Is the coming ‘Jewish Temple‘ a ‘good‘ thing or is it ‘evil‘, or is it both? Will it be a place of ‘light‘ or ‘spiritual compromise‘? What ‘Spiritual Light‘ will shine there? Does God want physical ‘sacrifices‘ of animals anymore? What about the ‘New Covenant‘? What does the bible say?

Despite talks of ‘Peace‘ in the name of ‘Abraham‘, ‘War‘ is already here and there is much more coming.
Both Islam and the Antichrist will accommodate the ‘Third Temple’ after the ‘Abraham Accords’ and a ‘Palestinian State’ precipitate ‘World War 3’ and the ‘Birthpangs’ of the Kingdom.

From the book of Haggai, the ‘temple‘ is erected after a time of ‘shaking‘ when the ‘horses‘ and their ‘riders‘ destroy one another with their ‘sword‘. This matches the ‘four horsemen‘ of Revelation 6 when the ‘rider‘ on the ‘red horse‘ will ‘take peace from the earth‘..

Both ‘Yeshua‘ and the ‘Antichrist‘ are involved with this ‘Third Temple‘. The Serpent crawls upon His sneaky ‘belly‘ through the midst of the waters of the ‘Gichon’, besides the ‘temple mount‘. What does this mean?

Nevertheless, despite his ‘craft‘ and ‘subtlety‘, there his ‘head‘ shall be ‘crushed‘ under the ‘feet‘ of the ‘Son of God‘ and the ‘children of God’.

This is ‘ground zero‘ in the contest for the ‘dominion‘ over the ‘earth‘. A battle between the ‘Seed of the Woman’ and the ‘Seed of the Serpent’.

Jacob’s ‘children‘, the 144,000, shall be ‘manifested‘ on Mt Zion. Is this in ‘heaven‘ or on ‘earth‘?

The ‘Two Witnesses‘ shall be preaching the truth for the first 3.5 years of the Antichrist’s ‘Covenant with many’. Meanwhile the ‘Bride‘ will have made her escape into the Wilderness of Mt Sinai. This shall be where the ‘New Covenant’ comes in it’s fullness to the ‘Bride‘. So how does the ‘Third Temple‘ fit into all of this? And is there a ‘Fourth Temple‘? Aren’t we the ‘temple‘?

I have suspected that the ‘hour‘ is much later than we think. I believe that there are 2 lots of 7 years in the end times, and we are just about to enter the last year of the first 7 years. I believe that the 7 seals have been opening since COVID-19 and the 7th Seal is about to be opened. Before you dismiss this scenario out of hand please see my previous article ‘Timeline to Tribulation & Kingdom: Part 1 – The Quickening‘, see the section titled ‘14 Years: 7 Good & 7 Evil‘ for details. I suspect that the 7 Trumpet judgements are about to begin while Jacob has been sleeping through the 7 Seals. I am watching September/October 2025 very carefully. Despite talks of ‘peace, peace‘ Is someone about to light the fuse shortly?

Preamble

I will show how the ‘Third Temple’ will be built after a short but destructive World War 3, after the invasion of Israel and ‘Babylon America‘. We are clearly in a time of ‘wars and rumours of wars’ warned by our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, the Son of God. We have been warned that when they say ‘Peace and Safety/Security’ then ‘sudden destruction’ will come upon them. They are saying this now. See the previous article ‘Timeline to Tribulation & Kingdom: Part 2 – The Abraham Accords’ for details.

We don’t have much time left. This Feast of Trumpets to Tabernacles period will herald the end of the world as we know it. Many things are coming together to signify that the seventh Hebrew month of Tishrei (Sept 23rd to 22nd October 2025) commences the judgement of God in earnest with major ‘birthpangs’ occurring. This coincides with the nations of the world pushing for a ‘Palestinian State’ in the heartland of Judea and Samaria and with a peace treaty from hell named after Abraham. This will be followed with world war 3, famine, pestilence and death and enough persecution to thin the ranks of the Church of Laodicea. The 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse will be galloping hard as Israel is invaded and ‘Babylon America’ is taken down as a world power. Earthquakes like we have never seen will begin to erupt. This I believe is actually the 7th seal that is opening. There are two lots of 7 years in the end times, just like in Genesis because the Lord declares the end from the beginning. The 7 seals have already been opening since the Covid Conspiracy began. The beast system began to be implemented in the bloodstream of mankind way back then. Soon it’s fruit will manifest. The sky will be filled with strange sights as the earth nears the fall of Satan and His Angels, the Nephilim rise from the depths of the earth. The Antichrist will arise as ‘Babylon America’ burns. But so too will the 144,000 and the gifts and outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We will soon be on a journey from our nations, if we survive the judgement. If we are not part of the firstfruits rapture then we will have some walking to the wilderness to do.

It’s time that God’s people stopped fearing prophecy because if we are down here we are already beginning to live through it. Better to seek the Lord and get our hearts adjusted to it. If we stick our head in the sand like an Ostridge we are more likely to be kicked. The bride should be looking forward to the coming of the Lord. The righteous are as fearless as lions. But when I see much of what is called the Christian/Messianic community I see people either worldly, proud, and asleep or overwhelmed and fearfully hiding from the ‘voice of prophecy’ and hence from Yeshua Himself. We all have to get real.

Time to remove our fig leaves of religion and get on our knees. The ‘Glory of God’ is coming upon the ‘remnant of Jacob’ and the ‘remnant of the nations’, even as darkness and death fall upon our world. The 2^nd Exodus is about to begin amidst the turmoil of this ‘sudden destruction’.

A NOTE TO MEN (& WOMEN TOO!)

Whether the ‘rapture‘ happens before, in the middle of after the ‘Tribulation‘, for those still here the end times could be your ‘worst nightmare‘ or your ‘greatest adventure‘. We need to take heart. Myth’s tell our hearts that we were born for adventure. Luke Skywalker didn’t become a Jedi Knight by staying at home and playing it safe on the Ranch. He actually lost his parents and then sought out Ben Kenobi. ‘A great adventure took place‘. Now reality is no Sci-Fi neo-pagan myth, but it could be very much like it in these end times. It certainly is a supernatural high tech otherworldly drama that we find ourselves a part of nonetheless. We have to ‘overcome our fears‘ if we are to be ‘men or women of faith‘. Only Yeshua can save us. I am no James Bond or Jedi Knight, but God is my Father. And He is your’s too. We need to know the Father in these last days, and not just know about Him. We need to be filled with the Holy Spirit in these end times. And we need to know the rules of the game if we are to win the football match. We need to know who we are in Yeshua and what He is in us. We need to know Him. ‘Fear‘ is not for the ‘intrepid‘. As I speak to you I am speaking to myself, I need the Lord every hour. I depend upon Him for everything. He is my strength and the strength of my heart.

NOTE PLEASE:
FEAR VERSES FAITH

With regard to the study of ‘end times’ and the ‘fear of biblical prophecy’ that is in so many believers now, I would say the following;

Our first parents ate from the fruit of the knowledge of ‘good’ and ‘evil’.
‘Faith’ is trusting that God is in control and ‘good’ will come no matter what happens.
‘Fear’ is trusting that it is better not to know because only ‘evil’ is coming.

The disciples in the boat being tossed about upon the waves is a picture of the tribulation.
Peter trusted in Yeshua and walked upon the water.
Peter looked at the waves and sank.
Yeshua reached out his hands and saved him when he called upon Him.
Many Christians/Messianics are too afraid of the waves to even trust in the Lord enough to read the entire bible let alone walk on the water.
Their focus is wrong.

The Lord has not give us a ‘spirit of fear’.
But a ‘spirit of power, love and a sound mind’.
Many are ‘fearful of prophecy’ because they have a ‘spirit of fear’.
When we bow down to a ‘spirit of fear’ we are committing ‘idolatry’.
‘Idolaters’ and the ‘fearful’ will not inherit the ‘Kingdom of God’.
Something has to give.
Who will you fear?
We need to look to Yeshua.

My study of prophecy has not made me fearful. It has made me better informed and more watchful and trusting.
When we were baptised it is symbolic of our death. If we have died already then what have we to fear? We are already raised with Messiah now. But do we live it?
A ‘fearful’ believer is not a ‘faith filled’ believer and is certainly not an overcoming one.
Let us come to the cross, the place of death to the old self and lay down our fears, worship the Lord and read all His word without fear, including prophecy.

The tribulation is the time of ‘Jacob’s trouble’.
And like Jacob at the Jabbock we may have some wrestling to do.

It’s time to stop hiding from prophecy and from God with religious fig leaves including Torah obedience that is still either blind to or fearful of prophecy.

The one who ‘fears’ is not made perfect in ‘love’. God is ‘good’, and so is his Word. The book of Revelation is all about the ‘end times’ and the ‘evil’ that occurs there. And it is the only book that has a blessing for reading it. God and the people of God triumph. ‘Good’ wins.

Ignorance is darkness, and darkness induces fear.
Ignorance of end times increases fear.
Yes darkness is coming.

But,

Glory is coming too.
Yeshua is coming soon.
He is the Saviour.
He will save us.

Have Faith.
Fear not.

Read your Bible.
All of it!
And take heart!

Introduction

Events are speeding up. Do we truly know the time we are in? The world is changing rapidly.

The topic of the ‘third temple’ stirs hearts one way or the other. Is it ‘good’ or is it ‘evil’? The controversy sounds a bit like the Tree of knowledge to me. On the one side are those that don’t believe in Yeshua or His Atonement, and on the other are those that do believe. And in the middle are believers that believe both in the ‘Third Temple’ and the ‘New Covenant’. We know the Antichrist exalt himself as god and will erect the ‘Abomination of Desolation’ within it. So is God really behind it or Satan, or both?

Some spiritual leaders think that the ends justifies the means when it comes to building the temple. There are Jews and Gentiles that think it is some sort of magic box that solves everything. But like the garden of God, we need to be careful what tree we eat from. Sacrifices whether good or evil are a matter of the heart and intent. We will look at Cain and Able and the religious Spirit verses the Holy Spirit.

We know that former temples have been built in holiness and desecrated by foreign invaders when Israel’s people and religious leaders refused to listen to the prophets. The pattern is set to continue because we know that the Antichrist will ‘confirm a covenant with many’ for a week (most likely 7 years) and in the midst of the years he will stop the sacrifices and set up the ‘Abomination of Desolation’. The question is not “will there be a temple?” but rather, is it a ‘holy endevour or not?”. Or is it even more complicated than that?

In Ezekiel 40 onwards we see the description of a temple that has never been built. In order to build it, there needs to be more physical ground on the temple mount than there is at present. This will require topographical changes that earthquakes can helpfully provide. So I call this temple, the ‘fourth temple’. The ‘third temple’ will most likely be some sort of hybrid between what has been built before by Solomon, Ezra and what will be built after the 10 lost tribes of the ‘House of Israel’ return to the land after their 3.5 years in the wilderness and Yeshua returns, that is by Yeshua, the ‘fourth Temple’.

There is a stream of water that passes through the temple mount region called the ‘Gihon’ spring. This is the same name as one of the four rivers surrounding the Garden of Eden. It just so happens that this is the same word used to describe the ‘belly’ that the serpent was to crawl upon in the curse in Genesis 3. It is also related to the birth of a helpless baby. The temple is thus the earthly battle ground between the Serpent that crawls upon his ‘gichon’ (belly) and the ‘Seed of the Woman’ that comes out of the womb, upon his ‘gichon’ (belly). Thus the temple mount is ground zero in this cosmic struggle between the ‘Seed of the Serpent’ and the ‘Seed of the Woman’.

In the book of Haggai we read about the prophets mission to encourage the people to build the ‘secondtemple’ of ‘Ezra’s day’. But within this prophecy there are prophecies concerning the ‘shaking of the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land’ in the ‘end times’. Also ‘Zerubbabel’, the leader of the returning Jews back then is promised to be resurrected in these end times. I will discuss this in more detail soon, but it is important to know what is written in Haggai is related to the ‘third & fourth temples’ during and after the tribulation.

I will show how the temple is built during the ‘shakings’ of the ‘birthpangs’ after a world war. I believe that this is just about to erupt now as soon as the false ‘peace and security‘ deal called the ‘Abraham Accords‘ are signed and a ‘Palestinian state‘ is created, as I described in the previous article ‘Timeline to Tribulation & Kingdom: Part 2 – The Abraham Accords‘.

At the time of this ‘shaking‘, ‘Babylon America‘ will be suddenly attacked from within and without and finally destroyed and taken down as a world power and the ‘2^nd Exodus‘ will begin.

Finally we will look at how the earthly ‘mount Zion‘, the ‘temple mount‘ will be a place where the Lord will take a stand with His 144,000 ‘children‘ and His ‘Two Witnesses’.

We are coming into deceptive times, dark times, deadly times but also glorious and triumphant times, resurrection times as the promises in the Garden find their final fulfilment’s as the Kingdom of God and the Satan go head to head in the battle for the hearts of Adam’s race and Israel in particular.

Questions of Timing

“Events are speeding up. Do we truly know the time we are in? The world is changing rapidly.”

This article is one of a series called ‘Timeline to Tribulation & Kingdom’.

Before we begin, let’s talk about timing.

On the one hand I am seeing a small remnant come together here and there. Some people are coming to the Lord. But many others are falling way. We are living in a time of ‘apostasy’ where a great ‘falling away’ from the faith is already in progress and is accelerating, II Thessalonians 2:3. ‘Seducing spirits’ are on the rampage tripping believers up that don’t read their bibles, I Timothy 4:1 or are simply proud and foolish. The enemy goes about like a ‘roaring lion’, seeking whom he may ‘devour’, I Peter 5:8. Sadly many ‘Christians’ don’t have the ‘grit’ to push through ‘hardness’ and are simply giving up and walking away. We are paying a steep price now for years of preaching a ‘soft gospel of self’. We are seeing people walking away from God. The days of ‘easy believers’ is at an end. Yeshua is not someone that you tack onto your life. Faith is not an ‘add on’. It is ‘everything’. ‘He is everything’.

We all get hurt. Our hearts should be soft. It takes work to keep them safe but still soft. It takes prayer. It takes the regular reading of the word. We all have pressures in our lives. Some more and some less. And for many the pressures are increasing. He will be with us to the end of the age, Matthew 28:20. He will help us through everything as we lean on Him. But we were told by Yeshua in advance that in the world we will have ‘tribulation’, John 16:33. Those without deep ‘roots’ in the faith will fall away at such times, Matthew 13:21. We are supposed to be ‘pilgrims’, and this world should not be our home. We should always be on guard against Satan, we should be vigilant by nature. We should be ‘actively guarding’ our hearts through all the hurts and the temptations that come our way, both from around us and even within us. We are not ‘part time believers’, we should be on active duty all day, every day. We are supposed to be spiritual soldiers. We should be looking forward to the Kingdom of God. We should be ardently looking forward to the Return of Yeshua our King. Walking with the Lord should be the most important thing in our life. Prayer and the Word of God should be central to our life, not an ‘add on’ when convenient. Even if there are unpleasant things in the bible we should be students of the whole word of God from Genesis to Revelation.

Many cannot handle prophecy because they find it ‘scary’. But we are not given a ‘spirit of fear’, but ‘power, love and a sound mind’, 2 Timothy 1:7. So ‘fear of prophecy’ can only come from one source, and that is Satan. ‘Fear of prophecy’ is a ‘demonic fear’. Yeshua is ultimately the focal point of all prophecy, Revelation 19:10. It is about the Bride and the Groom. Yet somehow prophecy is about the most unpopular topic to talk about in the mainstream ‘Church’. Just like the Jews were ignorant of the first coming of Yeshua so much of the ‘Church’ is ignorant of how close the second coming is. Jezebel killed the prophets of God and the Spirit of Jezebel seems to reign supreme in the churches up and down the land. The result of years of a ‘man centred’, ‘seeker friendly’ gospel is a church full of lukewarm, light weight ‘powder puffs’, that haven’t got enough love and desire for Yeshua to ‘endure hardness as a good soldier’ and push through. Most of the larger mainline congregations are actually as ‘weak as water‘ and it doesn’t take much for many to fall away, since they can’t handle the ‘truth’. The ‘Church’ is thus ‘demon infested’ through it’s ‘fear of prophecy’. It has been infiltrated by the ‘Jezebel harlot spirit’. But the ‘true Bride’ is one that will listen to the ‘voice of prophecy’ because she is led by the Spirit of God. Much of ‘Churchianity’ is actually stone cold dead and it stinks. Would you think it is wise to marry a dead woman that stinks? Would Yeshua? I am not here to judge any one but rather I hope to inform the Body of Messiah as to the lateness of the hour.

As of the publication of this article I believe we may be just over a month away from the 7 ‘trumpet judgements’ in Revelation 8 onwards as I will briefly explain. Even if I am wrong about that or some specifics of prophecy we are clearly on the cusp of major judgement and world war. So I ask you not to dismiss what I am saying.

For those that still think the stuff I am talking about is still ‘years away’, I have some questions for you to ask yourself. I have talked about this before in the previous articles in the series but I raise it here again briefly.

Isaiah tells us that the Lord is the one ‘declaring the end from the beginning’, Isaiah 46:10. So what happens in Revelation is related to what happens in Genesis. In Genesis we are given a pattern of two lots of 7 years in two different places, once with Jacob and then with Joseph and Pharoah. Are there two lots of 7 years in the end times, just like in Genesis where Jacob worked for his two wives, for 7 years each. Is this prophetic? Are Pharaohs two dreams of two sets of 7 years prophetic, one set of 7 ‘good’ years and the other set of 7 ‘evil’ years? Are there likewise two lots of 7 years in the end times period in the book of Revelation? Do the 7 seals cover the first 7 ‘good’ years? Does the judgement begin in earnest in the 7^th year? Did God hold back the judgement over this period, did He cut it short, in order for the bride to be alerted and get ready?

