Hi Allen,
I read today, almost word for word, the material that you sent me. BTW, you'll
probably want to take out the Japanese Plesiosaur-type animal pages. This is
now thought to be a basking shark. I've also marked many of the misspellings
and typos throughout that I'll be glad to share with you.
You have some good arguments for much in Daniel and Revelation being fulfilled
in the 1st century. I'm becoming more open to what you have written along this
line. I'm glad to see that you still have some events to be fulfilled in the
future.
We are still diametrically opposed concerning the law. The whole idea of a New
Covenant is to have Torah written within so that we obey willingly. The goal
of the Covenant is the restoration and reuniting of the House of Israel
(Ephraim) and the House of Judah (Eze 37) along with any gentiles who want to
join in. It is the workers of inquity who will be cast out, and who are the
workers of iniquity, but those who practice lawlessness. David Pollina,
Reuniting the Covenant, www.tushiyah.org would be a good read.
Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and
shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but
whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the
kingdom of heaven.
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me,
ye that work iniquity.
Concerning Jerusalem, I still see a future restoration of the kingdom to Israel.
Act 1:6, 7 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying,
Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said
unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father
hath put in his own power.

Carl, I will demonstrate from the OT law and prophets that you are missing
the whole Context of the law/prophets and in so doing answer your question
specificaly...... This is a long and complicated email..I did the best I could
for you in this time frame without graphics, or writing a whole book. However
if you still have it it would help if you referenced the Charts I gave you on
the 666 Beast and a Man, Abomination of Desolation When, Who and What, Time of
the Gentiles, and 70 weeks vision, If I post them it will be at least 1.5 mb..
otherwise I am happy to email these to you or anyone that wants to see what in
the world I am referencing. I think in these cases a piture realy is worth a
thousand words.
KEY:
Zechariah in Green
Daniel in blue
Luke in purple
John in pink
Mat and all other NT quotes in red
Jeremiah in brown
Carl in Itilics
Me in BLACK
( C) The prophecies read of the rule of the earth again coming out of
Jerusalem... This rule includes the keeping of the Feast of Tabernacles. When,
for example, has Zechariah 14:16 been fulfilled?
( A) FIRST ....The rule DID COME AGAIN out of Jerusalem! Jesus was and does
sit on the throne of David... The whole context of Daniel, Ezekiel and
Jeremiah. They went into Babylonian Captivity and although they came out they
were never again a nation unto themselves as in the days up to Babylonian
captivity. Revelation Ch 17:18 is paralleling Jeremiah 1-25 .the Jews were not
in charge at the time of the Christ in fact this was one of the MAJOR Points of
the prophesies concerning the timing of the Christ. Because he was to be the
king (acts 2:30) but He was not to come until.... Daniel 12: 7. .... when he
shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these
things shall be finished. Now back up to verse one to put this in context .. 1.
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for
the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never
was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy
people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
...Ref Jesus in Mat 24:14-34 15. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of
desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso
readeth, let him understand:) ..... 21. For then shall be great tribulation,
such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever
shall be...There can only be ONE time of GREASTEST TROUBLE, . and in both case
these events are taking place during the period of the 10 kings of Daniel's
vision and Jesus's day, Jesus goes further with ..... 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.
............ This was the WHOLE CONTEXT and PURPOSE of Jesus coming, a king to
sit on the throne of David ( Acts 2:30) Luke 1:32 Isaiah 22:22 Zaechariah 12:7;
13:1;......It was in the DAYS OF THESE KINGS.... (PLURAL)... that God would set
up his kingdom Dan 2:38-44 &Dan 7:3-27 paralleled in REV Ch 13 .. also known as
Luke 21:24.until the "times of the Gentiles be fulfilled". The context here is
the Abomination of Desolation of Dan that would take place before that
generation would pass... .....Yes, the Throne of David.. but Jesus stated in
John 18:36. ... My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this
world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the
Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. And again ...
Luke 17: 20 The kingdom of God Cometh NOT WITH OBSERVATION: 21. Neither shall
they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, THE KINGDOM IS WITHIN YOU.
........Now Back to Daniel as he continues his thoughts in Ch 12........
Dan 12:2. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt...
Mat 27: 52. And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which
slept arose, ...
Dan 12:3. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the
firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and
ever..10. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked
shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall
understand...
Zechariah 13:9. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will
refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they
shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and
they shall say, The Lord is my God.
Mat 12: 17. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying, (Isaiah 42:1)18. Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my
beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he
shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. 19. He shall not strive, nor cry; neither
shall any man hear his voice in the streets. 20. A bruised reed shall he not
break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto
victory. 21. And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
Zechariah 13: 7. Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man
that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep
shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
Mark 14:27. And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me
this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall
be scattered.
