Them bones them bones them dry bones.

Hadn’t looked at it like that.

I hope heaven won’t be a disappointment when you get there and have to endure an eternity of fellowship with loons!

True- however it is the first time in human history that a nation such as Israel has been miraculously reconstituted after almost two thousand years, (Exactly as the Hebrew prophets predicted) and it is also the first time in human history where literally “All nations” on earth can sit in a single body and “cast lots” to determine the fate of God’s people,(The UN).

They did that in 1948 - why has nothing happened in the intervening 62 years?

Throw in a meteorite and a crippling Volcanic ash cloud, and I would say, “To Him who has ears to hear, let Him hear!”

Were you shouting the same thing when Mt. St. Helens blew up? Or Pinatubo, which was a MUCH more catastrophic event than this one? And this was hardly the first bright meteor of the last 62 years - meteors enter the atmosphere constantly, and we get meteors of this size/brightness at least once per year.

So why is THIS time different? For that matter, why is "this" time *always* different with you people, and how do you manage to immediately forget all the previous predictions that didn't pan out, even though *that* time was different. Do you have any idea how thoroughly this stuff discredits Christianity in the eyes of people who pay attention to it?

I have no problem with futurists in general in this regard. But every time you Chicken Littles predict that it's just around the corner, a few more people decide that Christians are all idiots.

The Bible tells us that when Israel becomes a nation again, that generation will not pass without seeing the return of Messiah.

That was 1948-We are in the countdown.

Bible prophecy tells of a world ruler who will demand allegiance to him AS God, and that allegiance will be shown by a mark either on the forhead or right hand, without no man shall be able to buy or sell.

Never before today, has technology allowed a completely cashless society, where a person could buy or sell simply by bank transactions, from a chip implanted in their body. The technology is there, and the powers that be want to use it- SOON.

The Bible tells us of a coming war, of a coalition army of what are today muslim nations, that will futily attack Israel. Daily, in the news there are stories of one muslim leader or another verbally attacking Israel. Once allied or friendly muslim nations are increasingly retreating from or turning their backs on Israel.

The Bible tells us the the World will hate Israel, and finally gather to attack her.

Israels strongest ally has put a muslim sympathizing leader in place. He has done everything except openly admit hatred and opposition to Israel. As hostilities toward Israel grow daily, her one true national ally has turned its back. Israel is now ALONE. With the retreat of the US as an obvious ally, once friendly nations toward Israel will become more opposed.

I became interested in end time Bible prophecy in my teens in the mid 70's. I have watched as events have been lining up for the past 35 years. Some might discredit an occurence or 2 here and there, but when the observent view things happening over time, the map becomes clear and the hour glass more visable.

No man knows the day or hour of the Lords return. But just like prophecy fortelling of his first coming, the signs are there. There were people waiting and expecting then, just as there are people waiting and expecting now.

We are in the last days-not the last centuries. Time is running out for the harvest.

Looking at what I've seen in the recent past, and seeing what is happening today, and what is forming for tomorrow, I think we are VERY close to the beginning of the 7 year tribulation. MY PERSONAL belief is the beginning of the tribulation is NO MORE than 10 years out. But probably MUCH closer than that. Maybe a few years, as I watch things unfolding.

What I have noticed is things in the last 2 years, worldwide, have been speeding up. As I look back over the last 35 years, the events of 20-30 years ago were happening much slower. Today things seem to be aligning almost on a daily basis.

[Uri’el-2012]

From the YHvH commanded Feast of Trumpets in 2008
until the Feast of Trumpets 2015 is a Rabbinical sabbatical cycle.

According to the Book of Jubilees, the sabbatical cycle
is offset by two years,
beginning at the Feast of Trumpets of 2010.

The number of the Psalm maps to the 20th century.

2011 maps to Psalm 111.

Psalm 111 begins with Hallelu'yah
Psalm 112 begins with Hallelu'yah
Psalm 113 begins with Hallelu'yah

Psalm 114 does not have Hallelu'yah

Psalm 115 ends with Hallelu'yah
Psalm 116 ends with Hallelu'yah,
Psalm 117 ends with Hallelu'yah

It appears to be a menorah without YHvH as the servant lamp !

A seven year period without YHvH at the center ( anti-christ ? )

Psalm 118 is Messianic.

We are given three score and ten years.(Psalm 90:10)
Threescore and ten years for Israel is 2018.

During this Sabbatical cycle as is spelled out in Joel, Acts and Revelation,
there will be Solar and Lunar Eclipses on YHvH commanded Feast Days.

Joel2:31 "The sun will be turned into darkness
And the moon into blood
Before the great and awesome day of YHvH comes.

Acts 2:20 'THE SUN WILL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS
AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD, BEFORE THE GREAT AND
GLORIOUS DAY OF YHvH SHALL COME.

21 'AND IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE WHO CALLS
ON THE NAME OF YHvH WILL BE SAVED.'

Revelation 6:12 I looked when He broke the sixth seal,
and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became
black as sackcloth made of hair,
and the whole moon became like blood;

See: This link:
Solar and Lunar Eclipses in 2014/15

and this link and video

The most likely date for the rapture is the Feast of Trumpets
of 2010 as I believe that the anti-Christ
will commit the abomination of desolation
at Pesach of 2014 which is 3 1/2 years
into the seven year cycle.

There are plans, architectural blue prints, already made for the rebuilding.

Tools, furniture, and objects, for use in the temple already exist and are being made.

There is a block of stone already cut and set aside as the cornerstone for the new temple.

There is a group in Israel who are regularly pushing to begin building the new temple.

There are Cohenites, the lineage of Levites, NOW studying, preparing for the priesthood-something not done as little as 60 years ago.

My FRiend, the signs for a new temple to be built are already there. Events for the new temple are lining up. Your just waiting for the "official" start.

My question is, will you be satisfied with that start? Or will you then be looking for completion? As something might stop it from being built. And once built, will you be waiting for the daily sacrifice to resume? As until that happens, the temple isn't really a temple, its just a building until the sacrifice begins.

I look forward towards the laying of the cornerstone with much anticipation. It will be a visual symbol, an afirmation that Gods prophecy IS at hand.

[stormer]

LOL!

[proudtobeanamerican1]

That’s hilarious!

Do you think we can even imagine what it will be like. And why would there be any loons there? Why do you think anyone one is a loon. Would your day be as interesting or would you laugh as much if this kooky guy on youtube wasn’t spouting his beliefs?

[xjcsa]

I hope heaven won’t be a disappointment when you get there and have to endure an eternity of fellowship with loons!

Haha, not at all - they'll make for great entertainment! Hopefully we can spend some quality time poking a little fun at each other for things we were wrong about, and indulge in some good-natured gloating about areas where we were right :)

I have it on good authority the the newly formed Sanhedrin
has celebrated a Korban Pesach this past Pesach.

The first since 70 CE

An altar made from uncut stones is being assembled near Jericho.

It was dedicated this past Tisha B'av.

Tisha B'av was auspicious as it was the date of the destruction of the Temple in 70CE.

At some time in the near future the altar will be moved to the temple mount.

The first Korban Pesach was during the Exodus.

Yah'shua presented Himself as the Korban Pesach to cover our sins.

Look up ! Yah'shua is coming very soon !

In order for the Evil One
to end regular sacrifice
at the middle of the tribulation,
it must start;

Daniel 9: 26 "Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined.
27 "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate."

Daniel 11: 31 "Forces from him will arise, desecrate the sanctuary fortress, and do away with the regular sacrifice. And they will set up the abomination of desolation.

Daniel 12: 9 He said, "Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time.
10 "Many will be purged, purified and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand.
11 "From the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.
12 "How blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to the 1,335 days!

Regular Passover sacrifice has restarted after 1940 years.

The Sanhedrin has restarted the sacrifice of Lambs at Passover this year.

There is a war coming up, mentioned in Ezekiel 38 and 39. A HUGH coalition army will attack Israel. The nations listed all have one thing in common. Today they are ALL muslim nations

What makes this war different than any other war, or how we can tell that this hasn't happened already is, never before have ALL these nations attacked Israel AT ONE TIME.

Maybe individually or 2,3,4, or 5 to one. But the nations listed have never ALL ganged up at one time. Meaning its still about to happen.

Turkey, one of the few muslim nations friendly with Israel, has over the last year or so become more opposed to Israel. Relations between the 2 are very strained. And YES, Turkey is one of the nations involved in this coalition.

Back to the war in Ezekiel. A few points about this war.

Nobody defends Israel. Nope-no US intervention. I would say that the relations with the US, becoming colder and more distant, allow other nations to be more bolder against Israel.

Next, in this attack, Israel DOES NOT defend itself.

The attacking army is UTTERLY destroyed.

God says he will let Israel (and the World) know that he is Israels protector.

It is at this point that Israel really ceases to be a secular nation. It does not mean that all of Israel becomes christians, but they will begin to look for Messiah and worshiping the God of their forefathers.

Though I have read about this, reading it again has brought tears to my eyes (hard to type right now) and goose bumps to my body.

I thing that answers mman's question:

In order for the Evil One to end regular sacrifice at the middle of the tribulation, it must start;

[DManA]

So you think “regular sacrifice” counts even if it isn’t in the new Temple on the site of the old one?

[Uri’el-2012]

DMA> I think that answers mman's question:

MMan>In order for the Evil One to end regular sacrifice at the middle of the tribulation, it must start;

Amen !

The pieces of the end times puzzle are falling into place.

Look UP; the King is coming for His bride very soon.

I'm sure that the Sanhedrin believe that
it is up to YHvH to provide access to the Temple Mount.

They know that they are ready and waiting on YHvH.

[mountn man]

I think UriÂ’el's point is that with along everything I posted, sacrificing by the priests has ONCE AGAIN begun.

There is once again a Sanhedrin.

Things are moving forward for a new temple.

[Genoa]

LOL! Don’t ask me. I’m one of the loons.

[Quix]

EXCELLENT POINTS.
