PART 2

End-Time Prophecies

In preparation of imminent war in the Middle East!

Welcome to our Bible Prophecy Revelation 'Armageddon 2008' Page (2)

ARMAGEDDON IN 2008?

"Therefore wait for me," declares the LORD, "for the day when I rise up to seize the prey. For my decision is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, to pour out upon them my indignation, all my burning anger; for in the fire of my zeal all the earth shall be consumed." (Zeph. 3:8)

 "And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon." (Rev 16:16)

Rootages of the Sacred Names

Please note that the titles LORD and GOD in upper-case lettering are substitutes for the Sacred Name of the Creator denoted by the consonants, YHWH. Furthermore, the Name by which our Messiah is commonly known, Jesus, was transliterated from the Hebrew word for salvation, Yeshua. Yeshua was a post exilic derivative of the original Name, Yahoshua, which means ' YAH IS SALVATION.'

PROPHECY FOR 2008

In 2003 we made the following declaration concerning the possibility of all-out war in the Middle East by 2007:

"We are living under the weightiest time prophecy ever revealed to man. In about 4 years (reckoned from 2003) a mighty storm will be unleashed – the most destructive war ever to be waged on this planet will then take place." 

It appears our calculations for when war would erupt in the Middle East were not far off. The first shots of the war between Israel and Syria have already been fired when Israel attacked a Syrian nuclear facility a few weeks ago (in September 2007). Syria has vowed to retaliate soon.

The war between America and Iran is not far off either. Though Armageddon did not commence in 2007 as we expected, the process leading to that war sometime in 2008, has begun. It's is becoming more apparent every day that an American missile strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities in 2008 is inevitable. This determination is based on the fashion in which America usually builds a case for war against a country it intends to attack. First it harasses its foe with perpetual UN weapons inspections. Secondly, it tightens the screws systematically on its foe with various forms and degrees of UN sanctions. Thirdly, it imposes travelling restrictions on the ruling elite, after which it doesn't take long before their assets abroad are frozen. Finally, America calls for a coalition of the willing to approve and support it in attacking its foe. America has done all the above already, except the last one. This will be done over the weeks ahead. Watch the upcoming Annapolis Conference for this final phase of America’s effort in building a case for war against Iran. I’m convinced America won’t attack Iran before or over the Christmas season of 2007. Such an attack will drive the oil price through the roof, resulting in a black Christmas for the western world. However, he must attack Iran before he leaves office in January 2009. That leaves us with only 2008 for war with Iran.

You must remember that with George W. Bush it’s all about his ego. He’s a self-declared war president. The 9/11 World Trade Centre attacks occurred on his watch. Today Osama ben Laden is still at large. Al-Qaeda is still a worldwide scourge. Bush toppled Saddam Hussein, who turned out to be nothing but a toothless tyrant. He toppled the Taliban, who merely dispersed to fight another day. The bottom line is, Bush needs another war to make his mark on history. He believes a demolished Iran may just do it for him. What he doesn’t know is that Scripture tells us what the outcome of war with Iran will be. It will lead to the demise of the global free trade system, the collapse of the dollar and the fall of America. Read Revelation 16. It's all encrypted in that chapter - that is, if you believe America is Babylon the Great of the end times.

 

WHY WE BELIEVE PROBATION FOR THE JEWS ENDED IN 2007

THE EZEKIEL 4 TIME PROPHECY

“Then lie upon your left side, and I will lay the punishment of the house of Israel upon you; for the number of the days that you lie upon it, you shall bear their punishment.

“For I assign to you a number of days, three hundred and ninety days, equal to the number of the years of their punishment; so long shall you bear the punishment of the house of Israel.

“And when you have completed these, you shall lie down a second time, but on your right side, and bear the punishment of the house of Judah; forty days I assign you, a day for each year.

“And you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm bared; and you shall prophesy against the city.

“And, behold I will put cords upon you, so that you cannot turn from one side to the other, till you have completed the days of your siege.” (Ezekiel 4 verses 1 to 8)

This prophecy was sealed for more than 2500 years. Through the ages many interpreters of Scripture have tried to interpret it, but could not. All we knew about this prophecy till 1987 was that it is meant to be an important sign for the Almighty’s people.

