ATONEMENT7. THE FEAST OF
TABERNACLES
THE FEASTS OF ISRAEL ARE WAY-POINTS ON THE PATHWAY OF THE SAINTS AS THEY MAKE THEIR PILGRIMAGE THROUGH HOLY HISTORY. THEY MARK OUT GOD'S AGENDA FOR THE REDEMPTION, SANCTIFICATION, AND ULTIMATE WITNESS AND GLORIFICATION OF ALL HIS COVENANT PEOPLE. THE CHOSEN WILL BE DRAWN OUT FROM BOTH HOUSES OF ISRAEL AND THE WIDER GENTILE CHURCH EXTENDING OUT TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. THEY WILL BE THE ULTIMATE SINGLE UNITED REMNANT ELECT.
As we discussed in the previous article there are Seven Feasts of Israel. In these sacred convocations the outline of Gods sovereign plan of the ages is laid out for the covenant people of God. The feasts, as they come into their New Covenant fulfillment are key way points on a road map showing us where we have come thus far and also shining a light on the pathway as it leads us onwards into holy history.
The YouTube video here contains a short 8 minute video.
It is a brief overview of the Seven Feasts of Israel or Seven "Appointed Times".

The Seven Feasts of Israel
Be sure to also see this article on the Hebrew Calendar.
And click HERE to see the YouTube Video on Biblical Time.So as we have seen, the first four feasts, (or appointed times), of Israel have already been fulfilled in the New Covenant. Three are yet to erupt into holy history.
FOUR FEASTS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED IN THE NEW COVENANT.
So the Seven Feasts of the Lord are not just quaint little Jewish traditions.
THREE FALL FEASTS ARE YET TO ERUPT INTO WORLD HISTORY.
Each of them has given or will give rise to seven blockbuster days in holy history.
Four of the seven already been fulfilled. There are three left to go.
Here is an overview of the situation so far.1. Passover
Fulfilled! (By Jesus/Yeshua at His crucifixion
on the afternoon of Nisan 14 in the spring of 32 A.D.) He was Israel's Passover Lamb.2. Feast of Unleavened Bread
on Nisan 15 in the spring of 32 A.D.) He was the Unleavened Bread of Heaven.3. Feast of Firstfruits
on Nisan 17 in the spring of 32 A.D.) He was the Firstfruits from the dead.4. Feast of Pentecost
on Sivan 7 in the summer of 32 A.D.)
The birthday of Israel was now also the birthday of the Church.

. go forth into the nations for the Gentiles to be evangelized).
God has called out, (and will continue to call out), His Chosen people from Israel in Judah,
from His amnesia suffering Lost Ten Tribes of Israel,
and from among the heathen, the gentiles.

Now here come the Fall Feasts.
They are probably just up ahead.
5. The Feast of TrumpetsUnfulfilled ....(as of yet).
6. The Day of Atonement
But due to unfold on Tishrei 10 in the fall season of some future year.
It's fulfilment will be the final climactic "last day" of this age.
The Jewish nation and "all Israel" will be saved! - Zech.12:8-13:1, Rom. 11)
Then comes the Day of the Lord.
It will be Doomsday for the wicked.
Soon after that comes the Resurrection-Rapture of the Elect.
7. The Feast of Tabernacles
Some future Tishrei 15 in the fall season of some future year
will see the coming 1000 year Millennium of Messiah.......................................................... .........................................................
All these above are the Seven Feasts of Israel.
As we can see, the next three events on God's agenda are up ahead.
They are the fulfillment of each of the three Fall Feasts of Israel.
These three Fall Feasts will usher us into the Millennium of Messiah.THE DAY OF ATONEMENT WAS INSTITUTED BY YHVH-GOD.
AND PROCLAIMED THROUGH MOSES AT MOUNT SINAI.
HE SET FORTH THIS "APPOINTED TIME" AS A STATUTE FOREVER.Leviticus 23:26-32 (NKJV)The Day of Atonement
26 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:
27 “Also the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the Day of Atonement.
It shall be a holy convocation for you;
You shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.
28 And you shall do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement,
To make atonement for you before the LORD your God.
