Every one of
the 5 Ages in the Bible has
a clear destruction
at the end of the Age.
POSSIBLY
IN 2007
The main reason for seeing 2007 as a junction
point for the ending of the Church Age is that every age ends with a
destruction (covered later) and is preceded by the number
40.
Jesus gave us the end of the Church age when
He said in Luke 21:24 that the time of the Gentiles is over when Jerusalem
is owned again by the Jewish people. That happened in 1967. So
we will see that we need to use the number 40 to
find the END of this AGE.
Here are some examples of the number 40
being used as the outside point of a transition.
Jesus fasted
how many days before being confronted by satan?
40 (Matthew 4:2)
How
many days did it rain in the story of Noah?
40. (Genesis 7:12)
How
many years did the Israelites wander in the desert?
40. (Numbers 14:34)
How
many days was Moses in the mountain with God?
40. (Exodus 24:18)
How
many days until Ninevah was to be overthrown? 40.
(Jonah 3:4)
How
many days did Jesus spend talking specifically about 'the kingdom
of God' after
His resurrection? 40.
(Acts
1:3)
Each occurrence of 40 comes
before a period of "transition!" Let's look at the transitions
from the examples above:
After fasting for 40
days Jesus defeats Satan's attempts to get his worship:
-- This shows who the ruler of the earth
is.
God has it rain for 40
days and Earth is made as new after the flood.
The Israelites wandered 40
years before getting a "new" land contract.
Moses was with God 40 days
before announcing a new age of Law.
Nineveh would have been trashed after 40
days if they hadn’t had a SPIRITUAL transformation.
Jesus was proclaiming a new Kingdom Age for
40 days after His resurrection.
All these are examples of transformation - from
one spiritual event to another! Why don't we take that same number
and apply it to when Jesus says that there will be a clear sign (Jerusalem
under Jewish control) that will be a sign of the end of the
Time of the Gentiles (Ed., Age of Grace)? We
are very close to that end as we get closer to 2007-2008. --

The "Anusim"

Dear friends:
The following fascinating information is from Christine Darg's message at
the Fountain, Old City Walls, Jerusalem, during her 2007 New Year prayer convocation.
I am highlighting the last especially interesting part about the anusim
in Ramallah and elsewhere.

_______________________________________
We are acutely aware that in this year 2007, Jerusalem will celebrate 40
years, a Biblical generation, of having been recaptured by the Israelis
in fulfillment of Jesus' own prophecy in Luke 21: 24. Signs
of His return cannot be denied.
Now with another Haman, the very Prince of Persia, daily
threatening Israel and the West, we come with faith to this greatest season
of prayer and this greatest day of Gospel golden opportunities. God
will use the Prince of Persia to push Israel to surrender to the King [of
kings]. God says in the Bible 366 times "fear not," one for
every day of the year plus a leap year.
In Genesis 15: 1, Yehovah exhorts Abraham, "Fear not.
I am thy shield (magen)." The magen, or
shield, was that piece of protective gear that the armour bearer carried into
battle in advance of the warrior. The LORD of hosts, Yehovah Sabaoth,
has already gone ahead of us and Israel into this New Year as our very Shield.
So many Jewish people are in despair because of the madman of Teheran, but
we have read Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39, and even though Persia is part of
the confederacy against Israel in these last days, God's immutable word informs
us that Israel will be saved and will shine as a result of Satan's attempts
yet again to destroy her. Hallelu-Yah to the King!
In this New Year, Islam will wax bolder but as you and I pray, we will continue
to see masses of Muslims spurning the doctrine of violence to embrace the
Prince of Peace. We still have unprecedented opportunities to preach
in Islamic lands but we must continue to work urgently, giving all of our
resources into the fray, while it is yet day "for the night cometh when
no man can work." (John 9: 4) Time is such a precious
gift as the countdown to Messiah's return draws near,
so we must use it more wisely. We must witness more frequently
to the souls on whom the Holy Spirit lays a burden.
Recently I have been evangelizing another Muslim family who are very open
to the Lord, and the patriarch told me, "There is a priest [in one of
the Orthodox Churches] whom I've seen daily for five years and he has never
once talked to me about religion." What an indictment against institutional
religion. How tragic that the priest has never enquired about the soul
of this man and his family. But Jesus said, "You must be born again"
-- never forget those words are the words of Jesus Himself.
[Shepherds & Flock / Bethlehem]
Before our latest outreach we researched Ramallah and discovered
that many of the Muslims in that region were once Jews who were forced into
conversion. It is the same in places like Bethlehem. On a number
of occasions, Bethlehemites have told me, "Who do you think those shepherds
were who were watching over their flocks by night? Jewish shepherds!
We Arabs in Bethlehem today, many of us, were descended from Jews who became
Christians or Muslims."
Therefore in 2007 I prophesy that there shall begin a great awakening amongst
many of the Arabs that they are "crypto-Jews." They will be
awakened by the Holy Ghost Himself as to their roots and true identity and
will "get with the program" rather than fighting against the God
of Israel.
But even though this is the prophetic intention of God, you and I must still
be involved in prayer to see that God's will comes to pass. In Hebrew,
those Jews who were forced to convert to other religions such as Catholicism
and Islam are called the anusim, or the "forced ones."
Anusim is a rabbinic legal term applied to a Jew who has been forced
to abandon Judaism against his or her will. One Jerusalem Post article
estimated a couple of years ago that there are 60 million anusim
in the world today. And many are in Islamic lands, such as Pakistan.
When they awaken, they will be a tremendous force for God.
We must breathe on these slain in prayer. This is timely and linked
with the "Mother in Israel" anointing. In Hebrew, the words womb and
compassion = rehem, are the same root word.
These anusim are children of Abraham, and we must
pursue them in prayer and recover all.
In central Iran, there is a village called Sebe,
where the local Muslims practice many Jewish customs, such as women lighting
candles on Friday night. Prior to sundown on Friday, they prepare a
small fire which they leave on throughout Saturday, so as not to ignite the
fire on Sabbath. It is believed Sebe is one of several Persian Jewish
communities who underwent forced mass conversion to Islam. [bold
