When will the Time of the End Be?
When Will the Time of the End Be?

October 15, 2016
How often have we heard someone proclaim that he or she knows when the prophesied “Time of the End” will be? The latest that I heard was a study called “Daniel’s Timeline”. You can find this report at:
http://www.danielstimeline.com/danielstimeline.html
The following is a time chart representing Daniel’s Timeline, copied from that site.
You will notice the starting date of Daniel’s timeline on the left. That was roughly around the time of the Balfour Declaration granting the modern-day land of Israel to the Jews. It presumably ends with the appearance of the Virgin (sun over her head and moon under her feet) on September 23rd, 2017.
You will also notice that according to the author, Yahushua is scheduled to return this year (2016). If He were to return at any time of the year, I would expect it to be on the day of the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah), which has already passed. But I could be mistaken. Perhaps he will return on the birth date of the pagan messiah (Tammuz) on December 25th. What do I know?
That is the point! NO ONE KNOWS! Yahushua Himself told us that no man knows, not even the Son of Elohim.
Matt. 24:36 - But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 - But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 - For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
39 - And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
When are we going to start believing the Word of Elohim over the word of man? This has been mankind’s chief problem ever since he was created; and, he still hasn’t learned.
Now, I cannot blame people for getting all excited concerning the Time of the End and the return of Yahushua. That will indeed be an exciting time – one that we have long looked forward to. But the simple truth is that every generation of man have looked forward to the same thing thinking it would certainly come in their life-times – even the apostles. And, it didn’t/hasn’t. As my life is edging closer and closer to the end, I am beginning to doubt that it will come in my life-time either.
The stories coming out of the news media sources today are all proclaiming that the US and Russia are dangerously close to going to war with one another. This could be the “Big One” that the entire earth has been dreading. Or, our top leaders could come to their senses and negotiate a truce.
I cannot see this as being the Time of the End; the reason being that the tribulation is to precede the end time return of Yahushua. That will be a 7 year period where mankind will be made to endure some of the most horrific atrocities of his entire existence. As far as I am concerned, what we are experiencing today will be nothing compared to the Tribulation period.
According to Scriptures, the beginning of the Tribulation will coincide with the manifestation of the two end-time witnesses operating out of Jerusalem. These will be two men imbued with the power and authority of All Mighty Yahuwah to bring the Creator’s wrath upon the earth. The following is what the Scriptures say will occur during their 3 ½ years on the earth:
Rev. 11:1 - And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of Elohim, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 2 - But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. 3 - And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. 4 - These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the Elohim of the earth. 5 - And if any man will hurt them, fire proceeds out of their mouth, and devours their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. 6 - These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. 7 - And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascended out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. 8 - And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Master was crucified. 9 - And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. 10 - And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. 11 - And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from Elohim entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
If the Daniel’s Timeline Report were true, these events would have already happened and the whole world would be aware of them. None of these prophesied events connected to the Tribulation have yet occurred. The two witnesses make their début during the first 3 ½ years of the Tribulation. According to Daniel’s Timeline, that would have ended in 2013. Sorry, it just didn’t happen. If it had, it would have certainly been bigger news than today’s US election coverage.
14 - The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe comes quickly.
The 2nd woe is the manifestation of the two witnesses and occurs during the first half of the Tribulation. Their manifestation will coincide with Jerusalem being overrun with foreign armies (Gentiles) for 3 ½ years.
The second half of the tribulation is identified as the 3rd woe. So what is the third woe? Revelation reveals the following:
1 - The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Elohim, and of his Mashiyack;
2 - And the temple of Elohim was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
3 - And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
4 - And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
5 - And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto Elohim, and to his throne.
6 - And the woman fled into the wilderness, ... that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
7 - And there was war in heaven:
8 - And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, - Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he hath but a short time.
9 - And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
10 - And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
11 - And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of Elohim, and have the testimony of Yahushua HaMashiyack.
These events mark the third woe and the second half of the Tribulation. When talking about the man-child, it appears dualistic in nature, as much prophesy is, which has led some to suspect a similar appearance (of the virgin) in the year HaMashiyack was born. In checking on the web I found opposing sides of this issue and am not qualified to render my own conclusion. So if anyone has an astrological program that could determine that fact, I would appreciate hearing from you.
In regards to the sign of the virgin, there are three determining factors that must appear at the same moment in time.
1 – The sun must be above her head. Or, that is the common interpretation. Another site I found claimed the term meant that the sun must appear over the body for it to be “clothed in the sun”.
2 – The moon must be at her feet.
3 – Her head must be crowned with 12 stars. Some claim there are always 12, others claim there are only 9 and that the alignment of Mars, Mercury and Venice to make up the 12.
It is the third marker that some claim makes this particular sign unique. Are they twelve stars, twelve planets or Jupiter? Why Jupiter, you ask? Jupiter is known as the “kingly planet”. It is said to represent HaMashiyack – thus they conclude Jupiter represents the twelve points (tribes) of HaMashiyack’s crown.
