The old testament is filled with earthly pictures which prophesy spiritual thing to come. Consider the old testament history of the earthly nation of Israel as a "once through" in which God is using earthly things to foreshadow the spiritual things belonging to the Christian church; so God is saying, "Look here at these earthly things- through these I am going to show you the spiritual things to come so that by looking here and now at the things that are seen, I am showing you the future spiritual history of the church to come". Thus when God called earthly Israel out of earthly bondage in earthly Egypt by the earthly covenant of the earthly deliverer (Moses), this is an earthly preview of God calling the spiritual Israel (the church) out of spiritual bondage by the spiritual Deliverer- which is Christ. So the beginning of the earthly nation of Israel is an earthly picture of the beginning of the spiritual Israel to come.

Now the old testament history runs the same course in the new: as earthly Israel became apostate in the latter days, incuring the judgment of God- so now does the spiritual Israel, the church. The church has became filled with darkness and untruths through the vain traditions and interpretations taught to them by their fathers. There are very few professing Christians who seek the truth with a sincere heart, but instead follow blindly after teachers who deceive them, allowing themselves to be deceived by not reading the scripture for themselves, nor listening to them that God sends to warn them. Now the judgment of God will arise against the church and he will utterly destroy them, and cast them off- save for a remnant of faithful who will be kept from the judgment by the WORD OF GOD. The church must be judged by fire to purify her, to cleanse her and to prepare her to receive her Lord and only that which is true will remain.

As the history of earthly Israel is prophetic of the history of the spiritual Israel, the judgment of God will come against spiritual Israel just as it did against earthly Israel in the days of the prophets of old; by the hand of the King of Babel; that is to say, the King of Confusion. As there was an earthly judgment against earthly Israel, there will be a spiritual judgment against spiritual Israel- and all who fall will be cut off from the name of Israel. Remember that what God is doing in the old testament is causing earthly events to happen in a specific sequence to say to you, "Look here at these visible earthly pictures and things I am causing to come to pass so that you can understand the invisible spiritual things when they come to pass as I will send them"

So all of the prophecies of the end against earthly Israel came to pass in the days of the prophets of old- the "great and terrible day of the Lord" was speaking of the coming of the King of Babel to destroy Jerusalem, throw down the earthly temple, and carry earthly citizens away into earthly captivity; this because they had turned from the truth unto the false idols (traditions) of their fathers, and filled the temple with their errors so that truth was cast down. Yet this is spiritual prophesy which will come to pass at the end of the history of spiritual Jerusalem- which is the church. How this judgment will come is shown to you in the earthly judgment of earthly Israel; again, this is why God is causing the earthly history of Israel to visibly come to pass- in order to show you the way the spiritual judgment will come to pass so that you who have sought after His truth will through understanding escape the test to come, and stand before the Lord to His glory.

The coming of the spiritual King of Confusion is spoken of by the apostles; Paul calls him the son of perdition. As you see in the old testament the King of Confusion came with all of his host to attack Jerusalem on the 10th day of the 10th month, and to encompass it. It is this of which Jesus spoke saying, "When you see Jerusalem encompassed by armies"; yet as in the former times it came to pass in an earthly way- this earthly is but a picture of the spiritual- that is, the heavenly. This will be a spiritual coming of a spiritual King of Confusion with all of his spiritual host to spiritually attack a spirtual city of Jerusalem- which is to say, the church. He will spiritually overcome them- save for a faithful remnant- and carry them away spiritually captive into spiritual Babel; which is, confusion.

This spiritual army is Satan and his angels who will come in a false parousia of the Lord. As the apostle Paul writes to you, the parousia of the son of perdition will come with all power and signs; to deceive them that have not followed after truth. On the 10th day of the 10th month this judgment will begin and this judgment will run the same course as the earthly judgment; even down to the day-month timeline of the earthly day of judgment by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar King of Babel; who, like Moses is an earthly picture of the spiritual Delieverer (that is, Christ Jesus); so Nebuchadnezzar is an earthly picture of the spiritual destroyer, that is, Satan- the true King of Confusion whom Paul calls "another Jesus"

This false Jesus will come with all power and signs saying that he is the returned King of Israel; to those without knowledge this will appear as nothing less than the second coming of the Messiah. Yet though this will come with all power and signs; it will come on the wrong day, out of season: on the 10th day of the 10th month (December/January) when scripture teaches that the King Messiah will return in the 7th month (September/October) according to the times appointed. This is the judgment; all those Christians who accept the false Christ as the true King of Israel will be cut off from the name of Israel, and they will be overcome and carried away captive into confusion. This is the Great Babel- the Great Confusion. This is why God is now revealing the meanings of the days and months appointed in the old testament, so that they who have sought Him will overcome the hour of temptation through the WORD OF GOD to His glory.

