By Pastor F. M. Riley

“Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me,

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.”

Isaiah 46:9-10

Introduction

There has been a lot of debate lately about the length of the Tribulation period. God’s people [true believers] throughout this present dispensation have always taught a future seven year Tribulation. But those who advocate a shorter Tribulation have come out in force lately, “reinterpreting” Daniel 9:26-27 and Revelation 11:2-3, and insisting that the Tribulation period is only 3½ years in length. They scorn and ridicule the teaching of a seven year Tribulation, claiming that “there is not a Scripture in the Bible that says that the Tribulation will be seven years in length.” Oh! Is that so?

What a silly argument! There are many Scriptural truths taught in God’s Word that are not explicitly stated in some Scripture. After many years in the ministry I am personally convinced that the Lord inspired His Word in this way to promote the serious study of the Word by all honest seekers of the truth, and to expose those claiming to be “Christians” who do not seriously study the Word of God nor deal honestly with the Scriptures. Read again Matthew 7:21 and 13:10-16, and let the message soak in. There is a huge difference between a “professor” and a “possessor,” and the Lord knows how to separate “the tares from the wheat.”

In this study I am going to demonstrate by God’s inspired Word that, contrary to what some claim, a future seven year Tribulation is explicitly stated and taught in the Scriptures. Read on…..

Remember…..

The Lord explicitly and emphatically stated in Isaiah 46:10 that He had declared “the end from the beginning,” and “from ancient times the things that are not yet done.” I accept Isaiah 46:9-10 as literal truth. In this passage the Lord said what He meant, and meant what He said.

Preceding this statement, in verse 9 the Lord urged the Jews to “Remember the former things of old…” Why should it be important to the Jewish people to “remember” those things that had happened hundreds of years previously at “the beginning” of their history? Because, if this passage is taken literally, what happened at “the beginning” of Israel’s history is what will again happen to them as the Lord brings the end of this age to a close.

Confirmation

In confirmation of this truth, I suggest our readers also carefully notice Solomon’s

statement in Ecclesiastes 1:9, “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and

that which is done is that which shall be done:…..” Do you believe this statement, or did Solomon just lie? Well…?? Notice that Solomon repeated this truth for a second time in Ecclesiastes 3:15, “That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.” Again, was Solomon stating the truth in this passage? Well…?? Be careful how you answer. God is listening!

Also in 1 Corinthians 10:1-11, the inspired Apostle explicitly states twice that the things that happened to ancient Israel are “examples” [typos…types], and that “they are written for our admonition [instruction] upon whom the ends of the world [age] are come.” See verses 6 and 11. Obviously then, the “seven years famine” at the time Jacob took his family down into Egypt was also a “type” recorded in God’s Word for the instruction of those living today at “the end” of this present age.

Now read Isaiah 46:9-10 for yourself. Read this passage over and over several times. Ask the Lord to give you understanding, John 16:12-13. Do these verses say that the Lord has declared “the end from the beginning,” or do they not? You know they do! If we take these verses at face value for what they actually and literally say, then the verses explicitly state that God has declared “the end from the beginning.” Period!

Keep in mind that in the Book of Isaiah the Lord is giving the prophet Isaiah a vision of the things “concerning Judah and Jerusalem,” Isaiah 1:1. In other words, everything recorded in this book, in one way or another, concerns the Jewish people. Therefore, if we want to know how Israel’s history is going to be concluded at “the end” of this age, then we need to look at “the beginning” of Israel’s history.

Israel’s Beginning

The first time the word “Israel” occurs in the Bible is in Genesis 32:27-28. This is where the Lord changed Jacob’s name to “Israel,” apparently in view of making a nation out of the twelve sons of Jacob. At the time the Lord changed Jacob’s name, Jacob was certainly not a nation. But remember that Isaiah 46:10 says that God declares “…..from ancient times the things that are not yet done…..” Glory!

A few years later Jacob left Canaan and took his whole extended family down into Egypt to sojourn. There the children of Jacob [Israel] became a nation. Who says so? The Word of God says so, “…..A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous,” Deuteronomy 26:5.

So “the beginning” of the nation of Israel was when Jacob took his family down into Egypt to sojourn. God’s inspired Word says so! Glory to God! Praise the Lord! Our readers should pay close attention to this event, because Isaiah 46:9-10 explicitly states that God has declared “the end from the beginning.” So exactly what was going on in the world at that time which caused Jacob to take his whole extended family down into Egypt?

A Seven Year Famine

What was going on at that time was a world wide “famine,” Genesis 41:56-57, exactly as had been predicted in the dreams that God had given to Pharaoh in Genesis 41:1-7. And how long was this “famine” predicted to last? According to the inspired dreams that God gave to Pharaoh, as interpreted by Joseph, this “famine” would be upon all the

nations of the world for “seven years,” Genesis 41:25-32.

Folks, notice carefully that it was not 3 ½ years that this “famine” was predicted to be upon the earth. In fact, no where in this entire account is a 3 ½ year period ever mentioned. Read it for yourself. It is explicitly stated that the “famine” was to be on the earth for “seven years.”

The expression, “seven years of famine,” occurs three times in this account. See Genesis 41:27, 41:30, and 41:36. Wow! Glory! The number, “27” [verse 27], is the Bible number signifying “the fulfillment of prophecy.” The number, “30” [verse 30], is the Bible number signifying “blood; bloodshed; the shedding of blood.” The number, “36” [verse 36], is the Bible number signifying “enemy; adversary.” Three times seven is twenty-one, the Bible number that is repeatedly connected with the 21 judgments poured out upon the earth during the coming seven year Tribulation. Now add up all of the numbers from 1 through 36 and they will add up to “666,” the number of the Antichrist or “beast” [Revelation 13:18], who will be Israel’s enemy during the coming seven year Tribulation period.

Folks, is all of this just coincidence? Or, do you suppose this “seven year famine,” which occurred at “the beginning” of Israel’s history, is portraying in “type and shadow” the seven year Tribulation period which is prophesied to come upon Israel [and the whole world] at “the end” of this age? What about it?

Defining “Tribulation”

Some of our readers may object that a “seven year famine” is not the same as a seven year Tribulation. Oh! Is that so? Let’s just see about this…..

The English word “tribulation(s)” occurs 22 times in the New Testament, and is translated from the Greek word “thlipsis” each of those times. This Greek word literally means, “pressing; pressing together; pressure; oppression; affliction; distress; in straits; persecution; trouble; tribulation.” See Thayer’s Greek Lexicon, page 291, Strong’s No. 2347. In other words, the basic meaning of the word is “trouble,” regardless of the source or kind or degree of such “trouble.” The basic meaning of the word is TROUBLE.

Now you tell me…..would a “seven year famine” upon the whole earth mean “trouble” for those living on the earth? Well…?? If you were one of those on the earth starving to death for lack of food, would you think you were “in trouble?” If people all around you were starving, and there was no food for them, would they be “in trouble?” If you own loved ones were starving to death right before your eyes because of a world wide “famine,” and you could not obtain food for them, would you consider that “famine” as a “time of trouble?” Read Matthew 24:21 and Mark 13:19.

Folks, if you claim to be a “Christian,” then let’s deal honestly with God’s Word. Three times in Genesis 41 the exact words, “seven years famine,” are used. It is obvious from the account set forth in the inspired Word of God that this “seven years famine” brought terrible trouble upon the whole world at that time. It is also explicitly stated in Isaiah 46:9-10 that God has declared “the end from the beginning,” clearly indicating that this “seven years famine” is going to be repeated at “the end” of this age.

Since the Greek word “thlipsis” just basically means “trouble,” then the expression, “seven years famine,” could just as easily have been translated as “seven years tribulation”[trouble], for that is exactly what occurred during the time of that “seven years famine,” and it is exactly what is prophesied in “type and shadow” to occur again at the end of this age.

Now tell me again that “that there is not a Scripture in the Bible that speaks of a seven year Tribulation.” Hello! I’m not hearing you. Speak a little louder.

A Seven Year Repetition

Folks, the inspired Word of God explicitly states that there was “seven years of dearth…..in all lands” at “the beginning” of Israel’s history, Genesis 41:54. I have clearly demonstrated in this study that this “seven years famine” is to be repeated at “the end” of this age. Is there any evidence today that such is about to happen? Is there…??

Is it just coincidence that at this very time in human history, the whole world is facing another world wide “famine”? Food shortages are swiftly developing all over the world as I write. The price of food is skyrocketing right here in the United States, while the supply of food is swiftly being exhausted.

Are you aware that the governments and the military forces of the world are buying up and storing vast quanities of food from every available source on earth even as I write? No, I didn’t think so, for the liberal New World Order news media is not telling or warning the people that this is happening. Just a few weeks ago the world’s largest “food merchandiser” publicly announced that they are accepting no more orders for food, because every scrap of food they have contracted to buy through 2010 has already been placed under contract to be “sold” to the governments and military forces of the world. Why are the governments and military forces buying up all of the world’s food supplies? Is it possible that the political and military leaders of the world “know something” that they are not willing to share with the public? Think about it! Their massive purchases of the world’s food supplies are helping to create food shortages throughout the world, and are driving up the cost of food for the rest of humanity.

Folks, the whole world is facing the worst “famine” mankind has ever faced in human history, Matthew 24:21. Now do you understand why God’s Word predicts world wide food rationing just after the beginning of the seven year Tribulation? See Revelation 6:5-6. Do you now understand why a loaf of bread [a measure of wheat or three measures of barley] will be selling for a days wages [a denarius] just after the beginning of the Tribulation? Read Revelation 6:5-6 for yourself, believe it, and be warned! This “seven years of famine” is staring humanity in the face right now.

How long? How many years? One year? Two years? ­Three and a half years? No! God Almighty, in His inspired Word, says this world wide “famine” that is right now staring humanity in the face, is going to last “seven years,” Genesis 41:27; 41:30; 41:36; 41:54. Read Isaiah 46:9-10 again, and this time believe it.

Truth Vindicated

In view of these things, it then becomes obvious that the theory of a 3 ½ year Tribulation is just fiction. It is also obvious that the claim that the Lord Jesus Christ fulfilled the first half of the Tribulation by His personal ministry is also just a fictitious theory. Neither of these theories have any Scriptural support whatsoever. Quite to the contrary, both of these silly theories are corruptions of the Scriptures brought forth by those who either don’t know how to “rightly divide the Word of truth,” or who think more of their theories than they do of dealing honestly with God’s Word. Their motives are between them and the Lord.

Folks, the Scriptures presented in this study make it quite clear that the “seven years of

famine” that occurred at “the beginning” of Israel’s history, are going to be repeated at “the end” of this present age as Israel’s history draws to a consummation. This is speaking of the swiftly approaching seven year Tribulation period. In this study I have given book, chapter, and verse to prove this truth to any honest reader.

If there now remains any reader who wants to call Almighty God a liar, and still insist that the Tribulation will be only 3 ½ years in length, then choose your own judgment. I will have no part in such wickedness. I love the Lord with all my heart, but I also fear Him. I have absolute respect and reverence for Him and His Word, and I will never be a part of making the Lord or His Word out to be a lie, 1 John 1:6-10.

The “interpretation” of Daniel 9:26-27 which has been traditionally taught by all true believers right through the centuries is completely vindicated. The debate is over!

Conclusion

As I close this study, I would now ask our readers if they are READY to meet the Lord? Are you prepared to pass into eternity? Do you have assurance that you have been saved by the grace of God? Are you facing the future with joy and anticipation of being “…..caught up…..to meet the Lord in the air…..” at the rapture of God’s people? Folks, as I write there are only a few more days until our Lord is coming to resurrect and rapture His people to glory. Therefore I admonish you, “…..give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall,” 2 Peter 1:10.

