A Historical Correction: the time of the Gentiles/ Nations has come to an end
A photographer when taking a picture has a panoramic view of what he sees, however, he can only present a snapshot of what he has viewed, even if he has a wide-angle lens. So If you desire to see what the photographer fully observed, you must discover the place where the picture was taken. Therefore, I encourage you to not just enjoy the snapshot of this word but to discover the full panoramic view of its beauty.
“For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have” Luke 8:17-18
I am writing this with the presumption that the reader knows who the true Hebrew Israelites of the Bible are and that a Gentile is a person who is not a Hebrew Israelite. The word stems from the Hebrew term “goy”, which means a nation. If this is new to you, I would suggest that you read the previous post titled ‘Our History’.
“For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.” Romans 11:24-25
Paul is making a clear distinction between Israel and the Gentiles. He is informing us of a time that God has set for the Gentiles to come into his kingdom. This opportunity was presented to them simply because of the sin of our forefathers, who turn their hearts towards idolatry. However, in this verse, he warns the Gentiles not to be wise in their own conceit. To imply that Israel being the natural branch would be blind to their true identity, and the Gentiles as the wild branch through their own conceit would forget that they are the wild branch.
“I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?” Romans 11:11-12
Paul Father explains that the Father’s only reason for bringing in the Gentiles was to provoke Israel to jealousy, and he did this by giving them rule over what belonged to Israel, the entire world. So our demises (enslavement) brought riches to the Gentiles.
“And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” Luke 21:24
What is this period called the "times of the Gentiles"? A close look at the Old Testament helps to define the beginning of this period. The Gentiles are identified in Genesis 10:1-5 as the European nations. Their "time" means that Gentiles rule over the world, including having power over the true Israelite people will soon come to an end.
The Gentiles begin to rule Jerusalem in 586 BC when the Jewish temple was destroyed by the Babylonians. Between this time and the time of Jesus on earth, the Jewish temple was rebuilt. However, Jerusalem was no longer under Jewish rule. Instead, the Jews were allowed to rebuild the temple seventy years later as predicted by Jeremiah.
“They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the Lord hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever: And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt. Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the Lord; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt. Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words, Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.” Jeremiah 25:5-9
The Roman Empire later ruled Jerusalem, even helping to improve and expand the temple structure. The Romans ruled during the time of Jesus. The Jewish people later rebelled against Roman authority and the temple was destroyed in 70 AD.
In 30 AD, Jesus made a prophetic statement that the temple would be destroyed, provoking his disciples to ask three questions.
“And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” Matthew 24:1-3
The above scripture came to pass in 70 AD when the Romans invaded Israel causing millions of Israelites to escape into West Africa. In his book, The Great Roman-Jewish War: 66–70, the Roman historian, Flavius Josephus, stated over thousands of years ago, that the Israelites migrated into West Africa. He writes:
“General Vespasian and his son Caesar Titus fought against the Jews. Millions of Jews fled into Africa, among other places, fleeing from Roman persecution and starvation during the siege.”
Until this very day, Jerusalem is occupied by the Gentiles as stated in Luke 21:24, Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles until their time is fulfilled. The Ashkenazi Jews (converts) are the Gentiles now occupying Jerusalem until their time is up.
The beginning of sorrows as spoken of by Jesus is a period characterized by specific signs that indicate His return is near. During the time of these signs, an increase in pain and sorrow will take place that the Bible likens to a woman as she goes through labor pains and is about to give birth.
The analogy of a pregnant woman to the end times is drawn from Old Testament passages such as Isaiah 13:6-8 that describe the Day of the Lord. Before a woman gives birth, she experiences painful contractions. The culmination of the sorrows or birth pangs comes at delivery when the pain is most intense.
After that, there is a joy because the child is born. As with a woman about to give birth, the time from the beginning of sorrows until Jesus returns and establishes His eternal kingdom will be characterized by increasing pain and sorrow. It will culminate with utter destruction; when God judges the nations, and in doing so, destroy the beast’s (Antichrist’s) kingdom.
We are witnessing the fall of America; a global pandemic, a collapsing economy, and civil unrest as never seen before. Unemployment is nearing 14%, Covid-19 is running rampant, with over 100,000 deaths, and a public murder of George Floyd by four policemen that has sparked an outbreak of protest throughout the world. Coupled with all of this, we have a president so deeply rooted with the curse of racism and blinded to his own ignorance, that he is adding fuel to every situation, including the provoking of war with China.
From my view, the nations of the world are being judged for the sins committed against God’s chosen people. As we can see with the protests throughout the world, that there is a conscious awakening of people to the plight of Black people in this world. People of all races are marching and declaring that Black Lives Matter. The news broadcasters are reporting with a conviction of heart, the mistreatment and unfairness of the system against Black people like never before.
“Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.” Isaiah 42:1
Judgment has come to the Gentile nations. Their time is up, and the correction of history is in full play. The amazing thing is that only a few can connect the dots to what is happening to Bible prophecy.
We are on the brink of World War III. President Trump recently ordered one million reserves into active duty to help fight the coronavirus. This seems strange to me when he will not commit to purchasing protective equipment for front line workers. These troops are being called to service for the preparation of civil unrest and World War III.
“For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink. Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head; Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things: The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border. Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head: And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the Lord hath spoken it.” Joel 3:1-8
As unbelievable as all of this may seem, allow me to remind you that you haven’t seen anything yet. I warn you that in the days to come there will be massive food shortages, no electricity, internet communication will be cut off, no cell phone service. As I have stated many times before these are the last days, the beginning of sorrows, the tribulation period is nearer than we think.
“The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book. For, lo, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the Lord: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it. And these are the words that the Lord spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah. For thus saith the Lord; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it. For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.” Jeremiah 30:1-9
While protesters stood peaceably in front of the White House, inside the President and his staff constructed a plan to aggressively move with force against them. The military was commanded to fire rubber bullets, tear gas, and use brute force clearing a path for the president to stand in front of a church with a Bible in his hand for a photo opportunity before the entire world. The irony of it all was trumped the next day when the White House denied releasing any tear gas or rubber bullets.
In my opinion, this was a symbolic gesture, suggesting to all believers that the prophetic words of the Bible are being revealed. “Pharaoh let my people go”. It was also a sign that the abomination of desolation shall soon stand in the holy place.
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.” Isaiah 11:11-12
In short, the "times of the Gentiles" has come to an end. They will be judged for the mistreatments of God’s chosen people that they enslaved and brought to a strange land as mentioned in
“And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him. And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.” Genesis 15:12-14
