The importance of taking the end time work of Elijah much more seriously.
Most of those fromthe lost sheep of the house of Israel whom YHVH is busy calling out of the churches of the world, to rule the commonwealth of Israel as the Kingdom of Elohim under Messiah at His return, are aware that Satan is presently going all out to destroy as many human beings as possible.The reason for this being that Satan has lost his position of rulership in the Kingdom of Elohim when he sinned with full knowledge, making it imposable to repent and return to the way of Elohim, as Rav Kepha explains in 1 Peter5: 8, saying: ‘Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.’
Rav Shaul, knowing that our fight is not with other human beings, correctly identifies our enemy as Satan and his fallen angels in Ephesians 6: 12, saying: ‘For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.’ Here Rav Shaul is offering returnees to the covenant we made with Elohim, together with the house of Judah at Mount Sinai, something that Christianity and those of the Messianic faith incorrectly view as magic or from Satan himself, as the only solution to overcome our adversaries, namely Satan and his many human agents who wants us to remain captured in the Roman Catholic Church and her protesting daughters (Esau), by means of Kabbalah. ‘Kabbalah’ transliterated from the Hebrew word (קבלה) simply means‘received’and Jewish Kabbalah being the kabbalah of Orthodox Jews,including Rabbinical, Hasidic and Chabad Lubavitch Jews who as Torah observant Jews are definitely not involved in black magic or witchcraft. Jewish Kabbalah if properly understood can enlighten ones understanding of the Infinite One, but if misunderstood may be perverted into polytheism. It is believed that because of misunderstanding of Jewish Kabbalah that the early Christian Church fathers came up with the idea of the so-called Trinity. This is why Jewish Rabbis hold that one should only study Kabbalah after you have been solidly grounded in Torah – having at least forty years Torah study behind you. The subject of Kabbalah is used by Jewish Rabbi’s when teaching their congregants about the image of Elohim and is found throughout the Scriptures. Beginning in Genesis 1: 26 we are told that Elohim created mankind in the image of Elohim, later identified by Rav Shaul as Yahshua in Colossians 1: 15, as follows:‘And He is the image of the invisible Elohim, the first-born (from the dead as mentioned in Colossians 1: 18) of all creation.’ Next we read from Deuteronomy 33: 27[1]about the permanence of Elohim’s nature; that He is eternal and uses two eternal arms to judge and save His people according to Isaiah 51: 5[2]. In the figure of a man used to portray the image of Elohim in Kabbalah the two arms of Elohim are identified as His power (transliterated in Hebrew as ‘Gevurah’) and loving kindness (transliterated as ‘Chesed’).In Ephesians 6: 11 - 19 Rav Shaul describes the full armor of Elohimused to protect the image of Elohim in which we were created, from the schemes of the devil. Starting at the top with the head, we protect our minds from Satan’s accusations by putting on the Helmut of Salvation – meaning faith in the salvation of YHVH namely Yahshua (verse 17), as confirmed in Revelation 12: 10 in this way: ‘And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our Elohim and the authority of His Messiah have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, who accuses them before our Elohim day and night.’ The breastplate of righteousness mentioned in verse 14 protects us from Satan’s tactic of pride and temptation; accordingly we put the Breastplate of Righteousness on by doing righteous deeds, such as observing Elohim’s weekly and annual Sabbaths, eating only kosher food, but also by caring for the poor amongst our own families and brethren.
We gird our loins with the belt of Truth,also mentioned in verse 14, by studying and obeying Torah. This protects us against Satan’s tactic of deception. If we know Torah, Satan and his agents will not be able to deceive us so easily, as Yahshua showed when He overcame Satan’s temptation in Matthew 4: 10, by quoting from Torah saying: “Begone, Satan! For it is written, ‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP YHVH YOUR ELOHIM, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.”Torah observance also frees us from the false doctrines of the religions of the world, as Yahshua aptly told those Jews who came to believe in Him in John 8: 32, saying: “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Finally we put on the shoes of peace or the gospel of peace against Satan’s tactic of oppression as Rav Shaul wrote in verse 15 of Ephesians 6: saying: ‘And having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE.’ Shalom means more than peace, but also to be united, whole or complete and at peace.The shoes correspond to the feet which represents Kingdom. During the 1000 year rule of Yahshua we will have complete peace. The gospel of the coming kingdom of Elohim gives us peace, knowing that all the evil of the present age will come to an end.The world that we live in is fast deteriorating and because Satan knows that his time is short he uses mankind’s greed to get all they possibly can from the ground as raw material to produce the things required to live at the high standard we have become accustomed to. Mining companies have been exploiting arable land, rendering it useless for future use and the ever increasing demand for electricity, with coal and nuclear fueled/fired generating power stations, as well as the rapid increase in the use of motor vehicles have polluted the air and water, so much so, that it is beginning to affect the health of people living in and around the cities of the world. As a result most people have at some time in their lives wondered if and when the world will finally come to an end.
