since this does not specify exactly where they will prosper and become numerous.

3. “Yahweh your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring, so that you

will love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live” (v.

6). God will do this for an indeterminate number of Jews and their descendants. Yet notice

the singular pronouns and nouns here. These singulars suggest that God will do this for each

individual among many Jews. God Himself will personally cause each of many Jews to love

Him with all of the spirit in each one’s “heart,” even with both the mind of the spirit and the

mind of the flesh in the chamber of each one’s “soul.” God also provides a reason for doing

this. He will sanctify the whole inner person of each one, set aside each for His own

purposes, so that each “may live.” And this life presumably refers to the “abundant life” of

loving and being loved, which our God and Messiah Jesus spoke about.

4. “Yahweh your God will put all these curses on your foes and enemies who persecuted you”

(v. 7). When we harmonize this with all the other biblical prophecies, we see that this will

occur after the sixth seal’s revival, during the era of the seventh seal, just before our Messiah

Jesus returns, then last until the day of His return. Of course, the persecution of those who

truly bear God’s name, both the elect Jews and the elect Gentiles, increased greatly during

the era of the fifth seal, in this current era. Then the circumcision of the heart or sealing of the

elect, including 144,000 Jews, will occur during the next era of the sixth seal. After all this,

God’s wrath will pour out upon the wicked of the earth, especially against the non-elect of

Satan’s fourth Roman kingdom, who are the principal persecutors warring against Israel. So

those plagues of God’s wrath will be the “curses” that Moses is describing here, against the

“foes and enemies” of Israel. Thus, they will be cursed after Israel possesses their land again.

5. “And you shall again obey the voice of Yahweh and keep all His commandments that I

command you today. Yahweh your God will make you abundantly prosperous in all the work

of your hand … when you obey the voice of Yahweh your God … when you turn to Yahweh

your God with all your heart and with all your soul” (vv. 8-10). This will be the final state of

Israel after God curses and crushes their “foes and enemies.” And this will be when God will

gather literally all the Jews into their land, as Moses summarized in the first four verses. For

this is when they will recall all that Moses said to them about God’s blessings and curses,

while most Jews stand “among all the nations where Yahweh [their] God has driven” them.

This is when literally all Jews will “return to Yahweh” their God, when all of the Jews alive

on the day that Jesus returns, and all of their future children, will “obey His voice in all that”

God commanded in His Law through Moses. This will be the real New Covenant salvation

for literally all surviving Jews on earth, since this true salvation fulfills God Law through the

personal teaching and training of our spirits by God’s utterly holy Spirit. And it is this saving

work of God inside literally all the Jews which will cause all to guard His laws and ways

with all their spirits in all their hearts, and with the whole of their souls. This final step is

when God will do all that Moses summarized in the first four verses, when God will “gather”

literally all of Israel’s “outcasts” from “the uttermost parts of heaven,” from wherever the

winds of the sky might blow, and bring them all back into their restored promised land.

Note how Moses indicated the persecution of the Jewish people in the past tense (v.7, perfect tense form of “persecuted”). In this prophecy about the distant future, which was given even before Israel first entered their promised land, the past tense indicated that God would curse their “foes and enemies” after they persecuted Israel. Yet it also indicates that Moses is outlining a progressive sequence of events here. This and other clues in the text suggest the five steps listed above, and in that order. So the Jewish possession of their land and the circumcision of the heart of many Jews would at least begin before God cursed Israel’s “foes and enemies.” And this is exactly the same order that we find in the Revelation and other biblical prophecies. Israel became a nation in 1948, during the era of the fifth seal. Then some of the Jews, including the 144,000 virgin males, would be “sealed” by God, which is a circumcision of the heart, during the sixth seal’s era. And it was after that, during the seventh seal’s era, that all “foes and enemies” of God and Israel are “cursed” to utter destruction. Finally, after the Messiah’s return, literally all Jews will be saved and brought back to their homeland of Israel, when they and the whole world will live in peace, through God just ways.

And Moses, by using that perfect tense (or aspect), mostly implied that Israel’s persecution by their “foes and enemies who persecuted” them, shall definitely occur. It did not indicate a definite end to those persecutions when God began to curse those “foes and enemies.” Then from other prophecies, we know that their persecutions by their enemies were to continue until their Messiah came and completely destroyed those enemies. So Israel was to endure persecutions throughout their Roman exile, right up to the day Jesus returned, as well as after at least some had been “circumcised” of heart, and after at least some Jews were already living in the promised land which they “possessed.”

Moses did not imply that persecutions would stop after the Jews began to return to their land and possessed it as their own nation. In fact, other prophecies told us that the wars against Israel in the end times would be horrifying and cause huge numbers of deaths both in Israel and among their enemies. And this is what we have been seeing since Israel became a nation, worse worse to come. In fact, not only did the Jews suffer persecutions during their long exile, but the whole world has also suffered all the plagues of the first five seals up to this day, and will suffer far more during the eras of the sixth and seventh seals. All this was predestined. As for right now, we can already see how God has been cursing the “foes and enemies” of Israel, in a way that foreshadows their future curses from God. For God cursed their enemies in a way which allowed them to first establish their nation, then maintain that nation, although those “foes and enemies” had superior numbers and weapons. So God will curse their future enemies in the same ways, especially the beast’s armies.

From the beginning, God has often cast the “foes and enemies” of Israel into the darkness of their own lies and delusions, transforming those persecutors into death cults which murder even their own people through insane hatred and irrational thinking, all worked inside them by their lord Satan. We have seen some enemies of Israel use their own civilians, including women and children, to “shield” their soldiers, in vain attempts to prevent Israelis from firing at them. Then, when this fails, they use those civilian casualties to incite more slander against the Israeli soldiers who simply returned fire against their soldiers. We have also seen the paranoia of Israel’s enemies make them torture and murder one another. And the delusions of Israel’s enemies have even caused their armies to war

Page 395

against one another, or terrorize one another, in ways which have resulted in literally millions of casualties among them. Ever since the Zionist starting returning to their land at the end of the 19th century, but especially in the last few decades, Israel’s enemies have indeed been cursed by God.

So we need to avoid falling under that curse from God, and gain the blessings that God promised. And receiving God’s true blessings are not a simple matter of ceasing antisemitism, but involve a spirit’s innate desire to build a genuine loving relationship with the real God. An elect spirit must pray for God to freely grant blessings, which He will do for both the Jews and Gentiles. God can cause us to “hear” (Hebrew = shama, translated as “obey” in the ESV) all that Moses commanded in the Torah. And the Law that Moses gave to Israel, as well as all that the prophets, Jesus and apostles explained about that Law, is the same law God wrote in all His creations. In our Messiah’s salvation by His Holy Spirit, we begin to hear all God’s Law “with all the heart and with all the soul,” and learn to love our God “with all the heart and with all the soul.” Jesus is Yahweh God, able to do the work of teaching and training our spirits to hear, heed and love Him. Of course, since the apostolic church became invisible, fake humanistic churches, synagogues and governments have always tried to ensure that all the elect remain lost, straying, loveless and uncircumcised of heart, so wealthy, selfish psychopaths can rule over them in steep hierarchies. At most, those humanists will only provide “democracies” through rigged elections resembling those of ancient Rome. But God has begun to soften our hearts as we approach the end times. So we will soon see wise, loving churches, synagogues and governments, filled with souls found by God, with elect hearts that God Himself has circumcised. And these will choose only just, honest, loving servants for their people, only those God chose for them, in obedience to God’s Law. Soon we will elect men like Moses, Samuel and David, instead of men like Hitler, Stalin and Trump, once God wakes us in the sixth seal’s revival.

God must first grant elect spirits the ability to “hear with comprehension” (Hebrew = shama), so they can understand “the voice of Yahweh,” who is a Spirit and speaks to their spirits. Then this gift of awakening elect spirits will cause them to “guard [Hebrew = shamar] all His commandments.” Both are the effects of God’s circumcision of our hearts. And no human being can cause God to circumcise any heart, not even the most magic of human gods. Only after God Himself personally circumcises or saves an elect soul can that one’s spirit hear Him with understanding and begin to guard the truths received from Him, even with all one’s heart and soul. And all this is exactly what God promised in His New Covenant salvation through the Messiah, who is Jesus. Jesus came to fulfill God’s central promise of the New Covenant salvation, which is: “I will put My Law within them, and I will write it on their hearts” (Jer. 31:33, ESV). Here God promised to personally etch the full understanding of His laws and ways upon each elect heart, in the mind of each elect spirit, because we had no power to do this for ourselves. Then Jesus came and declared: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them” (Mat. 5:17, ESV). Our God Jesus came to save Jews and Gentiles in His church of Israel. Therefore, He came to “fulfill” God’s Law inside them and through their interactions with the world. This is our New Covenant salvation.

But the elect have chosen the deluded, psychopathic idiots whom Satan has chosen for them, to rule over them in their churches, synagogues and governments. And, because those demonic idiots use the names of “God” in their speeches, the elect somehow think those idiots must be thrice holy, then worship them as their chief gods, as rulers over even the Creator God. Then those idiots tell the elect to give them most of their money, but promise to give a tithe of that invention of Satan to the “works of God.” But those ‘works of God” are merely mindless repetitions of words in required physical prayers, physical rituals and physical religious buildings or trinkets, all designed to keep the elect distracted from the real God’s real salvation for their eternal spirits. Then their demonic religious and

 

Page 396

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

secular leaders tell the elect to go out to terrorize, murder and fight wars, in order to guard their humanistic systems which keep them captive. So the elect do all this, thinking they will earn the favor of God and some real estate for themselves in heaven. Thus, the elect spend their whole lives on earth fleeing from the real God, with spirits that neither hear nor understand anything spoken by the voice of God’s Holy Spirit, while they guard against God’s truth and against His true salvation.

The comprehending of God’s inner voice is the personal work of God Himself in the hearts and souls of His elect children. And it is the result of His circumcision of the heart. How will anyone “obey the voice of the Lord,” with spirits that “hear His voice with comprehension,” by practicing physical rituals or physically repeating form prayers in a mindless way? Since Yahweh is a Spirit who speaks to our spirits, how can physical actions benefit our spirits? Rather, it is the other ways around. If our spirits hear the Spirit of God with understanding, and guard those truths from Him, then the effects resulting from that spiritual education will cause our physical works, and we will do those works through wise, informed love from our spirits. Our first and foremost duty is to seek God and His kingdom on earth, then the spiritual and physical blessings of the God will follow after we find Him.

If God’s elect listen to God only with the minds of their flesh, and do not hear Him with the ears of their spirits, how can they obey or please Him? First God must awaken our spirits. Then Jesus’ Holy Spirit can directly teach our spirits in our hearts, can pour His concepts into our spirits. His Spirit grants the spiritual knowledge and spiritual power to please and obey God spontaneously, straight from our spirits, out through our flesh. I know I repeat this often, but we need to realize that the New Covenant salvation from our Messiah Jesus is an effective work of God Himself upon our individual spirits, causing each spirit to hear teachings from God’s Spirit with understanding, and express them.

The elect need to allow their spirits to see and hear the compulsions of God to embrace truths and reject lies, to love what is truly beautiful in holiness and be repulsed by what is truly ugly in its evil. They need their spirits to be personally taught and trained by God Himself, so they might love Him and His just and wise ways, which are all described by the principles found in the Mosaic Law. And both the Jews and Christians should know that all God’s laws are summed by the two commands, “love God” and “love your neighbor” (i.e., a “neighbor” is anyone God brings into your life). Then a Jew and a Christian should also know that this kind of love can only come from one’s spirit, never through the mind and body of flesh, although the spirit can express its love through the flesh. Also, God must first teach our infantile spirits to recognize and build up just, pure, God-like love in our spirits before we can express that kind of love. And only when we do learn about that kind of love can we ever rightly interpret and apply God’s Law. For God’s Law is entirely spiritual, expressed through our spirits according the teachings and commands of God’s Holy Spirit, never through the minds of our flesh alone. Yes, our flesh reads the written words for us, but our spirits interpret and apply those words through our flesh, and our minds of flesh can never complete this process alone.

It is by completely unmerited and unearned grace alone that our Lord grants His salvation of writing His Law upon the hearts and in the spirits of His elect. And God only chooses to save His elect, those He created with an inherent propensity to love in the same way He loves. Thus, only elect spirits can learn enough truth directly from God’s Spirit to repent into that truth (II Tim. 2:25), with a comprehending realization of that truth. All true repentance is through the inner conscience of the human spirit, and by God’s conviction. Then every inner conscience is formed in the mind of an elect spirit through the teachings and admonishments from God's Spirit too. So all comes from God.

Although most Jewish and Gentile elect souls today do not consciously worship God, with minds of flesh consciously submitting to the minds of their spirits seated at the feet of His Holy Spirit, those

 

Page 397

Last Days Timeline

 

elect are being saved. For Jesus is actually teaching their elect spirits daily, pouring His concepts into the minds of their spirits. Each day they learn to hate the evils of lies and sins more, as well as love truths and righteousness more. So, as those elect spirits believe in more of God’s words each day, in the precepts and teachings that originate directly from God’s Holy Spirit, they also gain more saving faith the Author of those words, in God Himself, each day. Thus, all the elect on this earth are being saved through the New Covenant salvation of God, through their growing faith in Him. However, there are also many who are being continuously distracted from this true salvation by fake churches.

So now let the awakening elect stop being distracted by those fake churches too. We do not judge whether or not God is saving a soul by outward appearances, by whether one submitted to a magic holy man who performed physical sacraments for them, or by a magic “Sinner’s Prayer” repeated at a rally. Rather, we judge rightly, according the actual good fruits produced by that one, according to the real truths and just love expressed by the very spirit of that person. If we see anyone’s spirit being taught and trained by God’s Holy Spirit, then that one is an elect brother or sister, whether or not that one consciously knows it or not. And we do not care what religion that one might cling to.

This also applies to the Jews who cling to the Old Covenant relationship with God. Right now, many falsely judge the Jews through antisemitic lies and half-truths uttered by fake humanistic churches, news outlets and governments. But we must believe God’s Word and the physical realities that God causes upon the earth, not those liars. And we did see God Himself establish the Jewish nation of Israel according to His Word, even according to some prophecies God gave us 3,500 years ago. Yes, Israel has also sinned in many ways, but not nearly as much as their enemies. Furthermore, the sins of the elect do not negate the saving works of God for those elect, since our God came to save only sinners, because there are no truly righteous human beings on earth. And we cannot condemn any race or identifiable group based on the sins of some in that group, because God’s salvation is a slow, steady, ongoing work upon individuals, one at a time, not a work upon a whole group. So, when we see both elect and non-elect Jews sent to Israel according to God’s promises in His Word, we simply rejoice in it and try to comprehend all the details revealed about this great event, so we might know what has been prophesied to come next. And what is prophesied next will be the end-time horrors.

Consider how, on the whole, Israel is the most just nation in the Middle East right now, even one of the most just nations in the world, although they are often slandered. Yes, they sin often, and Israel is full of intrigues, machinations and cruelty. Nevertheless, when we look at the actual history and real events of Israel, after we cast out all the lies to leave only the whole truth, we find that Israel is not nearly as evil as the nations full of murdering dictators and terrorists existing all around them. All those other nations have slaughtered, tortured and oppressed their own people a thousand times more than Israel has ever done through any of their wars against them. And the Israeli leaders have never been as intentionally evil as the rulers in those nations. So we are indeed seeing the beginning of an Israel learning to hear and guard God's commandments, although all the elect still have a long way to go in that process of salvation. And with all this, we are also seeing how God is taking delight in prospering the land of Israel once again, as well as protecting them from Satan’s Roman humanists, who will continue to war against Israel until the day that Jesus returns. All this has been prophesied.

Leviticus 26:32-35 (ESV): “And I Myself will devastate the land, so that your enemies who

settle in it shall be appalled at it. And I will scatter you among the nations, and I will

unsheathe the sword after you, and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a

waste. Then the land shall enjoy its Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate, while you are in your

enemies' land; then the land shall rest, and enjoy its Sabbaths. As long as it lies desolate it

shall have rest, the rest that it did not have on your Sabbaths when you were dwelling in it.”

Page 398

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

Here God gives us the reason for His devastation of the land of Israel after the Jews would be cast out of it, during their final Roman captivity. God wanted to make the Gentiles who settled there appalled by that land, so they would not remain in the land and take over the land. And Moses is clearly prophesying about the Roman captivity here. For the utter desolation of the land in Israel did not occur during the Assyrian or the Babylonian captivities, only during their final captivity caused by Israel’s wars with Rome. Then it was primarily during the rule of the Ottoman Empire that the land became utterly desolate, and very few souls lived in that land. Only after the Jews began to return to that land, in the 19th and 20th centuries, did that land become fertile and habitable again, with the help of the British in the 20th century. Then about half a million Muslims entered the land, since Muslim immigration was unrestricted, while Jewish immigration was restricted by the British.

You can also see this same order of events in the other prophecies about the final return of the Jews: (1) Israel is exiled from their land after their Messiah is “cut off” and killed, but long before their Messiah returns to rule Israel and the entire world; (2) God makes the land of Israel desolate, to prevent other nations from taking over their land; (3) God begins a process of returning His Jewish people to their land, mostly apostate Jews who will only repent later, when their Messiah returns, although Israel would begin to prosper and rebuild God’s temple before their Messiah returns; (4) enemies, especially from Satan’s fourth Roman kingdom, will persecute Jews and war against the reestablished nation of Israel until the Messiah returns; (5) the beast rises to power and conquers the Middle East during the first half of his reign, which is when Gentiles “trample” Jerusalem; (6) the beast defiles third temple and beheads the elect during the second half of his reign, then gathers all the humanistic armies of the world against Israel at the end of his reign; (7) Jesus returns, destroys the beast and all Israel’s enemies on that same day; (8) all the Jews on earth repent to Jesus; (9) Jesus gathers the Diaspora into Israel and rules the earth for a millennium; (10) Satan is released, causing multitudes, led by the lands of Gog and Magog, to rebel against Jesus, but Jesus destroys them all; (11) the rapture and final resurrection of the dead occurs, taking all to heaven’s gates for the judgment; (12) God destroys the universe; (13) God judges all who ever lived on earth, both the elect and the non-elect; and (14) after the judgment day ends, all the elect descend into heaven together.

So we must conclude that God never intended to return literally all the Jews to the land of Israel at the same time, in one short period of time, and only after they all repented to Jesus. The only reason some think this is because they have not adequately studied and harmonized the prophecies about the last days in God’s Word. Nor do any biblical prophecies ever even imply that a new Gentile church would replace the old church of Israel which God created through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And this is why those churches who believe this antisemitic Replacement Theology still wait for God to restore Israel into their own possession, instead of waiting for God would restore the land of Israel to the Jews, and refuse to recognize that God has already begun that process of restoring it to the Jews.

Almost all the biblical prophecies about the last days and end times talk about the natural Israel, about the physical descendants of Jacob, and how these Jews will dwell in the land of Israel before the final, glorious advent of the Messiah. For those prophecies frequently refer to the people of Israel returning to the land of their fathers, indicating the ancestors of the Jews with whom God made the Abrahamic and Old Covenants. All the end-time prophecies mention something about the physical descendants of Jacob living in the land of Israel, since their presence there is a critical aspect of those times, and are the defining signs of those times. Only the ignorant, dishonest and deluded could possibly think that when those prophecies mention Israel in the end time, it is talking about a Gentile church which replaced the Jewish church. Clearly, all the doctrines of replacement theology, and the teachings about how all Jews must first become “Christians” before God will legitimately

Last Days Timeline

 

return any of them to their land, are pure antisemitic works of fiction by wicked imaginations. God clearly prophesied about the current process of apostate Jews returning to Israel. And the return of apostate Jews to Israel was meant to be a long process over a period of many years, so Israel could transform their once desolated land into a habitable land again, through God’s help and blessings.

 

Ezekiel’s Fifth Seal Prophecies

Ezekiel 36:22-38 (ESV): “Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord

[Yahweh]: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of

My holy name, which you have profaned among the nations to which you came. And I will

vindicate the holiness of My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, and

which you have profaned among them. And the nations will know that I am the [Yahweh],

declares the Lord [Yahweh], when through you I vindicate My holiness before their eyes.

[Step One:] I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring

you into your own land. [Step Two:] I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean

from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you.

“And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you . And I will remove

the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit

within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes and [to] be careful to obey My rules . You

shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be My people, and I will be

your God. And I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses .

“And I will summon the grain and make it abundant and lay no famine upon you. I will make

the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field abundant, that you may never again suffer the

disgrace of famine among the nations. Then you will remember your evil ways, and your

deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves for your iniquities and your

abominations. It is not for your sake that I will act, declares the Lord [Yahweh]; let that be

known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.

“Thus says the Lord [Yahweh]: On the day that I cleanse you [which actually means that God will

cleanse Israel during a contiguous period of time, from its start to its end, not literally on a specific ‘day’]

from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be

rebuilt. And the land that was desolate shall be tilled, instead of being the desolation that it

was in the sight of all who passed by. And they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has

become like the garden of Eden, and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are now

fortified and inhabited.’

