"RE: Gino "WHEN YE SHALL SEE" Matthew 24:33"

Also your question: Mount Sion
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/may2018/gino527-4.htm
Answered at the bottom of this letter.

The phrase "when ye shall see" is mentioned (5) times in our KJV.
1. Matthew 24:33
So likewise ye, "when ye shall see" ALL these' things, "know" that "the end" is near" even "at" the door(s).
Stop right here.
So likewise what?

When I read; So likewise ye: I ask, likewise what?
I read in the prior verse # 32 because of (:) which relates verse 32 with verse 33.
Now I read these 2 verses together and I find this.
32) Now' learn the parable of "the fig tree;"
Stop right here.
 (Israel is always known  to us as the Fig Tree Nation in our Bible.) It is clear that we are being directed to the Nation of Israel in verse 32)  continuing...When his' branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh (:)
and the Lord is telling us "a" particular season of the year; when he said" ye know that summer is nigh:( also when Israel is reestablished IN the land, " his branch is yet tender))
33) So likewise' when ye' shall see "all" these things, know that "it" is near, even at the doors.
Now I ask; What is "it" that is near even at the doors in verse 33?

To answer this question I must go back to verse # 29 in order to understand the "time line". 29) Immediately "after" the tribulation "of those days".
What days and what will be happening?
Verse #28 of Matthew 24 we see...For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
When will the carcases be gathered together for the egales to feast upon the flesh of men?
ARMAGEDDON....when our Lord comes at "the end" of "the tribulation of those days;" in power and great glory with ten thousands of his saints. Which will include the 144000 Hebrew virgins, who were redeemed with us.
Let us now read verse 33 in Matthew 24) So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 29) Immediately "after" the tribulation "of those days" shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and "the stars shall fall from heaven, and "the power" "of the heavens" shall be shaken:
In Matthew 11:12 The Lord tells us what this "the power of the heaven(s) being shaken is.
>From the days of John the Baptist until "now"  the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it' by force.

( Will the Church see' "all" these things? No; she will not.) So we learn that it is the "fig tree nation" of which our Lord is directing us to understand in verse 33 of Matthew 24: that is the Precept for which we are to understand.

Where do we "first" read of the stars falling from heaven in the book of Revelation?
Revelation 6:12-14 we read:
John said; And I beheld when he (the Lamb) had (past tense) opened the (6th) seal, and, lo, there was a great earth quake ( a shaking) and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 13) And the stars of heaven "fell" unto the earth ( the falling away comes first 2 Thess. 2:3) even as a "fig tree," when she' is "shaken" of a "mighty wind." ( Israel, the fig tree nation represented here, the144000 Hebrew virgins being shaken of a mighty wind, "the Holy Ghost."  Acts 2:2)
These are the first fruits of the Lamb, who were (past tense) redeemed from the earth, recorded for us in Rev. 14:1-5)
These 144000 go with the Church in Revelation 6:12-14 when the heaven is rolled up as a scroll/book. Heaven is shut and will not open again until later in Revelation. The 144000 Hebrew virgins the first fruit of the Lamb.
Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 15:23 But "every man" in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; AFTERWARD they' that are his "at his coming."
Who are his at his coming?
We the Bride and the 144000 Hebrew virgins who John names for us according to the heads of the princes of the thousands before the 7th seal is broken in Revelation 8:1
These are named according to "the heads" of "the princes" of the thousands in Revelation 7. The seal' in their foreheads is "their eyes are opened" with the "mighty wind" which is the Holy Ghost in Rev. 6 verse 12-13.
( This is the rapture)

In Matthew 24: verse 34) we read: Verily I say unto you, "This generation" ( Stop Right Here) What generation?
The generation that is predetermined to be alive at "that time",  settled in heaven, before the world was.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning (time) God created the heaven (space) and the (earth) matter. Before the world was.
John 1:1 In the beginning was ( past tense, before the world was) the word, and the word was God, and the word was with God. ( before the world was)

