Introduction
The return of Jesus is an extremely current topic at the moment.
It is so timely that even many believers have stopped talking
about it. According to Jesus' teaching we should talk about
current topics!
This booklet presents as a summary how the Bible is God's
revelation to humankind from its beginning to its end. It is
written history which is recorded beforehand. Israel is an
especial sign for the times.The Bible says that the believers
won't be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord before the
Antichrist appears (2Th.2:3) to ratify the peace pact with the
many (Dan.9:27), I won't begin to clarify a clear word to make
it its opposite: "the church will hold back the appearance of
the Antichrist".
I understand that the peace treaty, which is to come true in
near future, is the sound of the last trumpet or the strike of
midnight of the clock of times when the believers are taken and
the thief comes in. The time of wrath which is worse than the
end of the age or the Flood (Mt 24:21). Who would like to stay
here?
It is possible to be saved from the day of wrath. One has to
turn to Christ and stay in the narrow way. This is the core and
teaching of this book. One has to have a very stupid mind if he
isn't in Christ, because the last sign is explained beforehand.
By telling about future events in advance we are forcing people
inside the Ark of salvation. I've done my duty as a forcer. The
reader must make his own choice.
In Lappeenranta, August 1986,
Harri Veijonen
The Future Peace Treaty in Mideast and the Disappearance of the Believers
Let no one deceive you in any way, for that day will not come
(2Th 2:3) until the Antichrist appears to ratify the peace pact
with the many (Dan 9:27).
The peace treaty in the Middle East which is under preparation
at present, has been announced in the Bible both in the Old and
New Testaments. During those days when the peace treaty is being
drafted, the watchful Christians (Mt 25) and fetuses and other
little children (Mt 24:19) disappear up in the clouds to take
refuge (1 Th 4:17).
Things Are Known Beforehand
The prophecies of the Bible are not vague but very exact written
history which is recorded in advance. Many study the scriptures
and in these times the knowledge shall be increased (Dan 12:4).
The one who doesn't study won't become greater in understanding
either. No matter how hard you study, the word won't be revealed
before its due time, the right season (Eccl 3). And there are
some people for whom the seasons never come. But he who
continuously stays in Christ, though not understanding the word,
he will be wise. When the wise leave, only the foolish will stay
here (Mt 25) inspite of the knowledge or the other possible
talents they may have received from the Lord.
The prophecies of the end of ages are sealed till the time of
the end (Dan 12:9). But already as early as in 1823 John Ag.
Brown from the USA discovered that the seals of the book of
Daniel had been broken. Brown predicted, or made calculations
based on the Bible, that the dominion of Turkey in Palestine
would collapse in 1917.
A real breakthrough in the study of prophecies took place at the
end of the 19th century. One has to mention particularly Mr M.
Baxter and Mr G.Guinnes.
The biblical researcher from London, Doctor Grattan Guinnes,
published his book "The End of the Age" in 1895. The book came
out in Finnish in 1898 by the publisher K.J. Gummerus Oy.
Dr
Guinnes calculated that there are four years of the end of the
age that bear special importance. These years were 1915, 1917,
1923 and 1924 © year 1917 would be especially vital and crucial.
Guinnes: "We won't even try to predict those events that may
take place during these strange years in the future. We only
want to remark that consistency seems to strengthen the
presumption that the years which remain are similar in quality
of their incidents to those corresponding years 2520 years ago.
The events whose witnesses we are going to be are similar in
nature to events at the beginning of the times of the Gentiles.
Particularly the last three years are significant thinking of
the destinies of the Roman Catholic Church, Israel and God's
congregation.
"A thinking reader should reflect upon these facts, draw
conclusions and ask himself this question: If the year 604 B.C.
saw the birth of the kingdom of Babylon and its reign over
Israel, what incidents might the corresponding year at the end
of the age see? The answer is a God's secret and we aren't able
to say anything. But there is no doubt that those who live to
see the year 1917 have reached the ending year which is one of
the most important ones © if not the most important."
