Essay Concerning the Jewish Temple

1. Essay Henry Patino
Part 2- Messianic Expectations of the Second Temple Jews
Modern Jews reject the claim of Yeshua as their Messiah mainly on the basis that He was not
functioning in the capacity of the political deliverer that is so clearly attested by some of the
prophecies describing the Messiah within the Hebrew Scripture.
But it must be duly noted that this unilateral expectation was not the unified consensus of all of
the Jews living at the time of Yeshua. The Sadducees, having been thoroughly Hellenized, did not
expect any form of miraculous deliverance from a Messiah. Obviously, the Jews that comprised
the fourth group, also originally called ‘The Way’ and later called Christians, understood the dual
nature of the tasks set before the Messiah, but they were not alone. The Essenes also
understood this dual capacity of the Messiah very thoroughly.
Thus, the Second Temple Jews were divided in this aspect and the modern stance of the Jewish
religion that presently claims to represent the view of the Hebrew people in entirety, actually
only represents a fraction of the viewpoint of the Second Temple Jews living at that time. They,
literally, only represent the view of the sect of the Pharisees. Both the Essenes and the
Christians, who were initially completely comprised of Jews, understood the dual nature of the
ministry assigned to the Messiah by the Hebrew Scriptures and this is thoroughly attested by the
Dead Sea Scrolls.
3- The Dual Messiahs of the Dead Sea Scrolls
As these Second Temple Jews poured over the prophecies regarding the Messiah, they were
aware that some of the prophecies seemed to depict the Messiah as a Suffering Savior (The
Lamb), while others depicted Him as a Conquering Deliverer (The Lion).
In trying to make sense of these two diametrically opposing descriptions of the Messiah, the
Essenes concluded that the Scriptures were referring to two separate Messiah’s. These they
labeled as the Priestly (Aaron) Messiah and the Messiah of Yisra’el (military).

2. “They shall govern themselves using the original precepts by which the men of the Yahad began
to be instructed, doing so until there comes the Prophet (Elijah) and the Messiahs of Aaron and
Yisra’el.”
(IQS 4Q 255-264a, 5Q II, Column 9 vs. 10 The Charter of a Jewish Sectarian Association)
(Emphasis and parenthesis mine)
The ‘Prophet’ referred to in this manuscript is clearly the forerunner of the Messiah referred to
in the Tanakh, which shall prepare the Way for the Lord, for the sun of righteousness with
healing on his wings.
“Behold, I will send you Eliyya, the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of
the Lord: and he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children
to their fathers, lest I come and smite the land with a curse.” (Mal’Akhi/ Malachi 3:23, 24 from
the Yerushalayim Tanakh)
The ‘Messiahs’ in plural, refer to two separate individuals. The first is the Messiah of Aaron,
whom they label as the priestly Messiah and the second is the Messiah of Yisra’el, whom they
label as the national or military Messiah.
So, the rejection, by the politically entrenched Pharisees, of Yeshua as the Messiah, predicated
on the rationalization that He did not deliver them politically, is founded on their erroneous
premise that Yeshua must have been exclusively the political deliverer to be the Messiah. That is,
that the Messiah’s ministry did not entail the aspects, which the Essenes assigned to the Priestly
Messiah; the ministry of the spiritual deliverance. This is clearly shown to be a false expectation,
through an analysis of the total prophecies contained within the Hebrew Scriptures in this
regard.
Not as explained by Christians today, but by the interpretation of fellow Jews that were alive and
living at that time; that is, the Second Temple Jews that comprised the Essene group. There is no
way to avoid the verses that refer to the Messiah as the Suffering Savior, as well as the
Conquering Savior. As far as the skeptical and liberal minded Sadducees are concerned, it is
more likely that their underlying motive to reject Yeshua was to maintain the political and
financial control over Yisra’el that they had managed to attain from their captors, serving as
their political puppets.

3. In addition to this dual Messiah concept, which understandably was not well comprehended by
Jews prior to the revelation of Yeshua, as being fulfilled through two separate events by the
same individual, there is an even more graphic sentiment clearly written in black and white for
all to see that corroborates the claims of Yeshua. I am speaking, of the fact that the Jews of that
time period did understand that the Messiah would be the Son of God. As stated earlier, one of
the major objections that modern Jews make to Yeshua is this very issue.
In the following passage from the manuscript called “The Charter for Yisra’el in the Last Days” it
is specifically stated that God “fathered the Messiah”. The verb ‘fathered’ is ‘holib’ in the
Hebrew, the very same verb used in the biblical passages where the countless begetting verses
are found.
“The procedure for the meeting of the men of reputation when they are called to the banquet
held by the society of the Yahad, when God has fathered the Messiah, (Or when the Messiah has
been revealed) among them: the Priest as head of the entire congregation of Yisra’el shall enter
first trailed by all his brothers, the Sons of Aaron, those priests appointed to the banquet of the
men of reputation. They are to sit before Him by rank. Then the Messiah of Yisra’el may enter
and the heads of the thousands of Yisra’el are to sit before Him by rank as determined by each
man’s commission in their camps and campaigns. Last, all the heads of the congregations’ clans
together with their wise and knowledgeable men shall sit before Them by rank.”(The Charter for
Yisra’el in the Last Days, The Dead Sea Scrolls, Column 2 vs. 11- 17a) The Dead Sea Scrolls, Wise,
Abeg and Cook, Harper Collins Publishers, 1996, pg. 144) (Emphasis mine)
Here we see that they clearly and unmistakably understood the Messiah to be ‘fathered by God’.
The Priestly Messiah would have the priests ‘sons of Aaron sitting in front of Him, and the
military commanders (the heads of the thousands of Yisra’el) along with the heads of the clans
and the wise men, would sit in front of the Messiah of Yisra’el (Military Messiah), so that “all the
heads of the congregations’ clans, together with the wise and knowledgeable men shall sit
before Them by rank.” The term “Them,” then refers to the two Messiahs.
This acknowledgement of the two separate functions of the Messiah is not lightly treated, since
it is found in several manuscripts, and their functions are clearly delineated. For example, in the
“War of the Messiah” we find a royal description of the Messiah of Yisra’el waging war on the
Gentile Nations. On the other hand in the manuscript “Redemption and Resurrection” (4Q521)
we find a description of the Priestly Messiah lacking any military exploits or Royal vestige.
Instead, we find a remarkable description of the Priestly Messiah, which if I did not know better,
would have sworn it came from the New Testament.

