Recently, a friend of the Eth CEPHER wrote and asked as follows:
I am trying to keep up with your "On the Mark" presentations, but am a little behind. Did I hear you mention the year 2008 as the end of Ephraim's curse...or was it the end of the ''Age of the Gentiles?'' What happened prophetically in 2008? Highly interested! Thanks for your time!
This question should be answered!
Yechezq’el (Ezekiel) 4:5-6
For I have laid upon you את eth-the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shall you bear the iniquity of the house of Yashar’el. 6 And when you have את eth-accomplished them, lie again on your right side, and you shall bear את eth-the iniquity of the house of Yahudah forty days: I have appointed you each day for a year.
Yechezq’el then began to bear the iniquity of the house of Yashar’el – in this case, the Northern Kingdom – which was representative of the time of desolation for this kingdom following its precipitous drop into paganism and idolatry.
Judgment was brought in finality on the Northern Kingdom with the later invasion by the Assyrians in 722 B.C., which ended the kingdom, replaced the leadership with Assyrian leadership and resulted in the deportation of its citizens to various places to the east, causing the dispersion of the tribes into what we now call the diaspora.
This judgment should have ended in 332 B.C. given the plain language, but it did not. Why not?
Vayiqra (Leviticus) 26:27-28
And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; 28 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
Math is scripture? Yes, we are called to multiply seven times: 390 x 7 = 2,730.
We can then conclude that the iniquity of the house of Yashar’el would finally come to an end two thousand seven hundred and thirty years later. 2,730 – 722 = 2008.
Of course, all of these are Gregorian year calculations, but the same message exists no matter what calendar is employed.
Thereafter, those of the house of Yashar’el are called to be:
