Themes Of Daniel (Scofield Study Bible)

Daniel, like Ezekiel, was a Jewish captive in Babylon. He was of royal or priestly descent (1:3). His long life extended from Nebuchadnezzar to Cyrus. He was a contemporary of Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Ezra and Zerubbabel.

Consider the themes of Daniel, which are: the four beasts, the Ancient of Days, The Son of man, the desecration of the temple, the prophecy of the seventy weeks, the manifestation of the man of sin, the great tribulation, the two witnesses, the return of the Messiah, the resurrections and the judgments.

Daniel is distinctively the prophet of the “times of the Gentiles” (Luke 21:24), (See Scofield “Luke 21:24”). His vision sweeps the whole course of Gentile world-rule to its end in catastrophe, and to the setting up of the Messianic Kingdom.

Introduction to Daniel (MacArthur Study Bible)

According to Hebrew custom, the title is drawn from the prophet who, throughout the book, received revelations from God. Daniel bridges the entire 70 years of the Babylonian captivity (ca. 605–536 B.C.; cf. 1:1 and 9:1–3). Nine of the twelve chapters relate revelation through dreams/visions. Daniel was God’s mouthpiece to the Gentile and Jewish world, declaring God’s current and future plans. What Revelation is to the NT prophetically and apocalyptically, Daniel is to the OT.

The following outline comes from the Scofield Study Bible. This study of Daniel is not a verse by verse examination of scriptures. Instead, the emphasis is placed on key areas that relate to the, “God’s Plan For The Ages,” study.

Nebuchadnezzar’s vision of the statue: Daniel 2:1-13.

Daniel interprets Nebuchadnezzar’s dream/vision: “four world empires” (Daniel 2:31-35)

First world empire: Babylon (Daniel 2:36-38; 7:4)

Second world empire: Medo-Persia (Daniel 2:39; 7:5; 8:20)

Third world empire: Greece (Daniel 2:39; 7:6; 8:21)

Fourth world empire: Rome (Daniel 2:40-43; 7:6; 9:21)

Messianic Kingdom to be established on Earth (Daniel 2:44-45; Matthew 3:2 (Scofield note)

Nebuchadnezzar recognizes the deliverance to be of God (Daniel 3:26-28)

The Vision and Humbling of Nebuchadnezzar – The King’s proclamation to all nations (Daniel 4:1-3)

Nebuchadnezzar’s vision of a great tree (Daniel 4:4-18)

Daniel interprets the dream (Daniel 4:10-27)

The dream fulfilled; the king’s restoration (Daniel 4:37)

Daniel’s Experiences under Belshazzar; Belshazzar defiles the temple vessels (Daniel 5:1-4)

The handwriting on the wall (Daniel 5:5-9)

Daniel interprets the writing (Daniel 5:10-30)

The Biblical Order Of The Monarchs Of Daniel’s Time (Scofield Note, Daniel 5:18)

Nebuchadnezzar (604-562 B.C.)

Belshazzar (553-539 B.C.)

Darius the Mede (539-531 B.C.)

Cyrus (539-530 B.C.)

God’s Plan For The Ages – 3 – Ezekiel 39 – The Nations That Will Attack Israel.

How will the alignment of nations attempt to destroy Israel?

Click onto any blue letter, number or symbol to see the video and text in the blog.

Consider the world events of today, as they relate to the mistreatment of Israel by the nations of the world, even by the USA. The lack of respect for “God’s chosen people” has never been greater by America than it has been during the time of the current White House Administration in the USA. Consider the description of the attacking forces of Israel in Ezekiel Chapter 39, as they are identified in the video. Consider the words of God, as they relate to His love for Israel. Dates for this post come from the Scofield Study Bible.

Deuteronomy 7:6 New Living Translation (NLT) 1451 B.C.

6 For you are a holy people, who belong to the Lord your God. Of all the people on earth, the Lord your God has chosen you to be his own special treasure.

Jeremiah 31:3 New Living Translation (NLT) 606 B.C.

Long ago the Lord said to Israel: “I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.

Zechariah 2:8 New Living Translation (NLT) 519 B.C.

8 After a period of glory, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies sent me against the nations who plundered you. For he said, “Anyone who harms you harms my most precious possession.

Zechariah 14:1-3 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 487 B.C.

God Will Battle Jerusalem’s Foes.

1 Behold, a day is coming for the Lord when the spoil taken from you will be divided among you. 2 For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city. 3 Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle.

Zechariah 14:2. “All the nations” gather against Jerusalem to battle.

Consider your nation. Consider the other nations of the world. “All nations” will be gathered together to attack and try to destroy Israel. The military forces will be composed of those who were not caught up to heaven with Christ at the time of the rapture (John 14:3; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18; 1 Corinthians 15:50-53). Included in the “nations of the world,” will be the forces of the United States Of America.

Zechariah 14:3. Consider the words that God gave to the prophet Zechariah as he describes His defense of Israel.

Ezekiel 39 587 B.C. Looking Ahead. New Living Translation (NLT)

The prophecies of Ezekiel cover a period of time from B.C. 595-574. Ezekiel prophesied to all of the displaced tribes of Israel. The attackers of Israel have long had a hatred for Israel, which is only about the size of the US state of New Jersey. The size of those which will attack Israel is far greater than Israel. But they and many other nations, to include many in the USA, consider “God’s chosen people” to be the cause of the hatred that exists in the world of the middle east. In future posts, we will consider the scriptural authority for Israel to possess its land. No US President has the authority to negotiate away that which God has given to “His chosen people.” We will also discuss the term, “God’s chosen people.” It is important for God’s people to be aware of the things in the world that are taking place which affect freedom and God’s people. The liberal news programs will not provide the truth in reporting that will be found in Fox News. Do the things that are written in the prophecies of Ezekiel, Daniel and Zechariah appear to be part of today’s world events? Continue to study the books of prophecy. Reliable study Bibles include: MacArthur, Ryrie, Jeremiah and Scofield. Continue to watch news broadcasts that are not biased against Israel or God’s scriptural truth. The reality of the writings of Ezekiel 38-39 is exactly that, “real,” and is as real as a heart attack. It is important for God’s people to place in offices of leadership those who will pay more than just lip service to the support of Israel and to the truth of God’s Word. Each person’s vote is important, and should be used in accordance with God’s will. It is time for God’s people to get serious about their relationship with God. “Please read this very carefully.” If you belong to a Church that is a part of the National Council of Churches, or of the World Council of Churches, there is a good chance that you have not been taught the importance of supporting Israel. There is also a good chance that you have not been taught that same-sex marriage, abortion on demand, and men going into the restrooms of women, “are wrong and are perversions of God’s Holy Word.” If you see nothing wrong with abortion on demand, same-sex marriage, or men going into the restrooms of women, there is a good chance that you have not been born again, and do not have the Spirit of God dwelling within your spirit, influencing your decisions and actions. Consider the truth of the following two verses.

The Wisdom Of God

1 Corinthians 1:18 New Living Translation (NLT)

18 The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.

1 Corinthians 2:14 New Living Translation (NLT)

14 But people who aren’t spiritual can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.

Pray for God to reveal the truth of His Word to you.

Ezekiel Chapter 39 Text

The Slaughter of Gog’s Hordes (vs 2. Consider the actions of God when He forces the un-Godly opposition forces into the battle against Israel.)

1 “Son of man, prophesy against Gog. Give him this message from the Sovereign Lord: I am your enemy, O Gog, ruler of the nations of Meshech and Tubal. 2 I will turn you around and drive you toward the mountains of Israel, bringing you from the distant north. 3 I will knock the bow from your left hand and the arrows from your right hand, and I will leave you helpless. 4 You and your army and your allies will all die on the mountains. I will feed you to the vultures and wild animals. 5 You will fall in the open fields, for I have spoken, says the Sovereign Lord. 6 And I will rain down fire on Magog and on all your allies who live safely on the coasts. Then they will know that I am the Lord.

