Publisher’s Preface
Greetings! The following presentation is volume thirty-two of a 36-volume production of some 6,000 pages on “Ezekiel and YHWH’s Judgment for the Good News People,” all of which is on the Internet at the www.AgeEnd.com web site.
This overall effort provides an interpretation of the Good News message in the New Testament, its linkage to the book of Ezekiel, and an application of both to the age-end prophecies relating to certain nations and peoples now out in the world. In order for this single volume to be understood and comprehended, it is imperative that the study be read from its beginning--from page one of volume one.
Anyone trying to read this volume or the study’s 6,000 pages at any mid-point will end up in a state of confusion without having read and digested the preceding material. It is crucially important that this work be read in sequence from its beginning--otherwise, the reader will almost certainly end up missing the essence of the message!

Chapter 506--The End of Yisrael’s Rebellion
The Prophetic Future
Throughout this production, mention has been made from time to time of some facets of man’s (and especially Yisrael’s) immediate prophetic future. Previous chapters, in particular, mention the several great age ending events or signs that are now falling into place which will affect all of so-called humanity for all of history.
While some of these references are informing, they are quite scattered and may still not have much meaning at this point in time. They have not been arranged into any real sequence of events as is necessary for comprehension.
These next few chapters (and a later Appendix E) will bring these several remarks together in some sequence or order and along with some of the relevant Scriptures which might can give the student of truth a better overview of where the House of Yisrael “possibly” stands at this moment in time.
The word “possibly” has been purposely used here because the subject of prophecy is extremely complex and interpretation is not always easy. Hence, the following presentation represents the attempts of this writer to interpret the prophetic Word and apply it to the present world situation. Of course, it can be wrong. But it is the current thinking of this writer.
Background
Thus, there is a need here to mention the backdrop for the present world situation, as outlined in the previous chapters. For sure, man is approaching the age end. The entire, present system is about to abort and terminate. There can be no mistaking what is taking place in this regard. There are a huge number of signs which say that the age end is upon man.
A preceding chapter described the present Prophetic Overview which illustrates that a whole series of events are coming together to usher in the great Messianic age and Kingdom, as described in the Book. Yes, everything now taking place in the world merely represents a prelude to the establishment of YHWH’s Kingdom.
This is a profound and extraordinary future which all believers anxiously and patiently have hoped for over many years. Even the famous model prayer stated by YESHUA includes a petition and plea for this Kingdom to come.
It is not difficult for the believer to come to a realization that man (to include any type of a man--Adamite, behemah, chiayah, nokri/nekar or whatever) is utterly and totally incapable of governing his paths. We simply don’t have it in our present mentality or make-up to govern ourselves. We need YHWH YESHUA and His government in order to exist and survive.
Hence, the time for this coming government and Kingdom of YHWH YESHUA now seems evident upon us. As discussed in the above cited, previous chapter on Prophetic Overview, the signs are now in place.
Once this marvelous and supernatural Kingdom and government comes over earth, it will usher in the Messianic age, whereby YESHUA will rule the earth for a thousand years. Yes, YESHUA will be crowned King over the earth and all of its inhabitants. He will take an already established throne which will prove to be most spectacular when the event takes place (to be discussed below).
YESHUA will set things right in the creation. For sure, one of the most important events that will transpire with the Messianic Kingdom is that there will be an end to sin. Sin has been judged wrong and it will not survive.
Yes, the End of Sin in Yisrael
Some of the former presentations herein made mention of a coming New Covenant that The MOST HIGH will make with the House of Yisrael, whereby she will be cleaned up from her harlotry and whoredom to allow A Righteous YHWH YESHUA to enter into a new (or correctly a renewed) marriage contract with her.
In effect, Yisrael must stop sinning. And by the coming New Covenant, she will stop sinning. Now, this idea on stopping sin is fairly foreign in Christendom’s eyes. Moreover, Christians have convinced the public at large that it is impossible to not sin.
Hence, per their theology, even Christians are expected to sin. But they don’t have anything to worry about since their sweet Gee-Zeus automatically forgives them whenever they sin. Consequently, when the average Christian stood up and said some meaningless words about “belief” and/or was baptized in an unscriptural ceremony, he not only gained forgiveness for all past sins, but all future sins as well.
This permissiveness and lack of accountability and responsibility have extended to almost all facets of the modern, contemporary society. Parents allow children to get away with almost all kinds of things. Whippings and disciplining of children are virtually out of the question, as was discussed in previous chapters.
Of course, this permissiveness has spilled over into adult lives, so much so, that even grown people are not responsible. Naturally, crime is exploding and no one seems to know why. The collective population is growing more and more irresponsible and careless toward standards, morality and righteousness. A man’s word is no longer his bond.
So Christians allow or in some instances teach their people to sin (when they teach against YHWH’s Torah that defines sin). But under the New Covenant, be assured that this sinning must stop. It’s not in The ELOHIM’s purpose to allow His election and saved people the option of continuing in sin with a bliss that they don’t have anything to worry about.
Since Yisrael is the subject of the New/Renewed Covenant, be assured that she must learn some new thinking. And this is precisely what will happen to the House of Yisrael and her peoples. Sin must and will stop. The prospect of this new thinking (of stopping sin) and the related New/Renewed Covenant will now be pursued with a focus on events of the age end, because the topics are related.
Thus, the immediate prophetic future for the House of Yisrael (in the context of the seven years of Yakov’s Trouble) will act in helping the House of Yisrael to commence doing something which she has never done in her past history of some 3,800 years. She has never obeyed The ETERNAL. But He will bring about conditions here in the age end to force her to start obeying and stop sinning!
Material on the Millennium
And for this future, there seems to be an abundance of prophetic material relating to the millennium; and of course, Yisrael, both in this age end and in the millennium. While the purpose of this study is not to examine the millennium, per se, a few remarks will be made to facilitate the presentation of a discussion on the role of the House of Yisrael during the next “few” years preceding the termination of this age.
Over the last 150 years or so, some persons in Christendom (primarily, because of the work of the Age to Come Adventists in the 1850s) have come to appreciate that during the millennium YESHUA will be KING over planet earth with His throne to be established on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem--apparently, in the coming millennial Temple (Ezek 40-44).
