Tsiyon Answer:  There is no question that the Lisbon Treaty helps to pave the way for the rise of the European Union as a unified European empire, which in turn will lead to the one-world "beast" government foretold in Revelation, and that this must be preceded by economic crisis, war, famine, pestilence and radical social and political change. As my book Announcing Judgment Day and my Revelation Series of Tsiyon radio programs explains in depth, the forces that will lead to all of this have been released (i.e. The Four Horsemen) in 2008 and are now at work in the world. From now until the Tribulation we will continue to see a series of progressively worsening "labor pains" in which all of the above systemic maladies are manifested to the point of intolerable crisis, meant to eventually give birth to world government. The big question is: how long will all of this take before the Tribulation period begins?

The severity of the "labor pains" are taken by many to indicate an early date for the Tribulation. 2010, 2012, 2014, and other early dates are put forth by various advocates. This sense of alarm is understandable, as we watch the world system crumble around us. However, my information based on prophetic Scripture, as explained in the sources above, is that the Tribulation will not happen until the Remnant of Israel is regathered out of all nations and returned as a united people to the Land, to their place of safety through the Tribulation events to follow. This regathering and unified return to the land will take more time to complete than the collapse of the present world order would otherwise take, so YHWH will lengthen the period of systemic collapse of the world to allow for the regathering work of the Remnant to be completed. My best spiritual advice is: totally give yourself to the service of YHWH and put your whole trust in Him and His Word. My best practical advice is to get out of debt, convert paper "wealth" into real wealth before the collapse of fiat currencies, become as self-sufficient from the system as possible, network and seek community with other like-minded and trustworthy believers, and generally prepare to weather a longer period from now to the Tribulation than any of the early dates now offered. All such predicted dates WILL FAIL. We are looking at an endurance race - not a sprint - to the finish. The watchword for this period is "endurance."

He who endures to the end, the same will be saved. Matt 24:13

When the dragon finds that he is unable to gobble up the Manchild (144,000) or the Woman (Covenant Israel) he will focus his wrath on the "rest of her seed, who keep God’s commandments and hold Yeshua’s testimony."

The "rest of her seed" are the believers around the world who will see Yah's miracles in the return of His remnant to the Land and will respond to their message from wherever they may live, thus becoming "the rest of her seed" that will be "grafted-in" to renewed Israel during the Great Tribulation. These will be physically vulnerable to the attack of the dragon through the world system, since they will still be living in the lands of the gentile nations in which they live, outside of the "safety-zone" YHWH will have prepared for the safety of Remnant Israel then in the Land.

That is not to say YHWH cannot physically save whomever He will, wherever they may be. However, the choices believers make will influence their outcome (See Dan. 3, Rev 13:10).

Clearly, there is an advantage to responding early to the message, since those who do will have opportunity to return to the Land with the remnant of Israel, to flee to the prepared place of safety. Better late than never, however, since the "Great Multitude out of all nations" who will "come out of the Great Tribulation" will also be eternally blessed in the favor of YHWH. (Revelation 7:9-17)

These are both critical and confusing times. By now most people sense the world is in some sort of huge transition, but opinions vary about what we can expect. Here at Tsiyon we offer you a consistent vision of the future based on Scripture prophecy and prophetic landmarks that fulfill Scripture. Our picture is clear, concise and takes into consideration ALL of the Bible prophecy that has been waiting for fulfillment in our day. Already we have passed many dates when others said the end would come and we said it must take longer. Simply put, we were right and they were wrong. Why? Because time is needed for the remnant nation of Israel to be raised up! While others keep overlooking that prophetic landmark event, we do not. This IS the final generation, yet the Tribulation will not fall until the believing Remnant of Israel have been raised up as a nation and have returned to the Land. This work is in process, but still has a long way to go. Until then, the world situation is like the labor of a pregnant woman, and the ever-worsening labor pains must drag on longer than we would wish. Do not let that discourage you. Endure in the power of His strength. Keep busy walking in His will, and we shall all be there soon enough!

Blessings and shalom in the name of Y'shua Messiah,

Eliyahu ben David
