The Third Temple, WWIII, and the antichrist

The Third Temple, WWIII, and the antichrist
by William Frederick; M. Div.

I received the following comment the other day from a reader of my book The Coming Epiphany in which he poses a question. I have been asked this question before and thought it might be helpful to comment on it--for you may have the same question.

I downloaded your book on Monday and could not put it down. As I am a slow reader, I finished it last night (Tuesday). First let me thank you for writing such a comprehensive and completely informative breakdown of the coming events based completely on biblical scriptures/prophesies.

My only question is how can the antichrist go into an inner sanctuary, and proclaim himself as being God, when it doesn't exist "yet"? Even if Israel is forced to attack Iran, this November, and the retaliation were to destroy the dome of the rock, it would take Israel years to actually construct the new temple of God for the antichrist to defile. If that is the case, how can 2016 the sixth seal?

Your clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Chuck

I see 3 possibilities for the Temple. Realize they already have the furniture built and have been training "priests" for temple duties.

1. They will put up a temporary tabernacle, like Israel used before the Temple was built.

2. They have already built a pre fab temple and will put it up quickly—remember it does not have to be exactly like the old ones.

3. I read an article a while back, that I cannot find now, but it put forth the theory that they have already built the Temple underground, and after WWIII and the Dome of the Rock is destroyed the ac will “miracously” make the Temple appear.

Out of all of those possibilities I think #1 is most likely, #3 is far fetched.

After I wrote the above I ran across an article about the third Temple. Here is what stood out. Note: This quote is from an anti Jewish website, I do not endorse his views--for info only.

At the beginning of October 2012, a threshold was crossed... Over half the Jews want to pray in the Temple Mount; several Jewish organizations announced in parallel that everything is ready. This includes a fast deployable altar and the garments of the “HaCohen HaGadol” ("The High Priest”). Israel just got one step closer to the Third Temple; the world got one step closer to World War III. http://www.roitov.com/articles/hyena.htm

His information would support possibility #1 above--It looks like they are ready to go. All they need now is a red heifer. And guess what, they claim that they have one of those too; A Red Heifer is Alive and Well in Israel. So it looks like all of the prerequisites for the seals to be unlocked and the antichrist to come onto the scene are in place.

They are ready, are you? I do not want you to be caught off guard at what is about to transpire in the world. Download a copy of The Coming Epiphany which will provide you with an easy to understand explanation of the end times, and help you to prepare for what is coming.

Looking Up for Nibiru and Jesus Too

Looking Up for Nibiru and Jesus Too

by William Frederick, M.Div.

What do you think of when you hear the word Nibiru or one of its other names like; Planet X, Wormwood, Hercolubus, Nemesis, Tyche, Marduk, Great Red Dragon, Black Sun, Destroyer, Doom shape, Dark Star, Dark Companion, Dark Twin? Some think farce, some think pole shift and hiding underground, I think rapture.

There has been a lot of chatter going on about Nibiru lately. In fact there were a slew of predictions regarding Nibiru for the summer of 2012, and there are some for the Fall of 2012 too. Many believe that Nibiru is getting very close and some have put forth various time lines for its appearance and effects.

I am not an astronomer so it is hard to know what to believe about Nibiru, there is also a lot of false information out there—some I think deliberate. So what are we to believe, is it real and is it coming soon, or is it a farce? If you consider what is suppose to occur at a Nibiru passage—sun darkened, pole shift, worldwide earthquake, etc—and look at scripture to see if any event in scripture would match an event like that, I look to the Sixth Seal.

12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Revelation 6

Worldwide earthquake, sun darkened, moon to blood, stars falling, sky rolling up like a scroll, all mountains and islands moved, sounds like a Nibiru event to me. Out of all the events in the end times the Sixth Seal is the event that most closely aligns with what Nibiru is suppose to do.