While most Christians can never begin to grasp this fact of YESHUA’s millennial rule of planet earth, with its basic population consisting of fleshly humans/humanoids, it is the backbone of Scriptural prophecy. Everything in the now pending age end is for the express purpose of ushering in this Messianic age.
Too much of Christendom has been taught the fairy tales and vain speculations of going to heaven to float around on clouds forever. For sure, the earth is the planned immediate future for man (Matt 5:5).
Therefore, YHWH YESHUA returns to earth to become The KING over an earth mostly made up (at least initially) of fleshly humans/humanoids of various nations--perhaps much like one finds in the world today (Rev 19:15-16). And this fact is one of the reasons why a millennial Temple will be built on Mount Moriah and the sacrifice of animals will resume (Ezek 40-45).
Of course, the world’s population will be dramatically decreased by at least 90% or likely even more of today’s 6 billion or so people, apparently by the start of YESHUA’s millennial rule. The several judgments in Revelation and particularly the second (mass) death will see the death of billions of humans (Rev 20:6).
Beyond the fleshly humans/humanoids, who will survive, there surely will be the previously described 301,775 kingdom officials from YHWH’s elections of the past 6,000 years (plus, probably a similar number of changed women). These translated men will be kings and priests, under YESHUA, to help Him carry out His authoritarian rule of planet earth.
Rebellion toward The ELOHIM’s Torah will categorically end during the millennium. Humans/humanoids, in the flesh, will be made to start obeying things that they have historically ignored, ridiculed and made light of for the past 6,000 years. The creation will come into harmony with YHWH’s will and purpose during the millennium.
The Throne
Previous chapters have discussed the movement of the throne of David from out of the Middle East to the British Isles where it has remained with the line of David until modern times. This background then opens the door to a fantastic revelation.
Unbeknown to a lot of people, YHWH YESHUA comes to earth to take possession of His rightful throne; which, interestingly, is present on planet earth this day and has been here for the past 3,000 years since it was first established with David in ancient Yisrael (Lu 1:32-33). The point here has been made in those previous comments.
In the establishment of the Davidic kingdom, The HIGHEST made a number of unconditional and irrevocable promises to David (as quoted in a prior chapter)--specifically, that a descendant of his would always sit upon that physical throne in rulership over Israelites (II Sam 7:12-16; I Kg 2:4; 9:4-5; 11:11-13; II Kg 19:32-36; I Chron 17:11-15; 22:9; 28:4-5; II Chron 7:18; 13:5; Ps 89:20-37; Jer 33:17, 20).
As described in former comments, these promises by YHWH were so profound that they extended beyond pledges made by mortal men. The ELOHIM went so far as to assert that as long as there are days, nights, seasons, and the ordinances regulating the signs in the heavens, His pledge to David, of the perpetual nature of his throne and his heirs sitting upon it, could not be and would not be broken (Jer 33:20, 21, 25, 26).
Consequently, did Nebuchadnezzar’s conquest of Jerusalem, in the 6th century BCE, break YHWH’s promise to David? Positively not! After all, any one capable of seeing the sun and moon in the heavens, can look and verify their continued presence. Assuredly, David’s throne is still on earth somewhere today in rulership over Israelites (as discussed earlier). That promise could not and would not be broken.
Koniyahu, Revisited
Just before the final Babylonian conquests, some things were to happen in the line of Davidic rule which would ultimately prove to be most important. The legal line went from Yoshiyahu to his son Yehoyakim, and then to Yehoyakim’s son Yehoyakhin (Jeconiah [Yekhanyahu in the Hebrew] or Koniyahu, who was removed to Babylonian exile by Nebuchadnezzar).
At that time, Tzidkiyahu, the brother of Yehoyakim, was questionably installed on the throne by the Babylonians (although apparently, with YAH’s allowance).
The rightful heir, Koniyahu, had sons named Shealtiel and Pedayah (as discussed earlier, both born in Palestine or in Babylon). Shealtiel (or Pedayah, as the case may be) was to become the legal ancestor of The Man YESHUA, born some 500 years later.
Because of his vast sins, The MOST HIGH placed a curse on Koniyahu that would not allow him or his descendants to sit on David’s throne, though they were otherwise entitled to it (Jer 22:24-30).
However, YHWH’s law declares that children are not to be punished for the sins of their parents beyond the third/fourth generations (Ex 20:5). So this curse must have ended in Babylon or shortly thereafter. It was not perpetual and there was a clear end to it according to YAH’s Own law.
So while Koniyahu and his son Shealtiel (or Pedayah) could not have the throne, some of their later descendants could possess it--possibly by the time of or not long after Koniyahu’s grandson Zerubavel (a double ancestor of YESHUA--Matt 1:12; Lu 3:27, as noted previously on YESHUA’s genealogy), who was to later rule as Governor over the Israelites in the return from Babylon (Ezra 3:1-2; Hag 2:20-21).
It Will Return to Its Owner
Not only could this line of Koniyahu eventually possess the throne, but it was legally entitled to it. The takeover by Tzidkiyahu meant that his line was not the rightful and legal heirs of the throne. At best, they were only granted a temporary possession of it until it could be properly returned to the line of Koniyahu in a future time frame.
This reversion of the throne back to its rightful owner was alluded to by the prophet Haggai (Hag 2:21-23). But with Yirmeyahu’s help, after the fall of Jerusalem, the line of Tzidkiyahu (with the throne) was to prosper in their new land (after leaving Palestine) and they have perpetually ruled over portions of the House of Yisrael for the last 2,500 years.
From the place of its initial displacement, the throne has moved a few times and very soon, it must be overturned and moved at least one more time--back to Palestine; where, in time, it will be placed with its rightful heir, YESHUA, in the midst of a restored Davidic kingdom in Yisrael (Ezek 21:26-27).
A previous chapter focused on the several movements of the throne (in the context of Yakov’s Pillar Stone) and the likelihood that the age end will see some three more movements. Importantly, Ezekiel 21:27 seems to suggest that the time will be reached where it will be certainly vacant when YESHUA returns to take possession of it.
Chapter 507--Trouble Unfolds on Yisrael
Yechezkel, Revisited
In terms of the immediate future for the House of Yisrael (from the present to the commencement of the millennium), the book of Ezekiel is perhaps the single, best source of information in existence, as discussed in former chapters. Without repeating the previous remarks, some points need to be recalled with some added interpretations.
