THE END OF DAYS REVEALED

Jonathan Cahn opens the meaning of Aharit Hayamin: The End of Days Revealed. The Bible speaks of prophetic times known as the ‘Last Days,’ the ‘End Times,’ ‘the End of Days, starting in Deuteronomy.

Even before Israel entered their Promised Land, Moses told the people their entire history and that because of disobedience God will cast them out of the land and scatter them throughout the world. He also reveals that before the end of the age, God would regather them. Miraculously, God orchestrated Israel being re-established as a nation again in 1948. The main end times prophecy has already been fulfilled. As Jonathan reveals many other Biblical end times prophecies are playing out now in our day.

Jonathan Cahn reveals the prophetic mysteries in Daniel 7 including “Shena”, the 4th beast in the book of Daniel that has metal in it, and the altered end-times technology.

WHICH NATIONS MAKE UP THE ANTICHRIST EMPIRE

Who are the 10 horns of the Beast, the 10 nations that make up the core of the Antichrist Kingdom?

Revelation 17:12-17 NIV – “The ten horns you saw are ten kings – Looking at Revelation and Psalms TOGETHER, the answer becomes crystal clear. Not only who they are, but who the 3 horns plucked up by the roots are, and the important role those 3 play in Bible prophecy. Watch this Nelson Walters video for one of the most insightful teachings on this channel. This teaching will help you watch for the key events that will unfold before the Antichrist arises to power. Psalm 83 proves important in helping us identify the ten kings that will form in the future. They do not have power now but receive their authority from the Antichrist.

The Psalms reveal secrets of HOW the Antichrist arises and comes to power, WHERE he comes from, and WHEN he comes on the scene. Although Christians often overlook them, the Apostle John quoted them often in the Book of Revelation.

ONE WORLD GOVERNMENTS

Biblical prophecy tells us that prior to Jesus setting up His one-world government God allows Satan to set up a one-world government with the Antichrist and False Prophet ruling the nations for 3 1/2 years. During this time the Antichrist institutes the Mark of the Beast so that anyone who does not take the mark cannot buy or sell. It is time when many Christians will be martyred. God eventually steps in to rescue His Saints by taking them to heaven prior to Him pouring out His wrath upon an unrepentant world with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements.

After the Trumpet and Bowl judgements Jesus returns to the earth with the glorified Saints to destroy the Antichrist’s army, cast the Antichrist and False Prophet into the Lake of Fire, and liberate Israel.

Jesus then sets up His Millennial Kingdom where Jesus and the Saints rule with a rod of iron over this world for 1000 years prior to its destruction, the second resurrection, the White Throne judgement, and God establishes a new heaven and new earth where only the righteous dwell.

Revelation 20 is devoted to Jesus’ Millennial Kingdom. The key features of this transition period are:

  1. Satan is bound for most of the thousand years. What is shocking and revealing about mankind, is that when Satan is released, he is still able to gather an army of people whose number is like the sand of the sea to come against Jesus and the Saints. We are not told, but I assume that demons are also bound during Jesus’ Millennial reign.
  2. Jesus and the Saints rule with a rod of iron during Jesus’ Millennial reign. Jesus rules from a new Jerusalem and Israel will be the lead nation of the world. The Saints will govern the nations and most of the rules and commandments that God established for His nation Israel will apply. The Sabbath, Shemitah, Jubilee, and most Feast days will be law. Nations that do not come up to Jerusalem to honour Jesus will suffer the consequences: there will be no rain on their land.
  3. In the absence of Satan, is millennial life perfect? No. The millennium is still a time of sin, death, rebellion, and harsh judgment. Its true character seems to fall between the present age (the “church age”) and the future sinless coexistence of the redeemed in the new heaven and new earth (Rev. 21). With reference to death in the millennial age, we read: “No more shall there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not fill out his days, for the young man shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed. Isaiah 65:20
  4. You (Jesus’ Disciples) are those who have stayed with Me in My trials, and I assign to you, as My Father assigned to Me, a kingdom, that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of IsraelLuke 22:28-30

There will be no more wars, and disputes will be quickly resolved. Jesus and the Saints rule with a rod of iron. The wicked will be killed.