“Then the nations that are left all around you shall know that I am [Yahweh] ; I have rebuilt

the ruined places and replanted that which was desolate. I am [Yahweh]; I have spoken, and

I will do it. Thus says the Lord [Yahweh]: This also I will let the house of Israel ask Me to do

for them: to increase their people like a flock. Like the flock for sacrifices, like the flock at

Jerusalem during her appointed feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of

people. Then they will know that I am [Yahweh] .”

Ezekiel was a contemporary of the prophet Daniel, and saw the last years of Jeremiah’s prophecies, early in the 6th century BC. And here Ezekiel prophesied about God’s final return of His people to their land of Israel, long after the Babylonian captivity, which Israel was experienced during his lifetime. For many centuries after Ezekiel wrote this, Israel continued to have inhabitable cities, farmlands and forests, where many Jews lived, as well as many Gentiles. But this prophesied final

 

Page 400

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

return to their land would occur after it became “desolate” with “ruined cities,” like it was in the 19th century after centuries of destruction by the Ottoman Empire, when the Zionists began to return.

Clearly, the reason God will cause His natural priesthood of Israel to return to their land at a time before the end times, and before He cleansed them from their sins, was not to be because they first cleansed themselves of their own sins. It was not to be because the Jews repented to their Messiah Jesus and became good fake “Christians” submitting to Gentile lords in false Roman churches. Here it emphatically proclaims that God would not return the Jews to their land after they become godly and good, but before they become godly and good, even as they disgraced God’s good name in all the world, while they were still committing their sins. So the return of the Jews to their land was prophesied to begin before that with Moses would describe as God’s “circumcision of their hearts.”

Here we see that first God will return the Jews to their land which has become “desolate,” so they could make the land fruitful and rebuild cities, then God would cleanse them through a realization of their sins and repentance. And the kind of repentance Ezekiel described here was prophesied to partially occur during the sixth seal’s revival, but would not be completed in all of Israel until the day on which their Messiah Jesus returns. Theologians and preachers cannot honestly declare that God’s Word only allows for the return of the Jews to their homeland after they repent to Jesus. Some even call their return to Israel and the forming of their current nation as a “bastard state,” because they have not read the prophecies of Scripture and do not know that God prophesied all that has actually occurred in our times, during this current era of the fifth seal’s persecutions of God’s elect.

Since some are so vain, careless, dishonest and antisemitic that they believe those false doctrines about the Jews not being able to return and form their own nation, and think Jews must bow to the human gods of their own false churches, they fail to recognize this great this sign from God. This current return of the Jews is the true, genuine, prophesied return which was prophesied to occur not too long before the sixth seal’s revival and before the return of Jesus. Those who know the actual timeline of the last days and end times, as revealed in the prophecies, realize that an apostate Israel had to return and even had to become a sovereign nation before their cleansing during the sixth seal’s revival and during the return of Jesus. These two periods of cleansing of the Jewish people, inside and outside of Israel, will occur within a few generations, but had to occur after they rebuilt many of their previously ruined cities and after they made the desolate lands into a fertile “garden.”

Yet many false churches are not acknowledging or harmonizing what the Word of God actually says about the return of the Jews. God Himself declared that He Himself will personally cause the Jews to return while they are still sinners, while they are still profaning His name among the nations, then vindicate His own name by the works He Himself does in those Jewish sinners. This will cause the nations around Israel to acknowledge that God is God, and the human beings are not the redeeming gods of themselves. God said He do this by first taking the scattered Diaspora “from the nations,” and gathering them into their “own land,” into the land which he promised the descendants of Jacob.

So the return of humanistic secular and theistic Jews to Israel, in the way we have been seeing since the 19th century, is indeed the real, genuine, prophesied return which God promised since the days of Moses. This is the God-like return that God’s hands have been granting to us as well, that is through His unearned and unmerited grace. God Himself declares all this through His servant, Ezekiel. But this return was obviously to be a gradual process, one which shall see the completion of their inner cleansing until after Jesus returns. For the Jews will need to restore much desolate land and rebuild many towns and cities first, as well as fight many wars and finally begin to repent in godly sorrow.

And how is God going to vindicate His own holy name? He Himself said He would prove His holy love and goodness by returning His sinful people of Israel to their homeland where He would then cleanse them. So God would vindicate His name through His loving acts of grace alone, by rescuing His ancient priesthood, formed through His eternal unconditional covenant with Abraham. God would save them in the same way He saves all the elect Gentiles, through His grace alone. This is what would cause the elect in “the nations that are left all around” Israel, after the devastation of the end times, “to know that” Yahweh is the Creator God, that the God of the Bible and Israel is the real God. This grace of God for sinful Israel will cause whole surviving nations to turn to our God Jesus.

The Roman humanists in fake churches and secular governments always slandered God’s name by portraying Him as a petty and vindictive god, who punished its people for minor infractions such as failing to perform physical rituals. And the humanistic synagogues did the same. All Jewish and Gentile Roman humanists pretended that God was a senseless, violent pagan kind of god, who raised up psychopathic despots to rule over oppressive hierarchies. So the real God had to prove that those are lies, that the sins of those human gods in the humanistic Roman class systems were committing their sins and lies through Satan, not through His commands. God only allowed those sinners to fall into those delusions because they rejected His just, equitable, loving truths, because they preferred the darkness of the devil’s lies and his carnal rewards. Then God allowed those delusions to kill their flesh and destroy their lands, until they saw enough to repent into the truth. When God proved them to be wrong, and they admitted they were wrong, those elect would see God display His power and unconditional love for them. And Israel’s elect will see Him save them while they are still sinners.

Yes, God disciplines His elect, usually through their temporary flesh, until their eternal spirits turn back to Him. But God also fulfills His promises and proves that He is faithful and just in His love, even if His elect are not faithful to Him. God vindicates His name by keeping His promises, even when we do not keep our promises. And God unconditionally promised to return Israel to the land that He had eternally granted to them through His Abrahamic Covenant. So God vindicated His name by keeping that unconditional promise, by returning Israel to their land and establishing them in that land, this time forever, until the earth ends. And He did this through grace alone, even though the Jews were sinning in idolatry, since they practiced Roman humanism. Those Jews did not need to earn this favor from God. Nor did God need to stop reminding the Jews that they were sinning, by punishing their stubborn flesh to awaken their spirits. Nor did the other humanists in the lands all around Israel, especially the Muslim nations, stop their attempts to war against God and God’s priesthood of Israel. Rather, from the day the first Jewish Zionist immigrated to Israel, all has been happening precisely as God told us it would in all His prophecies during the past 3,500 years or so.

Of course, the Jews profaned God’s name by teaching humanistic traditions in His name since before days that Jesus walked among us in these humbling perceptions of earthly pains and pleasures. The Jews have been almost as bad as the Gentile Great Prostitute and her harlot daughters, who also have been teaching slightly different colors of the same humanistic lies in God’s name. Satan’s humanistic fake churches and synagogues have always spread hatred and dark delusions through false doctrines which nullify the true intent and meaning of God’s spiritually just and loving laws and ways. For all of those fake churches and synagogues were designed to mock God and God’s true priesthood which ministers God’s loving justice and light to all the world. God and His loving light is the hope of the world, the only means to provide all the needs of all. And the devil’s entire purpose for making his fake churches and synagogues is prevent his captive lost elect from ever entering that hope and light.

God shall further vindicate His name by completing the “circumcision” of the hearts of all true elect Jews who have ever perceived earthly time and space, when they go to the gates of heaven. And God

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

will always begin that “circumcision” of all elect Jews while they dwell on earth, although many will not consciously realize it until the sixth seal’s revival or after Jesus returns. But it is always Yahweh Himself, who must vindicate His own name. Although many elect Jewish men think they “honor” the name of God by zealously performing meaningless physical rituals invented by fake Jews, such as wearing hats and phylacteries to recite form prayers while neglecting their priestly duties to their own households and to the world, they are actually slandering His name and His Law. Then Jewish men prevent truly elect Jewish women from serving the real God according to each one’s God-given callings, since those men abdicate their priestly duties. Thus, the entire body of theistic and secular Jews slander God’s name and His Law, especially religious Jews. I repeat, God’s name can never be vindicated by wills and deeds of humanists through their weak and inconsistent flesh. Out God alone can vindicate His own name, by fulfilling His eternal, unconditional Abrahamic and New Covenants in both His elect Jews and Gentiles, and by His works through the priestly ministries of His people.

Literally all human beings begin life as ignorant sinners, totally incapable of working any kind of true, God-like, just and loving holiness through their own fleshy wills. Not one, nor all of them put together, can do a single thing to vindicate and glorify the name of God, to justify the utter holiness and love in the real, true God. All fall short of God’s good opinion, although God loves all His elect children and sees all for what each shall become by the end of the last day at the gates of heaven. So, since all the elect remain infantile from the moment God envelops the minds of their spirits in these earthly perceptions, until the moment He withdraws those temporary perceptions from their spirits, the elect must never think too highly of themselves or others. None of the elect can be human gods, as the dark delusions of humanism teaches them to be. Rather, the elect must rely on their perfect oldest Brother who shared these humbling earthly perceptions with their spirits, even before Adam and Eve received them. And elect spirits must look to their heavenly Father for all truth and wisdom.

No elect spirit dwelling in a body of flesh on earth has any ability to make oneself holy. Literally all the holiness of all the elect is strictly through the presence of God inside elect hearts and souls, never due to a man or woman’s own ability to make oneself holy. And, if only God Himself can make any individual holy, then only God Himself can glory and vindicate His own holy name through any one elect life, or through His entire body of His awakened elect priesthood on earth. Through our Lord's works in the lives of all the Jewish elect and all the Gentile elect, who are all sinners, the rest of the world shall know that Yahweh alone is God, thee one and thee only utterly holy God who created all eternal spiritual and temporary physical existence. And only His light of truth and wisdom revealed in His creations and in His words can expose the words and ways of humanists as delusions and lies.

God is not any of the tiny gods invented and manipulated by the human gods ruling over the fake humanistic churches and synagogues existing for millenniums on earth. And the very first clue that reveals how stupidly false those gods are in those fake church and synagogues is the fact that all of those humanly created “creator gods” supposedly only conditionally “love” a select group of people, only those who practice the physical rituals and blindly believe the contradicting lies of elite human gods ruling over their churches. But the real Creator God made literally all the spirits and all the material bodies of all living entities in the entire universe. Then the real God of the Bible is saving literally all elect spirits on earth, from every family, tribe and nation on earth and elsewhere. All the spirits of life, all but the loveless non-elect spirits of demons and their offspring made in their image, were born into these material perceptions for one purpose alone, to be taught and trained for life in their eternal heavenly homes. Even the spirits of plants and animals see life on earth for this same reason, so they might be educated before they return to the bright side of the spiritual realm. Then all elect human spirits are further perfected and completed by our God Jesus during the judgment day,

before they enter God’s home, heaven’s New Jerusalem, as His children who will serve all life up there in the same way the real Creator God shall forever serve them. So the genuine God of the Bible is absolutely nothing like the tiny, biased, contradictory,pagan-like gods invented by the humanists.

In God’s covenant with Abraham, He granted the elect among the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob the stewardship of a carefully defined and delineated area of land which was later called Israel (Gen. 17:7-8; cf., Gen. 15:18-19; Deut. 11:24). Then God allowed Israel to make only physical covenants with the pagan Gentiles living in this land, if those Gentiles honored God’s name, covenants such as a promise to not war against them, to not force them to worship the real God in the same way the Jews did, and to accept the the physical goods and services of those Gentiles (e.g., Josh. 9:3-27). Then God even forced Israel to honor a covenant made with a Gentile by anyone who spoke as a representative of God’s name. For instance, when Jewish leaders unjustly warred against the Gibeonites, God commanded the king to execute of those Jewish leaders, even though they were all sons of a former king (e.g., II Sam. 21:1-14). However, God never allowed His priesthood of Israel to make any kind of moral or spiritual covenants with pagans, whether they were Jewish or Gentile. Israel had to expel Jewish pagans from their land, and to execute any who intentionally tried to lead God’s people into idolatry (Deut. 13:1-5). As for any Gentile pagans who insisted on teaching Israel about their pagan ideas, doctrines and gods, who thought their false religions were superior to God’s faith, who attempted to bribe or coerce God’s people into adopting their pagan ways, God told Israel that He would drive every one of them out of their land (e.g., Ex. 23:29-33; Deut. 11:22-25).

Then, when our God Jesus returns, He will remove every loveless and lawless Jewish and Gentile non-elect soul from the face of the entire earth. For God not only owns all of Israel, but literally all the earth and all the heavens, including everyone and everything in or upon them. No being on earth or in the heaven, apart from God Himself, can ever own land or anything else, not in the way the God-hating humanists say. Both theistic and secular humanists declare that a person can do whatever one wants with whatever one “owns,” as though humans can be the gods of those things. Some even say that humans can “own” other human beings, such as their wives, children or slaves. But, since the real God alone owns the heavens and the earth, and all in or upon them, the most that any human being can be is an owned steward of God’s property, faithfully caring for whatever God assigned to him or her, in a way that pleases their own Owner. And God gave the right of passage across all His lands, as long as the “trespasser” also took responsibility for steward of that land, such as respecting privacy, crops and so on. God’s Law even allowed any hungry person to “trespass” onto someone’s land to pick and eat the crops God grew there, and commanded all the stewards of His land to leave gleanings every year from every crop for the poor, then also allow volunteer crops to grow on His land every seventh year so the needy could harvest them. And Jesus came to fulfill all these laws of God. Yet God-hating humanists, some who even falsely claim to be “Christians,” actually dare to make laws which allow the so-called “owners” of land to kill “trespassers,” or to accuse innocent siblings of “stealing” the crops which God grows on His land when they “trespass.” Of course, those murderers and false accusers who legislate or act upon those unjust humanistic laws are the non-elect, who will all go to hell for all eternity. But the point is that both the Jewish and Gentile elect have got to stop heeding humanistic lies or falling into their dark destructive delusions. And this applies to the way Israel governs their land, as well as to the way that Gentiles interfere with Israel.

God can never break His own promise to grant the eternal stewardship of Israel’s land to the physical descendants of Jacob. Not even the Gentile spiritual descendants of Abraham, the awakened Gentile elect gathered into the true church of Israel, can possibly “own” or become permanent stewards of that land, although many can live there. So we can only come to one conclusion when we look at

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

how Ezekiel told us that God declared this to his people, to the exiled Jewish Diaspora: “I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land… You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be My people, and I will be your God. And I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses. And I will summon the grain and make it abundant and lay no famine upon you. I will make the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field abundant, that you may never again suffer the disgrace of famine among the nations. Then you will remember your evil ways, and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves for your iniquities and your abominations. It is not for your sake that I will act, declares the Lord [Yahweh]; let that be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.”

When we see how God spoke these words to the Jewish Diaspora, which includes most Jews to this day, we can only honestly conclude that God told them, back in the 6th century BC, that He would someday fulfill His promise to bring them back to their land. And their land was all that which He eternally gave to their fathers through His Abrahamic Covenant, the land which those Jews lived in for many generations in the past. Then God actually began to fulfill this promise in the 19th century.

And the Jews are the closest thing to the indigenous people of that land, since Israel actually has no other indigenous people living upon it. This is not only because the Jews have lived in Israel longer than any other people, but also because God has only ever promised the stewardship of that land to the Jews, never to anyone else. For every other people who ever lived on that land, during its entire historical past going back tens of thousands of years, came from other nations, as immigrants who were indigenous to other lands. Then each people group was wiped out by other invading foreign powers within several hundred years. For the land of Israel has always been fought over by many greedy foreign nations, who all wanted complete economic and political control over it. For Israel was always been a major trade route, allowing the Middle East and Europe to trade with kingdoms in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, as well as with India and the far east, through both its overland routes and shipping ports. Consequently, no people groups ever survived too long, except the Jews.

And almost all the “Palestinians” living in that region today emigrated from foreign lands in the 20th century. Very few identifiable groups actually lived there before then. Only the Jews have always lived in the land of Israel since about 1450 BC. A few dwelt there during the entire long Roman captivity too. God also helped Israel legally purchase literally all the land they lands they lived on up to 1947, from foreign powers. They stole none of it. Then Israel offered peace to all the Gentiles living within its borders, as well as to all its neighboring nations, as soon as it became it a sovereign nation in 1948. But many of those Gentile Muslims had spent years communing with Hitler and the Nazis both before and during the second World War. So they hated the Jews, even though most Jews were secular and did not hate them. And all that hatred was purely through humanistic religious, economic and political lies. Then the Muslims in Israel and in the neighboring nations declared war on Israel. And, although Israel mostly fought according to the relatively fair practices of the previous British and American Allied Forces, the Muslims fought like the fascists. The Muslims deceived, lied, terrorized, tortured, raped and murdered Israeli citizens as well as soldiers, intentionally and with malice of forethought. But God helped Israel defeat the better armed and superior numbers of Muslims. Thus, Israel extended its territories, although Israel also returned large portions of its conquered lands, keeping only the areas which were most critical for the defense of its free nation.

When Israel conquered those lands, it offered all the freedoms and rights of the Jews to the Muslims who were willing to live in peace with them. But only a small percentage of the Muslims chose to become citizens of Israel, under 200,000. And these were indeed, granted the same rights as the Jews, although both Jewish and Muslim groups have had complaints with the Israeli government.

Page 405

However, most Muslims within the conquered borders abandoned their houses and lands, fled to refugee camps, and tried to regroup, so they could somehow begin to lie, terrorize, torture, rape and murder the Jews again, through their humanistic, God-hating death cults. And those Muslims have been very successful in their hate, raising more money per capita for themselves than any other “refugee” group in the world. But they have not used these funds for life, only for death, and to make their psychopathic, lying human gods obscenely wealthy, while the majority is oppressed, starved and terrorized by those human gods. The only gifts the people get are more guns and more bullets.

Thus, when we look at this actual, unbiased history of the region, we can see that the Jews whom God returned to Israel were much like all the other people on earth, with “evil ways,” and “deeds that were not good,” especially since most were in theistic and secular humanist sects themselves. But the Jewish humanist sects were not nearly as bad as the Muslim humanist sects. And we have actually seen many of Jews “loathe themselves for their iniquities and their abominations,” then repent into the truth. We see this whenever Israel makes just laws and because they mostly engage in a far more just forms of warfare than their enemies. Meanwhile, most of Israel’s civilian casualties are the faults of Muslim armies who do not clear them out of battlefield areas, who even gather their own civilians in front of them to act as human shields and to use in their lying propaganda against Israel, without taking responsibility for their own actions. So we have seen extremely little godly sorrow and repentance that bears good fruit among the Muslims, who prefer to teach their children lies, hatred and unjust violence against the Jews from birth. But we have seen God cleansing the Jews for more than a century, while seeing God cast the Muslims who do not love the truth into far deeper and more destructive Satanic delusions at the same time. Yet the prophecies declare that those Muslim nations will repent soon, likely during the sixth seal’s revival, and will even become very strong allies of Israel during the end times. Therefore, we cannot vilify or hate all Muslims either.

“Thus says the Lord [Yahweh]: On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities , I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be rebuilt. And the land that was desolate shall be tilled, instead of being the desolation that it was in the sight of all who passed by.” Several details are included in this prophecy. But first we need to know what the “day” means, since this obviously does not refer to a 24-hour period of time, since cleansing us from our iniquities is always a process which takes more than a lifetime, even the whole of a judgment “day” in the presence of our God Jesus, which is equivalent to a thousand earthly years. So here a “day” actually refers to a process in which God Himself, not Israel through its own human will, progressively cleanses Israel from its iniquities, during a contiguous period of time, which could even last a couple of centuries or more.

So the prophecy is that, through a long process, God Himself will cleanse Israel. Then, during that period, as God is transforming Israel from a less clean nation and into a more clean, just, equitable and loving nation, God Himself will also do the works of rebuilding its cities and restoring its agricultural land in Israel. Through various agents and instruments, including the works God does by incentivizing Jews in Israel and the Diaspora, as well as the help He calls Gentile nations to do for Israel, God will “cause the cities to be inhabited,” “the waste places ... rebuilt,” and “the land that was desolate ... tilled.” Another interesting detail is that Ezekiel, early in the 6th century BC, also used the phrase: “the desolation that it was in the sight of all who passed by” (v. 36:34). So he did not see a vision of Israel becoming a “desolation” before the eyes of a people living in the land, although a large population had always lived there up to his lifetime. Rather, he saw a “desolation … in the sight of all who passed by” or “all who crossed over it,” which indicated that Israel would be virtually uninhabited. It would become like a desert with people following the trade routes passing through it, but with almost no one actually living in it. And that is exactly what the whole land of

Israel was like that by the 19th century, when Zionists began to return to the land. Only now have the Jews transformed Israel’s barren and unpopulated wastelands and swamps into cultivated crops, fruitful gardens, carefully restored ruins of past cities in archaeological sites, as well as new heavily populated cities and towns where the ancient cities once stood, exactly like this prophecy declared.

If we harmonize this prophecy other prophecies about the last days and end times in the Scriptures, we always find the same details being repeated. As we near the end times, God Himself was to cause the Jews to begin to return to their promised land, while they were still apostate and unfaithful. And their return would not be by their will or at the time of their choosing, but by God’s will in God’s chosen time, through God’s grace alone. God Himself repeatedly told them, “I will ... gather you ... and bring you into your own land.” God bears the power to cause a man’s will to bend to His own will, in ways that no other being possesses. God can make a man do whatever He desires the man to do. God also shapes the created wills and inherent attributes of the elect spirits He created, through His Spirit’s direct teaching, training, counseling and strengthening. God is a Father to those spirits, and every good father lovingly educates and shapes the wills of his children for their good. God does not abandon His children to their own foolish and untaught wills, to the delusions of their own making or to the lies of deceivers, since that is not fatherly love. On the other hand, God does not force His will on His children. Our Father simply pours His truths into the minds of our spirits, to teach and train our spirits, then allows us to make mistakes while we dwell in flesh on earth, so we might learn experientially. He does not forcefully demand that we must do His will, unless He finds us harming or even killing ourselves or our siblings far too much through deliberate disobedience.

And even if God chooses to discipline His children, He strikes their temporary flesh, not their spirits. This allows Him to teach their spirits the meaning of His words and the reasons for asking them to do what He calls them to do, so they might then repent into those truths. Then, whether their flesh remains alive on earth or their spirits have passed into their spiritual bodies at heaven’s gates, our God Jesus uses their earthly experiences for His effective training in the wise application of the knowledge He teaches to their spirits. This is how He writes His Law and ways upon their hearts.

Forcefully demanding blind obedience is ignorant and selfish, because it teaches nothing and does not train the mind to engage in wise and critical thinking. Yes, coercing the loveless non-elect to obey must be done at times, since they have no inner compulsion to do what is right or good. But God is a loving, wise Father of His elect children, who builds up knowledge, skill and wisdom in their spirits, for their own good. Always, He shapes their wills through the messy process of teaching and training His infantile children on the earth, little spirits who know nothing and do foolish things.

So God said He would begin to return His Jewish children to their land, His children who profane His name among the nations. And He would do this before they had fully repented and before they had completely stopped sinning. Yet some infantile and deeply sinning spirits of humanist, idolatrous theologians and preachers say that Israel must be a “bastard state” because they have not repented and become blindly obedient to their human gods and their false teachings? Now let us realize that all that the prophets and apostles recorded about the visions and concepts they received directly from the Holy Spirit of God not only has been fulfilled and is being fulfilled, but also reflects the loving character of a perfect Father of our spirits, who does not focus on granting us the desires of our very temporary perceived flesh, but is solely concerned about the education and well-being of our spirits.

God had to begin this predestined and prophesied return of the Jews to Israel during the era of the fifth seal, in order to give Israel time to be rebuilt and prepared for the end times of the sixth and seventh seals. What we see today is a critical time for the teaching and training of His natural

priesthood of Israel. And we need to realize that, even after this process began and is now drawing very close to the end times, God declared that most Jews in Israel and in the Diaspora would remain unfaithful and unrepentant until Jesus returned. So the only reasons God returns them are: (1) to keep His promise in a way that vindicates the holiness of His name, and (2) to later prove His power and love by making the elect remnant of Jews inwardly holy. God continues to love all His sinful, elect Jewish children just as much as He loves His equally sinful elect Gentile children, in spite of what they are now, because our Father knows what He created them to eventually become in heaven.

Our oldest Brother and heavenly Father shall eternally remain faithful to all elect spirits, never forsaking them. He shall turn all the elect Jewish and Gentile hearts to Him in the end, so all will know that He alone is the Creator God, ruling over the destinies of all men and all that exists. Then, when all the elect know that He alone is God, all will realize that man certainly cannot ever become a god who creates and rules over his own destiny, much less a god who creates and rules over the destinies of other human beings, or even the destinies of plants, animals, lands, waters or anything else. No human being can be a god who owns anyone or anything, and humanism is a complete lie.

When an elect spirit learn the truth from God’s Holy Spirit, then repents into that truth through godly sorrow produced by honest introspection, this is what Moses called God’s circumcision of the heart, and also what we might call God’s New Covenant salvation in the Messiah Jesus. And all prophecies are very clear that God will only grant this salvation to all the remnant of the Jews sometime after He has begun to return the still sinful Jews back to their land. After cities are rebuilt and their land is cultivated again, then God Himself, Jesus, will cleanse them of their sins, because many of those Jewish sinners are actually His “lost” true elect children. And God alone must do this cleansing of all His sinful and “lose” elect children, since not one can cleanse oneself, and no one else in heaven or on earth is omniscient or omnipotent enough to cleanse and save their spirits, definitely not other human sinners, especially not human gods from humanistic hierarchies in idolatrous fake churches.

Through this cleansing, God changes the inner wills, the thinking and choices in the minds of their elect spirits. So this cleansing or sanctification will not occur because of their wills, but because of God’s will acting upon their wills. Through God’s inward works of teaching, training, counseling, rebuking and encouraging their spirits, they begin to desire to do God’s will. And God works of returning then sanctifying apostate Jews is necessarily a long process, taking many decades. For the first Jews to return must restore a land which God has made utterly desolate in their absence, so more Jews can come and restore more land build cities for even more Jews to come. Furthermore, none of Satan’s humanistic cults will like this process of rebuilding the homeland of God natural priesthood. So the Jews who return must also defeat many persecuting enemies, before more will be able to return. Only after much of this process has occurred will they be able to build God’s temple. And after that God's full cleansing shall occur, when Jesus returns, as the other prophecies declare.

Jesus will come only after many Jews have already returned to their land and after they have also built a temple in Jerusalem. But God also said this through Ezekiel: “Then the nations that are left all around you shall know that I am [Yahweh]; [that] I have rebuild the ruined places and replanted that which was desolate; I have spoken, and I will do it” (Ezek. 36:36, ESV). So here God prophesied about the nations “around, on every side of” (Hebrew = sabib) of Israel, but only those “that are left, that remain” [Hebrew = shaar], presumably after some great disaster. After some kind of terrible times have destroyed some surrounding nations, who are all Muslim nations right now, then the ones who remain will admit that Yahweh Himself “rebuilt the ruined places and replanted that which was desolate,” in the land of Israel. But, although the Muslims believe that one of the Creator God’s names is Yahweh, they also believe that God granted the land of Israel to them alone, and that all the

Page 408

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

Jews in their sovereign land of Israel must be murdered. To many of those Muslims, lying about the Jews and murdering them pleases their God, although Satan is the only god and father of human spirits who was a liar and murderer from the beginning, and creates his people in his own image. So, for those Muslims to admit that Yahweh Himself restored Israel, that Yahweh returned the Jews to their homeland and made them into a sovereign nation, will be a huge conversion and revelation for those Muslim nations who survive some kind of great disaster. It will be what other prophecies say about the conversion of Egypt, Syria and other Muslim nations into Christian nations who support Israel in the end times, who will not submit to Satan’s Roman beast, but will war against that fascist.

So what is the great disaster which will destroy some of the nations surrounding Israel, which causes them to admit that Yahweh created the Jewish nation of Israel, and even causes those Muslim nations to become truly Christian nations at some time long before the beast rises to power in the end times? What events will occur that will cause the majority of Muslims to abandon their humanistic religion of Islam, then allow the Jews to spend many years rebuilding their temple on the Muslim’s third most holy site in Jerusalem, long before the beast begins his seven-year reign? The most likely time will be when meteors strike the earth like bombs and earthquakes devastate the infrastructures of all nations at the beginning of the sixth seal’s era, followed by the great revival of elect Jews and Gentiles all over the world. Those earthquakes and meteors might also destroy Mecca, which is essential to the extremely physically oriented Islamic religion. Or part of the destruction of some of those nations may be caused by wars with Israel and among the Muslims themselves, since both the religious and secular human gods in Muslim nations always murder one another to gain power and wealth. Those wars might deplete faith in those human gods and may even cause the destruction of Mecca as well. These are just speculations, but are all based on the very reliable biblical prophecies.

Also remember, God gave Ezekiel the prophecy (Ezek. 36:22-38) after He commanded us to stop sinning by putting a new heart within ourselves (Ezek. 18:31). So now God tells us, “I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes and be careful to obey My rules” (vv. 26-27, ESV). So now God declares that He Himself will put or create new hearts in us, after telling us to put or create new hearts in ourselves. So this indicates that a time will come when we will realize that His command to create new hearts within ourselves is utterly impossible for us to do, except by allowing our spirits to submit to God’s Spirit, who can actually do this kind of work inside us. In fact, all the commands of the Old Covenant Law are utterly impossible to obey through the human will and human flesh alone. All His commands must be rightly taught by God’s Spirit to our spirits before we can even know enough to correctly and wisely apply them. Then only His power can grant us power over our own flesh, so our spirits may use our flesh to do His works according to His law. And the only reason God gave us all His impossible Old Covenant commands was to make us face this reality, so our proud hearts would then react in dismay and proclaim, “How can God require such impossible things from us? Who then can be saved?” Those impossible commands turn us to Him, cause us to rely on Him alone for salvation, and make us turn away from relying upon ourselves or any other created beings. And that constant turning to our heavenly Father and our oldest Brother develops a very close relationship with Him.

All who truly know God and His ways know that all His Old Covenant commandments are totally impossible to keep in the wise, just, loving ways that God intended them to be kept. Only the power of God Himself can make us truly righteous, cause us to humbly and spontaneously walk in His loving ways. Only God Himself can put a new heart and new spirit within us. Only God can teach and train our spirits to cherish and follow His ways. We can only be saved if Jesus' Holy Spirit

comes to our spirits, through unmerited grace alone, causing our spirits to awaken and begin to honestly and finally realize the intended meanings of His written words, so we can begin to truly and inwardly repent into them and do them. And all this suggests the revival in the era of the sixth seal.

Here “the heart of stone” in the body of flesh is a cold, dead home of the spirit, like a dark dungeon carved into a rock foundation beneath a human lord’s castle. And a spirit dwelling in a prison like that cannot govern the thoughts of the mind of flesh within the soul. But “a heart of flesh” is the kind of flexible home with many doors, which allow a spirit to enter the chamber of the soul, to rule over one’s own mind and body of flesh, so one can use one’s flesh for God’s purposes through one’s love.

This is the New Covenant salvation of Jesus the Messiah. Jesus Christ’s true salvation is about God causing us to walk in His ways, by sending His Holy Spirit to teach our spirits about His intended meaning of His law and its effective wisdom. This is how Jesus fulfills God’s law in us and through us. When we see the benefits of God’s good ways, we cast aside our old ways, the ways taught by our parents, loved ones and friends, the ways of secular and theistic humanists who have always sought to subjugate other human wills to their foolish, self-serving, arrogant and destructive human wills. Before we are sanctified and saved in this way, we are not “sealed” by God to mark us as His protected property who bears His name, although we are His property and loved by Him. But, after He awakens and saves us, so that we begin to fulfill His wise, just loving ways of His Law, He also seals us with His personal seal, with His name, so that all will identify us as His priesthood to the world. This is what He will do during the sixth seal revival; seal 144,000 virgin male Jews as His true priest serving Him from all twelve tribes in the land of Israel, seal many other Jews in Israel and in the Diaspora (but not all of them), and seal millions of elect Gentiles, including many Muslims.

This prophecy of Ezekiel, as mentioned, is addressed to the Jews whose fathers were eternally granted the land of Israel. It definitely is not speaking about a Gentile church which supposedly replaced the natural Israel. Now God’s eternal unconditional Abrahamic Covenant, His first covenant with His church of Israel, was to be fulfilled by His eternal unconditional New Covenant through His Messiah, who was to be God Himself in a physical body of Jewish human flesh. So both these covenants are about God’s Spirit doing spiritual works in the spirits of Abraham’s spiritual offspring, who include the elect dwelling in both Jewish and Gentile flesh throughout the entire world, all whom God gathers into His eternal church or priesthood of Israel. Yet, in both covenants, God also divided the roles of the flesh into Jewish and Gentile flesh. For the flesh of the Messiah was to be Jewish, specifically through Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, David and so on. Then God promised to grant the physical land of Israel specifically to the physical flesh of the Jewish Messiah and only to the Jewish physical descendants of Jacob. For, after the Messiah comes to rule the earth in His body of Jewish flesh, He will need a physical people to serve Him in His physical capital city and capital nation. Now the elders in this physically Jewish people will help the physical Messiah, as His assistant teachers of His spiritual and moral laws and ways. But the Gentile elders in His true priesthood of Israel will also need to serve as equal assistant teachers of the Messiah throughout the world. Thus, something more will be required from this Jewish part of the priesthood, a greater role.

If we look at how God’s Spirit raised up artists and craftsmen to build His temple and all His other symbolic entities (Ex. 31:2-6), and realize that the temple held the presence of God’s Spirit just as the body of the Messiah, while those other symbolic elements reminded the people of God’s spiritual laws, ways and works, then we begin to see why God desires a specific kind of flesh to live in His capital city and capital nation of Israel. God will require a physical people who are genetically and culturally predisposed to do all types of physical tasks in symbolically spiritual ways, literally every kind of task required for the functioning of a physical city and nation. Jews will also need to develop

that physical capital city and that capital nation into a place which physically symbolizes and fully represents all God’s spiritual and moral laws and ways. The design and craftsmanship, the physical and social infrastructure, the policing and artistry, the construction works and office works, literally everything must reflect the spiritual will of God. For Israel must provide almost perfectly holy and edifying hospitality for all the millions of Gentiles coming to see them, their capital nation, their capital city and their Messiah, who is the eternal High Priest and King of all. The Jewish people will provide the physical manifestations of God’s spiritual laws and ways for all, and this will need to be done almost perfectly, as examples to the entire world of elect everywhere. And this is why God has kept the Jews as a distinct and separated people, apart from all others, for about 3,500 years. Yes, the Jews consist of the genetic makeup of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, but also of the genetic makeup of almost every other Gentile nation on earth too. And now the physical Jews have been prepared to do all that is required to serve in all aspects of running a capital nation for our God, the Messiah Jesus.

So we must not confuse God’s eternal and unconditional spiritual covenant promises with His physical promises. God made spiritual promises for all the Jewish and Gentile elect on earth, but also made some physical promises for His physical Jewish Messiah about His physical nation descended from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Then we should also realize the reason for God raising up and keeping His physically Jewish people separate, because they were to be the priesthood who would physically serve the entire ea rth. For God said this to the physical offspring of Abraham and Isaac: “Live in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For I will give to you, and to your offspring, all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father. I will multiply your offspring as the stars of the sky, and will give all these lands to your offspring. In your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because Abraham obeyed My voice, and kept My requirements, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws” (Gen. 6:3-5, WEB). And also remember that Abraham kept all the ways of God through the teaching and training of God’s Holy Spirit alone, since the written Old Covenant Law did not exist until over 400 years after Abraham’s flesh died. Thus, the elect Jewish people serving the Messiah Jesus after He returns will also serve Him through all that His Holy Spirit teaches and trains them to do, as Abraham did. And this is the eternal, unconditional spiritual promise of God’s New Covenant for all Jewish and Gentile elect. But this “will establish the oath” God made for the physical Jews in His Abrahamic Covenant as well.

In both the eternal unconditional Abrahamic and New Covenants, God promised: (1) to cause the elect descendants of Abraham to become His people, that is, to worship and serve Him; and (2) to cause Himself to be their God, to serve them through His personal love for them, as their Teacher, Protector, Counselor and Father. These two promises are the core foundational promises in God's covenant with Abraham (Gen. 17:7-8), and His New Covenant of the Messiah’s salvation (Jer. 31:33). And both of these promises are spiritual. Both are promises of God to personally educate and alter the spirits of His people in ways that would cause them to worship Him in their spirits and in truth. Thus, both of these spiritual promises are for all spirits created like Abraham’s spirit. They are promises for all elect Gentile spirits, since Abraham was a Gentile who had not yet fathered any Jewish offspring, and also a promise for his physical offspring, who are his physical descendants.

But God only gave His church or priesthood of Israel His eternal and unconditional New Covenant for one reason, to fulfill His eternal and unconditional Abrahamic Covenant. And the New Covenant also replaced His temporary and very conditional Old Covenant, which He also made only with His church of Israel. For the Old Covenant served only the purpose of introducing the ways of God to His priesthood which He created to serve the whole world. God’s Law revealed how God thought and the way God Himself judged according to the principles in His Law. Then God’s interpretations

and applications of His own Law were to serve as an examples of how His people were also to think and judge. Lastly, our God came to us in a body of flesh to further illustrate and exemplify how we are to think and judge according to outline of His ways in the Law. Jesus showed His disciples the character and attributes of God, which had been briefly summarized in His 613 Old Covenant laws.

Finally, through death of our God’s body of flesh on the cross, God silenced all accusations by the devil against all the elect who had ever lived or will live on the earth, because Jesus offered up His sinless body for all the sins committed by all their infantile spirits dwelling in unruly, amoral bodies of flesh. That death allowed the unrivaled and just forgive all the unintentional sins of all the elect, including all their intentional sins which would all be made unintentional through their repentance into the truth, once He taught them that truth. And, through forgiveness which atoned for all our sins, our relationship was restored with our God. Thus, once our God Jesus did this, He could then send His Holy Spirit into our hearts and souls, to teach and train our spirits. This this would lead to the final fulfillment of His Abrahamic and New Covenants, when He gathers literally all the elect who ever live on earth throughout all history, into His church of Israel by the end of the judgment day.

Like Ezekiel did, Jeremiah also told us how God would fulfill these two principal promises of salvation, that God Himself would make us into His people and serve us as our God, by putting His Law in our minds, by writing His Law on our hearts. This meant that God's Spirit would fulfill these two spiritual promises found in both the eternal, unconditional Abrahamic and New Covenants by teaching and training our spirits until we knew and followed His ways. And God has always kept these two spiritual promise for His elect since the days of Adam and Eve, even by walking with them in the Garden of Eden in a body of flesh, to disciple them, to teach and train them in His ways. But, after they sinned through the temptations of their flesh, the relationship of the elect with God always remained strained and hindered through the flesh. Thus, our Creator God had to come again in the flesh, this time to pay the atonement demanded by demonic and human accusers against all our sins.

Once Jesus paid all that our accusers could ever demand from us, through the beating and death of His utterly sinless flesh on the cross, there were no more accusations that could be justly leveled against any of us. Thus, God could justly restore His full relationship with us, during our lives on earth and for all time, into eternity. Thus, for all the elect spirits He chooses to awaken on earth, His Holy Spirit has been teaching and training those spirits in their hearts, as His disciples, and will perfect and complete that work at the gates of heaven on the final day outside of heaven’s mainland.

Jesus has been doing this in all elect spirits, from birth to death, since time began. But now He can do so better, without the limits that the sins of our flesh placed on us, if we trust in Him. Before Jesus, the relationship betw een the elect and God had been inhibited by a debt of sin, even by their murdering, if not directly, then by their wilfull ignorance and negligence toward their sibling in the family of humankind. But now all our accuser’s demands for justice have been paid by a Messiah who is the sinless Creator God Himself. And now God can justly disciple our spirits, can teach and train us to become more like Him each day, by fulfilling the Law which defines His just, equitable and loving attributes and character. Now we can personally learn from the Holy Spirit of God to be just like Him, to think and judge like He does, as His true people, all taught by our heavenly Father.

For thousands of years we did not have the revelation of the true Gospel. But let us remember that time is not what our spirits perceive through our flesh. For all past and future times exist all at once. Thus, the works of Jesus already existed for all the elect who lived and died before Jesus entered our perceived flow of time. All the elect had been justly forgive, atoned and redeemed from all of their accusers from the beginning of time. But now that we know we have prepaid grace regarding all our

 

Page 412

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

sins of the flesh, now that the Gospel has been revealed, this can make His works upon our spirits far more effective, through our faith in our God Jesus, through experiential trust in Him and His words.

Later, during the long judgment day, our teaching Judge will finish this cleansing work in all elect spirits. Furthermore, Jesus always does this work according to our Father’s will alone, and never according to any human will. So God’s will might decide to allow a elect spirit to live one’s entire life without a conscious knowledge of Jesus, because those experiences on earth will serve a greater good for that one’s elect spirit when that spirit is being perfected and completed by Jesus on the final judgment day. But a human will never initiates this work. Rather, a spirit’s will is created with certain attributes and propensities, then shaped and initiated by either God or Satan. And a will of flesh always is unwilling to be changed by God’s works inside one. Also, no infantile human spirit initially loves God or anyone else much, but must learn to love, must gradually become loving in a just, responsible, caring, sacrificial, God-like way. And only the works of God’s wise Holy Spirit, done according to His will, can effectively change and shape the will of an elect spirit, can makes one’s spirit willing, can cause one’s spirit to love God and His ways. First God loves us. Then we learn to love God and His creations (I John 4:19). First God’s laborers, His servants and agents, love our infantile spirits through the love God puts in them. Then we learn to love through God in them.

