ASCENSION OF ISAIAH

(Early Jewish writings)

 

CHAPTER 4

 

AND now Hezekiah and Josab my son, these are the days of the completion of the world.

 

2. After it is consummated, Beliar the great ruler, the king of this world, will descend, who hath ruled it since it came into being; yea, he will descent from his firmament in the likeness of a man, a lawless king, the slayer of his mother: who himself (even) this king.

 

3. Will persecute the plant which the Twelve Apostles of the Beloved have planted. Of the Twelve one will be delivered into his hands.

 

4. This ruler in the form of that king will come and there will come and there will come with him all the powers of this world, and they will hearken unto him in all that he desires.

 

5. And at his word the sun will rise at night and he will make the moon to appear at the sixth hour.

 

6. And all that he hath desired he will do in the world: he will do and speak like the Beloved and he will say: "I am God and before me there has been none."

 

7. And all the people in the world will believe in him. 8. And they will sacrifice to him and they will serve him saying: "This is God and beside him there is no other."

 

9. And they greater number of those who shall have been associated together in order to receive the Beloved, he will turn aside after him.

 

10. And there will be the power of his miracles in every city and region.

 

11. And he will set up his image before him in every city.

 

12. And he shall bear sway three years and seven months and twenty-seven days.

 

13. And many believers and saints having seen Him for whom they were hoping, who was crucified, Jesus the Lord Christ, [after that I, Isaiah, had seen Him who was crucified and ascended] and those also who were believers in Him - of these few in those days will be left as His servants, while they flee from desert to desert, awaiting the coming of the Beloved.

 

14. And after (one thousand) three hundred and thirty-two days the Lord will come with His angels and with the armies of the holy ones from the seventh heaven with the glory of the seventh heaven, and He will drag Beliar into Gehenna and also his armies.

 

15. And He will give rest of the godly whom He shall find in the body in this world, [and the sun wil be ashamed]:

 

16. And to all who because of (their) faith in Him have execrated Beliar and his kings. But the saints will come with the Lord with their garments which are (now) stored up on high in the seventh heaven: with the Lord they will come, whose spirits are clothed, they will descend and be present in the world, and He will strengthen those, who have been found in the body, together with the saints, in the garments of the saints, and the Lord will minister to those who have kept watch in this world. (

Meaning of the word 'minister': 'and the Lord will minister to those who have kept watch in this world.': 

As I understand: the living remnant or those who shall reign with Christ on earth and will not go upwards.

act as a minister of religion: tend to, care for, take care of, look after, nurse, treat, attend to, see to, administer

Which means that not all those who will be found in the body shall afterwards turn themselves upward as verse 17 states, but only a few or those 'who have been found in the body, together with the saints, in the garments of the saints,...'!

 

17. And afterwards they will turn themselves upward in their garments, and their body will be left in the world. (Seems very likely a taking away of the (few) living remnant of the saints, but afterwards, not at His instant return!)

 

18. Then the voice of the Beloved will in wrath rebuke the things of heaven and the things of earth and the things of earth and the mountains and the hills and the cities and the desert and the forests and the angel of the sun and that of the moon, and all things wherein Beliar manifested himself and acted openly in this world, and there will be [a resurrection and] a judgment in their midst in those days, and the Beloved will cause fire to go forth from Him, and it will consume all the godless, and they will be as though they had not been created.

 

19. And the rest of the words of the vision is written in the vision of Babylon.

 

20. And the rest of the vision regarding the Lord, behold, it is written in three parables according to my words which are written in the book which I publicly prophesied.

What Is bible telling us?

​

Rev 12:6: “The woman fled into the wilderness, where God had prepared a place for her to be nourished for one thousand two hundred sixty days.”

Rev 11: 3 “And I will empower my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for a thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”

 

time, times and half a time: a biblical year contains 360 days/year and a month 28/30 days:

1260 days = 42 months = 3,5 yrs = 3 yrs + 6 months

Then we have:

1290 days = 43 months = 3 yrs + seven months

1335 days = 44,5 months = 3,7.08 yrs = 3 yrs, 8 months and 15 days

 

Daniel 7:25: “He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.”