Zec 14:16 And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is left of all the
nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to
worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
John 4: 21. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye
shall neither in this mountain, NOR YET AT JERUSELEM, worship the Father. 22.
Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is OF the
Jews. 23. BUT THE HOUR COMETH AND NOW IS, when the TRUE WORSHIPERS shall
worship the Father in SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH: for the Father seeketh such to
worship him. 24. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in
spirit and in truth. 25. The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh,
which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 26. Jesus
saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
SECONDLY........ You are looking for a physical manifestation of things at
Jerusalem, the kingdom and the covenant .. it was for this very same reason;
that the Jews did not accept Jesus they tried to make him a earthly king and
kingdom when that failed they rejected him altogether . John 6:15. When Jesus
therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a
king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.......It was this very
gospel of spirit vs law that was the point of the gospel of Christ. You miss it
because you like the Jews then were looking for a physical KING and Physical
KINGDOM and Physical Rituals to worship as was the law of Moses.... if you
would listen to Paul he explains even further... in any case... Only by keeping
a physical manifestation of a law could one be justified but that was the point
of Jerimaiahs prophesy .the context for his remarks in Ch 32 they are about to
go into Babylon....
Jeremiah 6:19... they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but
rejected it. 20. To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the
sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor
your sacrifices sweet unto me. 21. Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I
will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons
together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.. .....
Jeremiah 9:13. And the Lord saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I
set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein; 14. But
have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which
their fathers taught them: 15. Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God
of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give
them water of gall to drink.
Jeremiah 16:11.... and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;
Jeremiah 31: 22. How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding
daughter?...31. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new
covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32. Not
according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took
them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they
brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord: 33. But this shall
be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days,
saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their
hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34. And they shall
teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know
the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest
of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember
their sin no more.....ref this with . Exodus 34: 9. And he said, If now I have
found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it
is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for
thine inheritance. 10. And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy
people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in
any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the
Lord: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee....
The law was to pardon them according to it's stipulations, however they broke
that covennat and that was the whole purpose and mission of the Christ.
11. Observe thou that which I command thee this day:.... The Jews BROKE THE
COVENANT!!!!! it was not God's unfaithfulness but rather theirs ! It was this
that caused the greatest offence to them. This is why there was a need for a
NEW COVENANT. the former was BROKEN!... Jesus fulfilled all the law and the
prophets by bringing in the new one without which we would all be lost!.. This
is the Gospel of Christ who came and fulfilled it. This Deeply offend them.
They sought to establish their own righteousness via the Law of Moses, just as
you are still trying to do. But God has already decreed it a irreconcilably
broken covenant! This is what he meant by I desire mercy not sacrifice the new
covenant would be written on the heart not in ordinances of ritual. Mat 9:13
Mat 12:8
Mat 21: 42. Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The
stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner:
this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 43. Therefore say I
unto you, The kingdom of God shall be TAKEN FROM YOU, and GIVEN TO A NATION
bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44. And whosoever shall fall on this stone
shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
45. And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they
perceived that he spake of them
Thus the need for a new Covenant. Mat 26:28.....IF Jesus had not come to
deliver us from the old we would all die in our sins.
And in that it is a new covenant the former is obsolete, because and as a
result of the condition of the former. The Law was a foreshadowing of the
things to come...Exodus 25: 3-9. And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may
dwell among them. 9. According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of
the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall
ye make it. 10. And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a
half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof,
and a cubit and a half the height thereof. Paul brings this out in Hebrews 8:1.
The Context is what you have missed is the coming of the messiah in the last
days and setting up his kingdom in the days of the ten kings of the fourth
empire only mentioned as "Mystery Babylon" so as not to call Rome by name,
Because these events are taking place at that time. and understanding was only
for the called of God not the world....you are looking for things that have
already taken place if you would just listen to the prophets and Jesus and his
ministers such as Paul...we worship in spirit not by the Law. Salvation is in
Christ not in the Law.
Mat 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is
finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
Mat 28:All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Mark 16:19. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up
into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. They stoned Steven when he saw
this remember?.... Acts 7:55. But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up
stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the
right hand of God,
Acts 2:33. Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having
received of the Father the Promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this,
which ye now see and hear.
34. For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The
Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 35. Until I make thy foes
thy footstool.
Isaiah 4:3. And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he
that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is
written among the living in Jerusalem: 4. When the Lord shall have washed away
the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of
Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the SPIRIT of judgment, and by the SPIRIT
of burning.
Zechariah 14:9. And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day
shall there be one Lord, and his name one. 10. All the land shall be turned as
a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and
inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate,
unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's
winepresses. 11. And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter
destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. ....
