Promised land prophecy

Intro

This is a possible interpretation of end times prophecies.

Chain of events

Israel 2000 year long punishment ends.

Hosea 6:1-2 KJV
[1] Come, and let us return unto the Lord : for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. [2] After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

(II Peter 3:8 [KJV]) But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Zechariah 12 battle

The battle is described in Zechariah 12.

This is the battle when Israel will get its land back and become as large as the Promised land. That is from Euphrates to the Nile.

(Genesis 15:18 [KJV]) In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

Its related to Psalms 83. Its the greater Israel nations.

During this same period the two witnesses will appear (Rev 11).

The second exodus

Then comes the second exodus. This is when Gods people will return to the promised land.

(Jeremiah 23:1-9 [KJV])
 [1] Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.
 [2] Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.
 [3] And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
 [4] And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.
 [5] Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
 [6] In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
 [7] Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
 [8] But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
 [9] Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.

(Ezekiel 20:33-44 [KJV])
 [33] As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:
 [34] And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
 [35] And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.
 [36] Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.
 [37] And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:
 [38] And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
 [39] As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.
 [40] For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.
 [41] I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen.
 [42] And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to your fathers.
 [43] And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled; and ye shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.
 [44] And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have wrought with you for my name’s sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

Jeremiah 17

The second exodus is called the harvest in Matthew 13.

(Matthew 13:30 [KJV]) Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Daughter of Babylon destroyed

Harvest.

Europe into captivity.

The Lord is going to destroy all the nations that he scattered the Jews into (parts of Asia, whole of Europe, North America, whole of central america and whole of south america).

I am not sure exactly when this event happens with Jeremiah 30.

Ezekiel’s temple

(Ezekiel 37:26-28 [KJV])
 [26] Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
 [27] My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
 [28] And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

So God is going to place his sanctuary in the midst of his believers. This temple is not built by man, God puts it down.

The great falling away

(II Thessalonians 2:3-4 [KJV])
 [3] Let 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;
 [4] Who 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.

The great falling away is also mentioned in Ezekiel 8, Ezekiel 9, Ezekiel 10 and Ezekiel 11.

The day of the Lord

The Day of the Lord happens in Zechariah 14 also mentioned in Ezekiel 38 and Ezekiel 39.

Israel peace forever

The glory of the god of Israel goes back into the temple and Israel has peace forever.

(Ezekiel 37:25-28 [KJV])
 [25] And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
 [26] Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
 [27] My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
 [28] And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

Feast of tabernacle

The nations have to go to observe the feast of tabernacle and they are not going to do it so they are not going to get any rain.

Feast of tabernacle is mentioned in Zechariah 14:16,18,19.

The beast

The nations get their delusion. Its going to be the beast mentioned in Revelation 13. The beast comes up out of the sea and takes the seat of satan and sits in his seat at Pergamus which is by the sea in Cyprus.

(Revelation of John 2:8-17 [KJV])
 [8] And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
 [9] I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
 [10] Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
 [11] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
 [12] And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
 [13] I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
 [14] But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
 [15] So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
 [16] Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
 [17] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

This is also where Mystery Babylon is, at Pergamus.

This is also where the two witnesses are killed, at Pergamus.

Tribulation

Antichrist is going to sit in the temple really means that the Antichrist is going to show himself to be superior to all gods and sit in all temples. This is part of the delusion and tribulation on the nations.

This does not happen in Israel. Israel has peace and the glory of God is in Ezekiel's temple.

7th day

Second coming of Christ

Jesus Christ is going to return in the year 2036 AD.

Jesus Christ ends the tribulation.

New Jerusalem

New Jerusalem up in heaven.

(Revelation of John 20:4 [KJV]) And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Some souls rule with Christ in New Jerusalem up in heaven for a thousand years.

Millenium

Peace and rest for a thousand years.

(Revelation of John 20:4-6 [KJV])
 [4] And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
 [5] But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
 [6] Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Satan let loose

(Revelation of John 20:7-10 [KJV])
 [7] And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
 [8] And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
 [9] And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
 [10] And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

8th day

The last day lasts for eternity.

Rapture

Jesus Christ says that all believers are raised up in the last day.

(John 6:39-44 [KJV])
 [39] And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
 [40] And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
 [41] The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
 [42] And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
 [43] Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
 [44] No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

And the last day is the 8th day.

This is when the rapture happens.

(I Thessalonians 4:15-17 [KJV])
 [15] For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
 [16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
 [17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

(Revelation of John 20:11-15 [KJV])
 [11] And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
 [12] And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
 [13] And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
 [14] And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
 [15] And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

This same event, the day of the Lord, which is the white throne judgement, which is the rapture, is also talked about in 2 Peter 3:

(II Peter 3:10-18 [KJV])
 [10] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
 [11] Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
 [12] Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
 [13] Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
 [14] Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
 [15] And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
 [16] As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
 [17] Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
 [18] But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

New Jerusalem on earth

New Jerusalem comes down from heaven.

(Revelation of John 21:1-2 [KJV])
 [1] And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
 [2] And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
