Behold, the day of Jehovah comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it.<\/em><\/p>\n

Isaiah 13:9<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

This study concerns the program of the Tribulation as it relates to God\u2019s program for the Jewish people. It will be introduced by quoting Deuteronomy 32:8\u20139<\/a>: When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, When he sepa<\/em>rated the children of men, He set the bounds of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel. For Jehovah\u2019s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.<\/em><\/p>\n

God has an overall prophetic program that is often subdivided into three distinct plans: first, God\u2019s plan for the Church; secondly, His plan for the Gentile nations; and thirdly, His plan for the nation of Israel. But regardless of whether one speaks of God\u2019s plan for Israel, the Church, or the Gentile nations, all three center around the Jewish people. Moses writes that this is true to the extent that when God in His providence laid out what would become the boundaries of various nations, He somehow reckoned into that accounting the number of Jews who would play a role in that nation\u2019s history. This means that when God mapped out what would become the borders of the United States of America, He somehow reckoned into His accounting the number of Jews who would play a part in American history: For Jehova<\/em>h\u2019s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.<\/em><\/p>\n

In verse 8<\/a>, God is referred to as the Most High. According to Genesis 14<\/a>, whenever God is referred to as the Most High, He is emphasized as the possessor of the heavens and the earth. Since He is the possessor of this earth, He can subdivide this earth and give whatever portions He desires to whatever nations He chooses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

When God bega<\/span>n His division of the earth and decided to give this part of the earth to this nation or that part of the earth to another nation, He reckoned into His entire providence the role that the Jewish peopl<\/span>e would play in each particular nation\u2019s destiny, history, or prophecy. So, once again, when God determined the borders of the United States of America, He determined them on the basis of the number of Jews who w<\/span>ould play a role in American history.<\/p>\n

While it is very, very true that the Tribulation will fall upon the whole earth in general, nevertheless, God\u2019s program for the Tribulation has a uniq<\/span>ue and special relevance to His program concerning the Jewish people.<\/p>\n

The basic outline for this topic is divided into four specific areas: first, the Jews and the purpose of the Tribulation; secondly<\/span>, the Jews and the beginning of the Tribulation; thirdly, the Jews during the Tribulation; and fourthly, the Jews and the end of the Tribulation. While the first three areas are dealt with in this study, the fourth area is dealt with in a separate study, \u201cThe Campaign of Armageddon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/span><\/span>I. The Jews and the Purpose of the Tribulation<\/p>\n

From the many passages of Scripture that deal with the Tribulation, it can be deduced that God has three main purposes in bringing about the Tribulation.<\/span> The first purpose applies equally to both the Jews and Gentiles. However, the second and third purposes of the Tribulation have a direct bearing on God\u2019s program for the Jewish people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

A. To Make an End of Wickedness and Wicked Ones<\/p>\n

The first purpose of the Tribulation is found in two key passages: Isaiah 13:9<\/a> and 24:19\u201320<\/a>. First, Isaiah 13:9<\/a> states: Behold, the day of Jehovah comes<\/em>, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n
\n

This verse uses the term the day of Jehovah<\/em> as a reference to the Great Tribulation and gives its goal in the phrase, to destroy the sinners thereof out of it<\/em>. The purpose, then, is to destroy wicked ones out of the Land.<\/p>\n

This is further described in Isaiah 24:19\u201320<\/a>: The earth is utte<\/em>rly broken, the earth is rent asunder, the earth is shaken violently. The earth shall stagger like a drunken man, and shall sway to and fro like a hammock; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it, and it <\/em>shall fall, and not rise again.<\/em><\/p>\n

The closing words of this passage state that the basic reason for the judgments of the Tribulation is that worldwide transgression<\/em> will fall, and not rise again. Its purpose is to make an end of wickedness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

B. To Cause a Great Worldwide Revival<\/p>\n

The second purpose of the Tribulation is to bring about a worldwide revival. In Matthew 24:14<\/a>, Yeshua (Jesus) said that the gospel of the kingdom<\/em> will be proclaimed to all nations<\/em> before the end comes. Some time before the Tribulation ends, some time before the Second Coming occurs, there must be the worldwide preaching of the gospel to that one generation.<\/p>\n

Revelation 7<\/a> is an exposition of Matthew 24:14<\/a> and can be divided into two sections. Verses 1\u20138<\/a> describe the means of this revival, whereas verses 9\u201317<\/a> give us the results of this revival.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

1. The Means of the Worldwide Revival\u2014Revelation 7:1\u20138<\/a><\/p>\n

After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that no wind should blow on the earth, or on the sea, or upon any tree. And I saw another angel ascend from the sunrising, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a great voice to the four angels to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we shall have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads. And I heard the number of them that were sealed, a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel: Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.<\/p>\n

The beginning words, After this<\/em>, are not chronological in this case, but merely the next vision John sees. In verses 1\u20133<\/a>, the four angels that are commissioned to bring judgment on the earth are commanded to hold off their destruction until a specific number of servants are sealed. Sealing is done for two reasons: service and protection. Both reasons apply here. These are the ones who will proclaim the message of the gospel in the Tribulation. The mention of the four winds<\/em> shows that these 144,000 Jewish evangelists will come from all parts of the world, not only from Israel.<\/p>\n

In verses 4\u20138<\/a>, the identification of those who are sealed is clearly specified as 144,000 Jews. To make it even more clear, twelve tribes are listed with the statement that 12,000 are chosen from each tribe. By means of these 144,000 Jewish evangelists, God will bring about the worldwide revival and accomplish another goal of the Tribulation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Looking at all this purely from a human perspective, if one wanted to <\/span>conduct a worldwide revival in a very short period of time, for this revival will occur during the first 3\u00bd years of the Tribulation, one could not think of a better group of people to use than the Jewish people. However, coming from a Jewish believer in Jesus, that may<\/span> not sound very objective, so the following are some objective reasons why this would certainly be true.<\/p>\n

If one looks at the world<\/span> missionary situation today, one of the things he will discover is that the vast majority of missionaries are Americans. If one begins interviewing these missionaries to find out how much time was spent in training before the<\/span>y were comfortably proclaiming the Word of God in a land that is not their own, he would discover that they had to train for three or four years at a Bible institute or Bible <\/span>college. If they became believers some time after college, they had to study three or four years at a seminary. While the Bible institute, college, or seminary graduate is trained to proclaim the Word in this nation or some other English speaking nation, he is not prepared to do so on a foreign field. The next two, three, maybe four years must be spent i<\/span>n language study. The average American missionary on the foreign field must spend approximately six years in training before he is proclaiming the Word in a language not his own. This worldwide revival by the preaching of the gospel will occur in only 3\u00bd years and there is just not that much time for training. One distinct advantage of using Jewish people is that Jews are dispersed all over the world. Every one of the world\u2019s major languages, and a great number of the world\u2019s minor languages, are spoken by some Jews somewhere. Except for American Jew<\/span>ry, most Jews are at least bilingual. The author is bilingual, and the author\u2019s parents are multi lingual, speaking five languages each.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Another advantage of using Jewish evangelists is that, with a large segment of American Jewry being the exception, most Jews receive a good, basic unde<\/span>rstanding of the Old Testament text. They have a greater or lesser degree of knowledge of the Old Testament Scriptures, depending on their background.<\/p>\n

Hence, at some time after God Raptures the Church<\/span>, He will then save 144,000 Jews from the Twelve Tribes, from around the world. These Jews will already speak the languages needed. They will already have a basic knowledge of the Old Testament text. They will need only a short period of time to gai<\/span>n some New Testament knowledge. So, they could then begin proclaiming the gospel in a very short period of time.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

During the first half of the Tribulati<\/span>on, God will evangelize the world by means of 144,000 Jews and thus fulfill the prophecy found in Matthew 24:14<\/a>: And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony unt<\/em><\/span>o all the nations; and then shall the end come.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

2. The Results of the Worldwide Revival\u2014Revelation 7:9\u201317<\/a><\/p>\n

After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands; and they cry with a great voice, saying; Salvation unto our God who sits in the throne, and unto the Lamb. And all the angels were standing round about the throne, and about the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, These that are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and whence came they? And I say unto him, My lord, you know. And he said to me, These are they that come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God; and they serve him day and might in his temple: and he that sits on the throne shall spread his tabernacle over them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun strike upon them, not any heat: for the Lamb that is in the middle of the throne shall be their shepherd, and shall guide them unto fountains of waters of life: and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.<\/p>\n

Following the vision of the 144,000 Jews, the next thing John saw was myriads and myriads of Gentiles, as well as other Jews, who have come to a saving knowledge of the Savior during the Tribulation. The connecting link is the phrase, After these things<\/em>, and it is chronological and shows a cause and effect relationship between the first and second parts of Revelation 7<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

