God's Fishermen, Satan's Hunters (7 of 10) - Satan's End-of-the-Age Hunters and Aliyah from Europe

Hello, friends. I'm Chadwick Harvey, and this is Faithful Performance — a weekly examination of the testimony of the biblical prophets and how they perfectly correlate with the current events of today. Thank you for joining us.

In this episode we continue our book series on *God's Fishermen, Satan's Hunters: The Unspoken Biblical Prophecy That Is Terrorizing the World*. This is episode seven, and we will be covering Satan's end-of-the-age hunters and the Aliyah — the return of the Jewish people to the Promised Land — that began in Europe in 2014 and 2015 with the blood moon tetrad. We will go through that thoroughly, but first let me offer a summary of the previous six episodes for those just joining us.

**Summary of Previous Episodes**

In the first episode, we discovered God's everlasting covenants: the Abrahamic Covenant, the Davidic Covenant, and the New Covenant. The Abrahamic Covenant made two great promises — the Seed and the Promised Land. The Davidic Covenant promised a Seed from David's loins who would rule over the Promised Land, building and extending upon the Abrahamic Covenant. We know that Seed to be Jesus — Yeshua. Matthew 1 identifies him as the Seed of David and the Seed of Abraham, reverting us back to the covenants. He is also the same Seed in Genesis 3:15 who will crush the serpent's head at the end of the age when he returns. It is essential to understand how these covenants work together.

The New Covenant, established in Jeremiah 31, builds and extends upon both the Abrahamic and Davidic Covenants. It is made with the Jewish people — the children of Israel — just as those earlier covenants were. We are all saved by the blood of the New Covenant, the blood of Jesus shed at Passover, but we will not be fully living in the New Covenant until the children of Israel, as a nation, accept Yeshua as their Savior. At that point, they will be his people, he will return, and we will enter the Millennial Kingdom for a thousand years.

These covenants were made with the Jewish people, but the Gentiles are grafted in. Romans 11 shows us we are grafted into the commonwealth of Israel. Ephesians 2 tells us we were once strangers to the covenants, but now, through the blood of the Messiah, we share in the promises. Galatians 3:26–29 states that if you belong to Christ, you are Abraham's seed and an heir according to the promise of the Abrahamic Covenant. It is critical to let the New Testament revert us back to the Torah and the Prophets so we can understand these covenants correctly. I was born a Gentile, so understanding that we are grafted into these things is deeply important to me personally.

**The Prophecy of the Fishermen and the Hunters**

In episode two, we examined the central prophecy: Jeremiah 16:14–16. In summary, it declares that there will be a greater return of the Jewish people to the Promised Land — greater than the Exodus from Egypt. The Exodus involved roughly 600,000 people who left Egypt, yet this Aliyah will surpass it. We have seen that beginning in 1948, with over four million Jewish people having since made Aliyah to the Promised Land. This prophecy had not been fulfilled throughout history prior to that point, but it began in 1948 because of the everlasting covenants. This is the entire reason the Messiah is returning — God's plan of salvation for Jew and Gentile, and the restoration of the kingdom to Israel, just as stated in Acts 1. All of biblical prophecy hinges on a correct understanding of these covenants.

**Satan's Original Hunters and the Mystery of Aliyah**

In episode three, we identified God's original fishermen: the covenant people — Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, and ultimately Yeshua through the New Covenant. In episode four, we identified Satan's original hunters — those who came directly against God's fishermen — as Nimrod, Ishmael, Esau, Goliath, and the Herodian dynasty, who are descendants of Esau.

In episode five, we uncovered the mystery of the Aliyah as one of the major signs of the end of the age. We examined the celestial bodies in the sky and the "faithful witness" spoken of in Psalm 89 — the moon — and discovered how blood moons have served as signs and markers for Jewish migration. In 1492–1493, a blood moon tetrad coincided with the Spanish Inquisition and the forced migration of the Jewish people. In 1948–1950, a blood moon tetrad fell on the Lord's feast days, coinciding with the establishment of the State of Israel. In 1967–1968, another blood moon tetrad on Passover and Tabernacles — two years in a row — coincided with the Six-Day War and Israel's recapture of Jerusalem. These tetrads falling on the Lord's feast days are extremely rare; this has occurred only four times in the last 500 years. And each time, there was a migration or Aliyah driven by persecution. We left off that episode with the 2014–2015 blood moon tetrad, again on Passover and Tabernacles both years, pointing us toward what we will examine in this episode.

