Fish River Canyon Hiking Trail - 3

(From Palm Springs to the Causeway)

 

From Palm Springs, the walk down Canyon starts becoming easier. The Canyon becomes wider with less major obstacles to overcome. Indeed, rock-hopping gives way to sand trudging and crossing 'to and fro' across the pebble strewn river bed to take the inside curve of the bends. From here on, 20-30 kms a day can be achieved, especially if the recognized shortcuts are taken. Just before reaching the causeway, hikers pass the grave of Lieutenant Thilo von Trotha, a German officer killed in a skirmish between the Germans and the local Nama people in 1905.

End-Time Bible Prophecy Study #9: 

The Jews & Modern State of Israel in Prophecy

 

Update Log

This is still the original posting of 20 Nov 2008. No updating has been done to this page yet.

 

Aim of this Study

The aim of this End-Time Bible Prophecy Study is to investigate what Scripture reveals concerning the fate of the Jews and then modern State of Israel during the imminent post-2007 turmoil in the Middle East.

 

Introductory Remarks

From the evidence provided in End-Time Bible Prophecy Study #1: From Shoemaker-Levi 9 to Blood Red Moons (The 1994-2015 Timeline) in which the validity of the 1994-2015 Timeline and its associated events were investigated, and in the light of the evidence presented from Scripture in End-Time Bible Prophecy Study #2: The Great Tribulation and the 1994-2015 Timeline, the following conclusions have been drawn:

bulletEvery seven years since 1994 something extraordinary occurred either in the heavens or on earth.
bulletThat something extraordinary will therefore occur in 2015.
bulletThat the extraordinary events of 2015 will be the Solar Eclipses and Blood Red Moons calculated by the NASA scientists.
bulletThat the Solar Eclipses and Blood Red Moons of 2015 are related to what is described in Joel 3:3, The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes.”
bulletShould the foregoing conclusions be valid, then the most likely time for the Great Tribulation to occur will be during the 3˝ years that precede 2015. 

 

If you haven't visited the two above-mentioned studies yet, I strongly recommend that you take time to do so at your earliest convenience. These studies hold the key to all the other Bible prophecy studies on this website. You will find the link to those pages on the End-Time Bible Prophecy 2009 Revelations Home Page.

To know that the 1994-2015 Timeline is based on the following four extraordinary events, each separated from the next by seven years, will suffice for this study.

1994: The comet Shoemaker-Levi 9 broke up and crashed into Jupiter with what was then described as 21 cosmic gun salutes.

2001: The September 11 (9/11) World Trade Centre & Pentagon terror attacks in America.

2008: The Global Financial Collapse with its epicentre in America, also described as the worst financial crisis of its kind in human history, hit the world on 15 September. 

2015: Blood Red Moons Phenomenon of the years 2014-2015, the only time in this century when 4 consecutive full lunar eclipses, known as a tetrad, will coincide with the Jewish religious feasts of Passover and Feast of Tabernacles.

 

The Jews and Modern State of Israel in Prophecy

In End-Time Bible Prophecy Study #4: Prophetic Significance of 2007 I have pointed out that according to Scripture a massive carnage is predicted for Jerusalem in the end times. Jesus Christ, Zechariah, Ezekiel and many other Hebrew prophets prophesied about this slaughter of millions of Jews in the Promised Land before Jesus Christ returns to this planet. Then they will look upon the One whom they have pierced, and they will be overwhelmed by shame. 

In Ezekiel 21:25-30 the prophet Ezekiel spoke about the final punishment of the Jews. He said this massacre of millions of Jews would occur in the place where they were created, in the land of their origin - that is, in the Promised Land (verse 30). They started returning to the Promised Land in significant numbers during WW II and became a nation in 1948. In 1967 they captured Old Jerusalem. I believe the capture of Old Jerusalem marks the moment when their 40-year probation period began. This trial period drew to a close in 2007. The way has now been opened for the terrifying events predicted for the Jews by Jesus Christ, Zechariah, Ezekiel and many other Hebrew prophets to go into fulfilment.

I've mentioned above that in Ezekiel 21 (verses 25 to 30) the final punishment of the Jews in the Promised Land is revealed. If Scripture speaks of a final punishment, what were the preceding ones? How many were there?

I'm going to show you in this study that between the death of Jesus Christ and 2007, seven judgements were allocated to the Jews. Furthermore, I'll show that the Jews have already been subjected to six of these judgements. 

"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him" (Deut. 18:18).

This Prophet mentioned in Deut. 18 represents Jesus Christ. God put His Words in Jesus' mouth. However, the seven judgements are not the result of the Jews killing the Son of God. They are the result of the Jewish leaders' rejection of the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Scripture gives us a clear overview of three of the seven judgements. They are the first, the sixth and the seventh.

I've already said that the seventh or final judgement to be executed in the Promised Land, is described in Ezekiel 21:25-30. 

The first judgement was described by Jesus Christ about 40 years before it transpired. It concerned the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 A.D.

"And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

Then let them which are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter there into.

For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled" (Luk. 21:20-22. See also Matt 24:15-16).

The sixth judgement depicted in Scripture was the Nazi holocaust during WW II. How many Jews know that the prophet Isaiah foretold the Nazi Holocaust 2700 Years in Advance? We read in Isaiah 3:16-26:

"The LORD said: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty and walk with outstretched necks, glancing wantonly with their eyes, mincing along as they go, tinkling with their feet,

therefore the Lord will strike with a scab the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will lay bare their secret parts1.

In that day the Lord will take away the finery of the anklets, the headbands, and the crescents; the pendants, the bracelets, and the scarves2;

the headdresses, the armlets, the sashes, the perfume boxes, and the amulets;

the signet rings and nose rings;

 the festal robes, the mantles, the cloaks, and the handbags;

 the mirrors, the linen garments, the turbans, and the veils.

Instead of perfume there will be rottenness; and instead of a belt, a rope; and instead of well-set hair, baldness3; and instead of a rich robe, a skirt of sackcloth; and branding marks4 instead of beauty.

 Your men shall fall by the sword and your mighty men in battle.

 And her gates shall lament and mourn; empty, she shall sit on the ground."

1. Jewish prisoners interned in the Nazi concentration camps, male and female, were stripped naked in public.

2. Their hair were shaven off.

 

3. Their jewelry and the gold in their teeth were confiscated.

4. A security number was branded on the arms of the Jews.

5.  History teaches us that the Nazi Germans committed this atrocity to the Jews. Scripture teaches us it was God! See verse 2.

The seventh judgement was depicted vividly by various Hebrew prophets. I've said earlier that one such depiction is found in Ezekiel 21:25-30. Zechariah also prophesied about this judgement.  In Zechariah 13:8-9 and 14:1-2 the prophet Zechariah foresaw that only one third of the Jewish population in the Promised Land would survive the next holocaust. He saw Jerusalem fall to the enemies of the Jews, the houses plundered and women raped. He saw half of the inhabitants of Jerusalem taken into exile and the other half preserved. The prophet Zechariah clearly stated in Zech. 14:3-4 that this carnage would precede the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. After that the Jews will look upon the One whom they have pierced!

Here follows a rundown of all seven judgements. The cryptic name for these seven judgements in the Book of Revelation is "the Seven Thunders" (Rev. 10). I believe this prophecy relates to the Jews because of its similarity with Ezekiel 2 & 3 regarding the "book of a scroll ... written within and without," and the instruction for it to be eaten. See Ezekiel 2:9-10 & 3:1-3.

 

The SEVEN THUNDERS of REVELATION 10 

 

"I myself will smite you SEVENFOLD for your sins." (Lev. 26:23)

Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joyfulness and gladness of heart, because of the abundance of all things,

therefore you shall serve your enemies whom the LORD will send against you, in hunger and thirst, in nakedness, and lacking everything. And he will put a yoke of iron on your neck until he has destroyed you." (Deuteronomy 28:47-48)

 

INTRODUCTION TO THE MYSTERY OF THE SEVEN THUNDERS

The 'seven thunders' constitute the full measure of the Almighty’s retributions the Jews must be subjected to between 31 CE and the end of the existing world order. After the 'seventh thunder' had done its work, the judgments of the Almighty over the Jews will be completed. Henceforth, no one on earth will ever be able to harm a Jew again!

The Almighty warned His people, Israel, almost 3600 years ago:

"And if by this discipline you are not turned to me, but walk contrary to me, then I also will walk contrary to you, and I myself will smite you SEVENFOLD for your sins. And I will bring a SWORD upon you, that shall execute vengeance for the covenant; and if you gather within your cities I will send pestilence among you, and YOU SHALL BE DELIVERED INTO THE HAND OF THE ENEMY"  (Leviticus 26 verse 23 to 25, RSV).  

