IT'S VITAL TO YOUR SALVATION!


The End Of The World?

My Dear Friends,

      The one spoken of as the Savior said the following:
Mattithyah 24:14—

  And this message of the Kingdom will be preached to all the world by the one who bears witness to all nations; and then the end will come.
 

If you look at all that He said was prophesied for this time period, you will see that an end is included. Also, notice everything else that is included. First and foremost, He warns us of the deception for this time period.

Mattithyah 24:4-5—
4   Yahshua answered, and said to them: Be on guard, so that no man deceives you;
5   For many will come against My Name, saying: I am anointed to preach salvation!—and will deceive many.
 

From other Scriptures, we see that every single point must be applied to a prophecy or we may not foretell the prophecy correctly. With that in mind, notice the following Scriptures.

Mattithyah 24:21-22—
21 For then will be great tribulation, such as has not come to pass since the beginning of the world to this time—no, nor ever will be.
22 And unless those days were shortened, there would no flesh be saved; but for the elect's sake, those days will be shortened.
 

The reference work from which we translate the word great shows that it can and should have been translated greatest. Notice, in the same verse we see, tribulation such as has not come to pass nor ever will be again. So, this one will be the greatest.

The word tribulation is used to describe the calamities of war; it means distress, anguish, persecution, suffer, affliction, due to the pressure or circumstances. The words deceived and deception also carry the meaning of greatest, as do all the calamities mentioned in this chapter.

With this information, we see that the things the Savior showed us in this chapter will be the worst ever, and so will the deception. This coincides with the other prophecies written for this same time period.

Mattithyah 24:24—
For there will arise false messiahs and false prophets who will show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they would deceive the very elect.
 

The Savior is showing, as do the prophets and apostles, that sin causes tribulation and anguish. Adultery breeds STDs which enter various body parts, diminishing their ability to function properly, causing what we call sickness and disease, which are referred to as curses in the inspired Scriptures. STDs also enter the mind and cause what is referred to as Babylon or confusion.

In this time period, we will face the very worst confusion, caused by adultery, fornication, sodomy and bestiality. These are all brought to our lives by deceiving religions that rebel against Yahweh's Laws.


Compare the following Scriptures.
Revelation 2:22, Amplified Bible—
Take note: I will throw her on a bed [of anguish], and those who commit adultery with her [her paramours] I will bring down to pressing distress and severe affliction, unless they turn away their minds from conduct [such as] hers and repent of their doings.

Revelation 2:22—
Behold, she will be struck with deadly diseases, along with those who commit adultery with her. They will suffer greatly, unless they repent of their practices.

Revelation 18:1-8—
1   And after these things I saw another malak come down from heaven, having great authority; and the earth was enlightened with His glory.
2   And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying: Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of demons, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3   For all nations have drunk of the cup of her destruction because of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4   And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: Come out of her, My people, so that you do not partake in her sins, and so that you do not receive of her plagues,
5   For her sins have reached unto heaven, and Yahweh has remembered her transgressions against His Laws!
6   It will be rendered to her just as she rendered to you, for she will be repaid double according to her works! In the cup which she has mixed, it will be mixed for her double!
7   In the measure that she glorified herself, and lived luxuriously, so in that measure she will be given torment and sorrow! For she says in her heart: I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will see no sorrow.
 8   Therefore, her plagues will come in one daydeath, and mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire; for just is Father Yahweh Who judges her.

Revelation 18:1-8, Amplified Bible—
1   THEN I saw another angel descending from heaven, possessing great authority and the earth was illuminated with his radiance and splendor.
2   And he shouted with a mighty voice, She is fallen! Mighty Babylon is fallen! She has become a resort and dwelling place for demons, a dungeon haunted by every loathsome spirit, and abode for every filthy and detestable bird.
3   For all nations have drunk the wine of her passionate unchastity, and the rulers and leaders of the earth have joined with her in committing fornication (idolatry), and the businessmen of the earth have become rich with the wealth of her excessive luxury and wantonness.
4   I then heard another voice from heaven saying, Come out from her, my people, so that you may not share in her sins, neither participate in her plagues.
5   For her iniquities (her crimes and transgressions) are piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered her wickedness and [her] crimes [and calls them up for settlement].
6   Repay to her what she herself has paid [to others] and double [her doom] in accordance with what she has done. Mix a double portion for her in the cup she mixed [for others].
7   To the degree that she glorified herself and reveled in her wantonness [living deliciously and luxuriously], to that measure impose on her torment and anguish and tears and mourning. Since in her heart she boasts, I am not a widow; as a queen [on a throne] I sit, and I shall never see suffering or experience sorrow.
8   So shall her plagues (afflictions, calamities come thick upon her in a single day, pestilence and anguish and sorrow and famine; and she shall be utterly consumed (burned up with fire), for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.
 

I know that all the major religions want you to believe that they are the chosen ones of the Creator. But remember that the Book of Revelation was written to show Yahweh's servants the prophecies concerning the things that must come to pass.

Revelation 1:1—
The Revelation of Yahshua Messiah, which Yahweh gave to Him, to show His servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it through His malak to His servant Yahchanan: 

One of the major religions, in writing against the Last Days Work of Yahweh, quoted the Savior in an attempt to try to persuade you not to believe the prophecies or Yahweh's warning. They are hoping that you will not come out from their religions which openly rebel and were even prophesied to change Yahweh's Laws and fight against the Saints.

Daniyl 7:21, 25—
21 I beheld, and thesame horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
25 And he will speak great words against Yahweh, and will wear out; mentally attack to cause to fall away, the saints of Yahweh, and think to change the Feasts, holy days, and Laws; and they will be given into his hand until a time, and times, and the dividing of time.
 

History shows the religions that changed Yahweh's Sabbaths. We made copies of various reference sources and put them in our books, The Mark of the Beast, Volumes 1 & 2; The Sabbath, Every Question Answered; and in our free booklet, Which Day Is The Sabbath?, for anyone who would like to check them out.

