Doves:

I think it is important that we are reminded once again, in this late, late hour, that our very destiny is about to be completed.  I again post the following to those who are watching and waiting with baited breath for the return of our Lord Yahushua.

Modern Israel is God’s time clock for us to gauge where we are on His timeline.  So…..

Where in the world are we?  What is going on?  Please consider the following:

The first seed in 1,827 years for the return of Jews to Palestine occurred August 29, 1897.

General Chinese Gordon of Britain had the tomb of Christ excavated in 1892.  That today is called the Garden Tomb and is the actual burial place of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The agreement with Theodor Herzl, recognized founder of the Zionist Movement was formalized and issued in 1917, following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire at the close of WW1.  Jewish return to Palestine picked up steam remarkedly following the great war, which officially ended Novemeber 11, 1917.

General Edmund Allenby of Britain crossed the Jordan River December 9, 1917 into Palestine and entered Jerusalem December 11, 1917.  

.The League of Nations, formed at the end of WW1 authorized the United Kingdom to completely control Palestine by declaration on  July 24, 1922.

The Nazi genocide program, which claimed between 11 million and 17 million people in total began in 1939 and ended at Germany’s defeat in 1945.  Of the total, 6 million were Jews, consisting of 1 million children, 2 million women, and 3 million men.  This represented 2/3rds of all Jewish people living in Europe at the time and 1/2 of the Jews worldwide.  Death camps were set up with names such as Dachau, Ravensbruk, Treblinka, and Auschwitz.  The program was to eliminate and wipe the Jews from the face of the earth as being “inferior” beings.  The Nazis called it the “final solution”.

The first to discover the horror of Hitler’s genocide program of the Jews and others was Russia.  In late 1944, Russian soldiers reported finding millions of men’s suits and garments as it approached what would later become known as Auschwitz Concentration Camp.

The full horror of the Nazi genocide program against Jews was uncovered by the Allies on April 15, 1945, when allied soldiers under the command of U. S. General Dwight  D. Eisenhower entered the death camps following Germany’s defeat. The media at the time for the U. S. consisted of newsreel reports known as Movietone News.  Graphic photographs were shown in local theaters across America of the great horror.

Italy surrendered along with Germany and Benito Mussolini was executed in a public square in Italy.  His body was hung in a public square for all to view.

Japan continued to fight “to the last man”.  This caused American President Harry S. Truman to decide to use the atomic bomb against the Empire of Japan in order to try to end the bloody Pacific war.  The atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan on July 6, 1945, untimately killing about 70,000 Japanese citizens.  Japan’s fierce determination to fight on caused a second bomb to be dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, killing thousands.  The war immediately ended in August, 1945 with the unconditional surrender of Japan.

Out of the ashes of World War 2 came the United Nations.  It was fashioned on the same idea as the former League of Nations, which disbanded years earlier.  One of the first and pressing needs of the world was a home for Jewish refugees of Hitler’s onslaught and the “final solution”.  

The first unidentified flying object crashed at Roswell, New Mexico on July 2, 1947.  It caused a worldwide stir and continues to do so to now.

The world’s Jews are assured by the United Nations to be allowed to become a nation again.  This occurred November 29, 1947.

Exactly 163 days later, the first Jewish delegates sat down at the United Nations on May 11, 1948.

Exactly 3 days later, a Jewish state to be called Israel was born in the U. N. decree May 14, 1948, as the only nation “born in a day”.  Total days 166.  It was named Israel because it occupied the same land as ancient Israel.

Exactly 280 days after the first delegates took their seats on May 11, 1948 in the United Nations, Israel’s new government was born on the Feast of the New Year of Trees, February 14, 1949 when the Knesset was first organized.

Exactly 280 days after the May 14, 1948 birth of Israel, Israel’s first Prime Minister, David Ben Gurion was inaugurated February 17, 1949.

The Jewish settlers made the land “blossom as a rose” through modern farming techniques and irrigation of the land.  They fought off their Arab neighbors often and decisively so that it was said that “Israel will do valiantly”.    