Afterwards it is easy to specify Guinnes. The first year was not
1915 but 1914. Because 2520 years earlier a war began to deport
the Jews, now the ending of the sevenfold judgements (7 * 360
years = 2520 years) would be realized by war to abolish the
Turkish dominion and to open the country for the Jews. At that
time also began the unparalleled rise of nations against nations
which Jesus talked about (Mt 24:7). If that was the beginning of
the "last generation" (Mt 24:34) whose lifetime is 80 years at
its most (Ps 90:10), the return of Jesus should then take place
around the year 1994. Some people calculate though that the last
generation would start in 1948 and last 40 years, thus Jesus
would come on the clouds around 1988. But Jesus actually talks
about the vanishing of one generation. What generation vanishes
in 40 years? Besides, that generation should see not only the
invisible comeback of Jesus to take his own to the wedding of
the Lamb but also the public arrival from the wedding to the
Mount of Olives (Zech 14:4).
The year 1917 was really an important year. For Israel the date
9.12.1917 was of great significance. That day the English
general Allenby acted according to his prayer answers and used a
plane (the Turks in Jerusalem had never seen an air bird before)
to drop his order to surrender equipped with his signature.
Isaiah 31:5 came true, the Islamites surrendered in Jerusalem.
The Soviet Union was also born in 1917. Unfortunately that has
an effect on the destinies of the Jews and of God's
congregation. Gog (the Prince Gog is the supreme commander of
the areas Roos, Mesek and Tuubal, correction 1990), the gigantic
nation at the north of Israel, finally attacts the mountains of
Israel and is destroyed there. The battle of Gog is said to take
place during peace (Hes 38-39). Although the area of Gog might
reach the western coast of Norway at some point, there is,
however, a translation error in the Bible. Eventually Gog
confines itself to an area which corresponds to Siberia (Joel
2:20; K.O. Syväntö:
"The Translation Errors in the O.T.")
The Balfour declaration was given in 1023-24, the right of the
Jews to return to their home country which was ratified by the
League of Nations. 2520 years earlier every one of the Jews
was forced to deport the country.
The crucial role of England in
these events had been known in advance. The other famous
explainer of prophetic word, an English reverend M Baxter
comments in his book "40 Wonders of Prophecy" (1866) that
according to the Word that the nation that especially helps
Israel when it returns to Palestine will be England. "Who are
these that fly like a cloud, and like the doves to their
windows? Surely the coasts shall wait for me, and the ships of
Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far,..." (Isaiah 60:8©9).
Tarshish means England in the prophecies, said Baxter already at
that time although nobody knew what the "clouds" were.
Only our generation can comprehend the writings about the radio
(Mt 24:6) to the satellite (Rev 11:9-10); from the airplane
(Jews will also return flying, Isa 60:8 etc.) to missiles
(Rev:1); from the atomic fission (2Pet 3:11) to neutron rays
(Rev 9:4); from the trade growth (Lk 17:29 etc.) to skin money
(whoever receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand during
the next phase after plastic money will be damned Rev 13:16,
14:10, 19:20), from the First World War to the Chinese army with
two hundred million solders (Rev 9:16), etc.
All the signs that will be completed during the time of wrath
can already be seen. God, in his longsuffering, is showing us
the signs so that even the most foolish one, the most godless
one, would become wise. The very last proofs include the plague
of the Book of Revelations. The consequence of sin: aids,
toraksii and a species that will kill even more quickly. An
efficient cure for the plague can't be expected in near future,
and the number of people dying of aids, which is a slower
species, will be doubled already in eight months. At that pace
every 16th person will be perished by plague (Rev 6:8) in less
than a decade.
The Establishment of the State of Israel
It wasn't for the first disciples to know the times or dates
(Act 1:7) but everyone should know how to interpret the present
time (Lk 12:56). Jesus did give an answer to the disciples'
question concerning the restoration of Israel (Acts 1:6), but it
is only our generation that has comprehended the answer. From
the sentence "It is not for you to know..." (Acts 1:7), using
the numerical values in Hebrew, it has been determined the date
14.5. 1948. That day exactly the state of Israel was founded!
In 1948 the rapture of the believers was already near (Mt 24:32). Now in 1986 it is nearer, very near! Already the
Old Testament tells about it: "For the Lord will rebuild Zion and
appear in his glory" (Ps 102:16). "Let this be written for a
future generation..." (Ps 102:18, `Dor aharon', the last
generation). The last generation was already breathing when
Israel was established!
The fig tree means Israel in the Bible. Jesus asked people to
learn from his fig tree parable: "As soon as its twigs get
tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near"
(Mt 24:32). The summer in Israel is so hot that the trees
(peoples and nations) suffer. The early figs come in April (Jews
are converting to Christianity, the so
called Messianic).
Only after that will the leaves come out (the establishment of
the Jewish state and the return of the Jews)
and after that in
August-September the great fig harvest will take place. In
that "summer", during the seven
year time of wrath, the Jews
will turn (the fruit to a fig tree) to Christ in vast crowds
(Dan 9:23 etc.). First the Gentile Christians, i.e. the non-Jewbelievers, will be caught up (Rom 11:25).
Jesus himself said that as it was in the days of Noah, so will
it be at his coming on the clouds (Mt 24:37). First there was
the generation sign (Methuselah=then there is a flood), then a
door sign (they started to build the ark) and as the last sign
the animals went into the ark even on their own initiative and a
week later the door was shut. At present we have the generation
sign again (eg. 1917+81=1998. Israel is the door sign (1948+the
year of jubilee about 50) and the last sign is the fake peace
alliance, the peace treaty concerning Jerusalem.
When we tell even the events beforehand, there are some who say
that one cannot know the time. They plant trees and make other
long©term plans as the foolish in the days of Noah Lk 17:26.
The wise will prepare themselves for going up in the clouds!
Those who are not getting ready for the rapture will stay here.
The wise know the time of the rapture even though they don't
know the exact date. "Even so, when you see all these things,
you know that it is near, right at the door" (Mt 24:33)! "Don't
let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come
until the man of lawlessness is revealed (2Th 2:3) to ratify the
peace pact in the Mideast (Dan 9:27).
If the peace treaty had
been made by now, the wise would already have gone!
The SixDay War 1967
There really are certain things that will be realized before the
church leaves. One of them was the six©day war in 1967. One
could have guessed the length of the war, because the sixth
millenium of the present time is ending, and the seventh is
about to begin. "There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the
people of God" (Heb 4:9).
Isaiah 60 tells about the future splendour of Zion, i.e. Israel.
Many phases are experienced on the way to this splendour. First
they arrive in the country by ships and airplanes (Isa 60:8,9).
In verse 22 it is said: "The least one shall become a thousand,
and a small one a strong nation; I the Lord will hasten it in
its time". The latter part of the last word in Hebrew is
"shana", a year.
In Hebrew there aren't separate numbers but the
letters have numerical values. This considered, the sentence can
also be translated: I, the Lord, will hastily fulfill that after
19 years from now" (K.O.Syväntö).
Israel became independent in 1948. When you add 19 years to that
year, you will get year 1967. That year exactly Israel became a
strong nation quickly, in six days.
As we have already observed, the "days" in the prophecies of the
book of Daniel mean years. So for example a week means seven
years (Dan 9:23-27). A famous Jew historian Josefus tells that
when Alexander the Great visited Jerusalem (around year 340
B.C.), the Old Testament researchers presented him the O.T.
prophecy about a young Greek who destroys the Persian Empire:
Alexander the Great believed that he was the man, was encouraged
and adopted a more favourable attitude towards the Jews.
The "he©goat" in the book of Daniel was Alexander the Great. In
333 B.C. he was the leader of the war against Persia, and
carried out the plans that his father had left incomplete: the
freeing of Asia Minor from the dominion of Persia and, thus, the
conquering of the whole Persia. (Uusi Tietosanakirja, Karisto 1928). He also conquered Palestine and Jerusalem
in 333 B.C.
It was predicted that from that day when the young Greek
conquers the Holy City, it would take 2300 "days" i.e. years
when it would again be in the possesion of Jerusalem (Dan 8:14).
©333+2300= 1967! Jesus said that Jerusalem will be trampled on
by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled
(Lk 21:24)!
It is true that it is easier to understand the prophecies in the
Bible after than before their fulfillment. But one did have the knowledge to wait for Jerusalem to fall into the hands of
Israel, as happened in the six©day war around July 6, 1967.
Vilho Rantanen from the Free Church writes in his book "Israel as the Sign of Times" (Päivä 1966):
first of all the church is
looking forward to the day when the Jerusalem of Jesus' times
falls into the hands of Israel" (p. 158). A Lutheran professor,
Aapeli Saarisalo, writes about the same matter in the book
"Jerusalem, if I Thee Forget" (WSOY 1963): "But the old
Jerusalem Jesus is referring to (Lk 21:24) is still being
trampled on; no Jew is allowed to step on its soil . The
prophecy is closer to its fulfillment than ever before. Jews
themselves have acknowledged that it was God's hand that gave
them the present area, and the same hand was still preventing
them from taking the old city in Jerusalem into possession" (p. 64).
When waging the remarkable six©day war, the godless (those who
live without God) newspapermen were wondering and asking: is the Bible being fulfilled? Many say they will believe if
they see.
The foolish won't believe even if they see.
The Forming of Ten Nations League Here... (correction 1990: The last beast nation in the seventh chapter of Daniel could fit the USSR and its sequel, but the toes of the history of images in Daniel 2 actually fit in with the equivalent of the EU. Problems? The beast Gog will even destroy Rome (at least the religios one, Rev 17); is the beast the stone that Jesus cast? - Is Antichrist M. Gorbatshev?)
Errors Concerning the Return of Jesus
In this booklet I haven't introduced the latest books dealing
with the end of the world. Although the knowledge has increased,
it has also meandered farther away from the truth. But also the
old traditions of men make sure that the truth won't come out.
Here I'll just tackle the worst and most general errors dealing
with the rapture of the believers.
1. Jesus won't come back at all
The scoffers will be making writings come true by saying that
Jesus won't come, 2 Pt 3:4.
2. One day can correspond to whatsoever
It can't be a secret for us what "With the Lord one day is like
a thousand years" means, 2Pt 3:8. There is no need to write to
us about times and dates for we know them very well (1Th 5:1-2).
God has a seven©day or seven©millenium plan: e.g. 4000 B.C. the
Deluge; 2000 B.C. Jacob, i.e. Israel, was born;
Jesus became
flesh at the right time; and 2000 A.D. is about 1998.
(Maybe in October 2000)
Because
the seventh day is exactly the same as a thousand years (Rev
20:2), the other days are as well.
3. Jesus only comes a visible way
Jesus himself will first come down from heaven, and his own will
be caught up in the clouds to meet him in the air, 1Th 4:17; so
Jesus will save them from the coming time of wrath, 1Th 5:9; the
body will be chanced, in a flash, into a resurrection body, 1Cor 15:51; and the wise will leave, Mt 25.
4. It is not for us to study and know
It wasn't for the first disciples to preach about the return of
Jesus. Many do study it and knowledge will be increased,
Dan 12:4. K.O.Syväntö: "many travel to and fro and knowledge
will increase". Veijonen: "When you "travel" a BOOK, to study is
not a translation error! The seals will be opened.
5. That time is a secret
It shouldn't be hidden from us (1Th 5:2) or in other words: the
time is known. The sound of the last trumpet, 1Cor: 15:52; the
midnight strike of the bell of time, Mt 25:6, when the
understanding wise will cry out the midnight shout: Behold, the
bridegroom is coming, go out to meet Him. Then the foolish will
say: there is peace and safety, 1Th 5:3. Someone is made to say:now it is the time. The hour is known more or less in the
same way as the time of the Flood was known in the days of Noah, Mt 24:37, etc.
6. The rapture will take place after the Gospel has been preached
as a testimony to all nations.
The Gentile Christians won't have
the time to complete their preaching before the Son of Man comes
on the clouds, Mt 10:23, the believers disappear when the
hardening the Jews ends, Rom 11:25. The Messianic Jews bear the
main responsibility for preaching the Gospel in the time
of
wrath.
7. Jesus can come today, or in any day
To every thing there is a season, Eccl 3:1. Any day ©doctrine is
contrary to the truth. The death won't come any time,
either,
but it can come as a surprise. Therefore be watchful!
8. The surprise theory, Jesus will come as a surprise
The end of the age will come like a thief, as a surprise, 2Pet
3:10. Jesus won't come as a surprise to his own, 1Th 5:4.
