THE GREATER EXODUS
Every person ever born has an ultimate end. That final destiny is entirely dependent on the choices we make in life. We either are going to Hell or we are going to be with the LORD. You say what about the little baby who never had a chance to make choices? What about the man and his wife in that far off place whom have never heard one word about the word of God? I assure you that the merciful and loving God I worship has in His perfect plan a final destiny for every one of them. I cannot judge them, but I know that by the scriptures I read, anyone whose name is not in the Book of Life will not be in the Kingdom of God. It is entirely God's judgement whose name is in the Book of Life.
In the end times there will be trouble for the world like has never been or will be again.
Mat
13:24 Another parable put he forth
unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good
seed in his field:
Mat 13:25 But
while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his
way.
Mat 13:26 But
when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares
also.
Mat 13:27 So
the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow
good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
Mat 13:28 He
said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou
then that we go and gather them up?
Mat 13:29 But
he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with
them.
Mat 13:30 Let
both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to
the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to
burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
The end of
the tribulation is the harvest and during the tribulation Yeshua will know who
are tares and who are good fruit. We
will go through the tribulation and see all things as promised.
The tares or the goats will abandon their faith and join the world for
survival. Even most of the church will join in this system of politics, economy
and religion, which is becoming known as the “one world government.”
Everyone that does not join in this new movement will become hated and
ostracized. The faithful will be
persecuted and driven from their homes.
God would
not have written so much about the end of the age and all these events if He did
not plan for us to see them. He
would not warn His children about Jacob’s
Trouble and then take us out before they came.
I think you know by now that you are descendants of Jacob, so this is a
trouble for all of us, not just the Jew. But
Jacob’s Trouble is not the wrath of God. The greater tribulation is the last
three and half years known as Jacob’s’
Trouble, will be brought on by the Anti-Christ, the False Prophet and the
Harlot, and, it will be against them that the wrath of God will be poured out.
2Th 2:3
Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of
lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,
2Th 2:4
who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of
worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as
being God.
Jacob’s Trouble will be when the Anti-Christ establishes himself as ruler and the one with all the answers for financial problems and the solution for peace. At that time he will proclaim himself God and have his capital in Jerusalem.
Rev 13:4
they worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and
they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who is able to
wage war with him?”
Rev 13:5
There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies,
and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him.
He will cause everyone to take the mark or they cannot buy or sell.
Rev 13:16
And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor,
and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on
their forehead,
Rev 13:17
and he provides that no one
will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either
the name of the beast or the number of his name.
Yeshua will then mark His 144,000 servants.
Rev 14:1
Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb was
standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having
His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads.
Those that preach the pre-tribulation rapture use the verse cited below to prove that we will not go through the tribulation. They are correct in that God’s wrath is not poured out in the tribulation but at the end toward Satan and the army coming against Israel. The job of the 144,00 is to protect and lead us during Jacob’s Trouble.
1Th 5:9 For
God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus
Christ,
The 144,000 will be from every tribe and will be spiritual virgins. This means being a part of the harlot church has never defiled them, they have never fornicated with or served other gods, and they have been faithful Bondservants all their believing life. The 144,000 will be scattered all over the world, just as God’s chosen people are now. They will be our protectors, our leaders, our priests, and for the LORD they will deliver us back to the land. The story of the exodus from Egypt to the Promised Land is the pattern for the greater exodus from where we are now to the Messiah’s Kingdom. The guide for that is the Torah. Jeremiah and Ezekiel was speaking of the end of the ages when spoke of another Exodus. But the Exodus they spoke of would not be like the one from Egypt.
Jer 23:7
“Therefore behold, the days
are coming,” declares the LORD, “when they will no longer say, ‘As the
LORD lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt,’
Jer 23:8
but, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up and led back the descendants of
the household of Israel from the north
land and from all the countries where I had driven them.’ Then they will live
on their own soil.”
