Our aim has been to manifest from the Old Testament Scriptures that Israel has a
work to accomplish as they respond to the Arab uprising. That surge results from
Israel’s announcement of Yeshua as their Messiah. Make no mistake: this surge
will be a massive one with the intent of overpowering and ultimately destroying
Israel off the face of the land of Palestine. As we pointed out in Joel 1,2, chapter
2:2 speaks of a great people coming against Israel in the early morning hours.
Israel, do not be caught off guard.
To the leaders of Israel: we suggest immediate, but discreet contact with your
people so that they are fully aware. This awareness within Israel, unknown by
the Arabs (for they will not read this), partially disarms their campaign of
surprise. Furthermore, for your sake, blow two trumpets before you respond with
any counterattack. Jehovah is not asleep. He commands you to blow because it
is an expression that says, “Jehovah, we can not do this alone. Please help us.”
Humility is ALWAYS in order. Humble yourselves before the mighty hand of
Jehovah, and you shall be lifted up. In this instance, the lifting up is to victory.
You have some choices to make. Choose wisely. Wisdom says, “Bring Jehovah
and Yeshua into your immediate circumstances, as well as in all your affairs, for
They not only transcend any and all of your enemies, They are also the epitome
of wisdom.” Who can not benefit from more wisdom?
For sure, we have not covered all the texts of Old Testament prophecy regarding
this subject of your duties. The Rabbis and scholars should be of assistance here.
Utilize their expertise, but move quickly. Israel as a nation, as a whole, as one
people, must respond to this crisis, not just the military. Therefore, each and
every Israeli should be on their knees, with a repentant attitude, asking Jehovah
first for His forgiveness of your sins (individually and collectively), then for His
mercy, for His compassion upon His people, for wisdom, for counsel, for
deliverance, for victory. These seven points pouring forth from a repentant heart
are a must. Pray, but pray with faith, believing that the GOD of heaven can and
will hear, and that He will descend in response to your plea. Psa 18:6-8.
Trusting that you will heed these few words of counsel, we remain committed to
serving Jehovah and His people Israel, both natural and spiritual.

Psalms 2
Verse 1- “Why be the heathen tumultuous, and the people murmur in
vain?”
The heathen nations are tumultuous because of what Israel did to Damascus and
the Arabs within the boundaries of Israel. The people at large murmur in vain,
not understanding that this is God’s will that the land of Israel be purged of
aliens.
Verse 2- The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take
counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed,”
The kings of the earth, the nations set themselves against Israel, and the rulers,
those without boundaries of territory, thus the Second Beast and the Image of
the Beast take counsel together, against Jehovah, and against the anointed, the
trumpeters.
Verse 3- “Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords
from us.”
Tear off their restraint, throw out cords from us. The kings and the rulers want
no part of the hearing that God’s Day of Vengeance is in motion. Let’s throw
away that restraint, and continue as usual.
Verse 4- “He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them
in derision.”
Jehovah will indeed laugh at their foolishness, as He derides them.
Verse 5- “Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his
sore displeasure.”
At that time shall He speak to them in wrath, the time of the sounding of the
seventh trumpet, followed by the plagues which will certainly vex them because
of God’s displeasure.
Verse 6-”Yet have a set my king upon my holy hill Zion.”
I anoint a king, Yeshua, upon my holy hill Zion.
Verse 7- “I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art
my Son; this day have I begotten thee.”
Celebrate an enactment, Jehovah said unto me, You are my Son; today I bear
young.” Just as Hagar bore on Sarah’s behalf, so the Lord Jesus will give life to

the world on behalf of Jehovah. The day the Lord Jesus assumes control of
earth’s affairs, is the day that the process whereby mankind will have life begins.
First, is to remove the old order so that second, the new order can be
established.
Verse 8- “Ask of me, and I shall give the heathen thine inheritance, and
the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.”
Our Lord will ask, inquire, and God will give to him the Gentiles as his inheritance,
for Jesus bought them and the ends of the earth for possession. This occurs as a
result of the sounding of the seventh trumpet, Rev 11:15, “The kingdoms of this
world are become of our Lord, and of his Christ.”
Verse 9- “Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them
in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
This breaking into pieces occurs as a part of Rev 19:15.
Verse 10- “Be wise now, therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of
the earth.”
Well would it be for the kings and judges to take heed to the Divine message of
vengeance, but they will not. Were they to repentant, the outcome would be
different, better for them.
Verse 11- “Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.”
The admonition is to serve Jehovah as Supreme, and to rejoice with appropriate
fear, for all life is in the hands of God, to give, or to remove.
Verse 12- “Kiss the Son, lets he be angry, and ye perish from the way,
when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed all they that put their trust
in him.”
Embrace the Son, for without it the wrath of God must fall, and upon those it
falls, they perish. Blessed are all who flee for protection, which faith and trust
provide.

Psalm 91
The layout of Psalm 91 is a confirmation of some of our conclusions of Scripture.
Verse 3- “Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,”
The snare of the fowler is defined for us in Hosea 9:8 as a prophet, and in
particular anyone who is not speaking that which is correct regarding the last
days of the Gospel Age. We see this snare of a fowler as all attempts of those
who tenaciously hold to the “harvest message of the seventh messenger” to bind
their brethren with the beliefs that unless they also hold to those teachings, they
will never succeed in a place of the Bride. These same individuals, while they
scrutinize the past writings to obtain an understanding of current affairs, are
themselves blinded from seeing what the Scriptures tell us will happen.
“and from the pestilence,”
That pestilence is the current plague of Covid-19, the Coronavirus. In Scripture,
pestilence is most always sent forth from God for punishment of disobedience.
Generally, the pestilence is directed towards Israel, but in Jer 27:8 pestilence was
sent also among the Gentile nations. In 1 Ch 21:12, the pestilence was to be
administered by the angel of the Lord. However, angel can mean messenger,
whether of spirit nature, or of human flesh. The present Coronavirus was sent
forth by man, but we suspect that behind the scenes, it was sent forth by God, by
means of his messenger. Is there disobedience within Israel? Is there
disobedience within the Gentile nations?
We point out that circumcision was what God gave to Abraham as a sign or token
of the covenant between Him and Abraham, Gen 17. That covenant was codified
in the law of Moses, John 7:23. Therefore, every male who becomes circumcised,
whether or not they believe it has any significance relative to matters of the Law,
has entered into that covenant relationship, which then places them under the
constraint of keeping the Law of God.
Some may inquire, “How can that be?” Similarly, every male who has sexual
intercourse with a woman, whether harlot, maiden, or wife of another, has
become one with her, has entered into the marital arrangement with her, whether
they intended to or not. 1 Cor 6:16.
Therefore, because circumcision, as a token, is identified with the covenant of
Law, and the keeping of it, all circumcised males are bound under the Law of
Moses, and are to keep the Law’s requirements. Gal 5:3- “For I testify again to
every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole Law.” Unless
that individual has been released of that arrangement, by coming into Christ,
5
10
15
20
25
30
35
40
Rom 7:4; 10:4, they are obligated to keep the Law because they have been
placed under that Law by circumcision.
Now, are there any among the nations who are guiltless as regards the keeping of
the Law, among those who are circumcised? No, not one. Is not God then
justified to bring pestilence upon them, who have entered into a covenant with
Him by means of circumcision, because they have disobeyed? Yes, God is
justified.
Verse 4- He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt
thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.”
Those who are of the Little Flock will be covered by His feathers of protection;
and His truth regarding the prophetic scene at hand will be their shield and
buckler, defense against error.
“Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night:”
The terror here is in context with the arrow in the next verse. This terror is
caused by the Arab peoples within, around the land of Israel, and worldwide as
they react to Israel’s proclamation that Jesus is their Messiah. That same
proclamation also defines Jesus as the world’s Savior, which debunks Islam’s
claim of Allah as the great God. Naturally, the Arab’s will react with violence, the
only response that they know. This violence will be great and it will be directed
towards all Israelis wherever they are. Thus, the violence will be felt among all
nations, and terror will rise up within those that see and hear of the violence.
We expect this terrorizing to begin at the end of the Feast of Weeks, which ends
about sundown, approximately 6:00 P.M. on our calendar day, May 30th. “By
night” follows the portion of daylight. The Feast of Weeks date is calculated
based upon information in Feast of Weeks Calculated.
“nor for the arrow that flieth by day;”
As we have proclaimed in our dissertations, Israel will send forth one missile (a
modern day arrow, “the arrow”) with a nuclear warhead, or comparable, during
the morning, the daylight hours of June 4th, 2020, for the destruction of
Damascus. This response is in accord with God’s will, and timing, as outlined in
Scripture.
“nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness;”
This pestilence is not the Coronavirus, but another destructive plague. “Walks in
darkness,” can mean “to spread at dusk.” What we see here in the context are
two methods that God typically uses for punishment, sword and pestilence.
Famine is His third choice (Jer 14:12, as an example), but that takes a longer
45

55

90
time for accomplishment. The pestilence here may well be the after-waves of the
explosion as the radiation(?) spreads outward, even during dusk into the hours of
night. This pestilence will be deadly.
“nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.”
We had also pointed out that Israel would “drive out Ashdod at the noonday, and
Ekron shall be rooted up.” This is the prophetic announcement from Zephaniah
2:4. At the earliest, this may occur the next day after Damascus’ destruction as
part of God’s cleansing of foreigners out of Israel’s land of inheritance. We say
this on the testimony of verses 5,6. Verse 5- terror by night (May 30th), followed
by the arrow by day (June 4th). Verse 6- the pestilence (after the arrow flies on
June 4th) spreads at dusk, followed by “the destruction that wastes at noonday.”
Verse 7- “A thousand shall fall at thy side, and an abundance at thy right
hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.”
This verse shifts away from natural Israel and focuses upon spiritual Israel
because “thee” refers to God’s anointed, those who dwell in His secret place
during the Gospel Age.
From Rev 8:11, a “third part” one section or group of those that ran for the High
Calling prize, died “of” or on account of the waters because they would not
proclaim the truths then due regarding God’s Day of Vengeance at hand. These
entered into Second Death, the thousand. What was translated “ten thousand”
really means “abundance,” and such is the numbering of those who enter into the
Great Multitude, “which no man could number,” Rev 7:9.
Both of these classes begin to manifest themselves as a result of the sounding of
the third trumpet, but their conclusion is not reached until after the seventh
trumpet sounds on the 22nd of the seventh month after the Feast of Ingathering is
accomplished.

Isaiah 17
Isaiah 17:1,”The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away
from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.”
Research by a competent Brother in the Lord some years past revealed that the
city of Damascus has never been destroyed, unlike Jerusalem. Therefore, this
Scripture is prophetic and that destruction is still future.
Damascus is destroyed by the hand of Israel, and is instantly a ruinous heap.
Verse 2- “The cities of Aroer forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall
lie down, and none shall make them afraid.”
Aroer is in Israel’s territory as declared in Jos. 12:1,2; 13:7-9, and it is located on
the east side of the river Jordan, sitting on the bank of the river Arnon.
This is among the property that the tribes of Reuben, Gad and the half tribe of
Manasseh inherited while Moses yet lived. Here in this prophecy, the (suburb?)
cities of Aroer are forsaken of people and have become places for flocks to lie
down.
Verse 3- “The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim….” Fortress (H4013)
means a fortified city, but figuratively it means a defender. If it refers to a city,
which one? If it is figurative, in large measure the United States has been a
defender to Israel, if only in promise.
Verse 3 continues, “...and the kingdom from Damascus,” (which refers to the
central government of Syria, which is in Damascus.) “...and the remnant of
Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD
of hosts.” What is Israel’s glory at this time? It is not collectively in Jehovah,
but in themselves, their might, their accomplishments. Thus the glory of the
remnant of Syria will likewise be in themselves.
Verse 4- “And in that day (the same general time frame as that of the
destruction of Damascus) it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall
be made thin (their own self esteem about their abilities will be eroded), and
the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean (indicating scarcity of food). And it
shall be as when the harvestman gathers the corn, and reaps the ears
with his arm (when the harvest is gathered in the arm and not by large
machinery, the harvest quantity is very small): and it shall be as he that
gathers ears in the valley of Rephaim. Yet gleaning grapes shall be left
in it, as (similar to) the shaking of an olive tree: two or three berries in the
top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches
thereof, saith the LORD God of Israel.” (The gleanings were left by the
harvestmen for the stranger, the orphan, and the widow, Deut. 24:21. Similarity
is made to an olive tree under the same setting of gleaning wherein only a few
5
10
15
20
25
30
35
40
45
olives were left at the top and a few more on the outside branches. In both
illustrations, the fruit that remains is ripe, mature. The fruits of any nation are its
people. Jesus said, "I am the vine, ye are the branches." By extension then, the
vine (grape) and the tree (olive) represent the nation of Israel. Therefore, when
the text says, "Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it," and "two or three berries in
the top of the uppermost bough," we see this to mean a few mature leaders (the
top of the uppermost bough) are left along with several perripheral important
assistants (four or five in the fruitful branches). This does not mean, however,
that the peoples of Israel at large have been decimated. Rather, this illustration
relates instead to the next verses.
Verse 7- "At that day shall a man, (and one in utmost particularity!) look to
his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel." This
man is Benymin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of the nation of Israel, who will be
accompanied by a few associates, cabinet level, and lower assistants, all of whom
are mature, ripe as regards ability.
Verse 8- "And he (Netanyahu) shall not look to the altars, the work of his
hands (accomplishments), neither shall respect that which his fingers
(associates) have made, either the groves, or the images (indicative of idol
worship, made by the hands of men, often of a secular nature)."
Verse 9- In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an
uppermost branch which they left because of the children of Israel: and
there shall be desolation." Under Netanyahu's leadership, strong cities of their
own promised land, currently occupied by Gentiles, shall "be as a forsaken
bough..." which they, the peoples of those cities, "left because of the children of
Israel." Note clearly that this verse informs us who caused Damascus to cease to
be a city!! It also informs us who destroys the other cities as well.
In Jer. 49:23-27 we read, “Concerning Damascus: Hamath is confounded,
and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there
is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet. Damascus is waxed feeble, and
turns herself to flee, and fear has seized on her: anguish and sorrows
have taken her, as a woman in travail. (Damascus is waxed...as a woman in
travail” clearly tells us Israel will be kind enough to give advance warning to
Damascus of the launching of the “arrow that flies by day,” the missile with the
warhead.) How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy! Therefore
her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be
cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts. And I will kindle a fire in the
wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Ben-hadad.” Above
where it says, “how is the city of praise not left,” it did not say “ruined,” or
some other word that denotes partial destruction. “Not left” quite well means
“not there” or “gone,” as in nuclear destruction was the cause. Nuclear
destruction seems to apply also to the phrase, “all the men of war shall be cut
off in that day.”

