The Grand Antichrist Deception

This post will examine the restoration promises made by Elohim through His prophets that are recorded in the Old Testament, the time period the prophesies were made, and finally when they were fulfilled.

The Restoration Promises To Israel

Important in understanding the restoration prophesies found in the Old Testament, is their dating as regard to when they were written and also the circumstances that existed when they were written.

There are many who teach and believe that the prophecies concerning restoration that are written in the Old Testament are being fulfilled now or are yet to be fulfilled. But, is this true?

Below is a list of Bible Books that contain restoration promises God made and when they were written:

The Book Of Deuteronomy written between 15th and 7th centuries B.C.E.

The Book of Psalms written between the 10th and 9th centuries B.C.E.

The Book of Isaiah written 740-701 B.C.E.

The Book of Lamentations written 587-575 B.C.E.

The Book of Ezekiel written 593-573 B.C.E.

The Book of Jeremiah written 630-580 B.C.E.

The book of Amos written 788-743 B.C.E.

Please note the time periods in which these Books were written. The dates are very important in understanding the fulfillment of the restoration promises.

The prophetic writings in these Books detail two things:

(1) God promises that He would both free the Israelites from captive bondage and

(2) that He would restore the land of Israel.

These two events are the basis for the restoration promises mentioned in all of the Bible Books that were listed above.

At that time, the Israelites were CURRENTLY in captivity in Babylon or in exile. They indeed lamented the state they were in.

A brief historical review

The Israelites were taken into bondage by the gentile King Nebuchadnezzar. The bondage officially began when faithful king Josiah’s unfaithful son Jehoiakim was dethroned and taken into captivity around 606 B.C.E. This began the 70 year long captivity God had promised due to the nations transgressions.

The captivity ended precisely 70 years after in 537 B.C.E, when the Persian king Cyrus overthrew the Babylonian Empire in a daring night raid.

The foretold 70 years of desolation began at the destruction of Jerusalem in 587 B.C.E. The desolation was then set to end according to prophecy approximately in the year 517 B.C.E. The Temple rebuild was completed in about that year and God lifted His curse from the land.

It is clear that God fulfilled the promises he made to restore the nation of Israel when he brought the Israelites out of Babylonian bondage in 537 B.C.E. and when He restored the land to productivity in 517 B.C.E.

There was no need at that point for a restoration hope because they were living in their own homeland.

Approximately 587 years later in 70 C.E. due to the nations apostasy, Elohim allowed the Romans to destroy Jerusalem and the Israelites were dispersed from Palestine.

There is no biblical prophecy about restoration from this diaspora. Therefore, there is no commitment from Elohim to a future restoration of a physical Jewish nation despite the teaching by many that the Bible promises one.

Certainly, Jewish historians are aware of the timing of the writing of these biblical Books and at what time their writers lived. But, it is useful for Zionist among Jews not to reveal the truth of matters because their largest support is among biblically uneducated so-called ‘Christian Zionist supporters around the world.

They support a kingdom in opposition to the Heavenly kingdom of God with Christ as Lord. Zionist deny that Yeshua is the Messiah.

1 John 2:22

“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son”.

It is an antichrist ambition built on deception.
