"...I am God, and there is none like Me.
Declaring the end from the beginning.
And from ancient times 
things that are not yet done..." 
- Isaiah 46:9-10

..

           Think for a minute what the Bible claims to be, it is the message from the CREATOR to the creation.  The question is: How does the CREATOR authenticate the message?  How does HE prove to the creation that HE is the one sending the message?  The primary way HE has chosen to do that is by telling the creation the future before it happens.

Prophecy validates the Bible, and proves the existence of the CREATOR.  There are approximately 10,835 prophecies in the Bible, some are of curses and punishments, some are of blessings and redemption, and they are of two types, fulfilled, and unfulfilled. The fulfilled ones we learn from, and the unfulfilled ones are the ones we are watching for, (sometime in the future they will show up on the radar screen). They are organized into three categories:          

  • [1] The Land: The home land of the Hebrew people are recorded in Deuteronomy 29:10-15, 30:11-20. Prophecies in the Book Of Daniel, and other Prophets, reaffirms the land given in the Abrahamic Covenant (Gen.15:18). 

  • [2] The Messiah: There are over 200 prophecies regarding the Messiah.

  • [3] The End Times (Eschatology): Are prophecies that deal with death, resurrection, the end of the age, Divine judgment, and the future world.

          The Prophet Daniel prophesied, that knowledge will increase in the end times (Dan.12:4), technically speaking, this website and book is a fulfillment of prophecy.  Through the ages, the wise teachers of the faithful say, the sure word of prophecy gives us hope (2Pet.1:19-21).  They would say Yahshua is telling us to be ever vigilant of our spiritual condition, and watchful of the real powers. 

          Prophecy should lead us to YAHWEH.  Prophecy reminds us that YAHWEH’S Hand is in control of the course of humanities history.  Prophecy assures us that good will triumph over evil and gives us hope for a future peaceful and just world.  Prophecy tells us beyond the injustice of today, and wars of tomorrow, there is good news.

          For the lay person, YAHWEH had the Prophets publicly declare prophecies to the masses.  For the technocrats, YAHWEH very skillfully engineered, and supernaturally dictated, meaningful prophetic references planted in the original text.  Many know of the strange anomalies hinting to an amazing spiritual design of certain repetitive numbers in the Bible, such as three, seven, eight, etc.  It is called the Study of Biblical Numerology and is explained in the book Number in Scripture by E.W. Bullinger (published by Kregel Publications).  But today’s computers are taking the numbers game to a new higher level.

          Today, generating much controversy and debate in the scholarly Bible circuit is the “Statical Science of Equidistant Letter Sequences,” commonly called the Bible Skip Code.  It is a mathematical formula that reveals hidden words or phrases embedded in the original Hebrew Torah.  They are hidden mysterious codes which contain prophecies of people, places, and events, reaching to our present day and beyond.  It was first discovered by Isaac Newton.  He spent half of his life trying to unlock the supernatural puzzle.  It essentially remained one of those spooky coincidences of the Bible.  Today’s super-fast computers are unlocking the hidden code and are revealing interesting information about the past and the future of humanity. 

          The Bible Skip Code is detailed in the book The Bible Code by Michael Drosnin, published by Simon & Schuster.  Strict scientific and statistical rules are used on these Bible codes and have been confirmed by mathematicians around the world.  It is interesting to note that cd format programs for the personal computer are available for sale.  It took modern technology to make it easy. 

          The five Books making up the Torah, are digitized and arranged to its original one long line of 304,805 Hebrew characters.  Then use a number, say 50 for example because it was the 50 days from the Exodus to the giving of the Torah to people at Mt Sinai (from The Day of Firstfruits to Pentecost).  Go to the first book of the Bible, Genesis, find the first Hebrew letter representing the letter T, then skip 49 and pick up the 50th letter.  Do this three more times.  The Hebrew letters picked up are then translated into English and in this example the word found is “TORH,” meaning Torah.

          This happens in the first two Books.  The last two Books spell “TORH” backwards, which seems to point to the middle book Leviticus - the Book of the Priesthood - where every eighth letter comes up YHWH.

           Just a coincidence?  The odds-makers have it as less than one in three million that it could happen by chance, and there are many such examples.  Once again the Bible critics are cryin’ in their beer, because this supernatural signature proves that the (original Hebrew) Holy Scriptures are Divinely given, skillfully engineered, and can have only been authored by our CREATOR.  It is not just a historical tradition from a bunch of itinerant desert dwellers.

*BEWARE: To some, apocalyptic visions serve the purpose of manipulation for recruiting, making bizarre demands, and pushing you into a group without thinking it through.  This only makes the subject of prophecy look bad.  The Apostle Paul writes in 1Thessalonians 5:19-22, Do not quench the Spirit.  Do not despise prophecies.  Test all things [through study]; hold fast what is good and then retain what is good.” 

 We must remember we are all students, and our CREATOR is our teacher.  We must watch our CREATOR unfold HIS plan for humanity.  Not watch how we think it should unfold.  