Isa. 17:10 says they, the people of Israel as a whole, had forgotten the God of
their salvation. The balance of verse 10, and all of 11 speaks metaphorically of
Israel’s idolatry: though they plant and set out slips with an alien god, yet their
harvest will be empty, albeit in a day of grief and pain. (RSV) From somewhat
another perspective, has not Israel planted “pleasant plants,” edible food; and
have they not “set them with strange slips,” technological advances in science for
variety, shape, abundance, etc.; have they not reduced the time for growth and
harvest? However, all this has been done aside from their God, as though all this
had been their accomplishments alone, and consequently, though the harvest
may be a heap, it will surely be accompanied by a time of grief and desperate
sorrow.
Verse 12- “Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like
the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing
like the rushing of mighty waters!” Verse 13- “The nations shall rush like
the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall
flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the
wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.” Verse 14- “And
behold at eveningtide trouble; before the morning he is not. This is the
portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.”
Clearly these three verses describe the same scenario that is portrayed in Ezek.
38,39. Note the similarities: multitude of many people (Ezek 38: 9- “Thou
shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people
with thee.”) God shall rebuke them (Ezek. 38:21, “And I will call for a sword
against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord God.” Vs 22- “And I will
plead against him….” 39:1- “Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against thee,
O Gog….”) Them that spoil us (Ezek. 38:10,12- “...and thou shalt think an evil
thought...to take a spoil…,” which in measure, they will do, Zec 14:1,2.
It will be of interest to most to learn that in 2 Kgs, 14:28 Jeroboam recovered
Hamath and Damascus, to Judah, for Israel. One does not recover something
that was not theirs in the first place. Therefore, Damascus really belongs to
Israel, though it has been in the possession of Syria for a long time. Possession
by Syria means nothing, however, when according to God it belongs to His
people, Ezek. 47:13-18.

from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.”
Research by a competent Brother in the Lord some years past revealed that the
city of Damascus has never been destroyed, unlike Jerusalem. Therefore, this
Scripture is prophetic and that destruction is still future.
Damascus is destroyed by the hand of Israel, and is instantly a ruinous heap.
Verse 2- “The cities of Aroer forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall
lie down, and none shall make them afraid.”
Aroer is in Israel’s territory as declared in Jos. 12:1,2; 13:7-9, and it is located on
the east side of the river Jordan, sitting on the bank of the river Arnon.
This is among the property that the tribes of Reuben, Gad and the half tribe of
Manasseh inherited while Moses yet lived. Here in this prophecy, the (suburb?)
cities of Aroer are forsaken of people and have become places for flocks to lie
down.
Verse 3- “The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim….” Fortress (H4013)
means a fortified city, but figuratively it means a defender. If it refers to a city,
which one? If it is figurative, in large measure the United States has been a
defender to Israel, if only in promise.
Verse 3 continues, “...and the kingdom from Damascus,” (which refers to the
central government of Syria, which is in Damascus.) “...and the remnant of
Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD
of hosts.” What is Israel’s glory at this time? It is not collectively in Jehovah,
but in themselves, their might, their accomplishments. Thus the glory of the
remnant of Syria will likewise be in themselves.
Verse 4- “And in that day (the same general time frame as that of the
destruction of Damascus) it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall
be made thin (their own self esteem about their abilities will be eroded), and
the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean (indicating scarcity of food). And it
shall be as when the harvestman gathers the corn, and reaps the ears
with his arm (when the harvest is gathered in the arm and not by large
machinery, the harvest quantity is very small): and it shall be as he that
gathers ears in the valley of Rephaim. Yet gleaning grapes shall be left
in it, as (similar to) the shaking of an olive tree: two or three berries in the
top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches
thereof, saith the LORD God of Israel.” (The gleanings were left by the
harvestmen for the stranger, the orphan, and the widow, Deut. 24:21. Similarity
is made to an olive tree under the same setting of gleaning wherein only a few
5

olives were left at the top and a few more on the outside branches. In both
illustrations, the fruit that remains is ripe, mature. The fruits of any nation are its
people. Jesus said, "I am the vine, ye are the branches." By extension then, the
vine (grape) and the tree (olive) represent the nation of Israel. Therefore, when
the text says, "Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it," and "two or three berries in
the top of the uppermost bough," we see this to mean a few mature leaders (the
top of the uppermost bough) are left along with several perripheral important
assistants (four or five in the fruitful branches). This does not mean, however,
that the peoples of Israel at large have been decimated. Rather, this illustration
relates instead to the next verses.
Verse 7- "At that day shall a man, (and one in utmost particularity!) look to
his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel." This
man is Benymin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of the nation of Israel, who will be
accompanied by a few associates, cabinet level, and lower assistants, all of whom
are mature, ripe as regards ability.
Verse 8- "And he (Netanyahu) shall not look to the altars, the work of his
hands (accomplishments), neither shall respect that which his fingers
(associates) have made, either the groves, or the images (indicative of idol
worship, made by the hands of men, often of a secular nature)."
Verse 9- In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an
uppermost branch which they left because of the children of Israel: and
there shall be desolation." Under Netanyahu's leadership, strong cities of their
own promised land, currently occupied by Gentiles, shall "be as a forsaken
bough..." which they, the peoples of those cities, "left because of the children of
Israel." Note clearly that this verse informs us who caused Damascus to cease to
be a city!! It also informs us who destroys the other cities as well.
In Jer. 49:23-27 we read, “Concerning Damascus: Hamath is confounded,
and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there
is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet. Damascus is waxed feeble, and
turns herself to flee, and fear has seized on her: anguish and sorrows
have taken her, as a woman in travail. (Damascus is waxed...as a woman in
travail” clearly tells us Israel will be kind enough to give advance warning to
Damascus of the launching of the “arrow that flies by day,” the missile with the
warhead.) How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy! Therefore
her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be
cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts. And I will kindle a fire in the
wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Ben-hadad.” Above
where it says, “how is the city of praise not left,” it did not say “ruined,” or
some other word that denotes partial destruction. “Not left” quite well means
“not there” or “gone,” as in nuclear destruction was the cause. Nuclear
destruction seems to apply also to the phrase, “all the men of war shall be cut
off in that day.”

Isa. 17:10 says they, the people of Israel as a whole, had forgotten the God of
their salvation. The balance of verse 10, and all of 11 speaks metaphorically of
Israel’s idolatry: though they plant and set out slips with an alien god, yet their
harvest will be empty, albeit in a day of grief and pain. (RSV) From somewhat
another perspective, has not Israel planted “pleasant plants,” edible food; and
have they not “set them with strange slips,” technological advances in science for
variety, shape, abundance, etc.; have they not reduced the time for growth and
harvest? However, all this has been done aside from their God, as though all this
had been their accomplishments alone, and consequently, though the harvest
may be a heap, it will surely be accompanied by a time of grief and desperate
sorrow.
Verse 12- “Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like
the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing
like the rushing of mighty waters!” Verse 13- “The nations shall rush like
the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall
flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the
wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.” Verse 14- “And
behold at eveningtide trouble; before the morning he is not. This is the
portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.”
Clearly these three verses describe the same scenario that is portrayed in Ezek.
38,39. Note the similarities: multitude of many people (Ezek 38: 9- “Thou
shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people
with thee.”) God shall rebuke them (Ezek. 38:21, “And I will call for a sword
against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord God.” Vs 22- “And I will
plead against him….” 39:1- “Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against thee,
O Gog….”) Them that spoil us (Ezek. 38:10,12- “...and thou shalt think an evil
thought...to take a spoil…,” which in measure, they will do, Zec 14:1,2.
It will be of interest to most to learn that in 2 Kgs, 14:28 Jeroboam recovered
Hamath and Damascus, to Judah, for Israel. One does not recover something
that was not theirs in the first place. Therefore, Damascus really belongs to
Israel, though it has been in the possession of Syria for a long time. Possession
by Syria means nothing, however, when according to God it belongs to His
people, Ezek. 47:13-18.

Isaiah 27
Bring My People Home
“And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him
as before. And Jehovah said unto Jacob, return unto the land of thy fathers, and
to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.” Gen. 31:2,3.
Verse 1- “In that day (the day of His vengeance) the LORD with his sore and
great and strong sword (His Word of Truth) shall punish leviathan the
piercing serpent (representing Papacy), even leviathan that crooked
serpent; and he (Jehovah, through His agents) shall slay the dragon (Satan)
that is in (over, by means of influence) the sea (humanity).”
Verses 2-5- “In that day (the Day of His vengeance) sing ye (those who know)
unto her (Israel), A vineyard of red wine (Israel, Psa. 80:8-19) I Jehovah do
keep it; (Notice the protection of Jehovah over Israel during His Day of
Vengeance upon the nations!) I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it,
I will keep it night and day. Is fury not in me? (Just look around you as I
stretch forth my hand in vengeance upon the nations!) Who would set the
briars and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I
would burn them together. Or, let him take hold of my strength (the
Messiah, who is His right arm), that he may make peace with me; and he
(that takes hold of Messiah) shall make peace with me.” “...No man cometh
unto the Father but by me (Yeshua),” John 14:6.
Verse 6- “He (Jehovah) shall cause them that come of Jacob (from lands
outside of Israel) to take root: (Those of the peoples of Israel that return to the
land of their heritage shall be rooted, established, have places to live, food to eat,
etc.) Israel shall blossom and bud, (evidences of life that promise a yield) and
fill the face of the world with fruit (under the New Covenant that God will
make with them, Jer. 31:31-34).”
Verses 7-8- Hath Jehovah smitten Israel (as hard), as Jehovah smote those that
smote Israel? Is Israel slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by
Jehovah? In measure. When it shoots forth (becomes manifest), Israel will
debate it (among themselves): Jehovah stayed His rough wind (upon us) in the
day of the east wind (a destroying wind, upon others).
Verse 9- “By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this
is all the fruit to take away his sin;
Cleansing of sin can never be accomplished by the blood of bulls and goats [Heb,
10:4], but only by the shed blood of Yeshua, Jesus, who, “by his own blood
entered in once into the holy place [heaven itself as represented by the most holy
compartment of the tabernacle structure, wherein stood the ark of the covenant],

having obtained eternal redemption [for all], Heb. 9:12. This was represented in
Lev. 16 by the blood of the bullock of the sin offering being taken into the most
holy compartment where it was sprinkled upon [vertical motion] and before
[horizontal motion] the mercy seat, representing the satisfaction of sin unto
Divine justice. The sprinkling method formed a cross which forecast the method
whereby this satisfaction for sin would be accomplished.
Because Yeshua entered into heaven itself with his blood, not literally, but with its
value, representing life rights of a perfect man whose death was not forfeited, but
willingly offered for atonement, Yeshua became the qualified mediator for the
New Covenant. See Heb. 9:11-15. That New Covenant is the very same that is
spoken of in Jer. 31:31-34, wherein we read, “Behold, the days come, saith the
LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the
house of Judah: not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in
the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt...but this
shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days
[of vengeance], saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write
it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they
shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying,
Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the
greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity [based upon the
shed blood of Yeshua], and I will remember their sin no more.” The Apostle Paul,
a Pharisee of Pharisees, wrote this: “And so all Israel shall be saved [from their
sins]: as it is written, ‘There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn
away ungodliness from Jacob:’ for this is my covenant unto them, [notice how the
Apostle condenses the whole essence of Jer. 31:33,34 into a single phrase] when
I shall take away their sins.”
The expression above, “and this is all the fruit to take away his sin,” conveys also
the thought of harvest from the field, “fruit,” and it is only the first fruits that are
competent to “take away sin.” These firstfruits are spoken of in Lev. 23
regarding the Feast of Weeks, which treatise we encourage you to consider.
These firstfruits are Yeshua (Jesus) and His Body members, known also as the
Bride. These and these alone have been qualified by their participation in the sin
offering of Lev. 16, represented by the bullock and the Lord’s goat, respectively,
to be the composite Christ, which means “anointed.” It is The Christ composite
that will mediate the New Covenant with Israel after these days of vengeance are
complete.
when he (Israel) makes all the stones of the altar (of his heart) as
chalkstones that are beaten in sunder (hardness of his heart removed), (and
when) the groves and images (of whatever idol they may be) shall not stand
up (having been destroyed, Jud. 6:25-32).”
It will be necessary for all who desire reconciliation with Jehovah to not only
“hearken unto that Prophet,” Deu 18:18,19, but to also co-operate with Him by

removing the idols and images that each have erected in their hearts and lives.
These idols have a wide variety of manifestation: possessions, careers, family,
positions amongst men, over inflated self esteem, etc. They all have to be
removed, destroyed.
Verse 10- “Yet the defensed city shall be desolate, and the habitation
forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there
shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.”
“Yet,” (meaning, verse 9, the New Covenant, can not occur until after) “the
defensed city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a
wilderness.” Referring to Strong’s Concordance, the following definitions are
presented: defensed (H1219- isolated); desolate (H910- separate, alone);
habitation (H5116- lovely); forsaken (H7971- to send away, cast out); left
(H5800- to loosen, forsake); wilderness (H4057- desert). From these we
suggest: “Yet the isolated city, separate, the lovely cast out and forsaken like a
desert.”
Verse 10- “Yet the isolated city (Jerusalem, representing all of Israel) is separate,
the lovely cast out, and forsaken like a desert: then shall the young bullock (calf,
Israel, Num. 15:24; Lev. 4:13,14) feed in pasture, and then shall he repose, and
consume the branches.” (“I am the vine, ye are the branches,” John 15:5.
“Search the Scriptures...and they are they which testify of me,” John 5:39.
Consuming the branches means to pursue the Scriptures with diligence! Notice
that this pursuit is after they are isolated from the world community, and after
they are broken-hearted, and not before. What isolates them from the world
community? We believe it is Isa. 17. Please see treatise entitled, Isaiah 17.)
Verse 11- “When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken
off: the women come, and set them on fire; for it is a people of no
understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on
them, and he that formed them will show them no favor.”
Using the same method as above, with the same authority, boughs (H7105-
severed); withered (H3001- ashamed, confused); broken off (H7665- to burst,
break, broken); women (H802- a woman); fire (H215- to be, make luminous).
Verse 11- “When the severed thereof are confused, disappointed, (because of two
reasons: 1) they can not understand the events around them; 2) they can not
understand what they are reading from the Scriptures while trying to make sense
of what is going on around them) they shall be broken-hearted: (then) women (if
plural, or woman, if singular) come and make luminous (the Scriptures, which
gives understanding of current events) because it is a people not understanding
(either).” Note that this is a very close parallel to Acts 8:26-35, wherein we
excerpt, “And Phillip ran thither to (the eunuch), and heard him read the prophet
Isaiah, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said, How can I,
95

105
110

except some man should guide me?” Are we not also in the book of Isaiah right
now? “Therefore, (showing that what follows is intimately tied with what
preceded) he that made them (father, begettal) will not have mercy on them
(forsake), and (s)he that formed them (mother, in the womb) will show them no
favor (forsake).” This is another parallel, from Psa. 27:10, “When my father and
my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.” And Jehovah will take
them up, by sending “women” unto them. What women? These “women” have
understanding of the prophetic scene, what is going to occur and when. These
“women” are of the Church, which Church in symbolism is a woman, because she
becomes the Bride of Christ. The “women” that bring understanding are actually
men in flesh, but who are of the Bride class. (Note: if women in this text is
correct as to plurality, then seven men will be instrumental in aiding Israel in
their understanding. If women is actually singular, then one man will aid them.
Either way, these men or that man will come from those who have been sealed as
members of the Body of Christ, Rev 7:3 and are the seven identified in Rev 8:2.)
Verse 12- “And it shall come to pass in that day (still the Day of God’s
Vengeance), that Jehovah shall beat off (H2251- thresh) from (H4480-out of)
the channel (H7641- a branch) of the river (H5104- sea) unto the stream
(river, Num. 34:5) of Egypt, (Translated: “And it shall come to pass in that day,
that Jehovah shall thresh out of a branch of the sea unto the river of Egypt,) and
ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.”
O, ye children of Israel, do you understand what this text says? It is this,
Jehovah will cause hardship to come upon those of North, Central and South
America (which are geographically connected together as a branch [part] of the
sea [of humanity]), unto (which includes all of Europe) the river of Egypt, and ye
shall be gathered one by one back to Israel! How much better to return to Israel
when conditions are more favorable than to wait until the threshing rod comes
upon you! Come ye, return!
We intrude here the prophet Micah’s testimony in 5:3, “Therefore will he (the
Messiah) give them (Israel) up, until the time that she (Sarah, not literally, but
the covenant which she represents, Gal. 4:21-31, which produces the spiritual
seed of Christ, and here in particular the Body members which is the true Church,
the Bride of Christ) which travaileth hath brought forth (finished, sealed,
complete as to the predetermined number of that seed, and when that final
sealing has occurred): then the remnant of his (Messiah’s) brethren (of natural
Israel) shall return unto the children of Israel (in the land promised to them by
Jehovah).” Simplified: Therefore shall Messiah give Israel up to blindness (Rom
11:25) as to who is their Messiah, until the time that the Sarah covenant, which
brings forth the spiritual seed of Abraham, seals the last members of the Body of
the Anointed: then the remnant of Messiah’s brethren of natural Israel shall
return unto the children of Israel already in the land of promise.

