Israel, God's Timepiece for the Endtime

Matthew 24:32–35 NASB95

“Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door. “Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

[Question] 6. Do you believe that the Jews’—Jews’ return to Palestine is a fulfillment of the Bible prophecy? We heard you were going to Palestine, is that true?

220 Yes. Yes, sir. Let me tell you something, one of the greatest…If you want to see what time of year it is, look on the calendar. If you want to see what time of night it is, look at the clock. If you want to see what day you’re living in, look where the Jews are. That’s God’s timepiece.

[The Uncertain Sound, 60-1218]

112 Their old priest walked out there, one of the old rabbis, the teachers, walked out there and said, “Didn’t God tell us that someday we’d go back to the homeland, ‘On the wings of an eagle’?” They laid down their plows, got on the plane and flew back home, on the wings. Isaiah saw it, but he didn’t know what it was. It just looked like a bird flying. He seen Israel coming back, waving back and forth. And you who rode in planes, know what it is. It’s a wave, back and forth, just like a bird flying, coming back home.

113 They got off there, they said, “Well, where’s the Messiah?” They wanted to see Him. And I’m telling you, when you see the Jews going back like that, that’s God’s timepiece. We’re at the end.

114 Now just recently become a nation, become all that they are, and got their own money, and their own military, and everything, their own everything. They are a nation again. See? Oh, what a beautiful thought! I got some Scripture on that, a little farther down in here, yeah, on that.

[The Mark of the Beast and the Seal of God, 61-0217]

48 However, now notice. Israel—God had to harden Pharaoh’s heart to drive them out the first time. And He done the same thing this time. He hardened Hitler’s heart against the Jews; that’s what started the war. Remember, God said, “Ever who curses Israel, I’ll curse them. Who blesses Israel, I’ll bless him.” And it was scattered all over the world. And then He hardened Hitler’s heart, hardened Mussolini’s heart, hardened Stalin’s heart. All the different hearts of the nation, He hardened them and finally opened up the way, and Israel is returning and already in her homeland.

If you want to see what day of the month it is, look on the calendar. If you want to see what day in the season it is of the coming of the Lord, watch where Israel’s setting. That’s God’s timepiece. There she is, setting in her homeland. The oldest flag in the world, the six-point star of David, the oldest flag in the world flies again for the first time for twenty-five hundred years (Yes, sir.), yes, the ensign that was to be lifted up. Israel, Palestine blossoming as a rose, you read in the magazines, and watch how they come back, way down in Iran and so forth. “Look” magazine packed articles, how they went out after them Jews. They wouldn’t get on that airplane. That old Rabbi went out there, said, “Our prophet told us, Isaiah, hundreds of years ago, thousands of years ago, that when we come back to the homeland, we’d come back on the wings of an eagle.” There it sets. Amen. They got right on and away they went.

[Gabriel’s Instructions to Daniel 61-0730m]

113 This is the one most important Scriptures in the Book. What does it do? It tells the closing of the Jewish nation, the Jewish people. This Scripture, the seventy of weeks, it discloses and tells exactly from the time that Daniel started there, until the end of the consummation. It’s one of the greatest timepieces. How many has heard me say, “If you want to know what day of the week it is, look at the calendar. If you want to know what time we’re living in, watch the Jews”? That’s right. There is God’s calendar, taken from right here. Any theologian, any Bible scholar, anyone, will tell you that this is the timepiece, the Jews.

[The Seventieth Week of Daniel 61-0806]

53 Now, my church here knows that all through the years I’ve always told you, “If you want to know what day of the week it is, look at the calendar. But if you want to know the time we’re living in, watch those Jews.” That’s the only timepiece. God lotted no—no certain times for the Gentiles; there was no certain space of time. And that’s where I think that many great writers mixed it up, and was trying to apply this to the Jew and Gentile, because He said, “Thy people.” But He was talking to Daniel, not to the Church; Daniel’s people, the Jew. If He was talking to the Church, you can’t make that run nowhere; you’re—you’re way back, even before the coming of Christ. It’d run out in any kind of prophetic weeks you wanted to put it in. It’s already run out. But He was talking to the Jews, so therefore the Jew is God’s timepiece.

What the gnawing locust has left, the swarming locust has eaten; And what the swarming locust has left, the creeping locust has eaten; And what the creeping locust has left, the stripping locust has eaten. Awake, drunkards, and weep; And wail, all you wine drinkers, On account of the sweet wine That is cut off from your mouth. For a nation has invaded my land, Mighty and without number; Its teeth are the teeth of a lion, And it has the fangs of a lioness. It has made my vine a waste And my fig tree splinters. It has stripped them bare and cast them away; Their branches have become white.