Have the 7 Seals have been opening since Covid? Are we about to see the 144,000 commissioned just before the 7th Seal is put into effect?

If you read Revelation 7:1 you read that ‘four angels‘ are holding back the ‘four winds‘ lest they blow on the trees etc. Now it just so happens that in Hebrew, the word for ‘wind’ and the word for ‘spirit’ are the same word, ‘ruach’, רוח. In Zechariah 6:5 we read that the four chariots are ‘four spirits’. In Zechariah 1:8 a man is riding a red horse and the earth is at rest. But the horses are going ‘to and fro‘ upon the earth and it is still at rest, Zechariah 1:10.

Zechariah 1:8-10
8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.
9 Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.
10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.

The ‘angel‘ who is standing amongst the ‘myrtle trees‘ is also called a ‘man‘ and he tells us that the ‘LORD‘ is the one that sends the ‘horses‘. This is exactly what we see in Revelation 6. These ‘horses‘ are sent from ‘heaven‘. Here in Zechariah we have three different colours mentioned, ‘red horses, speckled, and white‘. In Zechariah 6 there are all four ‘horses‘ mentioned. So is this ‘man riding upon a red horse‘ the same ‘red horseman‘ that is in Revelation 6:4? And if so then we have the ‘red horse‘ already ‘loosed‘, but only in the sense of going to and from through the earth and there is still some degree of ‘peace‘. War is not world wide just yet. My contention is that the ‘four horsemen‘ have already been loosed, one year apart on the seventh Hebrew month (September-October) since the COVID-19 Plandemic. But because they are being held back by four ‘angels‘ holding back the four ‘winds‘ in Revelation 7:1 they are not permitted to do their damage until the ‘servants‘ of the Lord, the 144,000 are sealed. As I said just before, the Hebrew word for ‘spirit‘,רוּחַ, ruach, also means ‘wind‘. The four ‘horsemen‘ are called the four ‘winds‘, ruchot, רֻחוֹת, in Zechariah 6:5. Have they been loosed via the first four seals of Revelation 6, but still held back and restricted to walking ‘to and fro‘ in the earth as Zechariah 1 declares? Thus here we are in the world right now, where we have localised wars in the Ukraine, the middle east and now Cambodia, but the world on a whole is still at rest. But as soon as the ‘four winds’ are loosed after the 144,000 are ‘sealed’ then all pandemonium, war and ‘death and hell‘ comes upon the earth, Revelation 7:1. The fact that the four winds are held back by four angels may mean that the ‘four horsemen‘ want to do harm now if they could.

Another important point, is that the ‘man riding upon a red horse‘ is amongst the ‘myrtle trees‘. Why is this important? Well the Hebrew name translated ‘the Myrtle trees‘ is הַהֲדַסִּים, haHadassim, which is the plural for ‘Hadassah‘, הֲדַסָּה, the name that Esther was born with. Esther kept her Jewish identity hidden due to the peril of Haman, she is a picture of the Jewish Bride of Messiah and by extension, all the Bride of Messiah’ of Israelite decent but that Israelite ancestry is hidden. The ‘rider‘ on the ‘red horse‘ is amongst the ‘Myrtle Trees‘. God is going to use it to make a separation between the Israelite Bride and the nations very soon. He is about to separate the remnant of His people from the gentiles, through the mayhem of the ‘four horsemen‘ and the ‘red horse‘ of ‘war‘ in particular. We are coming into a period of peril, just like the book of Esther where believing faith in Yeshua will be required by the Jewish people and the 10 lost tribes in particular in order to save them from the modern day end times ‘Haman‘, the ‘Antichrist‘. According to Daniel and Thessalonians, He will ‘confirm a covenant with many‘ but war is in his heart and he will set up the ‘Abomination of Desolation‘ and seek to destroy Jewry and those that follow Yeshua.

The pagan name ‘Esther‘, אֶסְתֵּר is related to the word ‘Estarte‘ or ‘Astoroth‘, the goddess of the moon and the hunt. However the name in Hebrew also literally says ‘I will hide‘. The name of the Lord is not used in the book of Esther, God is hiding in the background. Also Esther hides her true Jewish Identity. But in order to save her people she must reveal herself before the King in order to expose Haman, the ‘Agagite‘, who is a descendant through ‘Agag‘ of ‘Amalek‘, Israel’s worst enemy and a descendant of ‘Edom‘. ‘Edom‘ also means ‘red‘, the name for the ‘red horse‘ in Zechariah 1:8 is סוּס אָדֹם, ‘sus adom‘. Thus there is great symbolism in Zechariah pertinant to the end times struggle between the ‘seed of the serpent’ led by the Red Dragon, Satan and the ‘seed of the woman‘ led by Yeshua. ‘Hadassah‘, the ‘myrtle tree‘ who was renamed ‘Esther‘ is a picture of ‘Zion‘, the ‘woman‘. The ‘red horses‘ of ‘war‘, are right there amongst her. They are sent by the Lord to ‘take peace from the earth‘. This is just before the 2nd Exodus. This is just before the ‘red Dragon‘ is cast out of heaven in Revelation 12.

In 2020, about the time of Purim, the masks came on for the beginning of the COVID-19 Plandemic. This was during the Hebrew year that began in September 2019 on Rosh Hashannah (Trumpets). At that time, all the nations of the world, all of them, were in ‘lockstep’ compliance for the coming miracle injection of the mRNA ‘vaccine’ into the veins of mankind. The ‘rider on the white horse’ wears a ‘crown‘ (Latin ‘Corona’). He held a ‘bow‘ (Greek, G5115 τόξον, ‘Toxon’). Was the ‘Corona’ Virus the excuse to inject the real ‘toxin’ into the veins of the public? If that was the 1st Seal of Revelation 6, and they open one year apart, then we are coming to the 7th Seal this feast of trumpets, 2025. The 7th Seal opens the 7 trumpet judgements. I believe they open one month apart because the trumpets are blown at the beginning of every Hebrew month. That means the 7 trumpet judgements occur within the first 7 months of the Hebrew year beginning in Rosh Hashannah. I suspect it begins this year 2025, so I am ‘watching‘. We will have all ‘four horsemen‘ riding plus the martyrdom of the 5^th seal plus the wrath of God of the 6^th seal plus the successive judgements of the trumpet judgements. Things will quickly escalate and we will all know what time we are living in then. The time of speculation is now. My question is do we only have just over a month left of speculation?

If this scenario is the case then the end times ‘destruction’ will indeed come ‘suddenly’ (‘sudden destruction’), I Thessalonians 5:3. This is destruction comes during a period when they are saying ‘peace and safety/security’. Read my previous article on that. Just before the ‘four winds‘ blow upon the earth the 144,000 are ‘sealed‘. This could be by the end of Tabernacles this year at the latest.

So my question is, are the ‘four winds’ about to blow? Are they the ‘four horsemen’ of Revelation 6 and Zechariah 6? Have the ‘four horseman’ already been loosed, but merely roaming to and fro as Zechariah 1 makes clear. Have they been held back on standby until the 7th Seal in order for the 144,000 to be sealed. Is it all about to ‘hit the fan’? Are both Israel and ‘Babylon America‘ about to be attacked suddenly? Is the Antichrist about to rise? And will the ‘Third temple’ be built after the coming ‘Third World War’?

The Old Covenant vs the New Covenant

The ‘New Covenant’ that we have through Yeshua’s blood was spoken of and clearly defined in the ‘Old Testament’ scriptures in Jeremiah 31.

Jeremiah 31:31
31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

So we see that the new covenant is made with both houses of Israel and Judah. This has come to individuals for the last 2000 years almost. Indeed it has come to gentiles as well as Israel and Judah. But it hasn’t come in it’s fullness to the entire nation of Israel and Judah. The Torah and the Prophets look forward to the full restoration of the ‘New Covenant’ where the Torah is written upon our hearts and the Kingdom of God comes to the earth and Yeshua returns.

The Torah is all about Yeshua, from the light of creation that shines in the darkness in Genesis 1 through to the full restoration in Revelation 22. Yeshua is the Word of God, John 1, He was there in the beginning. He is the Aleph and the Tav in the first verse of the bible. He is the Son (Bar, בר) above all other sons, in the first two letters of Genesis (Bereishit, בְּרֵאשִׁית). Those that say that the Jews have their own covenant with God and don’t need the gospel, do not believe the words of Jeremiah or the Torah itself. If we are listening to Torah we will receive the one that the Law spoke of, Yeshua, Luke 24:44, John 5:46. The fact that Jews do not receive Yeshua shows that they do not believe the words of Moses, at least not fully. Some like doubting Thomas, will not believe until they see Him face to face when He returns to defend the remnant in Jerusalem, Zechariah 12. The Torah is a ‘schoolmaster’ to bring us to the Messiah, Galatians 3:24. Justification has always been by faith. Faith is believing what God has said. We are justified by our faith, Galatians 3, Romans 5. And faith is doing it, faith has works, works of faith, James 2:24-25! We show by what we do who’s seed we are. If we ‘love one another’, John 13:34-35 (arguing ‘torah following’ messianics take note) and ‘continue’ in His Word then we are His ‘disciples indeed’, John 8:31.

So anyway, the ‘New Testament’, the ‘New Covenant’, is defined as writing the ‘law’, the ‘Torah’, upon the ‘hearts’ (not just ‘heads’) of the ‘house of Israel’ and the ‘house of Judah’. The law does not go away, but it is fulfilled in us by faith through the ultimate outpouring of the Holy Spirit that leads to the resurrection from the dead, Psalm 133.

Many in the Messianic movement have received the Torah upon their ‘heads’ only, and they have become puffed up with what little they know. What tree are we really eating from? Getting knowledge without wisdom is like eating from the tree of knowledge in the garden of God from the hand of the serpent, it only breaks relationships. It has not born good fruit in our soul because the ‘head knowledge’ has not led to true ‘deep heartfelt repentance’, it has not impacted our character. We are quick to speak and slow to listen. We are all about being right, instead of speaking from a broken and contrite heart. We are using truth as a weapon when it is not the correct time for that. We need to be Spirit led not led by our flesh that becomes lifted up through knowledge and self. Many have been made worse through head knowledge without a broken and contrite heart. The bible says that before contention comes, cometh pride, Proverbs 13:10. I don’t have to try and convince everybody of everything and prove everybody I am right. I often get spoken over and shut down by others talking over me. I simply choose my moments to make a difference. I pray for others. If I cannot share, if the ground is too hard, I leave it. I try to make a difference, but I also pursue peace with all men. There is a time to make a stand, and there is a time to let a matter go. Wisdom is to know what is appropriate at the time. We have to often wrestle in prayer not to become bitter because of the rejection that comes when our words are dismissed by others. True Torah obedience and the revelation that comes through it is also a cross to bare. Solomon was given wisdom and his observation was that grief and sorrow come through much wisdom.

Ecclesiastes 1:18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

True Torah ‘wisdom‘ leads to ‘much grief‘ and increasing ‘knowledge‘ leads to increasing ‘sorrow‘ in this world. Why is that? Well personally I have found that nobody wants to know? It can be lonely because we get punished by the sea of ignorance and pride that we sail upon. It hurts when you see what is coming or that something is wrong and people don’t want to know. It is especially difficult when you get shut down by believers that don’t want to know or actually resent your wisdom or understanding. There is a lot of carnality within us and around us. I find torah knowledge sweet to my taste, but just like the prophet’s it can be sour in our stomach. Ezekiel was give words on a ‘roll‘ that contained his prophecies and prophetic mission.

Ezekiel 3:1-3
1 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

The sweeter the taste, the more difficult will be the task, if we are to give truth to people. Often the Lord sends the prophets to a rebellious people that despise what they are told. This so often is God’s people. Very religious, but very rebellious. This is not just an ‘old testament thing‘. I believe John is one of the two witnesses, he has a job to do in the end times. I believe He is the disciple that would not die until Yeshua returns. He has lived 2000 years upon the earth in accordance with Ecclesiastes 6:6. I wont get into that now. John was given a little book that was sweet to eat, but was bitter in his belly. He had a job to do in the future, ‘Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings‘. The next chapter following these words is about the ‘two witnesses‘.

Revelation 10:9-11
9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
10 And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

To be Yeshua’s disciples is a cross. He may require something for the knowledge that you gain. Do you still want the truth quite as much? Do you still want true Torah knowledge? How far up the mountain are we willing to climb? There is a price to pay for it!

We will be persecuted and hated for what we know. We can be resented or people can be jealous, even God’s people. We can be hated by religious people and by secular. ‘Knowledge‘ of the ‘word‘ of God, like ‘honey‘ is ‘sweet‘, but it brings ‘sorrow‘. I believe it is worth it to be awake. This is why as Moses climbed the mountain of God he got to a place that other’s couldn’t follow. In order for Paul to complete his mission he was alone in the end. True torah knowledge is a cross to bear. Yeshua told us that in the ‘world’ we will have ‘tribulation’, John 16:33, but we must not be discouraged, Yeshua has ‘overcome the world’, and so shall we ‘overcome’ through Him. We don’t overcome the world by what we know, but through Yeshua Himself. What we know is an aid, but our eyes need to be upon Him, like Peter in the boat. What we truly know will be proved in the storm more than the debating chamber. This is heart knowledge. Yeshua said that if we are to follow Him, we must carry our cross and follow Him. He is the Torah made flesh. If we want Torah then there is a price to pay. If you want to climb the mountain, the air gets colder and thinner as you ascend, and there are less folks with you. At the top of the mountain is the Lord with a smile, a hot cup of soup and a shiny ‘crown of thorns’ with your name on it. Your earned it, but the thorns transform into horns of light that radiates the light of the Son of God Himself. Victory is in a person, not a thing. Knowledge is the husk, but the essence of it is our spiritual connection to our maker. That is true knowledge. True knowledge comes through true suffering and overcoming by our faith in Him. True Torah followers should be the most peaceful and humble people you meet on earth. The ‘self’ of the ‘carnal nature’ should have been crucified many times over as the Torah follower climbs the ‘mountain of God’. Those lacking humility, those full of pride and contention, do not follow Torah. They merely have the husks of truth, but the true and spiritual essence of it does not dwell with them, it dwells in the broken hearts of the humble.

The ‘Tribulation‘ will bring true wisdom to our hearts as we learn, like Jacob at the ‘ford of Jabbok’, when our worst fears come, to trust in the Lord, wrestle in prayer through every trial until we gain the spiritual victory, Genesis 32:22. What we face in the natural has it’s roots in the supernatural. Whether confronting a ‘fiery red haired brother’ called ‘Edom’ or a ‘fiery red Dragon’ we will meet both wisdom and prayer in the name of Yeshua. In the moment of our ‘tribulation‘ when Satan opposes us, we meet the ‘Son of God‘ and He asks us our ‘name‘. That is our ‘Peniel‘ where we see God is in this place and we see His Face, the ‘Face of God‘. We have a ‘name‘, we are connected, we are family and we are ‘One‘ as He is One. The Bride shall be in ‘pain‘, but she shall be shining. This ‘pain‘ of ‘tribulation‘ will sift us and separate true from false brethren – this process hurts. The ‘tribulation‘ is necessary because of the hardness of our stubborn hearts. Believing and faithful Zion shall be crying out in pain as the Dragon comes down with great wrath, Revelation 12. This world is about to be invaded. The Arch Angel Michael and his Angels shall fight for Zion, Daniel 12. The 144,000 manchild company shall be ‘raptured‘ as firstfruits and return for the fight as the 2^nd Exodus comes to the remnant in ‘Babylon America‘ and elsewhere. The Holy Spirit shall be pouring out upon our thirsty hearts. No more bitterness and striving, but shalom in the midst of the earth shaking and our world on fire and our cities broken down and ruined. This could be 2026! Like Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Princess Lea, Zion shall escape the ‘Deathstar‘ of Satan’s Kingdom of Darkness. She shall make her escape to the ‘wilderness‘ where the Rebel Alliance will set up camp on the Mountain of God, Mount Sinai, Psalm 68. That shall be the beachhead for the invasion of Heaven upon the earth. Over the next 7 years Satan and His ‘Beast Kingdom‘ will both rise and be destroyed step by step. And finally Yeshua will take this world by force and we shall take the ‘Promised Land‘ and Heaven will be ours also!

Just as the Torah and the ‘Old Covenant’ came to all Israel after the exodus from Egypt, so in these last days, history shall repeat. The ‘New Covenant’ will come in it’s fullness after the 2^nd Exodus from the ‘land of the North’ (‘Babylon America‘) and all the nations the Jews (‘house of Judah’) and the 10 lost tribes of the ‘house of Israel’ are scattered in, Jeremiah 3:18, 23:8, 50:3. America has become a form of Babylon and will suffer the same fate. (After America is destroyed by nuclear fire, Babylon and ‘wickedness’ will return to the land of ‘Shinar’ where the original Babylon was built, Zechariah 5. This will become the new seat of the Beast System of Revelation 13 onwards).

Getting back to the 2^nd Exodus from ‘Babylon America‘ and elsewhere, there will be sign given to those that are watching. ‘Sudden destruction’ will come through ‘Peace’. The declaration of a ‘Palestinian State’ in the mountains of Israel and Judah and the confirming of the ‘Abraham Accords’ will most likely initiate war and not peace. They have parted the God’s land, Joel 3:2, which brings a curse, Genesis 12:3. This curse will devour the whole earth, Zechariah 5:3, Isaiah 24:6. Famine will come and the seed of Jacob shall be thinned out, Isaiah 17. The total destruction of Damascus will be the sign for this. I suspect this shall happen just before or more likely, just after the ‘Abraham Accords’ are signed and the ‘Palestinian State’ is declared. Israel will be invaded.

