My observation is that God judges based on our faithfulness,
or lack thereof, and determines His judgments based on timeframes of X years,
determined on His Moedim (festivals). God’s judgments are always designed to
bring Israel to repentance, but they look different before and after the
Messiah. This is an update on these patterns.
Prior to the Messiah, all judgments pertained only to
Israel, and the fierce nations appointed by God to encourage repentance. Over
the last two thousand years, the sequences seem to have been divided into East
vs. West skirmishes, with the fulcrum being Turkey, divided into four hundred
year or four hundred ninety year intervals, with multiple patterns of dominance
based on Jubilee cycles; setting up for a final conflict in the end of days destined
to focus on Turkey. The hint: ALL of the Revelation Cities were in Turkey.
[Pre-Messiah Patterns] Now I have given all these
lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I
have given him also the beasts of the field to serve him. All the nations shall
serve him and his son and his grandson, until the time of his own land comes.
Then many nations and great kings shall make him their slave. Jeremiah 27:7-8
(ESV) [and] This entire land will become a ruin, a waste; and these nations
will serve the king of Bavel for seventy years. But when the seventy years are
over, I will punish the king of Bavel and that nation for their sin,’ says
Adonai, ‘and I will turn the land of the Kasdim into everlasting ruins. Jeremiah
25:11-12 (CJB) [became] Thus was fulfilled the word of ADONAI spoken by
Yirmeyahu, "until the land has been paid her Shabbats"-for as long as
it lay desolate, it kept Shabbat, until seventy years had passed. II Chronicles
36:21 (CJB) [and] in the first year of his reign, I, Dani’el, was reading the
Scriptures and thinking about the number of years which Adonai had told
Yirmeyah the prophet would be the period of Yerushalayim’s desolation, seventy
years Daniel 9:2 (CJB) [and] Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus,
whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose
the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates
shall not be shut; Isaiah 45:1 (CJB) [Meaning: Cyrus was appointed Messiah by
Isaiah in 700 BC to replace Nebuchadnezzar after exactly seventy years of
captivity 606 BC to 536 BC.]
[Post-Messiah Pattern] And aviv [Jacob] refused, and
said, I know it, beni (my son), I know it; he also shall become a people, and
he also shall be great; but truly achiv hakaton [younger brother] shall be
greater than he, and his zera [seed] shall become a multitude of Goyim. Genesis 48:19 (CJB) [became] For
I do not want you to be unaware, Achim b’Moshiach, of this raz (mystery), lest
you be wise in your own estimation, that a hardening in part has come over
Yisroel, until the full number of the Goyim has come in [Meaning: the end of days will occur when the full number of Gentiles come to
faith]; Romans 11:25 (OJB)
Yearly, Shemitah, and Jubilee judgments: Every year
during the ten days from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur, divine individual decisions
are determined and meted out after the holiest day of the year. A greater family
judgment event occurs every Shemitah or seventh year, as certain items, such as
debts or slaves are settled or returned, and the land rests based on Torah. An
even greater national event occurs every Jubilee or fiftieth year, only in Israel,
as land is returned to the rightful owner; which I argue isn’t a human, for we
only rent Israel’s land from God.
When should we expect the next appointed event; on a
Jubilee Year? Based on an obscure and highly accurate Prophecy
of the Last Ten Jubilees by R. Judah ben Samuel,
“When the Ottomans conquer Jerusalem, they will rule over Jerusalem for eight
Jubilees. Afterwards, Jerusalem will become no-man’s land for one Jubilee, and
then in the ninth Jubilee it will once again come back into the possession of
the Jewish nation – which would signify
the beginning of the Messianic end time.” …any time after the real New Year Aviv/Nisan 1, 5777 (3.28.17) to (2?) Adar 29, 5778 (3.16. or 4.18.2018), God may redeem the Temple Mount or eretz (land) Israel—setting off end time’s signs affecting
Gentiles too—based on Torah and historic Jewish customs. I assume He will hasten the process after Yom Kippur 9.30.17.
“Yom Kippur,
the Day of Atonement, occurs on the 10th day of Tishrei, 10 days after Rosh
Hashanah. Jewish tradition believes that on this day God places a seal upon the
Divine decrees affecting each person for the coming year. In other words,
decisions of life and death, peace and prosperity have all been decided and are
now sealed. The Book of Life is closing on this day.
The sequence of events in the cycle of the Jewish year
starts with Rosh Hashanah and continues through the next 10 days to culminate
with Yom Kippur. Divine decisions are made on Rosh Hashanah, when all of
humanity stands in judgment. These decrees are sealed on Yom Kippur and the
intervening 8-day period, the Ten Days of Repentance, are the window of
opportunity for the human dynamic to influence the Divine decrees. On
Yom Kippur we make our final plea to God.”
