Part three Section 5 When the gospel is preached to all the world the end will come
Matthew 24:1414 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
I will be looking at the preaching of the gospel in the time leading up to and including the period of the last week of years aka Daniel's 70th week.
⦁ This last week of years is a seven year period it will be a false time of peace which will be broken midway through and the final part of this period will be the Great Tribulation.
⦁I will break it down into two parts. People will be witnessing during this time frame the gospel of the Kingdom.
This gospel of the Kingdom is the gospel of salvation. For unless you are saved you cannot enter into the Kingdom of God (heaven) either now or after you die. Or when Jesus returns to the earth bringing the Kingdom of God / heaven with Him from heaven to earth to be established in Jerusalem as the seat of His power and authority on earth.
⦁So those people who God has anointed and called to be His witnesses at this time will be calling the nations or people within the nations to repent warning them of the Day of the Lord's vengeance / judgment is coming upon the earth.
That they need to come out of darkness to turn from their sins and to turn to Christ accepting what He did on the cross for atonement for their sins. That they need to come to Christ while they still can before it is too late for by time Jesus physically comes to the earth it will be too late for many in the nations.
⦁The remnant of the nation of Israel will be saved by calling upon the Lord Jesus (Yeshua His Hebrew name which means salvation) to come and save them when the nations come up against Jerusalem more on this in another part.
⦁ The false seven year peace covenant that will be made with Israel and the nations through the mediator which will be the false messiah will be of two parts.
a Three and half years of false peace. Covenant will be broken midway through and then there will be;
b Three and half years of the Great Tribulation.
⦁The different groups who I believe will be preaching this gospel I will put under four different categories.
1 Pre Daniel's 70th week Watchmen and watch women.
⦁I see myself and other watchmen and women who are currently writing blogs and speaking up and warning against the growing apostasy in their churches as coming under this category.
⦁That we are warning of danger to come and warning about God's righteous judgments coming upon those who follow false prophets, apostles, teachers and leaders of all descriptions.
⦁That as watchmen and women we are fighting the good fight contending for the faith and we must never lose sight of this truth. Nor must we give up what we are doing or be pressured to do so by our friends, neighbors, families, work colleagues or people within the lukewarm churches. We must be about our Father's business in doing what we are doing as watchmen and women.
⦁Nor must we let the devil also pressure us into giving up what we are doing for he will try and bully us into silence. Through spiritual attacks on the mind by making us believe that what we are doing is not good enough or it will never be heard or received by others. We must ignore his taunts and lies and press on regardless in the Lord's strength and power.
Ephesians 6:10-18
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
1 Timothy 6:11-12
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
Jude 1:3
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.⦁Telling people that they need to repent and be like Bereans to check what they are being taught in their NAR influenced churches, against the word of God to see if what they are being taught holds up to the scriptures or not.
⦁At times it can get quite lonely standing on the wall shouting out a warning to those around us of danger.
It can be disheartening too when no one wants to pay attention to the warnings but want to turn deaf ears and to run after those teachers who speak pleasant words to tickle itching ears and send their hearers to sleep.
2 Timothy 4:1-5
I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
⦁ It can feel like at times that one is shouting out a warning that is similar to one standing on a hill shouting against the wind or standing alone in the wilderness crying out be awake, be alert for you don't know what hour your Lord cometh.
⦁ Wake up be about His business of preaching the gospel of salvation and His coming kingdom, make straight His paths, prepare the way of the Lord for He is coming draws nearer by the day. When you see all of these signs pertaining to His coming know for sure it is at the doors.
Isaiah 40:3-8
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
5 And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
Matthew 24:30-35, 42
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.⦁To shout out danger, warning, warning, the signs of His coming are all around us beware of the rise of the false prophet and the Antichrist but it seems as though your voice is like a lone voice in the wilderness that no one is listening to.
Jeremiah 6:17
Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.
⦁It may seem like your voice is lost among all the other voices that are touting their wares of honeyed poison that is oh so much more appealing to their dulled senses than the plain fare of the word of God which is far more nutritious than the slop they are getting elsewhere.