After spiritual Jerusalem is judged by the hand of King of Confusion, and overcome and carried away into confusion, then God will begin to work in the spiritual wilderness by the spiritual elect bringing them to rebuild the spiritual temple for the coming of the Lord in the 7th month; to the destruction of spiritual Confusion.

There are 5 non-festival day-month timelines in the old testament; 4 of them are the four judgment events (they are earthly judgment previews of spiritual judgment events):

1. Flood (begins 17th day, 2nd month)
2. Exodus
3. Purim
4. Coming of the Destroyer, the King of Confusion with all his host (begins 10th day of 10th month)

The 5th timeline is the rebuilding of the city and the temple:

The culmination of the second advent will then occur at the appointed festival day-months in the 7th month.

Hello John Cobb

Its anythihg too hard for the Lord to do?

Check out www.apostatechurches.com which is many pages in strong condemnation of the churches today.


They are not witnessing to the lost, neither are they keeping the Ten Commandments including the seventh day Sabbath. This is the Laodicean church age.


I have been to many churches over the years and could not find one that was
one even suitable for commendation by the Lord Jesus Christ such as the Philadelphia church.

Whatever your understanding of Israel, my only plea is that you look in the bible and take note of the day-month timelines that God has put therein. However difficult it may be to come to understanding of mysteries and the symbolism used by God in the mouths of the prophets, there is one thing that you cannot misinterpret, and these are the specific day-month timelines God has given for us to know the appointed times of the four judgments.

Of these the most important is the military campaign of the King of Babel against Jerusalem.

Jer 25:9 Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.

Just as Moses was an earthly preview of the spiritual Deliverer, Christ Jesus, so Nebuchadnezzar is an earthly preview of the spiritual destroyer, the son of perdition. Just as the earthly deliverer, Moses, began the work of earthly deliverence on the 14th day of the 1st month; so too did the spiritual Deliverer, Christ Jesus, began the work of spiritual deliverence on the 14th day of the 1st month- that which is done is that which will be done, as says the scripture; it is first done in an earthly way, then it is done in a spiritual way. Likewise:

Just as the earthly destroyer, Nebuchadnezzar, began the work of earthly judgment on the 10th day of the 10th month; so too will the spiritual destroyer, the son of perdition, begin the work of destruction on the 10th day of the 10th month- that which was done is that which will be done, and there is no new thing under the sun.

This is why this is thrice witnessed:

2Ki 25:1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.

Jer 52:4 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts against it round about.

Eze 24:1 Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.

Therefore no matter what your understanding of the prophecies, most importantly know the specific day-month festival/non-festival timelines provided in the bible and even if on some very odd chance anyone has slightly misunderstood the prophecies and misinterprets; these day-month timings are so specific and simple to understand that when this comes to pass on the 10th day of the 10th month then no Christian who has this knowledge of timing can possibly be deceived by the son of perdition into voluntary worship of angels as warned in places such as Col 2:18- worshipping the hosts of heaven as in the days of the prophets of old.

This judgment event will run the exact same course as in the days of the earthly destroyer, Nebuchadnezzar- culminating in the destruction of the false Christian church, that church of Laodecia when they voluntarily worship the host of heaven in their coming confusion (which is signified by that GREAT BABEL): but to those that God is giving this timing understanding, the son of perdition will be revealed as a liar, while to them without this understanding, he will be revealed as the Christ.

The true Christ Jesus returns in the 7th month as appointed. The false Christian church is not given the understanding of the timing of judgment which has been revealed to us; and it is this simple knowledge from the WORD OF GOD that will keep us from the hour of temptation, in which Eve will once again be tempted by the serpent, and beguilded. That which was done is that which will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.

Also should any not know, the biblical calendar is not the same as our modern Gregorian calendar; so you must watch according to the biblical calendar. Any who may require help there is this link:

The 10th month is called there Tevet- so you may input Tevet 10 of any year and find the date as it corresponds to the western Gregorian Jan though Dec calendar. For instance, this year the 10th day of the 10th month will fall on DEC 23 2012; then if nothing happens on DEC 23 2012- watch Tevet 10 in the next year- and so on.

For those others- the 10th month can be generalized to December/January so that makes it easier to remember, though lacks specificity. So we may say the false Jesus will be revealed in December/January to deceive the false Christian church (and the world) then the return of Christ Jesus to the destruction of GREAT BABEL September/October.

Okay. Clear enough.

Ecclesiastes 1:9, 3:15.

More importantly, consider, Ecclesiastes 12:13,14

"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."


As Moses taught: Deuteronomy 5:7-21 written on stone, hidden away until the time it will be revealed for placing in the rebuilt temple as the Law for all mankind, brought out when he returns as one of the two witnesses at God's appointed time, Revelation 11:3-6.