The son of perdition shall rule for 3,5 yrs, or as Isaiah says in his ascension: “

Isaiah 4:12: "And he (The Antichrist) shall bear sway three years and seven months and twenty-seven days.”  and can be related to the 1290 days or the amount of days which Yeshua revealed until the end of the abomination of desolation. Daniel's prophecy regards a twofold prophecy; once happened in BCE with the abomination by Antiochus Epiphanes IV, and then again before the end of this age by the man of perdition, and both; one already has / the other in the future will, rule for about 3,5 yrs. One abomination in previous age of Aries and one in Yeshua's age of Pisces. Read in addition: 'The Ages of God's Creation Timeline' !

Nowhere we can find such as a last week but only these 3,5 yrs we also find in Rev 12:14! Daniel's 70th week prophecy is history and completed and thus already fulfilled. The Eternal will never interrupt any of His timelines! Not one!

 

Daniel: 8-12: …As for me, I heard but could not understand; so I said, "My lord, what will be the outcome of these events?" 9 He said, "Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time. 10"Many will be purged, purified and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand.…

…11"From the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. 12"How blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to the 1,335 days!"

 

45 days between 1290 and 1335 days? War, Purge, Debris clearing... and this maybe shall last until the 2300 morning and evenings are fulfilled with the revealing of the sanctuary? We have a period between 1332 days at His coming and the revealing of the sanctuary! A time of order ? Apparently!

 

Those who attain and keep their faith unto the 1335 (1332) days are those few who will meet the Lord in the sky when He starts to descend and this before He finally descends on earth to finish His work on that same last day of God’s Wrath. Why else would Yeshua mention this number of days! We know that He returns after history's tribulations and on the Great Day of God’s wrath, which is the last day or the 1335th day from the time that the antichrist sets up the abomination of desolation in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount. The day we know this date regarding the abomination set up in Jerusalem, then we will be about to know the day of His return!

The tribulations are meant for Israel and her Middle East enemies. Nature disasters are undoubtly meant global and the last Day of God’s Wrath is the final end of the previous eon or old world. This last day of God’s Wrath is the wrath bible mentions from which the elect shall be saved, and first taken away from or protected from, by escape, same as in Noah’s time: saved just before the wrath begins and not many years earlier! Rev 12 does not refer to a church rapture born on Pentecost, but rather the child(ren) of Israel, the 144 000? or others who didn't make part of the (first gentiles) church, but before, dating BCE known as the OT fathers and prophets!

(But I believe it’s about the 144 000 virgin male who now shall be taken to the throne, means in heaven, because until this day they were kept apart as being the First Fruits and was fulfilled by Yeshua on the Cross. On that day these were saved out of Hades: read 'The Gospel of Nicodemus'!)

 

A personal note:

If I regard the conclusions made by several good bible scholars, the Second Coming would be quiet acceptable on the Feast of Trumpets as they are preaching at this very moment, although this feast was given to Israel. Regarding my opinion the second coming could most likely occur during the feast of Tabernacles as being the last one week feast inluding the last Great and final Day. 

But as bible states, Israel turned her back to God and God made another choice and went to the gentiles who later created the church by the gospels and preaching’s of Yeshua’s disciples. As I can assemble by scripture regarding the salvation/rapture context, we certainly can put these two holy congregations of Israel and the church together as being the elect, but not those few who shall be taken away after His return. God once rejected Israel but He will keep His promise regarding their renewed gathering and final reunion as a nation and as His Holy people. This is the final intention of the end times: a new Israel (all the elect ones) and a new world under the protecting wings and a righteous government by Yeshua the divine ruler and His remaining saints.

​

Bible confirms a taking away of the few saint after tribulations:  

​

(Matthew 24:26-31; Luke 21:25-28)

Mark 13 first read whole chapter:

The Return of the Son of Man

 

24 But in those days, AFTER that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. 26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven."

 

 AFTER tribulations! Stated literally by scripture! Read more about rapture timing !

 

Mark 13:32 "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father."

 

Even it's a Jewish idiom then why even the angels, the Son nor the Father know about the first moon to predict the first day of the feast of Trumpets? They do not know about their own creation? By "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man,"Yeshua is referring to the beginning of tribulation times, not rapture!

Doesn't seem to be an idiom to me, linked to the beginning day of the feast of Trumpets, but a warning to be ready at any time for all things to come and not being deceived during tribulations. Verse 24 refers to the last day accompanied with major disasters or the major wrath of God. The elect will escape this major and all destroying wrath of God, not tribulations, and a picture as it was in Noah's time, and then salvation occurs!

 

Blessings and Shalom,
