to the dear saints waiting for the soon Return of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,

greetings from germany yr bro fr

with the today’s watchword (June 5, 2004): Psalm 50, 2+3

”…..Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence......“
 

added by a word from John 1,15+16

”…John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace….”

Amen! Yes: from His fullness I and we all have received grace upon grace!

As there will be for one week no letters at fivedoves and we will have (our Lord willing) next week this June 8, I like to share by His Grace a detail with you, and the Lord being my helper, because it is always a little difficult for me to write in English.

I am pondering this a few days… but when I last night found the amazing article at www.spaceweather.com that: “...The International Space Station (ISS) will cross the Sun four times during the 6+ hour transit of Venus on June 8th....” then i was thinking to take time to do it today.....

About 20 years ago we had in our community a precious preacher (Brother Willy Schirrmacher). Every month he gave a beautiful bible-lesson. Most he started in Old Testament and then he came to New Testament and preached about the Cross and that we Christians would have to suffer and preached about Apostle Paul and the all sufficient Grace and also the soon return of our Saviour.

In the meantime the brother passed away.....

One bible lesson was very great.... when he showed us that the today’s conflict between Arabs and Jews goes back to Abram/Abraham: Ismael (Islam) and Isaak (the Promised)... He had an understanding of the symbols of the tabernacle and the Hebrew words which are “numbers” (Abram=243.... plus 5 = grace .....Abraham=248....) and so on....

He showed how very sad it was when the Moslems did build the “Dome of the Rock” just at the Very Holy Places on Mount Zion in Jerusalem...

King David many many centuries ago bought this place and paid money...... The Temple was built there.... later destroyed ....  cruel times....   the Islam came...   and until today there are in that “beautiful” Dome written the words from Koran where it says: “God (Allah) has no son....!”

And then the crusades ... again bad times.... Wars and wars....  Jews destroyed all over the world.... (“...next year in Jerusalem?”)...

Brother Schirrmacher preached that “Allah” is never never the same God that we know as the Father of our Lord Yeshua ...  After that lesson i did read in books about Islam history and the Dome of Rock (isn’t this something like the “….. the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel …” Jesus referring to ).

In one book was mentioned that when Mohammed died in 632 A.D. his disciples first could not believe that he was dying…. they were thinking he would rise and then ascend to heaven… but it did not happen… it is a historic fact that he was buried.   And after his dead …soon a time began with wars and wars all over the Middle East…. (until today!).

In that history book it said: Mohammed died June 8, 632.    June 8 !  (by the way, now I found that June 8, 632 was a Tuesday!)

When I then read …June 8, 632…. all at once there it was: June 8, 632 dead of Mohammed until June 7, 1967 ……

what happened June 7, 1967: “…Jordan ignored Israeli pleas to stay out of the Six-Day War and attacked the western part of the city. The Jordanians were routed by Israeli forces and driven out of east Jerusalem, ….”  In the evening of that historic Wednesday June 7, 1967 the Jews for the first time since many centuries stood in East-Jerusalem, again they could pray at the Western-Wall…. Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren sounded the shofar announcing “the begin of the messianic time”…. Jerusalem reunited…!

“next year in Jerusalem!” was fulfilled.
 

June 8, 632 until June 7, 1967 exactly 1335 years….!

A pattern and a pre-fulfilling of Daniel 12,12 …. “… Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days….”

Then I went to our preacher and told him what I found…. well, he took me in his arms and said: son, be in His Peace…. it may be so or not….. just be in the Lord and His Peace…. trust in Him….He knows all the details and times and surely He will come soon…”

Later I visited another brother (Brother Pasedag) who wrote some books about Israel and also about the soon coming of our Lord… He was expecting His return for the 1987 and so on…(later he also passed away, shortly before his dead he wrote that he was wrong about the timing, however it would be still soon….)

I told Brother Pasedag what I found in reference to the 1335 years…. and then he showed me a book where he had written the same…!!!. And he emphatically showed me that when we start calculating from June 8, 632 until June 1967 then the June 7th is exactly the very last day of that 1335 year period….! Blessed is he that waiteth….Praise the Lord!

Now we come again to a June 8,…. and (if the Lord willing) signs (plural) will be seen in the sun…..

37 years ago there was that “six day war”  when Jerusalem was reunited… However the Moslems are still there and still confused by their powerful delusion religion…. Christians are suffering in Moslem countries… wars and attacks…

Only our Heavenly Father can brake the Moslem power and make the people free…. that they may come to the Saviour Yeshua….

June 8, 2004, begins the 38th year….. Are we soon witnessing a powerful healing in the 38th year…. “And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years…” (John 5,5)
 
Our Lord knows all the timing and the time and he likes to prepare His people… He may grant us wisdom and “Grace upon Grace”…. that we may be able to wait…

To wait until we hear His voice…..

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
 

Kyrie eleison, Lord have mercy.
 

All Glory to our Father in Heaven through His Son Jesus Christ. Amen.

Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
