2017 PROPHECY
The Rapture of the Church
– The Tribulations – The Millennium Reign of Jesus Christ
I watch a lot of Christian
Television and heard Pastor John Hagee and Jack Van Impe sharing
about a 900 year old
prophecy which smacks of the beginning of the Tribulation Period.
God does not pick a man to
be a Watchman on the Wall, to
shout out what he sees because
he is perfect, He picks him
because he has made himself available.
We are to be on the
lookout, keeping a watchful eye knowing that the knock on the door is
approaching. We should fill our lamps
with oil that will last throughout the whole night.
Isaiah 21:6 - Let the watchman SHOUT out what he
sees
6 Meanwhile, the Lord said to me, “Put a watchman on the city wall. Let him shout out what he sees. (NLT)
6 Meanwhile, the Lord said to me, “Put a watchman on the city wall. Let him shout out what he sees. (NLT)
Matthew 25:3-4 – STUDY Prepare with the oil of the
Scriptures
3 Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them,
4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. (NKJV)

The Watchman
·
Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel, a top German Talmudic
scholar living in the 12th century was thought of as “The Light of Israel”.
– Even Bishops came to him for advice - It was said that he was tireless in his
efforts to discover the great truths of the Bible through the Kabbalah,
Astrological Observations and “Gematria”; studying the hidden numbers in
words, their meanings and the accounts of its philosophers. – In short he was also
a Mystic.
·
He
was spoken of as a model of abstinence and selflessness and was awaiting with a
burning desire for the coming of the Messiah. -
He authored a number of books including two well-known books The
Divine Majesty and The Book of the Pious (Saints).
·
He
wrote down a Ten Jubilee Prophecy and told his followers that it was NOT
to be opened until after his death, which occurred in the year 1217. – 300 years after his death the
first of his prediction came true with pinpoint accuracy and 450 more years
later the second came true. Now another
150 years, the third prophecy is seemingly just around the corner.
Prophecy
·
God Himself placed the FUNCTION of
Prophet at the top of the NT Church callings. -
The gifts and calling of God are IRREVOCABLE. – It’s in the Book
even if your Church says that the gifts and calling have ceased. - NYOBS 37.09 PROPHETS
·
The function of Prophet was given for the
“PERFECTING” of the Believer and the building up of the Church. Since we still need to build up the Church
and we will not be perfected until the return of Christ; till then, we most
certainly need the function of a Prophet.
·
Daniel was told to SHUT UP and SEAL the prophesy until the time of the end.
·
The Unsealing of Bible Prophecy
will be a period of people searching and gaining much knowledge. - Today the
internet is doing that for us and Knowledge has exploded. – Look at how far
man’s knowledge has come in just 100 years – The capacity of a computer
housed in a 10 story building in 1975 is now available in your personal smart
phone clipped to your belt.
1 Corinthians 12:27-28 –
God appointed the FUNCTION of Prophet
27 Now you are the body of
Christ, and members individually.
28 And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second PROPHETS, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. (NKJV)

1 Corinthians 14:3 – For Edification,
Exhortation and Comfort
3 But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.

Matthew 10:19-20 – Spirit will speak prophetically
through you
19 But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say,
20 for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. (NIV2011)

Daniel 12:4 – Shut up the words until the time of the
end
4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” (ESV)

Daniel 12:9-10 - Sealed until
the time of the end
9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
10 Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but the wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall understand.
9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
10 Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but the wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall understand.
(ESV)
Daniel 12:4 -Many will
rush here & there, knowledge will increase
4 But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase.” (NLT)
4 But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase.” (NLT)
Matthew 24:36 – No man knows when the Jesus Christ
will return
36 But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. (ESV)