 

Prophecy for the Land

It is a fools folly 
to fight over something 
that already belongs to YHWH.

Psalms 122

            Jerusalem and it's surrounding area have been important to our CREATOR and HIS Believers since the time of Abraham and Melchizedek, Genesis 14:18. And make-no-mistake, YHWH will decree what is to be done with it...

           Jerusalem is ground zero in the spiritual war, (Zec.12:3). At the end of the New Covenant, YHWH clearly challenges anyone, human or otherwise, who thinks HE is finished with Israel, to step forward and tell HIM how HE hung the planets, and how HE set the Universe in motion, because that will be the day when Israel will cease to be a nation (Jer.31:35-36). 

           The Restoration of Israel. "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people," Hebrews 8:10.  Yahshua calls Israel His inheritance, he will rule the planet from the throne of David.  The Covenants that YAHWEH made with Abraham and Moses, the Kingdom Covenants YAHWEH made with King David and King Solomon, along with all the prophecies made through the prophets of the Hebrew Testament will be finally realized in the Millennial Kingdom. (Israel's: past - Rom.9:1-29, present - 9:30-10:21, future restoration -11:1-36.) 

            These promises of peace, justice, prosperity and eternal blessings for Israel will be fulfilled when the Messiah sets up His throne in Jerusalem.  Ezekiel prophesied of their restoration in chapter 36:26-28, and their national borders are outlined in chapter 47:13-23.  The ten lost tribes will come home, and the division of the land to the 12 Tribes of Israel is stated in chapter 48:1-29.  Hosea prophesied that the divorce from YAHWEH the FATHER is reconciled (chapter 1:9-10).  He will give them a new heart, forgiveness of sin, and the in-filling of the Holy Spirit to a renewed nation.  Isaiah prophesied Israel will be given a new name chapter 62:4.

           The people chosen by YAHWEH to receive HIS laws, were commanded to live by example to display to the other nations of the world the benefits of YAHWEH'S commands and ways of living.  Being the chosen ones was a double edge sword for the Hebrew people, as they were held to a higher standard by YAHWEH, they suffered many punishments for their transgressions. And because of their destiny, they endured many horrible assaults from the dark powers.  

            Now, they will all be living again in their land under the Messiah Yahshua as a model society to all the nations of the world.  This will be the model society that all the nations will send delegations to, to copy and adopt this form of government in their own countries (Isaiah 42:6).  A perfect and just peace will flow from Jerusalem called "the City of Peace" because the Prince of Peace will rule forever (Joel 2:28-29; Isaiah 2:2-4,19:23-25; Micah 4:1-3.)  

            The Bride of the Messiah will be headquartered in the complex of the  Millennial Temple to YHWH with Yahshua.  The prophet Ezekiel in chapter 40-43, give a pretty detailed description of the Temple. For those who can see, YHWH is showing us that HE is in charge.  

            The nations of humanity will culturally reset to the time before 1Samuel ch.8.  As in the Book of Judges, it will be a government based the revolutionary Protestant concept, that GOD directly empowers the people instead of a king, and what GOD directly gives, no man can take away. The dusty statue books that control us today will be gone in a world in which the people will finally accept their responsibility of GOD given freedom.   

 

Prophecy of the Messiah

.

YHWH first gave the prophecy of  a Promised Seed
to Adam and Eve, 
to give them hope for the future.  
 This coming Deliverer would undo the damage 
which Satan had done to humankind.

"
And I will put enmity between you and the woman, 
and between your seed and her seed; 
He shall bruise you on the head, 
and you shall bruise him on the heel." -Genesis 3:15

.

            The hills are full of deliverers . . ..  (True even today, messiahs’ are a dime a dozen, and it is going to get worse before it gets better, Mat.24:24.)  But the faithful knew, one day there would be a special one, someone who would be unique, someone who would miraculously deliver them . . ..  But how will we know whom YAHWEH has chosen? 

            The “chosen one” will be proved by the words of the Prophets. The Messiah, sent by our FATHER, has two missions: The rejected-suffering Messiah, and the conquering-ruling Messiah, (Isa.53:3-6, 9:6-7).   Make-no-mistake, Yahshua of Nazareth was the only man to fulfill to the letter over 200 Scriptural prophecies, many were predicted some 1,000 years in advance.  Every single messianic prophecy of the Hebrew Bible was precisely fulfilled by the life of Yahshua, in a literal, common sense way. And there are over 300 prophecies in the New Testament of Yahshua's second coming as the conquering-redeeming Messiah.

           The prophecies surrounding His trial and death are so accurate that critics have argued that the accounts must have been written after the event.  But that lasted only until the discovery of Dead Sea Scrolls which recorded the words of Isaiah 53:1,3,7,12 at least 250 years before His birth and could have not been added to the Book of Isaiah after the life of Yahshua.

