The FINAL Fulfillment of the SUCCOT PROPHECY

Will not be 100 Percent COMPLETED Until MESSIAH

Returns w ith

God’s Kingdom to bring Israeli BELIEVERS

Huge Joy following Armageddon as he rules Jew & Gentile!

Followed by a brightness of his coming to end wars for 1000 Years,

Then comes a 2ND last great war of Gog & Magog against HIS People,

That Will Then be Followed by the Eternal Heaven Age of New Jerusalem!

During the past 61 years every major conflict, which has suddenly erupted in the Middle East and its environs, has caused countless numbers of men and women to once again suddenly become very religious, and to flock back to local churches in droves. To at least some extent, this has been happening in the past, and now, because of a basic misunderstanding of the coming of Christ. Those who rush back into a better relationship with Christ, at the first sign of a major conflict in the Middle East zone, may well be expecting that the conflict will continue, and eventually end in the final Battle of Armageddon. They associate the return of Christ only with what is called the Second Advent. However, there is a coming of Christ for the saved, which occurs before the Lord’s Second Advent.

The following Scriptures describe the Second Advent of Christ, which occurs when He comes to end the final Battle of Armageddon.

Revelation 1:7 – Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

Zechariah 12:10 – And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

Luke 21:25-27 – And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [26] Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. [27] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

If I believed that the Second Advent and the catching out of the saved were the same event, then I also would think that, each time a conflict broke out in the Middle East area, it might continue until it ended with the Battle of Armageddon. However, we find that, after the blowing of the seventh trump in the Book of Revelation, there is a massive heavenly judgment for rewards being ministered to all types of believers from all ages, and we also discover that, at this time of pre-advent judgment, we are still four chapters, and six vials, away from Armageddon.

Revelation 11:15,18 – 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. [18] And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

Revelation 16:16 – And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

II Corinthians 5:10 – For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

So, if God’s prophets, saints, and those that fear his name, are in heaven being judged by God for rewards, then they had to be “caught out” by Christ before the Battle of Armageddon, which occurs when the last of seven vials is poured out.

Revelation 16:16-18 – And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. [17] And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. [18] And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

Therefore, the following Scriptures refer, not to the Second Advent, but to a “catching out” that occurred earlier, and which is described in the following Scriptures:

I Corinthians 15:51,52 – Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, [52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

I Thessalonians 4:16-18 – 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: [17] Then 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.

So why have I gone to all this trouble to establish there are two comings of Christ between now and the beginning of His Millennial Reign

? Because there MUST be, BEFORE He comes, a period of what seems, to the world and Israel, to be a genuine lull in fighting which give Israel hope for peace. Before Christ came for all of the saved two things had to happen:

1. Israel had to return to become a real, physically alive, nation (Ezekiel 37). That has happened! I covered that in 5 Blogs last week.

2. T here would have to be, what seemed to be, a genuine lull in the fighting with the nations around Israel, which gave

her a false hope of peace. This should occur soon!

I Thessalonians 5:3,4 – For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

There has been no peace between Israel and her Islamic neighbors, within and without, for some 61 years, only terror and bitter hatred. The terrorist acts will suddenly cease, and the sheer shock from it will, within months, lead Israel to hope it is real, and will continue. After a brief period of time, both Israel and the U.S. will feel a sense of deliverance from terror, and a feeling of safety will settle over them. Those who always get religious, when they fear the return of Christ is near, will again abandon trying to restore fellowship with God, and the western world powers will all settle back for a long winter’s nap. It is at this time that the words of Jesus, concerning the time he comes for his children, will be fulfilled.

Believe it or not, the Persian and Arab horns and toes of Daniel are finally wising up, and will eventually appear to be turned by diplomatic dialog toward peaceful intent, but it will all be a ruse on their part to give Israel hope it might be genuine. When Israel appears to have a hope it might eventually have peace, then the forces of Islam will strike to begin a massive conventional war with Israel, as the rest of the world sets and watches, including the United States.

Matthew 24:44 – Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

After Messiah’s coming the prophecies of Isaiah, Ezekiel and Zechariah will be all be completely fulfilled concerning the Feast of Tabernacles (Succot).

Isaiah 2:2-4 – And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. [3] And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. [4] And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Ezekiel 37:24-28 – And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. [25] And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever. [26] Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. [27] My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people. [28] And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

Zechariah 14:16-19 – And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

[17] And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. [18] And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. [19] This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

Revelation 20:7-10 – And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, [8] And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. [9] And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. [10] And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Revelation 21:1-3 – And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. [2] And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. [3] And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

Begin Excerpt from The Jerusalem Post

Thousands of Christian pilgrims arrive to fulfill ancient Succot prophesy

October 4, 2009

JOSIAH DANIEL RYAN , THE JERUSALEM POST

The voices of thousands of Christian pilgrims worshiping “Yehoshua Christ” echoed for miles over the hills of the Judean Desert late Friday night – the first night of Succot.

Just as the silence of Shabbat was settling over Jerusalem, the pilgrims – representing dozens of nations – came down to the shores of the Dead Sea in a long caravan of buses, wearing Judaic emblems like tzitzit, kippahs, and Stars of David on their clothing and jewelry.

One Christian woman from Brazil, who said she was visiting Israel for the first time, was dressed from head to toe in an outfit tailored from Israeli flags. Sharp blasts from shofars, brought along by enthusiastic worshipers, often punctuated the evening’s activities.

Around 4,000 gathered on the moonlit beach of Ein Gedi to worship “the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob” and to fulfill an ancient Hebrew prophesy penned more than 2,500 years ago by the prophet Zecharia, which they say predicts that people from every nation will someday join hands with Jews to celebrate Succot.

“The nations… shall come up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles” the Web site of

the International Christian Embassy of Jerusalem, which hosted the celebration, quotes from the Bible.

“Say tonight, I am a part of the fulfillment of the prophesy,” a worship leader urged the cheering crowd, who sang Hebrew classics like Shalom Aleichem and Hine Ma Tov. “You will bring blessings upon your nations.”

Many of the pilgrims also said they understood their presence in the Holy Land for Succot was part of the grand epic of history described in the Bible by the Jewish prophets.

“We are here to be a part of history,” said Tove Tveita, a Norwegian Christian participant. “We have the same history as

the Jews. We believe in the same God, and we believe in a Jewish Messiah.

“The Prophet Zecharia said all of the nations would gather for Succot, and now we are here to enjoy him in his land.

What’s happening tonight was written.”

The Succot feast held in Ein Gedi was the inaugural event for a week of celebrations being hosted by the ICEJ, with nearly 7,000 Christians in attendance.

The Ministry of Tourism said this “Feast of the Tabernacle” is the largest annual tourist event that occurs in Israel and that the boost to the local economy is expected to be between $16 and $18 million.

“Christian tourism to Israel, in all its streams, represents one of our most important targets,” said Tourism Minister Stash Misezhnikov in a press statement regarding the celebration.

Officials from the ICEJ said that part of their purpose in Israel is to help support the country financially.

“We want to come and help economically support Israel,” said ICEJ spokesman David Parsons. “We realized that it’s important. This festival brings a huge injection of money into the local economy and it happens even in years of economic downtown.”

But not everyone is pleased with the annual influx of evangelical Christians during Succot, and some Jewish leaders say they are suspicious of the ICEJ’s intentions.

Rabbi Tovia Singer, the director of Outreach Judaism – an organization that works to combat missionary activities aimed at Jews – said that while he appreciates the boost to the local economy, most of the Christians who are in town for the festival want nothing more than to win conversions.

“They have not come to pray for Jews but to prey on Jews,” said Singer. “On one hand it’s a very good thing to have them here, but the problem is that there is a price

to pay because these evangelical Christians also come from denom inations deeply

involved in Jewish evangelism.

Parsons has stressed, however, that the Christians are not here to win over converts and that his organization firmly discourages pilgrims from disseminating Christian literature while touring the country.

In our Archive Special Prophecy Update Number 164B, which follows our MEMRI Excerpt below, the story of a young Muslim boy is told.

Had the IDF not detected a suicide belt provided to the 14 year old boy at a checkpoint near Nablus, he would have lost his own life, and caused others to suffer the same fate.

