https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 3 * PART 3 * BOOK 64 BUT GOD! - (Kingdom of God) - Part 3 MATTHEW 6:33 We’re going to go right back into our study concerning the Kingdom, because of some questions that just came up at break-time. By the time the Kingdom is set up, we will be long gone! Matthew 24 starting at verse 15 and if you’ve got a red-letter edition, it’s red. Jesus is speaking during His earthly ministry. All right, verse 15 and remember whom He’s talking to. Matthew 24:15a Daniel chapter 9 and here is that 490-year prophecy on the nation of Israel, broken down by weeks of years. By the time we get down to verse 26, we’ve got 483 of the 490 years fulfilled. And remember that the 490-year prophecy began with the instructions to Nehemiah to go and rebuild the city wall. Not the Temple. All right, that was the trigger date for this prophecy. Daniel 9:24 Which, of course, is the Messiah, Christ, or God the Son. Now verse 25. Daniel is going to break this prophecy down. Daniel 9:25a Now again, we’ve got to understand that Nebuchadnezzar’s armies destroyed Solomon’s Temple. Ezra comes back with a small number of Jews, 44,000, and they begin to rebuild the temple. Daniel 9:26a All right, so let’s continue on with Daniel’s prophecy. Daniel 9:26b Now, that’s the reference to the anti-Christ. The small letter ‘p’ is the anti-Christ. Daniel 9:26c "…and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;…" Daniel 9:26d Daniel 9:27a If you’re going to bring peace to the Middle East, you have to involve all the nations in the Middle East. It’s going to take this man, under God’s Sovereign direction, to bring about a Middle Eastern peace. It’s going to be such a peace that Israel will have permission to rebuild a temple. Daniel 9:27b Then reading on in verse 27. Daniel 9:27c All right, now let’s go back to Matthew 24 because this is what Jesus was referring to. Jesus speaks of what Daniel the prophet said, and when you see that happen -- now verse 16. Matthew 24:16-17 If you’ve been to Israel lately, like we have, there are some beautiful, beautiful condominiums and apartment places that could certainly fill the bill. Time is of the essence. Now, at the time of Christ, 90% of Jewish people were farmers and herders and so forth. Matthew 24:18-19 (You won’t have time. Get out of Jerusalem.) You’ve got the older, wealthier people. You’ve got the working class. All right, then verse 20, Jesus continues on. Matthew 24:20 Matthew 24:21 All right, now this escaping remnant of Jews, whom God is going to protect out in the mountains or wherever He takes them, according to Revelation chapter 12. Revelation 12, we pick up this escaping remnant, now, as John reveals it. Revelation chapter 12 and we’ll jump in at verse 5 for sake of time. Always remember that "the woman" in Revelation 12 is the symbolic picture of Israel. The woman is Israel. Revelation 12:5a "And she (the woman) brought forth a man-child, (That’s a reference to Christ being born in Bethlehem.) Revelation 12:5b "…and her child (the woman’s child, Jesus of Nazareth) was caught up unto God, (That’s a reference to His ascension.) Now verse 6. Revelation 12:6a "And the woman (Not the whole Nation, just the remnant remember. One third of Israel will be the remnant.) fled into the wilderness, (And in that wilderness environment--) where she hath a place prepared of God,…" Revelation 12:6b God will feed them. God will protect them. Now, verse 14. Revelation 12:14 Here, Israel is just fresh out of Egypt. Exodus 19:3 "And Moses went up unto God, (in the mountain) and the LORD (Now, that’s the other term for God the Son in the Old Testament. We’re dealing again with Jesus the Christ.) Exodus 19:4 All right, flip back to Revelation again. Verse 14 again: Revelation 12:14a Now verse 15, the anti-Christ is going to send a military force after them, to destroy them, because Satan has now in-dwelt the man anti-Christ, and Satan hates anything pertaining to Israel. Revelation 12:15a Just like Pharaoh did after Israel in Exodus, the anti-Christ is going to send a force after these Jews here in Revelation. Revelation 12:15b Revelation 12:16a "And the earth (instead of the water) helped the woman, (this escaping remnant of Jews) and the earth opened her mouth,…" All right, now you’ve got a repetition of that. Revelation 12:16b Revelation 12:17a "And the dragon (The anti-Christ, in-dwelt by Satan up there at Jerusalem.) Now, we’ve got two remnants in Revelation, you remember. The escaping remnant of men, women, and children, and the other remnant is the 144,000 Jewish evangelist who have, what does it say? Revelation 12:17b "…which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." They are adherents to Judaism and temple worship. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
