… By

INTRODUCTION

The Holocaust of the Nazis was ghastly beyond imagination. But Jehovah warned a great slaughter was coming and predicted the years a massive genocide of Jews would happen. But the Jews did not listen. Just as when Jeremiah preached was going to fall the first time, the Jews did not listen. And when Jesus foretold Jerusalem would be destroyed in his generation, the Jews did not listen. Jews – Jehovah love them – don’t listen to the they hear in the synagogue every Sabbath.

THERE IS A SPIRITUAL WAR

Paul said: ‘we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly realms’ (Eph. 6 v 12)1

Hitler was a maniac. The Nazis were death-cult zombies obedient to Hitler. Jehovah knew that this was coming because He sees what we can’t see, the spiritual battle in heaven, but more than that, how the spiritual battle will evolve and from time to time overflow onto this earth in senseless violence.

TEACH US TO NUMBER OUR DAYS

Jehovah put words in the mouths of the Prophets to warn His People – of dangers coming in their own day and days into the future too. However, Jehovah had to keep His warnings in the Scripture circumspect in order not to tip off the wrong readers. Jehovah put clues in the Scripture of the secrets of prophetic interpretation. First clue: if you want to know when God’s wrath will be revealed start numbering the days:

‘You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. All our days pass away under your wrath… Teach us to number our days aright that we may gain a heart of wisdom’ (Psalm 90 v 8-12).

1 Ephesians 6 is the 174th chapter of the New Testament. The spiritual number 174 means INNOCENT DEATH. mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com

EACH YEAR EQUALS ONE VERSE / ONE CHAPTER

The original Scripture had no verse divisions or chapter divisions. It was dictated letter by letter without annotation. Where did all the verse and chapter divisions come from? scholars put them there.

Why did they do that? They did it because they were alert to a secret of interpreting prophecy: each verse (and each chapter) corresponds to a specific year of history in the past, present, or future.

We provide numerous examples of this principle at work. If the reader has doubts, we invite you to please read our other papers on Keys of the Kingdom (AD).

(Incidentally the author has discovered chapter divisions and book divisions often occur at points in history, along the time-prophecy line, when momentous events occur. As we will see is just such a time.)

THE VISION OF EZEKIEL

Second clue: In his vision Ezekiel saw wheels within wheels turning in the middle of the air. This is how the author believes Ezekiel saw his vision {minus the verse references}:

mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com

According to Ezekiel, the rim of each wheel was “full of eyes” (1 v 18), the wheels “touched the earth” (1 v 15), the wheels appeared “as it were, a wheel within a wheel” (1 v 16).2

Our interpretation is “eye” signifies a prophecy, of events that “touch the earth”. We have portrayed in our diagram one eye after another in the wheel, one prophecy after another of events on earth.

What goes around, comes around. True in wheels, true in prophecy.

There are 1189 chapters in the Bible3. This generates a Little Wheel as in our diagram on the previous page. If Genesis 1 is identified with a specific start year, then each following year is Genesis 2, and so on. After 1189 years have passed, prophecy for the next year is back to Genesis 1.

There are 5,852 verses in the Torah (Genesis to Deuteronomy); 7,018 verses in the Annals (Joshua to Ester); 4,785 verses in the Books of Wisdom (Job to Songs); 5,490 verses in the Prophets (Isaiah to Malachi); and 7,945 verses in the Gospels (Matthew to Revelation).4 In total 31,090 verses in the entire Bible.

Using a one verse equals one year technique generates a Big Wheel. It is big because it takes multiple millennia for the wheel to turn completely around through all the years.

WHERE DO WHEELS START THE COUNT?

This is the single most important question in prophecy in our age.

We have identified one legitimate start date for the wheels to be 1 AD. This corresponds to the year Jesus began to see his visions (Songs 7 v 4) (Isaiah 1 v 1).

We provide a detailed explanation of how we arrived at 1 AD in our paper Come Away My Love. We invite the reader to be persuaded this assumption is true – because the selection of the start date is all important.

EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT OUR CASE: PREDICTION OF THE HOLOCAUST

We discover when the Little Wheel comes around to World War II, in its second rotation since 1 AD, we find Jeremiah crying out for the people of to flee a coming disaster in one chapter, then speaking of a great massacre for two more chapters, then weeping over the slain of his people in the last chapter.

We will document this remarkable prediction in detail: what the prophecies say and how the genocide of Jews progressed; because the genocide was over a number of years – more than one chapter in Jeremiah.

