Preparing for the End of Days Prophecy | The Role of Elohim, His Bride, and Divine Institutions
The anticipation of the End of Days is a central theme in biblical prophecy, wherein Elohim (אֱלֹהִים), His bride (the Church), and various divine institutions are called to prepare for the fulfillment of God’s eternal plan. This preparation requires a deep understanding of the prophetic scriptures, the role of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the unity within the House of God, and the ultimate restoration of the Jewish people. The culmination of these events is the ushering in of the Messianic Age and the establishment of the Millennial Kingdom under the reign of Yeshua HaMashiach (יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ).
The Role of Elohim and His Bride
Elohim, the Sovereign Creator, is the architect of the prophetic timeline. His bride, the Church, is tasked with preparing for His return by living in holiness, spreading the Gospel, and embodying the love and truth of Yeshua. The preparation involves spiritual warfare against the forces of darkness, a theme evident in Ephesians 6:12 (WMB): “For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
The bride of Christ must also embrace her identity as part of the divine family, recognizing that she is grafted into the olive tree of Israel (Romans 11:17–24). This understanding deepens the connection to the prophetic promises made to the Jewish people and underscores the importance of standing in solidarity with Israel during these times.
Unity in the House of God
Unity within the House of God (בֵּית יְהוָה) is paramount as we approach the End of Days. Yeshua Himself prayed for this unity in John 17:21 (WMB): “that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.” The Church, as the collective body of believers, must transcend denominational divisions, focusing instead on the shared mission of advancing the Kingdom of God (מַלְכוּת אֱלֹהִים) on earth.
This unity extends to the relationship between Jew and Gentile, as expressed in Ephesians 2:14–16 (WMB): “For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition, having abolished in the flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross.” The Church must actively work towards reconciliation, fostering a spirit of unity that reflects the heart of Elohim.
The Redemption and Restoration of Israel
One of the most significant aspects of End of Days prophecy is the redemption of the Jewish people, known as the Kibbutz Galuyot (קִבּוּץ גָּלֻיּוֹת), the ingathering of the exiles. This prophetic event marks the beginning of a new Exodus, where Elohim redeems His people from their captivity, just as He did during the Babylonian Exile. The prophet Ezekiel speaks of this in Ezekiel 36:24 (WMB): “For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.”
This ingathering will be accompanied by the restoration of the kingly House of David (בֵּית דָּוִד) and the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem. The Messiah, a regent from the House of David, will lead the Jewish people and the world into the Messianic Age, a time characterized by justice, righteousness, and peace (Isaiah 11:1–10, WMB). During this period, all nations will recognize that the God of Israel is the only true God, as prophesied in Zechariah 14:9 (WMB): “Yahweh will be King over all the earth. In that day Yahweh will be one, and his name one.”
The Millennial Reign of Yeshua
The 1,000-year reign of Yeshua HaMashiach, also known as the Millennial Kingdom (מַלְכוּת הָאֶלֶף), is a time of unprecedented peace and righteousness on earth. Revelation 20:4 (WMB) describes this reign: “I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Yeshua and for the word of God, and such as didn’t worship the beast nor his image, and didn’t receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived and reigned with Messiah for a thousand years.”
During this time, Yeshua will fulfill God’s promises to the world, including those made to Israel and each of the twelve tribes. These promises include:
- Judah (יְהוּדָה): Leadership and kingship, fulfilled in the reign of Yeshua as the Lion of Judah (Genesis 49:10, WMB).
- Levi (לֵוִי): A priestly role, with the Levites serving in the restored Temple (Deuteronomy 33:8–11, WMB).
- Benjamin (בִּנְיָמִין): A warrior tribe, contributing to the protection and defense of the Holy Land (Genesis 49:27, WMB).
- Ephraim (אֶפְרַיִם) and Manasseh (מְנַשֶּׁה): Fruitfulness and strength, representing the multiplication of Israel’s descendants (Genesis 48:19–20, WMB).
- Zebulun (זְבוּלֻן): Maritime trade, contributing to the economic prosperity of Israel (Genesis 49:13, WMB).
- Issachar (יִשָּׂשכָר): Wisdom and knowledge, playing a role in the governance of the land (1 Chronicles 12:32, WMB).
- Dan (דָּן): A judge and leader, involved in the administration of justice (Genesis 49:16, WMB).
- Naphtali (נַפְתָּלִי): Freedom and swiftness, contributing to the spiritual liberation of Israel (Genesis 49:21, WMB).
- Gad (גָּד): A warrior tribe, aiding in the defense of Israel’s borders (Genesis 49:19, WMB).
- Asher (אָשֵׁר): Prosperity and abundance, providing for the physical needs of the nation (Genesis 49:20, WMB).
- Reuben (רְאוּבֵן): The firstborn, symbolizing the strength and dignity of Israel (Genesis 49:3, WMB).
Each tribe will play a unique role in the fulfillment of God’s promises, contributing to the establishment of His Kingdom on earth.
The New Heaven, New Earth, and the Prophetic Reset
The culmination of the End of Days prophecy is the creation of a new heaven and a new earth, as described in Revelation 21:1 (WMB): “I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.” This prophetic reset marks the completion of God’s redemptive plan, where sin and death are no more, and all of creation is restored to its original glory.
The bride of Christ and each divine institution will play a pivotal role in this vision. The Church, as the bride, will be united with Yeshua in the New Jerusalem (יְרוּשָׁלַיִם הַחֲדָשָׁה), a city that symbolizes the eternal dwelling place of God with His people (Revelation 21:2–3, WMB). The divine institutions, including the family, the Church, and the government, will be aligned with God’s perfect will, contributing to the establishment of peace and righteousness in the new creation.
Conclusion
Preparing for the End of Days prophecy requires a comprehensive understanding of God’s plan for His people and the world. Elohim, His bride, and the divine institutions must work in unity to fulfill their roles in this prophetic timeline. The restoration of Israel, the reign of Yeshua, and the establishment of the New Jerusalem are all integral parts of this divine plan. As we look forward to the coming of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, let us prepare our hearts and minds, standing firm in our faith and eagerly anticipating the glorious future that awaits us.
