Mysteries of the Everlasting Kingdom Book Series
Christians believe they have a “New Covenant”, and for all practical purposes, they consider what they think was named the “Old Testament”—the first 3/4 of the Bible to be OBSOLETE. Judaism rejects what is commonly misnamed the “New Testament”—the last 1/4 of the Bible OUTRIGHT. This site upholds the continuity and relevance of all four quarters of the Bible! The Bible essentially begins with a man named Abraham and ends with his 12 Israelite grandson’s names inscribed on the 12 gateways to the coming New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:12). You can only enter thru an Israelite gate! Don’t take scissors to the roadmap to eternal life. I challenge you to consider every Biblical reference to the New Covenant starting here, because it’s been greatly misrepresented! Truths are learned one at a time. Never accept a packaged deal! (1 Thessalonians 5:21)
Please consider the original John 3:16.
What is The Testimony of Yeshua (Jesus)? When John finished writing the last book of the Bible, did he call it the New Testament? I refer to the Messianic Texts as “The Testimony of Yeshua” because the envoy (apostle) John called it that six times! He used “the Testimony of Yeshua Messiah” twice to describe the collective words of Yeshua in Revelation 1:2 & 9, where he differentiated it from the Word of Elohim (Aloha in Aramaic). Thereafter, he simply called it the Testimony of Yeshua (four times). He was the last surviving envoy, and overwhelming evidence indicates that he finished “canonizing” “the Testimony of Yeshua”, rather than the Catholic Church. See Ernest Martin’s Restoring the original Bible.
Prior to Tertullian’s new terminology, there was no concept of the Tanak (Hebrew Scriptures) being obsolete or “Old”, and Yeshua’s Testimony was never considered any sort of a replacement. And there certainly were no anti Semitic overtones. Yeshua’s followers were considered a sect of the Jews!
The Testimony of Yeshua was prophesied to be written even tho the Disciples themselves didn’t realize it until decades after Yeshua had died. (Isaiah 8:15-16, 20) ...Continued HERE.

The Word of Elohim, Gabriel Bible (See the INTRODUCTION) is a Modern English copyright free version of the Tanak (“OT”) with the (“NT”) derived from the Aramaic Peshitta, for people who don’t want to put up with the severe legal restrictions when publishing Biblical texts from copyright restricted translations. Because the Gabriel Bible is printed in regular book paper rather than Bible paper or onionskin paper it is perhaps 4 times thicker than regular Bibles. Hence, several volumes.
NOTICE: Several pages on this site have been updated to reflect end-time chronology based on countdowns from Yeshua’s crucifixion in what now appears to be 32 AD. For a few years, I switched to basing prophecies counting two millennial days (2,000 years) from His ministry beginning in 29 AD + 2000 years, rather than His crucifixion (as I had since 1998).

Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek? Download
The easiest point to consider when questioning whether the so called “New Testament” was written in Aramaic or Greek is to consider the man who was by far the most notable historian of the era—the Jewish priest Flavius Josephus of Jerusalem (AD 37/38—100 AD). He was used by the Romans as the best translator available in the region, and even he did not know Greek! He said that the Jews would rather have had their children eat swine than to speak Greek! His massive complete works, found here, were originally written in Aramaic. It was only after the Romans began destroying every document written in Aramaic (like anything written by the apostles) that he traveled to Rome to learn Greek! Not one Aramaic copy of his history survived. So would Yeshua’s (Jesus’s) followers, already “credibility challenged” have written their accounts about Him to the then exclusively Jewish audience in the detested language of their captors? Other than Paul, a Roman, did many Jews even know Greek?
As soon as I read the online book, Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek? I came to believe that the original “New Texts” were really written in what is called the Aramaic Peshitta and then later translated into Greek. But I could not find a modern English version of the Aramaic Peshitta online other than the very copyright restricted 1933 Lamsa (unless there is a really obscure one). So I immediately decided to update Murdock’s 1851 public domain translation. At first I simply wanted to word process out the obsolete English wording and phraseology. I was able to reasonably modernize the English of Murdock’s version very quickly by word processing it in 2007. This was available online immediately. But then I decided to footnote every noteworthy difference between the Greek Majority texts and the Aramaic Peshitta, (tho I compared about twenty modern Greek to English translations as well). I compared every word of the Murdock and much of the Etheridge Aramaic translations with many Greek based translations. I also compared the Younan Aramaic Interlinear and various Greek lexicons and interlinears. In this way I was able to consider the insights of literally hundreds of translators, getting insights from the two ancient contemporary languages, not just one or the other, like every other version. The focus of the 2011 version was on making it an extremely easy version to understand, without any compromise in the message, more readable than a paraphrase as often as possible, tho technical nuances are often skewed in some translations for the sake of easy reading. My objective was to make the Testimony of Yeshua, (volume of the Gabriel Bible) the most technically accurate version possible. Doing all this took 4 years—over 5,000 hours. The Testimony of Yeshua INTRODUCTION explains why I went to all of this effort. The Testimony was primarily written in Aloha [meaning ‘God’ in Aramaic] Oregon! (For a crash course on the language Yeshua spoke, read this.) My eight books will always be available online for free, as noted below, as long as I’m alive and able. Shlomo, Lon
When I first began studying the Aramaic to English translations and comparing them with Greek lexicons, I thought that there would be many startling differences compared to the Greek texts and major new insights, and there are indeed some fascinating differences. But the most surprising thing I found was the number of nuances lost by English translators going from the Greek texts to the English translations! While The Testimony of Yeshua is based on both Murdock’s and Etheridge’s Peshitta, I compared every verse with The Online Bible Greek Lexicon (and made 2,500 live links to The New Testament Greek Lexicon, because there are no comparably thoro [I hate ughs] Aramaic lexicons, just one word equivalents, and none yet without copyright restrictions, so far as I know. The online Greek lexicons are incredibly powerful tools. They use the universally accepted Strong’s numbers to locate definitions of “Biblical Greek” and Hebrew words, but they are far more “exhaustive” than the original 19th century Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance, now online, that I used for decades. This accounts for most of the live links in The Gabriel Bible text. These key words make a trail that is very easy to follow, and you can see why the nuances differ so much when you follow along in another version. Using Strong’s numbers is somewhat like coloring by the numbers—it really doesn’t take a linguist to paint a word picture. (You might also consider when the Hebrew people lost the Hebrew language.)
The ONLY Man Alive Who Could Be THE Antichrist [With Proof]—Prince of Whales/King Charles
Since very early in this century I have promoted the book, “The Antichrist and a Cup of Tea” on my website. Since then Tim Cohen has only built on his amazing documentation. The video linked above of the Beast is astonishing, and this January 2023 video) is absolutely amazing. It would seem to me that even a hardened skeptic who watches this would be amazed at the proof of who the most powerful man in the world is, and has been! The updated edition of “The Antichrist”, after 25 years is due out any time. Also check out the king’s coronation, and how it fits into the end-time scenario, and note his call for worldwide allegiance!
Here’s another link about King Charles: Is King Charles III the Antichrist? Years ago I was amazed by the book: “The Antichrist and a Cup of Tea”—Download that book here! Now that there is a new King this week, I went looking again for updated information from the last quarter century! The first link serves as a lengthy “book review”. It also provides immense support to the nightmare!
Isaiah 13:19 Babylon, the jewel of the kingdoms, the splendor and pride of the Chaldeans [southern Babylonia] will be destroyed by Elohim like Sodom and Gomorrah.
Jeremiah 50:40 As when Elohim overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring cities,” declares Yehovah, “ no one will live there, not even a temporarily resident.
While America is the resurrected Babylonian Empire in prophecy, I (perhaps alone) see the British (Ephraim) as being like a modern Tyre (Isaiah 23): like Tyre, but Ephraim will bring out their children to be killed.”— Hosea 9:13.
This link differs somewhat from the several Babylon articles below, in that the author believes that both Britain and America constitute the modern Babylon. It may have been translated into English by a computer program.—It’s so disappointing that the link demonstrates Bible prophecy in the making on one hand, yet promises fatal rhapsody with the other.
Isaiah 23 describes end-time Tyre as a nation of “seafarers” (verse 2) who sailed the seven seas and had recently been “the marketplace for the nations” (verse 3), who “colonized distant lands” (verse 7). Zechariah 9 also describes Tyre at the end of this age. The USA (Manasseh) is much like brother Tyre (Ephraim/England): Ezekiel 27. Did you know the leader of Tyre was in the garden of Eden: Ezekiel 28!
The British Empire Under King Charles Will Rise Again!
Isaiah 23:15-17 A time is coming when Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, like the reign of a MONARCH. At the end of seventy years, Tyre will become like the prostitute in the song: 16 “Take a harp and 'strut' around the city, you forgotten whore. Play a sweet melody. Sing many songs, so you’ll be remembered.” 17 Then when the seventy years have elapsed, Yehovah will revive Tyre, and she’ll return to her hire as a prostitute with ALL the kingdoms on the face of the earth.
The prophets said that Israel and Judah are like prostitutes, whose patrons cover the world: Jeremiah 2:20,23-24; Ezekiel 16:15-16; Hosea 2:1-5). Now the Israelite descended nations are like the Daughters of Babylon.
Maybe you think that Ephraim and Manasseh were lost to history or absorbed into Judah? Better check this “wolves living among lambs” millennial chapter: Isaiah 11:11-16
Queen Elizabeth was the only monarch in world history to rule over an empire or former Empire for 70 years. Why is this prophetically significant?
Only one nation in the history of the world ever agreed to the covenantal blessings (and curses) of Deuteronomy 28, prefaced in chapter 27. Ancient Israel, the ancestors of America and the British Commonwealth Nations (among others), suffered all of these curses. While these curses are similar to the curses preceeding the end time Israelite nations, there are significant variations. Many modern Israelite nations will be cursed as daughters of Babylon. I found this link while trying to find something similar directly from Yair Davidiy.

The Reemergence of Assyria? For over 50 years, I believed the theory that Germany would be the head of an Assyrian-led Beast in Europe. I even took German lessons in high school in 1968 in preparation! But that is not a viable scenario! As of 12/4/22, the “German military only has supplies for two days of intense fighting”. And Russia can shut down their entire industry immediately by shutting off their oil tap! Is there any doubt about who has wanted to destroy Israel since 1948? The bold link and Isaiah 10 describe what is about to be played out very soon between the ancient homeland of Assyria and Israel:Isaiah 10:5-25 “It will be dreadful for Assyria, the rod of My anger, the one handling the staff of My wrath! 6 I’ll send him [Assyria] against [Israel], a 'secular' [profane, heathen, apostate] nation, against the people who anger Me. I’ll give him the command to take loot and to seize plunder and trample them down like mud in the streets...11 so shouldn’t I deal with Jerusalem and her images the way I dealt with Samaria and her idols?’” 12 When Yehovah has finished all His work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, He’ll punish the king of Assyria for his pride and his arrogant 'countenance'... 20 At that time the remainder of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will never again rely on the one who struck them, but will truly rely on the Word* of Yehovah, the Cherished [holy] One of Israel. 21 'Survivors' will return, 'survivors' of Jacob to the Mighty Elohim. 22 Tho your people Israel are like grains of sand on the seashore, only a few survivors will return. Righteous destruction is necessary! 23 The Sovereign, Yehovih [a variant spelling] the Commander has decreed complete destruction on the 'region'. 24 So the Sovereign, Yehovih [variant spelling] the Commander, says: “My people who live in Zion, don’t be afraid of the Assyrian who beats you with a rod and raises his staff against you the way Egypt did. 25 In just a little while My anger against you will be finished, and My anger will turn to their destruction.”
A considerable number of online writers (including the bold link above) equate Assyria with the Antichrist, noting the many similarities between the Koran and events such as the seven year long prophecies in Daniel and Revelation. But prophecies deliberately connecting Hebrew Tanak (“Old Testament”) characters like Moses with the Koran, and making the Muslin Jesus subservient to Allah doesn’t seem to me to make for an Antichrist (literally instead of Christ) or perhaps “one who, assuming the guise of Christ, opposes Christ”. I presently don’t agree with any of today’s popular theories of who the King of the North is. A 1992 article by J. PAUL TANNER examines all of the popular views, and supplies some missing logic.

TAKE MY BIBLE QUIZ!
Mysteries of the Everlasting Kingdom
This is the first book of my series topical Bible commentaries. Much of this website is contained in four printed commentaries. The lead chapter of the first book in the series that takes on the original title is called “Israel’s Seven Apocalyptic Days”. It explains how the seven annual Feast and Festival days (there is a difference) all have a strong End Time significance. Those seven days will be more relevant in the near future than in any time since Moses revealed them! That significance will all occur within the Jubilee year 6000; (4000 being the year Yeshua (Jesus) was crucified.Chapter 1: Israel’s 7 Apocalyptic Days The Biblical Feast Days picture the last eight years of this present age, with particular emphasis on seven special days in “My Year of Redemption” (Isaiah 63:4)! The apostles never said that the Biblical Feasts were “dusty archives of events long forgotten”! Rather, they are prophetic signs of “things to come!” The modern Israelite nations have almost entirely lost the knowledge of not only their Israelite heritage, but also the truth that we were to have an “everlasting covenant” with Elohim (God). The Annual Days explain why it is that only the descendants of the twelve Israelite tribes will suffer the prophesied “Great Tribulation”. The penalty for not keeping our covenant will be inflicted upon the modern Israel tribes by the hands of the people who we Israelites were commissioned to teach righteousness to!
Chapter 2: Did Yeshua’s Supper (the “Lord’s Supper”) Replace the Passover? Did Yeshua abolish the Passover during His last supper before He suffered, or did He add tremendous additional solemnity to an already important historical ceremony? Had He intended to cause a single jot or tittle to pass from the Torah (Law) wouldn’t He have said so? The Messiah’s Supper is spiritual Preparation for the Passover! Tragically, most Christians “prepare” for various aberrations of the Passover, but they don’t actually observe the Passover. Judaism, on the other hand, observes the Passover, but is not spiritually prepared!
Chapter 3: “Messiah (Christ) Our Passover”? That Christians should celebrate the Passover should be common knowledge, yet that knowledge is quite rare, and of those with that understanding, most have been misled when it comes to the chronology. Even fewer consider what Passover is! When and how should we celebrate it? While translators and teachers bear much of the blame, anyone with a good lexicon simply does not have much of an excuse for following blind guides—provided the 'special' [holy] spirit fans the flames of their curiosity.
Chapter 4: Pentecost (Shavuot) in Prophecy Was the primary purpose of the Day of Pentecost fulfilled on the day when the 'special' spirit breathed new life into the Assembly of Disciples that Yeshua promised would be rebuilt, or does Pentecost have more to do with events taking place “BEFORE the coming of the great and awesome DAY OF YEHOVAH” ['Jehovah'] This chapter elaborates on the prophesied events necessary to fulfill Pentecosts’ elusive symbolic significance.
Chapter 5: Festivals and Feasts—There is a Difference! Anciently, it was crucial to attend these Feasts of Elohim (God): Unleavened Bread, Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles. Are they relevant today? Should these three “feasts” still be “pilgrimage feasts”. Does Elohim expect us to keep these appointments? Should we observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the same manner as we do the Feast of Tabernacles—from beginning to end? What about those select “Annual Appointments” from Leviticus 23? Some of them fall on days within these three feasts of Elohim (God) What is the distinction between an “Assembly Day” and a “Feast Day”? What is required to celebrate a “Feast” of Elohim?
Chapter 6: Biblical Feasts And Equinoxes—Is there A Connection? The Jews have never relied on equinoxes as factors in determining their New Years/Appointed Times, but the vast majority of pagan calendars are entirely based on them. So why do most of the “calendar groups” base their calendars on equinoxes? Did Elohim (God) express an “opinion” in the Scriptures on how we should determine His Appointments? This chapter explains the paradox. See why agriculture trumps mathematics.
Chapter 7: The Biblical “Feasts” of Hebrews 6! Does the book of Hebrews, directed to a Jewish audience, use “encoded language” to tie the “preliminary principles of the Messiah” directly to Israel’s seven annual Appointments? This chapter explores the likelihood, using a familiar apostolic text, and concludes that the Annual Appointments actually epitomize the ultimate objectives of true cherished ones (saints)!
Chapter 8 “The First Day of The Week”: The Countdown to Pentecost! You are about to see that “the first day of the week” is really all about counting Sabbaths to Pentecost! This is one issue that absolutely requires looking at a few Greek terms to discern the truth—due to “the traditions of men” influencing the translators. Slight of hand is exposed here. Who is doing the hiding, and what is their motive? Grab onto your lexicon. For some readers this will be a rough ride!
Chapter 9: When Are the Biblical Feasts and Festivals—Really? I put off looking into this for over a quarter of a century after I said to myself: “I need to look into this”. Finally, I’ve discovered that Yehovah has a green calendar. No calculations are necessary! Hopefully you are faster.
The Great Judgment Day
Volume 2, The Great Judgment Day deals with all of the Bible prophecies of the Year of Redemption, that Great Jubilee Year, other than the prophecies directly associated with the Feast and Festival days (there is a difference). During the year of Final Judgment, everyone who has ever died up until that point will be judged, “Don’t be amazed at this, because the time is coming when everyone in their graves will hear His voice 29 and come out, those who have done good things to the Resurrection of Life, and those who have committed evil to the Resurrection of Condemnation.” (John 5:28-29). But for the living, the survivors of the Great Tribulation, it will be the Jubilee year, when all 12 tribes of Israel (not just Jews) will return to the ancient land of Israel in a Second Exodus! The rest of the world will be on a fast learning curve when they “notice” that all of their armies have been destroyed! This year is none other than the Day of Yehovah (“the Lord”): a Year of Payback (retribution) settling the dispute over Zion” (Isaiah 34:8). Read The Great Judgment Day online free, or get my ebook from Lulu, or buy paperback from Lulu. Lulu offers discounts on all of their books very frequently. Check HERE
Chapter 10: Judgment Day—The Last Day Most Christians believe that Judgment Day occurs for you the moment that you die. But no Christian “has ascended into heaven” (John 3:13). A minority believes that Judgment Day occurs after “the millennium” for the “firstfruits” (Revelation 14:4), but these “ 144,000” are actually flesh and blood survivors of the Great Tribulation, as are the Great Multitude! (Revelation 7:14). So when is Judgment Day?
Chapter 11: “The Great and Awesome Day of Yehovah (the Lord)” (Joel 2:31) This is the most pervasive topic in the Scriptures. Nothing else comes close in terms of the sheer volume of Scripture devoted to it. Huge segments of the Major and Minor Prophets are devoted to it. In addition, most of Yeshua’s (Jesus’) parables directly pertain to this time, and most of the book of Revelation is devoted to it. The emphasis that Yehovah (God) placed on this event, along with the sheer VOLUME of Scriptures, silently SCREAMS for understanding. Find out what this “Day” is all about now, before it’s too late—dont learn the hard way!
Chapter 12: Are the “Unsaved” Lost? What will Abba do with all of the “good” people who have died, but didn’t know Yeshua (Jesus)? The Bible teaches us that there is going to be a Judgment Day. We almost innately believe that the wicked (whoever they are) will be separated from the good (presumably us). But can we know exactly who will be given eternal life, when, and who will be cast into Gehenna, and why? The Biblical explanation for Judgment Day has been horribly misrepresented. You can be pretty certain where your “unconverted” friends and relatives will end up, and the verdict can be much different than you have been told—and much better!
Chapter 12 Addendum: The Fate of the Wicked Is there hope for the wicked? Most “Bible believing” people assume that the wicked are every last person who is not a Christian, and that the “wicked” dead are burning in “hell”—now and forever. Others imagine that at least some of the wicked can escape the Lake of Fire by serving time in “purgatory” first. Still others suppose that, in the resurrection, “unconverted” people will have another opportunity to get to know Elohim (God), and with this knowledge, they will hopefully decide to become “good”, so as to avoid the flames of “hell”. What does the Bible say?
Chapter 13: What is “The Hour of Trial”? As explained in The Time After Jacob’s Trouble, Israel is the focal point of the Great Tribulation. The rest of the world will prosper under the supernatural power of the Beast, in part by thoroly pillaging the Israelite nations. After this, Elohim (God) will punish those people who were involved in the end time holocaust against the “twelve tribes” (now nations) of Israel. So what could this “Hour of Trial” be that affects the “whole world”—that is everyone who lives “on the earth”, at the same time?
Chapter 14: The Time After Jacob’s Trouble Many expect a “rapture”; others expect a place of safety for the Church. The Exodus is about to be repeated! The Two Witnesses’ message will spearhead this Second Exodus! Can one suffer thru the Great Tribulation, yet not be spared from the Day of Yehovah (the Lord)? Can you be spared both? Is there a “place of safety” for the remnant of ALL TWELVE TRIBES of Israel during and after the Tribulation? This chapter addresses the “safety” issue by raising questions that you probably never thought to ask; spanning hundreds of Bible verses that have a direct bearing on your future. Will you escape the Tribulation entirely? “... because on Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, there will be those who escape, as Yehovah has said, among the remnant—those who Yehovah calls.” (Joel 2:32)
Chapter 15: Jubilee 2032/2033 AD?! Will Yeshua (Jesus) return during the next Jubilee year, fulfilling numerous symbolisms associated with the year of release? Yeshua presented a very unusual “mission statement” at the very beginning of His ministry. Immediately after the account of His baptism and the account of Satan tempting Him, is a reference to some of His first recorded words. These words have JUBILEE stamped all over them! This chapter provides multiple indications that the next Jubilee will literally shake the earth. The prophesied countdowns apparently all converge at that momentous point.
Chapter 16: Will the Universe Be Destroyed? Many believe in a future “Big Bang Theory” concerning the physical universe, believing that it will be blown up after the “Last Day”, that they presume to be after the thousand years. But their Last Day is far different than the one in Daniel and Revelation.
The Mysteries of New Jerusalem
Volume Three, Mysteries of the Everlasting Kingdom, deals with some astonishing information about the coming New Jerusalem and how it will affect you! You aren’t going to heaven, because heaven is coming to us! (Revelation 21:2-5)
Where will you be during the Great Tribulation? A great many people assume that “the church” will be spared the anguish of the Great Tribulation by being “raptured” into heaven. Others believe that “the church” will flee to a place of safety on earth, such as Petra in Jordan, but not stay in “a place” for the full 1,260 days, opting to spend a year in “the third heaven”. Others plan to be in a place on earth for the entire time. Some hope that the cherished ones (saints) will be protected in their homes as the nations around them are being decimated. Consider the following Texts and ask yourself if a Place of Safety is to be “above” us. Read Mysteries of the New Jerusalem online free.
