The Prophets

Are the Prophets relevant today?

It has been said by people, like Rick Warren, that it is a waste of time to study the prophecies in the Book of Truth (The Bible).   They describe studying these prophecies as a meaningless distraction that keeps people from fulfilling the Great Commission.  They say, that it is particularly pointless for the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) to study the prophecies in the Original Covenant (Tanakh aka The Old Testament), since those prophecies were only meant to identify the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ).

Is this what the Book of Truth says about The Prophets?

In order to answer this, we must first examine what is meant by The Prophets.

The Man of Truth confirmed the division of the Original Covenant by the Jews into three sections: The Law, The Prophets and The Psalms (Luke 24:44).  The first section is called The Law, is also known as The Torah, because the Hebrew word for The Law is "Torah". The next section is called The Prophets.  The Hebrew word for The Prophets is "Nevi'im".  The Psalms are the first book of The Writings, which consists of the two subsections: The Writings of History and The Writings of Wisdom.  For this reason, The Writings are sometimes referred to as The Psalms.  The Hebrew word for The Writings is "K'tuvim".  So the Original Covenant is called the TaNaKh which stands for Torah, Nevi'im, K'tuvim.

All of the Original Covenant was written by various Prophets of Truth, just as all of the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) was written by various Apostles of Truth (Ephesians 2:20).  All of the sections of the Original Covenant contains prophecy, just like all of the sections contain history and wisdom.  However, the section that contains the greatest concentration of prophecy is called The Prophets.  This is because the each book in The Prophets was written by a particular Prophet of Truth.  Almost all of the books in The Prophets are named after The Prophet of Truth who wrote them.  The Prophets are like the branches that crown a tree of wondrous strength.

In order to understand the relevancy of The Prophets, we have to begin with understanding that the Prophets of Truth wrote eight kinds of prophecies in their books.

The first kind of prophecy was a short term prophecy, that focused on events would be fulfilled in the lifetime of the Prophet of Truth.  This is important, because a man could only be confirmed as a Prophet of Truth, if he prophesied in the name of the Father of Truth, and his prophecy came to pass (Deuteronomy 18:20-22).

For example, Jeremiah prophesied that Jerusalem would be completely destroyed (Jeremiah 9:11). Then he, and perhaps others, lamented over Jerusalem, after it was completely destroyed (Lamentations 1:1-7).

The second kind of prophecy was a longer term prophecy, that focused on events that would be fulfilled shortly after the death of the Prophet of Truth.  This is important, because it established, that the Prophet of Truth was sent by the Father of Truth, to give a message for future generations.

For example,  the people of the two tribe kingdom of Judah returned to the Promised Land, after spending seventy years in Babylon (2 Chronicles 36:20-23).  Yet, Jeremiah (Yirmiyahu) had prophesied this event, even though it occurred many years after he died (Jeremiah 29:10). 

The third kind of prophecy was an even longer term prophecy, that focused on events concerning the suffering of the Messiah of Israel, long after the last book of The Prophets was written.  This is important, because it clearly identifies the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel.

For example, there are prophecies covering everything about the suffering of the Messiah of Israel, from his birth to his resurrection, as shown below.

Isaiah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would be equal to the Father of Truth, and everlasting, even though he would be born as a man (Isaiah 9:6).  

Isaiah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would be born of a virgin, and named "Immanuel" ("God with us"), after the ten tribe kingdom of Israel and the kingdom of Syria went into captivity (Isaiah 7:14-16).  Micah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2).

Hosea wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would be called out of Egypt, as a young child, just as Israel was called out of Egypt (Hosea 11:1).

Jeremiah wrote, that the weeping of women deprived of their children during the time of the Messiah of Israel, would be heard as far north of Jerusalem as Rama (Jeremiah 31:15).

Isaiah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would be called The Branch (Isaiah 11:1-2). [Hebrew word translated as "Branch" is "Neitzar" and the plural form is "Neitzarot".]

Isaiah wrote, that the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) would be upon the Messiah of Israel to carry out his work (Isaiah 61:1-2).

Isaiah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would first show people, how to live a life pleasing to the Father of Truth, in the area of Galilee (Isaiah 9:1-2).  Isaiah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would cause the deaf to hear, the blind to see, and bring joy to the poor (Isaiah 29:18-19).  Isaiah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would also cause the lame to walk, and the mute to speak (Isaiah 35:5-6).  Isaiah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would be the good shepherd (Isaiah 40:10-11).