Side Bar
·
I had trouble finding the original source
proving that this prophecy even exist. Although others have also written on this
article, there seems to have been only one original source which was published
in the Israel Today Magazine on
March of 2008 on page 18.
·
The article was written by Ludwig
Schneider, a German-language scholar who had discovered an amazing prophecy dating
back to 1217 by a scholarly and highly respected Rabbi by the name of Rabbi
Judah Ben Samuel.
·
Schneider translated from German into English
“highlights” of the prophecy from one of the few surviving hand written copies
concerning the nation of Israel and the messianic era.
·
To say it another way; this prophecy is outside
of the Bible Scriptures and it is only “highlights” of the prophecy and we have
only ONE WITNESS and the Bible requires TWO. So going into this study, we walk with
caution.
Deuteronomy 19:15 – A matter is established with TWO witnesses
15 One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity or any sin that he commits; by the mouth of TWO or three witnesses the matter shall be established. (NKJV)
15 One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity or any sin that he commits; by the mouth of TWO or three witnesses the matter shall be established. (NKJV)
Jubilee Year
·
Jubilee - We can’t talk about
this Prophecy until we understand what a
Jubilee year is.
·
Hard Times - In order to pay off a debt or just survive, someone
would offer up his land or make himself or his family a slave until the year
of the Jubilee.
·
The Jubilee Year is the year at the end of seven cycles of Sabbatical years, and according to scripture
it deals largely with the ownership and management
of the Land in Israel; it would return to its original Tribe owner. – This was
a set time and did not change.
·
There is debate that the process of slaves being liberated
would begin during the last 7th year of the 49th year
just before the 50th Jubilee year. (I mention only because it is so
contested.)
·
Property, and property rights, slaves and prisoners would be freed,
debts would be forgiven, and the mercies of God would be particularly manifest.
·
Year of Rest - This was a year of celebration
and rest from work for the nation of Israel. – (We
have that now every year in America … Except we call it WELFARE.)
·
The Land - You would neither reap
nor sow in the Jubilee year, but just live off what is produced voluntarily by the
land. – So it was also a Year of rest for the land.
·
A Jubilee is a period of 50 years
and pretty well “marks time” within Bible scripture.
Leviticus 25:8-13 – Seven years of Seven – 49
Years
8 Count seven weeks of years, seven times seven years, so that the time of the seven weeks of years shall give you forty-nine years.
9 Then you shall sound the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month.
10 And you shall consecrate the FIFTIETH YEAR, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, when each of you shall return to his property and each of you shall return to his clan.
11 That FIFTIETH YEAR shall be a JUBILEE for you; in it you shall neither sow nor reap what grows of itself nor gather the grapes from the undressed vines.
12 For it is a JUBILEE. It shall be holy to you. You may eat the produce of the field.
13 In this year of jubilee each of you shall return to his property.

Israel
·
Israel is referred to in scripture as figs
or a fig tree in the Olivet Discourse.
·
In 1948 Israel (The fig Tree)
became a Nation – Scripture says when the “FIG TREE” branches
become tender and puts out its leaves (becomes mature) you can know that Jesus Christ is
near and one full GENERATION will not pass away until He returns
·
A Generation is counted by most to
be 50 years not counting those under 20 as the Bible did. This year 2015, subtract 1948 would
equal 67 years, so with me being in my 70’s, I might just be a part of witnessing
Christ’s return. - SELAH
Hosea 9:10 – Israel is like figs on a fig tree
10 Like grapes in the wilderness, I found Israel. Like the first fruit on the fig tree in its first season, I saw your fathers. But they came to Baal-peor and consecrated themselves to the thing of shame, and became detestable like the thing they loved. (ESV)

Jeremiah 24:5 –Israel is the good figs
5 Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so I will regard as good the exiles from Judah, whom I have sent away from this place to the land of the Chaldeans.

Matthew 24:32-34 - These things
take place in one generation
32 From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near.
33 So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates.
34 Truly, I say to you, THIS GENERATION (that sees this) will not pass away until all these things take place.

