THE 70-YEARS PROPHECY OF THE END!
GP 156
3/72
1. THE LORD HAD TOLD JEREMIAH HOW LONG IT WOULD BE UNTIL THE END OF THE DESOLATIONS OF ISRAEL, & the end of their captivity--a total of 70 YEARS! And in Grandmother's prophecy in the Summer of 1966, the Lord predicted that "to the one called David by Divine Anointing..." "It has been given thee to PERCEIVE THE NUMBER OF YEARS which, according to the prophet Jeremiah, will pass BEFORE the End of Desolations." At that time, Grandmother gave the Scripture, Daniel 9:2, indicating what the number of years would be: 70!
2. WHAT THE LORD WAS SAYING IN HER PROPHECY WAS THAT HE WAS GOING TO SHOW ME AN EQUAL NUMBER OF YEARS, LIKE He did to Daniel through Jeremiah, unto THE END of Desolations of TODAY, or the near future; & that, as it was in Jeremiah & Daniel's day, THE END WOULD COME AFTER THE END OF THE 70 YEARS--THE END OF DESOLATIONS, or, the end of this era--the end of the havoc that Man is now wreaking on the Earth, which, of course, can end only with the Coming of Christ!
3. IN THE "TIMES OF THE GENTILES", THE LORD HAD GIVEN US A CERTAIN TIME PROPHECY in the Summer of 1970 in which He tapped out a certain number of sevens in answer to my question when I was very ill: "WHAT SHALL BE THE DAYS OF MY YEARS?" The Lord had tapped out FIRST SEVEN SEVENS with a significant pause, FOLLOWED BY THE THREE SEVENS indicating in other words, that a period of 49 years would be followed by a period of 21 years, making a total of 70, WHICH SHOWS THAT THE TOTAL "DAYS OF MY YEARS" WERE TO BE A TOTAL OF 70, DIVIDED INTO TWO PERIODS--THE FIRST, OF 49 YEARS, WHICH EVIDENTLY ENDED IN 1968, the year we began the Revolution at the Light Club in Huntington Beach, to be followed by a period of 21 MORE YEARS OF MY LIFE, ENDING IN THE YEAR 1989!
4. YOU MAY ALSO RECALL THAT IN THE "TIMES OF THE GENTILES" REVELATION, THE LORD INDICATED THAT THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES ENDED ABOUT THE YEAR 1969, the year the Revolution & Restoration of the modern Children of Israel--the Children of God--began to get in full swing! But it never dawned on me until just now that this predicted total of 70 years had already been promised in Grandmother's prophecy of 1966, the same year in which she received the Warning Message Prophecy of the Great Confusion!
5. THIS, THEN, MAKES THE 70 YEARS OF FAR GREATER SIGNIFICANCE THAN JUST THE LENGTH OF MY OWN LIFE & MINISTRY: They will evidently also be the fulfillment of the 70 years prophesied by the Lord through Grandmother in 1966, which "WILL PASS BEFORE THE END OF DESOLATIONS"! This sounds like the Lord means that THE END will come after the end of that 70-year period, or sometime after the year 1989, the predicted year of the end of my life, or "the days of my years", as it says that these 70 years will pass BEFORE the End of Desolations, perhaps just SHORTLY before.
6. THE TWO MAJOR PSALMS WHICH THE LORD GAVE AS BEING PROPHETIC OF US ARE PSALM 68 & PSALM 89, which coincide with those very years of the beginning & end of our ministry--1968 & 1989. Also, PSALM 93 is certainly significant, if '93 is the year of His Coming, as it begins with the words, "THE LORD REIGNETH", & pictures Him as ruling over all!
7. I WAS NEVER MUCH FOR THE NUMEROLOGY OF THE BIBLE, BUT SURELY SOME OF THIS IS MORE THAN COINCIDENTAL! Maria just now looked up Psalm 49, but there seemed to be nothing significant about it regarding us, but even that is appropriate, as I was nothing & never seemed to accomplish much for the first 49 years of my life. But when she thought of PSALM 21, she nearly flipped, because it is ONE OF THE "DAVID" PSALMS ABOUT "THE KING"!--And certainly these 21 YEARS OF OUR PRESENT MINISTRY ARE THE YEARS OF OUR REIGN!--Which they can't stop! Hallelujah!
8. SO IF THESE PROPHECIES ARE TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY & SPECIFICALLY, THEY CERTAINLY ALL FIT TOGETHER like the pieces of a great jigsaw puzzle, & fit exactly to the very DATES, picturing our LIFE, the beginning & length of our MINISTRY, the time of our DEATH, & even the year of the COMING of the Lord, IF this is the way they can be applied!
9. IS ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR THE LORD? Surely this is a small thing for Him to do! HE HAS FORETOLD MANY OTHER SIGNIFICANT EVENTS, & has even predicted SOME OF THEM TO THE EXACT YEAR a number of times before in His Word & in history. SO WHY SHOULD HE NOT INDICATE TO YOU, HIS ENDTIME CHILDREN, THE LAST & GREATEST OF ALL GENERATIONS, THE SPECIFIC YEARS & exact times of the coming greatest events of all time, including the beginning of the Tribulation, & the time of His Own Coming? Why not? It's possible! "For with God nothing shall be impossible, & all things are possible to him that believeth!"--Even to the possibility of the credibility of these dates as being indicated by the Lord!
10. IN OTHER WORDS, IF OUR INTERPRETATION OF THESE PREDICTIONS IS CORRECT:
1) THE RESTORATION of God's true Israel--the Children of God--began in 1968 or 1969.
2) We should begin hearing something about the ANTICHRIST and his rise to power soon and certainly not later than the early 1980s.
3) He would therefore have to confirm the COVENANT about 1985.
4) 1985, therefore, would be the beginning of the SEVENTIETH WEEK of Daniel 9.
5) This would be the Last Seven Years of World history & the REIGN OF THE ANTICHRIST.
6) The TRIBULATION would then have to begin about the end of the year 1989.
7) THE LORD WOULD THEN COME exactly 3-1/2 years later, some time during the first half of 1993!
11. SUMMARY:
1) 1968-9: END OF THE TIME OF THE GENTILES.
2) 1968-89: RESTORATION OF THE REMNANT of Israel in the Children of God.
3) Late 70s &/or Early 80s: RISE OF THE ANTICHRIST to power.
4) 1985: The COVENANT CONFIRMED by the Antichrist.
5) 1985: SEVENTIETH WEEK of Daniel begins.--LAST 7 YEARS of World history.
6) 1989: TRIBULATION BEGINS.
7) 1993: JESUS COMES!
12. SO IT WON'T BE LONG NOW!--It won't be long that we, the Aquarian followers of the Lord, have to finish the job of reaching the rest of the World with the Love of Jesus! It won't be long that we have to work & watch & pray for His Coming! It won't be long till the Coming of the Antichrist, the Tribulation, & the Coming of the Lord! Let us work therefore the works of Him that sent us, while it is yet our day!
13. JUST PLEASE DON'T GO AROUND TELLING EVERYBODY THAT I PREDICTED THESE DATES, BECAUSE I DIDN'T--THE LORD DID! And if they don't happen just like this, don't blame HIM--but blame US for not having interpreted His predictions properly. BUT PERSONALLY, I'M INCLINED TO BELIEVE THAT THESE DATES ARE MIGHTY CLOSE, if not exact, & if there is any error, it is due to the frailty of our human understanding, & not to the failure of God!
14. SO DON'T KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED, BUT THRUST THEM HEAVENWARD IN A FIRM SALUTE to the Revolution for Jesus, & keep on serving Him faithfully until those days DO come, & right on through until The End, whenever & however it may come! Amen?
15. AS I WAS ASKING THE LORD JUST NOW WHY THIS 70-YEAR PROPHECY & ITS FULL MEANING & actual dates were not revealed unto us fully until now in this recent flash of revelation, I asked Him "WHY, Lord? Why NOW, & for what reasons? Some will even say it's unscriptural to know the times & seasons, & will quote Acts 1:7, saying 'it is not for you to know'". No, it was NOT for THEM to whom He spake at THAT time to know the answers of the questions THEY were asking, as to when He would restore the Kingdom to Israel, because THIS would not happen until OUR Day! BUT NOW IT IS BEING FULFILLED IN US, therefore, it IS HIS WILL FOR US TO KNOW IT, to perceive it & understand it!