There are a series of dates in Ezekiel which are extremely important, if one can but interpret them correctly. The book opens with the prophet’s vision or visit on the fifth day of the fourth month of the fifth year of Koniyahu’s captivity (which also seems to be the 30th year, assuredly of some cycle, as described in former chapters herein-- Ezek 1:1-2).
Something around 7-12 days or so was to pass before Yechezkel moved to his house to begin his trial, possibly while being tied up and laying down on his sides. If both Yehudah and Yisrael were involved, he accomplished this effort (or completed the vision, if it was a vision) in the next 430 (390 + 40) days, which was to end by the fifth day of the sixth month of the sixth year of Koniyahu’s captivity (Ezek 4:5-6; 8:1).
Now, according to the Scriptural luni-solar calendar, this suggested 430 days would have had to involve an intercalcary year of thirteen moons in order to work out with the established dates. This interesting chronological time period also goes to disprove the validity of the solar calendar used by the Essenes and modern groups as well.
There is no way that any solar calendar (365 days, with twelve months in a year) can produce this 430 days from between the twelfth-seventeenth days of the fourth month of one year to the fifth day of the sixth month of the next year. This issue was discussed in some detail in a former chapter and will be further covered in later appendices.
Howbeit, if there is to be an age end witness of Yechezkel, it will seemingly start in the 30th year of some applicable cycle, as described in the prior chapter (although such a witness is not totally necessary since the House of Yisrael peoples have had the work of Yechezkel available to them in the form of the written Scriptures in the vernacular for the last 390 years).
The Sign
It appears that Yechezkel beheld the chastisements and punishments, outlined supposedly in the context of Jerusalem (Ezek 4-7). But as pointed out before, there was one little remark which made the entire event most extraordinary.
YHWH told the prophet Yechezkel that the whole thing (that was to fall upon Jerusalem in the then next seven years) was but a sign for the House of Yisrael (Ezek 4:3). In short, the terrible pain coming on Jerusalem (coming about five to seven years later) would be a sample of the pain to later come on the House of Yisrael (in a later time frame).
As these words are being written by this writer in early 2003, that time of punishment for the House of Yisrael is still future. It has never happened in the history of Yisrael, in the past 2,700 years. Of course, it will. And the student of truth can determine when it will occur because Yechezkel seems to have dated it. Significantly, Yechezkel’s prophecies are generally dated, as already noted.
Yisrael To Have 390 Years of Sin
But more importantly, Yechezkel indicated that this punishment would come upon the House of Yisrael at the conclusion of a period of 390 years of accountable sin (Ezek 4:5). Now, there are important periods of 390 years concluding almost every year. Take, for example, the British colonies in North America (the US and Canada).
They commenced in 1607 at Jamestown (around May 15th in the Julian Calendar, but about Siwan 1 in the Scriptural calendar), making an elapse of 390 years in 1997.
Alternatively, the Jamestown colony was abandoned and revitalized in 1610, making an end of 390 years in 2000. The KJV of the Book was published in 1611/1612--making a 390 year terminus in 2001/2002 (which is very important, as noted in a prior chapter). Too, the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620, making a 390 terminus in 2010.
There seems to be two ways of calculating this 390 years. In the ante-type example of the 390 years allocated to Yehudah, the 390 years’ count (by progressive counting) started in a year following the initial three years that Rehoboam walked in the ways of David (II Chron 11:17; 12:5). Thus, the 390 years count started in the fourth year.
This delay meant that Rehoboam faced his first attack from the external power of Egypt in his 5th year (I Kg 14:25; II Chron 12:2). Thus, the final siege on Yehudah started in her 393d year and ended in her 394th year (from Rehoboam’s first year) or perhaps the siege started in the 394th year and ended in her 395th year (from the division of the kingdom, if the division happened in Shlomo’s last year).
If this analogy holds, it could mean that the final siege of 390 days may start in Yechezkel’s 32d year. In the context of accountable sin, the 390 years may possibly run in conjunction with the time that the English speaking peoples had the KJV in the vernacular (from 1611-1612, plus three to five years for the grace period). Alternatively, the count here, on the KJV, may prove to be 400 years (to 2011-2012).
At or near the conclusion of this 390 years of accountable sin, Yisrael gets into some preliminary and initial trouble (possibly, with some trouble surfacing by the 15th day of the 8th month, and more trouble around the 10th day of the 10th month--at some point in time, the trouble involves some multi-national force, like a Russian-Chinese-Islamic-Latin alliance or something similar.
The Problem
This trouble on the House of Yisrael nations likely unfolds because of owing vast sums of money to foreign powers (but being unable to pay off those foreign debts) and the many years of Israeli support (which has infuriated the Muslims). This last issue has the possibility of another twist.
The January-February 2000 “Tzemach Letter” (p. 4) noted that in the recent Arab-Israeli peace talks, the Clinton administration raised the possibility of a US-Israeli defense pact (which would commit the US to go to the aid of Israel in case Israel is attacked). If such a pact materialized, it could open the door for a Muslim, Russian and Third World decision to move first against the US before striking the Israeli state.
In other words, a defense pact between America and Israel may prompt an alliance of these enemies to choose to move against the US with a plan to later attack the state of Israel. But regardless of whatever reason, the Word is clear that these enemies do move against the House of Yisrael nations. YHWH will support the attackers when this happens.
Consequently, the House of Yisrael seems to eventually undergo a temporary economic difficulty (perhaps an embargo around the 10th day of Teveth of Yechezkel’s 31st year), which will quickly subside (perhaps after 40 days or so).
The Siege
However, very early thereafter, the trouble will likely resurface again. Except this time, it will be far more serious and it will not subside. It charges at Yisrael like an unstoppable freight-train or mad bull elephant, when a foreign siege of some sort develops to last for 390 days.
This siege gets serious when a nuclear attack commences about a year later, to be followed a month later by an invasion and conquest. This trouble on Yisrael could, in total, follow the pattern established with Yechezkel and Yehudah some 2,558-2,559 years ago (which, in time, covered roughly seven years).
