10 End Time Prophecies

[lentz]

About the fig tree, Jesus used the word likewise - meaning "in the same manner!" Comparing the budding of it to the budding of world events. When you see fig trees beginning to bud - you know summer is near. Likewise - In the same manner -
When you see the events pass Jesus mentions - you know his return is near.

Israel is NOT the fig tree. I'm pretty sure Israel is NEVER figurative of a fig tree in the New Testament.

Amen
And when he said,”like in the days of Noah”, he just meant people will be taken by surprise.

 

[samahah]

In Zechariah, chapter 14, the prophet says a time will come when nations gather to attack Jerusalem. In Zechariah 14:12, the prophet says the nations that attack Jerusalem will be struck with a "plague" that will cause their flesh to rot while they are still standing. This might be a fitting description for modern warfare if it were described by a person who lived 2500 years ago, as Zechariah did. Chemical weapons are capable of causing rapid deterioration of flesh. And a blast of heat from a nuclear weapon could have a similar affect. Some Bible scholars, however, believe that this plague could refer to a supernatural event from God to protect the Holy Land.


And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.

Horse nukes ? Interesting how the Futurists will incorporate 'modern warfare' and animal power , by whim.

How do you explain the passage?

Even I cannot say stuff like that, that Israel is not this or that. And it's nothing wrong with what you're saying or how I think it's just the understanding that God has is beyond our understanding

3. The Messiah will appear after the Jews return to Israel
Bible passage: Jeremiah 23:3-6
Written: sometime from 626 to about 586 BC
Fulfilled: end times

In Jeremiah 23:3-6, there is a prophecy that indicates when the Messiah is to appear in the land of Israel. Jeremiah said that it would be after the exiled people of Israel return to their homeland. From a Christian point of view, this is of special interest because Jesus is supposed to appear twice. And this coincides with the fact that the people of Israel have been expelled from their homeland twice, and that they are currently in the process of returning after the second expulsion.

More than 2500 years ago, the Assyrians and Babylonians forced the people of Israel out of their homeland. Many returned during the centuries that followed and then Jesus appeared, about 2000 years ago, and announced that he is the Messiah. Later, the people of Israel were again forced out of their land (by the Romans in 135 AD) and scattered to countries throughout the world.

But, during the past few centuries, millions of exiled Jews around the world have returned to their ancient homeland. And this is one of the reasons why Christians say that the world is being prepared for the return of Jesus Christ. Because, as Jeremiah had prophesied long ago, the Messiah is to appear after the people of Israel return to their land.

The phrase, in Jeremiah 23:5, "I will raise up to David a righteous Branch, a King," refers to the Messiah, and that he will be a king and a descendant of King David, who reigned over Israel about 3000 years ago. Christians believe that when Jesus returns, he will establish a kingdom of peace and righteousness.

Jeremiah 23:3-6
"I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase in number. I will place shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or terrified, nor will any be missing," declares the Lord. "The days are coming," declares the Lord, "when I will raise up to David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The Lord Our Righteousness.

The above interpretation from Scripture can be very dangerous, because Lord Jesus foretold that prior... to His future return, a false-Messiah will come first, working great signs and wonders, that if it were possible, would deceive even His very elect (Matthew 24:23-26). That is also the subject of His warning about the very end of this world in His Book of Revelation given through His servant John to the Christian Church.

The orthodox unbelieving Jews still await the coming of Messiah per Scripture. And the next supernatural one coming as Messiah with the power of great signs and lying wonders to deceive, is who they will believe on. Those unbelieving Jews in today's state of Israel have the materials ready to build their 3rd temple in Jerusalem, and startup old covenant worship again with sacrifices. They believe that is the worship they are still ordained to do as Israel. And that is how the "abomination of desolation" placing of an IDOL in that temple in future false worship, like Jesus warned in Matthew 24:15, will be fulfilled just prior to His return.

And what is really terrible, is that today, already, there are some Christian churches that are siding with those unbelieving Jews in today's Israel in helping them prepare to build their 3rd temple in Jerusalem, and start up old covenant worship again.

4. The Gospel will be preached to the entire world
Bible passage: Matthew 24:14
Recorded: about 30 AD
To be fulfilled: End Times

In Matthew 24:14, the Bible says that the Gospel (the New Testament books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) will be preached throughout the world. The Bible also says that after this happens, the end times will come. The Bible has been preached throughout the world for a long time. But now, with the increasing worldwide availability of television and the Internet, there is greater potential for the Gospel to be preached to everyone, everywhere.

Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

In the Mark 13 version of that, Jesus gave it within... the section of verses about the end when some of us will be delivered up to councils and synagogues to give a Testimony for Jesus by The Holy Spirit, against them.

That is pointing to the time of the 6th Trumpet - 2nd Woe period of Rev.11 when God's "two witnesses" along with the "two candlesticks" (2 Church types) will prophesy against the beast for 1260 days during the "great tribulation".

6. Zechariah foreshadowed modern warfare
Bible passage: Zechariah 14:12
Written: between 520 and 518 BC
To be fulfilled: End Times

In Zechariah, chapter 14, the prophet says a time will come when nations gather to attack Jerusalem. In Zechariah 14:12, the prophet says the nations that attack Jerusalem will be struck with a "plague" that will cause their flesh to rot while they are still standing. This might be a fitting description for modern warfare if it were described by a person who lived 2500 years ago, as Zechariah did. Chemical weapons are capable of causing rapid deterioration of flesh. And a blast of heat from a nuclear weapon could have a similar affect. Some Bible scholars, however, believe that this plague could refer to a supernatural event from God to protect the Holy Land.

Zechariah 14:12
This is the plague with which the Lord will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.

The first part of Zechariah 14 is about the "day of the Lord" with Christ's future coming at the end of this present world. The verses thereafter are pointing to that very event of His coming on the "day of the Lord", and then His future "thousand years" reign over the nations of Revelation 20.

So what is written to occur on that "day of the Lord" per 2 Peter 3:10, and 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3? That is the day that God's consuming fire will melt man's works off this earth, and the sudden destruction upon the wicked. Parallel that with the Zechariah 14:12 events.

7. Many people will go to Jerusalem to seek God's favor
Bible passage: Zechariah 8:22
Written: between 520 and 518 BC
To be fulfilled: End Times

In Zechariah 8:22, the prophet said 2500 years ago that a time will come when many people go to Jerusalem to seek and honor God. This prophecy has been at least partially fulfilled already. The Jews recaptured Jerusalem during the Six Day War in 1967. Since then, people from around the world have toured Jerusalem to visit various sites that are important to the history of Judaism and Christianity. Jerusalem is also an important city to Moslems.

Zechariah 8:22
And many peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to seek the Lord Almighty and to entreat him."

Once again, that is a very dangerous interpretation, because that Scripture is actually set to happen AFTER... Christ's future return when He is reigning over all nations and peoples on earth.

Zechariah 8:13 reveals that as a time in the future when God will have brought back the scattered of BOTH the "house of Judah" (Jews) and the "house of Israel" (ten lost tribes). As of today, ONLY Jews of the "house of Judah" are returning to the holy lands. The ten lost tribes are still scattered among the Gentile nations having lost their identity as part of the old nation of Israel. Only on the day of Christ's future coming will both houses be joined back together, and be taken back to the holy land of promise.

8. Book of Revelation envisioned an army of 200 million
Bible passage: Revelation 9:16
Written: sometime between 54 and 95 AD
To be fulfilled: End Times

In Revelation 9:16, the Bible says that an army of 200 million will one day march toward Israel. Of course, this prophecy hasn't been fulfilled yet, at least not literally. But, as the world's population rises above 6 billion, it is increasingly possible for a coalition of countries to amass an army of 200 million, and this would have been have been unthinkable even 100 years ago.

Revelation 9:16
The number of the mounted troops was two hundred million. I heard their number.

That is a pop notion especially among the false Pre-trib Rapture theory crowd.

The actual meaning in Revelation 9 is Christ using those symbols to point to Satan's host whose main job at the end will be to push lies causing deception. Don't allow any man to deceive you was our Lord Jesus' first warning in the SIGNS of the end He gave His Church (Matthew 24).

Rev.9 is about the 'locust army' of the Book of Joel. God uses the locust insect as a 'symbol' only for how a certain people attacks His land and His people. In Joel 1:6 God showed the locusts represent "... a nation is come up upon My land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion...". That is what the 200 million army of Rev.9 represents, false ones who work deception in the latter days by what comes out of their 'mouths', preparing for the time of "great tribulation".

What comes out of one's mouth, friend? WORDS! And in the case of Satan's host? LIES to cause deception. That... is what that locust army is actually about in Rev.9. It is NOT about a literal military army coming upon Israel, and another way to 'know' that is those Rev.9 events of the locust army do NOT happen on the 7th Trumpet - 3rd final Woe, which is when the battle of Armageddon of Rev.19 will actually be.

