Nažalost, mnogi od nas će umrijeti prije nego što dosegnemo tružu 7. Ipak, ako dođemo tako daleko, trula 7 je prekretnica. Tada pada Babilon, a Yahwehova vlada je osnovana. Iako su presude o kupu i Armagedonu još uvijek pred nama, od ovog trenutka naprema, Jahve kraljevstvo na zemlji će rasti.
U posljednjem poglavlju vidjeli smo kako su Yahwehova dva svjedoka pokušala navući ljude da se pokaju tijekom druge polovice nevolje (vrijeme Jakovljeve nevolje). Ipak, umjesto da se pokaju, ljudi na zemlji su ubiliYahwehova dva svjedoka i priredili veliku zabavu.
Hitgalut (Revelation) 11:10
10 And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
Jahve ne želi da itko pogiba (2. petar 3:9), ali kada ljudi ubiju njegova dva svjedoka, Jahveovo strpljenje i dugovječnost doći će kraju. Kada se oglasi sedmi glasnik, Babilon i njezino kraljevstvo će pasti, a Jahve kraljevstvo će biti proglašeno.
Hitgalut (Revelation) 11:15-19
15 Then the seventh messenger sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of Yahweh and of His Messiah, and He shall reign forever and ever!”
16 And the twenty-four elders who sat before Elohim on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped Elohim,
17 saying: “We give You thanks, O Yahweh Elohim Almighty, The One who is and who was and who is to come, Because You have taken Your great power and reigned.
18 The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth.”
19 Then the temple of Elohim was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.
Jahve kraljevstvo je u dva dijela. Jedan aspekt je duhovni, dok je drugi doslovan. Kada prihvatimo Yeshu i primimo Njegov Duh, pridružujemo se Njegovom duhovnom kraljevstvu. Na to se Yochanan HaMatbil (Ivan Krstitelj) pozvao kada je rekao da je kraljevstvo Elohim pri ruci (tj. ponuđeno).
Marqaus (Mark) 1:14-15
14 Now after Yochanan was put in prison, Yeshua came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of Elohim,
15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of Elohim is at hand. Repent, and believe in the good news.”
Yeshua nam govori da ovaj duhovni aspekt njegovog kraljevstva ne dolazi s promatranjem (odnosno, ne vidi se očima); nego, njegovo duhovno kraljevstvo leži u nama.
Luqa (Luke) 17:20-21
20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of Elohim would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of Elohim does not come with observation;
21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of Elohim is within you.”
Ipak, doći će i vrijeme kada će oni koji pripadaju Yeshuino duhovno kraljevstvo ponovno formirati doslovno kraljevstvo (kao u vrijeme kraljeva Davida i Hezekiaha). Yeshua nam kaže da se molimo za ovo.
Matityahu (Matthew) 6:10
10 “Your kingdom come, Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.”
U Nazarecan ski Izrael vidjeli smo da postoje dva pod-kraljevstva unutar Izraela. Južno kraljevstvo se zove Juda, a sjeverno kraljevstvo se zove Ephraim (Izrael). Asirci su osvojili sjeverno kraljevstvo Ephraim oko 722. Rimljani su dominirali južnim kraljevstvom Jude. Proroci nam kažu da će dvije kuće ponovno biti uspostavljene kao doslovno kraljevstvo i da će vladati i vladati. Zbog toga su apostoli pitali Yeshuu planira li u to vrijeme vratiti kraljevstvo Izraelu (odnosno, Judi i Ephraimu).
Ma’asei (Acts) 1:6-8
6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Adon, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.
8 But you shall receive power when the Set-apart Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Yeshua je rekao svojim apostolima da se ne brinu o vremenu obnove fizičkog kraljevstva, već da jednostavno svjedoče o Njemu. To je dobar savjet i za nas, a Otkrivenje izjavljuje da će Yeshua kraljevstvo biti postavljeno na trubi 7.
Hitgalut (Revelation) 11:15
15 Then the seventh messenger sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of Yahweh and of His Messiah, and He shall reign forever and ever!”
Za to vrijeme doći će do velikih društvenih previranja, jer sve babilonske institucije i vlade padaju i zamjenjuju ih Yahwehove institucije. Ovo je zemljotres iz Otkrivenja 11:19.
Hitgalut (Revelation) 11:19
19 Then the temple of Elohim was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.
To je također kada će nebeski sud Daniela 7:26 sjesti, oduzeti Sotoninu vlast i dati je svecima Svete.
Daniel 7:24-27
24 “The ten horns are ten kings who shall arise from this kingdom. And another shall rise after them; He shall be different from the first ones, and shall subdue three kings.
25 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time.
26 But the court shall be seated, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it forever.
27 Then the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him.”
To je također kada daniel 2:44-45 će biti ispunjen.
Daniel 2:44-45
44 “And in the days of these kings the Elohim of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.
45 Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold — the great Elohim has made known to the king what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure.”
To je također kada Yeshua sveci počinju vladati i vladati zemljom istom željeznom šipkom koju je Yeshua primio od svog Oca (u Psalmu 2).
Hitgalut (Revelation) 2:26-27
26 “And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations —
27 He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels — as I also have received from My Father….”
Baš kao što je pečat 7 uveo trube, trubu 7 dovodi do presuda za šalicu (kazne) na Babilonu. Oni će se izliti u brzom slijedu (a možda i za samo 30 dana). Uništenje u zemlji Izraelu za to vrijeme je gotovo potpuno. Iako će ljudi misliti da se spašavaju od Jahvinog gnjeva ubijajući njegova dva svjedoka, oni će sami sebi donijeti iznenadno uništenje – i neće pobjeći.
Thessaloniqim Aleph (1 Thessalonians) 5:1-3
1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.
2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of Yahweh so comes as a thief in the night.
3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.
