papacy on April 19th, 2005. Because of his advanced age, it was obvious that his reign as the Bishop of Rome could not last too long. Everyone understood the next pope, according to St. Malachy, would be the last pope. Malachy also said the church would be judged, Rome would be destroyed, and implied that the end of the world would come during this final papacy. The question on everyone�s mind was: How long till the 112th pope?
On February 11, 2013, Pope Benedict shocked the world by announcing his intention to resign from the papacy. This was the first resignation of a pope while in office in over 600 years. Benedict said that, at the age of 85, he no longer had the strength to execute the duties of leading the Roman Catholic Church. It was time to elect the 112th pope foretold in the vision of St. Malachy! Overlooking St. Peter�s Square, the announcement was made that Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina had been elected the 112th pope in the prophecy on March 13th, 2013!!
He was 76 years of age when elected pope and chose to take the name Pope Francis for his papal name. Francis is the first non-European pope and the first pope ever elected from the very Satanic Jesuit order. The Satanic Pope Francis is the leader of about 1,000,000,000 {One Billion} Roman Catholics and it is quite obvious that he is very evil and Satanic and possibly would qualify to be the future False Prophet of 666!!
**DOES POPE FRANCIS QUALIFY TO BE THE FUTURE FALSE PROPHET OF 666 WHO WILL COME UP FROM THE ABYSS OR HELL?? IS THE FUTURE FALSE PROPHET OF 666 ALREADY HERE!!**??
WILL 666 COME UP FROM THE ABYSS OR HELL??
Revelation 11:7: The Beast {666} that comes **UP FROM THE ABYSS** will attack them, and overpower and kill them.
Revelation 17:8: The Beast {666}, which you saw, once was {Alive}, now is not (Alive in AD 96}, and yet will **COME UP OUT OF THE ABYSS** and go to his destruction. {as per Rev 19:20 & 2 Thess 2:8} {That the Abyss is Hell is shown in Luke 8:30-31} There are many who believe that the **6**th Caesar who killed Paul and Peter in AD **66** and whose name adds up to exactly **666** in Hebrew, and is now in the Abyss or hell, will come up from the Abyss and become the Beast {*666*}who rule the world during the 1260-day Great Tribulation.
Jesus is called a **LAMB** 30 times in the book of Revelation and in Revelation 13:11 states the False Prophet of 666 will be **LIKE A LAMB** which implies that he may be a very deceptive religious leader.
Revelation 17:9 shows that the future headquarters of 666 and his False Prophet will be the evil city on 7 hills or Rome {See Rev 17:9}; which is also the present headquarters of Pope Francis and the former headquarters of 666 who will come up from the Abyss!! {See Daniel 7:23-25}
A Roman Catholic Priest Says Homosexuality Is Gift From God, And That The Bible Is Not The Word Of God, And Then Pope Francis Kisses His Hand And Praises Him??
A 93 year old Italian priest named Michele de Paolis, considered to be Italy�s most rebellious priest and amongst the most universally notorious advocates for the Catholic Church to change its position on homosexuality, said:, "Homosexual love is a gift from (God) no less than heterosexual. This same damned heretic said, "The Bible �is� not the word of God And now, just a few days ago, Francis, whether by his own will or through some malicious advisers, celebrated mass with this evil man and then kissed his hand????
VATICAN CITY (RNS) Pope Francis on Monday (Oct. 27) waded into the controversial debate over the origins of human life, saying the big bang theory and evolution did not contradict the role of a divine creator, but even required it. The pope was addressing the plenary assembly of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, which gathered at the Vatican to discuss �Evolving Concepts of Nature.� Pope Francis said, �When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything. But that is not so,� Francis said. �He created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one so they would reach their fulfillment.� �God is not a divine being or a magician, but the Creator who brought everything to life,� the pope said. �Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve.�
Giovanni Bignami, a professor and president of Italy�s National Institute for Astrophysics, welcomed Francis� comments, saying he had buried the �pseudo theories� of creationists. The pope�s statement is significant,� Bignami told Italian news agency Adnkronos. �We are the direct descendants from the Big Bang that created the universe. Evolution came from creation.�
Pope Francis: says, The Church could support civil unions??? By Daniel Burke, CNN Belief Blog Co-Editor (CNN) - Pope Francis suggested in a newspaper interview that it could support some types of civil unions. The Pope reiterated the church's longstanding teaching that "marriage is between a man and a woman." However, he said, "We have to look at different cases and evaluate them in their variety." States, for instance, justify civil unions as a way to provide economic security to cohabitating couples, the Pope said in a wide-ranging interview published Wednesday in Corriere della Sera, an Italian daily. State-sanctioned unions are thus driven by the need to ensure rights like access to health care, Francis added.
A number of Catholic bishops have supported civil unions for same-sex couples, including Pope Francis when he was Archbishop of Buenos Aires in 2010, according to reports in National Catholic Reporter and The New York Times. Behind closed doors, Pope Francis supported civil unions in Argentina, activist says. But Wednesday's comments are "the first time a Pope has indicated even tentative acceptance of civil unions," according to Catholic News Service.
Francis delivers homilies each day, the contents of which are summarized by Vatican Radio. On May 22, 2015 he caused no shortage of confusion when he suggested that even atheists could find salvation. Obama has said the exact same thing!!! In his homily, Francis said: "The Lord has redeemed all of us, with the Blood of Christ:, not just Catholics. Everyone! Even the atheists. Everyone!" However Jesus says, "No one can come to the Father except through Me." John 1:12,13: To all who received Him {Jesus}, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God--children born not of human descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God!
Pope Francis also says "Who am I to judge homosexuals." and Pope Francis states that sincere homosexuals will also enter the kingdom of heaven just like Obama. But what does God's Word say?? I Corinthians 6:9-11: Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor **HOMOSEXUAL OFFENDERS** will inherit the kingdom of God. {Unless they repent} And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Responding to a list of questions published in the paper by Mr Scalfari, who is not a Roman Catholic, Francis wrote: �You ask me if the God of the Christians forgives those who don�t believe and who don�t seek the faith. I start by saying � and this is the fundamental thing � that God�s mercy has no limits if you go to him with a sincere and contrite heart. The issue for those who do not believe in God is to obey their conscience. �Sin, even for those who have no faith, exists when people disobey their conscience"????
Pope Francis expressed praise on September 25th, 2015 for Obama's ridiculous nuclear deal struck with very evil Iran during a speech at the United Nations' General Assembly in New York. "The recent agreement reached on the nuclear question in a sensitive region of Asia and the Middle East is proof of the potential of political good will and of law, exercised with sincerity, patience and constancy."
Pope Francis totally agrees with Obama and believes that all who do not believe in Global Warming are sinning and everyone who does not do something to reduce global warming is sinning.
Pope Francis is an extreme socialist who believes that all capitalism is extremely evil!! The Pope also loves socialism just like Obama and believes that anyone who does not believe in socialism is sinning!
For the First Time in History a Pope has declared that people of all beliefs other than Christianity such as Muslims and even atheists shall go to heaven if they are sincere and lead a good life.
