Jeremiah 33:1-3 The Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah while he was imprisoned. The Lord says: If you call to Me, I will answer and tell you of great and mysterious things that you are unaware of.

Jeremiah prophesied to the House of Judah, many years after the House of Israel was taken into exile by the Assyrians. He foretold how things would be after the Babylonian conquest of Judah, but this was not completely fulfilled then or after the Roman conquest of Judah in 70-135 AD.

Jeremiah 33:4-5 & 10 The houses of this city and the great buildings of Judah which are now destroyed by the sword of judgement, will be filled with dead bodies. They are those slain by the Lord Himself, because He has turned away from them. The Lord says: See this Land, now in ruins and devoid of people and animals.

This is not fulfilled as yet. Jer. 9:10-11, Isaiah 4:3-6, Ezekiel 30:1-5

Ezekiel 21:14...swing the great sword of slaughter three times, whirling about Judah.
As Ezekiel says: there will be a triple fulfilment of the punishment of Judah. Two of these have happened, by Babylon and Rome but the next is ‘by the Lord Himself’, by the means of a coronal mass ejection, a sunstrike. Isaiah 30:26 This event is prophesied and graphically described over 100 times in the Bible, as ‘the terrible Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath’. The entire Middle East will become ‘ruined and devoid of people and animals’. This was not the case with the two previous punishments. Ezekiel 6:14, Zephaniah 1:18, Zechariah 3:10

But for now, as we await this sudden and terrifying Day that the Lord will take action, we must:
Isaiah 35:3-4 Brace the arms that are limp, steady the knees that give way, say to the anxious: Be strong, fear not. Your God comes to save you, with His vengeance and retribution. Jeremiah 30:4-11, Zephaniah 3:16-20, Hebrews 10:37-39

Isaiah 35:5 THEN the eyes of the blind will be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. Isaiah 29:24 The confused will gain understanding and the obstinate will accept instruction. Isaiah 6:9-10

The truth about this coming event is not generally known among believers. The reason is due to beliefs in false theories, Isaiah 29:9-12, or a lack of interest in prophecy. They remain ‘in the dark’ about what will happen. 2 Thess. 5:1-11
Only during or after it happens, will understanding be given to all those who have been unable to comprehend the Prophetic Word. They will say: It was there; in plain language, but I couldn’t see it!

Soon after that, many prophesies say how the holy Land will be regenerated:

Jeremiah 33:6-9 In this Land, will be heard once more the sounds of joy and gladness, of weddings and celebrations. People will shout: Praise the Lord, for He is good, His love endures forever’, as they offer thanksgiving in the House of the Lord. By the Word of the Lord: In this place and in all its towns, now ruined and cleared of all peoples and animals, flocks and herds will once more graze. My people will receive all the blessings that I have promised to them. Ezekiel 36:8-12, Amos 9:13-15

Isaiah 35:10 The Lord’s people, set free, will come back and enter Zion with shouts of triumph, with great joy and singing praises to their God. Suffering and sorrow will flee away. Zechariah 9:16-17, Romans 9:24-26

Great are the promises the Lord has made to His faithful Christian people. We will indeed ‘sing praises to the Lord’, when we are settled into our inheritance. Ephesians 1:10-14 & 3:6
The House of the Lord: the third Temple will be built in Jerusalem.

Restoration of the kingdom of israel, the rule of Jesus over the earth these and many other similar prophercies are claimed to be about to happen.
This has been bodly proclaimed since the 1660's and earlier.

There is only two prophercies most Christians care about.

That Christians have a place with Jesus in heaven.

That Jesus is coming again.


All other depend on how one understands prophercy and interprets it.
These there is no question that they are certain and will happen.

To the Jews Jesus said:
Mat. 21[43] Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

1 Peter 2[7] Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
[8] And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
[9] But ye [Chritians] are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light

Mat. 23[39] For I say unto you [Jews], Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye [Jews] shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Q. Who is it that now come to the Jews "in the name of the Lord"?
A. 1 Peter 2:9
Q. Is the former part of Matthew 23:39 now being fulfilled?
A. Yes!

When the KoG was taken from the Jews, so also went the promises, that God hoped for them.
Therefore, for them to ever re-enter the KoG, they must believe in Jesus as their Messiah/Savior only!

Since that really is the case, then one must comprehend how it is, and by whom the Jews will have opportunity to re-enter the KoG.
John 3:18
Acts 10:34

That 'nation', people group, is the lost tribes of Israel, the people Jesus came to save. Matthew 15:24
Who are now, mainly; the Western Christian peoples. THEY; we are the people who bear the proper fruit = of the Spirit and of compassion for others.

Of the Jewish State of Israel, many prophesies say Judah faces their third Judgment, this time by fire from the Lord and only a remnant will survive. Romans 9:27, Zephaniah 1:14-18

Are any of the house of Israel or their herds still alive?

How is it that you do not know and believe that Jesus was the Last of His own house, that "It is finished?" But not knowing this...you proclaim all these things in error.