4. “For the heavens and the earth shall listen to His Messiah and all which is in them shall not turn
away from the Commandments of the Holy Ones. (plural)
Strengthen yourselves, O you who seek the Lord in His service.
Will you not find the Lord in this, all those who hope in their heart? For the Lord seeks the pious
and calls the righteous by name. Over the humble His Spirit hovers and He renews the faithful in
His strength. For He will honor the pious upon the throne of His eternal Kingdom, setting
prisoners free, opening the eyes of the blind, raising up those who are bowed down. And
forever…I … shall hold fast to the hopeful and pious… shall not be delayed… and the Lord shall
do glorious things, which have not been done, just as He said. For He shall heal the critically
wounded, He shall revive the dead, He shall send good news to the afflicted, He shall… the… He
shall lead the… and the hungry He shall enrich… and …” (The Dead Sea Scrolls, the Redemption
and Resurrection manuscript, Fragment 2 and Fragment 4 Column 2 vs. 1-14) (Emphasis and
parenthesis mine)
(Note that the ‘…’ are placed where the words in the original manuscript are either missing or so
badly damaged as to prevent proper interpretation)
“Those who do good before the Lord shall bless… and not as those who curse. They shall be
destined to die, when the One who revives raises the dead of His people.
Then we shall give thanks and relate to you the righteous acts of the Lord that… those destined
to die.
And He shall open graves … and… and…so commit…your works… and a bridge of… the
accursed shall be little esteemed (?)… and the heavens shall meet… and all the angels…” (The
Dead Sea Scrolls, the Redemption and Resurrection manuscript, Fragment 5 and Fragment 7,
Column 2 vs. 1- 15) (Emphasis mine)
Clearly the Essenes as contemporary Jews to the time of Yeshua, understood from the Tanakh
that the Messiah would resurrect the dead, perform miracles of healing, give sight to the blind,
set the prisoners free, open the graves in resurrecting all the believers that had previously died,
cure the lame and preach to the poor and hungry. Compare these sentiments with the following
New Testament passages, which describe the ministry of Yeshua:

5. “Now when John (He was the Elijah for Yeshua) in prison heard of the works of Yeshua, he sent
word by his disciples, and said to Him, ‘Are you the Expected One, or shall we look for someone
else?’
And Yeshua answered and said to them. ‘Go and report to John what you hear and see: the blind
receive sight and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear and the dead are
raised up and the poor have the gospel preached unto them. And blessed is he who keeps from
stumbling over Me’.” (Matthew 11: 2-6) (Emphasis and parenthesis mine)
But, the Essenes did not invent this for these sentiments come from the Tanakh:
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me to bring good news to the afflicted: He has sent Me to
build up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners; to proclaim
the favorable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn.”
(Isaiah 61:1, 2) (Emphasis mine)
The New Testament records the fact that after the crucifixion many of the graves in Yisra’el were
opened. Believers that had died appeared to many confirming the first resurrection. But, there
will be another resurrection when He returns for the Second Coming and then He shall comfort
all who mourn. The statement that Yeshua made in regards to ‘stumbling over’ Him is referring
to the prophecy of Isaiah in which he predicted that the Lord would first be a stumbling block to
the house of Yisra’el and then later be a sanctuary.
“It is the Lord of Hosts whom you shall regard as holy. And He shall be your fear, and He shall be
your dread. Then He shall become a sanctuary.
But, to both houses of Yisra’el, a stone to strike, and a rock to stumble over.”(Isaiah 8:13, 14a)
“And he shall be a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the
houses of Yisra’el, for a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Yerushalayim. And many
among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared and be taken.
Bind up the testimony, seal the Tora among my disciples. And I will wait upon the Lord, that
hides his face from the house of Ya’aqov, and I will hope for him.” (Yesha’Yahu/ Isaiah 8: 14-17
from the Yerushalayim Tanakh) (Emphasis mine)

6. And so Isaiah warned us that although He would be a sanctuary, He would also be a stumbling
block and a rock of offence to both houses of Yisra’el. Many have stumbled and fallen, many
have been trapped and snared and many have consequently been broken against the Rock of
offence. Do not strike the Rock that gives forth water for the thirsty and life for the parched. He
has come to you, as a Suffering Savior, and shall return to you, as the Conquering Champion to
provide a place of sanctuary under the eagle’s wings.
When Yeshua, nailed upon the cross of His own volition, gave up His Spirit, He ended the three-
year ministry that had begun, when He was baptized in front of John the Baptist in the River
Jordan. John was the prophet forerunner crying in the wilderness that came to prepare the Way
for the Lord, which was spoken of by Malachi.
He was not Elijah, but was like Elijah. Now the Pharisees confronted John in order that they
might find some fault to blame him with.
“And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from
Yerushalayim to ask him, ‘Who are you?’
And he confessed, and did not deny, and he confessed, ‘I am not the Messiah.’
And they asked him, ‘What then? Are you Elijah?’ And he said , ‘I am not.’
‘Are you the Prophet?’ And he answered, ‘No.’
They said then to him, ‘Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us?
What do you say about yourself?’
He said, ‘I am a voice of one crying in the wilderness, “Make straight the way of the Lord.” as
Isaiah, the prophet said.’
Now they had been sent from the Pharisees. And they asked him, and said to him, ‘Why then are
you baptizing, if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?’
John answered them saying, ‘I baptize in water, but among you stands One whom you do not
know.
It is He who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.’