For the First Time in History in History a Pope refuses to judge or condemn homosexuals or those who participate in Gay Marriage!!
For the First Time in History a Pope has declared that everyone who does not believe in Global Warming is Sinning and all who do not do something to reduce Global Warming is Sinning!!
For the First Time in History a Pope has declared that **ALL** capitalism is evil and all who do not believe in socialism are Sinning!!
For the first time in History the Roman Catholic Church has elected a **JESUIT POPE*!! One of the main enforcers of the Roman Catholic Inquisitions were the Jesuits. All Jesuits take the same Satanic oath today. Pope Francis has taken and administered this same Satanic Jesuit oath which includes the following amazing statements:"I promise and declare that I will, when opportunity presents, make and wage war , secretly and openly, against all heretics and protestants as I am directed to do, to extirpate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex nor condition, and that I will hang, burn, waste, boil, flay, strangle, and bury alive those infamous heretics; rip open their stomachs and wombs of their women, and crush their infants heads against the walls in order to annihilate their execrable race.
And so it is interesting to note that the 112th and last pope {??} who is the leader of about 1,000,000,000 {One Billion} Roman Catholics agrees with Satan on everything!!
Matthew 23:9: "Jesus says, "Do not call *ANYONE on earth 'father,' for you have **ONE FATHER**, and He is in *HEAVEN*!!" This is an obvious reference to a SPIRITUAL FATHER since earthly fathers of earthly children are mentioned hundreds of times in God's Word. And so according to Jesus: calling the leader of the Satanic Roman Catholic Church 'Holy Father' is a terrible sin.
Pope Francis {Who Satanists call **HOLY FATHER**} has made a Papal Decree stating that he alone has given power to Roman Catholic priests {Who Satanists call **FATHERS**} to forgive **ALL ABORTIONS** which would include Gruesome and Horrific Abortions an hour before conception!! Is this **MURDER**??
As usual, the Satanic Pope Francis is absolutely contradicting God's Sacred Word!!:
Psalm 22:10: David said, "From my mother's **WOMB** you have been My God!"
Psalm 139:13: David said, "For you created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's **WOMB**!"
Isaiah 44:2: This is what the Lord says--He who made you, who formed you in the **WOMB**!
Isaiah 44:24: This is what the Lord says--your Redeemer, who formed you in the **WOMB**!
Jeremiah 1:5: The Lord said, "Before I formed you in the **WOMB** I knew you!"
And so we can safely conclude that Pope Francis completely qualifies to be the future deceptive False Prophet of 666 from the evil city on 7 hills!!
Pope Francis was born at 9 PM on December 17th, 1936 in Buenos Aries Argentina which is 5 hours less than Jerusalem Bible time which would be 2 AM, December 18th, 1936. What is the interesting time period between 2 AM , December 18th, 1936 to 2 AM, **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021**??
The time period from December 18th, 1936 to December 18th, 2020 is exactly 84 years or **77 + 7** years. And the time period between December 18th 2020 and **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021** is exactly 315 days.
***7** 30-day Bible months would be 210 days leaving 105 days. 14 or **7 + 7** weeks would take 98 days leaving **7** days!
And so the total time period from the birth of Pope Francis at 2 AM, December 18th,1936, Jerusalem time; to 2 AM, October 25th, 2021 would be **77 + 7** years plus **7** months Plus**7+7** weeks plus **7** days before the Last Day on **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021 at the possible 2nd Coming of Jesus, who holds the 7 spirits of God and the 7 angels, when the **7** angel will sound the **7**th and last trumpet!!
**BIBLE CHRONOLOGY BEGINNING WITH THE CREATION OF ADAM UNTIL NOW**
These chronologies are recorded in Genesis 5:2-32 and Genesis 11:10-26:
Adam became the father of Seth at age .............. 130
Seth became the father of Enosh at age ...............105
Enosh became the father of Kenan at age ............. 90
Kenan became the father of Mahalel at age..............70
Mahalel became the father of Jared at age..............65
Jared became the father of Enoch at age ..............162
Enoch became the father of Methusaleh at age ......... 65
Methusaleh became the father Lamech at age.......... 187
Lamech became the father of Noah at age ..............182
Noah became the father of Shem at age ................500
Shem became the father of Arphaxed at age ............100
Arphaxad became the father of Shelah at age .......... 35
Shelah bacame the father of Eber at age ...............30
Eber became the father of Peleg at age ................34
Peleg became the father of Reu at age .................30
Reu became the father of Serug at age .................32
Serug became the father of Nahor at age ...............30
Nahor became the father of Terah at age ...............29
Terah became the father of Abram{Abraham}at age...70 for a total of 1946 years after Adam was created.
Abraham entered the land of Canaan at age 75 which was 2021 years after Adam was created.
Exodus 12:40: Now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt and Canaan{See NIV footnote}was 430 years. At the end of 430 years, **TO THE VERY DAY** the Lord's divisions left Egypt.
So Israel left Egypt 430 years after Abraham entered Canaan which was 2021 years after Adam was created and so Israel left Egypt 2021 + 430 or 2451 years after Adam was created.
**CHRONOLOGY OF THE 22 KINGS**Saul king of all Israel for 42 years {I Samuel 13:1}
David king of all Israel for 40 years {I Kings 2:11}
Solomon king of all Israel for 40 years {I Kings 11:42} Solomon started to build God's Temple 3 years and 32 days after he began to reign.
After the death of King Solomon; the Kingdom of Israel was divided into Northern Israel with the Kings of Israel and southern Israel with 19 kings of Judah with headquarters in Jerusalem. The Kingdom of northern Israel was exiled by the King of Assyria during the reign of Ahaz, king of Judah. {Read 2 Kings 17:1-41}
**19 KINGS OF JUDAH**
Rehoboam king for 17 years {I Kings 14:21}
Abijah king for 5 years {I Kings 15:1,2}
Asa king for 41 years {I Kings 15:9,10}
Jehoshaphat king for 25 years {2 Chron 20:31}
Jehoram king for 8 years {2 Chron 21:5}
Ahaziah king for 1 year {2 Chron 22:2}
Joash hidden in Temple for 6 years as the King of Israel Athaliah ruled for 6 years {2 Chron 22:12}
Joash then became king for 40 years {2 Chron 24:19}
Amaziah king for 29 years {2 Chron 25:1}
Uzziah {Also called Azariah} king for 52 years {2 Chron 26:2}
Jotham king for 16 years {2 Chron 27:1}
Ahaz king for 16 years {2 Chron 28:1}
Hezekiah king for 29 years {2 Chron 29:1}
Manasseh king for 55 years { 2 Chron 33:1}
Amon king for 2 years {2 Chron 33:21}
Josiah king for 31 years {2 Chron 34:1}
Jehoahaz king for 3 months {2 Chron 36:2}
Jehoiakim king for 11 years {2 Chron 36:5}
Jehoiachin king for 3 months {2 Chron 36:9}
Zedekiah king for 11 years {2 Chron 36:11}
For a total of 490 years + 6 months + 10 days {Or 190 days}for the 22 kings above before the 70-year exile of Israel to Babylon. {See 2 Chronicles 36:20,21.
