Recent Rabbinic Prophecy
Soon after writing about my dream of the dance card, I read the January 22, 2019, Breaking Israel News article titled Rabbi: Messiah Began on Sunday, Will Appear on Purim, and Will Finish With Israeli Elections.
Here's an excerpt:
Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, one of the
most prominent rabbis of this generation, made a shocking statement, claiming
that the Messiah will precede the upcoming Israeli elections. Several rabbis
noted that the writing is on the wall and the signs that the process leading up
to the Messiah has already begun…for those who have the eyes to see it. . .
The article also reported that Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky
referred to the January
Blood Moon over America during Tu B’Shevat as a harbinger for that nation
(see my articles related to the Super Blood Wolf Moon here and
here)
AND that “If the conflict
with Syria develops, it will become clear that the process of the Messiah began
on Tu B’Shevat.”
Rabbi Kanievsky’s statement was
also discussed by Rabbi Matityahu
Glazerson, an expert in Torah codes, in a recent video.
Using a Torah program that searches for equidistant letter sequences in
the Bible, Rabbi Glazerson did a search for relevant expressions
concerning Kanievsky’s announcement. He noted that the term “יבוא משיח” (the Messiah will come) appears once in
Leviticus 23 adjacent to the letters “תשעט”
signifying the current Hebrew year, 5779.
The rabbi also noted that included
in the table was the word “מפורים”
(from Purim). The holiday of Purim will fall on March 21 this year, three and a
half weeks before the Israeli elections.
Also included in the table is the
word “תשובה”
(repentance) and אמונה
(belief). Breaking
Israel News
Purim is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the saving of
the Jewish people from Haman, who was planning to kill all the Jews. The Book
of Esther explains the days of Purim.
The vast majority of Jews do not believe that Jesus Christ
is the Moshiach or Messiah and so are expecting what they believe is their Messiah to appear this Purim! Instead of the Messiah,
however, they will be getting the Anti-Messiah.
Jesus Himself warned that during Daniel’s 70th
Week (the 7-year Tribulation or Jacob’s Trouble) the Jews will once again have
to face severe persecution and possible destruction at the hands of a
Haman-like monster, or more accurately “beast”. Dr. Thomas Ice explains:
When ye therefore
shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand
in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) - Matthew 24:15 KJV
Previously, we saw that Matthew 24:15 describes
an event that fixes the chronological midpoint of the seven-year tribulation.
Verses 16-20 describe the recommended response of the faithful who see the
abomination of desolation in Jerusalem. They are to get out of Dodge as fast as
they can. Why? It is because the second-half of the tribulation will be a time
of persecution and great tribulation for the Jewish remnant.
This passage is saying that the
moment the Jewish Remnant (the elect in Matthew 24:22, 24, 31) sees
the watershed event of the abomination of desolation then they are to flee to
the Judean hills. Why are
they to flee instantly? It is because with the instantaneous event of the Beast
(antichrist) setting up the abomination of desolation in the rebuilt Jewish
Temple, he goes from protecting Israel to persecuting her. blb
commentary/thomas ice
I can’t help but think that since Israel is looking for a false Messiah at this time, that God is in reality warning them they will
soon lose their greatest ally (the United States) AND will be entering the time
that leads to the same horrors they were subject to during the time of Esther
and Haman!
I am hoping
my dance card dream means as Israel is looking for their false Messiah, that
instead the True One will come and harpazo
or rapture those of us who are expectantly watching for Him.
Why Is It Called
Purim?
Purim is celebrated in the month of Adar. The current Hebrew
Year 5779 is a Leap Year; therefore, there are TWO months of Adar—Adar I and
Adar II. During a Leap Year, Purim is celebrated beginning at sunset on the 13th
of Adar II and ends sunset on the 14th , which on the Gregorian
calendar translates into March 20-21, 2019 (see hebcal.com).
Purim means “lots” in ancient
Persian. The holiday was thus named since Haman had thrown lots to determine
when he would carry out his diabolical scheme. chabad.org
(See also Esther 9:24.)
The Spirit of the Lord brought back to my memory that Haman cast lots or dice as I was watching one of Colleen Minter’s videos, The dye/die is cast!! Some of the etymology behind the phrase:
From games of chance in which the
outcome is determined by the throwing of dice or a single die. Popularized by
its use by Suetonius when Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon to begin a civil
war in the Roman Republic, indicating the commission of an irreversible act,
whence also cross the Rubicon.
. . . The future is determined;
there are no more options; events will proceed in an irreversible manner; the
point of no return has been passed. wiktionary.org
Take the recent passing in the State of New York of the
so-called Reproductive
Health Act that allows for late-term abortions, even up to the moment of a child’s
birth (limited only by vaguely-defined conditions), add the atrocities of
pedophilia, mix in the homosexual agenda and top it off with the Trump peace
plan which is projected to call for the further division of Israel and
Jerusalem—the apple of God’s eye—and it is no wonder “the die has been cast”
and the point of no return has come!
What does God mean by this? I believe He has determined the day His wrath will come upon the earth. This is bad news for the world but good news for those who love His appearing for He has promised they will be saved from wrath.
1797 Rabbinic
Prophecy and the Falling Away
In his latest Mid-East Prophecy Update J. D.
Farag talked about another prophecy given by a Rabbi in which this 18th
century sage singled out Russian aggression as a precursor to the coming of the
Messiah. TyGreen YTC included the clip from that video in his latest titled Israeli Rabbis Expect The Messiah Before
The Elections.
It is my belief, along with many other brethren, that if these
prophecies come to pass and the Messiah the Jews are expecting (the Antichrist) does enter the world’s stage this Spring
that means the
Overcoming Church must
first exit!
My belief that the Overcomers are resurrected/raptured
before the revealing of the Antichrist comes from what I have learned related
to the “falling away” of 2 Thessalonians 2:3:
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him That ye
be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor
by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall
not come, except there come a falling away first, and
that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is
called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of
God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4
In 2 Thessalonians 2:1 the phrase "gathering
together" is translated from the Greek word episunagogue and
refers to the Great Assembly--a gathering together in one place of all
believers (Hebrews 12:22-23).
The phrase "a falling
away" is translated from the Greek he apostasia. It is
quite enlightening to find that most of the earlier English versions
translated he apostasia as 'the departure'. erfministries.com
Kenneth Wuest, a Greek scholar from Moody Bible Institute added the following contextual support to taking apostasia as a physical departure:
But then hee apostasia of which Paul is speaking, precedes the revelation of Antichrist in his true identity, and is to katechon that which holds back his revelation (2:6). The hee apostasia, therefore, cannot be either a general apostasy in Christendom which does precede the coming of Antichrist, nor can it be the particular apostasy which is the result of his activities in making himself the alone object of worship. Furthermore, that which holds back his revelation (vs. 3) is vitally connected with hoo katechoon (vs. 7), He who holds back the same event. The latter is, in my opinion, the Holy Spirit and His activities in the Church. All of which means that I am driven to the inescapable conclusion that the hee apostasia (vs. 3) refers to the Rapture of the Church which precedes the Day of the Lord, and holds back the revelation of the Man of Sin who ushers in the world-aspect of that period.[12] bibleone.net

The End—of the Age,
that is
We’re coming into the tail end of Israel’s 70th
year. Like the brave pilot who brings a plane in for a landing when it has lost
its engine, let’s warn everybody to hold onto their hats due to the bumpy ride
ahead. However, those of us looking for His Appearing won’t be making a landing, we will be
taking off in flight!
The days of our lives
[are] seventy years; And if by reason of strength [they are] eighty years, Yet
their boast [is] only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly
away. - Psalm 90:10 NKJV
