Zechariah 14:16-21 and Revelation 20- The Transmission of Holiness in 70AD/ Bar Kochba

 Zechariah 14:16-21 and Revelation 20- The Transmission of Holiness in 70AD/ Bar Kochba 


When the 144,000 came down from the mountains of Pella/wilderness, they returned to the ancient ruins of Jerusalem-70AD (camp of the saints- Revelation 20:9). Just like the exiles left Babylon to Jerusalem in order to rebuild. 


By being exposed to the Heavenly hosts in worship in the mountains of Pella (Revelation 14:1-5), they were glorified /transfigured into the sons and daughters of Light (dressed like a bride/similar to shiny face Moses in Sinai) (Revelation 21:2; Matthew 5:14). The spoils of the previous war that remained behind were used to rebuild Jerusalem (Obadiah 1:17). The presence of the 144,000 made everything in Jerusalem Holy again.


In the Old Covenant, transmitting Holiness was limited to things in the Temple/Tabernacle/offerings. It was easy to defile one's possessions and self.


In the New Covenant, transmitting Holiness can be seen in Zechariah 14:16-21. It is now impossible to defile one's possessions and self.


After 70AD, the Gentile nations are drawn to the small Christian presence in Jerusalem during the reign of Roman  Emperor Hadrian. 


Just like in the Book of Esther, during the Jerusalem rebuilding project, Haman the Gogite (Gog of Magog) attacks the city and is defeated. Likewise, Simon Bar Kochba (Inverted Gog of Magog imagery) attacks the city and is defeated.


Other Important Verses : Haggai 2:13-14, Matthew 9:19-22, Luke 8:43-48. Jeremiah 31:23. Zechariah 8:3, Isaiah 1:26, Jeremiah 32:44.

And there shall no longer be a trader in the house of the Lord of hosts on that day.

13 Reasons Why a Spiritual Resurrection in 70 AD Should Be Considered Over a Physical Resurrection

13 Reasons Why a Spiritual Resurrection in 70 AD Should Be Considered Over a Physical Resurrection 1. When did the Old Testament (OT) Saints leave Sheol/Hades to go to Heaven? Surprisingly, many believe that the OT Saints went to Heaven at the Cross. This is not true. In Acts 2, we see that Christ the Greater David was the ONLY person granted a physical resurrection AND ascension. The physical resurrection and ascension of Christ in 30AD pointed as well as confirmed the spiritual resurrection of the OT saints in 70 AD. King David was still in his grave, not Christ. See Acts 2:22-34. When Christ ascended to Heaven in Acts 1:9-11, He ascended ALONE. Later, in Acts 7:60, when Stephen was stoned to death, it says he fell ASLEEP . It says NOTHING about his spirit going up to Heaven with the Lord.  This is especially confirmed if you read Psalm 31 in its full context. Otherwise, you are imposing something foreign into the text. In Matthew 27:51-53, there were a number of dead saints w

From Grave to Glory (G2G)-A Preterist Postmillennial Commentary-Revelation 12-22

Image
Revelation 12 V1-2: We see the same imagery of Joseph’s dream here in Genesis 37:9-11. Israel (representing Jerusalem as well in Matthew 2:18) is described as the Daughter of Zion-a dying mother; specifically, Rachel who died tragically during pregnancy. See Isaiah 50:1, 54:1-6, 66:7; Jeremiah 4:31; Micah 4:9-10; Galatians 4:27; Jeremiah 31:15; Matthew 2:18. Although Jerusalem will be destroyed, the remnant will represent a glimmer of hope similar to Benjamin and Christ's respective births. The woman clothed with the sun represents the exalted status of Israel among all nations. However, the moon is under her feet, which represents the waning status of the Old Covenant. The moon reflects light from the sun. The twelve stars represent the twelve tribes of Israel. The dying Daughter of Zion was about to give birth to Christ and the Church. V3: The Dragon’s seven heads have crowns at this time, which means the Roman Empire was in control. This represents Satan’s authority over the Rom