So Chad is regurgitating a DOCTRINE FROM MEN with this point about his 200 million man literal army of Revelation 9. It's a popular notion among some Church denominations today, especially those denominations which believe in the false pre-trib rapture theory, thinking they will be raptured prior to the time of great tribulation. The pre-trib doctors thus try to move the battle of Armageddon back in time to fit their false pre-trib rapture theory.

9. The troops would cross the Euphrates
Bible passage: Revelation 16:12
Written: sometime between 54 and 95 AD
To be fulfilled: End Times

In Revelation 16:12, the Bible says there will come a time when the Euphrates River becomes dry so that an army can cross it and march into Israel. When the book of Revelation was written 1900 years ago, it would have taken a great natural disaster, or a great amount of labor to divert the flow of the Euphrates so that an army could cross it. (In 539 BC, Cyrus and his army diverted the flow so that his troops could march across the riverbed and conquer Babylon). But, today, there are a series of dams that would make it much easier to divert the flow of the powerful river.

Revelation 16:12
The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.

That Revelation 9:12-15 timing is the 6th Trumpet - 2nd Woe period. Jesus warned of 3 WOES back in Rev.8. The final 7th Trumpet - 3rd Woe happens at Jesus' coming per Revelation 11, which is the "last trump" that Apostle Paul taught of in 1 Corinthians 15 with being 'changed' at the "twinkling of an eye".

That 6th Trumpet - 2nd Woe period represents the time when Satan and his host come to earth which will begin the final events of the end, and the time of "great tribulation" when he sets up the "abomination of desolation" IDOL in Jerusalem. This 6th Trumpet begins right there in Rev.9:12 and flows all the way to Rev.11:14 with Jesus' future coming on the 7th Trumpet - 3rd Woe.

So that 6th Trumpet is STILL NOT THE LAST DAY WITH THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON, not yet.

That 6th Trumpet - 2nd Woe period will involve the building of the Jew's 3rd temple in Jerusalem and re-established old covenant worship with sacrifices (See Revelation 11:1-2). And like Daniel 9:27 says, after 1260 days the false one will end that worship, and instead place an idol abomination inside the temple instead, and demand all bow to it in false worship. That is what Lord Jesus was quoting from the Book of Daniel when He gave the main SIGNS of the end per Matthew 24:15 and Mark 13.

Daniel said the temple would remain desolate until the consummation. There's no need for anther temple.
All those prophecies will pass within the dome of the Rock or al-Aqsa mosque.
The 'men of sin' will NOT come in the literal name of Christ/Messiah. A false Christ doesn't have to be called 'Christ or Jesus.
However, Muslims do believe that when the Madhi 'returns' Jesus - THE MUSLIM JESUS - will be there following the Madhi around.

Daniel 9 was fulfilled at Christ crucifixion.

But who in the Christian world changes their mind these days! 0.001%

[hopefulson]

I would like to jump in here but this topic breeds a lot of discord and controversy so I am just going to dip my toe in the water to sample the temperature so to speak. So let me just make a group of controversial statements and hope for a civil discussion. (The rapture is a real event) (The event takes place at some point at the middle of the tribulation) (The timing is powerfully inferred in red letters and neither will our physical body disappear but as a direct answer to a direct question by the disciples Jesus tells us that the dead body stays right here.) I believe in fact I deeply believe that the presence of a physical body is in no way a requirement for the rapture event. Not only is the belief fully and demonstrably in error that a body is required, but on it's face it dismisses the greater lesson remarked through and by John The Baptist that God can raise from these stones children for Abraham. There is a lot to this but once you cleanly get past the physical body attachment the issue becomes open for real exploration in The Word. Other than that the clearing of that condition real discussion becomes dead in the water and can go no where. So in my view that is the issue ( The Physical body issue ) that all of us who believe there is a rapture should contend with first.

May Jesus fill us with his wisdom and love and bless us from the darkness

A friend of mine sent me some scarry information as he's been strongly involved with the globalist movement, he's been an eyewitness to the events unfolding.

There was a meeting recently in January by the economic forum and World Health Organization. That spoke very openly about many things that are in the works.

One of the things that they talked about was that the world needs a "Polycrisis" to correct the course of humanity.

These were the words that they were using he said.

They talked openly about all these subjects and the news media was there Fox CNN World News BBC and many others. You're going to be shocked about the things they talked about and as we already know nothing has been posted in the news

They spoke about having a new much deadlier disease outbreak. They are going to claim that it is 20 times deadlier than the covid-19 outbreak.

They also spoke about having a economic upheaval and possibly starting a war that would cause all sorts of Havoc.

The full intention of this is destabilization of all the governments around the world to which they can step in and become the heroes of the world.

