Prophecy Club 2 - Session 49 - March 16, 2022

 

In today's class, we continued what we've studied about how the 5 keys to show that the indeed there is no second chance after the Second Coming. Since all five keys teach this so clearly, the question becomes, how did such a twisted teaching come to be so prevalent in people's beliefs? The misunderstanding about what happens in the Millennium largely comes from making spiritual prophecies literal, such as Isaiah 2:2-4.

One thing we must remember is that we are not correctly understanding a Bible prophecy until all the prophecies fit together harmoniously. If we think unsaved people are going to come to Jerusalem to worship Messiah and learn His Torah – we have placed this conversion period AFTER the Second Coming. But too many Scriptures show that cannot be correct in timing.

Zion (Yahweh’s saved people) will NOT be teaching the heathen after the final Day of Atonement when all probation is forever closed.

·        When the New (renewed) Covenant goes into effect (which happens on the final Day of Atonement), Yahweh remembers our sins no more (forever)… And He writes His Law upon our inward parts (Right now, like Paul said, we have to die daily, because our natural inclination is 180 degrees from righteousness… But when Yahweh writes His Law upon our inward parts, as He promises to do in the End, it will make it our natural inclination from that point onward to do righteousness).

·        When the New Covenant goes into effect, EVERYONE on Earth with know Yahweh…  There are no more missionaries! SO, the teaching that the unsaved nations will gather to the Temple in Jerusalem and learn the Truth after the Second Coming doesn’t fit!!

o   Jeremiah 31:33-34  “But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith Yahweh, 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. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know Yahweh: for they shall all know Me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith Yahweh: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” 

Isaiah 2:2-4 tells us the timing – it says that this time for conversion will be in the LAST DAYS. And as we’ve already studied, the Last Days refer to the time just BEFORE Yahshua comes again.

Yahshua foretold that the Last Days would be the time for sharing the Gospel. He also plainly stated that when the End came, the process of sharing the Gospel with the world would be ended:

Matthew 24:14 ­­­­­­­­– The very END comes AFTER the Gospel is preached to all the world. So the teaching that the Second Chance exists after the Second Coming is wrong.
When the Kingdom of Yahweh is set up, Scripture tells us that missionaries will no longer be needed. The whole earth will know Yahweh.

Habakkuk 2:14 – the earth is covered with the knowledge of Yahweh as water covers the sea.

Jeremiah 31:34 – All will know Yahweh when He completes the New Covenant. There will be no one left to tell about Yahweh.
Evangelizing has no place in the Millennial reign of Messiah. All evangelizing will be finished by the final Day of Atonement, which takes place 5 days before Messiah returns.
Additionally, even during the Last Days, people seeking Yahweh will not be gathering to the literal city of Jerusalem. The literal city of Jerusalem will be the most unholy city on earth, for it will be the seat of the Beast. Claiming to be Messiah, the final Antichrist will reign on from the Temple in Jerusalem.

But what about Zechariah 14, which plainly states that all people who won’t come up to Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Tabernacles will receive the plagues of Yahweh. Doesn’t Scripture teach that the heathen who are seeking Yahweh should go to Jerusalem to learn about Him and worship Him?

Zechariah 14:18-19 – in the Last Days, those of Egypt (darkness in the world) who do not come up to Jerusalem (join with/worship with the Torah-keepers who are keeping the Feast-spiritual Jerusalem) will not receive the Rain (Latter Rain of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit) but will instead receive the Plagues – we know that gathering together to keep the Feast is Salvational.

When you simply read these verses, without considering all the other Scriptures we’ve already read, you can see why people are confused by the message of Zechariah. It certainly looks like everyone better plan to gather for Sukkot in physical Jerusalem in the Last Days. Failure to do so will result in receiving the plagues!

But this understanding is only partly right. Everyone who will be saved from the plagues will be keeping the Feast of Tabernacles in the Last Days…  But the understanding of Jerusalem’s identity is where things go wrong. We need to remember that this kind of misunderstanding only happens when we don’t study the Bible properly. This is why no Scripture is of private interpretation – 2 Peter 1:20. All Scripture must fit together, or we will not have a correct understanding.

One key thing that is being overlooked in the wrong interpretation of Zechariah 14 is that Jerusalem is not only a physical place- a literal city- it is also a symbol of the saved people of Yahweh.

One of the Scriptural symbols for Yahweh’s saved people is the symbol of the city.
Isaiah 62:10-12 – the holy people are called the “city not forsaken” which is a term used for Jerusalem. Clearly, Jerusalem is Yahweh’s saved people in this Scripture.

Another symbol of the saved people of Yahweh is Mount Zion:

Isaiah 51:16 – Zion is also a reference to Yahweh’s holy people.

Psalm 125:1 – They (the saved people) who trust in Yahweh will BE Mount Zion.
Yahweh’s saved people are also likened to being lively – or holy Spirit filled – stones, built up into a spiritual house. The Spiritual House of Yahweh is His holy Temple

1 Corinthians 6:19 – The body is the holy Temple of Yah, when His Spirit is there.

1 Peter 2:5 – As we saw in the Branch prophecies, Messiah is building His Temple… It is a spiritual Temple (His people) with spiritual sacrifices.

Understanding that the literal Temple and city of Jerusalem will belong to the dark side in the Last Days, we may know that the Temple which people gather to and the mountain which people flock to in order to learn about Yahweh in the Last Days is His saved people.

Micah 4:1-2 –
·         Micah 4:1-2  “But in the Last Days (this is a buzz word phrase in Hebrew that refers to the End of the World) it shall come to pass, that the Mountain of the House of Yahweh (Mount Zion, which is the “Temple Mount” is the holy people, who are also referred to as His House – Temple) shall be established in the top of the mountains (leadership, that which is exalted), and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people (nations of the world) shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, and to the House of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways (out of the belly of Yahweh’s saved people will flow rivers of living water), and we will walk in His Paths (Jeremiah 6:16, “the old Ways are the right ways”): for the Law shall go forth of Zion, and the Word of Yahweh from Jerusalem (Yahweh’s people are doing the work of Elijah in the Last Days, calling people to repentance, gathering out the stones, and lifting up the Standard – Torah – for the people).”
