Remember the Appointed Day

[Keraz]

Ecclesiasticus 36:1-17 Look on us with pity, Lord God of all and strike fear into every nation. Lift Your hand against the heathen and let them see Your power. Let them learn the truth, that there is no God but You, the Creator of all things.

Renew Your signs, repeat Your miracles and win glory for Your mighty Right Hand. Rouse Your anger, pour out Your wrath to destroy the godless and wipe out the enemy. Remember the Day You have appointed and hasten it on to give us cause to recount Your great deeds and wonders.
Let Your burning wrath devour the oppressors of Your people, let all those who say: ‘No one counts but us’, meet their doom.

Have pity Lord on your people, called by Your Name, righteous Israel, Your firstborn. Show mercy to the city of Your sanctuary, to the city of Jerusalem, Your dwelling place. Gather now all the tribes of Jacob and grant them their inheritance, as You promised to the Patriarchs. Fill Zion with the praise of Your triumph and the Temple with Your glory. Acknowledge those You prepared from the beginning and fulfil the prophecies spoken in Your name. Prove Your prophets worthy of credence, so that what they said in ancient times will come to pass. Reward those who look to You in trust, listen to the prayers of Your servants, those who claim Aaron’s blessing on Your people. Leviticus 9:22

Let all who live on earth acknowledge that You are the Lord, the eternal God.

Ecclesiasticus 36:1-17

???

Correct reference, please.

let all those who say: ‘No one counts but us’, meet their doom.

Keraz have you ever considered that the above is the motive behind your prophecy obsession with prophecies that you believe destroys all our enemies and puts us in the land of Israel?

And to Abraham and to his Seed the promises were spoken. It does not say, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, "And to your Seed," which is Christ. -- Galatians 3:16.

The God who gives is more important that those who receive.

17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
-- Ephesians 5

9 And He put His grave with the wicked, and with a rich one in His death; although He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in His mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to crush Him; to grieve Him; that He should put forth His soul as a guilt-offering. He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the will of the LORD shall prosper in His hand.
11 He shall see the fruit of the travail of His soul. He shall be fully satisfied. By His knowledge shall My righteous Servant justify for many; and He shall bear their iniquities.
-- Isaiah 53

12 And when we heard these things, both we and those of the place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Then Paul answered, What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 And he not being persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
--Acts 21

3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that all of you should abstain from fornication:
4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
-- 1 Thessalonians

17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
-- Ephesians 5​

Ecclesiasticus is a book in the Apocrypha. It has valuable information and advice for us.
Howl and scream 'NOT BIBLICAL', all you want but it does conform to scripture and your reply helps to confirm it.

Keraz have you ever considered that the above is the motive behind your prophecy obsession with prophecies that you believe destroys all our enemies and puts us in the land of Israel?

My motive is to present the Prophetic Word as Written. Is trying to save people from their delusions an obsession?

It is plainly stated Prophecy that says we Christians will occupy all of the holy Land. Isaiah 65:9 John sees us there - Revelation 7:9
Mostly, just the enemies in the holy Land area will be destroyed on the terrible Day of the Lords fiery wrath. Zephaniah 1:14-18

Ecclesiasticus is a book in the Apocrypha. It has valuable information and advice for us.

It's called Sirach in my copy of the Apocrypha.

Howl and scream 'NOT BIBLICAL', all you want

Okay

but it does conform to scripture and your reply helps to confirm it.

I said nothing except ask for the correct reference. If you were honest you would have placed in brackets (Apocrypha), but you seem to have decided it's best to hide it because if you quote what it says, most will assume it's in the biblical canon and you're quoting from the biblical canon. It would be nice if you could be more upfront.​

My motive is to present the Prophetic Word as Written.

.. and you chose not to mention that it's not written in the biblical canon.

trying to save people from their delusions an obsession?

What is the will of God for us?

It is plainly stated Prophecy that says we Christians will occupy all of the holy Land. Isaiah 65:9 John sees us there - Revelation 7:9
Mostly, just the enemies in the holy Land area will be destroyed on the terrible Day of the Lords fiery wrath. Zephaniah 1:14-18

Who cares? Are you packed and ready to leave?

What is the will of God for us NOW?

Please answer the question.

Obviously your extreme bias and deluded view of Bible Prophecy, makes you unable to see plain statements.