7. These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
The next day he saw Yeshua coming to him and said, ‘Behold the Lamb of God who takes away
the sin of the world!
This is He on behalf of whom I said, “After me comes a man who has a higher rank than I, for He
existed before me.”
And I did not recognize Him, but in order that He might be manifested to Yisra’el, I came
baptizing in water.’
And John bore witness saying, ‘I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and
He remained upon Him.
And I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, “He upon whom
you see the Spirit descending and remains upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy
Spirit.”
And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.’” (John 1: 19-34)
Now, it was customary for all Jews to baptize before entering into the Temple for it was a
requirement that one should be clean when entering into the house of God. But John preached a
baptism that symbolized not outward cleanliness, but spiritual cleanliness. And so he taught the
Jews of his day to repent and make themselves ready for the coming of the Anointed One.
(Matthew 3:11)
The water of the Jordan then represented death and the submersion would indicate that the
individual baptized was overcome by this death. But when he arose from the water it is the
equivalent of the crossing of the River Jordan; the stepping forth from the death of the
wilderness to the entrance into the new life of the Promised Land.
And so Yeshua came first to provide, not the physical cleansing of our earth, but the spiritual
cleansing, through His sacrifice as the Lamb of God. And so He offers for those who receive Him
as Savior the baptism of the Holy Spirit. For when we come to Him in simple faith, His grace
becomes sufficient through the atonement that was made upon the cross. The moment we
come to Him in faith believing, His Spirit comes into us and we cross into the spiritual Promised
Land. Such is the wonder of the boundless grace of God.

8. Not all the Pharisees were against Him for some truly sought the truth and so we find that one
of the Pharisees named, Nicodemus came to Yeshua by night, for he was afraid of being seen in
the daylight.
“Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; this man came
to Him by night, and said to Him, ‘Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as a teacher;
for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.’
Yeshua answered and said to him, ‘Truly, truly, I say unto you, unless one is born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God.’
Nicodemus said to Him, ‘How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time
into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?’
Yeshua answered, ‘Truly, truly, I say unto you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he
cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Do not marvel that I say to you, “You must be born again.”
The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes
from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.’
Nicodemus answered and said to Him, ‘How can these things be?’” (John 3: 1-9)
There are two births and two deaths. The first birth is physical and the second birth is spiritual.
But, there are also two deaths. The first death is physical and the second death is spiritual.
Those who are born twice, die once. But those who are born once, die twice.
Now, Yeshua spoke of the spiritual birth, which Ezekiel had prophesied would come to Yisra’el,
when the Spirit of God would be given for all to possess. Prior to this point the Spirit of God
would come upon believers for a finite period of time and then depart. But after this point, He
would come to indwell the believers permanently.
“Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean: from all your uncleannesses,
and from all your idols, will cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I

9. put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart
of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to follow my statues and you shall
keep my judgments and do them.” (Yehezqel/ Ezekiel 36: 25, 26, 27 from the Yerushalayim
Tanakh)
The prophet Joel also saw his day and he understood that God’s Spirit would come to all men
and not just the House of Yisra’el. For redemption has come to mankind through Yisra’el.
“And it will come to pass afterwards, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons
and your daughters shall prophesy; your old men shall dream dreams, your younger men shall
see visions: and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days shall I pour out
my spirit.” (Yo’el/ Joel 3: 1,2 from the Yerushalayim Tanakh) (Emphasis mine)
And so Yeshua continued to explain this to Nicodemus:
“If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how shall you believe if I tell you heavenly
things?
And no one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven, even the Son of
Man.
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up;
that whosoever believes may in Him have eternal life.
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him
should not perish, but have eternal life.
For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be
saved by Him.
He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because
he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” (John 3: 12- 18) (Emphasis
mine)
And so when Yisra’el was in the wilderness, they were plagued by venomous serpents, for they
had spoken against the Lord in disbelief. So they came to Moses in repentance and the Lord told
him to make a standard of wood with a serpent of brass upon it. Those who in faith looked up to

10. the serpent hanging on the pole were cured from its lethal consequence by their faith. Those
who did not, died from the venom. (Bemidbar/ Numbers 21:6,7,8,9)
And so the brass serpent, which is the symbol of Satan, was hung on a wooden pole and this
symbolized the sins of the world that would be carried on the back of the Son of Man, when He
was hung on a wooden pole as the Lamb of God sacrificed for the atonement of our sins.
Thus, God’s love and mercy were such that He first sent His only begotten Son to save us from
our sins. And this salvation has been made available to all, if we believe in Him. Those who
believe are saved by faith and those who do not believe stand condemned already for their sins
are not atoned.
Therefore, the spiritual birth prophesied by Yehezqel cleanses us from all uncleannesses and
gives to us eternal life through the marvelous grace of our loving Father, who gave His only
begotten Son to die in our stead. But, the second coming shall be to judge the world.
Now, when Yeshua gave up His spirit, He cried out “It is finished” for at that moment redemption
was complete and the dividing veil that separated the Holy of Holies of the Second Temple from
the Holy Place was torn in half. This symbolized two things: first of all the fact that God would no
longer be there in the Second Temple. The Shekhinah Glory would not appear in a temple that
had been profaned, for Yeshua was the Living Ark. Their rejection of the Messiah sealed their
judgment, the destruction of Yerushalayim, the Temple and then the dread Diaspora. Secondly, it
symbolized that man and God would no longer need to be separated by this veil that covered
the Holy Sanctuary of God, for the sin that separated us was atoned by the blood of the Lamb of
God.
Hence, He shall return to dwell with man bodily in the Third Temple of God, for redemption has
been paid in full for the transgression in the Garden of Eden.
Behold, Yisra’el, He will be coming back to be the sanctuary of Yisra’el.
“And Yeshua cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up His Spirit.
And behold the veil of the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom, and the earth shook, and
the rocks were split, and the tombs were opened and many bodies of the saints who had fallen
asleep were raised, and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the Holy
City and appeared to many.” (Matthew 27: 50 – 53) (Emphasis Mine)