I Kings 6:1 In the 480th year after the Israelites had come out of Egypt, in the 4th year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, the second month, he began to build the Temple of the Lord. 2 Chronicles 3:2: He {Solomon} began building on the second day of the second month in the 4th year of his reign.
And so Solomon began building the Temple after 3 years and 32 days of the 4th year of his reign and 479 years and 32 days of the 480th year after the Israelites left Egypt which was 2451 years after the birth of Adam for a total of 2930 years + 32 days after the birth of Adam.
Saul had reigned 42 years and David ruled for 40 years and Solomon reigned 3 years and 32 days for a total of 85 years and 32 days from the first day of Saul's reign until the Temple was started. And since the 22 Judean kings ruled 490 years + 190 days before their 70 year exile to Babylon then there would have been 405 years + 158 days from when Solomon started the Temple until the 70-year exile. 490 years plus 190 days minus 85 years + 32 days equals exactly 405 years plus 158 days.
250 years earlier the Lord made this amazing prophecy in Isaiah 45:13: The Lord said, "I will raise up Cyrus in My righteousness. He will rebuild My city and set my exiles free!!" {Read 2 Chronicles 36:22,23}
Daniel 9:24,25: 70 7's {or 490 years} are decreed for your people and your Holy City... Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decree {By King Cyrus} to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the Ruler, comes, there will be 7 7's and 62 7's {69 7's or 483 years}!!
And so this amazing prophecy confirms that the coming and Anointing of the Anointed Savior would take pace exactly 69 7's or 483 years after the decree of Cyrus which took place on October 5th, AD 29 which was 3 1/2 years or 1278 days before Jesus put an end to all sacrifices for sin in the middle of the last 7 years {See Dan 9:27a} on April 3-5, AD 33.
And so the time period from Solomon starting the Temple to the Anointing of Jesus would have been 405 years + 158 days + 70 years + 483 years for a total of 958 years and 158 days. And the time period from the birth of Adam to Solomon starting the Temple would have been 2930 years + 32 days plus 958 years + 158 days for a grand total of 3,888 years plus 190 days.
Let us suppose that the 1260-day Great Tribulation will begin on the 70-YEAR** Anniversary of Israel on **MAY 14TH, 2018** and end 1260 days later at the 2nd Coming of Jesus on **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021**
The time period from the Anointing of Jesus or the 1st Coming of Jesus on October 5th, AD 29 to the speculative 2nd Coming of Jesus on October 25th, 2021 would be exactly 1992 years plus 20 days. And then the time period from the birth of Adam to the 2nd Coming of Jesus would be 1,992 years + 20 days plus 3,888 years + 190 days for a grand total of 5,880 years plus 210 days. 7 times 840 years is 5,880 years and so **7** times **770 + 70** years is also 5,880 years. And 210 days is also **70+70+70** days. And so the time period from the birth of Adam to the possible 2nd Coming of Jesus would be exactly **7** times **770+70** years plus **70+70+70** days!!
The idea that something may happen related to the End-Times on the **70** YEAR ANNIVERSARY** of the birth of Israel is, of course, just an interesting **SPECULATION**!
**Salvation is 100% Free but Heavenly **REWARDS** are 100% earned**

**WHAT PROPHECIES CONCERNING THE JEWS, ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM HAVE BEN FULFILLED, ARE BEING FULFILLED OR WILL BE FULFILLED**??
**WHEN WAS THE KINGDOM RESTORED TO ISRAEL**??
It is interesting to note that the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in the Olivet prophecies is only discussed by Jesus in Luke 21:20-24. All the other prophecies are related to the Great Tribulation, the Second Coming of Jesus and the Judgment in Matthew 25.
Luke 21:20,:23,24: Some of the disciples were remarking about how the Temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, "As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another, every one will be thrown down." "Teacher," they asked, "When will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?".... Jesus answered, "When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near... There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled." {Here Jesus confirms that there will come a time when the Jews will again rule Jerusalem when the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled}
Matthew 21:42: Jesus said to the Jews, "the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit!"
Daniel 9:25-27: From the issuing of the decree {By King Cyrus on October 5th, 455 BC} to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the Ruler comes there will be 7 7's {49 years} and 62 7's [434 years} {For a total of 483 years on October 5th, AD 29} Jerusalem will be rebuilt but in times of trouble {49 years after Cyrus's decree or 406 BC} After the 62 7's (3 1/2 years After His coming on April 3-5, AD 33}, the Anointed One will be cut off. The {Roman} people of the ruler who will come will destroy Jerusalem and the Sanctuary {in AD 70}. He {The Anointed One} will confirm a Covenant with many for one 7. In the middle of the 7 {3 1/2 years after His Anointing} He will put an end to **SACRIFICE** and offering {For sin} He will set up an Abomination that causes desolation {666}.{For 42 months} until the decreed end is poured out on him {See Rev 19:20 and 2 Thess 2:8} {The Anointed One gave us a New Covenant for 3 1/2 years after His first Coming and then prophesied of a 42 month Great Tribulation immediately before His 2nd Coming in the Olivet prophesies and in the Revelation of Jesus Christ} {The last 3 1/2 years or 1278 days was shortened to 1260 days or 42 {30-day} months as per Matthew 24:21,22}
Daniel 9:24: 70 7's {490 years} are decreed to to **ANOINT THE MOST HOLY** {After 69 7's or 483 years}, to **ATONE FOR WICKEDNESS** {After 69 1/2 7's or 486 1/2 years} and to bring in **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS** {After 70 7's on the Last Day at the Second Coming of Jesus}!
Acts 1:6,7: The disciples asked Jesus, "Lord, are you at this time going to **RESTORE THE KINGDOM TO ISRAEL**?" Jesus answered, It is not for you to know the times and dates the Father has set by His own authority!" {The kingdom was restored to Israel at midnight on May 14th, 1948!}
**WHEN WILL ISRAEL {*THE FIG TREE*} AGAIN BEAR FRUIT**?? **THEY WILL SAY, "THE LORD IS OUR GOD!"
Zechariah 13:8,9: In the whole land," declares the Lord, "Two thirds will be struck down and perish, yet one-third will be left in it. This third I will bring into the fire, I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on My name and I will answer them. I will say, "They are My people", and they will say, "The Lord is our God!"
Romans 11 :25,26: I do no want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers , so that you will not be conceited. Israel {**THE FIG TREE**} has experienced a hardening in part **UNTIL THE FULL NUMBER OF GENTILES COME IN**.. And so all Israel will be saved!! {The one third who are left during the Great Tribulation}
**WHEN WILL THE FULL NUMBER OF GENTILES COME IN**?? This will take place during the 1260-day Great Tribulation as per Revelation 7:9,13-15: There before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from **EVERY NATION, TRIBE, PEOPLE AND LANGUAGE**, standing before the throne in front of the **LAMB**. They were wearing white robes. ... Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes--who are they, and where did they come from?" I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who have **COME OUT OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION**, they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the **LAMB**. Therefore, they are before the throne of God."