Isaiah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would not strive to draw attention to himself, while bringing healing to those who were broken (Isaiah 42:1-3).  Malachi wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would be in the Temple, as the messenger of the covenant, that the Father of Truth would make (Malachi 3:1).

Zechariah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would enter Jerusalem riding a donkey, instead of a horse, like other kings (Zechariah 9:9).  Zechariah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would be sold for thirty pieces of silver (Zechariah 11:12).  Zechariah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would be forsaken by his disciples, when he began to be afflicted by the Father of Truth (Zechariah 13:7).

Jeremiah wrote, that he was instructed to buy a field, and bought it for silver weighing seventeen shekels (Jeremiah 32:6-10).  Jeremiah wrote, that buying this field showed, that the Jewish people would be destroyed, for rejecting the Prophets of Truth, sent by the Father of Truth (Jeremiah 32:23-25).  Zechariah wrote, that the thirty pieces of silver, that were given to buy the life of the Messiah of Israel, would be given to a potter, to show that the Jewish people would again be destroyed, for rejecting THE PROPHET OF TRUTH, sent by the Father of Truth (Zechariah 11:13-14).  [This shows that people in the time of Zechariah, understood that Jeremiah had given thirty pieces of silver for the field of a potter, to show that the Father of Truth was not highly valued, and that the First Temple would be destroyed.  The thirty pieces of silver counted out by Zechariah, give the number of pieces that Jeremiah weighed out, as seventeen shekels.  The potter identifies the occupation of the man, that Jeremiah bought the field from.  So Jeremiah was instructed to give thirty pieces of silver to buy the field of the potter.  The Father of Truth was not highly valued in the time of Jeremiah, and this led to the First Temple being destroyed.  Zechariah was reminding them of this, when he cast the thirty pieces of silver to the potter in the Second Temple, to show that the Messiah of Israel would not be highly valued, and this would lead to the Second Temple being destroyed.]

Isaiah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would not open his mouth, to try to escape punishment (Isaiah 53:7).

Isaiah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would suffer terrible brutality for our sins (Isaiah 53:3-6).  Micah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel, the righteous judge of Israel, would be unjustly struck upon the cheek with a rod (Micah 5:1).  Zechariah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would be wounded in his hands (Zechariah 13:6).

Isaiah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would die among the wicked (Isaiah 53:8-9).  Isaiah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would numbered among the transgressors, when he died (Isaiah 53:12).  Daniel wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would die for the sins of others, shortly before the Second Temple, that would be rebuilt after the Babylonian exile, would be destroyed (Daniel 9:25-26).

Isaiah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would be buried among the rich, because he was innocent of any wrong doing (Isaiah 53:9).

Jonah foreshadowed the Messiah of Israel being in the grave, for three days and three nights, by being in the belly of a whale, for three days and three nights (Jonah 1:17).

Isaiah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would be raised from the dead, because he died for the sins of other people (Isaiah 53:10-12).  Jonah foreshadowed the Messiah of Israel coming out of the grave on the third day, by coming out of the belly of the whale, on the third day (Jonah 2:10).

Isaiah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would cause Good News to come out of Jerusalem, and into Judah (Isaiah 40:9). Haggai wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would cause Heaven and Earth to be shaken, when he brought in the Renewed Covenant, instead shaking only the Earth, like when the Original Covenant was given (Haggai 2:5-6).

Jeremiah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would cause people to know the Father of Truth, by bringing in the Renewed Covenant, whereby the Spirit of Truth would write the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law), on their hearts, instead of on tablets of stone (Jeremiah 31:31-34). 

This is exactly what the Man of Truth did, when he was on this Earth the first time, as shown below.

The Man of Truth is equal to the Father of Truth, and everlasting, even though he was born as a man (John 1:1-14).

The Man of Truth was born of a virgin, and called Emmanuel ("God with us"), long after, the ten tribe kingdom of Israel and the kingdom of Syria went into captivity (Matthew 1:17-25).  The Man of Truth was born in Bethlehem (Matthew 2:1-6).

The Man of Truth was later called out of Egypt, as a young child, just as Israel was called out of Egypt (Matthew 2:13-15).

The weeping of women deprived of their children during the time of the Man of Truth, was heard as far north of Jerusalem as Rama (Matthew 2:16-18).

The Man of Truth was called The Branch (Matthew 2:19-23).  [Hebrew word for "branches" is "Neitzarot". The Greek transliteration of "Neitzarot" is "Nazaret", which in English is "Nazareth".  A Nazarene is one of the inhabitants of Nazareth, which would make them one of the branches, or a branch.  When used to identify someone as belonging to Nazareth, instead of using their name, they would be called "the Nazarene", which literally means, "The Branch."]

