Blessed are You, YHVH our Elohim, Creator of the universe, who desires covenantal intimacy with Your called-out ones – blessed are those whom You have called and given a heart that longs for and deeply desires Your covenantal life. Please, YHVH, our Elohim, sweeten the words of Your Torah in our hearts and in the hearts of Your people, the family of Israel. May we and our offspring and the offspring of Your people, the house of Jacob – all of us – know Your Name and study Your Torah to enable us to sincerely love one another and to love You above all. Please uncover our eyes and open our hearts that we may carefully examine and receive the marvels and mysteries of Your Torah. Blessed are You, YHVH, who has created and established Your covenant with the set apart ones of Israel – through Yahshua our Messiah - Amein.
Gen
41:1 ויהי מקץ שׁנתים ימים ופרעה חלם והנה עמד על־היאר׃
Joseph
Interprets Pharaohs Dreams.
Gen
41:1 And it came to be, at the end (מקץ) of two years’ time, that Pharaoh
had a dream,
and saw
him standing by the river,
enter a
new season? And why does it feel that these seasons carry on for such a long
time?
brothers
created opportunities for repentance, showing that new seasons often require
reconciliation
and healing.
Miketz
teaches that YHVH determines the “end” of each season. Our role is to remain
faithful,
discerning, and prepared, trusting that when the appointed moment arrives,
doors
will
open suddenly and others close by divine design.
The
Hebrew word מקץ (miketz, meaning at the end of) in Genesis 41:1 marks the dramatic
conclusion
of Joseph’s 13 years of obscurity and suffering, transitioning into an era of
salvation
and
global provision. Typologically, this mirrors the last days prophecies where a
period of
global
crisis gives way to the Messianic Millennial Kingdom
YHVH
intended to prepare us and give us future insight and understanding into His future
plans for His called out ones in the midst of the greatest chaos ever seen on
earth.
Many
believers in the world today, including ourselves share an inner conviction
that we are living in a ‘miketz’’ moment.
Many sense that we are living in times where dramatic and drastic
changes are about to take place. Things
can’t just carry on the way they have been.
Experts
confirm that global wealth has reached unprecedented levels in the past six
years,
with total household wealth surpassing $470 trillion in 2025, the
highest in
recorded
history. However, this wealth is highly concentrated, with the richest 1.6% of
adults
holding
nearly half of it. Global Wealth Report 2025’ ($470 = 7.99 quadrillion rands or
7,990,000,000,000,000 rands – South Africa’s household wealth is $1.357
trillion or 22.45 trillion rands - The Richest 10% owns more than 85% of all household
assets in South Africa)
Def household wealth - It is a measure of stored
value built up over decades or generations.
In South Africa, the typical Black household owns 5
per cent of the wealth held by the typical White household. In the US, the
typical Black household owns 6 per cent of the wealth held by the typical White
household. In both countries, a racial wealth gap exists at different levels of
education and income.
Some experts project global wealth to be in the
range of $1.5 quadrillion,
‘’If you were to combine both the $1.5 quadrillion
human-and-financial model with the global valuation of all untapped natural
resources, the total theoretical value of Earth and its inhabitants would hover
closer to $1.7 or $1.8 quadrillion.’’ (1800 trillion dollars) AI
The world has experienced an unprecedented surge in
paper wealth over the last six years (roughly spanning 2020 to 2026)
This may
be a sign that the fragile years of super abundance are coming to an end.
The scriptures contain several explicit prophetic
passages that describe a sudden, catastrophic collapse of the global economic
and financial system. In Christian eschatology (the study of the end
times), these events are predicted to occur during a final period of
tribulation before the second coming of the Messiah.
The most detailed description of a global financial
collapse is found in Revelation chapter 18.
In this passage, the Scripture uses the symbolic name "Babylon the
Great" to describe a highly sophisticated, hyper-materialistic global
market system that controls international trade.
The "One Hour" Collapse: The text
emphasizes that the entire global economic system will implode with staggering
speed: "In one hour such great riches came to nothing"
(Revelation 18:17).
The Mourning of the Merchants: The passage
describes global supply chains completely freezing up, leaving international
corporations and shipping magnates devastated because the consumer market has
died: "And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for
no one buys their merchandise anymore" (Revelation 18:11).
Rev 6:6 - A voice cries out: "A quart of wheat
for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the
oil and the wine."
In the ancient world, a denarius was a full day's
wage for a working man. A quart of wheat was just enough food to keep
one person alive for a single day.
Economists and biblical scholars interpret this imagery
as a prediction of severe global hyperinflation, where an entire day's
salary is required just to buy bread to survive, while luxury goods ("oil
and wine") remain untouched and out of reach for the common citizen
Ezekiel 7:19: Predicting a complete societal and
financial breakdown, the prophet states: "They will throw their silver
into the streets, and their gold will be like refuse(niddâh); their silver and their gold
will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the YHVH."
Many theologians note that the Scriptures links this
financial collapse to the rise of a highly centralized global government.
According to Revelation 13:16–17, a political system emerges from the chaos
that forces absolute control over the economy. It mandates that "no one
may buy or sell except one who has the mark"—implying a completely
cashless, tightly tracked, and weaponized financial infrastructure.
Very few people in the world believe this - Mat 24:37 “And as the days
of Noaḥ, so also shall the coming of the Son of Aḏam be.
Luk
17:28 “And likewise, as it came to be in the days of Lot:
Gen
41:1 And it came to be, at the end (מקץ) of two years’ time, that Pharaoh
had a dream,
and saw
him standing by the river,
Gen
41:2 and saw seven cows coming up out of the river, beautiful looking and
fat, and they
fed
amongst the reeds,
Gen
41:3 then saw seven other cows coming up after them out of the river,
ugly and lean of
flesh,
and stood by the other cows on the bank of the river.
Gen
41:4 And the ugly and lean of flesh cows ate up the seven beautiful
looking and fat
cows.
Then Pharaoh awoke.
Gen
41:5 And he slept and dreamed a second time and saw seven heads of grain
coming
up on
one stalk, plump and good,
Gen
41:6 and saw seven lean heads, scorched by the east wind, coming up after
them.
Gen
41:7 And the seven lean heads swallowed the seven plump and complete
heads. Then
Pharaoh
awoke and saw it was a dream.
Gen
41:8 And it came to be in the morning that his spirit was moved, and he
sent and called
for all
the magicians of Mitsrayim and all its wise men. And Pharaoh related to them
his
dreams,
but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh.
Gen
41:9 Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my
crimes this
day.
Gen
41:10 “When Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in
confinement in the
house of
the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker,
Gen
41:11 each one of us dreamed a dream in one night, he and I. Each of us
dreamed
according
to the interpretation of his own dream.
Gen
41:12 “And there was with us a Hebrew youth, a servant of the captain of
the guard.
And we
related to him, and he interpreted our dreams for us. To each man he
interpreted
according
to his own dream.
Gen
41:13 “And it came to be, as he interpreted for us, so it came to be. He
restored me to
my
office, and he hanged him.”
Gen
41:14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Yosěph, and they hurriedly brought him
out of the
dungeon.
And he shaved and changed his garments, and came to Pharaoh.
Gen
41:15 And Pharaoh said to Yosěph, “I have dreamed a dream, and there is
no one to
interpret
it. Now I myself have heard it said of you that you understand a dream, to
interpret
it.”
Gen
41:16 And Yosěph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me, let Elohim
answer
Pharaoh
with peace.”
Gen
41:17 And Pharaoh said to Yosěph, “See, in my dream I stood on the bank
of the river
Gen
41:18 and saw seven cows coming up out of the river, beautiful looking
and fat, and
they fed
amongst the reeds,
Gen
41:19 then saw seven other cows coming up after them, poor and very ugly
and lean of
flesh,
such ugliness as I have never seen in all the land of Mitsrayim.
Gen
41:20 “And the lean of flesh and ugly cows ate up the first seven, the
fat cows.
Gen
41:21 “Yet when they had eaten them up, no one would have known that they
had
eaten
them, for they were as ugly as at the beginning. Then I awoke.
Gen
41:22 “Also, I looked in my dream and saw seven heads coming up on one
stalk,
complete
and good,
Gen
41:23 then saw seven heads, withered, lean, scorched by the east wind,
coming up
after
them.
Gen
41:24 “And the lean heads swallowed the seven good heads. And I spoke to
the
magicians,
but there was no one who could explain it to me.”
Gen
41:25 And Yosěph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. Elohim
has shown
Pharaoh
what He is about to do: (this same pattern will be repeated in the last
days)
Gen
41:26 “The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are
seven
years –
it is one dream.
Gen
41:27 “And the seven lean and ugly cows which came up after them are
seven years,
and the
seven empty heads scorched by the east wind are seven years of scarcity of
food.
Gen
41:28 “This is the word which I spoke to Pharaoh: Elohim has shown
Pharaoh what He
is about
to do.
Gen
41:29 “See, seven years of great plenty are coming in all the land of
Mitsrayim,
Gen
41:30 but after them seven years of scarcity of food shall arise and all
the plenty be
forgotten
in the land of Mitsrayim. And the scarcity of food shall destroy the
land,
Gen
41:31 and the plenty shall not be remembered in the land, because of the
scarcity of
food
following, for it is very severe.
Gen
41:32 “And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the word is
established
by
Elohim, and Elohim is hastening to do it.
Gen
41:33 “And now, let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man, and set
him over the
land of
Mitsrayim.
Gen
41:34 “Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land,
to take up
one-fifth
of the land of Mitsrayim in the seven years of plenty.
Gen
41:35 “And let them gather all the food of those good years that are
coming, and store
up grain
under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
Gen
41:36 “And the food shall be for a store for the land for the seven years
of scarcity of
food
which shall be in the land of Mitsrayim, and do not let the land be cut off by
the scarcity
of
food.”
Joseph
Rises to Power
Gen
41:37 And the word was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all
his
servants.
The prophet Daniel gives a profound timetable for the end
time events, including the first and second coming of the Messiah.
Dan
9:24 “Seventy weeks are decreed for your people and for your set-apart
city, to put an
end to
the transgression, and to seal up sins, and to cover crookedness, and to bring
in
everlasting
righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint the Most Set-
apart.
Dan
9:27 “And he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week. And in the
middle of the
week he
shall put an end to slaughtering and meal offering. And on the wing of
abominations
he shall
lay waste, even until the complete end and that which is decreed is poured out
on
the one
who lays waste.”a Footnote: a Mat_24:15.
Mat
24:15 “So when you see the ’abomination that lays waste,’b Dan_11:31
spoken of by
Dani’ěl
the prophet, set up in the set-apart place” – he who reads, let him understand
–
Footnote:
bSee also Dan_9:27 and Abomination that lays waste in Explanatory Notes.
Mat
24:16 “then let those who are in Yehuḏah flee to the mountains.
Mat
24:17 “Let him who is on the house-top not come down to take whatever out
of his
house.
Mat
24:18 “And let him who is in the field not turn back to get his
garments.
The last
days (or end-times) relevance of Genesis 41 relies on prophetic typology, where
Joseph’s
life and the global crisis he managed serve as a blueprint for future biblical
events.
In
Christian and Jewish eschatology, this chapter provides structural parallels to
the end of
the age.
Additional Midrash:
Of Yahshua.
From
Prison to the Throne: Joseph is suddenly elevated from a dungeon to rule over
Egypt,
second only to Pharaoh. This parallels humiliation, resurrection, and ultimate
cosmic
exaltation of Yahshua.
The
Gentile Bride: Upon
his exaltation, Joseph is given a Gentile bride, Asenath (Gen
41:45)
and a new name - Zaphenath-Paneah, which is traditionally interpreted
As Savior
of the World or Revealer of Secret or bread man of life. (exact meaning is
uncertain)
The
Seven Years of Tribulation: The structure of the timeline in Genesis 41 mirrors
the standard end timeline found in the Books of Daniel and Revelation.
The
seven years of severe, global famine are frequently compared to the future
seven-year Tribulation period.
The
Purpose of the Crisis:
The famine forced the entire known world including Joseph’s
estranged
brothers (representing Israel)—to travel to Egypt and bow before him to buy
grain.
Prophetic
teachers point out that the future Tribulation is designed to bring Israel to a
point of
spiritual
brokenness where they will ultimately recognize the Messiah they previously
rejected.
Genesis
41 outlines a total centralization of resources to survive a global
catastrophe.
A Global
Economic Monopoly: To survive, the entire world becomes financially dependent
on a
single provider (Joseph). In later chapters, the people sell their money,
livestock, land,
and
eventually their own freedom to the state to buy food.
The
End-Times Parallel: Prophecy watchmen compare this absolute governmental
control
over
food distribution to the economic system described in Revelation 13 (the Mark
of the
Beast system),
where no one can buy or sell resources without submission to a centralized
authority.
Joseph’s system was benevolent and life-saving, but it serves as a structural
blueprint
for how quickly global populations will trade liberty for physical survival
during a
planetary
crisis.
The
Call for Divine Discernment:
Pharaoh
promoted Joseph because he possessed a supernatural spirit of discernment to
interpret
the times and prepare practically.
The Sons
of Issachar Anointing:
In end-times teaching, Genesis 41 is used as a
mandate
for the modern religious community to act like Joseph—discerning the prophetic
seasons
of the world, understanding coming economic instabilities, and establishing
physical
and spiritual storehouses to help others when global systems fail.
The
Black Horse of Famine (Revelation 6)
The
global famine managed by Joseph serves as a prophetic blueprint for the third
seal of
Revelation.
The
Prophecy: Revelation 6:5–6 introduces a rider on a black horse holding a pair
of
scales.
A voice proclaims - “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of
barley
for three quarts of a denarius...
The
Economic Crunch: A denarius was a full day’s wage for an ancient labourer.
This
means an entire day’s work will only buy enough premium wheat to feed one
person,
or cheaper barley to feed a small family, leaving nothing for rent, clothes, or
fuel.
The
Egyptian Connection: Just as in Genesis 41, the two primary survival grains
mentioned
in Revelation are wheat and barley. Both passages show a world where
hyperinflation
and scarcity force central governments to strictly ration food supplies.
While
Genesis 41 shows the prophetic timeline in action, the phrase for the ‘’end
times’’ is
explicitly
defined just a few chapters later. Acharit HaYamim (אַחֲרִית הַיָּמִים): In Genesis 49:1, where Jacob
gathers his sons—including Joseph—and says, ‘’Gather yourselves together, that
I may tell you what shall happen to you in the latter days. (Acharit HaYamim)
The
Meaning: In Hebrew thought, Acharit does not just mean a chronological end
point. It
means
the culmination, final outcome, or ultimate destiny of a matter.
Jacob’s blessings over the twelve tribes
stretch far past their time in Egypt. They lay out the tribal destinies that
carry all the way through the settlement of Canaan, the split kingdoms, and
into the final messianic kingdom.
The
Contrast: Joseph’s Storehouses vs. End-Times Babylon:
Examining
these two eras reveals a critical spiritual warning regarding resource
management.
JOSEPH’s
ECONOMIC SYSTEM END-TIMES BABYLON SYSTEM
Motivated
by divine revelation Motivated by human
arrogance
Designed
to preserve human life Designed to control human life
Led by a
righteous servant Led by a
deceptive dictator
Points
people to YHVHs wisdom Traps
people in a godless web
Based on
the prophetic patterns in Genesis 41 and the Book of Revelation, the end-time
remnant
navigates this global economic and spiritual crisis through a specific
five-part
strategy.
1.
Supernatural Discernment (The Joseph Anointing)
The
remnant operates in divine insight rather than relying on human mainstream
data.
Discerning
Seasons: Like Joseph, the remnant recognizes when a global season is
shifting
from abundance to scarcity. (Miketz)
Spiritual
Revelation: They
rely on the Set Apart Spirit for strategies that defy conventional
economic
logic.
Refusing
Panic: Because they
know the prophetic timeline, they react with strategic
calmness
instead of fear.
2. Dual
Preparation (Spiritual and Physical)
Survival
in this scenario requires a balanced approach to resource management.
Spiritual
Storehouses: The primary preparation is building an unshakeable faith and deep
knowledge
of scripture. This ensures they cannot be psychologically manipulated by fear.
Physical
Stewardship: Where possible, the remnant establishes local, decentralised hubs.
This
includes storing food, securing clean water, and learning sustainable skills to
bypass
the
centralized system.
3.
Covenant Provision (The Goshen Principle)
When
Egypt fell into economic ruin, the covenant people lived securely in the region
of
Goshen
(Genesis 45:10).
Supernatural
Protection: The remnant relies on divine exemption from global plagues and
systemic
collapse.
Multiplication
of Resources: They trust in the biblical pattern of supernatural multiplication
(e.g
Elijah and the widow’s oil in 1 Kings 17).
Independence
from the System: They thrive outside the dominant global economic grid
through
communal sharing and barter.
4.
Covenant Communities
The
remnant does not isolate as individual preppers but forms tight-knit,
interdependent
networks.
(camps of the righteous)
Shared
Resources: They pool assets, skills, and food to care for the vulnerable among
them.
Spiritual
Unity: They maintain underground or localized fellowship to keep faith alive
when
institutional
structures fail or compromise.
5.
Serving as a Beacon of Hope
Joseph
did not store grain to hoard wealth; he stored it to save lives, including the
lives of
those
who rejected him.
The
Mission: The remnant positions their storehouses as mission outposts to feed,
heal,
and
share the good news with a desperate world.
Drawing
the Lost: When the world’s systems collapse, the spiritual and physical
resilience
of the
remnant becomes a powerful witness that points people to YHVH.
Looking
to the early Assembly (Kehelah) (Acts 2 & 4)
The
early Kehelah survived intense social and economic exclusion by implementing a
radical,
voluntary
economic model. This system was designed to ensure that no single believer
could
be
starved out by societal boycotts.
Voluntary
Liquidation of Assets: Wealthy believers sold non-essential lands and
houses.
They brought the proceeds to the Apostles to create a centralized, communal
emergency fund (Acts 4:34–35).
Daily
Distribution Networks: The community established a systematic, daily distribution
of food. This network specifically protected vulnerable members, such as widows,
who were cut off from public temple charity (Acts 6:1–3).
Elimination
of Poverty: The text notes that there was not a needy person among them. This
was not forced state communism, but a love-driven, covenantal ecosystem where
private wealth was willingly repurposed for collective survival.
Life
during the great tribulation – the last 3,5 years of the seven years, will see
massive population reduction and starvation on earth
Jer
3:14 “Return, O backsliding children,” declares יהוה, “for I shall rule over you,
and shall take you, one from a city and two from a clan,a and shall bring you
to Tsiyon. Footnote: aSee Isa_27:12.
This specifically applies to the Great
Tribulation (the final 3.5 years of the end-times timeline), though its full
fulfillment bridges the gap directly into the Millennial Kingdom that follows.
When we
read this verse through an end time lens, the key phrases align precisely
with the
dynamics of the Great Tribulation:
1. One
from a city and two from a clan (The Remnant Dynamic)
The
mathematical ratio in this verse (one from a city, two from a clan) implies
extreme
scarcity.
The
Tribulation Parallel: The Great Tribulation is marked by unprecedented global
casualties,
severe martyrdom, and a targeted hunting of YHVHs people by the Antichrist
system and a never before witnessed release of demons on the earth - Rev
9:1-11 Rev 12:17
The Gleaning
Effect: The cross-reference to Isaiah 27:12 uses the agricultural concept of
threshing and gleaning—picking up the tiny handful of grains left over after a
massive harvest. YHVH is meticulously rescuing a highly scattered, deeply hidden
remnant from across the globe.
2. I
shall rule over you (To bring healing to the Brokenness of Israel)
The
Hebrew word used here for rule is ba al (בָּעַל), which carries a strong connotation
of ownership, authority, or marriage.
The
Great Tribulation Purpose: The ultimate scriptural purpose of the Great
Tribulation
- The Time of Jacob’s Trouble in Jeremiah 30:7 is to break the stubbornness of
backsliding Israel. (both natural born and grafted in)
The
Turning Point: Another
‘’miketz’’ moment.
In the
final 3.5 years, when the Antichrist betrays Israel at the midpoint and
enforces the mark of the Beast, the Jewish people will be entirely stripped of
their natural defenses. This forces the backsliding children to finally repent,
return, and recognize Yahshua as the Messiah and YHVH’s absolute rule and
ownership over them.
3. And
shall bring you to Tsiyon (Zion)
In
the second half of the tribulation, there is an urgent geographical and
spiritual flight toward
Jerusalem/Zion
The
Flight to the Wilderness: Yahshua explicitly warns those in Judea to flee into
the
mountains/wilderness
the moment the midpoint abomination occurs (Matthew 24:15-16).
Revelation
12:14 states that Israel is given wings to fly into the wilderness to be
supernaturally
nourished for exactly a time, and times, and half a time (3.5 years).
The
Final Gathering: This gathering culminates at the end of the 3.5 years when Yahshua
physically
returns to Mount Zion, rescuing the tiny, glean-gathered remnant and
establishing
His
global throne. This some scholars believe is the first resurrection.
(some call the rapture)
Summary
of the Contextual Progression (Jeremiah 3:14-17)
The
immediate verses following Jeremiah 3:14 prove that this is an end-times, post-
tribulation
reality, another ‘’Miketz’’ moment – the beginning of the millennial reign of
Messiah -
Verse
15: Then I will give you shepherds after My own heart... (The righteous leadership
of the Messiah’s Kingdom).
Verse
16: They will no longer say, The ark of the covenant of the YHVH (Because the
Temple will be rebuilt and some scholars believe the original ark of the
covenant will be retrieved and placed in the Most Set Apart place )
2 Maccabees
2:1-8 records how Jeremiah hid the altar of golden incense and the ark of the Covenant
in a cave on mount Nebo. Jeremiah says that this ark and altar of golden
incense will only be discovered when the 12 tribes of Jacob unite again – in the
last days.
The
Sifting Ratio: Zechariah 13:8–9
Zechariah
provides the precise mathematical reality of the one from a city, two from a
clan dynamic during the Great Tribulation.
And it
shall come to pass in all the land,” says YHVH, “That two-thirds in it shall be
cut off
and die,
but one-third shall be left in it: I will bring the one-third through the fire,
will refine
them as
silver is refined and test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name,
and I
will
answer them. I will say, ‘This is My people’; and each one will say, ‘YHVH is
my Elohim.
The
Two-Thirds majority of the population in the land will not survive the intense
warfare and persecution of the Antichrist’s reign.
The
Refined Third: The remaining one-third is the literal remnant. This group is
not
merely
spared physically; they are actively brought through the fire. This
furnace
represents the final 3.5 years of the Great Tribulation, designed to burn away
the backsliding
nature mentioned in Jeremiah 3:14.
The
Covenant Restored: The final outcome matches Jeremiah’s promise (I shall rule
over you). The crucible produces a people who fully submit to YHVH as THE Supreme
Elohim of creation.
The
Wings of the Eagle: Revelation 12:14 explicitly links this back to the Exodus
pattern:
But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into
the
wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a
time
[3.5 years], from the presence of the serpent. Ex 19:4
The
Targeted Backlash: Out of frustration, the dragon goes to make war with the
rest of
her offspring—the scattered remnant outside of the primary wilderness safe
zone who
guards the commandments of YHVH and have the testimony of Yahshua - (Rev
12:17). These are the individual targets scattered one by one or in small
groups across the cities of the earth.
Character
Traits of the End-Time Remnant
The Book
of Revelation does not just describe where the remnant goes; it explicitly
defines
who they
are. Their internal spiritual character is what allows them to withstand the
economic
boycott and physical terror of the Great Tribulation.
Description
of end time remnant:
Absolute Commandment Keeping Revelation 12:17 ;
14:12
Flawless Verbal Integrity Revelation 14:5
Unto-Death Martyrdom Mindset Revelation 12:11
Radical Patient Endurance Revelation 13:10
& 14:12
1. They
Possess Uncompromising Verbal Integrity
Revelation
14:5 states: And in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault
before
the throne of YHVH.
The
Application: In a world dominated by deep deception, propaganda, and
strong
delusions of the Antichrist system, the remnant speaks absolute,
unadulterated
biblical truth. They refuse to compromise or lie to save their own lives.
2. They
Overcome Revelation 12:11 outlines their warfare strategy: And they overcame
him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did
not love their lives to the death.
The
Application: The remnant completely conquers the fear of death. Because they
view
themselves as already dead to the world, they cannot be manipulated by threats
of
starvation, financial de-banking, or physical execution.
3. They
Maintain their faith of Messiah.
Revelation
14:12 summarizes their daily reality: Here is the patience of the saints; here
are
those
who keep the commandments of YHVH – Torah - and the faith of Yahshua
The
Application: Their faith is not a fragile, fair-weather theology. It is the rugged,
resilient faith of Messiah Yahshua, the exact same type of enduring trust that Yahshua
exercised when He faced His own execution.
One of
the most dramatic, yet often overlooked, Second Coming passages depicts Yahshua
physically
arriving not first at the Mount of Olives, but marching out from the wilderness
refuge
of the remnant.
“Who is
this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah,(sheepfold fortress)
this One who is glorious in His apparel, marching in the greatness of His
strength? He who speaks in
righteousness,
mighty to save.’ Why is Your apparel red, and Your garments like one who
treads
in the winepress? Isaiah 63:1–2
The
Rescue Mission: Yahshua returns to the earth to break open the siege against
the
trapped
remnant (the sheep of Bozrah).
The
