I have waited a week…
Oct. 25, 2004
    And I have been DISSAPOINTED, BUT  then again NOT SURPRISED to see if ANYONE from this web site (and I have checked others, so don’t feel bad) UNDERSTOOD what the prophetic significance was and IS to the “reformation” of the SANHEDRIN in the state of Israel!

    It was on Monday the 18th that Dianne Talsma reported on the reformation of the Sanhedrin.

My DISSAPOINTMENT comes from the fact that I could not find a single follow up posting or comment on this MOST IMPORTANT prophetic fulfillment of God’s Word!

However; I was NOT SUPPRISED that a single comment was made for over a week concerning this reformation of the Sanhedrin! WHY? Because it has nothing to do DIRECTLY with the “RAPTURE” of the “Church”! And it is this arrogant, self important escapism mentality and attitude that “blinds” the minds of the believers as to what God is fulfilling in our day and time! The most important thing that is and should be of our concern is that of the “2nd Coming of Christ” and the
 SALVATION of Israel! When a person can get over their self importance and arrogance in their POSITION in the Kingdom of God, then they can “see” what is happening and WHY! When a person is so focused on the “rapture” or even the “doctrine” that God will fulfill nothing until the “rapture” occurs, then there is virtually NOTHING to be looking for! And it takes Israel OUT OF ITS POSITION AS GOD’S TIME CLOCK, and replaces it with the “Church”!

I have heard it said many times, “the next thing or event on God’s Prophetic Timeline or Time Clock will be the “Rapture of the Church”! And THEN will God turn again to dealing with the nation of Israel”!

Can’t you see and realize that even with the REJECTION of Jesus as Israel’s Messiah, that the judgment- chastisement of His people in their being scattered throughout the world is proof that He is still dealing with them? Did God ever stop dealing with His chosen people the “Jews”? NO! For there has ALWAYS been a remnant saved right along with the Gentiles!

At the “birth of the Church” right after the “resurrection of Christ” was God dealing with the Nation of Israel (in UNBELIEF) and the “Church” AT THE SAME TIME? OF COURSE HE WAS! The Jewish PEOPLE as a Nation was being given an approximate “GENERATION” (of 40 years) to repent and turn to JESUS as their Messiah AND CALL UPON the NAME of the Lord! They didn’t, and so their destruction as a Nation was brought upon them in 70 ad.!

But now, back to the IMPORTANCE of the “reformation of the Sanhedrin”!
It was approximately one hour after reading Dianne’s posting of the news that the following scripture came to my mind (“For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord”.).  I was very excited and yet cautious as I had to find out whether or not this was said by Jesus BEFORE or AFTER His “Triumphal Entry” on Palm Sunday. It was confirmed that this was said by Jesus to the religious rulers of His day, AFTER the Multitude said the very same thing.

Matt. 21: 7  And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
8  And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strowed them in the way.
9  And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

You see, it was the People of Israel- Jerusalem that were ready to accept Jesus as their Messiah and KING!

John 12: 12  On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13  Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.

BUT, it was the religious Rulers of Israel who rejected Jesus as their Messiah and King! SEE and UNDERSTAND, that it is the responsibility of these Rulers of Israel to know the scriptures and to then with the Priesthood as part of this RULING BODY to ANOINT the Messiah as KING! This RELIGIOUS ruling body of Israel was called the Sanhedrin!

That is why the last thing mentioned by the angel Gabriel to Daniel was to “ANNOINT the MOST HOLY”!

Dan. 9: 24  Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

This is also why, when the 69 weeks were completed UNTO Messiah the PRINCE (note; it doesn’t say Messiah the KING! A “Prince”, albeit recognized as royalty is AWAITING HIS KINGSHIP) ONLY at this time was Jesus hailed by the people as the King of Israel. This was done on what is called “Palm Sunday”! Only 4 days before going to the Cross!

As some would like to twist scripture and say that the 70th week started at the time of Christ’s Ministry- 3 & ½ years prior to the Cross, the problem with that is, that the 69th week had NOT ENDED YET! Neither was Jesus ever hailed as nothing else but “the Lamb of God which takes away the sin of the WORLD”! There is NO MENTION by John the Baptist of the relationship of Jesus as “PRINCE” or “KING” to His royalty! This is why the scripture plainly says “AFTER” 69 weeks! The 69 weeks OF YEARS had to first come to its CONCLUSION with the recognition of the royalty of the “Messiah the PRINCE”!

