What occurred in the "six days" leading up to YAHSHUA'S crucifixion? And, what do these events prophesy unto us today? 

Please read the chapters from which each of these verses originated. 

Exod 16:26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none. (KJV) 

Exod 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: (KJV) 

Exod 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. (KJV) 

Exod 23:12 Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed. (KJV) 

Exod 24:16 And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. (KJV) 

Exod 31:15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. (KJV) 

Exod 31:17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. (KJV) 

Exod 34:21 Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest. (KJV) 

Exod 35:2 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death. (KJV) 

Lev 23:3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings. (KJV) 

Deut 5:13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: (KJV) 

Deut 16:8 Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work therein. (KJV) 

Josh 6:3 And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days. (KJV) 

Josh 6:14  And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days. (KJV) 

Matt 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,  (KJV) 

Mark 9:2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. (KJV) 

Luke 13:14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. (KJV) 

John 12:1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. (KJV) 

In the big picture, we can see that there are 6 days before the 7th day, a day of rest. 
This earth age is 14 days long. That is to say that a day with the LORD is as a 1000 years, therefore there shall be 14,000 years before The Eternity begins. 
YAHSHUA'S start, for this flesh age, began on the 8th day with 'the man Adam'. For through this lineage, this one family, would come YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST, who would become the One True and Fit Sacrifice for all times. 
There was 4,000 years (4 days) Before YAHSHUA was born in the flesh. And, there has been 2,000 years (2 days) since then. 
That is a total of 6,000 years (6 days) before The LORD'S DAY, the millennium, The day of rest. 

Let's go to John 12 and look for the significance of the 6 days and of the 2 days before YAHSHUA'S crucifixion and HIS overcoming death at HIS Resurrection. 

John 12:1-50 
1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. 

The name "Lazarus" means 'whom GOD helps'. 
The name of the town "Bethany" means 'house of dates' or 'house of misery'. 
A healthy person is not in need of a physician, but those in the 'house of misery' do have need to be healed. 
Lazarus was actually (physically) raised from the dead by the power of YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST. 
But, let us look at the resurrection of the dead in the spiritual sense. 

The world is in the 'house of misery' because of the 'prince of the air', Satan. 
But, YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST, our SAVIOR, can raise an individual from the dead (grave, hell, death), healing the individual, and giving him 'life', which can only come through YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST. 

2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. 

Now, let's look at the words "a supper". 
When does one partake of "supper"? 
It is the meal that is partaken of in the evening, just before darkness comes. 
Have you prepared, made ready, YHVH'S Word, the true nourishment? 
And, should we then partake of YHVH'S Word before the total darkness comes upon this age? 

YAHSHUA'S hour of Darkness was forth coming. And, here we see that "they" (those in that household) had prepared a place for Our SAVIOR at their table. Their desire was to 'serve' HIM, as "Martha served" HIM. 
Are you ready to serve YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST? 
Have you been raised from the dead as Lazarus (spiritually speaking)? And, sitting at the table with HIM? 

3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. 

Let us now look at this word "feet". 
What do feet do? 
"Feet" are used to allow a body to stand. They also move a body forward. 
Soon, at HIS crucifixion, YAHSHUA'S feet would be nailed to the wood of the cross. 
This 'nailing of HIS feet' is significant of Satan's attempt (utilizing the government which was over Jerusalem) to stop the forward momentum and stand of CHRIST. But, Satan only succeeded in martyring HIM, for YAHSHUA defeated Death. 
The True WORD (YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST) can not be halted from going forth. 
So, Mary, the sister to Martha and Lazarus, "anointed the feet of Jesus". She 'consecrated' (declared the sacredness of) the stand and the going forth of YHVH'S Truth. 
This verse makes known to us that this "pound of ointment of spikenard" was "very costly". And, through the definitions for "spikenard" we can see just how precious and costly this is. 

"spikenard" is actually two words.

(Thayer's) 

"and wiped his feet with her hair" 
Mary used the very protection which was over her head to wipe HIS feet. 
We can see this in 1st Corinthians. 

1 Cor 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 

"and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment" is to say that the spirit of that which the "spikenard" represents filled their dwelling place. 

John 12: 
4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him, 
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? 
6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein. 

What did John call Judas Iscariot? 
"This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein." 

