JEREMIAH’S GROTTO AND THE FALSE PROPHET CONNECTION:
IS THE STATE OF ISRAEL A PART OF THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST?

The time of Jeremiah and Jerusalem’s curse

From the moment Ron Wyatt raised his hand and declared, “There is Jeremiah’s grotto, and the Ark of the Covenant is in there,” God had given him both a direction and a task. When Ron Wyatt recognized that these words were not his own but given by God, it should inspire us to consider that every word holds meaning. Could these words also contain a deeper message?

So why did God have him point out the Ark was in Jeremiah’s grotto? Why not just say the Ark was hidden in a cave there?

Who was Jeremiah, and why did God point to him in the call to unveil the blood on the Mercy Seat? How is the blood of Christ and Jeremiah connected?

The Ark of the Covenant was hidden in the days of Jeremiah. According to the book of Jeremiah, he was a prophet even in the days when the Ark was, for a short time, taken out of its hiding place and returned to the temple in King Josiah’s days. Having the Ark of the Covenant back in the temple later led the people to feel a false sense of security that God, through Jeremiah, had to confront.

Jeremiah 8:8:
“How can you say, “We are wise,
   for we have the law of the Lord,”
when actually the lying pen of the scribes
   has handled it falsely?”

The message did not sit well with the people of Jerusalem, and they went to attack Jeremiah for it:

Jeremiah 18:18:
“They said, “Come, let’s make plans against Jeremiah;
for the teaching of the law by the priest will not cease,
nor will counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophets.
So come, let’s attack him with our tongues and pay no attention to anything he says.”

So how did it come to be that the return of the Ark gave them false hope, even leading to their perdition?

We have to go back to the days of King Josiah. He began a reformation among the people, cleansing the temple of idols. In the midst of this, the book of the covenant—the Torah, or as Christians know it, the books of Moses—was discovered. Through these writings, King Josiah learned of the fate awaiting Jerusalem and its people: they had committed all the sins that brought curses upon them, and eventually these sins would cost them the land. Josiah prayed and humbled himself before God. God heard him, but declared that the consequences coming upon the land could not be removed:

2 Chronicles 34:24-25:
“This is what the Lord says: I am going to bring disaster on this place and its people – all the curses written in the book that has been read in the presence of the king of Judah. 25 Because they have forsaken me and burned incense to other gods and aroused my anger by all that their hands have made,[e] my anger will be poured out on this place and will not be quenched.” 

But God decided to delay the judgment because of King Josiah, though He would not take it away:

2 Chronicles 34:26-28:
Tell the king of Judah, who sent you to enquire of the Lord, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says concerning the words you heard: because your heart was responsive and you humbled yourself before God when you heard what he spoke against this place and its people, and because you humbled yourself before me and tore your robes and wept in my presence, I have heard you, declares the Lord. 28 Now I will gather you to your ancestors, and you will be buried in peace. Your eyes will not see all the disaster I am going to bring on this place and on those who live here.”

King Josiah acted as anyone would—he saw hope and grasped it, recalling how God had spared even their enemies in Nineveh when they repented. He immediately gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem (2 Chronicles 34:29).
He then went to the temple, read God’s law to the people, and made a new covenant with God to keep His law:

2 Chronicles 34:31:
“The king stood by his pillar and renewed the covenant in the presence of the Lord – to follow the Lord and keep his commands, statutes and decrees with all his heart and all his soul, and to obey the words of the covenant written in this book.”

He then reinstated the Lord’s Passover feast and, in faith and hope, instructed the priests to return the Ark of the Covenant to the temple:

2 Chronicles 35:3
“And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and his people Israel”.

God had told him the city would be destroyed, yet not during the king’s lifetime. So, in faith, Josiah placed the Ark back in the temple. This allowed for the observance of Yom Kippur, the yearly event when the sins of God’s people as a group were blotted out. The Ark offered hope that the sins that brought their doom could be forgiven and that the coming judgment could be averted.

However, God had told Josiah that, as a people, there was no way to prevent the coming doom.

Even worse, although King Josiah’s conversion and intentions were genuine, God said the people themselves were not truly converted. God boldly told Jeremiah, who was a young prophet during these events:

Jeremiah 3:10-11
“In spite of all this, her unfaithful sister Judah did not return to me with all her heart, but only in pretence,’ declares the Lord. The Lord said to me, ‘Faithless Israel is more righteous than unfaithful Judah.”

The hope Josiah brought in, Jeremiah corrected with the reality of their situation. Their coming before the temple to keep the Lord’s feast did not change their current situation:

Jeremiah 3:23:
Surely the idolatrous commotion on the hills and mountains is a deception; surely in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel. 

Jeremiah 7:4; 8-10
“Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these. ….
Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. 
Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; 
And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?” 

God also corrected them in the view that if only the Ark were back in the temple, they would be saved:

Jeremiah 3:16:
“In those days, when your numbers have increased greatly in the land,’ declares the Lord, ‘people will no longer say, “The ark of the covenant of the Lord, ‘ neither shall it come to mind; neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more”. 

God’s mercy had been extended, but the people’s hearts were divided. Unlike Israel, which had merely gone astray, Judah’s sin was worse because they only pretended to turn to God—displaying outward appearances of repentance while inwardly rejecting God and His ways. Serving two religions as one.

They gave a false appearance of something they were not. The Ark would not save them, nor should they consider its return to the temple as a change in their situation. God would save them individually, but not atone for their sin as a nation at that time. After King Josiah died, the people still clung to the false prophecy that God’s judgment had been turned away because of the Ark’s presence and their partial conversion.

Jeremiah’s message, given while the people continued their temple service and observed some of God’s traditions, filled them with anger. They accused Jeremiah of taking away the people’s hope:

Jeremiah 38:4.
Then the officials said to the king, ‘This man should be put to death. He is discouraging the soldiers who are left in this city, as well as all the people, by the things he is saying to them. This man is not seeking the good of these people but their ruin.’

When Jeremiah told them there was a time they would forget the Ark, he also told them: “neither shall they visit it, neither shall that be done any more”.

And so it happened as prophesied: a remnant of Israel returned after the captivity and rebuilt the city and the temple, but they were not given back the Ark of the Covenant, nor were they given the service of ministering before it. No high priest visited it, because it was not there. The Ark had been gone since Jeremiah’s time, and it was not returned to them. And they did not ask for it or think of it, but were content with their new temple and its service without it.

Although Yom Kippur continued to be observed for several centuries without the Ark, the missing Ark’s significance endured. God’s throne had not been restored to them. The absence of God’s throne in the second temple, the lack of His Shekinah, and the inability to present the blood before the Lord and upon the Ark all signified that complete atonement for the nation had not been fulfilled.

