We are excited to share with you the prophecy of Tyre and Sidon, and Zarephath as you can see in the title of the video. This is amazing. Hopefully you have followed along in the series.
Basically, Armageddon is all about the Promised Land, the area that was promised by the Most High, the exact locations for the Tribes as detailed with Moses and it is detailed in the Millennium. The Millennium is detailed in Ezekiel and it shows you the locations of the Tribes. We’ll show you that in the presentation when we get to the notes.
Now those locations they go into Lebanon, the places in the Scripture commonly known as Tyre and Sidon. Even Christ talked about Tyre and Sidon. We can actually look at what He said and we can see that He’s alluding to Judgment and Armageddon, It would be better for you in these places as Tyre. He’s talking about the ancient story of Tyre. It’s a fascinating story that we really haven’t embraced in the West and in a historical context like we should. If we had, we would really have a grasp on this whole prophecy of Tyre and Sidon as it relates to Armageddon.
Basically some of the Tribes, they go into Lebanon and they go north of Lebanon, and they go into Syria. That’s on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea and so the whole modern nation of Lebanon is absorbed into the Promised Land to the 12 Tribes. That being said, in Armageddon to what extent does the modern state of Israel extend those Boundaries? to what Tribes? That’s what we’re watching to see. Does it go all the way to Hamath, which is Hama in Syria? or does it go to Zarephath?
We can actually see the prophecy. We’re going to talk today about Zarephath and the minor prophet Obadiah, which does appear to be what it is we have been observing over the last year. This is such an exciting topic that I would love to do a whole series just on Tyre and Sidon because it’s just huge. It’s really exciting, really big, but at the same time we have a lot of other videos and messages to get into this series, so I’m only going to be able to do one on Tyre and Sidon.
What I do want to say is that in an upcoming video we’re going to discuss the 10 Kings and who we can see in the end of times being the 10 Kings. It’s coming more and more clear and we’re going to share that with you.
Now that being said, in the ancient times we had physical locations of places. Mainly we are discussing in the video today, Tyre and Sidon, but we are also going to discuss the Spiritual or Prophetic fulfillment in the end of days.
In the end of days Empires would rise and fall and they would attempt to rise again and form the Kingdoms of the 10 Kings. One of those is Sidon. Sidon is in southern Lebanon. Lebanon has no global influence obviously. It’s being attacked. It’s being invaded so it actually is something else, and it is Britain.
The UK was that global empire that the sun didn’t set on. The ancient Tyre we’re going to see in the presentation used to be an Island. That’s why it talks about an island, and that island has a Prophetic fulfillment in the end of days of not Lebanon, but the UK. Maybe we probably should do a whole video on just that. We may have to but anyway, we said a year ago this is going to be Tyre and Sidon and it’s going to expand because there’s a progression of the war.
We mentioned the progression of the war throughout the videos. In Amos chapter 1 the progression of war of Armageddon is clearly detailed in there, and it starts with Gaza. Gaza is in there. It goes from Gaza and it will go to what appears to be Jordan. Then after Jordan it goes to Tyre and Sidon. After Tyre and Sidon it goes to Jerusalem in Israel.
So what does this tell us? We are one year into this prophecy and we have explained many times that yes:
- there’s a Global Armageddon of the kings of the whole world,
- and there’s a Local Armageddon which is Har Megiddo, the mountain of Megiddo in the valley of Jezreel, as we keep saying in these videos.
Now, this is a schedule. And what we want to do, in fact we’ll take a moment right now and explain to you once again those of you that are new or you kind of stopped listening to me and you forgot everything, we’ll do a review again. As I always say, Please go back and watch the previous video, but you never do. You never listen, so we have to do some quick recap on the 7 Trumpets, 7 Bowels, and to show you when Armageddon began, it happened on a schedule.
Here’s our graphic representation of the Tribulation.