The Spirit of Truth was upon the Messiah of Israel to carry out his work (Luke 4:16-21).

The Man of Truth first showed people, how to live a life pleasing to the Father of Truth, in the area of Galilee (Matthew 4:12-17).  The Man of Truth caused the deaf to hear, the blind to see, and brought joy to the poor (Matthew 11:2-5).  The Man of Truth also caused the lame to walk, and the mute to speak (Matthew 15:29-31).  The Man of Truth is the good shepherd (John 10:11-15).

The Man of Truth did not strive to draw attention to himself, while bringing healing to those who were broken (Matthew 12:15-20).  The Man of Truth was in the Temple, as the messenger of the covenant, that the Father of Truth would make (Matthew 26:55).

The Man of Truth entered Jerusalem riding a donkey, instead of a horse, like other kings (Matthew 21:1-11).  The Man of Truth was sold for thirty pieces of silver (Matthew 26:14-16).  The Man of Truth was forsaken by his disciples, when he began to be afflicted by the Father of Truth (Matthew 26:31-56).

The thirty pieces of silver, that were given to buy the life of the Man of Truth, were be given to a potter, to buy his field (Matthew 27:3-10).  [Apparently Jeremiah said this, even though it is not recorded in his writings.  His writings record, that he was instructed to buy a field, and he weighed out the silver, which could have been thirty coins of various sizes, like shekels and half shekels.  The man he bought the field from could have been a potter.  The point of the transaction was, that the One who sought to bring them redemption, would be sold for material things.  So it would be true to say, that Jeremiah was instructed to buy the field of a potter, with thirty pieces of silver, to show that people had sold the one, who brought them redemption, for material things.]

The Man of Truth did not open his mouth, to try to escape punishment (Matthew 27:11-14).

The Man of Truth suffered terrible brutality for our sins (Matthew 27:26).  The Man of Truth, the righteous judge of Israel, was unjustly struck upon the cheek with a rod (Matthew 27:27-30). [The cheek is part of the head, and the reed represented a scepter, which is a rod that shows authority to rule.]  The Man of Truth was wounded in his hands (Matthew 27:35).

The Man of Truth died among the wicked (Matthew 27:38-44). The Man of Truth was numbered among the transgressors, when he died (Mark 15:25-28).  The Man of Truth died for the sins of others, shortly before the Temple, that was rebuilt after the Babylonian exile, was destroyed (Mark 15:37-39).

The Man of Truth was buried among the rich, because he was innocent of any wrong doing (Matthew 27:57-60).

The Man of Truth was in the grave, for three days and three nights, like Jonah was in the belly of the whale, for three days and three nights (Matthew 12:39-40).

The Man of Truth was raised from the dead, because he died for the sins of other people (Matthew 28:1-6).  The Man of Truth came out of the grave on the third day, like Jonah come out of the belly of the whale, on the third day (Luke 24:44-46).

The Man of Truth caused Good News to come out of Jerusalem, and into Judah (Acts 1:4-8). ["Judaea" is what the Romans called "Judah".]  The Man of Truth caused Heaven and Earth to be shaken, when he brought in the Renewed Covenant, instead shaking only the Earth, like when the Original Covenant was given (Hebrews 12:24-26).

The Man of Truth caused people to know the Father of Truth, by bringing in the Renewed Covenant, whereby the Spirit of Truth would write the Law of Truth, on their hearts, instead of on tablets of stone (Hebrews 8:6-12).

The fourth kind of prophecy was an even longer term prophecy, that focused on events that occurred after the resurrection of the Man of Truth.  This kind of prophecy is important, because it tells about the current age that we live in, and shows that it has always been about the Gentiles.  It also tells us, that the sound of power is meant for this current age.

For example, there are prophecies covering the entire age between when the Messiah of Israel came to suffer, and when the Messiah of Israel will come to reign, as shown below.

Isaiah wrote, that most of the Jewish people would be unwilling to accept the Messiah of Israel as the Messiah of Israel, so they could be saved (Isaiah 6:9-10).  Isaiah wrote, that most of the Jewish people would not believe the Good News (Isaiah 53:1).  Isaiah wrote, that the Father of Truth would be found by the Gentiles, because the Jewish people would not accept His plan of salvation (Isaiah 65:1-2).

Isaiah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would bring forth the judgements of the Father of Truth, to the Gentiles (Isaiah 42:1).  Isaiah wrote, that the Messiah of Israel would be a light unto the Gentiles (Isaiah 42:6-8).

