How is it that a tiny little piece of land in the Middle East could become a geopolitical focus of the whole world? Does the Bible offer any clues? It does, and with repeated mathematical precision. Muslims deny this Truth because the LIE in their Quran deceives them! That the Jews were rejected by God to be replaced by them Arabs(Most Muslims are NON ARABIC in origin, and EVEN if Ishmael was considered the BIBLE would not agree. God made ISHMAEL who was (HALF EGYPTIAN), because of Hagar, the father of the Arabs, Genesis 17:15-22 15 God also said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah. 16 I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her.” 17 Abraham fell facedown; he laughed and said to himself, “Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old? Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?” 18 And Abraham said to God, “If only Ishmael might live under your blessing!” 19 Then God said, “Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him. 20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. 21 But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you by this time next year.” 22 When he had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him. THE PROMISE of ABRAHAM has to come through the DESCENDANTS of ISSAC, AND JACOB who was later renamed ISRAEL. JESUS IS A DESCENDANT OF ISSAC not ISHMAEL. ABRAHAM DID ENTREAT GOD to consider ISHMAEL but YAHWEH rejected that proposal and confirmed that the PROMISE of GOD’s SALVATION would come through ISSAC! ISRAELITES FOREVER REJECTED ANOTHER ISLAMIC APOSTASY Read below:: Ezekiel 36:19 And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them. 20 And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These [are] the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land. 21 But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went. 22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not [this] for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy names sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. 23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I [am] the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. 24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. 25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. 26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do [them]. 28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. A fulfillment of prophecy so stunning that even the heathen shall know that I [am] the LORD. Daniel prophesied the restoration of Jews to their land in 1948 and to their city of Jerusalem in 1967, and he pegged those dates right to the year, through two parallel math problems that span 2500 years. From two different dreams the prophet Daniel wrote about the dispersion of the Jews and control of the Holy Land by a succession of Gentile kingdoms. At the beginning of one of these prophecies we are given a specific time pin: (KJV) Daniel 10:1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing [was] true, but the time appointed [was] long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision. Pick up a conservative bible handbook, or you can Yahoo confirmation of acceptable dating for the first year of Cyrus in Babylon at around 536 BC, making the third year of Cyrus 533 BC. Toward the end of this prophecy we read: Daniel 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which [was] upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that [it shall be] for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these [things] shall be finished. Some Jewish scholars, both Messianic/Christian and non, translation of the Hebrew idiom time, times and an half is somewhat different than most Christians may have been taught. Below is the above verse from a version of the Tanach: (Tanach) Daniel 12:7 And I heard the man clad in linen, who was above the waters of the river, and he raised his right hand and his left hand to the heavens, and he swore by the Life of the world, that in the time of [two] times and a half, and when they have ended shattering the strength of the holy people, all these will end. Lets consider for a moment, that Jewish scholars might actually understand antiquated Hebrew idioms a little better than Christian scholars do, and that the time, times and an half problems are actually a factor of 2-1/2 and not 3-1/2. While Daniels prophecies use this times idiom, the Old Testament never defines it. However, most Christians are familiar with the following verse from the New Testament: 2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Greek word that is translated as day in the above verse is hemera. This is an ambiguous word whose definition is determined by its context. In 3 other passages in the KJV it is translated as time (in 12 verses in the NASB). From Strongs: New Testament Greek Definition: 2250 hemera {hay-mer-ah} from (with 5610 implied) of a derivative of hemai (to sit, akin to the base of 1476) meaning tame, i.e. gentle; TDNT - 2:943,309; n f AV - day 355, daily + 2596 15, time 3, not tr 2, misc 14; 389 So, WHAT IF the Lord had meant for a time to be as a thousand years? Lets put it together: 2-1/2 times = 2,500 years 2,500 - 533 BC = 1967 AD The times of the Gentiles were fulfilled in 1967 when the Jews regained control of Jerusalem. The end of the scattered strength of the holy people. In the KJV verses above we read: ...when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people... In the Tanach above we read: ...when they have ended shattering of the strength of the holy people... The Jews were the only holy people in Daniels day. SECOND TIMES PROBLEM Daniel includes this term in another prophecy. In Chapter 7 we find the successive lion, bear leopard and a 4th dreadful beast as a succession of kingdoms that would rule the holy land in Daniels future. The prophecy begins with another specific time pin: Daniel 7:1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, [and] told the sum of the matters. Go back to the bible handbook, or you can Yahoo confirmation for the first year of Belshazzar to be 552 BC Then in verse 25 we find: Daniel 7:25 And he shall speak [great] words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. Using the factor of 2-1/2 again we find: 2,500 - 552 BC = 1948 AD The Jewish people raised their flag and declared an independent nation of Israel in 1948, coming in from the wilderness of the nations (people Ezekiel 20:35). The end of the Jews being oppressed at their enemys hand, and the end of the Gentile control of the holy land. Two parallel problems written over 500 BC, that confirm each other in parallel over a period of 2500 years, pinning the restoration of the Jews to their land in 1948 and to their city in 1967. To even an honest atheist, PROOF OF GOD. Is the Lord is pulling out all the stops as He brings in the last of His harvest?
