It was suggested that we post more stuff, so I decided that this would be a good way for those who come and visit to see some of the discussion we have had before about the Pharisees, along with how this connects with modern israel, leading up to how the Sanhedrin could be more of a force or any of a number of things could happen.
Jesus said famously that the day of the Lord would be like in the days of Noah. But, we also see numerous times in the Bible that God uses familiar patterns, and in fact sometimes something happens once and then the more complete fulfillment of that prophecy happens later.
so much seems to be happening in modern Israel that leads up to becoming of the messiah, but which will lead first to the antichrist. A lot of people point to the slow production of all of the Third Temple items, or obviously to the retaking of Jerusalem or Israel becoming a nation once more in 1948.
but one familiar pattern I keep seeing is how israel, after Decades of being beaten down by the Palestinians, is finding itself more and more Guided by Pharisees, just as they were in the first century AD. I don't know this for a fact but I'm sure that it's possible that the Pharisees of the day even told people that they were having all those rules in part to help protect them from the romans. After all, they said they had no king but Caesar.
so, This Thread is a discussion of how things are lining up to be just like in Jesus day, how these modern-day Pharisees are ruling Israel and how the people maybe seduced into following them, and eventually into following the antichrist, because of the cries of peace and safety.
one thing that is of Interest also is the Sanhedrin. Honestly, until they formed once more some years back, that is one thing I never thought I would hear. And perhaps that is what first started me thinking about how Israel and the 21st century, as the day approaches when the Lord calls us home and the time of Jacob's troubles begins, resembles Israel of the first century more and more.
of course, they ultimately rejected jesus, but they did accept him at first because they thought he would free them from Roman rule. They will ultimately accept their false Messiah, and I always thought that they would do this because he would free them from Terror and the constant attacks by Islamic groups that do not want Israel to exist. That may still be true. But, as there is more and more of a divide in israel, I wonder if the Antichrist will be welcomed and hailed as a hero to Israel because he will offer a plan that will clear up the entire mess going on over there right now. Maybe no judicial reform in exchange for a third temple?
obviously, not everything will mirror the events of the Gospels. However, here is a good place to discuss just how much the rulers right now in Israel are like the pharisees. And, what it was like back then in the first century.