29 For any person who is not afflicted in soul on that same day shall be cut off from his people.
30 And any person who does any work on that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people.
31 You shall do no manner of work; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 It shall be to you a sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict your souls;
On the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall celebrate your sabbath.”THE DAY OF ATONEMENT IS MORE THAN AN ANNUAL DAY OF JEWISH REFLECTION AND RITUAL. IT WILL EMERGE AS THE FINAL CLIMACTIC DAY OF ULTIMATE COVERING AND JUSTICATION. THIS FINAL DAY OF RECONCILIATION WILL COVER ALL THE RIGHTEOUS, BOTH PAST AND PRESENT. THIS EPIC DAY OF RECKONING WILL THEN USHER IN THE APOCALYPSE, THE UNVEILING OF MESSIAH.
The Day of Atonement is the 6th feast.
This is the most solemn day on the Hebrew calendar.
When it come into its climactic fulfillment it will be am event of epic, even Biblical proportions.
Because a blockbuster future Yom Kippur will become the last day of this present evil age.For most people the Yom Kippur, a "day of covering" (for sin), or a Day of Atonement is just another obscure Jewish holiday. Our Jewish brethren celebrate this as a day for reflection upon deeds done during the past year and with that the hope of doing better in the next. The tenth day of Tishrei is a date on a Hebrew calendar of unknown significance to the heathen goyim, the gentiles. The Lost Ten Tribes, swaddled in materialism and paganism in the West, are still suffering from amnesia. They are having trouble remembering their God and where they came from. And even those who through the blood of Messiah have entered into the Commonwealth of Israel do not know about it yet. See Ephesian 2:1-13. They have their ticket to the mansions. So why should they study the Old Testament and reflect upon their Hebrew roots? And since most post-modern Christians now listen to men rather than searching the Holy Scriptures for themselves they have not considered the Day of Atonement. Nor have they looked in to discover what it all might mean.
But all that is destined to change.
The Day of Atonement is destined to be a global event remembered forever by all humanity.Yom Kippur is destined to become more than just a Jewish day of personal reflection performed yearly,
More than a day of accounting and reconciliation with God and man celebrated at the end of every sabbatical year,
More than a day of economic and personal accounting at the end of every 49 year Jubilee cycle.
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement is declared by Moses to become a statute forever.
During the coming Millennium of Messiah it will continue to be all of the above.
But there is more!
Some stupendous future Day of Reckoning is destined break forth into world history.
Current human history under the rule of profane men will come to a screeching halt.Yehoveh-God as Messiah will come down Jacob's Ladder as Emmanuel, which means "God with us".
And a future momentous tenth day of the Tishrei moon will mark the last day of this present evil age.A future Yom Kippur will usher the world and its people into the Apocalypse, the unveiling of Messiah. Messiah's righteous judgments await the wicked, both angelic and human, and those justified by faith in the ultimate atoning blood covering of Messiah who at His first coming was Israel's promised Sacrifice Lamb and the Sufferin Servat the prophet Isaih spoke about in Isaiah 53. And so this is why the angelic rulers stir up the heathen gentiles to rage. (See King David's song in Psalm 2). The coming Throne of David is the ultimate target of all humanistic, communistic, capitalistic, ecclesiastic, and monarchical anti-Semitic loathing and furor.
Oh yes, the Day of Atonement must take its place in eschatology.
And it will.
That Day, the Day of the Lord will usher us into climax of this present evil age.Messiah will send the angelic grim reapers to pluck up the wicked. (See See Matthew 13:34-43.
After that on some day and hour unknown He will glorify His saints at the Resurrection-Rapture.
He will judge the nations at the Sheep-Goat Judgment.
Then He will establish His Millennial Kingdom here below, bringing this poor battered world that long awaited "Peace on earth".The Day of the Lord will be a time of ultimate shock and awe for those who have chosen to forget their God. Unrepentant evildoers will be carried off by the evil angels, the angels of wrath in that final grim harvest of the wicked. Then comes the ingathering of the Elect. This endtime harvest will be the most terrible and magnificent history this world has ever experienced.
IT APPEARS THAT THE FALL FEASTS STAKE OUT THE 70TH WEEK OF DANIEL. SOME FUTURE DAY OF ATONEMENT IS DESTINED TO WRAP UP THE FINAL HISTORY OF THIS AGE.
In the process of a study of the Fall Feasts the author made a rather startling discovery. As we can see laid out in the diagram below, (which is also an image link to the YouTube video), the next two Feasts will almost certainly mark out the beginning and the ending of that awesome timespan, the 70th week of Daniel, and the final 7 years of this age. The YouTube video shows how the 70th week of Daniel, (along with the 30 day extension beyond the final 1260 days to 1290 days as mentioned by Daniel in Dan.12:11), is staked out perfectly by the two upcoming Fall Feasts of Israel.
The Fall Feasts of Israel Mark Out The We can expect that the third Fall Feast, the Feast of Tabernacles, will also be a spectacular day in future history. It will see the establishment of the glorious Millennium of Messiah. Each one of these final three Fall Feasts will see epic future events break forth into world history. God's agenda for the salvation of His people and the restoration of this planet will be completed. And so Messiah's Millennial Kingdom will come.
Timeline of The Final 7 Years of This Age.
CLICK on the image above to go to the YouTube video.
How will the final seven years of this age begin? Looking at the facts, (which are revealed more fully in the article on the Feast of Trumpets), and the article on the Metonic Cycles it would appear that it will all begin with the seven year peace covenant spoken of by Daniel (Dan.9:27). This peace covenant will involve a handover of YHVH-God's sovereign land of Israel to a global megadealer, a false messiah. (John 5:43). This will achieve a shortlived period of "peace" in the Middle East and throughout the world.
This epic peace covenant will be for seven years. It will almost certainly be signed on some future epic Rosh Hoshanah or Jewish New Year. Rosh Hoshanah, or the Feast of Trumpets comes in the fall of the year and on the 1st day of the Tishrei moon.
Seven years later, and at the end of a seven year span comprising 86 moons in the 19 year Metonic Cycle comes the end of an awesome Tishrei 1 to Tishrei 10 seven year timespan. Eligible 86 moon Tishrei 1 to Tishrei 10 timespans across seven years begin in years 2005, 2006, 2008, 2011, 2014, 2016 and 2019. The seven year 1260 + 1290 = 2550 day timespan will terminate precisely on the awesome, ultimate, and climactic Day of Atonement. This holy day will erupt into history on the last day of this age. Day 1290, (Dan.12:11) will come 30 days beyond the end of the 70th Week of Daniel. Day 1290 will be the Day of Atonement and it will come on the tenth day of the Tishrei moon. At that time the sign of our returning Messiah will be seen in the heavens even on a day of thick darkness under a darkened sun and a bloody moon. (Mat.24:29-30) The armies of the nations will have been trampled at Armageddon. God will be pleading with the nations. He will be calling upon men to surrender to Him. It will be the 'last day', the last day to repent. This awesome day of decision presents the final opportunity for lost mankind to come to God.
Judgment Day will come on the day after this. It will then be Doomsday for the wicked. Evil angels will then come to gather up their human lackeys, the underlings that belong to them. (Ps.78:49) There will be many upon earth who have joined them in rebellion against God Almighty. The nations will be raging. (Psalm 2) And the armies of the nations will be encircling Jerusalem.
This will be an awful day for the wicked. All their nightmares will have finally come to reality. The day of God's wrath will be upon them. And the tares will be gathered for the fires. (Mat.13:30) It will be the day of vengeance. The returning Christ will destroy the wicked. Messiah will appear among His people as "the Breaker". He will come into His sheepfold at some place the Bible refers to as Bozrah. There He will liberate His flock from the incarceration of end-time Esau. The prophet Micah gives a brief description of this glorious and magnificent event. It is the Bozrah deliverance. (Mic.2:12-13)
THE FUTURE DAY OF ATONEMENT WILL BE AWESOME.