To get the Jews and 10 lost tribes Israelites out of ‘Babylon America‘ and the nations will require the massive judgements that are just about to fall after World War 3 when the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse will bring war everywhere in the world. War will destroy ‘Babylon America‘ and the state of Israel will have suffered greatly but will have survived as Isaiah 29 makes clear. See my previous article concerning this, ‘Timeline to Tribulation & Kingdom: Part 2 – The Abraham Accords’. A portion of the Jews in the modern state of Israel will die, a portion will go into temporary exile and a portion will survive and the ‘third temple’ will be built.

The ‘New Covenant’ does not negate the plan of God for a ‘physical temple’ when he regathers all of ‘Israel and Judah’. There will be a temple in existence in the Millennial Reign of Yeshua. And there will be one in existence during the tribulation. The current job of the ‘house of Israel’ is not to fuss about a temple but to deal with sin within by the blood of the Lamb and prepare for the 2^nd Exodus, the rapture and the coming return of King Yeshua. If we don’t go up in the air and we don’t die then we are going on a trek to the wilderness.

Judah (the Jewish People) in the land of Israel, in the modern state of Israel are going to go through ‘great tribulation’ shortly because as a nation, they are in rebellion to the Messiah, they don’t listen to the still small voice of prophecy, they have not believed in Yeshua. And the same is true for the 10 lost tribes of the house of Israel, there is ‘great tribulation’ coming to them because they prefer religion to obedience to Yeshua’s commandments and they exasperate the Spirit of Holiness. There is only a very small remnant that truly follow Yeshua and hear from the Holy Spirit. We have a lot of pretenders and fakers that say they believe, but the ‘tribulation‘ will test our hearts. The ‘tribulation‘ is necessary because hearts are hard and the wheel needs to break open the hard shall of the seed for the light to penetrate and for many to get real with God. Now that is the situation, that is what happens to Jacob when the ‘iniquity‘ of his ‘heels’ catches up with Him, Psalms 49:5. He has to get real with the Lord at the ‘ford of Jabbock’, when Esau/Satan is coming for him. At the exact same time the Lord will do miracles for his remnant in both houses, Judah and Israel, in the land of Canaan and ‘Babylon America‘. Both good and evil will occur at the exact same time depending on what tree we are eating from. Do we truly follow Yeshua? I will highlight later some verses of hope for the Jewish people in the land of Israel in the time of the ‘third temple’, the tribulation temple which will see both miracles of glory and the abomination of desolation.

Of course historically Christians automatically assumed through the centuries that God has done away with the very idea of the temple because we are the temple of God and Yeshua said it was finished and so on and so forth. Now there will be no need for a temple in the New Jerusalem upon the New Earth. But there is one after the 7 seals are released. And there is one throughout the 1000 years that Yeshua reigns as King of Kings upon the earth. We will discuss details of the temples shortly.

Right now however we are about to see World War 3 erupt and Israel and ‘Babylon America‘ attacked. The AI technology behind the Beast system along with it’s tracking of our biometrics and connection to a cashless digital ID is quickly coming together under president Trump. All they need now is the world war to create the chaos to allow them to bring it all online. Meanwhile most Christians and Messianics have their heads in the sand and definitely do not want to know about it. They may see it coming but they are afraid of prophecy and prefer to live in ‘lalaland‘. However the Lord has a rescue plan called the 2^nd Exodus, as well as ‘firstfruits’ raptures. But most believers have no idea. They fear Satan more than the Lord when it comes to prophecy. Only a remnant will be saved. Right now the church is in full blown apostasy but a remnant is coming together. God is looking for hearts that fear Him, not the end times. The ‘remnant’ are the ones that ‘remain’ after the judgement has passed through our lands. Although they remain, they don’t remain in ‘Babylon America‘ or any other ‘daughters of Babylon‘. The exit these burnt out nations. They walk through flood and fire, Isaiah 43:2, on the 2^nd Exodus.

When the remnant of Israel & Judah leaves ‘Babylon America‘, they will go to the wilderness of Mt Sinai for 3.5 years. Then they shall return to the land. Meanwhile the ‘house of Judah’ (Jews) in the modern state of Israel will be doing sacrifices in ‘third temple’ with the 7 year covenant confirmed between the Antichrist and the ‘many’ that go along with it. This is where it gets complicated because there is a ‘good’ and ‘evil’ part to what is going on in this ‘third temple’.

Good & Evil & the Third Temple

As I said in the Introduction,

“The topic of the ‘third temple’ stirs hearts one way or the other. Is it ‘good’ or is it ‘evil’? The controversy sounds a bit like the Tree of knowledge to me.”

On the one side are those that don’t believe in Yeshua or His Atonement, and on the other are those that do believe. And in the middle are believers that believe both in the Third Temple and the New Covenant.

Some spiritual leaders think that the ends justifies the means when it comes to building the temple. There are Jews and Gentiles that think it is some sort of magic box that solves everything. But like the garden of God, we need to be careful what tree we eat from. Sacrifices whether good or evil are a matter of the heart and intent. We will look at Cain and Able and the religious Spirit verses the Holy Spirit.

We know that former temples have been built in holiness and desecrated by foreign invaders when Israel’s people and religious leaders refused to listen to the prophets. The pattern is set to continue because we know that the Antichrist will ‘confirm a covenant with many’ for a week (most likely 7 years) and in the midst of the years he will stop the sacrifices and set up the ‘Abomination of Desolation’. The question is not “will there be a temple?” but rather, is it a ‘holy endevour or not?”. Or is it even more complicated than that?”

On the interior of the Ezekiel’s temple doorways were engraved lions and palmtrees and the cherubic face of a man. There were cherubims and palmtrees around the walls, Ezekiel 41:19-20. The scene is Eden, a reminder of where we came from before ‘the fall’ when we decided to go about being like ‘god‘ with our own wisdom in disobedience to the voice of God. And a reminder of where we shall return once more.

The ‘temple‘ is thus at the centre of the Edenic struggle between the Serpent and the Woman and their seeds. And so we shall see a great end time struggle in the tribulation temple, the ‘third temple’ as the church age is closed out by the seven seal judgements and the trumpet judgements that follow them. This struggle will continue on the earthly mount Zion until all is fulfilled and sin and iniquity within Israel comes to an end.

Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

The language in this prophecy is related to temple sacrifices and the fulfilment of prophecy. Some could argue that the language could refer to the ‘spiritual temple‘, ‘us‘. I also agree. However in the light of other prophecies it is clear that there will be a ‘third temple’, the ‘tribulation temple’ and that sin won’t be dealt with until both ‘vision’ and ‘prophecy’ have been fulfilled. It is interesting that the term ‘seal up’ is used to refer to this because the book of Revelation judgements begin with the 7 seals. The ultimate ‘sealing’ of ‘vision and prophecy’ is the book of Revelation which brings all biblical prophecy and vision together with an account of their fulfilment as this verse in Daniel is fulfilled with the second coming.

The New Covenant has not come to the whole ‘house of Israel & Judah’ in it’s fullness yet. We still ‘sin’, ‘transgression’ still occurs and much of ‘prophecy’ has still not been fulfilled (although it is beginning to be fulfilled). We certainly have not come into ‘everlasting righteousness’, but it has been purchased for us at the cross. We still can choose ‘good’ or ‘evil’. We are not in our eternal resurrection bodies just yet.

What happened in the Garden of Eden with the eating from the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of ‘good’ and ‘evil’. Will find it’s ultimate fulfilment in the end times with the final struggle between the ‘seed of the woman’ and the ‘seed of the serpent’. We shall see the 144,000 standing on Mt Zion. We shall see the 2 witnesses in the temple. We shall see the worst of sin and religious bigotry, snobbery and hatred. The last temple was destroyed because of ‘baseless hatred’. The greatest baseless hatred was towards Yeshua the Messiah. Shall this sin be repeated towards Yeshua’s Jewish and Gentile followers during the tribulation? Is this the main reason why the sacrifices will be stopped? How can we sacrifice when we have something against our brother?

I believe that the temple will bring out the best and worst in Jewry and the nations. It is not a magic box but an amplifier of the thoughts and intent of the heart. It is the meeting place between God and man and it is a place of false accusation in a generation of falsehood. It is a place where religion and the Holy Spirit clash. It is a place that can make holy or greatly defile depending upon what is sacrificed there, for ‘good’ or for ‘evil’. We will talk more about that in the next section.

We shall see the Lord ‘suddenly come to His temple’, Malachi 3:1, at His return to save the remnant in Jerusalem, Zechariah 14. The passage in Malachi says “His Temple”. It is not the Antichrist’s temple, even if he desecrates it. So what is going on. We will unpack that later. The main point here is that the ‘Temple’ is like a touchstone between two kingdoms, light and darkness. The Lord will use it to thunder forth His word via His two witnesses and Satan will desecrate it via the Antichrist with an ‘abomination’ in the Holy place, midway through the 7 (‘week’/shavuo/seven) (year?) covenant that he ‘confirms’, Daniel 9:27, when the ‘transgressors are come to the full’. The number seven is interesting here. It is noteworthy that there are seven main ‘Noahide laws’. Will this be part of the covenant that the Antichrist confirms, along with the ‘Abraham Agreements’?

The main ‘takeaway’ from this section here is that the ‘temple’ is ‘ground zero’ in the Edenic battle between ‘good’ and ‘evil’ and two seed lines, the ‘serpent’ and the ‘woman’ (Zion). The temple is only a blessing if what is done within it is ‘good’ and from the Holy Spirit. But does God want physical sacrifices from people that don’t believe in His Son? Does He want sacrifices from religious people that hate the very one that is both יהוה and the Torah made flesh?

The Sacrifices of Cain & Able, Religion vs Spirit

Before we concern ourselves with details of temples and sacrifices we must understand some spiritual principles concerning them. As I have said before, this is not a ‘magical’ thing, where we just do certain things or mumble certain magic words and our sacrifices are received. God is concerned about where our hearts are at with Him than the sacrifices themselves. This is true for physical sacrifices in temples of stones and in our personal lives when we sacrifice things in our lives, like time, money, career, lusts or our will in general etc.

Let’s get back to the beginning of sacrifices and offerings. We know that the Lord sacrificed an animal to cover Adam’s nakedness. When it comes to mankind making sacrifices and offerings our first account is telling indeed and it has implications for the end times because the Lord has been the one ‘declaring the end from the beginning’, Isaiah 46:10. In Genesis we read that Able’s sacrifice was accepted and Cain’s was not. The Lord had ‘respect‘ for Abel and his offering. It was not just the offering, but Abel himself was accepted or had ‘respect‘. The reason for this is implied in the text. It was not what was sacrificed that was the issue but what was in Cain’s heart.

Genesis 4:4-7
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

When confronted ‘Cain was very wroth‘ and his ‘countenance fell‘. When the ‘religious spirit‘ is exposed and confronted it refuses true repentance. The sacrifice or offering could be scriptural. It is not about the technicalities of the offering, but about the heart that offers it. The Lord saw something in Cain that made Him refuse his offering. What was this thing that displeased the Lord in Cain? The answer is that there was ‘sin‘ lying at the ‘door‘ of Cain’s heart. The Lord gave Cain opportunity to rectify this but he did not, but followed through with murdering his Brother. The bible tells us that he who hates his brother is a murderer, I John 3:15. The bible also says that ‘only by pride cometh contention’. Hence Cain hated his brother Abel because he was proud. And because he was proud he resolved to murder his brother rather than humble himself. This is the essence of the religious spirit, it is proud and it murders. The bible says that ‘the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life’. We can actually do the right thing, even the correct sacrifice but with the wrong heart motivation. And the intent is the crucial thing.

Able, הָבֶל, was a ‘righteous’ man of ‘faith’.

Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

And for his ‘faith’ he was murdered by his ‘proud‘ ‘religious‘ brother, ‘Cain‘. Cain was of the ‘wicked one‘. He followed through with his hatred and pride, and murdered his brother.

I John 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.

This is a picture of the end times. We see in the book of Revelation a religious whore, drunk with the blood of the saints.

Revelation 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

Now this religious whore is called ‘mystery Babylon’ in the preceding verse. We see this murdering spirit in Islam and other religions. But it is also present much closer to home. We see it in Catholicism in the ‘Inquisitions’ and other murderous rampages. We see it even amongst early Protestants with Luther condemning Anabaptist’s. And we see it in Judaism amongst the Pharisees and Sadducees that condemned and sentenced Yeshua to death and handed Him to the Romans for crucifixion.

I have seen this murderous spirit not only amongst Christians that hate their brother or sister but sadly I have seen it even more amongst those that claim to follow Torah. There is such division and animosity amongst many that claim to know stuff. And the attitude of hate is the ‘mark of Cain’ the murderer.

It is true that there are necessarily differences of opinion, but we must guard our hearts against a root of bitterness that turns to hatred and the spirit of murder.

The letter truly kills. And in the last days we shall see this reach it’s apex as the beast system hunts down and kills the followers of Yeshua that did not make the escape to the wilderness in the ‘2^nd Exodus’ or were ‘raptured’.

In the book of Ecclesiastes we read the following phrase repeated often.

Ecclesiastes 1:2
Vanity <Havel, הֲבֵל> of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
הֲבֵל הֲבָלִים אָמַר קֹהֶלֶת הֲבֵל הֲבָלִים הַכֹּל הָֽבֶל׃

The word translated ‘Vanity’ in Hebrew is ‘havel’, הָֽבֶל. Now this is the same spelling as the name Abel, הָבֶל. Ecclesiastes is read during the feast of Sukkot (Tabernacles). Sukkot is a picture of the Millennial Reign of Yeshua and Israel safely dwelling together in booths (Sukahs) after the exodus. How strange to be talking about something so depressing in the feast of joy, Sukkot? Later in the book we read the following…

Ecclesiastes 9:12 For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

The book of proverbs tells us that the wicked desire the net of evil men.

Proverbs 12:12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.

And so we see today, that the ‘wicked’ that are in power are creating a system of legal and technological AI driven entrapment. This is the ‘evil net’ and the ‘evil time’ spoken of in Ecclesiastes. Literally it is an ‘evil internet’ and banking system along with everything else. The Termanator beast system is being set up by those in power. This is the ultimate fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, Murder.

The judgements and the beast system of the Tribulation is the ‘evil net’ that falls upon the ‘sons of men’ like ‘fishes’ caught in a ‘snare’. This corresponds to the parable of the net in Matthew 13.

Matthew 13:47-49
47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Thus we see that the Lord shall use the ‘angels’ to separate the ‘wicked’ from the ‘just’. We see in Ecclesiastes that evil men cast an evil net and that they seek to slay the righteous. We see that religious pride is the very root of Satanism and the spirit of murder. We see it in world religions and sadly amongst those that claim to follow Torah and Yeshua. This religious spirit is present within Judaism and within apostate Christianity. It is also present amongst many of those that claim to follow Torah. I have never seen so many proud people as when I come to some congregations that claim to follow Torah. Sadly many folks get puffed up with a bit of knowledge instead of truly being edified. Torah should lead us to Yeshua and a broken and contrite spirit. Otherwise it is another Spirit, not the Holy Spirit that is leading us. The Religious Spirit is proud and murderous. The religious Spirit is full of contention, bitterness and hatred.

In the end times we shall see plenty of ‘Abels’ slain by the ‘Cains’ of this world. And religion is at the centre of it all.

Yeshua warned his Jewish disciples and those that believe in Him throughout time. Religion hates Yeshua’s true sheep, even as it hates the Shepherd, even while claiming to follow Him. Religion kills! And as they are killing you they think that they are serving God!

John 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

This is why I am labouring the point about our ‘sacrifices‘ and ‘offerings‘. Whether we are offering sacrifices in a ‘temple‘ or ‘bodily‘ in our lives, the most important question is why are we doing it, and is it something that the Lord accepts? Are our hearts right? Yeshua warned his disciples that if we call our brother a fool we are in danger of ‘hell fire’, Matthew 5:22. He further warned us that if our hearts are not right with our brother, then we should not bring our gift to the altar without being reconciled.

Matthew 5:24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

If we are not reconciled with our brother then we are walking the way of Cain. If we are at peace with our brother, then we are walking in the way of Able. So this instruction by Yeshua clearly goes back to the story of Cain and Able. Failure to listen to this instruction clearly points to the ‘end times’ ‘religious harlot’ that murders the followers of Yeshua.

And so what is in our hearts is of central concern to the Lord, and He does not accept offerings while there is pride and hatred towards our brother or sister.

Now in the end times there will be a temple in Jerusalem once more as the book of Daniel and Revelation make clear.

I see much ‘worldliness’, ‘sin’ and ‘pride’ and ‘self will’ and ‘hatred’ in Apostate Christendom and within the ‘Torah observant’ Messianic community that shows the religion of ‘Cain’ rather than that of ‘Abel’.

The bible makes it clear what the Lord thinks of ‘Pride’. ‘Pride’ is the sin of Satan. It is related to the five ‘I will’s of Lucifer in Isaiah 14:12-14. Leviathan symbolises this pride. All his sons and daughters are children of pride. It is a religious spirit. It is the spirit of Jezebel that killed the prophets and the whore of Babylon. ‘Pride’ is an ‘abomination’ before the Lord.

Proverbs 16:5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

This ‘proud’, ‘religious spirit’ is pure ‘evil’, it is the essence of the religion of Cain, a heart that is actually not selfless but ‘self willed’. This ‘unbroken will’ hates the righteous, will not receive correction and will find it’s ultimate expression in the persecution and murder of the followers of Yeshua and that in turn will be capped by the Antichrist’s ‘Abomination of Desolation’ in the ‘temple of God’. At that time, those in Jerusalem are to flee to the mountains.