Isaiah wrote, that though the Messiah of Israel would be rejected as the righteous judge of Israel, when he came to suffer, that he would save the Gentiles as well, because his suffering was too great, to save only the Jews (Isaiah 49:4-6).

Malachi wrote, that since most of the Jews would not do what was pleasing to the Father of Truth, then the Messiah of Israel would cause some of the Gentiles, to do what was pleasing to the Father of Truth (Malachi 1:9-11).

Hosea wrote, that the Gentiles, who had not been called the people of the Father of Truth, would be called His Children (Hosea 1:9-10).  Hosea wrote, that the Gentiles, who had not obtained mercy, would obtain mercy (Hosea 2:23).

Amos wrote, that the Gentiles would be called by the name of the Father of Truth, after the Messiah of Israel would begin to raised up the fallen house of David (Amos 9:11-12).  Joel wrote, that everyone who called upon the name of the Messiah of Israel, would come into the House of Truth (Joel 2:32).

Habakkuk wrote, that anyone who has confidence in what the Father of Truth said, that leads them to take action, would into the House of Truth (Habakkuk 2:4).

Isaiah wrote, that the Jewish Children of Truth would be sent among the Gentiles, to bring them into the House of Truth (Isaiah 66:19).  Isaiah wrote, that the Good News of the salvation brought by the Messiah of Israel, would be taken to the ends of the Earth (Isaiah 52:7-10).

Isaiah wrote, that the Gentiles would seek out the Messiah of Israel (Isaiah 11:10).

Joel wrote, that the Children of Truth would be baptized in the Spirit of Truth, after the days of the Messiah of Israel (Joel 2:28-29).

Isaiah wrote, that the Gentiles would speak in other tongues, as a sign to the unbelieving Jews (Isaiah 28:11).  

This is exactly what has been happening, since the Man of Truth left this Earth, as shown below.

Most of the Jewish people have been unwilling to accept the Man of Truth, as the Messiah of Israel, so they could be saved (Acts 28:23-27).  Most of the Jewish people have not believed the Good News (Romans 10:16).  The Father of Truth has been found by the Gentiles, because the Jewish people have not accepted His plan of salvation (Romans 10:20-21).

The Man of Truth came to bring forth the judgements of the Father of Truth, to the Gentiles (Matthew 12:17-18).  The Man of Truth was sent to be a light to the Gentiles (Luke 2:27-32).

Though the Man of Truth was rejected as the righteous judge of Israel, when he came to suffer, he saved the Gentiles as well, because his suffering was too great, to save only the Jews (Acts 26:22-23). 

Since most of the Jews have not done what was pleasing to the Father of Truth, then the Man of Truth has caused some of the Gentiles, to do what was pleasing to the Father of Truth (Acts 13:42-46).

The Gentile Children of Truth, who had not been called the people of the Father of Truth, are now called His Children (Romans 9:24-26).  The Gentile Children of Truth, who had not obtained mercy, have now obtained mercy (1 Peter 2:9-10).

The Gentile Children of Truth came to be called by the name of the Father of Truth, after the Man of Truth began to raised up the fallen house of David (Acts 15:15-17).  Everyone who calls upon the name of the Man of Truth, comes into the House of Truth (Romans 10:12-13).

Both Jews and Gentiles, who have confidence in what the Father of Truth said, that leads them to take action, will into the House of Truth (Romans 1:16-17).

The Jewish Children of Truth have been sent among the Gentiles, to bring them into the House of Truth (Acts 13:47-49).  The Good News of the salvation brought by the Man of Truth, has been taken to the ends of the Earth (Romans 10:14-15).

The Gentile Children of Truth have been seeking out the Man of Truth (Romans 15:12).

The Children of Truth have been baptized in the Spirit of Truth, after the days of the Man of Truth (Acts 2:16-18).

The Gentile Children of Truth speak in other tongues, as a sign to the unbelieving Jews (1 Corinthians 14:21-22).

The fifth kind of prophecy was an even longer term prophecy, that focused on events that set the stage for the terrible days, that will bring about the reign of the Man of Truth, long after the last book of The Book of Truth was written.  This is important, because it clearly tells about what is going on in the Earth right now .

For example, there are prophecies covering modern technology, the rise of the state of Israel, the current global political climate, and the ever increasing number of Jews, who are coming into the House of Truth.

Isaiah wrote, that Gentiles would rebuild the walls of Jerusalem (Isaiah 60:10).  Ezekiel wrote, that the Eastern Gate of Jerusalem, would be sealed shut, when the walls would be rebuilt, so that no one could use it, until the Messiah of Israel reigns (Ezekiel 44:1-3).