And just before this event when the full number of Gentiles are saved; **144,000 JEWS WILL BE SAVED. 12,000 EACH FROM THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL**.as per Revelation 7:5-8. These 144,000 Jews with the help of 2 Jewish witnesses {Moses and Elijah} will help in converting these 2,220,000 Jews.
Jeremiah 8:13: "I will take away their {Israel's} harvest", declares the Lord, "There will be no more **FIGS** on the tree. and their **LEAVES** will wither. What I have given them will be taken from them."
Matthew 21:18,19: Jesus was hungry. Seeing a **FIG TREE** by the road, He went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then He said, " May you never bear fruit again."
Joel 1:11,12: The harvest of the field is destroyed. The vine is dried up and the **FIG TREE** is withered.
Hosea 9:10: The Lord said, "When I found Israel..it was like seeing the early fruit on the **FIG TREE**!"
Revelation 6:13 And the stars of the sky {See Matthew 24:29-31} fell to earth as late **FIGS** drop from a **FIG TREE**when shaken by a strong wind!
**JESUS SAYS, "THIS **GENERATION** WILL CERTAINLY NOT PASS AWAY UNTIL ALL THESE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED**
Matthew 24:32-34: Jesus says, "Now learn this lesson from the **FIG TREE**{ISRAEL}. As soon as its twigs get tender and its **LEAVES COME OUT** {Starting at May 14th,1948}, you know that summer {The Great Tribulation} is near {When the **FIG TREE ISRAEL WILL BEAR FRUIT!}. Even so, when you see these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, **THIS GENERATION** will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened!" {This **FUTURE GENERATION** would include all of the Olivet prophecies concerning the Great Tribulation and the 2nd Coming of Jesus}
Psalm 90:10: Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout **ALL GENERATIONS**...The length of our days is **70 YEARS**--or **EIGHTY**, if we have the strength!
**THE GENERATION OF THE NEW BIRTH OF ISRAEL BEGAN ON MAY 14TH, 1948 AND THE **70TH** GENERATION ANNIVERSARY WILL BE ON MAY 14TH, 2018!!
ISAIAH 11:12: **HE WILL RAISE A BANNER FOR THE NATIONS AND GATHER THE EXILES OF ISRAEL. HE WILL ASSEMBLE THE SCATTERED PEOPLE OF JUDAH FROM THE **FOUR QUARTERS OF THE EARTH**
There are many prophecies concerning the Jews in the end times, many of which began to be fulfilled in the 20th Century. One of which is their **WORLDWIDE GATHERING** {Isaiah 11:12}. In 1900 there were only 40,000 Jews in Palestine. By the end of World War II that number had risen to 800,000. As of May, 2016, there were **6,450,000** Jews in Israel who have come from all over the world or the **FOUR QUARTERS OF THE EARTH**!. According to www.Jewishvirtuallibrary.org there is a population growth rate of 1.7 % a year of Jews in Israel which would be 3.4% in 2 years. If you multiply 3.4 % times 6,450,000 you would have about 216,000 more Jews in Israel by May of 2018. 6,450,000 plus 216,000 equals **6,66*0,000** Jews in Israel by **MAY 14 2018**! One third of the Jews in the land will be saved during the Great Tribulation And so about 2,220,000 Jews will be saved. It is estimated that only about 4,000 Jews in Israel are saved at the present time.
The prophecies concerning the Jews before the 1260- Day Great Tribulation are the **LEAVES** of the **FIG TREE** which is Israel, But the **FIG TREE** will not bear **FRUIT** until one third of the Jews are saved during the Great are saved during the Great Tribulation!
**ANOTHER INTERESTING PROPHECY** is the Jewish re-occupation of all of **JERUSALEM** which occurred at 10 AM, June 7, 1967 during the miraculous Six Day War. Midnight,**MAY 14TH, 2018** is 49 {**7X7**} YEARS** plus **707 DAYS** after 10 AM June 7th, 1967!!
Zechariah 8:4,5,7: This is what the Lord almighty says, "Once again men and women of ripe old age will sit in the streets of **JERUSALEM**, each with cane in hand because of his age. The city streets will be filled with boys and girls playing there!... I will save My people from the countries of the east and the west. I will bring them back to live in **JERUSALEM**!"
**ANOTHER INTERESTING PROPECY** is the one whose fulfillment we are witnessing today � the re-focusing of world politics upon the nation of Israel. All the nations of the world are coming against Israel over the issue of the control of the nation�s capital � the city of **JERUSALEM**{Zechariah 12:1-3}. The Vatican wants the city put under its control. The United Nations wants it to be internationalized. The European Union is demanding it be divided between the Arabs and the Jews. The Arabs want all of it. Donald Trump promises that he will make **JERUSALEM** the capital of Israel and all the Muslim nations are threatening war if this takes place, and this war could escalate into a **WORLD WAR AND WORLD CHAOS**!!
Zechariah 12:1-3 The Lord declares, "I AM GOING TO MAKE **JERUSALEM** A CUP THAT SENDS ALL THE SURROUDING NATIONS REELING*. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem, on that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her!!"
Donald Trump has promised that the Jews could have their **CAPITAL** in **JERUSALEM** and all the Muslim countries have promised that they would go to *WAR** with Israel if this takes place and this war could escalate into a **WORLD WAR AND WORLD CHAOS**!!
**ANOTHER INTERESTING PROPHECY** is found in Jeremiah 29:18: This is what the Lord Almighty says {About Jews} "I WILL MAKE THEM ABHORRENT TO ALL THE KINGDOMS OF THE EARTH AND AN OIBJECT OF CURSUNG AND TERROR, OF SCORN AND REPROACH AMONG THE NATIONS!"
On December 23, 2016, the **UNITED NATIONS** of the world severely condemned Israel for its settlements! December 23rd, 2016 is exactly 507 days before the **70TH YEAR** Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel on **MAY 14TH, 2018**. 72 weeks or 72X7 would take up 504 days leaving 3 days or 72 hours. And so the time period from December 23rd, 2016 to **MAY 14TH, 2018** and the possible coming of **666** would be exactly **66+6** weeks plus **66+6** hours.
On December 23rd, 2016 Barak Hussein Obama abandoned America's commitment to Israel's security and the end of their democracy against Muslim aggression. In an act of cowardly venom Obama had the United States abstain from a United Nations resolution--and thereby effectively enact a United Nations resolution that completely condemns Israel and their settlements. A resolution that undertakes to render Israel indefensible. This very ridiculous unfair resolution greatly increases the tension and chaos in the Middle East and gives the Muslim countries an excuse to increase their hostility toward Israel.
On January 24th, 2017 Israel announced that it was going to build 2,500 New Settlements on Palestinian territory which absolutely contradicts the UN resolution and would further escalate the tensions in the Middle East; and gives the Muslim countries yet another excuse to increase their hostility toward Israel.
According to the United Nations human rights body, Israel is the worst human rights violater in the world today. That is the result of the latest session of the Human Rights Council which wrapped up in Geneva on March 24th, 2017 by adopting 5 times more resolutions condemning Israel than any other country on earth!! In its history the Council has condemned Israel more than any other of the 192 UN states. Comparative totals after the UN sessions program tell the story: :Israel--78 resolutions and decisions Syria--29 North Korea--9 ISIS--8 and Iran--6. As for Russia and China there is nothing at all.
