The Return of Yeshua will put an end to all hostility. When it appears hopeless for Israel, when Israel has her back against the wall, the L-ORD of hosts will appear. And as it is written, so it will be:

“We have heard a cry of panic, of TERROR, and NO peace. Ask now, and see, can a man bear a child? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his loins like a woman in labor? Why has every face turned pale? Alas! that day is so great, there is none like it. It is even the TIME OF JACOB’S TROUBLE; but he shall be SAVED out of it!

And on THAT day, says the L-RD of hosts, I will break the yoke from off his neck, and I will burst his bonds...”²⁰

“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [and] against Jerusalem.

“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces ^o, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

“In that day, saith the L-RD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness ^p.

“And this shall be the plague wherewith the L-RD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem: their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth²¹.

“And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague²².

“And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a great tumult from the L-RD^q shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

“And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about²³ shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.

“On THAT day I will make the settlements (clans) of Judah like a blazing pot on a pile of wood, like a flaming torch among sheaves; and they shall devour to the right and to the left all the surrounding peoples, while Jerusalem shall again be inhabited in its place, in Jerusalem.

“The L-RD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify [themselves] against Judah.

“In that day shall the L-RD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be AS DAVID; and the house of David [shall be] AS G-d, AS the angel of the L-RD^rbefore them.

“And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

“And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications ²⁴: and they shall look upon Him whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him^s, 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 shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

“And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the FAMILY of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart ^t; the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart; all the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart ²⁵.

“For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses looted and the women raped; half the city shall go into exile (i.e., flee abroad) or, be taken captive (i.e., imprisoned), but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. THEN the L-RD will go forth and fight against those nations as when He fights on a day of battle. On that day His feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives...” ²⁶

“And the L-RD shall be king over all the earth: 
in that day shall there be one L-RD, and his name One.” ²⁷

“Then all who survive of the nations that have come against Jerusalem shall go up year after year to worship the King, the L-RD of hosts, and to keep the Festival of Tabernacles.” What a joy it will be! 

All man-made calendars will have proven wrong, and those who love the truth, who yearn for peace and righteousness, for justice and godliness, will be led by the Holy Spirit to discern between false and true, genuine and counterfeit, what is of G-d and of His Spirit, and what is of an erring spirit and of the spirit of Antichrist²⁸.

All that remains of G-d’s Calendar to see its final fulfillment is the 8th day of Sukkot/Feast of Tabernacles, which is the beginning of the new heaven and the new earth. Therefore Sukkot will be celebrated by all peoples in Jerusalem until the time of the 7th day -- the Messianic Reign of one thousand years -- shall have been fulfilled.

May G-d grant us insight, wisdom and understanding to know, perceive and discern the times in the light of His Word, with the aid of His Unchangeable Calendar. And may He grant us escape and count us worthy to stand before the Son of Man, the Savior of the world, the King of Israel, Yeshua HaMashiach.
