Chapter Sixteen <snip>
What follows is a summation of the entire prophetic destiny of Judah, Israel and the Kingdom of God. Those of you who may be wanting to communicate these truths to others might find this a handy tool. With each chapter summary I have put the pertinent Scripture references that would enable you to easily direct people’s attention to the promises of God’s Word on this subject.
In Chapter One we examined the Patriarchal Prophecies where God laid the foundation of His plan for the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We saw that the promise of the Sceptre was given to the tribe of Judah and promise of the Birthright Blessing was given the sons of Joseph, in particular, Ephraim.
Genesis 17:1-7; Genesis 48:12-20; Genesis 49:26; Genesis 49:10; 1 Chronicles 5:1-2; Deuteronomy 33:16-17; Genesis 48:16.
In Chapter Two we traced the separation of Israel from Judah so that they became two kingdoms and we took note of their ongoing animosity toward one another. More than 180 verses testifying to the reality of two houses, two kingdoms, two destinies.
Joshua 11:21; 1 Samuel 11:8; 17:52; 18:16; 2 Samuel 2:10; 3:10; 5:5; 11:11; 12:8; 19:11,40,41,42,43; 20:2; 21:2; 24:1,9; 1 Kings 1:35; 2:32; 4:20,25; 12:17,20,21; 15:9,17,25,33; 16:8,23,29; 22:2,10,29,41,51; . . . <snip>
In Chapter Three the rebellion against God by the Northern Kingdom of Israel, led by the tribe of Ephraim, became so bad that He allowed them to be taken captive and carried away into exile. Yet even at that time, God made further promises to them about their eventual return and blessing.
1 Chronicles 5:26; 2 Kings 17:5, 16-18, 21-24; Hosea 1:9-10, 3:4, 5:7, 8:8; <snip>
In Chapters Four and Five we examined the prophecies of Daniel that gave us our first glimpse of the end of the age. In the dream of the statue we found the prophesied history of the nations that would prevail over the Middle East from the time of the Babylonians. In the vision of the four beasts we learnt about the prevailing spiritual powers of darkness that would influence the whole world and how the fourth spiritual power was also the final geopolitical power at the end of the age.
Daniel 2:31-45; Daniel 7:1-28.
In Chapters Six through Nine, we took a synoptic view of the three prophecies of Daniel that covered the period of history of the Kingdom of Judah from the time of Daniel through to the Abomination of Desolation and the fall of Jerusalem that culminated with the Kingdom of Judah being taken into exile. In the seventy week prophecy we found the promise of the coming of Messiah and the details of His mission.
Daniel Chapters 8, 9, 11 and 12.
In Chapter Ten we presented the Kingdom of God; its manner of manifestation and its power. It became clear that the Jews were not expecting a spiritual Kingdom that was to be in the world but not of the world. Jesus came as Prophet, Priest and King to take up the Throne of David, also known as the Throne of the LORD.
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
In Chapter Eleven we saw that the prophecies of Jesus were to be understood synoptically which enabled us to see that the Abomination of Desolation and the destruction of Jerusalem was the beginning of that period of time Jesus referred to as ‘the time of the Gentiles’ (Luke 21:24). We also learnt that the end of the age would not come until the Gospel had been preached in all the world. We saw with clarity that the harvest at the end of the age included both the ‘wheat and the tares’, the ‘good fish and the bad fish’, the ‘sheep and the goats’, and that we who believe will be raised up to be with Him on the last day.
Matthew 13 and 24, Mark 13, Luke 21 and John 6:39,40,44,54.
In Chapter Twelve we heard from the Apostles that the Church would be subjected to deceptions leading to apostasy and be afflicted with false prophets and false teachers. We looked briefly at the steady decline of the early ‘church fathers’ from apostolic times into the dark ages. We also saw clearly that the Antichrist arises right before the end of the age and prevails against the saints for a ‘time and times and half a time’ (Daniel 7:25), but is utterly vanquished when Jesus comes with flaming fire to destroy His enemies.
Jude 1:3-4; 1 Timothy 6:9-11; Acts 20:28-31; 3 John 1:9-10; 2 Peter 2:1-3; Matthew 20:25-28; Matthew 23:8-11; 1 Peter 5:1-4; 1 Timothy 4:1-2; 2 Timothy 3:1-5; 2 Timothy 4:1-4; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12; 2 Thessalonians 1:3-12; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 1 Thessalonians 4:16; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11; 2 Peter 3:1-13; 2 Timothy 2:15-19; Daniel 7:25.
We got valuable insight into the coming events of the Latter Days in Chapters Thirteen, Fourteen and Fifteen where we saw that there are many prophecies concerning Judah, Israel and the Middle East that are yet to be fulfilled before the end of the age, things that will surely come to pass despite the resolutions emanating from the United Nations Security Council. Along with some very interesting Scriptures foretelling geopolitical scenarios in the Middle East, we learnt of a predicted exodus of tremendous proportions that is mind boggling in its scope. After thousands of years of animosity, Judah and Israel become reconciled to each other and they come together out of the nations and back into the Promised Land. <snip>

About the Author
In the South Island of New Zealand there is an elusive character whose pen name is Elihu Ben Ephraim: pastor, teacher, evangelist and a disciple of Jesus Christ; who never thought he would ever find himself writing a book on prophecy and has only given himself to this project because he believes God has laid it on his heart. His primary focus in life is to proclaim Him and His Word, consequently he is unwilling to be forthcoming concerning details of himself as he is not particularly interested in becoming well known. If you ever get to meet him, he’ll welcome you with a smile, put the kettle on, and very soon you will be talking about the things of God over a cup of tea or coffee, or perhaps a ginger beer.