Think of it this way: 500,000 dead in Syria, forced starvation and mass torture in North Korea. Systematic, lethal oppression, amazing atrocities, and sponsored terrorism in Iran and ISIS, and an elementary lack of basic freedoms and oppression affecting over a billion people in Russia and China. But according to the UN Human Rights Council, the little democracy Israel is by far the main evil problem in the world???
**GOD INSPIRED **32 JEWS** TO WRITE EVERY WORD IN THE OT WORD OF GOD AND GOD INSPIRED **8 JEWS** TO WRITE EVERY WORD IN THE NT WORD OF GOD**!!
**OUR ETERNAL HOME IS CALLED THE **NEW JERUSALEM** AND ON ITS 12 GATES WILL BE THE NAMES OF THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL AND ON ITS 12 FOUNDATIONS WILL BE THE NAMES OF THE 12 JEWISH APOSTLES {PAUL instead of Judas}** {See Revelation 21:2 and Revelation 21:12 and Revelation 21:14}
Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior is called the **SON OF DAVID** 17 times in the NT and in Revelation Jesus is called **THE ROOT AND OFFSPRING OF DAVID** and **THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH** {See Revelation 22::16 and Revelation 5:5!}
In John 4:22 Jesus declares "**SALVATION IS FROM THE JEWS**"
Jesus promised to 12 Apostles who followed Him {Including Paul?} that they would be given 12 THRONES and the authority to JUDGE in Matthew 19:28 & Luke 22:30. In Revelation 4:4 Before the beginning of the Great Tribulation John saw exactly 24 thrones surrounding God's Throne in Heaven.
Revelation 4:4: Surrounding God's Throne were **24 OTHER THRONES**, and seated on them were **24 ELDERS. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads!!
Matthew 19:28: Jesus said to His Apostles, "I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious Throne, you who have followed Me {Paul instead of Judas} will also sit on **12 THRONES**!"
Luke 22:30: Jesus said to His Apostles, "I confer on you a Kingdom, just as My Father conferred one on Me, so that you may eat and drink at My table in My Kingdom and sit on **THRONES**!"
The other **12 THRONES** were most likely given to 12 prominent OT super saints such as Abraham, David, Moses, Elijah, Daniel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Joseph, Samuel, Joshua, Enoch and Noah!
WHO WILL BE GOD'S TWO WITNESSES {REV 11:3} OR MEN {REV 11:6} OR PROPHETS {REV 11:10}??
Zechariah 4:11,14: "Then I asked the angel, 'What are these *TWO* OLIVE TREES {See Rev 11:4 below} on the right and left of the lamp stand?'... the angel said, 'These are the TWO who are anointed to serve the Lord of the earth!'" Rev 11:3-6: {God said to John} "I will give power to My *TWO* witnesses and they will prophesy for 1260 days clothed in sackcloth! These are the *TWO OLIVE TREES {See Zech 4:11,14 above} and the 2 lamp stands that stand before the Lord of the earth. If anyone tries to harm them, fire will come from their mouths to destroy their enemies. This is how anyone who tries to harm them must die {See 2 Kings 1:9-12; Num 16:31-35}. These *MEN* will have power to shut up the sky so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying {See 1 Kings 17:1; Luke 4:25; James 5:17}; and they will have power to turn the waters into blood {See Exodus 7:15-23} and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish."
Moses and Elijah witnessed to 3 Apostles on the mount of Transfiguration when Moses & Elijah spoke to Jesus about his departure or Ascension, which Jesus was to bring to fulfillment in Jerusalem 40 days after His resurrection. Luke 9:30,31: �TWO MEN Moses and Elijah, appeared in GLORIOUS SPLENDOR talking with Jesus. They spoke about His Departure {Or Ascension} which He was about to bring to fulfillment in Jerusalem." Moses and Elijah were most assuredly the *TWO MEN* dressed in white who witnessed at the Departure or Ascension of Jesus in Acts 1:10,11: "They looked up into the sky as He {Jesus} was going when suddenly *TWO MEN* dressed in WHITE stood beside them. "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into Heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into Heaven!"
And then in Luke 24:2b-6b we read: They did not find the body of Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly *TWO MEN*... stood beside them... And the *MEN* said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? HE IS NOT HERE; HE HAS RISEN!!" Jesus says in John 8:17b: "The testimony of *TWO MEN IS VALID* and of course the testimony of Moses and Elijah is just about as valid as you can get. And so the coming of God's *TWO MEN* or witnesses to prophesy for 1260 days {See Rev 11:3-7} will be their FOURTH appearance as God's 2 witnesses or MEN. And the reason that their names are not mentioned in Luke 24:3 and Acts 1:10 and Rev 11:3-12 is that the Father, Moses and Elijah want us to glorify *NO ONE ELSE BUT JESUS*!!
Moses and Elijah will most likely witness miraculously to people in the uttermost parts of the earth in all 6,000 languages. Presently the Bible has been translated into about 2,000 languages from the inspired Greek and Hebrew manuscripts and faith comes from hearing or reading the sword of the spirit which is the Word of God. The Bible still has not been translated into about 4,000 languages and Rev 5:9b and Rev 7:9,13,14 must be completely fulfilled. Surely the courageous tribulation saints will help Moses and Elijah spread God's Word. They will do a fantastic job since according to Rev 7:9,14 there will be a great multitude from EVERY TRIBE AND LANGUAGE who will be �washed in the Blood of the Lamb�.
Moses & Elijah will be dressed in SACKCLOTH which is appropriate since the Tribulation saints will be very poor, for they will not be able to buy or sell anything as per Rev 13:17. Moses and Elijah will certainly speak the Word of God with great power and love. They will not add or take words away from the Prophetic Words of God {See Rev 22:18,19}; and they will encourage God's courageous saints to adhere to *ALL* of the NT commandments {See Rev 12:13b; 14:12b; Matt 28:20a; John 14:15,21,23; I John 2:2-5} with love {See Matt 5:39-48 & Rom 12:17-21} in the face of severe and hostile persecution.
