It's 6 day's old but it's true A Hebrew Nation News Special Report by Bonnie Harvey
I am concerned about some things I’m seeing in Jerusalem/Israel, so I decided to go back to scripture to examine and re-examine the scripture concerning same, hoping to distinguish my thoughts from the actual words of scripture.
So, actually, what do we know from scripture regarding Israel in the last days? We know that the land will be divided (Joel 3:2) and that the Third Temple will be built, which the pseudo-Messiah will profane (Dan. 9:27, Rev. 11:1-2). The word used for “abomination” in this portion of Daniel is “shiqoots,” or, meaning “disgusting.”
Concerning this profaning, we have two examples in history of such “profaning,” the first example being the setting up of a statue of Zeus in the First Temple by Antiochus Epiphanes. The second example is of Titus having carnal knowledge of two prostitutes on the altar with a Torah scroll rolled out beneath them. Daniel was not kidding about the “disgusting” part. “Shiqoots” of the Temple is not limited to history, however, for we can see the Dome of the Rock sitting where the Temple once sat, complete with a sign announcing that Elohim has no son. Perhaps this is the greatest shiqoots in Temple history.
What else do we know about Israel in the last days? We know that Jerusalem will be a cup of staggering to all nations and that all nations will gather against her. In response, Yehovah Himself will strike them down, for Jerusalem is the apple of Yahweh’s eye.
What is Jerusalem’s part in all of this? Has she been unfairly attacked just because Yahweh loves her? Isaiah alludes to her part, her sins, and that her hardship has been/will be punishment rather than any injustice. John calls Jerusalem, i.e., “where the Lord was crucified,” “Sodom” and “Egypt.” Why would John call Jerusalem such accursed names?
What have they done or what are they doing to warrant such address? That is the focus of this article. I am raising issues for our awareness, so we know how to pray, how to interpret, and how to reckon the timeline.
The Timeline. In Daniel 9, we see the basic elements of a., a ruler who will come, strengthening a covenant (definition) c., with the “many” (rabim, rabble, nations of the world?) d., for 7 years. If we have all of these 4 elements, I urge everyone to take a serious look for this looks very much like the beginning of the 70th week of Daniel. If this is the case, the horses will soon ride globally.
What we have on our plates right now is Israel asking for a 5-7 year treaty and Obama pushing for a 7-year treaty. The Oslo Accord was signed in September of 1993 and was revoked just short of 7 years later, being signed on Elul 27 and was revoked before sundown on Elul 28 seven years later when Ariel Sharon ascended the Temple Mount to pray for the return of Israel. Here’s a Gregorian-to-Hillel converter to help with the calculations.
So, we have the element of “covenant” and the element of “7 years.” Is there any more evidence of the element of a “covenant”?
New Checkpoints. I have had contact with Steven ben Denoon, who is an Israeli citizen who lives in Israel 9 months of the year and is a Messianic Jew. He was on the Hebrew Nation Radio Thursday Morning Show on July 2, 2015, to discuss the new checkpoints and highway changes in Israel recently. He will again appear on this radio program July 23, 2015.
Steven states that for the past 4 years or so, authorities in Israel have been widening Highway 1 from Tel Aviv (the site of the main airport in Israel, Ben Gurion Airport) to Jerusalem. Now, within the past year or so, Steven reports that first the arches appeared, then the remainder of the checkpoint. He has taken pictures of the size of the electrical/electronic capability to the checkpoint, a detail that he concludes is evidence of a sophisticated, passport-checking, high-volume checkpoint.
The truly upsetting aspect of the above is that Hwy. 1 from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is completely within Jewish held, occupied, ruled, and unchallenged territory. Hitherto, checkpoints have only been established between Arab occupied and Jewish occupied parcels. Why build checkpoints between Jewish held land and a Jewish held city, Jerusalem? Is the answer simple? Does the answer reflect the decision of our own Supreme Court? Is the answer that Jerusalem has already been established as an international city, sovereign from Israel and under another’s rule and authority?
Steven reports that many Israelis are concerned, but, just like America, they’re not rebelling because they still have goods, peace, and services.
