GOD ENDS THE FINALE AGE WITH A JEWISH BASKET OF SUMMER FRUIT NUMBER 2
Luke 21:24,25
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.
Romans 11:25,26
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:
THE NORTHERN KINGDOM (ISRAEL) WAS VIEWED AS A BASKET OF SUMMER FRUIT TURNING ROTTEN, AND NEEDED JUDGMENT FOR ITS ROTTENESS!
Vision of a basket of summer fruit symbolical, of Israel’s end. The wish for the means of religious counsel, when there shall be a famine of the Word.
Amos 8:1
Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit. (The summer is the end of the year and the time of the ripeness of fruits, so Israel is ripe for her last punishment, ending her national existence. As the fruit is plucked when ripe from the tree, so Israel from her land.)
Amos 8:2
And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the Lord unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
Prophecies of Ezekiel were written before and during the great Babylonian Captivity, so his prophecy is about the Southern Kingdom of Judah, which much latter went into the Babylonian captivity as a summer basket of fruit.
Ezekiel 7:2,6
Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land. [6] An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.
Amos 8:3
And the songs of the temple (Beth-el) shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord God: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth WITH SILENCE.
“WITH SILENCE” is an adverb – The mourners will not wail in funeral processions because the great slaughter will be so great as to prevent the many bodies from being immediately buried. They will be cast forth in silence. Such will be the case at the end of the Age of the Gentiles.
Ezekiel 39:4
Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
Amos 8:11-14
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: [12] And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. [13] In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. [14] They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.
THE DOGS BARK, BUT THE CARAVAN MOVES ON – WE ARE DRAWING NEAR TO THE TIME OF JESUS SECOND COMING!
John 18:36
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Psalm 2:6-8
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. [7] I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. [8] Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Daniel 7:13,14
I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. [14]And there was given him dominion, and glory and a kingdom that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an ever-lasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Daniel 2:44
And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
Philippians 2:8-11
And being found in fashion as a man, he hum-bled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [9]Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Hebrews 9:27,28
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: [28] So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