11. And so we see that Yeshua met all of the messianic elements found in the manuscripts of the
Essenes as the expectations of the Priestly Messiah, and more importantly of the Hebrew
Tanakh, during His First Coming and He shall fulfill all the expectations of the Military Messiah in
His Second Coming.
Now, prior to His appointed death, while He was teaching through Yisra’el, Yeshua entered into
a synagogue on the Sabbath and taught on the very same passage from the prophet Isaiah
(Isaiah 61), which we quoted earlier, referring to the Messiah. I here quote the passage again to
refresh your memory:
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me to bring good news to the afflicted: He has sent Me to
build up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners; to proclaim
the favorable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn.”
(Isaiah 61:1,2) (Emphasis mine)
The event is recorded in the New Testament, but, intentionally, He did not read the last part of
the verse, which I have highlighted and which deals with the day of vengeance. And when He
had finished reading the incomplete verse He sat down and plainly said, ‘This day this scripture
has been fulfilled in your hearing’.
“’The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor.
He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free
those who are downtrodden, to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord’
And He closed the book and gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all the
synagogue were fixed upon Him.
And He began to say to them, ‘This day this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing’.” (Luke
4: 20, 21) (Emphasis mine)
But, here is the interesting thing about the passage that He read. In quoting Isaiah 61, he
covered the verses only, which referred to His First Coming. That is, He described the ministry of
the Priestly Messiah, the Suffering Savior, the Lamb and His pastoral task. He stopped exactly at
the point where the messianic role of the Conquering, Military, Messiah of Yisra’el was
discussed.

12. Here, Yeshua was hinting to us that there were two roles for the Messiah, giving us the
unmistakable division of the two Comings of the Messiah. The rest of that prophetic message,
which refers to His Second Coming, reads as follows:
“and the Day of Vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, to grant hose who mourn in
Zion, giving them a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of the spirit of fainting,
so they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord that He may be glorified.
Then they will rebuild the ancient ruins they will raise up the former devastations, and they will
repair the ruin cities, the desolations of many generations. And strangers will stand and pasture
your flocks, and foreigners will be your farmers and your winedressers.
But you will be called the priests of the Lord, you will be spoken of as ministers of our God.
You will eat the wealth of nations, and in the riches you will boast.
Instead of your shame you will have a double portion, and instead of humiliation, they will shout
for joy over their portion. Therefore, they will possess a double portion in their land, everlasting
joy will be theirs.” (Isaiah 61: 2b – 7) (Emphasis mine)
There are three key phrases in this prophecy from Isaiah that allow us to place this prophecy at
the Second Coming of the Lord. (I shall number these as: a, b, c.)
a- First is the phrase, ‘The Day of Vengeance’, which describes the time in which the Gentile
nations gather against Yerushalayim to annihilate the Chosen People from the planet. For at this
appointed time the Lord returns as the Messiah of Yisra’el, as the Lion of Judah, as the Military
Messiah and wipes them off the face of the earth. Here is when He comes to judge the world.
Just as the serpent was first lifted up in the wilderness to offer salvation to those who believe,
He was first offered up as a sweet sacrifice to God for the remission of our sins. But, the time of
the judgment for the Gentiles came later in the battle of Jericho, after crossing the River Jordan.
So shall it be.
The Conquering Messiah shall come from the east, dressed in His priestly garb stained by the
blood of His sacrifice on the Day of Vengeance.

13. “Who is this who comes from Edom, with garments of glowing colors from Bozrah, this One who
is majestic in His apparel, marching in the greatness of His strength?
‘It is I who speak in righteousness mighty to save.’
Why is your apparel red, and your garments like one who treads in the wine press?
‘I have trodden the wine trough alone, and from the peoples there was no man with Me. I also
trod them in My anger, and trampled them in MY wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled on My
garments, and I stained all my raiment. For the Day of Vengeance was in My heart, and My year
of redemption has come. And I looked, and there was no one to help, and I was astonished and
there was no one to uphold; so My own arm brought salvation to Me; and My wrath upheld Me.
And I trod down the peoples in My anger, and made them drunk in My wrath, and I poured out
their lifeblood on the earth.” (Isaiah 64:1- 6) (Emphasis mine)
Now, there are alternate phrases that describe this period, ‘The Day of the Lord’, ‘The Day of
Wrath’, and the “Day of Indignation.”
“Therefore wait for me, says the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my
determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them
my indignation, all my fierce anger; for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my
jealousy.” (Zefanya/ Zephaniah 3: 8 from the Yerushalayim Tanakh)
It should not surprise us that Satan has a counterfeit day that mimics this Day of the Lord; it is
called in occult circles, “The Great Day Be With Us”. This will be a day in which millions around
the world will be initiated into the occult, a mass initiation heralding the beginning of a New
World Order. Millions will become demon possessed thinking they are evolving into a higher
level of human evolution; into what the occult term as the “spiritual man, the divine man, the
celestial man”. They will blindly follow their “Spiritual Masters”, not knowing that they are
again being deceived in following the ancient Baals. For Baal means master and Satan has not
changed.
The Prince of the North will step into the Temple of God in Yerushalayim, which will have been
rebuilt by this time, and claim that he is God. This is the abomination that causes desolation
spoken of by Daniel the prophet. Hear now a word to the wise, for it will happen when Aquarius
is rising over the Spring Equinox and Mars aligns with Jupiter.

14. This transgression by the Prince of the North will trigger the beginning of the end of Satan’s
dominion. The sun will be darkened and the moon will turn red as blood, a symbol of the
rejection of God and an ominous portend of the Great Tribulation period, called alternately as
Jacob’s Trouble. Now, the sun has always symbolized the One True God, and the moon has also
symbolized the Messiah in human form, for its light is nonetheless the light of the sun shed upon
us during the darkness of night by the diminished medium of the moon.
“The great day of the Lord is near, it is near and hastens greatly, the sound of the day of the
Lord: the mighty men shall cry there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and
distress, a day of ruin and desolation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick
darkness. A day of shofar and alarm against the fortified cities, and against the high towers. And
I will bring distress upon men, because they have sinned against the Lord: and their blood shall
be poured out like dust, and their flesh like dung. Nor shall their silver and their gold shall be
able to deliver them on the day of the Lord’s wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the
fire of his jealousy: for he shall make an end, indeed, a frightful end of all that dwell in the land.
Gather yourselves together, and assemble together, O unfeeling nations; before the decree is
brought forth, before the day when you pass away like chaff, before the fierce anger of the Lord
come upon you, before the day of the Lord’s anger come upon you.” (Zefanya/ Zephaniah 1:14-
18 and 2:1,2 from the Yerushalayim Tanakh) (Emphasis mine)
“Behold the day of the Lord comes, a day of cruelty wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land
desolate: and he shall destroy its sinners from out of it. For the stars of heaven and its
constellations shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the
moon shall not shed her light. And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their
iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of
the tyrants.” (Yesha’Yahu/ Isaiah 13: 9, 10, 11 from the Yerushalayim Tanakh) (Emphasis mine)
“The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great
and terrible day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass that whoever shall call on the name of the
Lord shall be delivered: for in Mount Ziyyon and in Yerushalayim there shall be those that
escape, as the Lord has said, and among the remnant those whom the Lord shall call. For
behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring back the captivity of Yehuda and
Yerushalayim, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of
Yehoshafat, and will enter into judgment with them there for my people and for my heritage
Yisra’el whom they have scattered among the nations, and have divided up my land.” (Yo’el/
Joel 3:4, 5 and 4:1-3 from the Yerushalayim Tanakh) (Emphasis mine)