We have looked at the offerings of ‘Cain’ and ‘Able’ and I have shown essential principle for determining if a gift or sacrifice or offering is truly ‘acceptable’ to the Lord. And in essence, it is what is really in our hearts? Is it from a broken and contrite heart? Or is it from a proud heart? Is it from someone truly reconciled to God or someone with a ‘religious spirit’?

Now just because there will be a time when the temple should be built, it doesn’t mean that the Lord is happy with temple worship and sacrifices if there is no humility! The scripture below in Isaiah 66 is just before we read of Zion bringing forth the ‘manchild‘ and in pain to be delivered of her ‘children‘ in verses 7and 8. These are the two groups of 144,000. Apostastate ‘temple worship’ from a ‘proud religious spirit‘ is mentioned first.

Isaiah 66:1-

1 Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog’s neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine’s blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.
4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.

A ‘dog’s neck‘, ‘swine’s blood‘ and ‘idol‘ worship does not sound like the ‘sacrifices‘ that the Lord delights in. The Lord God of Israel sees the ‘heart‘. And no ‘sacrifice‘ is acceptable from a proud heart. The Lord looks to the one that is of a ‘poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word‘. He says that he will choose their ‘delusions‘ if they have ‘chosen their own ways‘! Is this not Judaism that rejects the Messiah Yeshua? Of course it is. Does this mean that temple worship is wrong? Not necessarily. But it does mean that the Lord does not accept ‘sacrifice‘ from someone that isn’t right with Him!

If you read the list above you should know that if the ‘heart‘ is ‘wrong‘ all ‘sacrifices‘ are ‘wrong‘. This is prophecy. Many will ‘sacrifice‘ in a ‘temple‘ in the near future with a ‘heart‘ that is deluded. Is it the ‘temple‘ or ‘sacrificial system‘ that is at fault or is it a ‘haughty religious spirit‘? There will be a time to build a ‘temple‘ and ‘sacrifice‘ and a time to refrain from that. And there will be a time when it should be done, but if it is done with a ‘wrong heart‘ it is still an ‘abomination‘!

We have also seen from scripture that there will be future temples until the new heaven and earth. The God of Israel wants the gentiles to be close to him and to be a part of the temple activity during the Millennium. There will be even punishments if they don’t come. And we have seen that there will be some differences between what happened in past temples and in the future ones. There is a ‘change in the law’ because certain things are fulfilled. This may include the high priest applying the blood on the mercy seat in Yom Kippur. It may no longer be necessary to do this. Israel will not require atonement because the law will already be upon their heart, through the coming of the New Covenant in it’s completeness, along with the tendency to sin contained in the flesh, the carnal nature of Israel. Yeshua has fulfilled this through his blood and death and His Spirit has been poured out on both houses of Israel and Judah (which has not happened yet collectively). But no matter what is different in the law and the temple system, the main aspect that is emphasized in scripture is that the main purpose of these future ‘sacrifices‘ and ‘offerings‘ in these ‘future temples‘ is ‘worship’.

And now we need to discuss the scriptures concerning the future temple worship and sacrificial system.

Millennial Temple Sacrifices & Worship

In Hebrews chapter 9 we read that Yeshua the Messiah purchased our redemption through the ‘sacrifice‘ of Himself. He was both the ‘sacrifice‘ and the ‘priest‘ of a higher order through his own sacrifice. Not with the blood of fulls and goats, Hebrews 9:13. The ‘New Covenant/Testament’ comes through the blood of Yeshua. His body actually had to die to bring this New Testament into effect, Hebrews 9:13. Only his sacrifice could purge our consciences. Only his sacrifice could bring us peace with God and one another, Ephesians 2:14.

So why is there need for a future temple? If we are reconciled to God through Yeshua, then why still have future sacrifices? Does God want sacrifices in a ‘physical temple‘? Well according to scripture yes he will, there will be a future temple with sacrifices. So we will look at a few scriptures showing this shortly. But the question of why have a temple if we are already reconciled should be answered first. And it is thus apparent that the temple is not about reconciliation. We are reconciled through Messiah. On top of this, if we are in our resurrection bodies during the Millennium ruled by Yeshua then we don’t need sacrifices for sin or reconciliation. If we read the scriptures concerning the future temples it is more to do with worship and honouring the King, not as a means of redemption through the blood of bulls and goats. Let’s look at some scriptures.

It may seem to many Christians very odd, old fashioned, anachronistic or legalistic, but the bible makes clear that there will be a future temple. The Lord has a plan for both Israel and the nations, they are to work together and worship, serve and pray together. The ‘temple’ is not just for Israel but it is a ‘house of prayer’ for ‘all people’. Indeed at that near future time according to Isaiah 56:3-5 the Lord makes a special promise to the ‘eunuchs that keep my Sabbaths’ and ‘take hold of my covenant’, he will make them a name better than sons or daughters’. And in the next verse, those that are not eunuchs but simply ‘the stranger’, Isaiah 56:6, if they ‘serve him’ and ‘love the name of the Lord to be his servants’ then He will make them ‘Joyful in my house of prayer’ if they ‘take hold of His covenant’. So the emphasis here is on spiritual things. However there is still ‘burnt offerings’ and ‘sacrifices’, Isaiah 56:7.

Isaiah 56:7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

So the Temple has physical sacrifices, it is not about salvation by the blood of bulls and goats, but about service. From a practical point of view, some of the sacrifices get burnt up, but some are eaten. So nobody starves at the God’s ‘house of prayer’, the ‘temple’.

Yeshua is a priest but not a Levitical priest. He was from Judah not Levi. His priesthood is through his work on the cross as the sinless lamb of God. Yeshua’s priesthood is through his own blood. He is both the sacrifice and the priest through that perfect sacrifice.

In the Levitical system, there was an Atonement made ‘once’ a year by the high priest, Exodus 30:10, Hebrews 9:7. So I suspect that this part of the Torah may not need to be fulfilled in the future during the day of Atonement, because Yeshua has done this by the ‘sacrifice of himself’, ‘once’, by his own blood and death on the cross.

Hebrews 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

So Yeshua has performed ‘once‘ and forever, never to be repeated, what was done by the Levitical high priest once per year.

And this is perhaps part of what is meant by a ‘change’ of ‘priesthood’ bringing a ‘change also of the law’.

Hebrews 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

So we may not see the Atonement performed by a Levitical priest in the temple service in the Millennium after Yeshua returns. It’s already been done ‘once‘ and forever. So this part of the law is fulfilled, and does not need to be repeated. This is what it means by a ‘change in the law‘. But unlike what most christians historically believed, this does not mean that there will not be a physical ‘temple‘ with sacrifices. But these sacrifices are not about making reconciliation or bringing peace between God and man. Yeshua did that already. These sacrifices and offerings are about service and worship by both Israel and the nations, as I stated earlier.

So getting back to Isaiah 56, there will be sacrifices and offerings in a future temple. But what is the time that this prophecy is speaking of?

The next verse in Isaiah 56 states the context here is for a regathered Israel, and that the Lord will gather others.

Isaiah 56:8 The Lord God which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.

So this is still yet future because ‘the outcasts of Israel’ have not been regathered. And they are the actual remnant that follows Yeshua as I will explain. They are cast out by their unbelieving brethren during the tribulation, both from the Jews and the 10 lost tribes of the House of Israel scattered in ‘Babylon America‘ and all the other daughters of Babylon. They are the ‘woman in the wilderness’ who flees from the dragon, Revelation 12. They are the ones in the 15 Songs of Accent, Psalm 120 to 134. They are the peaceful ones that are evil spoken of in Psalm 120. They are the ones fleeing to the ‘hills’ in a time of persecution and the resurrection of the evil dead in Psalm 121. This occurs in ‘Babylon America‘ and world wide in all the other little Babylons.

This is why I have also laboured to talk about religious pride in general and in Judah and Ephraim in particular. The religiously proud will cast out the humble ‘outcasts of Israel’. The shepherds (Pastors) of the house of Israel will scatter the sheep on the mountains. I see pastors and leaders of Messianic fellowships casting out the real believers very soon. The religious will be ‘proud’ and do ‘evil’, thinking they are ‘serving God’. The true sheep will be humble.

But there is some good news, the very casting out of the ‘outcasts of Israel’ will save their lives. And even though they will be scattered, the good Shepherd will search for them upon every hill.

Ezekiel 34:6,11
6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.
11 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.

The Lord keeps his covenant, the Lord neither slumbers nor sleeps. When we look to the hills, our help comes from the Lord, Psalm 121 fulfilled to the letter.

Getting back to the subject of proof of future worship and service in a future temple in Jerusalem, the nations are commanded to attend at least the ‘feast of Tabernacles’, the seventh feast.

Zechariah 14:16-19
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

Now although it doesn’t say there is a temple in the verses above, it does say in verse 21 that ‘in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts’. This implies that there is a ‘house of the Lord’ there, that is, a temple. ‘House’ in this context means the ‘temple’. Yeshua referred to the temple of Herod, the ‘second Temple’, as ‘My Father’s House’, John 2:16. We will look at some verses concerning the ‘third temple’ in Jerusalem during the tribulation and then the ‘fourth temple’ shortly.

So temple sacrifices in the Millennial Kingdom of Yeshua is mandatory upon Israel and the nations that survive the tribulation. It is not about earning salvation but about ‘service’ and ‘worship’ and having a name ‘better than sons or daughters’.

Although there will be temple worship in a future temple, the means of salvation is only by faith in Yeshua, it comes to those that believe in Yeshua and not to those that do not believe. Salvation is purchased in His blood. The Atonement through the blood of Yeshua has purchased salvation for all that believe on His name, both Jew and Gentile. There is a ‘change in the law’ in the sense that Yeshua was not from the tribe of Levi or a descendant of Aaron and so his priest hood is over a different order. To my understanding there is no need for Levitical High Priest to apply blood on the mercy seat for Israel or the nations to bring about a yearly temporary ‘Atonement’ on the ‘Day of Atonement’, Yom Kippur. This is especially so, since the ‘New Covenant’ will come in it’s fullness to all the house of Judah and Israel with the final outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Because this will lead to the resurrection when Israel is in unity, Psalm 133, even life forever more. But the worship, service and memorial aspects of the feasts and temple sacrificial system still apply in the millennium. The Levitical Priesthood of Levi is not done away with the Melchizedek priesthood of Yeshua. They both apply to different things. There are some aspects that were temporary that are fulfilled in Messiah. But others remain through the 1000 years reign of Messiah.

The Past 1^st & 2^nd & the Future 3^rd & 4^th Temples

The 1^st Temple was built by Solomon and destroyed by Babylon. The 2^nd Temple was built after the 70 year Babylonian exile in the days of Zerubbabel and Ezra. The prophet’s Haggai and Zechariah were contemporaries at this time and encouraged the building of the ‘House’ of the Lord when many were feeling discouraged. King Herod rebuilt this temple and made it higher and greatly beautified it with marble and gold so that it was too bright to look at when the sun shone upon it. Ultimately the Son of God shone upon it as our Lord Yeshua walked there with His disciples. The glory of the Lord actually walked within its precincts. Early Jewish believers worshipped God and met together on the temple grounds.

Acts 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

So the early church was in existence while the ‘temple’ stood and was part of their regular ‘daily’ life as Jewish believers in Yeshua. Read the early chapters of Acts 2 to 5 and you will see that it was a focal point of activity of the ‘church’. It was a place where teaching, healings, debates and persecution by unbelieving religious authorities occurred. So the temple and Christianity are not mutually exclusive as many think. The ‘temple’ is in existence when Israel is in the Land.

Note that the fact that there is no temple at present in the Holy Land shows that the current regathering of Jews in the land, is still in ‘spiritual exile’ even though they are ‘physically there’. They are still in Babylonian/Roman exile in their ‘souls’ so to speak. But things are changing rapidly now as a ‘spiritual awakening’ is in progress. The Jewish people as a nation have not turned to Yeshua, only individuals. But they are awakening to Moses and the Torah as well as the traditions of the Pharisees. Not all traditions are bad. But there are traditions that nullify, make void and transgress the law, Matthew 15:3. Yeshua came to witness to the law and bring reform as well as declare his Messiahship. Alas He was rejected, and through that rejection he purchased the redemption to Israel and the nations. Paul stated that we establish the law. The torah is actually bound to the Lord’s disciples, Isaiah 8:16. Satan the adversary can use tradition to nullify the Law. And that is where conflict will come in these ‘end times’ as the Lord deals with his people during the ‘tribulation’, the time of Jacob’s trouble, Jeremiah 30:7. This ‘tribulation’ includes the descendants of Jacob amongst the 10 lost tribes of the House of Israel, the Christians/Messianics in ‘Babylon America‘ and elsewhere.

So anyway the ‘temple’ was central to the ‘daily’ lives of the first Christians in Jerusalem. It was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD. As the ‘church age’ draws to a close the temple will be rebuilt. The prophecies in Haggai and Zechariah link the ‘2^ndtemple’ that was rebuilt by Herod with the soon to be built ‘3^rdtemple’, they link the first and second coming of Yeshua, as I will explain shortly.

When the 2^nd Exodus occurs during the ‘time of trouble’ (tribulation), when Michael and His Angels are fighting, there will be a resurrection, Daniel 12, Revelation 12. With the resurrection there will be a great earthquake that will shake the earth, Isaiah 24. After this we will see the building of the 3^rd temple, during a time where the ‘heavens and the earth’ are ‘shaken’ as I will describe later in the section about Haggai.

In Ezekiel 40 onwards we see the description of a temple that has never been built. The temple itself is the standard size, but the courtyard is large. In order to build it, there may need to be more physical ground on the temple mount than there is at present. This may require topographical changes that earthquakes can helpfully provide. So when Yeshua returns upon the Mt of Olives, it will cleave in half. This may shake the rebuilt 3^rd temple so much that it will need to be reconstructed. This final temple will be the one that Ezekiel saw in his vision in chapter 40 onwards.

So I call this temple, the ‘4^thtemple’. The ‘3^rdtemple’ will most likely be some sort of hybrid between what has been built before by Solomon and then Ezra and modified by Herod, and what will be built after the 10 lost tribes of the ‘House of Israel’ return to the land after their 3.5 years in the wilderness and Yeshua returns, that is by Yeshua, the ‘4th Temple’.

The ‘4th temple’ will literally be the house of the Lord. Yeshua will be enthroned in the Holy of Holies, where the ark of the covenant would sit during the Millennium, after His conquest of the earth and the destruction of all those that oppose Him. He would be able to come and go to heaven as often as He desires during his reign, as we would. The ‘Holy of Holies’ of this ‘4th temple’ may in fact be an inter-dimensional bridge or portal between Heaven and Earth or the throne on earth and the one in heaven. The two places could be one somehow. This is speculation of course. But we are told that He ‘hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus’, Ephesians 2:6. So if we take it literally and not just metaphorically, then if we can be in two places at the same time, how much more can our Messiah and Lord, Yeshua?

On your Belly you shall go

We will talk more about the prophecies in Haggai and Zechariah that connect the former temples to the latter ones yet to be built. But first let’s talk about the highly prised area called the temple mount in terms of a battlefield between to spiritual kingdoms.

After a time of physical and spiritual shaking and world war, the ‘third temple’ will be built (see the next section on Haggai for more on that). In the end times there will be both ‘good’ and ‘evil’ things occurring in the tribulation temple, the third temple. The Lord will mightily use the temple to hammer and belt out the truth out to the whole world. The Lord will use His ‘two witnesses’ to prophesy and proclaim the truth for 1260 days (3.5 years), Revelation 11, Zechariah 4.

We are just about to see a third world war go nuclear. It will destroy ‘Babylon America‘. It is after this time of physical shaking and at least a quarter of mankind is wiped out that the temple is built. Yet despite all that has happened, including the bride escaping to the wilderness for 3.5 years and the ministry of the two witnesses, the Jewish people in the land put their trust in a man that turns against them. Just because there is a temple it doesn’t mean that the Jews are safe. It is the Lord that keeps His people safe, not a religious building or even the temple of Almighty God. The Ark doesn’t save anyone, Yeshua does. Putting our trust in buildings and artefacts, even the Holy Ark is just another form of idolatry.

There will be rising religious pride and rebellion culminating in the ‘Abomination of Desolation’ when the Antichrist turns upon the Jewish people. He comes in ‘peace’, but ‘war was in his heart’ all along. The very one that ‘confirms a covenant with many’ for a shavua (week, seven) will ‘break’ it.

Psalms 55:20-21
20 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.
21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

Unlike Yeshua who came in His ‘Father’s name’, and was disbelieved by the leaders, so this man comes in his own name and is warmly received by the modern day descendants of those religious leaders, John 5:43.

Why is the end times temple and the temple mount area so important, why is it so central to the end times conflict in the book of Revelation and elsewhere in prophecy? It all goes back to Eden, it all goes back to two trees and the river of God. The river of God that surrounded Eden parted into four headwaters (literally ‘four heads’), Genesis 2:14.

1. Pison
2. Gihon
3. Hiddekel
4. Euphrates

It is the second river that we will focus on, although it is said to go around the land of Ethiopia it is also the same name as a stream near the temple.

As I said in the Introduction…

“There is a stream of water that passes through the temple mount region called the ‘Gihon’ spring. This is the same name as one of the four rivers surrounding the Garden of Eden. It just so happens that this is the same word used to describe the ‘belly’ that the serpent was to crawl upon in the curse in Genesis 3. It is also related to the birth of a helpless baby. The temple is thus the earthly battle ground between the Serpent that crawls upon his ‘gichon’ (belly) and the ‘Seed of the Woman’ that comes out of the womb, upon his ‘gichon’ (belly). Thus the temple mount is ground zero in this cosmic struggle between the ‘Seed of the Serpent’ and the ‘Seed of the Woman’.”