All these works of salvation are done through God's free, unmerited, unearned grace for all His elect children, who are all sinners, for all whose spirits He created directly from His Spirit (or “breath”), for those made in His image. No magic, pagan-like physical baptism ritual, performed entirely by a human will, is ever required by God before He will grant His Spirit and saving grace to any elect child. For, if His grace was conditional upon physical wills and works like baptism, or any other works, then His works could not be called free, unmerited, unearned “grace.” So a commanded ritual like physical baptism is simply a reminder and an acknowledgment of what God has already done inside one’s heart through His grace. All biblical physical ceremonies, feasts, rituals and signs are simply physical expressions of our faith in God’s works. All these remind our minds of flesh to remember that our spirits have a reason to trust in the power of God and in all His words of truth.

Thus, God grants His saving grace to His sinful Jewish elect children in the same ways as He does to all of His sinful Gentile elect children. No church, nor any man, can possibly control God's will to grant His loving, saving grace to anyone. Not created being can possibly do any deed which allows or causes God to cleanse and purify any elect spirit for salvation. Literally all the elect will be saved according to Jesus Christ's unconditional New Covenant promises, and through His grace alone, according to His will alone. For God alone made us, and God alone can fulfill His promises of His covenants. God does not have a slave's will that obeys man's “free will,” like most churches now teach through their self-contradicting doctrines based on Middle Platonic humanistic philosophies. Yes, many churches refuse to admit that they actually teach humanism, which opposes all true and pure biblical teachings, especially the core truths about the nature of the Messiah and His genuine salvation of our spirits. And each denomination creates its own unique “savior” god, who offers a different kind of “salvation” to the members of that humanistic false church. But, back here, in this reality of what we actually experience in God’s spiritual and physical creations, or what we actually read in God’s revealed Word, almost nothing they teach actually aligns with any of our experiences.

Both God’s Word and the honest empirical observations of God’s creations through science, prove that all human beings have “slavish wills,” both created and shaped by external entities and their experiences in life. Ultimately, the Creator God, who set in motion and controls all existence in real time (by controlling each entities perceptions of time) is the Lord and Owner of all human spirits and flesh, the only one who ultimately creates and shapes every human being’s will. And God also hands

Page 413

Last Days Timeline

 

the wills of some people over to Satan, who totally blinds, manipulates and enslaves their wills. In all this, no human being has anything even remotely resembling a “free will,” that is, an autonomous will which is wise, powerful and free enough to make informed decisions about recreating and shaping one’s own spirit or flesh. No human mind of the spirit or mind of the flesh exists without any deceptions, manipulations or coercions, without being influenced by faulty information or ignorance. Thus, it is impossible for anyone to have anything resembling a “free will.” The only way to have anything like a “free will,” one would actually need to be completely omniscient and totally omnipotent, able to control all existence. And, although humanists are deluded enough to actually think they are omniscient and omnipotent, they actually are not. Only God is. Only God Himself actually has a truly free will. And we will only have free wills like His as we become more like Him.

God saves all through grace alone. So God never requires a magic ritual, performed by the physical hands and bodies of deluded men in hierarchical systems ruled by other deluded men, and even by demons. God freely works His salvation in the spirits of His elect Jews and His elect Gentiles. God alone decides which sinners He shall save and when He will save them. God alone chooses how much He shall awaken, teach and train each elect spirit to love in the wise, just, God-like ways of His own Law. Furthermore, the time has almost come when most of God’s elect shall wake up and realize that God alone can save and sanctify a heart, that He alone can wake a spirit from its lethargy and purify it from its ignorant apostasy, to deliver elect spirits from all of their “uncleannesses.” For the works of proving the devil’s Roman religion to be destructive and wrong during the eras of the first five seals, which was done by His other works which proved His ways to be benefical and true, have almost been completed. So the revival of His elect during the era of the sixth seal draws near.

We often take pride in our bodies and material possessions, which we do not truly own and which will all be taken away from literally all of us on the appointed days of our deaths. All that anyone will ever be able to keep for all eternity is one’s own spirit, with its complete and perfect memory of all one’s earthly experiences. Thus, if all those memories are about carnal cravings for things of the flesh, then one’s spirit will pass into an eternity with nothing of any value, because all the material universe is a mere perception that God will utterly remove from our spirits forever. The entire material space-time continuum will cease to exist just before the judgment begins, will never again be perceived by any spirit ever again. Then those who lived only for the flesh will discover that they spent their entire lived utterly focused on death, because the flesh always dies. However, if we spend our earthly lives seeking and gathering spiritual treasures of God-like love in just and wise ways, based on a knowledge of God’s ways which define His character and attributes, then the memories of our earthly experiences in the minds of our spirits will be extremely valuable to us when we lose our real-time perceptions of earthly lives. For those same principles of love, truth and wisdom exist in the eternity which our spirits actually live within both now on earth and forever in the future. All the eternal spiritual treasures we gather on earth will be fully functional and useful in the spiritual space-time continuum where our spirits actually exist. So, when our flesh dies, we will find that we have lived our entire lives for life, even for eternal life, where love and truth cannot perish or end.

Now I know we all need things of the flesh while we live on earth. But we cannot live for bread alone, and we must not neglect the things of the spirit. And this fifth seal’s era of persecutions and revealing attempts to revive the fascist Roman human gods is not the time to live for the flesh alone. It is the time to see the value of love based on spiritual realities, and to loathe the carnal ways that have caused so much suffering and death over the centuries, with even more in the near future. We need our God, our Father and Creator, who will also destroy all material existence in the end. God

alone can make our spirits grow mature in His wisdom, able to love and bear much inward fruit for Him, for His elect Jews and Christians, for His other living creations on earth, and for ourselves.

Now is a good time to take a more careful look at God’s just, equitable, loving Law, which Jesus came to fulfill in us and through us. Even the little that God allows every elect heart to comprehend from the very start will make us despair of ever pleasing Him through our own ignorant and very weak wills of our infantile spirits and amoral flesh. Fully understanding His Law, and how God also gave us clear examples of how He Himself applies it, will make us more “ashamed and confounded” when we realize how we have all used that Law selfishly, in arrogant and loveless ways, for our own personal carnal gain. However, that godly sorrow can lead to repentance into the truth, which allows God to justly forgive our sins, restore His relationship with us, then send us His Holy Spirit teach and train our spirits to become more like Him, just as He promised to do for His Messiah’s salvation.

And God’s Law has nothing to do with a mythical, Platonic kind of “free will” to recreate ourselves into either good or evil eternal spiritual beings. For literally all God’s Law is spiritual, all teaching our spirits how to express love through our bodies of flesh, as well as what we are to define as evil expressions of spirits through their bodies of flesh. And, since the Law mostly provides examples of what human spirits express through the flesh, most simply comply with that Law in the flesh, by letting their flesh try to do what His spiritual law is telling their spirits to do, spontaneously. Thus, those who obey God’s Law entirely through their flesh gain nothing from His spiritual law. For there is nothing good in any of us, that is, absolutely nothing spiritual or moral in our flesh, and very little that is truly good in our spirits, if our spirits remain infantile, ignorant, uneducated and without love.

The only choice that some spirits have is the choice that God grants to elect spirits when He chooses to speak to them. Non-elect spirits are not even granted this much of a choice. And, even when God calls an elect spirit, that elect spirit is almost compelled to repent into the truths which God’s Spirit pours into it, because that elect spirit was created with a very strong innate propensity to love and desire that truth. Thus, when God’s Holy Spirit wakes and calls an elect spirit, that spirit freely and willingly humbles itself before our God through its own innate desires. Then that elect spirit also realizes that it is not its own god, that it is not ruling over its own destiny. That is when Satan’s religion of Roman humanism is exposed as a complete delusion and is rejected by the elect spirit.

Ezekiel’s prophecy described how God will cause repentance into a knowledge of the truth about God and His ways, for salvation from sin. Ezekiel prophesied that God would cause the repentance of the Jews specifically, and in the end times. For he said this will occur after God makes their land fruitful, after they begin to return. God will cause them to reclaim a desolate land over a long period of time; after they provide water to crops in a virtual desert and make depleted soil fertile again. So all this takes much time, since God did not say He would do this instantly through a miracle, but rather naturally through the agency of His Jewish people. Then, once all this is done over a long period of time, with many enemies attacking them during that time, God said He would inwardly deliver their remnant from “uncleannesses.” Clearly, this spiritual, inward deliverance must take place a fairly long time after some Jews return to the physical land of Israel, to the land of their “fathers,” after a long process of gradually gathering some generations there, only a few at a time.

And Ezekiel definitely prophesied that these first immigrant Jews to Israel would not be clean and repentant when they arrived in their promised land. He prophesied that most would not repent until a time that Jeremiah, a contemporary, also prophesied about, when God would bring them into His New Covenant relationship, through the Messiah. And Jesus is that Messiah. But other prophecies

 

Page 415

Last Days Timeline

 

say that He will not save all the natural Israel until He returns to Jerusalem and it temple, which will necessarily be after a long rebuilding process in that city and in that land, requiring many decades.

So the return we are now seeing, which began with apostate Jews in the 19th century, is indeed the return described by God in the prophecies penned by Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Moses and other prophets. God promised: “On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited and the waste places shall be be rebuilt. And the land tat was desolate shall be tilled ...” (Ezek. 36:33-34a, ESV). So God will cleanse Israel, the Jews, just like the grafted-in Gentiles, in His New Covenant salvation. And God will do this at a specific time, on a “day,” which obviously refers to a long unspecified period of time involving human Jews rebuilding cities and tilling land, over a period of many years. And, in the context of all the other prophecies, this “day” includes a recent period of time in this era of the fifth seal, plus a time when some Jews in Israel are cleansed by the New Covenant salvation in the era of the sixth seal, then a literal “day” when literally all the rest of the Jews on earth, in Israel and the Diaspora, the “day” Jesus returns in the era of the seventh seal.

After God cast the humanist Jews out of their land by the hands of the Roman humanists, God would eventually turn Israel into a “desolate” wasteland, then scatter the Jews throughout all the Gentile nations on earth. Yet He kept them separate while, at the same time, God also caused the Jews to marry Gentiles, to bring Gentiles into the priesthood of Israel, and to learn about all the nations of the earth which God appointed them to serve in the very beginning, in the Abrahamic Covenant. So God not only affirmed that the Jews would return to Israel after their land was made desolate, but implies that their experiences were for an important, spiritually difficult, long-suffering purpose.

Of course, the land of Israel was not made desolate immediately, not until long after the Roman captivity began. Starting about in the 13th century, in a way severely affected by the Roman Catholic Crusades which to the early aspects of the Protestant Reformation and a return to true biblical study, the Muslims began to make it desolate. And this ruination of that land was done deliberately, to prevent invaders from crossing the land. They cut down trees, destroyed water sources and made it difficult for anyone to live there, or even cross over that land. In the days of the Ottoman Empire, especially after the 16th century, it had become truly desolate. By the 19th century, almost no land was cultivated and almost no one lived there. So that was when the Jewish Zionists began to return.

To the Ottoman Empire, which began by claiming to be the new Roman Empire, Israel was just a strategic land bridge between them and other lands, and was handed down to powerful Islamic nobles who used it to protect their empire. So that empire did not hold any regard for the people actually living there. And this was why they were willing to sell that desolate land even to the Jews who wanted to live there, although they sold that land to them at about ten times the market value for other Muslims. Nevertheless, that worst period of the land’s desolation at the end of the second millennium of the Jewish captivity, which was never so terrible before then, actually caused the Roman humanists to sell it back to the Jews. If the land had been rich, prosperous and populated, the Roman humanists would not have sold any land to the Jews, because they prioritized Muslims above all other people. So God manipulated the Muslims and the Jews at that time. God set the “day” that the Jews began their return to the 19th century, so His prophesied long process of rebuilding and cultivating the land could begin, to prepare for the events of the end times and the return of Jesus.

Israel could not begin to return to their land until this process of desolation was completed, as it was in the 19th century, although a few Jews always lived there since the Roman captivity began, and a few more began to return after the Muslims defeated the Romans in the seventh century. Then notice how Ezekiel mentions that the people in the Middle East will say: “This land that was desolate has

 

Page 416

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

become like the garden of Eden, and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited” (Ezek. 36:35, ESV). So the ruined cities, lying in waste and desolation, were to become “fortified” (Hebrew = batsar , “cut off, inaccessible, enclosed, fortified”). So, first of all, this clearly suggests that the Jews would rebuild the ruined cities of their ancient past, especially their capital city of Jerusalem. However, when the prophecy declares that these cities will be “fortified,” it can only mean one thing. It indicates that there will be wars and violent conflicts in and around all of those cities in the land of Israel, when they begin to return to their land and a long time after that.

So the prophecies about the return of the Jews never said they would all begin to return to any kind of utopia, to a new garden of Eden that was either magically created by God or by Gentiles. Rather, it says they would return to desolate lands and cities lying in a ruined wasteland, which the first Jews to return would cultivate and rebuild, which those first Jews would transform into a garden of Eden, even though they would need to fight in wars and conflicts, with a need to “fortify” their “inhabited” cities. And all this had to be done, including the rebuilding of their third temple, before their Messiah Jesus was to return. So this is exactly what we have seen happening in Israel since the 19th century, exactly what is happening now. Thus, it looks like they will soon build their third temple and Jesus will return about a decade or so after its completion, about three and a half years after the beast stops the Jews from making sacrifices in that temple. All that He prophesied is indeed occurring as written.

But there will be no need to build fortified cities after the Messiah returns, since there will be no more wars anywhere on earth after that, not until the one battle at the end of His millennial reign over all the world. Thus, in other prophecies by Ezekiel, it says there will be no fortified cities in Israel “after many days,” during the time of Gog and Magog (Ezek. 38:11). And, according to the Revelation, this will occur a thousand years after Jesus returns (Rev. 20:7-8). Thus, we must conclude that no fortified cities will be built during the time Jesus rules on earth, and even the existing fortifications in the cities of Israel will be removed, since there will be no wars. Thus, if there is a necessity for fortified cities when Israel returns to rebuild and cultivate Israel, this return must begin long before Jesus returns, at a time when there will be wars and conflicts within Israel.

So the return of Jews into their land of Israel must begin before Jesus returns. And the period of their return, which Ezekiel prophesied about in the 36th chapter, must also begin long before the 144,000 martyred virgin male Jews are “sealed” during the sixth seal’s revival as well (Rev. 6:10-12; 14:1-4), since their deaths will occur long before Jesus returns. Those 144,000 will almost assuredly be killed during the reign of the beast, in the era of the seventh seal’s era. For they will be presumably killed in Israel, where the two prophets will also be killed in the temple of Jerusalem during the middle of the beast’s seven-year reign (Rev. 11:1-12). So the beginning of the return to Israel must be before the era of the sixth seal, in this current era of the fifth seal. And those first returning Jews will need to build “fortified” cities to endure attacks during this current fifth seal’s era, as well as during the eras of the sixth and seventh seals, until Jesus returns. Therefore, those who say this current return of the Jews is not what the biblical prophecies spoke about are wrong. This is not a “bastard return” of Jews as many antisemitic theologians like to say, but the genuinely prophesied return of those Jews.

Over the last century or so, we have seen the Jews build armed and “fortified” cities upon ancient ruins of the cities which existed before the Roman occupation, even a huge wall dividing their land from the Palestinian territories. And the wars in Israel have been opposed by the antisemitic Roman humanists around the world. But we need to remember three things: (1) God prophesied that these wars and conflicts would occur, and that neither the first returning Jews nor the humanistic enemies of those Jews would be a sanctified people during this era of the fifth seal; (2) the Jews did not start those wars with their enemies and have always been willing to live in peace with all the Muslims or

Page 417

Last Days Timeline

 

secular people in their land; and (3) the prophecies say that, sometime after Israel begins to return, the nations surrounding Israel, who are all humanistic Muslims, will convert and begin to worship the one true God of Israel, even the Messiah Jesus, through His sanctifying New Covenant salvation.

The wars and conflicts, as well as the conversion of the surrounding Muslim nations, definitely had to occur after Israel first began to return, rebuilt fortified cities, cultivated the land and prospered, but before Jesus returned and before the whole of the natural Israel repents. Scriptures prophesied that, even before the time of the beast, some currently Muslim nations in the region (Egypt, Assyria, Iraq and others) also would convert to a true Christianity and build a highway to join their lands, a highway that runs right through Israel. Then the beast would also attack those nations at the same time that he attacks Israel. But Jesus will completely destroy that Roman beast and his kingdom before He even sets His foot upon the Mount of Olives at His return. But we have not yet seen this conversion of those nations, nor their highway, nor the third temple to which those converted nations where prophesied to visit. Therefore, we have some time to go before we see the end of these wars and conflicts. But we have seen a significant portion of the prophecies already fulfilled. We are also seeing many Muslims in the surrounding lands growing weary of their humanistic religious and secular leaders ruthlessly murdering millions of innocent Muslims, Jews, Christians and other supposed “infidels,” while those leaders grow obscenely wealthy and powerful by causing those wars and conflicts. So the conversion of those Muslim nations, likely during the sixth seal’s revival, appears to be coming soon. Then the Jews will also be able to rebuild the third temple after that.

But let me repeat, this prophecy refuses to give the Jews credit for their own return or for the restoration of their land. It clearly states that the first returning Jews, most of whom must be the elect Jews loved by God, will remain “unclean” and apostate during this time before the Messiah returns. So we are not to judge those humanistic religious and secular Jews as being any worse than the secular and fake humanistic Christian elect among the Gentiles. But we are to give God all the credit for His salvation of all the Jewish and Gentile elect, both while some live on this earth and when literally all the rest will be completed and perfected on the last day. Arrogance towards the current Jews, or Muslims for that matter, is not an option for anyone who knows and believes God’s words.

God causes all and makes all possible, for the education of eternal elect spirits. God even caused the Jews to initially think about returning to their land. God basically even coerced all those Jews into returning, manipulated them into returning, and manipulated the Muslims into selling them that land which made it possible for them to return. And God is still causing Jews to return, rebuild, cultivate and thrive there. For this is God’s will. Therefore, those who oppose all this are opposing the will of God to their own peril, and may be handed over to delusions which will destroy them. Or, if any elect have any real faith in God, let them pray rightly, remembering that God only answers prayer requests that are made according to His will (I John 5:14), not prayers to stop all that He ordained.

God said: “I will let the house of Israel ask Me to do for them: to increase their people like a flock. Like the flock for sacrifices, like the flock at Jerusalem during the appointed feasts, so shall the waste cites be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am [Yahweh]” (Ezek. 36:37-38, ESV). Now understand that “the flock at Jerusalem during the appointed feasts” were there for only one purpose, to be sacrificed. Yet God commanded Israel to pray for this, to become that kind of sacrificed flock of people during the times before their Messiah returned. Thus, we cannot see death as something tragic and evil, but simply as an event in the eternal lives of our spirits, even as the kind of event which can sometimes benefit our people and our land in ways that God will require from us. And the blessing that God said He would work through the sacrifices of those initial Jews

who returned to Israel would be that their waste cities shall be filled with flocks of people, who would know God is Yahweh, the only God who is all that exists, who is the Creator of their lives.

First God stirs our spirits to ask Him for certain things, and compels our hearts to ask Him. Then God grants what we ask Him to do. He only causes our spirits to desire and ask for what is according to His will because He is teaching and training our spirits to think like Him, as His children, to be wise and with understanding, so we will not ask Him to grant things we desire through the fears and anxieties of our flesh. And, right now, God has been granting the spirits of the elect their desire for His return, preparing the world for that day. He is separating the elect from the non-elect, exposing the religious and secular lies of the devil everywhere on earth and, although our flesh may perish, Jesus will save us all into a more abundant, loving, beautiful, original life in the New Jerusalem.

Even at the present time, much of the formerly desolate land of Israel is now like the garden of Eden, and the Israeli population is growing. Many of its ruined towns and cities are being inhabited and fortified. But this process is still far from complete, since the Muslim nations have not yet repented and Israel has not yet built a third temple. So we are seeing only the middle of the process of Jews returning to the land of Israel. Therefore, we know their final deliverance in Jesus will not arrive for decades, and after much more bloodshed in that land, along with devastation throughout the world.

Ezekiel 37:1-28 (ESV): “The hand of [Yahweh] was upon me, and He brought me out in the

Spirit of [Yahweh] and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones. And He

led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley,

and behold, they were very dry. And He said to me, ‘Son of man, can these bones live?’ And I

answered, ‘O Lord [Yahweh], you know.’ Then He said to me, ‘Prophesy over these bones,

and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of [ Yahweh ]. Thus says the Lord [Yahweh] to

these bones: Behold, I will cause breath [life-spirit] to enter you, and you shall live. And I will

lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and

put breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am [ Yahweh].’

“So I prophesied as I was commanded. [All true prophecies are concepts which God commands the

spirit to reveal.] And as I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, a rattling, and the bones

came together, bone to its bone. And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and

flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them. But there was no breath in them

[breath and spirit are equated here]. Then He said to me, ‘Prophesy to the breath ; prophesy, son of

man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Come from the four winds, O breath,

and breathe on these slain, that they may live.’ So I prophesied as He commanded me, and

the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.

“Then He said to me, ‘Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they

say, “Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off.” Therefore prophesy,

and say to them, Thus says the Lord [Yahweh]: Behold, I will open your graves and raise you

from your graves, O My people. And I will bring you into the land of Israel . And you shall

know that I am [Yahweh], when I open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O My

people. And I will put My Spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you in

your own land. Then you shall know that I am [Yahweh ]; I have spoken, and I will do it,

declares [Yahweh].’