It started on September 22nd, 2017, with the Sign of the Woman Clothed with the Sun and at which point we will have 7 Trumpets and 7 Bowls. Obviously in this time we would have the Mark of the Beast, because the 1st Bowl that’s poured out is the result of the Mark of the Beast. As we progress, we go to the 6th Bowl which is Armageddon, when He gathered them into a place in the Hebrew called Armageddon and what happened is the Frogs.
- The Frogs relates to the ancient plague that was in Egypt ,but Frogs are Aliens. The Frogs and Aliens, Grey Aliens, gather the kingdoms of the earth to the great day the battle of the Lord.
How this works is it works on a schedule. Some of these are precise dates and some of them are not.
The color here you see it’s yellow and black. Black basically means that the Feast of Tabernacles will be here (beginning of black segment) and the Feast of Passover will be here (end of black segment) so that each one of these is more or less represented by a six month period.
This is what we’re saying is that at this 6th Bowl when it was released, it was released on October 7th {2023} which was a few days after the Feast of Tabernacles, exactly on this schedule. Other things have been on this schedule.
For example the Mark of the Beast would have to be in effect by Passover 2021, and of course it was. There are many other things like this, but we just wanted to do a quick review in case we have new people and they don’t know about this.
In the center you can see every six months there is an Eclipse that confirms each one of these.
For example the Locust Army, which is Coronavirus, that’s the Locusts which again started in Tabernacles. It really started in Tabernacles in the year 2019, and then goes full effect into the whole world in that six month period. I have lots of other videos on this so I am not spending a lot of time on this.
Let’s go into our notes for Tyre and Sidon. Here are our notes {notes at the top of this blog post}.
As you can see Tyre and Sidon are in southern Lebanon. As we look at our map here you can see that Tyre is the southern city on the coast. This is the ancient Tyre. We’re going to talk about it with a little history lesson. Above that is a city called Sidon. You can see both. The yellow here is the boundary of the state of Israel. Over here is the Golan Heights. This is the famous mount Hermon. You can see this is Phoenicia which is in the modern country of Lebanon. Over here you have Damascus and Syria.
- What we’re pointing out is that the war that’s happening with Hezbollah is related to these cities.
Armageddon is here, so this is Armageddon. We are watching Armageddon and what we’re going to do is we’re going to look at the Scriptures that relate to these ancient cities, Tyre and Sidon, because we’ll see that Tyre and Sidon is a part of Armageddon. We’re going to many places and the prophets to see this.
Here you can see Nazareth. This is the sea of Galilee and this is Capernaum. We’re going to look at Capernaum here as well.
Our quick introduction here is actually just some basic information on Tyre and Sidon. We’re going to look at what we believe is Christ’s prophecy of Armageddon as it relates to the judgment of Tyre and Sidon. What we hope to do is provide you with all these notes. You can read them and you can study them in greater detail.
There are actually 2 Judgments that happen on Tyre that are very interesting.
- One of them is Nebuchadnezzar. Nebuchadnezzar is prophesied in Ezekiel as taking Tyre and when he did, he took a part of Tyre that was on the mainland if you were, and it was destroyed.
- Then what happened is in time the Phoenicians rebuilt Tyre on an Island Fortress that was captured by Alexander the Great. That Tyre is an Island and what we’re calling that here is the Tyre as it relates to Alexander the Great.
For time sake, we don’t have the time to explain this, but you really should look it up as it is amazing what happened. It is one of the epic ancient wars because this Island was removed from the mainland and you can see here it says Alexander’s dam.
When old Tyre was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, Alexander the Great took the destroyed buildings and stones and basically built out a road of 700 to 800 meters. That’s almost a kilometer and he built that out and took the siege of Tyre. I encourage you to check it out.
Now in modern times this is what it looks like.
This is the old Island Fortress right here. You can see where it used to be an Island and overtime sediment built up from the Mediterranean Sea over that dam that Alexander the Great built, and it became attached to the mainland where before they were separated. This is Tyre and that’s going to deal with fascinating things when we look at Tyre as a type of the UK. UK is an island. That’s a bit of history on Tyre.
We’ll find that quite often the two cities, Tyre and Sidon, are linked and described together.
Now we mentioned in the intro that we are entering the Next phase of Armageddon so that there is a sequence in Amos and:
- it starts with Gaza in Amos chapter 1.
- Then it goes on to Tyre in verse 9.
- Then Jerusalem is surrounded by armies in chapter 2.
Even Amos deals with the prophecy of the red heifers which Hamas said is the reason they started the war.
Remember this is all about the Borders of the Promised Land. When Amos chapter 1 is talking about Tyre in the King James it will say Tyrus, but really it’s Tyre and in Hebrew it’s Tsor. You’ll see that it’s the same word essentially.
Amos 1:9 for this judgment on Tyre says, for three transgressions Tyrus I will not turn away my punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole captivity of Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant. Verse 10, but I will send fire on the wall of Tyre, or Tyrus, which shall devour the palaces.
That started with Israel’s conflict with Hezbollah and the border war, and now it’s extended into the palaces, extended into the buildings in Beirut and it’s the whole country.
Recall that Armageddon is called the Valley of Jehoshaphat. In Joel 3 verse 4 it says, what have you to do with me O Tyre and Sidon and all the coasts of Palestine?
We have to remember that ethnically Hezbollah is a movement of the Palestinian Liberation Organization or the PLO. The reason many of the Christians in Lebanon don’t really support the cause is because they’re just Lebanese, but there were so many displaced Palestinians that moved into southern Lebanon that that is actually who ethnically Hezbollah is to this day.
Now we also see in Zechariah 9 when it talks about Armageddon it talks about the Borders. Zechariah 9 verse 1, all the tribes of Israel shall be towards Yahweh. Verse 2, and Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus and Sidon.
We’re going to show you exactly where Hamath is, and Tyre and Sidon. These are actual places within the Promised Land.
Now that’s what’s going on, whether we like it or not, is we’re watching prophecy be fulfilled. It doesn’t matter if the people are nice or not, His words are coming to pass, prophecy is coming to pass. You can see that all the way back with Moses and Deuteronomy, Lebanon is part of the Promised Land.
Deuteronomy 1:7, take your journey, go to the mount of Amorites, …and by the sea, to the land of the Canaanites and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, even the river Euphrates. Deuteronomy 11:24, every place where the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.
We can see in Joshua when he begins to conquer these places are there. Joshua 19:35 (ABP), and the walled cities of the Tyrians, Tyre, and Hamath, and Kinneret, or the sea of Galilee. That is part of Naftali, the tribe of Naftali.
In Genesis 49:13, Zebulon shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be a haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon, or Sidon.
Actually Joshua 13 as well, verse 4, beside the Sidonians to the borders of the Amorites. Verse 5, and the land of Lebanon…unto the entering into Hamath.
In this map what we’re doing is we’re showing exactly the Boundaries of the Promised Land.
Here’s the sea of Galilee and this line here between Ephraim and Manasseh is very close to the modern state of Israel, their border here. Then it goes up and it goes around into the Golan Heights so really above this boundary there are 4 more Tribes remaining that will be part of the Promised Land in the Millennium.
What you’re looking at here are the order of the Tribes outlined in Ezekiel chapters 47 and 48. You can look it up and you can read it yourself.
Levi here is not one of these but basically they’re around the Temple. This is Jerusalem and this is the Temple right here. Then you have the Tribes north of it so presently the Tribe of Manasseh may be included in this present war. It may be included or it could include all the way up to Dan.
When we saw Hamath, Hamath is Hama Syria which is right here. Eventually that is where it’s going to go, but we don’t know to what extent Armageddon will include these Tribes, but it is going to expand because it has already expanded into the West Bank and into the Gaza Strip which is here.
This has been included in the modern state of Israel, and eventually Christ is going to rule in Jerusalem and He’s going to have all of these Boundaries from Hamath down into the Negev desert here.
Does the US partition Tyre? There are very interesting things that we’re finding in our study when we look at the Septuagint. What we’re doing is including passages where we look up Tyre in the Greek Old Testament and we find something interesting.
In Micah chapter 7 verse 12 the King James says, in that day also he shall come unto thee from Assyria, which is the United States, and from the fortified cities and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain.
- We know Assyria is the United States, but here the Septuagint indicates Tyre in the partitioning by the United States.
It reads like this in the Septuagint {Micah 7:12}, and your cities shall come unto leveling and into partition by the Assyrians, by the Americans, and you’re fortified cities for partitioning from Tyre unto the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
- The partitioning of Tyre means that the United States is involved in having the modern state of Israel take the city of Tyre in southern Lebanon. That’s why they are in support of this war. That’s what we’re reading here.
We see this in Ezekiel 48 in the dividing of the Promised Land, and by Christ in Luke 12:51, suppose you that I am come to bring peace on earth? Nay but rather division.
- This word division and partition that Christ uses as division, He’s talking about the division of the Promised Land. Diamerismos is the Greek word that we see in Luke 12 and this same word is used in Micah chapter 7, so really it’s the Lord Jesus Christ is dividing the land and including it in the territories that He will reign in in the Millennium.
Let’s look at Zechariah. We looked at it before but let’s look at it again concerning the Borders, concerning the word of the Lord against his sacrifice for Damascus. Zechariah 9:1 (ABP), the Lord inspects men, and all the tribes of Israel; Verse 2, and Hamath among her limits, Tyre and Sidon for they thought exceedingly. Verse 3, and Tyre built a fortress to herself, and treasured up silver as dust, and gathered gold as mud of streets. Verse 4, on account of this Lord will inherit her.
The Lord will inherit Tyre and Sidon and all the way to Hamath. This is what it says. I’m just reading the Bible. It continues….
Zechariah 10: (ABP), I will take them in; and into the land of Gilead, and into Lebanon I will bring them; and in no way shall there be left behind of them not even one.
- That means that the Tribes will go in to possess these lands. They will all be there and they will inherit. That was Zechariah 9 and Zechariah 10.
Zechariah 11:1 (ABP), open wide O Lebanon, your doors, and let fire devour your cedars, the famous cedars of Lebanon. Verse 2, let the pine shriek because the cedar has fallen.
So Tyre and Sidon even up to Hamath is going to be in the Promised Land. We’re going to see in the prophecy of Zarephath that that may include all the way to Hamath or that may include Tyre and Sidon. We’ll look and see what happens with this war.
Now Tyre and Sidon is a type of the UK. When we get into our video on the 10 kings we’ll see that Lebanon is not one of the 10 kings, but the UK is. There was the British Empire. We’ll see that there are 7 Daughters of Famous Nations in Ezekiel 32. These are 7 of the 10 kings. We also see Tarshish as Britain in Ezekiel 38 with the young lions.
In the map that we showed you the Galilee region has within it Megiddo or Armageddon. That’s why the conflict in southern Lebanon is where He’s gathering them to the place in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. That is the place of the battle. There is a physical place, and we want to mention that we believe that Christ prophesied of this as it relates to the destruction of ancient Tyre and Sidon. Notice that Jesus was from Nazareth, Jesus of Nazareth. That’s very close to the area of Armageddon.
In Luke 10 He sends His 70 disciples into the cities and He begins to pronounce judgments on these cities that they were to go to. When He goes to pronounce those judgments, He makes reference to Tyre and Sidon.
What’s happening is He is pronouncing things in Capernaum. He’s pronouncing things of the places where He was from, He’s from Nazareth.
It’s in these regions, Capernaum, Nazareth, and He’s pronouncing judgments, Apocalyptic judgments in this area. Why? Because that’s the exact area of Armageddon and He references it. He says it will be more tolerable for you in Capernaum than Tyre and Sidon, so that this would be the area and region of the conflict of Armageddon. Hopefully that makes sense.
Let’s read exactly what He says in Luke 10.
Luke 10:12, it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city. Verse 13, woe to you Chorazin! woe to you Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. Verse 14, but it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you. Verse 15, and you Capernaum which are exalted to heaven, shall be thrust down to hell.