⦁That we must feed off this good fare of the scriptures which is bread for the soul and help feed others with them too.
Deuteronomy 8:3
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.
Isaiah 55:1-3
Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread?and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
John 6:26-58 Jesus is the bread from heaven
Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
48 I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
1 Peter 2:1-3
Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
⦁No matter how discouraging it is we must press on towards the goal that lies before us, ignoring what lies behind looking to our blessed hope the second coming of Christ.
Philippians 3:7-14
But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the
excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness,which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
⦁To be like good Bereans ourselves checking everything against the scriptures, guarding our hearts, keepign short accounts with God learning to be Holy as He is Holy and to be obedient to the calling of being watchmen and women.
Acts 17:11
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
⦁To never leave our posts but keep faithfully calling out warnings to those hurrying past us on the broad way to destruction calling to them to repent and turn aside to the narrow way of life. To take up the cross and follow the One who paid a heavy price for our salvations by giving up His own life.
Ezekiel 3:16-21
And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his
righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live,because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
Ezekiel 33:1-29
Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
10 Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of I Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live?
11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
12 Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.
13 When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.
14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
15 If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
16 None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
17 Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
18 When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.
19 But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
20 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.
22 Now the hand of the Lord was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
23 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
24 Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of I srael speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.
25 Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land?
26 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land?
27 Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
28 For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.
29 Then shall they know that I am the Lord, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.
⦁ To be like those prophets that God sent to warn the Israelites and the House of Judah of His impeding judgments upon them, their land and city of Jerusalem.
⦁ That He sent prophets early and late in the hour risinng up early to relay His messages to those who just didn't want to hear and they ended up being killed through judgments of war, famine, pestilence or being taken away captive to Babylon itself to worship gods they never knew.
Jeremiah 25:1-14
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;
2 The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the Lord hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.
4 And the Lord hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.
5 They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the Lord hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever:
6 And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.
7 Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the Lord; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,
9 Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.
10 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.
11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.
13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.
14 For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.
⦁ The church likewise will be also given up to judgments, and people will be taken captive by the enemy to serve gods that they never knew as well. For judgment begins with the House of God first.
1 Peter 4:17
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
2 During the first three and half years of the seven year covenant of the nations with Jerusalem
a The two witnesses in Jerusalem
Revelation 11:1-14
And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
⦁ These two witnesses will be filled with the Holy Spirit and they will be proclaiming the Lord's judgments against the earth they will be witnessing for the Lord Jesus.
⦁ Actually it will be Jesus Himself witnessing through them via His Holy Spirit, Jesus will be speaking in judgment against the whole earth beginning with Jerusalem and ending with the nations like in Jeremiah 25. God has a controversy with the whole earth and Jesus will be speaking out what God has to say against the whole earth through these two witnesses.
⦁ They will be proclaiming the coming Day of the Lord's Vengeance His wrath against mankind while at the same time they will be calling Israel and the nations to repentance from their sins to turn to God to save them before it is too late.
⦁ They will not only be proclaiming all these things that God wants them to say as a testimony against the nations but they will emphasize their words by praying judgments upon the earth to show that God means business and He will carry out His just judgments.
- They will be able to do this because God has given to them His authority to pray and proclaim God's judgments upon the earth to shut up rain, to cause drought and to give blood for the inhabitants to drink for their crimes against God and His people. They had power to cause plagues to come upon the earth too.
- Even in their death there is judgment. For in the number of the days their bodies lay in the streets of Jerusalem with no one willing to bury them but were celebrating their deaths.
- So too will God bring His final severe judgments the vial judgments upon the earth for three and half years after their death and subsequent resurrection.
- Each day and a half equals a year and half.
- 3 and half days = 3 and half years of judgment.
- 1 day = a year.
- half a day = half a year.
- There is a precedence in the Old Testament of this and that is found in Numbers in the account of when the Israelites were sent to spy out the land of Canaan for forty days and on their return ten spies gave a bad report of what they saw because they feared the people in the land when God told them not to fear them.