The threshing floors will be full of grain, And the vats will overflow with the new wine and oil. “Then I will make up to you for the years That the swarming locust has eaten, The creeping locust, the stripping locust and the gnawing locust, My great army which I sent among you. “You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; Then My people will never be put to shame. “Thus you will know that I am in the midst of Israel, And that I am the Lord your God, And there is no other; And My people will never be put to shame.

Major Event #1 - Israel became a nation again in May 14, 1948. This happened despite strong opposition from Arab countries in the Middle East.

Zionist Aliyah

Aliyah - the return of the Jews from their dispesion back to their homeland. Aliyah means - ascent, going up

Aliyah - ascent, going up

Aliyah means - ascent, going up

Zionism - is the national movement of the Jewish people that supports the re-establishment of a Jewish homeland in the territory defined as the historic Land of Israel (roughly corresponding to Canaan, the Holy Land, or the region of Palestine). Modern Zionism emerged in the late 19th century in Central and Eastern Europe as a national revival movement, both in reaction to newer waves of antisemitism and as an imitative response to other exclusionary nationalist movements.

First Aliyah - Between 1882 and 1903, approximately 35,000 Jews immigrated to the southwestern area of Syria, then a province of the Ottoman Empire.

Second Aliyah - Between 1904 and 1914, 40,000 Jews immigrated mainly from Russia to southwestern Syria following pogroms and outbreaks of anti-Semitism in that country.

Third Aliyah - Between 1919 and 1923, 40,000 Jews, mainly from Eastern Europe arrived in the wake of World War I.

The British occupation of Palestine and the establishment of the British Mandate created the conditions for the implementation of the promises contained in the Balfour Declaration of 1917.

Many of the Jewish immigrants were ideologically driven pioneers, known as halutzim, trained in agriculture and capable of establishing self-sustaining economies.

Jewish population reached 90,000.

Fourth Aliyah - Between 1924 and 1929, 82,000 Jews arrived, many as a result of increasing Anti-Semitism in Poland and throughout Europe.

Fifth Aliyah - Between 1929 and 1939, with the rise of Nazism in Germany, a new wave of 250,000 immigrants arrived; the majority of these, 174,000, arrived between 1933 and 1936.

1949-1951 - In three and a half years, the Jewish population of Israel, which was 650,000 at the state's founding, was more than doubled by an influx of about 688,000 immigrants.

In 1949, the largest-ever number of Jewish immigrants in a single year - 249,954 - arrived in Israel.

Total Jewish immigrants:

1919-1948 - 482,857

1948-1951 - 687,624

1952-1950 - 297,138

1961-1971 - 427,828

1972-1979 - 267,580

1980-1989 - 153,833

1990-2001 - 1,059,993

2002-2010 - 181,233

TOTAL - 3,620,586

Prophecies fulfilled

Deuteronomy 30:1–5 NASB95

“So it shall be when all of these things have come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you call them to mind in all nations where the Lord your God has banished you, and you return to the Lord your God and obey Him with all your heart and soul according to all that I command you today, you and your sons, then the Lord your God will restore you from captivity, and have compassion on you, and will gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you. “If your outcasts are at the ends of the earth, from there the Lord your God will gather you, and from there He will bring you back. “The Lord your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will prosper you and multiply you more than your fathers.

Deuteronomy 30.1-5

Isaiah 43:5–7 NASB95

“Do not fear, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, And gather you from the west. “I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ And to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’ Bring My sons from afar And My daughters from the ends of the earth, Everyone who is called by My name, And whom I have created for My glory, Whom I have formed, even whom I have made.”

Immediately after the creation of Israel state in 1948, war broke in the Middle east.

1948 - First Arab-Israeli war. Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Lebanon declare war on Israel. Egypt, Jordan and Syria invade Israel.

1956 - Egypt nationalises Suez Canal (July 26). France, Britain and Israel plan invasion of Egypt. Israel invades the Sinai peninsula (October 29). Pressure from the US and USSR force France, Britain and Israel to withdraw.

1967, June - Third Arab-Israeli war (Six-Day War). Israel launches a pre-emptive attack on Egypt, Syria and Jordan. Israel captures Sinai Peninsula and Gaza Strip from Egypt, the Golan Heights from Syria and the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan.

1973, October 6 - Fourth Arab-Israeli war (October war). In a surprise attack on the Jewish Day of Atonement, Egypt and Syria retake the areas in Sinai and the Golan Heights that were lost in the Six Day war. Despite initial gains they are soon forced to retreat by Israeli forces.

1982, June 6 - Israel invades Lebanon to remove PLO fighters who it claims are threatening its border. This the First Lebanon War.

December 1987, the First Intifada began. The First Intifada was a mass Palestinian uprising against Israeli rule in the Palestinian territories.[68] The rebellion began in the Jabalia refugee camp and quickly spread throughout Gaza and the West Bank.

