Our 2nd Presence TIMELINE Table

Dear Friends of The Truth,

Greetings in the name of His Majesty Yeshua HaMoshiach, The Savior of the world!

Our Premise asks us the following 5 questions.  Do YOU know?

Do You Know that as a result of Antitypical Elijah's failure to convert the world, the predicted curse—the great Time of Trouble by which Society as now constituted is to be destroyed—was to come?—Mal. 4: 6.
Do You Know that this predicted curse had the beginning of its fulfillment in the great World War—a symbolic wind—with accompanying famines and pestilences?—Joel 3: 9-14; Ezek. 14: 21.
Do You Know that this predicted curse will progress in its fulfillment through a world-wide Revolution—a symbolic earthquake—accompanied by still worse famines and pestilences?— Rev. 16: 18, 19.
Do You Know that this predicted curse will end in world-wide Anarchy—a symbolic fire— accompanied by the worst of famines and pestilences?—Mal. 4: 1; 2 Pet. 3: 10-12.
Do You Know that these troubles—the symbolic wind, earthquake, and fire—will befollowed by the still small voice God's Kingdom which will bless all nations?
1 Kings 19: 11, 12; Zeph. 3: 8, 9; Matt. 6: 10; Gen. 22: 18; Hag. 2: 6, 7; Acts 3: 19-21.
 [by PSLJ HE 1921]

The 7 row table below shows changes and decay of the social fabric, [worldly institutions], symptoms and causes of decadence, decade by decade from our Lord's Return in 1874 to "The Anarchy" of today which in our humble opinion we are in.  (see I Kings Chapter 19)  We endeavor to chronologically harmonize the four stage "binding of the adversary" and the four "Watches of the Night" with world events. 


DISCLAIMER:  Allow me to use the editorial "We" as I explain, "we" are not a Bible Teacher, just a Bible student.  The following timeline table was compiled on Feb 22, 2016.  It is not complete. It is my own opinion, based on my individual studies.  Feel free to comment and share. We make it available online before being fully completed to present it as an open study others may enjoy.
Forgive our mistakes but please correct our errors. We will be adding and subtracting as more is correctly understood in this shining light of the Epiphany. II Thes 2:8

Smith’s Bible Dictionary re: “Watches of night ”

Watches of night : The Jews, like the Greeks and Romans, divided the night into military watches instead of hours, each watch representing the period for which sentinels or pickets remained on duty. The proper Jewish reckoning recognized only three such watches, entitled the first or "beginning of the watches," (Lamentations 2:19) the middle watch, (Judges 7:19) and the morning watch. (Exodus 14:24; 1 Samuel 11:11) These would last respectively from sunset to 10 P.M.; from 10 P.M. to 2 A.M.; and from 2 A.M. to sunrise. After the establishment of the Roman supremacy, the number of watches was increased to four, which were described either according to their numerical order, as in the case of the "fourth watch," (Matthew 14:25) or by the terms "even," "midnight," "cock-crowing" and "morning." (Mark 13:35) These terminated respectively at 9 P.M., midnight, 3 A.M. and 6 A.M.

The completion of the first stage of his binding was marked by the World War, to which he resorted to maintain his empire, after realizing that he could no longer control it by its three foundation and three supporting doctrines, as of yore. 1878 Berlin Congress	TYPEWRITER

By Biblical, factual and reasonable exhibitions of secular and religious truth, Jesus is showing, and will continue to show the erroneousness of these to such a degree that Satan, to maintain an empire at all, will resort to a revolution of the masses against the classes combined as above, and thereby will overthrow his present order. His resorting to the revolution—the fast approaching Armageddon—will be a proof of the completion of his second binding stage. 41 years 8 mos for "one hour" of prophetic time would take us to Passover 1916 1917 General Allenby Takes Jerusalem	end of divine right of kings end of ottoman empire opening the way to Jerusalem			Photo Drama of Creation

As such they will be destroyed in the coming Revolution. We look for the coming of another (symbolic) Beast, which seems to represent the form of European government to be set up after the Revolution, and which, we opine, will probably be socialistic in form. This being a part of the "present evil world," Satan, of course, will be its invisible ruler. Forced, much against his preference, to accept such an order of affairs, he will seek to use it to further his controllership over the human family.

1954	1954 - 1994 stage three 3rd Watch Fall REVOLUTION Many Bible Students discuss this question: Does"armageddon" have to mean literal destruction? Bro. Russell taught it was a battle of truth vs. error, right vs. wrong, right vs. left...with SOME destruction. How much? who can say?  Much destruction is FIGURATIVE.  We don't agree with our JW friends about Armageddon, nor should a Bible Student agree with the Sunday TV preacher mob. RCB Hoefle removed on June 25 1955 Feb 1956  Hoefle DF'd	War - revolution - Anarchy Socialism grows CTR:  In the Scriptures, the Lord has evidently seen fit to associate the name of this famous battle-field Armageddon, with the great controversy between Truth and Error, right and wrong, God and Mammon, with which the Gospel Age will close and the Messianic Age be ushered in. He has purposely used highly symbolic language in the last book of the Bible, evidently with a view to hiding certain important truths until the due time for their revealment. But even in the due time, "None of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand." (#Da 12:10.) He will establish on false teachings a socialistic form of government which, as the third stage of Satan's binding, Jesus will expose as erroneous, by secular and religious truth; and in a mad dash to preserve some sort of power over mankind, Satan will lead the people on toanarchy, which will prove the completion of the third stage of his binding. 1956 Suez Conflict Note: 41 years 8 mos for "one hour" of prophetic time [PSLJ] would take us to about January 1958	Cold War Era Capitalism vs. Communism Right Vs.

Government spending as a share of Gross Domestic Product (the measure of wealth created) in 1913 ranged from 1.8 percent in the U.S. to 17 percent in France. At the end of the century, it ranged from 34 percent in the United States to 65 percent in Sweden. ...even more recently President Barack Obama sought economic advice not from the free market economists of the Chicago or Austrian School of Economics but from Keynesian economists whose advice have sown the seeds to profligate spending and have led to the implementation of policies of fiscal irresponsibility.

From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy collapses over loose fiscal policy...always followed by a dictatorship." socialism	2014 iPhones, iPads, VR, AI, gene editing, Obama crimes against US and ISRAEL: Iraqi Pullout 2011 Arab Spring 2012 Muslim Migration 2014 ISIS Caliphate 2015 opposed Netanyahu '16 European Invasion 2016 Black Lives Matter burns down Baltimore inciting to murder and riot, then invited to the White House Feb 2016	Avenged Sevenfold, Katy Perry, Coldplay, Taylor Swift, Lady GaGa, Kendrick Lamar,	"Real Housewives","Guide to Divorce" ...etc. See "Walter's World" and Mark Dice for videos illustrating the dumbing down of the population.

Bernie Sanders vs. Donald Trump More from Bastiat's The Law: [written 1850] Socialism, like the old policy from which it emanates, confounds Government and society. And so, every time we object to a thing being done by Government, it concludes that we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of education by the State — then we are against education altogether. We object to a State religion — then we would have no religion at all. We object to an equality which is brought about by the State then we are against equality, etc., etc. They might as well accuse us of wishing men not to eat, because we object to the cultivation of corn by the State. How is it that the strange idea of making the law produce what it does not contain — prosperity, in a positive sense, wealth, science, religion — should ever have gained ground in the political world? The modern politicians, particularly those of the Socialist school, found their different theories upon one common hypothesis; and surely a more strange, a more presumptuous notion, could never have entered a human brain. They divide mankind into two parts. Men in general, except one, form the first; the politician himself forms the second, which is by far the most important. Bastiat concludes his penetrating analysis with this: The social organs are constituted so as to enable them to develop harmoniously in the grand air of liberty. Away, then, with quacks and organizers! Away with their rings, and their chains, and their hooks, and their pincers! Away with their artificial methods! Away with their social laboratories, their governmental whims, their centralization, their tariffs, their universities, their State religions, their inflationary or monopolizing banks, their limitations, their restrictions, their moralizations, and their equalization by taxation! And now, after having vainly inflicted upon the social body so many systems, let them end where they ought to have begun — reject all systems, and try of liberty — liberty, which is an act of faith in God and in His work.

" “Contrast where we were when Ronald Reagan went home, with where we are, and it is easy to understand the revolutions raging in both parties, Buchanan concludes.  “America’s establishment has failed America.  The single clearest message in the presidential campaign of 2015-2016 is that the American people would like to cleanse our capital city of its ruling class.”.... Buchanan observed that there is nothing about Bush Republicanism that is particularly attractive to American conservatives. He said, “After the judges and tax cuts, what is there about Bush that is conservative? His foreign policy is Wilsonian. His trade policy is pure FDR. His spending is LBJ all the way. His amnesty for illegals is Teddy Kennedy’s policy… In smearing as nativists, protectionists and isolationists those who wish to stop the invasion, halt the export of factories and jobs to Asia, and stop the unnecessary wars, Bush is attacking the last true conservatives in his party.”	Star Wars Force Awakens

Its destructiveness of human life, prop­erty, comfort and health will be even greater than that of the World War (Jer.25:29‑33). And its end will witness the overthrow of every governmental, religious and aristo­cratic system on earth. (A _babe in the truth’ – especially Epiphany Truth – would know that we specifically stated that ‘another group’ of unscrupulous politicians would succeed the present governments, but this will be only a continuation of the Gentile rule; their lease has expired, but they will continue to rule until Com­pletely evicted inAnarchy – JJH) ... Further from Reprints 5864 (top): “The ecclesiastical systems will, we believe, go into destruction first, according to the Bible. The fire will next affect the social and Industrial organization.”	WHAT YEAR? 2018 is the shortest we might dare hope for as far as being near the end of anarchy, in order to see the completion of Jacob's Trouble at the end of this Anarchy.  This date commends itself by being exactly 70 years [which is only one possible correct duration of what is a Scriptural "generation"] from 1948 Israel becomes a state, and a stage for Armageddon / Anarchy / Jacob's Trouble 2034 is more solidly based on the basic 40 year periods, arrived at using the four stages of 40 years each concept that I derived from the fact that Bro. Johnson explained the first stage of the binding as a period of time from 1874 to 1914, and also expected the next period to last from 1914 to 1954 for the "second stage" of the binding of Satan.  Further study is of course ongoing. OPTIONAL DATES: 2041 is the next shortest time I might hope for as the end of the binding of the Adversary, this chronology partly based on the 4 night watches of 41 years 8 mos each... 2060 AD looks great for the final tearing down of Christendom because it's exactly 1260 years after 800 AD Charlamagne.  I never heard that suggested by Bible Students before, as it likely seemed unthinkable things could take so long... RCB		AFTER Anarchy... Jacob's Trouble  Phase 2  [Ezek 38 Finale'] E02 143  Satan, beholding these prosperous Israelites, and realizing that his days of mischief are about over, will, after anarchy has destroyed the future socialistic governments, in hatred against Israel stir up the anarchistic remnants of all nations to plunder the Israelites in Palestine. These plunderers, as described in Ezek. 38 and 39 and in Zech. 12: 1-9 and 14: 1-3, will be gathered by Satan from among all nations and will sorely afflict Israel in what the Bible calls Jacob's Trouble (Jer.30: 1-9). This will be a very severe trouble, according to the prophetic description given in the above citations, and will be Israel's final chastisement. It will effectually turn them to the Lord Jesus in thorough conversion, when they, in the complete overthrow of their plunderers by the Lord Jesus, will remember that their trouble and their troublers' overthrow were forecast to them by the Truth people. And their affliction and the overthrow of their anarchistic plunderers will be the last act of Satanic oppression as the god of this evil world. With that wicked effort his days as man's supreme oppressor will be over, for which we thank God.     According to Rev. 20: 1-3, Satan will be bound and ...

FINAL STORY:

Here's what we think can be expected to occur, from Vol 4 "The Battle of Armageddon" by CTR

Israel’s long cherished hopes of the King­dom will meantime be reviving amongst those who, from respect for the promises, shall have gathered to Palestine. When to these the Ancient Worthies shall declare their resurrection, and the form of righteous government to be established, the plan will un­doubtedly be promptly recognized as of the Lord, and when they shall learn that the real Kingdom over them is the spiritual, and that Jesus the crucified is the King, and mentally, with the eye of faith, shall “look upon him whom they pierced”—then, “They shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. In that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem.” And God “will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplication.”(Zech. 12:10,11)

The news of the discomfiture of the hosts of Gog and Magog, and of the wonderful deliverance of Israel from their enemies, will be speedily followed by the news of the appearance of their renowned “fathers,” resurrected, and the estab­lishment of a government with these at its head, and of the general conversion of Israel to the long rejected Messiah. And no doubt much of this will pass for a fraud amongst Gentiles: the Jews will be laughed at for being gullible, and the Ancient Worthies will be classed as shrewd impostors.

But the blessing from the reorganization of government under the new auspices in Israel, will work such wonderful and rapid changes in Israel’s welfare as will astonish the then anar­chistic and discouraged world, and lead many to think and to say—whether impostors or not, the work of these men who claim to be the resurrected prophets is the very one the world needs! Would to God they would take control of the whole world, and bring order and peace out of our universal disorder. And then they will send to have these wonderful “princes” extend every­where their government, their yoke of righteous­ness, seen to be so beneficial to Israel. This is stated by the Prophet in the following words: “It shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain [Kingdom] of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains [as a Kingdom above all king­doms], and shall be exalted above the hills [the highest peaks]; and all nations shall flow unto it.

And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain [Kingdom] of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion [the spiritual Kingdom—the glorified Christ, head and body] shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem [the seat of the earthly representative government in the hands of the “princes”]. And [previously—in the great Time of Trouble] he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people. And [as a result of the Lord’s rebukes and subsequently his law and Word] they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.” (Isa. 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-4)

HE1924
That the fire of our text is symbolic does not only follow from the fact that the heavens and earth that it devours are symbolic, and from the fact that it consists of worldwide war, revolution, anarchy, famine and pestilence, but also from the numerous other Scriptural figures used to designate the self-same destructive troubles. The following are the chief symbolic designations of these destructive troubles: a battle (Rev. 16: 14; Zeph. 3: 8; Is. 13: 4, 5), Armageddon (Rev.
16: 16), an earthquake (Rev. 16: 18; Heb. 12: 26), a whirlwind and a storm (Nah. 1: 3, 6, 7), a

tempest of hail, a destroying storm and a flood of mighty waters (Is. 28: 2; Nah. 1: 4, 5, 8), the besom [broom] of destruction (Is. 14: 23), a furnace of fire (Matt. 13: 42), a lake of fire (Rev. 19: 20), the supper of the Great God (Rev. 19: 17), and a winepress (Rev. 14: 19). All of these figures expressive of destruction referring to the same thing as the fire of our text, conclusively prove that destruction is symbolized by the fire. Thus through the symbolic fire of the Great Tribulation will Satan's evil order of affairs—his world consisting of its symbolic heavens and earth—be burned up, be completely destroyed. Thus will end, never to arise again, the second world—this present evil world or order of affairs—with its symbolic heavens and earth, in anticipation of which let us thank and praise God.
