Great book that was just released in July 2023 that I highly recommend reading:


Description from Author:

This book is written from the perspective that the majority of the end-time prophecies recorded in the Bible, were fulfilled shortly after the Book of Revelation was completed. This belief is based upon multiple scriptures, including the very first verse of the very first chapter of the Book of Revelations, which informs the reader that John was recording events which must shortly come to pass.

Why then, more than 2,000 years later, are so many church leaders still telling their congregations to expect the fulfilment of prophecy, which John clearly informed the reader back in the first century, must shortly come to pass?

Did John make a massive mistake? Did those prophecies not come to pass shortly after he had recorded them? Or have we missed something? Have certain events occurred that have effectively been hidden from history?

Whilst I'm fully aware that the majority of folk would dismiss the Bible completely, there are millions of Christians world-wide who believe the Scriptures to be the written Word of God.

Maybe it's time to revaluate our understanding of the end-times prophecies. Because if John was right, then there is something seriously wrong with the historical timeline which we've all been taught.

When we look at all the lies, the deception and the blatant propaganda, deliberately engineered to create fear, strife and uncertainty which is taking place in the world today, and especially so over the last three years, could it possibly be because we are living in that particular and unique time-frame, referred to in the Bible as the Little Season? An open-ended period of time during which all the nations of the earth will be deceived by Satan, the ancient serpent god of this world.

If such is the case, and there are multiple reasons to believe so, then we have also been deceived big time, as to exactly where we are currently at in the Biblical prophetic time-line. In which case, far more prophecy has already been fulfilled, than most of us care to realise, including the second coming of Christ.

—————

This author agrees with my understanding of scripture - that we are living many years after the great tribulation, Armageddon, 2nd coming of Christ, 1st resurrection, and even the 1000 year reign of Christ. We are living today in Satan’s little season before the final war of Gog and Magog (revelation 20), and the Great White Throne of Judgment; and the New Heavens and New Earth.
 
This belief is based upon multiple scriptures, including the very first verse of the very first chapter of the Book of Revelations, which informs the reader that John was recording events which must shortly come to pass.
The words "shortly come to pass" are translated from γενέσθαι ἐν τάχει. A literal wooden translation would read, 'to take place in quickness'. This is not indicating how soon the events will occur from the perspective of the writer but rather how quickly they will occur once they begin.

Why then, more than 2,000 years later, are so many church leaders still telling their congregations to expect the fulfilment of prophecy, which John clearly informed the reader back in the first century, must shortly come to pass?
Why? Because they've done their homework and studied the text.
 
I'll say again, since Damascus is still a city, and the "two sticks" of Ezekiel are CLEARLY not 'echad' - and have NOT been!!! - etc, etc, etc:

If "all" has been fulfilled, and the Real Yahushua has already been back and we missed it, it was a pitiful work on His part.

I don't buy that for a second.
 
It would be extremely depressing if we were in the post-millennium dispensation and everything is so obviously deteriorating.
What would there be to look forward to?

It's a shocker - right? We may of missed out on the 1st resurrection, and the 1000 year reign. So you bring up a good question - what is there to look forward to?

There is good news - if we're indeed in the Little Season from Revelation 20 - then we're at the door step to the Great White Throne of Judgement, and the New Heavens and New Earth - with New Jerusalem coming down from Heaven (Revelation 21). That's great news. We don't have to go through the Great Tribulation - which is a period of time known as the worst period in human history.

After Satan's little season ends (where Scripture says he deceives all the nations) - he is thrown into the lake of fire; and then we have the Great White Throne of Judgement + New Heavens and New Earth. So we can still make it out of this satanic world system if we put our faith in Christ. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. His covenant is also eternal:

Hebrews 13:20
Now may the God of peace, having brought out from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep, our Lord Jesus, by the blood of the eternal covenant.

PS> Got a reference?
Revelation 20:3

And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled; and after that he must be loosed a little season.

I'm just putting my own thoughts into this matter regarding the length of time - but if the reign of Christ was for 1,000 years, then how many years would a little season possibly add up to? I think around 250-350 years is a fair estimate. That would give satan enough time to infiltrate world governments for a one world government/control, and deceive all the nations. Many of these secret societies like Skull and Bones, and Freemasonry started in the late 1700's and 1800's.

The "Age of Enlightenment" started in the late 17th century/early 18th century. And what is Lucifer? He is the light bringer. The enlightened one.

2 Corinthians 11:4
And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

Isaiah 14:12 AMP
“How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning [light-bringer], son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the ground, You who have weakened the nations!

We also have the statue of liberty which looks very similar to a painting of Lucifer - with the chains cut off. So it's very possible this "Little Season" may of started somewhere in the late 17th century. Which means we could be coming close to an end. No wonder Satan has been pushing on all cylinders lately, and as he gets closer to his final destination (lake of fire), don't be surprised if things deteriorate even further. Things are not going to improve imo, because Satan's deception is successful:

Rev 20:8-10
He will gather them together for battle—a mighty army, as numberless as sand along the seashore. 9 And I saw them as they went up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded God’s people and the beloved city. But fire from heaven came down on the attacking armies and consumed them. Then the devil, who had deceived them, was thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur, joining the beast and the false prophet. There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

Most of the human race took the covid jab. Many nations also were lock in step with each other. Imo - that shows how much influence Satan already has among all the nations. Around 72% of the world population took at least one jab. Will this same population be deceived into marching against God's beloved city?

Revelation 1:7
Look! He comes with the clouds of heaven. And everyone will see him— even those who pierced him. And all the nations of the world will mourn for him. Yes! Amen!

Mark 14:61-62
Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?” “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

Matthew 16:28
And I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom.”

1 Peter 4:7
The end of all things is near.

1 Corinthians 7:31
For this world in its present form is passing away.

Elijah Prophecy:
Malachi 4:5-6
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: 6 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.

2 Kings 1:8
They replied, “He had a garment of hair and had a leather belt around his waist.” The king said, “That was Elijah the Tishbite.”

Matthew 3:4
John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist.

Matthew 11:11 and Verse 14-15
Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist 14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come. 15 Whoever has ears, let them hear.

Matthew 24:34
Truly I tell you, “this generation” will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. (this speech included things like the fall of Jerusalem, the Great Tribulation, and his 2nd coming).

The greatest news is that it is merely another theory.
 
I am always skeptical of this "Narcissistic Eschatology". In other words, all this prophecy stuff is all about me and my generation. It HAS to be! Just look at me and how beautiful I am and how ugly is everybody else!
I believe scripture to be sure, I just dont believe many theologians and politicians.
I am reminded of the famous philosopher Mark Twain who (loosely recalled) said, "It's not what I don't understand that bothers me but rather what I DO understand!"
 
There is good news - if we're indeed in the Little Season from Revelation 20 - then we're at the door step to the Great White Throne of Judgement, and the New Heavens and New Earth - with New Jerusalem coming down from Heaven (Revelation 21).
If His 'second coming' and thousand year 'reign' were so easily missed...I can't get too excited about a Great White Throne or anything else that might be just as disappointing.

Sorry, I think YHVH is much, MUCH more impressive than that.

Not everything has been fulfilled. We still have the Little Season to get through, then the Great White Throne of Judgement and New Heavens and New Earth. But most of the prophecies have been fulfilled.

Lord Jesus came for the lost sheep of Israel:

Matthew 15:24
He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”

He also came for Judgement as well (the Great and Terrible Day of the LORD):

Luke 12:49-50
I have come to set the world on fire, and I wish it were already burning! 50 I have a terrible baptism of suffering ahead of me, and I am under a heavy burden until it is accomplished.

We know from the Scriptures that Israel was given a certificate of divorce. So in order for them to be brought back in - there had to be a new covenant. Through the blood that was shed by the Messiah - we have a new eternal covenant. Therefore, the divorced Israel was brought back in by the Messiah's blood. Also the gentile that believed and repented was grafted in as well. All this was accomplished before the fall of Jerusalem:

Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

Colossians 1:23
This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

Then came Judgement:

2 Peter 3:10
“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”

1 Peter 4:7
The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.

After the Great Tribulation (Nero's name added up to 666, and he persecuted Christians for 3.5 years), and Armageddon ended - a period of time of peace was on the earth. The 1000 year reign of Christ. After that ended - the rest of the dead came back to life along with Satan being loosed from his prison cell. This period of time is known as the little season - where satan is allowed to deceive all the nations of the earth. I believe today we're approaching the end of that little season.

The whole world witnessed it. But it wasn't in our generation. It was a massive spectacle. But it wasn't in our generation.

I believe our generation today is living well over a thousand years after those events took place. Therefore, our history has been severely tampered with imo. Satan, today, has even deceived parents into gender confusion for their own children - how much easier would it be to manipulate/fabricate our history books? If you look closely, however, there is evidence of a worldwide reign in our past history. It's in the leftover architecture that's found in every continent. Most of the evidence was destroyed through fires, and the many recent wars.