God knows who and where His faithful Israelites are. Amos 9:9
He will gather them, every Christian believer; be they true descendants of Jacob or grafted in, to their heritage; the holy Land. Isaiah 35:1-10, Ezekiel 34:11-16, Romans 9:24-26

Jesus said; it is finished, when He died for our sins.

You have the tail wagging the dog. So disrespectful.

But it is He who is true in saying when "It is finished." It is His word, and His life and death, not that of men during their own life and times as if the world evolved around them or you. Just as He is the only begotten of the Father, "It" was everything.

The Devastation of the holy Land by the fiery wrath of the Lord:

Isaiah 28:22b ....For I have heard that destruction is decreed upon the whole Land.

Isaiah 10:23 For the Lord of Hosts will bring final destruction on the whole Land.

Ezekiel 20:47 The Lord says: I am about to kindle a fire, one that will consume anything flammable. All of the Land and people from the Negev northward will be scorched by it.

Ezekiel 21:4 It is because I intend to make away with both righteous and wicked alike, that My sword of punishment is against everyone from the Negev northward.

Jeremiah 22:6-7 The Lord says about the Royal House of Judah: Though you are dear to Me, I swear that I shall turn your Land into a desert; a Land of towns no longer inhabited. A destructive host will come upon you and burn your dwellings.

Jeremiah 21:14 I shall punish you as you deserve, I shall set fire to your open Land, it will devour everything round about.

Hosea 4:3 Therefore the Land will be desolate, all that lives in it will be wasted, even the wild animals, birds and the fish of the sea will vanish.

Jeremiah 7:34 From the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem, I shall banish all sounds of joy and gladness, for the whole Land will become a desert.

Zephaniah 1:18 On the Day of the Lord’s wrath, by the fire of His jealousy, the whole Land will be consumed, for He will make a sudden and terrible end to all who live in the Land.

Micah 1:6 I shall reduce Samaria to a ruin, to a place for planting vineyards. I will level the hills and valleys; lay bare their foundations.

Micah 5:11 I shall devastate the cities of your Land and destroy your military power.

Amos 6:11 When the Lord commands, great houses will be reduced to rubble and the small houses shattered.


Jeremiah 8:16 The sound of the Destroyer approaches and the whole Land trembles, it comes and consumes everything, crops, trees, city and citizens alike.

Joel 1:15-20 The Day of the Lord comes; a mighty destruction from the Almighty, all food is cut off, the Land is shrivelled and dry, for fire has consumed the pastures and every tree is burned up. Jeremiah 25:38 The Land has become a waste and ruined because of the fierce anger of the Lord.

Jeremiah 10:19 The Land says: O the pain of my wounds, I have suffered cruel injuries and am laid low, but I must endure it, because the shepherds of the people are fools and never consult the Lord; so their flock is scattered.

Jeremiah 9:10 I shall chant a dirge over the mountains and pastures, for all is scorched and untrodden, I hear no sound of livestock, even the birds have fled and gone.

Jeremiah 4:26-28 The fertile Land has become a wilderness, its towns all razed to the ground before the fierce anger of the Lord. The Lord says: the whole Land will be desolate, totally destroyed. All the earth will be in mourning for this and the sky will be black. For now I have made known My purpose, I will not relent or change it.

Isaiah 32:12 Go into mourning for your pleasant fields and fruitful Land; for every happy home in the bustling city. Houses are forsaken and the streets are deserted.

Isaiah 33:8a-9 The roads are deserted, the Land is parched and dry. Lebanon is dried out, Sharon is like a desert and Bashan and Gilead are stripped bare.

Isaiah 24:10 & 13 The city is shattered and in chaos....all joy and merriment has gone from the Land. Nothing but desolation is left and the entrances to the city are smashed.

Jeremiah 12:4 &10-13 How long must the country lie parched, its grass withered? No birds or beasts are left, because God has judged the wicked inhabitants, they said: God does not see what we are doing. A sword from the Lord has devoured the Land from end to end and now it’s all a desolate wilderness. Ref: REB, NIV, KJV. Some verses abridged.

When Jesus returns we won't care about prophercies, whether pre, post A millenials were right or wrong, whether there is going to be a temple rebuilt, about red cows, whether there was or was not a tribulation, a rapture, about the mount of olives splitting in two or not, how every eye in a round world will see him or any other pointless and endless debate.

Our purpose here is to serve God and to bring him Glory.

No one agrees about the prophercies about Jesus's 2nd coming and no one ever will, because we will never know when he will come untill he is here.

So K.I.S.S. Jesus is Coming Again.

Keep It Simple, Stupid.
Right; only the simple and the stupid choose to discount the quarter of the Bible that informs us about God's Plans for our future.

