The Location of the Second

Coming

Matthew 23:37Yeshua Laments Over Jerusalem37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the

prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 38

See! Your house is left to you desolate; 39 for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you

say, †´Ÿ†¸‹-M·[¸A ‚́Aμ† ŒEš´A“Baruch Habah Bashem Adonai”‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of

the Lord!’ ”

Matthew 24:15 - Great Tribulation

15 “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), 16 “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.

Matthew 24:15-16,

"Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (see Daniel 9:27)

(whoever reads, let him understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains."

The Second ComingThey heed this prophesy and flee to the mountainous

wilderness in Southern Jordan (Edom) to a city called Bozrah.

Bozrah is an Old Testament city in Edom whose name translates as sheep pen. The city that closely resembles a sheep pen in Southern Jordan is the ancient Roman city called Petra. A rock fortress that is highly defendable with the surrounding mountains. The remnant of Israel flees Jerusalem as foretold in Isaiah.

Isaiah 33:16-17

"He will dwell on high; His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks; Bread will be given him, His water will be sure. Your eyes will see the King in His beauty; They will see the land that is very far off."

Micah 2:12-13 Bozrah – Sheep Pen"I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together (in Bozrah) like sheep of the fold, Like a flock in the midst of their pasture; They shall make a loud noise because of so many people. The one who breaks open will come up before them; They will break out, Pass through the gate, And go out by it; Their king will pass before them, With the LORD at their head."

Isaiah 34 - Judgment on the Nations1 Come near, you nations, to hear;

And heed, you people!Let the earth hear, and all that is in it,The world and all things that come forth from it.2For the indignation of the LORD is against all nations,And His fury against all their armies;He has utterly destroyed them,He has given them over to the slaughter.3Also their slain shall be thrown out;Their stench shall rise from their corpses,And the mountains shall be melted with their blood.4All the host of heaven shall be dissolved,And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll;All their host shall fall downAs the leaf falls from the vine,And as fruit falling from a fig tree.

5"For My sword shall be bathed in heaven;Indeed it shall come down on Edom,And on the people of My curse, for judgment.6The sword of the LORD is filled with blood,It is made overflowing with fatness,With the blood of lambs and goats,With the fat of the kidneys of rams.For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah,And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.7The wild oxen shall come down with them,And the young bulls with the mighty bulls;Their land shall be soaked with blood,And their dust saturated with fatness."8For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance,The year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

MESSIAH IS THE SALVATION OF ISRAEL!

Isaiah 6211Indeed the LORD has proclaimed

To the end of the world:"Say to the daughter of Zion,"Surely your salvation is coming;Behold, His reward is with Him,And His work before Him."'12And they shall call them The Holy People,The Redeemed of the LORD;And you shall be called Sought Out,A City Not Forsaken.

Isaiah 631 Who is this who comes from Edom,

With dyed garments from Bozrah,This One who is glorious in His apparel,Traveling in the greatness of His strength?--

"I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save."

2Why is Your apparel red,And Your garments like one who treads in the winepress?

Isaiah 63

3"I have trodden the winepress alone,And from the peoples no one was with Me.For I have trodden them in My anger,And trampled them in My fury;Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments,And I have stained all My robes.4For the day of vengeance is in My heart,And the year of My redeemed has come.

Revelation 19:11-13

Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.

1. At the close of the tribulation all Gentile nations gather in the Valley of Jezreelnear the Mountain of Meggido.

2. The Jewish remnant will flee Jerusalem and run south because the armies of the Anti-Messiah are in the north inMeggido.

3. They will flee the land of Israel and somehow end up in Southern Jordan (Edom) in the city of Petra or ancient Bozrah.

4. Out of desperation the Jewish remnant will call upon the Messiah while in Petra or Bozrah. They will say; "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD." All of Israel will be Saved (Romans 11).

5. The Messiah will return with the great sacrifice of the Gentile armiesin Bozrah. Bozrah will be made into a total burning wasteland through out the millennial kingdom.

6. The Sword of the Lord will smite the Gentile Armies until there is blood up to the horses neck for 200 miles back to Jerusalem.

7. The movement will be northward to Jerusalem where He will make the victory assent to the Mount of Olives.

8. There will be a gathering of all surviving Gentiles where the Messiah will divide them according to their helping Jesus' brethren the Jews. The pro-Semitic sheep gentiles will be allowed into the Kingdom and the anti-Semitic goat gentiles go into everlasting punishment.

9. The Davidic throne will be established in Jerusalem and the earth will be renovated for the Messianic Kingdom

that will last one thousand years.

The allure of the Nabatean city of Petra in Jordan tempted young Israelis to sneak across the border for a visit in the 1950s and 1960s, some loosing with their lives for the attempt. Several were killed by Bedouin Nomads or Jordanian Military.

There was no peace with Jordan at the time. The Hebrew song Ha-Selah Ha-Adom, the Red Rock, referring to mysterious Petra, was even banned from the radio except one time a year for fear that it would incite young men to make the hazardous journey.

Marker in the Deserts of Israel pointing to Petra/Bozrah. It is a memorial to those Israelis who lost their lives sneeking to see Petra in Southern Jordan.

The Song Selah Ha’Adom THE RED ROCKAcross mountains and the desert the stories say, there's a place that a living person has not yetreturned from,and it's called the red rock.Oh, the red - red - rock.Three went on the way with thesunset, against the the mountains' redscorching, an old dream, a map and a waterbottlethey did take to the red rock.Oh, the red - red - rock.The first went (as) navigator, lifting his face,lookin at the stars up high, but the view that his eyes saw - was the view of the red rockOh, the red - red - rock.

Selah Ha’Adom THE RED ROCK

Surely, they encamped some time between stones,one said, like smiting a dream:I see - its face is white.His mates answered: the red rock.Oh, the red - red - rock.The sun - revolving, beating their headsand they breathed the hot, desert dustand suddenly - as though by freezingit silenced them - they did see the red rock.Oh, the red - red - rock.The shooting salvo was short.One groaned, I'm wounded and he went silent.

Jeremiah 49:22

Behold, He shall come up and fly like the eagle, And spread His wings over Bozrah; The heart of the mighty men of Edom in that day shall be Like the heart of a woman in birth pangs.

These passages collectively show that something takes place at the Second Coming of the Messiah. The initial return will not be in Armageddon, or on the Mount of Olives. A summary sequence of the events are as follows:

1. At the close of the tribulation all Gentile nations gather in the Valley ofJezreel near the Mountain of Meggido.

2. The Jewish remnant will flee Jerusalem and run south because the armies of the Anti-Messiah are in the north in Meggido.

3. They will flee the land of Israel and somehow end up in Southern Jordan (Edom) in the city of Petra or ancient Bozrah.

4. Out of desperation the Jewish remnant will call upon the Messiah while in Petra or Bozrah. They will say; "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD." All of Israel will be Saved (Romans 11).

5. The Messiah will return with the great sacrifice of the Gentile armiesin Bozrah. Bozrah will be made into a total burning wasteland through out the millennial kingdom.

6. The Sword of the Lord will smite the Gentile Armies until there is blood up to the horses neck for 200 miles back to Jerusalem.

Reaping the Grapes of Wrath

A RIVER BLOOD WILL FLOW FROM JERUSALEM UP TO THE HORSES NECK FOR 200 MILES!

REVELATION 14:1717 Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he

also having a sharp sickle.18 And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over

fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe.” 19 So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. 20 And the winepress was trampled outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, up to the horses’ bridles, for one thousand six hundred furlongs.

The Day of the LordZechariah141 Behold, the day of the Lord is coming,

And your spoil will be divided in your midst.

2 For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem;The city shall be taken,The houses rifled,And the women ravished.Half of the city shall go into captivity,But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

The Day of the Lord

Zechariah143 Then the Lord will go forth

And fight against those nations,As He fights in the day of battle.

4 And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,Which faces Jerusalem on the east.And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two,From east to west,Making a very large valley;Half of the mountain shall move toward the northAnd half of it toward the south.

The Day of the LordZechariah14

5 Then you shall flee through My mountain valley,For the mountain valley shall reach toAzal.Yes, you shall fleeAs you fled from the earthquakeIn the days of Uzziah king of Judah.Thus the Lord my God will come,And all the saints with You.

Isaiah 4:2 -- The Renewal of Zion In that day the Branch of the Lord shall be beautiful and

glorious;And the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and appealing

For those of Israel who have escaped.3 And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion and remains in

Jerusalem will be called holy—everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem. 4 When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning, 5 then the Lord will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a covering. 6 And there will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat, for a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain.

Isaiah 2 The Future House of God on Mt. Zion in Israel

The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

2 Now it shall come to pass in the latter daysThat the mountain of the Lord’s houseShall be established on the top of the mountains,And shall be exalted above the hills;And all nations shall flow to it.

3 Many people shall come and say,“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,To the house of the God of Jacob;He will teach us His ways,And we shall walk in His paths.”For out of Zion shall go forth the law,And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

4 He shall judge between the nations,And rebuke many people;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.

• The movement will be northward to Jerusalem where He will make the victory assent to the Mount of Olives.

• There will be a gathering of all surviving Gentiles where the Messiah will divide them according to their helping Jesus' brethren the Jews. The pro-Semitic sheep gentiles will be allowed into the Kingdom and the anti-Semitic goat gentiles go into everlasting punishment.

• The Davidic throne will be established in Jerusalem and the earth will be renovated for the Messianic Kingdom that will last one thousand years.

The Lord will establish a house in Zion: Micah 4:1-5And it will come about in the last days That the mountain of the

house of the Lord Will be established as the chief of the mountains. It will be raised above the hills, And the peoples will stream to it. And many nations will come and say, "Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord And to the house of the God of Jacob, That He may teach us about His ways And that we may walk in His paths." For from Zion will go forth the law, Even the word of the Lord from Jerusalem(not heaven). And He will judge between many peoples And render decisions for mighty, distant nations. Then they will hammer their swords into plowshares And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation will not lift up sword against nation, Andnever again will they train for war.
