The
Remaining Old Testament Prophecies
Will Finally Be Fulfilled
Soon
PURPOSE
The primary purpose of this document is to illustrate to believers and
unbelievers alike that:
(a)
Everything has been properly foretold
by God for the exclusive benefit of "Hearing" and "Seeing" Man (1); and
(b) The suffering mankind
has endured (and the suffering ahead, which will surpass anything seen
by mankind yet) is the result of ignoring God and His Laws; Spiritual
Laws are as applicable and Universal as the Physical Laws (Law of
Gravity, for example) - regardless if one chooses to believe them or
not. (2)
Just as every single prophecy regarding Christ's First Coming was
fulfilled, all prophecies concerning His Second Coming will be
fulfilled without fail
- regardless of what any one individual may want to believe.
We pray and hope that these last warnings may awaken those who need to
Hear and need to See (1),
but who, at this point, are still deaf and blind.
NOTE: To avoid
theological double talk - when we speak of a Messianic
Earthly Kingdom we speak of a long period in Time in which man will
live on Earth in accordance to the Law of God as
delivered, explained and exemplified by Jesus Christ.
This Messianic Earthly Kingdom was intended by God to be
established by the spread of the Good News through love and acts
thereof. This was obviously not done. Therefore, God will now directly
intervene. Through pain (3),
He will lead mankind, for its own good, to live according to His Laws.
This "God will directly intervene" phenomena is what we call the Second
Coming of Christ - which should not be confused with the Final Judgment
and the end of creation as spoken of in the Holy Scriptures.
At the end of this lengthy period, the world - that is -
creation, as we know it - will come to an end. As we have stated else
where, that would be on or about ca. 2832 AD. No further clarification
from us regarding this issue will be forthcoming any time in the near
future.
INTRODUCTION
The Prophet Isaiah foretold (4)
that the lion and the lamb would lie down together when the shoot out
of the stock of Jesse (Jesus Christ, according to our Christian Faith)
would come. He so stated....
"The
wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the
leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion
and the fatted beast together, and a little child
shall lead them. And the cow and the she-bear shall feed; their
young ones shall lie down together; and the lion
shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on
the hole of the adder, and the weaned child shall
put forth its hand to the viper's den." [Isaiah
11:6-7]
Obviously Isaiah was not speaking of the First Coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ since there has been
no fulfillment of this global prophecy. Neither was
Malachi when he said:
3:1
Behold, I send my messenger, and he shall prepare
the way before me; and the Lord whom ye seek will suddenly come to his
temple, and the Angel of the covenant, whom ye
delight in: behold, he cometh, saith the Lord of hosts. 3:2 But who
shall endure the day of his coming? and who shall
stand when he appeareth? For he will be like a refiner's fire, and like
fullers' lye. 3:3 And he shall sit [as] a
refiner and purifier of silver; and he will purify the children of
Levi, and purge them as gold and silver; and they
shall offer unto the Lord an oblation in righteousness.
3:4 Then shall the oblation of Judah
and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the days of old, and as
in former years. 3:5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I
will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the
adulterers, and against the false swearers, and against those that
oppress the hired servant in [his] wages, the widow and the fatherless,
and that turn aside the stranger [from his right], and fear not me,
saith the Lord of hosts. 3:6 For I the Lord change not, and ye, sons of
Jacob, are not consumed. [Malachi
3:1-6]
It is patently clear that neither Isaiah nor Malachi were speaking of a
time immediately after Jesus Christ's First Coming. They were obviously
speaking of a time after the establishment of the Kingdom of the
Messiah, Jesus Christ, amongst men in
Time; they were not
speaking about Eternity.
Now, the Prophet Zepheniah, obviously
speaking of that same Messianic Earthly Kingdom, said:
For
then will I turn to the peoples a pure language,
that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one
consent. From beyond the rivers of Cush my
suppliants, the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine
oblation. In that day thou shalt not be ashamed for all
thy doings wherein thou hast transgressed against me; for then I will
take away out of the midst of thee them that exult
in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy
mountain.
And I will leave in the midst of thee
an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the
Lord. The remnant of Israel shall not work unrighteousness, nor speak
lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: but
they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid. Exult, O
daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; rejoice and be glad with all the
heart, O daughter of Jerusalem: The Lord hath taken away thy
judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy; the King of Israel, the Lord,
is in the midst of thee; thou shalt not see evil any more. [Zepheniah 3:9-15]
COMMENTS
Of course, for those who do not believe that Jesus Christ is the
Messiah - specifically the members of Judaism - it is logical that
those prophecies have not been fulfilled, but, for those who believe
that Jesus Christ is indeed the Messiah, then, these prophecies are only applicable to His
Second Coming.