29 And he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees.

THREE PROPHECIES - RABBI JUDAH BEN SAMUEL
Prophecy 1 – Eighth Jubilee Year
·
Israel will be invaded by the Ottoman Empire (The Turks) and conquer Jerusalem and rule the Holy City for Eight
Jubilee years -This happened in 1517 - 300
years after Judah
Ben Samuel’s death
·
Turks Rule - Eight Jubilees times
Fifty years is Four Hundred Years.
·
British General Edmund Allenby conquered Jerusalem; believe
it or not on Hanukkah, in 1917,
Eight Jubilee Years later; FOUR HUNDRED YEARS to the day without firing
a shot and occupied it till 1967.
·
Prophecy 1 came true. (700 years after Judah Ben Samuel’s death)
Prophecy 2 – Ninth Jubilee Year
·
Israel will become a No-Man’s
Land
for One Jubilee or Fifty Years after the Ottomans were driven out.
·
The British defeated the Ottomans (The Turks) in 1917.
·
The League of Nations conferred a mandate for
the Holy Land and Jerusalem to the British.
Thus from 1917 under international law, Jerusalem became a No-Man’s Land.
·
Because
of British Mandate Rule, from 1917 to 1967, The Holy Land literally belonged to
No Nation, the Jewish people were allowed to live in Israel, but they had no
rights. They were told what they could
and could not do.
·
This
ended with the Six Day War
when Israel defeated five nations in six days and captured Jerusalem from
Jordan and the city returned to the Jewish People. (50 years to the day had passed)
·
Prophecy 2 came true. (This happened 750 years after Judah Ben Samuel’s death)
Prophecy 3 – Tenth Jubilee Year
·
Within the next Jubilee Year Jerusalem will have been
returned to the Jewish People (that happened in 1948) and the Messianic end
times will begin. – 1967 plus 50 years is the year 2017.
·
I don’t believe that the prophet is
giving a date for the return of Christ, but is sounding the alarm as a Watchman,
that we are probably the generation that will not pass away before Christ
returns.
·
We are urged to be diligent to
know the Word of God to check out everything that we hear, see or read;
including this commentary.
·
My world view is that God has already
said that NO MAN knows when this time will be, but has given us SIGNS to let us know that He is near. I believe Christ will come back for His Church
with “the Rapture” before the Tribulations begins. – NYOBS 01.23 RAPTURE
·
The Seven Year Tribulation
Period
(The 70th week of Daniel) would start in the year 2017.
·
Note: This would be a Terrible Jubilee if we were all in the throes of the Tribulations
unless we are talking about sharing in the Rapture of the Saints or
sharing in the reign of Jesus Christ in the Millennium. – NYOBS 43.25 TRIBULATIONS – NYOBS 42.18 SEVEN LAST PLAGUES –
NYOBS 25.28 MILLENNIUM REIGN PURPOSE – NYOBS 35.24 FOUR HOURSEMEN
OF THE APOCOLYPSE.
Luke 21:29-33 – SIGNS - The Kingdom of God is near
29 And he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees.
30 As soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near.
31 So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NEAR.
32 Truly, I say to you, THIS GENERATION will not pass away until all has taken place.
33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. ESV