It seems fairly incredible that these agencies would do such a thing, however at the end of May they're going to have another meeting it will be a World Pandemic Meeting and somewhere about the same time you're going to start seeing all sorts of messages about this greater virus that's going to be so much stronger than the covid starts bringing up. The whole focus is trying to get the world fearful of what could be.

As you know people in their fear are more than willing to give up all the rights to everything.

They want to implement electronic currency and they're going to use this so-called pandemic as a means to say that money is the spread of the disease.

If you'd like to read up more the man's name is Gary Kah. I believe he has a website referred to GaryKah.com

[Oseas]

Br. Bear,

If I understand you correctly, you're basically saying the demonic duo, false prophet and man of sin, are heretics or backslider, or false teachers that will come from within the church. That kind of thinking is what inspired me to start a website 14 years ago. That idea is pervasive in Christian thought today.

There are verses that talk about false teachers, but very few in end-time prophecy. In my view I see that as "self destructive demonization." Why would anybody want to convert to Christ knowing the demonic duo would emerge from within his church? The 'apostasy' is one of Christianity's biggest blunders and the only major religion that has the wrong definition of apostasy. It is not a defection from truth! It's not being a heretic or lukewarm.

This is the web definition of apostasy.
Apostasy - (noun)
1. The act of abandoning a party or cause.
2. The state of having rejected your religious beliefs, political party, cause or sports team in favor of opposing beliefs, causes or teams.
3. A defection, renunciation, disaffiliation, abandonment or revolt from a previous association.
4. (Islamic definition) Rejection in word or deed of one's former religion.
5. (Christian definition) To fall away from the truth.

It's a political or religious revolt just like what's taking place in the Arab Islamic world today.

If I'm a Hindu who abandoned Hinduism and converted to any other religion...or NO religion at all, I would be an apostate Hindu. If I'm a Republican who abandoned it for the Democratic party, I'm an apostate Republican.

I would go as far as saying that attributing the evils mentioned in 2 Thes. 2 about apostasy, or in any way attributing all the end-time evils upon the Church like the harlot, which many today call "the apostate church," is an outright perversion of God's Word. I'm not getting down on you over this. Just sayin'

The ONLY places we can go to understand 'apostasy' is 2Thes. 2 and Acts 21 because that's the only two places the word is used in the NT. People associate the word apostasia with similar English words like fall away, fallen away, draw away, etc. and believe they mean the same thing. Problem is they are different words that have nothing to do with the end-time apostasy.

This word apostasy is translated 'falling away,' and that's a poor translation of the word. It comes from a word meaning a 'divorce' or to defect and to abandon something. It has nothing to do with TRUTH.

Proof Apostasy has nothing to do with the church...

Notice the text below. From the word 'except' in verse 3c, to the end of verse 12, the church is not implied in any way. In fact the words "but we" in verse 13 prove that Christians (the church) is not part of the apostasy! The word 'but' is a conjunction that shows distinction and opposition to a previous statement. It opposes persons to persons or things previously mentioned or thought of. The distinction in this passage is between the followers of Christ as opposed to the man of sin and his followers. The church is not implied whatsoever.

2 Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3a Let no man deceive you by any means: 3b for that day shall not come, 3c except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders. 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth.

What do the protesters in the Arab world want?
They want no borders, one flag, one currency, and a regional Islamic caliphate. Sound familiar?

Hasan A. Yahya, the Dean of Arab Writers in North America said, "This article calls for wider scope of protest and revolutions in the Arab countries, otherwise, these revolutions and protests are incomplete and misguided. In his opinion, the revolution may satisfy one country, it does not satisfy all Arabs who aspire for unity, one currency, one economy, and one flag that covers a land with no borders between."

Think about this...

"The secret power of lawlessness; the lawless one; whom the Lord Jesus will destroy; counterfeit signs, miracles, and wonders; every sort of evil that deceives those who "are perishing"; who refuse to love the truth and so be saved; and delight in wickedness; and God sends them powerful delusion so that they will believe a lie! "

Does the passage sound like the Church? Why would God send His own Christians powerful delusion? This passage is talking about Muslims not Christians.

The Devil's world is already crumbling like the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. We have just entered the seventh and final Day, or seventh and final millennium, and according to the Scriptures, now, even now, from now on, there will be only and only punishments in the world as a whole. As JESUS said: Luke 17:28--30:
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the Day when the Son of man is revealed.(that is the Lord's Day-the seventh and last Day or seventh and last millennium).