7 “In this way, I will make known my holy name among my people of Israel. I will not let anyone bring shame on it. And the nations, too, will know that I am the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. 8 That day of judgment will come, says the Sovereign Lord. Everything will happen just as I have declared it.

9 “Then the people in the towns of Israel will go out and pick up your small and large shields, bows and arrows, javelins and spears, and they will use them for fuel. There will be enough to last them seven years! 10 They won’t need to cut wood from the fields or forests, for these weapons will give them all the fuel they need. They will plunder those who planned to plunder them, and they will rob those who planned to rob them, says the Sovereign Lord.

11 “And I will make a vast graveyard for Gog and his hordes in the Valley of the Travelers, east of the Dead Sea. It will block the way of those who travel there, and they will change the name of the place to the Valley of Gog’s Hordes. 12 It will take seven months for the people of Israel to bury the bodies and cleanse the land. 13 Everyone in Israel will help, for it will be a glorious victory for Israel when I demonstrate my glory on that day, says the Sovereign Lord.

14 “After seven months, teams of men will be appointed to search the land for skeletons to bury, so the land will be made clean again. 15 Whenever bones are found, a marker will be set up so the burial crews will take them to be buried in the Valley of Gog’s Hordes. 16 (There will be a town there named Hamonah, which means ‘horde.’) And so the land will finally be cleansed.

17 “And now, son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Call all the birds and wild animals. Say to them: Gather together for my great sacrificial feast. Come from far and near to the mountains of Israel, and there eat flesh and drink blood! 18 Eat the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of princes as though they were rams, lambs, goats, and bulls—all fattened animals from Bashan! 19 Gorge yourselves with flesh until you are glutted; drink blood until you are drunk. This is the sacrificial feast I have prepared for you. 20 Feast at my banquet table—feast on horses and charioteers, on mighty men and all kinds of valiant warriors, says the Sovereign Lord.

21 “In this way, I will demonstrate my glory to the nations. Everyone will see the punishment I have inflicted on them and the power of my fist when I strike. 22 And from that time on the people of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God. 23 The nations will then know why Israel was sent away to exile—it was punishment for sin, for they were unfaithful to their God. Therefore, I turned away from them and let their enemies destroy them. 24 I turned my face away and punished them because of their defilement and their sins.

Restoration for God’s People

25 “So now, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will end the captivity of my people; I will have mercy on all Israel, for I jealously guard my holy reputation! 26 They will accept responsibility for their past shame and unfaithfulness after they come home to live in peace in their own land, with no one to bother them. 27 When I bring them home from the lands of their enemies, I will display my holiness among them for all the nations to see. 28 Then my people will know that I am the Lord their God, because I sent them away to exile and brought them home again. I will leave none of my people behind. 29 And I will never again turn my face from them, for I will pour out my Spirit upon the people of Israel. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!”

Commentary: MacArthur Study Bible (Everyone should own a MacArthur Study Bible)

39:1–10 I am against you. This scene of the army’s ruin adds detail to 38:18–23 such as: 1) the disarming of soldiers (v. 3); 2) their fall in death (vv. 4, 5); 3) the gorging of birds and beasts on the corpses (v. 4); 4) fire sent also on others besides the army (v. 6); and 5) burning of weapons by Israelites (vv. 9, 10).

39:9, 10 burn the weapons. There is enough equipment to provide fuel for 7 years.

39:9 seven years. A vast army (cf. “many,” 38:15) would have much weaponry, requiring 7 years to burn. Since this is likely at the end of the time of tribulation, synonymous with the battle of Armageddon (Rev. 16:16; 19:19–21), the burials would extend into the millennial kingdom.

39:11–16 give Gog a burial place. Israelites moving E from the Mediterranean, with the sea to their backs and the Jezreel Valley before them, bury bodies. Further, people in the whole land help in the interment, which consumes 7 months. The description fits the time after Christ’s Second Advent extending into the millennial era as those who go into His kingdom do the work (cf.Rev. 20:1–10).

39:11, 16 Hamon Gog. Lit. “the multitude of Gog.” In v. 16, a city in the area will be named Hamonah, “multitude” (cf. a similar idea in Joel 3:14).

39:17–20 Speak to…bird and…beast. God’s word summons carrion birds and carnivorous animals to consume the fallen flesh as described in Rev. 19:21.

39:17, 18 My sacrificial meal. Since God describes the feast by the imagery of a sacrificial meal, the warriors who fell (v. 19) are described figuratively in words such as rams and other animals used in sacrifice.

39:21–29 I will set My glory. God vanquishes Israel’s foes to show His glory so that His enemies and Israel will all know that He is the Lord (vv. 6, 22). This is Israel’s salvation spoken of in Zech. 12:10—13:9 and Rom. 11:25–27.

39:29 poured out My Spirit. God’s provision of His Spirit at the Second Advent complements the regathering (cf. 36:27; 37:14;Joel 2:28). The Gog and Magog assault in Rev. 20:7–9 at the end of the Millennium is another assault on Jerusalem patterned after certain images of the invasion here (chaps. 38, 39), but it is a distinct event one thousand years after the millennial kingdom begins. See note on Rev. 20:8, 9.

God’s Plan For The Ages – 30 – Yeshua Jesus And The Day Of Atonement/Yom Kippur

Yom Kippur – Day Of Atonement (Jonathan Bernis)

The following link has information from a Jewish site that discusses The Day Of Atonement, also known as Yom Kippur.

http://www.chabad.org/holidays/JewishNewYear/template_cdo/aid/4687/jewish/Yom-Kippur.htm

Yom Kippur begins at sundown on Tuesday 11 October, 2016, and continues until sundown on Wednesday October 12.

Consider the following verses of scripture that relate to The Day Of Atonement/Yom Kippur.

The Day of Atonement – Leviticus 23:26-32 – Observed by the Israelites – Fulfilled in Christ (Romans 11:26, see below).

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.”

BibleGateway.com/MacArthur Study Bible note.

23:26–32 Day of Atonement. The annual Day of Atonement pointed to the forgiveness and cleansing of sin for the priests, the nation, and the tabernacle

The Day Of Atonement – Hebrews 9:28 – Jesus will bear the sins of those whom know Him as Lord and Savior.

Hebrews 9:28 New King James Version (NKJV)

28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

BibleGateway.com/MacArthur Study Bible note:

9:28 to bear the sins of many. See note on Is. 53:12 (cf. 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Pet. 2:24). eagerly wait. See note on Phil. 3:20. second time. On the Day of Atonement, the people eagerly waited for the High-Priest to come back out of the Holy of Holies. When he appeared, they knew that the sacrifice on their behalf had been accepted by God. In the same way, when Christ appears at His second coming, it will be confirmation that the Father has been fully satisfied with the Son’s sacrifice on behalf of believers. At that point salvation will be consummated (cf. 1 Pet. 1:3–5). apart from sin. See notes on 2:17, 18; 4:15. This phrase testifies to the completed work of Christ in removing sins by His sacrifice at His first coming. No such burden will be upon Him in His second coming.