- Well God punished the Israelites by having them wander for forty years in the wilderness forty days equals forty years. You can read the full account in Numbers 13 & 14. I will only give the relevant verses from Numbers 14:26-38 to make my point that there is a correspondence to the number of days being a number of years in both Numbers and Revelation 11 for judgment.
Numbers 14:26-38
And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
27 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
28 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.
30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
32 But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.
33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
35 I the Lord have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
36 And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,
37 Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the Lord.
38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
Revelation 1:10-11
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
- Their words will be like a sword going forth for the word of God is like a sword and Jesus too had a sharp two edged sword going from His mouth in John's vision and Revelation of Jesus Christ to the churches.
- Jesus is the word of God so of course His words will be like a sword exposing the thoughts of men and likewise His two prophets will be speaking forth the Lord's words and exposing their hearts before God.
Isaiah 11:1-5 this is a description of the Messiah who is Jesus.
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
2 And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;
3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
Revelation 1:12-16
And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
Revelation 2:12. 16 I am only putting in verses to do with the sword.
And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
Revelation 19:11-16
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name i s called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
⦁ In essence these two witnesses will be like a modern day Moses and Elijah in their ministry for they will be filled with the same Holy Spirit that moved these men of old. For the Spirit of Jesus is the Spirit of testimony. He is the faithful and true witness.
Revelation 3:14
And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
Revelation 19:10
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
The two witnesses will be speaking under the power of the Holy Spirit their words will be like the following;
A shofar
Isaiah 58:1
Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
A sword
Hosea 6:5
Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Fire and a hammer
Jeremiah 23:29
Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
Fire.
Revelation 11:5
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed
- A note on any man hurting the two prophets it may not just be harm through police or the military coming to arrest them. This is what I used to think that if any man tried to harm/ hurt them by arresting them. Though it is quiet possible that the police and military will be sent to arrest or try to arrest these two prophets as well. Or if they can't arrest them they will try and shoot them. This is physical harm through this means.
- Then the other day I began to think about this some more what if it meant through occult means ie through spiritual hurt that men attempt to hurt these two witnesses is what the scriptures may mean here as well.
- I believe the Lord was giving me this insight as well. So it could possibly be hurt coming upon the two witnesses through strong witches, wizards, warlocks coming against them.
- Or Jesuits versed in the dark arts, powerful masons, ultra orthodox Jews who know the cabala occult powers and even leaders of the NAR which is now part of the one world religion.
- Their false apostles and false prophets under the power of an unclean spirit will try and come up against these two witnesses using their dark arts of casting spells against them and calling up demonic powers to try and silence them to stop them from doing God's work of bringing judgement upon the earth.
- That their speaking forth God's words of judgements followed by actual deeds of judgments will anger all those on the earth including those whom God is speaking against through these witnesses and it could be those people groups I have named in the paragraphs above.
- They could be withstanding these two prophets just like the two men withstood Moses when he was used of God to bring judgment upon Egypt.
- 2 Timothy 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
- So if anyone tries to hurt these two prophets God will protect the two prophets by allowing fire to come forth from their mouths to destroy their enemies who want to hurt them spiritually through satanic powers or by physically trying to come against them to arrest them or to shoot them.
- No one will be able to hurt them while they are doing God's work for they have His protection to fulfill His work on the earth warning about the coming Day of God's Vengeance which is the Day of Christ.
- The only time they will be harmed and satan will be allowed to put them to death, is when they have completed their testimony after the three and half years of their speaking forth God's words is up.
b The 144,000 from the twelve tribes of Israel.
These 144,000 will be young men who are virgins from the literal twelve tribes of Israel.
⦁ God will need to use people who have not been corrupted by the false teaching that is so rampant in the apostate church. That by this time it will be nothing like the true body of Christ but will be given totally over to paganism and a worldly New Age version of Christ.
⦁ God is more and more turning back to the nation of Israel, He is calling both men and women out of spiritual darkness in that land to become believers in His Son who is the Jewish Messiah and their atoning covenant with God.
⦁ He is also calling young men to Himself young virgin men between the ages of 13-18 who are not yet ready to be married from all walks of life and different streams of the Jewish communities in Israel.
