A BIBICAL GENERATION AND RABBI JUDAH ben DAVID'S 1271 A.D. PROPHECY

In my last post we were looking at Rabbi Judah ben David's prophecy about the Holy Land which he gave in 1217 A.D. I will let the Bible speak for itself as to what a generation is in Yehovah's eyes. There are many opinions on what a Biblical generation is, some say 40 years, others 70 years.

I believe the Bible says a generation is one hundred years, at least in how it applys to prophecy and how long people live. Today it is rare that anyone lives to be over 100 years old. Therefore the majority of a generation that sees specific events will have died within a hundred years. First let's see what the Word says:

Genesis 15:12-16 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him. and he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; and also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. and thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

The Israelites came out of Egypt 430 years to the date. This was during the time of the fourth generation. We still need a second witness:

Genesis 17:1, 17, 211 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.
17
Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, “Shall a child be born to a man who is one hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?”
21
But My covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this set time next year.
God was starting a new generation with Isaac when Abraham was 100 years old, welcome to the new generation. Now, a third witness:

Genesis 5:32 And Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah begot Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Genesis 7:6-7
Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters were on the earth. So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood.
Before the flood the last generation of earth (Noah's sons) was 100 years old. When they came out of the ark a new generation would be born to Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Who were each one hundred years old. Finally let's get a fourth and final witness:

Genesis 15:16
Now as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried at a good old age. But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.” The Lord was telling Abraham that after 400 years (four generations) they would leave Egypt.

Concerning the blood moons and coming events within the parameters of ben Samuel's prophecy in 1217 A.D. the one hundred year generation fits very well. In addition, every fifty years is a Jubilee or Yovel year. Jubilee years represent freedom from slavery and return of land inheritence.

Rabbi ben Samuel prophesied in 1217 about the Ottoman Turks taking over the Holy Land. Three hundred years later (or three generations later) in 1517 the Turks took the land. Then, four hundred years later in 1917 the Allies, led by Britain, captured Jerusalem. The result was the Balfour Declaration and the British Mandate in Palestine, promising the Jews a Jewish homeland.

If we look at 1917 as a Jubilee year, we see the land beginning to be restored to Israel. In 1948 Israel became a nation after a short war with the surrounding Arab countries. The city of Jerusalem was divided between Israel and Jordan at that time.

Then in 1967 the city of Jerusalem was captured by Israel and become united under Jewish rule. This, again was a Jubilee year. The land and the capital city of Jerusalem firmly in Jewish hands.

The year 2017 will be the end of the one hundred year generation that began in 1917. It will be a Jubilee year--fifty years from 1967. Will this begin the next step in those things which will occur in Israel as preparation for the return of Yeshua? The reverse of freedom from slavery and return of land inheritance is slavery (captivity) and loss of inheritance.

The nation of Israel has been looking to man to solve the problems with the Arabs and have refused to trust Yehovah for possession of the land. Is God warning them of impending judgments on the nation for giving land for peace? God gave Israel a possession and the world is pressing Israel to give land for peace. The year 2017 is going to begin a new period for Israel, the church, and the world. I believe we will see a shaking of Israel, the called out, (church) and the nations like we have never seen before beginning in 2017. Now is the time to watch and pray for direction and understanding.
 Matthew 24:32-34 - The Parable of the Fig Tree“Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.