Whenever the final siege starts (probably in Yechezkel’s 32d year), the initial problem could really have started around the 8th to 10th months in the preceding year (likely involving political/economic problems of some sort).
Like the serious trouble on Bul 15th in 2000 (to be described in later remarks), one might expect more serious problems on Bul 15 and Teveth 10 in Yechezkel’s 30th-32d years. The basis of the 10th of Teveth trouble was noted earlier and will be further discussed later.
Therefore, the 10th of Teveth of Yechezkel’s 31st year could see the first of an economic embargo against Yisrael. If so, it will probably subside after about 40 days or so (as happened in the initial Babylonian siege against Jerusalem, when the Babylonians temporarily withdrew--Jer 37:5-11) and then resume the next year (in Yechezkel’s 32d year).
The outline of Ezekiel 1-4 would allow that the final siege might start in Yechezkel’s 32d year--as early as Siwan (in a regular year) or the fourth month (in an intercalcary year). This siege may terminate with an invasion and conquest around the 17th day of the fourth month of Yechezkel’s 33d year.
Yechezkel started his prophetic work in the 5th year of Yehoyakhin’s captivity. Jerusalem fell in his 12th year of captivity. This means that Yechezkel’s initial prophecies covered seven years (by progressive counting) and eight years by inclusive counting and appear to almost dovetail with a similar mark off of seven years in the age end.
Jerusalem--a Sign for Yisrael
Yechezkel prophesied first of the fall of Jerusalem as a sign for the fall of the House of Yisrael. The actual fall of Jerusalem came some seven years later (in Yechezkel’s 37th year). In the age end, the same sequence will evidently occur, but with one alteration. The House of Yisrael falls first (perhaps in Yechezkel’s 33d year). And some four years or so later, Jerusalem falls to the Beast for the final time (in Yechezkel’s 37th year).
Apparently, things will work out that YESHUA returns in Yechezkel’s 37th year which is not dated or cited, per se, in the book of Ezekiel, nor is there a discussion about the return of YESHUA (although the return is implied). Since Yechezkel was a watchman for the House of Yisrael, his primary focus was only upon what was happening to the Israelite people of the House of Yisrael.
After YESHUA returns, Yechezkel’s first focus on Yisrael happens when YESHUA is recognized as The GOOD SHEPHERD, Who seeks out and recovers His scattered sheep from around the world to return them to Palestine (Ezek 34:10-22). This recovery probably happens in Yechezkel’s 38th year.
The ante-type in I Maccabees suggests that the recovery takes place in the year following the cleansing of the Temple (I Macc 5:17-23). Since the primary focus of Yakov’s Trouble probably does not surface until Yechezkel’s 32d-33d year (with the fall of the House of Yisrael nations), it might be that the conclusion of Yakov’s Trouble occurs in Yechezkel’s 39th year (thus, allowing two years for the recovery).
In the ante-type of Yakov’s Trouble, the House of Yehudah’s problems first started on the 10th day of the 10th month of one year (Yechezkel’s 35th year) and quickly subsided (c556 BCE). The trouble resumed and intensified the next year (c555 BCE). The kingdom fell in the next year, in c554 BCE (in Yechezkel’s 37th year).
On the basis of actual events associated with Jerusalem, the book of Ezekiel covered about seven years (although there were later prophecies received in the prophet’s 50th year (Ezek 40:1) and in his 52d year (Ezek 29:17).
In the typical fulfillment, the events preceding YESHUA’s return will surely happen in Yechezkel’s 30th-37th years (with Jerusalem falling to the Beast in possibly the fourth month of the 37th year). Hence, Yechezkel, in both instances, covers about seven years from the beginning of the prophecies until the fall of Jerusalem to the Beast.
More on the Ante-Type
In the ante-type with Yehudah, much of the material after the fall of Jerusalem (from Ezekiel 34 and forward) was prophetic with little in the way of actual events in Palestine in Yechezkel’s day. Manifestly, Ezekiel 34:10 and forward does largely apply to the age end situation, following the return of YESHUA.
Interestingly, in the ante-type, trouble continued upon the Jews in the area for another five or six years, before the last of them were deported (Jer 52:30). Yehudah had seven years of terror (likewise, Yehudah had seven years of terror in 66-73 CE with the Romans and from 1938 to 1945 with the Nazis), just as the age ending House of Yisrael will have seven years of Yakov’s Trouble (Yechezkel’s 30th-32d to the 37th-39th years).
One can check Yechezkel’s outline (chapters 4-7) of what happens in the 390 days siege and conquest of the House of Yisrael and relate it to the first several seals of the book of Revelation, and more importantly to the curses in YHWH’s law (for disobedience of His Torah), as written by Moshe (Lev 26; Deut 28).
All of this is still future for the House of Yisrael, as these lines are being written in early 2003. It hasn’t happened yet. But assuredly, it will!
Chapter 508--The Trouble Intensifies for Yisrael
Yisrael’s Corrective Punishment
The coming punishment on the House of Yisrael nations and people involves breaking the pride of Yisrael’s power (her monetary system?), a drought, famine, cannibalism, the behemah humanoids going wild (when their welfare checks end--Lev 26:22; Deut 28:5, 26; Ezek 5:17; 14:1-5) to make Yisrael’s highways and byways unsafe for travel or social intercourse, a destruction of Yisrael’s sun worship churches and obelisks, a nuclear war of about 30 days (likely near the end of the siege), and a final invasion when the Israelites do not even go out to fight (Ezek 7:14).
Some 75-90% (or so) of the Israelites will quickly die from the famine, pestilence and war. Yeshayahu tells of the destruction and death of most persons of the House of Yakov, though they had become like the sands of the seaside (Isa 10:20-23).
After this series of terrifying judgments on the age ending House of Yisrael, the surviving Israelites face an eventual slavery and captivity in the “early summer” of one year and still more deaths later.
The former lands of Yisrael will be divided among the behemah, chaiyah and nokri survivors and the conquerors in payment of Yisrael’s outstanding debts (Ezek 7:24; Amos 7:7). The Israelites remaining alive at the time of the invasion will face enslavement by their foreign conquerors (Lev 26:33-39; Deut 28:32-42; Ezek 6:8-9; 12:4-6, 11; Hos 5:9).
