2/19/2008 "...UNDER THE IRON YOKE AGAIN..." These are the "evil figs" re-imposed upon themselves by their own rebellion ag ainst ROME. Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 A.D. and the land was completly devastated in the capture of MASADA in 73 A.D. The "Laws of Tribulation" were now in greta affect as fortld in Deuteronomy the 28th chapter. Moses spoke about this to you but you would not believe...Jesus said here in John 5:45-47:"...Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; the one that accuses you is MOSES, in whom you have set your hope. For if you had believed Moses, you would have believed me; fo Moses WROTE OF ME. But if you do not believe HIS WRITINGS...how will you believe my WORDS...?" MOSES SAID THESE WORDS...."...Then shall be left few in number, whereas you were as the stars in heaven for multitude. Because you did not obey the Lord your God...And it shall come about that as the Lord delighted over you to prosper you, and to multipl you... So the Lord will delght over you to make you perish and to destroy you; and ye shall be torn from the land where you are entering in to possess it. Moreover, THE LORD WILL SCATTER YOU AMONG ALL PEOPLES OF THE EARTH, FROM ONE END OF THE EARTH TO THE OTHER END OF THE EARTH; And thereye shall serve other gods...wood and stone, which you or your fathers have not known. And among those nations YOU WILL FIND NO REST, AND THERE SHALL BE NO RESTING PLACE FOR THE SOLES OF YOUR FOOT; But there the Lord will give you a TREMBLING HEART..., FAILING OF EYES..., AND DESPAIR OF SOUL..." Moses said that this would happen to them for "one reason" BECAUSE OF THEIR DISOBEDIENCE...Moses said that this "iron yoke" that would come upon them, that they would be DISPOSSESSED FROM THEIR LAND...Over ONE MILLION JUDEANS were killed in this "war". More were sold into SLAVERY INTO OTHER LANDS...They were not yet "fully dispossessed" yet...This order would be given later on after another revolt known as the BAR KOCHBA REVOLT which was from 132-135 A.D. The JEWISH TEMPLE was burned during the "seige" of the Roman armies in 70 A.D....This was just 40 years after the "execution of John the Baptist.." WHO WERE THE "ZEALOTS" OF THOSE DAYS ? There were people then as there are now that were "extremists"...We have what they call "Black extremesists", we also have those of the "white extremsist". The BAD FIG ZEALOTS who were "professional assassins" were called SICARII that being interpreted means...PEOPLE OF THE DAGGER. Anyone who did not "joine them" of their own countrymen were killed in jerusalem that day... Three years after this destruction of Jerusalem, the Romans finallt captured MASADA..Masada was built high up and was very hard to get to, and the Romans had to build a "ramp" just to get up where they could climb over. They finished this ramp on the fourteenth day of the FIRST MONTH in 73 A.D. This was the day that they would normally have killed the PASSOVER LAMB to be eaten in the evening time. But these "killers" killed and had theirselves killed in assisted "suicide" instead of keeping this "Passover". This event IDENTIFIES the religious fanatics...THE SICCARII...not the TRUE ISRAELITIES...They identified themselves with the EGYPTIANS that died on that FIRST PASSOVER IN EGYPT...