Verse 13 first part, has a dual application. “And it shall come to pass in that
day, the great trumpet shall be blown...” For explanation of this perspective,
please see treatise entitled, Feast of Weeks.
Verse 13- “And it shall come to pass in that day (the Millennial Kingdom after
the Day of Vengeance is over), the great trumpet (of Jehovah’s truth) shall be
blown (Isa. 2:3), and they shall come (to the land of Israel) which were
ready to perish (those who became “Christians” in name only who were ready
to perish in the “Rapture of the Church” which did not occur) in the land of
Assyria (false Christianity), and the outcasts (Israeli people, Jer. 30:17) in the
land of Egypt (the Gentile world at large), and shall worship the LORD in the
holy mount at Jerusalem.”
To all of Israel everywhere throughout the whole earth, we solemnly declare to
you, it is time for you to return unto the land of your fathers, to the promised
land that Jehovah, your God, gave to your fathers Abraham, Isaac and to Jacob,
the land of ISRAEL! Come ye, RETURN!

when) the groves and images (of whatever idol they may be) shall not stand
up (having been destroyed, Jud. 6:25-32).”
It will be necessary for all who desire reconciliation with Jehovah to not only
“hearken unto that Prophet,” Deu 18:18,19, but to also co-operate with Him by

removing the idols and images that each have erected in their hearts and lives.
These idols have a wide variety of manifestation: possessions, careers, family,
positions amongst men, over inflated self esteem, etc. They all have to be
removed, destroyed.
Verse 10- “Yet the defensed city shall be desolate, and the habitation
forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there
shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.”
“Yet,” (meaning, verse 9, the New Covenant, can not occur until after) “the
defensed city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a
wilderness.” Referring to Strong’s Concordance, the following definitions are
presented: defensed (H1219- isolated); desolate (H910- separate, alone);
habitation (H5116- lovely); forsaken (H7971- to send away, cast out); left
(H5800- to loosen, forsake); wilderness (H4057- desert). From these we
suggest: “Yet the isolated city, separate, the lovely cast out and forsaken like a
desert.”
Verse 10- “Yet the isolated city (Jerusalem, representing all of Israel) is separate,
the lovely cast out, and forsaken like a desert: then shall the young bullock (calf,
Israel, Num. 15:24; Lev. 4:13,14) feed in pasture, and then shall he repose, and
consume the branches.” (“I am the vine, ye are the branches,” John 15:5.
“Search the Scriptures...and they are they which testify of me,” John 5:39.
Consuming the branches means to pursue the Scriptures with diligence! Notice
that this pursuit is after they are isolated from the world community, and after
they are broken-hearted, and not before. What isolates them from the world
community? We believe it is Isa. 17. Please see treatise entitled, Isaiah 17.)
Verse 11- “When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken
off: the women come, and set them on fire; for it is a people of no
understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on
them, and he that formed them will show them no favor.”
Using the same method as above, with the same authority, boughs (H7105-
severed); withered (H3001- ashamed, confused); broken off (H7665- to burst,
break, broken); women (H802- a woman); fire (H215- to be, make luminous).
Verse 11- “When the severed thereof are confused, disappointed, (because of two
reasons: 1) they can not understand the events around them; 2) they can not
understand what they are reading from the Scriptures while trying to make sense
of what is going on around them) they shall be broken-hearted: (then) women (if
plural, or woman, if singular) come and make luminous (the Scriptures, which
gives understanding of current events) because it is a people not understanding
(either).” Note that this is a very close parallel to Acts 8:26-35, wherein we
excerpt, “And Phillip ran thither to (the eunuch), and heard him read the prophet
Isaiah, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said, How can I,
95
100
105
110
115
120
125

135
except some man should guide me?” Are we not also in the book of Isaiah right
now? “Therefore, (showing that what follows is intimately tied with what
preceded) he that made them (father, begettal) will not have mercy on them
(forsake), and (s)he that formed them (mother, in the womb) will show them no
favor (forsake).” This is another parallel, from Psa. 27:10, “When my father and
my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.” And Jehovah will take
them up, by sending “women” unto them. What women? These “women” have
understanding of the prophetic scene, what is going to occur and when. These
“women” are of the Church, which Church in symbolism is a woman, because she
becomes the Bride of Christ. The “women” that bring understanding are actually
men in flesh, but who are of the Bride class. (Note: if women in this text is
correct as to plurality, then seven men will be instrumental in aiding Israel in
their understanding. If women is actually singular, then one man will aid them.
Either way, these men or that man will come from those who have been sealed as
members of the Body of Christ, Rev 7:3 and are the seven identified in Rev 8:2.)
Verse 12- “And it shall come to pass in that day (still the Day of God’s
Vengeance), that Jehovah shall beat off (H2251- thresh) from (H4480-out of)
the channel (H7641- a branch) of the river (H5104- sea) unto the stream
(river, Num. 34:5) of Egypt, (Translated: “And it shall come to pass in that day,
that Jehovah shall thresh out of a branch of the sea unto the river of Egypt,) and
ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.”
O, ye children of Israel, do you understand what this text says? It is this,
Jehovah will cause hardship to come upon those of North, Central and South
America (which are geographically connected together as a branch [part] of the
sea [of humanity]), unto (which includes all of Europe) the river of Egypt, and ye
shall be gathered one by one back to Israel! How much better to return to Israel
when conditions are more favorable than to wait until the threshing rod comes
upon you! Come ye, return!
We intrude here the prophet Micah’s testimony in 5:3, “Therefore will he (the
Messiah) give them (Israel) up, until the time that she (Sarah, not literally, but
the covenant which she represents, Gal. 4:21-31, which produces the spiritual
seed of Christ, and here in particular the Body members which is the true Church,
the Bride of Christ) which travaileth hath brought forth (finished, sealed,
complete as to the predetermined number of that seed, and when that final
sealing has occurred): then the remnant of his (Messiah’s) brethren (of natural
Israel) shall return unto the children of Israel (in the land promised to them by
Jehovah).” Simplified: Therefore shall Messiah give Israel up to blindness (Rom
11:25) as to who is their Messiah, until the time that the Sarah covenant, which
brings forth the spiritual seed of Abraham, seals the last members of the Body of
the Anointed: then the remnant of Messiah’s brethren of natural Israel shall
return unto the children of Israel already in the land of promise.

Verse 13 first part, has a dual application. “And it shall come to pass in that
day, the great trumpet shall be blown...” For explanation of this perspective,
please see treatise entitled, Feast of Weeks.
Verse 13- “And it shall come to pass in that day (the Millennial Kingdom after
the Day of Vengeance is over), the great trumpet (of Jehovah’s truth) shall be
blown (Isa. 2:3), and they shall come (to the land of Israel) which were
ready to perish (those who became “Christians” in name only who were ready
to perish in the “Rapture of the Church” which did not occur) in the land of
Assyria (false Christianity), and the outcasts (Israeli people, Jer. 30:17) in the
land of Egypt (the Gentile world at large), and shall worship the LORD in the
holy mount at Jerusalem.”
To all of Israel everywhere throughout the whole earth, we solemnly declare to
you, it is time for you to return unto the land of your fathers, to the promised
land that Jehovah, your God, gave to your fathers Abraham, Isaac and to Jacob,
the land of ISRAEL! Come ye, RETURN!

Isaiah 30
Verse 1- “rebellious children”-natural Israel.
Verses 1-7- These verses speak of Israel’s reliance upon Egypt, which represents
worldly wisdom. As the leaders of Israel rely upon Gentile nations for direction,
support, to that extent they “trust in the shadow of Egypt.”
Verse 8- “that it may be for the time to come...” future years, inclusive of our
day, and beyond.
Verses 9-14- Israel’s waywardness resulted in punishments.
Verses 15,16- Israel could have had safety in Jehovah, had they returned and
rested in Him, but they chose instead to do things their own way.
Verse 17- “till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a hill,” would point to
Masada.
Verse 18- God declares His long patience, centuries of time in length.
Verse 19- “For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt
weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry;
when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.” The people of Israel shall sit
down (dwell) at the Feast of Weeks (in Zion) and shall weep no more (Joel 1:14
says Israel will cry at the Feast of Unleavened Bread). God will be gracious unto
those in Israel who cried, for when he hears it, (their cry having ascended up to
heaven as a manifestation of the ripeness of their distress) Jehovah will answer
thee, by means of the message of the trumpet sounding on the morning of the
Feast of Weeks.
Verse 20- “And the Lord give you the bread of adversity...” refers to adverse
events forthcoming, whereas, “yet shall not thy teachers...” the words of the
Torah and the prophets be discarded any longer, “but thine eyes (of
understanding) shall see thy teachers;” (seeing literal what the Old Testament
said relative to the situation at hand.)
Verse 21- “And thine ears shall hear a word behind (H4480- from or out of)
thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right
hand, and when ye turn to the left. This word of instruction shall come from
one of them, a priest of the house of Aaron who is also of the spiritual house of
Israel. From the perspective of Jehovah’s habitation being in the north, when
Israel turns to the right and to the left, they see Arabs on both sides of them,
east and west, Arabs that are in Israel’s land. Thus, Israel is instructed out of the
5

45
Old Testament regarding what to do for those on both the right and left hand of
them.
Verse 22- Natural Israel will cast out her idols because of their renewed faith in
Jehovah and is Word.
Verses 23,24 speak of the blessings natural Israel will thereafter receive, just as
in Joel 2:18-27.
Verse 25- “And there shall be upon (in) every high mountain (representing
spiritual leadership), and upon (in) every high hill (less prominent
government), rivers and streams of waters (rivers and streams of waters
usually represent doctrines of truth, however, in this instance, the rivers and
streams of waters are not clean, but are brackish in nature, for the prevailing
doctrines of both religious leadership and of civil government is contrary to what
God has for Israel, both in function to perform and in ownership of the land
wherein Israel now resides) in the day of the great slaughter, when the
towers fall.” The towers are the same ones that are spoken of in Zep 1:16-2:4,
the chieftains of Damascus, Ashkelon, Ashdod, and Ekron, when they fall due to
the cleansing of the land by Israel.
Verse 26- “Moreover, the light of the moon (the understanding of the relative
Old Testament prophecies) shall be as the light of the sun (made bright,
clear), and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold (the light of truth regarding
the Gospel message, especially that of the Book of Revelation, in relationship to
the closing features of the Gospel Age, shall be seven times told, by the seven
trumpet soundings of Rev 8, each trumpet having a distinct message to give.) as
the light (truth) of seven days (each of the seven trumpets sounds on a
particular day, seven different days in total) in the day that the LORD bindeth
up the breach of His people (The breach here is the lack of Israel’s
understanding of who their Messiah is, which breach is bridged, bound up, by the
sounding of the trumpet of Mat 24:31), and healeth the stroke of their wound
(the wound is major compared to what Israel went through before the Feast of
Weeks by the Arab missile attacks. “The stroke of their wound” is the response of
the Arab peoples and nations against Israel because Israel’s declaration of who is
Messiah, set aside, overtopped, Allah. The only response the Arabs know is
violence, which means they do not know much, if anything, about proper human
behavior.
Verses 27,28- “Behold, the name (H8034- authority) of the LORD (Jehovah)
comes from far (heaven), burning with His anger, and the burden heavy:
His lips are full of indignation, and His tongue as a devouring fire (which
speaks of His Day of Vengeance): and His breath (H7307-anger), as an
overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the
nations with a sieve of vanity (“all is vanity,” Ecc. 1:2): and there shall be a
bridle (of self will) in (on) the jaws of the people, causing them to err.”

Verse 29- “Ye (Israel) shall have a song (H7892- singing) as in the night
when a holy solemnity (Feast of Weeks) is kept; and gladness of heart
(during the following hours of the same day. A gladness of heart because of the
proclamation of Yeshua as their Messiah), as when one goes with a pipe
(H2485- flute) to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the Mighty One
of Israel.”
Verse 30- “And the LORD shall cause His glorious voice (of truth, by means
of the sounding of the trumpet of Mat 24:31) to be heard (in Israel and
elsewhere), and shall show the lighting down (H5183- punishment) of His
arm (Isa 40:10, Yeshua, John 12:36-38), with the indignation of His anger,
and with the flame of a devouring fire, scattering, and tempest, and
hailstones (acts rendered during God’s Day of Vengeance).”
Verse 31- “For through the voice of the LORD (from His written Word, Zeph
1:14, sounded as the trumpet of Mat 24:31 on the day of Feast of Weeks, 2020)
shall the Assyrian (the religious leader, known to the Arabs as Allah) be
beaten down (H2865- to prostrate) smote (H5221-to strike, smitten) with a
rod (H7626- literally a stick, for multiple purposes; discipline).” The declaration
of Yeshua as the Messiah of Israel is also the declaration that Yeshua is the
Messiah of the entire world. Thus, Allah, the chief religious leader, God, of the
Arab peoples is smitten down.
Verse 32- “And every place (H3605- the whole, hence all, any, every)
(everyone) where (whom) the grounded (H4145- a foundation) staff (H4294-
rod; of authority- Exo. 7:17) shall pass (H4569- a crossing, a transit,
overwhelming), which the Lord shall lay (H5117- rest, place) upon him, shall
be with tabrets (tambourines) and harps (indicative of rejoicing): and in
battles (H4421- engagement) of shaking (H8573- tumult) will he fight
(H3898- consume) with it.” (Translation: “And everyone, everywhere, whom
the foundation authority (Yeshua is Messiah) overwhelms, which the LORD shall
place upon Allah, shall be (either) with rejoicing (because of the news that
Yeshua is the Messiah), or with engagement of tumults will he (be) consumed
(the Arabs will react with violence against Israel because Allah has been
overtopped by Yeshua).
Verse 33- “For Tophet (H8613- a place of cremation; Second Death) ordained
of old; yea, for the king (Satan) it is prepared; he (Jehovah) hath made it
deep (an abyss) and large (enough for all, for whom it is for): the pile thereof
fire (destruction) and much wood (to burn everlastingly); the breath of the
LORD (His Word), like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.”