In Daniel 9, we learn that the time period after their return to Jerusalem following the captivity was a probationary period. Their sin as a nation, committed before the captivity, was still considered, and they were given a trial time. At the end of this time, given as 70 prophetic weeks (also 490 years) or 10 Jubilee cycles, they had to end their continuous transgression and anoint the most holy place for their nation’s sins, to be cleansed.

The angel Gabriel told Daniel as he was praying about their return to Jerusalem:

Daniel 9:24:
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy. 

A great day of Yom Kippur for the nation of Israel. A new beginning. A new covenant. Or it would be the end of them as a nation under God.

And in that prophecy, they were told their salvation would come through the Messiah. He would bring about their Atonement. Yet he was rejected as their High Priest and bondsman; they refused to end their sins, and, their sin remained when the preptorial time ended. They were rejected as a nation, but could still be saved individually or as a movement. However with the curse that followed, God would take from them the land as well (Deut.28:64; 2.Chr.7:19-20; Deut 4:25-27).

2 Chronicles 7:19-20
“Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them.”

After His rejection, Christ left with the words:

Matthew 23:37-38:
‘Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.  Look, your house is left to you desolate.

While the veil in the temple tore and the most holy was unveiled, the Ark was not there. At the same time, the rocks rent underneath the cross, and the blood went upon the Ark in Jeremiah’s grotto.
Christ sprinkled the Ark of the Covenant. He performed the act that the priests of Judah and Levi could not. He was the only one brought before the Ark and could atone for their sins as a nation. But because He was rejected, that salvation did not take place inside their temple, but in a cave prepared by God.

In Jeremiah’s time, as he wrote Lamentations, likely in that dark cave where the Ark and temple furniture had been hidden, he said:

Lamentations 3:2 & 6
He has driven me away and made me walk in darkness rather than light …He has made me dwell in darkness like those long dead.

He wrote:
Lamentations 2:6
And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest. 

After the Ark was hidden, the priesthood was temporarily instituted after the captivity, but God kept His throne and seat of atonement outside the city gates throughout the propetory days. And at the end of it, Christ sprinkled the Ark of the Covenant with his own blood – providing the promised redemption.

Outside the city gates.

But when he did it – he did it outside the gates of Jerusalem. Because Christ was rejected, His salvation was rejected by both priests and leaders of the time; Christ’s atonement was brought under His priesthood and kingship. That meant that for Israel to be saved, they had to figuratively go outside their gates; they had to seek atonement through the covenant and temple of Christ, not in their empty house, which they had driven Him from.

The Ark of the Covenant would never be returned behind the city gates, to their earthly temples, or to their high priestly service.

National atonement could now only come through the place where the Ark of the Covenant was. A true Yom Kippur can only come through the temple that is Christ.

Jeremiah and the Ark are connected in several ways. Firstly, it was hidden in his day, and he bore the message that it would not be returned to the Jewish nation. They would have to seek atonement through their Messiah outside their earthly temple and sanctuary. The Ark was removed to Jeremiah’s grotto for good. When God connected the two to Ron Wyatt before he could even unveil the Ark, God made it known that the Ark was not found to be placed back into the hands of the Jewish nation or to be restored in a Jewish temple. Nor for the reinstitution of the temple service on earth. They were not “to do that anymore”.

Secondly, it reveals the false message of the false prophets in Jeremiah’s time and in our own day. Both carry the same message, giving false hope of something that will never be. Something that will trick people into thinking they are saved when they are not. To trick them into the idea of earthly greatness, when God has determined destruction.

Although water was poured down a crack near the Ark of the Covenant during an excavation after Ron Wyatt’s death- symbolically, either Christ’s blood can not be washed away from the mercy seat or an earthly system cannot be reinstated. Such an act would be a declaration of defiance which in the Bible is categorized as idol worship and spiritualism: “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry” (1.Sam15:23). The act of trying to create a new temple in Jerusalem would not bring modern Israel to God – rather it would bring them into an open war with God.

In the time of Jeremiah, Israel seemed unable to stop talking about the Ark of the Covenant as a symbol of their restoration. They kept God’s feast, reinstated their priests, restored the broken temple and claimed even to be keepers of God’s law – yet the true prophet told them none of this was going to change their situation – or atone for their sins – Jerusalem was coming down and the Ark taken from them for good.

When the first temple was constructed, the Shakinah glory, Christ Himself, filled the house with smoke and throned over the Ark. Then, because of their sins, the Shakniah left the temple, moved to the Mount of Olives, and left them, but promised to return to write His law in their hearts. When the second temple was constructed without the Ark, no Shekinah came to fill it with His presence. Rather much later, Christ came in person to the very temple, visiting it with His presence. They judged him right there, took him out of the temple grounds, and out of the city gates, and rejected Him there.

And outside those gates Christ poured his blood upon the Ark that had been taken from them – revealing that salvation now came through His new covenant system. The Ark, the key to Yom Kippur, followed Christ, not their temple.

As he had told them, he was now their temple. And the Ark of Atonement was His, the power of atonement His. He was the only way for them to be saved:

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6) . 

The false prophet of our day and his false prophecy.

The discovery of the Ark is not a witness or a signal to the rebuilding of a new temple or a new Jerusalem.
Therefore, giving Ron Wyatt the name of Jeremiah’s grotto with the Ark discovery sets the tone from the beginning of what the discovery means and what it does not mean.  By having Ron refer to the prophet’s name and his enclosure, God ensures that the Ark discovery is not given the wrong meaning. Its appearance is not the confirmation of the false prophets, but of the true.

The 30- to 40-something years during which the Ark was taken from hiding and back to the temple were the same days that determined the life and death of the people of Jerusalem. We are living in a similar time period now. The Ark has been discovered, yet many false preachers of this discovery are giving many people false hope of an earthly restoration of a Judean kingdom.

Jeremiah was then a true prophet sent by God to help them navigate through those confusing times. But at that time, the majority of teachers were false prophets. So it was Jeremiah against the false prophets.

This is a crucial part of history, especially because in the book of Revelation, we see someone called “the false prophet” deceiving the whole world in the end times.

The time leading up to the hiding of the Ark and the time leading to its revealing were both burdened by false prophets. A time of false hope of Jerusalem’s reinstitution of glory, of God’s protection and their own superiority, Jeremiah crushes their dreams with the truth.

Jeremiah 23:21:
About the false Jewish prophets, God exclaimed: “I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. ”.

Jeremiah 27:15:
“For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.

Not only were the people listening to the false prophets, but they also refused to listen to the ones God had sent. God said:

Jeremiah 25:4:
“And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear”.

They listen to one and reject hearing the other – because their messages contradict each other. They are competing messages.

And in fact, the true prophets were often executed. Those who went against the false prophets were targeted as troublemakers and even God’s enemies.

And we need to understand what is going on, because we are dealing with a dangerous false prophet in the time leading up to Christ’s second coming. It says an unclean demon spirit comes out of his mouth. He deceives rulers, and he gathers a large group to perdition (Rev.16:13).

In the bible, the destruction of Jerusalem was a type of the destruction of the world at the end times.
Now, many have suggested the end-time false prophet mentioned in Revelation is Islam or Muhammad. It is not. It was not the prophets in Edom, in Assyria, in Midian, or even in Babylon – God warned the people against in the time of Jerusalem’s last days before their destruction. It was the false prophets among themselves. And at the very end of the book of Revelation, Jesus says about all of His revelation regarding the end times: “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches” (Rev 22:16).

This is important to understand because if we are looking at the threat outside our walls, we do the same as the part of Israel that perished when Babylon conquered the city. What cost them their lives was the false prophets inside the city gates, who were supposed to be their own brothers and sisters.

And the reason Jeremiah was so hated was that he pointed that out at a time when the inhabitants of Jerusalem thought they needed to stand together against a common enemy on the outside. They saw Jeremiah as someone causing dissension and division at a time when the people felt they needed hope and unity.  But the call for unity and standing together only placed them deeper in the grip of the false prophets among them, eventually causing their death. The unity they had created only caused them to perish together, not to defeat their enemies. And most certainly did not their assembly cause God to change His character, law, or means of atonement.

The false prophets inside the city gates are the ones God warned them against. And when we look at the book of Ezekiel and Revelation, we can see an almost identical parallel between the events leading up to the destruction of Jerusalem and those leading up to Christ’s second coming.

In both places, God warns against false prophets; in Revelation, it is used in the singular: The false prophet. This is because, just as a beast represents a governmental system, a woman represents a church or a congregation; the false prophet represents a body of false prophecy incorporated into a system, giving it civil power alongside the beast.

Having the false prophet described as singular also shows a united voice of prophecy. The same prophecy is causing the downfall of so many. Causing the end-time wars and conflicts that have everyone on edge. The same goal is unified by the false prophets. And as we see, the false prophet in Revelation wields governmental influence.

This was the case in the time leading up to Jerusalem’s destruction. The false prophets weren’t street preachers speaking nonsense; they were controlling the civil power and influencing the king’s decision-making. They were controlling the king.

So much so that, rather than just blaming Jerusalem’s leadership for Jerusalem’s calamity, God also blamed the false prophets. Because they were the ones pulling the strings.
In the same way, we see the false prophet of Revelation engaging in control over governmental institutions.
And set him acting and doing the same as the second beast of Revelation 13, he is no doubt its creation or influence.

The problem with the false prophet:

The main reason God warns against the false prophet is its message. The danger with having a false prophet, and what even makes a false prophet a false prophet, is his message. The message gives false hope, deceives, and destroys. In addition to claiming to be God’s voice, he silences God’s voice through his real prophets.
The false prophets and priests had the king punish Jeremiah, put him in stocks, preventing him from speaking, and placed him in a well to die. They wanted to kill him, silence him. And they used the government to do so.

They made Jeremiah seem like the false prophet, causing division among the people.

The standoff between Jeremiah and the false prophets in their day was intense. And God warned against these powerful prophets because their message gave the people in Jerusalem a false sense of security.

An idea that they were under God’s protection, even right with God – when they were not. That God would protect Jerusalem and their walls, when He had said He would not.

The false prophets made the people think their relationship with God was secure; they prevented them from preparing for the tribulation ahead and from being saved. God was still willing to save them individually, although he would not save the city and the government of Jerusalem. But if the prophets convinced the people to stay in rebellion, they would perish along with the city. If they sought God outside the established religious leadership, however, God would save them from death.
We learn of three main men who were saved at Babylon’s invation of Jerusalem. Jeremiah, Baruch, and Ebed-melech. Jeremiah was the true prophet. Baruch, someone who received his message and helped spread it to others. And Ebed-melech was a brave foreigner who used his position to save Jeremiah’s life. Ebed-Melech’s name means “servant of the king”.

The message of the false prophets was this: They were God’s people. And God would save them. They had God’s law with them; they had the Ark, the temple, the priestly service. And they were said to be God’s people. So God would have to save them because of their genetics and because they had God’s temple.

The message of the true prophet was this: You are not right with God; you have to turn, and you can be individually saved, but not saved as a nation. He said they did not have God’s law because their teachers had twisted God’s law and misrepresented it. God’s authority and law were not in their hearts. They were only partly converted. They blended their worship of God with pagan practices and sins, and used the temple as an excuse to sin, rather than to repent and give up their sins.

Jerusalem could not be saved at this point. Jerusalem was going down. But God would save those faithful among them. And that is how Daniel, Hananiah, Azarjah, Ezekiel, Baruch, and the like were saved.

After the captivity, they were allowed to return and rebuild the city, but God gave them a parole for 70 prophetic weeks. If they did not change by then, He would reject both Jerusalem and its people. Seventy weeks are determined upon “thy people and thy holy city”.

That means it’s not just about the people, but also the holy city itself being God’s capital. Jerusalem would be rejected as His earthly capital till the earth was restored, and this was confirmed by Jesus.

These 70 weeks ended shortly after Christ was crucified. The same false prophets of our day claim the last week of these 70 weeks has been placed at the end time. Giving Jerusalem another prophetic week (7 years). Making Jerusalem God’s city once again in our time. However, this is one of the main false prophecies of the false prophet. And this one lie has caused the death of millions of people so far. The false prophecy is covered in blood – the blood of deceived Christians, of innocent Jews and of Muslims.
The 70 weeks ended after Christ was killed, and when His followers were, in large part, chased out of Jerusalem and scattered. The motive behind placing the last week of the prophecy – 7 years, to the end times, was to gain support to bring Jews back to Jerusalem and the rebuilding of the city in our day.
Ripping a section of a continuous fulfilled prophecy from its time and putting it in the future has caused Christians to support and help build a Jewish state. And the success of doing it was then claimed to be “a sign and wonder” of the world. The army of Israel defeating its enemies, their fire from heaven, is seen as God’s miracle. Their military successes claimed to be a miracle of God or even the hand of God.

Temporary Independence

The same false hope given by the false prophets in ancient times has been revived: the hope that possessing the temple, the service, and the law will guarantee God’s favor, protection of the city, and the establishment of God’s kingdom. Yet this is a false assurance that leads people into perdition—a fleeting period of deceptive hope destined to be shattered.

Ancient Judah experienced this cycle of false hope twice, holding out against both Babylon and Rome before ultimately being crushed by them.

Babylon first subdued Jerusalem around 605 BCE after defeating Egypt at the Battle of Carchemish, driving them out of the Middle East. King Jehoiakim was forced to pay tribute, and the first group of captives was taken from Jerusalem. In 601 BCE, Nebuchadnezzar marched toward Egypt, but the Battle of Migdol ended in a costly stalemate for Babylon. This temporary setback gave Jerusalem the illusion that God had delivered them, prompting rebellion against Babylon and a declaration of independence.

Jeremiah warned that this was not God’s deliverance or a restoration of independence. Instead, he prophesied that Babylon’s army would recover and return, and continued rebellion would bring death. Nebuchadnezzar soon regained strength, returned to Jerusalem in 597 BCE, and deported around 10,000 elite citizens, craftsmen, and soldiers. Despite God’s warning that their independence was truly lost, the Jews persisted in rebellion, leading to the third siege and the destruction of Jerusalem in 587–586 BCE.

The curse and the time of the heathens had begun long before the temple was destroyed; losing the temple was simply a part of the outcome, not the start of it. While Judah had clung to an illusion of independence and victory, they were actually still under the curse—a truth Jeremiah proclaimed, for which he was despised.

A similar situation arose after their probationary period ended. The seventy weeks concluded three and a half years after Christ’s crucifixion, when His followers were killed or driven from Jerusalem. The following seemingly peaceful years leading up to the temple’s destruction were, in fact, a cursed period—not a sign of God’s acceptance.

During the First Jewish Revolt (66–74 CE), Jewish forces initially expelled the Romans from Jerusalem and established a revolutionary government that spread its influence. However, the revolt ended in the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple.
Before Rome destroyed the temple, it temporarily withdrew because of fierce Jewish resistance. The Roman retreat in 66 CE led to the disastrous Battle of Beth Horon, where rebel forces ambushed the Romans, killing thousands and capturing their siege equipment. This unexpected victory gave the Jews an illusion of triumph and a brief period of independence. However, God was not behind their success. What seemed like victory actually provoked Roman fury and sealed Jerusalem’s fate. Their actions fueled the enemy rather than bringing deliverance. This delusion, based on false interpretation, led to bloodshed for both their enemies and the Jews

The modern state of Israel is not God’s earthly kingdom. The curse still rests upon the land and its people. Temporary victories and independence do not signal the arrival of a Jewish paradise, but rather foreshadow their downfall. Many believe God fights alongside them, but this is not the case. Many believe the battles currently taking place are the Gog and Magog war mentioned in Revelation 38, but the New Testament is clear: this war takes place a thousand years after Christ’s second coming, not now in our day. (Rev. 20:8) The wars we are witnessing right now are those that will occur just before Christ returns. With the dragon, beast, and false prophet on one side and the kings of the east on the other (Rev.16:12-16). Only the finale of this struggle comes at the very end, when, as a plague against the beast and the false prophet, God gives the kings of the east the upper hand. The false prophet has used scripture to make it appear as if they are conducting a holy war, but misapplied scripture. This makes Israel’s war appear to fulfill prophecy and be God’s will, when in fact it is fulfilling a different prophecy of their doom.
No Christian engaging in various ways in armed conflict will be blessed. Revelation 13:10 is a warning to any Christian engaging in the idea that they ought to fight for Israel’s independence as God’s nation with bloodshed.

The same dynamic that existed before the invasion by Babylon and Rome also exists today. False prophets assure the Jews that God is fighting for their victories and independence. They are fed a romantic view of a restoration of a Jewish Jerusalem that is so strong, both Jews and Christians close their eyes to the horrible acts against humanity they do. Feeling the goal sanctifies the means. However, with every triumph, the hatred and anger of their enemies only intensify. God has no earthly kingdom at present, and Israel’s success depends entirely on military strength and support from Europe and America since its founding. In Scripture, God says any such reliance, if they were still God’s people,  is “harlotry,” not a blessing (Ezekiel 23).

Those who have aided in gathering the Jews for what will become their future calamity share responsibility for their fate—having led them to believe God supports an earthly Jewish kingdom when He has declared otherwise. They will have the blood of both Jews and Muslims on their hands.

God has made the truth clear. Yet if we do not love the truth, we will be inclined to believe the words of false prophets and desire that the lie be the truth.

Time of the Heathen

In Daniel 2, God shows us a timeline of the time of the heathen. It begins with Babylon subduing the king of Jerusalem. It was at this time that God removed His earthly throne from the temple, and it was never returned to the Jewish people. This removal of the Ark signified that the time of the heathen had already begun and that Jehovah’s kingdom would not be reestablished until after the coming and going of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and its four subdivisions, Rome and the divided western remains of Rome, Europe.
And during the strength of these European powers, Christ will come and crush those feet, and all the earthly empires will perish. Only Christ’s kingdom will remain, but initially not on earth until after a thousand years have passed (Rev.20-21).

Spite this clear prophecy, many have made claims to be this earthly kingdom of God before its time. The papacy claimed to be this kingdom, but Europe did not fall; the Papacy ruled alongside them, with a unifying purpose. Even the roman high priest crowning the heads of the monarchs of Europe.

God set the record straight: Europe and Rome will fall, and as long as the ten tribes of Europe stand, God’s kingdom has not begun. Nor will His kingdom rule together with them, or exist alongside them. Nor will there be an earthly power to continue after them. The rock, representing Christ’s second coming, will completely destroy the statue’s feet and toes.
Certainly, no power established with Europe’s help is God’s kingdom either.

The horns of the Roman beast—the lands of Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire, including the Anglo-Saxons, Franks, Almani, and others—tried several times to aid the Papal cause, defeat Islam, and establish a kingdom in Jerusalem. These efforts succeeded only for a short time. The Franks, with the Pope as their spiritual father, established a kingdom in Jerusalem in 1099 after the First Crusade, which lasted until 1291, when they were defeated by the Muslims and Saladin. France again tried to take the land and Jerusalem but was defeated by the Ottomans once more in 1899. Later, England and France contributed to the Ottoman Empire’s fall after World War I. They encouraged and supported the Arab Revolt against Ottoman rule, which helped bring down the Ottomans. In 1916, they made the secret Sykes–Picot Agreement to divide much of the Ottoman Arab territories and took control of Palestine, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq—later withdrawing and allowing for kings in those lands, the kings of the east, while still holding on to Palestine and Jerusalem for some time. After World War II, Franklin D. Roosevelt, president of the United States, and Winston Churchill, prime minister of the United Kingdom, led the initiative to gather the nations and create the United Nations, which entered into force on 24 October 1945. In 1947, the UN approved the partition plan for Palestine. On 14th of May 1948, David Ben-Gurion proclaimed the State of Israel, and the United States recognized Israel that same day. Thus, the beast and the false prophet assembled the kings (governments) to gather “them” (the Jewish people) there, leading to new conflict with the kings of the east, especially Jordan, Iraq, and Iran, as well as Syria and Lebanon. To this day, the old temple grounds in Jerusalem remain under an Islamic Waqf, which is funded, directed, and appointed by Jordan, one of the kings of the east. While Jewish groups are preparing to reclaim the mount from Islamic control, we are being led to the final conflict before Christ returns. Jesus proclaims that in the final stages of the conflict between the West and the kings of the east, He will come as a thief in the night. Therefore, we cannot say for sure if Jesus will come before they take the mount or shortly after. Christ’s statement that He comes as a thief in this conflict indicates His coming will be a surprise but also that He comes to take away something from them (Luk 12:39-40). To fight them in what they are doing, for it is a counterfeit and a rebellion, which craft, not His kingdom.
As Revelation explains, we see Christ especially confronting His enemies: the Roman beast with its European horns, as well as the false prophet.

God comes to defeat their power, not to use their power to establish His kingdom. Europe does not establish God’s kingdom; instead, God’s kingdom will destroy them and their territories. What they have built will fall. Their gatherings are unholy and controlled by unclean spirits.

A Warning From Christ: Not here or there

Christ gives a serious warning against the claims that His kingdom has begun before the feet in the vision explained to Daniel are crushed.

Luke 17:20-24:
“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. 
And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. 
And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. 
For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day”. 

Jesus said that if people claim His kingdom has begun “here or there”, in any earthly geographical place, do not believe them.

The phrases “see here” and “see there” indicate that at least two influential places will claim to be God’s earthly kingdom, gain followers, and deceive people into believing these claims.

The papacy has claimed to be God’s kingdom on earth. When the USA unite state and church they will by it claim it. But the evangelicals controlling Trump claim the state of Israel is that place.

Jesus goes on to say that when they claim His kingdom is on earth here or there, do not go after them or follow them. This means not to help them set up an earthly religious kingdom, take part in the conquest, or their pursuit. Don’t take part in what they are doing. Don’t give your support through your presence or participation. Don’t listen to them; don’t follow them.

Any kingdom that begins visibly before Christ’s second coming, when he can be seen by all in the heavens, is a lie. He has not called anyone to invade lands to create a new Israel, or to force Christianization upon any lands.
It’s important to note that Christ’s kingdom is a dual kingdom – Christ is both priest and King. He is a priest on his throne. Meaning any kingdom that claims to be God’s priests under a religious government is mimicking Christ’s kingdom. They are priests under an earthly ruler.
Christ does not have a sanctuary service on earth; His kingdom is not set up here. His sanctuary is in heaven, His city of Kingship in the Jerusalem in heaven. And it will at a later time be brought down from heaven to be part of a new earth. Not the old world (Rev.21:1-3).

God’s true Israel faced, from the time of Jesus, two great enemies persecuting it. The Jewish leaders and teachers who went against Christ, and the Christian church that abused Christ’s name. They are the lo here and lo there.
It’s important to notice that when the Pharisees asked when God’s kingdom should come, they were referring to Israel’s independence and renewed greatness in the world. This was the Jewish hope, and it was Jews asking a Jew about it. It was in answer to this expressed hope that Jesus warned against the deception that the prophesied kingdom of Israel would begin before Christ’s coming. His warning was in that very context: against a Jewish independent state. Jesus then continued by comparing His coming to the days of Noah and Lot, when the godly lived alongside the ungodly until the very end, explaining His true people would remain scattered until the end.
Christ spoke of the reinstitution of the state of Israel before His coming, warning not to follow or believe it when it happens, and not to have any part in it. The phrase “see here” is clearly a reference to the State of Israel. Some teach and believe that the state of Israel is preparing the way for Christ, but Christ will never be king in this state. It will perish.

All systems built by man on earth will fall when Christ returns. Christ’s kingdom on earth does not begin with an earthly kingdom that people can physically visit. If His kingdom began with a man-made assembly, then Christ’s warning to Jews against anyone claiming His kingdom have begun would make little sense.

Christ said those who claim there is such a place on earth are false prophets. There are no human walls that can surround God’s kingdom right now. If we give our money to construct or support such a kingdom or state before Christ’s second coming, we are deceived.

Evangelicals and Protestants who have supported the gathering the Jews and forming a Jewish state have become like the old crusaders who, in Christ’s name, fought Islam in the Middle East to capture Jerusalem. Christians with swords in their hands fought the Muslims to gain an earthly territory for Christ. Likewise, evangelicals, although they did not carry the sword themselves, armed the Jews to take the territory. They elected leaders and urged them to send weapons of mass destruction to what they believed was God’s state of Israel. In doing so, they repeat the old delusion, only in modern warfare. This reflects impatience for Christ’s kingdom—the mistaken belief that they must take up the sword to bring about Christ’s coming. This is why Christ, in Revelation, compared those who did not take the sword to the patient saints: those who wait for Christ to fight for their land, rather than battle for it themselves. For the evangelical crusaders of our time, they are still fighting for the Temple Mount just like the crusaders did for the Catholics.

Secondly, the concept of an earthly kingdom ruled by the Messiah or Christ belongs to the Old Covenant system. Under the Old Covenant, God established a nation to represent Him and His law—an earthly kingdom. However, God made it clear that Israel could only remain His nation if they stayed true to Him. When they were not, God promised a new covenant. This new covenant is Christ’s spiritual kingdom, not an earthly nation or country. By supporting Israel as a nation in this context, Christians are returning to the Old Covenant system established at Sinai, when Israel was made God’s nation.

• See there! The Vatican has lied.
• See here (In Israel)! The government of Israel and the evangelicals and Protestants have lied. The evangelicals in the USA have lied.

Christ is not in the “desert” or “secret chambers”.

Christ is not waiting for a kingdom of His to be constructed on earth. He is waiting for the gospel to be preached. He is not waiting for just one nation to be converted and preached to. The final message to come before Christ’s return is said to: “having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory” (Rev.18:1) And “having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people” (Rev.14:6)
Jesus said: “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Mat 24:14). 
What kingdom? The one that begins in the heart and then by Christ’s coming. Not the earthly kingdom which he warns against:

Matthew 24:24-27:
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 
Behold, I have told you before. 
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert (word: erēmos) ; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 
For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 

What desert? What secret chamber? The word for desert is the Greek “erēmos,” which is the same word used when Jesus says about the Jewish people who rejected him while overlooking the temple and Jerusalem: “your house is left to you desolate (erēmos).” (Matt.23:38) The Jewish congregation that rejected Him is in a state of erēmos. Desert. A reminder, too, of the time when they were condemned to wander the wilderness for forty years, barred from entering the promised land because of their rebellion.

The second power Jesus says leads to desolation (erēmos) is the Roman beast with its ten European horns:
“When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation (erēmos), spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place.”  (Matthew 24:15)
If any prophet says Christ is in the places He has left, they lie.

What about the secret chambers? The word is: tameion. The word comes from tamias, which means a dispenser or distributor. The Bible concordance says: “that is, a chamber on the ground floor or interior of an oriental house (generally used for storage or privacy, a spot for retirement)”.
The Greek word usually referred to the inner room, store room, or private chamber inside a house. They were used in ancient Greece for storing valuables, food, and supplies. Or for private meetings away from the public. Herodotus, in the fifth century BC, used the word for where the governmental/public wealth was stored:
Herodotus, Histories 7.144
“The Athenians, having got large sums of money in the public treasury (tameion), which had come in to them from the mines which are at Laureion…”
Herodotus, Histories 9.87
“Let us give them money taken out of the treasury of the State (tameion)…”

You could say that if you are looking for Jesus, do not follow the money or those who control it, or decision-making that takes place in private rooms, hidden from public view.
At the very end of the book of Revelation, when speaking of the false prophet and the beast, it explains that they have the power to hinder people from buying and selling. It means they control the state’s treasury. They use this to pressure people into obeying a religious-state beast. Christ’s warning might well be against even the notion that anyone with this power, using it, claiming to represent Christ, should not be believed.

It can also speak about claims that Christ is working through a leading person.
Notice that Christ does not say someone will have you go to the private chamber:
“Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not” (Mat 24:26). 
He is saying not to look for Jesus in the “eremos”. He tells them not to go there to find Him. But when it comes to the claim that Jesus is in the “secret chamber,” he says, “Believe it not.” You are not invited to the secret chamber; you cannot go there; instead, you are asked to believe that Christ has shown himself to these powerful people and therefore they speak on Christ’s behalf. This was a common way to gain people’s support in ancient times. Claiming that God had spoken to them and given them visions and positions, thereby strengthening the belief among the people that they work through divine authority. Pharaoh did it. Alexander the Great did it. Augustus and Constantine did it. Some popes have done it. Leading evangelicals gain their followers by claiming it. That does not mean Christ can not show himself to anyone, but if it’s used to exercise authority, we should be on alert. Christ’s will is given through His two witnesses, the Old and the New Testaments, or the law and the prophets. No one claiming to represent Christ in conflict with this should be believed.

No nation under God.

There is no nation under God, because God currently has no earthly kingdom or armed army. The American army is not God’s army. Their weapons are not God’s weapons. The state of Israel is not the state of God. Giving money to the state of Israel is not giving money to God. It’s giving money to an image of a state that once was, but that can never be again in our current world. It’s given money to weapons of mass destruction, to strife and conflict. Even leading many Jews into a trap, a conflict they cannot win in the long term. It is even possible, that the Jews are placed there as a living shield to advance the agenda of the Dragon, beast and the false prophet.

Neither is any church institution his kingdom on earth. Not the Vatican, not the Church of England, not the US evangelical institution. God’s faithful people are part of Christ’s kingdom, but God does not speak through or use an earthly institution to control or command His people. Christ is the only mediator in the New Covenant.

In fact, the Bible is clear: the beast, the dragon, and the false prophets are those deceiving kings and queens, inspiring and setting up a false premise for worship through them. Gathering them under their deceptions.

Land not given on the basis of genetics

The false prophets in the day of Jeremiah told the citizens of Jerusalem that God would secure their land for them on the basis of their identity as Israeli descendants. And the basis on which they had been entrusted with the law. This illusion led them to continue fighting Babylon, resulting in their destruction, including the temple.

The false reassurance by the prophets led to the leader witnessing the execution of his sons before his eyes, after which he himself was blinded and taken captive to Babylon.
The Jewish nation once sought protection from Rome, made a covenant with it, only to be subdued by that very power. Eventually, it destroyed them once they rebelled. The modern state of Israel sought the kings of this earth, even the Roman beast with its horns, Europe, for help to seize the land. And from the USA to protect it. Not understanding the trap they have put themselves in. In ancient Israel’s history, those to whom they sought help usually became their downfall as well. Jews have been gathered, but they are also trapped in a war they will not win. And even if they succeed for a time, they will never achieve the kingdom they hoped would result from it.

The false prophets taught, through their false prophecy, that God’s kingdom was among them, no matter whether they obeyed God or not, or even if they partly obeyed him.

The prophets made them think they were entitled to God’s land because of their flesh and who their forefathers were. Because of the promises made to their forefathers and the covenant at Sinai, they feel entitled to blessings that were actually given on conditional terms.

While the true prophet told them otherwise, even the law did. The land was given on condition. And if they did not fulfill the condition, God would scatter them from the land.

A remnant of Abraham would remain living in the land – but not as an empire. But suppressed by other rulers. The state of Israel is trying to fight this, but as in the past, it can only succeed for a time.

The false assembly: Armageddon

The Bible reveals that in the end times, there will be a false gathering before the true one.
The true one happens when Christ returns. We are not supposed to gather anyone, even His people, in any earthly kingdom before Christ comes. We are not given the task of separating the tares and the wheat either. We are not to bundle people up for Christ’s sake, in some strange attempt to help Him. For Jesus Himself will gather His people from one end of the earth to another to Himself at His coming.

Matthew 24:31: 
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. 

Before that there will be a gathering created by unclean spirits. The false gathering we are told of is established through relations with kings and queens – through institutions of earthly rulers. Through institutions like the United Nations. Led by the dragon, beast, and false prophet.

Now, if you are a Jew, you have been grossly deceived into following false prophets. Your only hope is to withdraw from the battle for the land.
And if you are a Christian partaking in this, you have placed yourself under God’s judgment and need to hastily repent. You have blood on your hands, the blood of Christians, Muslims, and Jews. And you will be found “naked” when Christ comes as a thief in the middle of this conflict (Rev.16:15) For instead of Christ righteousness you have looked for salvation through the governments of this world.

And so it is with both Israel and the Vatican. One claiming to be Christ’s kingdom and the other claiming to be God’s land. Both claiming to be God’s priests and chosen nation. And the US claiming to be the Lord’s prophet and army.

They are the lo here, and they are the lo there.

Although the Papist and the Zionist dream seem to compete and even one speaks against the other on account of it– it is because they both want to be considered God’s kingdom and God’s people on earth. They both want to represent God’s sanctuary on earth.

According to Catholic catechism, an interpretation adopted by protestants and evangelicals, states that there will be a mass conversion of Jews to the church in the end time: Catechism of the Catholic Church §674 (Israel’s recognition of the Messiah before Christ’s return).
Lumen Gentium §8, which states that the Church of Christ “subsists in” the Catholic Church.
Thus, Catholics see the event as a future reconciliation of Israel with Christ and His Church, not as a separate covenant apart from the Church. They want Jews to become Catholic.

The Papacy has copied the sanctuary and temple services and claims in part to be their continuation. That is why you see the priests with the bread and the incense, walking among the candlesticks; however, he has changed God’s law and presents himself as a God in his temple. Christ said He is the temple (John 2:19-21) Paul had said that Christ people are His temple, when they are connected to Him (1Co 3:16). Anyone who claims to possess and mediate Christ’s sacrifice and to act as judge and ruler over His people, is playing God in God’s temple. There is no need to expect a future antichrist in a rebuilt Jewish temple. The temple Paul refers to, where the man of sin will sit, is the church of Christ. A God is a judge who judges according to a law, and the Pope judges according to his own law, even placing it above God’s law. This makes him the man of sin. For what is a greater crime, the sinner or the one who legalizes sin in God’s name? The coming of the lawless is the coming of the one who makes God’s law void, making disobedience to God appear as a Christian virtue.
Telling you that if the law of God and the laws of the church conflict, you should follow the church law and reject God’s.

The papacy has created a temple system that mimics the Old Covenant system, and he has made himself both king and high priest with an earthly government. A place where people come to the priests for them to mediate atonement.

Israel wishes to build their own temple and do the same, begin the old covenant system. They have already taken the land according to the Old Covenant system. Now they want to continue the rituals as well.

However, both these systems are in conflict with the sanctuary in heaven ministered by Christ Himself.
They are the lo here and lo there!

Why Jeremiah’s grotto is part of the discovery:

Jeremiah’s message belongs to the Ark discovery: it is in Jeremiah’s grotto. For God did not bring the Ark out to support a new temple or an extended or new kingdom of God in Jerusalem – No, the Ark will remain where it is. Its message says that you are all saved outside an earthly kingdom of God – individually – till Christ returns to take you to where He is – heaven and the new Jerusalem. There is not one salvation for Jews and another for Christians. That idea is a lie and a false prophecy. The truth is this:

1Corinthians 12:12-13 
“For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit”. 

There is only one body. Christians are branches impoded upon the original body. They were never meant to form a new or another religion. They were to, along with converted jews, represent a united body. The heathens were invited to become part of God’s Israel, not to form their own religion with Christ’s name. Christ is a Jewish king, not a heathen king. Christ’s name can not be moved to another system. Heathens were to be brought into God’s system, as given through the law and the prophets.

This principle is seen in Paul’s writing, as a verse has been twisted to mean something new. To mean that the time of the heathens is fulfilled by an earthly kingdom of the Jews established.

Romans 11:25-26:  
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

The mystery was always, and is still rejected by many Jews, that heathens should become part of Israel. When Paul writes all of Israel shall be saved, he means when the faithful Jews and heathens are gathered together on the same vine. When they become as one.

He is not saying that Jews will create a Jewish state, a kingdom of God here on earth, and then they will be saved through that, while Christians are raptured to a kingdom in heaven – separating the body of Christ in two. The fullness of Israel is a combination of Jews and Gentiles, both believing and accepting Christ’s atonement and thereby becoming one fold, one Israel under one law. If one group is governed by one law and another by a different law, they are ruled by separate authorities and stand divided.

In John 10:16, Jesus Christ says: “And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.”

This was such a shock to the disciples, such a deep mystery, the conversion of Gentiles, that God had to explain it to them many times. Only a vision from God led Peter to take the step into a gentile’s house, and then he exclaimed with wonder that they, too, had received the Holy Spirit.

In Zachariah, where it speaks of Israel being scattered, Jesus said, quoting it, that when he was taken prisoner, this marked the fulfillment of the beginning of the scattering of his people, referring to His own followers (Matt.26:31, Zec.13:7). By quoting Zechariah at his arrest, Christ makes it clear that the Israel mentioned in Zechariah, which would later be restored and gathered, is His followers. About this remnant He says: “I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God” (Zac.13:9) Christ confirms that the name Israel and the prophecies related to it continued among his followers, who were both Jews and Gentiles in one fold.

Isaiah 62:2: 
“And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name”. 
Isaiah 11:10:
“And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse… to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.”
Isaiah 42:4
“and the isles shall wait for his law”

That is why it is one of the greatest deceptions, a false sign and wonder, given to the Christian body, that the Israel of the bible and the fulfillment of these prophecies are about the descendants of those who refused to be part of Christ’s fold. To gather them in a land in defiance of God’s clear conditions. Christ said that Israel was His followers, and that He himself would gather them at His return.

Jesus said to the jews who rejected him:

Matthew 23:38-39
“Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord”.

Their house was left desolate because Christ was the Shekinah, Jehovah, the one who led them out of Egypt and to the promised land, whose presence had been among them. By rejecting him, their house was left desolate. Christ is Jehovah.

They were upon rejecting Christ a people without a God and a savior. And only upon receiving Him as their atonement and righteousness could their house again be filled with the glory of God and their nakedness be covered. Not the earthly built temple – but the temple of their body, their hearts. Just as He promised when He left His temple the first time, that He would come back to fill their hearts (Jeremiah 31and Ezekiel 11).

The new Jerusalem is not one built by human hands – it’s built in heaven. No earthly constructed Jerusalem is a reestablishment of God’s Jerusalem. It was not God’s original plan to scatter anyone, but a consequence of them rejecting their King. Had they remained faithful the city would have remained God’s capitol forever (Jeremiah 17:25).

Jesus said:

 John 4:21 & 23
“Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. …
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

The Ark is in Jeremiah’s grotto – within his message – the message of the true prophet. There is no protection for a Jewish nation or Jerusalem based on genetics or claims to follow God’s law – when they persecuted and killed the real prophets, twisted the law, relied on false hope of greatness, combined pagan practices with the name of God. – God would not secure a land for them.
And the false prophets among the Jews of today, besides their own Zionists, have been none other than the evangelical and protestant churches.

The Ark is in Jeremiah’s grotto – its message is not the reinstatement of an earthly kingdom in Jerusalem and the Jews, but that the only way, the truth, and the life is Christ’s blood. The Ark of Israel is now the Ark of Christ. It shows there is only atonement through Christ. There is no kingdom without Christ. His is the throne. And his throne is outside the city gates.
And it points to that coming rock hitting the kingdoms of this world. And Jesus was clear: until He comes in the heavens – lightning from one end to another for all to see – any kingdom on earth is a deception we ought not follow or support. And if we do, we will be bundled up with them for destruction during both the plagues and the coming destruction.

In 1995/96, the modern state of Israel sent six men dressed in priestly garments to move the Ark of the Covenant from Golgotha to a place of their choosing in their quarters.
Therefore, God struck the six men Israel sent in to move the Ark from the cave of Jeremiah to the house of their false prophets. And he will strike them again and again if they try again. They will not get their hands on God’s Ark again. They will never mediate animal blood before it, perform Yom Kippur upon it, or visit it. This is God’s testimony to them.

The no against the yes and the yes against the no

Israel carried the sanctuary and the law, even the Ark, through the wilderness for 40 years. They even tried to stone their leader, Moses, and the high priest. Again why? Because God said through them that he would rather let them die in the wilderness than be given the promised land while they had a rebellious spirit. When Moses told them to enter the land, they refused, not trusting God. When Moses said that the generation would perish in the “eremos”, they tried to take the land by force without God.
Today, in the very area where they fought for what God would not give to that generation, God had declared would die in the “eremos”, there now stands a nuclear facility—the site of their first nuclear weapons—serving as a symbol of their attempt to reclaim what has, in reality, been taken from them and has not been given to their current generation.
This nuclear weapon is their security. Yet when they thought they would conquer their enemies in this very area, against God’s word and believing in their own victory, they still lost. In the same way, their nuclear weapons will not save them on the day of destruction if they continue to reject their own salvation. As long as the descendants of Israel rebel against God’s leader, Jesus Christ, they are destined to die in the “eremos” — the deserted wilderness.  

THE ARK OF THE COVENANT IS NOT AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVERY

It is a message—a warning to leaders and false prophets of doom: repent or face judgment. It is a message to the world to seek shelter and redemption in the blood of Christ, not in religious earthly kingdoms or governments. Do not trust in religious states, money, or anything established in the nations’ gatherings. Christ kingdom will come outside all of this.

The only one who truly owns both the Ark itself and its message is Christ.

Ron Wyatt did not discover the Ark; he was shown where it was and called to excavate it and bring its message to light. For three and a half years, Ron Wyatt returned to the site repeatedly, continuing to uncover what God had told him was there. He found the grotto of Jeremiah, located beneath where Christ had been crucified.

God owns this message. You cannot inherit it or buy it. It belongs to God, and only those He chooses will bring out His truth with it. If that is done through a Jew, it will be a Jew of Christ’s Israel, not one devoted to the cause of the state of Israel, which represents a competing system, law, and atonement.

In the law, God gives us two warnings about false prophets. The first is this: if they urge you to follow other gods—or to obey leaders whose laws regarding worship contradict God’s law—they are false prophets.

He also warns that if what the false prophet says does not come true, that person is a false prophet who prophesies from his own heart and mind (Deuteronomy 18:21–22). Then He says that even if the prophet’s words come true, if they are not aligned with God’s law, we must still not accept them as the words of a true prophet (Deuteronomy 13:1–3). Even Satan can predict his own actions, but that does not make him a true prophet. The main characteristic of a false prophet is that they separate people from God’s law. This has been the case since the Garden of Eden and remains true today.

Today, 99.5% of all Christians have been led by religious leaders and prophets to believe they do not have to respect the law inside the Ark of the Covenant. The number is the sum of all followers of Christian denominations that have declared that God’s law, as it is in the Ark, is no longer in effect. And who follow a sabbath after the Pope’s law, rather the sabbath of God’s law in the Ark. 99.5% is an overwhelming number, showing an overwhelming deception. And it’s all due to Papal influence over the years. He has influenced the orthodox, the Protestants, and the evangelicals to continue in the traditions he has created and placed above God’s law.

In this context, the resurfacing of the Ark comes at a time when almost all Christians in the world are deceived into unintentional rebellion. But they are also deceived because of the comfort they lust after which the traditions give them. The sabbath law tells us how to worship and honor God. Its a law God has given regarding true worship. Because the strong majority follow these conflicting laws regarding worship, its easier to go with the flow then to be faithful to God.

Many of the christian prophets claim that God changed the law and that you are to keep the revised version given by the church, making the deception easier to accept. It does not appear to be open rebellion against God’s law, but rather something done for God’s glory. Showing Christ’s blood upon the mercy seat, God will set the record straight that there is no atonement or reconciliation with God outside of this covenant. Either we accept God’s law and kingship and receive atonement for our sins against it, or there is only lawlessness and no atonement. Christ’s blood is offered only through God’s juridical system, not through an earthly temple or church.

Many Christians claim you insult Christ and His sacrifice if you respect and keep the law, arguing that God has rejected His own law. This is another lie from the false prophet. It’s only through repenting of rebellion against God’s law that salvation is offered.

While Jewish leaders and teachers claim that salvation is found outside Christ and that you can be saved through rituals that were merely a symbol of Christ, but which never in themselves held power to save. There is no Yom Kippur, Day of Atonement, for modern Israel besides the blood of Christ.

God’s people in the end times, those who do not follow the false prophet, the beast, or the dragon, are described in the following way:

• They are a remnant of Israel: “the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Rev.12:17). 
• Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. (Rev 14:12) 
• Those who do not do the sins of the church and form alliances with the governments and the tradesmen of this world. They are “not partakers of her sins” (Rev.18:1-5)
• Those who patiently refuse to participate in the forceful attempt to establish a kingdom of God on earth are described in Revelation: “He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.” (Rev 13:10)
• And they have “His Father’s name written in their foreheads” (Rev.14:1). God’s name is His character, His righteousness. The name on the forehead represents whose lead we follow and who our Lord truly is. Whose authority we follow. While the others are described with the beast’s name on their forehead. Representing the allowance of another political – religious power to control their mind and actions.

By the admission or affirmation or membership of 99.5% of Christians, they do not follow God’s law, but that changed by religious leaders. They follow God halfway, and their own traditions the other half. Just like Judah did before Babylon conquered the city.

By placing their trust in human mediation of God’s will, contrary to God’s own word, they align themselves with the false prophet and the beast, rather than with God’s remnant.
However, the Bible describes a final call to separate from spiritual Babylon. God recognizes that many who are deceived are still His people, and so He extends mercy, inviting them one last time to leave deception and take their stand on His side: “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues” (Rev 18:4).

 With the statement making it clear that He does recognize having good Christians under the ranks of the false prophet. But their salvation can only happen if they receive the warning and walk away. Such was the case in the time of Jeremiah as well. God pleaded with His people to reconsider listening to the false prophets so he could save them from the coming destruction. Some were saved; most were not.

“There is Jeremiah’s grotto, and the Ark of the Covenant is in there”. The message of the Ark of the Covenant discovery is together with the message of Jeremiah. The removal of God’s throne from earthly kingdoms, even from inside the gates of Jerusalem – there is no earthly kingdom of Christ and will not be – before that day, that great and terrible day.

And the only way to be saved, if you are a Jew or a Christian, is to not aid the false prophets and to instead seek salvation through Christ’s blood and to repent of rebellion against God’s law as written in the ark.

If you are not a Jeremiah, then be Baruch or Ebed-Melech, and you will be saved during the tribulation that will fall on the earth just like it once did upon Jerusalem.
