They shall call Jerusalem: Throne of Yahweh.

by Alejandro Roque Glez.

“Turn, O backsliding children, said Yahweh; for I am married to you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Sion… At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Yahweh; and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of Yahweh, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart… and you shall swear, The Lord Yahweh lives, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.”

(Jeremiah 3:14-18, 4:2)

How do we know we are at the End of Times? How to unequivocally understand about the signs that we see around us: naturals and geopoliticals, are not mere repetitions of facts already occurred––one way or another––in the course of human history?

The most important and decisive fact the prophets of God used to warn us about the coming of the End Times, as a premise for the nations’ judgment and establishing the Kingdom of God, is that it would begin once the modern state of Israel was founded. Remember, these events were predicted by these men of God in the time that Israel was plunged into chaos, or in exile, or as in the last stage of a Diaspora that lasted almost 1900 years; it means they were prophesying about something that neither the most credulous could imagine.

In 1948 it was founded the State of Israel, and as Jeremiah prophesies to us here in this quote, one from each city and two of each family were to begin the return to their land, first starting with more than 800, 000 Jews, now reaching six million (not including the Arabs in the territory) and counting yet. Soon others will join and return––once the anti-semitism grows in the world––and with no doubt they will exceed seven million.

When the State of Israel was founded, the Holy Scripture known as End Times just began, and it is not for pleasure or vanity that since then national events, moral, historical and geopolitical changes are being adjusted to what was prophesied, as a puzzle in which surprisingly all pieces begin to fit together. The serious students of the Bible know it without hesitation, if they have received the pledge of the Holy Spirit in their souls.

Here the prophet goes back to 2600 years ahead when the Jewish people would return to their land, at the end of time and later; together with the Son of God: Jesus Christ, the Savior of mankind (Mt 19:28), and from the holy city of Jerusalem (v.17), he shall establish his throne of justice and begin the Millenarian Kingdom which will change the political and administrative worldwide panorama (Rev 20:4-6).

These prophecies one way or another are repeated by all the prophets of God in different ages, revealed in his Holy Word––the Bible––which we will continue to analyze them in order to understand and ensure about the fact that its repetition is an irrefutable proof of God’s character and his constant warning, while the Holy Spirit using these men, prophets of the Most High, indicated that a big event would one day reach our earthly shores; and that the world and universe since shall be marked forever with the seal of eternal redemption.

Other passages where the prophet Jeremiah goes Millennia forward, outlining to us that from the holy city of Jerusalem the earth should be ruled one given day, are: 17:25, 23:3-8, 30:7-9, 31:4-13 , 22-23, 31-34, 38-40, 32:37-41, 33:6-9, 14-16, 22; 50:4-5.

The prophet frequently uses the family tree of the once historic and famous king of Israel David to warn us that one of his genealogical descent, shall be the One in which the prophecies about the Messiah would be fulfilled.

David (23:5), the righteous branch (Is 9:6-7, 11:1-2), King (30:9), the final hope when he asserts us that: “In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up to David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the earth” (33:15). The new branch and sapling born from the once king of Israel is here a real figure of the Son of God, Jesus Christ; who, being a descendant of king David according to the flesh, and since the days of Ruth through her genealogical tree (Mt 1:6, Lk 3:32), would be born of the virgin Mary, and conceived by the Holy Spirit, coming into this world 600 years later from the prophet Jeremiah tells us so, as indeed happened (Lk 2:10-11).

The restoration of Israel at the End of Time would be the defining signal related to the imminent advent of God’s Messiah, who––as Savior and Redeemer––would establish his Millennial Reign of peace and justice, glorified by the people of the earth; those who accepted him and––consequently––were forgiven and transformed through the holocaust in the Cross of Golgotha, atoned for the glory of the Creator of heavens and earth.
