ALAS, WHO SHALL LIVE WHEN GOD DOETH THIS?

THE LATTER DAYS PROPHECIES OF BA’LAAM!

April 30, 2012

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

END TIME PROPHECIES OF BALAAM, THE SON OF BE’OR!

As you read this exposition of Numbers 24:21-26, please bear in mind that Moses and Balaam both prophesied in the Exodus at the same time in the Negev Wilderness, and that neither of them entered into the promised land. The Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Grecian, Roman, and Umayyad Empires were still future. The birth of kings Saul and David were in the distant future during the Exodus. It is important to know where the people named lived when Balaam and Moses prophesied, and what the terms referred to meant at that time.

Numbers 24:21-23 – And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock. [22] Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.

[23] And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!

The Kenites lived in the rocky cliffs of En-Gedi to the west of Moab, where they thought themselves to be tactically safe from enemy attacks. But, as Balaam prophesied, they were numerically reduced by different enemies and, when the Assyrian Empire drove into the area, it carried many Kenites into captivity in the upper Euphrates and Tigris Rivers. When Nebuchadnezzar’s golden statue head in Daniel 2 swept into the area, after conquering the Assyrian Empire, few of the Kenites survived in their home area.

Numbers 24:24 –And SHIPS shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.

Chittim represents the Mediterranean Seacoast Ports of countries that bordered on it. The different occupants that have dominated it in chronologically since the Assyrian’s were the Babylonian, Persian, Grecian, Roman, and Umayyad Islamic Empires.

The Assyrians (Ashur) were themselves to be overcome – first. by the Greeks under their famous Macedonian (Alexander the Great) and his successors, followed by the Romans. Eber was the grandson of Shem through Arphaxad, and Eber started the posterity of the Hebrew peoples. So Balaam prophesied the Greeks and Romans would conquer the Hebrew descendants of Eber. And his prophecy was fulfilled long ago by the Grecian and Roman Empires. However, the southern flank of the Roman Empire was conquered by the massive Umayyad Empire. It is from this Islamic posterity, now made up of 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide, the 10 toes of Daniel 2 and 10 horns of Daniel 7 will arise out of the revived Umayyad Caliphate, which is the eighth head of Revelation 17:11-13,17. There are only seven heads on the beast because the eighth is the same faith and, as such, is referred to an eighth, since it is separated in time from the seventh.

Revelation 17:11-13 – And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. [12] And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

[13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. [17] For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

The prophecy of the eighth head has not yet been fulfilled, but it will soon be manifested by the attack of 10 Islamic horns led by the Syrian King of the North from Syria. The ships from many Gentile Chittim seaports will operate across the Mediterranean Sea to provide a protective nuclear umbrella over both Islam and Israel. The coming war will nr tectonically horrific, but it will not be nuclear. The tectonic terror unleashed on this earth by God for rejection of his son will be far worse than a nuclear war during the pouring out of the vials of his wrath.

Daniel 11:40,41 – And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, AND WITH MANY SHIPS: and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. [41] He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown:.

Matthew 24:21,22 – For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

Daniel 12:1 –And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

Numbers 24:25 – And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.

Begin Excerpt from DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

US military drills Day One after strike on Iran, deploys F-22s to Gulf

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

April 28, 2012, 11:12 AM (GMT+02:00)

US Navy, Air Force, ground, intelligence and special forces units based at home, in Europe and the Middle East, took part this week in a special exercise ordered by President Barack Obama to simulate reactions to a potential US-Israel strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, DEBKAfile’s exclusive military and Washington sources report.

Sunday, April 22, the US also transferred a number of advanced stealth F-22 fighter bombers, believed to be from the 302nd Fighter Squadron 302, from the joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska to the Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates.
According to our sources, the F-22 jets will join the F-15s of the Massachusetts Air National Guard’s 104th Fighter Wing which were transferred to the Al Udeid base a month ago.

