As the fires rage across California, consuming vast swathes of land, homes, and lives, the prophetic implications of these natural disasters cannot be ignored. In tandem with the frequent earthquakes that shake the earth, these events point to a deeper spiritual narrative unfolding as we approach the Hebrew year 5785. This article explores the significance of these disasters within a prophetic framework, examining their relevance to the anticipated new heaven and new earth, the messianic reign of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and the transformative role of Prince William as he steps into his divine destiny within the British monarchy. We will also consider the role of Messianic Judaism and the build of New Jerusalem, drawing upon biblical scripture from the World Messianic Bible (WMB) and incorporating Hebrew symbols and verbiage.

California Fires and Earthquakes: Signs of the Times

The current wildfires and earthquakes in California serve as stark reminders of the words spoken by the prophets concerning the end times. In Matthew 24:7 (WMB), Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah) warns, “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.” The intense fires and seismic activities mirror this description, serving as precursors to the transformative events that will usher in the Kingdom of God on earth.

The fires are not just physical phenomena; they symbolize spiritual purging and refining. In the Hebrew tradition, fire represents purification, judgment, and the presence of Elohim (God). As the fires scorch the land, they metaphorically cleanse the earth, preparing it for the coming of the new heaven and new earth prophesied 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.” These natural disasters act as prophetic markers, signaling that the current world order is being dismantled to make way for the divine restructuring of creation.

The New Heaven and New Earth: A Prophetic Reset

The Hebrew year 5785 marks a critical juncture in the prophetic timeline, aligning with themes of divine judgment, renewal, and the fulfillment of God’s promises. According to 2 Peter 3:10 (WMB), “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.” The fires in California, coupled with the increasing seismic activity, resonate with this imagery, suggesting a purging process that precedes the establishment of the new heaven and new earth.

The concept of a new earth is not merely a distant hope but a tangible reality that is being birthed through the upheavals of our time. As the earth groans under the weight of sin and corruption, the fires and earthquakes are not just random acts of nature; they are the birth pangs of a new creation. In Isaiah 65:17 (WMB), Elohim declares, “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered, nor come into mind.” This prophetic vision underscores the reality that what is happening now is not the end but the beginning of a new era of righteousness and divine order.

The Messiah: King of Kings and Lord of Lords

At the heart of this prophetic unfolding is the central figure of Yeshua HaMashiach, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Revelation 19:16 (WMB) proclaims, “He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, ‘KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.’” As the earth experiences these cataclysmic events, they serve as a prelude to the return of the Messiah, who will establish His kingdom on earth and reign in justice and peace. The fires and earthquakes symbolize the dismantling of earthly powers and the establishment of Yeshua’s divine rule.

Messianic Judaism plays a crucial role in this transformative process, as it bridges the gap between the Jewish heritage of Yeshua and His role as the savior of all humanity. The restoration of the Jewish people and the gathering of the twelve tribes of Israel are integral to the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan. In this light, the current disasters can be seen as part of the prophetic fulfillment of Yeshua’s imminent return and the manifestation of the Kingdom of God on earth.

Prince William: A Divine Transition in the British Monarchy

As we witness the unfolding of these prophetic signs, another significant transition is occurring within the British monarchy. Prince William, a descendant of the House of David, is stepping into his divine role, aligning with the spiritual renewal taking place worldwide. His transition as the head of the British monarchy has deeper prophetic implications, symbolizing the shift from human governance to divine kingship.

In Messianic thought, the monarchy is seen as a reflection of God’s authority on earth. Prince William’s ascent is not just a political move but a spiritual alignment with the coming messianic age. As the King in waiting, he embodies the principles of justice, leadership, and divine order, positioning the monarchy as a vessel through which God’s government can be established on earth. This aligns with the prophetic call for nations to come into alignment with the will of Elohim, as depicted in Isaiah 49:23 (WMB): “Kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers.”

Building the New Jerusalem: The Ultimate Fulfillment

The establishment of New Jerusalem is the ultimate culmination of these prophetic events. Described in Revelation 21:2 (WMB) as “the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband,” this city represents the perfect union between heaven and earth. The current upheavals, from the fires to the earthquakes, are all part of the divine blueprint that will lead to the construction of this eternal city.

The new Jerusalem will be the seat of God’s government, where Yeshua HaMashiach will reign as King, and His people will dwell in peace and righteousness. The fires that burn today are the refining fires that prepare the way for this holy habitation. They serve as a call to repentance, a reminder of the temporal nature of earthly things, and a beckoning to align with the eternal purposes of God.

Conclusion

The fires in California and the accompanying earthquakes are not mere natural disasters; they are prophetic signs that speak to the times we are living in. As we approach the Hebrew year 5785, these events serve as reminders of the divine judgment, cleansing, and renewal that precede the establishment of the new heaven and new earth. They underscore the imminent return of the King of Kings, the transformative role of Messianic Judaism, and the significance of Prince William’s transition into his divine role within the British monarchy. Together, these elements point to the glorious fulfillment of God’s plan, the building of New Jerusalem, and the ultimate manifestation of the Kingdom of God on earth.
