(Jeremiah 25: 11-14, 29:10, Dan 9: 2, Zac 1:12) As the modern state of Israel (composed of Jews or Judah), recently commemorated the 70th anniversary of its creation or existence, on May 14, 2018, we must turn to the Word of YHWH (Torah), to understand the implication of this very significant event, in the fulfillment of some important biblical prophecies, in this end time! “Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.” (Amos 3:7)-NKJV). The 70-year prophecy was made by YHWH, through Jeremiah, after the ancient nation of Judah (the Jews) was taken captive to Babylon in the days of Nebuchadnezzar, king of the Babylonians. (a) The ancient Nation of Judah (Jews) In fact, YHWH had promised through the mouth of the prophet Jeremiah that after 70 years of exile in Babylon, He would intervene to bring Judah back to Jerusalem (Jer 25: 11-14 ; 29:10) This happened the first year of the reign of Cyrus, king of the Persians, who had conquered Babylon (Ezr. 1:1). The leaders of the Jewish nation in captivity in Babylon (Zorobabel, Joshua, Ezrah, Nehemiah, etc.) had received permission from Cyrus to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem (Ezr 2:1-2). The Jewish nation, despite all sorts of trials, has remained on its ancient territory, the Holy Land or Palestine, until the destruction in the year 70 AD by the Romans, of the second temple built by Zerubbabel and renovated by Herod. From this date, and especially after the crushing of the 2nd Jewish revolt against the Roman occupation in 135 AD, this nation ceased to exist; most of the surviving Jews have dispersed throughout the Roman Empire and beyond! (b) Modern-day Israel (1948) There was no longer any Jewish nation in Palestine (Holy Land) from 135 AD to 1948, when the modern nation of Israel (composed mainly of Jews from the diaspora) was to be founded on the very day that the British mandate expired on Palestine! As a reminder, after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in the First World War, and the fragmentation of its possessions, Palestine, which had been occupied by the Turks for four centuries, had been placed under British mandate by the United Nations (UN)! This British mandate on Palestine expired on May 14, 1948, and Ben-Gurion (Prime Minister) proclaimed the independence and birth of the nation of modern Israel, made up of Jews from the Diaspora. The foundation of the modern State of Israel (composed of Jews or Judah) since 1948, marked a decisive turning point in the fulfillment of certain biblical prophecies in the Middle East (Dan 11:40-45: Zec 12:8-10 ; 14:2-4,14 ; Ps 83:1-9). These prophecies could not be fulfilled without the presence of the Jews (Judah) in the Holy Land at this end time. Indeed, the presence of a Jewish entity (or Judah) was to be a reality in the Holy Land (Palestine) before the coming of (YHWH), that is to say the return of Jesus Christ (Zac 14: 1-5; Act 2:11-12). This has been effective since 1948! A physical Jewish nation was therefore born in one day on May 14, 1948, after 1813 years of non-existence! Although Israel as a whole was partially and temporarily rejected by YHWH (Matt 21:43; Rom 11:8, 20-21,25), a small remnant, Judah (the Jews), was to exist in Palestine in these end times (Rom 11:1 -5; Zac 14:14)! So, 70 years after the founding and existence of the modern Jewish State of Israel, God says He is to bring down Babylon (the current world system-Jer 25:12; 29:10; Rev 14:8; 18:2), by His Physical Nation, Zion which, by pure biblical duality, is to be born very soon in one day (Isa 66:7-9)! c) The Birth of SION, the Nation or Physical Kingdom of God! 1- Not Ancient Judah or Modern Israel The Bible speaks of a physical Nation, Zion, which will be born suddenly in one day (Is 66:7-8; Ps 87), after 70 years (Ps 102:14; Jer 25:11-14; 29:10; 3:14), in this end of time, when YHWH will intervene in human affairs to bring down Babylon! We also know that the modern state of Israel (constituted by the Jews, therefore Judah) is under the influence of the United Nations (Babylon) since its creation in 1948. Now the Bible reveals that this enslavement will last 70 years, before YHWH intervenes to chastise Babylon, here the United Nations (Jer 25: 11-14)! Now this nation to be born can not be: – Not The ancient Nation of Judah, who returned from exile after 70 years according to the prophecy, but was not born in one day, for, despite the authorization of Cyrus, king of the Persians, it is after many dealings that the survivors of Judah settled in Jerusalem (Ezra 1: 1; 2: Neh 2: 1-)! – Not The modern Nation of Israel which was born in one day (May 14, 1948), but after 1813 years of nonexistence, since the dispersion of the Jewish people of the Holy Land in 135 AD! YHWH temporarily rejected physical Israel, as we said above (including Judah-the Jews) as His nation (Matt 21:43; Rom 11: 21,25). The birth of the modern physical nation of Israel in one day, May 14, 1948, thus foreshadowed the very near birth of the Kingdom, Zion, in one day, after 70 years, according to the biblical principle of Duality (1st physical achievement, 2nd spiritual fulfillment). It is by this nation (or physical kingdom) that will be aroused (Dan. 2:44), Zion, the stone of Daniel 2:34-35, that YHWH will intervene in human affairs (Ps 102: 14-19), and it is through it that he will bring down Babylon (Dan 2: 44-45, Rev. 14: 8, 18: 2; 1 Thes 5: 2-3)! 