With the unfolding of the Day of Atonement all accounts between God and men will be settled. It is the last day of this age before the Day of the Lord opens up. Those will be an awesome 24 hours! The Day of Atonement is the most solemn day on the Hebrew calendar. As Zola Levitt has said, "on this Day of Atonement Israel either lived or died". This was the day the whole nation fasted before God for 24 hours. This was also the day in which the trumpets were blown to announce the 50th year, the Jubilee year. The Day of Atonement was the day of the final roll-call for the covenant people of God. On this day the final call went out and the final prayers were offered up to God. It was the wrap up day for all those who were being called by God into His great assembly.
IT WILL BE THE LAST DAY OF THIS PRESENT AGE.The Day of Atonement has always marked the end of one time period in preparation for the beginning of the next. On the 10th day of Tishrei the High Priest went into the holy of holies. He sprinkled the blood on the mercy seat for himself and for all of God's people. Since we are told in Hebrews that Jesus Christ/Yeshua Hamashiach is now our High Priest then He Himself has taken over that role. He will be officiating on that epic future Day of Atonement when it opens up. It is His blood, the blood of the promised Sacrifice Lamb that is placed on the mercy seat in the heavenly tabernacle.
The word 'atonement' means reconciliation. This Day of Atonement is a settling of accounts. The Day of Reckoning is a day in which all the accounts must be settled between God and His people for that year. Every 50 years the day takes on a wider meaning as well. In the Jubilee year the Day of Atonement wraps things up for that entire 50 year economic cycle.
If we are right about the next two feasts marking out the 70th Week of Daniel then that future Day of Atonement may have an even greater meaning. We can expect that this momentous future Jewish holiday, the epic future Day of Atonement, will probably erupt into holy history as the last day of this age. That final Day of Reckoning will be the grandaddy of them all. It will settle the accounts between God and man for the entire age!
THE DAY AFTER THAT EPIC FUTURE DAY OF ATONEMENT
When the sun sets on that epic future tenth day of Tishrei it will be all over for the wicked. They will have had their last chance. The final epic Day of Reckoning will have come. They will have had their chance to reconsider. God's judgment and His wrath is now about to be poured out. For these rebellious ones, DOOMSDAY will have arrived!
WILL SEE THE OPENING OF THE DAY OF THE LORD.
IT WILL BE DOOMSDAY FOR THE WICKED.The saints will be be there for all this! They will be witnesses to God's judgements just as they were when the plagues fell upon Egypt and the death angel reaped that grim harvest on the firstborn of Egypt back at the time of the Exodus. The 'Day of the Lord' will open up to a time of 'shock and awe' the likes of which this world has never seen. We are told that "All flesh will see the salvation of God." The righteous will definitely see God's judgment upon the wicked. Because His divine wrath will be coming down specifically and very personally upon the heads of evil men and women. Just as we saw with the plaques of Egypt God's wrath was targeted very precisely upon the wicked. God's covenant people were safe. When the the angels of God's wrath passed overhead those who had the blood of the lamb on their door were spared. Jesus tells us that the tares will be gathered first. If He said that the wicked would be plucked off the planet first then He meant it. Pre-Trib Bible Teachers say the righteous will be gathered first. They have organized an early Rapture for themselves seven years before the final judgment. But the Bible disagrees. Jesus Himself said quite plainly that the wicked will be dealt with first. They will, in fact, be carried of kicking and screaming. For the wild ones with the grim reaper tattoos their angels from Hell to which they have have given worth-ship will be there. They will have arrived. For rebels Christ's Second Coming will be all about vengeance and wrath. For these people the end of this age will be an experience of total horror. They will be taken off to a place of vultures. (Mat.24:28, Luke 17:34-37) Evil angels (Psalm 78:49) of hideous appearance will hover over them and then seize them. The wicked will be plucked up and taken off to the fires to be burned. (Mat.13:30)
Sometime during the next 4 days, before the Feast of Tabernacles, the righteous Elect will be gathered. (Mat.24:31) We do not know the day or the hour. (Mat.24:36) God's holy angels will bring them into the glory at the Resurrection-Rapture.
The Day of the Lord or the Day of Christ is mentioned many times in poetic and prophetic scripture. It is there for our information. It is to encourage us to seek the face of God and receive His gracious gift of salvation while we still have time. Let us all, each one of us, make sure that we are ready for That Day. Because the Day of Judgment is surely coming.