            Known as the "Seventy Weeks prophecy."   The Angel Gabriel told the Prophet Daniel, about 500 years before Yahshua appeared, that the order will soon come forth to rebuild Jerusalem.  And the Angel tells him that exactly 483 years from the time the order was given the Messiah will come to present himself.  There is zero margin for error in the prophecy, it calculates 173,880 days which foretold the exact year, the exact month, and the exact day, Palm Sunday, when Yahshua presented Himself to Israel as the Messiah and was cut off from His people, (Dan.9:24-27). 

           His genealogy is recorded from Shem, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, and King David. Prophecy says the Messiah will come from Bethlehem (Mic.5:2), not Brooklyn, NY, Waco, Texas, Korea, or Madrid, Spain, etc.  His mission: He came to die (Isa.53:5-11) and to be resurrected (Ps.16:10). 

           Some have calculated that the law of compound probabilities calculates the odds of this is 1 in 8 x 10 to the 63 power, or 1 in 80 plus 63 zeros, that the Prophets could have accurately predicted that any one man’s life could fulfill these detailed prophecies by chance alone.  If you are not into numbers, some picture the odds of this event like this: If someone dropped a diamond ring out of an airplane into the ocean, then challenged you to go out in a boat and wander around as long as you like, then drop a line and hook the ring on the first try.  The odds on success would be the same odds correctly predicting the events of the Messiah. 

           Yahshua was the only man who claimed to be the son of YAHWEH.  Prophets of the other major religions never claimed to be anything other then a human being.  For example: Around 600 B.C.E., Buddha in India, claimed only that he found the way of release from the misery of this world.  Buddha’s golden rule states: “Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.”  He taught his followers enlightenment, that the difficulties of life can be overcome by lowering ones sense of self importance.  His philosophy focuses on living in the present - not on worrying about an afterlife.  Today, it has splintered into many sub-branches, but they still have the same goal, the search of ones true self.  Over the centuries they developed beneficial exercises to focus concentration in an effort to discipline the mind, calm the body and develop compassion, hopefully, resulting in an increased awareness and respect for the life around us.  These are admirable personal goals, people need to lighten up, but where is our hope for the future?

           In China, Confucius sought to transmit the wisdom of the ancient sages.  Opposite of the Roman ways, Confucius and his disciples distrusted written laws.  A dusty statute book was too inflexible to handle the infinite variety of human experience.  He chose to trust people, not laws, and taught a philosophy of personal virtue, devotion to family and social justice, to rely on innate human goodness as the best guarantee of a civil society.  He was probably closer to the Biblical mark of the Noadic Covenant teachings, than most give him credit for - but where is our hope for the future?  The golden rule of Confucianism is: “Do not unto others what you would not have them do unto you.” 

          In Arabia, Muhammad, the founder of Islam, in 610 C.E., who was a merchant-turned warrior, said of himself that he was merely a human prophet of the one deity, Allah.

          Today: Even liberal scholars now admit that the accounts of the life, death, and resurrection of Yahshua were written and distributed within thirty-five years of the events recorded in the Gospels.  Tens of thousands of people who saw Yahshua were alive to read these widely distributed documents about His resurrection.  These eyewitnesses did not dispute the facts of His resurrection.  There is more historically verifiable evidence that Yahshua lived, died and rose from the dead, then exists to prove that Julius Caesar ever lived.  

         Most will agree, no other single event had as much impact on civilization then this single persons life and short three and one-half year ministry.

Eschatology - Prophecy of the End Times

"...knowledge shall increase in the end times."
- Daniel 12:4
(Technically speaking, this website and book is fulfilling prophecy.)
 
           Spiritually we are currently living under the Age of Grace, the age of learning.  Sometime in the future, almost tomorrow, this age will close.  When the Bible referrers to prophecy of the end times, it means the last days of one age, leading to the next age. There are two big end time events yet to come. The end of this Age of Grace, leading to the next Messianic age of a thousand years of peace under the Messiah (Rev.20:11-21, 20:1-6). And the other event is after the Messianic age, the last days leading up to the Great White Throne Judgment (Rev.20:7-9), ending this mortal age under the curse of sin. 
 
           These will be times of great tribulation for humanity, but it is important to remember the end of these ages is not the end of the world, the Bible says over 120 times that the Earth will go on forever. 

           Most of the prophecies in the books of Zechariah, Daniel, Matthew, Revelations, relates to the events of transition at the end of this Age of Grace, leading to the beginning of the next Messianic age, commonly called the Tribulation era.  See the Tribulation / Apocalypse  Prophecies web pages for more info.  Another key in understanding the end times prophecies is to learn about the Biblical Holy Days. 

WARNING regarding the coming tribulation era:  NEVER, EVER, have a computer chip implanted under your skin that keeps all your personal information and identity (Rev.13:9-10). The Bible calls it the Mark of the Beast (Satan), Rev.13:16-17. These devices will eventually cause a health problem (Rev.16:2), and anyone who has this implant when the Messiah arrives will not do well (Rev.14:9-11).

Sir Isaac Newton, 
a great scientist and a student of prophecy stated:  
"About the time of the end,
a body of men will be raised up
who will turn their attention to the prophesies
and insist upon their literal interpretation
in the midst of much clamor and opposition."