Ezekiel wrote, that the Father of Truth would provide a little sanctuary for the people of Israel, while they were scattered throughout the Earth (Ezekiel 11:16).

Amos wrote, that the people of Israel would rebuild the ancient cities of the Promised Land, and never be scattered again (Amos 9:14-15).

Ezekiel wrote, that the people of Israel would be regathered back to the Promised Land, after being scattered throughout the Earth (Ezekiel 11:17-18).

Isaiah wrote, that the people of Israel would be freed from their captivity in the north and south, while being regathered from the east and west (Isaiah 43:3-7).  Isaiah wrote, that the people of Israel would be gathered back even from China (Isaiah 49:8-12).  ["Sinim" is the Hebrew word for "China".  This is why, for example, relations between China and Russia are called, "Sino-Russo" relations.]  Jeremiah wrote, that the people of Israel would be gathered back the Promised Land, from the north country (Russia), and every other place where they had been held against their will (Jeremiah 31:8-12).  Zephaniah wrote, that the people of Israel would be brought back from deep inside of Africa, south of the land of Ethiopia (Zephaniah 3:10).

Isaiah wrote, that the Gentile Children of Truth would help to regather the people of Israel back into their land for a second time, similar to the regathering after the Babylonian dispersion, but greater, in that it would also include, those who were dispersed from the ten tribe kingdom of Israel (Isaiah 11:10-13).  Isaiah wrote, that the Gentile Children of Truth would use their wealth, to bring the people of Israel back to the Promised Land (Isaiah 60:3-5). Isaiah wrote, that the people of Israel would come back to the Promised Land, in ships made by the Spanish and related people, from far away lands (Isaiah 60:9). [Tarshish is who the Spaniards, and related people groups, came from.]

Ezekiel wrote, that the people of Israel would begin coming back to the Father of Truth to get a new heart, after they came back into the Promised Land (Ezekiel 11:19-21).

Isaiah wrote, that the Promised Land would be covered in thorns for many years, until the Spirit of Truth began to be poured out on the people of Israel, and then it would return to being a land of fields and forests (Isaiah 32:10-15).  Isaiah wrote, that when the people of Israel returned to the Promised Land, then the desert would bloom like a rose (Isaiah 35:1-2).  Jeremiah wrote, that when the people of Israel returned to the Promised Land, then the Promised Land would again be filled with people and animals (Jeremiah 31:23-28).  Joel wrote, that when the people of Israel returned to the Promised Land, then both the early and late rains would return, so that the land would produce an abundance of crops (Joel 2:21-24).

Zephaniah wrote, that the Hebrew language would be spoken again, so that the people of Israel would have a single common language (Zephaniah 3:9).

Isaiah wrote, that people would fly like eagles (Isaiah 40:31).  Daniel wrote, that there would be tremendous increases in the speed of knowledge, and the speed of travel, in the years leading up to the time of the end (Daniel 12:4).

Ezekiel wrote, that the people of Israel would come out of their graves, be brought into the Promised Land, and form a mighty army there (Ezekiel 37:1-14).

Isaiah wrote, that Israel would become a nation in a single day, and it would have to fight off its enemies, in order to be a nation, afterwards, like a baby being born, and then the mother experiencing labor pains (Isaiah 66:5-9).  Ezekiel wrote, that the people of Israel would occupy the Golan Heights, and form a new united nation called Israel (Ezekiel 37:15-22).

Isaiah wrote, that the people of Israel would fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines (Isaiah 11:14).  Isaiah wrote, that the people of Israel would fly back to their ancient homeland, like doves returning to the windows, that they had been sent out from (Isaiah 60:8).

Ezekiel wrote, that ancient enemies, like Russia (Meshech and Tubal) and Persia (Iran), would join together to form a coalition of European and Middle Eastern nations, in order to come against the nation of Israel, in the days leading up to the reign of the Messiah of Israel (Ezekiel 38:1-13).  Joel wrote, that the nations of the world would seek to divide the Promised Land, that the Father of Truth has given to the nation of Israel (Joel 3:1-2).  Zechariah wrote, that Jerusalem will be the reason, that all of the surrounding nations would not be able to have peace with Israel (Zechariah 12:3).