In 1988 it dawned on us that we are that exceptional generation who have  been living  under this time prophecy for the last 21 years, and since 1967 should have been able to interpret it. The five principles necessary for interpreting this prophecy were then formulated.

 

THE FIVE PRINCIPLES (PARAMETERS) FOR INTERPRETING THE EZEKIEL 4  TIME PROPHECY

THE INTERPRETATION OF THE ENTIRE EZEKIEL 4 TIME PROPHECY

 

1. EZEKIEL'S 390 DAY TIME PROPHECY

Historical Overview:

333 BCE             Alexander the Great defeats the Persian armies at Issus. He also conquers Tyre and Gaza. A Jewish delegation from Jerusalem rushes to meet up with him. They appeal to him fervently not to attack their country and  beloved city. The occupation of the land of Israel by the Greeks is agreed upon.

332 BCE               Alexander enters Judea. The Greek occupation of Judea and Jerusalem officially commences.

143 BCE                Simon the Maccabee delivers the land of Israel from the Greeks.

63  BCE                The Roman Armies conquer Jerusalem and declare the land of Israel a province of their empire. 

138 CE                The Roman Caesar, Hadrian, dies unexpectedly.  He has just completed driving the last Jews out of the land of Israel. Shortly before his death he issued a decree that any Jew  who dares venture into the region of  Colonia Aelia  Capitolina (his name for Jerusalem), would be put to death on the spot. 

Explanation:

Between 333 BCE and 138 CE there are 80 years that do not qualify to be brought into calculation. These are 80 years during which the Maccabees were in power in the land of Israel.  The Maccabees were Jews that successfully fought against the Greek occupation, and ruled Israel between 142 BCE and 63 BCE.

The formula for the interpretation of the first part of this prophecy reads thus:

from ALEXANDER to HADRIAN (Daniel  9 verse 26 & 27, RSV), minus MACCABEAN ERA

            333 (BCE) + 138 (CE) – 80 = 391 – 1 

                                                      = 390 years 

Please  note that the rule for calculations across the BCE/CE divide  is here applied. The rule is very simple: 'Because of the absence of  year 0 on the Gregorian time-line,  when BCE values or CE values are deducted from a larger value, a year has to be added; when CE values and BCE values are added, a year has to be deducted.'

 

 

2. EZEKIEL'S 40 DAY TIME PROPHECY

Historical Overview:

1967                The Jews conquer old Jerusalem (East Jerusalem) during the Six-day War. For the first time in almost 2000 years the old city is in Jewish possession again. The Jews, however, have an enormous problem. They are compelled to share sacred ground with uncircumcised Christians and the hated Moslems. Thus the city is still under siege! The Almighty revealed to Ezekiel that this will remain the case until 2007, and for every day of these 40 years the Jews will 

“eat bread … with  fearfulness” and “drink water … in  dismay” (Ezekiel 4 verse 16).  

Think about these words when again you hear or read of bloody bomb and other terrorist attacks in Jerusalem.

2007                 We know that the current siege of old Jerusalem will end in the year 2007. There are two possible reasons for this: The enemies of the Jews can offer them everlasting peace (which will never happen!), or they can take old Jerusalem by force back from the Jews. What does the Almighty say will happen?

“For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses plundered and the women ravished; …" (Zechariah  14 verse 2)

According to the Scriptures a massive carnage is predicted for Jerusalem, and there's nothing earthlings can do to prevent it!

Explanation:

From the Ezekiel 4:6 prophecy, “And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on your right side, and you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed you each day for a year,” we deduced that the Jews would possess Old (East) Jerusalem in the last days for 40 years. Then war would erupt in the Middle East. The Jews got possession of the Old City in 1967. Therefore their probation period would end in 2007. 

The formula for the interpretation of the second part of the Ezekiel 4 Time Prophecy is therefore:  

from SIX-DAY WAR to WORLD WAR III

                                  1967  + 40  = 2007

 

If probation for the Jews ended in 2007, how far are we from this dreadful war? We've already stated here on the eve of 2008 we believe it's just a couple of months away now!

Another pertinent question: Why is such a war needed? The land of Israel has been flagrantly defiled. We believe such a war is needed to prevent the opening of any more brothels and casinos in the Holy Land! We believe such a war is needed to prevent Tel Aviv from becoming the gay capital of the world! We believe such a war is needed to prevent any more gay marches from defiling Jerusalem!