[The rules of the Jubilee redemption are:] “If a man
sells a dwelling house in a walled city, he may redeem it within a year of its
sale. For a full year he shall have the right of redemption. If it is not
redeemed within a full year, then the house in the walled city shall belong in
perpetuity to the buyer, throughout his generations; it shall not be released
in the jubilee. But the houses of the villages that have no wall around them
shall be classified with the fields of the land. They may be redeemed, and they
shall be released in the jubilee. As for the cities of the Levites, the Levites
may redeem at any time the houses in the cities they possess. And if one of the
Levites exercises his right of redemption, then the house that was sold in a
city they possess shall be released in the jubilee. For the houses in the
cities of the Levites are their possession among the people of Israel. But the
fields of pastureland belonging to their cities may not be sold, for that is
their possession forever. Leviticus 25:29-34
“But no devoted thing that a man devotes to the Lord,
of anything that he has, whether man or beast, or of his inherited field, shall
be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to the Lord. No one
devoted, who is to be devoted for destruction from mankind [Yeshua], shall be
ransomed; he shall surely be put to death. Lev 27: 28-29
[Is Israel in God’s eyes considered “Walled or
Unwalled?”] Thus says the Lord God: On that day, thoughts will come into your
mind, and you will devise an evil scheme and say, ‘I will go up against the
land of unwalled villages. I will fall upon the quiet people who dwell
securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having no bars or gates,’ to
seize spoil and carry off plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places
that are now inhabited, and the people who were gathered from the nations, who
have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell at the center of the earth. Ez
38:10-12
[God is Israel’s Firewall!] And I lifted my eyes and
saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand! Then I said, “Where
are you going?” And he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its
width and what is its length.” And behold, the angel who talked with me came forward,
and another angel came forward to meet him and said to him, “Run, say to that
young man, ‘Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, because of
the multitude of people and livestock in it. And I will be to her a wall of
fire all around, declares the Lord, and I will be the glory in her midst.’” Up!
Up! Flee from the land of the north, declares the Lord. For I have spread you
abroad as the four winds of the heavens, declares the Lord. 7Up! Escape to
Zion, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon. Zechariah 2:1-7
Who Conquered Jerusalem in 1967: God or Man? “It
was clearly a case of divine will, hitoruta d’la’ila (awakening from above).
The entire war came at us against our will, but the battle for Jerusalem even
more so. Everyone who fought in the war saw this,” Rabbi Begon said. “From the
outset, the war moved forward so fast, not like a normal war that moves along
slowly, according to the plans of generals. There were plans, but the battle
ran ahead of that. After 2,000 years of longing, it took three days. Before we
knew it, we were on the Temple
Mount, feeling like we were dreaming.”
The
Mystery of the Lost Jubilee: Part XX – 6000 Years Old?
On June 7,
1967, [Iyyar 28, 5727] IDF paratroopers advanced through the Old City
toward the Temple Mount and the Western Wall, bringing Jerusalem’s holiest site
under Jewish control for the first time in 2000 years. There are sound
recordings of the scene, as the commander of the brigade,Lt. General Mordechai
(Motta) Gur, approaches the Old City and announces to his company commanders,
“We’re sitting right now on the ridge and we’re seeing the Old City. Shortly
we’re going to go in to the Old City of Jerusalem, that all generations have dreamed
about. We will be the first to enter the Old City...” and shortly afterwards,
“The Temple Mount is in our hands! I
repeat, the Temple Mount is in our hands!”
United
Nations resolution 181, passed fifty years later on November 29, 1947, [Kislev
16, 5708]
[Allenby] elected to make his entrance through Jaffa
Gate instead
of by horse or vehicles to show his great respect for the holy place on foot.
After capturing Gaza,
Allenby moved north, eventually defeating the Ottomans and capturing Jerusalem
on the first day of Chanuka, December 9, 1917 [Kislev 24, 5678].
First
Zionist Congress August 29 to August 31, 1897 [Elul 1, 5657]: was the
inaugural congress of the Zionist Organization (ZO) (to become the World
Zionist Organization (WZO) in 1960) held in Basel (Basle). “At Basel I founded
the Jewish State. If I said this out loud today l would be greeted by universal
laughter. In five years perhaps, and certainly in fifty years, everyone will
recognize it.” (Theodor Herzl)
In
1867, a team from the Royal Engineers, led by Lieutenant Charles Warren and
financed by the Palestine Exploration Fund (P.E.F.), discovered a series of
underground tunnels near the Temple Mount. Warren secretly [citation needed]
excavated some tunnels near the Temple Mount walls and was the first one to
document their lower courses. Warren also conducted some small scale
excavations inside the Temple Mount, by removing rubble that blocked passages
leading from the Double Gate chamber.
Sir Captain (later General) Charles Warren (1840-1927)
was sent by the PEF (Palestine Exploration Fund) in 1867 to excavate the Land
of Israel and Jerusalem. He was a Second
Lieutenant in the Royal Engineers corps and an engineer by education. He later served as Commissioner of the
Metropolitan Police in London. His work
in Jerusalem took place in the areas surrounding the Temple Mount, as
excavation of the Temple Mount itself was banned by the Ottoman
authorities. Following this decree, he
conducted an excavation of the area south of the Temple Mount and uncovered a
massive fortification, which led him to explore the hill at the foot of the
Temple Mount, known today as the City of David hill. In October
1867 [Tishrei 5628], he entered the Gihon Spring and began to
investigate the underground tunnels surrounding the spring. There he discovered a vertical shaft that led
to a manmade tunnel connecting the spring, at the foot of the hill, to the
hill’s peak. He proposed that the system
was intended to connect the city’s residents with the spring, and the water was
drawn from this shaft.