Mat 28: 17. And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
just like you do.. because of the message of the Cross which is that the
covenant of Moses the law WAS BROKEN by the Jews and Christ came to redeem HIS
as defined by those who would now put there trust in Jesus and NOT THE LAW .
Mat 28:18. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given
unto me in heaven and in earth. 19. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost: 20. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Revelation 11:15....there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms
of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he
shall reign for ever and ever.
You are loking for wrong phyisical manifestaions of spiritual matters.
All these things took place during those 10 kings. It is during THIS TIME
that all these things take their context as to exactly When everything played
out, I only know when Jesus and the prophets stated it would happen .During the
day of those ten kings. Agustus the first when Jesus was born and Titus the
tenth who was the one who did the deed and was the prince at the time of the
confirmation in AD 70. As for the HOW I only know what Jesus stated the worship
would be done in Spirit not in the geographical Jerusalem. The mystery of
Babylon is referred to as such Feet always wear the name of the head they are
attached to. Jerimiah 51 is paralleled in Rev 17 this way Rome was never
mentioned by name.. hence "mystery Babylon", the number of the Beast and the
number of the man is the number of Dan ch 2 and Dan ch 7 666 years between the
head Babylon in 596BC to the Feet and the ten kings of the feet which was also
the fourth Beast that ro se out of the sea Dan 7 & Rev Ch 13:1 in AD 70 which
was done by Titus the prince who would be the tenth king of "Mystery Babylon"
Jesus warned his disciples about to take place. If you accepted the prophets
and Jesus revelation you too would understand very clearly. The Book of
revelation is not that difficult, but it does require acceptance of the mission
and purpose of Christ as Paul and the Prophets talk about.
( C) The ultimate goal in Yah's plan is not to have Jerusalem destroyed
forever, but to have the nations that come against Jerusalem destroyed.
Although Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD and the Jews driven out of the land
in 135 AD, Rome is still alive and well.
( A) The Geographical Jerusalem is not destroyed it is still very much there.
The main topic of the prophesies s not the eternal destruction of Jerusalem but
rather the confirmation and Consummation of the new covenant and the NEW
Jerusalem. You don't understand what Jerusalem he is talking about, you seem to
think it is a physical city with a geographical location it is not!
Geographically the place you call Jerusalem is ... Revelation 11:8which
spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Mat
23:36. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them
which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children
together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would
not! 38. Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. If you quite accusing
Paul and listen he explains it even better than I do. We look for a city whose
builder and maker is God not man is what we as Christians are looking for, not
a piece of dirt which will be destroyed by fire.......... that is what we dwell
in the city of GOD " Jerusalem" we are looking for Spiritual things not
earthly.THIS WAS THE CONTEXT OF ALL JESUS TEACHINGS.
( C) Psalms 22:16. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked
have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. 17. I may tell all my
bones: they look and stare upon me. 18. They part my garments among them, and
cast lots upon my vesture.John 19:37. And again another scripture saith, They
shall look on him whom they pierced....What you say sounds right until I read
the prophecy in context..... however, does not seem to have been fulfilled on a
national level.
( A) Carl, Johns statement is and THE ONLY context, that is why he says he
mentioned it.there is no scripture about a seeing this on a "national level"
you just don't understand how God's defines " His people"..... You are missing
what has been going on with the law and the "people of God". The Jews had a
covenant that had strict stipulations well .....THEY BROKE IT, that covenant
with God!.the new covenant is of spirit and truth written on the hearts and
minds of his people, not dirt and tablets with the blood of bulls and Goats ..
When Jesus preached this to them they were all offended because they put their
trust in Moses who had they listed to spoke concerning Him, But they were more
interested in a continuation of the physical Law, Physical Kingdom and Physical
king..just like you. .. The prophesy was most defiantly fulfilled on every
level to its fullest scope as outlined in scripture. you like the people then
don't like the way God has given it to you... Part of the problem is your
definition of what "Gods People" is and since you do not accept Paul you cannot
see the totality of these things just as most of the Jews of Christ day refused
to see. You are looking for the wrong things external of the scripture.. Not
only was Jerusalem destroyed in ad 70 as prophesied by Dan and again by Jesus
in the generation .. but that destruction completely destroyed anyone's ability
to even keep the law if they wanted to because the genealogical records,
calendars and Leviticus priesthood itself was destroyed.. That was the
confirmation of the covenant and. .. Dan 9: 26. And after threescore and two
weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the
prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end
thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are
determined. 27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in
the midst of the week he shall cause t he sacrifice AND THE OBLATION to cease,
and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until
the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. This
is what Jesus stated would happen...... Mat 24:15. When ye therefore shall see
the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the
holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)...... 34. Verily I say unto
you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. These
things took place just as Dan and Jesus prophesied in AD 70.. The prince was
Titus he was to be emperor but not at the time these events took place he was a
general of his father Emperor Vespatian. Since this time there has been no
temple.. for ye are that temple.. and no sacrifice or the oblation because the
ability to do so has been taken away through this confirmation of the new
covenant spoken of by Jesus. That was the whole purpose of the coming of the
messiah. That is why the palmist says. Palms 110:4. The Lord hath sworn, and
will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek..