And
Eze 39:27 “When
I bring them back from the peoples and gather them from the lands of their
enemies, then I shall be sanctified through them in the sight of the many
nations.
Eze 39:28
“Then they will know that I am the LORD their God because I made them
go into exile among the nations, and then gathered them again to their own land; and I will leave none of them there any
longer.
Eze 39:29
“I will not hide My face from them any longer, for I will have poured
out My Spirit on the house of Israel,” declares the Lord GOD.
And
Rev 12:1
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the
sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
Rev 12:2
And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be
delivered.
Rev 12:3
And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red
dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Rev 12:4
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast
them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be
delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Rev 12:5
And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod
of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
Rev 12:6
And
the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that
they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Rev 12:7
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the
dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Rev 12:8
And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Rev 12:9
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil,
and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and
his angels were cast out with him.
Rev 12:10
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and
strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the
accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and
night.
Rev 12:11
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their
testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Rev 12:12
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens,
and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea!
for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that
he hath but a short time.
Rev 12:13
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted
the woman which brought forth the man child.
Rev 12:14
And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the
wilderness, into her place, where she is
nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
Rev 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.
Rev 12:16
And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and
swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
Rev 12:17
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the
remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony
of Jesus Christ.
The exodus into the ‘wilderness
of the people’ will be by God's chosen people.
It will be an exodus to a place where the woman (Believing Israel and
Judah) will be protected and miraculously fed for a period of 1260 days. The 144,000
will be the protectors and guides away from Satan and the Antichrist.
Here is an important point. In
the wilderness God will bring His people into the ‘bond of the covenant.’ In other words, He will bring us
into His very presence and teach us His holy law and write it on our hearts. It
is then we will be an absolutely sanctified and holy people for the very first
time in the history of His people. For us to be ‘face to face’ and in
His ‘bond
of the covenant’ we have to
become sanctified and holy. There will be rebels that refuse to obey God’s
teaching and instructions in this exodus and they will be weeded out.
They will not enter the real Promised Land, the eternal inheritance of
the seed of Abraham.
The ‘wilderness of the people’, what is it?
WILDERNESS, n. [from
wild.]
A desert; a tract of land or region
uncultivated and uninhabited by human beings, a wide barren plain. In Scripture,
it is applied frequently to the deserts of Arabia. The Israelites wandered in
the wilderness forty years.
We picture a wilderness as a place
where there is little vegetation, water and animal life.
It is an arid or semi-arid region. Conditions
are harsh and dangerous. Survival
even for the already conditioned animal life is difficult.
There is a constant struggle for the few resources among the inhabitants
and there is a constant threat to life for even a scrap of food or water.
During Jacob’s Trouble the faithful
believers will be forced out of their homes.
They will not take the mark of the beast so they will not be able to buy
or sell. They will not have jobs or
any means to earn a living. They
will be on the street among other people. They
will struggle for every bit of food and water they can garner.
Barter and trade will become a way of life for them.
They will join with others or they will not survive at all.
They will be hated and in constant danger for their life. Many will become martyrs and be killed.
A vast number will lose their faith and join the system for a job, a loaf
of bread or a secure place to sleep. Some
to save their life.
1Ti
4:1 But the Spirit explicitly says
that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to
deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,
and
2Th 2:3 Let
no one in any way deceive you, for it will
not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the
son of destruction,
However, the faithful, the remnant, will begin to
learn God’s Torah as only the Israelites did in their wilderness.
They will start gathering in small clusters all the while migrating to
larger cluster. Eventually they
will join groups that are led and protected with men of great power and wisdom.
These marked men of God will lead them and protect them and teach them to
be Holy.
The greater
exodus, therefore, is a means of sanctification, which will take place so
everyone can see it. This way God
will vindicate His Name, His Torah before the whole world, the angel host above,
and to Satan and his host. This is what you get from both Ezekiel and Revelation
when you look at it with an eye to see.
In the first exodus they had a cloud by day and a fire at night to guide them. There are no indicators that we will have clouds and fires to guide us, but we will have the Holy Spirit and the 144,000. Yeshua will be there too. Yeshua will lead us and show us the way and where we will be safe. This will happen all over the world, 144,000 groups to be exact. As groups start making their way toward the Promised Land they will meet others along the way and will merge until all groups reach Israel. Besides, He already said He will prepare us a highway and there we will be judged.
Eze 20:33
“As I live,” declares the Lord GOD, “surely with a mighty hand and
with an outstretched arm and with wrath poured out, I shall be king over you.
Eze 20:34
“I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you from the lands
where you are scattered, with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm and
with wrath poured out;
Eze 20:35
and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will
enter into judgment with you face to face.
Eze 20:36 “As I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you,” declares the Lord GOD.
And
Isa 11:16 And there will be a highway from Assyria For the remnant of His people who will be left, Just as there was for Israel In the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.
And
Isa 35:8
A highway will be there, a roadway, And it will be called the Highway of
Holiness. The unclean will not travel on it, But it will be for him who walks that
way, And fools will not wander on it.
Isa 35:9
No lion will be there, Nor will any vicious beast go up on it; These will
not be found there. But the redeemed will walk there,
Isa 35:10
And the ransomed of the LORD will return And come with joyful shouting to
Zion, With everlasting joy upon their heads. They will find gladness and joy,
And sorrow and sighing will flee away.
During this time there will be two witnesses that will preach in the streets of Jerusalem.
Rev 11:3
“And I will grant authority
to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days,
clothed in sackcloth.”
Rev 11:4 These
are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the
earth.
Rev 11:5
And if anyone wants to harm them, fire flows out of their mouth and
devours their enemies; so if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in
this way.
Rev 11:6
These have the power to shut up the sky, so that rain will not fall
during the days of their prophesying; and they have power over the waters to
turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as
they desire.
Rev 11:7
When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of
the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them and kill them.
Rev 11:8
And their dead bodies will lie
in the street of the great city which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt,
where also their Lord was crucified.
Rev 11:9
Those from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will
look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not permit their
dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.
Rev 11:10
And those who dwell on the earth will
rejoice over them and celebrate; and they will send gifts to one another,
because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
Rev 11:11
But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God came
into them, and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell upon those who were
watching them.
Rev 11:12
And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up
here.” Then they went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies watched
them.
These witnesses will be killed and lie in the streets for three and a half days and the whole world will see them on television, many will rejoice seeing them, but then they will be brought back to life and taken to God.
We learn in Daniel that the Jews will once again be allowed to build an altar and perform a sacrifice again as a condition of peace.
Dan 9:27 "And
he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of
the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of
abominations will come one who makes
desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out
on the one who makes desolate."
It does not say that the temple has to be rebuilt, as many believe. The Jews do not need a temple to perform a sacrifice, only an altar built of uncut stone. When they start to sacrifice on the Temple Mount again, there will be such an outcry from the Muslims and other religious groups that the world leader will have to shut it down. It won’t only be the Muslims that will protest but the animal rights groups all over the world will raise an uproar.
The Harlot who is with the Anti-Christ will become hated. In Biblical Prophecy a woman symbolizes a religious system. In this case the Harlot and her daughters is more than just the Harlot Church and the daughters that sprang from her. She represents the system that came from Babylon and now is the system of Mystery Babylon. The system is made up of three governing parts:
1. The financial systems of the world operate by coinage (money) administered through banks and the first coins ever minted were in Babylon in a primitive banking system.
2. Nimrod was the first King with his vassals and governors. That same political system is still with us today in the form of Presidents, Chairmen and dictators.
3. Nimrod became Baal, the sun god. The worship system and rituals of worship has filtered into the Harlot Church and is still with us today.
Rev 17:4
The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and
precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a gold cup full of abominations
and of the unclean things of her immorality,
Rev 17:5
and on her forehead a name was
written, a mystery, “BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE
ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
Rev 17:6
And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the
blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered greatly.
Rev 17:7
And the angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? I will tell you the
mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven
heads and the ten horns.
Rev 17:8
“The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of
the abyss and go to destruction. And those who dwell on the earth, whose name
has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the
beast, that he was and is not and will come.
Rev 17:9
“Here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains
on which the woman sits,
Rev 17:10
and they are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet
come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while.
Rev 17:11
“The beast which was and is not, is himself also an eighth and is one
of the seven, and he goes to destruction.
Rev 17:12 “The
ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but
they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour.
Rev 17:13
“These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to the
beast.
Rev 17:14
“These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them,
because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are
the called and chosen and faithful.”
Rev 17:15
And he *said to me, “The waters which you saw where the harlot sits,
are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.
Rev 17:16
“And the ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the
harlot and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and will
burn her up with fire.
Rev 17:17
“For God has put it in their hearts to execute His purpose by having a
common purpose, and by giving their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God
will be fulfilled.
Rev 17:18
“The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings
of the earth.”
The Harlot will become hated because she still represents the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob for much of the world. The people of the god of the Middle East (Allah) and the far Eastern gods and Gog and Magog (Russia) with no god, will hate her and seek to kill her and her daughters. They will come up against the Anti-Christ in Jerusalem, the False Prophet and the Harlot with a great army.
Rev 9:16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them.
The great war will start and a third of man-kind will die.
Rev 9:18 A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which proceeded out of their mouths.
Yeshua will return when the armies gather on the plains of Megiddo and they are about ready to destroy Israel, if He did not, all flesh would be destroyed. He will destroy the armies against Israel and deal with the Anti-Christ and his False Prophet.
Mat 24:21 "For
then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the
beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.
Mat 24:22 "Unless
those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake
of the elect those days will be cut short.
This is when we see the wrath of God.
Rev 14:9
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man
worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
Rev 14:10
The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out
without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with
fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of
the Lamb:
Rev 15:1
And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels
having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
Rev 15:2
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had
gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and
over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
And
Rev 19:19
And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled
to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army.
Rev 19:20
And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed
the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark
of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into
the lake of fire which burns with brimstone.
Rev 19:21
And the rest were killed with the sword which came from the mouth of Him
who sat on the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh.
This, then is the Great Tribulation that is prophesied throughout the scriptures. God has told us so much about it because He wants us to be ready for it in the last generation, our generation. He wants us to have the mind set that we will face Jacob’s Trouble and not lose faith as so many shall. Let no man deceive you with the Devil’s lie that we are going to be raptured out. We must, every one of us who make it through, be tested and taught to obey God. What wonderful rewards we are promised when we stand on that sea of glass praising God for His fulfillment of His perfect plan and restoration of all things.
Rev 15:1 Then I saw
another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels who had seven plagues,
which are the last, because in them
the wrath of God is finished.
Rev 15:2 And
I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had been victorious over
the beast and his image and the number of his name, standing on the sea of
glass, holding harps of God.
Rev
15:3 And they *sang the song of
Moses, the bond-servant
of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great
and marvelous are Your works, O Lord God, the Almighty; Righteous and true are
Your ways, King of the nations!
Rev 15:4 "Who
will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy; For ALL
THE NATIONS WILL COME AND WORSHIP BEFORE YOU, FOR YOUR RIGHTEOUS ACTS HAVE BEEN
REVEALED."
Rev 15:5 After
these things I looked, and the temple of the tabernacle of testimony in heaven
was opened,
Rev 15:6 and
the seven angels who had the seven plagues came out of the temple, clothed in
linen, clean and bright, and girded
around their chests with golden sashes.
Rev 15:7 Then
one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls
full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.
Rev 15:8 And
the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power; and
no one was able to enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels
were finished.
