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. Isaiah 41:4
Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am He.
In Isaiah 46:10, God stated that He “declared the end from the beginning”, as well as “things that were not yet done”.
What this literally means is, that God not only declared the TIME of the end from the beginning, (meaning the 7 day creation story), but also that the creation story itself is actually prophetic.
A Translation could read:
From the beginning I revealed the end. From long ago I told you things that had not yet happened, saying, “My plan will stand, and I’ll do everything I intended to do.”
Are the end times upon us? According to those keeping a close eye on the strange happenings in Israel, the answer might well be “yes.”
Predictions about the end of the world seem to appear every time there is an unusual celestial phenomenon, such as a lunar eclipse/blood moon or a comet’s arrival,
but the notable signs in Israel are both more common and more bizarre.
Rabbis and prophecy watchers in Israel have been abuzz over several events which all took place at the end of 2018, they see them as positive signs of Messiah’s soon coming. MMM is not affirming that connection here, however, the signs are interesting enough to sit up and take note.
The 1st of the these strange occurrences was the birth of the first red heifer in 2,000 years on 5th sept 2018.
Many will be purified and purged and refined; the wicked will act wickedly and none of the wicked will understand; but the knowledgeable will understand. Daniel 12:10
The red heifer is described in the Book of Numbers.
“This is the ritual law that Hashem has commanded: Instruct B’nei Yisrael to bring you a red cow without blemish, in which there is no defect and on which no yoke has been laid. Numbers 19:2
One of the commands given to Israel in the Law of Moses requires the birth of the “Parah Adumah”, the red heifer. The sacrifice of the red heifer is to bring purification.
Red heifers are mentioned in rabbinic speculation concerning the end times. The birth of a red heifer, many believe, will herald the building of the Third Temple. Some Christians believe that such an event will herald the second coming of Messiah Jesus/Yeshua.
One week after it’s birth the calf in question was given an “extensive examination” to see if she was actually “blemish free” as is specified in the Bible.
According to end times literature, the red calf “brings the promise of reinstating Biblical purity to the world” paving the way for re-establishing the Temple service and marking the final stage of redemption. It will be sacrificed prior to the construction of the Third Temple in Jerusalem.
Rabbinical experts have found that the calf is without blemish as defined by Scripture and thus is a ‘viable candidate for the Biblical red heifer.’
The event was being heralded as the first verified birth of a red heifer in two thousand years.
According to Jewish tradition, there will only be 10 red heifers in human history with the 10th heifer ushering in the Messianic era.
Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon (Maimonides), the most renowned medieval Jewish scholar known by the acronym Rambam, wrote in his explanation of the mitzvah that “the tenth red heifer will be accomplished by the king, the Messiah; may he be revealed speedily, Amen, May it be God’s will.”
Rabbi Chaim Richman, the International Director of the Temple Institute, commented on this on their website.
“If there has been no red heifer for the past 2,000 years, perhaps it is because the time was not right; Israel was far from being ready. But now… what could it mean for the times we live in, to have the means for purification so close at hand? With the words of Maimonides in mind, we cannot help but wonder and pray: If there are now red heifers… is ours the era that will need them?”
The laws pertaining to the mitzvah are myriad and considered by the sages to be the archetypal chok, an inexplicable Torah commandment accepted solely on faith.
For believers we know that Messiah Jesus/Yeshua has fulfilled the mystery of this chok.

Before entering the land of Israel after the Exodus, the heifer was burned outside of the camp. In the days of the Temple, the heifer was taken to the Mount of Olives across a causeway built specifically for this purpose to ensure that there was no inadvertent contact with areas along the way that may have been contaminated by dead bodies.
Cedarwood, hyssop, and wool or yarn dyed scarlet are added to the fire, and the remaining ashes are placed in a vessel containing spring water to purify a person who has become ritually contaminated by contact with a corpse.
Water from the vessel is sprinkled on the subject, using a bunch of hyssop, on the third and seventh day of the purification process. The priest who performs the ritual then becomes ritually unclean, and must then wash himself and his clothes in running waters. He is deemed impure until evening.
No less stringent than the laws pertaining to the heifer are the laws pertaining to the site where the heifer is burned. Almost 30 years ago, Rabbi Yonatan Adler, who is also an archaeologist, performed an in-depth study into the textual references to the site where the red heifer was burned, publishing his results in the Torah journal.
His calculations, based on the Holy of Holies being located where the Dome of the Rock stands today, led him to a spot where Dominus Flevit, a Catholic Church built in 1955, now stands. Archaeological surveys discovered unique characteristics of the site that corresponded to descriptions in the Talmud.
The 2nd oddity in Israel has baffled scientists across the world.
The Dead Sea is known for its overwhelming salinity; (Hebrew: יָם הַמֶּלַח Yam ha-Melah lit. Sea of Salt; Arabic: البحر الميت Al-Bahr al-Mayyit) is a salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east and Israel and the West Bank to the west. It lies in the Jordan Rift Valley, and its main tributary is the Jordan River.
The extraordinary abundance of salt in the water makes it both a popular tourist destination and an environment that is completely inhospitable to almost every form of life on the planet.
The Dead Sea is 377 m (1,237 ft) deep, making it the deepest hypersaline lake in the world. A hypersaline lake is a landlocked body of water that contains significant concentrations of sodium chloride or other mineral salts, with saline levels nearly 10 times the salt of the ocean, life in its brine is largely unknown.
On the shores of the Dead Sea – more than 400 meters below sea level – are freshwater sinkholes, created as a result of dropping water levels. A young woman on a nature hike was shocked recently when she discovered freshwater ponds with fish on the shores of the Dead Sea.
The sinkholes around its edges, have inexplicably been filled with fish!! An incongruous sight with powerful implications: a prophecy appearing before her eyes that seemed to contradict the laws of nature.
Where the fish have come from is unknown, and they have been joined by the return of vegetation to the otherwise barren area.
The Bible, however, describes a very different picture of the region. Lot looked out on the valley where the Dead Sea is now and saw an incredibly fertile and well-watered region.
And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before Hashem destroyed Sdom and Gomorrah like the garden of Hashem. Genesis 13:10 (The Israel Bible)
The Bible relates that the landscape changed when the fire and brimstone destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah turned the valley into a wasteland. Indeed, people who visit the Dead Sea today would find it difficult to envision a garden in the arid region.
This fits the prophets Zechariah and Ezekiel’s claims that the Dead Sea and the area around it would flourish with life before the world came to an end.
“And it shall come to pass in that day that living waters shall go out from Yerushalayim: half of them toward the eastern sea and half of them toward the western sea; in summer and in winter shall it be.” Zechariah 14:8 (The Israel Bible™)
Then said he unto me: ‘These waters issue forth toward the eastern region and shall go down into the Arabah; and when they shall enter into the sea into the sea of the putrid waters the waters shall be healed. And it shall come to pass that every living creature wherewith it swarmeth whithersoever the rivers shall come shall live; and there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters are come thither that all things be healed and may live whithersoever the river cometh. Ezekiel 47:8-9 (The Israel Bible)
In the Book of Ezekiel, the prophet speaks of what will take place in the last days.
The Jewish people will be regathered from the ends of the earth back to the land of Israel.
The Temple will be rebuilt.
And water will flow from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea.
As it flows, it will bring life from death and fish will swim in the waters of the Dead Sea. Fish have never been spotted in the Dead Sea… that is, apparently, until the end of 2018.
The 3rd eerie happening in Israel is enough to send shivers down the spine!
At around the same time of the birth of the red heifer, while Jewish people were praying at the Western Wall, a very different creature appeared.
A snake began slithering out from the stones in the Western Wall, interrupting the prayers being offered there. As the serpent is a creature often associated with evil, the event, the first of its kind to be recorded, sparked off more speculation concerning ‘dangerous times’ and the coming of Messiah.
Understandably, worshipers there at the time were in shock as it is one of Israel’s holiest sites.
Is A Snake Appearing From Temple Mount Connected to the Messiah and Third Temple?
The snake was identified as a coin-marked snake, or leaden-colored racer, and it was not a small specimen either.
Rough estimates place it at over three feet long.
There is something ominous about the unexpected appearance of the animal so often associated with evil in the Bible in a place that is meant to be filled with worship.
Let them lick dust like snakes, Like crawling things on the ground! Let them come trembling out of their strongholds To Hashem our God; Let them fear and dread You! Micah 7:17 (The Israel Bible™)
The incident is considered the 3rd sign of the approaching Apocalypse.
The snake crawled out of the stones at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem and frightened the dove it was trying to catch which was sitting on the wall.

According to Torah scholars, prophecy considered to be of EPIC PROPORTION has been fulfilled!
When this snake came wriggling out from between the stones of the Western Wall it brought with it a message straight from Jewish mystical teachings; connecting the archetypal enemy of man with the High Priest in the Temple, and also, perhaps, serving as a harbinger of the Messiah.
Scholars noted as it flew away and found refuge within the rocks of the wall, so must the Jews remain close to their TORAH as evil closes in on the world..
Just as the dove is safe so long as it seeks shelter among the stones of the Temple Mount, the Jews are protected by the Torah commandments. When the dove comes out from the stones or the the Jews move away from the Torah, they are in danger.
Torah scholars also claimed the appearance of a snake coming out of the stones of the Temple Mount could be seen as an auspicious sign. In gematria (Hebrew numerology) nachash (snake) נחש equals 358, the same as Moshiach (Messiah) משיח. An explanation is that the evil inclination, personified by the snake in Eden, will make a resurgence in the days before Messiah appears as holiness also increases in the world in the end-of-days.
Another connection between the lowly snake and holiness is implicit in the Hebrew words.
The letters of the word nachash can be rearranged to spell choshen (breastplate), worn by the Kohen Gadol (high priest) in the Temple. It is stated that the tikkun (fixing) of the snake would be accomplished in the Third Temple by way of the breastplate. Embedded in the breastplate were 12 precious stones, each representing a tribe of Israel. When faced with a difficult situation, the kings of Israel could inquire and the stones of the breastplate would shine in sequence, providing them with a divine response to their question. This was a Tikkun for the snake which gave a deceitful response to Eve.
The appearance of the snake was not the first frightening incident to take place at the Wailing Wall this year.
On 22nd July 2018 an elderly worshipper had a close call when a 100-kg (220 lb) stone suddenly fell from Jerusalem’s Western Wall (kotel) and crashed at her feet on to the egalitarian plaza, a prayer platform.
Jerusalem Antiquities authorities are investigating and say they will respect its ‘sensitivity.’
The Wall, is more than 2,000 years old.
It became known by Europeans as the Wailing Wall, a translation of the Arabic, el-Mabka.
Rabbis look up to where the boulder fell from.
Could it be that….
?????????
Another sign appeared on Hoshana Rabba, the last day of Sukkot, when a large cloud of mist began billowing up from the ground inside the Temple Mount Compound, surrounding the Dome of the rock for several minutes.
In October, a group of Jews praying on the Mount of Olives witnessed a large white cloud rise up out of the ground from the Temple Mount.
I wipe away your sins like a cloud, Your transgressions like mist— Come back to Me, for I redeem you. Isaiah 44:22 (The Israel Bible™)
Most were immersed in their holiday prayers and had not noticed but when it was pointed out, they confirmed the mist’s presence. The phenomenon lingered on the ground around the golden dome for more than 20 minutes.
When Rabbi Yosef Berger heard of the sighting, he responded with equanimity.
“If you had told me that it happened any other day of the year, I would not have assigned it any significance,” Rabbi Berger told Breaking Israel News. “But to have this cloud appear on Hoshana Rabbah is highly significant and makes me happy, knowing the geula (redemption) is at hand.”

Israel announces:
The Third Temple will be ready in 2019
Sanhedrin Invites 70 Nations to Hanukkah Dedication of Altar for the Third Temple
The altar built by the Temple Institute to be used in service in the rebuilt Third Jewish Temple.
As Breaking Israel News reported earlier this month, the Temple Institute in Jerusalem has completed the construction of the stone altar required for the sacrificial service in the Holy Temple.
The ceremony included the consecration of a stone altar prepared for use in the Third Temple. The declaration was intended as an invitation to the nations to participate in the Temple and to receive its blessings.
The altar is currently in the form of loose stone blocks ready to be transported to the Temple Mount and stored in a manner that will enable them to be transported and assembled at a moment’s notice. When complete, the altar will be a square nine feet on each side and five feet tall, and includes a ramp for the priests to ascend.
For believers neither building nor further sacrifices are required as we are the living stones of the Temple/Body of Messiah Jesus/Yeshua the building of the 3rd Temple is to fulfill Biblical end-time prophecy.
Interesting note: 70 is the number of languages that were given to divide and separate the people after the tower of Babel incident, are they now being re-assembled??
And yet another harbinger reported..
Is increasing Snowfall in Sahara Desert a Sign of Messianic Redemption?
Snow in the Sahara desert has been a rare phenomenon, yet the Algerian town of Ain Sefra experienced on its second snowfall of the winter.
Of course, a second snowfall in the same winter was even more unforeseen, amazed locals woke up to see the desert sands coated again in approximately half a foot of snow.
Such rare weather patterns may very well be a sign of the Messianic era as the prophet Isaiah speaks repeatedly of deserts blooming in his description of the end of days.
“I am about to do something new; Even now it shall come to pass, Suddenly you shall perceive it: I will make a road through the wilderness And rivers in the desert.”
Another significant occurrence is that of a Special Torah Scroll Written for Messiah has been Completed.
Rabbi Yosef Berger, one of the rabbis in charge of King David’s Tomb in Jerusalem’s Old City, took an enormous step towards making his year-long dream a reality.
Rabbi Berger’s dream was to write a Torah scroll to present to the Messiah upon his arrival. Since David’s Tomb, the burial place of the Messiah’s ancestor, is located on Mount Zion, Rabbi Berger is uniquely positioned to personally present the Torah to the Messiah.
The Rabbi believes that by writing a Torah scroll which includes all of Israel, and keeping that scroll on Mount Zion, it will fulfill the requirements to usher in the Messiah.
Rabbi Berger explained to how he learned this from Yalkut Shimoni, a collection of teachings believed to have been arranged in the 13th century. He quoted the text:
“’Rabbi Shimon Ben Monsia said, ‘No signs of redemption will be shown to Israel until they seek these three things – the kingdom of heaven , the dynasty of King David, and the building of the Temple.’ Writing a scroll housed on Mount Zion, where King David is interred, and adjacent to the Temple Mount, will accomplish all three goals in one action,” the rabbi explained.
In December, the first letters of the scroll were inscribed by Rabbi David Hai Abuhatzeira, the grandson of the prominent Moroccan Sephardic mystic Rabbi Israel Abuhatzeira, known as the Baba Sali.
At the time, Rabbi Abuhatseira urgently instructed the organizers of the project, “Write the Sefer Torah as fast as possible, you don’t have much time!…I hope you have a chance [to finish]!”
It appears that Rabbi Berger finished this stage of the project in time. Last Thursday, the ceremony to consecrate the new Torah scroll began at the Kotel (Western Wall) in Jerusalem and moved to the adjacent Ohel Yitzchak Synagogue, where the final letters were written by a collection of honored rabbis. Thousands of celebrants accompanied the Torah scroll to its new home at David’s Tomb on Mount Zion.
The ceremony was on the seventh day of the Hebrew month Adar, which is both the birth date and the Yahrtzeit (anniversary of the death) of Moses. Apropos to the momentous occasion, Rabbi Berger announced to the crowd, “Moses was truth, and his Torah was truth, and this Torah will never change.”
He then quoted from the book of Hosea
“For the Bnei Yisrael shall sit solitary many days without king and without prince and without sacrifice and without pillar and without ephod or teraphim; afterward shall Bnei Yisrael return and seek the LORD their God and David their king; and shall come trembling unto the LORD and to His goodness in the end of days.” (Hosea 3:4-5)
One final report is one that is related to the Feast of Trumpets/ Yom Teruah/Rosh Hashanah.
In the summer of 2016 there was a revival of the 4 horned variety of Jacob Sheep which got their name in the late 19th century because their spots and speckles match the description in the Book of Genesis of Jacob’s flock.
And the flocks conceived at the sight of the rods, and the flocks brought forth streaked, speckled, and spotted. Genesis 30:39
Apparently their horns are very significant and used as shofars.
On 20th August 2018 Jacobs sheep were moved to the Temple grazing ground.
And you, O Migdal-eder, Outpost of Fair Tzion, It shall come to you: The former monarchy shall return— The kingship of Fair Yerushalayim. Micah 4:8 (The Israel Bible™)
Migdal Eder is also identified by the Prophet Micah as the place from which the dynasty of King David will be reestablished.

After a journey from the other side of the world, the flock of 100 Jacob’s Sheep may have found a permanent home; Migdal Eder, a site designated for grazing animals destined for the Temple altar. They are currently in Gush Etzion awaiting the construction of facility in Migdal Eder (the tower of the flock) the place from which the Messiah is prophesied to come at the sound of the Last Trump!
Last but not least front and center in the news … There is also a strong indication of a Peace Deal in the not too distant future…..An agreement to divide Jerusalem and establish a PLO state is a tribulation event….
From a Biblical prophetic perspective, the reason why the God of Israel would allow these events to happen is because it will result in the end of the exile of the house of Jacob and the reunification of the 12 tribes of Israel (Ephraim and Judah).
We will to be “watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem” and we will not rest until the God of Israel makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth (Isaiah 62).
the four-cornered garment of the tallit/prayer shawl.
As the fulfillment drew close as Yeshua prepared Himself to be the instrument of the actual joining, they mocked and beat Him and pressed a thorny crown into His head. And put a robe around Him the scriptures tell us it was a scarlet/purple color.