“The word of [Yahweh] came to me: ‘Son of man, take a stick and write on it, “For Judah,

and the people of Israel associated with him” [the southern tribes of Israel sent into captivity by

Babylon in about 586 BC]; then take another stick and write on it, “For Joseph (the stick of

Ephraim) and all the house of Israel associated with him” [the northern tribes of Israel sent into

captivity by Assyria in about 721 BC]. And join them one to another into one stick, that they may

become one in your hand. And when your people say to you, “Will you not tell us what you

mean by these?” say to them, Thus says the Lord [Yahweh]: Behold, I am about to take the

stick of Joseph (that is in the hand of Ephraim) and the tribes of Israel associated with him.

And I will join with it the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, that they may be one in

My hand. ‘When the sticks on which you write are in your hand before their eyes, then say to

them, Thus says the Lord [Yahweh]: Behold, I will take the people of Israel from the nations

among which they have gone, and will gather them from all around, and bring them to their

own land. And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel.

“And one King shall be King over them all, and they shall be no longer two nations, and no

longer divided into two kingdoms. They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols

and their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions. But I will save them from all

the backslidings in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them; and they shall be My

people, and I will be their God. My servant David shall be King over them, and they shall

all have one Shepherd. They shall walk in My rules and be careful to obey My statutes. They

shall dwell in the land that I gave to My servant Jacob, where your fathers lived. They

and their children and their children's children shall dwell there forever, and David My

servant shall be their Prince forever . I will make a covenant of peace with them. It shall be

an everlasting covenant with them. And I will set them in their land and multiply them, and

will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore. My dwelling place shall be with them,

and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. Then the nations will know that I am

[Yahweh] who sanctifies Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.’”

God gave Ezekiel a vision of Israel’s people and land during their Babylonian captivity in the 6 th century BC, illustrating their state of existence until He would redeem them. The Jewish people would remain as “dry bones,” without sinew or the “breath” of life, that is, without flesh or spirit. In other words, a framework and core of Israel’s individual members and corporate body would always remain throughout their captivity, but lifeless and without spirit. Then God asked Ezekiel, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And, before the 20th century, most sons of men said the same thing when they saw the divided Jewish people scattered around the world, with their promised land lying utterly ruined and desolate. None thought it was remotely possible for those bones to live again. God’s works were not done by them, not by their flesh and certainly not through the love of their spirits for God and His creations. Yet a miracle did happen. God actually did return the Jews to their promised land, They formed a body of flesh in 1948 as well, and began to do the works of God through their flesh. Right now, they still would remain without “breath,” that is, without the spirit of life in them. But that too will change in a relatively short period of time, and they will become God’s true army.

Notice when Israel went into their Babylonian captivity, to become “dry bones” without flesh for such a long time, for 2600 years. It began as soon as they began to syncretize Babylonian doctrines and traditions with biblical teachings. Then they assimilated even more pagan beliefs in subsequent years. First, they grew fond of the early form of humanism developing in Babylon. Then they went on to embrace the humanistic traditions of Persia, Greece and Rome as well. So, during that entire time of humanistic influence, the Jews were “dry bones.” Of course, all this was for a purpose, since the Jews will eventually work beside their Messiah Jesus to eradicate every form of Satan’s favorite invention, which is his anti-God religion of humanism. And, because elect Jews have carried every form of humanistic tradition with them throughout history, within their man-made traditions, they

 

Page 420

have become the only people on earth who are uniquely qualified to eradicate every form, once God cleanses them from that demonic religion. Yet, while they cling to their humanistic beliefs, they will remain “dry bones” in the Diaspora, although some are now flesh and bones without spirit living in Israel, since God’s Holy Spirit is not teaching and training their spirits to fulfill His just, loving Law.

Late in the seventh century, faithful Jews like Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and their friends saw their people begin to syncretize Babylonian traditions with biblical teachings. And they definitely knew something was very wrong with that. Although they did not have a name for what they saw, and could not identify it as the development of the Satanic religion of humanism, they knew it was evil and would produce nothing but lies, sins and death. So they began to pray fervently and God spoke to their spirits, revealing what was happening in illustrative visions and figurative words they could partially comprehend. So they wrote down exactly what God showed them, and the concepts He revealed to the minds of their spirits, in the phenomenological language we read in these prophecies. But now that we look back on what they wrote, with the hindsight of another 2600 years of history behind us, and many aspects of their prophecies already fulfilled, as well as with languages that can better identify and define what they figuratively described, we can unpack much information from it.

Their valley represented a spiritually low place. The people were inwardly dead, scattered, dry bones. The bones were the inner persons, their spirits without the waters and life-building power of God’s Holy Spirit to provide flesh and animation to the silenced, suppressed, spiritual structures in them. In every way, the individuals and the body of God’s priesthood of Israel had become a useless relic of a past radiating with the brightness of prophets and God’s face upon them. For God created this priesthood to become a light to the entire world, to proclaim His truths and reflect His kind of just, equitable love everywhere on the dark earth. Yet God’s priesthood would not lie dead forever.

This hopeful prophecy immediately follows another (36:22-38). And both prophecies say that God had always intended to revive His natural priesthood, inside and out, through a lengthy process of returning them to their land where He would revive and cleanse their hearts. In this prophecy, God figuratively portrayed the spiritual condition of His people as dry bones, because they lived only through the religious practices of their flesh, not by allowing God to pour His truths into their spirits. And they would remain in that condition until the end times, until just before the Messiah returns to revive and rule Israel and the world. But, although it is impossible for anyone to save themselves, or to even realize one is inwardly dead and needs God, the Messiah’s Holy Spirit will surely save them.

The Jews were to be inwardly dead, lying in a low, depressing state. They were to be a people continuously stripped of hope, strength, dignity, faith, zeal and inner life, until after they returned to their land and after their spirits could once more hear the words of Yahweh. And their salvation was not to happen through their own wills of their own flesh, as humanistic human gods, never through a more zealous practice of their man-made traditions. In fact, not even their own dry, dead, suppressed spirits could will this salvation upon themselves, although their spirits could begin to submit to the Spirit of God, admit that they are but infantile human beings, then enter into the Sabbath rest of letting the Holy Spirit of the one God do His work as their Father and oldest Brother inside them.

When all the earth thought it was impossible for the “dry bones” to live again, Ezekiel did not give up hope. For, when God asked him if they could be revived, he said, “O Lord Yahweh, You know!” Ezekiel had faith in the love and power of God to make life where there was no life, for Yahweh had created all life, in heaven and on earth. And how did God tell Ezekiel to begin this process of restoring life to Israel? God commanded Ezekiel to prophecy to those dry bones, to utter the true concepts which He would pour into Ezekiel’s spirit, to speak God’s revelations to the ears of His

people. For it is the Word from God which makes death live. The flesh lives on bread and cannot live without the spirit. But the spirit needs the bread of the spiritual realm to live, not the bread made of temporary perceptions of physical time and space. And that bread of heaven is God’s teaching and training for the spirit, the Word of God spoken according to His will and made real with His power.

The restoration of the “dry bones” was to be through their Messiah, their God walking among them in a body of flesh. Some elect Jews would become abundantly alive not long before Jesus returned, but all the other elect Jews would surely and truly become alive at the moment Jesus set His foot on the Mount of Olives. So Ezekiel prophesied, “O dry bones, hear the word of Yahweh!” Somehow, their humanistic thoughts believed that they did hear God, by causing their mouths of flesh to mindlessly repeat the Scriptures that their minds of flesh memorized, even in the “holier” language of the flesh called Hebrew. And they believed they even obeyed God’s words by tucking small fragments of His words into phylacteries worn on their hands and foreheads of flesh. But the words of the real God are not spoken in languages of the flesh, and fulfilling His words begins inside, as the spirit responds to the concepts that the Holy Spirit of the Creator Spirit pours into a spirit’s mind.

And their Creator God walking among them in a body of flesh, their Savior and Messiah, had come once already to them. But, as always, their God came to them as a Teacher of their spirits, even as the High Priest and King of all elect spirits upon the earth. Jesus came to make disciples of infantile elect spirits in both Jews and Gentiles, as He had done with the Gentile He named Abraham, the father of elect Jews and Gentiles. The true King came to serve their spirits, not to become a human despot demanding physical rituals to bring physical glory to himself. Those humanistic Jews got everything all wrong. Their Messiah and God would not be another humanist like Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus, Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon or any of the other murderers of innocent siblings in the family of humankind. Rather, their God and Messiah would come to teach truth and wisdom, principles of loving and equitable justice which could be applied to build up life in all His creations, while also suppressing the lies and sins which stole life and ruined the trust that love is built upon. But those “dry bones” did not understand this when He came to them the first time. So they called upon a humanistic secular Roman despot to have their Messiah crucified, then place all their hope upon a Jewish humanistic hierarchy, which they tried to build through humanistic terrorism and violence, for their glory of their humanistic rabbis. So they remained “dry bones” to this very day, but for a purpose that God would reveal in the coming end times, when He will open the eyes of their spirits.

The vision God gave to Ezekiel accurately describes how the Jewish people lived from times long before Jesus’ first advent, during the entire time of their Babylonian captivity, until they began to flee to Israel during the European pogroms and other persecutions. They have remained “dry bones” all this time because their humanistic rabbis only taught rule upon rule from thoroughly physically oriented minds of flesh, which suppressed the minds of their spirits. Their rabbis nullified the real spiritual intent of God’s Law, while forbidding the Spirit of God to guide the minds of their spirits. They invented countless physical Sabbath laws for the flesh alone, forbidding God’s real intent for His Sabbaths, which was to rest from the works of the flesh, to do His loving works through the minds of their spirits. They developed multitudes of detailed regulations for the mikvah (baptism) to distract from its real purpose, which was to remember God’s ability to cleanse their hearts, with the spiritual waters of His Holy Spirit in heaven. They made rules about possessions, according to humanistic concepts of a human god’s fictitious ability to “own” things, forgetting God’s possession of all men and all that exists, and neglecting to distribute all according to God’s loving will. Their focus on the flesh always suppressed the minds of their spirits, which is the main purpose of Satan’s religion of humanism. But they could not see this obvious fact. Yet they will understand this soon.

However, the Jews never forgot God’s promise to bring the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob back to the physical land of Israel. Every year, at every Passover Seder, they would say it may be celebrated in Jerusalem next year, with hope in their hearts. For that was one hope which the fleshy false religion of humanism could not take from them. And that too was God’s plan, to keep them remembering that they lived for a higher calling. Most could not comprehend exactly what that return to Israel actually would involve. They could not envision the spiritual purposes of God, to fight a spiritual warfare against spiritual lies and delusions which were destroying them and the entire world. Nevertheless, the Jews have set their eyes on the land of Israel for almost 2600 years.

Other prophecies remind us that God only allowed Jacob’s descendants to return to Israel after the Gentiles had made the land desolate and barren, underpopulated and dry, after its farmland and vineyards were destroyed, after all the old cities had become abandoned ruins. So that was an apt description of their promised by the 19th century, but also of the spiritual state of natural Israel before Zionism, before they began to return to their land. Before Zionism, the faith of the Jewish people had become even more corrupted than it was when Jesus came the first time. For, right at the beginning of the 19th century, the extremely humanistic Napoleon and his French Revolution led the Jews even deeper into the concepts of human esteem and the power of a “free will” to save oneself and others.

The faith of the Jewish people became nothing but rules, empty myths and superstitions. Worse yet, after secular humanism inundated Europe and the world with the help of the Napoleonic wars, many newly emancipated Jewish people became slaves of Satan’s world order in a different way, by abandoning their faith altogether in order to serve human gods in human hierarchies. Most were trapped in the religion of Napoleon, which was soon to become the religion of Hitler and will also become the religion of Satan’s future beast as well. Very many Jews became secular humanists in the 19th century, just as God began to return them to their land. Nevertheless, that secularization of the Jewish people became the principal factor enabling the Jewish people to return to their land, and played a more critical role in their ability to purchase those lands from the Muslim Ottoman Empire.

After the Ottoman Empire fell at the end of the first World War, the increased number of Jewish immigrants in Israel had to deal with the mostly antisemitic British. Very soon after that, in the 1920’s and 30’s, the Muslims immigrants, who came to labor in the improving conditions of Israel, also began to be influenced by their jealous Muslim leaders, who did not like their captive Muslim people becoming so friendly with the Jews. Many of their Muslim leaders strove to drive their dupes back into their despotic kingdoms, but were failing. Thus, some of their Muslim leaders went to Germany, to consult the rising power of Hitler and his fascists, who were gaining success in their efforts against the Jews. So those fascists taught the Muslim leaders to do basically the same things they still do to this day. They learned how to more effectively lie to the people, to make them think the Jews were somehow inferior and parasitic. They rewrote history to slander the Jews, published antisemitic propaganda like the Protocols of Zion in the languages of the people, and did everything they could to take back the rebuilt cities and desolate land which the Jews had now made fertile and productive. So, in the 20th century, the Jews in Israel experienced even worse troubles and hardships than they did when they first returned to their desolate land in the 19th century. Terrorism and wars have plagued Israel to this day, just as the prophecies said they would when Israel began to return.

But through it all, facing impossible odds against them, Israel became a recognized sovereign nation in 1948. So “the bones came together, bone to its bone,” at last. This disjointed and scattered people, where each sect wore a different hat, became one people after Hitler’s Holocaust. The bones or core inner structure of each individual Jew in Israel began to join together, as each relearned their ancient language of Hebrew and formed a somewhat biblical democracy. Of course, their chosen leaders

Page 423

were not all those whom God chose for them. They did not choose men like Moses, Samuel and David. But, in time, they will. In the end, they will even choose the Son of David, their Messiah.

In time, all the elect remnant of Jews in Israel and around the world will zealously, willingly and lovingly serve their Messiah, just as Jews and Gentiles did in the apostolic church during the first century. They will discover that nothing but a just and God-like love can ever gratify their hearts’ desires, and will begin to know who they truly are, as their spirits begin to know their God and renew their relationship with Him. Jewish individuals began to gain an inner spiritual identity, albeit still merely ragged and tattered bones with only a little flesh on it, when they saw their land of Israel once more placed into their own hands. And before that, their inner identities were lost and almost non-existent, beaten down, fragmented, confined to idiosyncratic synagogue influences as they toiled under the oppressive condemnation of antisemitic Gentiles. All they had were a few grains of dust to offer to God, while they sacrificed their entire lives to the service of Mammon for their own survival.

A communion between the very widely varied individual Jews and their small groups increased exponentially during the 19 th th and 20 centuries. This was partially due to improved transportation and communication, which made for a shrinking world. But even that was due to the circumstances which God was working in the world. God was behind this increasing unity among the Jews. It was ultimately because God’s caused a change in the state of the world, to prepare for its judgment, that the hearts of the Jews, as the people of God, were joining together to form their identity as God’s people. Now there could be no Jews of Judah or Jews of Ephraim, nor any other faction. Individual Jews, though still a people without spirits serving God through their flesh, began to share ideas and resources to alleviate the sufferings of their Jewish brothers and sisters all over the world. And this is God’s work. God used these loving works to educate their spirits, to disciple their spirits under Him.

Of course, many problems and numerous bitter conflicts remained between various Jewish groups and individuals during their return, and still exist today. And, from the beginning of the Zionist movement, God was making their overall physical situation grow worse and worse, culminating in the Nazi holocaust. But even that great tragedy forced them to draw together even more, so that each individual Jewish spirit grew “bone to its bone,” with every more of the flesh that serves God. Now they need “breath.” And, as an ecclesiastical term, the “breath of life” always represents the spirit of life from God, the part of an elect human being which loves, hates and differentiates between good and evil. And that is also a process of individual development which God is working in the hearts of the Jews, both in Israel and around the world. Jews are questioning everything they learned from their humanistic invaders, from Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome. Now more and more elect Jews are seeking God’s kind of prophesied spiritual love, and long for His works of true equitable justice.

In Ezekiel’s vision, God gathered each Jewish individual’s scattered dry bones into a framework to support that one’s inner and spiritual identity, “bone to its bone,” able to function as a body. Then he saw “sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them. But there was no breath in them” (37:8). When God added the muscles, internal organs and skin, an individual’s bones could effectively work to build cities and cultivate lands in their nation. Also, since each had skin, each could recognize one another as a unique individual, as well as feel realities like heat, cold, pain and pleasure. But, without the “breath” or spirit of life, they could not yet love as God loves, nor learn enough knowledge and wisdom to rightly discern between good and evil. And without that kind of ability, they would not be able to live in ways that pleased God, nor work His true justice.

While Israel was building up their land in Israel before they became a nation, Jews all over the world were becoming an identifiable, communicating people and gaining much respect. They were no

longer strange outsiders who refused to assimilate with the masses, nor seen as subhuman entities to be despised and owned by Gentile lords, as they had been seen in earlier years. Together, the Jewish people achieved political, cultural and economic power in the world, which also helped each Jewish person realize his or her own personal identity. Yes, their power was very small, compared to other political, military, economic and religious powers in the world. And it still is small, now that they have their nation. But it is growing and they have also gained powerful allies. As a people who were developing a homeland and an identity, Jews were becoming somewhat more like they were in biblical times. And it was indeed the biblical times, with God’s dissemination of their Old and New Covenant Scriptures, which kept their hope for their homeland and longing for an identity alive.

By the time of the first world war, politicians in the United States and in other lands became less inclined to offend the now more united Jewish people, lest those Jews, or powerful individual Jewish persons, might turn away votes from those politicians—not just the votes of the Jews, but also votes of the Gentile Christians who also watched and supported the Jewish cause. Jews, as a loosely united people, were able to cause political and economic success or damage to their leadership. This had never happened in any land to that extent since Rome had taken them captive in the second century.

At the same time, we must realize that God has not yet restored the “breath” of natural Israel. The Jews with elect spirits did not yet receive a true, faithful, godly life from their Father in heaven. For God had promised to leave their hearts hardened until the full number of Gentiles had entered into His priesthood of Israel (Rom. 11:25). For the salvation that He promised to Abraham was for all the elect of the world, where both Jews and Gentiles would serve their Creator God in all His wise, just loving ways. Yes, the Jews were appointed to a unique priestly ministry, which specialized in many symbolic and physical tasks involving hospitality and warfare against Satan’s religion of humanism. But the Gentile elect were to primarily focus on the spiritual truths and principles of salvation, as the Holy Spirit of Jesus personally taught and trained their spirits. Gentiles would also partake in the other tasks that the Jewish priesthood specialized in, but the Jewish priesthood would do them best.

So the natural priesthood of the Jewish Israel has not yet arrived at the prophesied completion of their return to their homeland. But their almighty Messiah and God is coming soon to judge the entire earth. And Jesus will pour out His wrath upon Satan’s unjust world-wide religion of humanism during the eras of the sixth and seventh seals. After the sixth seal’s devastation provides a rest from the world powers, a true revival of God’s truth poured out into His Jewish and Gentile elect servants will indeed impart the “breath” and spirit of abundantly just and loving life to both. Then we see the prophecy granted to Ezekiel nearing its completion. But, even then, it will not be entirely fulfilled until Jesus returns. Then all the might of heaven’s infinite power will grant repentance to literally all the elect spirits of the entire remnant of Jacob’s descendants, so all will serve Him in spirit and truth.

As we look at these prophecies, we will hear many deceivers undermining faith in what they say, by telling us that the prophecies contradict one another or have proven false. And many love to say that the prophets merely wrote about what their emotional minds of flesh desired. But that is all a lie. The biblical definition of a prophecy, confirmed by the all prophets, is a proclamation of concepts which God commands His servant to give to another party (e.g., Deut. 18:18-22). So a prophecy is not “inspired preaching” from the minds of men, because it is not “inspired” by God, nor is it mere preaching. Rather, a prophecy is God’s compelling command given to a prophet’s spirit, in which God specifies that the prophet must convey a message to a particular person or group of people. And God’s message might be spoken words, written words, visual illustrations, symbolic actions or some other thing representing whatever information God compels the spirit of that prophet to provide for someone. Furthermore, all prophecies are from God, who cannot make mistakes. So there is never a

Page 425

Last Days Timeline

 

mistake about a past or future detail in any prophecy. And God’s power invariably causes all of the future events revealed in His prophecies, precisely in the way He revealed them. Or, rather, God has already caused those future events at the beginning of earthly time. For we must realize that God created the entire future of the earth, down to the last second of its existence, when He created time. And literally all the past still exists as well. All the past and all the future exist simultaneously and God sees it all at once. God was the Creator of it all, the Designer and Planner who predestined it all.

Now I know it is difficult for human spirits to continuously experience perceptions of the flow of earthly time, then try to grasp the fundamental reality that literally all earth’s past and future times now exist within one moment of non-linear, non-material time in God’s mind, in a far more real and concrete eternal spiritual space-time continuum. Even though science is now providing massive amounts of empirical evidence proving this is true, most do not believe it. In fact, although humans experience all perceptions of material time and space solely and entirely through the minds of their non-material spirits, they are the only living entities which can become so deluded that they often believe their perceived flesh exists, but their perceiving spirits do not exist. However, God’s elect must be grounded in realities and know that they can trust their Creator God when He grants His honest, faithful, spiritually awake prophets a message for us. And those concepts from our reliable God are ultimately for the good of our spirits, even when they pertain to physical events on earth.

