Sabbath 22/03/39/120

Dear Friends,

From the year 63 CE after the Sabbath of 62-63 a prophet was raised up and James the Just, bishop of Jerusalem, head of the Church and the brother of Jesus Christ was martyred in accordance with God’s Prophecy of the Seventy Weeks of Years given to Daniel and we see it in Daniel chapter 9.  The text of the KJV in 9:25 is a mistranslation.  There were two messiahs referred to in the text.  The first anointed one was Nehemiah governor of Judah after Seven weeks of years and the other was Jacob or James  brother of Christ cut off but not for himself at the 69th week of years. The sequence is explained in the paper The Sign of Jonah and the History of the Reconstruction of the Temple (No. 13).

God began to warn the Church and the tribe of Judah from this time.  The Church knew that at the death of James the Temple was to be destroyed in the ensuing seven and one half years.  Clophas, whose wife was Maria sister of Mariam and aunt of Christ, was elected bishop in James’ place but died that year of advanced age and was replaced by his son Simon, cousin of Messiah.  The Church then went to Pella and was safe for the remaining seven years or so. They knew what to expect from the prophecy of Daniel.  The Nation did not understand and so God raised the prophet who was a shepherd and whose name coincidentally was Jesus son of Ananus. God then through the Holy Spirit began to move the people with warnings, or forebodings, of things to come.

Similar feelings are being experienced now among the peoples not of the Church of God and they are speaking of these things. These wave feelings are experienced and described thus.

These matters are not spoken of in the Bible texts but rather were recorded by Josephus in Wars of the Jews, VI, 5, 3. These activities began on the 8th day of Xanthicus or Nisan when the crowds began to gather at the Temple after the Fast of 7 Abib or Nisan. Quoted in Wars, the text states that on the ninth hour of that night a great light shone around the Temple and it appeared as day for an half an hour. The scribes of the Temple identified it as a sign of impending disaster. The questionable account stated that the heifer brought into the temple brought forth a lamb as it was brought to be slain. The heavy brass Eastern Gate of the Inner Court was destablised and was seen to be opened up of its own accord at the sixth hour of the night whereas it required twenty men to open it normally.

The scribes once again understood it to be a portent of doom, even though it was part of the purification ritual of the Temple. The fast was held there on 7 Abib, which was identical with Xanthicus in the Temple period and thus was not of any connection with the Babylonian Intercalations. On the 8th the people gathered for the Passover.

Later on the 21st Day of the second month Iyar, identical with the month Artemesius, at the end of the Second Passover period and thus the end of the time for repentance there were signs in the heavens. Before sunset troops of chariots and soldiers were seen running around in the clouds.

Then at Pentecost (not Hillel)  as the priests were going at night into the inner court (probably of the priests) an earthquake and a feeling of great movement was felt and heard and a noise was heard as a multitude saying “let us remove from hence.” More importantly Jesus the son of Ananus, a plebeian, was heard from Pentecost then four years before the fall of the Temple in 70 CE i.e. in 66 CE the middle of the 70th week of years foretold in Daniel 9:25 ff warning of the horrors to come and even though he was flogged he continued to prophesy making no complaint to those that beat him everyday nor praise to those that gave him food. He continued with the cry “Woe, Woe, to Jerusalem.”

This mirrored the time of the last days when the Two Witnesses will come 1264 days before the Messiah and the Vials of the Wrath of God and confront the world with the evils of the last days and their rule.

The prophet continued in his refrain from the death of James in 63 CE for seven years and five months going around the city until it was completely destroyed by Atonement of the Seventh Month 70 CE and the people destroyed with it at the end of the siege and the Wars of the Jews (see War with Rome and the Fall of the Temple (No. 298)). This period will complete the Wars of the Last Days and the Vials of the Wrath of God (No. 141B).

The last days will begin with the warnings and we have given those warnings now in accordance with God’s direction in Jeremiah 4:15-16 to warn the nations that the Messiah is coming since 1994. The thirty year period will end in 2024 before the treble harvest (see the paper The Warning of the Last Days (No.44)). He will take up his position after the death of the Witnesses in Jerusalem. That will be after their warning of 1260 days, and then their lying in the streets dead for 3.5 days and on the morning of the fourth day they will be resurrected by Messiah along with the rest of the elect of the Church.  They will be taken to Jerusalem with the dead who are resurrected. On the resurrection, with those alive, all will be translated and taken to Jerusalem. The Holy Spirit will prepare the Church over the period of the 1264 days and then the entire planet will be warned over the 1264 days.  Then the demons will be imprisoned in the pit of Tartaros. Then over the period of the Vials of the Wrath of God the earth will be taken captive. By the treble harvest before the Jubilee the earth will be subjugated.  It will not be peaceful.

God has spoken about our people. Our task is written as follows: 15For a voice declares from Dan and proclaims evil from Mount E'phraim. 16Warn the nations that he is coming; announce to Jerusalem,
"Besiegers come from a distant land; they shout against the cities of Judah (Jer. 4:15-16).

It is written “The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with dressed stone; the fig trees have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars.” (Isa. 9:10)

Eccl. 1:9 says: what has been will be again, there is nothing new under the sun. The actions before the fall of the Temple will be repeated as a sequence again now.

Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD.

Mark 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4  3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Mat. 24:4-8 4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you .5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Deuteronomy 28:49-52 49 “The LORD shall bring a nation against you from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue you shall not understand; 50A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favour to the young: 51And he shall eat the fruit of your cattle, and the fruit of your land, until you be destroyed: which also shall not leave you either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of your kine, or flocks of your sheep, until he have destroyed you. 52 And he shall besiege you in all your gates, until your high and fenced walls come down, wherein you trusted, throughout all your land: and he shall besiege you in all your gates throughout all your land, which the LORD your God has given you.”

Do not be dismayed at what troubles are before us.  Our salvation is the goal that stands before us.