I believe the Word teaches the 2nd coming came in “their” lifetime. I believe the Golden Age (1000 year reign) is past. Satan has been loosed for at least a few hundred years now. Satan, the great deceiver, will even try to make it seem like we're living before the great tribulation. That is part of the deception imo. Stick with the Word. Go through the Scriptures and see for yourself. The Word made flesh and his apostles pointed to the 2nd coming happening in their own lifetimes.

So are you maintaining that we are in a "post-scriptural, post-prophecy" time?
No I believe we're still in Revelation 20. Before "The Final Judgement" and "New Jerusalem" coming down from Heaven. Therefore, not everything has been fulfilled.

If this is the little season - we still have to get through Satan's little season - and Scripture says he will be successful in deceiving all the nations. He will gather all the nations into war against God's beloved city. Anyone who is deceived into joining this army - scripture says - fire will come down from Heaven and consume them:

Reve 20:7-9
When the thousand years come to an end, Satan will be let out of his prison. 8 He will go out to deceive the nations—called Gog and Magog—in every corner of the earth. He will gather them together for battle—a mighty army, as numberless as sand along the seashore. 9 And I saw them as they went up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded God’s people and the beloved city. But fire from heaven came down on the attacking armies and consumed them.

Rev. 20:10
Then the devil, who had deceived them, was thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur, joining the beast and the false prophet. There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

It's very obvious satan is alive and well, and he is deceiving all the nations - whether you believe we're living before the Great Tribulation or during his Little Season - we're 100% not living in the NEW Heavens and Earth. Why? Because of Scripture:

Revelation 21:
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. 2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

3 I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”

5 And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!” And then he said to me, “Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true.” 6 And he also said, “It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life. 7 All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children.

8 “But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”


I think most of us can agree satan hasn't been thrown into the fiery lake of fire (his final destination). So, therefore, we're living before the Great Tribulation or during Satan's Little Season. Those are the two only options imo - per careful study of scripture. If you closely look at scripture - it points to the little season. If you closely look at what the world teaches - Lord Jesus hasn't returned back yet. Regardless whether you believe we're living before the great tribulation or during Satan's Season - the eternal covenant is the same. Repentance and Faith in Lord Jesus Christ and receive the gift from God - being reborn by the Spirit.

I think you need to take your time, pray, and do an objective exegetical study of scripture (you come across as a young in the faith very enthusiastic believer)

Be careful regarding what and who you read. There are balanced mature men on here who you can discuss different doctrinal positions with instead of attempting to present a book and doctrine with the solid certainty of the gospel, that has more holes than a colander.

Just because someone writes a book or a long post does not mean they are a teacher chosen by Christ to stop the body of Christ to not be tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine, which you seem to be.

For the doctrine that you present, you would have to firmly believe that even though YAH God was able to preserve the scriptures that make us wise unto salvation, you are inadvertently presenting that he failed to preserve any record of Christ and his millennial reign anywhere on earth with no documented accounts or observations anywhere.

Now even though I know that not all history is preserved through written word, why would YAH stop all of a sudden to preserve evidence of his truth even in historical data when he has done so with unerring accuracy and certainty for previous millenia, it makes no sense.

I came across this doctrine in the late 90's and was able to study and discard it pretty quickly as a relatively young believer, I am sure you will do the same, take a step back, breath, read scripture first without eisegetical supposition as your framework.

Shalom Love and Blessings

I love the community here, because not only do they accept Lord Yeshua - Jesus Christ - as their Savior and Messiah - but also they love his Torah/Law. It's hard for me to relate to most of Christendom when they do the same thing the pharisees did - teaching commandments of men as doctrines of God - and at times these human traditions even nullify the word of God. If King Jesus is the Word made flesh - how can any Christian see something in the Torah as sin? Even Paul in the New Testament says he loves God's law, and that it's Holy and Good.

I won't ever say I have all the answers. I share what I find in his Word, and it can sometimes produce fruitful discussions. I think most Christians today will agree that Satan is alive and well - deceiving the nations. Scripturally speaking - that means we can only be living before the Great Tribulation, or during Satan's Little Season. Satan is locked up in prison during the 1000 year reign, and he's in the lake of fire during the New Heaven and New Earth (Rev. 21). Regardless of the case - it doesn't make one change how salvation works.

Shalom Love and Blessings to you as well.