Also notice in the passage that after the Sixth Seal is opened is when Jesus appears for all the world to see, and men hide from Jesus and God’s wrath. When does Jesus appear for all the world to see? At the rapture, this is when He rescues His children from the Great Tribulation. So scripture leads me to believe that there will be a Nibiru event and the rapture will coincide with it.

So when do I believe Nibiru will get here? That is an easy question to answer; after the Sixth Seal is opened which is followed by Jesus appearing in the sky for all the world to see at the rapture.

It says in the Revelation passage above that because of fear people will hide underground at the Sixth Seal, or if you will, will hide because of the arrival of Nibiru. In fact many are building underground facilities for just such a time. I am not in the least bit afraid of the arrival of Nibiru, in fact I think that if I am still alive at the time that I will go outside and keep my eyes on the sky and watch for its arrival because I know just after the sun is darkened and the moon is turned to blood from the arrival of Nibiru is when Jesus will appear and take me home. So not only will I be looking up for Nibiru, but more importantly I will be looking up for the great God and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ—its redemption time!

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Luke 21:28

Do you want to escape the wrath of God that is coming upon the world? Read about God’s Gift of Salvation and be saved today and you will be rescued from the wrath to come.

Red Lines for the USA

Updated 9/26

 

Israel wants the USA to give Iran a "red line" in regards to its nuclear ambitions. So far the United States has refused. If you have not read it already, Daniel at Prayers for the People has a great post from a prophetic perspective about the whole situation entitled A Redline Once Spared a Harlot, that I recommend as a good read.

As I pondered and prayed about the situation I remembered many "red lines" that I have drawn in the past that I believe point out past and future judgments against the United States. The image above features one such "red line" that I believe the United States needs to pay heed to. I originally drew this line in early 2012 after a dream I had regarding the destruction of an island paradise. I wrote about the dream in the post entitled Dreams of a Paradise Lost. Here is some of what I wrote.

On President’s Day, 2/20/2012, just after midnight I had what I believe to be a dream from God involving that picture. Here is how I remember it; a man came running into the room where the tropical island paradise wall mural is. He was an average build man, with medium to light complexion and a short beard. He looked scared to death; he had a look of stark terror and fear on his face and was in a panic, but did not or could not say anything. I think I called to him a couple of times loudly and asked; “what is wrong?” He did not answer. The next thing I saw was the wall mural of the tropical island but I could not see any of the scene, it had turned a smoky--cloudy black and gray similar to what is depicted below.

Later the same night I had another dream; I remember seeing a Google Earth picture of a city and I heard “check the distance from Oklahoma City.” My response was; “Why Oklahoma City, what does that have to do with anything?”...

In response to those dreams I drew a line from Oklahoma City 2012 NM long--which by default in my program just so happens to be red. The only tropical island that I could find that the line hit was St. Thomas. BTW; the mural  is a picture of Hawaii, but I checked the fauna and topography of St Thomas, and it does look like the mural in my dream. This may indicate that St Thomas and or one of the Virgin Islands in that vicinity is the island depicted in my dream. (Note a line 2012 NM to 2016 NM long will also hit St Thomas.)

I then began asking my self; why St Thomas, and why might a destruction occur? Might this future judgment be related to our treatment of Israel as some past judgments have been? At the time, I had recently heard about the largest earthquake in Oklahoma history--a 5.6 on 11/5/11 (interesting numbers). So I decided to draw a line from the earthquake location through the location of the burning Senator Tree--the line hits St. Thomas.

What is the significance of the burning Senator Tree? The burning Senator Tree, burned on 1/16/12, 38 days before my dream. I wrote about the burning Senator Tree in the post entitled Israel and the Burning Tree. As you can tell from the title I believe the burning Senator Tree had connections with Israel. Here are some of the amazing connections that I found.

A senator named Moses donated the land the tree was on and thus the tree was named after him. The age of the tree puts its birth at approx. 1488 B.C. This is very close to the time that Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt. Usher places the Exodus at 1445 B.C. So it is not outside the realm of possibility that this tree sprouted the same year as the Exodus. And let’s not forget about Moses’ encounter with a burning plant...

Ready for this; drawing a line from the tree to a spot of the Red Sea crossing as indicated below is 5772 Nautical miles. We are in the Hebrew year of 5772 now...

So on the exact day the tree broke, Germany—Israel’s arch enemy-- is strengthened. I am not a historian but I would imagine that this strengthening eventually led to the destruction of many Jews during WWII at the hands of the satanic psychopath Hitler. And how many Jews were killed by the Germans?...

So an iron fence was removed from around the tree the same year that the Jews were set free from prison...

So this second "red line" that I drew from the Oklahoma City earthquake through the location of the burning Senator Tree that has connections to Israel heads right to St Thomas.

What do these lines imply? I do not know for sure, but in light of both "red lines" hitting the same location--St. Thomas, and in light of what they are associated with, let me tell you what I believe the implications may be. The "red lines" may imply that if the USA does not give Iran a red line and stop Iran from developing a nuclear bomb, that my dream may be fulfilled--namely a devastating destruction of a US territory--St. Thomas. If this scenario does develop, which I hope it does not, will it make enough of a "noise" that others will listen to?

Also if the world does not give Iran "red lines" and stop them I believe that Israel may go it alone. In light of the implications of the burning Senator Tree I believe that if Israel attempts to stop Iran on it's own, that it will go very bad for Israel, and I am not the only one saying that, many others agree. If they decide to go it alone I see 2 possible scenarios.

1. Israel attacks Iran, Iran retaliates severely, nuclear bombs and WMD's are involved resulting in many casualties on both sides, the flow of oil is disrupted from the Middle East causing oil prices to rise putting extreme economic hardships upon the world. Also because of the conflict nuclear contamination is spread upon large portions of the world. These consequences bring great hatred and persecution against Jews and Christians who support them causing a migration of Jews back to Israel.

2. Israel attacks Iran which is the catalyst for WWIII (Seal 2) to break out, which then precipitates a world wide financial collapse (Seal3), which is then followed by biological agents being unleashed upon the world (Seal 4). These actions will result in 1/4 of the world's population being killed. These consequences bring great hatred and persecution against Jews and Christians who support them causing a migration of Jews back to Israel. 91 days after WWIII breaks out the antichrist will arise offering solutions to the world's problems. Shortly thereafter he will take over the world and begin persecuting Jews and Christians in earnest (Great Tribulation).

The two scenarios that I foresee are about the same except the one is a regional war, and the other initiates WWIII and ushers in the antichrist. Both are bad for Israel and the world. I hope that none of this transpires, and of course I could be wrong, and of course God can intervene and bring about different outcomes, but that is how I logically and scripturally see it now with the information that I have at present.

What do I think is the solution to the problem? For the world to stop Iran's nuclear ambitions as peacefully as possible so Israel does not have to "go it alone." Will this happen? I doubt it. Why? Because I believe the devil wants to use this crisis for his purposes--to decimate Israel, and wreak havoc upon the world so that he can eventually take it over. The devil will eventually lead the whole world into a trap--an end times guetapens that Jesus spoke about in Luke 21.

10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: 11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven....

20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto...

24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. 25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory...

34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Will the world and the USA give Iran a red line? Will a "red line" of judgment fall upon the USA if we do not? Will Israel go it alone? Will great destruction come upon Israel and the world if they do? Will this situation develop into the end times guetapens Jesus spoke of? Time will tell; so "watch ye therefore, and pray always."

Update 9/26: Not predicting anything but there have been 166 earthquakes in the Virgin Islands area in the last 4 days, 201 in the last 7 days. (HT Brad)

The New Madrid Fault and Netanyahu

Updated 9/12

Today, 9/11/12, President Obama did not have enough time in his schedule to meet with Netanyahu regarding Iran. http://www.debka.com/article/22350/By-refusing-to-see-Netanyahu-Obama-sharpens-his-Iran-dilemma  Just by coincidence today there were 2 small earthquakes near the town of New Madrid, MO--ring a bell?--a 1.9 and a 1.1--interesting numbers. In fact there have been 5 small earthquakes within 20 miles of New Madrid in the last 4 days. I wonder how much time our country has left.

Update 9/12: It is up to 7 small quakes within 20 NM of New Madrid and 8 along the fault. Not predicting anything, but many feel that it will be our betrayal of Israel that will set off the big one.

The Capital of Israel is ____________

Updated 9/10

Interesting transcript from the state department regarding the capital of Israel (HT to Brad).

QUESTION: On Israel?

MR. VENTRELL: Yeah.

QUESTION: Which city does the U.S. Government recognize as the capital in the – Israel?

MR. VENTRELL: Well, as you know, longstanding Administration policy, both in this Administration and in previous administrations across both parties, is that the status of Jerusalem is an issue that should be resolved in final status negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians. So that’s longstanding Administration policy and continues to be so.

QUESTION: I mean, no city is recognized as a capital by the U.S. Government?

MR. VENTRELL: Again, I just stated our position, and it’s one we’ve said here many times before.

QUESTION: That means Jerusalem is not a part of Israel?

MR. VENTRELL: What it means is that the status of Jerusalem must be resolved in final status negotiations.

QUESTION: But you do have an Embassy in a city which is not Jerusalem.

MR. VENTRELL: Our Embassy is in Tel Aviv, and we have a Consulate General in Jerusalem.

QUESTION: Right. But I mean, if you have an Embassy, usually it’s in the capital; so therefore, it would appear that you believe that Tel Aviv is the capital.

MR. VENTRELL: What we believe is that the status of Jerusalem should be determined in final status negotiations between the two parties. And currently, our Embassy is in Tel Aviv.

QUESTION: Are there any other countries in the world where the U.S. doesn’t know what the capital is or won’t say what the capital of a country is?

QUESTION: What does the U.S. think the capital of Israel is? What do you --

MR. VENTRELL: As I’ve just said, we believe that the status of Jerusalem is an issue that should be resolved in final status --

QUESTION: I’m not asking you that question. I’m asking you what you think the capital is.

MR. VENTRELL: And my response is that Jerusalem is an issue that should be resolved in final status negotiations.

QUESTION: She didn’t ask about Jerusalem, though.

MR. VENTRELL: Look, this is something we’ve been through at this podium. Toria has been through it before. We’ve repeated it many times. You know what the position is. It hasn’t changed for decades.

QUESTION: Wait, I know that. And I don’t want to play the verbal game, I’m just very curious if you actually have a position about a capital of that country. And if you don’t, if – I just would like to hear you say you don’t.

MR. VENTRELL: Well, right now, Nicole --

QUESTION: Yes.

MR. VENTRELL: -- the situation is that we have an Embassy in Tel Aviv that represents our interests with the Government of Israel but that the issue of Jerusalem is one that has to be resolved between the two parties. That’s all I can say on this.

Anything else? Thank you

Within minutes of reading the transcript I randomly opened my Bible for nightly devotions to Isaiah 66.

66 Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.

4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.

5 Hear the word of the Lord, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.

6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the Lord that rendereth recompence to his enemies.

7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.

8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the Lord: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.

10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:

I will fill in the blank; The capital of Israel is Jerusalem, and one day after Jesus comes back to rule and reign on the earth the capital of the world will be Jerusalem.

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Rev 22:20

Update 9/10: Two days later I randomly turned to this passage and felt it was God directed.

Zechariah 8 

1 Again the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying,

2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.

3 Thus saith the Lord; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the Lord of hosts the holy mountain.

4 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.

5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.

6 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the Lord of hosts.

7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;

8 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.

9 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.

10 For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour.

11 But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the Lord of hosts.

12 For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.

13 And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.

14 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the Lord of hosts, and I repented not:

15 So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.

16 These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:

17 And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the Lord.

18 And the word of the Lord of hosts came unto me, saying,

19 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.

20 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:

21 And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts: I will go also.

22 Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord.

23 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
