Tick Tock To Midnight- The Man Of Sin, The Lawless One

by Les Pruitt

  1. Babylonian Talmud. “A monumental work of scholarship, the … heart and soul of the Jewish people … law and ethics … investment strategy and unhealthful practices” and state of preparation for the messianic advent of their Messiah.67

  2. Jerusalem Talmud. Primarily focused “in the Holy Land—retaining concern about agricultural strictures (including tithes, etc.) while the BT offered wider views on trade and business concerns … retained discussions about the Temples sacrificial order … it was the BT that was printed first.”68

  During the arrival of Christ within the Roman Empire, there were many pagan religious practices and much hypocrisy among the Jews, which disgusted God. He declared, “I, even I, am against you. And I will execute judgments in your midst in the sight of the nations” (Ezek. 5:8, ESV). So, what happen next is now written in biblical history because Christ predicted the final fate of Rome and the second temple: “not one stone here will be left upon another; every one will be thrown down” (Matt. 24:2). What if one reason Christ stated this was the fact that since he was rejected, and upon His resurrection, there would no longer be any need of sacrificial offerings? Christ was the last sacrifice required for the forgiveness of humanity’s sins and lawlessness. Figuratively speaking, the Jews chose Christ to be sacrificed, and little did they realize it was spiritually designed for their sins, if only they would repent and believe in the life, death, and resurrection of the One spoken about in their Torah. Most still don’t accept Christ. What if this is where the adversary of God, Satan, will cause many to weep in anguish after realizing they have pledged allegiance to Satan instead of God through His Son Christ, the Lamb of God?

  Noah’s Law

  “The Seven Laws of Noah … are a set of imperatives which, according to the Talmud, were given by God as a binding set of laws for the ‘children of Noah’—that is, all of humanity.”69 Was God being easy on us after realizing the Torah—especially all ten commandments—was just too difficult for modern humans to uphold?

  Third Temple Reconstruction

  The Temple Institute

  In accordance with scripture, the building of the third temple is a spiritual temple established by Christ’s second coming, not a literal temple as professed by many—especially those in the nation of Israel whose ancestors trace back to the Khazarian Kingdom, converting to Judaism prior to entering Western Europe. These are the ones who execute the workings of Antichrist and its practices, along with global partners toward their vision of a New World Order of government and religion.

  For example, the Temple Institute—knowing that end days are near—has posted a two-part video series titled “Will the Holy Temple Descend from Heaven?”70 That should be a no-brainer; it shouldn’t even be up for debate. The answer is found in the Book of Revelation. This video clearly refutes God’s command in the Book of Revelation not to change what has been written. Once again, the nation of Israel seems to be transgressing against the laws and commandments of God.

  What if the coming wrath of God is truly against the nation of Israel and against the Gentile nations for their sin and lawlessness? It seems like the Beasts, the nations of America and Israel, in conjunction with other nations are supporting the relocation of the US Embassy to Jerusalem in order to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

  If one thinks outside their personal views and looks at prophecy and other biblical scripture concerning Israel, one will begin to understand why there’s so much chaos between the nations of Israel and Palestine.

  Not only are Jewish imposters controlling political and domestic affairs, they wish to establish a false earthly kingdom. The nefarious ones have historically been aligned with a false mandate, tainted with pagan ideologies, to sow more chaos and transgression to make Jerusalem an official part of Israel. Does any human think God needs President Netanyahu or President Trump to make the coming New Jerusalem an earthly domain?

  Could it be that some earthly demagogue’s grand design is to further support the Zionists for this purpose? To ultimately rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem? Could this be considered an abomination, surely not the biblical depiction of a spiritual resettlement by the second coming of Christ.

  As members of God’s Church, steadfast believers must fear not, for it is already predicted by man and prophesied by the prophets that “a major earthquake is statistically due in the region with a serious one arriving every 80–100 years. The last major earthquake to hit the region was in 1927.”71 Then the next major earthquake due to devastate Jerusalem might coincide with Christ’s second coming with “the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God” (Rev. 21:2). Never before in modern human history has so many signs and events lined up to point towards the fulfillment of Revelation.