Chapter 17: The Mysteries of New Jerusalem Since antiquity, almost the entire ancient world has believed in “going to heaven”. The notion was so prevalent that “orthodox Christianity” adopted it from the pagan world, rather early on, to keep the natives happy. Part 1 of this chapter focuses considerable attention on key verses from the book of Revelation, concerning New Jerusalem, that were—and continue to be used—to justify “going to heaven”. A simple reading of the text reveals that they say NOTHING of the kind! However, see what the Bible does say about “New Jerusalem”! (As a supplement to this chapter, the history of the “Christian” adoption of a pagan heaven is quite well explained here, offsite.)
Chapter 18 Preview: New Jerusalem—A Place of Safety! Where will you be during the Great Tribulation? A great many people assume that “the church” will be spared the anguish of the Great Tribulation by being “raptured” into heaven. Others believe that “the church” will flee to “a place” of safety on earth, such as Petra in Jordan, but not stay in a place for the full 1,260 days, opting to spend a year in “the third heaven”. Others plan to be in a place on earth for the entire time. Some hope that the cherished ones will be protected in their homes, as the nations around them are being decimated. I will mention the wilderness again later. Consider the following Biblical texts involved, and ask yourself if a Place of Safety is to be “above” us.
Chapter 19: The “New Covenant”—Coming Soon! What is the “New Covenant”? Is the “New Covenant” already in effect, or are we under the “Old Covenant”. Who did Yehovah intend to make this Covenant (or contract) with? The knee jerk response to this question is easy, it’s the Church—but is it? Is it possible that Elohim (God) promised this Covenant to another group of people? There is a great deal of misinformation circulating among today’s churches concerning what this Covenant really is. There is only one chapter in the Hebrew Scriptures that specifically mentions the New Covenant, using this terminology. However, that single chapter, viewed as a curiosity or spiritualized away by almost all of Christianity, is the foundational prophecy that all of the references in the Testimony of Yeshua (the “New Testament”), concerning the topic, are based. Part 3 expounds on the 15 clues, explaining exactly who the Great Multitude in Revelation 7 is.
Chapter 20: The Seven “Churches” of Revelation Many opinions exist concerning what the “seven churches” of Revelation represent. Some claim that they represent seven “attitudes” present during the entire “Church Age”. Others claim that they are seven consecutive historic periods or “eras” of “God’s Church”. Does the internal evidence in the Book of Revelation, concerning these “seven churches”, support these interpretations? Could they actually be seven Assemblies of people comprising the entire Congregation of Elohim’s (God) people alive today? Was the Book of Revelation meant to be understood? I submit that understanding the nature of the “seven churches” will become a life and death matter during the coming years.
Chapter 21: “A Famine of Hearing the Words of Yehovah (the Lord)” Many claim that a spiritual famine is coming. Some claim that it has been here for a while. Too many claim that they speak the words of ‘the Lord’ and that they provide a spiritual feast. In this regard “many who are first will be last; and the last first.” In this chapter we’ll check to see what the Prophet Amos had to say about the famine—when it would start, when it would end, and who is going to go hungry.
Chapter 22: Ezekiel’s Warning to Israel & Judah & Gog & Magog The reality of Ezekiel’s warnings to the twelve nations of Israel (and Gog & Magog) will come as a complete shock to the millions of survivors of the Tribulation as they learn that the captivity and eventual escape from captivity of the millions of primarily English speaking people of the world is all recorded in extreme detail in their dust covered copies of the Scriptures that lie around as good luck charms. Our friends, those fortunate enough to survive will learn about these things when they are summonsed by Elohim (God) to the New Israel!
Chapter 23: Should We Move to Israel Now? Many people, particularly among those who fellowship with a Messianic group (like me, because the one I attend actually tolerates me, and hasn’t thrown me out yet) are teaching that we should be preparing to move (or moving to) Israel right now, and that major and wonderful prophecies are happening in Israel, and that Ezekiel 37:15’s two sticks are coming together right now. What does the Bible have to say about the timing and exactly who should go, and under what circumstances?
Chapter 24: Will Satan the Devil Die? Paul believed in “the King of Kings and Lord of Lords Who ALONE has immortality”. Is Satan immortal as well? God said to Satan: “You were the seal of perfection” and “You were in Eden”. He then proclaimed, in a way that only One knowing the end from the beginning could say: and and and “you will cease to exist forever.” This chapter explains probably every Bible verse relevant to the topic.
Chapter 25: “The Restoration of All Things” When is Yehovah (God) going to restore “all things”, and what exactly does the Bible mean by “all things”? The primary purpose for this chapter is to show that the time line for this event could be far sooner than many of you think!
Chapter 26: The Mysterious Seventy “Weeks” of Daniel Among the most important Scriptural prophecies, the one usually referred to as the “Seventy Weeks Prophecy” stands out. It is the “chief cornerstone”, so to speak, of Messianic prophecies because it establishes the time line of both the (so called) First and Second Comings of the Messiah. In fact, it is the only pre-“Messianic” text that calls the Messiah the “Messiah”; so technically, it is the only “Messianic” prophecy of old. The Daniel 9 prophecy is very specific. It pinpoints four exact “milestone” events, three of which were prophetic. For several centuries individuals have been able to approximate within a few years, the Messianic timetable. Some few have even been able to pinpoint the very years, but there is absolutely no consensus on how the details have been—and yes will be fulfilled.
Chapter 27: Population Bomb Takes Out Millennium! This is an examination of a mathematical quandary associated with the idyllic, yet oversimplified, view of the “millennium”. Many assume that everyone will have large families in the Everlasting Kingdom. Especially knowing that there will be an absence of premature death from war and disease. What size of population might we expect? Will utopian conditions precipitate some unexpected consequences? The numbers prove that an unknown factor is mandatory for everything to work out. Will colonization of space wait?
Missing Doctrines
Volume Four: Missing Doctrines (being updated now) covers important doctrinal issues that have apparently been ignored for the last nearly 2,000 years. Many of the most precious truths of the Bible have been systematically replaced with pious sounding sectarian fables! Missing Doctrines deals with issues that are not controversial—simply because most people don’t know enough about them for a controversy to arise. I’d like for that to change. This series of books is essentially a topical Bible commentary that runs quite counter to the teachings of traditional Christianity, which has been veering off course since the mid first century. The objective is to unravel as many of Yehovah’s secrets as possible. The Bereans had the right approach. With unfurled scrolls they challenged the prevailing assumptions—if not for others, at least for themselves. Read Missing Doctrines online free, or get the Ebook from Lulu, or buy the Paperback from Lulu.
I want to make a comment about my books. Quite a few key Bible quotes find themselves in several of the chapters of my books. There are two reasons for this. First, being key verses, they can often be used to clarify diverse concepts. But more importantly, since few people read many chapters from my books online (so far as I know) I want people to consider those key but often overlooked verses at least once in their life!
Chapter 28: Who is the Messiah’s Bride? This really should not be an issue. It should be readily apparent who she is—yet few people know! You have probably always heard that the marriage supper is for the Messiah and His Church. Could Revelation 21 actually be referring to a marriage that is thoroly described in the Hebrew Scriptures? Is there a connection between this jubilant time and the restoration of Israel? The bride’s identity is missing!
