The Revealing: Time, Times and Dividing of Times

By David Victor Fischer

The Revealing (in Greek, the Apocalypse) is the telling of the history of the age of the Gentiles before it happens. The age of the Gentiles, sometimes called the time of the Gentiles or the church age, began with the final act of the Jewish age, the destruction of Herod’s temple in AD 70. This is the third of the three and a half ages (or times) of man—a time, times, and half a time. Enoch was the prophet of the first age (the age of the patriarchs), Daniel of the second (the age of the Jews), and John of the third (the age of the Gentiles). We live near the end of the third age, with the half age yet to come—the age of the dead.

How do we read Bible prophecy? What is symbology, and how can ancient prophecies show us how to read prophecy yet unfulfilled? Is there a prophecy language used consistently throughout scripture? Can the Bible really interpret itself? What is the purpose of prophecy? We will explore all these questions.

The most significant problem facing Bible researchers is identifying those prophecies already fulfilled versus the prophecies yet to be realized. Any scripture researcher must also be fluent in the history of the age. Some who look for fulfillment in the future simply don’t see the foretold completion in the past. Ignorance of history causes misunderstandings of what is to come.

Storytelling is the art of conveying to the reader events along a timeline. How does the timeline progress? Does the reader understand that multiple timelines occur simultaneously while the narrator jumps between small pieces of parallel accounts, or does the narrative stay with one timeline to its conclusion before regressing to the beginning of the next narrative? With a culture of Hollywood indoctrinated moviegoers, storytelling of past times may be unfamiliar and confusing.

There are a few simple key principles needed to unlock Bible prophecy for anyone. The symbolic language opens prophecy, parables, and Bible pictures for anyone with the desire to read and study God’s Word. The lives of the patriarchs are the patterns of our lives today. God is the ultimate planner and mathematician. When will the time be fulfilled?

Apocalypse

The writings of our Forefathers…

If we were to build Christianity again, from the foundation up, where would we start? We start of course with Jesus…and those who wrote about Him, His chosen witnesses.

The witnesses of Christ are His disciples. The only Gospel with a name attached is that of the disciple John, the beloved disciple. We must begin with the first witness, the disciple John.

Beginning with the Gospel of John, the Epistles of John, and the Revealing to John, Apocalypse, we now have a foundation, but with only one witness, one leg so-to-speak.

Since the scripture demands two or three witnesses, we add a second witness, the leader of the disciples, the evangelist to the circumcision, he who denied our Lord yet was restored to the fold—Simon Peter. The Epistles of Peter and the gospel of Mark, Peter’s son and biographer, are added to our list.

Next, we add the Gospel of the disciple Matthew, also known as Levi, the son of Alphaeus (Joseph?). Matthew’s gospel is not signed, but it is very similar to Mark’s Gospel, insomuch that it probably used Mark as its source.

Finally, we add the Lord’s brother, James, the leader of the Jerusalem Church. We add the epistle of James.

What remains?…someone who claims to have been there from the beginning and who, once again, seems to use Mark’s Gospel as his source, writes the Gospel of Luke. This gospel disagrees not at all with the other gospels. We have a fourth witness. The author of Luke also writes the Acts of the Apostles, in total, second only to John as a NT author.

We also remember the first century evangelists, Jude and Paul who show us how the church formed in this pivotal time.

These are the writings of Christianity. From these witnesses come our faith in Jesus.

How Big is New Jerusalem?

12,000 stadia/1400 miles per side

The description of the city as a square base with a height equal to the base could be either a cube or a square pyramid.

Introduction

What a huge undertaking, to attempt to interpret the vision of the Apocalypse. Apocalypse means revealing, Jesus is giving Revelation to John. The names of the books are not important, they were added later. This is a letter to the churches in Asia. It is the message that is important.

This book overwhelmed me until I found the first key. The mystery of God is the Feasts, the seven High Sabbaths. Revelation was closed to me until I understood this key. The book of seven seals is the tablets of the Ten Commandments, the Law, and the seven seals are the Seven High Sabbaths! Now everything makes sense. God is revealing the mysteries of the Sabbaths.