2 His vision is akin to the solar system. Earth orbit is one wheel turning around the sun. Moon orbit is a ‘wheel within a wheel’ turning around the earth. We knew all prophecy first appeared in the stars, then later was transcribed to Scripture so it is only fitting there is a celestial rhythm in Scripture. Pictorially (not literally) the words (earth spinning), verses (moon’s orbit around earth), chapters (earth’s orbit around the sun), and books (sun’s orbit around the center of the galaxy) are all wheels within wheels. 3 This includes the Gospels. Yes, New Testament Scripture is equally prophetic as Scripture! Breathed by same God. 4 The accepted Jewish version of Scripture divides chapters and verses differently than the accepted Christian version and also includes various books not considered canon by Christians. My counting of verses in the Gospels excludes Mark 16:9-20. mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com

Buchenwald Concentration Camp

1940 AD

We use the Little Wheel of 1189 ‘eyes’ corresponding to the 1189 chapters of Scripture, and start the wheel turning at 1 AD. We ‘number the days aright’ by turning the Little Wheel one complete revolution to 1189 AD, then on its second revolution we arrive at 1940 on the 751st chapter of Scripture, which is .

PROPHECY: Jeremiah cries out:

“O you children of , gather yourselves together to flee from the midst of Jerusalem;

Blow the Shofar in Tekoa and set up a signal fire in Beth Haccerem

For disaster appears out of the North and great destruction.” (Jer. 6 v 1)

INTERPRETATION:

Benjamin is prophetic of the modern nation of . Benjamin was the only son of born in Palestine. All the other sons of Jacob were born outside Palestine, hence are prophetic of Gentile nations.

Benjamin does not appear as a word in the whole . That is because Benjamin (the modern state of Israel) could not come into being during the years 1869 (Isaiah 1) to 1934 ().

Benjamin first appears in the Prophets in Jeremiah 1, which is 1935. Jehovah is indicating a pivot in history where events must move towards the creation of the modern state of Israel. The modern state of Israel could not come into being until the first full year Adolf Hitler was absolute dictator of Germany: 1935!

The next appearance of Benjamin is Jeremiah 6 v 1 (above).

Benjamin was the son born from a dead woman. Rachel died in labor. Because of the Holocaust of the Nazis, Judaism should have been dead, eliminated from the earth. But Jehovah said the Jews must return a third time to the Holy Land.

Benjamin's mother died giving birth to him! O misery!

FULFILMENT:

According to studies of the Holocaust5, deaths of Jews at the hands of Nazis prior to 1940 were less than a 100,000. In 1940 the Nazi concentration camps began processing Jews in large numbers. 500,000 Jews died. Sound the warning!

1941 AD

1941 aligns with the 752nd chapter of the Bible: Jeremiah chapter 7.

PROPHECY: Jeremiah cries out:

“Hear the word of Jehovah, all you of Judah…” (Jer. 7 v 1)

“Cut off your hair and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on the barren heights:

for Jehovah has rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath” (Jer. 7 v 29)

“The corpses of this people will be food for the birds of the heaven

and for the beasts of the field. And no one will frighten them away.” (Jer. 7 v 33)

“Then I will cause to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem

the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness

the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride” (Jer. 7 v 34)

INTERPRETATION:

The world population of Jews was around 16 million at this time. The majority of them lived in Central Europe and Eastern Europe. Europe was de facto the ‘homeland’ of the Jews. Just as ancient Israel was divided into tribes, Europe was divided into countries, and Jews lived in all the countries. In 1941 the leading ‘tribe’ or nation of Europe was Germany.

Allegorically, Germany was the ‘Judah’ of Europe, because the ruler of ‘Israel’ – Europe - lived there. By the same logic, the ‘Jerusalem’ of Europe was Berlin, because it was the capital city of the ruler of the leading tribe. But Hitler was more than just a ruler, Hitler was a [False] Messiah figure6. Hitler was the figurative ‘Jehovah’ of whom Jeremiah is speaking: the God whom the people of ‘Judah’ – the Germans - worshipped, and the God whom the people of ‘Israel’ feared.

Jeremiah says to the Jews: the LORD of the Germans has rejected and forsaken you. He will rid the streets of Berlin of you. He will shave your heads and make you slaves. He will slaughter you with a great massacre.

5 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocides_in_history#CITEREFHilberg2003 6 Please see our paper: False Messiah: Adolf Hitler mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com

FULFILMENT: In 1941 the genocide of the Jews was enormous. 1.1 million Jews died. Jews from Central Europe were rounded up and transported by trains to concentration camps where they were divided into slave workers and those who would be gassed on the spot. In Eastern Europe Jews were also herded to rural areas, shot, then left in the open fields just as Jeremiah prophesied.

1942 AD

1942 aligns with the 753rd chapter of the Bible, .

PROPHECY: Jeremiah cries out:

"At that time' says the LORD they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah

and the bones of its princes, and the bones of its priests, and the bones of its prophets"

and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem out of their graves" (Jer. 8 v 1)

"They shall spread them before the sun and the moon. They shall not be gathered or buried;

They shall be like refuse on the face of the earth" (Jer. 8 v 2)

INTERPRETATON:

The figurative ‘LORD’ is prophetic of [False] Messiah Hitler. He will say the Jews of Germany must be punished for the [alleged] crimes of the Jews of Britain! In Hitler’s mind the ‘bones’ ‘…of Judah’ refers to Jews of a prior generation, of another nation, who spoiled the fortunes of Germany in World War I by financing the British7. The ‘graves’ of the ‘inhabitants of Jerusalem’ are Berliners - who died in World War I. Hitler will ‘spread them before the sun and the moon’ – he will resurrect past injustices perpetrated by long dead persons – and bring innocent Jews into the full light of judgment before ‘the sun’ – Germany: leader nation of Europe – and ‘the moon’ – satellite nations to Germany. ‘They will be spread like refuse on the ground’ – the consequence will be massive loss of life in gruesome fashion – for both innocent Jews and innocent Berliners!

FULFILMENT:

In 1942 the Holocaust was at its peak: 2.7 million Jews died. But by that time Allies were conducting strategic bombing of German cities. Roughly a half a million German non-combatants died this way during the war.

“the aim of the Bomber Offensive... destruction of German cities, killing of German workers, disruption of civilized life ... the creation of a refugee problem on an unprecedented scale, and the breakdown of morale”8

7 It is historic fact that Great Britain was verging on bankruptcy in 1917. On the request of the wealthy Jewish community represented by the Zionist champion and financier Walter Rothschild, Great Britain signed the Balfour Declaration: ‘His Majesty's government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object’. Immediately financing was secured and Great Britain was able to continue the war effort. It is not known if these facts were clear to Hitler. But it was popular opinion in Germany the Jews sold them out. 8 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_bombing_during_World_War_II Quote from Air Marshal Harris, head of RAF Bombers mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com

1942 AD (Continued)

PROPHECY: Jeremiah cries out:

“Even the stork in the heavens knows her appointed times"

"And the turtledove, the swift, and the swallow observe the time of their coming"

"But My People do not know the judgements of the LORD" (Jer. 8 v 7)

INTERPRETATION:

The Holocaust was predicted by Jeremiah. But it was also predicted the Jews would not heed his words.

Here is an observation only Jehovah could have known when he inspired Jeremiah to prophesy.

Storks from Central Europe and Eastern Europe migrate across Palestine on annual migration!

9

The Benjamin migration of Jews was announced for the first time in the Prophets in Jeremiah 1 verse 1:

“The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah of the priest in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin”

Jeremiah 1 corresponds to 1935, the year Adolf Hitler took absolute power in Germany. This was the appointed time for Jews from Central Europe and Eastern Europe to migrate to the Promised Land. But they did not heed the words of Jeremiah.

Some Jewish scholars and priests understood the secret clue in the Ezekiel Vision and the procedure of turning wheels of Bible chapters and verses to predict events. But they included non-canonical books, mis- counted some verses, and excluded the Christian Gospels. So, they missed the appointed time.

1943 AD

1943 aligns with the 754th chapter of the Bible: Jeremiah 9.

PROPHECY: Jeremiah cries out:

“Oh, that my head were waters and my eyes a fountain of tears

that I might weep day and night for the slain daughter of my people" (Jer. 9 v 1)

INTERPRETATION:

An allusion to missed prophecy and personal loss. “Oh… my head”: what was I thinking? “my eyes”: why didn’t I see this coming? “a fountain of tears”: many lives poured out, wasted.

Also an allusion to a missed Messiah. “Oh… my head”: Jesus Christ, the eternal King of the Jews, came but we rejected him. “my eyes”: Jesus Christ, always on the lookout for the welfare of His People. “a fountain of tears”: he became the Man of Sorrows, spurned by his bride-to-be, and suffered scourging and a Cross.

Jesus is love. In spite of trials he persisted in pursuing the love of His People. In the Garden of Gethsemane he prayed “Father. Is there any other way?” The Father is justice. The rejection of Christ came at a cost. When King resisted the message of Jeremiah and rebelled against the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar, he was blinded and led away in chains. When the Jews resisted the preaching of John and rebelled against accepting Jesus as Messiah, they lost their prophetic “eyes” too, and did not see the Holocaust coming.

FULFILMENT:

By 1943 the Holocaust was slowing down: 500,000 Jews killed. All that was left to do was weep “for the slain daughter of my people.”

CONCLUSION

Four chapters of Jeremiah explicitly warn the Benjamin generation of Jews, those who lived post 1935, of the coming of a great slaughter: Jeremiah 6, , Jeremiah 8, and Jeremiah 9.

Four years of the Holocaust synchronize with the Little Wheel predicted chapters: 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943.

Details in the cries of Jeremiah indicate the timing of the greatest losses of Jewish life: 0.5 million, 1.1 million, 2.7 million, and 0.5 million respectively.

APPEAL

Dear reader, if you have not yet done so, contemplate the personal Holocaust of Jesus Christ. His death was ghastly – but not in vain. His virtuous blood was shed for the forgiveness of your sins. If you confess Jesus Christ is Messiah and believe in your heart Jehovah raised him from the dead, you are forgiven. And if you are Jewish, you are most welcome into the eternal Kingdom prepared for those who love the King of the Jews.