In terms of this coming punishment, it is importantly a part of the curses in the law to fall on Yisrael for sin (Lev 26; Deut 28). It will be just as automatic and certain as the blessings were which have fallen on Yisrael for the past few centuries (because of the obedience of Avraham).
From the outline of these curses in the Torah, it is clear that the curses (mainly the foreign conquests) in Leviticus 26 involve two periods of military conquest and captivity. These two different conquests should not be confused. They are different and are separated by about 2,700 years in time.
There is a particular distinction between the fall of the House of Yisrael to the Assyrians, c700 BCE, and the coming fall of the House of Yisrael to various foreign conquerors in the age end. The Torah shows the first conquest in Leviticus 26:14-17, while the age ending fall is covered in Leviticus 26:18-45. The latter trial is far the worst.
The Four Horns
The basis of this final conquest and destruction of the House of Yisrael nations involves the actions of four primary powers called the four horns (Zech 1:19). Daniel observes them as beasts, in ante-type (Dan 7:3-8; 8:1-19). Please understand that these beast references were initially fulfilled in ante-type only. But they have a great, typical fulfillment which will be still future and different.
In this coming demonstration, the evidence is most persuasive that modern Iraq will be thought to be the resurrected Babylonian empire and be one of the horns. Iran illustrates the Persian empire and will be an example of a second horn. Syria (and/or possibly Greece or Turkey) seems to be the third and the fourth will be Russia, as the Eastern leg of the Roman Empire.
These four horns will seemingly join into an alliance with Communist China, Japan, Latin America and other third world countries in Asia and Africa to militarily crush the House of Yisrael nations and subsequently commence an invasion of the Israeli state (to be later described in the context of an ante-type of fulfillment for Ezekiel 38-39).
A fragment from the Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q554, Col 3) appears to describe this conflict (“The Dead Sea Scrolls, A New Translation,” p. 184). It reflects that in the age end, the kingdom of Persia shall rise up with others--including people from Edom, Moab and Ammon “of the whole land of Babylon” to do evil to the descendants of Yisrael.
Recently, the Jul 2001 “Internet Vortex” (p. 36) had an article by the previously cited Colonel Stanislav Lunev on “Russian Spying Escalates Worldwide” which indicated that Russian President Putin is trying to restore Russia’s “former glory.” Lunev says that Putin has been building up a coalition of nations--like China, North Korea, Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Cuba and others.
The four horns are truly coming together (while the US reportedly defeated Iraq in the 2003 Bush war, the final chapter in this confrontation is not over. Thus, one must not be lulled to sleep on the premise that Iraq cannot arise from the dust to inflict punishment upon the US in later days).
As noted earlier, there will be at least two primary problems contributing to the military destruction of the House of Yisrael nations. Firstly, these nations have rendered exceptional support and assistance to the Israeli state for 50 years and have made serious enemies in the Muslim nations.
Secondly, the House of Yisrael nations have run up massive foreign debts, all over the world. Someday, when Yisrael’s currencies are declared worthless and various foreign powers are left holding the bag, they will be angry and will proceed to launch a strike against their House of Yisrael enemies. These reasons will both be elaborated upon in some detail in remarks hereafter.
Possible Scenario of the First Years of Trouble
Putting this all together, it is plausible to do some “prophetic interpretation” --plus a little logic and common sense and arrive at some semblance of how the first couple of years of trouble will probably unfold for the House of Yisrael nations and especially prophetic “Yisrael,” which sometimes is the House of Yosef made up of Ephraim and Manasseh (Gen 48:16).
However, per Hosea and much of the Tanakh, Ephraim appears to primarily represent Yisrael. Since prophetic Yisrael is first Ephraim and second Yosef collectively, most of the trouble and particularly the early trouble comes on them.
It is only later that the other House of Yisrael nations get sucked into the fray. In offering this scenario, this writer is no prophet, but only a limited person attempting to interpret the words of the prophets.
In any discussion on Yisrael in the age end, the year 2000 appears to be a catalyst year, because it sets the stage for the start of Yakov’s Trouble, probably three to ten years later, as noted elsewhere herein. A later chapter will outline events on Bul 15 and Teveth 10 in 2000, which suggest the first semblance of Yakov’s Trouble.
Although trouble for Ephraim America did commence slowly in 2000 and continued in 2001, the evidence is that it will accelerate in later years with enormous stock market and monetary problems. The ultimate seven years of Yakov’s Trouble may run from Yechezkel’s 30th-32d years and conclude when Yisrael returns to the land (in Yechezkel’s 37th-39th years, as noted earlier).
It may be that the trouble in Yechezkel’s 30th year marks off the return of Yisrael’s election (and maybe a few or some part of fleshly Yisrael--like perhaps physical Israelites, who are members of the immediate family of the election) to Jerusalem in the age end (around Bul 15-20, by Yechezkel’s 37th year), while the bulk of physical, fleshly Yisrael will essentially return in Yechezkel’s 38th and possibly 39th years.
So Yakov’s Trouble may start in 2003-2008 and surge thereafter. It ends first for the election (and possibly, some few fleshly Israelites at that time) in the fall of Yechezkel’s 37th year and next for the bulk of fleshly Yisrael, possibly by Yechezkel’s 38th-39th years. As noted in a previous chapter, there are some reasons which might allow Yechezkel’s 30th year to be as early as 2003-2008.
The Amalekites, Revisited
Carrying this one step further, is it plausible that as a prelude to the coming conquest and destruction of Yisrael, the controlling Amalekites (previously discussed) will cause a slaughter of many of their opponents? In this context, one could easily suppose that such an act would involve a great persecution, arrest and murder of “religious” Israelites, in opposition to the ruling Amalek-Edomites.
Could this Amalek-Edomite oppression and persecution against religious Israelites be an assault upon the contemporary militia, patriot and Christian Identity movements in the earlier mentioned persecution on the right wing? Right now, these possibilities need to be considered in the context of the modern fall of the House of Yisrael nations.
Perhaps the first semblance of this Amalekite assault upon the Christian Identity movement and other elements of the Christian right wing was planned for late 1999 and early 2000, as a part of the Y2K phenomenon that was so extensively discussed in the media and which was to start at midnight on Dec 31, 1999--Jan 1, 2000.
Y2K, Revisited
The Y2K question arose across the world because many computers function with a recognition of the last two digits to define a year. Some analysts believed that computers would confuse the 00 between 1900 and 2000, unless they were properly reprogrammed.
The impact could have had a serious adverse impact upon infrastructure, such as electric power systems and so forth. Estimates of computer failures ranged from 10% to 50% with 30% being the most common figure (Apr 1998 “Personal Update,” p. 14). All the hype and fear prompted both government and private industry to spend billions of dollars to reprogram computers and take other precautionary steps.
One of the other factors at work to further heighten the tension over Y2K was the reality of some on-going extraordinary sunspot activity in January 2000, which was to continue on into 2001-2002 for some months (Jul 1999 “Prophetic Observer,” p. 2).
Sunspot activity alone could cause a crisis in communications, weather and other activities on earth. Satellites were vulnerable and continued to be vulnerable into 2002 (in fact, some did fail on Jan 1, 2000). On March 13, 1989, sunspot activity trashed a large public transformer unit in Canada. So electric power can be affected.
The Bunkers
There was another fallout of the Y2K event which seems to have had some real relevance prophetically. Supposedly, in preparation for Y2K, the White House, many state government offices, various military (to include the National Guard) and public safety command centers were prepared with underground shelters and bunkers to house certain public officials on December 31, 1999, and later as needed.
The situation at the White House was that in July 1999, Clinton had a special, command and control center, underground bunker built at the White House in preparation for Y2K. There is also a “Dark Winter” command bunker at Andrews Air Force Base. It is unclear to what extent the Clintons personally used these facilitates for Y2K. But as a minimum, they were manned and staffed by aides and workers.
Canadian officials also used a bunker as a “command center” (Dec 1999 “Internet Vortex,” p. 13). However, what is important is the fact that many leaders in America and Canada did go into these underground facilities for Y2K on Dec 31, 1999 (and will assuredly use them in the future as well).
There is an interesting prophecy at Revelation 6:15-16 about national leaders hiding out in so-called caves, dens and rocks of the earth in order to avoid the wrath of YHWH.
Of course, this prophecy has a future fulfillment (beyond Y2K). Probably, it will be accomplished during the coming Russian-Chinese nuclear attack on Yisrael when national leaders and the elite hide out in underground facilities in order to avoid nuclear fall out.
Subsequent chapters will assess the enormous propensity for duality in prophetic fulfillments. There can be one or more ante-types before the prophesied type actually occurs. This hide out by US national leaders over Y2K could very well have been an ante-typical fulfillment of Revelation 6:15-16.
Project Megiddo, Revisited
As late as October 20, 1999, the FBI released a report to supposedly warn state and local police to be alert for possible terrorist attacks at the turn of the millennium (Dec 1999 “Endtime News,” p. 1). The report, called “Project Megiddo, said that “Religious extremists” and others fearful of “Armageddon” or a “New World Order” may use the millennial change as a pretext for unleashing a wave of violence.
The report ostensibly warned the nation that militias, so-called “hate groups” and Christian religious sects might pose a “danger to the public,” in the context of the Y2K problem that would surface around January 1, 2000. Former FBI Director Louis Freeh, himself (another likely Amalekite), and other officials touted the “Project Megiddo report (cited earlier) as being prophetic of what would happen during Y2K.
While the focus of the so-called FBI study was upon the Y2K event of December 31, 1999, the report was drafted in a way that the prophesied trouble from the Christian right could come anytime thereafter.
Naturally, the controlled media played up the report and said that law enforcement people across the nation were warned to make special efforts to monitor these so-called, right wing radicals and extremists.
The Source
The “Spotlight” paper of November 15, 1999 (p. 1, 3), had a story by Michael Collins Piper on “Private Espionage Group Feeds FBI Apocalypse Report.” The backdrop on this story was an analysis of the FBI report on “Project Megiddo,” which supposedly was the work of studious, investigative, federal agents.
Well, all of this may sound good to the gullible public. But Piper began an inquiry into the mechanics of the report and found that it contained data from other reports and writings of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and was presented in a way which suggested that the ADL and SPLC actually wrote the report instead of the FBI.
Therefore, the conclusion might have been that in anticipation of gross problems around Dec 31, 1999, and early 2000, the Amalekite controlled ADL and SPLC worked up the report to expose how the Christian right (led by the Christian Identity motion) would commence acts of terrorism in the US, in conjunction with Y2K, to bring about apocalyptic conditions in the US to precede the return of Gee-Zeus.
Supposedly, the ADL and SPLC turned this report over to the FBI, which released it in 1999 as a federal report. Of course, the objective was to build up hate and animosity toward the Christian right and especially the Christian Identity movement. But there is still more to it than what first meets the eye.
In the Sep-Dec 1999 “Jubilee” (p. 1, 8-14), Paul Hall, in a story on “FBI Declares WAR on Christians,” also made an analysis of the Project Megiddo report and likewise found it to seemingly be a product of the ADL and SPLC; plus evidently, a pagan-Witchcraft source.
Hall notes that besides quoting the ADL and SPLC, there is also one quote and a reference to a website called “Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance” which has four names listed--one Wiccan (B. A. Robinson), two Unitarian Universalists (one an atheist and the other an agnostic) and an unaffiliated liberal. The witch Robinson seems to be the primary writer. The gist of this website is so-called religious tolerance.
The “Anti-Demonization League”
A follow-up report released by the “Scriptures for America” people and the Anti-Demonization League on an “Analysis of the F.B.I.’s ‘Project Megiddo’” suggested that not only did hate groups, like the ADL and SPLC, prepare the Project Megiddo report; but that they have or will coordinate with the federal government to instigate some type of terrorist action in the future which can be blamed on the Christian right wing.
As commented upon in previous remarks herein, some of the Amalekites are notorious about creating an incident which can be blamed on their supposed enemies in the right wing--like the Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan, the Christian Identity movement and the militias.
Amalekites like to set fires at Jewish synagogues or write dirty words on synagogue walls and then work in league with federal agents and the controlled media to blame someone on the right. This is a common Amalekite trick, as was outlined in former chapters herein. They are experts at deception and wickedness.