Is that generation to be you and I?
I believe it is very possible. We are told to Watch. Mark 13:37 What I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
The Tribulation period is a "set" of 1260 days and 1260 days and 75 days at the end.
Stop right here.
When is the first set of 1260 to begin?
Revelation 11:3 And I will give power unto my 2 Witnesses, and they' shall prophesy a 1000, 200 and 3 score "days," clothed in sackcloth. Verse 4) THESE are the 2 candlesticks standing before the God "of the earth."
Stop right here.
Who will be the God of "the earth" at this time?
We find our answer in verse 7) And when they (the 2 Witnesses) shall have finished "their testimony" "the beast" that ascendeth out of "the bottomless pit" shall make war with them' and shall "overcome them", and "kill them."
These lay in the street 3 days and then the Lord God, says Come Up Hither in verse 12) and they ascend up to heaven in a cloud, and "their" enemies beheld them.
THIS...all happens BEFORE the 7th angel sounds his trumpet in verse 14 of chapter 11. And 2 WOES ARE PAST. The 3rd WOE is yet to come quickly.
WOE' is mentioned 106 times in our KJV. A good study in order to see, to whom the Lord says "woe."

Note: Our Lord does not come to us "as a thief in the night" as so many will say; but when you look a bit closer in the word, you find that we are looking for the day of Christ, and also the day of the Lord Jesus. The two advents.
The Day of The Lord, is not a good day!!
Amos 5:18) Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord (!) to what "end" is "it" for you? the day of the Lord is darkness and no light.

The Temple' mentioned in Revelation 11:1-2 is the Temple that is upon the earth, not the Temple of the Lord, which is us, which is already in heaven at this point.
We now have our understanding of Matthew 24:33 "when ye shall see." and who it will be that will see all these things and when.
We must understand....that the Church ( the house of God) is judged first, thus the purpose for the letters to the 7 churches. Only one has a good report.
He who hath an ear let him hear, what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
We have got to know which church we are a member.
The seals have already begun! for those who are watching and know just where we are in time.
The White Horse rider is not the antichrist!!
He is a judgment upon the churches. All that invite this abomination into their churches will not be in the rapture, but rather cast into outer darkness. Which is not Hell, but it is "a" hell none the less. It is complete separation from God in complete darkness, bound and immovable for eternity. Left only to remember as did the rich man in Hell.

Now let us deal with the other (4) mentions of "when ye shall see."
2. Mark 13:14 But "when ye' shall see" the abomination of desolation, spoken by Daniel the prophet, "standing" where "it" ought not, (let "him" that readeth understand,) then let "them" that be in Judaea "flee" into the mountains(:)
Stop right here!
Who will be in Judaea? The remnant of Israel, "not" the 144000 Hebrew virgins.
We are still in the Tribulation "of those days" which is the 1335th "days"
 What is being made desolate by this abomination?
It is the "image" of the beast.
Daniel 9:27 And "he" shall confirm the covenant with many for "one week:" and in the midst' of "the week" HE shall "cause" the sacrifice and oblation to cease, and "for" the overspreading of abomination(s) 'he" shall "make" it' desolate, even "until" the consummation, and that' determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
WOW!!
What is the consummation? The marriage of the Lamb.
And "that" determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Who are the desolate" The remnant of Israel; BUT according to Jeremiah 30:7 we read:
Alas! for "that day" is great, so that none is like "it:" it is even "the time of Jacob's trouble;" but he shall be saved out of it. Praise the Lord!
We have much to cover just in this verse. Our Lord sent us "here" for a reason. We who  are the "reader" and we are to "understand" this prophesy.
Very important for us and rightly so.
Because it is not the "overcomer" that will see the abomination that maketh desolate.
John 5:4 For whatsoever "is born of God" overcometh the world (:) and "this" is the victory that overcometh the world, "even our faith."
We are overcomers, and we do not see the wrath of God and we are not in the "tribulation of those days."