Moses and Elijah will warn us of the coming of 666 & his False Prophet. It seems very appropriate that God will send His TWO PROPHETS {See Rev 11:10b} to warn and prepare His saints for the coming of Satan, 666 and the Great Tribulation for in Amos 3:7 we read: "Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the PROPHETS!" God will allow 666 to martyr Moses and Elijah {See Rev 11:7,8} right where their Lord was crucified. {At the new *HOLY PLACE* where Jesus shed his blood for our sins} 3 1/2 days later Moses and Elijah will rise to heaven just hours before the 7th angel sounds the 7th Trump at the 2nd coming of Jesus.{See Rev 11:11-18}
Mark 13:14: Jesus says, �When you see 666 standing where he does not belong {At the New Holy Place}....then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.� {See Rev 11:7,8 & Rev 16:15} John 2:19: Jesus said, �Destroy this TEMPLE and I will raise it again in 3 days.� This HOLY PLACE is where Jesus became the chief cornerstone {Eph 2:20,21} and we are living stones {I Pet 2:5 & 2 Cor 6:16} in the LAST TEMPLE made without hands! {Acts 17:24} Certainly, the old Jerusalem and the old Temple site are NO LONGER HOLY PLACES. Hebrews 13:12-14: "Jesus suffered outside the city gate to make the people HOLY THROUGH HIS BLOOD. Let us, then, go to Him outside the city, bearing the disgrace He bore. For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the CITY {THE NEW JERUSALEM} that is to come." {See Heb 11:10,13-16; Heb 12:22; Rev 3:12b; 21:2,10-27; 22:1-5; 2 Pet 3:13}
Gal 4:25,26: "Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem {Called Sodom in Rev 11:8} because she is in slavery with her children. But the **JERUSALEM** that is **ABOVE** is free, and she is our mother." {The **NEW JERUSALEM**}

**ANOTHER INTERESTING PROPHECY** is the Jewish re-occupation of all of **JERUSALEM** which occurred at 10 AM, June 7, 1967 during the miraculous Six Day War. Midnight,**MAY 14TH, 2018** is **49{**7X7**} YEARS** plus **707 DAYS** after 10 AM June 7th, 1967!!
On December 23, 2016, the **UNITED NATIONS** of the world severely condemned Israel for its settlements! December 23rd, 2016 is exactly 507 days before the **70TH YEAR** Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel on **MAY 14TH, 2018**. 72 weeks or 72X7 would take up 504 days leaving 3 days or 72 hours. And so the time period from December 23rd, 2016 to **MAY 14TH, 2018** and the possible coming of **666** would be exactly **66+6** weeks plus **66+6** hours.
On December 23rd, 2016 Barak Hussein Obama abandoned America's commitment to Israel's security and the end of their democracy against Muslim aggression. In an act of cowardly venom Obama had the United States abstain from a United Nations resolution--and thereby effectively enact a United Nations resolution that completely condemns Israel and their settlements.

Psalm 90:10: Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout **ALL GENERATIONS**...The length of our days is **70 YEARS**--or **EIGHTY**, if we have the strength!
**THE GENERATION OF THE NEW BIRTH OF ISRAEL BEGAN ON MAY 14TH, 1948 AND THE **70TH** GENERATION ANNIVERSARY WILL BE ON MAY 14TH, 2018!!
Numbers 28:16: �On the 14th day of the 1st month the Lord�s Passover is to be held.� Exodus 12:6,7,12,13: �Take care of them {The Passover Lambs} until the 14th day of the month when all the people of Israel must slaughter them {See Lev 23:5} at Twilight {Just after sundown to nightfall}. Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the doorframes of their houses. On that same night I will strike down the firstborn of the Egyptians� but when I see the blood I will PASS OVER you.� Deut 16:1: �Observe the month of ABIB and celebrate the PASS OVER of the Lord your God, because in the month of ABIB He brought you out of Egypt by night.� Lev 23:6: �On the 15th day of that month the Lord's 7-day Feast of Unleavened Bread begins.�
Luke 22:7,8: Then came the day on which the Passover Lamb �Had� to be sacrificed. Jesus said, �Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.� Christ became our Passover Lamb on Passover Day! 1 Cor 5:7: �For Christ our PASSOVER LAMB has been sacrificed.� Whereas the Jews {who were following the evil Babylonian moon calendar} held their Passover on the 15th of Nisan {Which always occurs on the night of a full moon} and observed the Passover on the WRONG DAY as per John 18:28: �Then the Jews led Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman Governor {Pilate}. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness the Jews did not enter the palace; for they wanted to be able to eat the PASSOVER!!� Which would have been the day �AFTER� Jesus correctly held the Passover on the 14th of ABIB which God had commanded.
So we can assume that the month of ABIB is different from the Babylonian moon month of Nisan and therefore has nothing to do with the moon. When does the first month of the Bible Year called ABIB begin??
Many Bible scholars believe that it may begin of the first day of SPRING or sundown March 20th to sundown March 21st. ABIB is the Hebrew word for SPRING. And so the 14th Day of ABIB can also be translated the 14th day of SPRING!!
And so Jesus became our Passover Lamb on Passover day which is always the 14th day of the month of Abib and is always from sundown, April 2nd to sundown, April 3rd And the Resurrection Day of Jesus is always on the 16th of Abib which is always from sundown, April 4th to sundown April 5th each and every year. And **ASCENSION DAY** is always 40 days after Resurrection Day which is from sundown May 14th to sundown May 15th each and every year. And so **ASCENSION DAY** is 56 days Or **7 X 7 + 7 DAYS** of the Bible Year. And so midnight May 14th, 1948 is 56th or **7 X 7 + 7 DAYS** of the Bible Year and the **70TH** Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel at midnight, May 14th, 2018 is also **7 X 7 + 7 DAYS** after the first day of the Bible year.
1260 days after the **70**TH Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel on **MAY 14TH, 2018** would be on **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021** and the **LAST DAY** would be **OCTOBER 24TH 2021 to **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021. **OCTOBER 24TH**, is exactly 217 days after the first day of the Bible year on March 21st. And so **OCTOBER 24TH, 2021** is exactly **7** 30-day Bible months plus **7** days after the first day of the Bible year when the **7**th angel may sound the **7**th and last trumpet at the second Coming of Jesus who will open the **7** SEALS of the End-Times and who will bring the **7th** DAY REST for the people of God. {Read Revelation 5:9 and Hebrews 4:9} **Jesus has {*7*} horns and {*7*} eyes which are the {*7*} spirits of God sent out into all the earth.{See Rev 5:6} and {*7*} mighty angels who stand before the throne of God.

Am enclosing very interesting Bible studies on the inspired and amazing time periods in Bible Prophecy such as: **INTERESTING **70 YEAR** TIME PERIODS IN BIBLE PROPHECY**!!
**INTERESTING **70 YEAR** TIME PERIODS IN BIBLE PROPHECY**
It is interesting to note that the Kings of Israel ruled 490 Years or **70 YEARS** times **7** years, which was immediately followed by a **70 YEAR** exile of the Jews, which was then immediately followed by the amazing **70 YEAR** times **7** year Prophecy in Daniel 9:24-27; which will end with the 2nd coming of Jesus and **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS** on the Last Day Of the **70TH 7**!!
Also in the prophecy of the **70 YEARS** times **7** years it states in Daniel 7:26 "The people of the {Roman} ruler who will come will destroy the city {Jerusalem} and the Sanctuary." This prophecy was fulfilled and the Jews exiled again in AD **70** until the rebirth of Israel at midnight, May 14th, 1948!! The **70 YEAR** Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel will take place at midnight on **MAY 14TH, 2018**??
