Signs before Jesus comes

That 1/3 spoken of in Zechariah is a little hard to marry with the 144,000 Jews saved in the time of Jacobs Trouble, out of the tribes of Israel, does 1/3 mean there's only 432,000 legitimate Jews at that time, in other words now time???
Possibly so, because there is a theory that not all Israel are Israel in the flesh as well as the spirit. In other words impostor Jews that are not truly Israelites at all???
I think there's some credibility in this theory because certain verses of scripture seem to point to this scenario.

rodd,

The 1/3 of the Jews that will turn back to God will survive God's judgment by fire. The 144,000 Jews that are sealed by God are set apart for a job.

There are about 15,000,000 Jews in the world now. If the tribulation would start now about 5,000,000 Jews would survive.
 
A job???...............now what job do you have in mind?

5 Mill ain't no remnant!

Joel 2

28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.(((6th seal)))
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

Hello all.

I was reading through the posts on this thread when I noticed that someone
stated the following;

"This means the Antichrist will facilitate a peace treaty for seven years, there will be
a temple and the formal legalistic Jewish worship of God will be outlawed after 3.5yrs."


In order for the Jews to be able to build a new temple on the temple mount.
The Jews would need to secure the site first, as it is under the control of Islam.
I remember reading years ago that Islam has three Islamic temples on the mount.
It is the third most holy site for Islam in the world, I would like to see the Jews
claim that ground.

Also, have read that the Jews who are seeking to rebuild the temple have
already stated that they will not introduce animal sacrifices. Performing
animal sacrifices in the modern era would be most unpopular. So how
is it possible that the sacrifices would be stopped by the antichrist?

Don't concern yourself with Islamic control, the hardline Islamic states have been bowled over or are in the process, (Syria) it's my guess that the Peace treaty will contain concessions that will allow the Jews to have equal access to the temple mount.
After the removal of Marbarak, Gadaffi and now Assad, when his Syrian goverment is sudued we will have the 7yr peace process soon after IMO.

The building of the Temple to the Jew is just a monument to the covenant of Law and really flies in opposition to the New Covenant of grace, it's not going to benefit the Jew one iota!
It's nothing to celebrate from a spiritual perspective, at least for the purpose they put it to, but what a prophecy fulfillment it would be!

[h=2]Revelation 11[/h] 1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.


When the antichrist confirms the covenant to divide Israel, he will give Israel all of Jerusalem and half of the temple mount to build a temple. At the middle of the tribulation the antichrist will break the covenant and take Jerusalem and the temple for himself.
 
That's what I've said before, the peace treaty comes with concessions for both sides of course, the site of the Temple is not where the Islamic mosque is, authorities know this is the case, but for the drama to develop an eventual outcome, the idea of the mosque being on the temple site was floated to create the dynamics of the temple issue.
The court area is where the Al Asqua mosque stands.
The forty two months are the future first 42mths of 7 yr trib as in Revelation wherein the Antichrist presents himself as a Messiah figure, that's why I've said before he rules unopposed during this period not from Israel, but from his power base of nations as Israels' savior.
But as I see it, those Jews and Gentiles at the top are involved with the manipulations and deceit of these final times acting in union with Antichrist they know their time is short.

The two witnesses will be in Israel testafing for Jesus for 1260 days Revelation 11:3, 7-12. After the whole world is devoured by the ten kings in the first half of the tribulation, God causes the kings to revolt against the harlot church and give their power to the antichrist Revelation 17:12-18. At the middle of the tribulation the antichrist turns on Israel and takes it from the Jewish people.

The Five Phases of the First Resurrection
(2) The Holy Spirit and the church age saints are caught up to heaven before the antichrist Is given power in the Christian nations. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 KJV,

Hello Eric.


I do have an issue with what you stated above.

I will provide the first three lines from the second letter
that Paul wrote to the Thessalonians.

2 Thessalonians 2

1 Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,

This is the rapture, the return of Christ, the gathering together.

2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

The day of the Lord has not occurred yet, since there are two significant events
that will precede His arrival.

3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

Here Paul specifies the two events that must take place first.

1) The apostasy must occur first, this is the great falling away.

2) The revelation of the man of lawlessness.

Do not be misled, these two events must occur before Jesus returns for
the saints.

DHC,
2 Thessalonians 2:6-8
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:

Who letteth or restrains the mystery of iniquity?

John 16:7-8
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

It is the Comforter in the believers who is letting or restraining evil in the world.
Since He will never leave us nor forsake us, we must be taken away when he is taken away so the antichrist can be revealed.

2 Thessalonians 2:2
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.

What is the day of Christ? It is not the rapture because that is his appearing.

Revelation 6:16-17
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Paul was saying our present persecution is not the day of wrath that will come because the antichrist has not been revealed.

This sequence of events is impossible as the false prophet and antichrist work in conjunction with one another for some time which is the time during the initial 3.5yrs.
Also under your assumption the kings move as one without a leader and the direction of Antichrist.......but if you read closely..... the kings themselves are not unified, and take no directives until anti-christ becomes their head, then after he recieves sovereign authority to control does he and the states themselves become a unified power to make war, and move as a unified force unfettled under his leadership.
But first there's an alliance between the two beasts and this calls for a certain amount of time, but this doesn't take long only 42mths when antichrist has positioned himself decieves the world (creates his status globally) then he destroy the city on the seven hills, or maybe it's just the area of the Vatican because it's a sovereign nation in it's own right, the smallest in the world.