The spiritual battle that we are in is a ‘seed war’ between two opposing teams or ‘seeds’. ‘Satan’s seed’ are those that listen to him and the ‘seed of the woman’ are the ones that listen to Messiah Yeshua, her promised Son.

On of the scriptural keys as to why the temple mount is at the centre of this battle in the physical realm is related to the name ‘Gihon’, גִּיחוֹן.

Genesis 2:13 And the name of the second river is Gihon <Strongs: H01521, גִּיחוֹן>: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

This is a river, yes. But is also related to the name for ‘belly’ and is related to the noun, ‘womb’ and the verb to ‘labour‘ to ‘bring to birth‘, the birth of two different and opposing seeds.

Let’s look at the word ‘Gihon‘ when used to describe the ‘belly’, גּחון. The first instance of it used in this way is in Genesis 3:14 and refers to the curse upon the Serpent Satan.

Genesis 3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly <Strongs: H01512, גּחון> shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהִים אֶֽל־הַנָּחָשׁ כִּי עָשִׂיתָ זֹּאת אָרוּר אַתָּה מִכָּל־הַבְּהֵמָה וּמִכֹּל חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה עַל־גְּחֹנְךָ תֵלֵךְ וְעָפָר תֹּאכַל כָּל־יְמֵי חַיֶּֽיךָ׃

So Satan is cursed to slither on his ‘belly’ The Strongs definition is listed below.

Strongs: H01512 גּחון
Probably from 1518; the external {abdomen} belly (as the source of the foetus (compare H1521)): – belly.

This is literal in the sense that snakes don’t walk with legs but slither along the grass. But the name is related to the river and the stream besides the temple mount by the same name. And has implications for the temple as we will show shortly.

The name for ‘belly’ also appears in the description of animals that are not to be eaten and are in fact an ‘abomination’!

Leviticus 11:42
Whatsoever goeth upon the belly <Strongs: H01512, gahon, גָּחוֹן > , and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
ל הוֹלֵךְ עַל־גָּחוֹן וְכֹל הוֹלֵךְ עַל־אַרְבַּע עַד כָּל־מַרְבֵּה רַגְלַיִם לְכָל־הַשֶּׁרֶץ הַשֹּׁרֵץ עַל־הָאָרֶץ לֹא תֹאכְלוּם כִּי־שֶׁקֶץ הֵֽם׃

The very natural and physical food laws concerning what is clean or unclean seem to have a higher spiritual meaning. To me it seems quite clear that the unclean creatures are pointing to demonic spiritual unclean creatures. I believe that when the wicked dead are resurrected that they will run on all ‘four legs’ and slither on their ‘belly’, גּחון. I have heard testimonies of someone that had a prophetic dream as such. We are told that the law is spiritual, so I take this very seriously. I don’t need a vision to tell me what seems clear in scripture. But it is a confirmation for me.

As I keep repeating, we are in a war between ‘two seed lines’. Those that slither on their belly are the ‘seed of the serpent’. They will be fully manifested in their demon possessed form at the resurrection on Pentecost.

Now a similar spelt word is related to the ‘seed of the woman’ that oppose the crawling slithering ‘seed of the serpent’. They ‘come forth’, gochi, גֹחִי, from their mothers womb.

Psalms 22:9 But thou art he that took me out <gochi, גֹחִי> of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.

This word translated ‘took out’ literally means to ‘gush forth’.

Birth is like a rushing forth of waters. Hence the idea of the river ‘Gihon’ and the ‘breaking of the waters’ and birth are connected ideas.

Here is the strongs definition.

Strongs: H01518 גּח גּיח
A primitive root; to gush forth (as {water}) generally to issue: – break {forth} labor to bring {forth} come {forth} draw {up} take out.

Two kingdoms break forth at the same time. Two seeds are manifested, they are depicted with a number of epithets or metaphors.

• the ‘wheat’ and the ‘tares’
• the ‘sheep’ and the ‘goats’
• the ‘righteous’ and the ‘wicked’
• the ‘seed of the woman’ and the ‘seed of the serpent’

The word ‘gich’, גּיח, meaning to ‘gush forth’ is literally within the word ‘Gihon’, גִּיחוֹן, which is the river. But also is also within the word translated ‘belly’, גָּחוֹן, gahon. This word ‘gich’, גּיח, meaning to ‘gush forth’ is also translated to ‘labour’ and appears in Micah 4, which concerns the bringing forth of the ‘children of Zion’, Psalms 149:2, Isaiah 8:18.

Micah 4:10 Be in pain, and labour <gochi, גֹחִי > to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.

How interesting that this word ‘gihon’ which is related to the ‘belly’ of the ‘serpent’ is also related to the birth of his opposition, the ‘seed of the woman’, the Messiah and the 144,000 and ultimately all those that keep the testimony of Yeshua and the commandments of God, Revelation 12:17.

Now the latter part of the verse above is worth talking about. The birth occurs in ‘Babylon’. There are a number of ‘Babylon’s’, including ‘mystery Babylon’. America has become a form of end times ‘Babylon’. I want to talk about this here but I will elaborate on this in the section titled ‘The Destruction of Babylon America & the Shaking’ because although it gives context to the ‘birth‘ of the manchild, 144,000 it is also too much to unpack here. We are talking about ‘Gihon’ and it’s relationship to the ‘serpent’ and his ‘seed’, the ‘seed of the woman’ and the ‘temple’ here.

We have looked at the word ‘Gihon’, גִּיחוֹן, and its relationship to ‘labour’, gochi, גֹחִי, and birth and so on. Let’s look at where it is used as a noun and it’s relationship to the ‘temple’. Remember that the ‘temple’ is at the centre of this ‘seed war’, this battle between ‘heaven’ and ‘hell’. Let’s look at the spiritual reasons why ‘good’ and ‘evil’ spring forth from this ‘temple’ in the last days.

The ‘watercourse of Gihon’ was located next to the ‘city of David’ (Jerusalem).

II Chronicles 32:30 This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.

This is not the river ‘Gihon’, but it has it’s name. But then again, perhaps it is actually connected to this Edenic river that is perhaps subterranean now. We know that when the Lord returns upon the mount of Olives it will split, Zechariah 14:4 and ‘living water’ will ‘go out from Jerusalem’ towards the mediteranean and the dead sea, Zechariah 14:8.

More details about wall around ‘city of David’ on the ‘west side’ to the ‘Gihon’ are mentioned below. It;s interesting that there is a ‘fish gate’ mentioned which is another connected to water and by extension to the rivers of Eden.

II Chronicles 33:14 Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.

Now the ‘Gihon’ had an extremely important symbolic role to play in the anointing of Solomon as king.

I Kings 1:33 The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon <גִּיחוֹן>:
…
I Kings 1:45 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard.

The ‘Gihon’, גִּיחוֹן is about the battle between the Serpent that slides on his ‘belly’, גִּיחוֹן and the seed of the woman that issues from her womb. It is about the water besides the temple mount and the serpent that would crawl there to undermine the people of God, using religion to kill the true ‘seed of the woman’. This is primarily Yeshua and then secondarily the manchild 144,000 and the ‘remnant of her seed that keep the commandments of God and the testimony of Yeshua’. If they are not raptured or on the 2^nd Exodus then the dragon will go after them as Revelation 12:17 makes clear. The ‘manchild’ which is the 144,000 is ‘raptured’ (‘caught up‘, harpazo, ἁρπάζω) to heaven and not killed like Yeshua. They come back down to continue the fight in full immortal battle armour and flaming swords as Michael engages Satan and the fallen angels.

One more very interesting instance where the word ‘gihon’ is used is in Daniel 7:2-3. It is an Aramaic word, not the Hebrew word, although it is related to it. And it means to ‘rush forth’ according to strongs definition H1519. It is translated ‘strove’ in the KJV.

Daniel 7:2-3
2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove <m’gichan , מְגִיחָן> upon the great sea.
3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.

To me this is very, very interesting because the ‘four winds‘ are also the ‘four spirits‘ which are the ‘four horsemen‘ of Revelation 6. They are most likely opposing Israel via the ‘four great beast empires‘ of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome that scattered or abused Israel.

How interesting that the name ‘gihon’ is also related to these ‘four winds’ of heaven that ‘strove’, gihan, with Israel. This underlines the fight between the ‘two seedlines’ once again.

Haggai, Shaking & Zerubbabel, the 3rd Temple built after World War 3

We have seen how the stream called the ‘Gihon’, גִּיחוֹן passed near the temple mount. We have seen how this word represents the struggle between the Serpent and the ‘seed of the woman’. The temple mount is at the centre of the struggle. This time of struggle will be a time of shaking. The prophet Haggai speaks to this end end time shaking. Interestingly the name ‘Gihon’, in Hebrew, גִּיחוֹן, and the word translated to ‘issue forth’ (in birth), ‘labour’, gochi, גֹחִי, contains the name of the prophet Haggai, חַגַּי. This prophet ministered during the return of the remnant of the ‘House of Judah’ from 70 years of captivity in Babylon in the time of Ezra. As I said in the Introduction;

“In the book of Haggai we read about the prophets mission to encourage the people to build the ‘second temple’ of ‘Ezra’s day’. But within this prophecy there are prophecies concerning the ‘shaking of the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land’ in the ‘end times’. Also ‘Zerubbabel’, the leader of the returning Jews back then is promised to be resurrected in these end times. I will discuss this in more detail soon, but it is important to know what is written in Haggai is related to the ‘third & fourth temples’ during and after the tribulation.”

“I will show how the temple is built during the ‘shakings’ of the ‘birthpangs’ after a world war. I believe that this is just about to erupt now as soon as the false ‘peace and security‘ deal called the ‘Abraham Accords‘ are signed and a ‘Palestinian state‘ is created, as I described in the previous article ‘Timeline to Tribulation & Kingdom: Part 2 – The Abraham Accords‘.”

What happened with the building of the 2^nd Temple after the Jews return from 70 years in Babylon in Haggai’s time is linked to what building of the 3^rd temple after the shaking of heaven and earth at the 2^nd Exodus which is an Exodus from a destroyed ‘Babylon America‘. It’s as if there was no gap between what happened then and what is about to happen. The Lord visited the greatly modified, rebuilt ‘second temple‘ at His first coming and will visit the ‘third temple‘ at His Return.

In chapter one the prophet Haggai is given a message on the first day of the sixth Hebrew month to give to leader of the returning Jews, ‘Zerubbabel’ and to ‘Joshua’ the high priest. This is a message of encouragement to build the ‘House of the Lord’. They are in a similar situation as the Jews in the modern state of Israel. They have returned to the Holy Land, they have built their own houses, but there is no ‘House of God’, that is, there is no ‘Temple’.

‘Zerubbabel’ is the son of ‘Shealtiel‘, a descendant of King David, and so he is in the kingly line. His ancestry is incorrectly given in Massoretic text but the truth is preserved in the Greek translation, the ‘Septuagint‘ or ‘LXX‘ as it is more simply called. In I Chronicles 3:19 it says Zerubbabel is the son of ‘Pedaiah’ but it should say ‘Shealtiel’. In any case, Zerubbabel is a descendant of David and a grandson of ‘Coniah’ who is also called ‘Jeconiah’. There is an important prophecy about ‘Zerubbabel’ concerning a ‘signet’ that references ‘Coniah’ that has implications for the end times via the resurrection of ‘Zerubbabel’ as I will explain shortly.

Anyway after the first chapter of encouragement to built the ‘house of the Lord‘, the ‘2^nd Temple‘, the prophet goes into the distant future and says the following…

Haggai 2:6-7
6 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts.

Now this ‘2nd Temple’ was rebuilt by Herod and was visited by Yeshua. So the ‘glory’ of the Lord did visit it in the person of God’s son. So this prophecy was fulfilled in part. But what about the ‘shaking‘. Well the Lord did shake things up ‘spiritually‘ when He came the first time didn’t He? And there was an earthquake at His death wasn’t there? But the full shaking of ‘the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land‘ didn’t exactly happen. But we know that this will happen in the end times that Yeshua spoke of in the Olivet discours just before His return. He said that there would be ‘wars and rumours of wars‘, and ‘earthquakes in divers places‘, Matthew 24:6-7. We will talk more about this future period of ‘shaking‘ shortly.

But back to the folks that returned from 70 years in Babylon with ‘Zerubbabel‘. After they had built this ‘2nd Temple‘ the people that remembered the original ‘1st temple’ of Solomon were discouraged because the new one was in their ‘eyes in comparison of it as nothing’, Haggai 2:3.

But Haggai also goes on to say the following…

Haggai 2:9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.

Well of course when Herod rebuilt and modified it is was more glorious, and also much bigger with another floor and added height and gold and marble added. But I am not sure about the ‘peace’. Yeshua has given us ‘peace’ by the blood of His cross, Colossians 1:20. But the history of the 2^nd temple was not that peaceful. First it was desecrated by the Greeks who sacrificed pig, which was a ‘abomination of desolation’. The Maccabees fought off the Greeks heroically but let the Romans in instead. Then the Romans took over all of Judea etc. Jerusalem became the site of the rejection of the Messiah and his cruel crucifixion. The temple and the religious system of the day was not at peace with their God or Messiah. It was a place of contention. The ‘Day of Atonement‘ sacrifices were rejected by the Lord and this was shown by the cessation of the miracles associated with it. Yes Herod beautified the temple physically and made it glorious, but by the time the temple renovation was completed the Romans burnt it to the ground! Not that much ‘peace’.

But when you link more of what Haggai prophesies the picture is far bigger and spread out over thousands of years. You see there are two comings of Yeshua and there is a greater story unfolding. What is happening in Zerubbabel’s time is connected to the ‘end times’ shaking of the ‘heavens and the earth’. The following verse clearly links the shaking to the events of Revelation and the ‘Olivet Discourse‘ in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21.

Haggai 2:21-22
21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;
22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.

This period of ‘shaking‘ corresponds to the ‘earthquakes in divers places’ that precede the 2^nd Coming of Yeshua, Matthew 24:7, Mark 13:8, Luke 21:11. It dovetails with the ‘four horsemen’ of the Apocalypse, where war breaks out worldwide and ‘peace’ is taken from the earth, Revelation 6, Zechariah 6.

We must understand that here in verse 21 the Lord, יהוה is the one in charge of the ‘shaking‘ because he says ‘I will shake the heavens and the earth‘. Yeshua is יהוה, He is the ‘Lord‘. He is the Lord, יהוה, over time and space, ‘He was‘, היה, ‘He is‘, הוה, ‘He will be‘, יהיה. All these words for past, present and future are wrapped up in His Holy, Holy, Holy, Name, יהוה. Yeshua is God and He is Man. He is the ‘God-Man‘ that is the only One worthy to ‘open the book, and loose the seven seals‘, Revelation 5:5.

So this shaking in Haggai 2:21 is recorded in Revelation 6. It entails taking peace from the earth through war, famine, economic collapse, pestilence, death and hell. It is accomplished through the ‘four horsemen’ including the white horseman who carries a ‘bow‘ (Greek Toxon) and wears a ‘crown‘ (Greek, stephanos, Latin, Corona). I believe these horses and their riders have already been loosed, but they are merely walking to and fro throughout the earth as Zechariah tells us in chapter one, which follows after the two chapters of Haggai. It is only in chapter 6 of Zechariah that they have been on the rampage and given rest to the Lord’s spirit. You see the horsemen work for Yeshua! The mayhem they create is God’s judgement. I believe that this process began during the COVID-19 Plandemic. And we have been spared much mayhem until now because we are in the first 7 years of a 14 year end time period of Judgement. The clues to the ‘end times‘ in the book of Revelation are in the ‘beginning‘, in Genesis, as Isaiah 46:10 clearly states. I wrote about this in a previous article ‘Timeline to Tribulation & Kingdom: Part 1 – The Quickening‘, see the section titled ‘14 Years: 7 Good & 7 Evil‘ for details.

The ‘shaking‘ and the destruction spoken of is NWO tyranny & persecution (white horse), ‘global war‘ (red horse), economic collapse & famine (black horse), pestilence & death & hell (pale horse), and all of it accompanied by the birth pangs of the earthquakes. The book of Revelation tells us all about the ‘wars and rumours of wars‘ and ties many old testament prophecies about them together. It is at that time that what Haggai is talking about finds it ultimate fulfilment, ‘I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms’, and ‘I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen’. Yeshua is doing it! The wicked are destroying one another. And two kingdoms are rising, the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of the Beast.

But here is the clincher, if there was any doubt that what is spoken of here in Haggai is for the end times 3^rd and 4^th temples, Zerubbabel is going to be there then.

Haggai 2:23 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.

If people think that ‘In that day’ refers only to the past, then they are not well versed in prophecy, the global war and physical shaking of the heavens and the earth occurs in the end times. For ‘Zerubbabel’ to be a ‘signet‘ in that day he must be alive. This infers a ‘resurrection‘, which is exactly what happens.

We know from Daniel 12 that there is a resurrection of the righteous and the wicked at that time, the ‘time of trouble’ for thy people. There is deliverance for those ‘found written in the book’. This is the remnant that survives the judgement when the Arch Angel ‘Michael’ and his angels fights the dragon and his Angels, Revelation 12.

Daniel 12:1-4
1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

This resurrection raises up ‘Zerubbabel’ and many others. And he will be a ‘signet’, which literally means a ring used to ‘seal’ documents. When does this happen? After the 7 seals are loosed by Yeshua of course, and after the 7 trumpet judgements. This is a time of ‘shaking‘ of ‘heaven and earth‘. Satan’s host are shaken from the heavens like a fig tree that loses its figs when shaken violently, Revelation 6:13. Although this is in the 6^th Seal, it is experienced on earth after the final 7^th trumpet sounds.

