I would be negligent if I didn't try to warn the future people of Jerusalem, indeed Israel, of the things about to befall them. I won't say this of my own accord but will quote directly from scripture. What you read here can be verified in your own Hebrew scriptures. This message is for YOU Jerusalem & Israel. I'm currently looking for a translator that translates webpages from English to Hebrew, when I find one I'll add that link here. Please, please understand what has been foretold, make yourselves ready!

        Jerusalem & Israel ... please heed the warnings from the Messiah ... your lives may well depend on it. I pray the Lord God be merciful on you, I adore you as though you were my own people, truly we are in a historical sense ... way, way back we are kin, from the days before the flood. I feel as much a burden for you and your future as perhaps some of the great prophets. No, I'm no prophet ... but I do take it upon myself to remind you of your future as it is written in the holy words of God.

        OK here we go ...

Zechariah 12:11 "In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon." {"In that day" IS the same as "the day of the LORD", it is the return of the Messiah. Notice I said RETURN!}

Zechariah 13:8-9 "And it shall come to pass, [that] in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off [and] die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It [is] my people: and they shall say, The LORD [is] my God." {The "land" is Jerusalem, and quite possibly Israel as a whole, yet future, where two thirds of those living in her shall die, and only a third of them shall be left alive. But read on, even those are not safe!}

Zechariah 14:1-3 "Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle." {This is referring to the "day of the LORD" so it has NOT occured but is yet future! Notice half the city of Jerusalem after Zech 13:8-9 in this future time will go into captivity. Watch now as the Messiah comes!}

Zechariah 14:4-5 "And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which [is] before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, [and there shall be] a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. And ye shall flee [to] the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, [and] all the saints with thee."{A great earthquake will split the Mt of Olives in TWO ... pay attention!!! FLEE, like as you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah the king of Judah ... FLEE to the valley of the mountains! That is where you go! For your sake ... remember this!!! The Messiah returns "on this day" and He has foretold where those in Jerusalem at the time of His return should flee to!}

        The warnings are clear: A great war where ALL NATIONS gather against Jerusalem (perhaps all of Israel), AND a GREAT EARTHQUAKE tears the city of Jerusalem in two at the Mount of Olives. There are many, many other scriptures telling of these terrible times, I'm only quoting ones that you can look up in your own version of the Holy Word of God. It's in there ... go look! If you are so inclinded you could even search online Bible and Hebrew scriptural search engines for keywords like: 'earthquake', 'day of the Lord', 'in that day', 'Jerusalem'. There is NO excuse in this day and age to not search the scriptures and know the truth! Be warned, be ready ... please!

        Both Jews and Gentiles believe the Messiah is soon coming! The difference is the Jews believe He is coming this once and has not been here before, whereas Gentiles believe He is returning a second time ... His first time here was in the personage of Jesus of Nazareth. My intent here is not to prove what I believe to be true, although I am admittedly providing scripture to that fact, my goal is to warn those that *may be living in Jerusalem & Israel* of the things yet to befall the land. Even if you are NOT there now, heed this warning, you never know ... you may yet end up there! I pray you remember the passages quoted here and that your life may be spared ... amen!

        To the precious, chosen people of God, Jesus IS the Messiah ~ you may not believe it now but here written in your own book of the so called *minor prophet*: Zechariah 12:10 "And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for [his] only [son], and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for [his] firstborn." and here again we read: Zechariah 13:6-7 "And [one] shall say unto him, What [are] these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, [Those] with which I was wounded [in] the house of my friends. Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man [that is] my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones." {Oh my sweet soul, He calls you friends! He loves you Israel, please don't forget that, He has interceded for you from the beginning of time ... you ARE His chosen people! The "wounds (in the hands) are in Jesus' body, even His resurrected body, they are the nail holes from His cruscifiction. Remnant people of Jerusalem & Israel, when you realize that your ancestors ultimately caused the physical death of your Messiah you will deeply mourn the actions of your ancestors and God will grant you the gift of eternal life through Jesus, His only begotten Son.

        Don't get me wrong, this is not an anti-Jew (Semitic) page! God is grand in His purpose & intent and I am greatful the Lord blinded you at the time as it afforded many Gentiles the gift of eternal life, me being among them. So, I thank you and pray for you continually! Be of good cheer, forgiveness was called out for the people of Israel before He gave up His spirit! I will keep you in my prayers as indeed I already do "pray for the peace of Jerusalem" and all of God's chosen people no matter where you may be in the world. You might be interested in reading some of my other writings from Deb's Diary, in particular my article Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem, and from my in-the-works website called The Lamb's Wife (end-time prophecies now and into the future). If just one person in future Jerusalem is saved by the reading & the remembering of this article then I've done what I was commanded to do ... and my effort is not in vain. Shalom!