2000-2005 - The Second Intifada forced Israel to rethink its relationship and policies towards the Palestinians. Following a series of suicide bombings and attacks, the Israeli army launched Operation Defensive Shield. It was the largest military operation conducted by Israel since the Six-Day War.[69]

2006, July 12 - Islamic Resistance fighters from Hezbollah, a Lebanese Shia organisation, capture two Israeli soldiers and kills three other in a cross-border raid. Israel attempts to retrieve the men, and five more soldiers are killed. Israel bombards what it calls Hezbollah positions in Lebanon. This is the Second Lebanon War.

Zechariah 12:1–9 NASB95

The burden of the word of the Lord concerning Israel. Thus declares the Lord who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him, “Behold, I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that causes reeling to all the peoples around; and when the siege is against Jerusalem, it will also be against Judah. “It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it. “In that day,” declares the Lord, “I will strike every horse with bewilderment and his rider with madness. But I will watch over the house of Judah, while I strike every horse of the peoples with blindness. “Then the clans of Judah will say in their hearts, ‘A strong support for us are the inhabitants of Jerusalem through the Lord of hosts, their God.’ “In that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot among pieces of wood and a flaming torch among sheaves, so they will consume on the right hand and on the left all the surrounding peoples, while the inhabitants of Jerusalem again dwell on their own sites in Jerusalem. “The Lord also will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem will not be magnified above Judah. “In that day the Lord will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the one who is feeble among them in that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the Lord before them. “And in that day I will set about to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

Zechariah 12.1-

Israel has become a heavy burden to the nations involved in her struggle for sovereignty.

A report by Strategic Foresight Group has estimated the opportunity cost of conflict for the Middle East from 1991–2010 at $12 trillion.

The US has given Israel $118 billion in aid over the years (about $3 billion per year nowadays).

In terms of the human cost, it is estimated that the conflict has taken 92,000 lives (74,000 military and 18,000 civilian from 1945 to 1995 only).

Major Event #2 - Israel became a heavy burden to the nations who were drawn to her existence.

God will

Israel’s return to their homeland was just the beginning of God’s works. His intension was to convert the Jews to Christ.

When? - when fulness of the Gentiles has come in

Romans 11:25–29 NASB95

For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, “The Deliverer will come from Zion, He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.” “This is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.” From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God’s choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers; for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

Romans 11.25-

How? - by the ministry of the 2 witnesses

Revelation 11:1–6 NASB95

Then there was given me a measuring rod like a staff; and someone said, “Get up and measure the temple of God and the altar, and those who worship in it. “Leave out the court which is outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and they will tread under foot the holy city for forty-two months. “And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.” These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. And if anyone wants to harm them, fire flows out of their mouth and devours their enemies; so if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this way. These have the power to shut up the sky, so that rain will not fall during the days of their prophesying; and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

Revelation 11:1–13 NASB95

Then there was given me a measuring rod like a staff; and someone said, “Get up and measure the temple of God and the altar, and those who worship in it. “Leave out the court which is outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and they will tread under foot the holy city for forty-two months. “And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.” These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. And if anyone wants to harm them, fire flows out of their mouth and devours their enemies; so if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this way. These have the power to shut up the sky, so that rain will not fall during the days of their prophesying; and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire. When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them and kill them. And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. Those from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not permit their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb. And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate; and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth. But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God came into them, and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell upon those who were watching them. And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” Then they went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies watched them. And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

Revelation 7:1–3 NASB95

After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God; and he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the bond-servants of our God on their foreheads.”

The Abomination of Desolation

Matthew 24:15–22 NASB95

“Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. “Whoever is on the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house. “Whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak. “But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! “But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath. “For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. “Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.

Matthew 24.

2 Thessalonians 2.1-

2 Thessalonians 2:3–4 NASB95

Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.

The Persecution of the Jews

Zechariah 13:7–9 NASB95

“Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, And against the man, My Associate,” Declares the Lord of hosts. “Strike the Shepherd that the sheep may be scattered; And I will turn My hand against the little ones. “It will come about in all the land,” Declares the Lord, “That two parts in it will be cut off and perish; But the third will be left in it. “And I will bring the third part through the fire, Refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are My people,’ And they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’ ”

Revelation 12:17 NASB95

So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.

Major Event #4 - The Antichrist will set up himself in the temple in Jerusalem and demand worship, killing those who will oppose his power.

The power of the Antichrist will be broken at the end of the last 3 and a half years. Then Christ comes down to execute the wrath of God against the nations.

Zechariah 14:1–5 NASB95

Behold, a day is coming for the Lord when the spoil taken from you will be divided among you. For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city. Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle. In that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south. You will flee by the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel; yes, you will flee just as you fled before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord, my God, will come, and all the holy ones with Him!

Zechariah 14.1

Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, And come along!’ ”
