prior to the restoration of the Temple significant? What instructions did He give to the twelve Disciples when
Christ was here on this earth about preaching the truth?

Matthew 10:5-7 “These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them: “Do not go in the way of the
Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans; but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of
Israel. “And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Matthew 4:17 “From that time Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at
53
hand.”
Does Israel finally recognize Jesus Christ as the Messiah and redeemer of men? Was this a sign in the heavens
given to Israel for indicating in Christ dwells the fullness of the Deity? Christ is the ultimate atonement for sin.

Colossians 2:9-10 “For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been
made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority;”
54
It can now be seen the Pleiades, crown of stars represents the rule of Christ over the earth for judgment day is
approaching quickly and He is given authority prior to the opening of the seven seals by the Lamb. This can be
seen as a symbolic sign in the heavens to the approaching “beginning of birth pangs” mentioned in Matthew 24:8.
The Deity of Christ is again taught in the Gospel of John in the opening chapter.

The Deity of Jesus Christ

John 1:1-5, 14 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has
come into being.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.
5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”
55
14 “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only
56
begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

Has Israel finally realized that Jesus Christ was the Messiah and also the redeemer of men? This heavenly sign of
Jupiter is followed by the sign of Israel, which is seen twice in the heavens over a period of five years.
Zechariah’s prophetic scripture states an important event will occur. This will happen prior to when God
destroys all the nations that come against Jerusalem in the Battle of Megiddo.

Zechariah 12:9-14 “And in that day I will set about to destroy all the nations that come against
Jerusalem.” “I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit
of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will
mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter
weeping over a firstborn.”
11 “In that day there will be great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the
plain of Megiddo.”
