The end of the world calendar written in the book of Daniel
concerning the 70 week of years ( 70x7 =
490 years) of which the 69 weeks (69x7=483 years) was fulfilled upon the dead,
resurrection and ascension of the Messiah (Jesus Christ) was used to count the
year of the second coming of Jesus Christ which should have been fulfilled in
AD 40 which he should have returned to begin the age of everlasting righteousness
at the age of 40 based on Daniel chapter 9.
Therefore based on Daniel’s Prophecies, the antichrist would
have emerged in the Holy of Holiest in the temple of Jerusalem proclaiming to
be God during the last seven years of Daniel (2Thes 2:3-4). Based on Daniel’s prophecy,
it should have been fulfilled around AD
36 being the middle of the last seven years of Daniel but had been revoked in
their generation and the temple was destroyed in AD 7O which was outside the last seven years of prophet Daniel.
In another development, Apostle John who wrote the book of
Revelation was also hoping for the Lord’s return in AD 40 based on Daniel’s
Prophecy at the end of the last seven years
as his prophecies in the book of Revelation were reflections of the book of Daniel which also reflects
event of the last seven years written by Daniel including the emergence of the
beast with the mark 666, Therefore, Apostle John wrote, “Behold he is coming
with the clouds of heaven and all eyes shall see him and all those who pierced him (on the cross)…..”(Rev
1:7). His statement implies that those who crucify and pierced him on the cross in that generation will see him
coming with the clouds of heaven just as Jesus told the High Priest during his
trial (Mat 26:63-65).
Therefore, John wrote about that same temple in their time
and was asked to measure the temple but not to measure the court outside the
temple being given over to the gentiles which later fulfilled after the
destruction of the temple in AD 70 and the temple site was taken over by the Muslims
on which an Islamic mosque had been built which represents the court outside
the temple after the main temple had been destroyed. That show that the last seven years had taken
a new dimension and a new programme had been drawn for the whole world and no
longer the nation of Israel and her temple.
Therefore the mark of the beast , the antichrist and the
false prophet will operate on a world level
and no longer related to Israel and the coming of the two witnesses outside Israel in the flesh of the blacks (clothed in sack
cloth) based on the fact that ancient Jews were black skinned similar to the
skin of the Egyptians. Today those
people in Israel were the returned white European Jews after 2500 years on
exile and that was not their real color
of the ancient Jews Just as the Jews in India changed their colors that had just
arrived in Israel from India as some of the returnees to the Promised Land.
Therefore Apostle John, who was also a black
Jew at that time, mentioned the arrival of the two witnesses in the skin of the
blacks to distinguish them from the white European Jews occupying Israel today.
His prophecy implies that two witnesses will come from the black race to maintain
the original colors of the ancient Jews in Israel. (See Revelation chapter 10
to 13).
Therefore the prophecy about the last seven years had been
revoked in respect of the nation of Israel and this is where the division of
Jerusalem becomes very necessary as was also prophesied in the books of the
prophets of old.
Prophet Joel
prophesied about the pouring of the Holy Spirit in the last days which
came to pass with effect on the day of Pentecost as promised by our Lord Jesus Christ (See Joel chapter 2 and Acts of the Apostle
chapter 2).
Now about the division of Jerusalem prophet Joel wrote in the days
of King Jehoshaphat king of Judah and Jerusalem “..
whom they have scattered among the
nations and have parted (Divided) my land (Jerusalem)….” (Joel chapter 3:2).
Therefore Prophet Joel mentioned about the Valley of Decision in Joel chapter 3
in respect of the division of Jerusalem symbolically in the end times.
Prophet Zachariah also
mention about the Valley of Decision in
respect of the division of Jerusalem who wrote that Jerusalem will be divided
into two East to West by a vide valley symbolically Zech. Chapter 14). Each of them gave different prophetic symbols
but the real meaning is that Jerusalem will be divided in the end times and
this prophecy is irrevocable based on the fact that it will strengthening the fulfillment of the prophecy of Jesus
Christ in respect of Jerusalem, her
temple and Israel as a nation and to ensure that there shall be no more
bloody sacrifice at that same temple site in Jerusalem which he had concluded on the cross once and for
all.
Now the question is “what is the valley of decision? “ The
valley of decision is indeed a prophetic symbols used to denote the division of
Jerusalem after the decision had been reached between Israel and the whole
world to demarcate Jerusalem east and west between them and
Palestinian in order to allow peace reign in the middle east since Jerusalem
had become a burden stone to the whole world according to the prophecy of
prophet Zachariah chapter 12 and if not handle carefully, it might erupt into
world war three.
Taking from the experience
in World War 1 and 2, everybody is afraid of a major world war out brake especially
in this nuclear age. So nobody even the advanced nations do not want that and is
the same reason the United Nations peace keeping mission was formed to ensure that things do not get out of
hand.
Also you should bear in mind that those ancient prophets in Israel were victim of wars and in those
days nation conquer nations and kingdom conquers kingdoms unlike today ; so we have several kingdoms that had ruled as
world powers including the Roman kingdom being the last single kingdom that had
ruled using the dynasty of kings called “EMPEROS” . So all the visions of the ancient prophets
were full of wars and bloodshed due to the situation in their time. So it does not in all cases agree with our own
situation in as much as the United Nations is concern in this era of democracy.
So prophecy always give a
clue of what may likely occur in the future but does not fulfill all so exactly. That is why it is always very
difficult to interpret prophecy against the coming events accurately but you
can explained or interpret the fulfillment of past prophecies having great
similarities.
According to the ancient prophets, Jerusalem shall be divided amidst wars and
bloodshed and Israel will also scattered
among the nations of the world and Michael or King David or Messiah would go and
fight those countries and will restore Jerusalem and will gathered Israel back to their own land from all nations.
This prophecy had been
revoked based on the fact that the United Nations will not support such idea
where they will fold their hand and watch Israel being scattered again among
the nations of the world . Even America and her allied forces did not allow
Sadam Husain to occupy Kuwait’ that had occurred
in the ancient times in the time of the prophets and not in our time.
More so, no biblical Messiah would arise out
of Israel to build their temple to fulfill what Jesus the real Messiah had prophesied
against Jerusalem and Israel as nations in as much as he had made the last
sacrifice on the cross. Like as I have
earlier wrote, even Lucifer will not allow such temple to be erected
in order to defend the sacrifice of his master Jesus Christ who worked according to instructions like in the case of
Job (See chapter 1). So Satan did during the dead of King Ahab
showing fake visions to his prophets as a lying spirit (1 kings chapter 22) . Therefore in the book of Revelation
authority was given to him to test the saints for three and half years or forty
two months (See Revelation chapter 10 to 13)
Now the next question is
“AT WHAT PRICE”? Israel will be
willing to pay the great price for the division of Jerusalem in order for peace
to reign in the Middle East and the whole world. Not only Israel but the Arab nations as well
that were involved during the 1967 war must pay for the price for peace to
reign in the Middle East.
Therefore the peace process must be on balanced situation
and not Israel bearing the burden alone. Israel occupied those lands at the
price of their blood during the 1967 war; so it is too painful to release such
lands back to their enemies but Israel has
to pay for the price in order for peace
to reign in the middle east to fulfill what
Prophet Daniel predicted who wrote “ ..the land was divided for a price…” using
prophetic symbols similar to prophet Zechariah
and Joel (Daniel 11:39)