Environmentalists are most concerned about the condition of our planet and try to stem the ongoing destruction, by making all sorts of demands on the governments of the world, who most readily agree to resolutions, but rarely implementing the same. However, they are not in the least concerned with what YHVH requires and obeying Torah (the only real solution to the problems) is far from most of their ways of thinking. They are not even aware that YHVH wants to bring an end to the false Babylonian systems of the world, where much good is done, but equal amounts of evil prevents any real advancements. Yes, we should be careful how we live and how we utilize the resources given us by Elohim, but He is planning a much brighter future for those who will survive the coming great tribulation and live on into the Millennium. After all He is able to quickly restore the planet into what it was before Adam and Eve sinned and was driven out of the Garden of Eden. Concern about the condition of the world or more specifically society has been the fear of many people throughout the ages. We see from Matthew 24: 3 (KJV) that the original 12 disciples also questioned Messiah about the “end of the world,” and the signs that would point to His return, saying: “Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and the end of the world?”’ But, what did Messiah’s disciples really mean when they asked Him about the “end of the world”? The Renewed Covenant originally inspired by Elohim, was translated into the Greek language and the Greek word translated “world” in the King James Version of Matthew 24: 3 is ’aion.’ The correct translation of the Greek word ‘aion’ is ‘age’ and definitely not the physical planet on which we live. This New American Standard Bible correctly translated the word ‘aion’ in the same question in Matthew 24: 3, in this way: “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” So we see that the disciples questioned Messiah about the ‘end of the age’ and about His planned return, not about the destruction of the planet earth we call home. When this civilization of man comes to an end, it would mean the end of the age of man’s rule over himself, but the earth would continue to exist.
Yahshua prophesied in Mark 13: 19 about the end of this age telling His disciples about the great tribulation to occur during a time immediately prior to His return to earth, saying: “For those days will be a time of tribulation such as has not occurred since the beginning of creation which Elohim created, until now (meaning at this end time), and never shall.” Yahshua continued in verse 20 of Mark 13, saying: “And unless YHVH had shortened those days, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect whom He chose, He shortened the days.” Verse 20 is not talking about spiritual salvation, but to being saved from physical annihilation or an untimely death. In addition it is telling us that the world will not be a safe place to be in at that time and that no life would be saved, unless YHVH intervenes to prevent the extinction of all mankind. This will be when Messiah returns to establish the kingdom of Elohim on earth and to put an end to human governments, which would otherwise lead to chaos and the destruction of all human life.A second witness to the coming tribulation is recorded in Matthew 24: 21, as follows: ‘For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall.’The prophet Jeremiah referred to the great tribulation, as Jacob’s distress in Jeremiah 30: 7, saying: ‘Alas! for that day is great, there in none like it; and it is the time of Jacob’s distress, but he will be saved from it.’ It is clear from these verses that even though mankind had lots of problems during the past 6,000 years, there has never been trouble as severe as what is coming before and there will not be afterward. So this can only refer to the one great climatic event of worldwide trouble, before Messiah’s return. Elohim inspired the prophet Joel to graphically describe this time of trouble before the end of this age in Joel 2: 1 – 3, saying:‘Blow a trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of YHVH is coming; surely it is near, (2) a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn is spread over the mountains, so there is a great and mighty people; there has never been anything like it, nor will there be again after it to the years of many generations. (3) A fire consumes before them, and behind them a flame burns. The land is like theGarden of Eden before them, but a desolate wilderness behind them, and nothing at all escapes them.’ All these prophets spoke about the same time of trouble soon to occur, before the end of this age, since only during this age with chemical, nuclear and biological weapons so readily available, is such total destruction possible.
