vancolp: Jdg 3:9-10 And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. (10) And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim.
F18
vancolp: Jdg 3:15-16 But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab. 16 But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.

F22
vancolp: Jdg 6:11-12 And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.

Jdg 11:6-8 And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.

vancolp: Jeremiah's Seventy Year Prophecy Begins 2 Ki 24:6 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead. 2 Ki 24:8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. 2 Ki 24:9 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done. 2 Ki 24:10 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
G118
vancolp: The Solomon's Temple is destroyed on the 9th of Av just weeks before the 74th Jubilee year. God’s statement is profound. If you disobey my commandments, you will pay the price. Israel would not keep the commandments of God and went into total exile in the year that was intended for “total Freedom.” 2 Kings 25:9 6 So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him. 7 And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon. 8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem: 9 And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire.

vancolp: The Dead Sea Scroll, 40 Year Prophecy Oddly enough this prophecy can be applied perfectly to both Jesus and to Jeremiah. The prophecy in the Dead Sea Scrolls Damascus Document states that 40 years after the gathering in (beginning) of the Teacher of Righteousness would come the time of destruction for the men that followed after his opponent, the man of lies. Forty years after Jeremiah, the Temple of Solomon was destroyed. Then centuries later the same pattern happened again, 40 years after Jesus, the Temple of Herod was also destroyed on the exact same day that Solomon's Temple was destroyed. The Damascus Document; Applies equally to the original Teacher of Righteousness (Jeremiah) and to Yeshua / Jesus. The statement says that "from the day of the gathering in of the unique teacher, until the destruction of all men who turned back with the man of lies, there shall be about forty years." From the Crucifixion of Jesus, forty Years passed and the destruction of the Temple of Herod came, and all of the remaining tribes Israel was dispersed. If those in Judea would have accepted a ruler ordained by God it would have been spared, but instead they chose a corrupt system and ruler.
G119
vancolp: Dan 5:1-4 "King Belshazzar gave a great banquet for a thousand of his nobles and drank wine with them. 2 While Belshazzar was drinking his wine, he gave orders to bring in the gold and silver goblets that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, so that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines might drink from them. 3 So they brought in the gold goblets that had been taken from the temple of God in Jerusalem, and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines drank from them. 4 As they drank the wine, they praised the gods of gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone."
G122
vancolp: Ezra and captives return to Jerusalem Ezra 3 6 This Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD God of Israel had given: and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God upon him. 7 And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king. 8 And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king. 9 For upon the first day of the first month began he to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.
G127
vancolp: Ezr 5:6-8 The copy of the letter which Tatnai, governor of the province Beyond the River, and Shethar-boznai, and his companions, the officials Beyond the River, sent to Darius the king: (7) They sent a letter to him, in which this was written, To Darius the king, all peace: (8) Let it be known to the king that we went into the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which is being built with great stones, and timber is being laid in the walls, and this work goes on fast and is blessed in their hands.
G128
vancolp: Rededication of the Temple Ezr 6:15-17 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king. (16) And the sons of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the sons of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy. (17) And they offered at the dedication of this house of God a hundred bulls, two hundred rams, and four hundred lambs. And for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve he-goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