That's why Revelation 17 talks about the last pope being the eighth pope, the last from what?.... the Catholic Church rising from the ashes in 1927, the Lateran Treaty which re empowered the papacy, making the Vatican a sovereign state, and the pope therefore its king, pope francis a jesuit and right now he's that eighth.
He is the false prophet of the book of Revelation, there can be no doubt!

Because their time of empowerment is parallel, I'm sure the antichrist will be Nicolas Sarkozy the ex-French president, he to will rise from the ashes of his political demise in France, speculation has it that he's soon to make a comeback.
During his Presidency he forfilled many prophetic assumptions laying the ground work for the united empire and the demise of two kings that he lead to the overthrow thereof, Egypt and Libya, also the fall of Syria is also his brainchild. See Daniel 11:42.
We are talking about the reign of antichrist here, not Antiochus, because he never extended his power this far or ruled over many nations, no this is future and relates to antichrist.
This has been forfilled under his guidance and direction, Western forces were put under authority.
Anyhow interesting times ahead, and very soon I do believe.

When scripture speaks about "the comfortor being taken out of the way" for the Antichrist to be revealed, doesn't mean that he'll just appear out of nowhere it means that he'll be in his position of power to effect the lives of people and nations and undertake his deceptions of the world.
Scripture says the secret powers or hidden powers of Satan are at work and always have been here and working....it is wrong to assume this relates to the timing of the translation of the saints that we must go the very second he appears on the TV or something like that.
Quite the contrary he makes war (with laws) against Christians in the first 42 mths of his reign (see Rev13:7) and I think that'll have to do with the homosexual acceptance thing and the intolerance problems between Islam and the West due to terrorism, our refusal to embrace the new ideology to embrace world peace, so we will be branded non conformists, potential terrorists, something like that it must be.

The restraint of the holy spirit being taken away, just means Antichrist can only act on Gods say so and in his timeframe, because only he is almighty and sovereign. It doesn't mean Antichrist cannot be here when the holy spirit is in the world or visa versa and therefore christians cannot be either, remember Satan and Jesus where on the same planet at the same time in the confrontation in the wilderness temptations.
No, his direct appearing has nothing to do with the timing of the rapture.

This is a very difficult question and partly the reason why variations in eschatology occur.


We have a number of possibilities for the restrainer.

1) God.
2) An angel.
3) The Church.
4) A heavenly being other than an angel.


John 16:7-8
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

This is your understanding being presented here, hence, your eschatology is unique.

Your seeing the restrainer as the church, thus you must remove the church first in a rapture.
Then the antichrist may step onto the stage.

You have corrupted Paul's letter to the Thessalonians, Paul's letter does not say what you
state it says.

Eric, Christ returns once to judge the living and the dead, not multiple times. You will be here
when the AC appears, that is what must occur first before the day of the Lord.

DHC,

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.


The appearing of Jesus at the rapture is not a time of judgment on the earth. But the judgment will probably come soon after it.

My understanding is not unique.

He who letteth is an individual. God will judge men after he who letteth is removed.

It is the Holy Spirit in the church that restrains evil.

You think I have corrupted Paul's letter.

I just understand it.

The appearing of Jesus or the gathering and the day of the Lord or the day of Christ are two different events.

We agree on alot of scripture but not all.

This sequence of events is impossible as the false prophet and antichrist work in conjunction with one another for some time which is the time during the initial 3.5yrs.
(((I agree)))

(((I agree but this all happens in the first 42 month)))


Daniel 7:7-8
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

(((This is accomplished in Ezekiel 38&39)))

The little horn is a colony of the 10 horns. I believe it is America.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.


The appearing of Jesus at the rapture is not a time of judgment on the earth. But the judgment will probably come soon after it.

My understanding is not unique.

He who letteth is an individual. God will judge men after he who letteth is removed.

It is the Holy Spirit in the church that restrains evil.

You think I have corrupted Paul's letter.

I just understand it.

The appearing of Jesus or the gathering and the day of the Lord or the day of Christ are two different events.

Hello Eric.

One event Eric.

In Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians, Paul describes the return of Christ and the
gathering together of the saints. The dead (asleep) in Christ rise first and we join them
in the clouds to meet the Lord.


1 Thessalonians 4
13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren,
about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord,
will not precede those who have fallen asleep.
16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel
and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
17
Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.
18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Dear Eric,

How can you acquaint America as the ten you are only one, and may I say with no offense to you, actually a vassal one at that. Daniel says that they give over to him, their authorities, I just don't understand how you could possibly arrive at your conclusion rational deduction would conclude we have multiple nations involved here!

I guess it'd be hard to comprehend how a union of nations other than the EU as in the Mediterranean Union could suddenly become the power base of Antichrist and the most powerful force in the world in a matter of what would seem moments if you don't understand the true power structure that governs the world.
Not you're fault, not many people do.

Fact is, nations did once exist as separate entities ruled by kings, the International Bankers and their money markets rule, the elite politicians that get to the top are bought and owned, my nation and yours are at the mercy of these people, that is the real world in the 20th and 21st Centuries, and that is why Christ is soon to return.
They have an agenda and that is one world government under the eventual leader whom the bible says will be Antichrist.
That's why scripture says "it will come like a flood", because when all the pieces are in place they're ready to go on Gods say so.
By the way "google" up the statue of liberty or the plaque of the statue and just see who the controllers of your country really are apart from the Bank of Rothschild.
Same goes for all the western nations, we all live under this same sense of freedom and political free choice called democracy.
America and Australia have been fighting wars on behave of this group over the 20-21st centuries, but now they are ready to dump the so-called power nations because the jobs done and their global dictatorship is soon to begin.

That's why power and wealth can shift in a flash and as Daniel says this new global power block or Empire of ten will begin to rule because the hidden world power system wants it that way, and it can happen very quickly. It's just a matter of positioning because they actually rule.

Will we see Antichrist?

Your interpretation of 2 Thessalonians 2, is flawed, the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him refers to the rapture or the saints meeting with Christ in the air, not the seen as lightening flashes across the sky to be seen by all.
That day will not come until....the man of lawlessness "is revealed". This only means not before he is revealed, and it also DOESN'T necessarily mean on "the day" he is revealed either,....... it just means the translation doesn't happen before,......but will happen sometime after....scripture does tell us we're persecuted for 42 mths after by this Antichrist, so I'd say the translation will happen then. We see him for 42mths, that's my take!

So the one that's taken our of the way is the Holy Spirits restraining effects on Satan and his servants, rather than the "comforter" the Holy Spirit as the "Restrainer" will be taken out of the way, the comforter will remain and always remains in Christians, we will experience possibly experience death, that's why Revelation says it could be loss of property, prison or death.
This is referring to the time of persecution under Antichrists rule of 42mths. Rev 6:11, and 13:5-7.

Blessing to you,
Rod.

NATO will be the power base for the antichrist and I believe America will be the 11th horn or kingdom of the antichrist. Read my post on the Kingdom of the beast.
 
Hello Eric.

Please consider the following quotations.

Matthew 24
29 But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30 And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
31 And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

1 Corinthians 15
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

Revelations 11
15 Then the seventh angel sounded; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying,
The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever.
16 And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God,
17 saying, We give You thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who are and who were, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign.
18 And the nations were enraged, and Your wrath came, and the time came for the dead to be judged, and the time to reward Your bond-servants
the prophets and the saints and those who fear Your name
, the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.
 
Eric,

If Obama was to become the Antichrist, why would he require another powerbase???.....Everyone has heard and knows the military might and capacity of America is the most powerful in the world. There would be no need!
Also if Antichrist was the American President how and why could his authority include the whole of Europe and England etc, these are the true power nations of the world, sorry!...... not you guys,........ sorry to tell you but you just provide the manpower to fight the wars for the Big Euro Banks and their international recourse interests.
You people are just a tax plantation just like us,........ we're providing the weapons and manpower that is creating the global control that antichrist will have, all the wars of the 20th + 21st Centuries have been aimed at controlling and taming the nations bringing them under the overarching authority of the United Nations.
This has been a plan for many hundreds of years, and is almost complete.
Also the Antichrist must be a Jew, an antithesis of Jesus in every way, to be a possible Messiah he must have Jewish cred......he's got to be one of them, that's just basic and obvious.
The little horn is a man who rises to great power and controls the tens horns along with there crowns, symbolizing their power and their authority.
You like us are controlled and are at the mercy of the International banking system, we have all been weakened through their application of debt.....National Debt.

They print more money use it for wars etc, then charge us for using it, placing that debt on our and our children's heads justifying more tax burden, they can't loose the banks just keep making more off the people. Anyhow these institutions are controlled, and these people are the ones ruling the world, the front men are the politicians.

If you can't grasp what I'm saying checkout John Kennedy's speech, on subversive hidden powers that conspire against the nation, it's on Youtube, that's if they haven't taken it down.
Kennedy knew they were starting to destroy your country through debt and tried to warn people who could understand what was going on, unfortunately there wasn't many. Of course he was smeared with sexual misconduct by his enemies to discredit him at the time and deflect proper investigations into reasons why.
As I've stated in my previous post if they want to destroy your nation they just have to revert to an alternative international currency as the worlds base currency, and give your dollar it's true worth or value according to your National Debt.
If they ever do this, it would be catastrophic for America, the ordinary people.

No, Antichrist will be a Jew and he will control the old roman region of the world of Europe and the Mediterranean region, the Bankers of the world are behind it and they will fund it and make it so, and they can do it overnight. As scripture says,....it will come like a flood,....and that's how it can and will happen.

That's why I've said Sarkozy is a strong candidate, because he was deeply involved with this EU and Med Union thing, he ticks all the other boxes as well, and he's talking of a political comeback, who would suspect???

2 Thessalonians 2:8-12
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.

God will choose the antichrist by making the nonbelievers believe him.
