Section 6: Opening Prophecy, Article 3 Confirming the Covenant with Many for Seven Years Page 6
What is Yehuveh stating? This is one of the most powerful statements in all of Scriptures: “During this final seven years when we reach that point where we individually confirm our covenant with Yehuveh, the yokes of control and enslavement of the world are forever broken from our necks.” This is the reality and beauty of Jeremiah 30:7-8: “Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of [through, because of] it. For it shall come to pass in that day, saith Yehuveh of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him.” In reality, “the sacrifice and the oblation” are equivalent to the enslavement tribute or debt for which payment is completed in “the acceptable year of Yehuveh,” 7 April 2008 to 26 March 2009, which is indeed “in the midst of this week.” For the timing and importance of this year, study Anointed to Proclaim the Acceptable Year of Yehuveh.         Have you come to your “day of Jacob’s trouble” and full deliverance yet? The struggle is not over physical life and death issues; rather it is that final struggle over whether you will fully trust Yehuveh or insist on managing your life yourself. For every one of us it is a desperate struggle and will demand a submission to Yehuveh to which we have never before committed. The issues of “that day” are beyond language. We know Yehuveh is awesome, powerful, compassionate, and reliable, yet we resist dropping completely into His hands. Yet this unreserved surrender is the foundation condition of both our covenant relationship with Him and of our irreversible deliverance from the systems and powers of this world. Compare Jeremiah 27:2; 28:4, 10, 13; Isaiah 9:4; 10:27; 14:25; Ezekiel 34:27; Nahum 1:13.         The traditional view that causing “the sacrifice and oblation” to cease describes Yehoshua’s (Jesus’) death bringing an end to blood sacrifices just adds one more evidence that we totally fail to understand Torah. Animal-sacrifice and human-sacrifice as an atonement for sin is another of the “inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit,” from which we must be delivered. Not only is it totally unscriptural to apply this prophecy to the life of Yehoshua (Jesus) in the first century A.D., but it utterly misrepresents the Hebrew text to discuss ever ending Yehuveh’s system of surrendering our thoughts, understandings, plans, and dreams to Him for His blessing and re-direction. It is not our sacrifices of ourselves to Him which must end during these last seven years, but rather our enslavement to the devisings of confused human teachers and corrupt human governments. Jeremiah 16:19. “The Overspreading of Abominations”         Then Yehuveh capstones the discussion of coming events with the summary words: “for the overspreading of abominations He shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.”         If you remove all the supplied words from the last phrase, you end up with the rather awkward reading: “overspreading abominations desolate, until consummation determined poured [flowed] desolate.” Smoothing that out into something more readable, think about what Yehuveh is stating: “overspreading abominations will desolate the earth until all desolation flows to completion.”         It is the reality of Isaiah 24:1: “Behold, Yehuveh maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.”         As already quoted, if we have confirmed our covenant with Yehuveh we have already been delivered from both the cause and consequences of this global devastation: “Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. Yehuveh redeemeth the soul of His servants: and none of them that trust in Him shall be desolate.” “Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For Yehuveh shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.” Psalms 34:21-22; Proverbs 3:25-26.         This global consummation will clean house on evil forever and “bring in everlasting righteousness,” for Yehuveh promises us that “affliction shall not rise up the second time.” Regarding all the rebellious and wicked, Yehuveh assures us, “Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good, . . . until there be an end of them.” “An end is come, the end is come!” Nahum 1:9; Jeremiah 44:27; Ezekiel 7:6.                                  Gael Bataman          Originally Written:           5 November 2005 Latest Update:              14 February 2010     Return to Zadok Home            Continue . . .          Return One Page          Go to Section 6: Prophecy   Go to Historical Calendar    Go to Daniel 11-12     Go to Revelation    Go to Years of Returning (Darius)
