4 Ezra - Three Ancient Prophecies Israel Knew

KAPOW Radio Show

We find in 4 Ezra the prophesy of the LORD's Day, which will mark the end of world history and time, but three events must take place first. These events were revealed to the ancient Isrealites, like the Godly priests and Essenes living around the Qumran (Dead Sea Scrolls) area, in the 400 years proceeding the arrival of John the Baptist. John the Baptist knew these ancient prophecies and events, and marked one of them by declaring, "Behold, the Lamb of God!." The death of Messiah marked another anticipated event, and it is no wonder Jesus was amazed at the people's ignorance of these Scriptures fortelling His death and resurrection. After Messiah's death, there was only one event left to take place prior to the destruction of the world and the eternal resurrection of the saints, which is the ultimate goal and end-game for believers. This last event, is the death of all humanity with the reset of the earth back to its original condition in Genesis 1:2. The Apostles and Disciples knew this, and this is why the New Testament letters always declare the "Last Days" reality. The Scriptures in the Book of Revelation suddenly make sense, with the Pauline and Peter writtings as well. We discuss things that we should have known all along, but were hidden and concelaled from us, causing doctrinal error and confusion. Now, let us examine the prophecies in their true ancient context, and take heed of the times.
