Greetings Keith,
Thank you for your message.  All is well with the Mendez family.  I apologize for being late with our response for our Prophet Pearls episode entry.  We were expecting it after the turn of the new year, but I understand your challenge and need to record it sooner.  We’ll probably be too late.  However, allow me to send my comments even if is not included in your broadcast.  Within this Prophet Pearls scripture selection is an extremely important “veiled” message that I believe must be proclaimed for the sake of the Church and Messianic groups, which are really one and the same for Yeshua’s sake. 

Let me explain.  I have involved myself in the study of the book of Daniel for the same reason that Daniel, in his prophetic book, summons Yehovah by prayer and fasting for specific answers regarding prophetic utterances involving the future of his people, Israel.  I too have been seeking Yehovah for answers regarding the “end time” plan of Yehovah with respect to His Church (Ekklesia; the called out ones), which, by the way, includes the Messianic groups and all who believe in Yeshua, as Saviour.  The key lies in the story of Israel as found in the Book of Daniel and foretold in the book of Jeremiah and Isaiah and so forth.  

Daniel 1:1-4, 6  1* ¶ In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.  2* And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God; and he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god: and he brought the vessels into the treasure-house of his god.  3* And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in certain of the children of Israel, even of the seed royal and of the nobles;  4* youths in whom was no blemish, but well-favored, and skilful in all wisdom, and endued with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability to stand in the king’s palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.  6* Now among these were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.

Check this out.  At birth, my Dad named me Jacob Daniel.  I believe, somehow God was in it and somehow it draws me, like an electro-magnet, to the knowledge of Yehovah and all that He is and does.  Wouldn’t you know it, both Daniel and Jacob are part of this Prophet Pearls episode.  The other peculiar thing is that I am a twin with like vision in ministry as my brother Paul and we discovered that our timely birth-date coincides exactly with the birth of a nation, Israel.  Go figure.  We celebrated our 67th birthday along with Israel this year, mid-day, on November 29, 1947.  Some folks think that Israel, as we know it today, was birthed in May 14, 1948.  Not so.  Israel was reborn in November 29,1947 (by final decision at the General Assembly conference table) then inaugurated in May 14, 1948.  It is in the history books.  This opened my eyes big-time because God’s prophetic timepiece, regarding the seventieth week, started ticking at the re-birth of the nation of Israel, as foretold and intricately described in the book of Daniel.  Somehow, I feel that these twins have a calling on their lives regarding such a time as this. 

The scripture reading in Jeremiah 46:13-28 is about the judgement of Yehovah regarding the sin of his Chosen Ones of Israel at the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the ruler from Babylon of the Golden Kingdom, and snatching it away from the hand of Pharaoh-necho of Egypt.  Verses 13-26, speak of the hand of God pressing in on these two mighty kingdoms battling for supremacy.  It involves the judgement of God upon Israel for its sins and upon Egypt and its gods, as both become submitted to the single supreme kingdom of Babylon.  For the first time, since the account of The Tower of Babel, Yehovah allowed this nation to become the supreme kingdom.  Through this judgement, Yehovah establishes the beginning of the “Time of the Gentiles” and through Daniel, the “revealer of dreams,” foretells about God’s plan to fulfil his promise to Jacob surnamed Israel, as written.

Prophet Pearls Scripture:  Promise of Hope, yet under punishment.
Jeremiah 46:27-28  27* But fear not thou, O Jacob my servant, neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.  28* Fear not thou, O Jacob my servant, saith Jehovah; for I am with thee: for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee; but I will not make a full end of thee, but I will correct thee in measure, and will in no wise leave thee unpunished.

Companion Scripture:  Daniel the “Revealer of Dreams”
Daniel 1:1-4,6  1* ¶ In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.  2* And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God; and he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god: and he brought the vessels into the treasure-house of his god.  3* And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in certain of the children of Israel, even of the seed royal and of the nobles;  4* youths in whom was no blemish, but well-favored, and skilful in all wisdom, and endued with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability to stand in the king’s palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.  6* Now among these were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.

Isaiah’s Prophetic View: Second Witness
Isaiah 39: 5-7 ¶ Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of Jehovah of hosts:  6* Behold, the days are coming, when all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith Jehovah.  7 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon. 

Interestingly enough, God’s Prophetic Plan for the ages, regarding three classes of people; Jews, Gentiles and the New Testament Church, is unveiled within this scripture reading of this Prophet Pearls Bible study in the book of Daniel by way of Jeremiah and Isaiah etc.  Yet, I find, that this amazing prophetic message from Yehovah Himself has remained “veiled” within the archives of scripture during the time when it is most needed.  

As former pastor, I have personally witnessed that few Church groups, including Messianic, speak of it or study it in depth.  When they do, they seem to stumble over it, which often results in arguments and division.  My question is why?  Could it be they lack good resources and true witnesses?  Or could it be that they’ve been hoodwinked by the “evil one” because they lack discernment of his evil deeds, like that of interjecting a lie with God’s Word of Truth?  The evil-one knows how to thwart Yehovah’s warning messages, and cover up his intent to steal God’s throne in the seventieth week, as foretold in Daniel’s prophesy.  The evil-one even attempts to derail God’s “elect” and “select” about being prepared for Messiah’s Return.  Could it be that the “elect” and the “select” are caught in the “hubbub” of the kosmos” (economic world system) of the prince of the air.  Yet, I believe, this is the most important message for our times.  What is the message?  

The “Time Of The Gentiles” is at hand and the “Seventieth Week” is upon us! 

My question is, “Are we ready for Yeshua’s Return?”  This message is clearly inscribed in the Old and New Torah (Instruction) of Yehovah Elohim by way of three messengers; Daniel beloved by God, John the beloved of Yeshua and Paul called by Yeshua yet is the least of the apostles.  These three messengers heard Yehovah’s voice directly from heaven’s gate and received special instruction about preparing for the “End Time Event of Yehovah’s Wrath” which is the seventieth week of Daniel. 
  
1) Daniel – Revealer of “The Times of the Gentiles” 
2) John – Revealer of “The Time-Gap/Panorama of the Church & Tribulation”
3) Paul – Revealer of “Mystery of the Ekkesia (Church) & the Resurrection”

1) & 2) Bridge the Gap; Old Torah to the New Torah (Instruction) of the Last Days
Prophecy… (the NT book of Hebrews is the catalyst)
3) Unveils the Mystery of the Ekklesia including it’s heavenly calling. 
   • Book of and for Hebrews merges the OT & NT; Don’t slip back – Grow up – milk to meat.
   • Ekklesia Mystery; Gospel message, infilling of the HS, no diff between Jew & Greek… 
   • Bodily Resurrection plan of God of 1 Corinthians 15:1-58; can’t leave town/eretz
without it.

From Yeshua’s Return study (above) two pathways, leading to the Gate of Heaven, appear.  The first pathway, at the last trump of Yom Teruah, leads believers (Jew and Gentile) to the wedding bethrothal of Yeshua HaMachiach in the New Zion. The second pathway, at the final trump at Yom Kippur, the surviving remnant of the “elect” and the nations are brought to the throne of Yeshua in Zion of eretz when He Returns the 2nd time to fulfill His promises to;
1-put away evil,
2-host the wedding feast of the Yeshua and
3-bring judgement before the millennium of rest begins. 

This truth needs to be published.  We need the zealousness of Daniel to seek God’s Timing of this most important event.  Like Daniel and John the beloved, Messiah calls us, the children of light, with the “voice of a trumpet” saying,.” Today He says, behold, I stand at the door and knock.”  If we hear His voice and open the door of our hearts, He will come in and will speak to us and lead us to the gate of heaven Revelation 4:1.  Both paths involve the Millennial reign of Yeshua the King of Kings.  It is a matter of “Nazal” for the Ekklesia and the 2nd Coming of the Messiah for the resurrected Nation of Israel, as they enter the Millennium of Rest.  This is my source of hope according to the promises of Yehovah. (1 Corinthians 13:13 and Romans 5:1-5 and also 1 Corinthians 15:1:58 and much much more)

I greatly appreciate your ministry, Keith.  Thank you for responding to God’s call regarding Time Torah & Tetragrammaton.  My wish is that Paul and I could sit down with you and search the scriptures and discuss them together, especially regarding this theme.  There is so much to learn and teach to those that are seemingly clueless or mute about this; The “Time Of The Gentiles” is at hand and the Seventieth Week is upon us!  Are we ready?  Also, what a joy it would be to learn Hebrew with you and Nehemiah; in Israel even?  Yet I know, there is little chance of that, since you are busy men handling important matters of Yehovah.  I know that all is in Yehovah’s hands.  Blessings to you and yours and to all BFA visitors and supporters.
