My favorit Prophecy!!!

[Trinity]

Leviticus 26:18" 'If after all this you will not listen to me, I will punish you for your sins seven times over.

Israel did not repent so punished 7 times more 7 times the remaining 360 years which equals 2,520 biblical years from 536 B.C. which equals 2,483.8 calendar years. 2,483.8 years minus 536.4 B.C. years equals 1,947.4 years A.D. There was no zero year from 1 B.C. to 1 A.D., so you add one more year which brings it to May 14, 1948. On May 14, 1948 the Jews proclaimed their independence and the rebirth of the nation of Israel.

Hey - that's pretty cool!

But would you please explain what you mean by "Biblical years" and "calander years" and all that?

Thanks!

Mind if I step in here???

First of all, biblical year has 360 days, and a calendar year has more and a leap year...thus, the conversion of Biblical years into calendar years.

Secondly, when Israel was released from captivity, God said that if they didn't repent and turn to Him, that they would be punished seven times more. Israel did not repent, and the majority of them stayed in babylon, thus, the dispersion, etc. God multiplied their remaining years of punishment (foretold by Jeremiah, etc.) by seven. Their punishement was due to come to a conclusion on may 14, 1948... and it did.

I may be wrong, but I believe that Grant Jefferies, the prophecy author, discovered this in the Word.

God bless.

they are still turning to man to give them peace and making treaties with man, and not God......

one of the first things they were told when they went into the promised land was not to make a treatie with any.... and what did they do????? and they are still trying to get their peace thru man vice God....

How can we win the Jews over to Jesus when we keep showing them the same hatred that persecuted and killed them through the Inquisitions and through WWII?

The whole world is at enmity with God, not just "those Jews".

We Christians owe the Jews a debt of gratitude, for it was through them that our God came to this world as a man to be the sacrifice for our sin.

It is through the Jews that the Gospel first came to us. (Recall, Paul was a Jew - a Pharisee in fact).

If we don't undue the hatred that's been done to them, they will always see Jesus as their enemy. We've got to show them the truth - that He isn't their enemy, that' He's not a Gentile, that He didn't order their anihilation.

Jesus wept over His people's rejection of Him.

Do we weep over them as well? Or do we condemn them?

Trinity that is just amazing! I don't understand where all of the post against the Jews that followed it come from however.

God told them how long His punishment would last and thats how long it lasted, so whats the problem, he didn't say I will punish you into eternity for this offense, he said 7 times over. A prophecy fulfilled and yet all some people can do is say, so they got away with it???

Neb, I'm with you!

I am a Jew and I only owe One Jew everything. I owe those who reject Christ only what Christ says I owe them and that is to love them enough to tell them the truth in the hope that they will repent and believe the gospel. Is this wrong?

No, but it is wrong not to discern the signs of the times. Israel is back again, and God has restored them to their Land, not because they are righteous, as He is doing this to vindicate His own Name. It is prophesied that they will be restored to the Land in unbelief first, and then spiritually restored. Israel's existance cannot be explained any other way than a move of God. One only needs to study the history of the region going back about 100 years or so, to see that the emergence of Israel is itself a miracle, and even more so when you consider that they have in a mere 57 years not only maintained their existance but have become a leader in the world of science, technology, and medicine; not to mention becoming the fourth most powerful military in the world.

avenaue, God still has his eyes upon the Jews, the Bible states this is numerous places, so I guess I'm wondering what your getting at.

[Guest shiloh357]

Your Problem Avenaue, is that you do not know the Scriptures. One day Jesus will return to Jerusalem and rule the world from there. How is it that you claim to be a believer and do not know this?

Israel's rebrirth is foretold in Ezekiel 36 and 37 and modern Israel is pictured for us Zechariah chapter 12. In both of these books we see the children of Israel being brought back to the Land in unbelief, and then afterwards the Messiah will restore them.

This makes hardly a drop of Abraham related blood left in any of us. So what is the point of believing anything other than the promises to Abraham were fulfilled in Christ. The promise was made to those of faith and it was delivered by the King to those of faith.

You are wrong. We who are Jews know that we are. You have already admitted to being a Jew. If there is no drop of Abraham related blood in us, then you lied by claiming to be a Jew. The truth is, that God has preserved us. I have the faith to believe that, I am sorry you are lacking the faith.

The promise made to Abraham by faith is eternal life, salvation. That is a totally different issue than the Land promises God made to Abraham.

You are just confused.