Jeremiah 30
“Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words
that I have spoken unto thee in a book. For, lo, the days come, saith the
LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah,
saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to
their fathers, and they shall possess it,” verses 2,3. This return began with
the assembly of the Berlin Congress of Nations of 1878, out of which came the
Berlin Treaty of 1878, whereby Hebrew people could begin to own land in
Palestine. The Zionist movement led by Theodor Herzl, followed in the 1890’s,
one of the fishers of Jer. 16:16. The Balfour Declaration of 1917 committed the
British government to the creation of a Jewish (Hebrew) homeland in Palestine.
The Treaty of Versailles of 1919 placed England as the protectorate over the land
of Palestine, which ultimately helped pave the way for the Hebrew state of Israel
to come into existence in 1948.
”And these the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and
concerning Judah. For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of
trembling, of fear, and not of peace. Ask ye now, and see whether a man
doth travail with child? Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on
his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of
Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.” These words spoke of a
great trouble that the Hebrew people would experience, one that followed their
beginning of the possession of the land in our present era, land that was
promised to their fathers. What is this trouble? It is none other than what is now
called “The Holocaust.” Yes, this was Jacob’s trouble; “but he shall be saved
out of it,” and they have.
“For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, I will
break his (Hitler’s Germany) yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy (the
Hebrew peoples’) bonds, and strangers (the Gentile nations around) shall no
more serve themselves of him (Jacob): but they (the Hebrew people) shall
serve the LORD their God (some have been since the Holocaust), and David
their king, whom I will (note the future tense) raise up unto them. (They
will serve David, who represents their Messiah, but only after they know who He,
their Messiah, is.) “Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the
LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel (which continued fear and dismay could
easily have happened after the terrible trauma of the Holocaust): for, lo, I will
save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity (and just
such have we seen as the Hebrew people from around the world, in the lands of
their captivity, have returned to their homeland since then. This also was
foretold by Jeremiah in 16:14,15- “Therefore, behold the days come, saith the
LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children
of Israel out of the land of Egypt; but, The LORD liveth, that brought up the
children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he

had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their
fathers.” Note also that after this declaration, mention was made of fishers [Herzl
was one], and of hunters [Hitler was a chief one]. Both of these activities either
lured or drove the Hebrew people to their homeland. Jer. 16:16,17); and Jacob
shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make
afraid. For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee.”
At this point in the Scripture declaration, God introduces His intent upon the
nations wherein they had been scattered. We read, “though I make a full end
of all the nations wither I have scattered thee….” (As we look about, we
clearly see that this statement of the nations coming to an end has not yet been
accomplished as of February, 2018. However, it will be.) “...yet will I not
make a full end of thee (signaling that they would experience a measure of
destruction that would make an end of part of them, likely the disbelievers. See
Lule 19:27); but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee
altogether unpunished.”
“For (pointing backwards, because of something prior) thus saith the LORD,
Thy bruise is incurable (by your efforts), thy wound (from the Gentiles)
grievous. There is none to plead they cause (before Jehovah), that thou
mayest be bound up (bandaged for healing to occur): thou hast no healing
medicines (in your own possession that will work). All thy lovers (the nations
in close affiliation with her) have forgotten thee; they seek thee not (as
regards your welfare); for I (Jehovah) have (past tense) wounded thee with
the wound of an enemy (Hitler hated the Hebrew people), with the
chastisement of a cruel one (Hitler was especially cruel to them as a people by
means of the Concentration Camps), for the multitude of thine iniquity;
because they sins were increased. Why criest thou for thine affliction?
thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy
sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.” (By the time
the Six Day War of ‘67 was over, there were those in Israel who believed their
victory was by their own doing. This viewpoint of self exaltation had not
developed overnight, but had been building through the decades since Petah
Tikvah in 1878 A.D. After they returned into the land and prospered; just as in
the days of old after Israel came into the promised land under Joshua’s leadership
and soon forgot their God and the blessings that He had brought to them; so
likewise here. Pride is an abomination to Jehovah, Pro. 6:16,17).
“Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine
adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity (From a past tense
perspective, Hitler’s Third Reich went into oblivion, and as the years passed after
the Holocaust, Israel hunted out the men that were involved in the work of
extermination of the Hebrew people under Hitler; many of whom, if not all, have
since been prosecuted. From a future tense perspective, Hamas and the
Palestinians will be punished); and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, (Gog,
Eze 38, will also come against Israel and will also be destroyed) and all that

prey upon thee will I give for a prey. For I will restore health unto thee,
and I will heal thee of thy wounds, (possible only by the work of their Messiah
during the Millennial Kingdom, under the New Covenant) saith the LORD;
because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man
seeketh after.”
“Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again (since the Holocaust) the
captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwelling places; and the
city shall be builded upon her own heap (Jerusalem), and the palace shall
remain after the manner thereof. And out of them shall proceed
thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply
them (Israel’s population is growing), and they shall not be few; I will also
glorify (honor) them, and they shall not be small.” (Who among the
inhabitants of earth can boast of the inventions that Israel can boast of? Israel
has indeed been honored as a leader in world technology. Subsequently they are
not small at all in that arena.) “Their children also shall be as aforetime,
and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish
all that oppress them. And their nobles (governing leaders as cabinet
members, etc.) shall be of themselves, and their governor (Prime Minister)
shall proceed from the midst of them; and I (Jehovah) will cause him to
draw near (to Me), and he shall approach unto Me (Jehovah):” (This
“governor” clearly speaks of Benyamin Netanyahu, the present Prime Minister of
Israel, who was of the midst of the “nobles” and further, who draws high to
Jehovah. When Netanyahu has a Bible study in his office, it is not for show.)
“...for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the
LORD. And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.”
Note now the change of scene.
“Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing
whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. The
whirlwind, four winds coming together, Rev 7:1-3, has already begun in small
measure (Covid-19, severe drought in Africa), because the sealing of “the
servants of our God” into the Body of Christ has been accomplished as of March
31, 2018, which was the day of Passover. That whirlwind intensifies in
conjunction with the Feast of Weeks, 2020, and continues in duration. It further
increases in strength after the seven trumpets of Rev 8 are sounded, which is
followed by seven plagues, punishment, that follows the trumpet messages,
because few will heed the messages. The whirlwind is a descriptive term of God’s
Day of Vengeance.
“The fierce anger (based upon righteousness) of the LORD shall not return
(“My Word … shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I
please, and it shall prosper whereto I sent it.” Isa 55:11), until he have done,
and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye
shall consider it (and so we have!).”

that I have spoken unto thee in a book. For, lo, the days come, saith the
LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah,
saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to
their fathers, and they shall possess it,” verses 2,3. This return began with
the assembly of the Berlin Congress of Nations of 1878, out of which came the
Berlin Treaty of 1878, whereby Hebrew people could begin to own land in
Palestine. The Zionist movement led by Theodor Herzl, followed in the 1890’s,
one of the fishers of Jer. 16:16. The Balfour Declaration of 1917 committed the
British government to the creation of a Jewish (Hebrew) homeland in Palestine.
The Treaty of Versailles of 1919 placed England as the protectorate over the land
of Palestine, which ultimately helped pave the way for the Hebrew state of Israel
to come into existence in 1948.
”And these the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and
concerning Judah. For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of
trembling, of fear, and not of peace. Ask ye now, and see whether a man
doth travail with child? Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on
his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of
Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.” These words spoke of a
great trouble that the Hebrew people would experience, one that followed their
beginning of the possession of the land in our present era, land that was
promised to their fathers. What is this trouble? It is none other than what is now
called “The Holocaust.” Yes, this was Jacob’s trouble; “but he shall be saved
out of it,” and they have.
“For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, I will
break his (Hitler’s Germany) yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy (the
Hebrew peoples’) bonds, and strangers (the Gentile nations around) shall no
more serve themselves of him (Jacob): but they (the Hebrew people) shall
serve the LORD their God (some have been since the Holocaust), and David
their king, whom I will (note the future tense) raise up unto them. (They
will serve David, who represents their Messiah, but only after they know who He,
their Messiah, is.) “Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the
LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel (which continued fear and dismay could
easily have happened after the terrible trauma of the Holocaust): for, lo, I will
save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity (and just
such have we seen as the Hebrew people from around the world, in the lands of
their captivity, have returned to their homeland since then. This also was
foretold by Jeremiah in 16:14,15- “Therefore, behold the days come, saith the
LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children
of Israel out of the land of Egypt; but, The LORD liveth, that brought up the
children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he

had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their
fathers.” Note also that after this declaration, mention was made of fishers [Herzl
was one], and of hunters [Hitler was a chief one]. Both of these activities either
lured or drove the Hebrew people to their homeland. Jer. 16:16,17); and Jacob
shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make
afraid. For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee.”
At this point in the Scripture declaration, God introduces His intent upon the
nations wherein they had been scattered. We read, “though I make a full end
of all the nations wither I have scattered thee….” (As we look about, we
clearly see that this statement of the nations coming to an end has not yet been
accomplished as of February, 2018. However, it will be.) “...yet will I not
make a full end of thee (signaling that they would experience a measure of
destruction that would make an end of part of them, likely the disbelievers. See
Lule 19:27); but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee
altogether unpunished.”
“For (pointing backwards, because of something prior) thus saith the LORD,
Thy bruise is incurable (by your efforts), thy wound (from the Gentiles)
grievous. There is none to plead they cause (before Jehovah), that thou
mayest be bound up (bandaged for healing to occur): thou hast no healing
medicines (in your own possession that will work). All thy lovers (the nations
in close affiliation with her) have forgotten thee; they seek thee not (as
regards your welfare); for I (Jehovah) have (past tense) wounded thee with
the wound of an enemy (Hitler hated the Hebrew people), with the
chastisement of a cruel one (Hitler was especially cruel to them as a people by
means of the Concentration Camps), for the multitude of thine iniquity;
because they sins were increased. Why criest thou for thine affliction?
thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy
sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.” (By the time
the Six Day War of ‘67 was over, there were those in Israel who believed their

The Assyrian
Isaiah 19
Verse 16- “In that day shall Egypt (the world of mankind) be like unto
women (in pain because of labor, Isa. 13:8): and it (they) shall be afraid and
fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts (“Yet once
more I shake not the earth [society] only, but also heaven [religious arrangement
here on earth],” Heb. 12:26.), which he shaketh over it.”
Verse 17- “And the land of Judah (Israel) shall be a terror (because Israel
destroyed Damascus, etc.) unto Egypt (the world of mankind, nations included),
every one that makes mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because
of the counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it
(Egypt, the world. “Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel both with wrath
and anger, to lay the land desolate: and He shall destroy the sinners out of it.”
“And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I
will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of
the terrible.” Isa. 13:9,11).”
Verse 18- “In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the
language of Canaan (five Gentile entities shall endorse the cause of the natives
of the land of Canaan which is, this land is theirs and not Israel’s), and swear to
the LORD of hosts (denotes that these five have a Christian heritage or
profession); one shall be called, The city of destruction (H2041- demolition)
(Vatican City, representing Mystic Babylon).”
Verse 19- “In that day (specifically) shall there be an altar (witness, Jos.
22:34, representing the Little sister class as one of the two witnesses, Rev 11:3)
to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar (a witness, Gen.
31:52, representing Israel as the other witness) at (H681- near) the border
(H1366- boundary) thereof to the LORD.” While the Great Pyramid literally is
the feature spoken of here, an altar, the Little Sister class, is a witness of the
sacrifice that God made in the offering of His Son for the life of the world; a pillar,
Israel after they accept Yeshua as their Messiah, is a witness that Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob would inherit the land that God promised them, the land of Canaan,
Gen. 35:9-15. Israel is also near the border of Egypt.
Verse 20- “And it (both the Great Pyramid, and the two witnesses) shall be for
a sign (H226- evidence. Israel is already in the land) and for a witness
(H5707-testimony, accomplished by the Little Sister) unto the LORD of hosts in
the land of Egypt (representing the world at large): for they (the world’s
inhabitants) shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors (H3905- “to
distress.” Both the Second Beast and the Image of the Beast are oppressive, Rev
13:13-17) and he (Jehovah) shall send them a saviour, and a great one (the
Messiah, Head and Body), and he shall deliver them (Egypt).”

This hearkens back to Moses and the children of Israel in bondage to Egypt.
Moses wrote, “I (Jehovah) will raise them up a Prophet from among their
brethren like unto thee…” Deu 18:18, referring to the Lord Jesus and His Bride.
See Acts 3:17-23.
Additionally, the actual structure of the Great Pyramid contains God’s plan for
mankind’s deliverance from sin in its very construction and features. This
structure testifies that God indeed had a plan and that He did not “wing it” as
time went by, for that structure was built in 2170 BC.
Verse 21- “And the LORD shall be known to Egypt (the world), and the
Egyptians (the people) shall know (intimately, reverentially) the LORD in that
day (in the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus, Yeshua), and shall do sacrifice (giving
their own hearts and lives unto Jehovah through Jesus) and oblation (symbolic
meal and drink offerings); yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD (of
perpetual faithfulness) and perform it.”
Verse 22- “And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal: and
they shall return (7725- to turn) to the LORD, and he shall be entreated of
them, and shall heal them.” (This verse is out of sequence as to order of
fulfillment. It will occur during verse 20 and before verse 21. This displaced
sequence helps to conceal the understanding of it.)
Verse 23- “In that day shall there be a highway (H4546- “thoroughfare,”
meaning a means of connection for instruction, communication) out of Egypt
(the world of mankind) to Assyria (The Christ, Head and Body), and the
Assyrian (The Lord Jesus, Yeshua) shall come (not in a literal sense, but
through communication) into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria (by means
of prayer), and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians (The world of
mankind restored to the Divine likeness, as represented in pre-sin Adam, will
serve Jehovah as does The Christ, only each will do so from different locations
and with different abilities.).”
Verse 24- “In that day shall Israel (the nation) be the third (part) with
Egypt (part two) and with Assyria (part three, thus a whole together), a
blessing in the midst of the land: whom the LORD of hosts shall bless,
saying, Blessed be Egypt (the world of mankind) my people, and Assyria
(The Church with her Head) the work of my hands, and Israel mine
inheritance.”
Isa 23:13
“Behold the land of the Chaldeans (Babylon, Roman Catholicism); this
people was not (in existence), till the Assyrian (Satan, counterfeiting the true)
founded it for them (the tare class) that dwell in the wilderness (apart from
50

90
God’s truth, apart from the true saints of God): they (the tare class) set up the
towers (H971- “a watchtower of besiegers,” leaders) thereof (to advance their
agenda), they (the tare class) raised up the palaces (H759- citadel, fortress)
thereof (the false church created a structured system that parallels the world’s
mentality of lordship and glory); and he (Satan, or, “they” the people) brought
it to ruin.”
Isaiah 31:6-9
Verse 6- “Turn ye unto (Jehovah) from whom the children of Israel have
deeply revolted.”
Verse 7- “For in that day (the Day of God’s Vengeance) every man shall cast
away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold (These idols could be wealth, as
represented in silver and gold, or they could literally be silver and gold. They
could also be idols that they value highly, such as esteem in the community, or a
position of rank or honor, etc.), which your own hands have made unto you
a sin. (Mankind creates images by their own doing, which become sin and snares
unto them.)
Verse 8- “Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty
man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him (This is
indicative of death by the modern means of warfare- gunfire. This “man” is
neither mighty, nor mean; just doing his job.): but he (the Assyrian) shall flee
(H5127- vanish away, that is, die) from (H4480,6440- by reason of the face of)
the sword, and his young men (H970- selected one) shall be discomfited
(upset, disturbed).”
The Assyrian here is one upon earth who is recognized as a spiritual leader
because of the influence he has upon both Israel and upon many within the world
at large. See Exo 11:3.
Verse 9- “And he shall pass over (5674- cross over) to his (reward)
stronghold (H5553- “a fortress,” heaven itself) for fear (H4480, H4432-
because of terror [applied against him]), and his princes (H8269- “a head
person”- the Lord Jesus) shall be afraid (H2865- to break down by violence) of
the ensign (H4480,5251- “a part of the flagstaff” representing Babylon as the
first part), saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion (The Christ, Head and Body),
and his furnace in Jerusalem (natural Israel).”
Verses 6-9 translated- The nation of Israel who has deeply revolted from Jehovah
will turn to Him. In the Day of God’s vengeance they shall cast away the idols of
value that they have erected, which was sin unto them. Afterward the Christian
who assisted Israel in casting away their idols shall be killed, by military meansgunfire,
the modern day sword. Because of that, he vanishes in death, whereby
95

105
110

125

a selected one or group is discomfited, disturbed, likely the Little Sister class.
This Christian enters into his reward in heaven as part of the Body of Christ. The
Lord Jesus will subsequently break Babylon down by violence, her hour of
destruction having come. Babylon will be burned with fire, a furnace, in
Jerusalem by The Christ, though through the instrumentality of the Second Beast
and the Ten kings, Rev 17:16.
Isa. 52:4
“For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people (Jacob and his immediate
descendants) went down formerly into Egypt to sojourn there; and the
Assyrian (Pharoah, the religious leader) oppressed them without cause
(H657- cessation).”
Micah 5:3-9
Verse 3- “Therefore will he (Messiah) give them (Israelites) up (to blindness,
Rom 11:25), until the time that she (the Sarah feature of the Abrahamic
Covenant, under and by which the New Creation is called, developed and sealed)
which travaileth (in labor to accomplish the birth of this class) hath brought
forth (testifying that the New Creation class, the Bride, has been sealed in their
foreheads, Rev 7:1-3): then the remnant of his (Messiah’s) brethren (natural
Israel) shall return unto the (the condition of being the real) children of
Israel (and that condition is one of faith in Messiah, who is Yeshua).”
The remnant returning unto the children of Israel would also apply to the
dispersed Hebrews around the world coming to their homeland to claim their
heritage as have others of the children of Israel.
Verse 4- “And he (Messiah) shall stand and feed in the strength of the
LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD (Jehovah) his God; and
they (Israel) shall abide: for now shall he (Messiah) be great unto the ends
of the earth.
Note that verse 4 declares that Messiah has a God. Jehovah is the God of
Yeshua, even as Jesus exclaimed, “I ascend unto my Father, and your Father;
and my God, and your God,” John 20:17.
Verse 5- “And this shall be the peace (why we are happy, H7965).” Green’s
Literal Translation makes this differentiation of division in the text. [“And this
shall be (H1961- to exist) the peace (H7965- safe).”] Thus, this part of verse 5 is
intimately tied to verse 4.

Micah 5:5- “When the Assyrian (the Pope himself) shall come (prompted by
International affairs) into our land (Israel): and when he shall tread (H1869-
walk) in our palaces (halls of government), then shall we raise (H6965 “to
rise,” lift up) against (H59321- above) him seven shepherds (the testimony of
the seven trumpeters of Rev 8), and eight principal (H5257- a prince, or
government) men (civil and religious leaders).”
Verse 6- “And they (the seven shepherds, by their testimony of the trumpets
sounded, though not personally present, and eight principal men) shall waste
(H7589- to spoil, to make good for nothing) the land of Assyria (false
Christianity. See Isa. 27:13.) with the sword (of truth from the Scriptures),
and the land of Nimrod (representing Catholicism) in the entrances (H6607-
an opening) thereof (of the Pope’s efforts to secure his agenda of peace in the
Middle East by espousing the Palestinian cause of their supposed right to the
land. See Isa 19:18 above.) thus shall (t)he(y) deliver us from the Assyrian
(the Pope), when he comes into our land (makes his presence for purposes of
peace), and when he treads (attempts to enforce his doctrinal view) within
our borders (regarding our territorial boundaries established for us by
Jehovah).”
Verse 7- “And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people
as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarries
(H6960- to bind together) not for man, nor waits for the son of men.
Here the remnant of Israel, in their land, vs 3, is in the midst of the world of
mankind. (The Great Pyramid in Egypt, which is not far away in distance, is the
geographical center of the world’s land mass.) By God’s viewpoint, they (Israel)
are as dew from Him and as showers upon the grass, both of which sustain life.
They do not bind men as does the Second Beast and the Image with great
constraints, and neither does Israel wait for the son of men, meaning, look to a
man for direction regarding her affairs.
Verse 8- “And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people
as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks
of sheep: who, if he go through, both treads down, and tears in pieces,
and none can deliver.”
In the Gentiles point of view, the remnant of Israel, who have returned to their
land, is in the midst of the world of men as a lion, destructive of innocent people.
Verse 9- “Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all
thine adversaries shall be cut off.”
Two scenarios exist here. One- Israel’s hand will be literally lifted up against her
adversaries to increase their estate holding to the boundaries that Jehovah set for
them in the Torah. This activity is separate and later from the campaign that
185
190
195
200
205
210
215
220
225
destroyed Damascus and routed out Arabs within her borders at that time.
The second scenario occurs during the fulfillment of Zechariah 14, wherein
Jerusalem will be taken before Jehovah roars forth for the delivery of His people.
Jehovah will go forth because those of faith within Israel shall lift up their hand
unto Jehovah, just as Moses did with his rod in Egypt to bring on the respective
plague. Their hand lifted up to Jehovah in faith will be the Hand upon their
adversaries, as He goes forth to cut off all thine adversaries. “For by faith shall
ye be saved, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God,” Eph 2:8.
From the above, Assyrian has the significance of representing a spiritual leader,
whether Pharoah, Satan, the Pope, Yeshua or one here on earth of lesser stature
than those just listed.

(Egypt, the world. “Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel both with wrath
and anger, to lay the land desolate: and He shall destroy the sinners out of it.”
“And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I
will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of
the terrible.” Isa. 13:9,11).”
Verse 18- “In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the
language of Canaan (five Gentile entities shall endorse the cause of the natives
of the land of Canaan which is, this land is theirs and not Israel’s), and swear to
the LORD of hosts (denotes that these five have a Christian heritage or
profession); one shall be called, The city of destruction (H2041- demolition)
(Vatican City, representing Mystic Babylon).”
Verse 19- “In that day (specifically) shall there be an altar (witness, Jos.
22:34, representing the Little sister class as one of the two witnesses, Rev 11:3)
to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar (a witness, Gen.
31:52, representing Israel as the other witness) at (H681- near) the border
(H1366- boundary) thereof to the LORD.” While the Great Pyramid literally is
the feature spoken of here, an altar, the Little Sister class, is a witness of the
sacrifice that God made in the offering of His Son for the life of the world; a pillar,
Israel after they accept Yeshua as their Messiah, is a witness that Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob would inherit the land that God promised them, the land of Canaan,
Gen. 35:9-15. Israel is also near the border of Egypt.
Verse 20- “And it (both the Great Pyramid, and the two witnesses) shall be for
a sign (H226- evidence. Israel is already in the land) and for a witness
(H5707-testimony, accomplished by the Little Sister) unto the LORD of hosts in
the land of Egypt (representing the world at large): for they (the world’s
inhabitants) shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors (H3905- “to
distress.” Both the Second Beast and the Image of the Beast are oppressive, Rev
13:13-17) and he (Jehovah) shall send them a saviour, and a great one (the
Messiah, Head and Body), and he shall deliver them (Egypt).”

This hearkens back to Moses and the children of Israel in bondage to Egypt.
Moses wrote, “I (Jehovah) will raise them up a Prophet from among their
brethren like unto thee…” Deu 18:18, referring to the Lord Jesus and His Bride.
See Acts 3:17-23.
Additionally, the actual structure of the Great Pyramid contains God’s plan for
mankind’s deliverance from sin in its very construction and features. This
structure testifies that God indeed had a plan and that He did not “wing it” as
time went by, for that structure was built in 2170 BC.
Verse 21- “And the LORD shall be known to Egypt (the world), and the
Egyptians (the people) shall know (intimately, reverentially) the LORD in that
day (in the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus, Yeshua), and shall do sacrifice (giving
their own hearts and lives unto Jehovah through Jesus) and oblation (symbolic
meal and drink offerings); yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD (of
perpetual faithfulness) and perform it.”
Verse 22- “And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal: and
they shall return (7725- to turn) to the LORD, and he shall be entreated of
them, and shall heal them.” (This verse is out of sequence as to order of
fulfillment. It will occur during verse 20 and before verse 21. This displaced
sequence helps to conceal the understanding of it.)
Verse 23- “In that day shall there be a highway (H4546- “thoroughfare,”
meaning a means of connection for instruction, communication) out of Egypt
(the world of mankind) to Assyria (The Christ, Head and Body), and the
Assyrian (The Lord Jesus, Yeshua) shall come (not in a literal sense, but
through communication) into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria (by means
of prayer), and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians (The world of
mankind restored to the Divine likeness, as represented in pre-sin Adam, will
serve Jehovah as does The Christ, only each will do so from different locations
and with different abilities.).”
Verse 24- “In that day shall Israel (the nation) be the third (part) with
Egypt (part two) and with Assyria (part three, thus a whole together), a
blessing in the midst of the land: whom the LORD of hosts shall bless,
saying, Blessed be Egypt (the world of mankind) my people, and Assyria
(The Church with her Head) the work of my hands, and Israel mine
inheritance.”
Isa 23:13
“Behold the land of the Chaldeans (Babylon, Roman Catholicism); this
people was not (in existence), till the Assyrian (Satan, counterfeiting the true)
founded it for them (the tare class) that dwell in the wilderness (apart from
50

God’s truth, apart from the true saints of God): they (the tare class) set up the
towers (H971- “a watchtower of besiegers,” leaders) thereof (to advance their
agenda), they (the tare class) raised up the palaces (H759- citadel, fortress)
thereof (the false church created a structured system that parallels the world’s
mentality of lordship and glory); and he (Satan, or, “they” the people) brought
it to ruin.”
Isaiah 31:6-9
Verse 6- “Turn ye unto (Jehovah) from whom the children of Israel have
deeply revolted.”
Verse 7- “For in that day (the Day of God’s Vengeance) every man shall cast
away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold (These idols could be wealth, as
represented in silver and gold, or they could literally be silver and gold. They
could also be idols that they value highly, such as esteem in the community, or a
position of rank or honor, etc.), which your own hands have made unto you
a sin. (Mankind creates images by their own doing, which become sin and snares
unto them.)
Verse 8- “Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty
man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him (This is
indicative of death by the modern means of warfare- gunfire. This “man” is
neither mighty, nor mean; just doing his job.): but he (the Assyrian) shall flee
(H5127- vanish away, that is, die) from (H4480,6440- by reason of the face of)
the sword, and his young men (H970- selected one) shall be discomfited
(upset, disturbed).”
The Assyrian here is one upon earth who is recognized as a spiritual leader
because of the influence he has upon both Israel and upon many within the world
at large. See Exo 11:3.
Verse 9- “And he shall pass over (5674- cross over) to his (reward)
stronghold (H5553- “a fortress,” heaven itself) for fear (H4480, H4432-
because of terror [applied against him]), and his princes (H8269- “a head
person”- the Lord Jesus) shall be afraid (H2865- to break down by violence) of
the ensign (H4480,5251- “a part of the flagstaff” representing Babylon as the
first part), saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion (The Christ, Head and Body),
and his furnace in Jerusalem (natural Israel).”
Verses 6-9 translated- The nation of Israel who has deeply revolted from Jehovah
will turn to Him. In the Day of God’s vengeance they shall cast away the idols of
value that they have erected, which was sin unto them. Afterward the Christian
who assisted Israel in casting away their idols shall be killed, by military meansgunfire,
the modern day sword. Because of that, he vanishes in death, whereby
95

105
110

125

135
a selected one or group is discomfited, disturbed, likely the Little Sister class.
This Christian enters into his reward in heaven as part of the Body of Christ. The
Lord Jesus will subsequently break Babylon down by violence, her hour of
destruction having come. Babylon will be burned with fire, a furnace, in
Jerusalem by The Christ, though through the instrumentality of the Second Beast
and the Ten kings, Rev 17:16.
Isa. 52:4
“For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people (Jacob and his immediate
descendants) went down formerly into Egypt to sojourn there; and the
Assyrian (Pharoah, the religious leader) oppressed them without cause
(H657- cessation).”
Micah 5:3-9
Verse 3- “Therefore will he (Messiah) give them (Israelites) up (to blindness,
Rom 11:25), until the time that she (the Sarah feature of the Abrahamic
Covenant, under and by which the New Creation is called, developed and sealed)
which travaileth (in labor to accomplish the birth of this class) hath brought
forth (testifying that the New Creation class, the Bride, has been sealed in their
foreheads, Rev 7:1-3): then the remnant of his (Messiah’s) brethren (natural
Israel) shall return unto the (the condition of being the real) children of
Israel (and that condition is one of faith in Messiah, who is Yeshua).”
The remnant returning unto the children of Israel would also apply to the
dispersed Hebrews around the world coming to their homeland to claim their
heritage as have others of the children of Israel.
Verse 4- “And he (Messiah) shall stand and feed in the strength of the
LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD (Jehovah) his God; and
they (Israel) shall abide: for now shall he (Messiah) be great unto the ends
of the earth.
Note that verse 4 declares that Messiah has a God. Jehovah is the God of
Yeshua, even as Jesus exclaimed, “I ascend unto my Father, and your Father;
and my God, and your God,” John 20:17.
Verse 5- “And this shall be the peace (why we are happy, H7965).” Green’s
Literal Translation makes this differentiation of division in the text. [“And this
shall be (H1961- to exist) the peace (H7965- safe).”] Thus, this part of verse 5 is
intimately tied to verse 4.

Micah 5:5- “When the Assyrian (the Pope himself) shall come (prompted by
International affairs) into our land (Israel): and when he shall tread (H1869-
walk) in our palaces (halls of government), then shall we raise (H6965 “to
rise,” lift up) against (H59321- above) him seven shepherds (the testimony of
the seven trumpeters of Rev 8), and eight principal (H5257- a prince, or
government) men (civil and religious leaders).”
Verse 6- “And they (the seven shepherds, by their testimony of the trumpets
sounded, though not personally present, and eight principal men) shall waste
(H7589- to spoil, to make good for nothing) the land of Assyria (false
Christianity. See Isa. 27:13.) with the sword (of truth from the Scriptures),
and the land of Nimrod (representing Catholicism) in the entrances (H6607-
an opening) thereof (of the Pope’s efforts to secure his agenda of peace in the
Middle East by espousing the Palestinian cause of their supposed right to the
land. See Isa 19:18 above.) thus shall (t)he(y) deliver us from the Assyrian
(the Pope), when he comes into our land (makes his presence for purposes of
peace), and when he treads (attempts to enforce his doctrinal view) within
our borders (regarding our territorial boundaries established for us by
Jehovah).”
Verse 7- “And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people
as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarries
(H6960- to bind together) not for man, nor waits for the son of men.
Here the remnant of Israel, in their land, vs 3, is in the midst of the world of
mankind. (The Great Pyramid in Egypt, which is not far away in distance, is the
geographical center of the world’s land mass.) By God’s viewpoint, they (Israel)
are as dew from Him and as showers upon the grass, both of which sustain life.
They do not bind men as does the Second Beast and the Image with great
constraints, and neither does Israel wait for the son of men, meaning, look to a
man for direction regarding her affairs.
Verse 8- “And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people
as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks
of sheep: who, if he go through, both treads down, and tears in pieces,
and none can deliver.”
In the Gentiles point of view, the remnant of Israel, who have returned to their
land, is in the midst of the world of men as a lion, destructive of innocent people.
Verse 9- “Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all
thine adversaries shall be cut off.”
Two scenarios exist here. One- Israel’s hand will be literally lifted up against her
adversaries to increase their estate holding to the boundaries that Jehovah set for
them in the Torah. This activity is separate and later from the campaign that
185
190
195
200
205
210
215
220
225
destroyed Damascus and routed out Arabs within her borders at that time.
The second scenario occurs during the fulfillment of Zechariah 14, wherein
Jerusalem will be taken before Jehovah roars forth for the delivery of His people.
Jehovah will go forth because those of faith within Israel shall lift up their hand
unto Jehovah, just as Moses did with his rod in Egypt to bring on the respective
plague. Their hand lifted up to Jehovah in faith will be the Hand upon their
adversaries, as He goes forth to cut off all thine adversaries. “For by faith shall
ye be saved, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God,” Eph 2:8.
From the above, Assyrian has the significance of representing a spiritual leader,
whether Pharoah, Satan, the Pope, Yeshua or one here on earth of lesser stature
than those just listed.

