PART SIX – GOD IS BUILDING HIS NATION WHILE THE NATIONS RAGE

SUMMARY

In this final part of the series we’ll summarize what we have learned and how it applies to our time. God’s way is far above the ways of man. He has His purpose at work and it will be accomplished in His time.

If a day is as a thousand years to the Lord (with whom there is no “time”) then we can understand that God moves deliberately and purposefully in human history. For instance, let’s divide 1000 years by 10%. This equals 100 years. That is about as long as a human lives.

If we take 10% of a 24 hour day we get 2.4 hours! A hundred years is as 2.4 hours to the Lord. It takes time for prophecy to be fulfilled! The events we see developing in Europe, Russia, China, the Middle East, and America are slowly developing—but when the crisis hits it will seem to have come quickly!

If we understand the two sticks and who Judah and Ephraim represent it helps us to understand what the Apostle Paul is writing about in Romans 11. The Father has a plan and He is bringing both Jew and Gentile together in these last days prior to the return of His son Yeshua.

Much of prophecy is dual—it often has several fulfillments. The abomination of desolation in Daniel has occurred more than once in history. It happened during the period of the Maccabees in 165 BC and it will happen during the tribulation period. Yeshua told us in Matthew 24 to look for it.

The prophecies in the Old Testament concerning the last days are also dual. They are for the Jewish people and those who are grafted into Yeshua. Paul said all Israel would be saved when Yeshua returns. All of those alive at that time will be crying out for salvation and He will come and save the nation.

That nation includes those who have been grafted into Israel. He is also coming to save us. He is coming to save the entire world from self-destruction in that day—both Jew and Gentile. We are not presenting the Kingdom to Him—He is coming to save us and establish the kingdom!

Understanding how we are grafted into Israel also opens up understanding of the Millennial Kingdom during the thousand year reign of Yeshua. We all will belong to a tribe and receive a land inheritance in the MK (Ezekiel 47.22-23). We will be kings and priests representing our King during the world tomorrow. Teaching the nations.

We also learned how to identify the original twelve tribes and those who were grafted in (Ephraim and Manasseh). We looked at Jacob’s latter day prophecies to the tribes. If father Abraham  has descendants numbered as the stars, Elohim is talking about many nations who are not Jewish. Abraham birthed nations. The prophecies in Genesis 48 and 49 reveal this.

Understanding our being grafted in opens much understanding of the Book of Revelation. We did not cover the issue of being “raptured out” but once we understand that is false teaching, we can begin to understand the end times with a clear view. The “church” will be refined through fire and made ready as the true bride.

The Israelite nations of Britain (Ephraim) and the United States (Manasseh) are the end time nations who spread the gospel throughout the earth for several centuries, built empires, and had the blessing of God through Abraham upon them. They were the great powers who controlled the gates of their enemies—the world’s sea gates.

They were blessed by God and were at one time very God oriented nations. Today they have fallen away from God and are experiencing the curses in Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28. The pride of our power is being broken (Leviticus 26.19) and our enemies are rising up against us.

Ephraim and Manasseh were used by God to “push the peoples together” but now they are turning from the source of their myriad blessings. Great Britain and the USA are slowly being isolated. Britain voted to leave the EU. They will lose their prior financial standing. London was a financial center of the world—the EU is going to replace them with Berlin and Brussels.

America has given away her sea gates without a fight—the Panama Canal, for example, is now operated by the Chinese! We follow after entertainment and pleasure as we turn away from the Almighty. As we wage a trade war against the nations they are making trading pacts that ignore America. We too, are going to become isolated. It is the only way we will finally come to national repentance.

The nation of Israel is also being chastised at this time. They too have turned away from their ancient principles. Rather than trust God they look to foreign nations to assist and protect them. In the near future they will look towards Germany and the EU to be their allies. The will be betrayed by these nations prior to the tribulation.

Our three nations are being divided out from among the nations. We are receiving special chastisement for our sins as the nations around us rage. The prophecies in Genesis 48 and 49, Deuteronomy 33, and Matthew 24 and 25 are in the process of fulfilment. When we understand the ancient prophecies we begin to see and understand what is taking place in the world on the Father’s time table.

Ephraim and Dan leading the tribes into idolatry and establishing their own feasts is a shadow of what is happening in the church today. The church is turning away from the word of God and replacing it with human secular doctrines. They are embracing new age concepts and celebrate pagan holidays.

This explains why the restoration of a more Hebraic approach is taking place—God is restoring the Sabbath and His feasts. Gentiles are discovering the roots of the faith. God is building a nation that has returned to its true and original foundations. The Holy Roman Empire will not tolerate this in the near future.

Meanwhile the Holy Roman Empire is also coming together. The Vatican is bringing back her wayward protestant, Anglican, and Eastern brethren. At some future date it is entirely possible there will be one Roman Church once again. It will rule its flock with a rod of iron.

Remember, the Vatican is more than a religion—it is a state. It has its own property, diplomatic corps, hierarchy, and bank. It is a state and a religion and it is working to reunite all of Christendom. Watch as it develops! Anything outside of the Empire will not be tolerated in “that day” which is coming. They will join in a church/state relationship with the EU as the beast develops.

In future posts we will explore how these things have been developing for the past 100 years or 2.4 hours.

Here is one key: Just as individuals have personalities and traits so do nations and organizations. Nations and organizations have a history—and it usually stays true to form for centuries or years. A study of church history confirms this. The Empire has not changed—her goals and ambitions are the same as thousands of years ago!

A study of nations reveals their personality. They remain the same forever. They have ambitions and traits that do not change. They repeat, century after century. This helps us understand Biblical prophecy and how it will become fulfilled. The history of nations and organizations reveal what is coming in the future—from a Biblical perspective.

The world rejects this. They scoff and mock—but the Word of God is forever and does not change. That is His-story!