Begin Excerpts from Middle East Media Review Institute (MEMRI)

Saudi Sheikh Muhammad Al-Munajid Describes the Virgins of Paradise, Says That In Paradise, A Man Has the Strength of 100 in Eating, Drinking, and Sex

MEMRI Report Number 2573

October 1, 2009

Following are excerpts from an interview with Saudi Islamist lecturer and author Sheikh Muhammad Al-Munajid, which aired on Al-Majd TV on July 25, 2009

(To view this clip, visit http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/2237.htm.)

Sheikh Al-Munajid is known for his controversial statements and fatwas – including a fatwa stating that Mickey Mouse should be killed. He called the 2008 Beijing Olympics the “bikini Olympics” and referred to them as “satanic,” and has stated that women must not exercise in public. He has also discussed how Western “beasts” use public toilets and wear colored underwear “to conceal all that filth.”

Following the December 2004 Southeast Asia earthquake and tsunami, Al-Munajid called the disaster “punishment” for sex tourism on New Year’s Eve and for drunkenness on Christmas.

“The Women of Paradise Are Pure, Unblemished, Menstruation-Free, Free of Feces, Urine, Phlegm, Children”

Interviewer: “How does one conduct relationships in Paradise – whether with the black-eyed virgins or with Muslim women who entered Paradise?

[…]

“Muhammad Al-Munajid: Allah said that the black-eyed virgins are beautiful white young women, with black pupils and very white retinas, whose skin is so delicate and bright that it causes confusion. Allah said that they are like hidden pearls.

They have wide eyes, and they have not been touched by man or jinn. They are virgins, who yearn for their husbands. They are all the same age, morally and physically beautiful. They are like precious gems and pearls in their splendor, their clarity, their purity,

and their whiteness. They are like hidden pearls – as pure as a pearl within a shell, untouched by man. Each one of them is so beautiful that you can see the bone-marrow through the delicate flesh on their legs.

“Such brilliant beauty does not exist in this world. Where can you find such beauty? Whereas the women of this world may suffer, for days and nights, from menstruation, from blood for 40 days after childbirth, from vaginal bleeding and from diseases – the women of Paradise are pure, unblemished, menstruation-free, free of feces, urine, phlegm, children… Moreover, Allah cleaned them of all impure and foul things, both in appearance and character.

“In character, they are not jealous, hateful, or angry.

They are not greedy.”

[…]

In Paradise, The Women “Are Restricted to Tents, Locked Up for the Husband – There Is No Such Thing as Going Out”

“They are restricted to tents, locked up for the husband.

There is no such thing as going out. When he comes home – they are there. There is no such thing in Paradise as a man coming home and not finding his wife there. Allah described them as women who lower their gaze, and never look at anybody but their husband. As for deriving pleasure – the man is given the strength of…”

Interviewer: “Sheikh Muhammad, you said she looks only at her husband, but today, things are different.

Today, husbands don’t look only at their wives, or vice versa – except for a few, on whom Allah has taken mercy.”

“In Paradise, a Man Gets the Strength of 100 Men When It Comes To Eating, Drinking, Passion, And Sex”

Muhammad Al-Munajid: “There are some pious, pure men, who have eyes only for their wives, and there are some pious, pure, and obedient wives, who have eyes only for their husbands. But today, in the marketplace, in films, and so on, people’s eyes roam freely. The Internet… The people of this world… There is a big difference when it comes to deriving pleasure.

“In this world, men work hard and tire themselves out in order to derive pleasure. The Prophet Muhammad says that in Paradise, a man gets the strength of 100 men when it comes to eating, drinking, passion, and sex.”

SPECIAL PROPHECY UPDATE NUMBER 164B

March 26, 2004

Dying for 72 Virgins and 22 Dollars!

The unbelievable fanaticism of the terrorist groups has been manifested by their use of women and children as homicide bombers.