The Day Of Atonement – Fulfilled In Christ – The Substitutionary Sacrifice By Christ – Romans 11:26

Romans 11:26 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

26 And so all Israel shall be saved, as it is written: “There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

BibleGateway.com/MacArthur Study Bible note:

11:26 all Israel. All the elect Jewish people alive at the end of the Tribulation, not the believing remnant of Jews within the church during this church age (see notes on vv. 5, 17). Since the remnant has already embraced the truth of the gospel (see note on v. 25), it could not be in view here, since it no longer needs the salvation this verse promises. The Deliverer will come out of Zion. See Pss. 14:7; 53:6; Is. 46:13. The Lord Jesus Christ’s millennial rule will be associated with Mt. Zion (see notes on Ps. 110:2; Heb. 12:22). Zion. See note on 9:33.

Psalm 14:7 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When the Lord bringeth back His people from captivity, Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad.

Isaiah 46:13 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

13 I bring near My righteousness; it shall not be far off, and My salvation shall not tarry; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel My glory.

Yom in Hebrew means “day.” Kipporah in Hebrew means “to cover.” Yom Kippur, which is also known as The Day Of Atonement, is the highest of the Jewish holy days. Ever since the beginning of Rosh Hashanah (October 2), Jews around the world have been preparing themselves for Yom Kippur. During this ten-day period of time, Jews have been involved in a practice that is known as Teshuvah, which involves repentance. Such repentance involves personal relationships, and relationships with God. Tashlich is also a matter of practice, which relates to the teaching of Micah 7:19, “He will again have compassion on us, and will subdue our iniquities. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.” Jews will say prayers and cast bread, or other items of food, upon a body of water. I think that all of us have heard of the saying, “cast you bread upon the waters.” During these “Ten Days Of Awe,” (from the beginning of Rosh Hashanah until the end of Yom Kippur) also known as “Ten Days Of Repentance,” Jews are trusting that they will be found worthy of having their names written in a “heavenly book of life,” whereby they will have one more year of life. A cordial greeting that Jews have for other Jews is, Leshanah tovah tikateiv veteichateim: (lit: “may you be inscribed and sealed for a good year”); this is a traditional greeting on the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah).

The following article that discusses the Jewish Feast of Yom Kippur, is provided by ReformJudaism.org. This ministry is a Jewish ministry, as opposed to being a Messianic Jewish ministry.

Yom Kippur means “Day of Atonement” and refers to the annual Jewish observance of fasting, prayer and repentance. Part of the High Holy Days, which also includes Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur is considered to be the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. In three separate passages in the Torah, the Jewish people are told, “the tenth day of the seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It shall be a sacred occasion for you: You shall practice self-denial.”(Leviticus 23:27). Fasting is seen as fulfilling this biblical commandment. The Yom Kippur fast also enables us to put aside our physical desires to concentrate on our spiritual needs through prayer, repentance and self-improvement.

Yom Kippur is the moment in Jewish time when we dedicate our mind, body, and soul to reconciliation with God, our fellow human beings, and ourselves. We are commanded to turn to those whom we have wronged first, acknowledging our sins and the pain we might have caused. At the same time, we must be willing to forgive and to let go of certain offenses and the feelings of resentment they provoked in us. On this journey we are both seekers and givers of pardon. Only then can we turn to God and ask for forgiveness: “And for all these, God of forgiveness, forgive us, pardon us, and grant us atonement.”

Comments by this writer:

The Day Of Atonement dealt with “covering one’s sin,” or making atonement, or covering” sin. See Leviticus 17:11.

Leviticus 17:11 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

The Romans destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D., which prevented future animal sacrifices from taking place. Because animal sacrifices could no longer take place, there was no way for the totality of the Law to be followed. (James 2:10).

10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend on one point, he is guilty of all.

Leviticus 16 goes into great detail of the Day Of Atonement. vs 1-5 (Preparation of the High Priest); vs 6-10 (Identification of the Sacrifices); vs 11-14 (Atonement for the Priest); vs 15-19 (Atonement for the Tabernacle); vs 20-28 (Atonement for the People); vs 29-34 (Purpose for the Day Of Atonement).