Genesis 19:12-13:
12 And the (two) men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place: 13 For we will destroy this place... Two angels destroyed Sodoma and Gomorrah, now only one will destroy the Devil's world ->the archangel Michael<- (Daniel 12:1-3, and 1Thessalonians 4:16 combined with Revelation 11:15-18 and 12:7-13. Take a look., And Michael already is the cause of the beginning of this current crumbling of the Devil's world. The Devil's world is already crumbling like the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, and there will be great tribulation (severe and strong punishments against all nations-Revelation 11:18-take a look), such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except these days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake these days shall be shortened.

What was the biblical significance of the construction and fall of the TWIN TOWERS of the World Trade Center?
What was the biblical significance of the construction and fall of the TWO TOWERS of the World Trade Center?

In Zechariah 12, the prophet said that there would come a time when the surrounding nations would besiege Jerusalem and Judah (the area around Jerusalem), and that all the nations of the world would gather against Jerusalem, but that God ultimately would save the city and its people. This is widely regarded as an End Time prophecy to be fulfilled in the future.

Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of this prophecy is that it is predicated on Jerusalem being a city of critical interest to the rest of the world. And it just so happens that Jerusalem is the only city in the world that is of interest to the rest of the world.

For Jews, it is their ancient capital, founded by King David about 3000 years ago. Many Arab Moslems, however, believe that the city should be part of an independent state for Palestinian Arabs. The issue of who should control Jerusalem has been a cause of the Arab-Israeli wars during the past century.

And, the conflict between Arabs and Jews has been a primary reason as to why the international community has taken an interest in Jerusalem. In 1947, the United Nations General Assembly approved a plan to carve up the ancient land of Israel into a state for Jews and another for Arabs. This plan would have established Jerusalem as an international city to be governed by the United Nations.

This extremely unusual proposal, suggesting that a city be governed by the United Nations, simply shows the unique status that Jerusalem already has in the world: It is the only city in the world that is of interest to the rest of the world.

Given the history of the city, the volatile conflict between Israel and the surrounding Arab nations, and the unusual interest that the international community has shown in regards to Jerusalem, it seems clear that the groundwork for the future fulfillment of this prophecy is in place.

Zechariah 12:1-5
This is the word of the Lord concerning Israel. The Lord, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the spirit of man within him, declares: "I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness," declares the Lord. "I will keep a watchful eye over the house of Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations. Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts, `The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the Lord Almighty is their God.'

23 ... Wrath shall fall upon this people. --> (of Israel)
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations(from 70AD until 1948, 1878 years of SEVERE PUNISHMENTS and CURSES according Deuteronomy 28:15-68, take a look): and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. --> this prophecy of the Lord already LITERALLY fulfilled from 70AD to 1948, and Revelation 11:2 reveals: --> 2 But the court which is without the Temple(it was destroyed at 70AD) leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles:and the holy city -JEUSALEM- shall they tread under foot forty and two months. --> Revelation 13: 5-9 reveal:
5 And there was given unto him (unto the Gentile Beast of sea-, it means peoples, and nations, and multitudes of all tongues) a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

2. When Israel blooms again, the Kingdom of God will be near
Bible passage: Luke 21:29-31
Recorded: about 30 AD
To be fulfilled: End Times

In Luke 21:29-31, Jesus said that when the fig tree blooms again, people will know that the End Times and Kingdom of God is near. Some Christian scholars believe that the fig tree represents the nation of Israel. This passage is sometimes interpreted to mean that the End Times would not begin until sometime after the nation of Israel regains sovereignty. When Jesus delivered this prophecy about 2000 years ago, Israel was ruled over by the Roman Empire. The people of Israel did not have sovereignty over their own land during that era. But, after centuries of exile, the Jews were able to return to Israel and reclaim sovereignty, in 1948.

Luke 21:29-31
He told them this parable: "Look at the fig tree and all the trees. When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.

Luke 20:35-36 combined with Matthew 5:5 and Revelation 11:15-18, and 1Corinthians 15:24-27

Lk. 20:35-36
35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world(next world-the Kingdom of GOD), and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of GOD being the children of the resurrection.

Matthew 5:5 - 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Revelation 11:15-18
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms OF THIS WORLD are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped GOD,

17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord GOD Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

18 And the nations were (Will be) angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou should give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and should destroy them which destroy the earth.

1Corinthians 15:24-27

24 The END cometh, when JESUS delivered up the kingdom to GOD, even the Father; when He shall have PUT DOWN all RULE and all AUTHORITY and POWER.

25 For He must reign, till he hath put all enemies under His feet.

26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

27 For He hath put all things under His feet. But when He saith all things are put under Him, it is manifest that He is excepted, which did put all things under Him.