God can also take a prophet into any time and place in the past or future physical world, or into a figurative representation of it, and even into His created spiritual realm of the third heaven. He can reveal anything He wants to our spirits, although He limits His revelations to that which our infantile spirits can handle at the levels of our maturity, and according to the education each wants or needs, in order to develop into the kind of child God created each to become. So each prophet will reveal different details about the future, depending on the spiritual interests, character and propensities of that individual, and what God felt that he could handle. Then each prophet’s own unique figurative and ecclesiastical language may make it difficult for us to comprehend what he means. Nevertheless, we can unpack and harmonize all the prophecies of Scripture to glean substantial information about the future, all of which shall be extremely helpful to us. And this counsel shall not fail. Also, some of these prophecies may be useful for our physical survival, but that is basically irrelevant. For what we actually need to learn from them is spiritual and moral. That is, when the end times come, it will not matter how much we physically provide for ourselves. Rather, we will not survive if we do not learn to love one another in a just, equitable way, as a united people who work together for the good of all.

In Ezekiel’s prophecies, God told the human spirits of elect Jews, in advance, that He will grant each one a true, godly, loving abundant life worked by a renewed, just and loving spirit in each of them, and they will all work together as one people for God, to serve all His creations. For Ezekiel used the singular form of the word “breath,” which obviously referred to the spirit of life. So one “breath” or spirit will be quickened in each individual. And the many Jewish spirits will come from all four winds, from everywhere in every direction on earth. Descendants of Jacob, all speaking different languages and all familiar with different cultures, will soon become one people, one united and devoted priesthood of God, spontaneously serving Him through their love for Him in their spirits, as the one body of Israel. So, when each of the Gentiles come to Israel, each from a different culture and with a different language, the Jewish priesthood that God has gathered around Him will be able to minister to each Gentile in a way that each can comprehend and relate to. Do we realize how this will be critical for the world? Yet Gentiles are petty and jealous about the fact that Jews will become a special kind of priesthood for Jesus in Israel, a priesthood in charge of hospitality and defense. But could any other people on earth possibly be as qualified to serve the capital city and nation of Jesus?

Shouldn’t the elect Gentiles have grown weary and disgusted over the incessant of false, antisemitic doctrines in their churches by now? Almost every church today proclaims some variant of the highly antisemitic Replacement Theology, either disguised or overt. And even Messianic Jewish churches are full of reactionary doctrines to counter Replacement Theology, which transforms them into weird forms of hybrid Old and New Covenant anomalies. So can we now simply try to focus on more fully comprehending these prophecies, seeing what they are actually telling us and why God wants us to know this information, so we can prepare for the worst times in the entire history of the world, for the end times? What we need is for our spirits to learn these truths, so we can become a fruitful and useful people of God, to nullify works of the devil and build up God’s just, loving kingdom on earth.

There will come a day when all the spirits of an elect remnant of Jews in Israel and around the world will be awake and serving the one Creator God, each according to the truths one personally receives from Jesus’ Holy Spirit. Ezekiel prophesied: “Thus says the Lord [Yahweh]: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live” (37:9b, ESV). Then he said, “So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, and exceedingly great army. Then He said to me, ‘Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel” (37:10-11, ESV). Clearly, if this is “the whole house of Israel” existing from the time of their Babylonian captivity until the end times, who then “lived” again, this is not referring to a resurrection of physically dead bodies. Rather, it refers to God’s quickening of their human spirits.

Since God commanded each “breath” to “come from the four winds,” and all four of those winds are upon the earth, from every direction on the earth, we cannot possibly define each “breath” as the Spirit of God. On the other hand, each “breath” is clearly a good and godly spirit entering each individual, since a figurative “breath” and a “wind” refers to a “spirit” in ecclesiastical references like this. The word here translated as “breath” is ruach, a Hebrew word that is also translated as “spirit” in many other Old Covenant texts. And, in context, this “breath” must be a spirit, since it gives life to these bodies, causing them to stand on their feet. For, no matter how much physical air anyone “breathes” into a dead body, that body will not come to life. Only a spirit imparts real life.

The Bible states that the spirit of every living being is the only part which is able to animate it, to causes the physical body and brain to function, just as this “breath” will cause all these bodies to function. Or, if the spirit leaves the body, the body of flesh stops functioning, dies and rots until it is nothing but dry bones or dust. But these dry bones were inside Israel already, before these spirits of life entered them. Thus, Ezekiel is not talking about dry bones of physical bodies. Rather, he must be referring to something which is not the spirit and also not the physical body of flesh. Since Ezekiel prophesied that each individual human spirit of life will come from every direction on earth, but not directly from heaven, to enter its own dry bones in Israel, but these dry bones represented Jews already in Israel, who will all actually already have human spirits, these dry bones must represent something that is not a physical body, not their spirits, but something that each Jews already has in the land of Israel. And it also means that their spirits had remained in a dry, dead state before the end times would see them come alive and willing to serve in God’s army. Thus, these dry bones must be something like the universal physical support that Jews around the world give to the land of Israel.

So this prophecy might suggest a scenario where we will see Jews from around the world sending their financial and political support to Israel during or just prior to the end times, much like many Jews have been doing for more than a century. Those resources will sit in Israel without effectively doing the works that God desires them to do, but will be used for works which God either forbids or does not fully endorse. So those physical resources will be like dry bones, representing dead works of their flesh. Then God will quicken the spirits of many elect Jews around the world, reveal Himself

and His purposes for Israel to their hearts, and cause very many Jews of the Diaspora, from almost everywhere on earth, to go to the land of Israel. God will fill their spirits with zeal for their Him, for their people and for their land. Their hearts will be ready and willing to build up and fight for Israel. Thus, God will form them into “an exceedingly great army” (Hebrew = chayil, “strength, efficiency, wealth, army”). These Jews will not only engage in physical warfare with the beast and other enemies but, far more importantly, will build up the spiritually just love in their land, by nullifying Jewish and Gentile deceivers who remain in their land, to prepare Israel’s elect for their Messiah.

Each spirit provides an identity and life to its body of flesh. Since each spirit from the “four winds,” from everywhere on earth, will make these Jewish bodies stand in the land of Israel, they will not only become animated, but take on an identity of servants of God, as “an exceedingly great army” of God who defeats great enemies in spiritual and physical wars. When Israel became a nation in 1948, its “breath” already came from the four winds, from all over the world, into individual Jews from the north, south, east and west. But we cannot really say that those Jewish spirits were true servants of God, although very many were indeed elect Jews. They were animated with a shared desire to keep their people and homeland alive. But they were not truly alive the way God described this “army” to Ezekiel: “I will put My Spirit within [them], and [they] shall live in [their] own land. Then [they] shall know that I am [Yahweh]” (37:14, ESV). For, to this day, most Israelis are either secular or theistic humanists, not biblical worshipers of Yahweh. So this “breath” must come to the Diaspora’s Jews, and gather them to Israel, later. Very many Jews in the Diaspora, although not quite a majority, will be filled with the Holy Spirit and go to Israel sometime before Jesus returns, likely in the sixth seal’s era, when the revival of the Jewish and Gentile elect occurs. And these Jews, together with the converted Muslim nations around them, will war against the Roman beast in the seventh seal’s era.

These prophecies are often cryptic, and many become confused by them, especially if they interpret them through the false doctrines of antisemitic humanistic teachers. But, once we cast aside those false teachings as much as we possibly can, and learn a little humility, along with some true history and some of the Judea-Christian ecclesiastical language, we can start to see what the prophecies are saying. Then, some of what we derive from them might seem like mere speculations, but numerous very consistent and harmonized patterns in those prophecies do confirm some of the interpretations we are not certain about, even while they also disprove others. Therefore, if we continue to diligently harmonize all the prophecies about the last days and end times, through this somewhat difficult and tedious iterative process, we can gain a solid understanding of what has already occurred throughout the history of the world, why it occurred, and all that we need to know to survive in the future days.

And, from all that I can see in all these prophecies, both the Gentile and Jewish elect in the entire world now need to prepare for the future, for the generation of the end times, because none seem to be prepared at all. That one generation, born during the era of the sixth seal or just prior to it, will see about forty years of the worst times in the entire history of the world, just before Jesus returns. And that generation may even be this very next generation, some of the children already born. Some who are alive today may experience the devastation of the end times and witness the Messiah descending upon the earth. Yet, as far as I can see, neither the Gentile or Jewish elect are even close to being ready. Most seem to be materialistic, dull and dry bones, without the just, equitable love of God’s Holy Spirit working through them. This has got to change, and very soon. Even today, the very first thing the elect must do is humble their proud flesh and pray directly from their spirits, allowing God’s Spirit to pour His truths into their hearts for their repentance. Then they need to respond and do whatever just and loving works God calls each one’s spirit to do, in order to nullify the lying and destroying works of Satan, while also building up God’s united, just, loving kingdom on the earth.

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

When God commanded a prophet’s spirit to proclaim a concept, God would reveal it to the spirit of the prophet, but almost never to the prophet’s flesh. So the prophet’s mind of the spirit had to meet with his mind of flesh in the soul, then translate the concept into a human language of the flesh, so his body could physically utter or write down the concept in a language which the flesh of God’s intended audience could comprehend. And we are the prophet’s audience. Thus, our minds of flesh bring the prophet’s human language back to our spirits in our souls, so our spirits can translate those words back into the original spiritual concept granted by God to the prophet’s spirit. Then, if there is anything lost in the translation, through the differences in linguistic, cultural, historical or religious context of the human language, we need to find out what those differences are and strive to correct those errors. After we have done all this, to the best of our ability, we then need to let our spirits hear what God has to say to our spirits about the concept, because it came from Him. And His Holy Spirit will teach us about it in the minds of our spirits, then harmonize it with all the concepts from other prophets. But God is a Spirit and will only do this in the minds of our spirits, where our thinking and memory is far more reliable than our minds of flesh. So all of this is ultimately a work of our spirits.

Right now, I see very few truly spiritual interpretations of the Scriptures, although God gave us all those words for our spirits alone, and often so that our spirits can help our flesh survive too. Some theologians and preachers use their minds of flesh to derive some very scholarly and innovative interpretations, and convey some eloquent and imaginative concepts from the Scriptures. But the vast majority of these are strictly carnal, from the emotions in their minds of flesh, and are not truly spiritual at all. They and their audiences may like to say they are “spiritual,” but they simply are not of the spirit or for the spirit. Nor are they harmonized into true wisdom and understanding by God’s own Holy Spirit, but are merely a contradicting, unhelpful and vain mass of utterly trite nonsense.

We now need to get these prophecies right, because the end times are coming. And, to do this, it will take many elect souls laboring alone and together in one mind, through the prayers and worship of their honest and open spirits in truth. We need to begin this work now, because we have not actually received many truly spiritual and God-approved interpretations of the Scriptures from the churches and synagogues up to this time, not for almost two thousand years. We have come to “the time of the end,” when a knowledge of the truth will increase, as Daniel prophesied (12:4). So this is the day when we see some gain the knowledge and wisdom of God, although some will not. “Many will purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined, but the wicked will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand” (Dan. 12:10, WEB).

Recently, I have seen the churches and synagogues fall into horrifying errors, even into the same kind of fascist delusions which the demonic beast will proclaim when he covers his land and his non-elect worshipers with darkness. Then the damned racism, antisemitism and class systems of that beast’s Roman humanism are everywhere too, even especially in the fake churches. On the other hand, I have also been hearing the small, still voice of God’s Holy Spirit speaking to the spirits of His elect everywhere on earth too. When those awakening elect speak, they are not big, bragging and leading screaming crowds to demand obedience. But those elect are effective, because their truths are nullifying the works of Satan, and are building up the just, equitable, loving kingdom of God on earth. “Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already” (John 4:35, WEB). “The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that He may send out laborers into His harvest” (Luke 10:2, WEB). Let the elect spirits, who long to love upon a solid foundation, hear and harvest with the sickle of truth.

In Ezekiel’s prophecy, God describes the state of His natural priesthood of Israel, the Jews, in the sixth-century BC, more than two millennia before this prophecy would begin to be fulfilled. They

dwelt in small groups of extremely isolated and persecuted individuals scattered throughout the known world, and continued to do so, until recently. But, even in the lifetimes of Ezekiel, Jeremiah and Daniel, about a third of the Jews still lived in Israel, and stayed there for about seven centuries, until Rome expelled the vast majority of them after the Bar Kokhba Revolt (AD 132-135). After that, almost all the Jews lived in Gentile nations until the 19th century, in a Diaspora which spread to all the inhabited continents on earth. There, each group or synagogue of Jews developed its own unique culture, traditions and doctrines. Then each individual’s life in each small group was torn between the demands of one’s people and the life-threatening demands of Gentile lords. Individuals were so beaten down and torn apart inside that they often felt utterly hopeless, like dried up bones without flesh or spirit. And they all wondered how they could possibly be the chosen people of God, the people destined to serve God through their Messiah, when they were treated like subhuman beings.

Now many elect Gentiles feel almost the same, though few have suffered the dehumanization, persecutions and trials of the Jews, not as an identifiable people. Yet those Gentile elect are actually being dehumanized, persecuted and suffering trials now, from both secular and theistic humanists all over the world, together with the true elect Jews. Make no mistake about this. None of the Jewish or Gentile elect should grow complacent and careless about their spiritual welfare. But also remember, in time, God commanded, “Behold, I will open your graves and raise you from your graves, O My people. And I will bring you into the land of Israel.” Then God actually did this. And this return began long before God’s Holy Spirit was going to enter them, before they realized God was actually doing this. Their final salvation is already at work, although most elect Jews have not recognized what it is and the eternal destiny reserved for them. And it is the same for most of the Gentile elect.

Nevertheless, the Jewish people finally began to become one people in the 19th century, then rose up as an animated body of people, as a nation in the 20th century. Of course, Jesus’ prophesied return to Israel, with His final salvation gift of His Holy Spirit for all the remnant elect Jews, to make them His priests, has not yet come. Nor has the prophesied complete return of literally all the Jews to their land, not until Jesus returns. So this is merely a work in progress. But it is not like other incomplete works. Rather, this is a predestined work of God and cannot fail, even if God somehow wanted it to fail, since the almighty God cannot oppose His own words. So, when we see all that was prophesied now happening, and in the order God said that it would, we know all the other prophesied events will occur as well. This is not a test to see if we will choose to make it happen through some kind of “free will.” This is happening and will happen, whether we like it or not. And now, if anyone has an elect spirit, it is time to let one’s spirit to hear and heed the Holy Spirit of God, no matter what happens.

A large part of Ezekiel’s prophecy about the valley of dry bones has been fulfilled at last. Now we are still waiting for the last promise, where God said, “And I will put My Spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land.” That part will be fulfilled on the day Jesus returns. All the surviving elect Jews will repent to Jesus and He will put His Holy Spirit in them on that day. God’s Spirit will dwell with their spirits, so they may serve as His priests. Then all the rest of the Jews on earth shall gradually will return to their homeland—one or two from a family here, and one or two from a family there, a few at a time over many years during the millennium of Christ’s rule of the earth from Israel. Then God also told Ezekiel that He would join the northern and southern tribes of Israel into one people during this process of returning them to their land, which was a work of God that Ezekiel longed to see. But Ezekiel did not even begin to comprehend the divisions of the Jews that we have seen, both before and after they became a nation, many of which still exist to this day. Their traditions, cultures, languages, skin colors and many other superficial things kept them apart. But, more and more over the decades, they are becoming one Jewish people over all the earth.

The northern and southern tribes of Israel split early in the ninth century BC, although some from the northern tribes migrated to Judah at that time as well. Then, in 722 BC, the Assyrians started taking many from the northern tribes of Israel into captivity, and repopulated Israel’s northern lands with Gentiles who mingled with and married into the northern tribes. So the northern tribes separated from the southern tribes even more at that time. By the time of Ezekiel, in the sixth century BC, the north and the south were far apart and, in fact, hated each other. This strife continued well past the time of the apostles. But, over the past couple of centuries, all the tribes have begun to unite again.

Now Jews still differentiate between the northeaster European Ashkenazi and southern Sephardic Jews; secular and religious Jews; orthodox, reform and conservative religious Jews, and so on. Then these divisions wax and wane over time. But, in general, those differences are becoming far less important to the carnal lives of the Jews than they ever were before, because they have had to face so many tribulations together. After they began to return to the land in the 19 th century, less distinction could be made between the factions, for the sake of survival. And now distinctions between Judah and Israel are not only genetically difficult, but also irrelevant, since the Jews as a whole have been attacked from every side and are forced to unite against their common enemies. For their enemies do not differentiate between the different factions of Jews. Thus, in a way, the irrational and ignorant antisemitic biases of their enemies, who are all too lazy to make discriminating judgments based upon the guilt or innocence of specific individuals or groups, is binding the Jews into one people.

So, when God’s work is done, all the Jews on earth will be one united people and all will return to the land of Israel, to serve their God and Messiah, just as Ezekiel prophesied. But Ezekiel does not make it clear whether the final return of the Jews, after their first return to build the cities and restore the farmland, will be one brief event or a long process. To understand how they will all return in the end, we must harmonize this prophecy with other prophecies of Scripture. We must not simply invent a private or denominational interpretations based on idle speculations. And if we harmonize Ezekiel’s prophecy with other Scriptures, we find that the return of the Jews will be a long, extended process. As Ezekiel implied, their return will begin many years before they are to be purified of all false Jews and false teachings, long before the return of their Messiah. Then, after a great tribulation during the end times, Jesus will return and gather Jews into Israel a few at a time, until all live there.

Ezekiel simply states that “one King shall be King over them all,” and indicates that this King or Messiah will rule over all of the united Jews at an indeterminate time after they begin to return to their land, and after they repent by being filled with the Holy Spirit. This inner repentance to Jesus will begin their cleansing of their spirits in their hearts, as their salvation from sin. God said: “I will take the people of Israel from the nations … bring them to their own land … make them one nation in the land … and one King shall be King over them … they shall not defile themselves anymore with their [human] idols … I will save them from all the backslidings … cleanse them; and they shall be My people and I will be their God” (Ezek. 37:21,22,23, ESV). God’s last promises, to make the Jews His people and to make Himself their God, are the two principal salvation promises of the New Covenant. And, when God identifies their King as “My Servant, David” (v. 24), He refers to the Messiah of all the prophecies in the Bible. So this prophecy is saying that, when the Messiah returns to Israel, all Jews will enter into the New Covenant relationship with God through Him. And, since there is no way to identify the legitimate heir of David’s throne today, after the genealogical temple records were destroyed in AD 70, yet we know that not even Jesus’ enemies denied that He was the legitimate heir to David’s throne, then Jesus is that Messiah, God’s Servant descended from David.

One major sign of the Messiah, which all who claim to be the Messiah must prove, is this sign in this prophecy of Ezekiel, and in many other Messianic prophecies. That major sign that the Messiah will

Page 431

Last Days Timeline

 

surely be the legitimate heir to the throne of David. If anyone claims to be the Messiah, but cannot prove that he is the true heir to David’s throne, then all Jews will know, with all certainty, that man claiming to be the Messiah is a deceiver. But none can prove that in our day. Also, Daniel prophesied that the “Anointed One” or Messiah would arrive within a total of 69 Sabbath years after a decree to rebuild the second temple and Jerusalem (Dan. 9:25-26), which puts His arrival in the first century. And Isaiah prophesied that this “cutting off” or death of the Messiah would work the redemption or salvation from our sins (Is. 53). Therefore, the time of Messiah’s first arrival, when He will be “cut off” but work the New Covenant salvation relationship for Israel, is long past, and can never occur again in history. So Israel is waiting only for His prophesied return, which is during the end times.

God prophesied this about Israel, after it is united under their Messiah and King: “They and their children and their children’s children shall dwell there forever, and David, My Servant shall be their Prince [Hebrew = nasiy’, or ruler under God, “exalted one, king, captain, chief, ruler, prince, etc.”] forever. I will make a covenant of peace with them. It shall be an everlasting covenant with them” (Ezek. 37:25b-26a, ESV). Jesus truly will be Israel’s King “forever,” not only until the earth ends, but eternally in heaven after that. For the Scriptures indicate that Jesus will gather the spirits of literally all the Jewish and Gentile elect into His one eternal family church of Israel in heaven. All the elect will serve the living beings in His homeland forever, laboring beside Jesus in non-linear times, after our material perceptions pass away. And His created and more real spiritual space-time continuum will not be like this earth. For all the love and all the good things of this earth can only dimly emulate the far greater love and good things of heaven, since all good on earth exists within a sphere of an equal amount of evil. But, once all our spirits are completed and perfected for life in heaven, we will all enter that spiritual space-time continuum, which only allows holy love and good within it. Then all the elect shall work with Jesus and our Father to build up that holy love within its eternal “now.”

And Jesus did not come to nullify God’s Law, which is a shadowy outline of the kind of holy love which shall exist in heaven. Rather, Jesus camp to fulfill God’s Law, to illustrate how its just, wise and loving principles should be applied for the good of all life on earth, even in the same way we shall justly, wisely and lovingly apply that same Law in heaven. For Israel was commanded to express God’s Law in the same way God expressed His own Law, by taking into account each one’s motives and intentions of the spirit, by forgiving the repentant who strove to restore relationships with the victims of their sins through works of atonement, called “the fruits of repentance.” Jesus came to work a complete, full, right, wise, loving obedience to the true intent of His spiritual Law, where our spirits learn to hear and heed His Holy Spirit, then willingly do His will through our joy.

But the elect of the true Israel, as well as all the elect Gentiles on earth, need a King, High Priest and God they can trust before they can even begin to truly fulfill God’s Law. The spirits of the elect need to place utter confidence in their Messiah Jesus and His Holy Spirit, in all the concepts He pours into the minds of their spirits, before they can learn a true, interconnected, harmonious understanding of His Law, then apply it rightly in wise ways—without interference from their little amoral, protesting, greedy, self-serving, egotistical minds of flesh. So this “everlasting covenant” which God will make with both Judah and Israel at sometime in the future, refers to the New Covenant of salvation in the Messiah Jesus. During the entire time after this era of the fifth seal, during the sixth seal’s revival and Christ’s rule on earth, as well as forever in heaven, elect Jews will serve their God as His priests in a New Covenant relationship with Him. This is their hope, and the hope of all elect Gentiles too.

After the Messiah returns to rule Israel as their King and after literally all the remnant of elect Jews on earth enter their New Covenant salvation, God “will set them in their land and multiply them.” So

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

this return of literally all the Jews on earth to their promised land will need to be a relatively long process involving the expansion of their land into the borders God originally promised in the eternal Abrahamic Covenant, which the New Covenant fulfills. Then homes and infrastructures will need to be constructed, farmlands will need to be restored to fertility, and a host of other physical works will need to be done first. Then Jesus will need to call each individual Jew into His land to do a specific kind of task which each elect Jewish spirit has been longing to do, and will do with joy in the heart.

So much inner teaching, training, counseling and preparing of those Jewish individuals will need to be done before Jesus calls them back to their homeland, as well as a vast physical preparations in the land, that we cannot possibly expect an immediate and swift return of literally all the Jewish people on earth to Israel. We could expect a rapid return, if Israel’s king was a stupid, psychopathic human despot, who was willing to sacrifice his loving people for his own glory by forcing their return. But we are talking about a real King, even our just and loving God, who plans all things from beginning to end, who is never willing to make any human sacrifices for His own glory. We are talking about Jesus, who sacrificed His own completely sinless body of flesh for all repentant and unintentional sins of His relatively unloving, carnal and sinful people. This final and eternal King of Israel will ensure that each individual is ready and ecstatically willing to come to Israel when He calls each one, and He will perfectly provide for all the physical needs of each individual Jewish immigrant whom He calls, even in a way that is most conducive to the abundant inner life of that individual.

As mentioned, God’s Law instituted a simple form of democracy for His people, commanding them to choose the authorities whom He had chosen for them (Deut. 17:14-20). Every judging authority over them was to be a thoroughly vetted, humble, honest, loving man who would serve the people for their good. And Israel did have a democracy for about 500 years after the Exodus, with God as their only King, and with judging authorities whom God had chosen. The first was Moses, followed by Joshua, the judges, Samuel, Saul, David and Solomon. Those in Israel who chose to follow the men chosen by God did so, and those who chose to depart from them did so. But most of those chosen authorities sinned in arrogance, and some, like Saul, did not even repent from their sins. Yet many people followed those men into their sins, and did not turn aside from the men who rebelled against God. The people chose to obey the man instead of God, instead of their true King, especially after the days after Samuel, after Israel insisted that their chief judging human authority must also be called a “king,” just like the pagans did. The people obeyed a man rather than God, and refused to call on God to choose a new judging authority over them, whenever one became corrupt. All became respecters of persons, though God was not and forbade such an evil. In time, most of the people called on God at all, neither for a new authority nor for anything else. They relied on corrupt men to invent their laws and judge the innocent as guilty, or raise the guilty to power, to blindly save them.

But Jesus will establish a democracy in Israel where all will choose Him, and none will choose any other authority. For Jesus will prove that He is wise beyond all men, and that He will always apply God’s laws rightly, in ways that correct all wrongs, heal the victims of sins, and restore all that had been lost through sin. Moses was the very first chosen authority over Israel, and he was faithful to his very end. But Jesus will be infinitely better than Moses. And, in Moses’ day, God also chose many other authorities over Israel; the judges of thousands, the judges of hundreds and the judges of tens, as well as a separated priesthood of judges over both the religious and secular affairs of people in the church. But all the administrative ranks of judges under Jesus will be far better than them too.

But, before Jesus returns, Israel will not be so just and loving. For both Ezekiel’s prophecy and other prophecies clearly state that the initial return of Jews to Israel, long before the Messiah comes, will consist of Jews who are apostate and slander God’s name in all the earth. Then the return of many

Page 433

Last Days Timeline

 

other apostate Jews to their land will continue long after that, until the final and complete return of literally all the Jews to Israel after the Messiah Jesus returns to be their King. On the other hand, God also said, “My dwelling place shall be with them” (37:27a), even while they remain apostate, before the time when their King comes to rule Israel during the millennium. And His “dwelling place” refers to the temple in Jerusalem. And other prophecies tell us that the beast, who rules over Satan’s Roman kingdom for seven years before the Messiah returns, will commit the abomination which causes desolation in that same temple. Thus, the temple will exist in the city of Jerusalem for several years, possibly for decades, before Jesus returns. And it will stand for a thousand years after Jesus returns as well, although likely with many renovations and improvements during that time.

So building God’s temple in the exact location that God appointed it to be built, according to the laws of Moses, will also be a part of a process which develops Israel into God’s people. One more temple of God must first be constructed on precisely the same plot of ground where the previous temples stood, since that is the only location on earth where God will ever allow it to be built. All the temples which Israel built during the first and second temple periods were on that same spot, and a third temple period will also begin precisely on that same plot of ground, on the Temple Mount. This third temple will be built before the Messiah returns, then will remain throughout His rule during the millennium. For that temple was also a sign God had given to Israel. The presence of God in His temple indicated that Jerusalem and the promised land would belong to Israel forever, until the earth ends. And His temple represented Him in Jesus’ body, indicating His return to that location as well.

Lastly, remember how Ezekiel repeated the two main promises of the eternal Abrahamic and New Covenants here, the promises that God will be our God and the whole church of Israel shall be His people, both elect Jews and Gentiles in that priesthood. But the prophecies also emphasize that the natural Israel, all the elect physical descendants of Jacob, will be saved into Christ’s New Covenant relationship. Then there were lesser and more physical promises too, namely that the natural Israel would return to their physical land. And the rebuilding God’s temple in Jerusalem is an important aspect of their return, of God’s lesser and more physical New Covenant promises. We must not overlook these lesser promises because they are from God Himself and are highly symbolic. For the Spirit of God gave our spirits these perceptions of bodily flesh, the things on earth which symbolize both good and evil, the lands and houses which become true homes on earth for His children, and the temple which always held His presence, in order to represent Himself in the body of the Messiah. The physical temple was always God’s promise that He, the Creator’s Spirit, will come in the body of a human man to walk in Jerusalem and the land of Israel as their only true King and High Priest.

Since God promised that the Messiah and His temple will both be in the physical land of Israel during the era of the seventh seal, among the Jews, let no Gentile dare to imagine in vain that the Roman Catholic church (or any other church of Gentiles) has ever replaced the Jews, the physical descendants of Jacob. And Rome was prophesied to be the city of Satan’s fourth kingdom, the city of God’s archenemy on earth, never the city of God. The prophecies of Scripture portrayed Rome as the city of the demonic beast and the Great Prostitute. Jerusalem alone was called God’s city, throughout the Bible. And God only ever created one church in all history (i.e., the κυριακοί or “those related to or belonging to the Lord”). God created His one eternal church through His promise or eternal covenant revealed to Abraham (Gen. 17:4-8), then immediately brought Gentiles into that one true church, and continued to bring Gentiles into it throughout history. And, to fulfill that Abrahamic Covenant, God made the eternal New Covenant of salvation through the Messiah only with that one, eternal church of Israel (Jer. 31:31), which included all the elect Gentiles whom God Himself chose from the beginning of time. All God’s earthly priesthood is within that one and only church of Israel.

Men cannot alter or break these eternal covenants of God through their own wills, and any attempt to do so is a great sin. Men are never able to establish any kind of a new church through their fictional “free wills.” Nothing of men can nullify or change the eternal covenant God Himself made when He created His one and only church within the spiritual and material space-time continua which He also created. And, since the New Covenant was made to fulfill the promise of the Abrahamic Covenant, it cannot be made with any other church except God’s one and only church of that original covenant.

When Ezekiel’s prophecy talks about “the nations” learning that the one true God is “Yahweh who sanctifies Israel,” he meant that the Gentiles will also realize that the one true God, the Spirit who created the church of Israel, does personally rule over all the lives and hearts of elect Jews in Israel. And this will include Muslim Gentiles in a wide area around Israel, in the Middle East and Africa, not just white Gentiles. This prophecy was saying that elect Gentiles around the world will also be granted a New Covenant relationship with God through Israel, as His priesthood. And, in the Bible, most Gentiles were brought into Jesus’ tribe of Judah in Israel, the tribe from which we get the term “Jew.” A Jew is a member of the tribe of Judah, and Jesus was a Jew who had Gentiles and Jews as ancestors of His flesh. So the Gentiles who are brought into the true church of Israel will be Jews, and all the antisemitic hatred of the Roman humanists against the Jews, in the Great Prostitute and in the beast’s secular Roman Empire, will be directed against those Gentile Jews in the true church too.

Like the elect of natural Israel, the Gentiles will also be “sanctified,” set apart to labor for the works and purposes of our just, equitable, loving God. Both Jews and Gentiles will be saved from slavery to their sins, and from slavery to their minds of flesh. Countless elect spirits will gradually become more subjectively righteous each day through Jesus, better able to do true works of God each day, just like the Jewish prophets and apostles did through the Holy Spirit of the God of Israel. And the Holy Spirit of God is the Spirit in the Jewish Messiah Jesus, the almighty power in Him. When we step out of the small sphere of Satan’s world order, into the infinite space of God’s created realities, then begin to think and act within that infinite reality, God shall also give us spiritual gifts. But literally all these spiritual gifts will serve one purpose alone, to express God’s just, compassionate, honest, faithful and inwardly healing love to His people. None of these gifts will be mere displays of power to demonstrate God’s approval of any sinner granted these gifts. None are for human glory.

Even now, but certainly after the revival in the sixth seal’s era, God’s infinite power will begin to work through His priesthood of awakened elect spirits, by doing miraculous spiritual works through them. But these gifts, such as prophecy and miraculous healing, will all be done in His name alone, that is, entirely according to His commands and His will. Yes, you will also see false miracles in the false humanistic churches, or even real miracles which God shall allow Satan to perform in order to lead dupes into the worship of human gods and demons. Still, since most elect worship the human gods of false churches, and their minds are trapped in the tiny dark spheres of Satan’s world order, our utterly holy God still refuses to grant His spiritual gifts to the sleeping, lethargic and flesh-ruled spirits of most elect, and will not allow them to serve as His true priests in His name. If the elect are not serving as His priests, and not representing Him to His people nor His people to Him, then they are working against Him, and He cannot work His power through them against Himself. God will only grant His spiritual gifts to His true priests in His church, to awakened elect serving only Him.

So notice that it is Yahweh “who sanctifies Israel,” who separates them, setting them apart from the world order so they might serve Him for His purposes as His priests. This is done by God’s will and through His power. And the “sanctuary” or temple in the midst of Israel will be built soon, likely in the era of the sixth seal, or at the beginning of the era of the seventh seal, when most Jews of the world still remain apostate. For that temple shall be a sign that our Messiah and God will return to

Page 435

Israel, even to that very location in Jerusalem, during the great tribulations of the end times. Then it will be our God Jesus who sanctifies the entire remnant of elect Jews who have not yet repented.

Also, this implies that the temple will be built while many Gentiles oppose its building, particularly the Roman humanists of the beast’s kingdom in Europe. For, if the elect Gentiles trapped among them will only know Yahweh after it is built, it suggests that those Gentiles did not know or realize that Yahweh of Israel was God before the temple was built. The building of the temple, and return of Christ to that temple, will convince the surviving elect Gentiles in the beast’s kingdom that Yahweh is the God of Israel, and that the Jews are indeed His people. So this seems to prophesy some form of antisemitism existing before the temple is built, which other prophecies primarily attribute to the beast’s kingdom and his allies, although there will likely be some elect among them who will repent in the end. Of course, not all Israel is the true, elect, real church of Israel. And not all Gentiles are the elect who will be brought into the true Israel. But, in the end, all the spirits of the elect Gentiles will awaken sometime just before all the spirits of the elect of natural Israel will awake. And all the elect, both those from natural Israel and those from the Gentiles, will then know Yahweh in Jesus Christ.

Ezekiel 39:21-29 (ESV): “And I will set My glory among the nations [i.e., the Gentiles], and

all the nations shall see My judgment that I have executed, and My hand that I have laid on

them. [This particular judgment refers to the one against Gog and Magog at the end of the millennium, a

thousand years after Jesus returns.] The house of Israel shall know that I am [Yahweh] their God,

from that day forward.

“And the nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity,

because they dealt so treacherously with Me that I hid My face from them and gave them into

the hand of their adversaries, and they all fell by the sword. I dealt with them according to

their uncleanness and their transgressions, and hid My face from them. Therefore thus says

the Lord [Yahweh]: Now I will restore the fortunes of Jacob and have mercy on the whole

house of Israel, and I will be jealous for My holy name. They shall forget their shame and all

the treachery they have practiced against Me, when they dwell securely in their land with

none to make them afraid, when I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered

them from their enemies' lands, and through them have vindicated My holiness in the sight of

many nations. Then they shall know that I am [Yahweh] their God, because I sent them into

exile among the nations and then assembled them into their own land. I will leave none of

them remaining among the nations anymore. And I will not hide My face anymore from

them, when I pour out My Spirit upon the house of Israel, declares the Lord [Yahweh].”

The context of the first part of this text is the rebellion of Gog and Magog, which will be discussed later in this book. Gog and Magog likely refer to a region in modern Georgia, but they will come against Israel with armies from Persia (Iran), Cush (Sudan, Ethiopia) and elsewhere, “in the latter years” (38:8), which is actually a thousand years after Jesus returns. So their armies rebel against Jesus and Israel a thousand years after Jesus has killed all the non-elect on the earth, but after Jesus releases Satan onto the earth again. Jesus presumably releases Satan because some form of persistent false beliefs have remained on the earth. So Satan is returned and will sow his non-elect humans on the earth again, so his minions can use those lies to cause a rebellion against Jesus. Then this very overt demonstration of how much harm those false beliefs can do will cause His elect to repent away from those lies and into the truth. And, just before too much physical harm can be done, Jesus will destroy those non-elect. All these events are prophesied within the previous texts written by Ezekiel.

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

The prophecies of Gog and Magog declare that, during the last years of the millennium, there will be massive numbers of murdering non-elect rebels born of Satan, whom God will release at that time (Rev. 20:7-9). That is, since God and Magog will be tribes of human beings, and the devil does his works on earth through his non-elect children, Satan will be allowed to exist on the earth for about forty years at that time, long enough to create, corrupt and coerce many non-elect into rebellion, and also cause some of elect to become apostate enough to ignore those non-elect, while Satan builds up and assists their rebellion against our God Jesus in Jerusalem. Then remember, this rebellion will be allowed by God too, even ultimately caused by Him. So there will be a good purpose for causing our perceptions of physical life on earth is to educate the spirits of His elect. Thus, God must allow this rebellion of Gog and Magog for a purpose related to something which He must teach against some kinds of false doctrines or traditions still existing on earth at that time, which may seem benign and acceptable to many elect, yet produce unjust and harmful effects. Thus, Jesus will illustrate exactly how harmful those effects can be by letting Gog and Magog rebel through their application of those kinds of false doctrines or traditions, until all the elect on the earth fear for their own lives, then fully repent away from those false beliefs. At that moment, Jesus will save the elect from Gog and Magog.

And it seems that Gog and Magog will want to prove the ancient humanistic doctrine that “might makes right.” Most churches today believe this false doctrine to some extent, because they somehow cannot believe that God would allow anyone to gain power unless that one was good enough to be granted that power by God. To them, anyone with power must be a true servant of God. However, the fact remains that God’s gifting of power solely to the worthy only occurs in God’s heavenly home. But, on earth, God commanded us to vet and choose only those whom He has chosen for us. Thus, God will even allow the most evil and psychopathic children of Satan to gain power over us, when we choose evil authorities to rule over us, when He wants to teach us lessons and rebuke us as a rebellious people who ignore His counsel and insist on remaining ignorant and unjust. On earth, lies can exist, and God will let an evil power to rise up in order to punish a stubborn and deluded people who refuse to repent into the truth. Likewise, God will even sometimes make His most awakened, faithful elect, like the prophets and apostles, powerless at times, such as when He has taught and trained those awakened spirits to understand certain concepts, but does not want those concepts to be taught and applied among a people who are not ready to hear that inner wisdom. God is wise, not a simplistic idiot who automatically assigns power only to those whom He endorses. For power is not a blessing, just a manifestation of God’s ability to work either blessings or punishments.

And remember, at the beginning of the millennium of Christ’s rule, the prophecies said, “... the beast was killed [i.e., along with the entire Roman Empire belonging to the beast], and its body destroyed [i.e., the beast was cast alive into hell and all its people and possessions were destroyed] and given over to be burned with fire [i.e., the beast’s physical body was destroyed in the fires of hell, although his spirit still existed, since his spirit was Satan himself]. As for the rest of the beasts [i.e., this refers to the first three beasts of Satan’s evil kingdom which formed his Roman religious empire, who are the Babylonian, Persian and Greek empires] , their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time” (Dan. 7:11-12). Therefore, the millennium of Jesus’ rule on earth will begin immediately after the world-wide religious empire of Rome is destroyed. However, during that millennium, there will be elements of the first three beasts “prolonged for a season and a time.” Rome’s “dominion” or physical rule over any people will be “taken away,” but the “lives” of the first three Satanic and humanistic religious kingdoms of Babylon, Persia and Greece, will remain to influence some during the entire millennium. Thus, these three evil kingdoms will perpetuate remnants of Satan’s prime religion of humanism, which he

 

Page 437

Last Days Timeline

 

developed through all three. And, since literally all laws and morals are strictly religious, that false religion of humanism will adversely affect the laws and morals of many people in the millennium.

Thus, when Satan is released, he will have an opportunity to sow non-elect spirits on the earth, as he did in the beginning (Mat. 13:24-30,36-43). Then that devil will shape them through the religion of the first three beasts, in order to produce this rebellion. It might take Satan something like forty to a hundred years after his release to produce this rebellion, at the end of the millennium. But, through this last rebellion, God will expose, rebuke and eradicate the very last traces of the first three religious empires which had formed the fourth Roman beast. Traces of the kinds of humanism found in Babylon, Persia and Greece will be eradicated at the end of the millennium, long after the Roman form of humanism had been expunged from the earth back when Jesus returned a millennium ago.

So none of this prophecy about Gog and Magog has anything to do with our current era of the fifth seal. And we need to also notice the transition from one time to another time in this prophecy. After talking about Gog and Magog, Ezekiel then prophesied: “The house of Israel shall know that I am [Yahweh] their God, from that day forward.” So, by this, Ezekiel meant that all the traditions and beliefs which Israel acquired through Babylon, Greece and Persia will be totally eradicated from the universal church or “house of Israel” after the rebellion of Gog and Magog. And He is relating Israel’s current captivity to the rebellion of Gog and Magog in the distant future, solely because of the evil influences of humanism from Babylon and Persia experienced in Israel in his own day, in the sixth century BC. Ezekiel is saying that those evil influences would not be fully eradicated from the church of Israel until the “latter days,” at the end of the millennium. So here Ezekiel’s prophecy transitions to a completely different time, which some do not notice. For Ezekiel then prophesies: “And the nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity …” From this point in his prophecy, Ezekiel began to talk about Israel’s long captivity which began in his day, shortly before the sixth century BC. And this captivity would not entirely end until the Messiah had returned, although the return of some Jews to Israel would begin during the fifth seal’s era, before the Messiah came. But, even after God returned literally all Jews to Israel, all would not be purged of all the harmful beliefs and traditions they acquired throughout their very long Babylonian captivity.