The
time of wrath will come as a thief in the night, 1Th 5:2, at
midnight 12pm, Mt 24, when the foolish say it is peace now,
1Th 5:3.
9. The rapture will be realized in the middle of the seven years
It won't. (a SPECIFYING correction 1994: the length of the
wedding of the Lamb is 1335 days, Dan 12:9©12.
The rapture will
take place about 45 days (1335©1290=45) before the real
influence of the Antichrist begins for three and
half years).
10. The number of the days of the time of wrath will be
cut down because the days are shortened
The time will be the given number of days even though the days
are shortened, Mt 24:22, by a third, Rev 8:12, to be
16©hour
days by speeding up the rotation round the axle when the earth
is falling, Isa 24:20, for examle to the orbit it
had before the
Deluge. The mountains will collapse, Rev 16:20, contrasting
reactions to the Flood will take place like
falling of huge
hailstones, Rev 16:21.
11. The church will hold back the Antichrist
It is argued that the Antichrist won't be able to appear as long
as the believers are in the world. But there are
believers here
also during the Antichrist, especially the martyrs©to©be. The
opposite of impenitency and God himself is
keeping the
Antichrist from not coming, 2Th 2:3©9. (Prophecy 1994: The
climax of impenitency will be the negotiations about
splitting
Jerusalem; the initiation of the peace talks will begin the
return of Gog, the Antichrist will come back, and
appears to
ratify the peace).
12. Nobody can be sure when exactly the believers disappear
This argument is here to show that people don't have the
simplest sense of logic anymore. If an argument by adapted to
itself declares itself invalid, then the argument is a lie.
Nobody can be sure that no©one is sure. It doesn't yet prove
that somebody can be sure, but why would an unsure person
take
unnecessary risks, that is uncertain. Be wise now!
Who knows when the believers disappear?
"Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will never pass
away.
No©one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels
in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father", Mt 24:35©36.
About
the day when the present heaven and earth disappear doesn't know
anyone else but only the Father.
That is stated in the Bible
really clearly. But the question is not about the visible return
of Jesus or His coming to meet
his own in the clouds!
In the 24th chapter of the Gospel according to Matthew the
disciples ask Jesus three different things.
1) When will Jerusalem be destroyed,
2) What is the sign of the end of the
age,
3) What is the sign of your return (Mt 24:3).
Jesus answers
all these questions.
1) Jerusalem was wiped away in 70 A.D. Already Daniel prophesied
more than 500 years before Jesus' time that Christ will
be
killed and Jerusalem will be destroyed by the attacking prince
of Rome (Dan 9:26) and the Jews themselves will have to
go into
exile. If this still leaves someone to preach how Titus met his
end in a flood, that person ought to acquaint
himself with the
booklet 'On the translation errors in the Old Testament' by K.O.
Syväntö.
2) The sign of the end of the age is that God's Word is
fulfilled nearly till the end. "My words will never pass away".
The kingdom of the thousand years has ended and Satan has been released for a little while (Rev 20:2).
The length of this while
is not declared and thus we now don't know the date of the end
of the world, and it is not
probable that it can ever be known
exactly, by year, not even when it is at hand, sometime after
the year 3000.
"Heaven and earth will pass away", but that day
no©one knows, except "the Father alone" (Mt 24:35©36). Because
we don't
know it, the day of the Lord when the material elements
will be dissolved with fire and the earth and the works that
are
upon it will be burned up (2Pet 3:11) will come as a thief. A
thief without the time definition "in the night", not
telling
when, as a surprise.
3) the sign of the coming of Jesus: First of all the coming has
many stages. a) He will first come and meet his own in
the
clouds, catching them together with the dead in Christ in a
resurrection body up in the air (1Th 4:16©17). b) the
Lord will
come to the Mount of Olives with his own, Zech 14:4, as visible
as a lightning to the whole world
(Mt 24:27 etc.).
-
2007 Sebtember ?! - they say "Peace and safety" (in Jerusalem too, Daniel 9:27) then sudden destruction will come upon them like the birthpangs of a pregnant women, 1 Thess 5:3. But we for the obtaining of salvation throught our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Thess 5:9. We will be caught up along in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, 1 Thess 4:17.
MARANATHA!