C. To Break the Will of the Holy People<\/p>\n

The third purpose for the Tribulation is found in Daniel 12<\/a>. Beginning in chapter 11<\/a>, Daniel has been given a vision of what conditions will be like for his peo<\/span>ple, Israel, during the Tribulation. The vision of the Jews in the Tribulation continues into chapter 12<\/a> and terminates at verse 4<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then, in Daniel 12:5\u20137<\/a>, a question is raised as to exactly how long <\/span>these terrible conditions will be allowed to continue: Then I, Daniel, looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on the brink of the river on this side, and the other on the brink of the riv<\/em><\/span>er on that side. And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that lives for ever that it shall be for <\/em><\/span>a time, times, and a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The terrible judgments of the Tribulation must continue, Daniel is told, until the power of the will of the h<\/span>oly people is shattered to pieces, until they turn away from trying to establish their own righteousness and seek the righteousness of God through Jesus the Messiah. Basically, then, the third purpose can be restated as to bring about Israel\u2019s national regeneration.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Daniel 12<\/a> states the third purpose, Ezekiel 20:33\u201338<\/a> states exactly how this third purpose will be accomplished: As I live, say<\/em><\/span>s the Lord Jehovah, surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, will I be king over you. And I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries w<\/em><\/span>herein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out; and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face. Like as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you, says the Lord Jehovah. <\/em><\/span>And I will cau<\/em><\/span>se you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant; and I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me; I will bring them forth out of the land where t<\/em><\/span>hey sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.<\/em><\/p>\n

In this passage, Ezekiel draws a simile with the Exodus. At the Exodus under Moses, Go<\/span>d brought the entire nation of Israel out of the land of Egypt and into the wilderness of the Sinai Peninsula. God\u2019s plan and program for Israel in the Sinai was to accomplish two things: first, they were to receive the Law of Moses; and secondly, they were to build the Tabernacle thro<\/span>ugh which much of the Law could then be maintained. With these two things accomplished, they were to press on and enter into the Promised Land. However, because of a long series of rebellions and murmurings against God\u2019s revealed will, finally, in a place called Kadesh Barnea, right at the border of the Promised Land itself, God entered into judgment with His people. This divine judgment was that those who had come out of the land of Egypt would now have to continue wandering in th<\/span>e wilderness for forty years. During that forty year period, all those who came out of Egypt except for two men, Joshua and Caleb, and those under the age of twenty would die in the wilderness. Forty years later, it would be a new nation, a nation that was born as free men in the wilderness, not as slaves in Egypt, that would enter the Promised Land under Joshua.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Ezekiel says that a similar thing will occur in the future: Go<\/span>d will begin to regather His people from all parts of the world, a regathering that has been observed with the present, modern Jewish State of Israel. However, at some point God will again enter into judgment with His people. By means of the Tribulation judgment<\/span>s, the rebels will be purged out, and the unbelievers will be purged and regenerated. They will turn away from seeking to establish their own righteousness and will seek the righteousness of God through Yeshua the Messiah, and this will bring about their national regeneration. It will be a new nation, a regenerate nation, that will enter the Millennial Kingdom under King Messiah.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/span><\/span>II. The Jews and the Beginning of the Tribulation<\/p>\n

The second area of this study concerns the Jewish role at the beginning of the Tribulation. Two key passages bear this out: Daniel 9:24\u201327<\/a> and Isaiah <\/span>28:14\u201322<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

A. Daniel 9:24\u201327<\/a><\/p>\n

Verses 1\u201323<\/a> provide the introduction to the Seventy Sevens prophecy. The background is given in verses 1\u20132<\/a>, where Daniel states that he had been studying the Book of Jeremiah as well as some other prophets, such as Isaiah. Daniel knew from his study that the Babylonian Captivity was to be seventy years and that the seventy years were nearly up. Daniel also knew from his study that the prerequisite for setting up the Kingdom would be Israel\u2019s confession of her sins. Assuming that the Babylonian Captivity would be immediately followed by the Kingdom, Daniel prayed a prayer of confession for Israel\u2019s sins in verses 3\u201319<\/a>. In verses 20\u201323<\/a>, the angel Gabriel was sent to Daniel to reveal the timing of the program of God that would bring in the Kingdom. In a play upon words, he informed Daniel that it was not going to be seventy years, but seventy sevens of years before the Kingdom would be established.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Prophet Daniel is given his famous vision of the seventy weeks, or be<\/span>tter, the Seventy Sevens, the 490 years that God has decreed upon the Jewish people in verses 24\u201327<\/a>: Seventy weeks are decreed upon your people and upon your holy city, to finish transgression, and to<\/em><\/span> make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy. Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the anointed one<\/em><\/span>, the prince, shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: it shall be built again, with street and moat, even in troublous times. And after the threescore and two weeks shall the anointed one be cut off, and shall have nothing: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and even unto the end shall be war; desolations are determined. And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the <\/em><\/span>middle of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease; and upon the wing of abominations shall come one that makes desolate; and even unto the full end, and that determined, shall wrath be poured out upon the desolate.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If one studies verses 24\u201326<\/a> carefully, he will discover that by the end of verse 26<\/a>, the first 483 years of this 490 year period has been fulfilled in history, ter<\/span>minating at the First Coming of Jesus the Messiah. However, there are still seven years left of this prophetic time clock over Israel. These last seven years are often called \u201cThe Seventieth Week of Daniel.\u201d It is the same seven years as the seven years of the Great Tribulation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The question that must now be asked is: What, exactly, will start the Tribulation or what, exactly, will start these las<\/span>t seven years ticking away? The answer is found in Daniel 9:27<\/a>: And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the middle of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to<\/em><\/span> cease; and upon the wing of abominations shall come one that makes desolate; and even unto the full end, and that determined, shall wrath be poured out upon the desolate.<\/em><\/p>\n