Many Preachers and teachers of this prophesy see it in many different ways and therefore teach it according to "their" understanding.
We are to "study" to show ourselves approved "unto God" a workman, that needeth not to be ashamed, nor are we to trust the words of men. Let God be true and "every man a liar. That includes me and anyone else.
I am writing my understanding as the Spirit has directed me by the scriptures, and as always, to reprove me or anyone else concerning the words written in our Bible. For no' prophesy of the scriptures is of any private interpretation. (2 Peter 1:20)
But we can follow the Spirit that gathered these words in our Bible and rightly "divide" the scriptures of which God's mouth commanded. (Isaiah 34:16 and Isaiah 55:11) and His Spirit, "it" hath gathered them.
Let us go back to Mark 13:14) We read: Then let them' that be in Judaea "flee" into the mountain(s)
Let us take a look at Revelation 12:6  and let us "note" that in Revelation 11:15 the 7th angel sounded his Trumpet, and in 11:14 the 2nd WOE is past and behold, the 3rd cometh quickly. As we noted in our study of Matthew 24:33)  We are in the same time period just after the 2 Witnesses are taken up in Revelation 11:12, and 1260 days, =ing 31/2 years have past.
 So we can know that these that are in Judaea are the remnant of the children of Israel, and not the 144000 Hebrew virgins.
We can know that NOW the 7th angel has sounded his trumpet, "after the 2 Witnesses are taken up.
There has been 1260 days =ing 31/2 years from Revelation 11:2-12 before the 7th angels sounds his trumpet in verse 15)
We have our time period for Mark 13:34
Who' is being addressed in this verse as to "when ye shall see"? The people of Israel, the remnant of her' seed. Not the 144000 which "were" redeemed according to Revelation 14:3-4.
Remember....In Genesis 1:14 Our Lord said of the "lights" in the firmament of the "heaven" to divide the day from the night; AND let them be for "signs", and for seasons, and for days, and "years:"
So when we read of this great wonder in heaven in Revelation 12:1-5) there are (2) wonders taking place in the heaven. These are "signs" as Genesis 1:14 quotes.
These "signs" appear "after" the 7th angel sounds "his" trumpet in Revelation 11:15.
In Revelation 12:10 we read of those of us who "are" in heaven and are saying; NOW "is" ( present tense) come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of "our" God, and the power "of his Christ:"
Why?
Because the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused (past tense) them before our God day and night.
We read also in Revelation 11:15 when' the 7th angels sounded; there were great "voices in heaven" saying, The kingdom(s) of "this world" are become the kingdoms of our' Lord, and of his Christ; and "he" shall ( future tense) reign for ever and ever.
We the Church and the 144000 Hebrew virgins are "in" heaven here.
So according to Mark 13:14 It is not the Church that will see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet. It is the remnant of Her, Israel's seed that will see this abomination, because there will be a temple here on earth at that time.
So also when we read in Revelation 11:1-2 This temple is the same said temple on earth, and the court is given unto "the Gentiles" and they' shall tread the "holy city" underfoot for 40 and 2 months: which equals the 1260 days of which the 2 Witnesses are present; and are taken up in verse 12.
Before the 7th angel sounds his trumpet in Revelation 11:15.

Let us now look at the 3rd mention of "when ye shall see."
3. Mark 13:29 So ye' "in like manner" when ye shall see "these things" come to pass, "know" that "it" is nigh, even at the door(s.)
Again the Lord is taking us back to "the parable of "the fig tree" and giving us a "time frame" of when the nation of Israel is reestablished as a nation and are "in" the promised land again after their dispersion throughout the world from 70 AD: we can know on "this side" of time, that Israel has been in the land for 70 years from 1948 to present day in 2018.
Now verse 30 of Mark 13) Verily I (the Lord Jesus Christ) say unto you, that "this generation" shall not pass, "till" all these things "be done."
I was born in October 1953; 5 years "after" Israel was back in the land.
I am "this generation" that shall not pass, till' ALL THESE THINGS BE DONE.
I am watching! I am praying that I be accounted worthy to "escape" all these things that shall come upon the earth, an to stand before the Son of man. ( Our Lord Jesus)

Let us go to the 4th mention of "when ye shall see"
 THIS is why I pray to be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come in "my generation."
4. Luke 13:28 There shall be "weeping and gnashing of teeth" when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, "in the kingdom of God, and you' yourselves  thrust' out.
Heavy warning for sure!!
Is the Lord speaking of the Church?
Let us read and see. In verse 24 of Luke 13) we read: Strive to enter "in" at the strait gate: for many',  I say unto you, "will" seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 25) When "once" the master of the house is "risen up", and hath (past tense) shut the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying , Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto "you", I know you' not whence ye are:
In verse 30 of Luke 13 we read: And behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
WOW...what a statement!
What does it mean?
Through the dispensation of time' there are us who are last, and there are the first who shall be last who received the gospel of Christ.
As was the parable of the talents, and what those did with what they received.
Our Lord Jesus, The Word, knew every "one" of us that are his,( before the world was) and he knew from the beginning, who would betray him, and who would not.
Thus we read the letters to the 7 churches to see who will be given an "open door." It doesn't look good for some of these churches, because there is only "one" set with an open door, and they' have but a little strength.
Matthew 7:14 Because "strait" is the "gate" and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life', and few' there be that find it.
There were only (8) souls that made it out' the first world.
And we know that there will be "few" that find the way' according to Luke 7:14.