15. The darkening of the sun is then a symbol of man’s refusal to look to the light of God and
worship Him alone. They have turned to the worship of other gods, the fallen angels, their
leader Lucifer and his wicked spawn. The moon turning red like blood (red- the color of sin and
blood) is the symbol of the ascendancy of the false or sinful messiah. And it is the sign of the
coming wrath of God that shall bring the blood sacrifice of the unredeemed to cleanse the earth
from its defilement. The Arm of God shall be revealed and upon His priestly raiment the blood of
the rebellious shall be sprinkled, as He tramples on the winepress of the wrath of God. The earth
profaned shall be cleansed on the Great and Terrible Day of the Lord.
And so it shall be that when this sign comes upon the heavens that the tyrant merchants of the
earth shall gain ascendancy. They shall think in their arrogance that they can function
uninhibited in their iniquities with impunity. They will control the economy of the whole world
and they shall oppress the poor and humble, but their day of reckoning shall surely come. Their
silver and their gold shall not deliver them from the fierce wrath of the Lion of Judah.
And when their power is consolidated, they shall come against the Chosen People to destroy
Yehuda, for they have hated the prophets and the truth that brings their sins to light. And God
shall gather them upon the valley of Yehoshafat, and there His great wrath shall burn them like
chaff and their blood shall be poured out like dust upon the Second Earth. In that day the entire
earth shall be cleansed from those who do not call upon the name of the Lord. And the fortified
cities and the high towers shall crumble to the ground as rubble.
Hear O Yisra’el for you shall know this time is coming when the tyrants first come to take a spoil
from the Beautiful Land only three and one half years prior to this fateful day; the Day of
Vengeance. For the merchant tyrants of the nations shall first come, sweeping down from the
north. They shall pounce upon Yerushalayim to stop the sacrifice in the Temple of God in the
middle of the week of Daniel.
But, the Lord Most High shall give you help, if you are willing to receive it. Elijah and the Prophet
shall return to you in order to prepare you for this moment. Hearken to their voices crying in the
wilderness, for your lives depend upon obedience to their message.
This is the time of the great Chukka when Yisra’el shall be delivered from the Gentile nations
being miraculously protected in the Sinai desert under the Eagle’s wings. Satan’s attempts to
completely eradicate her will be thwarted by God. And it shall come to pass that in his
frustration and anger against the Chosen People, he will then turn on her spiritual children; the
Gentile Christians, which hold to the testimony of Yeshua.

16. Judgment begins with the household of God and He will purify us and weed out the wheat from
the chaff preparing us for the Kingdom, which He shall confirm just 3 and ½ years from that
point.
Then will come the time when the second task of the Messiah, the political or physical
Deliverance, which the Pharisees expected during the Roman occupation, will take place. This
will be the Military Messiah expected by the Essenes, the Lion of Judah, and the Conquering
Savior represented by the constellations of Orion and Perseus. He will utterly destroy the Gentile
armies of the world and then from Yerushalayim establish His headquarters to rule the world
and Yehuda shall be His priests.
b- Secondly, the ruined city will be rebuilt along with the Temple, and the land that had been left
desolate since the Prince of the North had tried to set up his kingdom, just 3 and ½ years prior to
Yeshua’s return, will once again flourish as the real Aquarius alights on Mt. Zion to give new life
to our wilting planet. But, their rejection of the message in the stars shall result in judgment.
And for this reason the darkness that shall come upon the earth shall not allow us the light from
the stars. Now, the stars are also symbolic of the angels of God and in that day, He shall remove
His angels from us and only the darkened stars, the demons, shall dwell upon the earth. But,
they too shall be destroyed by the Right Arm of God, who is Orion in the witness in the sky and
the Branch of Virgo, the root of Jesse.
c- The third element in Isaiah 61 that clearly depicts this messianic prophecy as part of the
Second Coming is the fact that the entire Hebrew nation will be known to the world as the
ministers of God. This by necessity means that all the nations of the world will know who God is,
clearly referring to a time which will only occur at the Millennial or Davidic Kingdom, after He
destroys all the rebellious unbelievers from the entire face of the earth during the Battle of
Armageddon.
The proof of it is the phrase, ‘everlasting joy will be theirs’ in verse 7, by implication a time when
Yisra’el will no longer be persecuted from all sides. The fulfillment of this is yet to come, even
though she is already back in the Promised Land.
Their joy will be everlasting because they will never be displaced from Yisra’el and no nation will
ever dominate them again. You see the Kingdom of the Messiah will be an everlasting Kingdom;
it will never end! He will be the King of Salem, the King of Peace, Yerushalayim will be at long
last, a place of peace. Here, Melchizedek will rule with the scepter of Judah forevermore.