Breaking down this verse giv<\/span>es the exact picture of what it is talking about. First, the opening line reads: And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week<\/em>. The pronoun he<\/em> in verse 27<\/a> refers back to its nearest anteced<\/span>ent, the prince that shall come<\/em>, found in verse 26<\/a>. In other words, the prince that shall come<\/em> in verse 26<\/a> and the he<\/em> who makes a covenant in verse 27<\/a> are one and the same person; a person better know<\/span>n today in evangelical circles as the Antichrist.<\/p>\n

The passage reads: And he<\/em>, the Antichrist, shall make a firm covenant with many for one week<\/em>, one seven. The beginning point of the last seven years o<\/span>r the start of the Tribulation is the signing of a Seven Year Covenant between Israel and the Antichrist. It cannot be stressed too strongly at this point that it will not be the Rapture of the Church that will begin the Tribulation. The Bible teaches, witho<\/span>ut any doubt, that the Rapture will occur some time before the Tribulation starts. While the Rapture will occur some time before the Tribulation, it does not begin the Tribulation. The Rapture may come just before the Tribulation starts, but it could also come ten, twenty, thirty years or more before the Tribulation starts. The Rapture could very well come today, but if it does, that does not mean the Tribulation will start tomorrow. The world stage is n<\/span>ot yet set for the Tribulation to begin. While the Rapture could occur at any time, the starting point of the Tribulation is only when a Seven-Year Covenant has been signed between Israel and the Antichrist.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There are four points in verse 27<\/a> that will be crucial to the understanding <\/span>of this study. First: he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week<\/em>. A covenant is made with many, but not with all. There will be a segment of the Jewish people who will refuse to have anythin<\/span>g to do with the covenant. The covenant is made with many<\/em>, which must include the leadership of Israel who have the power to sign covenants of this nature, but it will not be made with all.<\/p>\n

The second<\/span> point is: in the middle of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease<\/em>. Although the covenant is made to last for seven years, it will be broken at the halfway point. At the halfw<\/span>ay point, after 3\u00bd years, the covenant will be broken. This is the same point that is made in Revelation 11:1\u20132<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The third point is: upon the wing of abominations shall come one that makes desolate<\/em>. A<\/span>s a result of the breaking of the covenant and the cessation of the sacrificial system, desolations and abominations will fall upon the Jewish people. The word abominations<\/em> in Hebrew refers to \u201cimages<\/span>\u201d or \u201cidols,\u201d meaning that an image of the Antichrist will be set up in the Temple Compound. This is also spoken of in Daniel 12:11<\/a> and Matthew 24:5<\/a>. The image itself is spoken of in Revelation 13:14\u2013<\/span>15<\/a>. The one that makes desolate is the Antichrist, who will cause desolations to fall upon the Jewish people.<\/p>\n

And the fourth point is: even unto the full end, and that determined.<\/em> The phrase even unto<\/em><\/span> the full end<\/em> is a Hebrew word that means \u201cto finish\u201d or \u201cto complete.\u201d The word determined<\/em> means \u201cto be decreed beforehand,\u201d because the events spelled out in Daniel 9:27<\/a> were already prophesied and <\/span>decreed long before the Tribulation. This is seen in Isaiah 10:23<\/a> and 28:22<\/a>. Furthermore, the phrase also means that the Tribulation will not go a single day beyond its predeterimed duration. It will <\/span>end on the exact day. The same point is made in Matthew 24:22<\/a>. This does not mean that the Tribulation will last less that seven years; rather, it will not be allowed to last a single day beyond its a<\/span>llotted time of exactly seven years. The last phrase is: shall wrath be poured out upon the desolate<\/em>. The word translated desolate<\/em> can also be translated as \u201ca desolator.\u201d If taken to mean \u201cdesolate,\u201d<\/span> it refers to the Jewish people during the second half of the Tribulation, when wrath is poured out upon the desolate<\/em>. If it refers to \u201ca desolator,\u201d it refers to the Antichrist and to his destruction<\/span> at the Second Coming on the very last day of the seventieth seven.<\/p>\n

Again, the act that will begin the Tribulation is the signing of this Seven Year Covenant. This Seven Year Covenant is viewed by Dan<\/span>iel 9:27<\/a> from a human perspective. From man\u2019s perspective, it will be a Seven Year Covenant that will not last as long as it was intended to.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\n

B. Isaiah 28:14\u201322<\/a><\/p>\n

God\u2019s perspective of the covenant is viewed in these verses. God\u2019s viewpoint of the many who enter the covenant is given in verse 14<\/a>: Wherefore hear the word of Jehovah, ye scoffers<\/em>, that rule this people that is in Jerusalem.<\/em><\/p>\n

God calls the many<\/em>, the leadership of Israel, who enter the covenant, scoffers. He considers them mockers rather than serious leaders.<\/p>\n

Verse 15<\/a> gives the reason God considers them scoffers and provides His viewpoint of the covenant itself: Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol are we at agreement; when the overflowing<\/em> scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves.<\/em><\/p>\n

In vivid terms, it can be seen here why God calls the leaders scoffers. It is obvious that the leaders of Israel will go into this covenant in order to obtain some measure of security and to escape the overflowing scourge<\/em>. The figure of a flood, when used symbolically, is always a symbol of a military invasion. Hence, the leaders of Israel will believe that by entering the covenant, they will be free from any further military invasions. However, God declares that this is not a covenant of life, but a covenant with death.<\/em> It is not a covenant of Heaven, but a covenant of Hell. Rather than gaining security, they will receive a strong measure of insecurity. Also from verse 15<\/a>, the reason Israel enters into the covenant with the Antichrist is not because they accept him as the messiah. This is a common misconception among many believers. The Scriptures nowhere state that Israel will accept the Antichrist as the messiah. That will not be the case. Instead, they simply enter into a security agreement with the Antichrist. That is all the covenant means. It means, of course, that they will be trusting the Antichrist for their security, instead of God. But again, nowhere in Scripture does Israel accept the Antichrist as the messiah.<\/p>\n

The very same things seen in Daniel 9:27<\/a> will also be seen in this context. For instance, the non many who will refuse to have anything to do with the covenant are mentioned in verse 16<\/a>: therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah<\/em>, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone of sure foundation: he that believes shall not be in haste.<\/em><\/p>\n

There will be a segment of the Jewish people who will reject participation in the covenant. So again, the makers of the covenant, the many<\/em> or the majority, will also include the leadership of Israel, but there will be a minority of Jewish people who will reject having anything to do with the covenant whatsoever. They will not be in any hurry to enter into it nor to identify themselves with it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Then, in verses 17\u201322<\/a>, the same three results are foun<\/span>d as in Daniel 9:27<\/a>. First, in verses 17\u201318<\/a>, the covenant is broken, followed by the military invasions they hoped to escape: And I will make justice the line, and righteousness the plummet; and the h<\/em><\/span>ail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. And your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In verse 18<\/a>, as in Daniel 9:27<\/a>, the covenant will be broken at some point during the Tribulation, specifically, in the middle of t<\/span>he Tribulation, and it will be, as Isaiah says, annulled<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Secondly, desolations falling upon the Jewish people are described in verses 19\u201320<\/a>: As often as it passes through, it shall take you; for morn<\/em><\/span>ing by morning shall it pass through, by day and by night: and it shall be nought but terror to understand the message. For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it; and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Rather than having security, they will have insecurity; instead of being exempt from military invasions, they now become subject to military invasions.<\/span> In verse 20<\/a>, this insecurity is pictured as tremendous discomfiture and is illustrated in two ways. First, it is like a man trying to stretch himself out on a bed, but the bed is too short for him. S<\/span>econdly, it is like a man trying to wrap himself in a blanket to protect himself from the cold, but the blanket is too small to cover all of his body. In place of security, there is insecurity. In place of comfort, there is discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n

The third result is the wrath of God, emphasized in verses 21\u201322<\/a>: For Jehovah will rise up as in mount Perazim, he will be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon; that he<\/em><\/span> may do his work, his strange work, and bring to pass his act, his strange act. Now therefore be ye not scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for a decree of destruction have I heard from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, upon the whole earth.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The Old Testament gives many names for what is now called the Tribulation, and in verse 21<\/a>, there are two such names: Jehovah\u2019s strange work<\/em> and Jehovah\u2019s str<\/em><\/span>ange act<\/em>. It is given these two unusual names because of the closing words of verse 22<\/a>: for a decree of destruction have I heard from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, upon the whole earth.<\/em> When this covena<\/span>nt is signed on earth, in Heaven, God issues a decree of destruction \u2026 upon the whole earth.<\/em> This decree of destruction<\/em> is contained in that Seven Sealed Scroll of Revelation 5<\/a>. As each seal is broken<\/span>, there is massive destruction of the earth\u2019s surface and massive destruction of the earth\u2019s population. By the time the Tribulation has run its course, somewhere between two thirds to three fourths of the earth\u2019s surface is<\/span> destroyed and an equal percentage of the earth\u2019s population is destroyed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\n