Daniyl's prophecy plainly shows that this religious system would fight against Yahweh's holy people and change Yahweh's Sabbaths, Feast Days and Laws. Whether they admit to being the ones who actually brought forth the proclamation causing Yahweh's Laws to be changed matters not. The fact that they still refuse to keep Yahweh's Laws shows they are in rebellion and they condone the same sins.

The fact also remains that sin is the breaking of Yahweh's Laws and those who continue to break Yahweh's Laws do not belong to Yahweh or to the Savior. Notice to whom they do belong according to the Savior and the inspired apostles' writings. The Savior spoke the following:

Mattithyah 5:17-18—
17 Do not even think that I have come to destroy the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to destroy them, but to establish them.
18 For truly I say to you; Unless heaven and earth pass away, one yodh—the smallest of the letters—will in no way pass from the Law, until all things are perfected.

Revelation 22:12-14—
12 And behold, I come quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work will be.
13 I am the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14 Blessed are those who keep His (the Heavenly Father's) Laws, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Mattithyah 7:15-18—
15 Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17 Likewise, every righteous tree brings forth righteous fruit; but a tree of evil brings forth fruit of iniquity.
18 A righteous tree cannot bring forth fruit of iniquity, nor can a tree of evil bring forth fruits of righteousness.
 

Now notice what the Savior said would be done with those who change or fail to keep Yahweh's Laws of righteousness.

Mattithyah 7:19—
Every tree which does not bring forth righteous fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.
 

These words are plain. There is no mistaking that those whose fruits are sin, iniquity (verse 17), will be burned (verse 19). Continue to read in Mattithyah Chapter 7.

Mattithyah 7:21-23—
21 Not everyone who says to Me; Teacher! Teacher! will enter into the Kingdom of Yahweh, but only he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven.
22 Many will say to Me in that day; Teacher! Teacher! Have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and in Your Name performed many wonderful works?
23 But then I will declare to them; I never knew you. Get away from Me, you who transgress against Yahweh's Law!
 

The word iniquity means not subject to Yahweh's Laws.

It seems that the only time the major religions quote the Savior's words is when they are trying to deceive. If they truly believed what the Savior said, they would be repenting of breaking Yahweh's Laws. Instead, they rebel against them daily and teach their followers to do the same. Notice also what the Savior said in:
Revelation 18:1-5—
1   And after these things I saw another malak come down from heaven, having great authority; and the earth was enlightened with His glory.
2   And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying: Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become thehabitation of demons, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3   For all nations have drunk of the cup of her destruction because of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4   And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: Come out of her, My people, so that you do not partake in her sins, and so that you do not receive of her plagues,
5   For her sins have reached unto heaven, and Yahweh has remembered her transgressions against His Laws!

Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament shows the word translated Babylon is allegorically, of Rome as the most corrupt seat of idolatry.

Revelation 18:2, 6-8—
2   And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying: Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become thehabitation of demons, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
6   It will be rendered to her just as she rendered to you, for she will be repaid double according to her works! In the cup which she has mixed, it will be mixed for her double!
7   In the measure that she glorified herself, and lived luxuriously, so in that measure she will be given torment and sorrow! For she says in her heart: I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will see no sorrow.
8   Therefore, her plagues will come in one day--death, and mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire; for just is Father Yahweh Who judges her.

 

Of course, they will deny this prophecy refers to them but notice, verses 4 and 5 show they are practicing sin and causing plagues by their teachings. Their teachings do not include the Laws of Yahweh. Breaking the Laws of Yahweh is sin, which they openly do.

I Yahchanan 3:4—
Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Law; for sin is thetransgression of the Law.

Revelation 18:4-5—
4   And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: Come out of her, My people, so that you do not partake in her sins, and so that you do not receive of her plagues,
5   For her sins have reached unto heaven, and Yahweh has remembered her iniquities!

 

Please notice the Savior's words in describing this major religion.

Revelation 17:9, 18—
9   And here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
18 And the woman whom you saw, is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.

 

Of course, they will still deny this prophecy is speaking of them, even though that city was built on the seven hills of Rome.

The Basic Everyday Encyclopedia page 451 gives us the following information concerning these seven mountains (hills).

 Rome (the "Eternal City"), ... Traditionally founded 753 BC by Romulus and Remus, built on 7 hills...

 

Compton's Pictured Encyclopedia, 1948, Volume 12, page 144, also tells us about the city of seven hills.
      ...the "City of Seven Hills." ...the Capitoline, Palatine, Aventine, Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, and Caelian hills. ...the seat of the papacy, the head of the great Roman Catholic Church.

 

Compare the following Scriptures.

Daniyl 7:21-22, 25—
21 I beheld, and thesame horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of Yahweh; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdoms.
25 And he will speak great words against Yahweh, and will wear out; mentally attack to cause to fall away, the saints of Yahweh, and think to change the Feasts, holy days, and Laws; and they will be given into his hand until a time, and times, and the dividing of time.

Isayah 24:1-6—
1   Before Yahweh's very eyes, the earth is made empty and it is made waste; the face of it is perverted and its inhabitants scattered abroad;
2   And it will be: as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his owner; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with him who takes usury, so with him who gives usury to him:
3   The land will be utterly emptied and utterly plundered, for it has come to pass that this judgment has been pronounced.
4   The earth mourns and fades away, the world mourns and fades away, and the haughty people of the earth languish.
5   The earth also is defiled because of the inhabitants of it, because they have transgressed the Laws, changed the ordinance, and broken the everlasting covenant.
6   Because of this, the curse has devoured the earth, and they who dwell therein are desolate; therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

 

They will also deny that it is their teaching of rebellion that has devoured the whole earth and is causing the confusion, disease epidemics, and hatred we see in the whole world today. But they still will not repent of sin.

They quote the Savior only when they can use part of His teaching to deceive. In a recent commentary on the end of the world, it was stated that "the end" spoken of by the Savior is as follows:

      "Just read the last line of the same Gospel passage: "But of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." If neither the angels nor the Son (insofar as he is man and not insofar as he is God) know the day or hour of the end, is it possible that a member of some sect or some religious fanatic would know and be authorized to announce it?
      Jesus says: "This generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place." Is he mistaken? No, it was the world that was known to his hearers that passed away, the Jewish world. It tragically passed away with the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70."