17. Part 3-The Divine Nature of the Messiah
The Second Temple Jews of the Qumran Community were clear on the role and identity of
Melchizedek, the King of Salem which is called the Priest of El Elyon, the God Most High. In
Genesis 14:18 before Yisra’el was born, before Isaac was born, before the first Jew was ever
born, Melchizedek existed and Abraham paid homage to Him. King David did the same in Psalms
110:
“The Lord says to my Lord: ‘Sit at My right hand, until I make thine enemies a footstool for thy
feet.’
The Lord will stretch forth Thy strong scepter from Zion, saying: ‘Rule in the midst of thine
enemies. Thy people will volunteer freely in The Day of Thy Power; in holy array from the womb
of the Dawn, Thy youth are to Thee as the dew. The Lord has sworn and will not change His
mind. Thou art a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. The Lord is at Thy right
hand, He will shatter Kings in the Day of His Wrath. He will judge the nations’.” (Psalms 110: 1 –
5) (Emphasis mine)
First David says, ‘The Lord says to my Lord’. Is there another Lord beside the Lord? The first word
translated as Lord in the Hebrew is the word Yahweh, which means, “the Self- Existing or Eternal
God”. It is the personal name of the One True God. The second word translated as Lord in that
phrase is the Hebrew word Adown, which means, “The Sovereign Lord and Master”, but this
term could be used to determine a human master or owner as well as the divine Lord. So a
modern Rabbi might insist that Yahweh was speaking of a human and not God. This is correct
according to the strict interpretation of the words. Then Yahweh says to Adown, “sit on My right
hand.” So we picture the throne in heaven and Yahweh sitting upon the throne with Adown
sitting at His right hand, as a human, waiting for an undisclosed period of time until Yahweh
vanquishes Adown’s enemies placing them in a position of subjugation under Adown’s feet (His
footstool). Then in verse 2, David says, “Yahweh will stretch forth Thy (Adown) strong scepter
from Zion.” So we see that, since the Messiah is the One that will receive the scepter, then
Adown is the Messiah sitting on Yahweh’s right hand. Then in verse 3 and 4, David continues
quoting the statements spoken by Yahweh speaking in the first person and speaking to Adown:
“Rule in the midst of Thine (Adown) enemies. Thy (Adown) people will volunteer freely in the day
of Thy (Adown) Power.

18. In Holy array, from the womb of the Dawn Thy (Adown) youth are to Thee (Adown) as the dew.
The Lord (Yahweh) has sworn and will not change His (Yahweh) mind. Thou (Adown) art a priest
forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” (Yahweh continues to speak and says) “The Lord
(Adonai) is at Thy….” . The word translated here, as Lord in verse 5 is Adonai, an emphatic form
of Adown, which is used only as a proper name of God, and never as a human Lord as in Adown.
.[Strong’s Concordance, Hebrew and Chaldee Dictionary, word # 136 pg. 8: “Adonai: An
emphatic form of 113( Adown) and 3050 (Yahh-the Sacred name. The Lord Most Vehement); The
Lord (used as a Proper name of the Lord only): - (my) Lord.”]
It is still Yahweh speaking, Adonai is Yahweh, therefore the word Thy in verse 5 must be speaking
of the human Messiah. Let us continue the verse: “The Lord (Adonai = Yahweh) is at Thy
(Messiah’s) right hand”. But, I thought it was Adown that was in Yahweh’s right hand, according
to the second verse in Psalms 110? How come now Yahweh or Adonai is at Messiah’s right
Hand? Will God Yahweh bow Himself before a human and sit at His right hand? ‘No’, say the
Hebrew Rabbi’s, ‘this is Adown at Yahweh’s right Hand’. Then, if that is so, the Messiah (Adown)
is in verse 5 called Adonai, a title that in the entire Bible is only used for Yahweh. So, which is it?
Checkmate!
There is no way out! Yahweh has made it clear. The Messiah is Lord! “And He will shatter kings
in the Day of His Wrath”, verse 5b. The Messiah has resurrected and is presently sitting in
Yahweh’s right hand, waiting till the proper moment, when in the Day of His Wrath He will come
down again. This time as the Messiah of Yisra’el, the Military Messiah, which will pour out the
fierceness of His wrath upon the Gentile armies of the Prince of the North. At long last the Day
of Vengeance will cleanse the world! The Lion of Judah will roar from Zion!
This Messiah, which David called, “A priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek”, could
not just be human for what human priest could hold that office for eternity.
Moreover, Daniel called He who sat at the right hand of Yahweh, the Son of Man.
"1 In the first year of Belshatzar melech Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and visions of his head
upon his bed; then he wrote down the dream, and the sum of the matters he related.
2 Daniel answered and said, I saw in my vision that came by night, and, hinei, the arbah ruchot
(four winds) of Shomayim burst forth upon the yam hagadol (great sea).

19. 3 And four chayyot hagedolot (great beasts) came up from the yam, different one from another.
4 Harishonah (the first) was like an arye (lion), and had eagle’s wings. I was beholding until its
wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from ha’aretz, and was made to stand upon two feet
like a man, and a man’s lev was given to it [see Daniel 4:34 (4:31)].
5 And hinei another beast, a second, like a bear, and it was raised up on one side, and three ribs
were in its mouth between its teeth; and it was said thus unto it, Arise, devour much basar
(flesh).
6 After this I beheld, and hinei another, like a leopard, which had upon its sides four wings of a
bird; the beast had also arba’ah rashim (four heads) and dominion was given to it.
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and hinei a fourth Chayyah (Beast), dreadful and terrible,
and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it was devouring and crushing, and
trampling the residue with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it,
and it had eser karnayim (ten horns).
8 I was contemplating the karnayim (horns), and, hinei, there came up among them another
keren (horn), a little one, before whom there were three of the first karnayim plucked up by the
roots; and, hinei, in this keren were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great
things.
9 I was beholding until kisot (thrones) were placed, and the Atik Yomin (Ancient of Days, i.e.,
Hashem) did sit, whose raiment was like white snow, and the hair of His rosh like pure wool; His
kes (throne) was like the fiery flames, and its wheels like burning eish.
10 A river of eish was flowing and came forth from before Him; thousand thousands ministered
unto Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him; the court sat, and the sfarim
(books) were opened.
11 I was beholding from (the time of) the voice of the arrogant words which the keren [Anti-
Moshiach] spoke, I was beholding even till the Chayyah (Beast) was slain, and his body
destroyed, and given to the burning eish.
12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, yet their lives were
prolonged for a time and a season.