Daniel 9:24-27: Seventy "sevens" {**70 YEARS** times 7 or 490 years} are decreed for your people and your holy city to **ANOINT THE MOST HOLY** {After 483 Years}, to **ATONE FOR WICKEDNESS** {After 486 1/2 years} and to bring in **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS** {On the Last Day of the Last 1260-day Tribulation or 490 total years}...From the issuing of the decree {By King Cyrus--See Isaiah 44:28} until the Anointed One comes {On October 5th AD 29}, there will be 62 7's and 7 7's {Or 69 7's or 483 years}... Then {3 1/2 years or 1278 days later} the Anointed One will be cut off...He will confirm a Covenant with many for one 7 {Or the Last 7 years}. In the middle of the 'seven' {After 3 1/2 years} He {The Anointed One} will put an **END TO SACRIFICES** and offering.{On April 3-5 AD 33} {And then after a long pause} He will set up an abomination that causes desolation {666} for 42 months, until the decreed end is poured out on him at the 2nd Coming of Jesus {As per Rev 19:19,20 and 2 Thess 2:8} Which will bring in **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS** on the Last Day of the **70 YEARS** times **7** Prophecy!
Luke 3:21,22: When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on Him {ANOINTING} in bodily form like a dove. And a Voice came from heaven, "You are My Son, whom I love, with You I am well pleased!"
Matthew 18::21,22: Peter asked Jesus, "How many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not **7** times, but **70** times **7 times**!" {See NIV footnote}
The letters in C-H-R-I-S-T adds up to **77** or **70 + 7** C=3 H=8 R=18 I=9 S=19 T=20 and 3+8+16+9+19+20 = **77** ot **70 + 7**!!
According to the genealogy of CHRIST {**70 + 7**} in Luke 3: 23-37 CHRIST {**70+ 7**} is the 76th Son of Adam and the **77TH** or **70 + 7TH** Son of God.
Jesus is called the Son of David 17 times and David lived exactly **70 YEARS** as per 2 Samuel 5:4.
Isaiah 23:15: **70 YEARS**, the span of a king's life.
Psalm 90:10: Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout **ALL GENERATIONS**...The length of our days is **70 YEARS**--or **EIGHTY**, if we have the strength!
**THE GENERATION OF THE NEW BIRTH OF ISRAEL BEGAN ON MAY 14TH, 1948 AND THE **70TH** GENERATION ANNIVERSARY WILL BE ON MAY 14TH, 2018!!
The prophecies concerning the Jews before the 1260- Day Great Tribulation are the **LEAVES** of the **FIG TREE** which is Israel, But the **FIG TREE** will not bear **FRUIT** until one third of the Jews are saved See {Zechariah 13:8,9 & Romans 11:25,26} during the Great are saved during the Great Tribulation which may begin on the **70TH** ANNIVERSARY of the rebirth of Israel!
Jeremiah 29:10-13: This is what the Lord says, "When **70 YEARS** are completed I will come to you and fulfill My precious promise. For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord; plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray too Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me, and find me when you seek Me with all your hear. I will be found by you," declares the Lord!"
Acts 1:6,7: The disciples asked Jesus, "Lord, are you at this time going to **RESTORE THE KINGDOM TO ISRAEL**?" Jesus said , "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by His own authority."
Luke 21:5,6,23,24: Some of His disciples were remarking about how the Temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, "As for what you see here, the time will come {In AD **70**} when not one stone will be left on another, every one of them will be thrown down!... There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations {In AD **70**}. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are **FULFILLED**!"
This prophecy was **FULFILLED** and The **KINGDOM WAS RESTORED TO ISRAEL** at midnight on May 14th, AD 1948. It is interesting to note that **70 YEARS** after midnight, May 14th, 1948 will be at midnight,** MAY 14TH, 2018**!!???
**ANOTHER INTERESTING PROPHECY** is the Jewish re-occupation of all of **JERUSALEM** which occurred at 10 AM, June 7, 1967 during the miraculous Six Day War. Midnight,**MAY 14TH, 2018** is **49{**7X7**} YEARS** plus **707 DAYS** after 10 AM June 7th, 1967!!
**INTERESTING SPECULATIVE QUESTION??
Will something interesting happen related to the **70 YEARS** times **7** Prophecy; take place exactly **70 YEARS** after the rebirth of Israel at midnight on **MAY 14TH, 2018**?? Such as the beginning of the Last half of the **70 YEARS** times **7**.{The 1260-day Great Tribulation} or the coming of God's two Israeli witnesses {Moses and Elijah} for their 1260-day testimony; or the signs that will take place shortly before the Great Tribulation??? This, of course, is just a very interesting **SPECULATION**!
Immediately after the Resurrection Day of the saints mentioned in I Thessalonians 4:16,17 we read in I Thessalonians 5:4,5: But **YOU, BROTHERS**, are not in darkness so that **THIS DAY** should surprise you like a thief. You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness!!
Revelation 3:3: Jesus says, "Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But ***IF*** you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you!!"
When the 1260-day Great Tribulation begins or the 1260-day testimony of Moses and Elijah begins 1263 1/2 days before the Last Day; the saints will then know the exact Last Day when Jesus will come with **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS** which will begin on the Last Day of the **70 YEARS** times 7 !!
Question? Why did Jesus reduce the Great Tribulation or last half of the Last 7 years in Daniel 9:27 from 3 1/2 years or 1278 days to 1260-days or 42 30-day months? Matthew 24:21-22: Jesus says, "For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now {See Daniel 12:1,2}--and never to be equaled again. If those {1278} days had not been **CUT SHORT**, no one would survive, bur for the sake of the elect those {1278 } days will be **SHORTENED**" {to 1260 days} And so the 1278-day Great Tribulation and reign of **666** will be shortened by 18 or **6+6+6** days.
By comparing Revelation 12:6 with Revelation 12:14 we know that 1260 days and time {360 days} times {720 days} and 1/2 a time {180 days} is the exact same period of time. And by comparing Revelation 13:5 with Daniel 7:25 we know that 42 30-day months and time {12 months} times {24 months} and 1/2 a time {6 months} is the exact same period of time! And therefore 1260 days and 42 30-day months is the exact same period of time!
**COULD DONALD TRUMP BE PRESIDENT WHEN THE GREAT TRIBULATION BEGINS**??
As you know **70 7's** and **666** are very prominent numbers in Bible prophecy.
Someone just pointed out to me that Donald Trump was born on June 14th, 1946 at 10:54 AM which I checked out. Donald Trump will became the most powerful world leader when he was inaugurated at Noon on January 20th, 2017. And so Donald Trump was exactly **70 YEARS** plus **7 MONTHS** plus **6** days plus **66** minutes old when he becomes the most powerful leader in the world!
Donald Trump became the most powerful leader in the world at noon, on January 20th, 2017; and the **70TH YEAR** anniversary of the rebirth of Israel will be at midnight, **MAY 14TH, 2018**. Noon, January 20th, 2017 until Noon, May 14th, 2018 is exactly 479 days and noon, May 14th, 2018 until midnight, **MAY 14TH, 2018** would take place on the **480th** day. **66** weeks or 66X7 equals 462 days; which leaves another 18 or **6+6+6** days!!! And so Donald Trump became the most powerful leader in the world exactly **66** weeks plus **6+6+6** days before the speculative coming off **666** who will then become the most powerful leader in the world.