16. FOR, AS THE APOSTLE PAUL LATER SAYS IN 1THES.5:1 ETC.: "BUT OF THE TIMES & THE SEASONS, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For YOURSELVES KNOW PERFECTLY that the Day of the Lord so cometh", etc. And He gives several specific signs of the Lord's Coming. If the Lord did NOT intend for us to know the times & the seasons, then WHY did He give us Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21, John 14, Acts 1, 1Thes.4 & 5, 2Thes.2, 1Tim.4, 2Tim.3, 2Pet.1 and 3, & the whole Book of Revelation, as well as multitudes of prophecies in the Old Testament, including many in the Historical Books, as well as the Poetical Books, & 17 Books of the Prophets which were almost nothing but prophecies & specific predictions of the future! If God didn't want His children to know anything specific about the future, then He wasted half the Bible talking about it, & we ought to throw that half away!
17. BUT HE DOES WANT US TO KNOW, & starting with the very first chapter of the very first Book He even says that He created the stars of the Heavens "for signs, & for seasons, & for days, & years"! And throughout the entire Bible, He continues to give us multitudes, thousands of literal, specific, predictions of the future, & what its times & seasons would be like, including sometimes the exact years these events would occur!
18. THE LORD FREQUENTLY PREDICTED THE EXACT YEAR, EVEN SOMETIMES THE DAY & THE HOUR! But Jesus, when speaking of the Time of His Coming, Himself said, "But of THAT DAY & HOUR knoweth no man."--At least, no man knew THEN, according to the tense of the verb that He used, & maybe no man will ever know until it happens. But He did NOT say that we would not know the TIMES or the SEASONS, many of which He predicted Himself about His Coming. He did not even say that we could not know the YEAR or even the MONTH or the WEEK of His Coming! He only said we don't know the "DAY & HOUR" of His Coming--yet!
19. SO THERE'S NOTHING IN THE SCRIPTURE WHICH FORBIDS US FROM KNOWING EXACT YEARS OF COMING EVENTS! There's nothing in the Bible which says we can't or won't know the year of the Covenant, the time of its breaking, or the year of Jesus' Second Coming! In fact, on the other hand, the Lord makes it extremely explicit several times regarding the exact number of YEARS & MONTHS, & even DAYS, during this crucial Last Seven Years of the Endtime!
20. WHY?--WHY THEN SHOULD THE LORD WANT US TO KNOW EXACT YEARS OF COMING EVENTS AS THEY DRAW NIGH? He told Daniel that the words of HIS prophecies were to be "closed up & sealed TILL the Time of the END", at which time, or near which time they were obviously to be revealed & understood & opened unto us as they are today, another proof that we are in the Endtime! It was not necessary for DANIEL & the people of HIS day to understand these predictions, as they were not to be fulfilled until OUR day, over 2000 years later!
21. BUT YOU DO NEED TO KNOW, UPON WHOM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH ARE COME! YOU are HERE, NOW, & it's happening to YOU! --The End is NEAR! It's going to happen to YOU! YOU'RE going to be LIVING through these very days of the Endtime! For you ARE the Last Generation! You ARE that chosen Remnant of the Children of God who have been created to witness these final mighty events, & to witness to the World in its last dying days! NOW is the Endtime of which all the Prophets spake! YOU are the generation--the LAST Generation--of whom all the Prophets spoke, & they dreamed of your day!
22. SO DON'T YOU THINK GOD WANTS YOU TO KNOW NOT ONLY WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN & to whom it's going to happen & where it's going to happen & how it's going to happen, BUT ALSO WHEN it's going to happen? What does it do for you to know specifically that you've only got exactly a certain number of years left before the actual Coming of Christ? What EFFECT should it have on us to know these things? Does it do us any GOOD? Does it do YOU good?
23. WELL, IT CERTAINLY HAS DONE ME A LOT OF GOOD! IT HAS CONFIRMED AGAIN MANY OF MY CONVICTIONS ABOUT YOU, your ministry, your future, & your utmost importance in the Plan of God! First of all, it convinces me again, as already stated, that this IS the Endtime & you ARE the Last Generation which shall not pass away before all these things shall be fulfilled, as Jesus said in Matthew 24:34, speaking of the generation which would see these signs come to pass--the signs of which He spake & all the Prophets predicted!
