    Nineveh Rumor: 7 US towns named Nineveh in path of April Solar Eclipse

    I believe it is a sign. Joel 2 and Isaiah 34 were quoted in the sixth seal. Joel 2 talks about the restoration of Israel (physical and spiritual) while Isaiah 34 talks about the judgment against the surrounding nations. This is why the 144,000 Israelites are sealed. The Holy Spirit descends...

    Seven Seals

    Hello all. I've been hitting the books hard lately. I believe the signs in the skies are telling us something BIG is coming. That brings me to my topic: The seven seals. There is good reason to believe the seven seals revolve around Israel and Jerusalem while the seven trumpets revolve...

    Mystery Babylon

    Hello everyone. Been hitting the books a lot, and still getting at it. I think I am changing my opinion on who Babylon is. For the longest time, I looked at it as Rome, Istanbul, or some other Gentile Empire. I am now under the opinion it is Jerusalem. I did not come to this interpretation...

    Possible Fulfillment of Prophecy

    The promises are not determined by the Jews. They are determined by God. The prophecies show God gathering the elect back into Judah and Jerusalem and then calling all nations to Himself. Paul understood that the lost tribes were mixed in with the Gentiles when he wrote Romans 11, speaking on...

    Possible Fulfillment of Prophecy

    Zechariah 12 says God will restore Judah first, then Jerusalem. Then it shows everyone mourning for the one they pierced. I am optimistic that their salvation, and the salvation of all of Israel, is near.

    Possible Fulfillment of Prophecy

    Over 5,000 rockets being fired into Israel from the north and south in less than a month and being intercepted seems to suggest a higher protection. I think this is the next phase. The Two Witnesses. It is written that fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies if anyone tries...

    Possible Fulfillment of Prophecy

    I want to suggest the possibility that prophecy is being fulfilled before our very eyes. I say possibly because my lack of knowledge of Jewish culture and how they traditionally conduct war. What I have noticed, though, is that Jesus made a very specific prophecy about Jerusalem’s desolation...

    77 Years

    I also read that the kibbutz that was attacked was established 77 years ago.

    Sodom and Egypt

    Recent events have led me to consider the possibility that Jerusalem being spiritually called Sodom and Egypt in Revelation 11:8 is in regard to the oppression of the Jews by their neighbors rather than the state of the Jewish people. Sodom was known for its injustice and abuse, which Hamas...

    The Seven Trumpets and the King of the North

    I was looking at alternate possibilities and came upon something interesting. Daniel 11:36-44 seems to line up close with the Seven Trumpets. The Seven Trumpets, like the blasting of trumpets for seven days during the battle of Jericho, represent to complete liberation of the Jews, Jerusalem...

    Seven Plagues

    Not ignoring it. Daniel 12 is chronologically the last conversation Daniel has with any spiritual being in the book and he still didn’t understand.

    Seven Plagues

    I’m not ignoring it. I’m stating what the book says.

    Seven Plagues

    But even by chapter 12, Daniel still did not understand. I think he had the feeling that the Jews would be without their king and city for a very long time, which perplexed him.

    Seven Plagues

    The prophecy of the 70 weeks of years, as shown in Daniel 9:24, were about Daniel’s people the Jews and Jerusalem. When the Jews ceased to rule their own people, the timeline stopped. The anointed one being cut off was the Maccabean king/priest in 40 BC when Aristobolus cut off his ear and...

    Seven Plagues

    I disagree. Paul said the times of the Gentiles in which the Church would be built was hidden from the prophets. That’s why Daniel did not understand the vision in Daniel 12:7-8. He thought it would flow seamlessly into the time of the end (the 70th Seven). Instead, it would be for 3.5...

    The Two Witnesses

    You don’t think the 1,260 days could be symbolic of the time the Maccabees fought for independence?

    Seven Plagues

    The two witnesses come from Isaiah 43 and Ezekiel 37. Israel was chosen to show the world who the one true God is. Their exile and punishment in the past revolved around failing to do so. This is the very same role the church was given in Revelation, to shine the light of Christ in a dark...

    Seven Plagues

    If my interpretation is correct that the seven plagues start when the two witnesses begin their testimony, then I think we will the seven plagues starts within a year from now. Of course, it’s an interpretation, so take it for what it’s worth. If I’m correct, though, we will know beyond a...

    The King of the North (Not Russia)

    I’m beginning to get the feeling now that the king of the North is Iran. Revelation 16 and 19 mention a false prophet, who is not mentioned before chapter 16. Iran is controlled by a Shi’ite Muslim religious teacher that calls for the destruction of America and the death of all Jews. The king...

    Sukkot and Shushan Purim

    It is interesting that you connected the Feast of Tabernacles in respect to Revelation 7. I would like to first note that the Gentile multitude is carrying the palm branches and are tabernacled by God’s presence. There is historical significance to this. Paul noted that Gentiles had lived in...
