Descendants of Abraham Pt. IX: The Last Great
Famine
Introduction
Abraham was given and obeyed the entire structure of the Laws of God (L1) as were his sons given the Law. The Covenant Relationship was passed down to all those sons and the responsibility for the maintenance of the Law was vested in Isaac and Jacob and in Israel as the priests of the Covenant.
We see the sequence and roles explained in the texts on the Descendants of Abraham Part I: Sons of Shem (No. 212A).
The roles and locations of Lot, Ammon, Moab and Edom are in No. 212B.
The location and role of Ishmael are at No. 212C. This text also identifies the genealogy of the Prophet.
Israel was sent into captivity to develop them as a nation in Egypt. Moses was taken out when he was forty years and sent into Midian where he was trained in the Laws of God under Jethro, priest of Midian, which was the tribe of the Son of Abraham by Keturah, his last wife. This training was to prepare him for the Exodus and to develop the Law as given to him by the Angel of the Presence who became the Messiah.
The locations and dispersal of the Sons of Keturah are at No. 212D.
The Covenant of God (No. 152) was also established through Abraham along with the Laws of God. It had been established through Noah after the flood and been taught to all the sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, but they had been corrupted at Babel under the influence of Satan and the demons as we saw above in Mysticism (B7A).
It was God’s plan that all mankind would be subject to the Law and the Testimony and that all nations were to be brought into the Law and the Covenant through the Messiah. He, as the Angel of the Presence, was sent to restore the Law in Israel after the Captivity through Moses and then to establish them in the Promised Land under their tribes. They were taught the Law and the Testimony and, every time they sinned, the people were sent into captivity or punished severely. The establishment of the Law and the subversion of the Law and the Covenant under Satan occurred continually as we saw in the text at Part VIII: The Thirteen Famines of Rebellion (No. 212H).
Despite the works of the Prophets and the Patriarchs being committed to writing as the Word of God and as Scripture and not being able to be broken (Jn 10:34-36), Satan began to attack the Covenant Relationship on a continual basis through false religions and sin in breach of the Law (cf. The Doctrine of Balaam and Balaam’s Prophecy (No. 204)).
After the Rule of David (No. 282B) and the Rule of Solomon with the Key of David (No. 282C), which has symbolism in the Plan of Salvation, the expansion of the Covenant was to be established through the division of Israel into the Kingdom of Judah (No. 212E) and the Kingdom of Israel (No. 212F).
Israel was established among the Hittite Celts and Scythian Celts north of the Araxes from 722 BCE. They remained there until the Church had been established under the Messiah at Jerusalem. They were reached and trained by the apostles of the Seventy (cf. Establishment of the Church under the Seventy (No. 122D)). After the defeat of the Parthian Empire, they then moved into Western Europe and on into Britain and Scandinavia, with the Vandals into North Africa from Spain.
The Covenant and the Law were never to be done away or altered and the Scriptures were protected except for the alterations as explained in Forgeries and Additions/Mistranslations in the Bible (No. 164F) and also by false doctrines taught in contradiction of the Scriptural Texts by the Sun and Mystery Cult system of the Triune and Binitarian and Mother goddess system across Europe and Asia and into the Americas (cf. also Origin of Christmas and Easter (No. 235)).
The Covenant was modified only in that the sacrificial aspect of the Law was to be fulfilled in Christ as the Passover Lamb. This aspect was detailed and understood by the various congregations of the Covenant people as seen in the text Distinction in the Law (No. 096).
With the incarnation of the Messiah the Covenant was again explained to the faith, as was the application of the Law, and that not one jot or tittle, not a stop or comma, would pass from the Law until heaven and earth pass away, as it proceeds from the Nature of God (cf. First and Second Statements of the Covenant of God (No. 096B)).
The aspect of Grace was applied to the Law also after the Holy Spirit (No. 117) was granted to the Church of God. That aspect is explained in the text The Relationship between Salvation by Grace and the Law (No. 082). That was always the Plan of God from the beginning. The purpose is to enable man to become elohim under the Plan of Salvation (cf. Rule of the Kings Part IIIB: Man as the Temple of God (No. 282D)).
It does not, however, diminish the responsibility to follow and keep the Law and the Testimony (Isa. 8:20) as anyone that does not speak according to the Law and the Testimony has no light in them.
The Covenant of God was also, through the Messiah and the Church, extended to the Gentiles and all mankind was destined then in all nations to be brought into the Faith and the Nation of Israel as the inheritance of the Messiah. The faith was extended in the Churches of God as we saw in 122D above into the nations of the world and particularly to the other sons of Abraham and their heresies were exposed and then they were retaught. These aspects are explained in the texts of Christianity and Islam in the Covenant of God (No. 096C).
In each case the Law and the Covenant were attacked and the faith was destroyed through false doctrine and the Antinomianism of the Sun and Mystery Cults. These aspects are explained in the papers:
Antinomian Destruction of Christianity by Misuse of Scripture (No. 164C);
Antinomian Attacks on the Law of God (164D); and
Antinomian Denial of Baptism (No. 164E).
The Law and the Covenant are tied together in both Scripture and the Koran (S4:154) through the Fourth Commandment (No. 256), under the Plan of God. That is further explained in the text:
Antinomian Attacks on the Covenant of God (096D).
Anyone that does not keep the Seventh Day Sabbath and the Temple Calendar is an infidel of the Sun Cults. So also is one who believes that when the die they go to “Heaven,” an infidel of the Sun and Mystery Cults (cf. Heaven, Hell or the First Resurrection of the Dead (No. 143A)).
The Nation of Israel was punished continually for breach of the Law and the Covenant and ultimately Judah was sent into dispersion and captivity under the Sign of Jonah (No. 013).
God will order the restoration of the Law and the Covenant over the entire planet and Satan and the Demons will go into the Pit of Tartaros. The False Religions of the Demonic Host will be exterminated under the Wars of the End Part I: Wars of Amalek (No. 141C); Wars of the End Part II: 1260 Days of the Witnesses (No. 141D); Wars of the End Part III: Armageddon and the Vials of the Wrath of God (No. 141E).
Over these last days the wars will be fought against Christ to prevent the end of Satan’s rule (cf. Wars of the End Part IIIB: War against Christ (No. 141E_2)).
It is through the Wars of the End and against the Messiah that we will see the end of all false religion (cf. Wars of the End Part IV: The End of False Religion (No. 141F)).
We are already in the Last Days and we have gone through the Seven Seals (No. 140) and are now into the period of the Seven Trumpets (No. 141).
The Measuring of the Temple (No. 137) began in 1987.
The Warning of the Last Days (No. 044) as prophesied under Jeremiah 4:15-27 has already commenced from 1994 for the period of the thirty years to the end of the Wars in 2024. This phase will see the destruction of the planet.
It is in this period of the Last Days from the Wars of the Fifth and War of the Sixth Trumpets (cf. 141C above) that we begin the intervention of God and the sending of the Two Witnesses (141D above) and then the Messiah as above (141E and 141E_2).
Over half the world will be killed in the wars, and the plagues of the Trumpets.
These wars and plagues will set up the destruction of the planet that will result in the Last Great Famine referred to in the Abraham series in (No. 212H above) and which we will now explain more fully and show what is to happen to the False Religions and the corrupted Churches of God of Sardis and Laodicea.
Sin as Transgression of the Law in the
Last Days
The false religions of the Sun and Mystery Cults have taught the elimination of the Law and the Temple or God’s Calendar (No. 156). Modern Judah and the two main Church of God systems of Sardis and Laodicea (Rev. Chapter 3) have been corrupted completely by the post Temple Calendar of Hillel II issued in 358 CE and modified by Maimonedes in the Twelfth century (cf. Hillel, The Babylonian Intercalations and the Temple Calendar (No. 195C)). They have the dubious distinction of never keeping a Holy Day on the correct days except by accident in all of their existence. They refuse to repent and they will be punished and their ministry removed.
So also will the offshoot of the Jehovah’s Witnesses under the Watchtower and Bible Tract Society that teaches that the Law of God is done away and the calendar does not have to be kept be eliminated. That will be effected under the Witnesses and the Messiah (cf. False Prophesy (No. 269)).
The Baal Worshipping Sun system has taken over the Christian Faith almost in its entirety over the Forty Jubilees since the declaration and establishment of the Church in 27 CE by Messiah. The Church in the Middle East as developed by the apostles and prophets was destroyed by the worshippers of Baal or Hubal from Mecca after the Koran was issued and the death of the Prophet and Ali and Hussein. The Law and the Covenant were destroyed in their spheres of influence (cf. http://ccg.org/islam/quran.html).
See
also the place of Christianity and Islam in
the Covenant of God (No. 096C).
These
attacks are also listed in Antinomian Attacks on the
Covenant of God (No. 096D).
The
result of these satanic attacks on the Covenant have alienated the Covenant
people from God except in the last church system (cf. Pillars of
Philadelphia (No. 283)). Every nation of the Covenant people and the
Gentiles seeking acceptance under the Covenant, through the Grace of God, have
been deceived and diverted to and by False Religion. The result is that the nations
are diverted by infant baptism and Antinomian doctrines en masse and they are
in a complete state of sin through their transgression of the Law of God (1Jn.
3:4).
They
are murdering their young in the millions and passing them through the fire to
Molech. They have established the pagan calendar and made it impossible to obey
God and keep His system. All holidays are on days of human sacrifice and the
worst in that regard is the USA (cf. Satan’s Days of
Worship (CB023)).
They
are bombing other nations for profit and killing one another and establishing
unjust governments. They are now moving to establish the New World Order (NWO)
of the ten economic regions of the Ten Toes of Daniel chapter 2 which is the
last phase before Messiah strikes this idol on the toes and topples it forever.
Unless the world repents very few of those deceived by the False Religions, even in the Churches of God, will enter the First Resurrection and most will be sent to the Second Resurrection (No. 143B).
Commencement of the Droughts
Because the Covenant has been set aside and the lie has been given out and willingly accepted, and the world has engaged in wilful abortion and infanticide and robbery and murder and breached the commandments of God in total and enabled Same Sex Marriage and every other abomination, God has commenced the process of Global Warming and the Sun has been given to begin its normal cycles for this next 500 odd year warm period. The wars will accelerate the process. The droughts commenced from 2016 and in some parts of AU earlier.
The
low rainfall will be allowed to continue to bring our people to repentance.
After the wars, which will have seen the rivers run dry and turn to blood with
the algal blooms, God will then begin the intervention.
The
Witnesses (135 and 141D) will commence
the droughts in earnest and they will shut the heavens for the duration of
their prophecy. They will also bring fire down from heaven on mankind and
inflict the plagues of Egypt on them over the period.
Modern
Judaism and the Sardis and Laodicean eras will be driven to their knees. Unless
they repent they will die.
So
also the world will be faced with subsequent absolute shortages of food and
water such that multitudes will die due to the misinformation given to them by
their false prophets and corrupt ministries.
The
oceans will die; a third under the Trumpets due to the wars and nuclear
disasters, and then finally through the Vials of the Wrath of God (141E).
The
grasslands and forests will burn in fires; again a third under the Trumpets and
all of them under the Vials.
None
of this need happen if we turn to God and abandon our False Religions and keep
the Covenant under the Laws of God and the Faith and Testimony of Jesus Christ
(Rev. 12:17; 14:12). We will not repent and it will take the Messiah and the
Heavenly Host to reduce the world to its knees.
As
we saw in Part VIII: The Thirteen
Famines of Rebellion (No. 212H), in the Last Days before 2027 there
will be a great famine both in Spirit and in fact.
There
will be a famine of the Word of God, which is already being replaced by the
wailing of Amos in temples to false religion and in speaking gibberish, and
through the unification of Christianity through the harlot daughters of the
Whore as prophesied in Revelation.
The
conflict with Islam will be used to unify the West under the false religion and
the Antichrist system called the Beast Power. Thus we will see two Antichrist
systems emerge in the Last Days. One will be what Nostradamus calls the Third
Antichrist, who will emerge from the Middle Eastern conflicts. The other
Antichrist will be the false prophet, slain by Christ at his coming, who will
emerge from the Beast Power itself. It is perhaps ironic that the symbol
of the First Antichrist (so termed by Nostradamus) was the honeybee hive, as we
will see.
The
Mother Goddess cult, the god that women adore, is the ultimate aim of the
Babylonian world religion under Satan. It will be used in an attempt to unite
the world and all its religions. Human freedoms will disappear under the Beast
system.
As
we saw, the famine of the Last Days will be induced by war and technology, and
by God’s wrath to bring the world to repentance.
The
biggest single cause of the famines will be man-made and may be quite apart
from the causes of Global Warming, except for solar radiation. If mankind does
not reorganise and manage electromagnetic communication and decentralise power
systems, as well as limit or ban most genetically modified crops, the world’s
entire bee population may well be destroyed. The entire agricultural production
in all developed countries will collapse and mass starvation will follow from
what was called Fall Dwindle Disease, when it first occurred in the
northern autumn of 2006, but is now more appropriately recognized as Colony
Collapse Disorder, or CCD. This collapse occurs in robust hives in a matter
of weeks and up to 90% simply die or disappear and none of the other bees or
predators will go near the hives. Something is toxic in the hives and thus we
are dealing with some disorder that is being passed through the honey itself
also.
The
research work being undertaken in the increasing disasters is dealt with in
more details in 212H above. As we said there, the answer is that it is all of
those problems. We are killing our bees through stress caused by pollution and
transport, and weakened crops; and the increases in solar output increase the
stress levels and disorientation.
The
bees’ resistance is lowered by drought, as the low pollen production makes them
more vulnerable to these disorders and they become stressed. Transport adds to
the problem. We are adding to the stress again by affecting the pollens, and
the crops are being genetically modified, which also affects the bees.
Virtually one third of all food production is bee dependent.
Migratory
beekeepers may well help to spread the disorder.
Pesticides
are a major cause of the problem in commercial crops.
Global
Warming will be in fact induced by God through solar activity. Man’s activities
merely exacerbate it (see also the paper Global Warming and Bible Prophecy
(No. 218)). We know that it is a cyclical problem caused by Solar activity
in 500 odd year cycles (cf. Global Warming-Historical
Cycles (No. 218B)).
God
will remove the Whore of Babylon and bring the Earth to its knees in famine,
and by the sword. That will not cease now until all is accomplished. War and
famine will not depart until Messiah subjugates the false systems of the Earth
ruling under the Antichrist. These activities will increase now until 2025.
The
same problems and punishments as foretold by God through Jeremiah in chapter 15
will occur again.
Jeremiah 15:1-3 Then the LORD said to me,
"Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my heart would not turn
toward this people. Send them out of my sight, and let them go! 2And when they ask you, `Where
shall we go?' you shall say to them, `Thus says the LORD: "Those who are
for pestilence, to pestilence, and those who are for the sword, to the sword; those
who are for famine, to famine, and those who are for captivity, to
captivity."' 3"I
will appoint over them four kinds of destroyers, says the LORD: the sword to
slay, the dogs to tear, and the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth to
devour and destroy.
Only in this era the entire world is to be dealt with and then
removed and they themselves are all polluted. God will deal with them as He
said through Jeremiah (15:19ff.)
Jeremiah 15:19-21 Therefore thus says the LORD: "If you return, I will restore you, and you shall stand before me. If you utter what is precious, and not what is worthless, you shall be as my mouth. They shall turn to you, but you shall not turn to them. 20And I will make you to this people a fortified wall of bronze; they will fight against you, but they shall not prevail over you, for I am with you to save you and deliver you, says the LORD. 21I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless."
So shall the servants of God be upheld over this period and they will go into the First Resurrection at the return of the Messiah.
All
the punishments foretold in the Blessings and the Curses of the Pentateuch will
be inflicted on all nations as they come under judgment (see the paper The
Blessings and the Curses (No. 075) and also The Witnesses (including the Two
Witnesses) (No. 135)).
In
the end, the seed of the woman will come in great power to save those who
eagerly await him, as foretold in Revelation (see the papers The Seven Seals (No. 140);
The Seven Trumpets (No.
141); Advent of
the Messiah: Part I (No. 210A) and Advent of the Messiah: Part II
(No. 210B)). See also 141C, 141D, 141E and 141E_2 as
above.
The
Church will be gathered to him to rule from Jerusalem for a thousand years in
the millennial system.
The
nations will continue to suffer until they are brought into submission and
repentance, and into peace under the worship of the One True God.
There
will never again be a Great World Famine but there will be local famines to
enforce the Laws of God and the Calendar on the nations that do not keep the
Feasts and send their representatives to Jerusalem (Zech. 14:16-19). That
action will occur throughout the Millennium. World famine will be eliminated
from the Treble harvest after the advent of the Messiah. However, the
Calendar and the Law entirely will be enforced throughout the Millennium and
the Second Resurrection. No one will claim it is done away without immediate
retribution from the leaders and the multitude of mankind that are living in
peace and security under it.
Every
person will keep the Sabbaths and the New Moons or they will die as we are told
in Isaiah 66.23.