Have you actually read and studied the OP? God has made amazing promises to His faithful people. We should know about it all and be prepared spiritually and physically. 1 Thessalonians 5:4

The Heavenly dimension is coming to earth. That's what our Lord Jesus' return per Acts 1, Zech.14, and His gathering all the saints with Him at Jerusalem on earth is about. It is what the 'change' on the "last trump" of 1 Cor.15 is about. The Heavenly is going to be opened up for everyone right here on earth, that is what God's Holy Writ teaches. Anything else is just fantasy.

One of the main warnings for the end our Lord Jesus gave us was what?

Matt 24:4
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, "Take heed that no man deceive you."
KJV


Apostle Paul, Peter, and John also gave that warning against deception. Paul even warned us against deception about the timing... of Christ's return and gathering of the Church.

So how you gonna' know when some man is trying to deceive you if you're not tuned into God's written Word? I guarantee you, you will be easily deceived if you don't stay in God's Word. It's not about who agrees and who doesn't, it's about what God says in His Word, and heeding Him through His Son.

Yeah, everyones idea is the right idea and everyone who has a different idea/version is wrong.

What everyone fails to take into account is that 'no one knows when Jesus will return'.
Because no one knows, every idea is automaticly wrong.

So the sencible soultion is to expect his return and keep it simple, Jesus will return .

Jesus's second coming, every eye will see him.
He will be accompanied by his people, those alive will rise up to meet him, the dead will be raised etc etc etc

Jesus's second coming will be dramatic, the false prophets in Rev are nothing like Jesus's arrival.

That's true, but He told us a lot more. He gave us 7 main signs of the end for the last generation that will see His return. He showed us about the coming Antichrist and how to not be deceived by him. He even gave us a sign to be watching that's three and a half days prior to His coming. He also showed us where... He will return, and to expect His return and gathering of the Church after the coming tribulation.

What servant of Christ wouldn't want to know those things?

What servant of Christ wouldn't want to know those things?
Right. But far too many Christians don't really try to understand the Prophetic Word.

END TIMES – SOME F.A.Q’s -

Who are the Lord’s People ? - To be gathered into the Promised Land, soon after the Lord’s Day of vengeance and wrath. Ezekiel 34:11-31, Isaiah 35:1-10, Romans 9:24-26
This is a difficult question and really only God knows. It does seem clear, from what the Bible tells us, that they are mostly actual descendants of Jacob. all the 12 tribes. Who are now, after 100+ generations; every person on earth today.

But, even in ancient days, aliens joined and were accepted as Israelites:

Isaiah 56:8 Yet others I will gather, to those already gathered in the Land.

John 11:52 Jesus will die, not for the Jews alone but in order to gather together the scattered children of God. Revelation 5:9-10…people from every tribe, nation and language.

In Galatians 3:26-29. Paul says that all true believers in Jesus Christ are no longer aliens and are deemed by faith, to be children of Abraham. Isaiah 51:1-5

The New Testament brings a new day – not only would the Israelites be a part of God’s people but in this new day the Gentiles could be grafted into this people line. Therefore, all true believers in Jesus are now My People: the Israel of God, the Overcomers for Him.


You will know My people by their righteous lives:
John 15:16 You did not choose Me- I chose you. I appointed you to go on and bear fruit, fruit that will last.

Luke 6:44 Each tree is known by its fruit, you don’t get figs or grapes from brambles or thistles.

Matthew 12:33-35 You can tell a tree by its fruit.

Matthew 7:19 A tree that does not yield sound fruit is cut down and thrown on the fire

Isaiah 3:10 Happy are the righteous, all will be well with them. They will enjoy the fruits of their deeds.

Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is the tree of life.


When will the end time events happen?
It is very scary, but it seems likely that the prophecies that speak clearly of the Lords Day of vengeance will be fulfilled in the near future. I agree with the idea that the Great Tribulation will finish with the Return of Jesus.

An interesting verse in Luke 13:32 Jesus says that He will work for 2 days then will attain His reward on the third. As a day is like 1000 years to the Lord in heaven, then His reward, His Millennial reign will start exactly 2000 years after the start of His ministry, in 29/30 AD. And again in Hosea 6:2 After 2 days, He will revive us. On the 3rd day we will live in His presence; during Jesus’ Millennium reign.

So, working back, 2023 may be the start of the 7 year Tribulation. We can only guess how much time is needed for the Gathering of His faithful people and their settlement in the Land.

But, judgement may happen at any time, this crazy situation between Israel and the Muslims has gone on so long, just cannot stay like this forever.

That's true, but He told us a lot more. He gave us 7 main signs of the end for the last generation that will see His return. He showed us about the coming Antichrist and how to not be deceived by him. He even gave us a sign to be watching that's three and a half days prior to His coming. He also showed us where... He will return, and to expect His return and gathering of the Church after the coming tribulation.

What servant of Christ wouldn't want to know those things?

Very simply, the history of people telling us about the second coming is of 100% failure, they all, including you get it wrong.

No one knows when Jesus will return, so the moment you think you know, you don't.

By all means raise the issue of the second coming, but empherise that all it is is speculation or a guess, nothing more.