For out of Zion shall go forth the law and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He shall judge between many peoples and shall decide disputes for strong nations far away, and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore;” Micah 4:2-3

He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide disputes by what his ears hear, but with righteousness, He shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and He shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall kill the wicked.” Isaiah 11:3-4

She gave birth to a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron,” Revelation 12:5

From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron.” Revelation 19:15a

And Jesus said to them, The sons of this age (Millennials) marry and are given in marriage. But those who are considered worthy of taking part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children since they are children of the resurrection.” Luke 20:34-36

Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.” Revelation 20:6

The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron, Revelation 2:26

Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule with justice.” Isaiah 32:1

Even the hotheads will be full of sense and understanding. Those who stammer will speak out plainly. In that day ungodly fools will not be heroes. Scoundrels will not be respected.” Isaiah 32:4-5 (NLT)

The offices of judge and counsellor will be reinstituted

I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward, you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.” Isaiah 1:26

I will also make your officer’s peace and your magistrate’s righteousness. Isaiah 60:17

Jesus Millennial Kingdom is what is next on God’s agenda for this earth. We have had 6ooo years of man’s reign. Next is 1000 years with Jesus and the Saints ruling prior to God ending this world with fire. The start of 8000 years will be on the new earth where only the righteous dwell.

After Jesus Millennial Kingdom will be the second resurrection followed by the White Throne judgement. All unrepentant sinners are thrown into the Lake of Fire for punishment and the second death.

Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers will not be hurt by the second death.’Revelation 2:10-11

Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.”

Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.Revelation 20:14-15

But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8

TURKEY’S ROLE IN THE END TIMES

Under Erdogan, Turkey has put Islam back in place of secularism and is asserting itself once again as the dominant Muslim nation as it was in the days of the Ottoman Empire.

The Ottoman Empire was founded in 1299 by Osman Ghazi and consistently grew from 1299 to 1683. The first 10 rulers of the Ottoman Empire were considered the most successful kings. Of particular note was Suleiman the Magnificent. It was during his reign that the Ottoman Empire rose to its peak of power and domination.

The Ottomans proved their strength in the Battle of Djerba in 1560. During the naval battle the Ottomans inflicted 10-20 times as many casualties as they sustained from the Christian alliance’s navy. The path was open for another attack on Malta.

The Great Siege of Malta was the major turning point for the Ottoman Turks. The Knights of Malta led by Grand Master Jean Parisot de La Valette played the lead role.

Queen Elizabeth I stated, “If the Turks should prevail against the Isle of Malta, it is uncertain what further peril might follow to the rest of Christendom.”

The rulers of numerous Christian realms and military orders soon put aside their differences, partially inspired by the Siege of Malta, and formed the Holy League. The Holy League went on to win a decisive victory against the Ottomans at the Battle of Lepanto six years later. And the Knights Hospitaller, later the Knights of Malta, still have their headquarters on the island to this day.

The Ottoman period spanned more than 600 years and came to an end only in 1922 after WW1 when it was replaced by the Turkish Republic and various successor states in southeastern Europe and the Middle East.

The popular Turkish reaction to the reconversion of Hagia Sophia (known as Aya Sophia in Turkish) cannot be explained without reference to these historical facts. The attempt by the “Christian” allied powers to carve up the Turkish homeland in addition to detaching the non-Turkish portions of the Ottoman Empire and dividing them up among themselves have been strong reminders for the Turks over generations of their loss of greatness. The transformation of Hagia Sophia from a mosque to a museum was perceived as a part of this loss that needed to be remedied.

The mosque of Hagia Sophia was a major symbol of the Ottoman victory over the Byzantine Empire in 1453 and an emblem of Turkish pride. Ataturk’s decision to turn it into a museum to display its dual Byzantine and Islamic heritage was an attempt to demonstrate both a break from what he considered to be the decrepit Ottoman past and to establish Turkey’s credentials as a “civilized” nation in the eyes of the West. But, this decision had been resented by the religiously observant Turkish masses imbued with the combined spirit of Islam and Ottomanism.

Thus, the reconversion of Hagia Sophia into a mosque, which it had been for close to five hundred years, as a move to revive his dwindling popularity appeared an attractive and relatively costless proposition to Erdogan. However, such a move cannot succeed in a vacuum for it would not work if it did not touch a vital chord in Turkish hearts. That the decision would appeal to a large majority of Turks is the gamble that Erdogan has taken and there is sufficient evidence to conclude that it has worked.