Let's look at this word rendered "thief" in the English. 
2812 kleptes (klep'-tace); 
from 2813; a stealer (literally or figuratively): 
KJV-- thief. Compare 3027.

b) take away by theft, that is, to take away by stealth 
3027 lestes-

(Thayer's) 

Why did YAHSHUA have Judas Iscariot in HIS Government of 12 disciples? 
It was necessary to have this one who would betray CHRIST among them, because FATHER'S Plan must be accomplished. 

There are twelve tribes of Israel. And, there are twelve disciples in YAHSHUA'S Governmental number. 
Can we compare the actions of each of these disciples to that of the twelve tribes? 
Let's look at the name "Judas Iscariot". 

"Judas" 
2455 Ioudas (ee-oo-das'); 
of Hebrew origin [3063]; Judas (i.e. Jehudah), the name of ten Israelites; also of the posterity of one of them and its region: 
KJV-- Juda (-h, -s); Jude. 

The Hebrew word #3063

KJV-- cast (out), (make) confess (-ion), praise, shoot, (give) thank (-ful, -s, -sgiving). 
3027 yad (yawd);  a primitive word; a hand (the open one [indicating power, means, direction, etc.], in distinction from 3709, the closed one);

(Thayer's) 

As we can see, Judas Iscariot's first name does have reference from the tribe of Judah. 
What about his last name? 

"Iscariot" 
2469 Iskariotes (is-kar-ee-o'-tace); 
of Hebrew origin [probably 377 and 7149]; inhabitant of Kerioth; Iscariotes (i.e. Keriothite), an epithet of Judas the traitor: 
KJV-- Iscariot. 
(Strong's) 

2469 Iskariotes-

(Thayer's)

(Strong's) 

377 'iysh- 
(Hithpalel)

(Brown-Driver-Briggs') 

The Hebrew word #7149 is only found in Ezra. 
It refers to "cities". Please read these verses to be able to understand this word "cities". 

Ezra 4:10 
10 And the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Asnappar brought over, and set in the cities of Samaria, and the rest that are on this side the river, and at such a time. (KJV) 

Ezra 4:12 
12 Be it known unto the king, that the Jews which came up from thee to us are come unto Jerusalem, building the rebellious and the bad city, and have set up the walls thereof, and joined the foundations. (KJV) 

Ezra 4:13 
13 Be it known now unto the king, that, if this city be builded, and the walls set up again, then will they not pay toll, tribute, and custom, and so thou shalt endamage the revenue of the kings. (KJV) 

Ezra 4:15 
15 That search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was this city destroyed. (KJV) 

Ezra 4:16 
16 We certify the king that, if this city be builded again, and the walls thereof set up, by this means thou shalt have no portion on this side the river. (KJV) 

Ezra 4:19 
19 And I commanded, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city of old time hath made insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made therein. (KJV) 

Ezra 4:21 
21 Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not builded, until another commandment shall be given from me. (KJV) 

Are we getting the picture? Can you see the 12 tribes today? 
Who is over Jerusalem today? 
The 'good and bad figs'. 
Was Judas influenced by bad figs as he grew up? Did the Kenites, disguised as part of the tribe of Judah, educate him in such a way that he would not understand that which he was about to do until it was done? 
And, if so, is this why he was 'a thief" and the one who would "betray" CHRIST? 

[Remember, Judas did repent by giving back the 30 pieces. And, because of the manner of his death, I do feel he was murdered.] 

John 12: 
7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this. 

When YAHSHUA said, "Let her alone", it was an emphatic command. 
Then, HE gave them the reason that this good woman, Mary, had anointed HIS feet, "against the day of my burying hath she kept this". 

8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always. 

Then, YAHSHUA said, "For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always". 
Let's us not think that YAHSHUA was speaking of monetary wealth or lack thereof, but of the poor or destitute in knowledge and spirit.

John 12: 
9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead. 

Many of these people, who were called "Jews" came not to see, hear, or be healed by YAHSHUA, but to see Lazarus. 

What gets the people's attention these days? 
Is it simple, honest Truth? No. 
People are moved by extraordinary events. They seem to have need of something spectacular, something eventful or supernatural, to arouse them from their routine. 

Even in YAHSHUA'S time, these people came not to see the Healer, but to see the one healed. 

Why were some of these so-called "Jews" wanting to see Lazarus? The next 2 verses will answer this. 

10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death; 
11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus. 

Please note the use of the word "also". 
In other words, these people had already planned to "put to death" another. 
Six days before the crucifixion, they already had a plan to "put to death" YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST. 