The second key is the way the Bible tells stories. Hollywood relates stories by giving small snippets of each timeline in parallel fashion and jumping back and forth between them. The Bible tells one whole timeline to its conclusion and then jumps back in time to the start of the next timeline. The Candlesticks are one timeline, the Seals another parallel timeline, the Trumpets and the Vials are yet other timelines. Each tells the story of the Gentile Age from a different perspective—religious, kingdoms, vengeance, calamity—four parallel stories of the same period, like Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. These four perspectives all relate to the third time of man. The first time was the time of the Patriarchs. The second and third are the times of the Jews and the Gentiles, the two sons of Abraham. Finally, will be the half-Time of the Dead. Time-Times-half-Time. This is the history of Man. Revelation mostly deals with the Time of the Gentiles, sometimes called the Church-Age.

The third key is the symbology. The Revelation takes place entirely in a spiritual vision and everything seen in the vision is a symbol. Most of those, who try to interpret the Revelation, mix the physical and the spiritual, leading to error. Everything we see is a symbol, even Jesus and the Angels are symbols. Sometimes what we hear is an explanation of the symbol. Biblical prophetic symbology is consistent, both within this vision, Old Testament visions and New Testament parables. The symbology is not difficult. Each symbol is similar to what it symbolizes, e.g. a Mountain represent a Government. Smaller mountains represent smaller governments, and stones (talents) represent city governments. An earthquake shakes up the mountains and it symbolizes shaking up governments. When reading Revelation, remember, everything seen is a symbol.

Once we discover the meaning of an Old Testament symbol, the symbol in a different vision/dream/prophecy will be the same. If a beast represents a Kingdom/Empire in Daniel’s visions, it will mean the same thing in Ezekiel’s visions, or Jesus’ parables, or Peter’s dreams or John’s Revelation. These symbols are consistent throughout the whole Bible. The symbols come together to form a prophetic language. Once we learn the language, it becomes easy to decipher the prophetic meaning.

Revelation is not supernatural. God can work supernaturally but He rarely does. Jesus did miracles and cures as did His disciples, but this was unusual. Men always want to see the power of God revealed in great sweeping miracles, signs in the Heaven above or earth beneath. God does not typically work this way. As we go through the portions of Revelation already accomplished, we will see no supernatural miracles at all. Nothing so far has happened which doubtful men will not say is simply natural occurrences and disasters—explained away as bad-luck or natural processes. God typically works through anonymity. God requires faith. God wants our trust and obedience through our love, not through experiencing supernatural events anyone can believe in.

It seems reasonable to assume future events will be the same—God working through seemingly natural events and not through great, sweeping miracles—sorry, no Rapture!

What God has in store is much better than the Rapture… Those who overcome the world, as Jesus overcame the world, will be resurrected to live and reign with Christ a thousand years! Will this be some awesome, stupendous, supernatural event, or, when it happens, will it seem natural? Will we see the resurrection of these Thousands, or will they simply be here and take over? It is said they will judge, not rule. Is this the return of the time of the Judges when every man did that which was right in his own eyes… We will have to wait and see…

1John 5

1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Warning

Unless your faith is strong and your commitment to God is unshakable, DO NOT READ what is written herein.

Matthew 13

24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. 37He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 38The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 39The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

The Tares are the children of the Devil, the lies inserted into our faith. Much of this writing is about identifying Tares. Removing lies, no matter how beloved, is the process of maturing. It is always better to replace a Lie with a Truth than to just remove the Lie leaving a void. Some lies we hold dear and are hard to relinquish. It is better to keep the Lie then to lose faith in God. If you can reject a beloved Lie and walk with God, that is maturity.