Hate groups, like the ADL and SPLC (which seem to be filled with Amalekites), are so vile and evil that it seems very possible that they would bomb and kill some Americans and then stage the event so that the militia, patriot and Christian Identity groups would be blamed (thus, something similar could be behind the September 11, 2001, attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center; so that fundamentalist Muslims could be blamed).
To head this course off, some Christian Identity people prepared the “Anti-Demonization League” report which was given to the media and law enforcement personnel. This ADL, SPLC and FBI work of harassing, accusing and intimidating the Christian right, in the sense of government oppression, was addressed in previous chapters herein. But again, it must be recognized.
As things turned out, Y2K largely fizzled out. The nation of Gambia had some massive power outages, one communications satellite and the entire US intelligence satellite system failed, some airline schedules were messed up on the East coast and there were several other computer glitches (especially in small businesses and in some banking operations). But nothing happened, as envisioned by the Christian right wing.
Importantly, the FBI and its Amalekite cohorts had no opportunity in early January 2000 to carry through with their plans for “Operation Megiddo.” Thus, the Amalekite goal for the wholesale arrests of Christian Identity and militia people on the right was put on hold--temporarily. This doesn’t mean that this effort is over. Clearly, it was only temporarily suspended. Later, in Yechezkel’s 30th-33d years, it will surely resurface.
More Christian Identity Oppression
The Internet is proving to be an extraordinary source of information and communications here in the early 21st century. Previous chapters have mentioned the move by the Amalekites and other leftists to exercise control over the Internet. This is happening as the Amalekites are able to define some of the beliefs/practices of right wingers as being evil in some fashion.
For example, in December 1999 and January 2000, an Internet service company called Mayberry USA (cited earlier herein) began an extensive advertising campaign to solicit customers to their Internet service which is to filter out and delete all Internet web sites that are supposedly pornographic and hate sites. Mayberry’s ads focused upon the evils of pedophiles, terrorists, Nazis, pornographers and hate groups.
In mentioning the hate definition, it is clear that the politically correct position will be used here to attack, demean and censor all groups which society calls racists, White supremacists and similar groups allegedly opposed to Blacks, Jews, homosexuals and modern feminists. For sure, Christian Identity Churches, Ku Klux Klan units and like groups will be screened out by Mayberry and other Internet services.
The February 2000 Yahoo Case
Another one of the companies providing Internet services is called Yahoo. It would appear that Yahoo actually provides a number of different Internet services--search services, web sites with news and chat room features, and so forth.
Apparently, in February 2000, the ADL discovered that persons involved with the Ku Klux Klan (who were probably federal agents since Big Brother has completely infiltrated the Klan, so much so, that it is now a federal government operation), the National Association for the Advancement of White People and the Church of the Creator actually exchanged messages or had chats, using the Yahoo Internet services.
The ADL went on the attack immediately because these right wingers are simply not going to be allowed any free speech in America. The ADL and the other Amalekite Jew hate groups will pull out all the stops and go after these right wingers with a vengeance and a goal of destroying them forever.
The controlled national media was ablaze with press reports on Feb 26, 2000, that Yahoo had actually allowed these right wing “racists” to use its services. Something had to be done. Per the ADL, Yahoo would have to be closed down or new legislation would have to be passed to censure anyone who would not march to the Amalekite tune of spreading Balaam’s race ideas around.
Naturally, the power of the ADL prevailed and Yahoo backed off and agreed to cancel the various groups opposed by the ADL (Mar 20, 2000, “Spotlight,” p. 2).
The national director of the ADL, Abraham H. “Foxman” (cited earlier and a likely Amalekite, who apparently thinks like a fox) welcomed Yahoo’s decision. Abe went on to say that the ADL will work with other Internet providers to monitor “hate and deny extremists a platform at web sites where user policies strictly forbid offensive material.”
Since the ADL and other Amalekite Jew hate organizations have started using the words “obscene” and “obscenity” in reference to their enemies (as outlined in a former chapter), they have found a new method of censoring the Internet. Many Christians oppose obscenity. So, when the ADL uses that word for its enemies, it helps to silence those enemies.
A June 12, 2000, story on “Private Groups, Not Government, Lead War on Freedom of Speech” in “Spotlight” (p. 21) noted this new ADL tactic. By defining ADL enemies as being obscene, many of the current Internet blocking services will block out those efforts. Per “Spotlight,” one Israeli computer company (Elron Industries) has donated Internet blocking software to American schools (to block out Amalekite enemies).
Making Criminals Out of Right Wing Christians
But one more tragedy from this motion is that Big Brother in Washington will pick upon the same theme. It is important to note that right wing Christians are being and will be cast in the same light as pornographers, pedophiles, terrorists and common criminals (actually, these right wing Christians and especially the Christian Identity people are even more hated by society than pornographers and common criminals).
Surely, at some point in time, either Congress will legislate or the president will sign an Executive Order cracking down on the so-called right wing hate groups on the Internet. It is a certainty that government will declare them illegal. As a prelude to government action, it is clear that any number of private companies will take action right now to try to eliminate Christian Identity and similar web sites on the Internet.
More Amalekite Deceit
The latest Amalekite trick is to claim that right wing groups are in the drug business (evidently, in competition with the Amalekite Jew bankers/masters who run the US drug business). Presumably, these charges would excite and get the gullible American Christians mad at the so-called right wingers/White supremacists.
This move was documented in a statement from the Amalekite directed Southern Poverty Law Center which said: “white supremacists are making a bid to control methamphetamine distribution” (Jan 4, 2002, “Idaho Observer,” p. 6).
The editor of the “Idaho Observer” noted that in his 35 years of experience in investigating the inner workings of areas in the Northwest, he has found that the large scale drug business is a function of the regions’ elected power structure.
The writer of this study at hand acknowledges that the governing politicians allow the drug business to proceed--primarily, because of receiving pay offs from the Amalekite Jew bankers/masters and gang bosses (who are in charge of the drug trade and who run the organized crime world). Anyway, the Amalekite charges could motivate the government to further crack down on the Christian right.
A July 2001 Follow-Up
As a more recent follow-up on this theme, the writer of this study at hand had a interesting thing happen which deserves mention. In the first week of June 2001, this writer mailed a letter to some 25 leading Christian Identity preachers and leaders on the question of a new teaching being promoted by Identity preacher Pete Peters, as discussed previously herein.
One of the addresses was Newman Brittain (now deceased), who had been formerly involved in Richard Butler’s Aryan Nations operation (also discussed earlier herein). Butler had become entangled a few years ago with an Indian woman who claimed that she was assaulted by his compound guards as she and her son drove by the compound and allegedly shot some fire crackers to cause some trouble for Butler.
Criminal charges were brought against some Aryan Nations guards and the woman filed a civil suit against Butler (as is likewise described heretofore). Possibly, this action or something else prompted Butler to announce that he was retiring (he is elderly in his 80s) and would turn the Aryan Nations mantle over to Newman Brittain of Escondido, California (later, Butler seems to have reversed this decision).
Accordingly, Brittain made an announcement in the Mar-Apr 2000 “Jubilee” (p. 15) of his assumption of the title of “Pastor” of the Church of Jesus Christ Christian (Butler’s church name). In the Escondido area, Brittain held himself out as the leader of the Aryan Nations.
Therefore, in mailing out data addressing this latest Peters’ effort on altering the Sabbath days and festivals, this writer sent a copy of the letter to Brittain in Escondido during the first week of June 2001 by first class mail (along with the 24 others mailed). Time passed and it was assumed by me that the Brittain letter was satisfactorily delivered by the post office.
Something Happened
Then, on Jul 16, 2001, my first class letter to Brittain was returned by the post office (five and one-half weeks later, which would seem to be most unusual with this time delay). An examination of the envelope disclosed several interesting things. There were a couple of postal marks on the front of the envelope besides the stamp cancellation.
There was a mark reading “return to sender attempted...” Another mark said “Moved--Left no Address from Escondido, CA 92025” (since the letter had a correct readable return address, it was ultimately returned to me).
So curiosity overtook my mind and an examination of the envelope allowed that it may have been opened (there was a tear on it--which could have suggested a surreptitious opening). Anyway, what happened to this first class letter for well over five weeks still seemed curious to me.
Question--did the Escondido PO forward it to another person or place which did open it? Could the letter have been routed to a federal agency for an examination to cause the five weeks plus delay? Was the letter opened, checked and resealed as professionally as possible (surely, federal agents have ways of opening and resealing envelops which are almost undetectable).
Preceding chapters have outlined the modern methods of federal spying operations to completely monitor all communications to and from certain selected groups.
This new spying operation seems to involve post office participation--to perhaps include intercepting and spying upon first class mail and spying upon postal customers as they come into the post office to transact business. Truly, the contemporary Christian Identity motion is now under enormous government oppression (as was pointed out earlier).
Others Join in With the Amalekites
Not only have government agents and provocateurs at all levels and in various Amalekite Jew hate groups all worked in collusion against the Christian Identity movement, but even some of the unorganized militia groups are also taking a stand of hate against their right wing brethren in the Christian Identity motion.
The “Spotlight” paper of Sep 6, 1999 (p. 24), quoted the “London Sunday Times” with a report that the Michigan Militia has declared war on the Christian Identity, skinhead and other right wing racialist groups. A leader in the Michigan Militia, named Lynn VanHuizen, suggests that “we” (meaning the militia) will be forced to take them out and kill them if necessary.
The same “Spotlight” story says that the FBI has begun to focus on the Christian Identity groups as being greater threats than the anti-government militias. VanHuizen went on to say that his group had no qualms in working with the government against the Christian Identity people.
For sure, the Christian Identity movement will soon have almost everyone in America against it. It won’t be long before its tribulation starts in earnest.
While such a coming tribulation, trouble and test on the right wing and Christian Identity people will seem horrible, some good can come from it. In the first place, it is possible that many of the very elect to constitute the age ending Philadelphia will come out of this motion. If this is true, the people undergoing this trial will ultimately benefit from it as their personal lives are forcibly cleaned up (with YHWH’s approval).
It is highly likely that the Christian Identity preachers and leaders will be arrested and murdered by the state. With their removal, the honest people under them can break free of the shackles of lies and false teachings that they have been living under. As they break free, some of them (of the very elect category) will assuredly turn to YHWH YESHUA and truth.
It is such a tragedy that Christian Israelite people (certainly ignorant and Scripturally shallow persons) can become entrapped with almost any preacher who has some charisma and ability to sincerely lie and deceive. This is manifestly true with the Christian Identity movement.
Wicked Christian Preachers
Most or all of the preachers and leaders of the Christian right-wing are extremely evil men who actively preach and teach against the Torah and truth. The reality of the evils of Christian preachers and their use of charisma and charm to fool the Christian suckers was addressed in preceding chapters herein. Suffice to say, it is the real world in our time.
To add to the woe of people sucked into following these charlatans, it must be noted that the scholarship and informational levels of many of the Christian Identity leaders and big shots are on very questionable levels. This reality is proven conclusively when some of these frauds began pushing and advocating the Greek Septuagint as authoritative for Christian Identity people (as pointed out in prior chapters).
How can anyone with brains above the moron level choose to follow a translation of a writing in lieu of the actual, inspired work in its original language. Yet, many of the Scripturally shallow Christian Identity bosses (like the earlier cited Peters and Richard) are teaching this precise approach. When Big Brother moves against these charlatans, some of their dumb sheep followers may at last break free to turn to truth.
Deceiving the Dumb Sheep
As these evil Christian Identity leaders have turned away from the Hebrew OT to a corrupt and very deficient Greek translation, their dumb sheep followers are also being turned away from the valid source of truth to try to find understanding in very bad Greek writings.
What a tragedy it has been that these evil Identity leaders have been turning their followers away from the only source of truth which there is on planet earth. Manifestly, when tribulation and trouble strikes these Christian Identity people (especially their leaders), it will be very justified because of their evil, confusion and lack of knowledge (from turning away from truth and the Hebrew OT source of truth).
In any case, Yechezkel’s 30th year might possibly see the work of at least two or four prophets/witnesses--likely the types of Yechezkel and Yirmeyahu (either in or working with the House of Yisrael), who were the two primary prophets at the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians in c554 BCE, and perhaps some aspects of the work of the final two witnesses.
The work of these possible two pairs of men will be assessed in some detail in later chapters. While the first two prophets (if they arrive on the scene) may have a ministry of only three years or so, th