These "chief priests", who were/are they? And, these "people of the Jews", who are they? 
Are they of misguided Judah, who had been influenced by the Kenites? Or, were/are they really Kenites who were/are disguised or mixed into the priesthood over Judah? 
Remember the definitions given for the name which Judas Iscariot had been called: "thief". 
"an embezzler, a pilferer; the name is transferred to false teachers, who do not care to instruct men, but abuse their confidence for their own gain " 

Today, we can see that Satan's children are busily trying to find ways to "put to death" the spirits/minds, and sometimes flesh,  of those who have been healed by YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST. 

Who is "death"? Satan is 'Death'. 

"But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death; Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus." 

Lazarus did bear witness to the miracle which YAHSHUA had accomplished. 
Lazarus, therefore, became a symbol unto the people, which demonstrated YAHSHUA'S awesome power. 
And, many of those people who had been under Judah's so-called priesthood's spell and control were now leaving them and coming into the Truth through YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST. 
Therefore, these "false teachers", disguised Kenites, son's of Satan, desired to destroy this symbol / witness, Lazarus. 

There is no new thing under the sun. 

How many "infallible proofs" from YHVH shall Satan's priesthood attempt to destroy or mess up? 

Acts 1:3 
3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: (KJV) 

How many miracles shall the supernatural, disguised fallen angels perform in the sight of men? 

Will you know the difference between YHVH'S servants and Satan's? 

2 Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (KJV) 

John 12: 
12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 

This date was about the 11th of Nisan. 

13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. 
14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, 
15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt. 
16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him. 

At first, the disciples did not understand why YAHSHUA would be riding in on the back of an ass's colt. 
In fact, it was not until YAHSHUA had been crucified, risen, and transformed/translated, that they recalled the scriptures which spoke of this. 
Their minds would not recall the prophesy until during the 40 days of infallible proofs. 
Now, don't overlook the last part of verse 16: "and that they had done these things unto him". 
What things? 
Let's go to Zechariah and see the prophesy. 

Zech 9:1-17 
1 The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the LORD. 
2 And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise. 
3 And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets. 
4 Behold, the Lord will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire. 
5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited. 
6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines. 
7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, shall be for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite. 
8 And I will encamp about mine house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes. 
9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. 
10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth. 
11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water. 
12 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee; 
13 When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man. 
14 And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south. 
15 The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar. 
16 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land. 
17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids. (KJV) 

What did the prophesy in Zechariah 9 say to you? 

Let's look at the words "cut off". 
Dan 9:26-27 
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. 
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.  (KJV) 

Joel 1:1-20 
1 The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel. 
2 Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers? 
3 Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation. 
4 That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten. 
5 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth. 
6 For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion. 
7 He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white. 
8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth. 
9 The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD's ministers, mourn. 
10 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth. 
11 Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished. 
12 The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men. 
13 Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God. 
14 Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD, 
15 Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come. 
16 Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God? 
17 The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered. 
18 How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate. 
19 O LORD, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field. 
20 The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.  (KJV) 

You may want to go to the Zechariah 9 side-study before continuing with John 12 (click link):

Zechariah 9

John 12: 
17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record. 

The name "Lazarus" means 'Whom GOD helps'. 
Will you be ready to testify to others about YHVH'S Truth? 
Will you bear witness for YHVH unto HIS POWER? 
Those who are 'with' YHVH shall "bare record". 

Now, remember "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass." 

YAHSHUA/YHVH'S Truth is carried to the people of the world "upon an ass", the mature servants who will not stumble (7,000 Zadok and Kings/Queens of the Ethnos) and "upon a colt the foal of an ass", the untested servants who may stumble momentarily, but quickly recover without falling [ in the manner of a colt that has never been ridden before ] (the 144,000 elect). 

18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle. 

Many other people shall know that YHVH has helped you, and they shall seek you out for HIS Truth. 

19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him. 

These "Pharisees" (so-called holy religious teachers/preachers/priests) who have attached themselves unto the 10 supernatural, disguised fallen angels, shall talk among themselves and will accuse each other of being impotent in regards to being able to keep the people under their thumbs. And, these pompous, 'holier-than-thou' types, who shall be (knowingly or unknowingly) working with Satan's government/religion, shall know that the people who had been under their thumb have gone now after YAHSHUA/YHVH'S Truth which is carried by HIS servants. 

These religious types, who shall be working with the supernatural fallen angels, shall become extremely concerned because the people shall be falling away from their God, and their teachings. 