On the other hand, are you one who has never been saved? Or, are not sure of your salvation? Perhaps you are still lost in sin and facing a bleak future without any hope? Friend, if my questions are probing your heart, then I admonish you; yea, I beg you to seek the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior right now while you still have time and opportunity to be saved. Read Luke 13:1-5, John 5:24, 14:6, Acts 16:31; and Romans 10:8-13. Bow your heart before our righteous and loving God, and ask the Lord Jesus Christ to come into your heart, cleanse you from your sin, and save your soul. Do it today! Tomorrow may be too late! I would like to meet you in glory. Don’t disappoint me!

Thomas Taylor (8 Oct 2008)

“Christians the time is NEAR! 2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:”

The current generation of Christians prefers what was mentioned in Isaiah 30:10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:

If you are skeptical of this message then this is my disclaimer straight from the word of God.

Acts 13:41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

Paraphrasing Daniel 11:20-24 (NIV) prepared on September 28, 2008 revised 10/3/08

President Bush directed Treasury Secretary (Henry Paulson) to devise a plan which would preserve America’s economy (President Bush informed America of this directive during his national address which was given on Sept 24, 2008 and he warned that failure to act could be dire). However, within a few days his plan was thoroughly defeated during a congressional vote, but ratified after a second attempt within the same week (the bail out plan failed to be approved by congress on Sept 29, 2008 and then the plan received a strategic makeover enabling it to be adopted within the same week). Bush will be succeeded by a person (the 2008 Presidential election campaign between Obama and McCain is scheduled to produce a winner on Nov 4) who will openly abuse his judicial authority as President of the US during a period of severe economy hardship (the approved bailout plan will fail to achieve its desired goal for the US economy and this will eventually lead to a financial crisis which will lead to a prolonged depression and civil protest will be intensified as conditions worsen). He will skillfully plot (using insincere smooth talk he will take advantage of the depression situation) to gain supreme control of America by forcefully suppressing civil resistance, while its citizens are experiencing a false sense of security from the presence of military peace keepers (UN and US forces will be dispatched into the cities to prevent and halt lawlessness, protesting, and terrorism during the depression period using Martial Law and Americans will be deceived into accepting it). Before this successor is revealed as the Antichrist (a Great Spiritual Awakening must occur among Christians as revealed near the end of Ezek 39) a foreign military superpower aggression will be crushed, (this is the Gog referred to as modern day Russia from Ezek 38 that is destroyed supernaturally by God as they move to invade Israel militarily), and a high ranking US government official who pledges to help America recover from the economical depression will be assassinated (this slain individual is none other than the Antichrist himself and after suffering a deadly head wound he is going to be resurrected back indwelt with Satan, and when the world wonders after the beast the Christian community is going to wise up and mediate on Rev 13:3, continued deceitful acts will eventually allow the Antichrist-AC to abolish the principles of Democracy and the original US Constitution thus allowing him to set up his 1st Dictatorship the Mother Obama-Nation in America referred to in Rev 17:5 as BABYLON THE GREAT). After a new peace accord (league) is established between him and other world leaders (after a terrorism attack on DC the Antichrist will move his administrative offices to the UN building in New York so he can mingle with other world leaders and convince them to agree to this new peace treaty drafted by him), he will secretly plot (he will deceitfully go back on his promises to these world leaders) with selective military personnel (foreign military peace keeping Commanders) to increase his ability to exercise control over the citizenship of these foreign countries (Martial-Law will be imposed during civil unrest in other countries suffering from a global economical crisis caused by ripple effects from the US financial meltdown and these countries will also be forcefully brought under his rule by replacing the United Nations with the newly created Obama-Nations as revealed in Rev 17:5). When the most influential countries of the world perceive they are safe (likely Middle-Eastern countries), he will gain control of them through military force, and his devious exploits will exceed those of his predecessors (past Dictators bent on world domination) and ancestors (Jewish forefathers who were kings in the Old Testament and this HIDDEN TRUTH is confirmed in Rev 3:9). He will distribute the spoils (homes, property, and possessions) of persecuted citizens (millions of Christians will be murdered and executed for opposing the Antichrist’s rule and for not denouncing their loyalty to the true living God) to his loyal supporters both here and abroad (the bible refers to this period as the Great Tribulation or Hour of Temptation and details of the events are documented in the books of Daniel, Revelation, and Habakkuk for God grants the AC 3.5 years to persecute Christian citizens as revealed in Dan 7:25). He will devise a sinister scheme designed to topple all foreign government strongholds in the world with the threat from his nuclear arsenal (of Obama-Nations), but his granted authority will only be brief. (God will limit the reign of this cruel tyrant to 2,300 total days as revealed in Dan 8:14 because Christ as he has promised, returns to cleanse the earth by completely defeating the Unholy Trinity and their followers in the battle of Armageddon and then sets up his everlasting Kingdom with his saints according to Dan 7:27).

Dan 11:20 give reference to the formulation and rejection of a bailout plan for the US, and the main difference between the NIV vs. the KJV is that few years (NIV) is noted as few days (KJV), so based on the Headline News on 9/30/08 I’m inclined to go with the KJV. Discernment of Dan 11:20-24 clearly shows that the upcoming 2008 Presidential election campaign will reveal the man of sin that is referred throughout scripture as the Antichrist. Christians it is time for the separation (Wise vs. Foolish) within the body of Christ to occur Matt 25:1-13. The Foolish will have to remain and deal with the crazy man (Antichrist) for 3.5 years. Repent and believe the gospel in these last days. Being wise just means you can exercise common sense, because if it walks like a duck and sounds like a duck no matter how much you camouflage it, the wise will recognize that it is a DUCK! DON’T BE DECEIVED BY THE SMOKE SCREEN OF THIS GREAT IMPOSTER OF CHRIST.

1 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!

2 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:

6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. (See: Prophecy in the News: “Jesus” of Siberia.)

7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. (See: Prophecy in the News: Wars and Rumors of Wars.)

8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. (See: Prophecy in the News: Earthquakes.)

9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. (See: Prophecy in the News: Persecution.)

10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations. (See: Multiple languages: Online Bibles.)

11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. (See: general news.)

13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. (See: Prophecy in the News: Persecution.)

14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: (“And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.” Luke 21:20 & “He will confirm a covenant with many for one ’seven.’ In the middle of the ’seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.” Daniel 9:27) [The “covenant with many for one seven” is a seven-year peace treaty that is to occur between Israel and the Middle East. 3.5 years into this peace treaty, the Anti-Christ is to “set up an abomination that causes desolation.” Is Israel in the midst of a peace treaty? See Israel Fulfilling Biblical Prophecy: Peace.)

15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:

16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.

17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:

22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

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.

28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

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.

33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

34 For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

European Union states will say on Monday they are ready to deepen ties with Israel but will urge the Jewish state to make progress on Middle East peace, diplomats said.

‘Flagrant disregard of Palestinian rights’

The EU upgrade offer is more modest than proposals made last year by Israel which included summits of EU and Israeli leaders, and meetings with EU sectoral ministers on top of the current annual session at foreign minister level

EU foreign ministers are expected to give the green light to the upgrade at talks in Luxembourg, hours before a scheduled meeting there with Israeli counterpart Tzipi Livni.

Diplomats said EU member states had agreed a text on their readiness to enhance ties with Israel in social policy, access to the EU market and regulatory issues, including reference to the need for progress in peace steps with the Palestinians.

The wording of any linkage between moves to deepen ties and progress in the peace process was not immediately available.

Israel currently has a seven-year-old “association agreement” with the 27-member bloc setting out a schedule of political meetings, regulating trade ties and areas of cooperation from internal security to education.

The move comes despite increased criticism from the EU and the United States of Jewish settlement activity in the occupied territories. US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warned on Sunday it could hurt Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations.

Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad wrote to Brussels last month urging the EU not to boost relations with Israel, whose settlements he said were a “flagrant disregard” of Palestinian rights.”

Daniel 9:27

He will confirm a covenant with many for one ’seven.’ In the middle of the ’seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.

“This 7-year period of Daniel begins after the Antichrist signs a peace treaty or covenant with Israel guaranteeing its security. As we read the daily news Israel is getting closer and closer to signing a final peace treaty that may begin the end times and bring the Antichrist onto the world stage.” *