The Scriptural code name for this sevenfold punishment is "seven thunders" (Revelation  10). It took effect after the Jews rejected the Almighty's Redeemer Messiah Jesus from Nazareth, and will come to a close shortly before He returns as Messiah King to this planet. Seven is the Almighty’s number of completeness. The 'seven thunders' thus  constitute the full extent of the Almighty’s retributions the Jews must be subjected to between 31 CE/AD and the end of the existing world order. And please note: It is for the sake of the 'covenant'!

 

THE MYSTERY SCROLL JOHN HAD TO EAT

REVELATION 10

"Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head ... "

"He had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land, and called out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring; when he called out, the seven thunders sounded."

"(A)nd I heard a voice from heaven saying, 'Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down."

"(A)nd the angel whom I saw ... swore by him who lives for ever and ever, ... that there should be no more delay, but in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God, as he announced to his servants the prophets, should be fulfilled."

"... and he said to me, 'Take it and eat; it will be bitter to your stomach, but sweet as honey in your mouth." (Revelation 10 verses 1-4, 6-7,9)

 

Revelation 10 Explained

The apostle John was instructed not to write the prophecy down. The sealing of the things uttered by the seven thunders thus implies that those revelations do not pertain to the followers of the Redeemer Messiah of Nazareth. That is why John was told to seal the message! To know to whom this prophecy was directed and why,  and what was written in the scroll, you must now read the 2nd and 3rd chapters of Ezekiel.

 

THE MYSTERY SCROLL EZEKIEL HAD TO EAT

"And he said to Me, 'Son of man, I send you to the people of Israel, to a nation of rebels, who have rebelled against me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day." (Ezekiel 2 verse 3)

"But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Be not rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you." (Ezekiel 2:8)

"And when I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me, and, lo, a written scroll was in it; and he spread it before me; and it had written on the front and on the back, and there were written on it words of lamentations and mourning and woe." (Ezekiel 2 verse 9 & 10. See also Ezek 3:1-3)

 

FOR BOTH MEN IT WAS NOT A PLEASANT MESSAGE TO HEAR 

John himself was a Jew. He understood to whom the message was directed, and why. This is why the message was bitter in his stomach.

THE FULFILMENT OF THE MESSAGE (THE PUNISHMENTS) COULD TAKE PLACE ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET -  This is why the angel stood with one foot on the sea and the other on the land. No matter where the Jews go, they'll not be able to escape these punishments.

THE MESSAGE WILL BE FULLY REVEALED VERY NEAR THE END, WHICH IS THE TIME WE NOW LIVE IN - It was ensured through an oath that the utterances of the seven thunders will be made known shortly before the seventh trumpet in the Book of Revelation is blown.

 

THE MYSTERY OF THE SEVEN THUNDERS UNVEILED!

bullet

The first thunder portrays the death and destruction that accompanied the Roman suppression of the Jewish revolts in the land of Israel during the first and second centuries ( 50 - 138 CE/AD).

bullet

The second thunder portrays the persecutions the Mohammedans subjected the Jews to between 1000 AD and 1050 CE in the eastern part of their empire, which led to the closure of the Jewish centres of learning that flourished in Mesopotamia for centuries.

bullet

The third thunder portrays the atrocities Christians subjected the Jews to in Europe and the land of Israel during the years of the Crusades (1096 - 1306).

bullet

The fourth thunder portrays the atrocities Christians subjected the Jews to in Europe during the years of the Black Plague (1348 - 1350).

bullet

The fifth thunder portrays the atrocities the Jews where subjected to during the Inquisitions, especially the Spanish Inquisition (1478 - 1834).

bullet

The sixth thunder portrays the unimaginable sufferings the Nazis subjected the Jews to during the World War II (1939 - 1945).

 

bullet

The seventh thunder portrays the events that will lead to the fall of the existing Zionist State of Israel and yet again the slaying of millions of Jews.

THE REPROACH WILL FINALLY BE LIFTED - After the 'seventh thunder' had done its work, the judgments of the Almighty over the Jews will be completed. Henceforth, no one on earth will ever be able to harm a Jew again. How do I know this?

The heavenly messenger had a rainbow over his head - This indicates that a COVENANT is here involved. Almighty God assured His people (the Jews) that even though He must chastise them, He will not forget His covenant with their father Abraham.  After almost 4000 years that covenant is still valid.  It was this assurance that made message as sweet as honey in John's mouth.

 

Closing Remarks

One of the great mysteries of the ages has now been unveiled to you. May this knowledge be a blessing to you and the people for whom it was initially intended - any truth-seeking Jew near you!
