������� THE KEY TO PROPHESY

�������������� By Bertrand L. Comparet

���� Today we easily see how each of the great events of the Old

Testament days was prophesied long in

���� advance. Yet, the people were strangely blind to it when the

events were coming upon them. Today it is

���� the same; the prophecies concerning the end of the age are

being fulfilled; yet the people in most churches

���� cannot make head or tail of it. They wait expectantly for the

smallest things to happen, meanwhile being

���� blind to what is actually happening to them. This is because they

don't know to whom the prophecies

���� apply, so they look to the wrong people, in the wrong place, for

their fulfillment.

���� Yahweh did not prophecy indiscriminately about everything and

everybody. The great empires of China,

���� India, the Inca, Maya and Aztec nations of South and Central

America, were never noticed in the Bible,

���� for they had nothing to do with Yahweh's people nor His religion.

To understand prophecy, you must

���� know to whom the prophecy is addressed. Bible prophecies are

grouped into certain main lines, each

���� with its own subject.

���� (1) Messianic prophecies concerning Yahshua. They foretold His

virgin birth, the place where He

���� would be born, many details of His ministry, healing the sick,

giving sight to the blind. All the details of

���� His betrayal and crucifixion were given, and His resurrection on

the third day, etc. Obviously, only

�� ��Yahshua could fulfill these, if you waited for someone else, you

could reach only doubt and confusion. All

���� the other main lines of prophesy are also directed specifically to

some one subject and cannot be fulfilled

���� by anyone but the people concerning whom they were written.

���� (2) Prophecies concerning the 12 tribes of Israel. As we know,

Israel split into two nations upon the

���� death of Solomon in 975 B.C. and the two nations then had their

separate histories and different destinies

� ���to fulfill. Either one alone of the two nations it became and of

course, not by any Gentile people cannot

���� fulfill prophecies relating to the whole house of Jacob.

���� (3) The two tribed nation of Judah. Judah and Benjamin

remained when the ten tribed Israel split

���� away from it. These prophecies deal with the short‑lived nation

foretelling its captivity in Babylon for 70

���� years. Then it tells about the return of a remnant to build the 70

weeks nation foretold by Daniel, which

���� would fulfill and outlive its purposes in 490 years. It was to

provide the sanctuary for Yahshua's first

���� coming and His sacrifice for us on the cross. After that it served

no further purpose and within one

���� generation it disappeared from history. Just as it is obvious that

China, Rome or Argentina could not fulfill

���� any of these prophecies, neither could the house of Judah fulfill

prophecies that do not concern her.

���� (4) The house of Israel. Beginning as the ten tribed nation, which

broke away from Judah, they had a

���� separate destiny. It was to be Yahweh's dominion. It must

become a great nation and a company of

���� nations. It must be Yahweh's battle‑axe and weapons of war,

with which He broke up the evil, pagan

���� nations of the earth. It must become a great seafaring people,

from the Norse Vikings of the several

���� centuries following the decay of the Roman Empire, down

through the mighty navies of Great Britain and

���� the United States. Its people must multiply like the stars of

heaven in number and they must receive the

���� new covenant and become Christians. They must possess and

develop the lands, which other people had

���� allowed to remain desolate. They must take Yahweh's religion

and civilization to many lands, to show

��� �forth His praise in the earth. All these prophecies concern the

house of Israel only and nobody but the

���� Anglo Saxon, Scandinavian and Germanic nations have fulfilled

them. These we know to be the living

���� generations of Yahweh's people Israel.

���� If you watch for fulfillment of these prophecies by Egypt, the

Congo, Russia, China, India or South

���� America, you not only waste your time in vain, while watching

the empty ring, you overlook the

���� performance going on in the active ring.

���� (5) The Jews. Here, willful blindness of most churches has

utterly confused their religion. They persist in

���� applying Yahweh's prophecies about Israel to the Jews. Since

the Jews never did and never could fulfill

���� any of these, such churches have to make excuses for the

apparent failure of prophecy and their faith is

���� badly weakened. They must pretend the time has not yet come

for fulfillment of any of these prophecies,

���� so the Jews can do these things in some indefinite future. This

blinds them to the fact these prophecies

���� have already been fulfilled by the real Israel. These have been

fulfilled so far that nothing is left to watch

���� for but the Russian and Chinese communist attack on the

unwalled cities of Israel, then the second

���� coming of Yahshua, for which they are not prepared.

���� In Isaiah 65:15 Yahweh said to the Jews, "Ye shall leave your

name as a curse to My chosen, for

���� Yahweh shall slay thee and call His servants by another name."

Yahweh said in Jeremiah 24:9 the

���� Jews would become "a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a

curse, in all places whither I shall drive

���� them". Yahweh prophesied that they would be recognized by

their faces. Isaiah 3:9 describes the Jews

���� thus, "The show of their countenance doth witness against them

and they declare their sin as Sodom, they

���� hide it not". They would be scattered, as wanderers and their

conduct would keep them under attack.

���� Ezekiel 5:11‑12 describes what will happen to the Jews. "A third

part shall fall by the sword around

���� about thee; and I will scatter a third part unto all the winds and I

will draw out a sword after them".� All

���� these things have happened, but this has been overlooked by

those who were watching only for that

���� which the Jews couldn't do because Yahweh had foretold that

only Israel could do it.

���� (6) The throne of David. In these prophecies Yahweh promised

the throne of David would always rule

���� over at least a part of His people. That the house of David will

never lack a descendant to sit upon that

���� throne. Finally, Yahshua, who is born of the house of David, will

return to rule the entire world from that

���� throne. We know that the royal families of Britain and the

Scandinavian countries are descended from

���� David. In all these centuries, these prophecies have never failed

for even one day; the final fulfillment of

���� Yahshua's return is drawing near.

���� (7) The Babylonian succession of empires. This is told

principally in Daniel and Revelation. Their rise

���� to power, their brutal character, their satanic but futile opposition

to the nations of Israel and their fall, all

���� occurred as prophesied. The final stages of these prophecies

are happening before our eyes today when

���� you know who is who.

���� (8) The kingdom of Yahweh. This is not something to begin in

the vague future. Daniel's continued

���� prophecy, after foretelling the Babylonian succession of

empires, beginning with King Nebuchadnezzar to

���� whom he spoke, is recorded in Daniel 2:44. "In the days of these

kings shall the God of heaven set

���� up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom

shall not be left to other people, but it

���� shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms and it

shall stand forever." The kingdom of Yahweh

���� was set up on earth centuries ago, in the days of the kings of the

Babylonian succession of empires. It is

���� still here and most of you who hear my voice are living in it.

���� (9) The church. This is not a nation; it has no armies or navies. It

rules no territories, it conducts no

���� commerce, it is not as numerous as the stars, but it is a little

flock. It is the spiritual center of the nations of

���� Israel, but it fulfills only its own prophecies and none of the

prophecies of Israel are transferred to it.

���� These nine main lines of prophecy are like as many different

trains, coming from different places with

���� different passengers and arriving at the depot on different

tracks. You will miss your train if you wait at

���� the wrong platform. Never in all eternity will a Gentile train arrive

on an Israel platform, nor will an Israel

���� train arrive at a Jewish platform, nor a kingdom of Yahweh train

at a church platform. The only key to

���� the understanding of prophecy is to watch for each train of

prophecy at its own platform.
