Decide for yourselves

Brace yourself! This is more of a teaching blog than an entertaining one. It may not be an easy read because there is more here than a normal, well adjusted person would generally want to know but it will be worth it. It is the detail which makes me a boring person that brings the Bible alive for me. But if you happen to like what you read, there’s more to be found here.

Introduction

There have been two previous posts in this open-ended series. It is becoming clear that Prophecy will be the trend, and the modern State of Israel is the focus — at least so far.

The first post linked the Book of Esther to the end of the Holocaust. The incident that triggered the posts was the last statement made on the Nuremberg War Crimes gallows by a man about to drop. It occurred about a year-and-a-half prior to the declaration of the modern State of Israel.

QUEEN ESTHER AT NUREMBERG Bible written by mortal men?

The second post was a prequel to that, looking at the link between the Nazi oppression of the Jews and the the Lord’s Autumn Feasts.

AUTUMN FEASTS AND THE NAZIS Has God forgotten about Israel?

This post will finish off Autumn feast-Nazi connection and expand into formation of the Modern State of Israel. The current international situation in the Middle East is also touched on.

[DISCLOSURE: With the goings-on, both internally and externally, in Israel since 1948 it is impossible for me to say who has the moral high ground. I deal with a number of Israelis who trust Muslims more than they trust Christians. What I tell them is, “I’m not pro-Israel, I’m pro-HaShem, and He has made it obvious that He is a Zionist. Who am I to argue? That satisfies the ones who are being rocketed on an almost daily basis. Perhaps it satisfies you — perhaps not.]

The reason for writing this article remains the same

In Matthew 22:40, our Saviour gives the essence of Bible Study; learn about the Teachings and the Prophecies. Unfortunately most of the Christians I meet are Torah-fied and we have neglected Prophecy because we don’t know what has been prophesied. For what it’s worth, I see the Fulfilment of Prophecy is happening all around us — but who am I? You decide when you’ve finished reading this. That is, if you decide to read it.

The story so far

The links to the previous posts are provided above so it would be an insult to your intelligence to go over it again. If you are not interested enough to to read them you won’t get anything out of this, so why waste your time.

The previous post ended at Purim, 1946, when Hermann Göring, the highest ranking living Nazi, the successor nominated by the now-dead Hitler himself, was in the stand at Nuremberg being judged in the glare of the World.

21 Tishri

The trigger for these posts was the execution date of the Nazi Elite, 16th October, 1946 (21 Tishri 5707).

21st day of Tishri is the last day of the Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), known in Judaism as Hoshanah Rabbah (Literally, “great hosanna”). It is the day of Sukkot on which Judaism prays the refrain, “Hosha na!” ( English: “Hosanna — please save us!”) (Ref 1). It is considered the final day of the divine “judgement” in which the fate of the new year is determined. (Ref 2) It is the day when the verdict that was issued on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is finalized. The Jews have completed days of affliction. Have they been scourged enough? Will HaShem now bless them next year? Will the rain come? (Ref 3)

In the Natural, Figure 1 shows that the Hebrew year 5707 (1946–47) was a very dry year; as was 1948. However, the evidence shows that in 1947, Figure 2, the Heavens opened in a Divine Spiritual Deluge for the Nation.

Figure 1: Jerusalem rain records

Figure 2: Israel rain records vs harvests — 1946–47

During the important time of the barley harvest the UK handed the problem of the Palestinian Territories over to the UN. During the Fig harvest (the ‘sweet time’) the UN established the Ad Hoc Committee on the Palestinian Question on 23rd September 1947 — Erev Yom Kippur (Yom Kippur Eve). (Ref 4) Yom Kippur that year was 24th September. Resolution 181, Partition Plan for Palestine, was submitted on 29th November 1947 (no Jewish Festivals associated), Israel Statehood came to pass May 14th 1948.

In summary: Hebrew year 5705 was the liberation of the Jews, 5706 was the trial of the oppressors, the beginning of 5707 was the judgement. Also in 5707 the UK handed the problem of the Palestinian Territories over to the UN. The final UN vote was in 5708 and Israel once again became a State in 5708. War between Israel and the surrounding Muslim States has been simmering and boiling since then.

What about Psalm 83? What about today?

It is expected that you read Psalm 83. It is about the nations surrounding Israel at the time. They do not like Israel. It is written in Psalm 83:4 || They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.

Figure 3 shows a rough outline of what God had promised to the Sons of Jacob as The Promised Land according to someone I haven’t been able to identify.

Figure 3: Intended borders of Promised Land

The Nations mentioned in Psalm 83 are shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4: Nations surrounding Israel mentioned in Psalm 83

A search of the Scriptures shows that these names are not mentioned again. Make of that what you will.

Figure 5 shows the modern positions of the Nations written in Psalm 83. Obviously they are now Muslim. They are the nations that God commanded to be annihilated. They are now threatening Israel daily and Israel is the bad guy. Read Ezekiel 38 and make of that what you will.

But there is another player

Various Ayatollah of Iran have made threats almost word for word to Psalm 83 about the State of Israel. They have a nuclear programme aimed entirely at the destruction of Israel. They have set a date as Figure 6 shows. This is a clock in the middle of Tehran.

If you believe that it is not all Jews, and only Zionists, that are the target, I have a bridge in Sydney I can let you have for a reasonable price . How can an atomic explosion differentiate between friend and foe?

So where do we stand?

• Evidence connecting the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial to the Book of Esther has been presented.
• Evidence connecting the Nazi Holocaust to the Lord’s Autumn Feasts has been presented.
• Relevant evidence connecting the important dates of the UN inclusion into the formation of the modern State of Israel to the important Feast Days of the Autumn Feasts has been presented.
• The connection of the hostile nations surrounding Israel in the time of the writing of Psalm 83 (not Muslim at the time) to the modern equivalent of hostile Muslim Nations has been presented.
• The hostility of the most powerful Muslim Nation, Iran, is self evident; regardless what they say.

Addendum

Do some research into the situation between Shiite Iran and Sunni Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia can afford to buy atomic weapons off-the-shelf from Pakistan.

Conclusion

It is up to you to decide if Prophecy is worth your time. These Atheist minnows don’t know with Whom they are dealing. There is an old Jewish saying. Wisdom comes suddenly.

The forgoing evidence has not been presented to convince any reader but to allow a personal decision to be made. There is much more to know about this subject. Perhaps you’ll pay another visit, sometime.

All Glory to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
