  5. The Work of Elijah Mal. 4:5-6 – “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” Heb. paneh – the face (before) – see useMal. 3:1; Amos 1:1 Cited Luke 1:17which Bro. Thomas translates –“…to restore to the posterity the father’s dispositions and disobedient ones to just person’s mode of thinking.” The citation inLuke 1is important – Malachi’s message was to “all Israel”(v.4) – John the Baptist was “Elijah” to Judah (Matt. 11:14; 17:10-13) – all that remains is for Elijah to appear to scattered Israel. Events Subsequent to the Return of Christ

  6. Matt. 24:29-30 The March of the Rainbowed Angel Ecclesiastical powers – Gen. 1:16; Acts 2:20 Political powers –Isa. 24:21-23; Joel 2:10, 31 29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. “Suddenly” V.29bridges the period between AD 70 which saw the eclipse of Judah’s Commonwealth and our times when political powers are being shaken prior to Armageddon –Luke 21:25-27 Political rulers –Dan. 12:3; Isa. 14:13 Armageddon – Rev. 1:7 Events Subsequent to the Return of Christ The glorified saints – Heb. 12:1 7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.

  8. The Kingdom is Near! Matt. 24:33-35 33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. i.e. summer = Armageddon Events Subsequent to the Return of Christ Rulers/governments and ruled/peoples of the present to pass away.

  9. Israel and Judah in the Prophetic Scriptures ‘Israel’, ‘Ephraim’ and ‘the remnant of Jacob’ – Refers to scattered Jewry worldwide – Zech. 9:13; Ezek. 20:27, 30, 39; Mic. 5:7-8 ‘Judah’– Refers to the Jews in the Land at Christ’s return – Zech. 12:7 Events Subsequent to the Return of Christ

  10. Yahweh’s Weapons of War Zech. 9:13 Judah The motivation “In those days the house of Judah shall walk with (Roth. “go unto”) the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.”Jer. 3:18 ISRAEL The Weapon Judah Events Subsequent to the Return of Christ

  11. The Second Exodus of Israel 40 years under Elijah’s leadership “the land of the north”(Jer. 3:18) Elijah’s mission 30 years conflict Wilderness of the Peoples (Rev. 17:3) Baptism (Isa. 11:11-16) Rebels purged out Bonds of the Covenant Events Subsequent to the Return of Christ Roth. –“and will contend (shaphat – to judge) with you there face to face” – Ezek. 20:35

  12. Elijah’s Message to Israel Jer. 3:12-15 is to “backsliding Israel” (i.e. scattered Israel) – not Judah (Jews in the Land at Armageddon). Some of the latter become ambassadors to their scattered brethren – V.18 Yahweh’s appeal to scattered Israel through Elijah is based on their past treachery as His wife – Vv.19-22 (part). Israel’s future humble response comes in Vv.22-25 The terms of Israel’s restitution is spelt out in Jer. 4:1-2. Events Subsequent to the Return of Christ

  13. Terms of Israel’s RestitutionJeremiah 4:1-2 Must recognise Yahweh by acknowledging His existence. Must abandon all abominations and confess their sin. Must swear that Yahweh lives and is the epitome of truth, judgement and righteousness, and was just in punishing them. Must become an example for all nations. Events Subsequent to the Return of Christ

  14. Subjugation of the Nations40 Years ARMAGEDDON– Gogian host destroyed - Western nations humbled Proclamation to the nations to submit Britain and other nations submit to Christ Catholic nations unite behind Pope Lull before the final storm of 30 years Rome destroyed in fiery overthrow A final plea for the nations to submit Nations of Europe subject to intense wars Papal power finally utterly destroyed All nations subdued under Christ’s rule Events Subsequent to the Return of Christ

  16. The Secret Code of Rev. 14 144,000 (v.1) is based on Rev. 7:4-9 – 12 tribes of Israel each with 12,000 sealed. To Jews a thousand represented a ‘family’ (see Roth. Jud. 6:15) and 12 is the number of Israel – hence using the square root principle 144,000 represents the perfected family of Israel (an innumerable multitude of Jew and Gentile (Rev. 7:9). 1,600 furlongs in v.20 is not a lineal measurement but the length or period of the bloodshed involved in treading the winepress. Using the square root principle of v.1 - 1,600 is 40 x 40 – hence, represents a period of 40 years. Events Subsequent to the Return of Christ

  17. The Mid-Heaven Prophecy Heaven = government. Therefore, represents a message to both rulers and ruled. Proclamation to the nations that all will hear. Rev. 14:6-7 6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. Gr. evangelion aionian – good news pertaining to the age.“Millennial good news” – Bro. Thomas R.V. – “proclaim” Events Subsequent to the Return of Christ

  18. “One Hour” in the Apocalypse “Being, then, the twelfth of a cycle, it is also the Hour of that cycle. The small cycle of light, called a day, which is the root of all the greater cycles, was divided by the Jews into twelve equal parts; and the night into other twelve….. This is the only place in the apocalypse (Rev. 9:15) where hour stands for thirty days. It occurs in seven other places after this; but in all these it stands alone, and represents a judicial period of thirty years, or the twelfth of a time.” Bro. Thomas, Eureka Vol. 2 pg. 361 Events Subsequent to the Return of Christ

  19. “ONE HOUR”Rev. 14:7; 17:12; 18:10,17,19 One hour is a twelfth part of a Jewish day 1/12th part of a year = One month = 30 days Therefore “One Hour” = 30 years One Day = One Year Gen. 47:9; Num. 14:34; Ezek. 4:4-6; Hos. 6:2; Luke 13:32 Events Subsequent to the Return of Christ Historical proof –Rev. 8:1; 11:13