⦁ Perhaps a lot of these young men could be from the Orthodox or Ultra Orthodox communities because they do spend a lot of time reading the Torah and they often marry about the age of between 18-20 so God could be raising young men of this age group up for Himself to be His witnesses throughout the whole earth.
⦁ Another thing the ages that they could be between that being 13 -18 these ages being the ages the Lord will call these youths to do His end time work of being His witnesses. Thirteen is the chosen age because at that age all Jewish boys go through their coming of age ceremony called Bar Mitzvah and this is the age they are considered to be mature and ready to take their place in adult society. it is a very important time in a young person's life in their Jewish community.
⦁ Here is an article from Wikipedia about what a Bar Mitzvah is and what is involved in this important coming of age for these young boys in Jewish society.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_and_Bat_Mitzvah
⦁ Maybe Jesus too had something similar done for Him when He went up to Jerusalem to celebrate Passover.and He spent three days dialoguing with the ministers of the Law in the temple.
⦁ Jesus was 12 not 13 as that is the age of modern day young boys for their Bar Mitzvah's maybe it was the age of 12 for boys at the time of Jesus. when they came into the age of responsibility.
Luke 2:40-52
And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?
50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
⦁ Also being young between the ages of 13 -18 these young people are still young enough to be pliable, flexible in the hands of the Lord's Holy Spirit. They will be still child like and teachable not old and corrupted by sin for Lord to be able to work with them, to teach them and to lead them and they will be pure and innocent as they will be virgins too.
⦁ He will send them north, south, east and west to speak forth the pure unadulterated gospel that has not been corrupted by the Gentiles or through false teaching.
⦁ Just like the Lord sent out Jewish disciples and apostles to all corners of the earth after the Day of Pentecost and for the first three hundred years of the gospel going forth it was mainly through Jewish believers until the Gentiles became more predominant and they took over the taking out the gospel to the nations.
⦁ Now the times of the Gentiles is coming to an end and as the Lord began with His Jewish people to spread the gospel to the nations.
⦁ He will end it with His Jewish people taking the gospel of the Kingdom to all of the earth before Jesus comes back. Once this has been completed and the last Gentile calls upon the name of the Lord then the end will come.
⦁ It is only fitting that He will use His Jewish people in this way for Jesus did say that salvation comes through the Jews and Jesus is still a Jew from the tribe of Judah and He will rule over the House of Jacob from the throne of David who too was of the House of Judah in Jerusalem.
John 4:22
Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
Luke 1:30-33
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
⦁ So these young people could very well be iin the process of being called and set apart with a special seal of God upon them right at this very point in time.
⦁ Jesus Himself may appear to them somehow to direct them to go where He wishes them to go upon the face of the earth. I am sure once the false seven year covenant is made after the war that brings in Daniel's final week of years that these mighty young men of God will be sent out to all of the earth and at the same time the two witnesses will be appearing in Jerusalem.
⦁ I believe all the tribes could be in Israel now for God to call these young men from these tribes except for the tribe of Dan as it is not counted among them and Ephraim is just called the tribe of Joseph. Could the future Antichrist come from the tribe of Dan for that tribe to be left out. Jesus is also coming back as judge for the name Dan means to judge and Jacob prophesised that tribe of Dan will judge his people.
Genesis 30:1-6
And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
2 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
3 And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.
5 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
6 And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.
Genesis 49:16-18
16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
18 I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord.
⦁ Overall I am not sure why Dan is not named or Ephraim renamed Joseph but I guess this will be made clear to us when Jesus returns. I will not say more on this as it will lead to speculation.
⦁ I will include the full chapter showing that God will have these people sealed by His seal and the angels were not to harm the earth until they have been sealed. Which makes me wonder have they already been sealed as the earth has experienced a lot of fires in all nations or is this event yet to come.
⦁ There is a web site called One for Jesus that has testimonies of Jewish people coming to Christ. Maybe some of these young people could be among those coming to Christ and sharing their testimonies.
⦁ Or they could be just there saved but hidden and not yet being allowed to speak until the Lord sends them out to do the work He wants them to do during the first three and half years of the false peace.