 

Please notice, this priest is saying that the destruction of the Temple is what the Savior was speaking of as the end. Read those statements carefully; then I want to show the deception this man is using, because you need to be warned by Yahshua and prepare for and avoid what is coming upon this world.

Yahshua spoke of the Temple at Jerusalem and said it would be destroyed, He was then asked about the end of the age and the sign of His coming. In answering, the Savior spoke of the prophecy of Daniyl and said when you see these thingsso, we know this is something we can see when it occurs.

Mattithyah 24:15—
Therefore, when you will see The Lord of Heaven; the Abomination of Desolation, spoken of by Daniyl the prophet, standing in the Holy Place—whoever reads, let him understand—

 

Daniyl's prophecy shows that the end of the age would be the end of the governments and religions of and by the people who rebel against the Laws of Yahweh. Notice this for yourself in:

Daniyl 7:11-12—
11 I beheld, then, because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke; I beheld until the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their governments taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.

 

These "governments" are given to a burning that Daniyl later shows is the worst tribulation ever.

Daniyl 12:1—
And at that time will come that great, perfect government based upon perfect Laws, that will save the children of Your people; and there will be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation to that time. And at that time Your people will be saved, everyone who will be found written in the Book of life.

 

This is the same burning, nuclear burning, and greatest time of trouble that the Savior spoke of in:

Mattithyah 24:21-22, 29—
21 For then will be great tribulation, such as has not come to pass since the beginning of the world to this time—no, nor ever will be.
22 And unless those days were shortened, there would no flesh be saved; but for the elect's sake, those days will be shortened.
29 Immediately, but after the tribulation of those days will the sun be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

 

Daniyl also reveals that this same spokesman (religion) or horn is the one leading the governments and making war against Yahweh's Saints—those who keep the whole Law of Yahweh.

Daniyl 7:21-22, 25—
21 I beheld, and thesame horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of Yahweh; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdoms.
25 And he will speak great words against Yahweh, and will wear out; mentally attack to cause to fall away, the saints of Yahweh, and think to change the Feasts, holy days, and Laws; and they will be given into his hand until a time, and times, and the dividing of time.

 

I would ask that the Catholic priest who attacked the Last Days' Work of Yahweh and the Last Days warning that is now going out to all the world, to just look at all that the Savior said would take place in this time period, that we are seeing right now.

 The greatest tribulation ever.

Mattithyah 24:14—
And this message of the Kingdom will be preached to all the world by the one who bears witness to all nations; and then the end will come.

Mattithyah 24:21-22—
21 For then will be great tribulation, such as has not come to pass since the beginning of the world to this time—no, nor ever will be.
22 And unless those days were shortened, there would no flesh be saved; but for the elect's sake, those days will be shortened.

The greatest epidemics ever.

Mattithyah 24:7—
...there will be famines, and pestilences; disease epidemics,...

 The greatest hatred ever.

Mattithyah 24:7—
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom...

 

The destruction of the Temple had nothing to do with the great tribulation Yahshua spoke of, which is given also in Revelation for this time period when the Quartet (United States, Russia, United Nations and European Union) has been formed.

      Notice the final revelation of the Savior.

Revelation 1:1—
The Revelation of Yahshua Messiah, which Yahweh gave to Him, to show His servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it through His malak to His servant Yahchanan:

 

This prophecy was given in 96 A.D. That was over twenty years after the Temple was destroyed. The Savior is speaking of the time of His coming and the end of the age of man's governments of and by the people.

Revelation 22:12-14—
12 And behold, I come quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work will be.
13 I am the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14 Blessed are those who keep His Laws, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

 

Notice, the following Scriptures are speaking of the first resurrection of the dead, the same time period of the great tribulation that darkens the sun (Mattithyah 24:29-30).

Revelation 20:1-6—
1   And I saw a malak come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2   And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, who is the Devil, and Satan, and bound her a thousand years-
3   And cast her into the bottomless pit, and shut her up, and set a seal upon her, that she should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years should be finished; and after that she must be loosed a little season.
4   And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them. And I saw the souls of those who were beheaded for their witness of Yahshua and for the word of Yahweh; the Law and the Prophets, and who had not worshiped the beast, nor his likeness, neither had received his mark in their foreheads nor upon their hands; andthey lived and reigned with the Messiah a thousand years-
5   But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection-
6   Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection; on such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of Yahweh and of the Messiah, and will reign with Him a thousand years.

 

Remember Revelation 22:14, those who reign with Yahshua will not be those fighting against Yahweh's Laws but those keeping Yahweh's Laws only. Now remember the following:
Mattithyah 24:29-30—
29 Immediately, but after the tribulation of those days will the sun be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30 And then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven; and then will all those of the earth who are hostile to and have rejected Yahweh—and who have turned their hearts to gods (elohim)—will mourn, for they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

 

Remember Mattithyah 24:29-30 and Revelation 20:1-6 are speaking of the same time period—the time of the first resurrection and the greatest tribulation ever.

This is how it will take place, starting in and around the great River Euphrates. That's exactly where these prophecies are being fulfilled today, as I write.

Revelation 9:13-18—
13 And the sixth malak sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before Yahweh,
14 Saying to the sixth malak which had the trumpet: Loose the four messengers who are bound in the great river Euphrates!
15 And the four messengers were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a moon; month, and a year, in order to slay the third part of men.
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred thousand thousand; for I heard the number of them.
17 And in my vision, I saw the horses and those who sat upon them like this: They had breastplates of fire; yellow, and of jacinth; blue, and brimstone; red, and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire, and smoke, and brimstone.
18 By these three were the third part of men killed: by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

 

Verse 15 shows the four messengers, the Quartet, must be loosed, which means they were being held back. So where is the prophecy that shows they are being held back?

Revelation 6:7-8, 12-13—
7   And when He had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say: Come and see.
8   And I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat upon it was Death; and Sheol; the grave, followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with pestilence—the same under the authority of the beast of the earth.
12 And I looked when He had opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and thesun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree drops its untimely figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.

 

This is speaking of the same time period of war and tribulation that the Savior spoke of in:
Mattithyah 24:29—
Immediately, but after the tribulation of those days will the sun be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

 

If you will notice in both prophecies, the sun is darkened and the stars fall from heaven. These are the same wars that are held back until a certain Work of Yahweh can be finished, which is shown to us in:
Mattithyah 24:14—
And this message of the Kingdom will be preached to all the world by the one who bears witness to all nations; and then the end will come.

Revelation 7:1-3—
1   And after these things I saw four messengers standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2   And I saw another malak ascending from the east, having the seal of the living Father; and he cried with a loud voice to the four malakim, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3   Saying: Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our Father in their foreheads.

 

That Work includes bringing out a number of people, a calling to come out of the sinning, wicked religions of man. Yahweh's Work is being prepared at this time to bring a people out of the great tribulation.

Revelation 17:9, 18—
9   And here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
18 And the woman whom you saw, is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.

Revelation 18:1-5—
1   And after these things I saw another malak come down from heaven, having great authority; and the earth was enlightened with His glory.
2   And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying: Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become thehabitation of demons, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3   For all nations have drunk of the cup of her destruction because of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4   And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: Come out of her, My people, so that you do not partake in her sins, and so that you do not receive of her plagues,
5   For her sins have reached unto heaven, and Yahweh has remembered her transgressions against His Laws!

 

Now look at Revelation 7 which shows the Quartet being held back and a people being prepared.

Revelation 7:1-4—
1   And after these things I saw four messengers standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2   And I saw another malak ascending from the east, having the seal of the living Father; and he cried with a loud voice to the four messengers, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3   Saying: Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our Father in their foreheads.
4   And I heard the number of those who were sealed: And there were sealed 144,000 of all the tribes of the children of Israyl.

Revelation 7:9-10, 14—
9   After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and with palm branches; taught to keep Yahweh's Feasts, in their hands;
10 And crying with a loud voice, saying: Salvation to our Father Who sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb!
14 And I said to him: Ruler, you know. And he said to me: These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made themselves white in the blood of the Lamb.

 

This multitude will come out of the great tribulation that will, at the end, darken the sun. That's the same tribulation the Savior was speaking of in Mattithyah 24. After that tribulation the sign of the Son of Man will be seen.

Mattithyah 24:29-30—
29 Immediately, but after the tribulation of those days will the sun be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30 And then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven; and then will all those of the earth who are hostile to and have rejected Yahweh—and who have turned their hearts to gods (elohim)—mourn, for they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Revelation 6:12-17—
12 And I looked when He had opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and thesun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree drops its untimely figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed like a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, sought protection for themselves in their governments and in the assemblies and the houses of their gods (elohim);
16 And said to the houses of their gods (elohim) and the assemblies: Fall on us, and protect us from the face of Him Who sits on the throne, and from the judgment of the Lamb!
17 For the great day of His judgment has come, and who will be able to stand?

 

These wars that had been held back started September 12, 2006 after the Quartet was loosed to use nuclear wars that will kill a third part of man over a fourth part of the earth in and around the great River Euphrates. September 12, 2006 was the conception of the nuclear baby that will take nine months to develop and will be delivered June 12, 2007.

All of these prophecies are referring to the same time period—a time when Yahweh would have a Work, and the results of the rebellious religions lead the nations into sin.

But The Religions Who Rebel Against The
Laws Of Yahweh Will Still Not Repent

After this nine month period of trouble that has already started in and around the great River Euphrates, the religions that lead the kings of the earth still will not repent.

Revelation 9:20-21—
20 And the rest of the men who were not killed by these plagues, still did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and gods (elohim, teraphim) of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk;
21 Neither did they repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

 

So the same cause will continue. We see the cause in:
Isayah 24:1-6—
1   Before Yahweh's very eyes, the earth is made empty and it is made waste; the face of it is perverted and its inhabitants scattered abroad;
2   And it will be: as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his owner; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with him who takes usury, so with him who gives usury to him:
3   The land will be utterly emptied and utterly plundered, for it has come to pass that this judgment has been pronounced.
4   The earth mourns and fades away, the world mourns and fades away, and the haughty people of the earth languish.
5   The earth also is defiled because of the inhabitants of it, because they have transgressed the Laws, changed the ordinance, and broken the everlasting covenant.
6   Because of this, the curse has devoured the earth, and they who dwell therein are desolate; therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

 

Today, scientists and environmentalists agree with Isayah 24:1-6. Certain doctors also agree, and will tell you, if you ask, that adultery, fornication, sodomy and bestiality cause defilement, sickness, disease and disease epidemics.

     

The cause will continue and the results will worsen. American and Russian scientists have proven that nuclear wars will darken the sun. The troubles have already started in and around the great River Euphrates. Anyone can see that these things are taking place. They're broadcast on the news, besides being written about in prophecy. But the wars will not end with a third part of men killed in and around the great River Euphrates, over that fourth part of the earth.

The cause will remain because the religions will not repent and start teaching peace. There are 613 perfect Laws inspired by Yahweh. Those Laws would bring complete peace, if taught and followed diligently.

     

Doing away with these Laws, as the religions have done, has caused sickness, disease, and defilement of the earth and mankind. From sickness comes confusion. Babylon means confusion.

     

To this major religion who brought rebellion to all the earth, Yahshua the Savior says:
Revelation 17:1-2—
1   And there came one of the seven malakim who had the seven bowls, and talked with me, saying to me: Come, I will show you the sentence of the great whore that sits upon many waters,
2   With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication; practiced idolatry: godworship (the worship of elohim), and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

 

The word kings comes from the Greek word basileus which means any foundation of power and can refer to an emperor, Herod the tetrarch, any and all leaders who have a nation's authority behind them. Remember, Revelation 9:20 says their Gods, of which there are many, are the works of their own hands. But those referred to in this chapter of the inspired prophecies are weapons of war.

     

The other Gods referred to in Revelation 9:20-21 lead people to commit fornication. These Gods can enter the home by way of television, teaching uncontrolled illegal lust, seduction, fornication, adultery, sodomy and bestiality. These Gods kill from within, causing STDs which bring anguish, pain, and suffering—tribulation, and in this time period, the greatest tribulation.     

Sorceries, another of the Gods named, is word #5331 from #5332, pharmakeia, in Strong's Greek Dictionary and means medication, pharmacy, a druggist, pharmacist.

Revelation 17:3-6—
3   So he carried me away in the Spirit into the midst of godworshipers (worshipers of Elohim); and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4   And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.
5   And upon her head was a name written: MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6   And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Yahshua. And when I saw her, I wondered with great astonishment.

 

This is exactly the moral condition that we see in the world today. Not only do we see fornication, adultery, uncontrolled illegal lust, sodomy and bestiality, we see 46 million babies being murdered each year by what mankind prefers to call a woman's right of choice or abortion.

Notice how the Savior described this evil and adulterous generation.

Mattithyah 24:37—
But just as the days of Noah were, so will also be the coming of the Son of Man.

 

Notice how today's time period compares with the days of Noah.

Genesis 6:5, 11-12—
5   Then Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and every intent of the thoughts of man's heart was only evil, continually.
11 The earth also was corrupt before Yahweh, and the earth was lawless, filled with violence.
12 So Yahweh looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

Revelation 9:20-21—
20 And the rest of the men who were not killed by these plagues, still did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and gods (elohim, teraphim) of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk;
21 Neither did they repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

 

The Prophet Isayah told the religions that the world is exactly what they have made it to be, by changing and breaking the Laws of Yahweh.

This evil and adulterous generation will not repent, so the wars and sickness will continue. Four months after the nuclear baby has killed a third part of man over a fourth part of the earth, the sun will be darkened and four-fifths of the earth's population will be dead.

     

Those who are left alive, who come out of the great tribulation, will be keeping the very Laws and Sabbaths that the religions refuse to keep at this time. They will be keeping the very Laws done away with by this major religion. These Laws will bring peace to what is left of the nations, according to the Prophet Isayah.

Isayah 2:4—
He will judge among the nations. Many people will be rebuked. They will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks; nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore.

Revelation 7:9, 14-15—
9   After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and with palm branches; taught to keep Yahweh's Feasts, in their hands;
14 And I said to him: Ruler, you know. And he said to me: These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made themselves white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore, they are before the throne of Yahweh, and serve Him day and night in His House. And He Who sits on the throne will dwell among them.

 

Verse 9 shows white robes which represent the righteousness of the saints.

Deuteronomy 6:1, 25—
1   Now these are the Laws, the statutes, and the judgments which Yahweh your Father has commanded me to teach you: so that you may observe them in the land you are crossing over to possess;
25 And it will be OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, if we observe to do all of this Law before Yahweh our Father, as He has commanded us.

Revelation 7:9—
After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and with palm branches; taught to keep Yahweh's Feasts, in their hands;

 

Notice what the palm branches represent.

Leviticus 23:39-40—
39 So on the Fifteenth Day of the Seventh Moon, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you must keep the Feast unto Yahweh for seven days. On the first day there shall be a Sabbath, and on the eighth day a Sabbath.
40 On the day before, you are to take choice fruit from the trees; pomegranates, and palm branches, leafy branches, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice in front of Yahweh your Father for seven days.

Nehemyah 8:15—
So they issued the following proclamation, and circulated it throughout all their cities and in Yerusalem: Go out to the hill country and bring in olive branches, pine branches, myrtle branches, palm branches, and branches of other leafy trees to build booths, just as it is written.

Zecharyah 14:16—
Then it will come to pass that everyone who survives of all the nations which came against The House of Yahweh at Abel and the priest who teaches peace, will also go up from year to year to worship their Heavenly Father, Yahweh of hosts, by keeping the Feasts at The House of Yahweh.

My Authority

Remember the Savior's words in:
Mattithyah 24:14—
And this message of the Kingdom will be preached to all the world by the one who bears witness to all nations; and then the end will come.

 

To the Catholic Priest who tried to discredit Yahweh's Work, since you quoted and seem to believe some of the Savior's words, I believe you should take stock in the rest of His writings as well. The Savior said this message would be preached.

      

The answer to your question, if indeed you do want an answer, is given by the Savior. I see there is great danger for you if you fail to accept the Savior's answer. Let's first look at your question. You said...

      "Just read the last line of the same Gospel passage: "But of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." If neither the angels nor the Son (insofar as he is man and not insofar as he is God) know the day or hour of the end, is it possible that a member of some sect or some religious fanatic would know and be authorized to announce it?"

 

The Savior gave you part of the answer in Mattithyah 24:14, showing that this message would be taken to all nations as a witness. This message, as you just read, is about the nuclear wars that will darken the sun and kill four-fifths of the earth's population. It's not just the message of the Temple being destroyed.

      

The Book of Revelation was not written until 96 A.D., twenty-six years after the Temple was destroyed, and it also shows this same great tribulation and the One authorizing the foretelling of these events. Notice the following Scriptures.

Revelation 11:1-2—
1   And there was given me a reed like a measuring rod. And the malak stood, saying: Rise, and measure the Temple of Yahweh, and the altar, and its confines; where they worship within.
2   But the court which is outside the Temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given to the Gentiles. And the holy city they will tread under foot three and one-half years.

 

History shows that the Temple has been built twice, enlarged once and destroyed twice but it has never been built without the outer court. Since the Temple was destroyed in 70 A.D. and the Book of Revelation was not given until 96 A.D., Revelation Chapter 11 cannot be speaking of the same Temple.

     

In this chapter, we see that Yahweh gave Yahshua the prophecies to instruct someone after 96 A.D. to measure the Temple, but this time, leave out the outer court.

     

In this month's issue of The Prophetic Word magazine we have included an article about this Temple and the plans to rebuild the Temple and why the outer court is left out. I urge you to read it. Study this prophecy, it's great and permitted by Great Yahweh and the Savior you now question.

     

But notice, someone is given the commission to show how the Temple will be rebuilt. That someone is shown to you by the Savior in the very next verses, and your question is answered.

Revelation 11:3-4—
3   And I will give to My Two Witnesses to perform their prophetic offices, and they will foretell events about the three and one-half years, those cast about with darkness.
4   These are, as it were, the two olive trees, and, as it were, the two lamps of the seven lamp lampstand, ministering for the Father in the earth.

 

This same issue contains an article about these Two Witnesses, who are brothers, and their work assigned by Yahweh. Study it closely, it's a great prophecy that is 99% fulfilled at this time.

     

Now I would like to show you more of the Savior's words.

     

The life of the Savior was prophesied, as is the Last Days' Work of Yahweh. In fact, there is no Work of Yahweh other than that prophesied. All others come by their own authority and are not of Yahweh.

Amosyah 3:6-7—
6   Will a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? Will iniquity fostered by religious imposters be taking place in a city, and Yahweh not also have a righteous work there?
7   Most assuredly Father Yahweh will have no work, other than the work that He has prophesied in advance by His servants the prophets.

 

The One called the Savior was foretold of in prophecy before He was born. Notice His words.

Yahchanan 5:31, 36—
31 If I alone testify in My behalf, My testimony is not valid.
36 But I have testimony even greater than that of Yahchanan: the works which the Father has given Me to finish—the same works that I do—they testify on My behalf that the Father has sent Me;

 

Remember what the Savior said about false religions.

Mattithyah 7:15-18—
15 Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17 Likewise, every righteous tree brings forth righteous fruit; but a tree of evil brings forth fruit of iniquity.
18 A righteous tree cannot bring forth fruit of iniquity, nor can a tree of evil bring forth fruits of righteousness.

 

The Savior fulfilled the prophecies written about Him. Therefore, His Works testified concerning His authority. An evil man could not have fulfilled the righteous Work of living without sin.

     

The Work of Yahweh in these Last Days will be the same, according to the prophecies written about Yahweh's chosen servant and the body of people he teaches and the Work they are doing. Now, let's look at:

Yahchanan 5:37-39, 46, 43—
37 And the Father Himself, Who has sent Me, testifies on My behalf. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His shape;
38 Nor do you have His word dwelling in you; you reject the Law and the Prophets, because Whom He has sent, Him you do not believe.
39 Search the Scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life—and these are they which testify of Me.
46 For had you believed Mosheh, you would have believed Me, for he wrote about Me.
43 I have come in My Father's Name, but you do not follow Me. Let another come in his own name; him you will follow in order to obey!

 

The same holds true for the Last Days' Work of Yahweh. If you do not believe all that the prophets have spoken, you will not be a part of Yahweh's Last Days' Work.

Luke 24:25, 27—
25 Then He said to them: O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
27 And beginning at Mosheh; the Law, and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

Yahchanan 6:29—
Yahshua answered, and said to them: This is the work of Yahweh: that you believe in Him Whom He has sent.

 

Remember this, you just read the words of the Savior. If you don't believe His words, you should not quote them. In so doing, you pretend to believe and He will surely hold you guilty if you do not obey.

      You also need to compare the Savior's words with those of the inspired apostles.

Hebrews 4:8-10, 4, 11—
8   Now Yahshua caused them to rest in obedience to the Law, spoken of by Yahweh in a day previously.
9   Therefore, there remains the keeping of the Sabbath to the people of Yahweh,
10 For he who has entered into His rest has also ceased from his own works, as Yahweh did from His.
4   For He spoke in a certain place of the Seventh Day, in this way: And Yahweh rested the Seventh Day from all His works.
11 Therefore, let us be zealous to enter into that rest, so that no one may fall after the same example of unbelief.

Hebrews 10: 21, 16, 26-27—
21 And having a High Priest over The House of Yahweh:
16 This is the covenant that I will renew with them after those days, says Yahweh: I will put My Laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them;
26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.

 

The Savior and His apostles kept Yahweh's holy Sabbaths, just like Yahweh, by resting on the seventh day, not the first day, which you switched. I know it was not you, personally, who changed the Laws but if you don't repent, you become as guilty as those who did. I suggest that you read our books, The Lost Faith of the Apostles and Prophets and The End, they are full of truth.

Back To My Authority

Just as the prophets foretold the Work of Yahshua the Messiah, Savior and now High Priest over The House of Yahweh, they also foretold of The House of Yahweh, the Last Days' Work, that was prophesied to be, and was actually, established in this generation.

     

Before you read the following articles, I want to make you aware of the Savior's words once again, concerning the place to worship. There is a reason for this. Yahweh chooses where to place His Name. This is the Law:
Deuteronomy 12:4-8—

4   You must not worship Yahweh your Father in such ways; Yahweh your Father is not a god (el).
5   But you are to seek the habitation of your Father; The House of Yahweh --the place which Yahweh your Father shall choose out of all your tribes to establish His Name --and there you must go.
6   There you must bring your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes, and special gifts you have vowed to give, your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks.
7   There, in front of Yahweh your Father, you and your families shall eat, and you shall rejoice in all that you have put your hand to do, because Yahweh your Father has blessed you.
8   You must not at all do as we are doing here this day --every man doing whatever is right in his own eyes--

 

This is the instruction from Yahshua.

Mattithyah 4:4—
But He answered, and said; It is written: Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh.

Deuteronomy 6:1, 7, 25—
1   Now these are the Laws, the statutes, and the judgments which Yahweh your Father has commanded me to teach you: so that you may observe them in the land you are crossing over to possess;
7   And you must teach them diligently to your children, and talk about them when you sit in your house, and when you walk on the road, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
25 And it will be our righteousness, if we observe to do all of this Law before Yahweh our Father, as He has commanded us.

 

If all religions would repent and start obeying Deuteronomy 6:1, 7, 25, the wars would stop. We would all have righteous Laws that we could agree on. That's peace!

     

Yahshua knew the prophecies. He knew He would be killed. He knew His disciples would do a work to preserve Book Two of The Book of Yahweh for the Last Days' Work. He knew they would be run out of Jerusalem and go back to Galilee, specifically to Abilene, Israyl to do this Work. They would then be killed and The House of Yahweh would disappear from memory. He also knew that Yahweh's Name would not be used again until what He called the last generation. Therefore, He said the following to His disciples.

Mattithyah 10:16—
Behold, I send you out like sheep in the midst of wolves; therefore, be as wise as serpents, and as harmless as doves.

 

What do wolves do to sheep? They injure and kill them. We have records of the deaths of eleven of the twelve disciples.

     

Yahchanan, who recorded the Book of Revelation, was taken as a prisoner to the Isle of Patmos; the exact circumstances of his death are unknown to this day.

The House of Yahweh became unknown to all nations for 1,900 years. But prophecy showed it would not be unknown forever. Yahweh said, "In the Last Days I will establish My House." The Savior called the Last Days, the last generation. The Savior also said that Yahweh's House would not be in the land of Israyl.

Yahchanan 4:21—
Yahshua said to her: Woman, believe Me: The hour comes when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain, nor in Yerusalem.

 

If not in Yahdah or Yerusalem, where then would it be? Yahweh said that it would be established in the Last Days, in the top nation of all nations. One prophet was inspired to write that it would be in a Babylonish land not yet established. Another prophet said that Yahweh's House would teach Yahweh's Laws and as a result of that, about two billion people would come out of the great tribulation and would beat their weapons of war into farming equipment and they would learn war no more. Another prophet said to remember the Laws of Mosheh, because they will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers. Another said, hold back the wars of the great tribulation until Yahweh's people are sealed. Another said, "seal the Law among My disciples."

Isayah 8:16, 20—
16 Bind up the Prophecy; seal the Law among My disciples.
20 To the Law and to the Prophecy: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

 

All of these prophecies, and many more, were inspired by Yahweh Who testifies to the authority that He gave His House.

      I noticed in your commentary that you used the following Scriptures.

Hebrews 10:11-12—
11 And every priest stands daily, ministering and offering again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins;
12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of Yahweh,

 

I draw your attention a little further down to:
Hebrews 10:16—
This is the covenant that I will renew with them after those days, says Yahweh: I will put My Laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them.

 

Hebrews 10:16 shows the reason Yahshua holds the position of being at the right hand of Yahweh, renewing Yahweh's wonderful covenant once again in the re-established House of Yahweh.

Hebrews 10:21—
And having a High Priest over The House of Yahweh:

 

Compare that to:
Revelation 3:7-13—
7   And to the priests of the congregation of The House of Yahweh at Abel, write: These things says He Who is holy, He Who is true, He Who has the key of David, He Who opens and no man shuts, and shuts and no man opens:
8   I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it; for you have a little strength, and have kept My word, and have not denied My Name.
9   Behold, I give out of those of the assemblage of the accuser--who preach themselves to be those who worship Yahweh, and they are not, but they attempt to deceive by falsehood—behold, I will appoint them for the purpose of worshiping in the presence of your footstool, and they will understand that I loved you.
10 Because you have kept My Laws and the words of My Prophets, which purify you, I also willprotect you from the time of the sentence of death, the carrying out of the sentence of death, oppression, affliction, wrong, suffering, violence, outrage, and rape, which will come upon all the world, to test (prove a point to) those who dwell upon the earth.
11 Behold, I come quickly! Hold fast that which you have, that no man take your crown.
12 He who overcomes, I will make a pillar in The House of My Father, and he will never go out of it. And I will write upon him the Name of My Father, and the Name of the Yahweh Shammah which comes down out of heaven from My Father, newly named.
13 He who hears Yahweh's call and obeys it, let him learn the Word of Yahweh that is taught to the called out ones of The House of Yahweh.

 

I remind you again that the Book of Revelation was not written until 96 A.D. and the Temple was destroyed in 70 A.D.; yet, the great tribulation is shown to be in the future.

     

Yahshua holds, as the first begotten Son of Yahweh, this right hand position. He is and always will be the highest, under Yahweh. We, the re-established House of Yahweh, are taking this Message of the Kingdom of Yahweh to all the world in this time of the end, known to all the prophets as the last time (a period of 3½ years). 

We have, set by Yahweh through our High Priest Yahshua, an open door to Yahshua for the purpose of accomplishing this Work.

     

You also used the words of the Prophet Daniyl in your commentary:
Daniyl 12:1-3—
1   And at that time will come that great, perfect government based upon perfect Laws, that will save the children of Your people; and there will be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation to that time. And at that time your people will be saved, everyone who will be found written in the Book of life.
2   And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake; some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3   And those who are wise will shine as the brightness of the heavens; and those who turn many to righteousness, as the stars forever and ever.

 

I beg you to carefully read verse 3. These verses are speaking of the great tribulation that Yahshua spoke of, and verse 3 is speaking of turning people to righteousness. Righteousness is obedience to Yahweh's Laws.

Deuteronomy 6:25—
And it will be our righteousness, if we observe to do all of this Law before Yahweh our Father, as He has commanded us.

 

The Savior showed the same thing.

Mattithyah 19:17—
But He said to him: Why do you question Me about righteousness? There is only One Who is the standard of perfection, and that is Yahweh; so if you would enter into life, keep the Laws of Yahweh.

 

These righteous Laws are the same Laws that you have changed and are still rebelling against to this very day. You say you have the right to change them but the inspired Words of Yahweh say that you do not. Therefore the curses, spoken by Yahshua the Savior, are upon you and all of your followers.

Yaaqob 4:12—
There is One Lawgiver, Who is able to save and to destroy—who are you who condemns another?

Revelation 22:18-19—
18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this Book: If any man will add to these things, it will come to pass that he will add to himself the plagues that are written in this Book:
19 And if any man will take away from the words of the Book of this prophecy, it will come to pass that he will take away his part out of The Book of Life, and out of Yahweh Shammah, and from the things which are written in this Book.

 

Notice again while you are in this book.

Revelation 22:12-16—
12 And behold, I come quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work will be.
13 I am the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14 Blessed are those who keep His Laws, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and worshipers of gods (elohim) and everyone who professes to love, yet practices breaking the Law.
16 I, Yahshua, have sent My malak to testify to you these things in the congregations of The House of Yahweh. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the Bright and Morning Star.

 

The words in Daniyl 12:1-3 are speaking to The House of Yahweh. They were sealed for this time period, the time of the end, but only until the time of the end.

Daniyl 12:4—
But you, O Daniyl, shut up the words, and seal the book to the time of the end; many will run to and fro, and knowledge will be increased.

 

Now notice, for the time of the end, what Daniyl saw.

Daniyl 12:5—
Then I, Daniyl, looked; and behold, there stood two others, one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.

 

Who are these two? They are two brothers called Two Witnesses in Isayah 44 and Revelation 11. Notice from where their authority comes.

Revelation 11:1-4—
1   And there was given me a reed like a measuring rod. And the malak stood, saying: Rise, and measure the Temple of Yahweh, and the altar, and its confines; where they worship within.
2   But the court which is outside the Temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given to the Gentiles. And the holy city they will tread under foot three and one-half years.
3   And I will give to My Two Witnesses to perform their prophetic offices, and they will foretell events about the three and one-half years, those cast about with darkness.
4   These are, as it were, the two olive trees, and, as it were, the two lamps of the seven lamp lampstand, ministering for the Father in the earth.

 

Now notice what Daniyl said they would be doing.

Daniyl 12:6-10—
6   And one said to the man clothed in linen, who on that future day is teaching: How long will it be to the end of these wonders?
7   Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who on that future day is teaching, when he held up his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and vowed by Him Who lives forever, that: It will be for a time, times, and a half, when Yahweh will have accomplished pouring out His power through His holy people, all these things will be finished.
8   So I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said; O my ruler, what will be the end of these things?
9   But he said: Go your way, Daniyl, for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.
10 Many will be purified, and made white, and tried; tested; but the wicked will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but the wise will understand.

 

Now to your question once again.

"Just read the last line of the same Gospel passage: "But of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." If neither the angels nor the Son (insofar as he is man and not insofar as he is God) know the day or hour of the end, is it possible that a member of some sect or some religious fanatic would know and be authorized to announce it?"

 

Your answer, straight from Yahweh through Yahshua, is yes! Yes, with Yahweh all things are possible. In fact, it is prophesied in your Bible, which is said better in The Book of Yahweh.

 
May Yahweh bless your understanding.
Love, true love, in Yahshua's Name,

The Two Witnesses

In almost all the prophecies referring to the Last Days, Yahweh inspired His prophets of old to write about Two Witnesses. We must understand what a witness is, in order to understand that Yahweh's Two Witnesses have fulfilled the prophecies written about them for these Last Days.

First, let us understand that the only way one could possibly know for certain that Yahshua was the true Messiah during the time He walked the earth, was the fact that he fulfilled the prophecies spoken and written about the true Messiah.

Today, let us understand that the only way one can possibly know for certain that two particular men are Yahweh's Two Witnesses, is the fact that they must also fulfill the prophecies spoken and written about them.

From Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, we find the following definition of the word witness.

1wit-ness n [ME witnesse, fr. OE witnes knowledge, testimony, witness, fr. wit intelligence] 1: attestation of a fact or event: testimony 2: one that gives evidence; specif: one who testifies in a cause or before a judicial tribunal 3: one asked to be present at a transaction so as to be able to testify to its having taken place 4: one who has personal knowledge of something 5 a: something serving as evidence or proof: sign

2witness vt 1: to testify to: attest 2: to act as legal witness of 3: to furnish proof of: betoken 4 a: to have personal or direct cognizance of: see for oneself

 

The Laws of Yahweh, written in Deuteronomy 17:6 and Deuteronomy 19:15, require two witnesses to establish legal evidence. Yahshua Messiah also used that precedent when He gave instructions to the called out ones.

Mattithyah 18:16—
But if he will not listen, then take one or two more with you, so that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

 

Reading from The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, Volume Four, page 1086, we find the following information.

WITNESS. A noun and verb used by the RSV almost two hundred times in reference to attestation of a fact or event by a human, divine being or by an inanimate object.
The practice of requiring two or three witnesses to establish evidence is enjoined in Dt. 19:15 (cf. 17:6; Mt. 18:16; Jn. 8:17; 2 Cor. 13:1; 1 Tim. 5:19; He. 10:28).

 

From The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, Volume Three, page 558, we find that the number two is the number associated with the theme of witness.

B. Two. This number is associated both with unity and with division or contrast. Examples of division are the alternatives implied in Elijah's taunt, "How long will you go limping with two different opinions?" (1K. 18:21). There are the "two ways" of Mt. 7:13f. (cf. Mt. 6:24; 21:28-32).
As a symbol of unity. two describes the unity of man and woman (Gen. 2:20, 24), the pairs of animals entering the ark (7:8f.), the two tablets of the law at Mt. Sinai (Ex. 32:15), and the pairs of disciples sent out by Christ (Mk. 6:7; Lk. 10:1). In Gen. 22:6, 8 Abraham and Isaac went "both of them together" in a poignant reference to their unity in spite of the coming sacrifice. A separate and common use of the number two arises out of the Hebrew legal tradition that there must be two witnesses to contribute adequate evidence in a court proceeding (Nu. 35:30; Dt. 17:6; 19:15). Thus two is the number associated with the theme of witness. Several other NT. references indicate this need for two witnesses (Mt. 18:16; 2 Cor. 13:1; 1 Tim. 5:19). The two unnamed witnesses in Rev. 11:3-12 seem to represent the Law and the Prophets...

 

The fact is, there must, according to Scripture, be Two Witnesses for these Last Days, just as there were in the days of Yahchanan and Yahshua Messiah, Mosheh and Aaron, and Isayah and Micahyah.

Yahweh Names His Two Witnesses

The Prophet Isayah had much to say about the Last Days and about the group of people who would be the seed and offspring of the Two Witnesses. But not only this, the Prophet Isayah also gave us the names of the Two Witnesses.

Isayah 44:1-2—
1 Yet now hear, O Yaaqob My servant, and Yisrayl whom I have