You are looking for something .. Jesus stated very plainly that the Kingdom
Luke 17: 20 The kingdom of God Cometh NOT WITH OBSERVATION: 21. Neither shall
they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, THE KINGDOM IS WITHIN YOU within
you.
You keep looking for something that you assume is outside of scripture and
greater than what was told or given you..you still do not understand the
meaning of the prophesies because you like your ideas concerning the "law"
better than Gods judgment concerning the status of the covenant. .... AD70 was
the confirmation of the new covenant when our ability to keep the old covenant
was entirely destroyed even if you wanted to keep it you cannot because....
..The following is a partial restatement of the last part of one of my last
postings .....
If you fail to keep any portion of the law you are guilty of the whole law!
Deuteronomy 4:1. Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto
the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in
and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you. 2. Ye shall
not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from
it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you
If Justification were through the law and levitical priesthood then your own
attempt at justification via the law condemns you! Because you do not keep it
nor are there any more Levitical priest to perform the rituals commanded by the
law for you... and you are all unclean!.. Nowhere does JESUS state that you
should keep some of the law but not all of it. He never told his disciples to
extend or continue to observe the Mosaic law. You would have to take a
selective approach to the law which is scriptural baseless notwithstanding the
complete impossibility to perform it.... Dan states plainly that the
confirmation of the covenant would bring to an end the Sacrifice and offerings
and Jesus talked abut that new covenant, He never talked about continuation and
extenuation of the law nor did he explain what portions of the law to keep and
you cannot keep the law by the terms of the law. Then you are all still then
lost if justification were to be found in the law and their woul d have been no
need for a Messiah in the first place!..... Even Moses himself stated that he
would come and that they would listen to him rather than Moses, by whom they
received the OT law. ..Jesus gave commandme nt for a NEW COVENANT not a
continuation or extension of the old you put words into Jesus mouth that are
NOWHHEWRE to be found while along ignore what both HE and the Prophets spoke of
regarding his mission what & he would accomplish to do and how he would do it!
Jesus is a priest after the order of Melchisideck not the levites! Psalms
110:4. The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever
after the order of Melchizedek. Melchizedek was not even a JEW!!! ...The OT law
gave nothing about priest outside the Levites. Christ came and delivered the
NEW COVENANT and he Being of an entirely different priesthood..the LAW spoke
nothing concerning these things how can you even begin to assert that Jesus
instructed a continuation of the OT law...both the cov enant and the priesthood
were changed... You can't keep part of the law and claim to keep it... .. Your
assertions are inconsistent with scripture....If continuity of the scriptures
is dependent upon the continuation of the OT law then we are ALL in a lot of
trouble. How can you selectively decide what you are going to obey and what is
and is not still in force....You can not be a follower of Jesus and adhere to
the law if you adhere to the prophets then you must accept Jesus and lay aside
the law. Mat 22: 37. Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with
all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38. This is the
first and great commandment. 39. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt
love thy neighbour as thyself. 40. On these two commandments hang all the law
and the prophets.
Gal 6:2. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of
Christ....How can you ignore Paul he was sent to explain in detail these things
for us
Acts 18: 12....with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment
seat, 13. Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the
law.... Just like you they MISSED the law and the prophets and ultimately JESUS
himself.
I have shown you the DIRECT VERBATUM correlation from scripture to scripture.
I hope you carefully reconsider the law and the Prophets and what they mean
before you continue down this path any further.

What you say sounds right until I read the prophecy in context. Yes, many
repented in Jerusalem and realized that Y'shua who was just crucified was
Messiah. This prophecy, however, does not seem to have been fulfilled on a

The ultimate goal in Yah's plan is not to have Jerusalem destroyed forever,
but to have the nations that come against Jerusalem destroyed. Although
Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD and the Jews driven out of the land in 135 AD,
Rome is still alive and well.
The prophecies read of the rule of the earth again coming out of Jerusalem.
This rule includes the keeping of the Feast of Tabernacles. When, for
example, has Zechariah 14:16 been fulfilled?
Zec 12:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will seek to
destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Zec 14:16 And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is left of all
the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to
worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