Therefore, before such "Milk and Honey", "Happily Ever After", "Riding
Into the Sunset" Hollywood style scenario takes place at the End of
These Times, the "settlement of a few accounts" must take place. We
understand that those who need to arise from the heavy
sleep of indolence they live in want to "Have their cake
and eat it too and not even gain weight!", however, that would be the
Vatican version of how the accounts are to be settled (5) and not the way in which
they will be.
Should the reader have any doubt about such "collection procedure", we
recommend that he/she becomes familiar with the Old Testament and the
multitude of "account settlements" which God allowed in the 4,000 years
before Christ - nothing has changed in the procedure.
Like with the financial settlements in the world, the creditor sends a Warning that the account is past
due; then he places a Call
for working out the payment terms on the past due account with "easy
terms" for the debtor; and finally, if the debtor continues remiss in
his payments, the forcible Collection
of what is due takes place without
fail.
Well... here you have it very nicely spelled out by the Zepheniah. As
you review the immediate future of the world, keep in mind the
following:
(a)
"Israel", the Chosen People of God, became those who are members of
the family
of Jesus Christ: "...those who hear the word of God and act on
it." [Luke 8:21]
(b) The countries mentioned in
Zepheniah's prophecy are actual physical locations but also symbolic
representations of countries not known yet by dear Zepheniah; and
(c) The family of Jesus
Christ, as further expanded by Paul:
Where
[is the] wise? where scribe? where disputer of this world? has not God
made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God,
the world by wisdom has not known God, God has been pleased by the
foolishness of the preaching to save those that believe...
Because the foolishness of God is
wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For
consider your calling, brethren, that [there are] not many wise
according to flesh, not many powerful, not many high-born. But God has
chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may put to shame the
wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may put
to shame the strong things; and the ignoble things of the world, and
the despised, has God chosen, [and] things that are not, that he may
annul the things that are; so that no flesh should boast before God.
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who has been made to us wisdom from
God, and righteousness, and holiness, and redemption; that according as
it is written, He that boasts, let him boast in [the] Lord. [1 Corinthians 1:20-31]
CONCLUSION
But first, The M+G+R Foundation
Comments on Paul's words:
So much for those who claim to be "of
Christ" and "officially represent Him"
(6); so much for
the Doctorates upon Doctorates; so much for the
Princes of the Church; and so much for the ego inflated "Theologians"
who instead of being students (logians) of God
(Theo) should be Logologians, students of the Word of God so that they
could then be Obedient to the Word of God - a
Word that has been clearly transmitted to man through the Sacred
Scriptures and personally explained to the deaf, blind
and stiff-necked "men of God" by our Lord Jesus Christ, to be later
brought to our attention again (7).
Obviously not much has changed, except that now, the final Invoice (8) will be presented and
human wisdom, as Our Lord Jesus Christ told us, will be useless.
Without much ado, the proverbial floor is now ceded to our dear
Zepheniah so that he may explain to those who have "Ears to Hear" and
"Eyes to See" how the aforementioned "Collection of the Debt Process"
will take place, thus affording them a little time to make the
appropriate arrangements (9) before
is too late - even for them.
God's warning of destruction
1 The
word of the Lord that came unto
Zephaniah... 2 I will utterly take away everything from off the
face of the ground, saith the Lord: 3 I will take
away man and beast; I will take away the fowl of the heavens and the
fishes of the sea, and the stumbling-blocks with
the wicked, and I will cut off mankind from off the face of the ground, saith
the Lord.
4 And I will stretch forth my hand
upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut
off the remnant of Baal from this place, the name of the Chemarim with
the priests; 5 and them that bow down to the host of the heavens upon
the housetops; and them that bow down to the Lord, that swear by [him],
and swear by Malcham; 6 and them that turn back from after the Lord,
and that do not seek the Lord, nor inquire for him. 7 Be silent at the
presence of the Lord God; for the day of the Lord is at hand; for the
Lord hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath hallowed his guests.
8 And it shall come to pass in the
day of the Lord's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the
king's sons, and all such as are clothed with foreign apparel. 9 And in
that day will I punish all those that leap over the threshold, who fill
their master's house with violence and deceit. 10 And in that day, saith the Lord,
there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish-gate, and a howling
from the second [quarter], and a great crashing from the hills. 11
Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh; for all the people of Canaan are cut
down, all they that are laden with silver are cut off.
12 And it shall come to pass at that
time, [that] I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and punish the men
that are settled on their lees, that say in their heart, the Lord will
not do good, neither will he do evil. 13 And their wealth shall become
a booty, and their houses a desolation; and they shall build houses,
and not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and not drink
the wine thereof. 14 The great day of the Lord is near, it is
near, and hasteth greatly. The voice of the day of the Lord: the mighty
man shall cry there bitterly.
15 That day is a day of wrath, a day
of trouble and distress, a day of ruin and desolation, a day of
darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and gross darkness, 16 a day of the
trumpet and alarm, against the fenced cities and against the high
battlements. 17 And I will bring distress upon men, and they shall walk
like blind men; for they have sinned against the Lord; and their blood
shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as dung: 18 their silver
and their gold shall not be able to deliver them, in the day of the
Lord's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his
jealousy: for a full end, yea, a sudden [end], shall he make of all
them that dwell in the land. [Zepheniah
1: 1-18]
A call to repentance
1
Collect yourselves and gather together, O nation
without shame, 2 before the decree bring forth, [before] the day pass
away as chaff, before the fierce anger of the Lord
come upon you, before the day of the Lord's anger come upon you. 3 Seek
the Lord, all ye meek of the land, who have
performed his ordinance; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be
ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord's anger. 4
For Gazah shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon shall be a desolation; they
shall drive out Ashdod at noonday, and Ekron shall
be rooted up.
5 Woe unto the inhabitants of the
sea-coast, the nation of the Cherethites! The word of the Lord is
against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines: I will destroy thee,
that there shall be no inhabitant; 6 and the sea-coast shall be
cave-dwellings for shepherds, and folds for flocks. 7 And the coast shall be for the remnant
of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereon: in the houses of
Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the Lord their God
shall visit them, and turn again their captivity.
8 I have heard the reproach of Moab,
and the revilings of the children of Ammon, wherewith they have
reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border. 9
Therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
Moab shall certainly be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as
Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and salt-pits, and a perpetual
desolation; the remnant of my people shall spoil them, and the residue
of my nation shall possess them.
10 This shall they have for their
pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against
the people of the Lord of hosts. 11 The Lord will be terrible unto them;
for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and all the isles of the
nations shall worship him, every one from his place. 12 Ye Ethiopians
also, ye shall be the slain of my sword. 13 And he will stretch out his
hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a
desolation, a place of drought like the wilderness.
14 And flocks shall lie down in the
midst of her, all the crowd of beasts; both the pelican and the bittern
shall lodge in the chapiters thereof; a voice shall sing in the
windows; desolation shall be on the thresholds: for he hath laid bare
the cedar work. 15 This is the rejoicing city that dwelt in security,
that said in her heart, I am, and there is none else beside me: how is
she become a desolation, a couching-place for beasts! Every one that
passeth by her shall hiss, shall wave his hand. [Zepheniah 2: 1-15]
The sin, redemption, and future
of Jerusalem
1 Woe
to her that is rebellious and corrupted, to the
oppressing city! 2 She hearkened not to the voice; she received not
correction; she confided not in the Lord; she drew
not near her God. 3 Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions;
her judges are evening wolves, that leave nothing
for the morning. 4 Her prophets are vain-glorious, treacherous persons;
her priests profane the sanctuary, they do
violence to the law. 5 The righteous God is in the midst of her:
he doeth no wrong. Every morning doth he bring
his judgment to light; it faileth not: but the unrighteous knoweth no
shame.
6 I have cut off nations: their
battlements are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passeth
by; their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there
is no inhabitant. 7 I said, Only fear me, receive correction; so her
dwelling shall not be cut off, howsoever I may punish her. But they
rose early, they corrupted all their doings. 8 Therefore wait ye for
me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey; for my
determination is to assemble the nations, that I may gather the
kingdoms together, to pour upon them mine indignation, -- all my fierce
anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
9 For then will I turn to the peoples
a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to
serve him with one consent. 10 From beyond the rivers of Cush my
suppliants, the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine oblation. 11
In that day thou shalt not be ashamed for all thy doings wherein thou
hast transgressed against me; for then I will take away out of the
midst of thee them that exult in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be
haughty because of my holy mountain.
12 And I will leave in the midst of
thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of
the Lord. 13 The remnant of Israel shall not work unrighteousness, nor
speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth:
but *they* shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid. 14
Exult, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; rejoice and be glad with
all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem: 3:15 The Lord hath taken away
thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy; the King of Israel, the
Lord, is in the midst of thee; thou shalt not see evil any more.