Signs
·
We are told to watch the SIGNS,
not the CALENDAR.
·
Concurrent signs of the Messianic end times:
1. The preaching of the Gospel in the whole world
as a testimony to all the nations:
2. Many turning away from the Faith because of
false prophets or teachings.
3. Great Tribulations more intense and
extensive such as the world has ever seen since the beginning of time; Increased
Frequency of: GREAT Earthquakes, Wars, Terrorism, Famines and Pestilence, ALL
occurring around the same time.
4. As a sign, at some point Jerusalem will be completely
surrounded by the enemy.
5. The Anti-Christ will set up an image of
himself in the Holy of Holies 3 ½ years into the tribulations; this is known as
the Abomination of Desolation. This is the first time we know who the
Anti-Christ is, although many will already suspect because of scripture. NYOBS 21.18 ANTICHRIST –
NYOBS 02.10 SATAN; WHY IS HE? - NYOBS
38.23 THE NEW HITLER - NYOBS 40.11 RED
HEIFER – NYOBS 38.16 FOUR BLOOD MOONS - NYOBS 22.02 AMRAGEDDON -
·
Countdown –
This abomination starts the clock of 3 ½ years or 1290 days until the end of the
tribulations and the return of the Messiah. – I did not say
this; God did !
Matt 24:6-8 – The beginning of the Tribulations
6 You will hear of wars
and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must
happen, but the end is still to come.
7 Nation will rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes
in various places.
8 All these are the
beginning of birth pains. NIV
Luke 21:9-11 – Signs heavens – Earthquakes, Famines,
Pestilence
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.
10 Then said he unto them,
Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11 And GREAT earthquakes
shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful
sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. KJV
Matt 24:21 – Unequaled distress from the beginning
21 For then there will be great
distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now-and
never to be equaled again. NIV
Matt 24:10-12 – People leaving the Christian faith
10 At that time many
will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,
11 and many false
prophets will appear and deceive many people.
12 Because of the increase
of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, NIV
Matt 24:14 – Gospel will be preached to the whole world.
14 And this gospel
of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to
all nations, and then the end will come. NIV
Matt 24:15 – Anti-Christ sets
up image of himself in the temple
15 "So when you see standing in the holy
place `the abomination that causes desolation,' spoken of through
the prophet Daniel - let the reader understand – NIV
Dan 9:27 – PROPHESY - The
end poured out at Christ’s return.
27 In the middle of the `seven' he will put
an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing [of the temple] he will set up an
abomination that causes desolation, UNTIL THE END that is decreed is
poured out on him. NIV
Luke 21:20 – Jerusalem surrounded by the enemy
20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem
compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
KJV
Messianic End Times
- We have
always known
that NO ONE knows when Christ’s second coming will be. We know things will be going along
normal and Christ’s return will be a total surprise.
- We have
always had wars,
famine and earthquakes, but when we start to have more of them and closer
together, we are at the beginnings of the Second Advent of Christ.
- The beginning
of the end
is when the Anti-Christ is
released on a white horse to deceive and to conquer. He is the first of The Four Horsemen
of the Apocalypse. NYOBS 35.24
- There
will be an apostasy; a great falling away from God that occurs during the
tribulation period between Part 1, the Rapture and Part 2 of the second
coming of Christ – The reason that the apostasy is so great is that the
Church with all the Saints and the Holy Spirit are all
gone from the earth. There is no
remaining restraining force!
Matt 24:36-39 – NO ONE knows
when Christ will return
36 "No one knows about that day or hour,
not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at
the coming of the Son of Man.
38 For in the days before the flood, people
were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day
Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen
until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the
coming of the Son of Man.
NIV
Matt 24:6-8 – Wars,
famine, earthquakes are the beginning
6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars,
but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is
still to come.
7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various
places.
8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
NIV
Rev 6:1-2 – Anti-Christ is
released to deceive and conquer
1 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the
seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like
thunder, "Come!"
2 I looked, and there before me was a white
horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out
as a conqueror bent on conquest. NIV
Christ’s Return – 1st Part – In the AIR - The Rapture
- The
return of Christ is in two parts – “In the AIR” and 7 years later “On the
EARTH”.
- Jesus clearly states He
is coming back for us and will meet us in the air and we will
receive a crown of glory.
Christians refer to this as the catching away or rapture of the
Saints.
- John states he was in
the Spirit in Heaven and sees Jesus Christ on the Throne. Sounds
like he was raptured to me. – Just saying.
- John’s body was not
yet glorified, so only his spirit was allowed before the throne.
- NOTE: The Believers will hear “a single sound”,
described three different
ways. Only the believers hear
this sound. A Shout – The Voice of an Archangel – A Trumpet -
- When Jesus raised
Lazarus from the dead, He called Lazarus’s name specifically so that all
the dead would not “come forth”.
Here He is specific again; and now ALL the dead in Christ
will come forth. - (John 11:43 When he had
said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth”)
- NOTE
2: Those “who are
asleep” or dead in Christ have
a priority with the Lord in the First
Resurrection, as they will go up first, then those that remain
alive will join them. Only the believers
in Christ are involved here. The
rest must wait for the Second
Resurrection.
- TRANSLATED - When someone
speaks to you in a different language, it needs to be translated into English in order for you to understand it.
- When
Jesus came to earth, His spiritual attributes were translated into physical
attributes, which is what we see in Him as a physical mortal man. - Man
was made with physical attributes like Christ and at the rapture
when we are translated it will
be with spiritual attributes and we will be like Him and we shall see him as He is.
- The
Greek understanding is we will be caught
up, snatched out or taken away speedily - as fast as your eye can blink. I
would love to see this in slow motion as I go up, - just saying -
- This is when we will
get a new immortal body – Mine will be about 32 years old and my
body will look like Arnold Schwarzenegger’s except I will talk
Southern Hebrew. ( I’ll be BOCK in 7 years)
Rev 4:2 – John Raptured in
spirit - Sees Jesus on the throne
2 And immediately I was
in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat
on the throne. KJV
1 Thess 1:10 – Jesus will deliver us from the wrath to come
10 Wait for his Son
from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered
us from the wrath to come. KJV
Matt 24:37-41 – Things will be normal, then it all happens at
once.
37 As it was in the
days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
38 For in the days before
the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,
up to the day Noah entered the ark;
39 and they knew nothing
about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is
how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
40 Two men will be in
the field; one will be taken and the other left
41 Two women will be
grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. NIV
Acts 1:11 – Jesus will return the same way that He left
11 "Men of
Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This
same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the
same way you have seen him go into heaven."
NIV
1 Thess 4:16-17 – Christ will descend with a shout – Dead will
rise
16 For the Lord Himself
shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are
alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air:
and so shall we ever be with the Lord. KJV
1 Cor 15:51-52 – Some Believers will not die, but will be
changed
51 Behold, I show you a
mystery; we shall not “all sleep”, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the
twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and
the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
John 14:2-3 – We will be where He is
2 In my Father's house are
many mansions: (ROOMS) if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to
prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare
a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where
I am, there ye may be also.
KJV
1 John 3:2 – We shall be like Him and see Him as He is
2 Beloved, now we are the sons
of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when
he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
KJV
Christ’s Return – 2nd Part – On the EARTH - The Wrath
- The
final and great sign of the return of Christ will be an AUDABLE trumpet blast and Christ VISIBLY appears in
majestic “clouds” of glory, riding on a white horse. He is wearing many crowns
and His white robe has been dipped in blood. – EVERYBODY WILL
- He will be seen in a blazing fire everywhere all
at once, as lightning is
seen from the East to the West. – THIS IS SERIOUS STUFF
- He will
be surrounded by;
(A) innumerable angels. (B)
His saints of old; (C)
those previously raptured; (D)
the resurrected righteous from the tribulation period; (E) and the armies of heaven that
follow Him. – WOW – WHAT AN ENTRANCE !
- An EARTHQUAKE takes

