Kislev 24

[Keras]

When a date is mentioned 3 times in Bible Prophecy, we should take note of it.

It is the 24^th day of Kislev, which the Prophet Haggai quotes in, Haggai 2:10, 2:18. 2:20.

In the time of Haggai and Zechariah, it was the day marked for the promise that the redemption would ultimately come about, “not by power, nor by might, but by the Spirit of Yehovah”–but in the proper time. Zechariah 4:6

But in the time of the Maccabees, when Syrian ruler Antiochus 4 Epiphanes conquered the Jews and desecrated the Temple, he was defeated 1150 days later, Daniel 8:13-14, and it was on Kislev 24 that the Temple was cleansed and re-dedicated. That is why the festival of Hanukah is celebrated beginning at sundown, at the end of Kislev 24 and the following 7 days.

It was Sunday, December 9, 1917, Kislev 24: that General Allenby, leading the British forces, liberated Jerusalem for the first time in centuries from Turkish/Muslim rule. That evening the Jewish soldiers in the British army celebrated Hanukkah and worshipped at the Western Wall.

It can be discerned from Prophesies like Daniel 12:12, that the final fulfilment of Hanukkah, the re-dedication of the Third Temple, will be exactly 75 days after Jesus Returns, which is day 1260 after the Anti-Christ desecrates it. Daniel 9:27 & Revelation 13:5-8

 

However: the next and imminent fulfilment of the Prophecy of Haggai 2:22, is for the great and terrible Day when the Lord will; shake all the nations, overthrow rulers, break the power of the heathen peoples and destroy their military might.  

It will be the next Prophesied event, the Sixth Seal world changer.

There are 40 days from today until Kislev 24, in our year of 2022.

 

[Keras]

The Book of Haggai the prophet is dated circa 520BCE, the second year of the Persian king Darius. The three prophets, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi all belong to that critical period of the Jewish restoration to the holy Land, following the 70 years of Babylonian captivity. Careful reading of these three prophets shows that they understood this restoration of just the House of Judah to be only a preliminary, even a symbolic step to an eventual great restoration of all the 12 tribes of Israel. They had the writings of Jeremiah, especially his chapters 30 and 31, also Isaiah and Ezekiel prophesy about the eventual gathering and joining of Judah and Israel back into their heritage, so they knew that with only Judah coming back, the final days had not come. They prophesy the great promises of God, of His plan to have a people in all of the holy Land as His witnesses, displaying a light to the nations and proclaiming the gospel of the coming Kingdom.

Today we see the House of Judah again back in part of the holy Land. They fulfill the prophecy of Jesus about the budding of the fig tree. That they still do not represent the complete restoration, is evidenced by their confused religious beliefs and widespread denial of God and His precepts. The Jews at present in no way show themselves worthy to receive the holy Spirit, as is prophesied that all the true Israelites will receive in the last days.  So we await another gathering and settling of the Lord’s righteous people back into all of the Holy Land. In order for this to take place, the current inhabitants of all the area given to Abraham must be cleared out and the Land cleansed. Haggai tells us twice how that will be achieved: I shall shake the heavens and the earth, I shall overthrow kings, break the power of the heathen nations and destroy military strength. This refers to the Day of the Lord, a still to happen worldwide, judgement/punishment prophesied to completely clear the entire Middle East and devastate the whole earth. Deuteronomy 32:43, Ezekiel 30:1-5

The Word, as given to us through Haggai, reiterates three times the date of Kislev 24.

Firstly the example is given of how something holy becomes unclean by contact and the Lord says; The condition of the nation before Me is unclean and anything they offer to Me is unclean.

The second time  Kislev 24 is mentioned, the Lord says: I struck you with storms, mildew and poor crops, but you still did not return to Me, but now the foundation of the Temple is laid, I shall bless you.