Ezekiel prophesied that Israel’s “captivity for their iniquity” would end when Israel received the Spirit of God. So that is referring to the final return of literally all the Jews on earth after Jesus returns, as the millennium begins. And their “captivity” was because they “dealt treacherously” with God, because they began to esteem men and their words more highly than God and His words. This caused untold suffering among the people, as the elite trampled over the innocent and the poor. And where did Israel learn these humanistic ways? Their virtual worship of human gods originated from Babylon, before and after their captivity. But Israel in earlier times had no reason to respect anyone more than others, and were free to apply God’s Word as their spirits heard it. Only after Babylon, did human gods bear authority over consciences of men. And this is why God said: “I hid My face from them and gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they all fell by the sword. I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and their transgressions, and hid My face from them” (Ezek. 39:23-24, ESV). Yet the Jews never repented from this sin. Rather, they went on to adopt even more traditions from the demonic humanistic religions of Persia, Greece and Rome, syncretizing those lies with their waning faith in God. By the time Jesus came the first time, very few Jews followed God as their only Head Teacher of their spirits. The vast majority worshiped men instead of God. But this shall result in the Jews becoming the most effective weapons against humanism in the end times.

Right now, in the fifth seal’s era, Israel is busy practicing the humanism from all four of the Satanic beast’s kingdoms, together with all the false churches and the rest of the world. But, after the sixth

Page 438

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

seal’s revival, all forms of humanism will be torn out of the hearts of many Jewish and Gentile elect, and some awakened Jewish elect will likely be leading that charge. Then, after Jesus returns, Roman humanism will be dead all over the world. Yet aspects of basic humanism from Babylon, Persia and Greece will persist in most parts of the world, culminating in the rebellion of Gog and Magog. And, interestingly, the primary target of Gog and Magog will be Israel. This implies that Israel will be the only place on earth which does not comply with those elements of humanism which will be most cherished by Satan’s non-elect whom he raises up in the rebellion of Gog and Magog, the doctrines which originated from the first three of Satan’s humanistic kingdoms. Israel will be the one place on earth which has thoroughly eliminated every trace of humanism, through their Jewish Messiah Jesus.

That is, although the Jews fell into every successive, increasingly systematized and refined form of humanism, they also will become the primary servants of God used to overcome literally every form of humanism. But many other nations shall linger in humanistic beliefs originating from Satan’s first three kingdoms, even during the millennium. So we should carefully watch Israel, to see how they do it. For they will somehow be able to hear what Jesus teaches them about Babylon, Persia and Greece, while most Gentile elect will not. Many Gentile elect will be committing unintentional sins in oppressive hierarchical systems, sins related to early forms of humanism, and do so throughout the millennium, possibly even during the sixth seal’s great revival. But many awakened elect Jews in Israel will not be committing those same sins. Thus, it will be critical to find out exactly what the Jewish church in Israel will be doing that is so different from other churches, then make those changes wherever possible in the Gentile churches, so they will not be involved in the rebellion of Gog and Magog. And the fewer unintentional sins we commit, the more blessed our lives will be.

Israel’s Babylonian captivity began in the days of Nebuchadnezzar, a king who placed his faith in human beings rather than any gods or God, primarily faith in himself as his own god who created his own destiny for his own glory (Dan. 4:30). This was quite a novel innovation in those days, even for kings who believed themselves to be lesser gods. All of the previous kings, pharaohs and other humans who claimed to be descendants of gods realized they were weak and utterly dependent upon greater gods. They lived or died based upon what the greater gods did for them or against them. All who claimed to be gods suffered great personal sacrifices just to appease the greater gods, lest those more powerful gods might grow angry and strike them or their people down. But Nebuchadnezzar had no such fear of any greater gods, but initiated a small “self-esteem” and “can do” cult of sorts. As an admirer of intelligence, education and independent thinking, but not true critical analysis, Nebuchadnezzar began to believe that he alone could shape his own destiny for his own vainglory.

It seems that Nebuchadnezzar possessed this propensity for self-worship early in life, judging by his vain and often cruelly autocratic dictates known to history. And he also expected other “wise men” to be human gods as well. For Nebuchadnezzar actually asked his “wise men” to interpret his dream without even telling them what he dreamed. And, when they naturally claimed this was impossible, Nebuchadnezzar literally thought they were either fakes or holding back on him, then threatened to kill them if they did not give him a correct answer. So Nebuchadnezzar held such a strong belief that human beings can be gods, capable of knowing the unknowable and doing the impossible, that he refused to acknowledge the realities of human existence, that we all depend upon one another and ultimately upon the God who maintains our perceptions of all existence. And this became the very essence of all forms of humanism, which is why Daniel called Nebuchadnezzar the golden “head” of the statue representing Satan’s four kingdoms, which would war against God until the end times.

Now, of course, we see this same insane humanistic belief system everywhere on earth. Countless blind souls believe they can do anything or become anything they want to become, through their

Page 439

Last Days Timeline

 

own wills and strength alone, and all for their own glory. Just like Nebuchadnezzar, these vain humanists refuse to inwardly acknowledge the input of countless other souls, those who provided them with everything from moral support and education to tools and resources. Nor will they even give a nod to God, who provided the land, minerals, soil, water, sunshine and life in the crops and livestock they depend upon. Then, when those entitled and arrogant souls see a suffering child in the family of humankind, they turn away from that one’s pain in disgust, falsely accusing that one of becoming poor or sick through an imagined inferior a lack of will and strength. And many of these kinds of ruthless souls actually claim to God’s people of His church, knowing that God appointed the priesthood of His true church to educated and physically care for those very people. But this insanity and vanity was not enough for the devil in his war against God and against God’s just, equitable kind of love. Satan further developed his religion of humanism into vast hierarchical class systems, led by deluded “superiors” ruling over their own oppressed “inferior” siblings, all codified and efficiently streamlined, then intricately supported by their inescapable and all-encompassing financial systems to control every thought and deed of their supposed “inferiors.” Through Persia, Greece and Rome, Satan’s humanism became the dominant world religion and foundation of every nation’s laws and lives on the earth, able to very effectively maintain the power of the worst of the psychopathic elite.

Much of Israel absorbed the first form of Babylonian humanism into their religion, syncretizing it with the teachings of God’s Word. But God sent His faithful and loving servants to counter it, true and just Jews like the prophets and their siblings. Then Israel fell further into those humanistic lies through the influences of Persia, Greece and Rome. But God still kept some just and loving Jews among His people throughout those times, and those Jews became the disciples of their Messiah Jesus in the first century. The Holy Spirit of our God Jesus and the heavenly Father later sent those few truly Jewish disciples out into the Roman world, to gather some of the Gentile elect into His priesthood of Israel. And together, as one body with one mind, that true church of Israel wrote the brilliantly harmonious and wise New Covenant Scriptures, which God has faithfully preserved in whole to this day. After this initial work of recording and explaining the Gospel of salvation was completed by those few elect souls awakened by God, that visible church was crushed by the Roman humanists, and replaced by fake humanistic churches. For the world definitely was not ready to hear God yet, not in all the places where humanism was so strong. However, the Holy Spirit of Jesus continued to teach and train elect spirits all over the world, using His Scriptures to ignite and awaken their longing spirits to the truths He put in them. And this true kuriakoi or church has been growing ever since, beneath all the fake humanistic churches, opposing the delusions of Satan’s evil religion.

So Israel’s captivity began as Babylon formed the religion of humanism, because Israel also took up that religion. Now Israel had also taken up the worship of pagan Babylonian gods before that time, while still claiming to worship Yahweh in their temple. But the worship of those demonic pagan gods was relatively easy to nullify through evidence and demonstrations of Yahweh’s power over them. Meanwhile, humanism was a far more pervasive religion, since humanism catered to the self-preservation and ego of the mind of flesh. Because the mind of flesh seeks its own survival and pleasures, then tries to silence and oppress the mind of the spirit whenever its survival and pleasures are threatened, the religion of humanism could simply convince the mind of flesh that it could be its own god, that it alone could ensure its own survival and pleasures, through its own will and power.

Throughout history, minds of flesh have always engaged in power struggles against minds of spirits within the chambers of elect souls, but the souls of the non-elect never experience this inner conflict. For God has always builds up inner consciences in His elect, through each elect spirit’s desire for truth and love. So, when an elect spirits seeks truth and love through sacrifices of the flesh, the mind

 

Page 440

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

of flesh opposes that mind of the spirit in the chamber of the soul, tries to take the spirit captive and lock the spirit in the heart where it can be silenced. But the non-elect can only have man-made outer consciences, a few moral teachings in their minds of flesh, but no morals in their spirits. So non-elect may have a few guilt feelings in their minds of flesh when they say or do something wrong, but only if they think they might personally suffer some ill effects as a consequence, and only if their outer consciences remain intact. Yet they never really suffer from inner conflicts between spirit and flesh.

So the religion of humanism takes advantage of this power struggle between flesh and spirit in the elect, which has made it Satan’s most effective false religion in all history. For other false religions could easily manipulate his own non-elect children, but not many elect. Humanism simply causes the minds of flesh in the elect to thinks it possesses a god-like status and falsely promises that the flesh can cause itself to not only survive, but even grant itself whatever pleasures and gratifications it may desire. Then humanism tells the flesh that the pursuit of all this for the flesh is just and right, while all else is a lie and evil. With enough repetition, these insane, self-destructive teachings of humanism seem to be rational and correct in those minds of flesh. So each elect person’s mind of flesh will start to zealously suppress the mind of its spirit in one’s soul, while every non-elect person’s flesh will work seamlessly with its spirit in the soul, since non-elect spirits desire to be their own gods in the first place. Thus, wherever people live according to the teachings and laws of humanism, Satan’s non-elect human children excel, since they easily can become psychopathic human gods without any inner conflicts affecting their progress. Meanwhile, as the amoral flesh of God’s elect learn to more effectively suppress their own spirits, they gradually become more ruthless and empty throughout their childhood, through the brainwashing of the humanists. Then, once their spirits are adequately suppressed, they can serve as the slaves of the psychopathic non-elect elite in humanistic societies.

Humanism became Satan’s favorite fake religion on the earth for a good reason, because it was so very easy to convince minds of flesh in the elect to suppress their sleeping, infantile spirits, while also placing his own non-elect children in positions of power over the elect. And the whole point of that devil’s spiritual works on earth is to produce amorality, so that his deluded non-elect elect may pretend that they are gods. Then he and his demons can live vicariously in the perceptions of earthly time and space through the non-elect. And amorality is not overt immorality. Satan has used all of his false religions that he has ever developed in history to turn people away from the true spiritual ways of God, which is defined as amorality, which does not always result in immorality. An amoral person may follow amoral or carnal laws and ways which allow oneself to benefit from a society, so one can make oneself into one’s own vain god ruling over one’s own destiny at the expense of other lives. And those amoral laws and ways may forbid murder, rape, theft, lying and other things which allow self-serving human gods to cooperate for their mutual benefits. But none of those amoral laws or ways have any holy or God-like spiritual substance behind them, only an unholy and evil spiritual substance. So those amoral laws and ways can easily be broken for the benefit of the amoral human gods in the system. That is, the human gods in any of Satan’s false religions can murder, rape, steal and lie to anyone outside their system, can slaughter and plunder outsiders, and not break any of their own amoral laws and ways. Only holy and God-like spiritual or moral systems, based on laws and ways worked through the love of elect spirits in truth, are not hypocritical and remain consistent.

So I hope you can begin to see why Satan chose humanism as his perfect false religion, and why he prefers secular humanism to theistic humanism, although both kinds work exactly the same emphasis on employing the mind of the flesh to suppress spiritual awareness. To deal with religious minds of flesh, humanism must convince the flesh that it is able to gain its own eternal survival and pleasures in heaven through its own will and strength through physical rituals and prayers. So, since the elect

 

Page 441

Last Days Timeline

 

who desire heaven, humanism needs to terrorize those elect into thinking they will lose salvation into heaven if they allow their spirits to hear and heed the Spirit of the real God. And this is why Satan prefers the “non-religious” religion of secular humanism. It is much easier for the devil if everyone religiously worships human gods without the extra work of having to invent and maintain falsely “spiritual” physical rituals which pretend to save them. And now, if we generally comprehend how that devil manipulates humans into his false religions, especially humanism, we can more effectively combat those devious strategies, without needing to learn too many details about each false religion.

However, in the end, the only way to nullify the ruthless, destructive and unjust works done by the religion of humanism, or any of Satan’s other false religions, is through God’s works done in us and through us. And, since all elect are born with ignorant, infantile and weak spirits, we all need to grow mature and strong through the teaching and training of our Father and oldest Brother. For we cannot do anything truly effective against the superior power of Satan, not through our own thoughts of the flesh, nor by reasoning with his non-elect children. We cannot bribe, make trusted contracts or ever expect any mercy from them either. Only fully just laws using much force can restrain them. Thus, the first step the elect must take is to allow their spirits to listen for the small, still voice of God’s Holy Spirit. And, to do this, they must silence their loud, irrational, forgetful, self-serving minds of flesh. Then their spirits can truly pray for God to awaken their spirits and pour His concepts of truth into the minds of their spirits. After our spirits learn for a time, He will then send His well-taught and well-trained children out to do some small works, to speak some pure truths and serve His creations in some way. Then His wisdom will coordinate these small works of many elect into one harmonious greater work, and multiply the effects through His power. By each elect doing what he or she knows how to do, through eager desires from the heart, God Himself will nullify the hypocritical, unjust and destructive systems of Satan, as He builds up His just, equitable, loving systems for His elect.

Since the days of Babylon, both the Jews and Gentiles have been syncretizing the doctrines of humanism with their religions. And this syncretization of humanism with biblical doctrines has utterly nullified faith in God and His words in both the Old and New Covenant churches, since that humanism has transformed God’s religion of the spirit into a religion of the flesh. And humanism has turned their faith away from God toward human gods. This is why the prophet Ezekiel’s prophecy told us that God would not hear the prayers of His natural Israel and sent them into captivity. It was “because they dealt so treacherously” with Him, by syncretizing humanism with His teachings.

Because of this merging of false doctrines with the true teachings from God’s Spirit in God’s Word, God hid His face from them and “gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they all fell by the sword.” So, in our day, what Jew or what Gentile who claims to believe in the God of the Bible has truly learned this painful lesson? To this very day—almost 2,600 years after Ezekiel warned us about the consequences of Satan’s religion formed through his four kingdoms of Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome—both Jews and Gentiles still syncretize humanism and other false doctrines with the true teachings of God’s Spirit found in His Word, instead of learning His Word from His Spirit.

But times are coming when God will no longer hide His face from either His Jewish or Gentile elect. God is about to do a great work upon their spirits, although at a great cost to their temporary flesh. During the era of the sixth seal, God will jealously defend His holy name from the slander which the false humanistic churches placed on it (Ezek. 39:25). And this means that very many elect, all over the earth, will stop worshiping human gods. Countless elect spirits will worship the real Creator God in their spirits and in the truths He taught through His Word. Among these, there will be 144,000 male Jewish martyrs for our God and Messiah Jesus, true and faithful servants who have abandoned

 

Page 442

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

all forms of humanism. A pure faith from elect spirits, built entirely upon a foundation of truth, will be seen upon the earth again, so God’s just, equitable, holy and loving name will be defended again.

Then, during the era of the seventh seal, after Jesus returns, God Himself declared that literally all elect Jews on earth “shall forget their shame and all the treachery they have practiced against Me, when they dwell securely in their land, with none to make them afraid, when I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them from their enemies’ lands, and through them have vindicated My holiness in the sight of many nations” (Ezek. 39: 26-27, ESV). Jew will “forget their shame” of “all the treachery they have practiced against” Yahweh since the days of Babylon, even in a better way than most Gentile elect who fell into the delusions of the fake humanistic churches. But the Jews will purge every form of humanism from themselves and teach many Gentile elect to do the same, although most of the Gentile elect shall still retain some forms of humanism until the days of Gog and Magog. After all the Jews return to Israel, they will shine more light into this world than any other nation on earth. For God shall vindicate His holiness “through them” in the sight of all the surviving nations. After all, this was God’s plan from the beginning, to create a the physical bodies and spirits of a particular nation through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to serve the world in His name.

So Israel has suffered a very long captivity, beginning in the 6th century BC, and that captivity will not end until shortly after Christ returns, although the beginning of that end is happening right now. Meanwhile, God has always allowed their adversaries to persecute and kill them. And the reason for this was given here by God, in Ezekiel’s prophecy. God allowed all their suffering because of their “uncleanness and their transgression,” which Ezekiel did not specifically identify, and likely could not specifically identify back then, because his languages of the flesh had not yet invented a name for the religion of humanism. But the Bible and other sources of historical information make it clear that Israel had sinned by substituting traditions (doctrines) invented by men for the teachings of God.

Since the 6th century BC, when Israel began to serve, esteem and revere mortal men far more than God Himself, they began to worship human gods instead of God. When Israel sought the counsel of men, rather than allowing their spirits to hear and heed the counsel of God’s Holy Spirit, they made human idols for themselves and placed those false gods on alters high above the invisible Spirit of God. When Israel believed the self-contradicting false prophecies and deceptive teachings derived through the carnal lusts and emotional desires of liars claiming to exegete God’s Word and speak in God’s name, they abused and slandered God’s holy name together with those liars. When Israel practiced pagan-like rituals of the flesh as Sabbath works, to advertise their own artificial piety for their own selfish ambitions, they broke God’s Sabbath, which He set aside for them to do His works upon the earth, and refused to allow their spirits to rest within His Spirit. When they honored lying human fathers of their false religion more than their honest heavenly Father of their eternal spirits, they grieved their heavenly Father’s heart. Then the Gentiles in the false humanistic churches of the Great Prostitute and her harlot daughters sinned in exactly the same ways since the second century.

This is why God turned His face away from Israel, why He refused to hear their cries for His help. It was because Israel offended God through a blatant contradiction of His first and most critical words in what we call the archetypal Ten Commandments. They callously taught their minds of flesh to cast their spirits out of their souls, so they could disobey all God’s words which summarized all His teachings pertaining to their love of Himself. It was because they literally spat in God’s face with a hatred of Him in their eyes. Likewise, God has also punished the false Gentile churches for exactly the same reasons, because they too hated Him in the same way. And God has often handed those fake humanistic Gentile churches over to self-destructive delusions as their punishment, whenever their flesh became too arrogant and self-indulgent, allowing the wicked to trample and kill them.

Almost all the Jewish and Gentile churches accumulated countless humanistic doctrines over the centuries, all invented by men and demons, then syncretized those destructive and unjust doctrines with teachings from God’s Holy Spirit in God’s Word. As a result, God hid His face from both, and neither has seen a true prophet or any genuine miraculous works through the love and power of our holy God for two thousand years. Nevertheless, God’s grace worked through some of His elect Jewish children before Jesus’ first advent, then also through some of His elect Gentile children after Jesus’ first advent, to spread His truths and build up His kingdom throughout the world. For God is very slow to anger and has mercy on the ignorant, especially His elect Jewish and Gentile children.

However, we must not take that grace for granted, and must realize that our utterly holy God must still hide His face from the eyes of sinners, because He cannot allow His utterly holy Self to partake in their sins. Now we must thank Him for His grace, then allow our elect spirits to hear and trust the concepts which His Holy Spirit pours into the minds of our spirits. When He tells our elect spirits to manage our minds of flesh and stop worshiping human gods, we must heed His calling. We must no longer allow our minds of flesh to protest and cast the minds of our spirits out of the chambers of our souls. Our elect spirits must look to our resurrected Jesus. We must not allow the flesh to think it is a god of its own destiny, or indulge in any other delusions of personal glory. Rather, “to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with [our] God” (Micah 6:8, ESV), let us now allow our spirits to listen for the small, still voice of our God’s Holy Spirit, so He might also teach and train our spirits.

During these last few decades, a more elect believers are rejecting those fake humanistic churches and their false doctrines, so they might repent and seek the real God as their only God, with honest spirits. We do not yet see a true visible church which knows the real God and clearly sees His face with the eyes of their spirits. For most elect still worship mortal men as their gods. But the revival of His elect is coming very soon, and the sixth seal’s era will strike the earth very hard to initiate the end times. Therefore, we must prepare our spirits for those days. Otherwise, if our spirits fail, no amount of physical preparation will suffice. If God makes us into His cherished people, from whom He does not hide His face, we will be able to do all that is necessary in Him, and we will survive all.

Today, since most churches and synagogues still worship men, so they become greedy, heartless, unjust fools parading themselves before the whole world as though they all stand at the right hand of God, even as demons lead them by the nose. This is why God turns away from them, and hides His truth and wisdom from their hearts. God abandons them to their own human devices. He forsakes them, allowing them to pant after their beloved false religions invented by their own minds of flesh. For they do not want the real God to be their God, and prefer to worship invented gods in imagined heavens, fake creator gods who bow before their human gods. And when those human gods pray “in Jesus’ name,” they are actually commanding God to obey their human wills, as though God was their servant who rules the universe in their names. All of this is truly an abomination causing desolation.

Gentile and Jewish churches became more ignorant, greedy, small-minded and foolish than even the worst pagans. And the leaders God causes to rise up in some churches are for their punishment, the worst of the worst. For they are not only ruthless, greedy, lying, cheating, adulterous, blasphemous psychopaths, but also slander God’s name by doing their evil in God’s name. So God commands Satan’s secular world order to mock, jeer and ridicule all those vile and unclean abominations that call themselves churches and synagogues. But the sixth seal is about to be opened. And when it is, God will stun the entire earth into silence through world-wide cataclysmic events. Then there will be a revival of God’s true visible church, including many Jews, and God will vindicate His holy name.