When Ye Be Come Into The Land
Lev 14:34- “When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a
possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your
possession;… then the priest shall command that they empty the house….”
*When ye come into the land of promise, into the spiritual seed of Abraham, into
Christ, and I (Jehovah) place the conviction of sin upon a “house,” after
confession is made, and the priest, Yeshua, commands repentance by emptying
the “house” of its contents, then healing from the sin may occur. See Acts 8:9-
24 for an example.
Lev 19:23- “And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all
manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised:
three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten.”
*When ye come into Christ, plant in the soil of your heart all manner of doctrines
for nutrition, food, but realize the fruitage for the first three years will be
incomplete, unholy. 1 Pet 2:2. (The final fulfillment of this text’s significance
began to be realized in 2017 relative to the significance of Sarah, Abraham’s wife,
and her death. Sarah represents the Grace Covenant under which the Gospel
Age Church is called, tested and developed for a place in the Bride of Christ. The
year 2017 closed the opportunity for spirit-begettal to occur to start the process
of testing and development. From that year to now, 2020, is three years. As we
pointed out elsewhere, we suggested that the end of the spirit begetting to
become a Bride member ended on the Feast of Weeks date, and here we are, at
the Feast of Weeks, three years later. After three years, the fruit is holy, and can
be eaten. Thus, on the morning of May 30th, after 9:00 A.M. local time, the fruits
of the trees (the writings of the Old Testament prophets) is holy and may be
“eaten,” understood. Those prophecies will now give nutrition, whereas before,
they could not be consumed.)
Lev 23:10- “Speak unto the children of Israel, say unto them, When ye be come
into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye
shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest.”
*When ye come into Christ, and reap a harvest of blessings from that which you
have sown, bring a memorial of Christ, the firstfruit, of your harvest of blessing,
unto him, your High Priest. “This do in remembrance of me,” Luke 22:19.

Lev 25:2- “Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come
into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the
LORD.”
*When ye be come into Christ, then you, as part of the Anointed, shall keep a
sabbath of rest: “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will
give you rest,” Mat 11:28.
Num 14:30- “Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, which I swore to make
you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
*“Doubtless ye shall not” enter into Christ, ye that murmur against God’s
arrangements, but ye shall perish in the wilderness of sin, except for the few who
have spoken a true report and have exercised faith in the promises of God. (Note
that this points to natural Israel, who did not for the most part enter into Christ
for the heavenly race because of their disbelief. Only a few of natural Israel
entered into Christ.)
Num 15:2-5 “Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be
come into the land of your habitations, which I give you, And will make an
offering by fire unto the LORD,...then shall he that offers...bring a meat
offering...and...a drink offering.”
*When ye come into Christ, all additional offerings must include the meat (meal)
offering which represents appreciation, and the drink offering of wine,
representing comprehension of doctrine, to make the offering by fire complete.
Those who entered into Christ had included with their initial peace offering of
themselves, both comprehension of what God’s purposes were, and of
appreciation of them for mankind’s benefit as well as appreciation for the
privilege that the individual had to become a part of the promised seed for that
promised blessing of others to occur.
Num 15:18,19- “Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye
come into the land whither I bring you,...when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye
shall offer up a heave offering.”
*When ye be come into Christ, “if any man eat of this bread (I am the living
bread which came down from heaven), he shall live forever: and the bread that I
will give is my flesh, which I give for the life of the world,” John 6:51. The bread
here is not literal as in cannibalism, but an appropriation to oneself of what Jesus’
flesh meant. Because he offered himself as a ransom for Adam, his flesh then
became a substitute for Adam in the grave. With that substitution, Adam and all
of his posterity can come forth from the grave, but only after God officially applies
45
50
55
60
65
70
75
80
85
90
that previously offered sacrifice by Yeshua towards Adam’s account.
Appropriation then means a personal acceptance of the value of that sacrifice
based upon an understanding and appreciation of what God has provided.
Therefore, when the Anointed class here, prospective Body members of the Bride,
eats (appropriates) of that bread of the sacrifice of Yeshua, they are then to offer
a heave offering.
That heave offering is associated with the peace offering, Exo 29:27,28, which
peace offering is that which each individual of the Anointed offered as they
offered themselves in consecration unto God for the purpose of running the race
of the high calling, which is to have joint-heirship with Yeshua, Lev 7:11-18; Phil
3:14, Rom 8:17. The heave offering consists of the right shoulder, Exo 29:28;
Lev 7:32. The shoulder of an animal is the means of locomotion, to walk. Thus,
when the shoulder is heaved, lifted up, raised, by the priest, having been brought
by the hands of the offerer, the significance is that Yeshua shall raise him up, not
meaning a resurrection from death, but a raising up to walk in a newness of life,
Rom 6:4. (See also Significance of Israel’s Feasts, under Feast of Weeks
section.) Further, the fact that the right shoulder was given to Aaron and to his
sons, manifests that these faithful individuals will be given to Yeshua as a part of
his Bride, and be co-members with the other Bride members. See Lev 7:28-34.
Num 34:2- “Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come
into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an
inheritance, the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)” [descriptions of
boundaries followed.]
*When ye shall come into Christ, this is the land that shall fall unto you for an
inheritance, heaven itself. “I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again,
and receive you unto myself; that where I am ye may be also,” John 14:2,3; Psa
110:1.
Num 35:10-11- “When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan, then ye
shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the slayer may flee
thither, which kills any person unawares.”
*When ye die to self will, having made a covenant unto death (Jordan), ye be
come into Christ, the promised seed; then you shall have appointed cities, places
of refuge, for you, each of the anointed, that when you, unaware, slay any person
with your words, you may flee thither. Psa 48:3-”God is known in her (mount
Zion’s, vs 2) palaces for a refuge.”

Deu 11:29- “And it shall come to pass, when the LORD they God hath brought
thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the
blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.”
*When ye be come into Christ, “and it shall come to pass” later, after the
glorification of the Body members, that you, as a member of the glorified Christ,
shall put blessings upon those who become as mount Gerizim, doing right, and
shall place a curse upon those who become as mount Ebal, those who do wrong.
Mat 25:31-46.
Deu 17:14- When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God gives
thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king
over me, like as all the nations that are about me; thou shalt in any wise set king
over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: from among thy brethren shalt
thou set king over thee….”
*Israel, O natural Israel, have you not come again into the land which the LORD
your God gave unto your fathers, even to Abraham and to Isaac, and to Jacob,
the land of the Canaanites, even to the coasts thereof? And shall you not say, I
will set a king over me? And who shall that king be? It must be one that God
shall choose, not one from your elections. Your king must be from among your
brethren, from Israel. Who was he that was born of the seed of David, King of
the Jews? (Isa 11:1; Rom 1:3; Mat 2:2) Who was he that came unto his own
people and was rejected, despised of men? (Isa 53:3; John 1:11) Who was he
that fulfilled all the requirements of the suffering servant of Isaiah 53? Who was
he that was brought before Pilate and was mercilessly scourged with a scorpion
whip? (Mat 27:1,2,26) Who was he that hung upon the cross for the sins of
others, for he had no sin in himself? (Isa 53:11; Heb 7:26) Who was he that died
as the fulfillment of the Passover Lamb? (Exo 12:1-11; John 1:29; 1 Cor 5:7)
Who was he whom Jehovah kept all his bones: not one of them was broken? (Ps
34:20; John 19:33) Who was he that God declared, “Yet have I set my (choice
for) King upon my holy hill Zion? (Psa 2:6) Who was he that entered Jerusalem
in fulfillment of Zech 9:9- “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter
of Jerusalem; behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having
salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.” (Mat
21:1-11) Who is he that will lead Israel to the heights of glory that has been
promised in the Old Testament, Micah 4:2; Isaiah 66:10-13; Malachi 3:12? Who
is HE? WHO!!? WHO IS YOUR KING, YOUR MESSIAH!!? ANSWER ME, WHO!!?
Speak it forth. Proclaim it out loud, for “with the heart man believes unto
righteousness, and with the mouth acknowledgment is made unto salvation,”
Rom 10:10.

*When ye be come into Christ, each must learn what is right and holy before God
and to learn not to do the abominations of the nations of the earth. Gal 5:19-24.
Deu 26:1-3- “And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the
LORD thy God gives thee for an inheritance, and possesses it, and dwell therein;
that thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring
of thy land...and shall go unto the priest...and say unto him, ‘I profess this day
unto the LORD thy God, that I am come unto the country which the LORD sware
unto our fathers for to give us.’”
*When ye be come into Christ and enter into glory as your inheritance and
possess the Divine Nature; then each Body member shall take the first men and
women of all the fruit of the earth, which they (the Body member) brought forth
unto righteousness, and shall bring them unto the High Priest Yeshua, and shall
say, I declare this very day unto the LORD thy God, that I am come into heaven,
the country which the LORD swore unto our fathers that He would give us (the
Church, the Bride of Christ).
Jos 2:18- “Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet
thread in the window, which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy
father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father’s household, home
unto thee.”
*When ye be come into Christ, each shall bind the scarlet thread of life, the
ransom sacrifice of Yeshua, into the window of their heart. And each should bring
the members of their father’s household home to themselves, the place and
condition of faith and rest because of that scarlet thread.
2 Ch 30:9-”for if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children
shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come
again into this land: for the LORD thy God is gracious and merciful, and will not
turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.”
*O Israel, natural Israel, “if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your
children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they
shall come again into this land: for the LORD thy God is gracious and merciful,
and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.” Israel, natural
Israel, what hinders your brethren from coming home in hordes is your lack of
turning unto the LORD thy God. Why should they come home to a place and
condition of disbelief? The first step in that process is your cry of repentance for
your waywardness, followed by acceptance of your Messiah, for it is He through
whom the blessings of Jehovah will flow unto you.
Ezk 37:12-14- “Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of
185
190
195
200
205
210
215
220
225
your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. And ye shall know...that I the
LORD have spoken and performed.”
*Israel, O natural Israel, the LORD thy GOD will open the graves of your people,
and cause them to come up from death unto life, and He will bring all of His
people to their promised land of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, your forefathers. Do
you believe this? Is your faith sufficient to lay hold of this promise and to claim it
as yours? When this occurs, you shall surely know that Jehovah has both spoken
and performed.
Eze 38:8- “After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt
come into the land that is brought back from the sword, gathered out of many
people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is
brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.”
*Israel, O Israel, this is your future! You shall dwell safely, all of you, in your
God-promised land of Israel.
Mic 5:5- “When the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in
our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal
men.”
*(See the treatise entitled The Assyrian for details.)
Acts 7:3- (Gen 12:1) “And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from
thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall show thee.”
*Israel, O natural Israel, are not you glad that Jehovah called unto Abraham, and
said, “Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land
which I shall show thee?” Because of Abraham’s faith and obedience he was the
blessed of the LORD thy God. Do likewise: exercise faith in Jehovah’s promises
to you as a people, be obedient to His will, and be BLESSED!
Below is a condensed and slight variation of the above.

Num 15:18 Eat bread of land, Offer heave offering
Num. 34:2 Boundaries established
Num. 35:10 Appoint cities of refuge
When you come into the promised seed, make offerings of thanksgiving, which
are sacrificial peace offerings. Eat bread of truth, walk in accordance with the
spirit, which means you are walking in a newness of life. Boundaries are
established for living, and ultimately, participants are appointed to a city of
refuge.
Deu. 18:9 Not learn to do abominations of nations
Jos. 2:18 Bind scarlet thread in window
Eze. 37:12-14 Ye shall know that I Jehovah have spoken and performed
Eze. 38:8 They shall dwell safely all of them
When you come into the promised seed, learn to not do as the world does, bind
the sacrifice of Christ into the window of your heart. Ye shall know that Jehovah
has called you. All the members shall dwell safely under His wings.

possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your
possession;… then the priest shall command that they empty the house….”
*When ye come into the land of promise, into the spiritual seed of Abraham, into
Christ, and I (Jehovah) place the conviction of sin upon a “house,” after
confession is made, and the priest, Yeshua, commands repentance by emptying
the “house” of its contents, then healing from the sin may occur. See Acts 8:9-
24 for an example.
Lev 19:23- “And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all
manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised:
three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten.”
*When ye come into Christ, plant in the soil of your heart all manner of doctrines
for nutrition, food, but realize the fruitage for the first three years will be
incomplete, unholy. 1 Pet 2:2. (The final fulfillment of this text’s significance
began to be realized in 2017 relative to the significance of Sarah, Abraham’s wife,
and her death. Sarah represents the Grace Covenant under which the Gospel
Age Church is called, tested and developed for a place in the Bride of Christ. The
year 2017 closed the opportunity for spirit-begettal to occur to start the process
of testing and development. From that year to now, 2020, is three years. As we
pointed out elsewhere, we suggested that the end of the spirit begetting to
become a Bride member ended on the Feast of Weeks date, and here we are, at
the Feast of Weeks, three years later. After three years, the fruit is holy, and can
be eaten. Thus, on the morning of May 30th, after 9:00 A.M. local time, the fruits
of the trees (the writings of the Old Testament prophets) is holy and may be
“eaten,” understood. Those prophecies will now give nutrition, whereas before,
they could not be consumed.)
Lev 23:10- “Speak unto the children of Israel, say unto them, When ye be come
into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye
shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest.”
*When ye come into Christ, and reap a harvest of blessings from that which you
have sown, bring a memorial of Christ, the firstfruit, of your harvest of blessing,
unto him, your High Priest. “This do in remembrance of me,” Luke 22:19.