Chapter 29: “I and My Father are ONE” A controversy has raged for nearly two thousand years: “How can Yeshua (Jesus) be God” Many theories have been proposed over the centuries concerning the “nature” of Yeshua. These ideas are often at extreme variance with the Bible concerning His identity, and they are quite dangerous. Prophecy indicates that “heresy” (literally: sectarianism) would be an extreme problem. It is not just the cults that are a problem, tho they do provide very convenient “whipping boys” for more traditional deceivers. This sequel to “The Origin of Heresy” explains the “Nature of Elohim (God)” directly from the Bible, in a way that harmonizes the passages that may seem contradictory. Their nature is missing!
Chapter 30: Do You Know Father’s Name? Have you ever had a close friend whose name you didn’t know? How about a friend whose name you couldn’t pronounce? If His name were Tutankhamen, you might have somewhat of an excuse, but it is far simpler. While such a friend might overlook your ignorance, wouldn’t it at least be respectful of you to try to get it right? Fortunately, Elohim’s (God’s) real name is found in the oldest complete Hebrew Scriptures! So now you won’t necessarily have to use the generic term “God”, that can also apply to one of the many mythical gods. His name is missing!
Chapter 31: Constantine Wrote Matthew 28:19 Into Your Bible! Were you baptized contrary to Biblical teachings? A Roman Emperor insisted that Trinitarian wording be inserted into the Latin Vulgate Bible, as it was being written. This chapter explains how the fraudulent text crept into virtually every modern version of the Bible and has even eluded being discovered by sects that do not teach that Elohim (God) is a Trinity. The question becomes: Does it matter whose name you were baptized into? The true baptismal formula is missing!
Chapter 32: The Bible Never Mentions Sermons Quick! What was last week’s sermon about? Chances are you don’t remember, unless the speaker had gone from preachin’ to meddlin’. Were you asleep? We could revive the old “cattle prod” method of the Puritans, except that most people have learned to “sleep” with their eyes open! The Biblical approach to Sabbath Assemblies would keep you awake due to the dynamic participation! The masses (pun intended) have assumed that Elohim (God) wants a “one man show”, but the Bible provides a much different scenario. The Sabbath was set aside for a learning experience, and “it is the point in time when we should awaken from our sleep [ignorance], because our eternal Life is nearer to us than when we first became believers.” (Romans 13:11). Interactivity is missing!
Chapter 33: Our Father Demands Freedom of Speech! The prophets of Elohim (God) were murdered for boldly proclaiming the truths of Elohim. Yeshua (Jesus) was slain because He passionately spoke the words of His Father. Millions of martyrs have died rather than remain silent. Yet today, multitudes of people shackle themselves into darkened galleys (church) pews, repeatedly whispering the mantra: “ALL speak the same thing”. Yet lacking courage, FEW EVER “SPEAK”! In this small porthole in time—while freedom of speech prevails—why are so many people afraid to speak out in their own congregations, among their own friends, about their sincere personal convictions? When did apathy triumph over passion? Independent thought is missing and unwanted!
Chapter 34: Are Public Prayers Biblical? Should we be praying in front of groups of other people, or was prayer primarily meant to be from your lips to His ears? I really don’t see a shred of Biblical evidence supporting the practice, but there is a prohibition!
Chapter 35: Is Exclusivity “An Unpardonable Sin” Here is unmistakable Biblical proof that simply belonging to a “sect” is quite literally “heresy”! “Is Messiah Divided” into sects? Yeshua’s (Jesus’) harshest words were undeniably those directed toward the most obsessive religious ideology of His generation—the exclusivist sects. Why does sectarian “doctrine” so often make people arrogant? Why are there so many sectarian “ministries” And what is more important—stroking the egos of a hierarchy, or their acquisition of wealth and power? Yeshua charged that these “hypocrites” greatly love public praise, but have absolutely no concern for the spiritual well being of anyone!
Chapter 36: The Origin of Heresy This chapter briefly explains the common thread of ten “Christian heresies” as well as tracing the same teaching into other world religions. Most of the original heresies deal with the “nature” of Yeshua (Jesus). Even now these heresies are tainting the “Seven Churches”. Heresy free congregations are missing!
Chapter 37: Which Laws Are Everlasting? The vast majority of the 2.1 billion professing Christians in the world—33% of the world’s population—believe that Yeshua’s (Jesus’) death nailed the Torah [Law] to the cross. They “stake” their destiny on that presumption! Yet the very first question that every Believer in Yeshua should ask concerning their status as cherished ones (saints) is: Precisely what does Elohim (God) require of me? How is a person to know which Scriptural laws are required of Christians. Should you simply pick a guru and believe whatever he tells you? How do you personally decide which laws to obey? Does it really matter? Is there a key to knowing which laws are permanent? Torah understanding is missing!
Chapter 38: The Book of Life Why is it that the Bible never mentions someone having his or her name ADDED to The Book of Life? Why is it that the Bible only mentions people having their names BLOTTED OUT of that precious book? People assume that the Bible says: “Anyone who overcomes will be clothed in white garments, and I will ADD their name to the Book of Life”! This chapter makes the arguments about “predestination” irrelevant since we can know that Elohim (God) has predestined each of us to be winners in the “game of life”—so long as we play by six simple rules! Part 2 (same link) goes beyond just having your name recorded in heaven. It covers what is required to actually be present in the coming Everlasting Kingdom.
Chapter 39: Seven Things That Elohim (God) Loves A careful study of the things that Elohim hates will also reveal the things that He loves! The closer a person comes to hating the things that Elohim hates, the closer your mind is to becoming like His! Righteousness and wickedness are exact opposites—as far apart as the east is from the west. Love is missing!
Chapter 40: What is the True “Gospel”—Really? Is the gospel message strictly the announcement that Elohim (God) is going to set up His earthly kingdom? Yeshua (Jesus) commissioned His followers to herald the gospel, so it is imperative that we understand exactly what it is! Also, if the Assembly (Church) must reach the whole world before the “end”, then why did Yeshua say that ... “I tell you with certainly that you won’t have finished your mission in the cities of the house of Israel, before the Son of Man appears in public” (Matthew 10:23). Is this a contradiction? Has “the Church” missed it’s mission? Could “the Good News (gospel) of Messiah” concern “eternal Life for everyone who believes in Him?” (Romans 1:16) This chapter primarily debunks some highly exclusivist misconceptions still being promoted by scores of splinter groups spun off of the Worldwide Church of God. The true gospel is missing, yet it is prophesied to return.
Chapter 41: What is a Nazarene? What is a Christian? A few years after Yeshua (Jesus) was crucified, people of non Israelite heritage began to accept the teachings of Yeshua, but they soon separated themselves into a separate camp, so there were “Nazarenes” and “Christians”. Both terms are found in the Bible. The name Christianos (khris-tee-an-os’) “Christian” (Strong’s 5546) was coined by the enemies of the non Hebrew believers in the so-called “Gentile” regions. “Nazarenes” is what the Hebrew (Jewish) believers were called by their enemies.
Chapter 42: Should the ‘Church of God’ (Congregation of Yehovah) Have a Statement of Beliefs? Should your local Assembly or Congregation of Yehovah’s people mandate doctrinal requirements beyond the Ten Commandments? To do so would turn that Assembly into a Church! Yet The Church Is Not In God’s Plan). I recommend that you preferably don’t go to Church but rather consider The Anatomy of a Church), and if there is an Assembly of cherished ones (saints) within driving distance—under Elohim (God) and not under hierarchy—congregate there!
Chapter 43: Does Father Travel in Time? If Yehovah “travels in time” then certain occurrences within the Bible become easier for us, with our limited knowledge, to comprehend. If you believe that Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity essentially proves that “time travel” is possible, then you would not be surprised if it were to have a bearing on both history and prophecy. If you believe that Einstein was wrong, and that even Elohim (God) cannot traverse time, then please go on to another chapter. This chapter was written from the premise that the Creator of time has complete mastery of it, so if Einstein miscalculated—well, then blame this chapter on him. Nothing else in my book is dependent on time travel.
Not In one of My Print Books
Chapter 44: The Timing of Yeshua’s (Jesus’) First and Second Coming (2032/2033 AD?). This was my attempt to utilize all of the factors necessary to determine when Yeshua came in the past and His return in the near future, based on the 70 Weeks Prophecy and His own words—and by just using what the Bible reveals. I have utilized several of the dots that others have connected, but aligned them differently to indicate that we are on the very brink of the end of this age. I don’t believe there are any living prophets now, tho various individuals understand aspects of what the Bible prophets were inspired to write, but He may have sent us Glenn Beck, an insightful temporal analyst, to sort of bridge the gap, as a last resort, until Elijah comes.
Chapter 45: The Beast of March 12, 2024 I expect the beginning of the countdown to Daniel’s 70th week, the 7 years of Tribulation and Great Tribulation, followed by “the Day of Yehovah’s Vengeance” Isaiah 34:8. Isaiah 44 and 45 provide entirely unrelated evidence that appears to indicate that the Beast (Antichrist) will set up shop next in 2024, on the first day of the Biblical year.
Chapter 46: From 2024 to Eternity This is how end time events will play out, as I understand it, from 2024 to the end of Bible prophecy. The overview of world history is identical to war history. The end times will likely begin in 2024 (New Years Day on the Biblical calendar—3/23/23 possibility now ruled out!) The Everlasting Kingdom will begin like a sprouting mustard seed (Mark 4:30-32) in Jerusalem (Zechariah 14) and spread thruout the region (vs. 16-21) fairly quickly until “His judgments permeate the earth”. Other than that, there is just one “footnote” skirmish in Revelation 20:7-10, that will be squelched in a flash. I expect for the long anticipated 7th millennium to be firmly established in Israel in the spring of 2032, with the promise of neverending wonders (Isaiah 9:6-7). Then Israel will complete the “thousand generations” (50,000 years?) it was promised in Psalm 105:7-10.
Chapter 47: King David’s Everlasting Dynasty is Here and Now! With so much riding on the 2020 U.S. election, I decided to change this year’s-long running article into a chapter, so that even I could find it among my hundreds of links.
Chapter 48: Where Is Elohim’s (God’s) International Dateline? Where On Earth Does The Sabbath Begin? On a round globe, every day must have a starting and an ending point. Did Elohim (God) wait until 1884 for the world to determine when and where a day begins? Most Christian Churches default to “yes”. The world now begins the day in the dead of night and about as far away from Jerusalem as is possible! Shouldn’t that raise a red flag? This topic has real implications for Sabbath keepers over much of the earth!
Chapter 49: Dear Jennifer: A letter to my daughter about things I likely told her about when she was much younger (and to remind me too). This might also help explain why I’ve spent so many thousands of hours developing this website. This is about the only place on this site that pertains to me directly... I’ve found the missing link! (No, not that one Darwin.) I lost the link to this letter. The entire letter was missing for years before I even realized it—totally missing somehow from my site. I even began to wonder if I had ever posted it. But then I remembered being met at the doorstep of a prospective customer who had found it online and printed it off. I remember saying to her, “I see you found my letter.” But she never said a word about it, and neither did I.

URGENT THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT END TIME PROPHECY!
I have quite a few excellent prophecy links listed below. None of them are perfect. That’s why you need a “multitude of counselors”. But the most important factor is almost always missing from prophecy presentations—in fact, it’s missing from all the offsite Bible presentations listed below. I’m working on that shortcoming right now 1/28/23
First let’s establish a timeline, starting with the final Antichrist: The biggest benchmark of the end time is found in Daniel 9:27. Then 3 1/2 years later we are at Day #1 of the Great Tribulation: Daniel 11:31—36. By Daniel 12:1-4 the resurrection comes into play. Here Daniel pinpoints the resurrection. Centuries later the envoys (apostles) provide even more specific timing: 1 Corinthians 15:50-53 the “rapture” and the resurrection occur at the same time—the 7th trumpet of the Great Tribulation! 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 explains that the resurrection is likely minutes ahead of what is popularly known as the rapture. Revelation 11:15 brings us to the THIRD WOE. The Two Witnesses have just been killed (v.7) “and it’s time for the dead to be judged, and for You to compensate Your servants, the prophets”—the blessed hope. Serious confusion occurs since good sites like this do not realize that the end time is divided into 3 segments—two 3.5 year long parts totaling 7 years (a shemitah), followed by the Day of the Lord Yehovah (Isaiah 34:8)—the Jubilee year!
This explains the “when”, so what about the “who”?
We learned about the wise in Daniel, but consider Proverbs 24:5. So you need to be more than wise! In Matthew 19:17 Yeshua explained exactly what it takes to obtain eternal life. But just to be sure the wise don’t miss the world’s most important question and answer, it is repeated in Mark 10:17-22 and in Luke 18:18-23! I elaborate on that here. Do you know Commandment #4? It’s right here in Hebrews 4:9-11. People teach that the Jews must endure the Great Tribulation, but who are these in Revelation 12:17 and Revelation 14:12-13 and Revelation 14:12-13 and Revelation 22:12-14. When did your preacher last mention John 12:48-50 or John 14:15 & 21 or John 15:10? How about 1 John 3:22-24 or 1st John 5:2-3; 2nd John 1:6 and 1 Timothy 1:5-6. This is that most important factor most preachers forget to mention!
1/28/23 If you are not sure that the end of this age is at the doorsteps, then watch “12 Biblical Last Days Predictions HAPPENING NOW!” first, otherwise, skip to the next link.
Really quick! If you think that there may be a pre-tribulation rapture then this is an absolute MUST SEE! This is my only exposure to this source. It is also the first source I have ever seen that clearly differentiates The Day of the Lord Yehovah from the Great Tribulation. I only hope that in another installment they clarify it to be a one year long period: a Year of Payback (retribution), settling the dispute over Zion” (Isaiah 34:8)
THE USA & ISRAEL: THE EPICENTER OF END TIME PROPHECY!
Babylon the Great: If you are still unsure as to whether the USA fulfills all of the descriptions of Babylon the Great, then I suggest that you read Excursus: The Identification of Babylon the Great with the United States of America that should push you over. I say this despite the fact that the writer strongly emphasizes the rapture, particularly between pages 36-46. Yet interestingly he makes an excellent argument against what is taught as “the immanency of the rapture”—the teaching that Christians will be snatched away without advance notice and without any regard to prophetic events. The immanency doctrine is a powerful disincentive to understand any of Bible prophecy! And I definitely agree that he has the right action plan after page 46: Babylon the Great is not a religion, it is a real country. If you discover that you are living there, as the writer says, you should flee before they come for you! Please consider! The primary takeaway for me: actually fleeing Babylon. (There is also a Short Version). The biggest problem with the pre-Tribulation rapture theory is that it assures hundreds of millions of Christians that they will be spared all of the horrors ahead without their even being Sabbath observant Commandment keepers (all 10 commandments), but note Revelation 12:17; 14:12 and 22:14. Of the many instances in the Bible where someone or a group of people have been told to flee, not one time have the people just stayed put and lived to tell about it! Also note that of the seven end-time Commandment keeping assemblies (churches) that Revelation is actually addressed to, only one of the seven is spared the severe horror! Philadelphia must apparently be very short lived, have limited strength, and know His name! (Revelation 3:7-13)
This is Part 10 of a 20 year old series. John’s focus actually narrowed more onto the USA being Babylon in this concluding part. I have seen several more focused (and shorter) lectures on the topic of identifying (the Great) Babylon, but none have included the most critical component of all: who and where is Israel (and specifically Manasseh) at the end of the age. Other people almost always totally fail to see where Israel’s 12 tribes are in prophecy, and what Christianity teaches about Judah misses the entire purpose of end-time prophecy. This missing element will hurt people who have little idea why these prophecies are happening, even those who can clearly see who the target of the wrath is. The millennial Kingdom will only be set up in “The Time After Jacob’s Trouble”! While John did not see “literal” fleeing as I do: Jeremiah 51:6-7,45; Jeremiah 48:6; Revelation 18, by his part 10, he did come to see a quite literal Babylon! (This is my favorite site, other than of course the one you are on.)
