Four Hundred Years of Abraham’s Legacy (No. 212j)

Introduction

God called Abraham out of Ur of Chaldea and established a Covenant with him. God gave to him on that day of the Covenant (see Covenant of God (No. 152)) the lands from the Brook of Egypt to the River Euphrates (Gen 15:1-21). He also told Abraham on that day that they would be oppressed in Egypt for four hundred years.

Gen_15:13 Then the LORD said to Abram, "Know of a surety that your descendants will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, and will be slaves there, and they will be oppressed for four hundred years;

Exo_12:40 The time that the people of Israel dwelt in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.

Exo_12:41 And at the end of four hundred and thirty years, on that very day, all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.

Abram (later Abraham) was given the Law and he tithed (see No. 161) to Melchisedek the priest of the One True God. That was over 400 years before the law was given to Moses (Gen. 14:18-20). (See Melchisedek (No. 128) for details). Messiah was later to be appointed High Priest of the Temple and the creation of God after the Order of Melchisedek (Ps. 110; Heb. Ch. 8) (F019_5i).

Israel was taken out of Egypt 430 years to the date from the time their ancestors went into Egypt. The period of four hundred years of oppression of Israel in Egypt stated by God was to be used later as a test period of the blessings God had awarded to Abraham. This was to test them and to measure them for the period of the End of the Age and for their return finally under Messiah to Israel to rule the world under the Law of God over the millennial system of Rev. 20:1-6.

The Law of God was given to the Patriarchs and was restated to Israel by the Angel of the Presence through Moses at Sinai. That elohim was the being given Israel as his inheritance by Eloah, as Ha Elohim, under Deut. 32:8-9. That being was with Israel in the Wilderness and that Rock was the Christ (Acts 7:30-53; 1 Cor. 10:1-4) (F044ii) (F046ii). That fact was understood by the early church under the Apostles as we see from Acts 13:9 and Gal. 3:17.

Act_13:19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance, for about four hundred and fifty years.

Gal_3:17 This is what I mean: the law, which came four hundred and thirty years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void.

The Law at Sinai

When Israel and the Mixed Multitude arrived at Sinai, the Law was given by the Angel of the Presence to them through Moses.

However the Levites, and others, could not be trusted and they led the people into sin through idolatry and revelry to the Moon God Sin, in the idol of the Golden Calf (No. 222). For that sin Moses killed 3000 Levites involved and then went back up the mountain to receive another set of tablets of the law, because he had broken the first set in anger (see Ascents of Moses (No. 070)). In every case of collective sin in Israel the priesthood and ministries were the root cause of that sin, and it has been so over the entire period of its existence in all its tribes no matter where located. Only the sons of Zadok, in Levi, have proved faithful over time and they will minister in the Temple in the Millennium (see Commentary on Ezekiel F026ix, x, xi, xii).

Once they had been given the Law, Israel was then given a test of faith to enter the Promised Land. The twelve spies were sent out and only two of the twelve had the courage and faith to recommend they take up occupation. Ten did not, and through that cowardice and lack of faith, they were then consigned to a generation of forty years in the wilderness. This lesson was to stand witness against them and symbolised the forty Jubilees of the later dispersion.

The Captivity

After conquering the Promised Land, Israel sinned continuously. In order that they might spread abroad and inherit the full promises and the inheritance of Abraham and fulfil the Plan of God in the Plan of Salvation (No. 001A) as the Vineyard of God (see ##001B and 001C), they were sent into captivity under the Assyrians in 722 BCE. That was to fulfil the Plan of God outlined in the Law and the Prophets and especially in the Psalms (F019_1, 2, 3, 4, 5i, ii, iii). The Kingdom was split after Solomon (see 282C; 282D; 282E). That was so that Judah might be kept separate and thus complete the prophecies regarding the Messiah at the planned time. Judah also sinned badly and they were sent into captivity to Babylon in 597 BCE (No. 250B) and then restored to the Holy Land to enable the birth of Messiah at Bethlehem Ephratah. Due to Judah (incl. Benjamin) and Levi's continued sin they were finally sent into captivity under Rome to enable the formation of the church. Judah was then dispersed permanently in 70 CE under the Sign of Jonah (No. 013). The physical Temple was destroyed at that time (see War with Rome and the Fall of the Temple (No. 298)). See also Judah (No. 212E).

Israel was sent, by the Assyrians, into the North beyond the Araxes River and the tribes were merged with the Hittite Celts in the area of what became Northern Parthia. After the formation of the churches under the Christ, the apostles were sent into Parthia, to reach the Ten Tribes of Israel (see Nos. 122. 122D and also 212F) as well as the scattered Jews in Asia. At the fall of the Parthian Empire in the Second Century CE, the entire horde of Israel and its Celtic brothers, with which they had merged, moved Northwest into NW Europe and spread out from there, and into Britain and Scandinavia. God had already established a church in Britain from Christ's ordination of the Seventy and the movement of Linus to Rome and Aristobulus to Britain (see Nos. 122D; 266)

Undermining of the Churches

The churches were undermined from Rome through the Quartodeciman Disputes (No. 277) and the Unitarian/Trinitarian Wars (No. 268). The churches in Britain were undermined through the military power of the Angles who were converted to Catholicism at the request of their Queen, the wife of Ethelbert. She was a French princess who requested the pope to send a Catholic Bishop to Britain. There were no Roman Catholic bishops or clergy in Britain as of that time. Rome sent Augustine (later of Canterbury) in 597 CE, and he baptised (sprinkled) 10,000 Angles at the midwinter fires in Kent.

In 663 CE a synod was held at Whitby at Hilda's Abbey and the Celtic church, which kept the original Christian Sabbatarian Quartodeciman Doctrines, was forced to convert to Roman Catholic Doctrines by force of arms. Catholicism was spread by force through Europe by the power of the Franks and Normans with persecution (see Nos 122 and 170).

The Sabbatarian Churches of God were forced underground from that time, by persecution, through to the beginning of the Reformation. The demand eventually came from all people in Europe to have the Bible available in their own language and so the Trinitarians were no longer able to suppress the Bible understanding. So they designed to forge the texts in what became the Textus Receptus and then translated the forgeries into the trade languages, English being the major one. The KJV was the result. That text is full of forgeries, alterations and mistranslations and they are explained in Nos 164F and 164G. The KJV etc. will be exhibits in museums during the Millennium. In spite of their effort, the Trinitarians failed to stop the Bible coming into Britain and also could not conceal the major intent of Scripture and thus the Reformation began.

Ireland had remained fairly free of Roman Catholic Domination. After the Normans had taken over Britain and established feudal control and worship there from 1066, the Norman controlled church became more feudal and, in the Twelfth Century, the Sodomites took over the church and introduced celibacy and other aberrations. Married clergy were no longer permitted and the deaconesses were expunged and the females were turned into slaves and housed there in what were previously free and open abbeys. The churches entered their darkest days and knowledge was suppressed. For example, Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was declared a heretic by the pope in the Middle Ages for declaring that the earth was a sphere and revolved around the sun. He supported the Copernican Theory from 1616. He was investigated by the Roman Inquisitor Cardinal Robert Bellarmine. In 1633 he was confined to permanent house arrest. He is still a heretic to this day due to the Nineteenth Century Doctrine of papal infallibility.

When the Englishman Nicholas Breakspeare was elected pope in the Twelfth century, and became Adrian IV, he gave Ireland to England under Henry II and sanctioned the elimination of Sabbatarianism from Ireland. That repression later extended to Scotland under the Atheling's daughter Margaret and the Sabbatarian Churches were completely suppressed. Sabbatarian doctrines for Sabbath worship were transferred to Sunday in Scotland and today few really understand why that was so, or that they were once Sabbatarians.

The Trinitarians tried to suppress the Reformation and they did kill a large number of people over the Thirteenth to the Sixteenth centuries in Britain and Ireland and all over Europe. It ceased to be a capital offence to deny the Trinity by 1625 in UK. Four hundred years from that date in 2026, will see the false religions of the world begin to be eradicated from the face of the earth (The Inquisition in Britain, Forty Decades for Repentance (No. 290B) (see also Nos. 122 and 170). At the end of the 1500s The Reformation had reached control in Britain, but the Sabbatarians were persecuted and the churches in Surrey were forced to flee to the Netherlands and seek protection in Holland. With the discovery of North America and the claim by the UK as a colony they decided to establish a Sabbatarian colony there. They chartered the ships Mayflower and the Speedwell. However, the Speedwell began taking on water and the flotilla had to put back to England where they all transhipped to the Mayflower. They then left from Plymouth for the Massachusetts’ Bay colony and landed at Plymouth Rock, so named for their point of departure. Their story is all contained in the text The Dutch Connection of the Pilgrim Fathers (No. 264).

The colony was established there and, in spite of the misfortunes at Jamestown Virginia, God blessed the colony of the Sabbath-keeping Pilgrim Fathers. After the initial struggles over two years, God blessed them, and they held their first thanksgiving service on 29 November 1623 by order of their then governor and magistrate William Bradford.

The significance of this festival is that it was exactly four hundred years ago this November (2023). The group establishing it was part of the True Church of God placing it there in the true faith under the true doctrines. God honoured that act as He honoured the colonies established from the UK and other elements of Israel all around the world. The colonisation by the various tribes of Israel extended the blessings of Abraham to Israel all around the world, and through those blessings, to the nations of the world who were to be blessed and brought into the inheritance of Christ under the Covenant of God through the Body of Christ (see Gen. 48:14-22).

The main problem is that, although God bestowed the blessings on Israel, for the exact same time He had placed them in Egypt under persecution, to strengthen them, they showed that over the period of their blessings that they had become so infected with false doctrine and false religious systems, that they had corrupted themselves almost entirely and could not be trusted with anything that God had told them to do under the Covenant within the Law and the Testimony (Rev. 12:17; 14:12). Christianity in its various forms and sects has rejected God's Law and has embraced Antinomianism, holding to the view that Christians are released by grace from the obligation of observing the moral Law of God as enumerated in the Ten Commandments and the Pentateuch (No. 164E). The Trinitarians swamped the efforts of the Sabbatarians there and everywhere else. That was to cost the people their place in the First Resurrection (No. 143A). So also were they penetrated by Witchcraft and the occult as we see today from their festivals (e.g. Easter, Halloween and Christmas) (see CB097; No. 235). Very little of that can be rectified as most are dead. Only those alive can repent. The rest are in the Second Resurrection (No. 143B).

Israel was taken out of Egypt and had Christ, as the Angel of the Presence, instruct Moses (see No. 098) and give them the Law of God (L1) and the Covenant (No. 152). In the same way the blessings promised by God to Abraham were now conferred on Israel, and the other sons of Abraham, without regard to their merit. They were given the blessings over a 400-year period to equal the period they spent in Egypt under servitude.

This time the tribes will not be permitted their weak and faithless behaviour that saw them waste forty years in the wilderness as an example to us all. We have already spent forty jubilees (fifty-year periods) in the wilderness, i.e. over the last two thousand years from the formation, by Christ, of the church in 27 CE. We will now be placed in captivity over the next four years and sent into captivity under Christ back to the Promised Land (Isa. Chs. 65-66 F023xvi).

We are now in such a state of sin under Satan's false doctrines, propagated by the religious systems of the Sun and Mystery cults, that we will have set the conditions for the final wars of the end. In those wars, of the Fifth and the Sixth Trumpets, which are already upon us, as humans under Satan's control, we have now commenced to wipe out the human race. That will be under the control of the demons that we have given ourselves to in defiance of God. Over the next twelve months we will have undergone the war of the Sixth Trumpet and continued to die from these Genocidal “Vaccine” side effects and MRNA weapons of mass destruction the Globalists have infiltrated, and enforced, among us. The US armed forces have just realised how insane they have been and they are attempting to reinstate the unvaxxed soldiers with full pay, as the vaxxed are dropping dead everywhere with deadly side effects. The Airline industry is now seeking unvaxxed pilots to stop their planes from falling out of the air and the hospitals need the unvaxxed to man their hospitals everywhere. Litigation is now underway against the criminal big pharma corporations and the countries and politicians that enable the genocide, regardless of political affiliation. Every nation has succumbed to the deception of Pharmakeia as prophesied in Rev. 18:23. Executions will begin soon if they have not already begun. Pfizer has instituted proceedings against Poland for refusing to take and pay for more of their Covid “vaccines”.

The wars will kill over half the world's population (see No. 141C) and then God will intervene. He will send the Witnesses, in power, to the Temple Mount for 1260 days and they will begin to deal with mankind (see No. 141D).

Over the 1260 days they will restore the Nexus of the Law and they will enforce the Calendar of God (No. 156), as it was conducted in the Temple system. The New Moons and Sabbaths will be restored (No. 158). From then on those people not keeping the true Sabbaths, New Moons and Holy Days will come under capital punishment (Isa. 66:23-24). They will act according to the law and with no postponements and heretical games that Judah and Levi played with the Hillel Calendar Abomination (see Nos. 195, 195C).

The Witnesses will summon the heads of Judah and Levi and they will begin to deal with them. They will be corrected and brought to repentance under the power of God. These men will bring down fire from heaven and stop the rains and inflict the plagues of Egypt at their will. There will be nowhere to hide.

Timeline of the four years 2024-2028.

The four hundred years was up at 17 Chislev (29 Nov. 2023). and by 24 Chislev (6 Dec. 2023) we are again back considering the events of 7 December 1917 fulfilling Habakkuk (F035) and Haggai (F037).

We will now see the War of the Sixth Trumpet develop into the nuclear exchanges and the Empire of the Beast emerge full blown (No 299A). The Empire of the Beast will then turn and crush the Religious Whore (299B). God will then intervene and send the Witnesses (Rev. 11:3-13). The Witnesses (No. 135) will then arrive on the Temple Mount for 1260 Days (No. 141D). Over that period and for the 42 Months of the Beast they will deal with the entire world to enforce the Nexus of the Law and enforce the Plagues of Egypt. During that period there will be no rain for the period of their ministry and prophecy, except as they direct.

God's Plan for Judah

When the Witnesses land on the Temple Mount they will have specific instructions for Judah and also Israel and the World. What these are can be deduced from the Bible Texts. The latter prophets from Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel and the Twelve Prophets from Hosea to Malachi all carry specific details as to what can be expected of Messiah and the Host in the Last Days (No. 192), including these Two Witnesses of Rev. 11:3-13. This is the Second woe and the people of the earth seek to kill, and eventually do kill, these two prophets on the afternoon of the 1260^th day. The people of the world will rejoice over their death and host parties celebrating their death. The Witnesses will lie dead in the streets for 3.5 days and they will not be permitted to be buried and then on the morning of the Fourth day, the 1264^th since they arrived on the Temple Mount, Messiah will arrive on the Mount of Olives and there will be a massive earthquake.

Over the 1260 days the Witnesses will address Judah, Levi and Benjamin and all Israel and the entire world. God will pour His spirit out on Palestine and all those in Palestine will be affected. Those who say they are Jews and are not, which comprise 91% of all Judaism (see No. 212E)) will be addressed specifically as will all the Rabbinical class.

These Jews and pseudo-Jews will be faced with the sins of Judaism and Talmud, and the sins of Hillel, and the fact that no one in Judah obeys God, and their Hillel Calendar is designed to ensure that Judah never keeps a day on the correct Sabbath, New Moon or Feast Day except by accident when they cannot avoid it. The rabbinical class will commence to suffer the plagues of Egypt and die. There are Satanists among them, and these will be targeted and weeded out for destruction.

Judah will also be faced with the removal of all idolaters and Trinitarian priests in Jerusalem. All of them over the period up to the arrival of Messiah and the Host will be removed as we see from the text. Messiah and the Host will remove 7,000 when they arrive. There will be many more die over the 1260 days of the Witnesses.

Palestine in Israel

God gave Abraham the blessings under the Covenant and God placed the boundaries of Israel from Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea through Tyre and Sidon to the Euphrates River east to the Arabian desert and then south encompassing all of the sons of Lot, both Moab and Ammon down through Edom and the areas of Midian with the borders of Jordan and the River of Egypt which will move south by 66 km in the earthquake at the return of Messiah. The Palestinians will be sent in under Messiah and the entire lands and the world will be governed from Jerusalem. The entire system will be placed under the Law of God and its calendar, as it was in the Temple system (see No. 156). Judaism, Christianity and Islam will be cleansed of all idolatrous influences, in all the three religions and the doctrines harmonised as they were in the First Century CE. They will stamp out Hillel and the Talmud, Trinitarianism etc. the Hadith and Shia and the Sharia. They will return to the original Messianic doctrines, and they will be at peace, for almost the entire thousand years. Anyone not keeping the Sabbaths and New Moons will die (Isa. 66:23-24). The doctrines of the three aberrant branches will be exhibits in Museums to show the insanity Satan wreaked upon the whole world. Then we will face the Second Resurrection (No. 143B). (See also God's Calendar (No. 156); the Sabbath in the Koran (No. 274); Hebrew and Islamic Calendar Reconciled (053); The Juma'ah: Preparing for the Sabbath (No. 285) and The Origins of Christmas and Easter (No. 235).)

The Palestinians will cease their terrorism and that will begin from the current onslaught of Hamas; and in the near future the NATO forces of the King of the North will move into Israel and occupy Gaza from the sea to Jerusalem (Dan. 11:45). Iran, Syria and Hezbollah and Gaza will all be punished and Iran will, in the end, invite the final assault against it (see F017B), and the destruction of those in the region associated with it (see also Isaiah Chs. 15-25 (F023iv, v, vi)). God prophesies, in the Oracle Against Damascus in Ch. 17, which foretells the destruction of Damascus, which is to occur over these Last Days in the wars now occurring.

The period of the entire subjugation by the Beast system of the world is listed in Daniel (see Dan. Chs. 2 (F027ii); 11 (F027xi) 12 (F027xii, F027xiii)). The critical period is over 1335 days ending in Messiah's subjugation of the world. The world will then be run from Jerusalem for 1000 years (Rev. 20:4-6). The Demons will be placed in Tartaros at the return of Messiah. The Sun and Mystery Cults and all false religion will be removed from the face of the earth (see End of False Religion (No. 141F)).

Egypt and the areas south will be reorganised around a trading area (Isa. 19:1-22) and the areas north of the Euphrates will be placed under control of Assyria and will be the third part of a trading block (Isa. 19:23-25).

The area, and the world, will be subject to the Messiah and the resurrected Patriarchs and Prophets, the Apostles and the Elect (No. 001) of the First Resurrection, which will include the elect of Islam from Qasim and the elders of the church including Kadijha, and the Rightly Guided Caliphs. They will all enforce the Temple Calendar on pain of death (Isa. 66:23-24). India and Asia will cease all facets of religion not based on the Law and the Testimony. The Chinese New Year will be set back again to what it was before the Chinese left the Middle East ca. 1800 BCE to settle in the bend of the Yellow River Ca 24^th to 23^rd centuries BCE after the dispersion following Babel (see Mysticism (B7_8)). Choy Yat will be again Sabbaths in the worship of the One True God, each New Moon.

The world will then be at peace and the body of Israel will be identified and all sent back to Jerusalem and the nation and re-established under Messiah as prophesied under Isaiah Chs. 65-66. The nations of the world will send their representatives to Jerusalem at the Feast of Tabernacles each year for directions and if they do not keep the feasts under the Law and the Calendar (see No. 156G), they will get no rain in due season and suffer the plagues of Egypt (Zech. 14:16-21).

No one not keeping the Law and the Temple Calendar (including all Sabbaths and New Moons) will be alive at the beginning of the Millenium.
