Wave of events.
Once the warning
message is given to Israel,
there will be a wave of events which will occur on the
modern day nations of Israel.
God
is very fair, He sends His watchman to give a warning
message to the Nations of Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, Canada, and the United States of
America.
Isa 9:8 The Lord
sent a word against Jacob, And it has fallen on Israel.
The warning
message tells of the sins of the nations and how they
must repent and return to following and believing
God. If the nations will not repent and return
to God then they will bear the brunt of God’s wrath
this is in the form of four judgments which will kill
2/3rds of Israel with the plague, famine, wild beasts
and war, the remaining 1/3rd will go into
captivity. Only 1/10th of Israel
will actually come out of captivity.
Before this
happens God warns the nations through His
watchman.
Eze 3:1 Moreover
He said to me, "Son of man, eat what you find; eat
this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel."
The scriptures
reveal that the above destruction comes in waves, each
one becoming worse, each time God waits and looks for
Israel
to repent and return to Him. If they do not do
this, the next wave of events will be worse than the
one before it. The following scriptures describe
this terrible time just ahead of us now.
1ST WAVE
Lev 26:16 I also
will do this to you: I will even appoint terror over
you, wasting disease and fever which shall consume
the eyes and cause sorrow of heart. And you shall
sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat
it.
Lev 26:17 I will set
My face against you, and you shall be defeated by
your enemies. Those who hate you shall reign over
you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you.
Lev 26:18 'And after
all this, if you do not obey Me, then I will punish
you seven times more for your sins.
Isa 9:10 "The
bricks have fallen down, But we will rebuild with
hewn stones; The sycamores are cut down, But we will
replace them
with cedars."
Isa 9:11 Therefore
the LORD shall set up The adversaries of Rezin
against him, And spur his enemies on,
Isa 9:12 The
Syrians before and the Philistines behind; And they
shall devour Israel
with an open mouth. For all this His anger is not
turned away, But His hand is
stretched out still.
Amo 4:6 "Also I
gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities. And
lack of bread in all your places; Yet you have not
returned to Me," Says the LORD.

does not return to God and so we see that it is
necessary for the 2nd wave of events to occur.
2ND WAVE
Isa 9:14 Therefore

a hypocrite and an evildoer, And every mouth speaks
folly. For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is
stretched out still.
Amo 4:7 "I also
withheld rain from you, When there were
still three months to the harvest. I made it rain on
one city, I withheld rain from another city. One
part was rained upon, And where it did not rain the
part withered.

three cities wandered to another city to drink
water, But they were not satisfied; Yet you have not

will change the rain of your land to powder and
dust; from the heaven it shall come down on you

Me," Says the LORD.

5TH WAVE
Isa 10:5 "Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger
And the staff in whose hand is My indignation.
Isa 10:6 I will
send him against an ungodly nation, And against the
people of My wrath I will give him charge, To seize
the spoil, to take the prey, And to tread them down
like the mire of the streets.
Isa 10:7 Yet he
does not mean so, Nor does his heart think so; But it is in
his heart to destroy, And cut off not a few nations.
Isa 10:8 For he
says, 'Are
not my princes altogether kings?
Isa 10:9 Is not
Calno like Carchemish?
Is
not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?
Isa 10:10 As my hand
has found the kingdoms of the idols, Whose carved
images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
Isa 10:11 As I have
done to Samaria and her idols, Shall I not do also
to Jerusalem
and her idols?' "
Isa 10:12 Therefore
it shall come to pass, when the Lord has performed
all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, that He will
say, "I will punish the fruit of the
arrogant heart of the king of Assyria,
and the glory of his haughty looks."
Isa 10:13 For he
says: "By the strength of my hand I have done it, And
by my wisdom, for I am prudent; Also I have removed
the boundaries of the people, And have robbed their
treasuries; So I have put down the inhabitants like
a valiant man.
Isa 10:14 My hand
has found like a nest the riches of the people, And
as one gathers eggs that are
left, I have gathered all the earth; And there was
no one who moved his
wing, Nor opened his
mouth with even a peep."
Amo 4:11 "I
overthrew some
of you, As God overthrew Sodom
and Gomorrah,
And you were like a firebrand plucked from the
burning; Yet you have not returned to Me," Says the
LORD.
Amo 4:12 "Therefore
thus will I do to you, O Israel; Because I
will do this to you, Prepare to meet your God, O Israel!"

behold, He who forms mountains, And creates the
wind, Who declares to man what his thought is, And
makes the morning darkness, Who treads the high
places of the earth The LORD God of hosts is His
name.
Eze 24:21 'Speak to
the house of Israel, "Thus says the Lord GOD:
'Behold, I will profane My sanctuary, your arrogant
boast, the desire of your eyes, the delight of your
soul; and your sons and daughters whom you left
behind shall fall by the sword.
Deu 28:53 You shall
eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your
sons and your daughters whom the LORD your God has
given you, in the siege and desperate straits in
which your enemy shall distress you.
Deu 28:54 The
sensitive and very refined man among you will be
hostile toward his brother, toward the wife of his
bosom, and toward the rest of his children whom he
leaves behind,
Deu 28:55 so that he
will not give any of them the flesh of his children
whom he will eat, because he has nothing left in the
siege and desperate straits in which your enemy
shall distress you at all your gates.
Deu 28:56 The tender
and delicate woman among you, who would not venture
to set the sole of her foot on the ground because of
her delicateness and sensitivity, will refuse to the
husband of her bosom, and to her son and her
daughter,
Deu 28:57 her
placenta which comes out from between her feet and
her children whom she bears; for she will eat them
secretly for lack of everything in the siege and
desperate straits in which your enemy shall distress
you at all your gates.
Lev 26:29 You shall
eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the
flesh of your daughters.
Lev 26:30 I will
destroy your high places, cut down your incense
altars, and cast your carcasses on the lifeless
forms of your idols; and My soul shall abhor you.
Lev 26:31 I will lay
your cities waste and bring your sanctuaries to
desolation, and I will not smell the fragrance of
your sweet aromas.
Lev 26:32 I will
bring the land to desolation, and your enemies who
dwell in it shall be astonished at it.
Lev 26:33 I will
scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword
after you; your land shall be desolate and your
cities waste.
Lev 26:34 Then the
land shall enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies
desolate and you are in your enemies' land; then the
land shall rest and enjoy its sabbaths.
Lev 26:35 As long as
it
lies desolate it shall rest for the time it did not
rest on your sabbaths when you dwelt in it.
Lev 26:36 'And as
for those of you who are left, I will send faintness
into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; the
sound of a shaken leaf shall cause them to flee;
they shall flee as though fleeing from a sword, and
they shall fall when no one pursues.
Lev 26:37 They shall
stumble over one another, as it were before a sword,
when no one pursues; and you shall have no power to
stand before your enemies.
Lev 26:38 You shall
perish among the nations, and the land of your
enemies shall eat you up.
Lev 26:39 And those
of you who are left shall waste away in their
iniquity in your enemies' lands; also in their
fathers' iniquities, which are with them, they shall
waste away.
Lev 26:40 'But if
they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of
their fathers, with their unfaithfulness in which
they were unfaithful to Me, and that they also have
walked contrary to Me,
Lev 26:41 and that I
also have walked contrary to them and have brought
them into the land of their enemies; if their
uncircumcised hearts are humbled, and they accept
their guilt
Lev 26:42 then I
will remember My covenant with Jacob, and My
covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham I
will remember; I will remember the land.
Lev 26:43 The land
also shall be left empty by them, and will enjoy its
sabbaths while it lies desolate without them; they
will accept their guilt, because they despised My
judgments and because their soul abhorred My
statutes.
Lev 26:44 Yet for
all that, when they are in the land of their
enemies, I will not cast them away, nor shall I
abhor them, to utterly destroy them and break My
covenant with them; for I am the
LORD their God.
Lev 26:45 But for
their sake I will remember the covenant of their
ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt
in the sight of the nations, that I might be their
God: I am
the LORD.' "
Lev 26:46 These are the
statutes and judgments and laws which the LORD made
between Himself and the children of Israel on Mount Sinai by the hand of
Moses.
A list of the
5th wave
God sends Assyria
to invade Israel.
Fire.
Profane thy Sanctuary.
Cannibalism.
Run when no one pursues.
Pine away in your sins.
These waves of
events take us from the start of Jacob’s trouble, to
the time of captivity.
The above 5 waves are also described as God’s
judgments on Israel
and Judah.
Eze 14:21 For thus
says the Lord GOD: "How much more it shall be when I
send My four severe judgments on Jerusalem the sword
and famine and wild beasts and pestilence to cut off
man and beast from it?
Eze 5:12 One-third
of you shall die of the pestilence, and be consumed
with famine in your midst; and one-third shall fall
by the sword all around you; and I will scatter
another third to all the winds, and I will draw out
a sword after them.
God’s four
judgments cause 2/3rds of Israel, and Judah
to perish. Rev 6 v 8 shows that the Jacob’s
trouble effects ¼ of the world’s population. The
present world population is approximately 5.65 billion
people. ¼ of this population is 1.42 billion
people these are the ones that the fourth seal
affects, now this will include gentiles who are
intermingled with Israel, there are currently about
440,000,000 people in English speaking countries of
Israel, Australia, New Zealand, America, Great
Britain, Canada, at present. The amount of people who
will die in Jacob’s trouble, before they go into
captivity, is about 294,000,000 people. This
represents 2/3rds of English speaking Israel and Judah.
I will repeat
that figure, about 294,000.000 people will die in
Jacob’s trouble. About 146,000,000 will go into
captivity, but only 1/10 will come out of captivity
that means about 14,600,000 will come out of this
terrible time alive.
The following
scriptures show that only 1/10th of Israel and Judah
will come out of captivity alive.
Isa 6:11 Then I
said, "Lord, how long?" And He answered: "Until the
cities are laid waste and without inhabitant, The
houses are without a man, The land is utterly
desolate,
Isa 6:12 The LORD
has removed men far away, And the forsaken places are many
in the midst of the land.
Isa 6:13 But yet a
tenth will
be in it, And will return and be for
consuming, As a terebinth tree or as an oak, Whose
stump remains
when it is cut down. So the holy seed shall be
its stump."
Isa 10:20 And it
shall come to pass in that day That the
remnant of Israel, And such as have escaped of the
house of Jacob, Will never again depend on him who
defeated them, But will depend on the LORD, the Holy
One of Israel, in truth.
Isa 10:21 The
remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, To the
Mighty God.
Isa 10:22 For though
your people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, A
remnant of them will return; The destruction decreed
shall overflow with righteousness.
When in captivity
Israel
and Judah
suffer extreme loss of life. As shown above
approximately 131,400,000 people die whilst in
captivity.
This dreadful death toll happens for a reason. Israel and Judah
have turned away from their God and practiced all
kinds of abominations, forgotten God’s laws,
ordinances, statutes and judgments. They are a
rebellious and stiffnecked people.
While in
captivity, Elijah goes to them and turns their hearts
to God, and God’s heart to them, notice the following
scriptures.
Mal 4:5 Behold, I
will send you Elijah the prophet Before the coming
of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.
Mal 4:6 And he
will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children,
And the hearts of the children to their fathers,
Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.
It is very
interesting to note that when Israel go into
captivity they are taken firstly to Egypt.
They are taken there by ships and then sold to their
enemies.
Deu 28:68 "And the
LORD will take you back to Egypt in ships, by the
way of which I said to you, 'You shall never see it
again.' And there you shall be offered for sale to
your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one
will buy you."
As the following
scriptures shows, Israel
will have a changed mind when they come out of
captivity and notice how God feels towards them.
Jer 31:9 They shall
come with weeping, And with supplications I will
lead them. I will cause them to walk by the rivers
of waters, In a straight way in which they shall not
stumble; For I am a Father to Israel,
And Ephraim is My
firstborn.
Even though the
loss of life and devastation to Israel is horrendous,
the following scripture shows that it had to happen to
ensure Israel
had a changed heart because of it. They would
not obey God or follow His laws or believe Him, prior
to Jacob’s Trouble, but now they will be comforted
when they see the change in Israel, they will
understand it had to happen for Israel’s
sake.
Eze 14:22 Yet
behold, there shall be left in it a remnant who will
be brought out, both
sons and daughters; surely they will come out to
you, and you will see their ways and their doings.
Then you will be comforted concerning the disaster
that I have brought upon Jerusalem, all
that I have brought upon it.
Eze 14:23 And they
will comfort you, when you see their ways and their
doings; and you shall know that I have done nothing
without cause that I have done in it," says the Lord
GOD.
Once Israel
have been released from captivity, they have their
children restored to them. The people who
took them captive, will become the slaves of the
Israelites. They fight a number of battles on their
way back to Israel. They are led
back by the Father and King David, and the
firstfruits, they are then given the plans for the
temple to build that for God.
Notice the
following scripture.
Eze 43:10 "Son of
man, describe the temple to the house of Israel,
that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and
let them measure the pattern.
Eze 43:11 And if
they are ashamed of all that they have done, make
known to them the design of the temple and its
arrangement, its exits and its entrances, its entire
design and all its ordinances, all its forms and all
its laws. Write it down in their sight, so that
they may keep its whole design and all its
ordinances, and perform them.
Eze 43:12 This is the
law of the temple: The whole area surrounding the
mountaintop is most
holy. Behold, this is the
law of the temple.