20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast: 

"Greeks" refers to peoples other than of the tribes of Israel; those who are of the Ethnos. 

21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. 

Many of the Ethnos shall desire to know YHVH'S Truth and shall seek HIM through YHVH'S servants. 

22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. 

YHVH'S servants shall ask HIM to intercede for these Ethnos who have come seeking HIM and HIS Truth. 

23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. 

"The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified" 

Let's look at the words "should be glorified": 
1392 doxazo (dox-ad'-zo); 
from 1391; to render (or esteem) glorious (in a wide application): 
KJV-- (make) glorify (-ious), full of (have) glory, honour, magnify. 
1391 doxa (dox'-ah); 
from the base of 1380; glory (as very apparent), in a wide application (literal or figurative, objective or subjective): 
KJV-- dignity, glory (-ious), honour, praise, worship. 
1380 dokeo (dok-eh'-o); 
a prolonged form of a primary verb, doko (dok'-o) (used only in an alternate in certain tenses; compare the base of 1166) of the
same meaning; to think; by implication, to seem (truthfully or uncertainly): 
KJV-- be accounted, (of own) please (-ure), be of reputation, seem (good), suppose, think, trow. 
(Strong's) 

1392 doxazo- 
1) to think, to suppose, to be of opinion 
2) to praise, to extol, to magnify, to celebrate 
3) to honor, to do honor to, to hold in honor 
4) to make glorious, to adorn with lustre, to clothe with splendor

a) I think, judge: thus in question 
b) it seems good to, it pleased me, I determined 
(Thayer's) 

The time has come, in the midst of the final hour, that YAHSHUA shall be known gloriously. A time that HE (HIS TRUTH, GRACE, AND SALVATION) shall be made known unto the world. 
How will this occur? This shall be answered later in this study. 

What has need to happen before YAHSHUA returns? 

Dan 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. (KJV) 

Who is this "he" in Daniel 9:27? 
Satan, the spurious 'Jesus/God'. 

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 

YAHSHUA was predestined to become and did become our One Fit Sacrifice for all times. 
And, through HIS flesh death/sacrifice, all are given the opportunity to overcome. 

25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 

This flesh is not our home. But, those who desire nothing more than this flesh life shall receive just what they ask for...'nothing more'. 
Flesh is perishable. It falls to death. And, death is Satan's name. 
Yet, those who "hateth his life in this world", who hate the flesh and all that evil flesh men do, these shall have life Eternal with our FATHER. 

26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. 

"If any man serve me, let him follow me" 
AMEN! 
"where I am, there shall also my servant be" 
AMEN! 
"if any man serve me, him will my Father honour." 
AMEN! 
Thank YOU, FATHER.

Now, before we continue, let's look at that which we have covered so far in the light of prophesy in our time.

At the time of the 10 (plus) supernatural disguised fallen angels arrival, they shall set up the spurious 'Jesus/God's' government/religion.

As we saw in Zechariah 8, there shall be "ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations".

Zech 8:20-23
20 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
21 And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also.
22 Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.
23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.

What shall these 10 supernatural, disguised fallen angels be teaching?
Who shall they lead?
They shall lead all the world to seek the Lord, His Word.
Why?
To prepare the way.
But, whose way are these preparing the people to follow?
It is their Lord, Satan, the spurious 'Jesus/God/Lord'.
How do they do this leading?
They shall lead by utilizing YHVH'S HOLY WORD to their benefit and according to their (hidden) agenda.
Will they teach YHVH'S Truth?
Mostly, it shall be YHVH'S Truth, but it shall be bent, twisted, ever so slightly. That which they will teach shall appear to be so truth-filled that if YHVH had not shortened the time, even the very elect, if it was possible, would be deceived. Is it possible?
No, for once YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT is upon YHVH'S servant, the servant's freewill is silenced, and YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT shall be HE Who shall be in control of the individual vessel/servant.

Matt 24:24
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (KJV)

The Truth is the truth.
But, the biggest thing in that last hour shall be that most of the world does not know the difference in YHVH, the Creator of all true life.... and Satan, Death, the son of perdition.

YHVH IS LIFE....Satan is Death.

Ok, now when Lazarus was raised from the grave, we know that it was YHVH, HIS Word, through YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST, which raised Lazarus from the grave.

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. (KJV)

Spiritually speaking, many shall be brought out of their graves, awakened from spiritual death, by The Truth of YHVH'S Word.
But, how many shall stay alive?
Remember, this shall be before Satan, the spurious 'