Pastor J.D. talks about the profound prophetic implications surrounding the intensifying situation in the Golan Heights, then ties together the typology of the pre-tribulation rapture with the ancient Jewish wedding customs and the communion.
I have linked JD’s teaching on another thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/3425163/posts?page=401#401
Revelation 9
The shape of the locusts, is a map of the current middle east
First you need a map of the Middle East, here's one.
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/middle_east_and_asia/middle_east_pol97.jpg
Print, then rotate the map 90 degrees so that west becomes north, in a sense.
Revelation 9
7 The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. 8 They had hair like womens hair, and their teeth were like lions teeth. 9 And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle. 10 They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.
1. Horses prepared for battle, Turkey is the rider with an upraised arm.
2. Crowns of gold, Sinai
3. Faces of men, Jordan
4. Women's hair, Lebanon
5. Lions teeth, Jordan
6. Breastplates of iron, Iraq
7. Wings, Iraq
8. Tails like scorpions, Somalia and the UAE
Amos 7:1
This is what the Sovereign LORD showed me: He was preparing swarms of locusts after the kings share had been harvested and just as the second crop was coming up.
Second crop, IE the revived Ottoman Empire.
Psalm 110:1
Of David. A psalm. The LORD says to my Lord: Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.
Ottoman, a footstool and an empire.
Shift: Zoom in on western Turkey
Now you need a map of the 7 Churches of Revelation, oh here's one.
http://www.biblestudy.org/maps/the-seven-churches-of-revelation-map.html
Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamon (Pergamos) , Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea form the outline of a (right) foot with Pergamos the heel mark!
Genesis 3
14 So the Lord God said to the serpent:
Because you have done this, You are cursed more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you shall go, And you shall eat dust All the days of your life. 15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.
Revelation 2:12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write, These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword: 13 I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satans throne is...
And...
Job 41
1 Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook,
7 Can you fill his skin with harpoons, Or his head with fishing spears?
Look at Turkey's head (I imagine there's good fishing in those waters). Now his arm, broken at Istanbul
Job 38:15
From the wicked their light is withheld, And the upraised arm is broken.
And...
Psalm 37:17
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, But the LORD upholds the righteous.
For the record I did not crack the shape of the locusts, (Rev 9) a friend did who wishes to remain anonymous.
Also: The map of the locusts explains this verse.
Revelation 13:14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honour of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.
The 'head wound' is the 'West Bank' which was taken by Israel in the 1967 Six Day War.

The Rapture
By Rabbi Dr. Hillel ben David (Greg Killian)
http://www.betemunah.org/rapture.html
And I might add The Lord's Prayer states, 'Thy kingdom come'... Not Thy kingdom run.
Enoch
Book 1: Watchers
Chapter 1
1 The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect and righteous, who will be 2 living in the day of tribulation, when all the wicked and godless are to be removed. And he took up his parable and said -Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were opened by God, saw the vision of the Holy One in the heavens, which the angels showed me, and from them I heard everything, and from them I understood as I saw, but not for this generation, but for a remote one which is for to come.
Compare to:
Matityahu (Matthew) 13:24-30
Thank you.
In the seventieth week of Daniel the Christians are already gone. The seventieth week is all about the Jews, even evangelizing because they know the clock has started on the seven years and the times are all appointed by God.
The Great tribulation is three and a half years...
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/3403128/posts?page=22#22
The entire Tribulation is seven years. At the midway point antichrist enters the temple and declares himself to be god. The entire seven years are hallmarked by the increasing wrath of God focused upon the Earth. During the less perilous period prior to antichrist entering the Temple, the Jews are the evangelists turning hearts to God for mercy. The beginning of the Tribulation sees the church nowere on Earth, the true church, the Ekklesia.
Matthew 15:24 But He answered and said, I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
The Zohar makes an association between the Shekinah and the Temple and indicates that the Shekinah's spouse is the Messiah.
THE SHEKINAH - PART 1
THE MENORAH, TEMPLE, BRIDE OF MESSIAH

Read on!
The body of Messiah is not Israel.
The body of Messiah is ONE NEW MAN that comprises of BOTH Jews and gentiles .
Yes he came to Israel first but was rejected (not by all but by the leaders and most of Israel)
(Ephesians 2:14) For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
(Ephesians 2:15) Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
(Ephesians 2:16) And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
(Ephesians 2:17) And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
(Ephesians 2:18) For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
(Ephesians 2:19) Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
(Ephesians 2:20) And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
(Ephesians 2:21) In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
(Ephesians 2:22) In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