Are we saved?
(John 3:16) Is our name written in the Lamb's Book of Life?
A time of great darkness will be coming upon the earth as this present age comes to its climax. (Isa.60). Are our lamps lit?
Do we have the oil?IMPLICATIONS OF THESE FUTURE EVENTS FOR US AS GOD'S ELECT.
What does all this tell us? Our God is in control of this world and its history. Indeed, He is the author and the scriptwriter of all these past and future climactic events. God's magnificent plan calls not only for the defeat of Lucifer and the redemption of His chosen people but also for the restoration of this planet to the beauty and order it once knew. After the witness of His covenant people, the tribulation saints, the final witness will be over. Messiah will then return. He will come to execute vengeance on the wicked and upon those who have abused and persecuted His covenant people. Messiah will deliver His covenant people of Judah at Jerusalem, and out at Bozrah. The saints, both the living and the dead, will be caught up to meet in the clouds in that glorious Resurrection-Rapture. Messiah will retake this world. He will deliver it from the powers of darkness.So the Elect of this age are in the loop. The saints are vitally involved in God's plan for the redemption of this world. We cannot escape from our responsibility. We are witnesses to Jesus Christ. We are in a blood covenant relationship with Him. We are the ones who are destined to bring the essential and final witness of Jesus Christ/Yeshua Hamashiach before the watching world and before men and angels. (Heb.12:1-4) In this manner the called out company, the ekklesia, the congregation/church of Christ are destined to become 'a royal priesthood, and a holy nation.' - Exod.19:6, 1Pet.2:9). This single refined and reunified congregation of God is marked for salvation, sanctification and glorification. It is an elect congregation, (Gr. ‘ekklesia’), a "peculiar people" drawn out of this fallen world from the Church, from Jewish house of Judah, (Zech.12:7-13:1), from all Israel,(Romans 11), and from out of every nation, race and tribe. (Rev.5:9-10, & Rev.7:9-17). This will be the remnant Elect, the complete and final tally of God's chosen people to be glorified out of this present age.
Yes our God is in control of affairs here below. Indeed He has a big, generous, comprehensive, all encompassing plan. That plan is well underway. God’s sovereign agenda will ring in and establish the true and lasting peace this world all longs for. Our returning King of Kings will also secure that elusive 'Peace of Jerusalem'. Genuine peace will come at last to the Holy City and the land of Israel. From there our Messiah, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, will bring His Millennial peace to the whole world. The superpowers, the 'United Nations', and the New World Order will all have strived in vain to secure world peace. But in 'that Day', and under the kingdom and priesthood of Messiah, that long awaited peace will have finally arrived. It will come through the Pax Meshiach, the glorious Millennium of Messiah.
The ecosystem and world geography will be transformed and blessed as well. Our returning Messiah will oversee the restoration of this creation and cosmos. Streams will break forth in the desert. The wilderness places will blossom as the rose. And the Shepherd of Israel will lead His sheep out to good pasture and to the streams of Eternal Life.

presents some perspectives on this Appointed Time.
SUMMARY
IN A FUTURE FALL SEASON ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE TISHREI MOON AN EPIC FEAST OF TRUMPETS WILL INITIATE DANIEL'S 70TH WEEK. THUS BEGINS THE FINAL SEVEN YEARS OF THIS AGE. THE END-TIME DRAMAS OF THE APOCALYPSE WILL THEN BEGIN. THESE WILL DIRECTLY INVOLVE THE CHURCH AND ISRAEL.SEVEN YEARS LATER, ON THE TENTH DAY OF TISHREI, ON DAY 2549 OF THE 2550 DAY TIMESPAN COMES THE AWESOME DAY OF ATONEMENT. IT IS THE LAST DAY TO REPENT AND IT BRINGS THE FINAL ACCOUNTING, ATONEMENT AND COVERING FOR SIN, AND RECONCILIATION FOR THIS PRESENT EVIL AGE. IT IS ALSO THE DAY OF FINAL SENTENCING FOR THE WICKED. THIS FINAL DAY OF RECKONING IS THE DAY WHEN ALL ACCOUNTS BETWEEN GOD AND THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THIS AGE ARE SETTLED. THE DAY FOLLOWING THIS IS JUDGMENT DAY, THE LAST DAY WHEN MESSIAH SPLITS THE HEAVENS AND ROLLS BACK SPACE-TIME AND THE COSMOS. MESSIAH WILL THUS BE UNVEILED,REVEALED IN THIS APOCALYPSE TO BE THE ULTIMATE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE. THUS ENDS THE FINAL SEVEN YEARS OF THIS ERA.
THE DAY OF ATONEMENT IS THE FINAL CHANCE TO REPENT FOR THAT YEAR, THAT SABBATICAL CYCLE, THAT JUBILEE CYCLE, AND THIS ENTIRE EVIL AGE GOING BACK TO THE FALL OF MAN IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN. IT IS THE LAST DAY FOR WAYWARD MANKIND TO RECONCILE WITH A HOLY GOD WHO HAS MADE PROVISION AND ATONEMENT FOR SIN WITH HIS OWN BLOOD.
THE VERY NEXT DAY THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL OPEN UP FIRSTLY AS THE DAY OF VENGEANCE. CHRIST/MESSIAH WILL RETURN IN VENGEANCE, RELEASING THE ANGELS OF WRATH UPON THE WICKED. (Mat. 13:30)THEN HE WILL GATHER HIS ELECT (Mat.24:31) AT THE POST-TRIBULATION RESURRECTION-RAPTURE.
THE DAY OF ATONEMENT IS OUT 30 DAYS BEYOND THE 70TH WEEK OF DANIEL. 30 DAYS BEYOND THE 1260 DAYS OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION. THIS AGE WILL TERMINATE 1290 DAYS FROM THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION. THIS IS THE 1290 DAYS REFERRED TO BY THE ANGEL GABRIEL IN HIS MESSAGE TO DANIEL. (Dan.12:11) THE DAY OF ATONEMENT NOT ONLY ENDS THE PERIOD OF GOD'S DETERMINED DEALINGS WITH HIS COVENANT PEOPLE IN THE 70TH WEEK BUT ALSO WRAPS UP HIS INTERNATIONAL DEALINGS WITH THE GENTILES OR THE GOYIM. FOR 30 DAYS MESSIAH WILL PLEAD WITH THE HEATHEN NATIONS WITH PESTILENCE AND WITH BLOODSHED AS THEIR ARMIES GATHERE AT ARMAGEDDON. THAT FINAL LUCIFERIAN DRAGON INSPIRED CAMPAIGN AGAINST JERUSALEM WILL BE TERMINATED IN A VERY SUDDEN AND DECISIVE WAY WHEN THE TRUMPETS OF JUBILEE SOUND AND THE SUN SETS ON THAT FINAL DAY OF ATONEMENT.
THE DAY OF ATONEMENT WILL BE THE SECOND TO THE LAST DAY OF THIS PRESENT EVIL AGE. IT WILL BE THE LAST DAY TO REPENT AND TO CLOSE ACCOUNTS WITH GOD. BEFORE MESSIAH RETURNS. BECAUSE THE VERY NEXT DAY IS JUDGMENT DAY WHEN MESSIAH RETURNS TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST EVIL MEN. THIS WILL THE LAST DAY. IT WILL BE DOOMSDAY FOR THE WICKED. GOD'S WRATH WILL BE POURED OUT UPON THEM IN A VERY PERSONAL WAY. THE ANGELS OF DESTRUCTION WILL CARRY THEM OFF IN THIS GRIM HARVEST OF THE WICKED.
THE WICKED WILL BE THE FIRST TO BE GATHERED AS THE AWESOME 'DAY OF THE LORD' OR 'DAY OF CHRIST' OPENS UP. THE EVIL ANGELS OR ANGELS OF DESTRUCTION, (Ps.78:49) WILL BE RELEASED. THE EVIL ANGELS WILL BE LOOSED TO EXECUTE GOD'S WRATH DIRECTLY AND SPECIFICALLY UPON THE HEADS OF THE WICKED. AS IN THE DAYS OF THE EXODUS FROM EGYPT THOSE WHO ARE COVERED AND UNDER THE BLOOD OF GOD'S SACRIFICE LAMB, YESHUA HAMASHIACH, WILL BE SAFE. THOSE WHO KNOW YHVH-GOD, THE GOD WHO HAS COME DOWN JACOB'S LADDER AND WHO TOOK ON FLESH AND REMAINING SINLESS AS THE UNLEAVENED BREAD OF HEAVEN EXTENDED HIMSELF INTO THIS COSMOS AS IMMANUEL, GOD IN THE FLESH, WILL BE SAFE. THEY WILL BE UNDER GOD'S DIVINE PROTECTION.
THE WICKED WILL NOT BE SO FORTUNATE. THEY WILL BE CUT DOWN AND CARRIED OFF BY THE ANGELS OF GOD'S WRATH AS TARES OR WEEDS IN THIS GRIM AND AWFUL HARVEST OF EVILDOERS. THE WICKED, THE TARES OR WEEDS WILL BE GATHERED AND TAKEN OFF FIRST. (Mat.13:30) THEN MESSIAH WILL GATHER HIS OWN, EVEN AS HIS WHEAT GATHERED INTO HIS BARN. THIS IS ACCORDING TO THE WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST/YESHUA HAMASHIACH IN THE PARABLE OF THE WHEAT AND THE TARES.
OLD TESTAMENT PROPHECIES PREDICTING
THE FUTURE RESTORATION OF ISRAEL.Jeremiah 31:31-34
31. "Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when 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 lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the Lord. 33. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."Isaiah 11:10-16
10 "And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, Who shall stand as a banner to the people; For the Gentiles shall seek Him, And His resting place shall be glorious." 11 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 who are left, From Assyria and Egypt, From Pathros and Cush, From Elam and Shinar, From Hamath and the islands of the sea. 12 He will set up a banner for the nations, And will assemble the outcasts of Israel, And gather together the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth. 13 Also the envy of Ephraim shall depart, And the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off; Ephraim shall not envy Judah, And Judah shall not harass Ephraim. 14 But they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines toward the west; Together they shall plunder the people of the East; They shall lay their hand on Edom and Moab; And the people of Ammon shall obey them. 15 The Lord will utterly destroy the tongue of the Sea of Egypt; With His mighty wind He will shake His fist over the River, And strike it in the seven streams, And make men cross over dry-shod. 16 There will be a highway for the remnant of His people Who will be left from Assyria, As it was for Israel In the day that he came up from the land of Egypt. - Isa. 11:10-16Jeremiah 16:14-21
14 "Therefore behold, the days are coming," says the Lord, "that it shall no more be said, 'The Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,' 15 but, 'The Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them.' For I will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers. 16 "Behold, I will send for many fishermen," says the Lord, "and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. 17 For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their iniquity hidden from My eyes. 18 And first I will repay double for their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable idols." 19 O Lord, my strength and my fortress, My refuge in the day of affliction, The Gentiles shall come to You From the ends of the earth and say, "Surely our fathers have inherited lies, Worthlessness and unprofitable things." 20 Will a man make gods for himself, Which are not gods? 21 "Therefore behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know My hand and My might; And they shall know that My name is the Lord.Jer 32:37-42
"Behold, I will gather them out of all the lands to which I have driven them in My anger, in My wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them back to this place and make them dwell in safety. And they shall be My people, and I will be their God; and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me always, for their own good, and for {the good of} their children after them. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put the fear of Me in their hearts so that they will not turn away from Me. And I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will faithfully plant them in this land with all My heart and with all My soul. For thus says the LORD, 'Just as I brought all this great disaster on this people, so I am going to bring on them all the good that I am promising them. (Again, no mass destruction is predicted after the return)Amos 9:13-15
Behold, days are coming," declares the LORD, "When the plowman will overtake the reaper And the treader of grapes him who sows seed; when the mountains will drip sweet wine, and all the hills will be dissolved. Also I will restore the captivity of My people Israel, and they will rebuild the ruined cities and live {in them} they will also plant vineyards and drink their wine, and make gardens and eat their fruit. I will also plant them on their land, and they will not again be rooted out from their land which I have given them," says the LORD your God.