Now we look at  the 5th and final mention of "when ye shall see"
5.  Luke 21:20 And when ye shall see "Jerusalem" compassed with armies, then know' that "the desolation" thereof is nigh.
Notice here it reads "Jerusalem" being compassed with armies, NOT the nation of Israel.
Let us now read Daniel 9:24) Seventy weeks are determined upon "thy people" and upon thy "holy city", "to finish the transgression", and "to make an end to sins", and to "make reconciliation for iniquity", and to "bring in everlasting righteousness" and to "seal up the vision and prophesy", and to "anoint the most Holy."
Lets count:
1. to finish transgression
2. to make an end to sins
3. to make reconciliation for iniquity
4. to bring in everlasting righteousness
5. to seal up the vision and prophesy
6. to anoint the most Holy.
This is all done according to this verse, for thy (Daniel's) people and "upon" thy (Daniel's) holy city. ( Jerusalem )
We then ask; Will the Church see this compassing about of the city of Jerusalem with armies?
No, the Church will not, and neither will the 144000 Hebrew virgins, that have NOT taken unto themselves any other God.
The 144000 are named by the "heads of the Princes of the thousands" in Revelation 7 and are sealed' in their forehead, (no longer partly blind) BEFORE the 7th seal is opened in Revelation 8:1.
Long before the 2 Witnesses come on the scene in Revelation 11:3-12 and before the 7th angel sounds his trumpet in Revelation 11:15
We must needs to remember that 1260 days (31/2 years) are passed of Tribulation from Revelation 11:3 through 11:12 and 2 WOES are past and the 3rd comes quickly.
The "seal" in the 144000's forehead is this:
Their eyes are open to the gospel of Jesus Christ, and they are no longer partially blind. These are not defiled with women, for they are virgins. They are the firstfruits of the Lamb. They follow the Lamb withersoever he goeth.

What then of the other Israelites, the remnant?
We find our answer in Isaiah 45:17) But Israel shall be saved "in the Lord" with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
And Paul writes in Romans 11:26) And so "all" Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion "the Deliverer" and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
And in Jeremiah 30:7) Alas! the day is great, so that none is like it': it is even "the time of Jacob's trouble;" but he' shall be saved "out of it."
Praise God!
It is a time that has never been before, nor shall ever be again. We know it as "great tribulation."
Great Tribulation mentioned {3} times in the whole of the scriptures.
1. Matthew 24:21 For "then" shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world "to this time," no, nor shall ever be.
2.Revelation 2:22 Behold, I will cast her (Thyatira) into a bed, and them' that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they' repent of their deeds.
3. Revelation 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they' which come out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. (The remnant of Israel)

Remember who great tribulation is for?
The time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

