Prophetic signs of the Messiah's return?

Prophetic signs of the Messiah's return? - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com

 

The UK Mirror has written a story making the case for the soon return of the Messiah and the end of the world as we know it because of three recent "prophetic events". The lead states: "The first occurrence was the birth of the first 'red heifer in 2,000 years' in Israel - a creature that features in 'end of times' tales in both Christianity and Judaism. The news of the birth, which emerged in September, was followed by claims last month that fish and other forms of life are quickly filling up Dead Sea sinkholes. The third strange occurrence took place this week, when a snake was filmed slithering out of Israel's Western Wall, unexpectedly interrupting prayers." Let's examine each and discern the legitimacy of this story.

 

The prophecy clock surely advanced on August 28 when a red heifer was born in Israel. The ordinance of the red heifer is found in Numbers 19 where the Lord commands Moses to bring a "red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke" to be slayed outside the camp, and burned with cedar wood, hyssop and scarlet. Daniel 11:31 prophesies that In the end of years the armed forces of the king of the north (beast/antichrist) "shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that makes desolation." This is what Christ is referring to in Matthew 24. Therefore, prior to the Messiah returning there are daily sacrifices taking place in the Temple in Jerusalem. The red heifer is important to prophecy because its ashes are needed to cleanse the Temple and its instruments. No red heifer, no Temple.

 

A photographer has taken pictures of fish swimming in the sinkholes of the Dead Sea, where no life could sustain because of the high concentration of saline. This, some say is a fulfillment of the Ezekiel 47:8-9 prophecy: "...and go down into the desert, and into the sea (Dead): which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed...and there shall be a very great multitude of fish because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed." While there may be fish in the Dead Sea sinkholes filling with fresh water as the sea recedes, this is not a fulfillment of the Ezekiel prophecy. The Ezekiel prophecy in Chapter 47 contextually is occurring after the return of Messiah when he is healing and restoring the land.

 

The UK Mirror then threw in the snake coming out of the Western Wall. Somehow, it explains, internet bloggers see this as a sign of the snake that tempted Adam and Eve and that we are living in "dangerous times." It has nothing to with biblical prophecy whatsoever, but because internet bloggers think it does, the UK Mirror included it in the story. This is an example of Christ's warnings in Matthew 24:4 and 11-"Take heed that no man deceive you" and "many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many." Don't just take somebody's word for it that prophecy is being fulfilled. Study it for yourself. These are perilous times that we live in and the red heifer is surely an indicator. Misinterpretations of scripture and the making up of signs and wonders, however, can deceive many. Let us be wise and circumspect as we seek the Blessed Hope.