So once again, the same point made in Daniel 9:27<\/a> is made by Isaiah. The event that begins the Tribul<\/span>ation is the signing of the Seven Year Covenant between the leaders of Israel and the Antichrist. Once the covenant is signed, the Tribulation begins and a decree of destruction is issued by God Himself.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/span><\/span>III. The Jews During the Tribulation<\/p>\n

The Old Testament prophets had a great deal to say on this area of this study. However, for the sake of space, we will cover only four key passages: Jeremiah 30:4\u2013<\/span>7<\/a>; Matthew 24:15\u201322<\/a>; Revelation 12:1\u201317<\/a>; and Zechariah 13:8\u20139<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/span><\/span>A. Jeremiah 30:4\u20137<\/a><\/p>\n

And these are the words that Jehovah spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah. For thus says Jehovah: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. Ask ye now, <\/em><\/span>and see whether a man does travail with child: wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob\u2019s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

While the Bible gives many names for the Great Tribulation, a name is given in this passage that directly<\/span> relates the Tribulation to the Jewish nation: the time of Jacob\u2019s trouble<\/em>. While it is true that all men will suffer during this time, the Jewish people will suffer more. According to Exodus 4:22<\/a>, th<\/span>e basic reason lies in Israel\u2019s relationship to God as God\u2019s first born, and therefore, Israel receives double, both in blessing and cursing. This is because of the principle stated in Isaiah 40:1\u20132<\/a> t<\/span>hat Israel receives double for all her sins<\/em>. The next three passages will clearly show to what extent they will suffer more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

B. Matthew 24:15\u201328<\/a><\/p>\n

When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that reads understand), then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains: let him that is on the housetop not go down to take out things that are in his house: and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak. But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on a sabbath: for then shall be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect\u2019s sake those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Here; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told you beforehand. If therefore they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the wilderness; go not forth: Behold, he is in the inner chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning comes forth from the east, and is seen even unto the west; so shall be the coming of the Son of man. Wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Concerning the events of the second half of the Tribulation, eight things are mentioned by the Messiah in this passage. First, He dealt with the specific event in verse 15<\/a> that will mark the beginni<\/span>ng of the second half of the Tribulation. Jesus gives a warning sign to those Jews living during the middle of the Tribulation: when they see the abomination of desolation<\/em> \u2026 standing in the holy place<\/em><\/span>. The Abomination of Desolation will involve two stages. The first stage will be when the Antichrist takes over the Jewish temple, sits down in the Holy of Holies, and declares himself to be the one t<\/span>rue god (2 Thes. 2:3\u201310<\/a>). The second stage is when the False Prophet makes an image of the Antichrist and stands it up in the Holy of Holies (Rev. 12:13\u201317<\/a>; Dan. 12:11<\/a>). This will be the signal that t<\/span>he second and worse half of the Tribulation has begun.<\/p>\n

Secondly, in verses 16\u201320<\/a>, the Abomination of Desolation will be the signal for the Jews to flee out of the Land, and get out of Israel quickly! <\/span>This flight is also recorded in Revelation 12:13\u201317<\/a>. The tenor of this entire passage is the necessity of speed and urgency, without a second to lose. If they happen to be on the housetop, they must n<\/span>ot take the few minutes necessary to come down the ladder, go into the house, and take any possession. As soon as their foot touches the ground, they must get out of Israel. Or, if they happen to be out plowing in the field and hear of this event, they must not take the few minutes it may take to go back to their living quarters and take so much a<\/span>s a coat. From the place where they have been plowing, they must get out of Israel. The emphasis is on speedy flight.<\/p>\n