Whereas the annual Day of Atonement showed that God would cover sins, the blood sacrifice of Jesus removes sins from those who are born again. The blood of Jesus does not cover, or remove, the sins of anyone who has not been born again. Consider the following verses that discuss the removal of sin through Christ.

John 1:29 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) – Yeshua Jesus removes sin; He does not cover it.

29 The next day John saw Jesus coming unto him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world!

John 3:16 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) – Anyone who has a belief, or trust, in Yeshua Jesus as Savior and Lord, “has” everlasting life.

16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:17 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) – There is no choosing of God for anyone to be condemned to Hell.

17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

John 3:18 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) Belief in Yesus Jesus versus unbelief: The result is that of not being condemned to Hell, as opposed to being condemned to Hell.

18 “He that believeth in Him is not condemned; but He that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Romans 8:1 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) Those who are “in Christ” (i.e., born again) are not condemned to Hell. Their lives are influenced by the inner Presence of God’s Holy Spirit, Who dwells within the Spirit of every born again believer in Christ.

1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

To say that someone is “in Christ” is to say that such a person’s spirit literally dwells within the Spirit of Christ, God The Son, Yeshua Jesus. That person’s spirit also dwells within the Spirit of God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. At the same time, the Spirit of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, dwells within the spirits of everyone who has ever been born again. To continue that thought, every born again believer in Christ has dwelling within their spirit, the spirit of every other person, who has ever been born again.

John 14:8-11 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) (The following verses show the indwelling of God the Son in God the Father, and that Yeshua Jesus “is” God.)

8 Philip said unto Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.”
9 Jesus said unto him, “Have I been so long a time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip? He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself; but the Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works.
11 Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me; or else believe Me for the very works’ sake.

John 14:16-17 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) (The following verses show that “The Helper,” Who is the Holy Spirit, will come into the spirit of every born again believer in Christ, and will remain…forever.)

16 And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever”
17 even the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him. But ye know Him, for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

John 14:20 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) (The following verse shows that the Spirit of Jesus, God the Son, dwells within the Spirit of God the Father; that the spirit of the believer dwells in the Spirit of Jesus, God the Son; that the Spirit of Jesus, God the Son, dwells within the spirit of the believer in Christ.)

20 At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

John 14:26 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) (The following verse shows that the Holy Spirit, who dwells within the spirit of every born again believer, will teach born again believers the things that Jesus personally taught His disciples when He was with them.)

26 But the Comforter, who is the Holy Ghost whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 16:8 New King James Version (NKJV) (The following verse shows the teaching of the Holy Spirit which will flow through every born again believer in Christ to unbelievers.)

8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

John 1:9 King James 2000 Bible (This verse shows that the light of Christ calls/invites everyone to Him, through the work of the Holy Spirit.)

9 That was the true Light, that lights every man that comes into the world.

1 Corinthians 2:14 New Living Translation (NLT) (The following verse shows that anyone who has not been born again has no understanding of spiritual matters.)

The Day Of Atonement was fulfilled in Jesus, through His substitutionary death, per 2 Corinthians 5:21. Notice that Yeshua Jesus did not become a sinner; instead, he became “sin” so that He could pay “the sin debt” for those who would know Him as Savior and Lord. Notice that as born again believers in Christ, our spirits become as righteous as the Spirit of God.

21 “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

5:21 An important summary of the gospel message. The verse explains how God imputed our sin to Christ. God as judge assigned the responsibility of our sin to Christ, making it possible for Him to be punished justly for that sin (Is. 53:6; 1 Pet. 2:24). The verse shows that Christ was our substitute, accepting the penalty of sin in our place. See “The Sinlessness of Jesus” at Heb. 4:15.

5:21 We might become the righteousness of God. Not only did God impute our sin to Christ, He also imputed Christ’s perfect righteousness to us (that is, He counted it as belonging to us). This imputation is the basis for the progressive realization of God’s righteousness in our moral character. Our thoughts and deeds are sanctified in increasing measure until we receive perfect righteousness in heaven.

In summary:

Yom Kippur / יום כפור
Yom Kippur (Hebrew: יוֹם כִּפּוּר or יום הכיפורים), Also known as Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the year for the Jews. Its central themes are atonement and repentance. Jews traditionally observe this holy day with a 25-hour period of fasting and intensive prayer, often spending most of the day in synagogue services. Yom Kippur completes the annual period known in Judaism as the High Holy Days (or sometimes “the Days of Awe”). The fulfillment of Yom Kippur is found in Yeshua Jesus.

Rosh Hashanah And The Rapture Of The Church Part 2

Rosh Hashanah And The Rapture Of The Church Part 3

Rosh Hashanah will begin at Sundown on Sunday, October 2, and will continue thru Sundown on Tuesday, October 4. The meaning of the feast is “Head of the Year,” and is the first day of the Jewish year (5777), and is the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, as celebrated by Jews. The central observance of Rosh Hashanah is the blowing of the shofar, the ram’s horn, which also represents the trumpet blast of a people’s coronation of their king. Altogether, there will be 100 shofar blasts over the course of a Rosh Hashanah service. Consider the mental depression that many people experience during the New Year’s Day of January 1, as opposed to the celebration of the New Year that Jews celebrate. Rosh Hashanah is described in Leviticus 23:23-25, Numbers 29:1-6; its fulfillment is in Christ and is shown in Matthew 24:31, which is known as Israel’s “Regathering By Christ.” That regathering by Christ occurs following His second coming to physically stand on earth on the mount of Olives (See Matthew 24:29-30, Zechariah 14:1-5, and Revelation 19:11-21, which discuss the second coming of Christ to earth at the Battle Of Armageddon.)

The Feast of Trumpets

(Leviticus 23:23-25) KJV

23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. 25 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

The Feast of Trumpets

(Numbers 29:1-6) KJV

1 And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you. 2 And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the LORD; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year without blemish: 3 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram, 4 And one tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs: 5 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you: 6 Beside the burnt offering of the month, and his meat offering, and the daily burnt offering, and his meat offering, and their drink offerings, according unto their manner, for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.

The Regathering Of Israel By Christ

(Matthew 24:31) KJV)

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

The Second Coming of Christ-After The Tribulation (The catching up of the church will have already taken place: John 14:2-3; 1 Corinthians 15:50-53; 1 Thessalonaians 4:13-18)

(Matthew 24:29-30) KJV

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

The Second Coming Of Christ – To Battle The Nations/Gentiles Attacking Jerusalem

(Zechariah 14:1-5) KJV

1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

The Second Coming Of Christ – To Battle The Nations/Gentiles Attacking Jerusalem

(Revelation 19:11-21) KJV

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Defeat of the Beast and False Prophet

17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Nations/Gentiles Preparing For Battle Of Armageddon

(Revelation 16:13-20) KJV

13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

The Seventh Bowl of Wrath/The Cities Of The Nations Fall

17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. 19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Order of events:

The Catching Up Of The Church: Christ takes His believers to Heaven to the Beyma Judgment/Judgment Seat Of Christ, where they receive rewards (2 Corinthians 5:10). As the Bride of Christ, those caught up await the Marriage of The Lamb (Revelation 19:6-10), which precedes their return to Earth with Christ (Revelation 19:14; Zechariah 14:5). The church is caught up as the bride of Christ; never again is the name, “Church,” seen in Scripture. Consider how the raptured saints are identified: “…and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with Thee”(Zachariah 14:5). “And the armies which were in Heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, clean and white” (Revelation 19:14). Those who rule and reign with Christ for 1000 years (millennium) are called priests of God and of Christ (Revelation 20:1-6).

The Tribulation: Follows the catching up of the church.

The Second Coming Of Christ: Christ returns to earth, where He stands on the Mount of Olives (The caught up believers accompany Christ).