24. IT SHOULD ALSO IMPRESS UPON US ALL THE EXTREME IMPORTANCE OF OUR JOB, the SUPER-SOBERNESS & seriousness with which we should take it, & the UTTER URGENCY with which we should perform it! It should also make us realise how vital it is that we STUDY hard, MEMORISE extensively & WITNESS intensely & DO OUR JOB thoroughly & well, for this is OUR LAST CHANCE to go into all the World & preach the Gospel to every creature! This is THE END! We're THEIR last chance, & we'd better make good what God has given! Amen?
25. DO YOU REALISE THAT IF THESE LAST DAYS ARE ONLY GOING TO LAST THESE FEW MORE YEARS, most of you are only going to be in your thirties or forties--the prime of life--in those Last Days of Antichrist & Great Tribulation, & at the PEAK OF PERFORMANCE! Do you realise if you're as powerful a witness as you are NOW, what a TREMENDOUS WITNESS you're GOING to be after YEARS of Bible study & witnessing & living the true life of faith as a genuine full-time disciple? Do you realise what a fearless soldier of Jesus Christ you'll be by THAT time if you keep on going the way you're going NOW!
26. DO YOU REALISE THAT YOUR CHILDREN ARE GOING TO BE FLAMING TEENAGE PROPHETS & EVANGELISTS BY THAT TIME--the greatest force on Earth--the most powerful witnesses the World has ever known! No wonder they're going to be clothed in sackcloth & witness like those Prophets in Revelation 11!--Some of you are going to BE those Prophets--those two mighty Witnesses who lead the witnessing forces of the Children of God with mighty miracles throughout the entire Tribulation right up to the Coming of Christ! Hallelujah!
27. DO YOU REALISE, THEREFORE, HOW IMPORTANT THE TRAINING OF OUR CHILDREN IS NOW--their disciplining, the teaching, & the preparation for the fantastic job God's got for them in the stupendous future? THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD & conquer it for Christ in spite of all the forces of Anti-Christ & nothing shall be able to hurt or destroy some of them, according to Revelation 9:4!
28. NO WONDER "THE PEOPLE THAT DO KNOW THEIR GOD SHALL BE STRONG & DO EXPLOITS! And they that understand among the people shall instruct many!" You're going to have the power of God & the wisdom of His Spirit to survive those awesome days & be the witness God is preparing you to be! Of course, not ALL will survive, for many "shall fall by the sword, & by flame, by captivity & by spoil, many days!" But "they shall be holpen with a little help", for this is "to try them, to purge & to make them white, even to the Time of the End". PTL! God is working out His Purpose!
29. WE ARE ALSO GOING TO BE THE TEACHERS OF THE WORLD, as "they that understand...instruct many." The knowledge of how short the time is should cause you to not only study & memorise for your own sake & to be a better witness to many, but also to be able to teach others to teach others to teach others to teach others! How many teachers & leaders this job is going to require!--And how little time there is to prepare for it, & to prepare THEM for it!
30. NO WONDER GOD IS TELLING US EXACTLY HOW SOON IT'S GOING TO BE & that we haven't much time & that we've got to get busy & get on with it, lest some "come in the Last Days, scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, 'Where is the promise of His Coming?--For since the Fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were!'"--God doesn't want YOU to fall asleep, too!
31. IT SHOULD THRILL YOU, ENCOURAGE YOU, INSPIRE YOU & SPUR YOU TO WORK LIKE MAD, study like cramming for an exam, & witness like you were afraid it was going to go out of style! To know how soon these things are going to be--to know they're definitely going to happen very soon--to know exactly "the number of the years" & how little time we have left should make you pray, study, work & witness AS YOU NEVER HAVE BEFORE, FOR YOU NEVER WILL AGAIN! This is everybody's last chance to get on with it, & off with it--for it's the END OF THE LINE!
32. SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? Are you going to pray like everything depended on prayer, & work like everything depended on work, & study like everything depended on studying, & provision like everything depended on provisioning, & teach like everything depended on teaching, & witness like everything depended on witnessing?--Or are you going to say "Oh, well, we've got years!--We might as well take it easy!" YOUR time may be at hand already, & YOU may be about to be offered, because SOME are not going to make it all the way, especially the way the whole World's going! Will He say to you, "Well done, thou good & faithful servant"? It won't be long!
