Preface
The vision of numbers 1, 7, and the Star of David is a prophetic revelation of the heart of God for all humanitythe seed of the woman in Genesis 3:15. This seedJesus Christwould be birthed through one man, Abraham. God made a promise, a covenant, to Abraham: Go to a land I will show you, I will make you into a great nation [Israel] and all the nations of the earth would be blessed through you, all the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever (Genesis 13:15). Notice that offspring , the seed is one person. This promise is both of a spiritual and physical nature.
The promise has continued far beyond this patriarchs lifetime. Today, nations are blessed through the seed Jesus Christ. Many are coming to faith, believing and accepting the work that was done by Christ on the cross of Calvary for the sins of humanity. This nation (Israel) is Gods timepiece in the earth; it is Christs inheritance. He will return one day to claim this land and rule from the capital city of Jerusalem as Lords of lords and Kings of kings over all the nations of the world, forever and ever.
As we near the end of this age, Israel will play a significant role in the end-time. The vision and revelation of this book#1, #7 and the points to the birth of Israel as a nation, Gods chosen people, and her role for all humanity. Whatever God is doing in the earths realm in the end-times will be done through Israel. As believers, we are told by Jesus to keep watch. Keep your eyes on events taking place surrounding Israel, the Middles East, and the nations of the world.
I encourage all believers to read and understand the importance and purpose of Israel as a nation and Gods chosen people. We the Gentiles are blessed through Abraham and grafted into eternal life by the seed of the woman, Jesus Christ.
I hope you will enjoy this book and gain a better understanding of Israels role as a people and nation in the End Times.
Introduction
The moral deterioration of humankind after disobedience in the Garden of Eden was connected with the advance of civilization, and when it was corrupted beyond repair, it had to be destroyed by the Flood. Yet after the new beginning, vices were multiplied, and human insolence had far-reaching effect. Arrogance and ambition in the race brought universal dispersion. Yet with rebellious humanity cursed through the dispersion around the world, the reader wonders about Gods relationship to the cursed race.
After the judgement at Babel, when people were scattered throughout the world, Gods relationship with the human race was broken. The moral deterioration of humanity over the earth led to an election of a people who would serve as a source of blessing for all humanity. The working of this divine plan began with sovereign creation and developed toward the selection of a chosen people. This was done by focusing on one man, Abraham, and his seed . Gods saving will was extended to the scattered nations through Abraham, who was loosed from his tribal ties among the nations. He was made the founder of this new nation (Israel) for setting apart the worship of God in the world. The recipient of this promise ( the Seed ) would be far-reaching even beyond this new nation. This seed is Gods son and became reality in Jesus Christ who would reconcile humanity to Himself. Second Corinthians 5:18 (NIV) says, All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.
In Genesis 12:1-3 (NIV), a promise of blessing and curse was given to this man, Abraham. The promised blessing would give the seed to the patriarchs, and to the seed, the cursing would alienate, deprive, and disown the seed. This seed, Gods Son, Jesus Christ, would be disowned by his own people, the Jews. He would be crucified. He would die and would be resurrected so that all humanity would live and have eternal life. Since God is a God of order, he will bring the end of this dispensation in his perfect timing and in a manner and consistency with His word.
We see his divine order throughout the Bible from the uniformity of how covenants, numbers, signs, and symbols are used in scriptures. Numbers 1, 3, 7, 10, and 12 are essential key to understanding the design of Gods word. When we search them out and understand them, they reveal the handiwork of God. Isaiah 40:25 (HBFV) says, To whom then will you compare Me, or who is MY equal? Says the Holy One, Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who has created these things. Who brings out their host by number? In Genesis 1:14 (NIV), the sun, moon, and stars serve as signs that point to God as well and mark the advancing of time, days, seasons, and years.
Symbols are used throughout the Bible to represent certain events (e.g., Jezebel represents immorality, idolatry, and apostasy). The Bible speaks of several different covenants that God made with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants to the way He organized His people in the Old and New Testament. Scripture tells us, Let all things be done decently and in order (1 Corinthians 14:40, NIV). We see an orderly flow of ceremonies and practices within the tabernacle and the temple that points to the Seed . He has also designed an order for the home and church, from Genesis to Revelation, and we see that God is a covenant-keeping God. He makes promises and uses numbers, times, seasons, signs, and symbols to bring to pass His will in the earth from one generation to another.
