MOSHE & ELIYAH COMING SOON TO YERUSHALAYIM

The Apocalypse is the only scroll/book in the entire Bible that is said to be directly from Yeshua (Revelation 1:1), endorsed by Yeshua (Revelation 22:16), and that promises a blessing to those who read, hear, and obey the writings (Revelation 1:3). In the Apocalypse are the words of Yeshua concerning two witnesses who are coming: “I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.” In context these two OT men arrive as “witnesses” during a new and soon coming “Temple Era.” A Temple will be the epicenter of the Jewish (and Gentile) world in the days ahead. A Temple will be built in Jerusalem (Revelation 11:1,2) and that Temple will be desolated as prophesied by Yeshua in Matthew 24:15, just as the OT Temple was desolated by Antiochus IV. In concert with the desolation, “two witnesses” will prophesy for exactly 1,260 days, or 42 thirty-day months (biblical months are from Genesis to Revelation thirty days), or exactly three and one-half years.

The ministry of these “two witnesses” will be during the first half of the 7-year Great Tribulation period, and according to the holy scriptures after the 1,260 days or 3 ½ years, they will preach no more. Clearly, from knowing the Word these two witnesses are Moshe and Eliyah. It was Eliyah who had power to shut heaven from rain (I Kings 17:1) and Moshe had power to turn waters to blood (Exodus 7:20). These two men also appeared with Yeshua on the Mount of Transfiguration, and Kefa/Peter wanted to build a temple for all three (Matthew 17:3). Yeshua, the author of the Apocalypse wants His reader to have clues to “who’s who” in the last days. He gave us the clue of the number of his [the antichrist] name, so we can identify the antichrist (Revelation  13:17,18). Yeshua wants the readers to identify His reference of Moshe and Eliyah, also. 

For three and one-half years these two visitors from heaven are invincible. Dressed in sackcloth as mourners in distress, they prophesy among Israelis. No one can touch them (Revelation 11:5) and they ‘target’ the Jews with their message! This is why their manifestation of powers are nexus to OT events concerning Israel; the miracle of shutting the heavens from rain, and turning waters to blood (Revelation 11:6). If the Jews in the last days have read the written and living Word of God, they may recognize the two witnesses by their biblical powers, and also remember the account of Yeshua having the same two witnesses with Him on the Mount of Transfiguration. Many will believe and be saved due to their witness, but the majority of Israel will not believe. 

After their assigned period of preaching for 3 ½ years, the antichrist is permitted to kill the two witnesses (Revelation 11:7), and their bodies will lie in the street of Jerusalem for 3 ½ days, in the city where they ministered and were murdered. Jerusalem will be so nasty that Yeshua labeled it “Sodom,” and so rebellious against God’s manifestation of miracles, that Jerusalem is labeled, “Egypt” (Revelation 11:8).

Jerusalem and the entire world will be very happy that Moshe and Eliyah are murdered and their teaching silenced, and they will not allow their bodies burial. The general reaction of the entire world when the world Czar, the Antichrist silences the preaching of God’s Word by murdering these two men of God, is thanksgiving, and a holiday is proclaimed and gifts are given (Revelation 11:10). 

After the 3 1/2  days, Moshe and Eliyah lying in the street of Jerusalem will resurrect and ascend back to heaven in accord with an earthquake that will kill 1/10th of Jerusalem (Revelation 11:13). Today, that would be 95,000 Jerusalemites. Then, the third woe is unleashed! Oy Vey!

How is the coming of Moshe and Eliyah to Jerusalem relevant? A Jew cannot think of Moshe without remembering how he shepherded Israel to the promised land; he was the deliverer of the remnant. As for Eliyah Jews remember his contesting the Baals in the land of Israel. He was a prophet of judgment and reform. 

My former pastor, Dr. Hugh van Eaton once reminded me, when we preach, teach, write, sing, or give the Word, we are telling someone about their salvation or their judgment. Everyone must hear the message! 

CMI is challenging modern Israel and the Jews of our world with a choice! (1) The message of Yeshua, the Prophet like unto Moshe (Deuteronomy 18:15) and His New Covenant is the Gospel! Or, (2) the alternative choice of believing anti-Yeshua “rabbis” and their oral traditions written in the Talmud, which is the same as worship of Baal! It is a contest of Baal and YHWH again! 

Yeshua is YHWH’s only way, truth, and life. All other faiths and religions are Baal! Modern Israel needs Eliyah to challenge their Judaism(s) a Judaism that is leading Jewish people away from Yeshua! Eliyah and Moshe are coming and will soon appear to do just that!

THE RABBIS HAVE DECEIVED THE JEWISH PEOPLE

At Yeshua’s first coming as Messiah of Israel, there were Jews who recognized Him even as an infant. “Mary did you know?” Yes, she knew exactly Who her son was as told her by the archangel Gavriel. She did not know all, but she knew as her Magnificat reveals (Luke 1:46-55). Miriam’s fiancé and soon-to-be-husband Yoseph, also knew, and so did the magi.
EliSheva, the mother of Yochanon the Immerser knew who Yeshua was, as did the fetus in her womb, Yochanon who danced in EliSheva’s womb upon hearing Miriam’s Shalom Aleichem (“Peace/Greetings to You”). The old man, Sh’meon held Yeshua when He was eight-days old and made the  exclamation of the fulfillment of prophecy, "my eyes have beheld my salvation!" And, the old woman Channa, from the tribe of Asher (there are no lost tribes) also knew Who He was. She recognized Him as a toddler, and Yeshua wasn't wearing a halo or "Star of David" diapers, and Channa didn’t need a miracle!
Later, Yochanon the Immerser immersed his cousin, Yeshua in the Yordan after first exclaiming the arrival of the Passover Lamb. In time, twelve Jews left their boats, businesses, vocations, and families to be the talmidim or disciples of Yeshua. Five-hundred others became disciples to whom Yeshua appeared and were eyewitnesses of His resurrection (Acts 13:31; 1 Corinthians 15:3-9). In the Gospel of Lukos 120 Jews were waiting and praying in the upper room, and on the Day of Pentecost Kefa (Peter) preached and three thousand Jewish believers came to believe in Yeshua (Acts 2:41). Five-thousand Jewish men not counting women and children believed in Yeshua says Lukos (Acts 4:4), and Jewish Priests (Acts 6:7), and the Jewish terrorist, Shaul(Paul) believed in Yeshua as did a great number of Jews in the synagogue of Iconium (Acts 14:1). Jews in the synagogue at Thessalonica were persuaded by Shaul and Silas, and noble-minded Jews in Berea received the word from Shaul although examining everything Shaul said according to the Holy Scriptures (Acts 17:1-4; 10-12). 

Jews who believed in Yeshua were categorized in four groups, Christians (Acts 11:26), the Natzratim (Nazarenes, Acts 24:5), The Way (Acts 22:4; 24:14), and the Ebionites. Jews in large numbers asked Shaul/Paul to stay and speak and reason with them, and myriad numbers were persuaded by Shaul’s handling of the Holy Scriptures in reference to Yeshua and they came to believe (Acts 28:23-29). It is estimated that 25% or one-fourth of the Jewish population in the known world came to believe in Yeshua by AD 100. The biblical truth is, there has always been, there now is, and there will always be a remnant from the house of Israel who are the true “Israel” (Romans 11). 

So, what became of OT Judaism if so many Jews came to believe in the New Covenant? Very good question! The nation of Israel and the majority of the Jewish people who were physical descendants of Avraham, Ytzack, and Yaaqov by birth, did not believe in Yeshua. The unbelieving Jewish leaders had little regard for Yeshua and the meshummed or “traitors” who had come to follow Yeshua, and in their attempt to reinvent or reinterpret OT Judaism, they embellished Halakha which is the interpretation of the Torah by suggesting that not even Moshe (Moses) knew the great truths of Rabbinic Judaism. In today’s Judaism Moshe is inferior to Rabbi Akiba ben Yosef who is said to be “the second Moshe,” the “Prophet like unto Moshe” (Deuteronomy 18:15) -certainly not Yeshu the derogative name they call Yeshua.

Daniel Gruber quotes Jacob Neusner (1932 – 2016) an ordained Jewish rabbi and professor at Dartmouth with degrees from Hebrew University (Masters) and Columbia (Ph.D.) in his book Early Rabbinic Judaism who suggests that the halakah of modern Rabbinic Judaism does not need to be grounded by Torah (Genesis to Deuteronomy) nor does the Halakha need to have any relationship to the Holy Scriptures whatsoever. The rabbis can invent laws and do not need to tie them to the Bible! That is like saying Christians do not need to be tied to the Bible, but can invent doctrine (which Catholics and other fake Christendom have done), or like suggesting that the teaching of Islam need not be tied to the Quran or the Haddit. Rabbinic Judaism is falsified and fake Judaism. 
Do the Jewish people know this? Do they know that the Rabbis consider themselves to be above the authors of the Holy Scriptures? Do they know that the Oral Law was the hinge that Rabbi Akiba ben Yosef hung his reinvented Judaism, promoted as more inspired than the written Word? Do they know that Rabbinic Judaism curses Yeshua, curse His followers, and until this day blasphemes YHWH by calling Yeshua Who is the visible image of the invisible YHWH, a “bastard” in the Jewish Talmud?  The Jewish people have been deceived by the Rabbis whose doctrine is of the devil!