Had the IDF not detected a suicide belt provided to a 14 year old boy at a checkpoint near Nablus on Wednesday, he would have lost his own life, and caused others to suffer the same fate. And, as I have indicated for many years, this is a war of ideology between two quite different societies: one that does not force its religious beliefs on others, and one that believes it is justified by teachings in the Koran to kill those who will not believe as they do, and will be greatly rewarded by Allah if they do. When asked by the Israelis why he was performing this act, he replied, “Blowing myself up is the only chance I’ve got to have sex with 72 virgins in the Garden of Eden.” If you will click on the Prophecy Update Archives at the top of this Update, and scroll down to Special Prophecy Update Number 113C, “Why are a few willing to be martyred for Allah?,” you will find seven quotes taken directly from the Koran that tell of the great rewards that will be given to those who are martyred for Allah, particularly in a Jihad. For a rational westerner, it seems fantastic that anyone could possibly believe these promises, whether he be atheistic, agnostic, or Christian, but let me assure you that most of the Islamic believers do, and that is why only the return of Jesus Christ can being an end to this culture of madness. Thirty-one suicide bombers have been less than 18 years old, and more than 40 minors who were actively involved in planning suicide bombings have been arrested. In the last three years, 22 shootings and bombings were perpetrated by minors. The 14 year old, according to Israeli officials, was fully aware of his actions and wanted to blow himself up, because he had been promised 72 virgins in heaven and 100 NIS. One official said he would not be surprised if they started using pregnant women since Israel had become aware of their willingness to use children. The organizer and spiritual leader of Hamas, who was killed by the Israelis last week, is

the one who issued an Islamic writ allowing the first use of women in suicide bombings, over some objections of his own followers.

I Thessalonians 5:3,4,9 – For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. [9] For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

What a joy it is to be saved by, and to serve, the God who died for me, so that I could have a reward far more than I could ever imagine, and certainly better than 72 virgins and 22 dollars. God gave me one virgin for a wife now, for which I am eternally thankful, and I didn’t have to kill anyone to induce him to do it. And, quite frankly, what he has promised me in heaven, if I love him, is far greater than 72 virgins and 22 dollars. My God’s rewards are based on love, not on suicide and killing others for him. I have the mind of Christ, not the

mind of a fanatical religious group who possess the spiritual mind of antichrist.

I Corinthians 2:9-16 – But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

[10] But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. [11] For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. [12] Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. [13] Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. [14] But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. [15] But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. [16] For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Quite frankly, how can one compare 72 virgins and 22 dollars to what God has promised those that love him, and you don’t have to kill anyone to receive it.

Acts 20:21 – Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation 21:1-5 – And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. [2] And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. [3] And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell

with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. [4] And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. [5] And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Israeli Dolphin subs upgraded for missiles, larger fuel capacity

DEBKAfile Special Report

October 4, 2009, 1:27 PM (GMT+02:00)

Western naval sources report that Israel’s German-made Dolphin submarines have been heavily modified: its torpedo tubes enlarged to accommodate missiles, new electronics installed and its fuel capacity expanded to keep the vessel at sea for 50 days without refueling. Eight years after receiving the first three Dolphin subs from Germany and two more last month, naval sources rate them the most modern non-nuclear subs in any world navy.

Israel is reported by foreign sources to have equipped the new Dolphin-class subs with Israel-made 1,500-km range cruise missiles carrying 200 kilo

ton nuclear warheads and 135-kilometer range US-made Harpoon missiles also fitted with nuclear

warheads. These missiles, fired through the newly-enlarged 650mm-26-inch tubes, can reach Iranian coastal targets including its nuclear sites

as well as naval, port and Revolutionary Guards facilities.

The Dolphins’ expanded fuel tanks enable them to cover distances of up to 10,000 kilometers from their Mediterranean home port (instead of 8,000 kilometers heretofore) and spend more time – up to 50 days

– off the Iranian coast.

DEBKAfile’s military sources note: Their presence outside Isr aeli w

aters is a powerful deterrent to any surprise nuclear or conventional attack, endowing Israel with an instantaneous second-strike nuclear capability.

In June, an Israeli Dolphin passed through the Suez Canal for the first time, escorted by Egyptian Navy vessels, relaying a message to Tehran that Cairo would open the waterway to Israeli warships for a short cut to the Persian Gulf (instead of the long way round the Cape of Good Hope) should the controversy over Iran’s nuclear program get out of hand.

On Sept 30, DEBKAfile reported the delivery of the last two Dolphin-class U212 subs Israel ordered from the German HDW shipyards at Kiel, raising its total submarine fleet to five.

Unlike the first three, the new U212 Dolphins have a fuel cell based on an air-independent propulsion system which enables them to stay under water for more than a week without surfacing. They are also very quiet and hard for Iranian sea hunters to detect.

