This article will chronicle the major prophesied events that must be fulfilled before Yeshua (Jesus) returns and will predict the month and year of Yeshua’s (Jesus’) return to Earth to judge the world and establish His Millennial Kingdom.
MATTHEW 24:36; MARK 13:32 (NKJV):
“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”
All preachers who have ever declared the exact date of Messiah’s (Christ’s) return are false prophets whose predictions should have never been believed in the first place. Scripture is crystal clear that no one, not even Yeshua (Jesus) Himself, knows the day or the hour of His return, but only the Father in heaven knows. How then can any mere mortal man arrogantly proclaim that he knows the exact day of Yeshua’s (Jesus’) return?
LUKE 21:22 (NKJV):
“For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.”
While we cannot know the exact day of Yeshua’s (Jesus’) return, we can know that He will not return before all the prophesied events that are foretold to precede His return are fulfilled. All of the written end-times prophecies which precede the return of Yeshua (Jesus) must first be fulfilled before Messiah (Christ) will return. Anyone who has ever proclaimed that Yeshua’s (Jesus’) return could occur before the end-times prophetic events that are foretold to precede His return are fulfilled is not prophetically accurate.
LUKE 21:8 (NKJV):
Yeshua (Jesus) said: “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore do not go after them.”
THE FOLLOWING PROPHETIC EVENTS MUST OCCUR BEFORE YESHUA (JESUS) RETURNS TO EARTH TO ESTABLISH HIS MILLENNIAL KINGDOM:
ISRAELI JEWS HAD TO BE GATHERED FROM AMONG THE NATIONS AND BROUGHT BACK TO THEIR OWN LAND, ISRAEL. YESHUA (JESUS) MUST RETURN BEFORE THE GENERATION THAT WITNESSED ISRAEL BECOME A NATION DIES OFF (EZEKIEL 34:13, 37:21; LUKE 21:29-32).
EZEKIEL 37:21 (NKJV):
Then say to them, ‘Thus says YHWH (the Lord) GOD: “Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land;”
LUKE 21:29-32 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
Then He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree [ISRAEL], and all the trees [NATIONS]. When they are already budding [MILITARIZING], you see and know for yourselves that summer [THE TIME OF THE END] is now near. So you also, when you see these things happening [TO ISRAEL AND THE NATIONS], know that the kingdom of God is near [COMING SOON]. Assuredly, I say to you, this generation [THAT SEES ISRAEL REESTABLISHED AS A NATION] will by no means pass away till all things [END-TIMES PROPHECIES] take place [ARE FULFILLED].”
The Jews of Israel (metaphorically compared to the fig tree) were gathered from all the nations and once again became a nation on May 14, 1948, in fulfillment of Scripture prophesy. The generation that saw Israel bud (expand and flourish) as a nation in the 1967 Six-Day War will not pass away before Yeshua (Jesus) returns. The return of Jews to their homeland of Israel, and Israel budding as a nation once again, set the clock in motion for the return of Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ).
The maximum time span of a generation of people is 120 years (Genesis 6:3). The latest possible date, therefore, that Yeshua (Jesus) will return is up to 120 years after Israel’s 1967 Six-Day War, in 2087. Assuming that there will be more than a few 120-year-old witnesses to His return (of the generation that will not pass away before He returns) Yeshua (Jesus) will likely return some decades before 2087.
WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS MUST HAPPEN BEFORE YESHUA (JESUS) RETURNS (MATTHEW 24:6; MARK 13:7; LUKE 21:9).
MATTHEW 24:6; MARK 13:7; LUKE 21:9:
“But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, BUT THE END IS NOT YET.”
Many wars have been fought since Yeshua (Jesus) foretold of wars and rumors of wars. World Wars I and II have been waged. There have been rumors of war and wars that have been avoided, such as the showdown between Russia and the United States of America during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Wars and rumors of wars must occur before Yeshua (Jesus) returns. Yeshua (Jesus) will not return to prevent wars, which must happen. Wars will not mark the end of the age or signal His return.
THE FIRST WOE – THE DESTRUCTION OF DAMASCUS, SYRIA MUST OCCUR BEFORE YESHUA (JESUS) RETURNS EST. YEAR: 2033-2034
The destruction of Damascus, Syria must be fulfilled before Yeshua (Jesus) returns. Damascus, the world’s oldest, continually inhabited city, is prophesied to cease from being a city and it will become a ruinous heap.
ISAIAH 10:5 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
“Woe to Assyria [SYRIA], the rod of My anger and the staff in whose hand is My indignation.”
ISAIAH 17:1 (NKJV):
“Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap.”
THE SECOND WOE – THE DESTRUCTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA MUST OCCUR BEFORE YESHUA (JESUS) RETURNS EST. YEAR: 2043-2044
The destruction of Babylon the great, the United States of America, must be fulfilled before Yeshua (Jesus) returns. (Revelation 14:8, 18). Russia and an alliance of many nations will first cripple America with an EMP attack (Jeremiah 51:31-32), then destroy America with a massive nuclear attack (Revelation 14:8, 18).
ISAIAH 18:1 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
Woe to the land [AMERICA] shadowed with buzzing (whirring) wings [COMMERCIAL AIRPLANES], which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia [ACROSS THE ATLANTIC OCEAN].
JEREMIAH 51:31-32 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
One runner will run to meet another, and one reporter to meet another, to show [INFORM] the king of Babylon [PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES] that his city [NATION] is taken [IMMOBILIZED] on all sides [FROM COAST TO COAST]; the passages [ELECTRIC CIRCUITS] are blocked [JAMMED], the reeds they have burned with fire [THE ELECTRIC GRID OF THE NATION] BY EMPs – ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE BOMBS], and the men of war [AMERICAN SOLDIERS] are terrified.
REVELATION 18:19 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
‘Alas, alas, that great city [NATION], in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her [AMERICA’S] wealth! For in one hour she [AMERICA] is made desolate.’
The American saints will be taken to Mount Zion in the American rapture, before the nuclear bombs drop on America, and will be presented to Yeshua (Jesus) the Lord.
ISAIAH 18:7 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
In that time [OF THE DESTRUCTION OF BABYLON (AMERICA)] a present [THE RAPTURED AMERICAN SAINTS] will be brought to YHWH (the Lord) of hosts from a people tall and smooth-skinned [AMERICA], and from a people awesome from their beginning onward [AMERICA] – a nation powerful and trampling [AMERICA], whose land [AMERICA] the rivers divide – to the place of the name of YHWH (the Lord) of hosts, to Mount Zion.
THE GREAT TRIBULATION MUST OCCUR BEFORE THE RETURN OF YESHUA (JESUS) EST. YEARS: 2044-2055
The great tribulation wars and global economic collapse will follow the destruction of the United States and must play out before Yeshua (Jesus) returns. Peace will be taken from the earth when the destruction of the United States, the world’s sole peacekeeper, is destroyed. Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom in the great tribulation wars. Global economic collapse occurs when the United States is destroyed, as the world’s reserve currency: the U.S. dollar, will become instantly worthless. Food rationing and famines will occur during the great tribulation years and a day’s wages will purchase the equivalent of a loaf of bread.
MATTHEW 24:7; MARK 13:8; LUKE 21:10:
“For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.”
EZEKIEL 7:19 (NKJV):
They will throw their silver into the streets and their gold will be like refuse; Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of YHWH (the Lord);
REVELATION 6:6 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
“A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the [SUPPLY OF] oil and the wine.”
REVELATION 18:11 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
“And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her [AMERICA], for no one buys their merchandise anymore:”
THE THIRD WOE – WOE TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH AND SEA. THE 7-YEAR REIGN OF THE ANTIMESSIAH (ANTICHRIST) MUST OCCUR BEFORE YESHUA (JESUS) RETURNS EST. YEARS: 2055-2062
REVELATION 12:12 (NKJV):
“Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”
REVELATION 13:16-18 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
He [ANTIMESSIAH (ANTICHRIST)] causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
The technology for the mark of the beast has been developed and is being further refined. The Antimessiah (Antichrist), will impose the mark of the beast on the entire human population, save the raptured and beheaded saints and the elect Jews of Israel, before Yeshua (Jesus) returns.
THE TEMPLE OF GOD IN ISRAEL MUST BE REBUILT AND THE MAN OF SIN, SON OF PERDITION, ANTIMESSIAH (ANTICHRIST) MUST BE REVEALED BEFORE YESHUA (JESUS) RETURNS (2 THESSALONIANS 2:1-4,7-8)
DANIEL 9:27 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
Then he [ANTIMESSIAH (ANTICHRIST)] shall confirm a covenant [PEACE TREATY] with many [NATIONS AND ISRAEL] for one week [SEVEN YEARS]; but in the middle of the week [AFTER 3 ½ YEARS] he [ANTIMESSIAH (ANTICHRIST)] shall bring an end to [JEWISH] sacrifice and offering [AT THE REBUILT TEMPLE].
2 THESSALONIANS 2:1-4,7-8 (NKJV):
Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ) and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Messiah (Christ) had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin [THE ANTIMESSIAH (ANTICHRIST)] is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes [GOD] and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the [REBUILT] temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom [YESHUA (JESUS)] the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
The ‘falling away’ is a societal falling away of nations once governed by Judeo-Christian moral values that have lost their way, and have transformed into secular societies. Abortion – the death of innocent children in the womb, homosexuality – including gay ‘marriage,’ and trans-gendering are practices that have been embraced by Western society, along with intolerance for those who hold traditional Judeo-Christian values.
The identification of the world leader known as the Antimessiah (Antichrist) will not be a mystery or a matter of guesswork or speculation. There are many antimessiahs (antichrists) living among us today who are paving the way for the arrival of the Antimessiah (Antichrist) (Matthew 24:24; 1 John 2:18). Believers will be able to positively identify the man of sin, the man of perdition, the Antimessiah (Antichrist), because He will be the popular charismatic world leader who will seat himself in the rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem, Israel, as God and declare to the world that He is God.
THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES, A TIME THE WORLD IS NOT GOVERNED, POLICED, OR RULED BY AMERICA AND HER WESTERN ALLIED NATIONS MUST OCCUR BEFORE YESHUA (JESUS) RETURNS (EZEKIEL 30:3)
EZEKIEL 30:3 (NKJV):
For the day is near; Even the day of YHWH (the Lord) is near; It will be a day of clouds, the time of the Gentiles.
The Gentile nations, after the fall of America, will be ruling and warring on the Earth before Yeshua (Jesus) returns. The Gentile nations include Russia, China, and other Asian, Middle East, and African nations.
THE ANTIMESSIAH (ANTICHRIST) WILL ERECT AN ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION IMAGE AT THE TEMPLE MOUNT SITE AND DEMAND THAT THE WORLD WORSHIP HIS IMAGE BEFORE YESHUA (JESUS) RETURNS (REVELATION 13:14-15, 14:9-11, 15:2, 16:2, 19:20, 20:4)
DANIEL 11:31 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
And military forces shall be mustered by him [ANTIMESSIAH (ANTICHRIST)], and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation.
REVELATION 13:14-15 (NKJV):
And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to MAKE AN IMAGE TO THE BEAST who was wounded by the sword and lived. He was granted power to give breath to the IMAGE OF THE BEAST, that the IMAGE OF THE BEAST should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the IMAGE OF THE BEAST to be killed.
Much of the left-behind world will be deceived and will worship the image of the beast. Those who don’t worship the beast’s image, by taking the mark of the beast, will be killed via guillotine. The Judaic Jews will reject the Antimessiah (Antichrist) as their Messiah, because he will make an image and demand that the world worship his image. (Revelation 13:14-15, 14:9-11, 15:2, 16:2, 19:20, 20:4).
The Hebrews (Jews) learned their lesson from the golden calf incident at Mt. Sinai and will never worship an image again (Exodus 32).
THE MESSIAH-DENYING JUDAIC JEWS OF ISRAEL MUST COME TO BELIEVE IN YESHUA (JESUS) BEFORE YESHUA (JESUS) RETURNS (EZEKIEL 39:27-28; MATTHEW 23:38-39; LUKE 13:35)
EZEKIEL 39:27-28 (NKJV):
When I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, AND I AM HALLOWED IN THEM IN THE SIGHT OF MANY NATIONS, then they shall know that I am YHWH (the Lord) their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back to their land, and left none of them captive any longer.
MATTHEW 23:38-39; LUKE 13:35 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
“Your house [NATION OF ISRAEL] is left to you [JEWS] desolate; for I say to you [JEWS OF ISRAEL], you [JEWS] shall see Me no more till you [JEWS] say, ‘Blessed is He [YESHUA (JESUS)] who comes in the name of [YHWH] the Lord!’”
The Judaic Messiah-denying Jewish people will come to believe in Yeshua (Jesus) as their Messiah and Savior during the reign of the Antimessiah (Antichrist) after they hear the testimony and see the miraculous power of the two witnesses of Revelation 11. It is then that the Jews of Israel will openly worship and call upon Yeshua (Jesus) as their Messiah and Savior in the sight of many nations (Ezekiel 39:27-28).
THE WORLD WILL BE ON THE BRINK OF TOTAL HUMAN ANNIHILATION (NO FLESH WOULD BE SAVED) BEFORE YESHUA (JESUS) RETURNS
MATTHEW 24:22; MARK 13:20 (NKJV):
“And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.”
Yeshua (Jesus) will return in time to prevent the total annihilation of all human life – for the sake of the elect Jews of Israel, who will call on Him to save them from annihilation from the Antimessiah (Antichrist) in their darkest hour (Matthew 24:22; Mark 13:20).
The most likely year of Yeshua’s (Jesus’) return can be calculated using Scripture prophecy with an understanding of the order in which end-times events will be fulfilled, observing the geopolitical actions of the nations, and having a general understanding of the signs in the heavens with projections from the NASA space agency, the European Space Agency, and others. Future tetrad (set of four) blood moons with a solar eclipse are scheduled to occur in 2033-2034, 2043-2044, 2050-2051, and 2061-2062.
Scripture Truth Ministries predicts that the blood moons of 2033-2034 will signal the destruction of Damascus, Syria, followed by the blood moons of 2043-2044 that will signal the destruction of the United States. The destruction of the United States marks the beginning of the great tribulation. The great tribulation will last from 2044-2055. The reign of the Antimessiah (Antichrist) will follow the great tribulation and will last seven years, from 2055 until 2062. Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ) will return to Earth and defeat the Antimessiah (Antichrist) and his armies in 2062 following the four blood moons, solar eclipse, and return of Halley’s Comet that will occur between 2061-2062.
THE SIGNS OF YESHUA’S (JESUS’) IMMINENT RETURN
JOEL 2:30-31; ACTS 2:19-20 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
“I will show wonders in the heavens [HALLEY’S COMET 2061] and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke [REVELATION 14:11]. The sun shall be turned into darkness [SOLAR ECLIPSE APRIL 20, 2061], and the moon into blood [TETRAD BLOOD MOON CYCLE: APRIL 4, 2061 – SEPTEMBER 18, 2062], before the great and awesome day of YHWH (the Lord).”
REVELATION 14:9-11 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
“If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb [YESHUA (JESUS)]. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”
It should be noted that the blood, fire, and pillars of smoke judgment coming to those who receive the mark of the beast will occur before the return of Yeshua (Jesus).
Halley’s comet will revisit the Earth in 2061 on a trajectory course that will bring it closer to the Earth than when it passed by in 1986. A real possibility exists that Halley’s comet will not only be a wonder in the heavens to observe, but also that God will direct Halley’s Comet to strike the Earth or the Moon in judgment against the people of the Earth who received the mark of the beast.
A SOLAR ECLIPSE, BLOOD MOONS, HALLEY’S COMET, THE SUN BEING DARKENED, AND THE MOON NOT GIVING ITS LIGHT ARE ALL HARBINGERS OF DEATH, DISASTER, AND THE IMMINENT RETURN OF YESHUA (JESUS)
Wonders in the heavens, the Sun being darkened, the Moon being turned to blood and not giving its light, and the blood, fire, and pillars of smoke judgment comes before the return of Yeshua (Jesus). If Halley’s Comet were to strike either the Earth or the Moon, it would result in blood, fire, and pillars of smoke upon the Earth.
MATTHEW 24:29; MARK 13:24 (NKJV):
“The sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light.”
If Halley’s comet were to strike the Moon, it would be a spectacular wonder in the heavens to behold and would afterward rain meteors down upon Earth causing blood, fire, and pillars of smoke in fulfillment of Scripture prophecy. Also, if Halley’s Comet were to collide with the Moon, it would cause the Moon to not give its light.
Scripture Truth Ministries believes that Halley’s Comet will strike the Moon at its closest approach to Earth on or about July 28-29, 2061, which will be seen on Earth as a ‘wonder in the heavens.’ If Halley’s Comet strikes the Moon, it would be the greatest cosmic event ever eye-witnessed by mankind and would result in the Moon not giving its light, followed by meteors reigning down on Earth causing blood, fire, and pillars of smoke upon the Earth, and then the Sun would be darkened.
Many who receive the mark of the beast will be judged with blood, fire, and pillars of smoke before the return of Yeshua (Jesus) (Joel 2:31; Acts 2:20; Revelation 14:9-11).
However, not everyone who receives the mark of the beast will receive the blood, fire, and pillars of smoke judgment from God, as some will survive this judgment and will be hiding in caves (underground bunkers) when Yeshua (Jesus) returns.
REVELATION 6:15-17 (BSB) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the commanders, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and free man hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains. And they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One [GOD THE FATHER] seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb [YESHUA (JESUS)]. For the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to withstand it?”
Joel 2:31 and Acts 2:20 proclaim that the Sun would be turned to darkness and the Moon into blood before the return of Yeshua (Jesus).
JUDE 1:14-15 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
“Behold, [YESHUA (JESUS)] the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
The last tetrad blood moon of 2061-2062 is set to occur on September 18, 2062. The Feast of Trumpets, also known as Rosh HaShana and Yom Teruah, of 2062 begins at sundown on Wednesday, October 4, 2062, and ends at sundown on Friday, October 6, 2062, which are dates shortly after the last tetrad blood moon on September 18, 2062.
Scripture Truth Ministries predicts that Yeshua (Jesus) will return to Earth with His resurrected and raptured saints to judge the world and then establish His Millennial Kingdom in October of 2062 on the Gregorian calendar or Tishrei, 5823 on the Hebrew calendar, most likely during the Feast of Trumpets, on October 4th through October 6th, 2062.