All of these events, in this small sampling of this type of prophecy, either have happened or are happening right now.  These signs of the times should make two things clear to the Children of Truth:  The Greatest Zionist is behind the rise of the nation of Israel, and they had better heed the warning of "People Get Ready!".  This becomes obvious just by examining the following facts:

The walls of Jerusalem were rebuilt by the order of Sulieman the Magnificent, the Emperor of  the Ottoman Empire, in 1538 AD.  The Eastern Gate was sealed shut, when he learned, that the Messiah of Israel was supposed to come through that gate, and it has never been opened, to this day.

The entire time that the Jewish people have been scattered among the Gentiles, the Gentile Children of Truth, like Corrie ten Boon, for example, have been used by the Father of Truth, to provide little sanctuaries for the Jews from persecution.

Jews living Jerusalem, began rebuilding the ancient cities outside of Jerusalem in 1865 AD, and this rebuilding has continued to this day, despite the intense efforts of their Middle Eastern neighbors and European powers, to push them out of the Promised Land.

The Jews began returning to the Promised Land from Russia and Yemen as early as 1870 AD, and have continued to return to this day.

Jews, who were prevented from leaving places as far north as Russian, and as far south as South Africa, for centuries, have been being allowed to immigrate to Israel since 1870 AD, while also returning freely from the east and west.  They have been regathered to the Promised Land from as far away as China, where they have left their synagogue in Kaifeng.  So many Jews were released from Russia in the 1990's, that one in four Jews in Israel today, came from Russia during this time, along with Jews who have immigrated from every country on Earth.  The latest wave of immigrants in recent years have largely been from Ethiopia, and deeper into Africa, all the way to South Africa, where the Jews there include the Lemba tribe.

The main instrument of the Father of Truth since 1870 AD in helping Jews immigrate to the Promised Land, and rebuild the ancient cities, has been the Children of Truth.  Famous Christian Zionists, like Sir Isaac Newton, who left eighty-five percent of his fortune to help Jews reform the nation of Israel in the Promised Land, more than a hundred years before the Jews began returning to the Promised Land, have given their wealth for this cause, because they understood, that it was the will of the Father of Truth, for them to do so.  They originally brought Jews back to the Promised Land in ships made by the Spanish, or their relatives in Turkey, where the Spanish had originally immigrated to Spain from, from places like Odessa, Ukraine.

In 1884 AD, Rabbi Joseph Rabinowitz (aka Joseph Rabinovich) started the first Jewish congregations, that met on the Sabbath, observe the Biblical feasts, and maintained Jewish customs, since 300 AD, leading to Jewish people in the Promised Land to start similar congregations, soon afterwards, some of which remain to this day.

Since the Spirit of Truth began to be poured out on those Jewish congregations of the Children of Truth in the Promised Land, Israel has became a land of fields and forests, despite having been covered with thorns for centuries, as Mark Twain witnessed when he went from Haifa to Jerusalem in 1867 AD.  In fact, the largest growing area of roses in the world today is in the deserts of southern Israel.  Mark Twain had lamented that he had not seen so much as a goat in three or four days on his trip to Jerusalem, but today Israel is home to the only wild leopards in the Middle East, along with many wild animals from Africa, like hyenas, that have moved into Israel, as well as many wild animals from Europe and Asia, like wolves and red deer, that have moved into Israel, hosting more species of birds over the course of a year than anywhere else on Earth, and more than the seven million people who live in Israel.  Three thousand year old olive tree core samples show, that there was not one single year between when the Jews were scattered from Israel by the Romans in 135 AD until they began returning 1870 AD, where the land received both the early and late rains in that year, but since the Jews have came back to the Promised Land, both the early and late rains have came each and every year, causing Israel to become a leading supplier of fruits and vegetables to Europe.

Itamar Ben Avi, became the first native speaker of Hebrew in 1885 AD, some 1665 years after the last known native speaker of Hebrew had died in 220 AD, when his father, Eliezer Ben Yehudah, revived the Hebrew language, so that the people of Israel would have a common language.

People began to fly like eagles, after the Wright Brothers invented the airplane in 1903.  This has lead to tremendous increases in travel speeds while there have also been tremendous increases in knowledge, brought on by the networking of computers, since the first computer was invented in 1887 by Herman Hollerith, who started a company that became to be known as IBM.

When the Jews were liberated from the Nazi death camps in 1945 AD, some of them literally came out of their graves, that the Nazis had made them dig just before they shot them, but had instead hid in those graves, to be saved from the artillery of the Allies, when they freed the camp, and then those exact same Jews immigrated to the Promised Land, where they formed the IDF (Israel Defense Force), one of the greatest armies on Earth.