AN EXPOSITION OF EZEKIEL 37 – PART 4

October 4, 2009

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

In Part 3, using Ezekiel 37:6, we presented the building of a living nation ( Israel)

over her dead, dry bones in the Gentile valleys of the world: “And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.” The details of how this was done Ezekiel outlined in verses 7 through 12. The outline’s conclusion was the placing of Jews in their natural homeland – the land of Israel.

In this Part 4 we will present the final aspect of God’s work – the spiritual rebirth of the nation of Israel, as described in Ezekiel 37, verses 13 & 14: “And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, [14] And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord.”

Verse 13 begins, “And ye shall KNOW that I am the Lord.” This represents the final aspect of God’s word outlined in verse 6.

It is the spiritual rebirth of the remnant of Israel at the end of the Great Tribulation Period.

Only one-third of the population of Israel will survive this time of terror, according to verses 8 & 9 of Zechariah 13: “[8] And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein

shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.

[9] And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.” And, according to Revelation 12:6 & 17, they are to flee into the Negev, with a remnant of the woman’s seed (Jesus Christ) in their midst for 3 and ½ years: “[6] And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.” “[17] And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Verse 13 continues: “WHEN I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves.” Between the word “WHEN” in verse 13, and the word “THEN” in verse 14, is the prophecy of the gathering, the physical rebirth, spiritual rebirth, and millennial restoration

of the nation of Israel. It is a description of

a physical gathering and rebirth of a nation brought up out of a worldwide Gentile graveyard.

The close of verse 13 shows Israel as we know her today – a nation physically reborn from the foreign ground of Gentile nations to her home

ground of Israel.

Verse 14 marks the spiritual rebirth of the nation of Israel: “And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: THEN shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord.” At the end of 3 and ½ years of terrible worldwide horror, a very wonderful thing will happen – the believing remnant of Israel will accept their returned Messiah, Jesus Christ, as their Savior and Lord. The closing statement of verse 14 leaves no doubt that, at this point in time, the entire remnant of the nation of Israel, having survived the time of “Jacob’s Trouble,” will have been made aware of, and will know, that all the words spoken by

the Lord concerning His remnant have been performed by His power alone. I do not say they were not involved in it, but I know it had to His power that worked in them.

Romans 11:23-28 – And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. [24] For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree

? [25] For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

[26] And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: [27] For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

[28] As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.

Excerpt from Alice in Wonderland

“[If I had a world of my own, everything would

be nonsense.

Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t.

And contrary wise, what it is it wouldn

’t be.
And what it wouldn’ t be, i

t would.

You see?]”

And so I haven’t answered the question,

For what it wouldn’t be, it would.

And contrary wise, transparency would be nontransparent,

Because everything would be what it isn’t.

You see?

Welcome to 2009!

Before you read the excerpt from the Jerusalem Post, consider the reference which immediately follows from Wikipedia.

Begin Excerpt from Wikipedia

“[Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was born near Garmsar in the village of Aradan, the fourth

of seven children of an ironworker, grocer, barber and blacksmith who changed his name from Saborjhian when the family moved to Tehran.

However, Kasra Naji who wrote one of the most important biographies of Ahmadinejad available in the English language, contradicts this claim and adds that the name was actually ‘Sabaghian’ which means ‘dye-masters’ in Persian.]”

I don’t know the answer as to whether or not he is Jewish born, but this claim by London’ s Daily Telegraph

should get a rise out of him.

‘Iranian president was born Jewish’

October 3, 2009

JPost.com Staff , THE JERUSALEM POST

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was born Jewish and converted to Islam, according to a report in London’s Daily Telegraph.

The Saturday report cited a photograph from 2008 which showed Ahmadinejad holding up his identity card, bearing his former last name, Sabourjian, a common Jewish name in Iran.

The Telegraph said that the name was “Jewish” for cloth weaver, and that the Iranian president’s family had changed their name when they converted to Islam.

“The name derives from “weaver of the Sabour,” the name for the Jewish Tallit shawl in Persia,” the report said.

The report also cited experts as speculating that Ahmadinejad’s anti-Semitic rhetoric may be a kind of overcompensation to conceal his heritage.

“Every family that converts into a different religion takes a new identity by condemning their old faith… By making anti-Israeli statements he is trying to shed any suspicions about his Jewish connections,” Ali Nourizadeh, the head of the Centre for Arab and Iranian Studies was quoted as saying.