What we can see here is something of what He’s really doing. He’s talking about these cities but He’s talking about something deeper and He’s talking about this area and this region, because within this prophecy He says, verse 18, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
- The judgment of Tyre and Sidon relates to Satan falling from heaven.
That’s what it says in Ezekiel chapter 28 in which we can understand, you are exalted to heaven and you shall be thrust to hell. Ezekiel 28 verses 2 and 7 showed the ruler of Tyre was raised up on high, high as the heavens. Verse 13, you were in Eden. Verse 8 says, you will be brought down to hell. They shall bring you down into the pit. Verse 18 says, I will bring you to ashes. Christ said, they would have repented in sackcloth and ashes. Ezekiel 28:18, I will bring forth a fire from the midst of you, it shall devour you, and I will bring you to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
The judgment of Tyre and Sidon that is come upon the Beast. That’s what Christ is talking about in these prophecies with Capernaum.
Tyre and Sidon and the Beast, the anointed cherub, the son of perdition. He’s talking about the great judgment day of the battle.
Revelation 19:19, and I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies. Revelation 19:20, and the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet. These both were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. Revelation 20:1, and I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. Verse 2, and he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the devil, and Satan, and bound him a 1000 years. Verse 3, and cast him into the bottomless pit.
- That is what we can see Christ prophesying as it relates to Tyre and Sidon. Fascinating.
Now we also have Zarephath and a prophecy of Zarephath. We’re making mention of this because this is in Obadiah. What we can see is that in this prophecy of Obadiah that the state of Israel will begin these military campaigns in specific regions. They would be absorbed into the state of Israel.
Now in this map right here which you can see, Benjamin Netanyahu presented this map in the United Nations in September 2023, just a few a week or two just before October 7th.
He already knew October 7th was happening because in this map it absorbs the Gaza Strip. The blue is the state of Israel. There’s no West Bank. In fact there is no southern Lebanon. This is Lebanon. Lebanon here is going north of Beirut. That’s what he has in his map. We’ll see what happens but he told us that he was going to take over the land.
In that map we could see that Netanyahu told the world he’s going to do this. He’s going to do this war and what we can see is that this war began in the Gaza Strip. In Obadiah we’ll see that it takes the West Bank, it takes southern Lebanon and they are absorbed into the state of Israel exactly as this map shows, thus foreshadowing the upcoming wars with additional territories.
This can be seen in Obadiah. There’s only one chapter verses 19 and 20, they of the plain the Philistines. That plain of the Philistines we believe is the Gaza Strip. And they shall possess the fields of Samaria. That’s the West Bank. And Gilead. That’s the Golan Heights. And Zarephath which is close to Sidon and this is southern Lebanon.
- Are these are the lands added to Israel in Armageddon? That’s the question. That’s what we’re watching so that something like this is what we’re witnessing now.
Let’s take a look at Obadiah and read it in these passages. Verse 19, and they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the plain the Philistines, Gaza, and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria, Ephraim and Samaria is the West Bank, and Benjamin shall possess Gilead. Verse 20, and the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
- Ephratah it says in the Septuagint, and Ephratah is very significant as it relates to David. David was from Ephratah.
What have we learned? We have learned that Tyre and Sidon and the war in southern Lebanon is very significant as it relates to Armageddon. You will see that we talked about Tyre and Sidon a long time ago. As soon as this war broke out we said this is the war for the Promised Land. We showed you this map and we explained that there will be a sequence and we were just waiting for Tyre and Sidon. That’s what this study is.
What I hope to do is take the presentation and share it with you so that you could read it. There’s a lot here. There’s a lot more that we didn’t cover in the video and we do have more. We really encourage you to go back to our series on Armageddon, in particular about the Promised Land and about the Tribes and how the Lord Jesus Christ will reign in Jerusalem over these Tribes in the Millennium. To what extent are those absorbed into the modern state of Israel remains to be seen. We are watching.
The 7th angel poured out his vial into the air and there came a voice out of the throne and from the temple saying, it is done!