If you wonder who will destroy Babylon “in one hour”, her many enemies are already deliberating about when to do it! But Yehovah already knows—He wrote the Book! The only thing left to do then is the pillaging: Ezekiel 16:37-42
America, The Babylon by Richard Coombes is a 2.5 hour video that explains all of the current theories on who she is and why only America checks all of the boxes! Amazing details, but really needs a Jeremiah 51:6-11 plan, since he says that the Jews will have to flee but only mentions Christians getting raptured. There is some great content that you might not otherwise see, and some huh? stuff (particularly regarding translated terms).
“Will the USA and other Anglo-nations be Divided and Their People Made Slaves?” Here is an older sermon from a man who was part of two corporate churches that I had been a part of between 1973 and 2000. Initially, enemies of the USA will plan on dividing up the land and assets of the USA, but the land will become uninhabitable and useless. Jeremiah 51:50-62 (first page commentary). After the Great Tribulation, many secular and religious leaders will be punished [terminated] and the Jews AND Israel (the other 10 tribes) will be brought “back from the land of Egypt again” (Zechariah 10:10)! This sermon exactly illustrates thru exhaustive Scripture references the coming destruction and enslavement of America and some other commonwealth nations. However, I have since come to disagree with this century+ old narrative in as far as who will do the destroying—who is the Biblical King of the North, who is Assyria (as in not Germany). Most importantly who is Babylon really and why we should literally flee, as explained in the paragraphs surrounding this one! While this is well worth listening to, I have to disagree that his new church is the one and only “true church”. If there were one, they would know where the Daughter (version 2.0) of Babylon (Isaiah 47) actually is, and have a detailed plan to literally flee right now!The Beast and Babylon: This 10 part series of articles about “Who is Babylon” uniquely includes Judah “Israel” (which will be destroyed within a month of the USA (the “lost 10 tribes”): Hosea 5:1-7), a very important connection! It was written between 2004 and 2005. I would start with this Part 2 link unless dismantling their previous misconceptions is of interest. This may be the overall best explanation of who Babylon is, but they don’t believe you can literally flee since they believe Babylon has infected the entire world. But if you survive until after the angel (or messenger) warns you to flee, (Revelation 18:1-4), you may have to be fleeing on foot with no preparation (like Lot)! In Part 3 I would skip to “Is Israel of No Consequence in the Last Days?” A rabbit trail from the main topic has to do with their mainstream view of what the New Covenant is.
The most credible “prophets” I know are Glenn Beck and Andy Schectman, whose video explains in exact detail how Babylon can die economically “in one hour” Revelation 18:17), or, as he puts it, “overnight”, (not to mention the military destruction).
WAR AND RUMOURS OF WARS is intriguing to me. It’s not about demonstrating who Babylon the Great is; it’s about her demise.
More proof: 4 Plain Proofs America is Babylon. For way too long I strongly thought Europe would become Babylon the Great. That is not remotely working out. While I like this article, as usual, I have never entirely endorsed any source.
Once you know who Babylon the Great is, and many of you find out that you are in it, and that what you call the “rapture” happens immediately after the Great Tribulation and that it won’t be a secret, you might be curious to know who the instrument of Yehovah’s wrath is. See Isaiah 13 and Jeremiah 50 and 51. Then this site will be very helpful in determining who actually facilitates at least the human component of the destruction—all while being clueless as to who the victim is! The Kurds may jump at the chance to be the proxy that lets fly the doomsday weapons... There’s Always a Next Time to Betray the Kurds [Medes: Jeremiah 51:11].
The Kurds [Medes] will destroy modern Babylon—the USA! Probably as a newly armed proxy. The USA turned against Israel in 2020. What might it do against the 3rd temple to bring on “the Day of Yehovah’s vengeance”? The fall of ancient Babylon literally happened overnight, but the next day was business as usual—no harm other than for some politicians. “A remarkable aspect of the capture of Babylon is the fact that Cyrus allowed the Jews (who were exiled in Babylonia) to return home.” That is the best commality between both Babylons falling: “Fallen (#1), fallen (#2) is Babylon the Great!”
End time prophecy involves both America AND a reviving British Empire, along with the southern kingdom, Israel, preceding the Ezekiel 37:15-20 prophecy. Ancient Babylon has modern day daughters. (counterparts) (Revelation 17:5)
Genesis 35:10-11 Elohim said to him, “Your name is Jacob; but you won’t be called Jacob any longer. Your name will be Israel.” So he was renamed Israel. 11 Elohim also told him, “I’m the Conqueror [El-Shaddai]; be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a Commonwealth [or Assembly] of nations will come from you. Kings will be among your 'descendants'!
Here is a very relevant account concerning the destruction of America taking place right now!
A Revelation About Revelation (Commentary!)
The way I’m going to introduce this most excellent link about the Book of Revelation is to basically repeat what I wrote to the webmaster with links added:
Hi Jan,
I was so excited that my google search for “the sequence of events in Revelation” brought me to Joyce’s article with that exact title! I, knowing that Revelation is about both “the Day of the Lord” and “the Great Tribulation” have been stumped for years right off the bat in Revelation 1:10 “I found myself transitioning into the spirit realm on the Day of Yehovah”. I simply could not get past thinking that the book should center on “the Day of the Lord” or as I see from Joyce’s intro: the Day of “Jehovah”. (I am the guy who first put the name Yehovah on the internet since there is no ‘J’ in Hebrew.) I have written about Jesus (Yeshua) being called Yehovah as well as His Father. Here is a great introduction to that: Sovereign YEHOVAH It is a large part of my understanding too! I have spent tens of thousands of hours studying and writing about the Bible. I’ve visited thousands of websites and linked to a few hundred of them, but this “paper” by Joyce may be the best one I’ve ever found. I’ve never found another I could link to on Revelation—So logical. I will be linking to it as soon as I finish this letter. I was concerned about her use of the word “rapture”, until I saw that she meant it strictly accompanying the resurrection FOLLOWING the Great Tribulation (no airplanes falling out of the sky). There are a couple of points I was hoping to discuss with Joyce, until I read that that was no longer possible. Tho Babylon is late in the Book of Revelation, I see lots of evidence now that the USA is Babylon and that it will be destroyed likely as soon as the Tribulation begins (maybe for provoking the Antichrist over the 3rd Temple (Jeremiah 51:11). But now realizing, thanks to Joyce, that there can be no forcing Revelation into a progressively uninterrupted timeline on a chart, I was hoping she could consider the Babylon links on my [this] home page. A second thing I would have loved to have discussed with her is that 6 of the churches in Rev 2 & 3 appear not to be spared the Tribulation, and that would account for the many martyrs (in the “church”) who witness during the Great Tribulation along with the Two Witnesses during that period—at the cost of their lives! I have also written extensively about where in the clouds safety is afforded to Philadelphia.
Thank you, Jan
Sincerely, Lon
Then, could Israel and Judah be part of the Beast System? The audio below is from a friend who has come to many of the conclusions I have. But is Babylon the Great under the control of the Antichrist, or is Babylon destroyed by the Antichrist: (Revelation 17:5&16). Since the fall of the Roman Empire, tyrants have tried to resurrect the Babylonian Empire, fulfilling Revelation chapters 14 and 16-18; and Jeremiah chapters 50 and 51.

MISCELLANEOUS OFFSITE LINKS:
Is it OK for Christians to debate? As with anything I link to, I know little to nothing about the source. I was just looking for a suitable to excellent answer to the question. If I ever post another link from this writer it will be because I was specifically searching another topic, and by happenstance landed on the same site. Only occasionally will I go to a home page if something super impresses me.
The Shroud of Turin: Time for a second look! I thought it was just some Catholic thing. “In this captivating video, we delve deep into the centuries-old mystery surrounding the Shroud of Turin and explore the compelling evidence supporting its authenticity. The Shroud, believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ, has intrigued researchers, historians, and believers for generations. Join us as we examine the scientific investigations, forensic analyses, and historical context that shed light on the remarkable features of the Shroud...”
You Won’t Believe What Dr. Bryan Ardis Did! Shocking information about modern hospital childbirth protocols and, as a separate but associated issue, vaccinations for babies. I researched vaccinations in my mid teens and have never willingly taken one since, but this is on another whole level!
Biblical Locations of the Lost Ten Tribes: “The following studies show the location of the Lost Ten Tribes in the Latter Days according to the Bible. We will quote Scriptural Passages giving us proofs from a geographical perspective, the palpable proof of Biblical Blessings, the especial application of Biblical Blessings to the Seed of Joseph, as well as the Prophesied Roles and Attributes of The Lost Ten Tribes. All of this evidence needs to be considered as ONE COMPREHENSIVE WHOLE each part supplementing, complementing, and reinforcing the other. When seen as a unitary body of evidence, these proofs to our understanding are irrefutable, as the reader may judge for themselves.” This is one of the very best sites I have ever found.—Lonnie
HALT all covid-19 vaccinations immediately, warns a top vaccine scientist, or an “uncontrollable monster” will be unleashed. Also a MUST SEE! In 1970, as a senior in high school, my school was vaccinating the students. I asked if I had any say in the matter and was told that I had no choice. I didn’t know that I had been lied to and that at the time I had that freedom of choice for my own body, so I didn’t put up a fight. Within minutes I started seeing a cute little pink small pox dome rising on my arm. So I walked home and smeared some cod liver oil on it and killed it! It went away as fast as it had risen. I did not want to pass on any weak genes to a future generation if I didn’t have enough natural immunity to survive on my own. I have never submitted my body to vaccines since that day. 51 years later, what is now said to be a “vaccine” directly cancels out natural immunity! The jabs supersede the natural immunity that Yehovah gave us, instead making people entirely dependent on big pharma (pharmakeia). Where are the tests that show, even after the “emergency” edict, that lab animals even survive this “science”? Keep up to date on medical truths being banned.—DON’T DRINK THE KOOL AID!
The Final 8 Years: All of this century I have stated that the end of the age will consist of a final 7 years (a shemitah cycle) followed by a Jubilee year—an exact 8 year period. So I decided to see if anyone else had come to that conclusion. Anyone with much online presence with this perspective should be locatable by searching the words “The Day of the Lord” and “one year” in quotes. An extensive search located three relative hits, all of them happened to be Sabbath advocates. The first was very similar to my scenario, but they counted Yehovah’s year into Satan’s seven dreaded years. I really liked this one overall, which is the reason for this post. They stated: “the Day of the Lord length is either one year, two years, or three years in length.” They strongly leaned toward “one year”. The second did the same thing. A third essentially said the same thing, but denied both “one year” and “eight years”—from the very first paragraph. Huh. The Jubilee was not a factor in any of these articles. So sad. (It would have taken an unreasonable amount of time to locate my site this way—if ever. (Adding “Jubilee” to that Google search produces 0 results, tho there are 3 apparently unsearchable matches on everlastingkingdom.info—thanks a lot google.)
The Self-Directed Christian by Ronald Dart is truly a must hear! I seldom listen to sermons because I prefer to do very personal, customized topical internet searches for exact perspectives of interest. Then I consider many, hoping to find one that stands out as true (and link to it). But recently, someone pointed out to me this sermon by someone I have known of for perhaps 50 years. Never in my life had I thought I would hear this from a minister! Note: He may have believed that the “seven churches” are strictly historic, rather than primarily of end time relevance. (I usually listen at 1.75 X normal speed.)

NY Doctor Proved Everyone Wrong About Hydroxychloroquine As early as March 2020, Dr. Vladimir Zelenko boasted a near-100% success rate treating COVID-19 patients with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), azithromycin and zinc sulfate for five days... Zelenko has now treated 3,000 patients with COVID-19 symptoms and only three high-risk patients have died...
John Kempf is My Most Respected Expert in any field of endeavor. He is without doubt the most knowledgeable and successful farmer in the world of this millennium, and probably ever. But this Amish genius with an eighth grade formal education has a methodology that stopped a freak monstrous cold snap from killing an orchard, while the neighbors fruit trees are entirely killed off. Other now enlightened farmers are surviving crop disease disasters unfazed, serious erosion events and droughts as well. A farm in Africa, using his methodology, was the only place in a region that was totally unaffected by a locust invasion. The locusts ate every green leaf in sight but stopped at the border of the biologically sound farm with absolutely no harm to the crops—all the while harvesting huge amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide and sequestering it in the soil—a prerequisite for fantastic harvests. This process redirects failing farms during the first year of adaptation of his regenerative procedures! He weans his customers off of all artificial fertilizer inputs. They need no insecticides, fungicides, herbicides or synthetic fertilizers. I never dreamed these things would be discovered this side of the 7th millennium! As a young man I see him greatly excelling on the other side of the coming collapse of civilization. I have watched everything I could of his many videos, but this video stands out as the one that would benefit a gardener the most, even tho this episode was produced for market gardeners. Typically, he zeros in on a given topic and explains everything seemingly known about it. Every single factor he covers in this video is necessary for real success when growing perhaps 50 different garden crops. Almost every other video he produces is for farm scale and precision focus on one or two cash crops along with their support cover crops in year round green acres. He covers all of the imperative factors necessary for further study to garden right with overwhelming credibility. This is true save the planet information.
Get ready for severe food shortages this year, particularly in the former USA! Our food surpluses have already been sold; fertilizer shortages, and now American farmers are being paid to quit farming.

When is year 6000? It can of course be calculated from Biblical geneologies, but here are all of the particulars. I do differ on when a year begins, from which everything else hinges, because Ernest Martin believed that all years begin in the seventh month rather than the first month, Passover month (Exodus 12:1-3).

FEATURED ARTICLES INDEX

In addition to my books and the Testimony of Yeshua, there are many FEATURED ARTICLES from other people, either on this site or linked. These represent what I consider to be the best explanations for their respective topics that I am aware of. The mysteries explored go beyond basic “salvational issues”. To obtain a minimal level of salvation all that is necessary is what Yeshua (Jesus) told a young Jew—without even “bothering” to mention that He was the Life Giver (Savior) of mankind. In fact the Life Giver of all mankind apparently sidestepped His role in the process with this seeker of eternal life, by asking him, “Why do you call Me good?”