On December 23rd, 2016 Barak Hussein Obama abandoned America's commitment to Israel's security and the end of their democracy against Muslim aggression. In an act of cowardly venom Obama had the United States abstain from a United Nations resolution--and thereby effectively enact a United Nations resolution that completely condemns Israel and their settlements. A resolution that undertakes to render Israel indefensible. This very ridiculous unfair resolution greatly increases the tension and chaos in the Middle East and gives the Muslim countries an excuse to increase their hostility toward Israel.
On December 23, 2016, the **UNITED NATIONS** of the world severely condemned Israel! December 23rd, 2016 is exactly 507 days before the **70TH YEAR** Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel on **MAY 14TH, 2018**. 72 weeks or 72X7 would take up 504 days leaving 3 days or 72 hours. And so the time period from December 23rd, 2016 to **MAY 14TH, 2018** and the possible coming of **666** would be exactly **66+6** weeks plus **66+6** hours.
As we have shown Pope Francis completely qualifies to be the future deceptive False Prophet of 666 from the evil city on 7 hills!!
If for example the 1260-day Great Tribulation begins on the **70TH YEAR** anniversary of the rebirth of Israel on **MAY 14TH, 2018**; it would then end 1260 days later at the 2nd Coming of Jesus on **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021**.
Pope Francis was born at 9 PM on December 17th, 1936 in Buenos Aries Argentina which is 5 hours less than Jerusalem Bible time which would be 2 AM, December 18th, 1936. What is the interesting time period between 2 AM , December 18th, 1936 to 2 AM, **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021**??
The time period from December 18th, 1936 to December 18th, 2020 is exactly 84 years or **77 + 7** years or **70* + *7* + *7** years. And the time period between December 18th 2020 and **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021** is exactly *315* days. **7** 30-day Bible months would be *210* days leaving *105* days. 14 weeks or **7 + 7** weeks would take *98* days leaving **7** days!
And so the total time period from the birth of Pope Francis at 2 AM, December 18th,1936, Jerusalem time; to 2 AM, October 25th, 2021 would be **70* + *7* + *7** years plus **7** months Plus **7 + 7** weeks plus **7** days before the Last Day on **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021 at the possible 2nd Coming of Jesus, who holds the **7** spirits of God and the **7** angels {Read Rev 1:20 & 3:1 & 5:6b}, when the **7** angel will sound the **7**th and last trumpet!!{Read Rev 11:15-18 & I Cor 15:51,52}
As we have shown the time period from Solomon starting the Temple to the Anointing of Jesus would have been 405 years + 158 days + **70** years + 483 years for a total of 958 years and 158 days. And the time period from the birth of Adam to Solomon starting the Temple would have been 2930 years + 32 days plus 958 years + 158 days for a grand total of **3,888 years plus 190 days**
Let us suppose that the 1260-day Great Tribulation will begin on the **70-YEAR** Anniversary of Israel on **MAY 14TH, 2018** and end 1260 days later at the 2nd Coming of Jesus on **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021**.
The time period from the Anointing of Jesus or the 1st Coming of Jesus on October 5th, AD 29 to the speculative 2nd Coming of Jesus on **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021** would be exactly 1992 years plus 20 days. And so the time period from the birth of Adam to the 2nd Coming of Jesus would be 1,992 years + 20 days plus 3,888 years + 190 days for a grand total of **5,880 years plus 210 days**. *7* times 840 years is 5,880 years and so **7** times **770 + 70** years is also 5,880 years. And 210 days is also **70 + *70* + 70** days.
And so the time period from the birth of Adam to the possible 2nd Coming of Jesus would be exactly **7** times **770 + 70** years plus **70 + *70* + 70** days!!
The idea that something may happen related to the End-Times on the **70** YEAR ANNIVERSARY** of the birth of Israel on **MAY 14TH, 2018** is, of course, just an interesting **SPECULATION**!
Numbers 28:16: �On the 14th day of the 1st month the Lord�s Passover is to be held.� Exodus 12:6,7,12,13: �Take care of them {The Passover Lambs} until the 14th day of the month when all the people of Israel must slaughter them {See Lev 23:5} at Twilight {Just after sundown to nightfall}. Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the doorframes of their houses. On that same night I will strike down the firstborn of the Egyptians� but when I see the blood I will PASS OVER you.� Deut 16:1: �Observe the month of ABIB and celebrate the PASS OVER of the Lord your God, because in the month of ABIB He brought you out of Egypt by night.� Lev 23:6: �On the 15th day of that month the Lord's 7-day Feast of Unleavened Bread begins.�
Luke 22:7,8: Then came the day on which the Passover Lamb �Had� to be sacrificed. Jesus said, �Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.� Christ became our Passover Lamb on Passover Day! 1 Cor 5:7: �For Christ our PASSOVER LAMB has been sacrificed.� Whereas the Jews {who were following the evil Babylonian moon calendar} held their Passover on the 15th of Nisan {Which always occurs on the night of a full moon} and observed the Passover on the WRONG DAY as per John 18:28: �Then the Jews led Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman Governor {Pilate}. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness the Jews did not enter the palace; for they wanted to be able to eat the PASSOVER!!� Which would have been the day �AFTER� Jesus correctly held the Passover on the 14th of ABIB which God had commanded.
So we can assume that the month of ABIB is different from the Babylonian moon month of Nisan and therefore has nothing to do with the moon. When does the first month of the Bible Year called ABIB begin??
Many Bible scholars believe that it may begin of the first day of SPRING or sundown March 20th to sundown March 21st. ABIB is the Hebrew word for SPRING. And so the 14th Day of ABIB can also be translated the 14th day of SPRING!!
And so Jesus became our Passover Lamb on Passover day which is always the 14th day of the month of Abib and is always from sundown, April 2nd to sundown, April 3rd And the Resurrection Day of Jesus is always on the 16th of Abib which is always from sundown, April 4th to sundown April 5th each and every year. And **ASCENSION DAY** is always 40 days after Resurrection Day which is from sundown May 14th to sundown May 15th each and every year. And so **ASCENSION DAY** is 56 days Or **7 X 7 + 7 DAYS** of the Bible Year. And so midnight May 14th, 1948 is 56 or **7 X 7 + 7 DAYS** of the Bible Year and the **70TH** Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel at midnight, May 14th, 2018 is also **ASCENSION DAY** which is **7 X 7 + 7 DAYS** after the first day of the Bible year.
1260 days after the **70**TH Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel on **MAY 14TH, 2018** would be on **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021** and the **LAST DAY** would be **OCTOBER 24TH 2021 to **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021. **OCTOBER 24TH**, is exactly 217 days after the first day of the Bible year on March 21st. And so **OCTOBER 24TH, 2021** is exactly **7** 30-day Bible months plus **7** days after the first day of the Bible year when the **7**th angel may sound the **7**th and last trumpet at the second Coming of Jesus who will open the **7** SEALS of the End-Times and who will bring the **7th** DAY REST for the people of God. {Read Revelation 5:9 and Hebrews 4:9} **Jesus has {*7*} horns and {*7*} eyes which are the {*7*} spirits of God sent out into all the earth.{See Rev 5:6} and {*7*} mighty angels who stand before the throne of God.
