Missing Revelation - ThomasDGW - 01-12-2025
The destruction of the first temple and Jerusalem and the first exile were accompanied by detailed warnings, starting in Leviticus 26, even giving the exact number of years of the exile as being associated with the land not resting for 490 years, to complete 70 years of rest (2 Chronicles 36:21).
By contrast, the destruction of the second temple and Jerusalem, accompanied by the second exile, has only one reference in the Hebrew Bible, Hosea 3:4-5. No reasons given, except the hint that it has some relation to an unfaithful wife, no length of time given, the destruction not mentioned. Yet, Amos 3:7 tells us that God does nothing unless He reveals it to His prophets. And the land rested for almost 2000 years, largely turning into a desert. Are we to understand that God left the much longer second catastrophe and exile for the rabbis to ponder and analyze? When a rabbi gave a commentary about a temple destruction, people wondered whether he was referring to the first or second. The answer was that we know he was referring to the first temple because he included Bible references. This was a tacit admission that the second destruction has none.

The Building of the Third Temple – The Promise of the Messiah
Two Conditions need to meet for Israel Entering the Promised Land:
Before Israel could enter the promised land of Canaan, two conditions needed to be met: one was Israel's obedience and submission.
And יהוה said, “I pardon, as you have asked. Nevertheless, as I live and as יהוה’s Presence fills the whole world, none of those involved—who have seen My Presence and the signs that I have performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, and who have tried Me these many times and have disobeyed Me shall see the land that I promised on oath to their fathers; none of those who spurn Me shall see it. Numbers 14:20-23
The other was the fullness of the sin of the Gentiles.
And [God] said to Abram, “Know well that your offspring shall be strangers in a land not theirs, and they shall be enslaved and oppressed four hundred years; but I will execute judgment on the nation they shall serve, and in the end they shall go free with great wealth. As for you, You shall go to your ancestors in peace; You shall be buried at a ripe old age. And they shall return here in the fourth generation, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.” Genesis 15:13-16
Interpretation and Current Events:
The world's sin has now reached its fullness, and Israel, through obedience, has established its nation. Therefore, the Messianic era has arrived. Israel was established in 1948, and in 1949, the People's Republic of China, symbolized by the dragon, was founded. The first chairman, Mao Zedong, was born in the year of the snake, and the current chairman, Xi Jinping, is also born in the year of the snake. The world situation is becoming clear: the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the root of the world's evil and the main backer of the world's axis of evil.
Then God יהוה said to the serpent, “Because you did this, more cursed shall you be than all cattle and all the wild beasts: On your belly shall you crawl and dirt shall you eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; they shall strike at your head, and you shall strike at their heel.” Genesis 3:14-15