Now the term signet will be a great comfort to Zerubbabel because it was used for his rebellious granddaddy ‘Coniah’ when the ‘House of Judah’ (Jews) were taken captive in Babylon 70 years earlier.

Jeremiah 22:24-26
24 As I live, saith the LORD, though ‘Coniah’ the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the ‘signet’ upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence;
25 And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
26 And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.

What happened to Zerubbabel’s granddad ‘Coniah’ won’t happen to him. Zerubbabel came out of Babylon, but his grandfather went into it. Zerubbabel means ‘seed of Babel‘, he was born there, like we are. But now metaphor of the ‘signet’ is used in a good sense and ‘Zerubbabel’ will fulfil prophecy by being that ‘signet’, that ‘seal‘ to prophecy by being resurrected and establishing the temple of the Lord, the ‘3rd temple’ and/or ‘4th temple’ in the last days.

So we can see that the Lord is the one that establishes the temples. In both the 1^st and 2^nd coming, Yeshua shall ‘suddenly come to His temple’, irrespective of the religious bigotry and hatred towards Him.

Malachi 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.

This verse in Malachi has a dual fulfilment for both comings. In both his first and second advent it is ‘His temple’, it is ‘His Fathers house’! He will overturn the money changers and the forces of the Antichrist. It shall be a place of worship for Israel and the remnant of the nations.

Yes there is religious hypocrisy at present within Judaism and apostate Churchianity/Messianity, both now and in the near future during the tribulation. Yes the ‘builders’ have rejected and ‘refused’ the ‘corner stone’. Yes the Antichrist will defile the temple. But Yeshua shall still be the ‘head of the corner’, Psalms 118:22. He will deal with the Antichrist, that ‘little horn’ that magnifies himself above all that is worshipped, Daniel 7:8, 8:9, II Thessalonians 2:4.

In Zechariah 6 we read that the ‘man whose name is the BRANCH‘ is the one that ‘shall build the temple of the Lord‘.

Zechariah 6:12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:

This has an end time application to Yeshua who applied it to himself when he said if they ‘destroy this temple’ he would ‘raise it up’ in ‘three days, Matthew 26:6, Mark 14:58, John 2:19. Of course Yeshua was referring to the ‘temple of his body‘ at His resurrection after being dead ‘three days‘. But in the physical, in terms of temples made with hands, who is actually behind building the ‘third temple‘.

We know that the masonic forces of the Antichrist want to build it so they can put their man in it, the Antichrist. This false Messiah will lead many of the Jewish people and the world up the garden path and to the tree of knowledge to complete what was begun in the Garden of Eden. It will end in death and destruction and eternal damnation.

On the other hand the ‘Branch‘ will build the temple, which is a reference to Yeshua, who is also the ‘stone that the builders refused‘. We also know that the Lord wanted Zerubbabel to build the 2nd temple and used Haggai to encourage him and that there is a connection to the ‘shaking’ and the ‘horse’ and the ‘rider’ in the end times. And by extension to the building of His ‘house‘, the ‘temple‘.

Of course this could refer only to the ‘forth temple‘ while the ‘third temple‘ is not legitimate. Could it be that it is only the enemy that is behind it’s construction and use. Or is it the Lord? Or is it both? What we do know is that both will use it, both the wicked one and the two witnesses will be there. It will be a focal point of the entire earth. And people will have a choice as to whose words do they believe or follow, Messiah Yeshua or the Antichrist?

I think that the answer to the question of who is behind the ‘third temple‘, God or Satan, Yeshua or the Antichrist, is more complicated than one or the other. I think it is both. This goes back to the tree of the knowledge of ‘good‘ and ‘evil‘. We are to choose ‘good’. There is a Satanic element of ‘evil‘ behind the building of the temple, and certainly it’s desecration. But there is a ‘good‘ element to it because the Lord will allow it to be built and use it as a platform for his two witnesses to speak for 3.5 years. At the very least. The temple ‘sacrifices‘ and ‘offerings‘ and ‘worship‘ will be required in the millenial reign after Yeshua’s return as I spoke of earlier. It is not so much whether the temple is good or evil, but rather, is the intent of the ‘heart‘ ‘good‘ or ‘evil‘? I think what is done in the temple magnifies what is in the worshipper. Are we of Cain in spirit or are we of Abel? Are we ‘good‘ or are we ‘evil‘. The temple in this sense is like the forbidden tree of knowledge.

In Yeshua’s day we had Jewish religious leaders that put the temple ahead of actually listening to the promised Messiah. They would rather kill their Messiah than lose the temple.

They actually disbelieved Moses and killed the promised Saviour. They put their trust in their schemes and in their relationship with the Romans. I believe that for many, they will put their trust in the ‘temple‘ rather than God. It may begin inocently by faith but it will end in the deadness of the letter and trusting in the eyes. Eve saw that the fruit was ‘good‘ to make one ‘wise‘. The ‘temple‘ that is in front of our ‘eyes‘ magnifies what is in the ‘eyes of our heart‘. If what can begin in the spirit can end in the flesh, how much more so with a building, even one dedicated to God and His worship? They will put their trust in the Antichrist rather than the Messiah, Yeshua. It is not the ‘temple’s fault‘, the ‘temple didn’t do it‘, it just brought it to the surface. The ‘temple is not evil‘, it is what is in our hearts.

The Jewish religous leaders that don’t believe that Yeshua is the Messiah believe that if they build the temple the Messiah will come. I agree with them. But they will be given two Messiah’s, a true one who came in His Fathers name and another that comes in his own name. Both claim to be God. Who do you choose? This is the garden of eden all over again? Does Eve have the wisdom to truly choose wisely?

Again I don’t believe it is the temple’s fault. It is within our hearts. Are we truly ‘Abraham’s seed‘. A true Jew is one that is one inwardly. To be physically the seed of Abraham is not enough.

Romans 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Are we ‘Jews‘ ‘inwardly‘, or are we the ‘seed of the serpent‘ in our hearts, in our spirits? Do we love God? Do we love our neighbour?

Christianity has historically over simplified and therefore misrepresented the Torah by saying there will be no need of a temple in the future because of Yeshua. Ultimately they are right when it comes to heaven and our justification. But there will be a future temple. So it is not scriptural to say there will be no temple in the future. Ultimately there will be no need of one on the new earth, but before during the millenium there will be temple sacrifice. I read my bible. Again, the New Covenant does not exclude temple sacrifice or worship then, but it does away with certain aspects of it concerning our justification and Atonement. There is a change in the law in terms of what was temporary. But certain aspects of temple worship will remain when Israel is regathered and will operate under Yeshua too until the New Heavens and Earth.

I believe that the debate on whether the ‘temple‘ is ‘good‘ or ‘evil‘ misses the point, it is ‘wrong headed‘. The ‘temple‘, like the word of God is simply a ‘mirror‘ showing us what is in our hearts. Will our ‘sacrifices‘ be accepted or rejected? God sees our hearts? Will we be proud, unrepentant and hate and murder our brother or will we humble ourselves? The tree of knowledge was in the garden. It can’t kill us unless we disobey God. I could put it another way, let’s assume the temple is ‘good‘ for example. If good people listen to the Lord and believe His word they will follow Yeshua and keep His commandments and love their neighbour as themselves. If they bring a burnt offering it will be accepted if their heart is right. But if ‘evil‘ people misuse the ‘temple‘, then the outcome will be religious ‘evil‘ and the Lord will not accept their sacrifice. So if for example, the ‘temple‘ is not ‘evil‘ but ‘good‘ could it still be used for ‘evil‘ by ‘evil people‘? Will the ‘religion of Cain‘ use the ‘Temple of Abel‘ to kill humanity through the letter of the law? Will ‘evil‘ desecrate the temple of God through ‘hate‘ and ‘lawlessness‘ to kill the righteous?

I believe all of the above will happen there. Remember what the Lord thinks of the proud religious spirit in Isaiah 66:1-4. He doesn’t accept their sacrifice. It is an ‘abomination‘ to Him. Will sacrifices be accepted from those that hate Yeshua who is actually the Lord יהוה, that they are sacrificing too? Again, it will be like ‘swine’s blood‘ to Him.

Again the ‘temple‘ is not the issue so much as what is in the ‘heart‘ of those that ‘sacrifice‘ there. We are at the garden of Eden all over again. And we have the final choice to make as the descendants of Adam and Eve or Cain and Abel. Who is our God, who is the Messiah, and what is His name?

And another related question is how is ‘good‘ and ‘evil‘ actually defined? We know that the Torah and the Prophets and the New Testament scriptures tell us. But there is religious hypocracy in Judaism and Christianity. Satan has his ministers in the church pulpits too.

There can be ‘good‘ traditions and laws and ‘evil‘ traditions and laws. Yeshua said that the commandments of God will nullified by the traditions of man. Do we truly understand the torah or do we only understand it through the fallen eyes of unbelieving man and his traditions? I am not attacking all traditions, I am asking is your eye ‘good‘ or is it ‘evil‘?

I am asking, who is actually making the ‘sacrifice‘, not is the altar or ‘temple‘ ‘evil‘, but is the worshipper ‘good‘ of ‘evil‘?

We should not blame buildings for our actions or use what we do there as justification if it is merely an obfuscation of ‘evil intent’, though outwardly pious, we can’t ‘pass the buck‘ to a building! God sees the heart!

Once we know our God and obey Him in faith and love then our sacrifice is accepted. But if we don’t truly know the Lord and express it through religious hatred of our neighbour, even of those that follow Yeshua, then our sacrifice is not accepted.

The issue is not the ‘temple‘ but what is in our heart and who is the Messiah!

Many Jews in Yeshua’s day, and even the disciples themselves were impressed with the ‘temple‘. It was a marvel. But Yeshua said that it would be destroyed and not ‘one stone left upon another‘ but they would all be ‘thrown down‘. The temple didn’t save the people. Righteousness saves us, not buildings, even God’s house doesn’t save us if we are hypocrites and disobey his commandments with an ‘evil‘ unbeleiving heart.

Mark 13:1-2
1 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
2 And Jesus answering said unto him, “Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”

The rebuilding of the temple in the end times does not make Jewry safe if there is religious hypocrisy and rebellion. Temple worship will be acceptable when the hearts of Israel and the nations are right. Religous hypocracy with temple worship will actually accelerate God’s judgement. Righteousness will illicit His blessing at the same time. If there is hypocracy then will may incur what the torah calls ‘leprosy’ in English. What is in the heart will be maginified in the ‘temple of our bodies‘, when the ‘physical stone temple‘ is present!

This will be a process of revelation to the Jewish people and the nations, through trial and heartache until the rejected one, the ‘Prince of Peace‘ returns. Only Yeshua can bring peace, not temples made of stone. Even if the Lord is behind the building of ‘temples made of stone‘, it doesn’t take long for Israel to stray from Him. Only the ‘New Covenant‘ coming in it’s fullness to the houses of Israel and Judah can insure Peace. Temples are only a place of worship when the people are righteous. If they are not, then even their prayers are an abomination and the sacrifices are not accepted.

I believe that within the desire of Jewry to build the temple is both a Holy desire and un unholy one. There is something ‘good‘ and something ‘evil‘. Again this is the test in the garden of Eden. In Adam, we have all eaten the forbidden fruit, but will we choose ‘good‘ or ‘evil‘? On the one hand is the desire to build a house for the Lord and listen and obey His word. On the other hand is the desire to be like a god, knowing ‘good‘ and ‘evil‘ to control mankind and manipulate creation and bend it to our own will through the misuse of the temple and the Law. Time will prove hearts and the temple will accelerate this process.

The ‘third temple‘ will be built after World War 3, after the ‘shaking‘ of the ‘four horsemen‘ of Revelation 6 is completed. This will be during the last year of the first seven years in my opinion. Again I suspect that this begins this September/October 2025. I won’t have long to wait to see if this is correct or not. If I am wrong, I may not be wrong by much. If I am right then the 144,000 are about to be commissioned to get Zion moving from the shattered remains of ‘Babylon America‘ and all the other little Babylons including Australia and New Zealand. As I understand things at present, the ‘third Temple‘ will be rebuilt in a time of rebuilding Jerusalem after the ‘four horsemen‘ bring in the havoc of World War 3 and this is the same time that the Antichrist rises to power and Yeshua following ‘Zion‘ heads to the Wilderness for 3.5 years.

It seems that in order for the ‘third temple’ to be built at all, there will have to be a measure of repentance within Jewry in the land of Israel. Then there will be further Apostasy followed by the ‘Abomination of Desolation‘ which will lead to the final separation of the righteous and the wicked in Judah and the land of Israel. The Lord will use the ‘third temple‘ as a platform for his ‘two witnesses‘ to preach for 3.5 years. Then they will die a the hands of the beast and be resurrected before the eyes of the whole world after 3.5 days. That is how I have pieced prophecy together. We will see if this pans out. In any case we all need to be reading our bibles, walking humbly, dying to sin and walking in the Spirit and ‘watching‘ and praying ‘always‘ that we will be ‘counted worthy‘ to ‘escape all these things‘ and ‘stand‘ before the ‘Son of Man‘, Luke 21:36. If we don’t do what He says how can we expect to ‘escape all these things‘? Our ‘faith‘ needs to be coupled with ‘obedience‘.

Now this ‘shaking of heaven and earth’ is also spoken of in Isaiah 13 which talks about the ‘fall of Babylon’, we will cover that in the next section. The ‘fall of Babylon’ is tied to the Lord’s coming and the building of the ‘temple‘.

The Destruction of Babylon America & the Shaking

From scripture I see two end time Babylons. One is ‘Babylon America‘ and the second one is the seat of the beast system in the original rebuilt Babylon in the land of Shinar, which is Iraq. Zechariah 5 links a rebuilt Babylon in Iraq with the destruction of ‘Babylon America’ via the scroll with the curse for all those that ‘steal‘ and ‘swear falsely by the Lord‘. This can only refer to God’s people in Babylon. Both Babylon’s are ‘North Countries’ spoken of by the prophet Jeremiah. The Lord has encoded last days America, not as the ‘land of the free‘, but as a ‘proud’ and sinful ‘whore‘, even ‘Babylon‘. America, the once blessed land of both ‘pilgrims’ (and sadly ‘freemasons’) has become cursed due to her ‘witchcraft’, ‘sorcery’ and ‘fornication’ (both physical and spiritual). The Lord in mercy will call his remnant out from her. It is not about making your last stand in this modern day Babylon, it is about escaping it as judgement falls.

Jeremiah 50 and 51 along with many other prophecies including Isaiah 13 can both fit modern day America and the final form of a rebuilt Babylon in Shinar, Iraq. People may say it takes time to build a city. Well that is correct, but this city is fly’s there, or at least the woman called wickedness does according to Zechariah 5. It could be that it is a flying city. We are going to see a lot of things coming down from the skies in the near future. This could include the city ships of science fiction.

All of these Babylons are destroyed in a time of ‘shaking’. I would like to quote all of Isaiah 13 because there is so much information, but here are a few verses of note.

Isaiah 13:1, 13
1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
…
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

It is the Lord who summons the armies of the world and even the ends of the heavens to execute his fierce anger against Babylon. I know there is a remnant of true blue, humble folks that love the Lord there, and the Lord will rescue many of them by rapture or 2^nd Exodus. But He will punish her for her crimes against Him. Ancient Babylon was taken over overnight. The end of ‘Babylon America‘ will also come suddenly after she has been warned repeatedly but turned a deaf ear. Very few will survive her fall.

The destruction of ‘Babylon America’ will also include the destruction of much of humanity worldwide. The world and America have become top heavy with sinners and sin. At this time, both the nations and ‘Babylon America’ have become ‘proud’. They will not listen, they refuse to repent. It shall burn.

Isaiah 13:8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.

‘Babylon America‘ will be in ‘pain’ as a ‘woman that travaileth’. This ties in with the birth of the 144,000 because Zion goes to Babylon to bring forth, Hosea 13:13. There are two that are travailing at once, Babylon the mother of harlots and Zion. Both travailing to bring forth seed. But the travail that comes upon Babylon brings forth death and destruction and ‘monsters’, II Esdras 5:8. Babylon is the ‘mother of harlots and abominations of the earth’, Revelation 17:5. Monsters are abominations and are brought forth because Satan’s angels fall and impregnate women as soon as they arrive. Also Nephilim rise from the deep. ‘Evil’ will be visited on those that do ‘evil’. Perhaps this is what the seven thunders were talking about in Revelation. This judgement is fierce and totally horrific, it encompasses Babylon and the entire world. It is a time of ‘wrath’ of the Lord. Wrath begins with the 6^th seal, but really begins in earnest after the 7^th seal when the 144,000 are released on their mission.

Isaiah 13:9-12
9 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the ‘world’ for their ‘evil’, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.

America is a nation of mingled people and so is Australia (it too will suffer the same fate, it’s just another daughter of Babylon). Those that survive will all flee Babylon eventually. But there wont be many that survive in comparison to total population, the survivors are ‘more precious than fine gold’. They may be small in number but they will be high quality survivors!

America and the world will literally go dark as judgement hits. And this is the context of the shaking we are talking about as the next verse states very clearly.

13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

We better get close to the Lord, we will need more than bullets and tins of beans to get through this if we are left on the earth. We will need the favour of God and the heavenly host led by Michael and his angels at the very least!

Now that’s enough bad news, now let’s look at some good news, there is a good birth coming!

At the time of this shaking when ‘Babylon America’ is suddenly attacked and ultimately destroyed and taken down as a world power, the 2^nd Exodus will begin. But it wont begin leaderless. We are in a leaderless generation, not only within politics but also in the ‘church’. The church hates biblical prophecy and so it is going into the tribulation (if they aren’t raptured), blind, deaf and dumb. Many will be deceived in these end times by false apostles, false teachers and so on. But the Lord will raise up his 144,000 to expedite the 2^nd Exodus from ‘Babylon America‘ and elsewhere. I have talked about the spiritual birth and breaking out of Zion’s ‘children‘ in a previous article in this series. The ‘birth‘ (spiritual ‘breaking out‘) occurs in ‘Babylon’. There are a number of ‘Babylon’s’, including ‘mystery Babylon’. As I have said ‘America’ has become a form of end times ‘Babylon’.

Micah 4:10 Be in pain, and labour <gochi, גֹחִי> to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.

The believing remnant of Israel & Judah, that make up ‘Zion‘, or the true ‘Church‘, the ‘congregation of Israel‘ shall ‘bring forth’ or ‘give birth’ to the 144,000 there before it is completely destroyed, even at the time of it’s destruction. The 144,000 are believers in Yeshua they are part of the church in that sense, or come from it, but they are a separate entity from it also. And then later all that believe in Yeshua must leave ‘Babylon‘ as the 144,000 lead the way. And they should not hang around ‘Babylon America’ after it is attacked! As soon as the 144,000 are recognised and ‘manifested‘, it is time to leave. They should not hang around the place of the ‘breaking forth of children’.

Hosea 13:12-14
12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.
13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.
14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.

I just want to go off topic slightly and expand a little on this ‘breaking forth of children’. These are the Holy Spirit gifted and ‘Superpowered’ warriors, the 144,000. It links to scriptures concerning their birth like Isaiah 66:7-8, Revelation 12 and Genesis 3:15-16. There are two lots of 144,000 as I have understood it, the first group are adults and the second group are literally children with ‘superpowers’. The first group commence the 2^nd Exodus and fight the bad guys and rescue the children.

Sadly, despite God’s word and the leadership of the 144,000, many in ‘Ephraim’ that survive the initial attack on ‘Babylon America‘ and see the rise of the 144,000 will still not want to leave America for the unknown. This is a problem that I have with believers even now. Christians in general and Americans in particular don’t want to know what is coming. They refuse to listen to the prophetic word of God. They are either unbelieving, scared or rebellious or all of the above. This of course is true for folks wherever the lost tribes are, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Britain. This is the Jezebel spirit that kills the prophets. Americans and others don’t want to think about prophecy or leaving the only land they know. They don’t want to leave. They love America, even if it has become ‘Babylon‘, it’s still home in their hearts. I understand that, but there is a terrible price to pay for this. Sadly many will die because they don’t want to leave. They are unwise as the scripture above makes clear, ‘Ephraim is an unwise son’. The bible has much more to say. See below for more details. The horror movies are just telling us what the bible (that sits on the shelf covered in dust) has always said. This is the ‘wrath of the Lord’ against his own people Israel, for not listening.

Isaiah 9:19-21
19 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.

20 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:

21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

The curses of the bible apply to Israel if they don’t listen. It is better take heed to scripture than to be patriotic and wave the flag and hang around a once ‘blessed’ nation that you love but now is actually ‘cursed’. The resurrection that Daniel 12:1 talks about will happen then and the Lord ‘will ransom them from the power of the grave’. But this is when the ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ occurs, it is actually real! It is when the wicked dead will rise at this time, because the resurrection in Daniel 12 is of both the ‘wicked’ and the ‘righteous’. The ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ is the resurrected demon possessed ‘evil dead’. This is biblical and prophesied. The result of staying in Babylon too long will be to be bitten by the ‘evil dead’ and to be turned into a demon possessed ‘Zombie’. The Lord will protect His own, but they must listen to Him and obey! This is not movies and popcorn, this is prophetic truth. They shall ‘eat every man the flesh of his own arm’. The tribes shall consume each other. ‘Ephraim’ and ‘Manasseh’ and ‘Judah’ shall eat one another, literally. This is during a time of famine, but this is a supernatural curse going into all the earth as per Zechariah 5 and Isaiah 24. This ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ is the ‘water’ that is ‘cast out’ of the ‘mouth’ of the ‘serpent’.

Revelation 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

The enemy is coming after Zion like a ‘flood’, this is reiterated in Isaiah 59:19. The Lord will raise up a standard against it but we must be listening to the Lord! The ‘woman’ which is believing Zion (Judah & Israel) must run for her life. Get out of Babylon! Like Yeshua the 144,000 will be raised to preach the gospel and get Zion moving. Initially they will have some spiritual gifts, their superpowers will come in stages until they are fully transformed with celestial bodies of light and ‘raptured‘. They are the manchild. The 144,000 are initially suffering ‘bruised reeds’ (Isaiah 42) like Yeshua but will transition to become the warrior ‘polished shafts’ (Isaiah 49) to fight supernaturally as the 2^nd Exodus proceeds. The 2^nd Exodus begins in the 2^nd Hebrew month, most likely in (2026 in my present opinion), they resurrection/Zombie Apocalypse happens at Pentecost (again 2026 in my opinion). They will ‘arrows’ in the hands of the Lord.

The 144,000 are to lead the 2^nd Exodus of the ‘remnant‘ of ‘Israel & Judah‘ from ‘Babylon America‘ with supernatural power. Remember that the ‘remnant’, are the ‘survivors’, because America has been attacked with overwhelming destructive power and is being invaded and the ‘Zombie Apocalypse‘ is coming with the resurrection of the wicked dead, Daniel 12:1. Israel and Judah leave ‘Babylon America‘, perhaps they exit through a bombed out and shattered ‘New York’ which as a City is the epitome of a modern day ‘Babylon‘ and filled with godless evil. Many Jews live there (but it is becoming extremely antisemitic and they should leave). Jeremiah 50:4 describes the children of Israel and Judah leaving this modern day Babylon ‘weeping’ and greatly humbled and broken. I see a ‘train wreck’ coming to America and nobody wants to hear this message. And in terms of population, the remnant will be very small, very few will survive, Isaiah 1:9. I believe destruction begins during the feast of Tabernacles this year, 2025. We will see more protests against America on the streets made by foreigners that have crept into the nation like ‘caterpillars’ (KJV ‘caterpillers’), Jeremiah 51:14. This is my speculative opinion based on when I think the seals began to open in September 2019 and when the 7^th Seal is released in this month. But time will tell if this scenario is correct. But my gut tells me that destruction is about to fall now. It’s in the air. If I am wrong so be it, but it is very very near now I believe. It will be ‘sudden destruction’. Nuclear based fire causing complete crippling devastation and humbling. But despite this few will repent, but most will turn upon one another in a blood bath. Demons will unleashed in people’s hearts. Peace will be taken from the earth. It will be madness.

By the way, after ‘Babylon America‘ is destroyed by nuclear fire, another last days Babylon will be set up on the Euphrates, in the ‘land of Shinar’, which is the place of the original Babylon. Wickedness will go there as per the prophecy in Zechariah 5 is fulfilled, when the curse goes into all the earth for everyone that ‘steals’ and ‘swears falsely by the name of the Lord’. This will be the seat of the beast system after the ‘Abomination of Desolation’ (after the 2 witnesses are killed by the beast). And it is the original Babylon in Iraq today.

So that is a little bit of elaboration on the context of the ‘labouring’ (gochi, גֹחִי) to bring forth children in Babylon. I diverted a little because this is in our immediate future before the ‘third temple’ is built. I suspect (and I could be wrong) that the birth pangs are about to come upon Zion very strongly from September/October 2025 as we come into Tabernacles (Sukkot).

The 3^rd Temple & the 144,000

As I said in the Introduction;

“Finally we will look at how the earthly ‘mount Zion‘, the ‘temple mount‘ will be a place where the Lord will take a stand with His 144,000 ‘children‘ and His ‘Two Witnesses’.”

I have spoken a lot about the 144,000 for over 3.5 years. I will keep this section small. Please see the last huge article titled ‘Superpowers, Superheroes & Super Babies Breaking out of Babylon’ for more in depth insight into what they will do. Here I will just outline some scriptures that refer to the manifestation of the children of Zion and the literal mt Zion in Heaven and on Earth.

The prophet Isaiah gives us so much spiritual information for the end times, but most people read it with their eyes closed, they don’t actually know what they are reading, because it requires the enlightening of the Holy Spirit and the willingness to study and cross reference scriptures. It is in the comparing of scriptures that we begin to put it together, line by line, here a little and there a little. Revelation comes by God but He also requires us to do our part, we have to be good boys and girls and do our chores and our homework. Let’s look at what the prophet said that relates to the end times and the book of Revelation.

Isaiah 8:18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.

Straight away we should make the connection between this verse and Revelation 14.

Revelation 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.

Both verses above refer to ‘mount Zion‘. The 144,000 are the ‘children‘ that are being talked about here in Isaiah. The ‘I’ in Isaiah 8:18 is the ‘Lamb’ in Revelation 14:1, it is ‘Yeshua’, who is the’ Lord‘ יהוה in the midst of the ‘children’ that are give to Him. They are the Father’s ‘children‘. Yeshua is the firstborn Son, but these are his ‘Brethren’.

Psalms 22:22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

By extension we are all his ‘brethren’, Hebrews 2:12, Matthew 12:50, Mark 3:35. But it has a specific sense to it too as I described above.

All of the 144,000, are related to ‘iron‘. They are the ‘Axe head‘ that ‘fell‘ in 2 Kings 6. Although they are born in these last days, their beginning, the beginning of their spirits was from ancient times, even the foundations of the earth. They are the ‘Axe head’ (literally ‘Iron’) that sunk and then floated and ‘swam’ in 2 Kings 6:6. The gospel and the work of the Son of God on the ‘tree’ brings them to life again spiritually, as it does to all of us. ‘The Iron’ in Hebrew is ‘the barzel’, הַבַּרְזֶֽל. This also means ‘image of the Son’. They are related to Yeshua, the firstborn, and they are firstborn with Him. I believe that they are made up of male and female. They are ‘masculine in gender spiritually’ and they ‘pre-exisited’ in the ancient past but ‘fell’, 2 Kings 6:5. I talked about our spirits pre-existing in the past in the article ‘The Fall of Satan & Heavenly Zion before Adam’.

Both of the verses in Isaiah 8:18 and Revelation 14:1 refer to ‘mount Zion’. They are for ‘signs and wonders’. ‘Signs and wonders’ are used when the Lord is establishing something new or re-establishing things. The Lord used Moses to perform ‘signs and wonders’ to get the attention of the Israelites and Egyptians and establish who is boss and expedite the Exodus, Deuteronomy 4:34. So shall it be in the end times, but it will require, 144,000 Moses’s! Remember the Dragon and his angels are just about to be cast out of heaven and onto the earth, (I believe this is over a 40 day period from the 2^nd month when the flood came. It’s symbolic). ‘Signs and wonders’ were performed by the Apostles to verify the gospel of the ‘New Covenant’ in Yeshua’s blood with power! We must also be aware that the ‘wicked’ one will come with the ‘power’ of ‘Satan’ with ‘signs’ and ‘lying wonders’, Deuteronomy 4:33-34. The will be false ‘Christs’ (‘Messiahs‘) that will show great ‘signs and wonders’, Matthew 24:24.

So just like the first exodus, Pharaoh’s magicians were able to perform magic enchantments and miracles, even turning a staff into a serpent like Moses and Aaron did. But we know who won. However these end times shall be very deceptive.

‘Signs’ are for a wicked and adulterous generation, which is very definitely our end time generation, the most proud, godless, defiant and wicked generation since the flood. Who would have thought that we got here so quickly? This is a generation that has the morality of Sodom. We have mainline churches that are just the world by another name. Our generation is heathenistic, God hating, socialist/communist, new age, ‘trans-gender’ and ‘trans-humanist’ and it is ‘trans-itioning’ into the abyss and hell fire and will be soon ‘trans-ported‘ there if they don’t repent. Unless the Lord does something pretty radical with this dumbed down, medicated, tranquillised and godless generation very few will not wake up let alone repent. This generation is numbed by godless media, endless entertainment and the constant distractions of smart phones and other electronic media and devices. They are hooked into drugs, pornography or just ‘self’. We have never been so connected via technology, and we have never been so isolated from true community and communion both with God and with each other. This is a broken generation. Who will reach them?

Well this is the reason we have a tribulation in the first place, it is the only way Jacob and others will wake up. ‘Tribulation’, in this sense, is actually a ‘mercy’, even if it doesn’t feel like it. When the bad things happen and the bad guys take over, it gets our attention. When tribulation comes many will abandon the faith, many ‘so called Christians’ will curse and blame God and fall away, they have ‘no root‘ as the parable of the sower makes clear, Matthew 13:6. Others will turn to the Lord before the end comes. The ‘glory of the Lord’ is about to shine for a final wake up call before ‘Babylon’ is destroyed.

Not only will the Lord shake things up via the tribulation but He will use signs and wonders via the 144,000 and from regular members of His Body. The wedding in Cana of Galilee is a picture of the wedding of Yeshua and His people and the ‘best wine’ is for ‘last’, John 2. The Holy Spirit is coming in power as the ‘enemy’ comes in ‘like a flood’, Isaiah 59:19.

The 144,000 have their part to play. What I am about to say concerning the 144,000 I have said before but for those who have not read this or have forgotten let me say again. I am going to talk about stuff that should be familiar to my regular readers. Most of what I am about to say should be revision.

The two chapters that talk about the 144,000 in the book of Revelation are chapters 7 and 14. I believe that these two chapters refer to two different groups. According to I Chronicles 27:1 onwards, David actually had 288,000 men of war divided into 12 ‘courses’ of 24,000 men for each of the 12 months of the year. Would it be any different for the Messiah, Yeshua, the Son of David? I have said before that I believe that there are ‘two groups‘ of 144,000, one related to the Barley Harvest, these are ‘adults‘, and one related to the Wheat Harvest and these are actually ‘children‘. I derive this from Isaiah 66:7-8 and also by carefully reading Revelation 12 which seems to partly repeat itself but it is actually telling us that there are two groups. We will just look at Isaiah because that is the clearest.

Isaiah 66:7-8
7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

So we have two groups of 144,000 here. The first group is called the ‘man child’ and is brought forth by the ‘woman’ ‘before she travailed’ which was ‘before her pain came’. That is, before the tribulation takes hold in a painful way. But then there is another group called ‘her children’ that were brought forth as soon as Zion travailed. So that is the second group. The first is related to Barley and hence the 7 days of ‘Unleavened Bread’, and the second group related to the finest of wheat and thus Pentecost. They are raptured at the resurrection at that time.

The first group are related to the ‘walls’ and ‘gates’ of the ‘heavenly Jerusalem’, they open portals because they are ‘gates’ they are ‘everlasting doors’, Psalm 24:7. The second group are directly related to the throne. There is much more that I could say, but I will leave it at that.

Both are ‘sealed’. Both are ‘virgins’ , the first group are spiritually virgins and the second group are spiritually and physically virgins because they are children. I believe both have their father’s name in them. Both are marked. The first group marked with a ת, Tav, being those that ‘sigh’ over Jerusalem, Ezekiel 9:4, and the second group an א, ‘Aleph’, are the ‘leaders’, the ‘calves’, the Hebrew word ‘Aleph’ means all of those things. Combined they make the Aleph-Tav group of 288,000, sons of God. They are masculine in gender spiritually compared to the church which is feminine in gender spiritually. Although they come from the Congregation of Israel (Church), they are separate from her. They are the 12 loaves on the ‘Table of Shewbread’ while the Church is the Menorah. David was born in Bethlehem, as was Yeshua. They are both men of war. Yeshua will return from heaven as a warrior. Bethlehem means house of bread, but it also means house of war. The word Shewbread in Hebrew is Lechem Panim, literally, ‘Bread of His Face/s’ or ‘Bread of His Presence’. That ‘bread’ is ‘Yeshua’ and the two groups of 144,000. They are warriors of Yeshua’s house. They are like His ‘honour guard’ and they are ‘His brethren‘.

Now a question that has perplexed me concerns the location of the mount Zion in Revelation 14 where the 144,000 are standing with Yeshua. You see there are two Jerusalem’s and two Mount Zion’s, one on earth and the other in Heaven. So are the 144,000 standing by the temple mount on mount Zion on earth or above? Before I answer this let’s back up a bit.

I believe that the 144,000 are just like Yeshua in the sense that they begin a ministry of evangelism with the gospel of the Kingdom with ‘signs and wonders’ before they become warriors. Like Yeshua they are the suffering ‘bruised reed’ servant of Isaiah 42 before they are the warrior ‘polished shaft’ (arrow) servant of Isaiah 49. I have wondered if they began this ministry portion of their calling before they are sealed or after. I have thought that it was before (as I have described in previous articles). Now I suspect it is after. I believe that their sealing is during the feast of Joy which is Tabernacles/Sukkot. This is just before the 7^th seal judgement is released. I believe that their spirits are called up to heaven for this. So it is not a rapture of body soul and spirit, but just their spirit that is ‘raptured’ (‘caught up’, harpazo, ἁρπάζω, ) to ‘Heaven’ as Paul mentions in 2 Corinthians 12.

II Corinthians 12:2-42 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up <harpazo, ἁρπάζω, raptured> to the third heaven.
3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

This will be instantaneous, and I suspect that they will ascend and descend in an instant. Because time in heaven is on a different timeline to that of earth, they can come back down after spending hours or days up there and it appears like they never left. They will be ready for action as soon as their spirit returns to their body and they will know their mission and have new gifts and spiritual power and authority to do what they have to do to wake people up.

Are they sealed on earth or heaven? I think the context in Revelation 7 is clearly heaven but we are given more information in the 2^nd book of Esdras. You can read the entire chapter for more information. I believe that they are ‘sealed’ in heaven in accordance with 2^nd Esdras 2. This Apocryphal book was in the original 1611 KJV bible and I have found nothing in it which goes against scripture.

II Esdras 2:35-38
35 Be ready to the reward of the kingdom, for the everlasting light shall shine upon you for evermore.
36 Flee the shadow of this world, receive the joyfulness of your glory: I testify my Saviour openly.
37 O receive the gift that is given you, and be glad, giving thanks unto him that hath led you to the heavenly kingdom.
38 Arise up and stand, behold the number of those that be sealed in the feast of the Lord;

So they are sealed in a feast, and this sealing has to be before the ‘four winds’ ‘blow’, Revelation 7:1. I believe that the seals are opened in the seventh month and so I believe that the feast referred to here where ‘joyfulness’ is mentioned is Tabernacles. They then come down and begin their ministry. Until they ascend on another feast of Joy, perhaps Unleavened bread or Pentecost (or both because there are two groups of 144,000).

So there is an assembly of the 144,000 in heaven, and most likely the heavenly mount Zion. But there may be an earthly display of them when they are in their full immortal bodies, and this display of the 144,000 may be on the earthly temple mount. This is guesswork, but Jacob will have been raised up at this stage if it is on earth due to the resurrection in Daniel 12.

Whether in heaven or earth, Jacob will see ‘his children’. When Jacob lost Joseph it broke his heart. But when he not only was reunited with Joseph in Egypt but saw his two sons, he was so glad that he adopted them as his own. They became tribes of Israel (who is Jacob) and Jacob blessed them. So just like he saw Joseph’s two sons, ‘Ephraim’ and ‘Manasseh’, so it shall be in the end times, Jacob shall see his ‘heavenly children‘, all the 144,000 of them, all ‘firstborn‘ sons and daughters. Just like Ephraim, there will be a special double blessing upon these ‘firstborn‘ end time ‘children‘.

Isaiah 29:22-24
22 Therefore thus saith the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
23 But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

In these end times Jacob will see the ‘144,000’ supernatural ‘children’. These are the Pentecost wheat, the Aleph group of 144,000 in particular. The name of the Lord shall be sanctified, and the people of Israel, will begin to truly ‘fear the God of Israel‘. People will come to repentance because of them, ‘erred in spirit shall come to understanding‘.

If people truly understand the scriptures they begin to see the supernatural in plain view, whereas before they just read these verses with no real comprehension as to what they are reading. This is why I am labouring with these huge articles to try and explain this stuff.

There maybe a use for the ‘earthly temple mount‘, because it may be used by Yeshua to display His children, which are Jacob’s children also. Because the 144,000 are from the 12 tribes of Israel they are Jacob’s ‘children‘. But because their spirit comes from the Father, and because their souls and bodies were formed by Yeshua, they are His ‘children‘ too. The bible tells us that these are ‘firstfruits’, Revelation 14:4 . And it also tells us that not only is Jacob waiting to see them, so is the whole of ‘creation‘ (KJV ‘creature’).

Romans 8:18-21
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Notice that before our ‘glory’, comes our ‘sufferings’. Like Joseph and Yeshua were rejected and betrayed by their brethren, so also the 144,000 will be rejected before they are lifted into a place of authority and glory by God himself.

But here is the amazing good news on top of this. The manifestation of the ‘sons of God’ will bring about the liberation, not only of Israel but all of creation itself!!! It will be delivered from the ‘bondage of corruption’, Death will be conquered at this time. This will be at the resurrection mentioned in Daniel which I believe occurs on Pentecost. (I have many reasons for believing this). This will be when nuclear bombs are going off and the Holy Spirit is being poured out. Both ‘good’ and ‘evil’ happening at the exact same time. And that could be next year perhaps!

These verses on the ‘manifestation of the sons of God’ by extension in the context of Paul’s epistle to the Romans refers to all of us in Messiah. But it refers to the ‘firstfruits’ first.

The Barley Harvest workers will be commissioned first and their job will be to prepare the way for the 2^nd Exodus as Antichrist rises. The second group of 144,000, the ones in Revelation 14, the Aleph group, arise at Pentecost. And they may be from ‘Ephraim’ and ‘Dan’, the only two tribes that are not listed in the first group in Revelation 7. They are the two tribes that had ‘golden calfs‘ in their territory. How appropriate that the children in Aleph group are related to ‘calfs‘ because ‘Aleph‘ also means ‘leader‘ and ‘calf‘! They are the true Alpha Males (and females I believe also).

There may be a first fruits rapture at this time of Pentecost. But there may also be one when the first group of 144,000 adults are spiritually sealed in Heaven. I have had various theories as to when exactly all this happens but I believe that the 3 main pilgrimage festivals are the prime times for this to occur, Exodus 34:22-23, Deuteronomy 16:16. I suspect the Lord will take the 144,000 to heaven spiritually first and then later bodily. I have flip flopped a few times on which feast it happens on. At present, my timeline is for this possible Trumpets to Tabernacles period this year. I suspect that this is the time when the ‘seventh seal’ is opened as I have discussed before. We shall soon see if this is right or wrong. I have often been wrong when it comes to specifics of timing, but I may have the right ‘idea’, again ‘time will tell’. My approach maybe right or partly right. We should be getting a clearer idea as time marches on. I have a certain order of things in my mind with certain markers as to when certain events started or will start. I will share more on that in the next article on the timeline. Of course as usual I am speculating, but as I often say, that’s one of things that we do while we wait, we are ‘watching’, Luke 21:36. Nevertheless I believe something is about to go ‘bang’, prophecy is about to be fulfilled at an alarming rate, especially if the trumpet judgements begin! Whether it is the trumpet judgements or not, I still believe things are about to accelerate. They are already gathering pace. At some point we will know more than we do now concerning timing, ‘knowledge’ will increase as things are ‘unsealed’ at the time of the end.

Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

We are living in an era of hi technology and ‘knowledge’ and Artificial Intelligence. This all stems from our choices in the Garden of Eden, we ate from the ‘tree of knowledge’. This knowledge and technology will lead to the ‘Beast system’. But there is another sort of knowledge, and that is the knowledge of Him, the knowledge of Yeshua and His Word. The exact context of the verse above, is in relation to the ‘words’ being ‘shut up’ and sealed until the ‘time of the end’. I believe we are in the ‘time of the end’ and the ‘seals’ are already being loosed, and more is to come. Our ‘book’, the bible, should be open and devoured because the ‘words’ are being made known. Many shall ‘run to and fro’ to get God’s people up to speed as the pace quickens. The ‘birthpangs’ are upon us already I believe and they are ‘quickening’.

So to sum up this section, I believe that the temple mount area will be a place where the Lord will have the final say. He will put His kids on display, the 144,000, for Jacob and the whole world to go wow!

The temple will also be a place where the 2 witnesses prophecy for 3.5 years during the rise of the Antichrist and his ‘covenant with many’. The Lord will use the temple for His purposes and Satan will misuse it for his. It all depends on the holiness of the people. Bricks and mortar do not make us holy. Only the Spirit of the Living God in the life of someone that believes the bible and believes in the Messiah Yeshua and does what His Word says is made Holy. Holiness comes from the Lord not a building made with stone. The temple is only as holy as those that frequent it.

Conclusion

We are coming into deceptive times, dark times, deadly times but also glorious and triumphant times, resurrection times and ‘Zombie Apocalypse‘ times. We are coming into ‘rapture‘ times and ‘2^nd Exodus of Israel & Judah‘ times. This is when the promises in the Garden of Eden find their final fulfilment for ‘good‘ and for ‘evil‘ depending on what we have chosen. This is when the Kingdom of God and the Satan go head to head in the battle for the hearts of Adam’s race and Israel in particular. The ‘temple in Jerusalem‘ and the ‘temple of the Holy Spirit‘, our body, are ground zero in the conflict of the ages. This is a ‘bloodline war‘. Will we truly be Children of the ‘2^nd Adam‘, or children of the ‘Beast‘?

There is a showdown coming between ‘two seedlines’ the ‘seed of the serpent’ and the ‘seed of the woman’. The seed of Israel and Judah are at the centre of it. And the physical land of Israel and Jerusalem in particular are at the centre of it. Jerusalem is a cup of trembling for all nations.

Finally the ‘temple mount’ and the soon to be rebuilt ‘Temple’ itself are the bulls eye of ground zero in this cosmic, celestial war between the forces of ‘good’ and ‘evil’ for the prize of dominion of the earth. Satan who is the serpent that crawls on his ‘belly’ will go to war with the ‘seed of the woman‘ that ‘issues‘ forth from the ‘belly‘. The name ‘Gihon’, and the ‘watercourse’ besides the temple show how the battle for dominion between the two seeds will find it’s greatest expression in the Holy place of the rebuilt ‘third temple’. The interior walls of the temple connect us to the scenes of paradise. Both the ‘temple of the human body’ and the ‘physical stone temple made by hands’ are the ultimate object of Satan’s ‘Mark of the beast’ and the ‘Abomination of Desolation’. We are looking at hi-tech spiritual defiling of humanity here.

Yeshua has purchased our redemption by ‘His blood‘. There is no need for the Levitical high priest to go into the Holy of Holies once a year to Atone for us. Yeshua has done this by his own blood, once for all. But that doesn’t mean there wont be temple worship both in the tribulation or the millennium. The scriptures make clear that there will be temples in both near future time periods.

Before the temple is built the Lord will ‘shake the heavens and the earth‘ and release the ‘four horseman‘ of the ‘apocalypse‘ as Haggai, Zechariah and Revelation make clear. And afterwards the temple will be rebuilt and sacrifices and offerings will be made once more when Israel is in the land. This rebuilding will occur after the 7^th seal and 7 trumpet judgements that end the first set of 7 years. It is my belief this will be in 2026, so I am watching carefully, this is why I am writing the large articles. If I am wrong then it can’t be far off. According to Paul we should know the ‘season‘, I Thessalonians 5:1. On the Hebrew Calendar, every month begins with a blowing of trumpets. Therefore I believe that the Revelation judgements of the ‘seven trumpets‘ will be over ‘seven months‘ and will be this prophesied time of ‘shaking‘ in particular. Yes things are moving rapidly already and we have had wars and earthquakes, but this 7 month period of trumpets will be so supernatural and overwhelming. If this ‘shaking‘ begins by the 7th Hebrew month then 7 months later brings us to the end of the first Hebrew month in which Passover occurs. The 2^nd Exodus will then commence in the 2^nd Month on 2^nd Passover as I have related in other articles. This will be followed by the resurrection of the righteous and the wicked (at Pentecost) which will encompass the ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ of the ‘evil dead’, that are the water spewed out of the mouth of the serpent/dragon. ‘Zion‘ will be on the run at this time, leaving ‘Babylon America‘ amidst the fall of Satan and His host. The 144,000 will be active then as will Michael and his Angels. This is celestial and earthly warfare of angels and men. The remnant of Zion will be protected as they leave America.

The sacrificial system will exist during the tribulation within the rebuilt ‘third temple’. The Lord will not accept this worship from hearts that are not reconciled with Him. He is not impressed with religion, whether in temples or cathedrals. The temple is not a magic box. Religious hypocrisy will be visited with judgement. The Antichrist will confirm a 7 year covenant with many. Temple worship will cease after the first 3.5 years of the 7 year covenant is broken during the short reign of the Antichrist. How long the temple worship actually goes for within this first 3.5 years is up to speculation as far as I can tell. It will take time to build the temple. It won’t take nearly as long as ancient times. It could begin quickly and offerings could be made before construction is completed. It will briefly end due to religious hypocrisy until Yeshua returns to save the remnant of Judah and Jerusalem in accordance with Zechariah 12.

During this soon coming period of shaking, both Israel and ‘Babylon America’ will be attacked. I believe that the ‘Abraham Accords’ and the setting up of a ‘Palestinian State’ will initiate the process of the ‘curse‘ upon the whole earth. This could happen before the end of October 2025. Tabernacles 2025 could see the attack begin or events leading up to it. We could see rioting on the streets as foreigners raise up a shout against ‘Babylon America’, Jeremiah 50:15, 51:14. Persecution and nuclear attack and then invasion will begin suddenly. This is while the 7 trumpet judgements are coming upon the world. The 144,000 will be commissioned to wake up and lead the remnant out of ‘Babylon America’. The remnant of the lost tribes and Jews will leave our ‘Babylon‘ humbled and weeping, Jeremiah 50:4. The Holy Spirit will be poured out as the mushroom clouds go up on that final Pentecost, which I believe is 2026. We must not hang around because it will be totally destroyed. Satan and his fallen Angels, the Nephilim and the ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ are around the corner. Many in ‘Ephraim’ that survive the initial attack will perish because they stay after the 144,000 have broken out!, Hosea 13:13. Joseph is a bull. Bulls have big eyes to see. But sadly they can be stubborn too. The very large and blessed tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh will die in large numbers because of stubbornness which is idolatry, a refusal to listen the the prophets. Their judgement is that they will eat one another, along with Judah that refuses to listen either. The Lord is looking for a small and humble remnant not a large and proud one.

By the way, the reason I am writing such long articles recently, which many people don’t have time or interest to read, is I want to unpack what is in our immediate future if we are not ‘raptured’. I know that the subject of the ‘rapture’ is a loaded one, but I believe there will be ‘multiple raptures’ depending on what harvest we are a part of based on the 3 times per year the males are to be presented before the Lord, Unleavened Bread, Pentecost and Tabernacles, Deuteronomy 16:16. We are coming up to Tabernacles shortly, and the Feast of Trumpets announces the judgement to come on Yom Kippur. So it is possible for there to be a ‘rapture’ then. Whenever this event comes I don’t believe it is for all believers, but only for those that are watching and ‘ready’. I suspect (and I could be wrong) that the birth pangs are about to come upon Zion very strongly from September/October 2025 as we come into Tabernacles (Sukkot). The 144,000 could be commissioned to begin their miraculous ministry as both darkness and glory come to those who remain. There will be a time of ministry and awakening as judgement hits our nations.

New World Order tyranny, war, pestilence, economic hardship, persecution, famine and death and hell are all part of just the first 5 seals. I believe these seals have been released since the Beastial transhumanist agenda of the COVID-19 Plandemic began. I believe that the Lord has been holding back the horses of judgement, even they they are walking ‘to and fro‘ on the earth as Zechariah 1 details. He is giving His people time to wake up. God is merciful. I believe time is about to run out. We will see all four horsemen (the four winds/spirits) riding hard as soon as the 144,000 are ‘sealed’ which I believe is as soon as the 7^th seal is loosed. I maybe wrong on timing, but I believe that I am running out of time to be wrong. Signs are multiplying in the natural and the supernatural. I suspect the 7^th seal is loosed is during Tabernacles 2025. We are about to enter the 7^th year of the first 7 years of the 14 year tribulation period! I had hoped that the Lord would use the 144,000 before then but it seems that it is all coming very suddenly. They shall be commissioned shortly and their spiritual giftings and ‘superpowers’ will increase as the persecution increases until they are raptured and return for warfare. There is a bit of ‘Star Wars’ and ‘various superhero movies’ in the end times battles, it is ‘out of this world’ what is coming. The ‘2nd Exodus’ from ‘Babylon America’ and elsewhere will already be in progress, and Satan and his Angels will have already been cast out of heaven. This could be by the 2^nd Hebrew month next year in April/May of 2026. We have to wake up. ‘Fear of prophecy’ is ‘idolatry’, because it is bowing down before the ‘spirit of fear’. We need to get rid of our ‘Jezebel golden calf of fear of prophecy’. We need to ‘fear the Lord’. He is coming soon!

You know I can’t read God’s word enough. The more prophecy I read, the more Torah I read, the more of the Gospels or Epistles I read, the more I understand and the more I want to keep reading. I am hooked on God’s word. David was a bible addict. And he was very zealous. Passion for the Word of God, the bible, along with spiritual understanding should be our experience if the law (Torah) is truly ‘written upon’ our ‘heart’ like so many claim. Psalm 119 should be our ‘song’. The more I read the more I see how it is all interlinked and supernatural. How can anyone not want to study prophecy and Torah I just don’t understand. It is wonderful. That is why the fear that so many have of reading prophecy is so anti Torah. Yeshua is the Torah, He is the Word. And thus the hatred of prophecy is a foreign spirit, it is the spirit of Antichrist, the spirit of Jezebel that kills the prophets. It is just plain wrong! I know that there are really really dark things in the future, but there are glorious things in our future. Hope comes from faith and faith comes from the Word of God. We just have to trust the Lord. Suffering Christians in communist countries would hardly have access to the bible and they would treasure a few lines of scripture scribbled on a worn out piece of paper. They would hand it from person to person and memorise it and it would give them hope and sustain them. Here we are in the west with as many bible translations and computer aids and still people would prefer the junk on Netflix to bible study. It shows how unworthy and carnal this generation is, and this generation of believer. But the Lord shall save a remnant. But many that call themselves followers of Yeshua actually hate the word of God. Many will perish because they love not the truth enough to be saved (including believers). Thankfully I am not the judge. I thank God that I have more time available this year to study and get the word out.

I will talk more about the ‘timeline’ in the next article and show some graphics. Again this is speculation and guesswork on my part. But we should all be aware that something big is coming upon our world already. We should all be awake, as many struggle just to pay their bills and put food on the table. Trump and godless or even well meaning politicians worldwide can’t solve our problems, time is up. We are already making bricks for Pharaoh and we have to get our own straw. My hope is when the ‘final straw‘ is broken, some people will ‘wake up’ from godlessness, religion or halfhearted lukewarmness! The ‘Bride‘ should already be ‘awake‘ and watching unto prayer, I Peter 4:7.