Yahshua revealed the suffering and killing that will result from the use of such deadly modern day weaponry in Revelation 9: 2 – 10 & 16 – 19 in a vision the suffering and killing that will result from the use of such deadly modern day weaponry, as follows: ‘And he opened the bottomless pit; and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit. (3) And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. (4) And they were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the men who do not have the seal of Elohim on their foreheads. (5) And they were not permitted to kill anyone, but to torment for five months; and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings a man. (6) And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; and they will long to die and death flees from them. (7) And the appearance of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle; and on their heads, as it were, crowns like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. (8) And they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions. (9) And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to battle. (10) And they have tails like scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is the power to hurt men for five months. (16) And the number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them. (17) And this is how I saw in the vision the horses and those who sat on them: the riders had breastplates the color of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone; and the heads of the horses are like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceed fire and smoke and brimstone. (18) A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths. (19) For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents and have heads; and with them they do harm.’ No doubt, Yochanan was describing the awe-inspiring military weapons available today, as seen in a vision Yahshua revealed to him. He had to use symbolic language in trying to describe what he saw, since these armored cars, helicopters, planes and tanks were not available in his lifetime. Nothing could be clearer; can you see that we are living in the time Yahshua spoke of in Mark 13? We are alive during a time when people have enough military power at their disposal to destroy all life form from earth.
The good news is that Elohim promised to intervene in world affairs to prevent the eradication of humanity and to bring world peace, at last. However, in order to ensure ongoing peace, He will have to also prevent future wars by stopping that which causes war. Rav Yaa’cov explained in James 4: 1 &2what the source of war is among mankind, saying: ‘What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members? (2) You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. And you are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask.’ Uncontrolled human nature consisting of pride, vanity, envy, jealousy, greed and lust, is basically the main reason for war.The prophet Daniel wrote about the end of the age in Daniel 12: 4, saying: ‘But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.’ Considering our means of transport and all the modern gadgets and information technology advancements available to us today, it is clear that we are definitely living in the end of time. People are traveling all over the world and both Scriptural and other knowledge have increased phenomenally over the past few years. The problem with the increase of knowledge is that it causes mankind to believe they are capable of doing whatever they please. It is as Rav Shaul wrote in the second part of first Corinthians 8: 1 (KJV), saying: ‘Knowledge puffeth up, but charity (love) edifieth.’ Because we live in an age of ever increasing scientific and other knowledge it has become possible for people to obtain and possess tremendous power. Their lust for power has inspired them to become better and better and eventually wax from bad to worse, since power in the wrong hands usually corrupts, as Rav Shaul said in 2 Timothy 3: 13: ‘But evil men and imposters will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.’ As it is also witnessed in Proverbs 14: 12, in this way: ‘There is a way which seems right to man, but its end is the way of death.’ Similar to average citizens, leaders are at times driven to make snap irrational decisions by their greed and emotions, believing that their evil deeds are best for the world. The prophet Jeremiah tells us in Jeremiah 17: 9 (KJV) what deceives us into believing that actions which end in death will eventually bring peace, as follows: ‘The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?’ World governments work for and promise their countrymen peace, but their actions and decisions only bring war.
A major problem with mankind is that we do not know the way to peace, as the prophet Isaiah testified in Isaiah 59: 7 & 8, saying: ‘Their feet run to evil, and they hasten to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; devastation and destruction are in their highways. (8) They do not know the way of peace, and there is no justice in their tracks; they have made their paths crooked; whoever treads on them does not know peace.’ Isaiah wrote further about what will happen to human plans for peace in Isaiah 33: 7 – 9, saying: ‘Behold, their brave men cry in the streets, the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly. (8) The highways are desolate, the traveler has ceased, he has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities, he has no regard for man. (9) The land mourns and pines away, Lebanon is shamed and withers; Sharon is like a desert plain, and Bashan and Carmel lose their foliage.’ War is depicted throughout the Scriptures as the result of lust or greed. Greed is a main characteristic of human nature. The past 6,000 years has proven that man left to himself is totally incapable of bringing about change. Negotiations for peace have since the creation of man been accompanied by plans of war and nothing has changed today. Human governments are incapable to put an end to war permanently. Only Elohim has the ability and power to change human nature. The question is: how will Elohim create and maintain world peace? To find the answer, we need to turn to the Scriptures, since Elohim does not intervene in world affairs without revealing it to His prophets, as we read from Amos 3: 7, in this way: ‘Surely YHVH Elohim does nothing unless He reveals His secret counsel to His servants the prophets.’ In fact YHVH revealed His plan to establish His kingdom on earth to Isaiah many years ago, as recorded in Isaiah 2: 1 & 2, as follows: ‘The word which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. (2) Now it will come about that in the last days, the mountain of the house of YHVH will be established as the chief of the mountains, and will be raised above the hills; and all the nations will stream to it.’ YHVH also revealed to Daniel in the dream of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon that the kingdom of Elohim will be established by Him during the end of this age and will be a literal world-ruling kingdom, as recorded in Daniel 2: 44, in this way: “And in the days of those kings the Elohim of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, and that kingdom will not be left for another people; it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever.’