16 In that day it shall be said to
Jerusalem, Fear not; Zion, let not thy hands be slack. 17 the Lord thy
God is in thy midst, a mighty one that will save: he will rejoice over
thee with joy; he will rest in his love; he will exult over thee with
singing. 18 I will gather them that sorrow for the solemn assemblies,
who were of thee: the reproach of it was a burden [unto them]. 19
Behold, at that time I will deal with all them that afflict thee; and I
will save her that halted, and gather her that was driven out; and I
will make them a praise and a name in all the lands where they have
been put to shame.
20 At that time will I bring you,
yea, at the time that I gather you; for I will make you a name and a
praise, among all the peoples of the earth, when I shall turn again
your captivity before your eyes, saith the Lord. [Zepheniah 3: 1-20]
EPILOGUE
Just HOLD THAT FINGER! Before you hit the "Delete" button and erase
this document from your computer - you may want to review the
consequences. (10)
Better yet - You may want to find out if you are even part of the
family of Jesus Christ - after all, you may not be just yet and need to do some
work to be accepted by Him as one of His. By His Own definition,
Jesus' family is defined as: "My
mother and my brothers are
those who hear the word of God and act on it."[Luke 8:21]
What happens to those who "do not
hear the word of God and act on it" - including the
Administrators of the Roman Catholic Church?
Jesus also gave us that answer:
"And
thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven,
shalt be brought down to hell; for if the mighty works, which have been
done in thee, had been done
in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I say unto you,
That it shall be more
tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment,
than for thee." [S.
Matthew 11:23-24]
Commentary: Capernaum's
transgression
was unbelief; lack of faith in Jesus Christ, thus not acting on His
Word. In spite of the mighty works which Jesus
Christ did in Capernaum they refused to believe in Him.
Brethren - it could not be any clearer. Now go ahead and hit that
"Delete" button if you wish - God gave you a Free Will. We are at peace
(11), regardless
of the option that you exercise.
As for those who are on denial and refuse to have "Ears to Hear" and
"Eyes to See", this is what Jesus had to say:
[Luke
12:54-57] And
he said also to
the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye
say, There cometh a shower; and so it
is. And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat;
and it cometh to pass. Ye
hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but
how is it that ye do not discern this time? Yea, and why even of
yourselves judge ye not what is right?
NOTES
(1) Who are these?
(2) Why Lord?
(3) God's megaphone: Pain
(4) Full text of Isaiah 11:1-
10:
And there shall come forth a
shoot out
of the
stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots shall be fruitful; and
the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,
the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and
might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the
Lord. And his delight will be in the fear of the Lord; and he shall not
judge after the sight of his eyes, neither
reprove after the hearing of his ears; but with righteousness shall he
judge the poor, and reprove with equity the meek
of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the
wicked.
And righteousness shall be the girdle of his reins, and faithfulness
the girdle of his loins. The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young
lion and the fatted beast together, and a little child shall lead
them. And the cow and the she-bear shall feed; their young ones
shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the
ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the adder,
and the weaned child shall put forth its hand to the viper's den.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth
shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the
sea. And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, standing as
a banner of the peoples: the nations shall seek it; and his
resting-place shall be glory.
(5) Humanly speaking - as
the Vatican Administrators do: Would you blame the Vatican for being in Denial? After all,
Malachi clearly stated: "And he
shall sit [as] a refiner and purifier
of silver; and
he will purify the children
of Levi, and purge them as gold and
silver;" By the "children of Levi" is meant "the priestly class".
(6) [Matthew 24:5] For many shall come
in my name, saying, I am
the Christ, and they shall mislead many.
Please note that Jesus said
"many" and
not one. Thus the question that we must
pose to ourselves is: "Who have been those, who have been "many" and
who have been telling us for centuries that they
are Christ - or His
equivalent?"
Do not be shocked about this since it was announced well in
advance by John [1-John 2:18-20]
when he stated:
Little
children, it is [the] last hour,
and,
according as ye have heard that antichrist comes, even now there have
come many antichrists, whence we know that it is
[the] last hour. They went out from among us, but they were not
of us; for if they had been of us, they would have
surely remained with us, but that they might be made manifest that none
are of us. And ye have [the] unction from the
holy [one], and ye know all things.
(7) This time,
by the Virgin Mary for the new deaf, blind and stiff-necked "men of
God" of The Vatican.
(8) The Gates of
Hell will not prevail... but some conditions do apply.
(9) [Luke 12:58 -59] When thou goest with thine
adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence
that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge,
and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee
into prison. I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou
hast paid the very last mite.