Then on May 14, 1948, in a single day, the day when the British Mandate expired, the Jews did what had taken the United States seventeen years to do: create its constitution, form its government, fight for its independence, after already becoming a country, and then gain international recognition as a country, so that it was literally born in a day.  The Jews proceeded to take possession of the Golan heights in 1967, as part of the country that President Truman had call "Israel", when he recognized it on behalf of the United States, just eleven minutes after it declared itself a nation. (The Jewish congress had not agreed on a name for the new country until this point.)

Today, the Ben Gurion airport, is where all immigrants fly into, is located in the area that was called in ancient times, "the shoulders of the Philistines", so they literally "fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines".  Instead, of coming in Spanish built ships, today the people of Israel fly in like doves, returning to the windows, that they had been sent out of.

The return of the people of Israel to the Promised Land is so unsettling to Arabs, that ancient enemies like Russia and Iran, after a three thousand year history of always being at war with each other, are working together to form a coalition of European and Middle Eastern nations, to come against Israel.  Ever since the state of Israel was recognized in 1948, the world has been trying to divide the Promised Land between the Jews of Israel and the so-called Palestinians (which literally means "invaders"), with increasing pressure and frequency, that has been greatly increasing from the time of Madrid Peace conference in 1991, all the way up to the current efforts of President Obama.  Jerusalem is the reason, that all of the surrounding nations are not be able to have peace with Israel.

The sixth kind of prophecy was an even longer term prophecy, that focused on the terrible days to come, in the not too distant future, that will bring about the reign of the Man of Truth.  This is important, because it clearly tells about what is going to soon be happening on the Earth.

Jeremiah wrote, that this process of the people of Israel returning to the Promised Land, will be completed at the end of a terrible period, called the time of the trouble of Jacob (Jeremiah 30:3-7).   Daniel wrote, that it would be a time of terrible trouble, unlike any that the world has ever seen (Daniel 12:1). Nahum wrote, that the Father of Truth will pour out His wrath upon the wicked, but will protect those who put their trust in Him (Nahum 1:2-7).

Daniel wrote, that during this time, a willful king, the Man of Lies (The Antichrist aka The Beast), will wage many wars, conquer many countries, except for Jordan (Moab, Ammon and Edom), enter into the Promised Land, and bring about the death of many people (Daniel 11:40-44).

Daniel wrote, that during this time, the Man of Lies, the prince who will come from the people, who destroyed the Second Temple in 70 AD, will confirm a seven year covenant, and then break it, after three and a half years, by setting up idols in the Third Temple, causing it be desolate, of those who worship the Father of Truth (Daniel 9:26-27).  Daniel wrote, that during this time, this willful king, the Man of Lies, will exalt himself above the Father of Truth, and will worship the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil), the god of forces, who his ancestors had not knowingly worshiped before (Daniel 11:35-39).  Daniel wrote, that during this time, this willful king, the Man of Lies, will set up his throne in the Temple, but that no one would be able to save him from the Man of Truth (Daniel 11:45).

Isaiah wrote, that the Man of Truth will cast the Father of Lies, and the Man of Lies, the King of Babylon, into Hell alive, so that they have no grave (Isaiah 14:4-20).  Isaiah wrote, that the Man of Truth will save the entire Earth from terrible trouble, when he destroys the Man of Lies, the Assyrian, in the Promised Land (Isaiah 14:24-27).   Nahum wrote, that out of the area of Nineveh (where ISIS is headquartered), would come this wicked counselor, the Man of Lies (Nahum 1:11).  Nahum wrote, that the Man of Truth would destroy this vile man, the Man of Lies, completely, and bring an end to the oppression of the people of Israel forever (Nahum 1:12-15).

Obadiah wrote, that the Edomites (southern Jordanians) will be completely destroyed, and that the people of Israel will possess the land of their enemies, on the day that the Man of Truth comes to reign (Obadiah 1:15-21). Nahum wrote, that the Man of Truth will completely destroy the wicked, so that they can never again afflict anyone (Nahum 1:8-10).  Zephaniah wrote, that the Man of Truth will completely destroy the wicked off the face of the Earth in the day of trouble, and their wealth will not save them from his wrath (Zephaniah 1:14-18).

The seventh kind of prophecy was an even longer term prophecy, that focused on events concerning the reign of the Messiah of Israel, after the terrible days of the Tribulation are over.  This is important, because it clearly tells about what life will be like, when the Messiah of Israel rules the Earth.

For example, there are prophecies covering everything about the reign of the Messiah of Israel, from his return to the time of the New Heaven and the New Earth, as shown below.