In verse 20<\/a>, they are urged to pray that when this event occurs\u2014and occur it must\u2014it should not happen either in winter or on a Sabba<\/span>th day. Why not in the winter? It seldom ever snows in Israel, so what could be the problem of winter? The reason for this prayer is that the Jews will be escaping toward the mountains in the east. There are several differences between the United States and the State of Israel. The United States receives rain in all four<\/span> seasons: summer, fall, winter, and spring. But this is not the case in Israel, where the rains begin in the latter part of October. Rains will fall in November, December, January, and February; they will begin dying out in March, and they will totally die out by mid April. From mid April to mid October, not one drop of rain will fall in the entire country. Another difference between the United States and Israel is the manner by which highways are built. When Americans build a highway and come to a water gully, even <\/span>if it is a dry water gully, they will still build <\/span><\/span>a bridge across it. That is not the case in Israel, where the roads are paved into the water gullies and o<\/span>ut again. These water gullies are technically called wadis<\/em>. These wadis are dry all summer and most of the winter. However, in the winter months when rain falls in the mountains of Israel, water start<\/span>s rushing down these wadis or water gullies with tremendous force, carrying tons of rock and debris, washing the highways out, and killing any thing or any one found in the way. Israelis enjoy hiking in these wadis during the dry months because they are picturesque and look like miniature Grand Canyons. Often they continue hiking into the f<\/span>all months not realizing the rainy season has begun. It may not be raining where they are, but it has begun raining elsewhere. Before they know what is happening, they drown in much water, rock, and debris. Every fall in the newspapers from Israel there are reports of just such occurrences. A rather vivid example occurred some years ago when forty French tourists were walking through a wadi to see the city of Petra. It was not raining where they were, but it had begun to rain elsewhere. Within thirty minutes, thirty eight of these forty<\/span> French tourists drowned. From this incident alone, it is easy to see why the Jews should pray that it <\/span><\/span>be not in the<\/em><\/span> winter<\/em>. When they escape, the Jews will have to escape by means of these wadis. If this event occurs in the winter, it will make their escape that much more difficult.<\/p>\n

They are also urged to pray tha<\/span>t when this event occurs it will not be on a Sabbath day. But why not on a Sabbath? In Israel, all public transportation closes down and no trains or buses run. Unless an Israeli has his own automobile, escape will be that much mor<\/span>e difficult. An example of this difficulty was demonstrated in the Yom Kippur War of 1973. The Arabs attacked on a holy day, when public transportation was nonexistent. <\/span>This made it especially difficult for the Israelis to mobilize their forces and get them to the front lines. So they are urged to pray that is does not happen on a Sabbath day.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

In verses 21\u201322<\/a>, the re<\/span>ason for the flight is because of worldwide anti Semitism. The worldwide persecution of the Jews begins in earnest and will continue for the next 3\u00bd years. Israel will survive, but will be greatly reduced in <\/span>number.<\/p>\n

Verses 23\u201328<\/a> are a special message directed to the believing Remnant within Israel, warning them not to heed any rumor that the Messiah has returned and come out of hiding. When the Me<\/span>ssiah does return, all will be able to see Him, for it will be like a flash of lightning surrounding the world. While all Jews are persecuted, a special emphasis of deception is aimed against the believing Remnant.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

C. Revelation 12:1\u201317<\/a><\/p>\n

A second passage that describes the flight of the Jews begins with a historical review and a summary in verses 1\u20135<\/a>: And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman arrayed with the <\/em>sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon <\/em>her head a crown of twelve stars; and she was with child; and she cried out, travailing in birth, and in pain to be delivered. And there was seen another sig<\/em>n in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems. And his tail draws the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stands before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child. And she was delivered of a son, <\/em>a man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne.<\/em><\/p>\n

These verses summarize the life of the Messiah from just before His birth to His Ascension. John sees two signs in the heavens. In verses 1\u20132<\/a>, Israel is pictured as a woman arrayed with the sun \u2026 moon \u2026 and \u2026 stars.<\/em> All this goes back to Joseph\u2019s famous dream in Genesis 37:9\u201311<\/a> where the sun represents Jacob, the moon represents Rachel, the symbol of Jewish motherhood, and the twelve stars represent the twelve sons of Jacob, who fathered the Twelve Tribes of Israel. This woman represents the nation of Israel, just before the birth of the Messiah.<\/p>\n

In verse 3<\/a>, John described the second sign, the great red dragon<\/em>, which is Satan in all his fierceness. The seven heads and ten horns<\/em> represent the final form of the Fourth Gentile World Empire, now shown to be under Satan\u2019s control and authority. The seven diadems<\/em> point to a concept of conquest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In verse 4<\/a>, the two signs come together. Satan brought his entire dem<\/span>onic host down to earth in the Land of Israel to try to destroy the program of the First Coming. It can be seen from this why there was such tremendous demonic activity in the Gospels when there was so little of it in the Old Testament and in subsequent accou<\/span>nts past the Gospels.<\/p>\n

And in verse 5<\/a>, the satanic attempt to undo the First Coming failed and the child<\/em>, who, destined to rule all the nation<\/em><\/span>s with a rod of iron<\/em>, was caught up to God\u2019s Throne at the Ascension from the Mount of Olives.<\/p>\n

After this historical review, John\u2019s vision moves forward to events that will occur in the middle of the <\/span>Tribulation in verse 6<\/a>: And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared of God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days.<\/em><\/p>\n

As in Matthew 24<\/a>, so <\/span>it is in Revelation 12<\/a>; suddenly the woman<\/em>, Israel, is on the run, fleeing to a place the Bible simply calls the wilderness<\/em>. From passages such as Micah 2:12<\/a>, it is known that this wilderness<\/em> is speci<\/span>fically the land of Edom and the city of Petra.<\/p>\n

While verse 6<\/a> shows that the woman<\/em> is on the run, it does not give the reason. This is explained in verses 7\u201312<\/a>: And there was war in heaven: Michael an<\/em><\/span>d his angels going forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels; And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in <\/em>heaven. And the great dragon was cast down, the<\/em><\/span> old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and<\/em><\/span> the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuses them before our God day and night. And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death. Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wra<\/em><\/span>th, knowing that he has but a short time.<\/em><\/p>\n

These verses are somewhat parenthetical but they provide the rea<\/span>son for Israel\u2019s flight. In verses 7\u20139<\/a>, Satan is cast out of his present third abode, the atmospheric heavens, and confined to his fourth abode, the earth, for the second half of the Tribulation. In v<\/span>erses 10\u201312a<\/a>, the two results of this angelic war is described. First, there is rejoicing in Heaven because the accuser of the brethren is cast down and his access to Heaven is removed forever. But se<\/span>condly, in verse 12b<\/a>, there is woe for the earth, for Satan is now full of wrath, knowing his time is short, only 3\u00bd years.<\/p>\n

Verses 13\u201317<\/a> take up where verse 6<\/a> left off: And when the dragon saw that he<\/em><\/span> was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman that brought forth the man child. And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourishe<\/em><\/span>d for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth. And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, tha<\/em><\/span>t keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Verse 13<\/a> states that once Satan is cast down to the earth, he persecuted <\/span>the woman, Israel. This verse should be connected with verse 6<\/a> as it gives a further explanation for Israel\u2019s flight into the wilderness. It should also be connected with verse 12<\/a>, which concluded tha<\/span>t there was woe for the earth because Satan was full of wrath because he knows his time is short, namely 3\u00bd years.<\/p>\n

In verse 14<\/a>, the expression the two wings of the great eagle<\/em> describes Israel\u2019s succe<\/span>ssful flight into the wilderness<\/em>, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.<\/em><\/p>\n

In verse 15<\/a>, the persecution is described in terms of water as a river, that he might cause her to be c<\/em><\/span>arried away by the stream<\/em>. This is describing a military invasion sent by Satan by which the Antichrist will succeed in taking control of Jerusalem and the Temple and will commit the Abomination of De<\/span>solation.<\/p>\n

But in verse 16<\/a>, this invasion will fail in its attempt to destroy the Jews, for Israel will succeed in fleeing into the wilderness<\/em> after being pursued by the invading army. Divine intervent<\/span>ion will destroy the pursuing army.<\/p>\n

Verse 17<\/a> closes the passage by describing further the wrath of Satan because of his initial failure to destroy the Jews. As in the case of the Matthew passage, Sata<\/span>n will then make war specifically against the believing Remnant, for it states that he now goes to make war with the rest of the woman\u2019s seed, namely, those who keep the commandments of God, and hold <\/em><\/span>the testimony of Jesus<\/em>. This will include all the Jewish believers at that time, as well as the 144,000 Jewish evangelists.<\/p>\n

Revelation 12<\/a> is a picture of Satan\u2019s persecution of the Jews with all its f<\/span>ierceness during the Tribulation. It will begin in the middle of the Tribulation, after he is cast down to the earth. He will now organize an all out worldwide anti Semitic campaign to destroy all the Jews once and for all. But the initial attempt to destroy the <\/span>Jews in the middle of the Tribulation will fail.<\/p>\n

Revelation 13<\/a> describes the two beings Satan will use in his program of Jewish destructi<\/span>on: the Antichrist and the False Prophet. It is important to see the connection between Revelation 12<\/a> and 13<\/a>. In Revelation 12<\/a>, John describes Satan\u2019s program and desire to destroy all the Jews once a<\/span>nd for all. Revelation 13<\/a> shows the means by which Satan will hope to carry out this program: the two beasts.<\/p>\n

D. Zechariah 13:8\u20139<\/a><\/p>\n

And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, says Jehovah, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part into<\/em><\/span> the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people; and they shall say, Jehovah is my God.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

This passage provides the answer to the question, \u201cTo what extent will Satan and the Antichrist succeed in their program of Jewish annihilation?\u201d In the Holocaust under Hitler, one third of th<\/span>e world\u2019s Jewish population died. Under the fierce persecution of the Antichrist controlled and energized by Satan, two thirds of the Jewish population living at the beginning of the Tribulation will not survive. This will be the largest and most intense persecution of the Jews ever known in Jewish history.<\/span><\/p>\n
