Are we IN THE LAST DAYS?

If you are not familiar with Bibical prophecy it may help to read Appreciating Prophetic Documents first.


 IN THE LAST DAYS is a Biblical concept and we are interest in them because THE MOUNTAIN of the LORD'S HOUSE is to be established IN THE LAST DAYS.  (RE: Isaiah 2) It is for the establishment of this House that this blog is dedicated. 



In the previous post we discussed the connections between THE MILLENNIAL TEMPLE of Ezekiel's vision, THE MOUNTAIN of YHWH (Yahweh) and THE LAST DAYS. In this blog we want to answer some questions about living IN THE LAST DAYS? We will present the case and argue that we are in fact LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS; and because of this there are those of us who are inspired with a desire to ESTABLISH THE MOUNTAIN OF YHWH (RE: Previous Blog).
 In subsequence posts we will examine details of The Mountain and The Coded (Holy) House of YHWH. But these discussions may be a waste of time if we are not actually LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS! So lets start by being convinced that THE LAST DAYS are in fact upon us.

Many Bible teachers have said, “We are living in THE LAST DAYS!” Are they right? There are many reasons to think so! But unfortunately the most important reason is overlooked by authors writing on this subject, namely THE MOUNTAIN OF YHWH. 
 So, what is significant about THE LAST DAYS? What is YOUR VISION for the future? Are you afraid? or do you have HOPE and a vision IN THE LAST DAYS?

Let's start to examine the origin of THE LAST DAYS concept?
Jacob presented a last will and testament to his sons about 4,000 years ago with these words:

And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, "Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days."  (Genesis 49:1 KJV)

What did Jacob mean by this statement? Was he talking to his sons about the end of their lives? No! He was talking to them about their family's future. When you read Genesis 48 and 49, it is apparent that Jacob thought that his decedents would be alive, well and identifiable IN THE LAST DAYS. 

"But now," thus saith the LORD YHWH that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, "Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine."  (Isaiah 43:1 KJV)

                     

More than one thousand years after Jacob talked to his sons about THE LAST DAYS, the prophet Isaiah referenced THE LAST DAYS as still in the distant future.

The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that THE MOUNTAIN of the LORD'S house (YHWH’S HABITAT) shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.  Isaiah 2:1-2

We can understand this phrase IN THE LAST DAYS when we understand the seventh day/millennium pattern God set up in the beginning. "Six days shall you work, and on THE LAST DAY, the seventh day, you shall rest from your labors." 

The Apostle Peter wrote: "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (2Peter 3:8)

This is a key to unlocking so much in prophecy. This is why Peter said, "be not ignorant of this one thing." In the beginning Elohim (God) ordained a seven day week. Since a day is like one thousand years, and one thousand years is like one day, then the last day of the week, the seventh day, also known as the Sabbath, is as THE LAST DAYS; or the seventh or Sabbath Millennium.

If you make a detailed study of the genealogies listed in the Bible you will find in these historical documents the fact that we are just now entering the Seventh Millennium, also known collectively as THE LAST DAYS.

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.  (Psalms 90:4)

So you can feel safe declaring: We are NOW living IN THE LAST DAYS!

O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD YHWH. (Isaiah 2:1-5 KJV)

Can we develop THIS VISION to design and build YHWH's House? Yes, if we let Him ‘teach us His ways’, and ‘we walk in His paths’ to ESTABLISH THE MOUNTAIN HABITAT of YHWH.

Let me be among the first to say, “Come, let us go up to THE MOUNTAIN!” 
Now, you say it to your friends. 'And many people shall go and say, "Come!"' 
But how can we go to THE MOUNTAIN if it is not ESTABLISHED? We go to it mentally, then we except it into our heart, we fall in love with the idea of providing a Welcoming Home for the Glory of YHWH.


Come, LET US GO UP TO ESTABLISH THE MOUNTAIN of YHWH!


These two, the establishment of the house, and the last days, go together like 'peas in a pod.' There is however one additional element required; RETURNING TO THE VINE. Peas in a pod have no life unless connected to the vine. Notice, on the one hand, this last part of Solomon's Prayer: 

"Yet if they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;  (38)  If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name:  (39)  Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee. 2 Chronicles 6:37-39  

And on the other hand we find the prayer Yahshua (Jesus) taught his disciples to pray:

"After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. (Matthew 6:9-15)

"Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in Heaven." On Heavenly x-Dimensional Monitors Ezekiel saw/stood upon A Very High Mountain, and Isaiah envisioned this MOUNTAIN ESTABLISHED in THE LAST DAYS, the days of the Sabbath Millennium which has just begun.