Jerusalem became the “eternal capital” of Israel on June 8, 1967 after the so called six day war during which Jordanian forces were defeated.  The holy sites were carefully protected during these battles to the extent possible.  The Jews gained the very important temple mount along with the “wailing wall”, the remnant of Solomon’s temple base.

Syria was driven away from the northern border of Israel being forced to abandon the Golan Heights near the Bekaa Valley in October, 1973 in what was dubbed the Yom Kippur war.  The border with Lebanon now has a safety zone to prevent shelling of Israeli citizens from the Golan Heights, which overlook the Sea of Galilee.

Peace agreements have been attempted on several occasions between Israel and its enemies. All attempts have failed to date.  Now, the existence of Israel is being threatened by the biblical king of the north, Syria, which is a puppet for Iran (Persia).  It appears that this standoff will result in war in the middle east.

It has been 114.77 solar years since Theodor Herzel chaired the Zionist Congress that started the regathering of the Jews in 1897.  If the tetrads of eclipses are true pointers and the sign of Noah allotting 120 years of 360 days each holds true there remains only 21 days until the man of sin declares himself to be God.  At this date, June 5, 2012, it appears the stage is surely and truly set for the end times.  That means that the rapture of the Bride of Christ, the true Church is imminent, within only a few days, about 21.  It is expected by a growing number of watchers who post blogs and articles daily now.  This soon to come event will arrive no later than June 25, 2012.  The mainline churches are mostly apostate now, having bought into all kinds of damnable lies and heresies.  Political correctness, as it is so-called, has done great damage to the “faith, once delivered to the saints”.  Conspiracy theories abound as the Bible so indicates that they will.  Evil is now called good, and good is now called evil in many circles.  This generation seems to have decided to go socialist, because being free capitalist is “just too hard to do”.  It seems people only want to party and have a good time while the institutions of God are abased and done away with.

With respect to the ‘sign of Noah” recorded in Matthew 24: 32ff, it would be appropriate to now review this.  Noah was told that 120 years of 360 days  each was determined upon his civilization before destruction.  Jesus said that “as it was in the day of Noah”, which I believe involves 120 years of 360 days each on the modern state of Israel because God has declared that Israel is his time clock for the latter days.  Thus, 120 x 360 = 43,200 days back then, and it is being repeated again now.  From the first day of the first Zionist Congress under founder Theodor Herzl on August 29, 1897 until December 7, 2015 is exactly and to the day 43,200.  Because the Bible’s definition of  great tribulation is 1,260 days in length, and because God declared that His Church would not go into any part of this awful time period, that means that the rapture of His Church must be before the date of June 25, 2012.  That is only 21 days from now.

On a time line it would look like this:

8/29/1897……………………..43,200 days……………………………..12/7/2015

Broken down according to the counts given in Daniel and Revelation the last time period of 7 years would look like this:

10/29/2008……………………..4/11/2012…………..9/23/2015 + 75 days ...12/7/2015

The middle point of 4/11/2012 plus 75 days of Daniel 12 added = June 25, 2012.  That is the last day before the final 1,260 days take over.  Today is June 5, leaving 21 days including today left.  That is how close we are to the rapture of the Church, I believe.

Thankfully, the Kingdom Age found in Revelation 20 will begin December 8, 2015 and go for 360,000 days with Jesus Christ as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  He will rule and reign over all the earth during this wonderful period of time.

It is therefore imperative that God’s people repent of all known sin and cleanse themselves using I John 1:9 “that if thou will confess your sins, He is faithful and just to forgive you of your sins, and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness”.  Complete submission to our God and Savior Jesus Christ I absolutely essential if we want Him to remove us from this sin-cursed world system in which we find ourselves trapped.    

I can only speak for me and mine and that is to say, “As for me and my house, we will serve and worship the LORD.”

All glory to God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

Yours in the Lord Yahushua (Jesus Christ)