20. 13 I was beholding in visions of the night, and, hinei, one like a Bar Enosh (Ben Adam, i.e.,
Moshiach) came with the clouds of Shomayim, and came to the Atik Yomin (Ancient of Days, i.e.,
Hashem), and before Him He was brought.
14 And there was given Him (Moshiach) dominion, and honor, and sovereignty, that all people,
Goyim, tongues, should pey-lammed-chet (see Dan 3:12, serve, reverence as deity Him
(Moshiach). His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His
(Messianic) Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." (The Orthodox Jewish Bible/ Daniel 7:
7-14)
Notice that He who sat at the right hand of Yahweh was called "one like a Bar Enosh (Ben Adam,
i.e., Moshiach) came with the clouds of Shomayim, and came to the Atik Yomin (Ancient of Days,
i.e., Hashem), and before Him He was brought." That is, Adown is the Son of Adam, or the Son of
Man, and yet His reign is for eternity and He sits at the right hand of the throne of the Ancient of
Days.
And also verse 14 "And there was given Him (Moshiach) dominion, and honor, and sovereignty,
that all people, Goyim, tongues, should pey-lammed-chet (see Dan 3:12, serve, reverence as
deity Him (Moshiach). "
He is deity, this is a plain fact that is also recognized by the Second Temple Jews in the Qumran
community. The Dead Sea Scrolls contain a manuscript entitled “A Treatise on the Coming of
Melchizedek” (I I Q 13), which elaborates on this matter:
“For this is the time decreed for the year of Melchizedek’s favor” (Isaiah 61:2 modified with
Melchizedek replacing the title of Yahweh), and by His might He will judge God’s holy ones and
so establish a righteous kingdom, as it is written about Him in the Songs of David, ‘a godlike
being has taken His place in the council of God; in the midst of the divine beings He holds
judgment’. (Psalms 82:1)
Scripture also says about Him, ‘Over it take your seat in the highest heaven; a divine being will
judge the peoples.’ (Psalms 7: 7,8)…
Therefore Melchizedek will thoroughly prosecute the vengeance required by God’s statues. Also
He will deliver all the captives from the power of Belial (Satan) and from the power of all the
spirits predestined to him, (demons). Allied with Him will be all the righteous divine beings
(angels- Isaiah 61: 3)… This visitation is the Day of salvation that He has decreed through Isaiah

21. the prophet concerning all the captives in as much as scripture says to Zion, ‘your divine being
reigns’ (Isaiah 52:7)
This scripture’s interpretation: ‘The mountains’ are the prophets they who were sent to proclaim
God’s truth and to prophesy to all Yisra’el. The messenger is the Anointed of the Spirit, of whom
Daniel spoke, ‘After the sixty two weeks an Anointed One shall be cut off.’ (Daniel 9: 26) The
messenger who brings good news, who announces salvation is the One of whom it is written, ‘to
proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor, the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who
mourn.’ (Isaiah 61; 2) Your divine being is Melchizedek who will deliver them from the power of
Belial.” (A Treatise on the Coming of Melchizedek, II Q 13 Column 2 vs. 9 – 25) (Only the first
parenthesis and emphasis is mine)
These members of the Hebrew Essenes, the third Hebrew school of philosophy, understood
clearly that the Anointed One would be a ‘divine being’, a term that surely no Jew would use in
reference to a mere man. The Anointed One was to be born a human child, as Isaiah 7: 14 and
9:6 say. And yet He would be a ‘divine being’, higher than the angels, for He would judge even
the demons.
The very fact that in quoting Isaiah 61: 2 the Essenes replaced the name of Yahweh with
Melchizedek is proof that they thought of both as being One and the same individual. It is
possible and highly probable that Melchizedek was literally the Messiah and therefore a “divine
being” that appeared to Abraham, as did angels in other occasions. There is then, a clear
concept of the Messiah being ‘fathered by God’ and therefore a “divine being” that had the
authority to sit at the right hand of Yahweh, biding time, until the appointed moment, when the
Day of Vengeance of our God arrives. This was well understood by the Essenes and gives us a
very clear picture of the expectations of the Messiah during the time of the Second Temple Jews.
The fact that modern Jews today reject this view must be understood in the historical context as
being not the exclusive view of the Hebrew people of that time, perhaps not even that of the
majority of the Jews at that time. Not that a majority in anything proves its correctness, for we
know that in the time of Elijah only 7,000 out of all the men in Yisra’el did not bow to Baal.
Rabbi Saul writes in the Book of Hebrews:
“This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which
enters within the veil where Yeshua has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a High
Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. For this Melchizedek, King of Salem, priest
of the Most High God, who met Abraham as he was returning from the slaughter of the King’s

22. and blessed him, to whom also Abraham, apportioned the tenth part of the spoils, was first of
all by the translation of his name King of Righteousness and then also King of Salem, which is
King of Peace. Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of
days, nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, He abides a priest perpetually.
Now, observe how great this man was to whom Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth of the
choicest spoils.
And those indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priests office have a commandment in the
law to collect a tenth from the people, that is, from their brethren although these are
descendant from Abraham.
But, the One whose genealogy is not traced from them collected a tenth from Abraham and
blessed the one who had the promises.
But, without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.” (Hebrews 6: 20 - &: 7) (Emphasis
mine)
Rabbi Saul, then as a teacher of the fourth “Jewish school”, during the Second Temple times,
taught also clearly that Melchizedek was indeed greater than Abraham the Father of Yisra’el
and was without beginning and without end, in other words, a “divine being”.
Now, if we conclude, as the Essenes claim, that this Melchizedek is the same One that Isaiah 61
is referring to, then Melchizedek is the Messiah. And if He is as they claimed the same One
spoken of by Daniel that would be cut off at the 69th week, then what other figure in history
could fit the bill, counting from the decree to restore and rebuild Yerushalayim during Daniel’s
time?
Now, over 2,400 years later, we can look back and see that the timetable prophesied by Daniel
fits to the day the allotted time between the decree to restore and rebuild Yerushalayim till the
time that Yeshua was literally “cut off”. (See Messianic Prophecies for an exact timetable) There
is no one else in all of history that can claim what Yeshua has proved by His death and
resurrection, namely that He has power over death and that He is the One prophesied by Daniel
to be “cut off” before His time.
He is the Anointed One that has been from of old, from everlasting and the Essenes reflecting
the messianic expectations of the Jews of that time, point out that Melchizedek is one and the

23. same as the Anointed One. Therefore, if Yeshua is Melchizedek, He walked the earth prior to
Judaism and true “Christianity” is in fact the true “Judaism” predating the Pharisaical,
Rabbinical Judaism reflected by modern Judaism, whose customs and traditions arose after the
Babylonian captivity and have strayed from God’s Word only partially acknowledging the whole
counsel of Scripture. It is for this reason that John said Yeshua was before Him, when He in fact
was physically born after John.
He, who has ears to hear, let him hear. He, who has eyes to see, let him see; the truth that can
set you free is also the same that can be your stumbling block. The same stone that is the
cornerstone of the Temple of God has become the stumbling stone of some. Are you of the seed
of Abraham physically? What a wonderful privilege! But, do you believe the Hebrew Prophets?
Are you of the seed of Abraham spiritually? Hearken to the words of Yeshua, for you must be
born of the Spirit of God to enter into the Kingdom.
Now, you must remember that the sections quoted from the Dead Sea Scrolls were written, not
by Christians, but by fellow Jews living after the Babylonian Captivity in earnest expectation of
the Messiah. Can you, with confidence, say that you have read the Hebrew Prophets and are
convinced that the Messiah is to only be a military deliverer? Are there no passages in the
Scriptures that speak of the Messiah as a suffering Savior? And what of God’s covenant with
David, is there a Jew from the root of Jesse sitting upon the throne of David today? And what of
God’s covenant with Abraham was not Yisra’el dispersed from the Promised Land for over 2,000
years? God has opened the gates of righteousness through the lamb that died to redeem us. Will
you walk through those gates, or will you stumble?
“Open to me the gates of righteousness; I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks to the
Lord.
This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous will enter through it.
I shall give thanks to thee, for Thou hast answered me; And Thou hast become my salvation. The
stone, which the builders rejected, has become the chief cornerstone. This is the Lord’s doing; it
is marvelous in our eyes.” (Psalms 118: 19-23)(Emphasis mine)
“Therefore thus says the Lord God, ‘Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, a costly
cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes will not be disturbed. And I will
make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the level…and your covenant with death
shall be cancelled.” (Isaiah28: 16, 17a, 18a)(Emphasis mine)

24. The gate of righteousness is the Stone, which the builders rejected, who has become our
salvation! The cornerstone was rejected, but He shall return tested and proved, for He shall be
the foundation for the Davidic Kingdom and every nation shall come to Him and offer gifts, as
He will rule the world. Then there shall be peace in Yerushalayim and your covenant of death
shall be cancelled!
“Because of Thy Temple at Yerushalayim Kings will bring gifts to Thee.” (Psalms 68: 29)
“For the Lord has built up Zion; He has appeared in His glory. He has regarded the prayer of the
destitute, and has not despised their prayer.
This will be written for the generation to come; that a people yet to be created may praise the
Lord.
For He looked down from His Holy height; from heaven the Lord gazed upon the earth, to hear
the groaning of the prisoner; to set free those who were doomed to death; that men may tell of
the name of the Lord Zion, and His praise in Yerushalayim; When the peoples are gathered
together and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.” (Psalms 102: 16-22)(Emphasis mine)
There will be a day when all the people of the earth will be gathered together around
Yerushalayim; some alongside the Lion of Judah, who will believe in the Stone of the foundation
that has been proved and they will not be disturbed. And their oppressors shall gather alongside
the Prince of the North rimmed with the armies of Satan’s minions gathered at Megiddo and
inflamed with hatred. But, the Lord Himself shall appear from the east in His glory as the
Anointed One, alighting upon the Mt. Of Olives and the curse of the Diaspora will be removed
forevermore. In the middle of the seven years of Jacob’s Trouble, He will provide for you a way
to escape into the wilderness. There the Chukka shall protect you for three and one half years,
until He returns in the Day of Vengeance. Your prophets have foretold this:
“And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Yerushalayim on
the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by a very large
valley, so that half of the mountain will move to the north and the other half toward the south.
And you will flee by the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains will reach to
Azel; yes you will flee just as you fled before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah.
Then the Lord my God, will come, and all the holy ones with Him!

25. And it will come about in that day that there will be no light; the luminaries will dwindle.
For it will be a unique day which is known to the Lord, neither day nor night, but it will come
about that at the evening time there will be light.
And it will come about in that day that living waters will flow out of Yerushalayim, half of them
toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the western sea; it will be in summer as well
as winter.
And the Lord will be king over all the earth; in that day the Lord will be the only one.
All the land will be changed into a plain…and people will live in it, and there will be no more
curse, for Yerushalayim will dwell in security.” (Zechariah 14: 4-10a, 11)
The curse that has made Yerushalayim a place of turmoil and death shall be removed, when
they believe in the Cornerstone that had been previously rejected. He shall be the foundation,
upon which the Davidic Kingdom shall be built and every nation in the world shall be ruled from
Yerushalayim. He shall destroy the cities of the world with a giant earthquake and the
mountains will be laid low and the world will be turned into a plain, and the kingdom of the
Prince of the North shall come to its death.
Hear O Jacob, for the sun will be darkened and the moon will turn a reddish hue and the stars
will not be visible, until the Lord stands upon the Mount of Olives. And that evening, His light
shall shine, as the noonday sun, and the glory of the Lord shall rise. Therefore arise, and shine
for your light has come and the world will tremble to its core, as the Lion of Judah roars.
Then He shall restore the waters of the earth, for He is the real Aquarius. Life shall return to the
sea and Yisra’el shall dwell in peace and safety for the first time! Amen.
“And there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the Lord of Hosts in that day.”
(Zechariah 14: 21 b)
Now, this word translated “Canaanite” in the New American Standard Bible is translated as
“merchant” in the Yerushalayim Tanakh. They are both right, for it shall be the Canaanite
merchants that shall oppress the House of Yehuda, until the coming of the Day of Vengeance,
when upon the seventh shofar Jericho shall crumble to the ground.