**God's End-of-the-Age Fishermen**

In last week's episode, we identified God's end-of-the-age fishermen: the Jewish people themselves — the Jewish Agency, the Prime Minister, and the various charitable organizations working to bring Jewish people home. These fishermen were released in 1948, and since then over four million Jewish people have made Aliyah to the Promised Land. The year 1948 is a marker on God's prophetic timeline for this prophecy and many others. The prophecy in Jeremiah states that after the fishermen are released, the hunters will follow. That brings us to the topic of this episode: Satan's end-of-the-age hunters and the Aliyah from Europe in 2014 and 2015.

**The Regions of Satan's End-of-the-Age Hunters**

God declares the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet fulfilled. As Ecclesiastes reminds us, what has been done will be done again — there is nothing new under the sun. The patterns are cyclical and will repeat. God's end-of-the-age fishermen are the elect. They may be, as a corporate nation right now, enemies of the gospel as Paul states, but they are the elect because of God's love and because of the covenants made with the fathers — Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David — as Romans 11:28–29 declares.

A key concept to grasp is that of regions. Satan's hunters are not only individuals — they are also regions. Just as God's original fishermen point us to the region of Israel and the Jewish people at the end of the age, Satan's end-of-the-age hunters will correspond to the regions of Satan's original hunters. The biblical prophets, including Jeremiah, would have understood these prophecies through the lens of the Table of Nations in Genesis 10 and 11. They would not have known of America, Russia, China, or Australia as we know them. They wrote according to the biblical world as defined by the Table of Nations — and we must read their prophecies in that same framework.

It is also essential to understand that the Holy Bible is Israel-centric — literally Israel-centric. It is not Rome-centric or America-centric. It centers on literal Israel, specifically Jerusalem, and then the surrounding nations, the ancient enemies of Israel. That is the biblical world the prophets spoke about thoroughly: the Middle East and North Africa. The New Testament is equally Israel-centric. Think of it as a bull's-eye: Israel is the center, surrounded by the neighboring nations, with the Americas, Australia, and the other nations in the outer ring. Understanding this helps us enter the prophets' mindset as they described the fishermen, the hunters, and the identity of end-of-the-age figures.

**The Battle Is for Jerusalem and the Abrahamic Covenant**

Every prophecy about the fishermen and the hunters — indeed, every biblical prophecy — ultimately concerns the Abrahamic Covenant and its fulfillment through Jesus. The children of Israel have never controlled all of the Promised Land as described in that covenant. They will when Jesus returns. He will conquer it and divide it as described in Ezekiel 40 through 48, in the context of the Millennial Kingdom. Jesus will fulfill the Abrahamic Covenant as the Seed, the Davidic Covenant through David's everlasting throne, and we will live in the New Covenant at that time because the Jewish people will accept him as their Savior, their King, their Messiah, and their God — as Ezekiel 36, Jeremiah 31, and Isaiah 59 and 60 all declare. The battle is for Jerusalem. The battle is for the Abrahamic Covenant.

So I must ask this directly: if you hold the view that the Antichrist is Roman and that the beast kingdom will be European — who actually has the issue with Jerusalem? Who has the issue with the Temple Mount? Is it the Italians? I do not believe so. I have plenty of Italian friends and they are loving people who just want to embrace you and share a meal. It is not the Italians. It is not the Romans. It is not Europe. Who truly has the conflict with Jerusalem and the Temple Mount? It is Islam. Islam corresponds to Nimrod, to Esau, to Goliath, to the Herodian dynasty. It is the Islamic nations surrounding Israel — the ancient enemies of Israel — not Rome, not Europe.
