Meet the Antichrist Part Twelve:
The Sign of the End of the Age

The Sign of the End of the Age

We began this study by considering the question the disciples asked Master Y'shua in Matthew 24:

Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age?

Still Master Y'shua has not answered this primary question.

Now the Master gives the most important sign of all:

Matt 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

To understand this vital prophesy we return once more to the Prophet Daniel and his dream. We briefly discussed this dream earlier in this study.

In the short-term interpretation of this dream, the imagery of a great tree is used to represent the Babylonian Empire and its ruler Nebuchadnezzar. In its deeper meaning, this mighty tree is Israel, the nation destined to bless the world and restore the global paradise.

On Friday May 14, 1948, Israel was declared an independent nation. At this point, or in 1967, Israel "put forth leaves" and the Time of the End began. Prophetically speaking, this period either began in 1948 with the establishment of the government of Israel or in 1967 with Zion, Jerusalem, was returned to the Jewish people.

We who are alive in this generation, who are witnessing these things right before our very eyes, desperately need to keep our 'lamps ready' (Matt 25), because once this event took place, "...This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." HaShem has determined that the time has now come for the Tree of Israel to be reborn! Israel is the KEY to understanding the Bible.

With the establishment of Israel and the return of the Jews to Zion we entered into the End of Days in earnest. At that time the Nicean Church began losing it position, its branches began to be "severed" from the Tree of Israel as Israel began to sprout leaves and bud. This Church is not fully cut off at this point and the Jews are not fully re-established, but this process is well on it way.

We know from Master Y'shua himself that the Christian branches that were temporarily grafted onto the Tree of Israel during the Church Age are doing exactly what Paul warned against here. He also tells what the Nicolaitanes will face as a result:

Revelations 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans [the Nicean/Nicolaitane Church of the Last Days] write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

Again Prophet Paul says:

Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery [i.e. the mystery of God's dealings with his Chosen People, the Jews], lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in [emphasis mine].

And again,

Luke 21:24 And they [i.e. those who love God, especially but not only the Jews] shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled [emphasis mine].

These Times of the Gentiles are almost up. The Messianic Age will soon begin.

Romans 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion [ie Zion: Jerusalem] the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

When Israel was reestablished as a nation in 1948 (or in 1967 when Jerusalem was regained) this purificatory process began in earnest. Today the Laodecian, Nicean/Nicolaitane Church is being purged form the House of HaShem. Individual lukewarm Nicolaitanes, congregations and even entire denominations are being vomited out (Rev. 3:15-20) or "severed" from the House of God. In many cases this severing is taking place because of their opposition to Israel.

As it was in the beginning...

Gen 12:2,3 ...I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee...

So is it now in the End of Days.

Once Israel is purified through the fires of the seven year tribulation period, the Moshiach will come out of Zion, Jerusalem. This is one reason the New World Order Elite are so determined to divide and destroy Jewish Jerusalem. They know what's going on and their plan is to thwart the prophecies and establish the reign of the Luciferian Rex Mundi.

The Nicean/Nicolaitane Church even now is being spewed out of God's mouth pieces at a time as individuals and entire denominations turn their backs on the Word of God and the Jewish people. The eternally Chosen People, facing enemies on every side, are gradually being drawn closer and closer to HaShem. Under the coming torments of the seven year tribulation the Jews, as a people, will cry out to HaShem for the Moshiach and then,

Matt 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

To save the Jews the Seven Years will be shortened and "all of Israel will be saved" (Rom. 11:26)

Matt 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth
