Top 10 Signs of Redemption This Year
September 24, 2019
On Sunday evening, the Hebrew calendar moves forward to 5780. According to Jewish tradition, the final redemption must arrive before the beginning of the 6,000th year so signs should be appearing. A quick roundup of the past year shows that this is indeed the case as Breaking Israel News gives a recap of the top ten Geula (redemption) articles of the year https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/137723/top-10-signs-of-redemption-this-year/
Now, BIN is correct that we are getting closer to the year 6,000 and various signs should be appearing. The biblical ones are (cf. Matthew 24:4-8). But it should be pointed out the the claimed Jewish year, currently claimed to be 5779, is in error as the Jews INTENTIONALLY dropped off 200 or so years to discourage people from believing that Jesus was the Messiah.
Related to this, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
Jewish Year 5779 or 5990?
According to the Jewish ‘Seder Olam Rabbah’ the period from sunset 9 September 2018 to 29 September 2019 is the year 5779 Anno Mundi (age of the world). However, the Jewish Encyclopedia, secular scholars, and modern Jewish experts have all claimed that the count is off between 164 to 200 plus years. Are we closer to the year 5990 than 5779 since Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden? Why would the Seder Olam be off by so much? Does any of this have anything to do with deceit and pointing to the false ‘messiah’ Simon Bar Kochba? Was the Messiah supposed to come after 4000 or 6000 years? Does Daniel 9:26 clearly point to Jesus? Dr. Thiel refers to Jewish accepted and other sources to answer these questions? An article of related interest is available titled Does God Have a 6,000 Year Plan? What Year Does the 6,000 Years End?
Here is a link to the sermonette video: Jewish Year 5779 or 5990?
Now, let’s briefly look at BIN’s ten claimed redemption signs:
1.Multiple Jewish Sources Point to Israel’s Election Impasse as the Gateway to Messiah
As I have written for years, political gridlock in Israel may well be a factor in getting daily sacrifices implemented. Since the sacrifices will stop (Daniel 9:27, 11:31, 12:11), we know that they must first start. Politics has been, and will be, a factor.
Here’s the next item from BIN:
2.Yemen’s Involvement in Attack on Saudi Arabia Fulfills Isaiah’s Gog and Magog Prophecy
No, absolutely not. The Gog and Magog prophecy is in Ezekiel 38 and is NOT for our day. For details, see Ezekiel 38: For Russia & Iran in Our Day? Related to the Yemen claim, check out:Trump: US ‘locked and loaded;’ BIN: Yekutiel Fish: ‘Yemen…first stage in the multi-national War of Gog and Magog’.
Here’s the next item from BIN:
3.Universal Prayer, Non-Jewish Sacrifice on Mount of Olives to Cancel Out War of Gog and Magog
The Conference of the Organization of the 70 Nations will begin with universal prayer and culminate a ceremony in which an animal sacrifice will be offered on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem to renew the covenant made between God and all of mankind.
No, since Ezekiel 38 is not for this age, the planned prayer (which is for September 25, 2019) will not cancel out the Gog and Magog war.

4.Exclusive: Burning of Heifer Takes Place in Preparation for Third Temple
A major step was made towards reinstating the Temple service: after an intensive study into the practical details, an actual heifer, albeit not a red one, was burned in precisely the manner that will enable the Jewish people to be purified.
Since the reddish heifer used did not qualify from a Jewish perspective, its burning is mainly irrelevant, except in the light of something I posted here over five years ago:
It is my belief is that once there is permission to start regular sacrifices, that whichever red heifer may be available then will be considered to be the right and acceptable one (if it was not so before hand). (Thiel B. Red heifer discovered in USA and the Temple Institute is interested in it. COGwriter, June 27, 2014)
The fact that the Jews were willing to burn an unqualified red heifer proves that my statement above was accurate. The Jews will sacrifice when they can, and may simply accept whatever reddish heifer they have at the time.
Here’s the next item from BIN:
5.Foxes Appear on Temple Mount in Time to Fulfill Verse in Lamentations Read on Ninth of Av
The above is claimed to be based on the following:
18 Because of Mount Zion which is desolate, With foxes walking about on it. (Lamentations 5:18)
However, the above is a prophecy that is to be fulfilled AFTER the start of the Great Tribulation. The fact that some foxes have been seen mainly proves that there are foxes in the area that can later fulfill that prophecy.

6.Are the Ten Plagues Reappearing Today?
Various signs that Jesus pointed to in Matthew 24:4-8 are appearing today. Here is something related to a BIN article on that: BIN: “Is Outbreak of ‘Zombie Deer Disease’ a Pre-Messiah Replay of Fifth Plague?” COGwriter: Will Any of the Ten Plagues of Exodus be Repeated?
Additionally, here is a link to a short video on that: Zombie Deer Disease is Here! Are the 10 Plagues on Egypt Coming?
Here’s the next item from BIN:
7.Ezekiel’s End-of-Days Vision Revealed: Dead Sea Coming to Life
This is supposed to be based on Ezekiel 47:10. Let’s look it in context:
7 When I returned, there, along the bank of the river, were very many trees on one side and the other. 8 Then he said to me: “This water flows toward the eastern region, goes down into the valley, and enters the sea. When it reaches the sea, its waters are healed. 9 And it shall be that every living thing that moves, wherever the rivers go, will live. There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters go there; for they will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river goes. 10 It shall be that fishermen will stand by it from En Gedi to En Eglaim; they will be places for spreading their nets. Their fish will be of the same kinds as the fish of the Great Sea, exceedingly many. (Ezekiel 47:7-11)
Ezekiel 47:10 is a prophecy that will not be fulfilled until after the start of the millennium. We have not seen anything resembling “exceedingly many” fish yet. But the fact is that the Dead Sea can be healed.
Here’s the next item from BIN:
8.Watch! Snake in the Temple
I denounced this as a sign last November, as well as the Dead Sea fish sign then:
Anyway, no, I do not believe that a snake found on the Western Wall is a prophetic sign nor do I believe it was related to the US midterm elections. Nor do I believe that a falling rock, fish in the Dead Sea, or some mist by the Dome of the Rock are prophetic signs.
The Jewish mystics are wrong about this. (Thiel B. Snakes, Elections, and the Messiah. COGwriter, November 7, 2018)

9.Plague of Locusts Attacks Islam’s Holiest Mosque in Mecca
Here is some of what I wrote about that last January:
Locusts hit various areas from time to time. So no, I do not believe it was related to the Torah reading of the final five plagues.
That being said, Jesus Himself warned that the “signs” of the end of the age would include pestilences:
7…And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:6-8)
11 And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. (Luke 21:11)
What happened in Saudi Arabia pales in comparison with what will happen. (Thiel B. ‘Plague of Locusts Attacks Islam’s Holiest Mosque in Mecca,’ but was WCG right about man-made pestilences? COGwriter, January 11, 2019)
Here’s the next item from BIN:
10.Sanhedrin Invites 70 Nations to Hanukkah Dedication of Altar for the Third Temple
The nascent Sanhedrin released a declaration to the 70 nations for Hanukkah to be read at a ceremony in Jerusalem on the last day of the holiday. The ceremony included the consecration of a stone altar prepared for use in the Third Temple.
Now, that was interesting for several reasons.
One of which is that they ‘reasoned around’ the biblical statements about unhewned stones and the animal was not actually killed on the Temple Mount, but was burned there.
The Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put out following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
Sanhedrin makes burnt offering to dedicate altar!
The Reconstituted Sanhedrin performed a ceremony on December 10, 2018 to dedicate a new altar for the use of daily sacrifices. High Priest Rabbi Baruch Kahane officiated. How does this align with Bible prophecy? Daniel wrote three times that the daily sacrifices must stop, hence they first must resume. The Great Tribulation will begin shortly after these sacrifices stop. In this video Dr. Thiel, who has also been to Israel and spoken with The Temple Institute quotes several scriptures and explains why the actions by the Sanhedrin align with prophecy and the end times.
Here is a link to our video: Sanhedrin makes burnt offering to dedicate altar!
Another sacrifice was made for Passover (see Sanhedrin has ‘Passover’ sacrifice in Jerusalem).
So, we keep seeing a willingness of the Jews to institute regular animal sacrifices–and biblically we know this will happen.
That being said, while Jewish mystical interpretation of Messianic prophecies cannot be relied on, biblical prophecies can.
Many events are aligning with properly understood biblical prophecies.