Who cares? Are you packed and ready to leave?

God does care and we need to read and understand what He has planned for us.
I know that I will go back to the holy Land, as I received a vision when I was there in 2011.

What is the will of God for us NOW?

To be ready to stand firm in our faith, as we pass through all that must happen. The Sixth Seat worldwide disaster will be a severe shock to everyone.

To be ready to stand firm in our faith, as we pass through all that must happen. The Sixth Seat worldwide disaster will be a severe shock to everyone.

Thanks for answering the question, but it's not the correct answer, IMO. There is only one correct answer. Galatians 1:4 and 1 Thessalonians 4:3 = the will of God for us NOW.

IF through our faith in Christ and our obedience through faith the will of God is fulfilled in us, THEN we will stand firm, because He will keep us from falling.

I know that I will go back to the holy Land, as I received a vision when I was there in 2011.

I don't want to argue against your vision or put it down to your imagination (because only God knows, and I'm not God), but forgive me if I wonder why the saints in the nations haven't been receiving the same vision in their droves.

Pretty much what I said. But 1 Peter 4:12 plainly tells us there is coming a fiery test. From all the graphically stated Prophesies about the Day the Lord sends His fiery wrath, it will be a very scary and frightening Day.

But in the meantime we are to be busy with the work of the kingdom and gather in the remaining harvest.

Sure, but we who study the Prophesies should be informed and ready for this forthcoming terrible time.

The Appointed time Habakkuk 2:3

Isaiah 60:1-22 Arise! Shine, Jerusalem, for your light has come – over you the glory of the Lord has dawned. Though darkness covers the earth, on you the Lord shines. Over you His glory will appear. Nations and kings will come to your light. Look – your sons and daughters are coming from afar, all assembling in the Land. You will rejoice at the sight. The wealth of nations will be yours. Droves of camels laden with treasure will come and flocks of sheep will cover the Land, acceptable offerings for My altar and to enhance the splendour of My Temple.

Who are these that sail along like clouds? They are vessels assembling from the coasts and islands bringing your children from far away, their treasures with them, for the honour of the Holy One of Israel. In My wrath, I struck you down, now in My favour I show you pity. Foreigners and kings will work for you.

For the nation that refuses to serve you will perish, there will be widespread devastation among such nations. The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, to adorn My holy sanctuary. All who reviled you shall pay you homage, calling Jerusalem “The City of the Lord”. I shall give My Land and people everlasting renown. You will receive the best gifts from kings and the nations. Then you will acknowledge that your Redeemer is the Mighty One of Israel. For copper you shall have gold, for iron, silver. You will live in peace and righteousness will rule over you. No more will havoc and ruin be within your borders. Your walls will be deliverance and your gates, praise.

The sun and moon will no longer be your light, for the Lord will be your everlasting light. Your days of mourning will be ended. The Lord’s people, all of them righteous, will possess the Land forever. They are My own planting, the work of My hands for My adornment. The few will become a great nation.

At the appointed time, I, the Lord, will bring this swiftly to pass. Psalms 102:12-22, Isaiah 49:8

‘At the Appointed time’: God has appointed times for His celebrations and actions.
Zephaniah 3:8, Revelation 6:12

‘darkness covers the earth’: It may be months before the smoke and ash from the ‘widespread devastation’ of this disastrous fire from the sky clears. Jeremiah 4:23-27
However, this may also be allegorized: the darkness being people’s separation from God and the Lord our everlasting Light, those who enjoy the Lord’s favour.

‘The Lord’s people, all of them righteous, assembling from the coasts and islands’, Isaiah 49:8-11, Ezekiel 20:34. They travel on every type of transport to the new country of Beulah. Isaiah 62:1-5, Isaiah 66:20

‘Over you, His Glory will appear’, His Glory, not his presence. 1 Thess 1:10

‘Then you will acknowledge your Redeemer’. Revelation 7:9

‘The wealth of nations will be yours’, This happened before; at the first Exodus, the Israelites took treasure from the Egyptians. Exodus 11:2

‘The splendour of My Temple’, One of the first projects of the new inhabitants of Beulah, will be to build the third Temple. The Temple mount will have been cleared and cleansed by the fires and earthquakes of the Lord’s punishment.