2– Birth of Zion Today, it is the Church founded by Christ in the year 31 of our era that constitutes his Spiritual Nation (1 Pet. 2: 9). It is small (Matthew 7: 13-14, 13: 31-32, Luke 12:32) It is made up of scattered and hidden members in the world (Matthew 26:31, Ezekiel 34: 5-6, Matthew 13: 38,44). It must be revealed to the world (Rom 8:19, Luke 17: 30,34-37). It is this sudden release from the shadow (revelation) in one day of the sons of YHWH, now scattered and hidden in the world, which constitutes the birth of the physical kingdom of YHWH, his Nation, called ZION (Is 66: 7-8; Ps 87). NB: The Passover in Egypt, had unleashed events that were ended by the annihilation of Pharaoh and his troops in the waves of the Red Sea. Likewise, the birth of the Physical Nation of YHWH, will precipitate the collapse of the present system of this wicked world (Babylon). YHWH said, “I will shake the heavens and the earth, I will overturn the throne of the kingdoms, and I will destroy the power of the kingdoms of the nations. » (Hag 2: 21-22) -« … The Elohim of heaven will raise up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, and which will not pass under the dominion of other people; he will break and annihilate all these kingdoms, and he will subsist eternally. (Dan 2:44). 3 – Eliyah brings Zion We also know today by the biblical revelation (Jn 14:26, 16:13; Rev. 1: 1; 22:10) that the physical nation of YHWH, Zion, that will be born in one day (Luke 17: 30,34-37), will be raised by Elijah, a physical descendant of David (Mal 4: 5-6, Matthew 17:11, 2 Sam 7, Mark 9: 2), who is the son of man (duality), of which Jesus, Jehovah of the Old Testament, alluded to the coming to the time of the end (Ezekiel 2: 1-5, 7: 1-10, Luke 17: 22-37). This son of the man of the end-time generation (Jesus is no longer the Son of man since his resurrection from the dead, He is the Son of YHWH – Rom 1: 3-4), had much to suffer from disease and be rejected (Luke 17:25, Ezekiel 3: 24-27); he had to die before miraculously returning to the physical life in order to arouse the nation of God which will cause Babylon to fall (Job 14:13, Psalm 30: 1-4, 40: 1-4, Luke 17: 24-37)! The Unexpected and Miraculous Arrival of the ‘true’ son of man (Elijah) who brings the Physical Nation of YHWH to the world stage(Is 66:7-8 ; Matt 24:44; Luke 21:24-25; 1 Thess 5:2), will be known to all mankind, it will not be hidden, since he will be a well-known man, who reportedly died a few years earlier, and who will return to physical life (will resurrect or sprout) where he was buried (Ps 30:1-4; 40:1-4; Zec 6:12); after returning to physical life, he will be surrounded by some people alive, also known, from all continents, and who find themselves instantly and miraculously by his side without the aid of a known means of transport, even the fastest and most sophisticated (Zec 3: 8 ; Dan 2:34,45 ; Jer 3:14 ; Deut 30:4 ; Mark 13:27 ; Luke 17:30,34-37). This amazing event will be relayed by all media worldwide (internet, television, radio, etc. …) like lightning from east to west (Isa 45:5-6; Matthew 24:27; Luke 17:24).The whole earth will be astonished to see: “A Revenant surrounded with people who were still a few moments ago, sleeping in their beds, or making their kitchen or working in their field, thousands of kilometers away, according to time zones! » (Luke 17:34-36)! It is this event that Traditional Christianity has always called ‘the Rapture‘ which in reality is the Birth of the Nation of God in a day! (Isaiah 66:7-8): the gathering of physical elect will be done by the Angels (eagles) that will take them where is ‘the Body’, that is to say the son of man who is Eliyah returned to the physical life (Luke 17:30,34-37; De 30:4; Mk 13:27)! The event that we expect today in the Church of YHWH (Heb 10:25,37), is the coming of the son of man (Eliyah) who brings the Nation of YHWH (Zion) or physical kingdom of YHWH (Isaiah 66: 7-8; Matthew 10:7,23; 24:33; Luke 21:31; Luke 17:30,34-37). But this advent will take place only after 10 Nations from the current European Union (28 countries until the end of 2020) will be incorporated into a federation (United States of Europe) who is the Beast, the 8th Resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire (Dan 2:41-44; Rev. 17:8,11-13). Here is an excerpt of the ‘Plain Truth’ of September 1979 – Page 13: “Few people realize that the Roman Empire must exist, literally … just before the establishment prophesied of the Kingdom of God on earth … Since then, several steps have been taken towards achieving the ‘United States of Europe … a new Europe is in action, as surely as the sun will continue to stand and lie down. Many Europeans realize they will remain powerless as individual nations, as they will not have been gathered into a powerful union (or federation). So only they can speak with one voice and to fully use their political and military forces … Note that ‘the beast’ (the leader of the final revival of the Roman Empire) will control and conduct the power of ‘ten kings’ or ten heads of state, who will act in total allegiance towards him.” This observation was made 42 years ago! Where are we today? Look what’s happening right now before our eyes in the world (The COVID 19 Pandemic – Luke 21:11; The Youth Uprising- Populism –Luke 21:28-31), the events in the Middle East, in North Africa and in Europe (the crisis of migrants within the EU, due to the war against Islamic climb in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Egypt and Libya, etc. … Dan 11:40)! The upheavals on the geopolitical chessboard in the world and in these areas are in the process to quickly prepare the ground for the birth of a powerful Federal Europe, able to compete with the galloping Russian influence and to overcome the collapse of American hegemony in the world (Rev. 13:4) .The Europeans themselves are aware of the current weakness of “the European Union of independent states”, facing the serious challenges of the moment. Hence the necessity of a full Europe even decreased of some states! NB: The 10 toes of the feet or hands of the human body consist of 28 phalanges (you must check them). But now, the European Union (7th head of the Beast) consists of 28 states where, according to the Bible (Rev. 17:10-12), come the 10 nations (8th head of the Beast) that will soon form the UNITED STATES OF EUROPE (USE)! The Bible declares that the 7th Head (UE) will not last long (Rev 17:10). However, it was not until July 2013 that the 28th state (Croatia) was admitted into the European Union, thus completing the 28 phalanges of the 10 fingers of Daniel 2: 42-43 and of Revelation 17:10. The advent of the COVID 19 pandemic, England’s exit from the EU (Brexit) voted in June 2016 and effective in December 2020, and the collapse of American hegemony in 2021 in Afghanistan, risk precipitate very soon, the formation of a Federal Europe of Ten (10) States as prophesied! It’s time to wake up (Isaiah 52:1-2); yes “…It’s time to awake out of sleep: because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over, the day is almost here ...”(Rom 13:11-12) – “… Encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching” (Hebrews 10:25).! Conclusion Where are we today in the fulfillment of these two prophecies? – The 8th head of the beast (the future United States of Europe) is being formed at this very moment in the European Union (7th head of the beast), especially after the Brexit voted in June 23, 2016, and effective since December 2020, as we said (the exit of the UK from the EU) – (Rev 17: 10-12)! – The Bible says, “In the days of these kings (when the ten unified nations of Europe are in place), YHWH of heaven will rise up a kingdom ...” (Dan 2: 42-44)! Note that YHWH will raise, that is to say, will bring up, or come out, or emerge suddenly this kingdom, when the 10 kings will be in place in Europe. He will not establish it right now. He will set it up three and a half years later, after the Great Tribulation and the pouring out of the plagues of YHWH’s wrath, when Jesus comes to establish the Millennial Kingdom (Rev 20: 4), after the annihilation of the beast and the false prophet and their armies gathered in Jerusalem (Rev 19: 19-20) The modern state of Israel was born in one day in 1948. So, after its 70 years of existence arrived on May 14, 2018, in our nowadays Babylon (Jer 25:12; 29:10), we are now closer than we think, to the rebirth of the Holy Roman Empire and the birth of the Nation of YHWH! NB: The Pandemic of COVID 19 (Luke 21:11) which comes just one year after the 70th anniversary of Israel, is an advance indication of the impending fall of our modern Babylon (Rev 14:8 ; 18:1-2)! It is this nation, Zion, under the guidance of Elijah that will sound the trumpet before the great and terrible Day of the Lord (Joe 2: 1-2; Mal 4: 5) This Nation, Zion, to be born in a day (Isaiah 66:7-8), is the Bowl above the Lampstand of Zechariah 4: 2-3, and this lampstand is the story of the True Church of God from Abel the Just, to the two Witnesses:  – The 2 Olive-trees: are the 2 ambassadors of the Nation of God; they are the 2 witnesses of Revelation 11 during the Great Tribulation! – The Bowl: above the lampstand, is the Church of God rising from the Laodicean correction to become the Nation of God, to be born in a day as Zion (Isaiah 66:7-11; Ps:87 ; Luke 17:34-37) ! – The 7 Lamps: are the seven eras of the Church of God of the New Testament of Revelation 2 and 3! – The Rest of the Lampstand: represents all the faithful servants of God of the Old Testament (Hebrews 11)! Let’s watch the events that take place before our eyes! (Luke 21: 34-36). In the name of Jesus Christ! |

| This author uses a ton of scriptures, but not all of the scriptures he uses match the points he is trying to make. Due to the number of scriptures used in this article we did not go over this article very well. It would be better if in the future he used less scriptures and makes sure the ones he does use prove his points. Hopefully everyone understands that putting this newsletter together every week is a lot of work. So, we do research what we can, unfortunately due to the number of scriptures used in this article we just don’t have the time it would take, so if anyone goes over any part of it and finds good parts or bad parts, please write up an “Iron Sharpening Iron” in regard to it so that all may learn and so no one is deceived. With that said, this article may be just fine, but we will leave it up to those who read it to let us know one way or the other. |
