If so, what are your thoughts. In 1217, Rabbi Judah ben Samuel wrote the following prophecy: "When the Ottomans conquer Jerusalem they will rule over Jerusalem for eight jubilees. Afterwards Jerusalem will become no-man’s land for one jubilee, and then in the ninth jubilee it will once again come back into the possession of the Jewish nation – which would signify the beginning of the Messianic end time." The Ottoman's (the Turks) captured Jerusalem in 1517 and held it until 1917 (400 years or 8 jubilees). The British then conquered the Turks in 1917 and Jerusalem became no man's land for the next 50 years (1 jubilee). In 1967, Jerusalem went back into the possesion of the Jewish people.

Apparently, he was a Jewish mystic. If he had not accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior, which it does not appear that he had, he would not be a trustworthy source to look to.

I was told by a Rabbi here that the powers there were concerned that someone would defile the temple mount so they were keeping Jews from it until time to rebuild the temple.... I don't know if he knows what he's talking about but it sounded pretty logical to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked at many web sites trying to find out more about the prophecy. He only said that the Jewish people would possess Jerusalem in the ninth jubilee, which would signify the beginning of the Messianic end time. I've heard some of the Bible prophecy teachers saying it means that the rapture is near, or that the messiah must come in 2017. I think it only means that the end times began in 1967. Jesus said that the generation that sees these things would also see His return. I believe we are that generation. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the prophecy is just telling us that the end times started in 1967. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
