This is a follow-up of “How Close Could We Be?”.
First be for we consider that question of “Close To What?”, it would be good to remind ourselves of some basics with GOD.
1) Everything HE said has or will come true.
2) Do we know what has not come true yet?
Questions:
Questions:
A) Have the Children of Israel fulfilled this:
i.) Leviticus 26:38 And ye shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.
40 And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their treachery which they committed against Me, and also that they have walked contrary unto Me.
a) NO!

a) NO!
B) Have then nations of the earth with their armies risen to destroy the Land of Israel?
{Ezekiel 38:8 After many days thou shalt be mustered for service, in the latter years thou shalt come against the land that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, against the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual waste; but it is brought forth out of the peoples, and they dwell safely all of them. 9 And thou shalt ascend, thou shalt come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many peoples with thee. 10 Thus saith the Lord GOD: It shall come to pass in that day, that things shall come into thy mind, and thou shalt devise an evil device; 11 and thou shalt say: I will go up against the land of unwalled villages; I will come upon them that are at quiet, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates; . . . .15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the uttermost parts of the north, thou, and many peoples with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company and a mighty army; 16 and thou shalt come up against My people Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the end of days, and I will bring thee against My land, that the nations may know Me, when I shall be sanctified through thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

OR Isaiah 11, or there are some more things that need to happen. How long?
Okay, so what exactly is missing, that are show stoppers.
1) All of the Curses and Promises have happened
2) The Children of Israel, are so stricken by events and the punishment that they “return unto the LORD thy God, and hearken to His voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul;”

If those are show stoppers then what can we expect from events in the very near future? An amount of anguish, pain and suffering for the Children of Israel seven times greater than that of the last punishment. What? If the 1940’s we not bad enough to turn our hearts back to the Source of OUR Existence, and fulfill Leviticus 26 and the end of Deuteronomy, then how bad would need to be to change our hearts?
Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.’
I would say that that verse is true. Knowledge, has greatly increased in the last twenty years, where he have found confirmations of theory and Tanakh texts can now be seen Fact. In every area of science we have proof that life here on this planet was not and could not be chance, but required a Designer with Knowledge and wisdom as far above our combined knowledge being equivalent to man standing on the sea shore on earth and the DESIGNER encompassing all visible galaxies with one hand. (Isaiah 55:8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.)
Yet, we have not understood the Living GOD of Israel, and what HE SAID through HIS Prophets.
Yet, we have not understood the Living GOD of Israel, and what HE SAID through HIS Prophets.
On Prophets, we are given a by THE ALMIGHTY means of knowing HIS prophets. From the greatest to the least.
The greatest prophet is Moses, evidence for this statement: “Numbers 12:6 And He said: ‘Hear now My words: if there be a prophet among you, I the LORD do make Myself known unto him in a vision, I do speak with him in a dream. 7 My servant Moses is not so; he is trusted in all My house; 8 with him do I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD doth he behold; wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against My servant, against Moses?’. “
Other Prophets: Deuteronomy 18:15 A prophet will the LORD thy God raise up unto thee, from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; 16 according to all that thou didst desire of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying: ‘Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.’ 17 And the LORD said unto me: ‘They have well said that which they have spoken. 18 I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which he shall speak in My name, I will require it of him.20 But the prophet, that shall speak a word presumptuously in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.’ 21 And if thou say in thy heart: ‘How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?’ 22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken; the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, thou shalt not be afraid of him.
While many signs a prophecies seem to be being fulfilled, there are things not yet accomplished that must be before the Last Day happens. We are very close, within a four years. What remains to be done, is likely to pick up speed as many seemingly impossible things have been accomplished and the last punishment and preparations for the final battle are underway. To see this, read the news on the internet and how the world is lining up to bring the remaining to completion.