The 144000 Hebrew virgins
 Did you ever wonder why Paul phrased this to the Thessalonians in such a manner?
1 Thessalonians 4:16 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 shall rise first: 17) 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. 18) Wherefore "comfort" one another with these words.
We see "the voice of the archangel" mentioned here with the dead and we who are alive and remain.
Understand....the archangel is Michael, Israel's prince.
His voice is for the 144000 Hebrew virgins that go with us.
1. The dead first
2. The 144000 the firstfruits of the Lamb
3. We who are alive and remain.
We need another witness for a truth.
Let us go back to Numbers 10:1-8 and read;
1) And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 2) Make thee TWO trumpets of silver; of A WHOLE PIECE  shalt thou make THEM: that thou mayest "use them" FOR THE CALLING OF THE ASSEMBLY, and for the JOURNEYING OF THE CAMPS.
Stop right here!
1. calling of the assembly
2. Journeying of the camps.
This is a picture of the gathering of the congregation (righteous at his coming) and for the (journeying of the congregation at his glorious appearing at the end, an alarm)
3) And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Stop right here!
When the TWO are blown (them' being more than one) all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle "of the congregation."
4) And if they blow but with "ONE" trumpet, then' "the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel," shall gather themselves unto thee.
Stop right here!
Notice it is ONE trumpet sound that is to gather the heads of the Princes of the thousands to thee.
We also notice in verse 14-27 these were named by the heads of the "their" tribes, as we also read in Revelation 7 before the 7th sealed judgment is broken in Revelation 8:1
5) When ye blow an ALARM, then' the camps that lie on the east part(s) shall go forward.
6) When ye blow and ALARM the "second" time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they' shall blow an ALARM for their journey(s).
7) BUT when THE CONGREGATION is "to be gathered  together", ye shall blow, but "ye shall NOT SOUND AN ALARM.
Stop right here!
No alarm when the congregation is to be gathered together. The church is the congregation. We will here the SHOUT of the Lord "himself" for the dead first, then The heads of the princes of the thousands will here the voice of the archangel, Michael, their Prince, and then we who are alive and remain will here the TRUMP of God which sounds like an trumpet exceedingly loud.
NOW verse 9) And if ye (Israel) go to war "in your land" against  "the enemy" that opresseth you, then' ye shall blow an ALARM with "the trumpet(s); and ye "shall be remembered" before the Lord your God, and ye shall "be saved" FROM your enemies.
Stop right here!
Now let us look in Revelation 11:12 where the 2 Witnesses are caught up into heaven. and in verse 13) we read: 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 7 thousand: and "the remnant" were AFRIGHTED, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Stop right here.
The Remnant were affrighted, not the 144000 Hebrew virgins.
In Chapter 12:3  after the great wonder in heaven "a great red dragon" with 7 heads and 10 horns upon his head(s) 4) drew a 1/3 part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them' to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman.
( remember this is a great "sign" in heaven)
6) And the woman "fled" into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they' should feed her (the remnant) there 1260 days.
We are talking a total of 7 years +75 days.
1260 days for the TWO Witnesses
The first 1/2 of the Tribulation period is finished when the 2 Witnesses are taken up.
The 2nd set of 1260 days BEGIN for the Remnant to be kept and fed  in her place for which God had prepared for her in the wilderness. Starting in  Revelation 12:6
Remember we are looking at a 7 year period of time +another 75 days at the end.
A lot happens from Revelation 12:6 through Revelation 20:1-3 where the dragon is cast into the bottomless pit for 1000 years.
We find a reference from Matthew 24:28 in Revelation 19:21.
Matthew 24:28 Wheresoever the carcase is, there' will the eagle be gathered together.
Revelation 19:21 And the "remnant" were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which proceeded out of his mouth: and all' the fowls were filled with their' flesh.
Stop right here.
Who is the "remnant" here?
We find our answer in the previous verse #20 Those who had received the mark of the beast, and them' that worshipped his image.
ALL this in a 7 year period.
Time' is running out for the churches and for those who follow "the spirit" that NOW worketh in the children of disobedience. (the prince of the power of the air.)
 Matthew 24:42  Watch ye therefore: for ye know not what "hour" your Lord doth come.
I'm keeping on the Watch.

Mount Sion
According to my KJV mount Sion is mentioned (3) times in the whole of the scriptures.
1. Deuteronomy 4:48 From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon, 49) And all the plain on "this" side Jordan "eastward", even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah. 47) And they' (Israel) possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, TWO kings of the Amorites, which were on "this" side Jordan toward the sunrising; (GIANTS)
It is believed that Hermon was where the angels came down from heaven to do this evil with the daughters of men.
Paul writes to the Hebrews in 12:22-24 concerning to where they the Hebrews have come unto mount Sion, AND unto the city of the living God, the "heavenly " Jerusalan, and to an "innumerable" company of angels, 23) To the "general assembly and church of the firstborn, (Christ)
Earlier we read Paul speaking of where they in the Exodus had come to Mount Sinai.
But here we see that the mount Sion is in heaven and in the company of an innumerable company of angels.
When those angels came down in Genesis to have their way with the daughters of man, these angels were not innumerable.
Makes one wonder why these angels chose that very mount (Hermon) to descend upon?!
The Last mention is in Revelation 14:1. Here we see the Lamb standing with the 144000 having their Father's name written in their foreheads.
Relate this passage with the above text of "when ye shall see". and when the 144000 Hebrew virgins go with the church in Revelation 6:12-14, and all the individuals in 6:15-17 recognize that it is the Lamb and He' that sitteth on the throne, who is bringing the wrath upon them; and who shall be able to stand?
Remember ...Psalms 119:89 For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.
Before the world was.
Before Time, Space, and Matter
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning (Time) God created the heaven (Space) and the earth. (Matter)
Our Lord prayed the Father in John17:1-26
I draw attention to verse (5) And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee "before the world was."

What did Lucifer say? Isaiah 14:13
I will sit "also" upon the mount of "the congregation", in "the sides of the north.
But God said in verse 15; Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
It is "we" the righteous who shall be "like Christ", not Lucifer. 1 John 3:2
God Bless