The Date
·
Some folks believe Jesus will return during
“Sukkot”; The Feast of
Tabernacles that occurs October 4th through October 11th
of 2017.
·
God says No man knows when Christ
will return; not even the angels, nor The Son, only God Knows. – But He
said we could read the signs and know that the time is near.
·
Some writings indicate that Judah Ben
Samuel had a visitation from the Prophet Elijah who revealed many things to
him. Scripture refutes TRUE visitations from the dead
and besides that, if the Son of God does not know the date of the second coming,
then I feel pretty sure Elijah would not know either. - NYOBS 42.26 NECROMANCY; COMMUNICATING WITH THE DEAD
·
God has revealed Himself - He has held out His
hands - The End of Time is just around the corner – Decide NOW – Answer the
call before the door is closed. – Life
is Choice Driven.

knows when Christ will return

the Nation whose God is the LORD
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage! (ESV)
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage! (ESV)
I called you, but you did not answer
I revealed myself to those
who did not ask for me;
I was found by those who did
not seek me.
To a nation that did
not call on my name, I said, `Here am I, here am I.'
All day long I have held
out my hands to an obstinate people, who walk in ways not good, pursuing
their own imaginations--
a people who continually
provoke me to my very face, who say,
`Keep away; don't come
near me,
I will destine you for the
sword, and you will all bend down for the slaughter;
for I called, but you did
not answer,
I spoke, but you did not listen.
You did evil in my sight
and chose what displeases me. (Isa 65:1-12)
In the multitude of
counselors,
there is wisdom.
Proverbs 11:14
I
am grateful to those that went before me providing concepts, ideas, historical
information, and scripture verses.
Because of them I can stand on their shoulders and see further that I
otherwise ever could have.
