Who Are Jeremiah's Prophesied Hunters, #2

Category: 

This treatise is on the subject of the “hunters” as found at Jeremiah 16:14-16, especially v. 16:

14 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Yahweh, that it shall no more be said, Yahweh liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 15 But, Yahweh liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers. 16 Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith Yahweh, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.”

Also essential to comprehend is the significance of, “... I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers ...” is not the old land of Palestine, but a different land promised at 2 Sam. 7:10:

Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime ....” So, what is there about “... I will appoint a [new] place ...” and they will “... move no more ...” that we don’t seem to understand? I would also state again the fact to the reader that Jeremiah’s “hunters” carries just as much weight as his “fishers” (i.e., Christ’s chosen disciples)! I will repeat again that the “hunters” are the archaeologists, and they were/are hunting for the same people the fishers were fishing for (i.e., all the lost tribes of Israel)!

Who Are Jeremiah's Prophesied Hunters, #1

Category: 

For those who are unfamiliar with this subject, it is found at Jeremiah 16:14-16, especially v. 16:

14 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Yahweh, that it shall no more be said, Yahweh liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 15 But, Yahweh liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers. 16 Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith Yahweh, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.”

First of all, it is paramount that we establish just where “... the children of Israel from the land of the north ...” is a reference to! Surely, as we shall see, it wasn’t old Palestine. All of this becomes obvious when we consider 2 Sam. 7:10:

Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime ....”

In the time of Samuel, the children of Israel were already located in what the Greeks later called Palestine, so the phrase “... and will plant them ...” has to refer to some place other than Palestine! Not only were the children of Israel to be planted some place other than Palestine, but when they had finally settled down in that new location they would “... move no more ...”! Hence, all this malarkey about the Edomite-Israeli-jews returning to the Holy Land, and fulfilling prophecy is nothing more than a nauseating discharge of feces!

The "Little Horn" of Daniel 7:8

Category: 

To begin our subject, we must understand there are two “little horns” in the book of Daniel, (1) the catholic pope, and (2) Mohammed. The following is what I stated in WTL #55: “In WTL #54 for October, 2002, we discussed the ‘little horn’ of Daniel 8:9. As I had pointed out, the ‘little horn’ in that passage is not the same as the ‘little horn’ of Daniel 7:8. How often have you read or heard someone referring to the ‘little horn’ of Daniel, but they never indicate which ‘little horn’ of Daniel they are talking about? To many, both ‘little horns’ are the same entity in their reasoning, and that simply is not true. To comprehend where we are on our walk through Daniel, you will need back issue #’s 49, 53 & 54. In lesson #54, we established that the ‘little horn’ of Daniel 8:9 was Mohammed.” With this paper we will consider only the ‘little horn’ of Daniel 7:8. This is imperative to grasp the book of Revelation.

The Problems With Ezekiel 38 And 39 & The Prophetic Attack Of Russia On The United States

Category: 

 By: Clifton A. Emahiser

The following is an article which I wrote in 1995. I wrote it on a Canon StarWriter #70. I just recently learned how to transfer materials written on the Canon StarWriter to my computer. The Canon StarWriter only had enough memory for about five and one half pages of writing. I originally had to write this article in five segments because of this. Since transferring it to my present computer, I now have it in one complete article. In transferring it, I lost all my underlining and bold print among other things, but just saving the main text saved me a lot of typing. After a five year period of time, I found things which I desired to change, so the following article will not be exactly as I originally wrote it. I originally entitled it simply The Problems With Ezekiel 38 And 39. I decided, with this writing, to change the title as you see it above.

If we are to understand this portion of the Bible, we are going to have to know who, what, when, where, why and how all of this Prophesy fits together. The first thing that has to be established is, WHO? For if we cannot establish who, the entire Prophesy will be an enigma, it will be a total mystery. I will try to establish beyond all doubt, with materials that have been established before me, as to who the who is. I am going to quote quite extensively from The Russian Chapters Of Ezekiel by one Rev. W. M. H. Milner. The articles first appeared in The National Message, published in London, England in the weekly issues of May and June, 1923. It was printed again as a Fifth Edition by Destiny Publishers, Haverhill, Massachusetts, in 1941. While this booklet is very good at establishing the who of Ezekiel 38 and 39, some of the conclusions at the end are probably incorrect. The booklet is a must for studying these two chapters, and can still be obtained from Destiny Publishers, P. O. Box 177, Merrimac, Massachusetts, 01860-0177 for $2.50 plus postage. I will be quoting also from other authors and commentators on these two chapters. After we have established some of the necessary background, we will speculate just where and maybe when this great battle may take place.

The Broken-Bottle Nation

Category: 

For the title of this brochure, I searched for a special font to impress upon the reader that the subject being addressed is indeed about “the broken-bottle nation”. I found an appropriate font named Matisse ITC, and you will notice how shattered it appears. I could have used other synonyms for “broken”, such as “totaled”, “finished”, “ruined”, “destroyed”, “smashed”, “wrecked”, “demolished”, “shivered”, “fractured”, “splintered”, “spent”, “expended”, “terminated”, “crushed”, “shattered”, “pulverized”, “dashed”, “consumed”, etc. I would like the reader to grasp that we are addressing something that cannot be salvaged, restored, renovated, rehabilitated, rejuvenated, reinstated or revived in any way, shape, manner or form. That it’s totally defunct, extinct, dead, never to be resurrected. Yet the majority of pastors fail to understand as much!

What we are talking about here is Jeremiah’s prophecy at 19:1-11, which reads: 1 Thus saith Yahweh, Go and get a potter’s earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests; 2 And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee, 3 And say, Hear ye the word of Yahweh, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle. 4 Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents; 5 They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind: 6 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Yahweh, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter. 7 And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth. 8 And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof. 9 And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them. 10 Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee, 11 And shalt say unto them, Thus saith Yahweh of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter’s vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury.”

Old Jerusalem Shall Never Rise Again

I know that this is not the favored view among today’s lethargic clergy. I also know that the majority of the religious hierarchy make the claim that the people migrating to Palestine today calling themselves “Israel” are a fulfillment of prophecy. But in order to make such a declaration, it is necessary to make the prophet Jeremiah a liar, for he prophesied just the opposite, and Yahshua Christ Himself upheld Jeremiah by cursing the barren fig tree. Furthermore, He told those usurpers: “Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof”, Matt. 21:43. What was the nation to which the kingdom would be given? And is the Almighty an Indian-giver to take the kingdom back from that nation to which the kingdom was “given” and award it to the usurpers? I say “usurpers”, as the people claiming to be “Judahites” or “Israelites” immigrating to Palestine today are by-and-large a hodgepodge mixture of Edomite, Canaanite and Kenite extraction who have mingled themselves with many other races over the centuries. Those calling themselves “Jews” are neither Israel nor Judah! They are not the legitimate descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob! Actually, the Kenite admixture which these people have flowing in their veins goes back to one of their progenitors, Cain, and that makes them literally the children of Satan! And I will go one step further; anyone who says otherwise than I have stated here, is a false prophet and will reap a reward of wood, hay or stubble, 1 Cor. 3:12!

Who Are The Hunters?

Why Doesn’t Your Pastor Ever Speak Of Them? 

[A notice to the reader: You will find this article posted on several websites crediting it Willie Martin as the author. That is not true, for I am the author. Willie used to be on my mailing list before he died and he could type about 107 words a minute, and when he received my mailing he would type out my brochures and parts of my Watchman Teaching Letters and attach them to E-mails. Willie Martin was a plagiarizer and passed on my and many other writer’s works as his own. I checked the date on my computer when I first formatted this document into brochure form, and it is registered as December 19, 2000. Since that time I have circulated hundreds, if not over a thousand, of these brochures to people on my mailing list. How then, can Willie Martin write any article under the same title that I gave to it? To do so is highly unethical! The childrenofyahweh website has been very honest with me by posting my material the way I wrote it. I have given permission for people to copy my material freely or order it from me at a cost lower than they could copy it themselves. There is one place that I draw the line though. I do not give permission to anyone to add to my articles nor to subtract from them, but to reproduce them word for word exactly as I wrote them. I insist that anyone who wants to post any of my articles on the Net, post them word for word as I have written them or not post them at all! Let’s now continue.]

 

Did you know while the Holy Bible speaks of “fishers” it also speaks of “hunters” in the very same verse? If you are unfamiliar with this pregnant fact, I will quote it from Jeremiah 16:16:

 

“Behold I will send for many fishers, saith Yahweh, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.”

 

Have you ever wondered why your pastor emphasizes with very much intensity and vigor the subject of the “fishers”, and never so much as mentions the “hunters”? It’s as though the Bible had never mentioned the topics of the “fishers” and “hunters” in the same verse! Have you ever asked your pastor why he never mentions the “hunters” in all his lengthy and seemingly detailed sermons? After all, your pastor graduated from seminary and knows all of this, right? Of course, it is probably just a slight oversight on his part that he has never taken the time to explain this to you, right? Or, maybe, he has so many other more important things to dwell on, he simply does not have time for the insignificant “hunters.” Has your pastor ever used Jeremiah 16:16 for his text?

Early Rain vs. Latter Rain

Category: 

 

Unless one finds the origin of a subject, one will invariably arrive at illogical conclusions. Such is the nature of the theme we are about to illustrate. In fact, it would be difficult to find another topic so nearly wrenched out of shape. We find reference to this topic at James 5:7: Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Master. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.”

Here the early and latter rain represent firstly the rain of seed time at planting and secondly the rain of ripening before the harvest: the first fell in Judaea about the beginning of our November after the seed was sown; the second toward the end of our April as the ears began filling out in preparation for the full harvest, as their crops developed during the winter and early spring. It is obvious that this passage typifies the beginning of the ekklesia period and extends until the time of Yahshua’s Second Advent, with a long dry season between the two rains. Most good farmers are aware that a moderate dry spell after the seed has been planted can be beneficial, causing the plants to develop a vigorous root system so that when the rains finally come the crop will produce an abundant yield.

This may be a strange way to look back on the history of the ekklesia, but this is what James and the prophets before him were alluding to. The reader needs to differentiate between the early and latter rain, as each are different in their respective nature. In other words, we are not instructed to reenact the events at the Day of Pentecost as a pattern of our worship. While there were miraculous phenomena at Pentecost, as recorded in Acts (such as speaking in tongues), it was only an earnest (down payment) of the Spirit. At the Day of Pentecost there were gathered many good-fig-Judahites from many lands speaking diverse languages, and a miracle was provided in both the speaking and the hearing for that event to be a success. The present-day Pentecostal and charismatic movements have made a mockery of the original happenings recorded at Acts 2. Nor do the present-day Pentecostals and charismatics allude to Old Testament passages in order to explain why a Pentecost in the first place. Pentecost in the Old Testament was a feast day mandated for Israelites only, whereas today’s Pentecostals and charismatics invite every unclean race to gather with them.

Daniel Prophesied The Roman Catholic Church

Category: 

This is not a treatise to condemn anyone who was born and raised in Catholicism. I would say from the start that some of the Catholics I have known are among the finest hardworking, moral and honest people I have dealt with. Not only that, but there are a few Roman Catholics who have exposed the great Jewish” conspiracy, such as William Guy Carr, Charles E. Coughlin and other conservative Catholics who weren’t afraid to speak out and take a stand for justice, for whom I have the highest respect. Neither is this a composition to gloss over Protestantism, for Protestantism is nothing more than warmed-over Catholicism. I view these religious systems as stages we’ve gone through in our deserved Israelite punishment of seven times, or 2,520 years since being taken captive by Assyria. Rather, this theme is a brief effort to determine how we have arrived at where we now stand.

Daniel prophesied at Dan. 7:24-25: 24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. 25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.”

You will notice that this earthly power was to last until a time and times and the dividing of time”. A time” in Scripture is 360 years, so this amounts to 360+720+180 or 1260 years, not 3½ calendar years as some maintain. Since this exceeds man’s life span, it is not speaking of one individual man, but there are key men involved.

Death of a Kingdom and Rebirth of Another

Category: 

UPDATED  July 1,  2006 

You may be wondering: Why the above title? As you will see later, the words are well chosen. It is a subject where, for a lack of thorough study, many find themselves completely bewildered. To study the New Testament without first mastering the content of the Old is like building a house without a foundation. So it is with the topic we are about to take under consideration. The Death Of A Kingdom & Rebirth Of Anotheris a New Testament fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. Because of men’s fanciful reasoning, and without being thoroughly established in the whole Word, it is simply amazing the baseless doctrines which have been concocted with the 24th chapter of Matthew. It is the objective here, once we have exhaustively examined this passage, we will never again have any misgivings concerning this and related Scripture. The premise for the 24th chapter of Matthew is laid in the passages as follows:

Jeremiah 26:18: “Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith Yahweh of hosts; Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.” (Covered with trees instead of houses.)

Micah 3:12: “Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.”

You may be wondering: What do these two verses have to do with Matthew 24, anyway? To show the significance, I will present a running verse by verse commentary of this chapter. Before we get started, though, we need to take under advisement three different views of prophecy: (1) Futurists, who project all prophecy into the future, (2) Praeterists who claim all prophecy was fulfilled by 70 A.D., and, (3) Historicists, who see prophecy as a continuing unfolding panorama. Upon the first Bibles being circulated during the Reformation, the Roman Church was seen as anti-Christ. To avoid the heat, one Jesuit priest projected prophecy forward and another Jesuit priest projected it into the past. The “Futurists” hold the last week of Daniel’s 70 weeks prophecy was never fulfilled; they chop it off from the other 69 weeks and propel the last week 2000 years into the future when they predict (1) a “rapture”, and then, (2) either a three and a half or seven year period of tribulation representing Daniel’s 70th week. We need to know all this because these various opinions affect the interpretations of Matthew 24.