It would seem to me that marker 5 is talking about Yahushua’s first coming, and of Mary and Yahushua specifically, when they fled to Egypt. The other references appear to be talking of the flight of the church, which is symbolic of the Saviour’s flight to Egypt.
For the woman to go into the wilderness for 3 ½ years, following the former 3 ½ of the two witnesses, this event must begin exactly in the middle of the 7 year Tribulation; pretty much immediately following the death and resurrection of the two witnesses..
Therefore, when we put all of these events together that are supposed to occur in both the first and latter half of the Tribulation, we can see that none have occurred yet.
We have no reports of the end-time witnesses prophesying out of Jerusalem dressed in sackcloth. .
The earth is not in the midst of a 3 ½ year drought, nor has it passed through one in recent years.
I am sure we would have heard if some strange dudes in Jerusalem were breathing fire out of their mouths and barbequing their enemies, turning the global water supply blood red (red algae), and calling down all sorts of horrific plagues upon the earth. None of this has happened yet. Therefore, we cannot be in the first half of the Tribulation yet. Therefore, this may not be the sign of the virgin we are looking for.
Before you start thinking I have lost my mind, remember, we cannot go by the Gregorian calendar when calculating Yahuwah’s timetable. We must use the Hebraic calendar, according to which, we are in the year 5776. Since the scriptures tell us that the time allowed to man is 6,000 years, that means that there are still 224 years left to the end of man’s self rule (roughly in the year 2240). My question is, will there be another appearing of the virgin, under similar circumstances closer to the end of that time period. Again, I do not have an astrology program to help me answer that question. One site I visited only went 150 years into the future and the past and reported no similar occurrences. That does not satisfy my question.
Another site I visited claimed that the sign of the Virgin marked the beginning of the Tribulation, but that does not jive with prophesy either. The manifestation of the two witnesses and Jerusalem being trodden under foot for 3 ½ years is clearly the first woe and will take place during the first half of the tribulation. The sign of the Virgin clearly marks the half way point of the Tribulation and the beginning of the second 3 1/3 year period. Believe me; we will know when the Tribulation is upon us.
Here are some more prophesies related to the third woe and the 2nd half of the Tribulation. They basically address the coming One World Religion that the Global Elite are herding us toward. Like the one world religion of Constantine’s day (Christianity) this one will also convert by force.
Rev. 12:17 - And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of Elohim, and have the testimony of Yahushua HaMashiyack.
Since the Christian community believes the Law of Yahuwah is done away and only pay lip service to the 10 Commandments – this description leaves them out of the picture. They will be those who convert out of fear for their lives. The ones who do not (refuse) convert will be the True Believers, who alone keep the Commandments and the true testimony of Yahushua HaMashiyack.
13:4 - And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
No True Believer will be saying any of these things. They will not bend the knee or prostrate themselves before the Beast or the Dragon or the image.
5 - And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 - And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against Elohim, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
The time of the Beast will be short-lived, a mere 3 ½ years.
7 - And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
The saints who are not whisked away to a “place of safety” will be made to confront the Beast. Most will be made to suffer martyrdom. This does not mean that they lost the battle. If they persevere till the moment of death, they may lose their physical life, but gain that which is spiritual. It is a sacrifice well worth the torture.
8 - And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
As for the rest of the world, they will gladly worship the Beast and bear his mark. Like Patty Hearst, they will all be under the spell of the Stockholm syndrome, worshipping their captor and master. The true saints alone will resist and stand up for Yahuwah.
11 - And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.
The False Prophet! (The Roman Catholic Church/Pope).
12 - And he exercised all the power of the first beast before him, and caused the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, who’s deadly wound was healed.
Emperor worship has been a mark of pagan worship since the time of Nimrod and Mystery Babylon. However, this verse is speaking of Rome. It did eventually fall in the 6th century, but certainly did not die. It was only wounded. The leaders of Rome hid themselves within the RCC and have ruled their empire from Rome since that day to this. Thus it is the False Prophet (The RCC) that gives its power to the Beast (Rome). Of course another who fits the description of the Beast is HaSatan himself.
13 - And he doeth great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 - And deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
HaSatan could not have this power unless Yahuwah gave it to him. Why would Yahuwah do that? Typically, Yahuwah has always used the enemies of Israel to bring punishment upon them. This time He will use the enemy of all mankind, HaSatan, to punish the entire human race. While that may sound cruel, if it turns the hearts of even a few towards Yahuwah, it will be well worth it.
15 - And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
With all the technology today this should be a simple task.
16 - And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 - And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Microchip anyone?
These are all the events to take place in the 3 ½ years immediately preceding the return of HaMashiyack. None have happened yet. Therefore Yahushua cannot be returning this year. And, I believe it highly likely that this “sign of the Virgin” is not the one we are looking for.
Again, I have searched for hours and cannot find a source that can tell me if there will be another occurrence of this sign around the 6,000 year mark on the Hebrew calendar. Any help would be appreciated.