The third time Kislev 24 is prophesied, it is the Day the Lord takes action, the terrible Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath, Many prophesies throughout the Bible describe this Day, a Day of extreme heat, winds, earthquakes and tsunamis, for which the only literal explanation is a coronal mass ejection sunstrike, a seemingly natural disaster that lets  secular people continue in their disbelief and sets the scene for the establishment of a One World Government, to be eventually ruled by a dictator.

That Kislev 24 is a very important date, is proved by how in the past, in 164 BCE, Kislev 24 was the day the Temple was rededicated after Antiochus 4^th Epiphanes was defeated. This is why the festival of Hanukah is celebrated on that day, commencing at evening. Then again on Kislev 24  1917, General Allenby liberated Jerusalem after defeating the Turks at Beersheba.

We can be sure that Kislev 24 is highly significant, for now the peoples are unclean and have not returned to the Lord in truth and righteousness. On that Day will come the terrible fire judgement, as Moses prophesied in Deut. 32:34-35 & 22, then from that Day forward the Lord will bless His people and the Land will be fruitful, they will build a Temple greater than the former and in the holy Land, He will grant shalom. [peace and security] Deut. 30:1-10

The Torah reading on the special Sabbath of Hanukah is:

 Zechariah 2:10-13 Sing, daughter of Zion, rejoice for the Lord is coming and His spirit will rest upon you. Many peoples will give their allegiance to Him on that Day and they will be His righteous people. Then you will know that the Lord has sent me to you. The Lord will claim Judah as His own portion of the holy Land and will make Jerusalem His choice. Be silent all of humanity, before the Lord, for He has roused Himself from His holy dwelling place.    Isaiah 42:14-15

Hi Keraz,

Very interesting. Good to find some one else who is looking at other dates. Now, I have also studied God`s dates in His word relating to past and future fulfillment. The main Feasts are well known, however, you have brought up a lesser known date and I also have seen that and another. This is what I have found.

1. Hannukkah - Rededication. (24th of Kislev - 2nd of Tevet) I believe the Lord will return in the middle of the period.

2. Purim - National Deliverance and Celebration. (14th & 15th of Adar). Note that is 75 days after Kislev.

What this post is about, is the possibility/probability of dramatic events on Kislev 24. Thousands of Kislev 24 days have passed and nothing serious has happened. Haggai tells us it will, in some future year.
I will post some more Prophecy that shows how things are converging toward that terrifying Day.

[Keras]

Most of the Western type nations have had recent political elections.

The real stand out of the results has been how close and narrow the margins are between the parties and ideologies.  This means that Governments have difficulty in passing legislation and must appease minority factions.

 

The Jewish State of Israel is the one that is the most worrying. They must show they are willing and capable of a quick and devastating response to the peoples who present an existential threat to them.

I, and most others who follow these things, are relieved to see Benyamin Netanyahu as Israel’s Leader again. He represents stability and security.

 

However, there is a unfulfilled Prophecy which may happen soon. In fact, there isn’t much time left for it to be fulfilled.  It is:

Micah  5:1 Now withdraw behind your walls, you people in a walled city, the siege is laid against us. The ruler of Israel is struck upon the cheek with a rod.

 

There seems to be a wrong placement of the Chapter division here. Micah 5:1 should be Micah 4:14.  Chapter 5:2-13, is Prophecy about Jesus and the Judgment of Judah and the evil neighbors on His Day of fiery wrath. Jeremiah 12:14, Zephaniah 1:14-18

 

The ‘walled’ and heavily defended State of Israel, has been under siege for 74 years, but now more so than ever, with the real threat of Iran’s nuke missiles.

A ‘rod’ is a slang term for a rifle. Micah would not have known he was looking at a snipers rifle.

 

 

 

 

[anastasis888]

The 24th of Kislev fell on Julian day December 19, AD 29 some 5 months before the Passion in April of AD 30.

 

December 19th is a curious date indeed as that is the very day in 6 BC that Jupiter went stationary in the sign of Aries.

 

You may have heard of a certain star of portent that Magi from the east observed.

[Keras]

Isaiah 3:1-7 The Lord is about to strip Judah of every prop and support. All of their leaders, generals, counselors and prophesiers. I shall appoint inexperienced people to positions of authority. Oppression and arrogance will stalk the Land. Isaiah 22:3

  Watch for some kind of disaster to strike Israel’s leaders. Micah 5:1b

 

Isaiah 3:8-9 Judah is brought low, for in word and deed, they defy the Lord. The look on their faces testifies against them. Like Sodom, they parade their sins. Woe betide them, they have earned the disaster that will strike them. Isa.22:4, Jer.17:1

  Tel Aviv: the ‘Gay capital of the world’.

 

Isaiah 3:10-11 Happy are the righteous. All goes well with them. Isaiah 26:7  Woe to the wicked, disaster is upon them. Isaiah 26:10, Hebrews 10:26-31

Isaiah 3:12 My people, those who guide you are leading you astray.        Jeremiah 23:1-2 The Lord stands up to judge His people. He opens the indictment against the elders and leaders; it is you who have ruined My vineyard. You have crushed My people and oppressed the poor.  Jeremiah 50:6

 

Isaiah 3:16-26 You women of Zion; I will take away your finery, instead of coifed hair, you will be bald.  Isaiah 32:9-11  Your men will fall by the sword, as in battle. Judah’s defences are stripped bare, all support removed. Isaiah 22:8  On that Day, seven women will ask one man for help and support.

 

Isaiah 4:2 On that Day, the plant that the Lord has grown will become glorious in its beauty and the Land will be fruitful, the pride of the survivors in the Land.

    In other translations “plant’ is rendered ‘Branch’ and assumed to refer to Jesus, but the “plant’’, nurtured by the Lord is the Christian peoples. Jesus is the tree trunk, we are the branches.

 

Isaiah 4:3-6 Those who remain in Jerusalem, whose survival was decreed, will be called holy. Isaiah 29:4, Zechariah 13:7-9 When the Lord washes away the filth of Jerusalem by a spirit of judgement burning like fire, He will create a cloud by day and a flame by night over Mt Zion, to be a covering for shade and shelter.

  This will be the same as the Lord did for ancient Israel, not as a visible Presence.

 

Isaiah 10:19 The Light of Israel will become a fire, their Holy One, a flame, that in a single day will burn up and consume His enemies. Zechariah 3:9, Isaiah 17:12-14

       The forests and pastures will suddenly be destroyed, only a few trees will remain.  Joel 1:15-20

      The great and terrible Day of the Lord’s fiery wrath; the Sixth Seal disaster.

 

Isaiah 10:23 On that Day, the remnant of Israel, the survivors of Jacob [all 12 tribes] will set their allegiance solely on the Lord. A remnant will return, a remnant of Jacob, will return to God, their strength. Israel, though you are as the sands of the sea – only a remnant will return. Isaiah 14:1-2 The Lord will carry out the destruction decreed upon the whole Land. Ezekiel 7:5-14, Isaiah 34:5, Zephaniah 1:1-18

 

 ‘Judah is brought low ‘, only a holy remnant saved. Romans 9:27  Then all the Christian Israelites of God will go to live in all of the holy Land. Isaiah 35:1-10, Ezekiel 34:11-16.

 

Isaiah tells of events soon to happen, the coming Day of the Lord’s destruction in the Middle East. Isaiah 29:1-4, Zephaniah 1:14-18, Revelation 6:12-17

 

A ‘single Day’ of a fire judgement, a seemingly natural occurrence of a huge solar flare.  Then; His people: faithful Christians from every tribe, race, nation and language, will go on a second Exodus to live in the holy Land, before the Return of Jesus.

People who think that life on our earth can continue as it is indefinitely are in denial of the reality that confronts us every day in the news about nations preparing for war and the increasing proliferation of natural disasters.