Here we go…

Foreword—A Short History Of Man

Let’s go ahead and spoil the ending…

Man began in a Garden in the east of Eden in what today would be called the Fall (Rosh Ha Shanna) 3851BC. For the next 1681 years, man lived in a warm, greenhouse paradise with lush vegetation, gargantuan animals, virtually no disease and nothing to hurt man, aside from other men. Then catastrophe happened. Perhaps by a huge meteor or some other means, the canopy surrounding the planet shattered and the greenhouse collapsed. Half of the water in the world, suspended in space outside the atmosphere, descended, and, for the first time in the history of man, it rained. It rained as no rain has rained before or since. It rained for forty days and forty nights. The water came not just from the sky, but also from the ground. It rained and poured and the waters rose, covering man and beast, house and hill. Water rose until all the high mountains were covered. Great geysers shot up from massive underground water reservoirs as the land, all around the globe shifted and buckled. New mountains were formed, far higher than any before, the sea basins deepened as billions of trillions of gallons of water flowed off the rising lands. Oceans were formed for the first time and they split the land into newly formed continents. Through it all, one man and his family, along with the animals God had given him to protect, floated, in an ark made of wood, above the carnage for a whole year as the planet reshaped itself to the new reality. The ark, really just a long, square box, came to rest, not far from the place where man began. Man once again embarked on his quest to populate the earth and a short three centuries later, there came a man who would change the world forever—not by his great deeds or mighty works, but by humbly following his God. El Shaddai, was so pleased with this man, that he made a covenant with him and changed his name to Abraham. Through Abraham, all of mankind will find peace and reconciliation with God. So begins the second Age of man, the Time of the Jews.

The first Age, from Adam to Abraham, had a prophet named Enoch, the seventh from Adam, who foretold those things to become of man. The second Age will also have a prophet, Daniel, foretelling those things to become of the Jews. Daniel comes from the tribe of Judah, the son of Israel, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham. El Shaddai, God Almighty, reveals Himself to the children of Israel from the top of a mountain, mount Sinai in Arabia, now known as Jabal al’Lawz. For the first time, God speaks to all the people at once. God stood in the fire and spoke, with voices like trumpets, to the millions gathered around the mountain, and God gave Himself a name, Yehovah. He gave them a Law and then, just in case they forgot, He carved the Law on two tablets of stone, the tablets of the Ten Commandments. These people, the descendants of Abraham, became Yehovah’s covenant people, the children of Israel. Would these people keep their coveted place, bequeathed to them by their father, Abraham, by keeping the Law of Yehovah, or would they squander their inheritance and fall lower than their brethren, the rest of man, by rejecting their covenant God, their creator and redeemer? This was their Age, the Time of the Jews.

The Jews could not hold their vaulted position, the covenant people, the bride of Almighty God. They could not retain their special birthright, but Yehovah did the unthinkable, the unimaginable. God Almighty became a tiny Jewish baby, a baby known as Jesus of Nazareth. God came down from heaven to walk among His people, to give them a final chance to repent, to return to Him, to keep their place as the chosen people. What was their response? They killed Him, and He let them do it. Forty years later, Yehovah responded, and wiped out those unfaithful covenant breakers, ending the Time of the Jews, and beginning the new Age, the Time of the Gentiles. The prophet to this Gentile Age was a disciple named John, the beloved.

The Jews, as a people, lost their place, but a remnant remained. A few still clung to the God of their father’s, we call them Christians, and to this remnant were added others, peoples from all nations, those who yearned after their maker and creator. The Time of the Gentiles, the Churches, began. However, as with the Jews, those from within these special peoples began to corrupt the pure faith and to establish control of God’s peoples, to lure them away from the true faith in Yehovah. This corruption became, as it did with the Jews, the established religion, claiming to be the Universal Church of God, the Catholics. Many tried to break away, but invariably, they too formed a structure and a system which itself also became corrupt. With power and authority goes corruption. Yehovah never required a structure, not from the Garden in Eden, not from the fire of Sinai, and not from the Cross. Yehovah, asks each of his followers to follow him individually, in spirit and in truth. The leaders of His people are to be servants, not rulers. The corruption of the Jews now establishes itself in the Gentiles. If Yehovah destroyed the Jews for polluting His message, how long will He abide the Christians in the same sin?

As the Time of the Gentiles draws to a close, Yehovah once again prepares to change the world. Yehovah picks out twelve captains of the people from each of the original twelve tribes of Israel. Those of the remnant who have endured persecution and clung to Him alone during the Church Age now reap their reward. These hundred-forty-four martyrs are resurrected from the dead. They come to sweep away all authorities of men and establish the Kingdom of God over the whole world. These resurrected saints cannot be bought or bribed. They cannot be hurt by man—after all, they are already dead. They live again through the power of God and they rule the world in an iron grip, not as kings, but as priests and judges. All men must live by the Word from the fire, the Law spoken by Yehovah, given first to Adam as he walked with His Creator in the cool of the evening, then taught again to the father of the faithful, Abraham. The Law, written in stone, is now the statute enforced by the incorruptible judges sent by Yehovah for a thousand years, a half Time of the Dead.

First a Time, then Two Times, now a half-Time…

This half-time is at first greeted with great joy by the inhabitants of the world, not by the leaders and rulers of men because they lose all their authority and prestige, but by the oppressed peoples of the world who now, for the first time, taste the freedom from oppression the masses have ever sought. The people welcome this deliverance and they live their lives in peace and harmony for a thousand years. The old ways are forgotten. The once great cities lay in decay and neglect as Man spreads out to fill the world, each man with his own land, surrounded by his own family and relations. Yehovah’s yoke is easy and His burden is light. Peace reigns throughout the whole world, yet this, the Law of Yehovah, so sweet in their mouth when they first taste it, eventually becomes bitter and sour in their belly.

As the thousand years draws to a close, Man once again rebels against his Maker and rises up against the judges sent by Yehovah. Who is Yehovah that He should rule Man? Why should Man be governed by a Law not of his own making? Why should Man serve God? They once again shed the Law of Yehovah as they rise up against their Master and the governors He has sent. Enough!

Rebellious Man has come to his doom. As the armies of Man surround the camp of the saints the fire of God falls upon Mankind and everything is wiped out. The patience of Yehovah has ended…but, is this the end?

For the faithful, for the believers, for those who put their trust in the Almighty, this is not an end, but a beginning. A beginning with a new heaven and a new earth. The ages of man are but the birth pangs bringing forth the new-born God sons. This time, there will be no end. The old corruptible system is gone. The rewards are given. Yehovah and His faithful begin their eternity together—God and the children of their God.

What Is A Jew?

The term Jew has had many meanings over the centuries. Jew originally meant from the tribe of Judah, the descendants of Judah, son of Israel, son of Isaac, son of Abraham.

After Joshua and the Israelites conquered Canaan, there was a period known as the Judges, followed by a period of Kings. King David united the Tribes into the Kingdom of Israel. David’s son, Solomon (~1000BC), ruled after David and built the first Temple of Yehovah, in Jerusalem. When Solomon died, his son Rehoboam grew harsh with the people and the ten northern tribes rebelled, splitting the kingdom. They formed a new Kingdom of Israel while the tribes remaining with Rehoboam, Judah, Levi, Benjamin, and half the tribe of Manasseh, formed the kingdom of Judah. Jew now meant to be from the kingdom of Judah.

Some two and a half centuries after the kingdom split, the Assyrians conquered the northern Kingdom of Israel (Samaria, captured 721BC) leaving only Judah as the people of Yehovah. Many of Israel fled to Judah to be assimilated. The rest were force-marched to northern Turkey and other peoples were relocated to the lands of Israel. The relocated tribes remained in Turkey, south of the Caucus Mountains, for around a century until the Persians came and the tribes fled into northern Europe, disappearing among the indigenous Germanic tribes. Modern historians call this the Caucasian Migration. Jew now meant anyone remaining in Judah from the original tribes of Israel.

The Kingdom of Judah was conquered by the Chaldeans who destroyed the temple of Solomon in 587BC and carried the Jews to Babylon. Seventy years later, the Jews returned to rebuild the temple, named after the governor of the land, Zerubbabel. This temple was much smaller than the first temple and it stood from 518BC to 19BC when Herod leveled the temple, enlarging the temple mount and rebuilding the temple, which was still under construction during the ministry of Jesus, 46 years later (John 2:20). In the time of Jesus, all Israelites were called Jews.

In 66AD, the Jews rebelled against Rome. Emperor Nero sent Vespasian to quell the revolt but before he could succeed, Nero committed suicide in 68AD and Vespasian left the siege of Jerusalem, returned to Rome and, after quelling a one-year civil war, became emperor himself. Vespasian sent his son, Titus, who was with him on the original assault against the Jews, to finish quelling the Jewish Revolt. Titus attacked Jerusalem on Passover 70AD, exactly forty years after the crucifixion of Jesus. The Romans destroyed Jerusalem and its Temple on 4 August 70AD, decisively ending the Great Jewish Revolt begun four years earlier. In the process, the Romans killed 1.1 million Jews and enslave one-hundred thousand more. Orders were sent to many parts of the empire to kill Jews throughout the civilized world and an untold number of Jews perished. Nevertheless, the Jews rallied and in 115–117AD, another revolt took place, the Kitos War, and a third in 132–135AD, the Bar Kokhba’s revolt. By this time, the Romans are so enraged, they killed Jews on sight. To be a Jew meant almost certain death.

Jews were scattered to the four winds, mostly to Egypt (Coptic) and Spain (Sephardic). This dispersion of Jews throughout the world is called the Diaspora. The Jews in Egypt were primarily Christian Jews under the leadership of the first Coptic Pope, Peter’s son, Mark, the gospel author. Sephardi Jews remained in the Iberian Peninsula for many centuries until their expulsion during the Spanish Inquisition in the 15/16th centuries.

Around the 8th century, in the land of the Khazars (between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea), the Ashkenazi peoples (Ashkenaz, eldest son of Gomer, eldest son of Japheth, eldest son of Noah, the firstborn of all mankind, holding the birthright of the whole world [Gen10]) had a king who was very dissatisfied with his religion, no one really knows why, and decided to have a contest between the major religions in his region. He invited the Jews, the Christians and the newest religion, the Muslims, to present and persuade him to join their religion. In the end, the Levites, representing the Jewish religion, won the contest and the King of the Khazars converted to Judaism, ostensibly because the Jews had the longest history. When the king converted, so did all his nobles, and eventually all the Ashkenazi people became Jews. The Ashkenazi’s have been remarkably cohesive, inter­marrying within their religion so they remain a distinct peoples to modern times.

Writings exist from the period, correspondence between Diaspora Rabbis, exclaiming the astounding news, a new Jewish nation is found in Asia! This new Jewish nation was short-lived. In the 10th century, the Ottoman Empire expanded north and the bloody Khazar-Arab wars forced the Khazars into northeastern Europe (Germany, Hungary, Poland, Russia, Ukraine). In the 11th century, these Ashkenazi Jews made up only three percent of the world’s Jewish population, in 1931, they accounted for over 90% of the Jews in the world. These Jews bore the brunt of the Holocaust during WWII and now their numbers make up only 80% of the world’s Jews, and less than 50% in Israel.

The definition of a Jew in the Age of the Jews is to have a father who is a Jew/Israelite. Modern Jewish tradition is the opposite in that the mother must be a Jew. To be a Jew today is more of a religious distinction than an ethnic one, except perhaps in Israel where a strictly orthodox stance is often taken—is the person descendant from someone present at Mt. Sinai when the Ten Commandments were given? This means a person can be Ashkenazi but not considered a Jew by some of those within the Jewish communities.

However, Isaiah 56 says:

3Neither let the son of the stranger that hath joined himself to YHVH, speak saying YHVH hath utterly separated me from his people…

6Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to YHVH, to serve him and to love the name YHVH, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;

7Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine alter; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

The Name Of God

The name of God is not God. The epistles of John express, more succinctly than others, the Faith of our Forefathers. Please read all of John’s Epistles.¹ Here are some excerpts:

1John 1

1That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 2(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) 3That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ…7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

1 John 2

1My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 3And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments…22Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. 24Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

2John 1

8Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

1John 4

8He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 14And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

God-the-Father sent God-the-Son.

God-the-Son created all things.

The name of God-the-Son is Yehovah ( hwhy)—Jehovah, but J should be pronounced as Y. This name is commonly translated as Lord—all caps. Many places in the Hebrew, the name, Yehovah, is shortened to Yah ( hy) as in Hallelujah—meaning Praise Yah (Praise the Lord).

Yehovah walked with Adam. He walked with Abraham and Moses. He walked with His disciples. He walks among us. After Yehovah is born of Miriam (Mary), we also call Him Yeshua. ([wXwhy/ ))) or in English, Jesus.

I WILL BE I AM I WAS

yih hee yeh hoh veh ha yah

Often, the name used for God is

combined with His Title—Yehovah

Elohim ( ~yhla hwhy), Lord God.

Yehovah is a combination of three

Hebrew verbs, I-was, I-am, I-will-be

Part of God the Father branched,

not separated, into God the Son

and 30+ years later it drew back, recombined into one.

Salvation

Where did we get the idea of say the magic words…

Romans 10

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Paul seems to be saying if you say the magic words then you get to go to heaven. No, this is not right.

Paul actually says here the Christian must confess Jesus as Lord. Lord means Master. Christians confess they accept Jesus as Master of their life and willingly, and forever, voluntarily, become the servant of Christ. However, it is not enough to just say the words, you must believe them in your heart—really mean what you say and live by it. If you are the servant of Christ, then you must OBEY Christ.

Matthew 19

16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Jesus is quoting the Ten Commandments and the Great Commandments! Jesus is commanding that we keep the JEWISH LAW. Jesus commands us to be Jews—not modern-day Jews with all the traditions and rules but Moses’ style Israelites. The one thing separating us from them is Jesus. Christians are Jews/Israelites with a Messiah. Jesus gave Himself as the ultimate sacrifice. The sacrifice for sin has been made for us. The Law is not gone. We humble ourselves and obey. We obey because we love Him.

The Church rejection of Judaism is not Christian at all!

Peter, in his great Pentecost sermon (Acts2:21) proclaims:

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall

call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Peter is quoting Joel (Joel2:32) who says:

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall

call on the name of Yehovah shall be saved.

Peter does not say to call on the name Jesus, but rather to call on God’s name, Yehovah! These are actually the same, as we will see. Jesus is Yehovah. Yeshua means Yehovah Saves!

One way to think of this is in about 3–5BC, God/Yehovah, put out His right hand and put on it a Jesus puppet. For the next 30+ years, Yehovah became a ventriloquist and spoke to us through His Jesus puppet. The Jesus puppet was fully flesh, completely human, from Mary², and we interacted with Jesus as if He were human, but the spirit was the Spirit of Almighty God. Sometimes God even spoke to Himself through the Jesus puppet and taught us how to pray to Himself, just as any good ventriloquist would. When we killed the Jesus puppet, Yehovah drew back His right hand. There is still only one God. Jesus is the right-hand of God.

Prophecy Concepts

irst, the history of man… In scripture³, the entire history of Adam is summed up in a single phrase:

A Time, Times and Half a Time.

We are all Adam. Adam is our first father and the beginning of humanity. All Man is a family, a single tree beginning with Adam and expanding to encompass the whole world, Adam.

Man is created in the image of God… Genesis 1

It is easy to misinterpret this concept since we think in the Hellenistic (Greek) way rather than the Hebrew way. Greeks thought of themselves as individuals, as we do today. Modern society is a product of this incorrect Greek philosophy. Scripture describes man as families. When a husband takes a wife, they become one flesh, physically joined by the act of sex⁴. This is not an esoteric, spiritual concept; this is physically true. This is actually how God sees us. The husband and the wife form the nucleus of a family with their children. When a husband takes a wife, he leaves his father’s family unit and starts his own family unit, like a new branch of a tree growing out of the parent branch. Still, the family is intact from generation to generation—father to son. A woman is no longer part of her father but joins her husband to build the husband’s house. Scripture praises women for doing the work of building their husband’s house. Rachel and Leah, Jacob’s wives, built the house of Israel. Spiritually, Christians become the Bride of Christ and build the house of God.

Man is like a tree or a vine growing and spreading out to cover the world. We are not each made in the image of God. We are ALL the image of God, ALL of us together, Mankind, all of man throughout the ages, all together, all one, is the image of God, as woman is the image of man. We are all Adam. This vine of Mankind, Adam, is the image of God.

Part of this misunderstanding is the Hellenization of the world by the Greeks. Hellenistic culture, spread by the Greeks, by the conquests of Alexander the Great and by philosophers such as Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, led the world astray. The Ancient Greek philosophical tradition broke away from a mythological-religious approach to explaining the world, and it initiated an approach based on reason and evidence. The idea that man could understand and explain everything through science is an underlying principle in Western thinking today. The most crucial of these ideas was that of individuality, each man is distinct, set apart from his fellow man. The Greek idea is that Man defines himself. This differs significantly from Bible teaching. Scripture teaches we are each a part of a greater whole and we exist as an entity in a larger collective—a Tree of Man, called Adam.

The history of Man, Bible version, is only about six millennia old. There were twenty generations to Abraham. There were forty-two generations from Abraham to Jesus, sixty-two generations in the first four millennia. Man will probably not exceed two-hundred generations before the end. Man through Modern Archeology has tried to extend his history, to create a different history, mostly to relieve himself of