The last days

-- God, who at many times and in many ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds, -- Hebrews 1:1.

The LORD's house

-- Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up. Then the Jews said, This temple was forty-six years building, and will you rear it up in three days?

But He spoke of the temple of His body. Therefore when He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said. -- John 2:19-22

-- Jesus said to her, Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you shall neither worship the Father in this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem. You worship what you do not know, we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.

But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to worship Him. God is a spirit, and they who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth.

The woman said to Him, I know that Messiah is coming, who is called Christ. When He has come, He will tell us all things. Jesus said to her, I AM, He speaking to you. -- John 4:21-26.

The mountain of the LORD's house. Exalted above the hills.

-- But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the first-born who are written in Heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel. -- Hebrews 12:22-25.

And all nations shall flow into it.

-- whom He also called, not only us, of Jews, but also of the nations? -- Romans 9:24

-- (as it has been written, "I have made you a father of many nations") --before God, whom he believed, who makes the dead live, and calls the things which do not exist as though they do exist. -- Romans 4:17

-- And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off, and to those who were near. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

Now therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God, and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom every building having been fitly framed together, grows into a holy sanctuary in the Lord; in whom you also are built together for a dwelling place of God through the Spirit. -- Ephesians 2:17-22

Isaiah 2:2-5

-- And it shall be, in the last days 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 into it. And many people shall go and say, Come, and let us go 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 out the Law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. O house of Jacob, come and let us walk in the light of the LORD. -- Isaiah 2:2-5

Judging among the nations

-- And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as all of you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, all of you have done it unto me.

Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as all of you did it not to one of the least of these, all of you did it not to me. -- Extract from Matthew 25:31-46

He teaches us His ways

-- God, who at many times and in many ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds, -- Hebrews 1:1.

-- And He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths. For out of Zion shall go out the Law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. -- Isaiah 2:3

Psalms 102:12-14 You, Lord are enthroned forever, Your fame will endure to all generations. You will arise and have mercy on Zion, for it is time to take pity on her; the appointed time has come. Hab. 2:3 The Land is dear to Your servants, even the dust and stones moves them to pity.

Psalms 102:15-17 The nations will revere Your Name and all the earthy leaders; Your glory, when You rebuild Zion again. On that Day You will hear the prayer of the destitute, He will not spurn their plea.

Psalms 102:18-22 This will be written down for future generations, so that people as yet unborn may praise the Lord. He looks down from His sanctuary on high and surveys the earth. He hears the groans of the captives and He sets free those under a death sentence. So; when the peoples are assembled to worship, in Jerusalem, the Name of the Lord will be praised.

Psalms 103:6-14 The Lord is righteous in all He does, He gives justice to those wronged. He revealed His ways to Moses and showed mighty deeds to the Israelites. The Lord is compassionate and gracious, longsuffering and He will not keep His anger forever. He has not treated us as our sins deserve, but as the heavens are far above the earth, so is His love for those who fear Him. In His compassion for us, He puts our offences far away, for He knows how we were made and remembers that we are but dust.

Psalms 106:4-5 Remember me, Lord, when you show favour to Your people, look on me when you save them, that I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones, so that I may rejoice in Your nations joy and exult with Your own people.

Psalms 106:47-48 Deliver us, Lord our God and gather us from the nations, so that we may give thanks to Your holy Name, we will make Your praise our pride. Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting – and the people say: AMEN. PRAISE THE LORD!

Isaiah 49:8-11 The Lord says; In the time of My favour, on the Day of Deliverance, I will come to your aid, you are My people; destined to be a light to the nations and to restore the Land. Go free now and in the Land, you will find food and water in plenty. It will not be too hot when the one who loves you will guide you along highways. My people, coming from all parts of the world, will shout for joy as they enter the Land. For the Lord has comforted His people in their distress. Ref: REB. Some verses abridged.


These verses describe a deliverance of ‘those who fear the Lord’. As ‘He looks down from on high and sets free the exiles’, so this must occur before the Return of Jesus. ‘My people, destined to be a light to the nations and to restore the Land’. This is the second Exodus – ‘His people, coming from all parts of the world’, every faithful Christian will live in the new country of Beulah in peace and security. Isaiah 62:1-5 It is them who greet the Returning Jesus with: ‘Blessed is He that comes in the Name of the Lord’.
