Today was our second Prophecy Club session. In today's session, we continued our study of the five keys that unlock end-time Bible prophecy.
Treasure (like the gold bars pictured on the right) is kept safe under multiple layers of
security. A multi-layered security system does prevent robbers from stealing the
treasure within. But primarily, treasure is not kept in secure vaults to keep people out.
Heightened security is primarily designed to ensure that only authorized people may
have access to the treasure, of which they are the rightful owners and partakers.
Similarly to how earthly treasure is kept securely locked under a multi-locking security
system, the “vault” of End-time Bible prophecy is also locked—accessible only to members of the true Family of Yahweh, who possess the keys that unlock biblical prophecy:
Luke 8:10 “And He said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of
God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might
not understand.”
There are several reasons that
believers struggle with prophecy
and often misunderstand it entirely:
FAILING TO USE THE KEYS—Heaven
has given us “keys” to unlocking
Bible prophecy. These keys are
necessary and are explained in this
article.
PROPHECY IS TIME SENSITIVE—
End-time prophecy is only able to
be rightly understood in the beginning of the Last Days (Daniel 12:9).
This factor is no longer an issue, as
we are in the beginning of the Last
Days.
FALLING PREY TO CONVENIENT
MATH—Many Bible students have
placed the 1260 and 1290 Day
timelines in an overlapping position.
Why? They are only 30 days apart
and the math is convenient. But the
same event which starts the final
2300 days also starts the 1290 days.
And the same event which ends
the 2300 days, also ends the 1260
days. Considering this, the 1260 and
1290 cannot overlay as traditionally
thought...
RELYING ON EXTRA-BIBLICAL
INTERPRETERS—There are many
believers who have written helpful and inspiring books over the
years—books which are not part of
the Bible canon, but can be useful
and encouraging nonetheless. But
while Bible commentators, and
other extra-Biblical writers can be
very helpful to Bible students, they
can also be harmful if their writings
are misused. It is a misuse of an
extra-Biblical writing to elevate it to
the position of being the interpreter
of Scripture. Always, Scripture (and
Scripture alone) must be used to
interpret Scripture (1 Peter 1:20-
21; Isaiah 28:9-10). And the “Spirit
of Prophecy” is none other than
Yahshua Himself (Revelation 19:10).
So, what are the five keys?
The five keys that unlock Bible
prophecy are:
• The TORAH - Isaiah 8:20
• The PROPHETS (Scripture) - 2 Peter 1:20-21
• The FEASTS (Leviticus 23) - Daniel 8:19; Daniel 11:27; Daniel 11:35; Colossians 2:16-17; Leviticus 23:2
• The MAZZAROTH (Job 38:32) - Genesis 1:14
• SABBATICALS & JUBILEES
It is interesting that there are
exactly five keys. In Hebrew, the
original language of the Torah,
letters also have numerical
value. The Hebrew letter Hey (h)
is the fifth letter of the Hebrew
alphabet and has the
corresponding numerical value
of 5. Thus, five keys denotes the
meaning of the Hebrew letter
Hey. Significantly, the Hey is the
letter of the Holy Spirit—the
Breath of Heaven.