In many areas of the world at this time, there are countries with populations that   exceed the capability of their land to feed them. This is especially apparent in the Middle East and now with governmental policies in many of these nations, the regimes find themselves unable to fulfill the aspirations of their youthful populations. In their desperation to divert the anger of their hungry and unsatisfied peoples, these leaders will point to a scapegoat as the cause of their troubles. We already hear the leaders of Iran doing this and it is the State of Israel who is ‘the cancer in the midst of the Islamic lands’, that must be got rid of, then they assure their people; all will be well.

 

For anyone who looks at the success rate of diplomatic efforts to resolve international threats, it will be evident that an aggressive nation simply uses that process to buy time in their preparations for war. The Islamic code of Al Takkaya means that they are allowed, even encouraged, to use untruths and to abrogate treaties in order to advance their cause. But the intentions of Iran and its allies, have been made abundantly clear, they say: ‘We will wipe them out as a nation, Israel will be remembered no more’.

The amazing thing about this quote, is that it was written more that 3000 years ago as a prophecy and now, in the Bible we can read it in Psalms 83:4.

This Psalm lists the people groups who plot against Israel and it goes on to prophesy how those enemies will be vanquished, as the opponents of ancient Israel were.

 

The Bible consists of approximately one third of prophetic scripture. That which has been fulfilled proves its accuracy and the inspired revelation of the ancient prophets.

Now, we are very close to the time when the Creator God will act once again on the earth and the many prophecies about the end of this age will take place.

[Keras]

It seems that there are as many views of what God has planned for the end of this age, as there are people who study the subject. But there is only one actual future for us and those who teach false theories will be judged more severely. James 3:1

Then there is the bulk of Christians, who just simply don’t want to know, or find the prophetic Word just too hard to comprehend.

 

In our Bible, we are told: God does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants. Amos 3:7 Paul says: We are not in the dark, the Day of sudden destruction will not come upon us like a thief. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6

We see in 2 Thessalonians 2:11… God puts those who do not open their minds to the love of the truth, under a compelling delusion, which makes them believe what is false.   Then in Isaiah 29:9-14, talking to us, that is: the Christian peoples, the Laodicean Church of today; we are…. pitiful wretches, we attend ‘church’ but our hearts are far from the Lord. Our worship is by rote and made up of rules taught from men. Therefore once more the Lord will astound His people, shock and amaze us.

Most of us won’t know His plans, because the wisdom of the wise will be removed and the discernment of the intelligent will be lost. Matthew 11:25

 

The Day is coming; When the wicked and godless will vanish and all who love evil will be cut down. Isaiah 29:20-21, Isaiah 66:15-17, Psalm 83, Rev. 6:12-17

 Then: In that Day; the deaf will hear the words of scripture and the blinded will see through the impenetrable darkness. Isaiah 29:18 & 24 The lowly will once again rejoice in the Lord, as the Holy Land is regenerated into a fruitful garden Land.  Ezekiel 36:8, Amos 9:13-15, Isaiah 35

That Day of fire and tempest, Malachi 4:1-3, is not a Day for all who believe in the Lord to panic or be frightened, for Righteousness will rise among them, as the Lord heals the wounds [of spiritual and physical exile, Ezekiel 37] inflicted upon His people. Isaiah 30:25-30, Zephaniah 3:8-10, Revelation 7:9-17, Luke 21:26-28

 

This is what we look forward to, our great hope for the future:

Ezekiel 34:11-16 Now, [that is: soon after the Day of the Lord’s wrath against the nations] I, Myself will search for and gather My people, I will rescue them for wherever they are scattered after that Day of cloud and darkness. I shall lead them out of the nations, Micah 2:12-13, Psalms 107, Isaiah 35 and bring them home to their own country. I shall make a Covenant with them to ensure peace and prosperity and they will have good leaders. Ezekiel 34:23-31, Jeremiah 30:21, Hosea 1:11

 

After they are settled, Jeremiah 30 & 31, the Lord will summon Gog to come down from the north and invade the Land recently restored from ruin, whose people are gathered from many nations and are now settled and prosperous. Ezekiel 38:8

This is in order for the Lord, through His people, to show Himself great and holy to the nations. Ezekiel 38:16

Later, the Leader of the One World Government, a ten region confederation, Daniel 7:24, Rev 17:12-13, will come to the new nation of Beulah, Isaiah 62:1-5, and make a seven year treaty of peace with them. Daniel 9:27, He will break it at the mid-point and invade Beulah. Zechariah 14:1-2

Those people who refused to agree to a treaty with the leader of the OWG, will be taken to a place of safety for the final 3 ½ years of this age. Revelation 12:14

Those who did agree, Isaiah 28:14-15, must remain. Zephaniah 14:1-2, Revelation 12:17

But this conquest of the holy Christian peoples, Daniel 7:25, Revelation 15:5-8, will trigger the Great Tribulation trumpet and bowl punishments.

Then; 1260 days later, the Lord Jesus will Return, destroy those attackers of Jerusalem, bind up Satan and commence His Millennial reign.

[Keras]

Habakkuk 2:1-20 I will stand on the ramparts and learn what the Lord is saying to us.  The Lord says: Write this down and make it clear for all to see; The prophecies await the appointed time, they speak of the time of the end and will not prove false. Though they delay, wait for it, all will surely come before too long.

The reckless will lack an assured future, while the righteous will live by being faithful.

As for the person who is proud, arrogant and treacherous; they will not win in the end, because they are as greedy as the grave. The nations and peoples follow in this error, but surely they will face ridicule and those who have ill-gotten gains will be scorned. Their debtors will suddenly rise up and the creditors will become victims, instead.

Those who have shed blood and inflicted violence to cities and have plundered nations, now; the rest of the world will plunder you.

            Woe betide those who seek unjust gain, their schemes will bring dishonour and put their lives at risk.

            Woe betide those who build their lives on crime and lies. Those nations labour for a pittance and their peoples exhaust themselves for nothing.

           Woe betide those who make others drink the outpouring of God’s wrath, they will be filled with shame when it is their turn to face judgement.

           Woe to those who seek guidance from idols or divinators, they are useless and of no value.

The Lord is in His Holy Temple, let all the earth be silent in His presence.

Bible prophecy does tell us what will happen ‘at the appointed time’. James 5:7-11

The proud and arrogant peoples will be brought low. Psalms 5:5-6 While the godless face insecurity, those who discern the end times and understand the prophetic Word, will maintain their faith and live in quiet trust for a blessed future. Isaiah 30:15, Proverbs 3:5

The ‘cup of God’s wrath’, is symbolic of His anger. Jeremiah 25:15-38

In Noah’s day, God’s wrath came as a flood, but now we are told: the earth is reserved for burning…2 Peter 3:5-7 and in Deut. 32:22 & 34-35 I have sealed up in My storehouse, a fire, set ablaze by My anger, waiting the Day of punishment and vengeance. Psalms 50:3-6

 

It will be poured out upon all the world, Isaiah 2:12-21, Revelation 6:12-17, but especially onto the Middle East region. Psalms 83:1-8, Ezekiel 30:1-5, as the great and terrible Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath, a C.M.E. sunstrike, that will be a world changing event. Huge numbers will be killed, Jeremiah 9:22, Isaiah 66:16 and as the survivors recover, they will form a One World government. Daniel 7:23-24, Revelation 17:12

 

Meanwhile, those who have kept their faith and trust in the Lord, Jeremiah 7:7-8, will be motivated to emigrate to the Holy Land, where they will settle and live peacefully. Isaiah 62:1-5, Psalm 107

Those who follow their own lusts and desires will ‘lack an assured future’, that is they may survive the forthcoming fire judgement, but must face the Great Tribulation. On the other hand, the righteous will live under the care and protection of the Lord. Amos 9:13-15, Isaiah 24:4, Jer. 33:12-13, Col. 1:11-12

The Shekinah Glory will return to the new Temple, in Jerusalem. Ezekiel 43:2 Then, after all that is prophesied in Revelation, from 6:12 to 19:10; has taken place: Jesus will Return to reign for 1000 years.