In
early 1516, the Ottoman Turks, wary of the danger of an alliance between
the Mamluks and the Persian Safavids, started a campaign of conquest against
the Mamluk sultanate. On 21 September, the Mamluk governor of Damascus fled the
city, and on 2 October the khutba in the Umayyad mosque was pronounced in the
name of Selim I. The day after, the victorious sultan entered the city, staying
for three months. On 15 December, he left Damascus by Bab al-Jabiya, intent on
the conquest of Egypt. Little appeared to have changed in the city: one army
had simply replaced another. However, on his return in October 1517 [Tishrei 5278], the sultan
ordered the construction of a mosque, taqiyya and mausoleum at the shrine of
Shaikh Muhi al-Din ibn Arabi in Salihiyya. This was to be the first of
Damascus' great Ottoman monuments.
Sultan
al-Ashraf Aqnouk al-Ghuri (1513-1516) was the last Memluk ruler. In a crucial
battle outside Cairo in 1515, he was defeated by Sultan Selim I of the Ottoman
dynasty effectively bringing the end of 250 years of Memluk rule. In December 1516, Sultan Selim arrived outside Jerusalem. The leaders of the Muslim, Christian and Jewish
communities welcomed him with opened arms. Hence, there was no bloodshed nor
forceful conquest. In reality, the people of Jerusalem were greatly relieved to
see the Turks and gladly handed the sultan the keys to the city.. Being a pious
man, it is said that upon seeing the El-Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock,
Selim jumped off his horse, got on his knees and shouted "Thank be to Gog!
I am the possessor of the sanctuary of the first Qiblah (House of God)!"
(Martin Luther’s Protestant Reformation October 31, 1517)
Fall 67AD/Tishrei 3827: Vespasian takes Judaean cities
of Jamnia and Azotus. Titus returns to Caesarea. Titus moves from Gischala to
Caesarea. Vespasian marches from Caesarea to subdue Jamnia and Azotus and then
returns to Caesarea with a large number who had surrendered under treaty.

70 AD began the four-490 year timeframes until the
Messianic Age. By 560 AD Rome was collapsing, as Justinian 1, the last Roman,
died finally in 565. After wars centered in and around Turkey, peace was
declared in 567 AD, a Jubilee Year, which lasted nearly 490 years.
“503-557 AD Persian-Roman Wars- Between 503 and 557
A.D., three successive wars -- interrupted by periods of peace -- are fought
between the Persian Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire. All have the same
basic cause -- an inability to define the borders and the relationship between
the two empires. In
567 [Jubilee Year] a 'definitive' peace was reached.
Under its terms, Rome agreed to pay the Persians 30,000 pieces of gold
annually. The borders between the empire were reaffirmed, Christian worship was
to be protected in the Persian Empire, and regulation of trade and diplomatic
relations were laid out.”
The Council of 867 AD [Jubilee Year] led to the Schism
of 1050 [490 year]-1054 caused the Seljuq Turks to invade Asia Minor [Turkey] in
1067 [Jubilee Year] which caused the Crusades of 1096-1291.
The Ottoman [Turkey] Conquest of 1517 [Jubilee] by
Selim 1 caused Jerusalem’s streets and walls to be rebuilt in 1539-1540 [490
year] by Suleiman, his son.
The end of war in 1917 [defeating Turkey] will affect
the war of 2017 [Jubilee], which will affect the Messianic Age by 2030 [490
year]
To understand the
biblical chronology of this period it is necessary to consider the key issues
relating to this period: see www.cogwriter.com/six_thousand_year_plan_6000.htm for the chronology dating creation at 3983 B.C.
From Exodus (1483 B.C.) to 2017
: 70 Jubilees (3500 years)
So, 50 Jubilees (Creation to Exodus) + 70 Jubilees
(Exodus to 2017) = 120 JUBILEES.
120 Jubilee’s x 50 years = 6000 years
I hope you noticed the pattern of Israel being the
fulcrum pre-Messiah, and Turkey being the fulcrum the last two thousand years. Yes,
Turkey has been quiet since 1917, but they have a tragic history. I expect Gog
(Obama) to create Turkish (Magog) acrimony with Russia to start his war.
Russia,
Turkey and the US: between the terrible and the catastrophic Russia and
Turkey are headed by two of the most brash, abrasive and swashbuckling leaders
in the modern world.
Turkey’s Ottoman Empire ruled over Eastern Orthodox
Slavs in the Balkans from the 15th century until its final dissolution less
than a century ago. Turks still see themselves as the guardians of Muslims,
reflected in their admirable willingness to host over one-and-a-half million
refugees fleeing the Syrian War. The Russians historically considered
themselves the protector of the Balkans' Orthodox Christians and often fought
wars with the Ottomans, notably in the Turkish-Russo War of 1877-1878.When the Shofar [literally: Yovel/Jubilee] sounds, they may go up to the mountain. Exodus 19:13 (CJB)