⦁ If you are interested you can still watch the video clips of those Jewish people sharing their testimonies.
https://www.oneforisrael.org/category/video/israeli-testimonies/
⦁ Also could all those from the tribes, tongues and nations dressed in white in this chapter be the harvest from the witnessing of the 144,000 from the twelve tribes of Israel being the Great End Time Harvest in the Lord.
Revelation 7:1-17
And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the t ribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
c People who are preparing to hide those on the run during the Great Tribulation
I have included these verses from Genesis and Ezekiel for a purposes that being I believe that God will raise up specific people to be hiding places of safety for mainly Jewish people who will be on the run from the Antichrist when he comes to power in Israel.
They will run to find safety within the nations to get away from this evil person who will be wanting to destroy every Jew he can find within Israel.
In fact there are now six million Jews give or take now living in Israel today the same amount of Jews that were killed by Adolf Hitler during the Holocaust.
Nor do I believe that this is a coincidence either for they want to bring about a Third World War in which they want to wipe out the Jews that happened to be conveniently in one place namely the State of Israel. For this war is to be a war between Jews and Arabs a religious war. I believe the powers that be want to have all the Jews in one place so that they can wipe them out.
When they can't do this because God will allow the Jews to fight back and win in such a resounding way that these people will have to sue for peace through their mediator the false Christ or whatever his name may be. That he will make a covenant with Israel for seven years.
I won't say too much more about this I will leave this for the next part on the Great Tribulation and Israel.
What I want to focus on here is that during this time of three and half years of false peace I believe God may move upon some people within the nations that will become the sheep nations to start getting safe places /little Holy places or little sanctuaries ready to hide His Jewish people. They will be fleeing for their lives from the Antichrist when he makes his move on them.
God will raise up a network of people to move these people to safety from Israel, to have safe houses in transit while on the move to their final place of hiding for the duration of the Great Tribulation.
Some places could very well be in wildernesses of different nations that have untouched wildernesses that have not been too badly affected by nuclear fallout. He could hide them in caves or bunkers deep under the ground in different lands.
I have an idea what lands they could be but will not say to protect those lands for those reading this on my word blog.
God will speak to people about getting food, water, clothes, medicines, baby food and clothes, blankets and other supplies ready for this time before they become scarce and hard to locate. He could possibly multiply this stuff to make it stretch in miraculous ways or provide these vital things in some other way from heaven in a supernatural way.
God will be a shield of protection to these people. He will raise up people of integrity to do this very special but dangerous task of looking after His people.
He will be calling people even now and revealing His will to them by visions or dreams and through His word, So that during the time of the false peace He will be bringing people to them to help with this and even bringing supplies and moving them to places He wants them to be living in for this special task.
He will be affirming to these people what He wants them to be doing from His word and other ways. He will be raising up people to be involved with transport, medical supplies, bushcraft, in transit hosts and permanent hosts to hide His people throughout the time of the Great Tribulation.
They will be like Joseph in the account in Genesis preparing for the hard times and food shortages and clean water shortages ahead. That they will have supplies without having to look to man or the devil to provide for them for the mark will force people to turn to the devil to get help to feed themselves and their families. To live people will be forced to take it not realizing it will lead to spiritual death.
However God will look after His own during this time.
He will make sure that His people will be cared for through those from the Gentile nations who make up His true body of saints to help look after those who are of His blood kith and kin the Jewish people. A side note God will also be hiding people who are believers in Him from the nations as well.
Genesis 41:8-57
And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.
9 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
10 Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker:
11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
12 And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
20 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:
23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:
24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.
25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
27 And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
28 This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
32 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
35 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
36 And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;
43 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.
44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.
49 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.
50 And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.
52 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
53 And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
54 And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
55 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.
56 And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.
Ezekiel 11:18-16-23
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.
17 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
18 And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
21 But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord God.
22 Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
23 And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
3 During the time of the Great Tribulation
a 144,000 from the twelve tribes of Israel.
As I wrote above these young people would be going throughout the earth proclaiming the gospel with might and power in all nations. Maybe they might be doing the same works as the two witnesses in Jerusalem during the time of the false peace when they are preaching the gospel.