Once Elohim has established His kingdom on earth, there will be no more conflict and war as Isaiah wrote in Isaiah 2: 4, saying: ‘And He will judge between the nations, and will render decisions for many peoples; and they will hammer their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, and never again will they learn war.’ The Word of YHVH, the creator of mankind is returning to establish Elohim’s government on earth and to change human nature for the better. Instead of being taught how to create instruments of war, people will be taught how to exercise self-control. Isaiah even went so far as to identify who would establish Elohim’s kingdom on earth in Isaiah 11: 1 – 4, saying: ‘Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse (David), and a branch from his roots will bear fruit. (2) And the Spirit of YHVH will rest on Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of YHVH. (3) And He will delight in the fear of YHVH, and He will not judge by what His eyes see, nor make decisions by what His ears hear; (4) but with righteousness he will judge the poor, and decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth; and He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.’ We see from what is written in the Acts of the apostles in chapter 13: 22 that David is identified as the stem or son of Jesse, in this way: ‘And after He had removed him (King Saul), He raised up David to be their king, concerning whom He also testified and said, “I HAVE FOUND DAVID the son of Jesse, A MAN AFTER MY HEART, who will do all My will.”’
In fact the prophet Daniel prophesied about a time when true believers will be given rulership over the earth in Elohim’s kingdom under Yahshua in Daniel 7: 18, 21 – 22 & 27, saying: ‘But the saints of the Highest One will receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, for all ages to come.’ (21) “I kept looking, and that horn was waging war with the saints and overpowering them (22) until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was passed in favor of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom.” (27) ‘Then the sovereignty, the dominion, and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey Him.’ This was the message that Yahshua brought to earth almost 2,000 years ago. Yahshua’s message or gospel is not primarily a message about Himself, or about ‘receiving Him’ in our hearts. It is not merely a message about the events in His life and of Him becoming the Savior of the world, even though it includes that. It is a message about the coming Kingdom of Elohim to be ruled by Yahshua and His saints for a thousand years, and then into eternity.The true gospel is about Messiah coming as Supreme Ruler to rule all nations of the world using the Laws, statutes and judgments of Elohim as their constitution. That is the gospel that Yahshua preached whilst He was on earth, as recorded in and among others Mark 1: 14 & 15 and Mathew 9: 35. After Yahshua’s death and resurrection He commissioned His disciples (and also us His modern day disciples) in Matthew 28: 19 & 20 and Mark 16: 14 to go into the entire world and preach the gospel to all creation. As a matter of fact Yahshua made the preaching of the gospel a precondition for His return, saying in Matthew 24: 14:“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come.’ Notice that this is not saying we need to convert the people of the world, but only to witness to them about the coming kingdom of Elohim.
Brethren, it is time for us who are alive at the end of this age to wake up. Messiah’s disciples did not fully understand Elohim’s plan of salvation while Messiah was with them. They thought the Kingdom of Elohim would be established in their day. But before they died, they understood Messiah was to return at a much later date. However, Rav Kepha wrote in 2 Peter 3: 9, saying: ‘YHVH is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.’ YHVH is patient and has held back from intervening in world affairs for nearly 6,000 years. He has allotted mankind 6,000 years in which tolearn that his own ways bring nothing but pain, suffering and ultimately death. The Scriptures contain chronological dates showing that mankind was created about 4000 BCE. Almost another 2,000 years have elapsed since then, totaling almost 6,000 years. How absolutely significant that in our time in history; the very time the world is threatened with the extinction of all life, the allotted 6,000 years has almost elapsed. We are told in Malachi 4: 6 that we as the modern day type of Elijah, those who teach that YHVH is our Elohim, should also restore the hearts (faith) of the fathers to our children, lest YHVH smite the land with a curse – utter destruction. It is our duty to teach our children about the faith of our fathers in the faith. In addition we should follow Abraham’s example by obeying the Torah teachings of Elohim and have faith in the salvation of YHVH, i.e. Yahshua! The main reason why many Messianic/Nazarene Israelites and like-minded believers are not prepared to follow Torah fully, or rather why they follow ‘Torah’ on their own terms is anti-Semitism. This is also the main reason for the many differences in our faith. We know that YHVH has blinded the Jews to Yahshua, until the fullness of the ‘Gentiles’ (those Israelites who lost their identity and believe that they are Gentiles) have come in, and then all Israel (both houses) will be saved. At this time YHVH is calling us from the lost ten tribes (as well as from the Gentiles) to become potential kings and priests during the coming millennium rule of Yahshua: We are called to learn Torah as well as to practice it, so that as priests, we will be able to teach those alive during the millennium as how to keep the same. We need to realize that we will have a special role to play together with those of our Jewish brothers who will also be saved, to become kings and priests with us during the millennium. The ten tribes lost their identity, because they compromised the Torah of Elohim. Yes, the Jews were also taken into captivity for disobedience, but, they returned to the land of Israel after 70 years and they remained as the keepers of the oracles of Elohim. They are (YHVH)’s lawgivers (or keepers), as we read in amongst others Psalm 60: 7. Ephraim needs to accept that Judah has been assigned the role of caretaker of Torah and start making Judah jealous, by keeping the same Torah including weekly and annual Sabbaths with a Spiritual intent. This is the only way that we will eventually be accepted by Judah, as equals: not by us telling them about Yahshua. YHVH has blinded their minds to accept Yahshua and will Himself be responsible for them to eventually recognizing Him as their Messiah and Savior. We learn from Abraham’s example that we as believers cannot compromise in our walk with YHVH. We are walking a very narrow, lonely road and we need to keep our eyes on the coming kingdom of Elohim and on Yahshua the author and finisher of our faith.
It is only when we repent from our deceptive ways and are immersed into Yahshua’s saving name that we are able to do what YHVH requires of us. We read accordingly from Ezekiel 36: 26 & 27, ‘Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. (27) And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.’ The reason why we should be immersed into Yahshua’s name is that it is only by so doing that we will receive the Set-apart Sprit, as we read from Acts 2: 38, ‘And Peter (Rav Kepha) said to them, “Repent, and let each of you be immersed in the name of Yahshua Messiah for the forgiveness of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Set-apart Spirit.”’ We need the Set-apart Spirit of Elohim if we want to know and do the things that YHVH require of us, as may be understood from 1 Corinthians 2: 11, as follows: ‘For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man,which is in him? Even so the thoughts of Elohim no one knows except the Spirit of Elohim.’ Yahshua our Messiah confirmed this in John 16: 13 - 15, saying: “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears (from the Father), He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. (14) He shall glorify Me; for He shall take of Mine, and shall disclose it to you. (15) All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said, that He takes of Mine, and will disclose it to you.”
If we are humble enough and yield our will to YHVH our Elohim, He will give us His Set-apart Spirit to follow the correct code of righteousness, namely His Torah teachings given throughout the Scriptures (from Genesis to Revelations). As those who are destined to eventually become priests who will be teaching this code of righteousness, each one of us are required to study the Scriptures to become approved by Elohim, as we read so aptly from 2 Timothy 2: 15, ‘Be diligent to present yourself approved to Elohim as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately the word of truth.’ Ultimately Elohim will write the spiritual truths that we learnt in our hearts, making it part of our thinking and character, as we read from 2 Corinthians 3: 2 & 3, as follows: ‘You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; (3) being manifested that you are a letter of Messiah, cared for by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living Elohim, not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of human hearts.’It is for this reason that we face trials and difficulties so that Elohim may know how committed we are to follow Him and His way of life. YHVH needs to know if our character will endure during the hardships and troubles that we are about to face in this world. It is only after He is totally convinced that He can trust us with the powers that He will give to those who He expects to rule under Yahshua. YHVH cannot entrust His eternal spiritual powers to someone who will misuse it again, like Satan did and risk having a loose cannon in the administration of His eternal Kingdom. This is also why YHVH tested our forefathers in the faith, to see if they will truly follow Him.How exiting that Yahshua Himself said that we alive at this time will see the events that He prophesied taking place, before His return to usher in the Kingdom of Elohim on earth as it is now in heaven, Halleluyah!