Isaiah wrote, that the Man of Truth will rule over the entire Earth from Jerusalem, and make the Law of Truth to be the law of the entire Earth (Isaiah 2:2-4).  Micah wrote, that the Man of Truth will destroy the war making capabilities of all nations, when he rules from Jerusalem, so that every person can live in peace and prosperity (Micah 4:1-4).

Isaiah wrote, that the Man of Truth will even cause the animals, to live in peace with each other (Isaiah 11:6-8).  Isaiah wrote, that during the reign of the Man of Truth, all animals will once again eat only plants (Isaiah 65:25).

Daniel wrote, that the Children of Truth will rule with the Man of Truth (Daniel 7:22).  Daniel wrote, that the Children of Truth will rule over all nations, under their king, the Man of Truth (Daniel 7:27).

Jeremiah wrote, that the gathering of all of the people of Israel to the Promised Land will be completed, when the Man of Truth begins his reign, and David will once again be their king (Jeremiah 30:8-10).  Ezekiel wrote, that the people of Israel will all be part of one nation, instead of two, and David will be the king of that nation forever (Ezekiel 37:21-25).  Hosea wrote, that the days of the people of Israel being without a king or priest, will be over forever, when David is made their king, by the Man of Truth (Hosea 3:4-5).

Isaiah wrote, that the Father of Truth will be called "the God of the whole Earth", instead only "the God of Israel", when the Man of Truth reigns (Isaiah 54:5).  Ezekiel wrote, that the Man of Truth will rebuild the Temple, so that the Gentiles will know, that the Father of Truth has set Israel apart from all other nations (Ezekiel 37:26-28).  Habakkuk wrote, that the knowledge of the Father of Truth will cover the entire Earth, in the same way that water covers the ocean (Habakkuk 2:14).  Zechariah wrote, that all nations will come before the Man of Truth each year, to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles, when he reigns over the entire Earth (Zechariah 14:16).

The eighth kind of prophecy was longest term prophecy of all, that focused on events concerning the New Heaven and New Earth, after the reign of the Man of Truth has brought the entire world into subjection, to the Father of Truth.  This is important, because it clearly tells about what life will be like in eternity.

For example, there are prophecies covering everything about the time of the New Heaven and the New Earth, as shown below:

Isaiah wrote, that all people will rejoice in the Father of Truth in the New Heaven and New Earth, because He will cause them to forget all of the trouble and pain of the current Heaven and Earth (Isaiah 65:16-18).  Isaiah wrote, that in the New Heaven and New Earth, that all people will come before the Father of Truth every Sabbath, and on the first day of each month, to worship Him, and to gaze upon His eternal judgment, on all of those who rebelled against Him, in the current Heaven and Earth (Isaiah 66:22-24).

So it important to study the books of the Prophets.

The books of the Prophets were all written by men, whose message were confirmed as being from the Father of Truth, by giving a prophecy that came to pass while they were alive.  The books of the Prophets gave prophecies about events, that came to pass after their authors died, to show that their messages were meant for future generations.  The books of the Prophets gave prophecies, that clearly identify the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel.  The books of the Prophets gave prophecies, that clearly show that the Gentiles would come into the House of Truth, through the Man of Truth, and that the Children of Truth would speak in tongues, when they are baptized in the Spirit of Truth.  The books of the Prophets gave prophecies, that clearly show that the Father of Truth has raised up the nation of Israel, so the Children of Truth can be certain, that the time of the Tribulation is near.  The books of the Prophets gave prophecies, that tell about the terrible days of the Tribulation.  The books of the Prophets gave prophecies, that tell about the reign of the Man of Truth, with the Children of Truth, over the entire Earth, from Jerusalem, that will come after the Tribulation.  The books of the Prophets gave prophecies, that tell about the New Heaven and New Earth, where the human race will finally live with the Father of Truth, forever.

In short, the entire plan of the Father of Truth to save the human race is found in the pages of the books of the Prophets.  There cannot be a more important thing to study in the entire Book of Truth, for it motivates the Children of Truth, to live a life that is fit for the His kingdom.

The Prophets make it plain, by their precise and literal fulfillment of many prophecies, that have came to pass, that you can be certain of a precise and literal fulfillment of the many prophecies, that are yet to come to pass. The Prophets leave no doubt, that the Man of Truth is the Messiah of Israel, when you examine their prophecies concerning the suffering of the Messiah of Israel, and how the Man of Truth fulfilled those prophecies, in a precise and literal way (Acts 3:18-21).  The Prophets make it plain, that anyone, who makes the Man of Truth their king, because they believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead, will come into the House of Truth (Romans 10:9-11).

Come into the House of Truth!