Their mission will be to destroy the Iranian air force and air defense batteries so as to clear the way for US and Israeli bombers to go into action against Iran’s nuclear sites and the strategic infrastructure of its army and Revolutionary Guards Corps.

This unprecedented US buildup of air might – supplementing the aircraft on the decks of the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Enterprise, to be joined by a third carrier as soon as the offensive gets underway – shows Tehran that the Obama administration is serious about using military means as extra pressure on Iran to give way in diplomatic negotiations – both with the six powers and with the US through clandestine channels.

Both moves took place as the United States and five other world powers prepares for the second round of talks with Iran scheduled for next month to rein in its nuclear program.

The comment Israel’s chief of staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz made to AP on April 26 about “other countries” having readied their armed forces for a potential strike “to keep Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons” referred to the deployment of the F-22 stealth jets. He did not name the other countries.

His comment was received in Washington as Israel’s strongest message till now that it will not be alone in attacking Iran but will have partners, presumably the US – and possibly also Britain, France, German, Holland or Italy.

BEGINNING AND ENDING OF THE AGE OF THE GENTILES

PART 4

FROM THE 2 MITES TEMPLE WIDOW TO THE END OF THE GENTILE AGE

April 29, 2012

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

Luke 21:1-4 – And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.

[2] And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. [3] And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: [4] For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
The Olivet Discourse by Jesus is found in Luke, Mark, and Matthew. I have read hundreds of expositions of the discourse by many different men. I can truthfully say, without reservations or hesitation, that many positions are held on the discourse and wide differences do indeed exist between them. Some believe it was all fulfilled by 73 A.D., some say most of it was fulfilled by 73 A.D., and some say most of it is yet to be fulfilled. Some say it only applies to the Jews, and some say it applies to both Jew and Gentile.
Luke considered the gospels of Matthew and Mark because there is a triple synoptic relation of more than 30 percent with their writings. He also must have discussed what the other disciples and Jewish residents of Jerusalem remembered of Jesus’ birth and childhood,
Luke put his Chapter 21 in a schematic outline pattern, such that it is much easier for one to chronically slide verses of Chapter 24 of Matthew, and Chapter 13 of Mark, into their narrative.
In this exposition I will attempt to weave a pattern based on all 3 synoptic Gospels which follow, with the account of Luke serving as the basic document to explain Matthew and Mark’s accounts.
Matthew 24:1,2 – And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. [2] And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
His statement shocked the first church members to the depths of their souls. They had been required from their teens to annually come to this temple for the three Feasts of Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles. It represented all that was holy to them, and many times they had met as a local church in its courtyards to worship God in the presence of their head, Jesus Christ. So, it is very easy to understand why, as soon as they were alone, they would be certain to ask him to elaborate on his shocking proclamation. They asked him a three-part question.
Matthew 24:3 – And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
Question Number 1 – When shall these things be? When will the temple be leveled?
Question Number 2 – And what shall be the sign of thy coming? What things can we look for to let us know that you are soon to establish your kingdom?
Question Number 3 – And what shall be the sign of the end of the world (this age)? What things can we look for to let us know this age of Gentile domination is drawing to a close?
Christ began by telling them of two common things that would precede the leveling of the Temple Mount. They were to see many claiming to be the Messiah who could deliver them from the Romans, and there would be many rumors of wars within, and all around the periphery of, the borders of the great Roman Empire. This is precisely what happened from his crucifixion to 135 A.D., by which time Hadrian had placed the final touches on the prior leveling of the Temple Mount and the city of Jerusalem by Titus in 70 A.D.
Matthew 24:4-6 – And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. [5] For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. [6] And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, BUT THE END IS NOT YET.
Mark 13:7 – And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; BUT THE END SHALL NOT BE YET.
Luke 21:9 – But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; BUT THE END IS NOT BY AND BY.
Jesus clearly told them not to use these things as the signs that were to mark his answers to questions two and three. These things would mark the period up to the last gasp of Jerusalem as a Jewish city, when it was given a new Roman name by Hadrian. Referring to question three, he stated very clearly: “but the end (of the age) is not yet, but the end (of the age) shall not be yet, but the end (of the age) is not by and by.” And even though he told them, and us, not to use these two things to mark his coming and the end of this age of the Gentiles, they are the very things we have repeatedly used right up to the present time. We have always had false messiahs and rumors of wars in all the ages since the cross and, while Scripture indicates false messiahs are to increase at the end, they should not be used as the prime reason to teach the coming of Jesus and the end of this Gentile age is rapidly approaching. So, just what should we use? I will cover this in the next PART, Lord willing.

Man won’t destroy himself with thermonuclear weapons in the coming War!

Many will perish in a non-nuclear Israel – Islam War across the Middle East

But Billions will perish by God’s Judgment by using his own creation to do It

On an earth gone mad in the greatest tectonic chaos since God made Man

It Begins with the opening of Seal 6 and Closes with a pouring out of Vial 7

April 28, 2012

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

Revelation 6:12-15 – And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; [13] And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. [14] And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. [15] And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

Revelation 16:16-21 – 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. [19] And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

[20] And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. [21] And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Many saved fellow servants and brethren of the souls already in heaven will be killed on earth from Seal 6 to Trumpet 7, but will not be on earth during the 7 Vials of Wrath.

Revelation 6:9-12 – And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: [10] And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? [11] And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. [12] And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

The catching out (Rapture) of the saved will not occur until the sounding of Trumpet 7.
MEN AND WOMEN WILL STILL BE ABLE TO CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD TO BE SAVED UNTIL THE SOUNDING OF TRUMPET 7.

Acts 2:19-21 – And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: [20] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: [21] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Israel’s top general says Iran unlikely to make bomb
Published: Wednesday, Apr 25, 2012, 20:34 IST
Agency: Reuters
Israel’s military chief said he does not believe Iran will decide to build an atomic bomb and called its leaders “very rational” – comments that clashed with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s assessment.
Lieutenant-General Benny Gantz’s remarks, in an interview published on Wednesday in the left-wing Haaretz newspaper, drew little attention in Israel on its annual remembrance day for fallen soldiers, when political discourse is suspended.
But they will add fuel to an internal debate on the prospects of Iran weaponisingd its uranium enrichment programme and the wisdom and risks of any Israeli military strike to try to prevent Tehran from becoming a nuclear power.
“Iran is moving step-by-step towards a point where it will be able to decide if it wants to make a nuclear bomb. It has not decided yet whether to go the extra mile,” Gantz said. But, he said, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei could opt to produce nuclear weapons should be believe that Iran would not face reprisal. “In my opinion, he will be making a huge mistake if he does that and I don’t think he will want to go the extra mile,” Gantz said.
“I think the Iranian leadership is comprised of very rational people. But I agree that such a capability in the hands of Islamic fundamentalists, who at some moments may make different calculations, is a dangerous thing.”
Israel, believed to have the Middle East’s only nuclear arsenal, has not ruled out military action against Iran should economic sanctions fail to curb its nuclear programme, saying all options were on the table.
Only last week, in a speech during Israel’s Holocaust remembrance day, Netanyahu said: “Today, the regime in Iran openly calls and determinedly works for our destruction. And it is feverishly working to develop atomic weapons to achieve that goal.”
Tehran denies seeking the bomb, saying it is enriching uranium only for peaceful energy purposes and that its nuclear programme is a threat to no one. Speaking on CNN on Tuesday, Netanyahu said he would not want to bet “the security of the world on Iran’s rational behaviour”. A “militant Islamic regime”, he said, “can put their ideology before their survival”.
The portrayal of Iran as irrational – willing to attack Israel with a nuclear weapon even if it means the destruction of the Islamic Republic in retaliatory strikes – could bolster a case for pre-emptive bombing to take out its atomic facilities.