They will go where ever Jesus sends them however maybe during the time of the Great Tribulation they too will suffer martyredom and will be put in prison if not killed but maybe they might all be eventually caught and killed but they will be the Lord's special guard and servants in His kingdom for their reward in serving Him like this on the earth.
Revelation 14:1-5
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
b People who have prepared hiding places for both Israeli people and those who believe in Christ from Israel and the nations.
These people would have everything ready to go and will be in a network of those whom God has called to serve Him to help save the remnant of His people from the beast when he comes into power in Jerusalem.
God will have put these people into key positions and they will swing into action as soon as the first of the refugees from Israel come to their doors looking for help. He would have all of these people set up during the time of the false peace while they can do what they need to do with relative freedom to do so.
They will not be selling food like Joseph was to the Egyptians but they will have food stored up ready to be used to help both those of the Household of faith believers from Israel and the nations, and those who are from the nation of israel the non believing Jews to start with.
They will have tracts and bibles to give to these people who don't know Jesus yet and through their faith and kindness to the brethren of Jesus His blood brethren. It will provoke them into jealousy of these Gentiles who know their God and they don't.
I believe that when Jesus separates the nations into the two different groups the sheep and goat nations. That the sheep nations will be those nations who had people within them being both salt and light to His people.
These people will be the hidden people who have hidden His people during the time of the Great Tribulation to save their lives just like people helped hide the Jewish people during the Holocaust or helped them escape Germany before and during the war.
These people who will help look after the Lord's brethren both from the nations who believe in Him and those from the nation of Israel who believe in Him or will come to know Him at His return. These people will be from all walks of life, rich and poor, high up and low they will be used of God to bring His people back to Israel.
If they are non believers from the nations but who don't want to go along with the beast they could also be helping the Lord's people and will be bringing them back to Israel at His appearing.
For when Jesus comes back He will be catching up those believers who are alive to meet with Him in the air and that includes those who are looking after His Jewish people in these safe hiding places little sanctuaries unto the Lord.
The Jewish people may end up believing in Jesus too when they see the Christians both from the nations and the Jews from the House of Israel disappearing into thin air then appearing in their glorified bodies with Christ.
Those nations who are the sheep nations will come into the kingdom of God and the Lord will teach them His ways through those who are His people who will be kings and priests unto Him.
Of course this is all speculation and only God knows if what I am saying is right and He will affirm this and bring it to pass if not the way I have written it but something similar to it.
I will also put in Isaiah 11 and Isaiah 49 to show how God will use Jesus as a standard to bring His people home at His return and they will be brought back by the Gentile nations who will be the sheep nations.
Isaiah 11:6-16
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
14 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
15 And the Lord shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.
16 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
Isaiah 49:8-26
Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;
9 That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.
10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.
11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
12 Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.
13 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.
14 But Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.
16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.
17 Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.
18 Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the Lord, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on thee, as a bride doeth.
19 For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.
20 The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.
21 Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?
22 Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.
23 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.
24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
25 But thus saith the Lord, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.
26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
Matthew 25:31-46
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.4 An Angel preaching the gospel from mid heaven.
Even the 144,000 will not be able to get to all of the earth for whatever reason so the Lord to make sure that all tribes and tongues and nations must be covered to give all men an opportunity to hear the gospel and to repent.
God is not willing that any man should perish. He is giving all people on the earth an opportunity during the time of the seven years of the last week of Daniel to hear the gospel and to repent to turn from their wicked ways.
Once people reject this gospel given even by an angel it will be too late to repent for by the end of the Great Tribulation Jesus will be on the earth and judging the nations separating the sheep from the goat nations.
2 Peter 3:1-9
This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Revelation 14:6-7
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
There are three strange radio stations in the world that are called Ghost stations that are not being run by anyone but are still sending out a signal on the airwaves.
Could God use these three ghost radio stations to send a message out to all of those who are listening over the radio waves? Could this angel be speaking over the airwaves as well as flying in the heavens proclaiming the gospel. Just a thought.