Lev 25:2- “Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come
into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the
LORD.”
*When ye be come into Christ, then you, as part of the Anointed, shall keep a
sabbath of rest: “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will
give you rest,” Mat 11:28.
Num 14:30- “Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, which I swore to make
you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
*“Doubtless ye shall not” enter into Christ, ye that murmur against God’s
arrangements, but ye shall perish in the wilderness of sin, except for the few who
have spoken a true report and have exercised faith in the promises of God. (Note
that this points to natural Israel, who did not for the most part enter into Christ
for the heavenly race because of their disbelief. Only a few of natural Israel
entered into Christ.)
Num 15:2-5 “Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be
come into the land of your habitations, which I give you, And will make an
offering by fire unto the LORD,...then shall he that offers...bring a meat
offering...and...a drink offering.”
*When ye come into Christ, all additional offerings must include the meat (meal)
offering which represents appreciation, and the drink offering of wine,
representing comprehension of doctrine, to make the offering by fire complete.
Those who entered into Christ had included with their initial peace offering of
themselves, both comprehension of what God’s purposes were, and of
appreciation of them for mankind’s benefit as well as appreciation for the
privilege that the individual had to become a part of the promised seed for that
promised blessing of others to occur.
Num 15:18,19- “Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye
come into the land whither I bring you,...when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye
shall offer up a heave offering.”
*When ye be come into Christ, “if any man eat of this bread (I am the living
bread which came down from heaven), he shall live forever: and the bread that I
will give is my flesh, which I give for the life of the world,” John 6:51. The bread
here is not literal as in cannibalism, but an appropriation to oneself of what Jesus’
flesh meant. Because he offered himself as a ransom for Adam, his flesh then
became a substitute for Adam in the grave. With that substitution, Adam and all
of his posterity can come forth from the grave, but only after God officially applies
45

that previously offered sacrifice by Yeshua towards Adam’s account.
Appropriation then means a personal acceptance of the value of that sacrifice
based upon an understanding and appreciation of what God has provided.
Therefore, when the Anointed class here, prospective Body members of the Bride,
eats (appropriates) of that bread of the sacrifice of Yeshua, they are then to offer
a heave offering.
That heave offering is associated with the peace offering, Exo 29:27,28, which
peace offering is that which each individual of the Anointed offered as they
offered themselves in consecration unto God for the purpose of running the race
of the high calling, which is to have joint-heirship with Yeshua, Lev 7:11-18; Phil
3:14, Rom 8:17. The heave offering consists of the right shoulder, Exo 29:28;
Lev 7:32. The shoulder of an animal is the means of locomotion, to walk. Thus,
when the shoulder is heaved, lifted up, raised, by the priest, having been brought
by the hands of the offerer, the significance is that Yeshua shall raise him up, not
meaning a resurrection from death, but a raising up to walk in a newness of life,
Rom 6:4. (See also Significance of Israel’s Feasts, under Feast of Weeks
section.) Further, the fact that the right shoulder was given to Aaron and to his
sons, manifests that these faithful individuals will be given to Yeshua as a part of
his Bride, and be co-members with the other Bride members. See Lev 7:28-34.
Num 34:2- “Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come
into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an
inheritance, the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)” [descriptions of
boundaries followed.]
*When ye shall come into Christ, this is the land that shall fall unto you for an
inheritance, heaven itself. “I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again,
and receive you unto myself; that where I am ye may be also,” John 14:2,3; Psa
110:1.
Num 35:10-11- “When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan, then ye
shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the slayer may flee
thither, which kills any person unawares.”
*When ye die to self will, having made a covenant unto death (Jordan), ye be
come into Christ, the promised seed; then you shall have appointed cities, places
of refuge, for you, each of the anointed, that when you, unaware, slay any person
with your words, you may flee thither. Psa 48:3-”God is known in her (mount
Zion’s, vs 2) palaces for a refuge.”

Deu 11:29- “And it shall come to pass, when the LORD they God hath brought
thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the
blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.”
*When ye be come into Christ, “and it shall come to pass” later, after the
glorification of the Body members, that you, as a member of the glorified Christ,
shall put blessings upon those who become as mount Gerizim, doing right, and
shall place a curse upon those who become as mount Ebal, those who do wrong.
Mat 25:31-46.
Deu 17:14- When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God gives
thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king
over me, like as all the nations that are about me; thou shalt in any wise set king
over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: from among thy brethren shalt
thou set king over thee….”
*Israel, O natural Israel, have you not come again into the land which the LORD
your God gave unto your fathers, even to Abraham and to Isaac, and to Jacob,
the land of the Canaanites, even to the coasts thereof? And shall you not say, I
will set a king over me? And who shall that king be? It must be one that God
shall choose, not one from your elections. Your king must be from among your
brethren, from Israel. Who was he that was born of the seed of David, King of
the Jews? (Isa 11:1; Rom 1:3; Mat 2:2) Who was he that came unto his own
people and was rejected, despised of men? (Isa 53:3; John 1:11) Who was he
that fulfilled all the requirements of the suffering servant of Isaiah 53? Who was
he that was brought before Pilate and was mercilessly scourged with a scorpion
whip? (Mat 27:1,2,26) Who was he that hung upon the cross for the sins of
others, for he had no sin in himself? (Isa 53:11; Heb 7:26) Who was he that died
as the fulfillment of the Passover Lamb? (Exo 12:1-11; John 1:29; 1 Cor 5:7)
Who was he whom Jehovah kept all his bones: not one of them was broken? (Ps
34:20; John 19:33) Who was he that God declared, “Yet have I set my (choice
for) King upon my holy hill Zion? (Psa 2:6) Who was he that entered Jerusalem
in fulfillment of Zech 9:9- “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter
of Jerusalem; behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having
salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.” (Mat
21:1-11) Who is he that will lead Israel to the heights of glory that has been
promised in the Old Testament, Micah 4:2; Isaiah 66:10-13; Malachi 3:12? Who
is HE? WHO!!? WHO IS YOUR KING, YOUR MESSIAH!!? ANSWER ME, WHO!!?
Speak it forth. Proclaim it out loud, for “with the heart man believes unto
righteousness, and with the mouth acknowledgment is made unto salvation,”
Rom 10:10.

*When ye be come into Christ, each must learn what is right and holy before God
and to learn not to do the abominations of the nations of the earth. Gal 5:19-24.
Deu 26:1-3- “And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the
LORD thy God gives thee for an inheritance, and possesses it, and dwell therein;
that thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring
of thy land...and shall go unto the priest...and say unto him, ‘I profess this day
unto the LORD thy God, that I am come unto the country which the LORD sware
unto our fathers for to give us.’”
*When ye be come into Christ and enter into glory as your inheritance and
possess the Divine Nature; then each Body member shall take the first men and
women of all the fruit of the earth, which they (the Body member) brought forth
unto righteousness, and shall bring them unto the High Priest Yeshua, and shall
say, I declare this very day unto the LORD thy God, that I am come into heaven,
the country which the LORD swore unto our fathers that He would give us (the
Church, the Bride of Christ).
Jos 2:18- “Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet
thread in the window, which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy
father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father’s household, home
unto thee.”
*When ye be come into Christ, each shall bind the scarlet thread of life, the
ransom sacrifice of Yeshua, into the window of their heart. And each should bring
the members of their father’s household home to themselves, the place and
condition of faith and rest because of that scarlet thread.
2 Ch 30:9-”for if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children
shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come
again into this land: for the LORD thy God is gracious and merciful, and will not
turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.”
*O Israel, natural Israel, “if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your
children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they
shall come again into this land: for the LORD thy God is gracious and merciful,
and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.” Israel, natural
Israel, what hinders your brethren from coming home in hordes is your lack of
turning unto the LORD thy God. Why should they come home to a place and
condition of disbelief? The first step in that process is your cry of repentance for
your waywardness, followed by acceptance of your Messiah, for it is He through
whom the blessings of Jehovah will flow unto you.
Ezk 37:12-14- “Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of

your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. And ye shall know...that I the
LORD have spoken and performed.”
*Israel, O natural Israel, the LORD thy GOD will open the graves of your people,
and cause them to come up from death unto life, and He will bring all of His
people to their promised land of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, your forefathers. Do
you believe this? Is your faith sufficient to lay hold of this promise and to claim it
as yours? When this occurs, you shall surely know that Jehovah has both spoken
and performed.
Eze 38:8- “After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt
come into the land that is brought back from the sword, gathered out of many
people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is
brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.”
*Israel, O Israel, this is your future! You shall dwell safely, all of you, in your
God-promised land of Israel.
Mic 5:5- “When the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in
our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal
men.”
*(See the treatise entitled The Assyrian for details.)
Acts 7:3- (Gen 12:1) “And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from
thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall show thee.”
*Israel, O natural Israel, are not you glad that Jehovah called unto Abraham, and
said, “Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land
which I shall show thee?” Because of Abraham’s faith and obedience he was the
blessed of the LORD thy God. Do likewise: exercise faith in Jehovah’s promises
to you as a people, be obedient to His will, and be BLESSED!

Vengeance Is Mine!
What is vengeance?
H5359 – revenge. This is not the same Hebrew word used for the man #1 who
renders a payback to the man #2 who accidentally killed a relative of man #1.
The above then is relative to Divine settlement for injustice. Deut. 32:41, “If I
whet my glistening sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render
vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.”
To Whom does vengeance belong?
Psa. 94:1- O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongs; O God, to whom
vengeance belongs, show thyself.” See also Psa. 58:10,11; Rom. 12:19; Nah.
1:2,3.
When will vengeance be carried out? (Basic overview)
(Upon literal Babylon in Jeremiah’s day)
Jer. 51:6- “Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be
not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD’s vengeance; he will
render unto her a recompense.”
(Upon natural Israel after our Lord’s First Advent, 69,70 A.D.)
Luke 21:22- “For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are
written may be fulfilled.”
Joel 2:1- “Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain:
let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it
is nigh at hand.” Zep 1:14-”The great day of the Lord is near, near, and hasteth
the voice (trumpet) of the day of the LORD” the mighty man shall cry there
bitterly.”
(Upon symbolic Babylon, Papacy, at the time of the end of the Gospel Age)
Jer. 51:6- “Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be
not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD’s vengeance; he will
render unto her a recompense.”
Isa. 34:8- “For it is the day of the LORD’s vengeance, and the year of
recompenses for the controversy of Zion.
2 Cor. 10:6- “And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your
obedience is fulfilled.” This fulfilling of the experiences of the Body members of
The Christ (Anointed) occurs as the last Body member enters into death on the
day of the sounding of the seventh trumpet, Rev 11:15.

Psa. 149:5-7- Let the saints be joyful in glory (their exaltation): let them sing
aloud upon their beds (of of repose). Let the high praises of God be in their
mouth, and a two-edged sword (Word of God) in their hand; To execute
vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;”
2 Thes. 1:8,10- “In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God,
and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ...When he shall come to be
glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe...in that day.”
Upon whom is vengeance rendered?
Deu. 32:41- “I will render vengeance to mine enemies...”
Psa. 149:7,8- “To execute vengeance upon the heathen...kings,...nobles”
Jer. 50:15; Rev. 18:2,6 “...take vengeance upon her (literal and spiritual
Babylon); as she hath done, do unto her.”
Nah. 1:2- “...the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries...”
Isa 13:11- “And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their
iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and I willlay low
the haughtiness of the terrible.”
Jer 25:15,16, 25- “For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the
winecup of this fury at my hand and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee,
to drink it. And they shall drink… and all the kings of the north, far and near, one
with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the
earth: and the king of Sheshach (Satan) shall drink after them.”
Why is vengeance meted out?
Isa. 34:8- “For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance, and the year of
recompenses for the controversy of Zion.”
Isa 59:12-15- “For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins
testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we
know them; In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away
from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the
heart words of falsehood. And judgment is turned away backward, and justice
stands afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yea,
truth fails, and he that departs from evil makes himself a prey: and the LORD
saw, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.”
Deu. 32:43- “Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood
of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful
unto his land, and to his people.”

Who will mete out vengeance?
Isa. 59:16-18- “And he (God) saw that there was no man, and wondered that
there was no intercessor: therefore his arm (the Logos) brought salvation unto
him (God); and his (our Lord Jesus as a man) righteousness, it sustained him
(Jesus). For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation
upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was
clad with zeal as a cloak (in preparation for rendering judgment to the nations).
According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries,
recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense.”
Day of vengeance:
Isa. 61:2- “To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of
vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn.”
Isa. 63:4- “For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my
redeemed is come.”
(There are other instances in Scripture where vengeance is spoken about, and
they are listed as follows: Gen. 4:15; Deu. 32:35; Judg. 11:36; Psa. 99:8; Pro.
6:34; Isa. 35:4; 47:3; Jer. 11:20; 20:12; 46:10; 50:28; 51:11,36; Lam. 3:60;

Upon whom is vengeance rendered?
Deu. 32:41- “I will render vengeance to mine enemies...”
Psa. 149:7,8- “To execute vengeance upon the heathen...kings,...nobles”
Jer. 50:15; Rev. 18:2,6 “...take vengeance upon her (literal and spiritual
Babylon); as she hath done, do unto her.”
Nah. 1:2- “...the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries...”
Isa 13:11- “And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their
iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and I willlay low
the haughtiness of the terrible.”
Jer 25:15,16, 25- “For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the
winecup of this fury at my hand and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee,
to drink it. And they shall drink… and all the kings of the north, far and near, one
with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the
earth: and the king of Sheshach (Satan) shall drink after them.”
Why is vengeance meted out?
Isa. 34:8- “For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance, and the year of
recompenses for the controversy of Zion.”
Isa 59:12-15- “For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins
testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we
know them; In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away
from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the
heart words of falsehood. And judgment is turned away backward, and justice
stands afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yea,
truth fails, and he that departs from evil makes himself a prey: and the LORD
saw, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.”
Deu. 32:43- “Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood
of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful
unto his land, and to his people.”

Who will mete out vengeance?
Isa. 59:16-18- “And he (God) saw that there was no man, and wondered that
there was no intercessor: therefore his arm (the Logos) brought salvation unto
him (God); and his (our Lord Jesus as a man) righteousness, it sustained him
(Jesus). For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation
upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was
clad with zeal as a cloak (in preparation for rendering judgment to the nations).
According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries,
recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense.”
Day of vengeance:

Significance of Israel’s Solemn Days & Feasts
Passover
The Apostle Paul identified Jesus of Nazareth as who the lamb represented when
he said, “For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us,” 1 Cor 5:7. That
statement carries dual weight; not only for who the lamb represented, but also
for who the original Israelites represented as well. “Sacrificed for us” refers to
the Gospel Age disciples of Jesus who have laid aside all to follow him. These
same individuals are spoken of by the same Apostle Paul when he said, “Let us
therefore, as many as be complete, be thus minded….” This statement refers to
his just prior written confession, “Brethren, I count not myself to have
apprehended: but one thing, forgetting those things which are behind, and
reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for
the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” This high calling, if
successfully pursued, eventuates in joint-heirship with Jesus, a heavenly
inheritance. See Phi 3:13-15; Rom 8:16,17.
Just as the original Israelites were spared from death when Jehovah passed
through the land of Egypt that night to “smite all the firstborn in the land of
Egypt, both man and beast,” (Exo 12:12), so also those under the blood of Jesus
during the Gospel Age have been spared, released, from the condemnation that
came upon Adam and his posterity unto death. “There is therefore now no
condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,” Rom 8:1. Those called of God
(1 Th 2:12), these, begotten of the Spirit (1 Pe 1:3; 1 Jn 5:18) unto a newness of
life in Christ (2 Co 5:17), must die, having sacrificed this life upon the altar, in
order that they might receive their eternal reward. “I have said, Ye are gods
(very great); and all of you children of the Most High. But ye shall die like men,
and fall like one of the princes.” Ps 82:6,7.
These spiritual Israelites eat the unleavened bread of truth, free from the
corruption of man’s theological spin, the bread of life, Jehovah’s Word. These
also eat or partake of bitter herbs, bitter experiences, which encourage us to
consume more and more of the lamb of God. That lamb was eaten only during
that Passover night, and so it is for the Gospel Age, the night time of sin, wherein
only the spirit begotten partake of the Lamb of God unto life eternal in the
heavens. All others of mankind will have their opportunity for life upon the earth
later within the confines and conditions of the Millennial Age under Christ’s
administration. See John 10:16.
As sojourners in this world, we live dressed, shoes on our feet and staff in our
hand, for this world is not our true home; we are only passing through,
journeying, ready for the Spirit’s leading, and ready to leave this world in the
morning hours of “that day.” We are more than anxious to leave behind the
5

bondage of the flesh, which constrains us greatly, even as Egypt greatly
constrained the Israelites. And we shall leave!
Feast of Unleavened Bread
This feast began on the 15th day of the first month, the same day that the
Passover lamb was eaten. This feast centers around the unleavened bread that
was part of the Passover, making the Passover and this feast linked together with
a common element. Unleavened bread has no leaven, which represents sin.
After the Apostle Paul said, “Christ our passover sacrificed for us,” he continued,
“therefore, let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of
malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened of sincerity and truth,” 1 Cor
5;7,8. The feast, then, represents the Christian’s life and how it should be lived:
leaven free. Seven days, one whole week, one whole life to be spent without
corruption, malice, wickedness, having left these things behind, even as Israel
“swept out” of their houses all traces of leaven before the feast began. “Be ye
holy, for I am holy,” Lev 11:44,45; 1 Pe 1:15,16.
Feast of Weeks
The Feast of Weeks observes the firstfruits of wheat harvest, Exo 34:22. This
feast portrays the beginning of “the high calling of God” for the Church. The high
calling began with the barley sheaf, Yeshua our Lord Jesus, fifty days prior. He is
the Author, Heb 5:9. See Lev 23:10-16; Heb 5:1-10. It was there, at
Shavuot/Pentecost, that the Church of the living God officially began, 1 Ti 3:15.
The two wheat loaves were made with leaven which represented two things; first,
there would be two separate classes of individuals to obtain life out of the Gospel
Age high calling: the Bride which is the 144,000; and the Great Multitude of Rev
7. Secondly, both of those classes were identified with leaven, sin. All of the
disciples of Jesus came out of Adam’s posterity which was under the death
condemnation due to sin. Though these have been released from the
condemnation of that penalty, yet sin is still present in their fleshly bodies, and
will be until they finish their sacrifice in death. See Rom 7:13-25.
In Exo 29 the consecration procedure for Aaron and his sons was given by God to
Moses. In Lev 8 the service of installing Aaron and his sons as priests was
performed, thus the similarity of the two chapters. Two rams were to be used;
one for a burnt offering, Exo 29:15-18, and the other became the “ram of
consecration,” whereof part of the inwards and the right shoulder were waved
followed by burning those parts upon the altar as a burnt offering, 29:22-25.
Moses waved the breast, then received it as his part, vs 26. Then Moses
sanctified the breast and the right shoulder of future offerings for Aaron and his
sons as their due portion, vss 27,28. The balance of the ram was seethed
(boiled) in water and then eaten by Aaron and his sons that day only.

In Lev 7, the lamb breast of the peace offering was waved and the right shoulder
was heaved, and then both parts were given to the priests as their part, vss 29-
35.
In Lev 23, the Feast of Weeks section, the two lambs offered as peace offerings
were waved along with the two wave loaves with leaven, which is the bread of
the firstfruits.
Two rams, from Exo 29:1,3; Lev 8:2; Num 29:12-34, are indicative of the
consecration of the priesthood, both High Priest and under priests. Exodus and
Leviticus provides the instruction and installation, whereas Num 29, as the
offerings on the seven feast days of Ingathering, manifests that the priesthood,
the Body members of Christ, was near its conclusion. On the eighth day after the
feast began, the day wherein the solemn assembly was held, only one ram was
offered, whereby the manifestation was given that the selection of the priesthood
had ended.
In Lev 23, two rams were offered, which pointed back to Lev 8 where the
Priesthood was installed. The wave bread, and lamb breast and shoulder of the
peace offering, were waved together. Because the waving of the firstfruit sheaf
represented Yeshua’s resurrection, the waving of the bread could not represent
the Church’s resurrection, for this feast portrayed the Church’s beginning.
Therefore, when the Apostle Paul said in Rom 6:4, “Therefore, we are buried with
him (Christ) by baptism into death,” Paul referred to the two rams, one of which
was the ram of consecration, which consecration was unto death not only for
Aaron and his sons, but more importantly, manifesting the consecration of all who
entered into covenant relationship with Jehovah for the purpose of running the
race for the High Calling (Phil 3:14), which was a commitment unto death. Then,
when Paul continued, “that like as Christ was raised up from the dead,” he
referred to the waving of the firstfruit sheaf along with the heave offering that
was a part of the peace offering, Exo 29:27-29. Then as Paul continued, “by the
glory of the Father,” he again referred to Lev 23 wherein the priest who did the
waving symbolically represented Jehovah, Who actually raised Yeshua out of the
death state on the morning of the third day. Then as Paul continued, “even so we
also should walk in newness of life,” he referred to Lev 23:20 where the two
loaves and the lamb parts were waved.
Thus, the waving of the bread and the peace offering parts represents the
Church’s walk in newness of life, or a new life. “Forgetting those things which are
behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the
mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus,” Phil 3:13,14. Paul
walked in newness of life, and so do we.

The Day of Atonement, observed on the 10th day of the seventh month, consisted
of a sacrifice of a bullock for a sin offering, a sacrifice of a goat for a sin offering,
commonly called the Lord’s goat, and the release of the second goat, “live goat,”
into the wilderness, commonly called the scape goat. See Lev 16. These
sacrifices represented, in order, the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus, the sacrifice of the
Bride of Christ, and the final experience of those who become the Great Multitude
of Rev 7. This Day of Atonement brought Israel into a condition of righteousness
until its next annual observance, which then repeated the sacrifices and the
ensuing righteousness for the people.
Under God’s righteous arrangements, the Day of Atonement sacrifices, sin
offerings, Lev 16:6, prepared both the Lord Jesus and His Body members for the
upcoming work of the Millennial Age: restoration of mankind. See Heb 13:12,13;
Lev 16:27. The ransom sacrifice of Jesus (separate from the sin offering of
Jesus) provided an equivalent for Adam: a perfect man, for a perfect man that
had sinned willfully, which means Adam can be released from the death penalty
which God placed upon him. Adam’s offspring are included because they were in
his loins. What befell him, befell them. That ransom sacrifice requires the fleshly
body of the man Christ Jesus to be forever dead to take Adam’s place in his
penalty. The Sin Offering is the arrangement that God provided that enabled
Jesus to receive the Holy Spirit at Jordan, which was a begetting of him to the
Divine nature, which he did NOT have, John 5:26. His subsequent three and one
half years life of submission to God’s arrangements, a sacrifice voluntarily made,
prepared Jesus to be the Church’s Advocate during the Gospel Age and the future
Mediator for the balance of mankind. Thus we read, “Though he (Jesus) were a
Son (and a perfect one at that!), yet he learned obedience (under adverse
conditions that he had not experienced while in heaven as the Logos) by the
things which he suffered; and being made perfect (as a New Creation), he
became the author of eternal salvation (first for the Church, and secondly, for the
balance of mankind during the Millennial Age) unto all them that obey him,” Heb
5:8,9. It was the Sin Offering that enabled our Lord Jesus to be raised out of
death as a spirit being, because by it, He proved himself obedient, loyal, worthy.
Both the ransom sacrifice and the Sin Offering of Jesus concluded with his death
upon the cross.
Jesus was raised out of death as a Divine Spirit, while his humanity, his fleshly
body remained in the death state as Adam’s substitute. We read in John 6:51, “I
am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this
bread (appropriate the merit of Jesus’ sacrifice unto themselves), he shall live
forever (both the heavenly inheritors, “stars of heaven,” and the earthly
inheritors, “sand upon the seashore,” will live everlastingly if they fully conform to
the purpose of which Jesus died- that they might have life by becoming obedient
unto God’s righteous Law, Mat 22:36-40): and the bread that I will give is my
flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” Bread eaten does not exist
again. It is gone, and so will be the flesh of Jesus, which he voluntarily gave for
the world to have life, that is, initially, come out from under Adam’s death

sentence for those few who will pass through the upcoming time of trouble, which
closes this present evil world; and for those who entered into death, they come
forth from their grave, John 5:28,29. We read also in 1 Cor 15:45, “And so it is
written, ‘The first man Adam was made a living soul’ (Gen 2:7); the last Adam
(Jesus) a quickening spirit.” The first man Adam gave to his posterity a tainted
life because of sin, whereas the second Adam (life-giver) will be Jesus who will
give true life to all who fully believe unto the necessary transformation of life unto
holiness.
From the Old Testament we read a synopsis of God’s overall plan:
“This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be
created (the New Creation of the Gospel Age) shall praise the LORD.
For He hath looked down from the height of His sanctuary; from heaven did the
LORD behold the earth;
to hear the groaning of the prisoner (because of sin);
to loose those that are appointed to death (in Adam all die);
to declare the name of the LORD in Zion (spiritual Israel), and His praise in
Jerusalem (fleshly Israel);
when the people are gathered together (having come out of death), and the
kingdoms (nations), to serve the LORD.” Psalm 102:18-22
Feast of Tabernacles
The Feast of Tabernacles is a reminder “that your generations may know that I
made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the
land of Egypt,” Lev 23:43. The huts of branches were temporary dwelling places,
just as were the tents of Israel in the wilderness. The Spirit begotten individuals
of the Gospel Age dwell here upon the earth temporarily, ready to move at the
Spirit’s leading. We sojourn here, even as Abraham sojourned in the land that
was promised, not having yet received it as his inheritance from God. See Acts
7:5.
Feast of Ingathering
The Feast of Ingathering in the seventh month coincides with the observance of
the Feast of Tabernacles. This feast celebrates the completion of the harvest of
the field, “in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labors out of the
field,” Exo 23:16. Exodus 23:16 seems to specifically state that the gathering is
out of the field wherein grain was first sown then harvested; whereas, in Lev
23:39 we read, “Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have
gathered in the fruit (H8393-income, that is produce) of the land, ye shall keep a
feast unto the LORD seven days….” From this text we understand the fruit to
include grapes and olives in addition to the grain of the field.

This feast celebrates the completion of the gathering of the Bride of Christ unto
himself. They are represented by the firstfruits of wheat, Lev 23:17, Exo 34:22.
They are represented as part of the vine, the branches, John 15:1,5. They are
recipients of the Holy Spirit which enables them to see, to understand the deep
things of God, which light was cast by the lampstand in the Holy from the seven
lamps, fueled by olive oil. See Exo: 25:31-39; 27:20; 40:1-4. This feast tells all
the Israelites that the High Calling of God in Christ Jesus has been completed, the
harvest is finished. This means the Church number of 144,000 is complete, and
it means that the balance of those who failed to achieve that prize have been led
into the wilderness as the live goat to finish their sacrifices under great tribulation
(Lev 16:20-22; Rev 7:9-17). This feast is truly a celebration of the victory of the
Church of the living God over the flesh, over the Adversary and over the world!

which God placed upon him. Adam’s offspring are included because they were in
his loins. What befell him, befell them. That ransom sacrifice requires the fleshly
body of the man Christ Jesus to be forever dead to take Adam’s place in his
penalty. The Sin Offering is the arrangement that God provided that enabled
Jesus to receive the Holy Spirit at Jordan, which was a begetting of him to the
Divine nature, which he did NOT have, John 5:26. His subsequent three and one
half years life of submission to God’s arrangements, a sacrifice voluntarily made,
prepared Jesus to be the Church’s Advocate during the Gospel Age and the future
Mediator for the balance of mankind. Thus we read, “Though he (Jesus) were a
Son (and a perfect one at that!), yet he learned obedience (under adverse
conditions that he had not experienced while in heaven as the Logos) by the
things which he suffered; and being made perfect (as a New Creation), he
became the author of eternal salvation (first for the Church, and secondly, for the
balance of mankind during the Millennial Age) unto all them that obey him,” Heb
5:8,9. It was the Sin Offering that enabled our Lord Jesus to be raised out of
death as a spirit being, because by it, He proved himself obedient, loyal, worthy.
Both the ransom sacrifice and the Sin Offering of Jesus concluded with his death
upon the cross.
Jesus was raised out of death as a Divine Spirit, while his humanity, his fleshly
body remained in the death state as Adam’s substitute. We read in John 6:51, “I
am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this
bread (appropriate the merit of Jesus’ sacrifice unto themselves), he shall live
forever (both the heavenly inheritors, “stars of heaven,” and the earthly
inheritors, “sand upon the seashore,” will live everlastingly if they fully conform to
the purpose of which Jesus died- that they might have life by becoming obedient
unto God’s righteous Law, Mat 22:36-40): and the bread that I will give is my
flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” Bread eaten does not exist
again. It is gone, and so will be the flesh of Jesus, which he voluntarily gave for
the world to have life, that is, initially, come out from under Adam’s death

sentence for those few who will pass through the upcoming time of trouble, which
closes this present evil world; and for those who entered into death, they come
forth from their grave, John 5:28,29. We read also in 1 Cor 15:45, “And so it is
written, ‘The first man Adam was made a living soul’ (Gen 2:7); the last Adam
(Jesus) a quickening spirit.” The first man Adam gave to his posterity a tainted
life because of sin, whereas the second Adam (life-giver) will be Jesus who will
give true life to all who fully believe unto the necessary transformation of life unto
holiness.
From the Old Testament we read a synopsis of God’s overall plan:
“This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be
created (the New Creation of the Gospel Age) shall praise the LORD.
For He hath looked down from the height of His sanctuary; from heaven did the
LORD behold the earth;
to hear the groaning of the prisoner (because of sin);
to loose those that are appointed to death (in Adam all die);
to declare the name of the LORD in Zion (spiritual Israel), and His praise in
Jerusalem (fleshly Israel);
when the people are gathered together (having come out of death), and the
kingdoms (nations), to serve the LORD.” Psalm 102:18-22
Feast of Tabernacles
The Feast of Tabernacles is a reminder “that your generations may know that I
made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the
land of Egypt,” Lev 23:43. The huts of branches were temporary dwelling places,
just as were the tents of Israel in the wilderness. The Spirit begotten individuals
of the Gospel Age dwell here upon the earth temporarily, ready to move at the
Spirit’s leading. We sojourn here, even as Abraham sojourned in the land that
was promised, not having yet received it as his inheritance from God. See Acts
7:5.
Feast of Ingathering
The Feast of Ingathering in the seventh month coincides with the observance of
the Feast of Tabernacles. This feast celebrates the completion of the harvest of
the field, “in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labors out of the
field,” Exo 23:16. Exodus 23:16 seems to specifically state that the gathering is
out of the field wherein grain was first sown then harvested; whereas, in Lev
23:39 we read, “Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have
gathered in the fruit (H8393-income, that is produce) of the land, ye shall keep a
feast unto the LORD seven days….” From this text we understand the fruit to
include grapes and olives in addition to the grain of the field.

This feast celebrates the completion of the gathering of the Bride of Christ unto
himself. They are represented by the firstfruits of wheat, Lev 23:17, Exo 34:22.
They are represented as part of the vine, the branches, John 15:1,5. They are
recipients of the Holy Spirit which enables them to see, to understand the deep
things of God, which light was cast by the lampstand in the Holy from the seven
lamps, fueled by olive oil. See Exo: 25:31-39; 27:20; 40:1-4. This feast tells all
the Israelites that the High Calling of God in Christ Jesus has been completed, the
harvest is finished. This means the Church number of 144,000 is complete, and
it means that the balance of those who failed to achieve that prize have been led
into the wilderness as the live goat to finish their sacrifices under great tribulation
(Lev 16:20-22; Rev 7:9-17). This feast is truly a celebration of the victory of the
Church of the living God over the flesh, over the Adversary and over the world!