As some would like to then believe that the middle of the 70th week of Daniel happened at the time of the Cross (to justify their view of a shortened “tribulation period” of 3 & ½ years), that would mean that since the 69th week ended at Christ Triumphal entry, that the 1st 3 & ½ years of Daniels 70th week lasted ONLY 4 DAYS! Now this makes a lot of sense!

However, back to the responsibility to whom it belongs, “to anoint the most Holy”! It was to the RELIGIOUS RULERS of Jesus time to do so! BUT it was this very body of the ELDERS of Israel who REJECTED Jesus as Christ-Messiah- King! This is why it is so very important that we need to understand that when Jesus was condemning this religious body and calling them “BLIND” (5 times), that he says to them;

Matt.23: 39  For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

NOTICE that Jesus is talking to the elders of Israel who REJECTED the hail of the people who ALREADY (2 days prior) said “Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.”

Therefore; what Jesus has said is purely PROPHETIC to the COMPLETION of the 70th week of Daniel. So that the RELIGIOUS Rulers- Elders of Israel, THE SANHEDRIN can say this and then “Anoint the most Holy” as the King of Israel and take the Throne of His Father David in Jerusalem!

So you can see that it is IMPERITIVE that the RELIGIOUS RULING BODY of the ELDERS of Israel- the SANHEDRIN is in existence BEFORE the 2nd Coming of Christ!

AND AS OF OCT. 18th, the SANHEDRIN in Israel HAS BEEN REFORMED!

The Lord is SOON Coming! And it is His 2nd Coming that we are to be watching for. Because even the “rapture” is dependant upon the 2nd Coming of Christ and not the other way around!

Is it therefore so amazing that all the “signs” and (I have to admit- seemingly) prophetic types that have been fulfilled and are in the process of fulfillment ALL POINT TO THE 2nd COMING of CHRIST JESUS and NOT TO THE “RAPTURE”?

I have to just laugh, as I watch all these things coming to pass RIGHT ON TIME! Truly, the Lord’s ways are not our ways! Things are being fulfilled to its exactness. BUT, NOT in the manner in which we thought that they should. I admit, that the following that I have taught on concerning the last days can still only be just a “coincidence”, but even now, with the REFORMING of the SANHEDRIN, the “prophetic odds are in the hundreds of trillions to 1. That is assuming that the odds of prophetic fulfillment concerning Christ’s 1st Coming as stated by Josh McDowell in his book, “Evidence that Demands a Verdict” are just as valid today in our time.

I know that I have not written or posted for quite some time. And there are a lot of new people to this forum who have no idea of what I have taught in the past. Here is just a small list.

The Birth of Israel (the “fig Tree”)
Israel’s Childhood
Israel’s Adulthood to RESPONSIBILITY
The “Generation”
The Years of Plenty and Famine of Joseph
The “Day of the Lord”
The 2 Days of Hosea
The “Time of Jacob’s Trouble”
The Psalms of Degrees
The Days of Noah
The 6 days (6000 years- to Jewish understanding) and the 7th day of the Creation week

And there is a lot more. And yes, there are some articles and posts that I would revise prior to summer of 2001 or 2002, but only in the understanding of the scriptures involved. Just as the video I had offered during the winter of 2001 was edited to remove just the last 10 to 12 minutes (concerning the “possibility of the rapture”), the rest of it is still intact prophetically, hehehe, so far!

Yes, I will be writing and posting again. There is so much more to say and here is just a small list of the topics.

The “day of the Lord’s Vengeance- Year of Recompense & the Redeemed

The 3 Judgment Seats of Christ to the Believers & the one for the Wicked

The Beama Seat of Christ (for the “church age saints”)

The 24 elders- who they are and WHY

The Vengeance of the Lord for His saints (old Test. & New)

However, if anyone wants the above mentioned material already completed (since it is no longer archived by John on the Doves, and John, I do appreciate how long you were able to keep it archived but I thoroughly understand- it was a long time ago now) just e-mail me at;
HUBDAD@aol.com

And for anyone in the continental USA- Alaska-or Hawaii, who would like to talk this over personally, just e-mail me to set up an appointment for me to call, as it costs me nothing to call to these areas.

 Be LOOKING for the COMING of the Son of Man (that is part of the clue) for our redemption draws nigh!