I cannot emphasize enough that every generation of believer has thought they were living in the last days, but have been disappointed. But at the same time, they were to be pursuing their spiritual growth as if they were living in the last days. We only have to the end of our physical lives to get it right. Whatever our life’s circumstances, that is our own personal “Tribulation”. Whatever personal trial that may entail, we are challenged to handle it right, in a manner that Yahuwah would.
Let me put this under a slightly different light. To anyone familiar with the recently discovered “Bible Codes”, you know that these codes can accurately tell us what has already occurred, but they cannot tell us what will happen in the future. Bible prophesy tells us generally what is going to happen, but does not tell us when. All the efforts of man to try to foretell these events have failed. Yet, man will keep chasing his tail in this hopeless pursuit, just because that is what he likes to do. The spirit world must be having a good laugh over that one.
There were two other times in recent history when the tail chasers were predicting the end of days. Theses times were called WW1 and WW2. Today, we are also being warned of the coming third world war and that it will end up in nuclear annihilation. All came from the imagination of a 19th century 32nd degree Mason by the name of Albert Pike. So far the first two world wars have gone off without a hitch and fully completed their objectives. There is no reason to doubt that WW3 won’t be equally successful.
Here is what Pike prescribed:
Albert Pike's letter to Mazzini, dated August 15, 1871:
"The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making that country a fortress of atheistic Communism. The divergences caused by the "agentur" (agents) of the Illuminati between the British and Germanic Empires will be used to foment this war. At the end of the war, Communism will be built and used in order to destroy the other governments and in order to weaken the religions."
"The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the final social cataclysm."
"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time."
It certainly seems like we are close to this critical point right now, but for those who have lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis and the subsequent “Cold War” between the USSR and USA, you know this is not the first time we were this close. In recent news, Russia has announced they would like to build a naval/airbase in Cuba. The US will never allow that.
Also in current news, the new Philippine President is considering breaking ties with America to stand with Russia and China. Given that the US has a very strategic naval base there, I cannot see that happening without a fight. The US may repeat what they did to Noriega in Nicaragua.
And then there is North Korea. No one has a clue how that one is going to play out.
Matt. 24:6 - And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that you be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
This passage goes on describing some of the things that must come to pass before the end of the age.
15 - When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whosoever reads this, let him understand:)
21 - For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 - And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
The tribulation begins with the Gentile takeover of Jerusalem. They will erect an idol called here “the abomination of desolation”. All will be made to bow before it or die. If they repeat the deplorable acts of the previous Greek Empire, they will likely sacrifice pigs on the altar.
This will be a time unequalled in barbarity and outright slaughter. As bad as previous times were, they will pale in comparison. I do not feel that we have experienced anything even remotely fitting this description so far.
The shortening of these days will only come about via spiritual interference. That is when HaMashiyack will return and bring the planet to its knees.
Getting back to Matt.24:6, the earth is going to be completely embroiled in war when the end comes. The nukes might be half way to their targets when Yahuwah intervenes (we hope). Something or someone is going to stop it in its tracks. Thank Yahuwah.
The point is, that no one knows the day or the hour that all of this is going to happen. That is the way it was meant to be and that is the way it will be. Anyone who believes they know different is a false prophet. Do not believe them. Be patient and wait on the Master. There will be no mistaking when He does finally come.
However, do not get caught up in the folly of thinking that the Master “delays his coming”.
Yahuwah knows the day and the hour. He is not guessing or playing things by ear. He does have everything figured out and timed precisely.
The only thing that we have to be mindful of is the end of our own physical lives and what we have done with the talent given us. Have we increased one fold, two fold or tenfold? Have we increased it at all? This should be our prime purpose. Nothing else matters. If we remain focussed on this one thing, everything else will naturally fall in place. If we are awaiting some specific supernatural event to begin taking our calling seriously, we just may find ourselves on the outside, looking in. And, that is not a place we want to be.
The place we want to be is where we are so imbued with the nature-changing spirit of Yahuwah that we are as close to being Yahuwah as is humanly possible. We might never achieve perfection at this stage but we should be found striving with all our ability to become perfect.
I know that we all dream of being part of the 144,000. I believe that the odds of anyone living today, being part of that sealing, is very remote. It is simply a ways off yet. Therefore our best hope is being part of the first resurrection.
Rev. 20:4 - And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Yahushua, and for the word of Elohim, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with HaMashiyack a thousand years. 5 - But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 - Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of Elohim and of HaMashiyack, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
This is the goal we should realistically be setting our sights on. If things change quickly and we do find ourselves in the tribulation and we may be fortunate enough to be part of the 144,000. If not, we will be the ones that go down in history as the ones who faced the Beast head on and won. We win by holding on to our faith until we draw our last breath. The ones who face this trial may be the ones who receive the greatest reward.
Like I said before and as I have always challenged – don’t believe me (or any other man), but search and prove everything for yourselves. Focus on being shepherds, not sheep. And most of all, pray that our efforts are acceptable to Yahuwah and worthy of salvation.
Yahuwah Bless