  Simultaneously, behind the scenes, Satan and his operatives consistently play chess with the continued existence of humanity in order to control the world’s gold supply and to rebuild the third temple. There are many debates as to why nations and kings of the earth have hoarded tons of precious metals. What if one purpose is for building parts of the temple’s inner sanctuary? Christ and the new Jerusalem will descend from heaven for all to see, so how did this biblical concept change? Maybe, as humanity approaches closer to end of days, distinguishing the truth from lies will become even more muddier due to the appearance of Donald J. Trump onto the world stage. What if his current suggestion to his base is just a prelude for what’s to come? “Mr. Trump is doubling down in his efforts to tell his supporters to trust him over the words of” those who attempt to oppose or reveal his true character.72

  Mankind has always debated and justified their actions, many times contrary to written scripture of Deuteronomy and Revelation. What if in the near future, someone of prominent political or religious status begin to proclaim that the Book of Revelation is false, fake news? “At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it” (Matt. 23:23).

  These books specifically state that humankind should “not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you” (Deut. 4:2, NASB). Similarly, the Book of Revelation states, “I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book” (Rev. 22:18, NASB).

  Building the Third Temple

  America and the world is currently witnessing a massive political smokescreen. And, we should begin looking through the constant distractions and deceptions to see what path the antichrist system with their global alliance are headed. For example, the U.S. Embassy relocation to Jerusalem needed an enabler - Donald J. Trump became that candidate. And, his son-in-law, Jared Kushner became the enabler to formulate the only deal for cessation of host
ilities between Israel and Palestine.

  You may ask, why is this cause for alarm? Because, these political accomplishments are energizing the Zionists of Israel to rebuild the Jewish temple, after Ben Zarit of the Israeli Defense Ministry developed plans to relocate the Muslim’s Al Aqsa Mosque to the Gaza Strip - a move that will surely ignite a Muslim backlash, a conflict no one really want to witness. What if this conflict ushers in the False Messiah and Mark of the Beast?

  This would give Israel full access beyond the Western Wall, “the holiest place where Jews are permitted to pray, though it is not the holiest site in the Jewish faith, which lies behind the Temple Mount. Certain factions of Jews and Gentiles, backed by their nefarious puppet masters, control 90% of the world’s wealth. And, with Satan’s influence they plan to disrupt, and destroy any opposition on planet earth in-order to accomplish their final agenda: a one-world government.

  As it was in Babylon, they began worshiping a pagan god. And, “in the years 722–721 BC, the Ten Tribes who comprised the northern Kingdom … disappeared. Conquered by” Assyrians and deported “to upper Mesopotamia and Mede … modern Syria and Iraq.”73 The Israelites were God’s most beloved nation, but they decided to follow a new path after the death of King Solomon. After sending them into captivity, the Lord “rejected all the people of Israel; he afflicted them and gave them into the hands of plunderers … he tore Israel away from the house of David, [then] they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat their king” (2 Kings 17:20–21).

  The Lord also chastised Jeroboam for teaching a false religion to the nation of Israel. I am sure old Jeroboam shifted blame on Israel. There’s an old saying: You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink. And Israel quite likely blamed Jeroboam; Israel had no excuse. Old Jeroboam was like Satan, like our 45th president, with such a strong influence over the masses that he’s causing Americans to turn on one another and do the will of the nefarious ones both in and out of government.

  The nations of Israel and Judah turned against God’s rules and commandments while they were in the wilderness after being led out of Egypt. The United States of America is the new wilderness of the oppressed and enslaved who have come by divine journey to this new land.

  The Assyrians took God’s chosen people into captivity. After the nation caused trouble in Assyria, the Assyrian King “deported the Israelites en masse, to what is now northern Iran, just south of the Caspian Sea” (http://www.thekeyofknowledge.net/General/XN_Parthian.html). A little known fact is that the Persians treated God’s chosen people more humanely than did other kingdoms. There was no recorded persecution of Jews in Iran, an Arab nation.

  Can you connect the dots? Some of America’s mainstream media portrayed Rafsanjani, then Prime Minister of Iran, as a Hitler because his sentiments of the Jews in Israel were like those in Europe—troublemakers and fake Jews. Actually, Hitler and Rafsanjani really meant they were Jews on the outside but were like the ones God had given over to the hand of plunderers because of their continued transgression after his covenant with them.

  Little did Hitler, Rafsanjani, or any other previous world leader know they were only role-players in God’s grand plan to bring some dry bones to life. The Holocaust was truly a horrific punishment. But, what if it was God’s way of reeastablishing a nation? Not just for white Jews as depicted mostly in the media controlled by the globalists (oligarchy) and their nefarious alliances. Because, how could the Jews have left Black and returned White?

  But no man can understand the ways of the Lord, except by that which has been written. Not from some new edition on a dusty bookshelf. Seeking spiritual truths allows a glimpse of the writing on the wall.

  Through a certain lens, you might argue that scripture supports the idea that God may purge bad seeds from the bloodline of ancient Israelites. Consider the following verses:

  1. “The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the LORD will drive you” (Deut. 4:27).

  2. “And that He would cast their seed among the nations” (Ps. 106:27, NASB).

  3. “‘For I am with you,’ declares the LORD, ‘to save you; For I will destroy completely all the nations where I have scattered you, only I will not destroy you completely. But I will chasten you justly and will by no means leave you unpunished’” (Jer. 30:11, NASB).

  4. “Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Though I had removed them far away among the nations and though I had scattered them among the countries, yet I was a sanctuary for them a little while in the countries where they had gone”’” (Ezek. 11:16, NASB).

  After the nation of Israel was reestablished, they developed a powerful military. However, because of the nefarious ones of the West, many Jews were still not depending on the Lord. They quickly developed nuclear weapons on the premise that they might experience another Holocaust.

  Instead of depending on the Lord to give them guidance for protection, they immediately returned to their old mischief and created resentment among fellow Arabs in the same ancient land of Israel, pitching the nation of Israel into perpetual violent conflict with the Palestinians and many other Arabs.

  Many nefarious ones in America, like that ancient bloodline of Jeroboam, became the greatest influence on America’s domestic and foreign policies. Israel was to become America’s apple pie (democracy) in the Middle East—or at least they thought so. This approach has brought the West, particularly America, into the quagmire we are involved in today: a war for oil and a war on terrorism, actually social rebellion against Western encroachment on Arab land.

  That ideology depends on which side of the fence you’re living on. Both sides have caused horrific and unnecessary tragedy and death.

  In the days of the Roman Empire, Israelites were a fierce and warlike people. Centuries later, these peoples would merge with others to become the Parthians, the scourge of the Roman Empire.

  Daniel’s Visions

  Seventy-Weeks of Years Prophecy

  Now here’s something to watch for in the years ahead as we approach 2020, based on the possible seventy-year prophecy of Daniel:

  Seventy weeks are decreed for your people and your holy city to stop their transgression, to put an end to sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place. Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, until the Messiah, the Prince, there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of distress. Then after the sixty-two weeks, the Messiah will be cut off and will have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood, and until the end there will be war; desolations have been decreed. (Dan. 9:24–27, BSB)

  The breakdown of the seventy weeks is as follows:

  7 weeks of years for rebuilding of Jerusalem (verse 25)

  62 weeks of years to the Messiah (verses 25–26)

  1 week of years to the close of the period (verse 27)

  May 14, 1948, “the day before the expiration of the British Mandate, David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency” announced the good news of a new Jewish nation for Israel. However, it didn’t become official for execution until January 1950.74
<
br />   What if the year 1950 initiated the last phase toward the completion of Daniel’s seventy-year prophecy? The only way to discern whether this is true is to become more watchful as we approach 2020.

  January 2020 would be the seventy-year mark. “The terms of this covenant are not … clear … perhaps … a military alliance that will enable the Antichrist to gain power over the 10 kingdoms during the first 3 1/2 years.”75

  Seven-Year Covenant

  We must keep a few important facts in mind, ancient prophecies have always provided us with an orderly procession toward the end of days but never an exact date of the second coming of Christ.

  Therefore, the appearance of the False Messiah/Antichrist on the world stage will likely precipitate some historical events the likes of which we haven’t seen in the last two centuries.

  Scripture tells us that the False Messiah will “confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him” (Dan. 9:27).

  Could humanity have avoided this prophetic apocalypse by abiding by societal morals derived from the law of Moses and law of Noah? Only time will tell, since never before in human history have so many global and astrological events pointed toward end of days in accordance with biblical prophecy.

  The world is witnessing the rise of new unpreventable diseases and plagues, global conflict and war, severe climate change, and astronomical phenomena. And this is the only period in Israel’s history as a new nation to rebuild a temple for worship and sacrifice. Many prominent voices argue that this historic project will cause international tensions to erupt and spread resentment throughout the global community, beginning with the Arab world.