Netanyahu had already been stung at home by his former spymaster, Meir Dagan, who said that such an Israeli strike on Iran would be a “ridiculous” idea. Shannon Kile, a nuclear proliferation expert at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, said Gantz’s description of Iranian leaders as rational was “quite an interesting turnabout”.
“Hopefully, it is going to reduce the incentives for any sort of pre-emptive or preventive military action, at least for the time being,” Kile said. The United States has also not ruled out military action as a last resort. But many allies of Washington, and even some senior US officials, fear such an attack could ignite a broader war and only temporarily halt Iran’s nuclear advances.
Gantz’s assessment appeared to be in step with the view of the top US military officer, General Martin Dempsey. He said in a CNN interview in February he believed Iran was a “rational actor” and it would be premature to take military action against it.
Israeli political sources said at the time that the remarks by Dempsey – who also suggested Israel’s armed forces could not deliver lasting damage to Iranian nuclear sites – had angered Netanyahu.
Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak raised international concern about a possible Israeli strike several months ago when he spoke about time running out for effective Israeli military action against Iranian nuclear sites buried deep underground.
And Netanyahu, while noting that Iran has made no apparent decision to begin constructing a bomb, has voiced impatience with the pace of nuclear talks that began this month between Tehran and six world powers, the first such negotiations in more than a year.
“Either Iran takes its nuclear programme to a civilian footing only, or the world, perhaps us too, will have to do something. We’re closer to the end of the discussions than the middle,” Gantz said.
However, he also said international pressure on Iran “is beginning to bear fruit, both on the diplomatic level and on the economic sanctions level”.
Netanyahu said on CNN the sanctions were “certainly taking a bite out of the Iranian economy but so far they haven’t rolled back the Iranian programme or even stopped it by one iota.
“Unfortunately, that’s not achieved by talks in which Iran has one goal, to stall, delay, run out the clock; that’s basically what they’re doing.” Gantz, a lanky former paratrooper who has served as Israel’s military attache in Washington, was asked in the Haaretz interview what impact his view would have on government decision-making on Iran.
“Whatever weight the government decides to ascribe it,” he said. “I say my opinion according to my own professional truth and my strategic analysis. I will say it sharply: I do not forget my professional ethics. The government will decide after it hears the professional echelon and the army will carry out, in a faithful and determined manner, any decision that is made.”
Kile said he was surprised Gantz had spoken out, “because normally the Israeli military leadership on the nuclear issue has been quite subdued”, with former intelligence officials “coming out and trying to cool … the possible Israeli impetus towards military action”.
Gantz took over as chief of staff a year ago but has been less outspoken on strategic issues than his predecessor, Gabi Ashkenazi. He was not the first choice for the job; the preferred candidate, Yoav Gallant, had to bow out because of a property scandal.
In at least one turning point in Israeli history, the government chose to ignore a strong warning from the military’s top general about the intentions of a long-time adversary.
In 1977, then-chief of staff Mordechai Gur famously cautioned the cabinet that Egyptian President Anwar Sadat’s offer to visit Jerusalem could be a smokescreen for war preparations. Sadat’s trip led to a peace treaty in 1979.

Gantz: IDF and other armies ready to strike Iran’s nuclear capabilities

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report
April 26, 2012, 5:30 PM (GMT+02:00)
Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu acted Thursday, April 26, to correct the damaging impression of divided and uncertain perceptions of the Iranian nuclear threat left by statements delivered in the last two days by himself and Defense Minster Ehud Barak.

Israel’s chief of staff Gen. Benny Gantz rallied to the task with an unambiguous comment that “other countries have readied their armed forces for a potential strike against Iran’s nuclear sites to keep Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons. The military force is ready. Not only our forces but other forces as well,” he said without elaborating.
“We all hope it will not be necessary to use this force, but we are absolutely sure of its existence.”
DEBKAfile reports from Washington that Gen. Gantz’s words were seen in US official circles as the strongest affirmation yet from Jerusalem that Israel has partners for a direct attack on Iran’s nuclear sites.
It was also an attempt by the chief of staff to erase the question mark he placed in a previous comment over Iran’s resolve to attain a nuclear weapon.
Wednesday, April 25, DEBKAfile reported widespread criticism on the Israeli street and in military circles of the mixed and conflicting messages coming from top officials with regard to the Iranian peril. Netanyahu also responded to the criticism in person by declaring in a TV interview, “Iran hasn’t stopped its program …the centrifuges are spinning as we speak.”

BEGINNING AND ENDING OF THE AGE (TIMES) OF THE GENTILES

PART 3

The Bottom Line in Secular Events is headed for Bible Prophecy Fulfillment!

Based On Secular Events and Interpretation of Biblical End Time Prophecy,

The final war is likely to begin at some point in time between 2013 & 2015

But the one thing I know for certain is that final war is ‘even at the Doors’

The Secular Events in the DEBKAfile Headlines Indicate That War ‘Is Near’!

April 26, 2012

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

Matthew 24:33,34 – So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. [34] Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

Generation – Genea – It denotes an age or generation from the point of a generation or age from the point of view of race – From Bullinger’s Critical Lexicon of the Greek New Testament

Genea – A generation, an age (The period or the persons) – age, generation, time

In the KJV New Testament it is translated 24 times as ‘generation’, 1 time as ‘nation’, 2 times as ‘age’, and 2 times as ‘time’

In 1967, as the National Security Agency monitored intercept intelligence information being received from the USS Liberty in international waters off the coast of Israel, I eventually came to choose between two valid interpretations of the word ‘Genena’ which were:

1. Did it refer to a last 40 year generation of Israeli Jerusalem control from 1967 to 2008

?

If so, the initial attack of the Antichrist was likely to begin between 2004 and 2007

2. Did it refer to the end of the age or times of Gentiles in control of the Temple Mount

?

If so, I could not tell for sure whether Israel’s leaving Arab Gentiles in charge of the Temple Mount, after the 1967 War, negated the prophesied continuous Gentile control of the Temple Mount since the fall of Bar Kokhba , in which case the word Genea referred to when the end of the Times or Age of the of the Gentiles was to end, in which “all things’ would “be fulfilled.” I chose to think the leaving of Arab Gentiles in charge of the administration of the Temple Mount did negate choice 2, and believed Choice 1.

I made the wrong choice 1. above, and made an even worse choice in the eighties when I attempted to compromise both choices by saying I believed the attack was likely to occur at some point in the last years of the nineties of the 20th Century.

I first discovered Hosea’s 1000 Years in February 2002

BIRTH PANG NUMBER 34 ARCHIVE HEADING

Chapter 36 – Hosea’s 1000 Year Days

February 1, 2002
By 2005 there was no doubt I made the wrong choice and I issued the following Blog, in which I stated the initial attack of Islam was likely to occur before 2015.
Hosea’s 1000 Year Days and the 21st Century
October 27, 2005
Hosea 5:15 to 6:2 – I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early. [1] Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. [2] After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
Hosea 5:15 – I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
Christ returned to his place in heaven after they rejected him, leaving them desolate, but promising them to return when they sought his face.
Matthew 23:37-39 – O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! [38] Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. [39] For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Christ indicated they would seek him early when the travail of the great tribulation period affliction came upon them.
Jeremiah 30:7 – Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
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.
Matthew 24:21 – For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Hosea 6:1 – Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
A remnant of Israel will return to Messiah when he rips and smites them in the great tribulation period. Two-thirds will perish in the great tribulation, but a remnant of one-third will survive by his healing hand that binds their spiritual wounds.
Zechariah 13:8,9 – 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.
Hosea 6:2 – After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
I believe that each day represents 1000 prophetic years, with each year being 360 days in length.
Prophetic Year = 360 days Gentile Year = 365.25 Days
Nr. Gentile Years = .9856262 X Nr. Prophetic Years
Nr. Prophetic Years = 1.0145833 X Nr. Gentile Years
1971 Gentile Years = 2000 Prophetic Years = 2 Days
It has been more than 1971 Gentile Yrs since His ascension
Prophetic Yrs. = 1.0145833 X 1971 Gentile Yrs. = 2000 Yrs = 2 Days
We recently passed into Hosea’s 3rd Day.
Psalm 90:4 + II Peter 3:8 – [4] For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. [8] But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Hosea 5:15 to 6:2 – [15] I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early. [1] Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. [2] After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
Christ left by ascension and returned to His place in heaven. He is waiting until they acknowledge their offense of rejecting Him as their Messiah. They will do so in the Negev when they are driven into it by Antichrist, and will begin to seek His return. The affliction of the Tribulation Period experienced in the Negev will cause them to seek Jesus early in their tour of it. The Jewish remnant (The woman’s seed in Revelation 12:17) in the midst of Israel (the woman) is composed of 144,000 Jewish believers. This remnant will exhort the other Jews in the Negev (the 1.6 to 1.9 million from Zechariah 13:8,9 and Revelation 12:6,14) to “return unto the Lord.” They will tell them that their God has smitten and torn them, but if they will turn to him through his Son, he will bind up their wounds and heal them. The attack will occur in Hosea’s 3rd Day, and I strongly suspect it is likely to occur before 2015.
Revelation 12:17 + 7:4 – [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. [4] And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Zechariah 13:8,9 + Revelation 12:6,14 – [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. [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. [14] And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
DAY 1 DAY 2 DAY 3
| 1000 YEARS | 1000 YEARS | 1000 YEARS |
|—-1971 GENTILE YEARS—–|
I am not concerned about the effects of global warming on the earth in the year 2100, because the one who made it will be living on it during his Millennial Reign at that time. Environmental problems will not exist at that time for either its physical or spiritual occupants, and we will have only one Ruler.

Isaiah 41:18-20 – I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. [19] I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together: [20] That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.

Zechariah 14:8,9 – And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. [9] And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

The Middle East Events have led me to believe Islam is likely to attack at some point in time between 2013 and 2015, and that the Age (Times) of the Gentiles will End at the 2nd Advent of Christ.

Excerpt from DEBKAfile followed by 3 DEBKAfile Headline Excerpts

As Israeli leaders wrangle over Iran, a new US spy agency will deal with Tehran

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

April 25, 2012, 5:38 PM (GMT+02:00)

Israel’s prime minister and defense minister were harshly criticized on the eve of Israel’s 64th Independence Day for too much speechifying and no real action against a nuclear Iran. In contrast, the US finally acted, creating a new Pentagon spy agency against the Islamic Republic. The Israeli street has stopped listening to its leaders intoning that Iran will not be permitted to acquire a nuclear weapon. Some military and intelligence sources believe Israel and the US have missed the boat for stopping it, especially concerning a dirty bomb.

Iran Plays Obama’s Game to Win
His proposition is primed to pre-empt war – not a nuclear armed Iran.

Iran Will Have a Dirty Bomb This Year
Losing patience with Obama, Israel prepares for a unilateral decision after May 23.

Military Intervention Hovers over Syria
A joint Saudi-Turkish command to prepare a combined invasion of Syria.

BEGINNING AND ENDING OF THE AGE (TIMES) OF THE GENTILES
PART 2
April 26, 2012
http://www.tribulationperiod.com/
BEGINNING AND ENDING FOR THE JERUSALEM TEMPLE MOUNT
Luke 21:24 – And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into ALL nations: AND JERUSALEM SHALL BE TRODDEN DOWN OF THE GENTILES, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
THE BIBLE IDENTIFIES A GENTILE AS ANYONE WHO IS NOT A JEW
GENTILE TEMPLE MOUNT CONTROL SINCE BAR KOKHBA IS UNBROKEN
Luke 21:20 – And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
There were actually two surroundings of Jerusalem by Roman troops in the Jewish War. The first occurred in response to Menahem’s breaking open of Herod’s armory on Masada, after which he quickly distributed its weaponry to his fellow Jerusalem citizens and the wilderness bandits of Masada. The events that transpired after that are fully described in the account of the JEWISH WARS by Josephus, the great historian of the time. All of this culminated in the slaughter of the Jewish colony in Caesarea, capital city of the Governor, with more than 20,000 suffering death in the brutal slaughter. This event marked the true beginning of the Jewish War. The Jews, in response to this carnage, began their war against Rome.

The Roman general Cestius Gallas was commissioned by Rome to put down the Jewish rebellion. He enjoyed great success in city after city, until he came to Jerusalem. After having put down the rebellion in areas north and west of Jerusalem, he came to set up his camp in a place called Gibeon, six miles from Jerusalem. Eventually, after several skirmishes, Cestius surrounded Jerusalem, and set his camp headquarters on Mt. Scopus. His troops kept the city surrounded for some time, thinking the Jews would surrender. Then, and even today, military strategists are amazed he did not attack the city, rather than surrounding it for some time. They say he could have almost walked into the city and the Jews would have capitulated. But suddenly he withdrew from around the city and headed north. When the Jews saw this, they took courage, and viciously attacked the rear flanks of his retreating army. The Jewish losses were negligible, but the Romans and their allies lost 5,300 infantrymen and 480 cavalrymen to death. The surrounding of the city, and the battle, occurred in 66 A.D., and incurred the wrath of the Emperor of Rome. Nero dispatched the Roman general Vespasian to Israel to put down the Jewish rebellion.

Vespasian’s march across Syria and northern Israel is not pertinent to this exposition, so I will not list its events. He eventually smashed Jericho and all the smaller cities around Jerusalem, and would have gone against Jerusalem, but was recalled to Rome and declared Emperor in 69 A.D., leaving his son Titus in change of the Roman legions in Israel. Titus surrounded Jerusalem, and began his siege against it in March of 70 A.D., capturing the Fortress Antonia in July, firing Herod’s Temple in August, and desolating the entire city in September. The desolations of the Jewish War ended with Mesada’s fall to the Romans in 73 A.D., which had been in Jewish hands since being conquered in 66 A.D. by insurgents. So, when Jerusalem fell in 70 A.D., Vaspasian was the Emperor of Rome and his son Titus, as a Prince of Rome, came in like a flood and desolated the city, and until the end of the war desolations continued across southern Israel.
Luke 21:21 – Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
After the first surrounding of Jerusalem by Cestius, Josephus indicates that “many of the most imminent of the Jews swam away from the city, as from a ship when it was going to sink.” It is quite likely that many believers left the city when he withdrew, and never returned, taking it as a fulfillment of the warning in Luke 21:20. When Titus came some four years later to surround it for the second time, some have written that very few believers were to be found in the city, since they believed the first surrounding was the sign of warning the city would soon be made desolate. However, since the siege began at the time of Passover, few believers would have been in the city. But there is no question that after Jerusalem was surrounded by Titus, it was made desolate some seven months later, and I am convinced this is the desolation that Jesus spoke of in Luke 21:20. In modern day terminology they were advised “to get out o’ town and head fo de hills, and don’t u’ cum bak no moe, no moe.”
ALL the things described in verses 12 to 24b in Chapter 21 of Luke were prophetically fulfilled in the generation of the Disciples up to the time of the well documented carrying away of Israel into captivity.
THESE WRITTEN THINGS BY THE PROPHETS AND SPOKEN BY JESUS IN LUKE 21:12-24a ARE ALREADY FULFILLED, BUT LUKE 21:24b IS YET FUTURE, AND REFERS TO THE FUTURE END OF THE AGE OF THE GENTILES.
Luke 21:24b – Until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Luke 21:32 – Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
Lord willing, I will begin an exposition of the word GENERATION in Part 3
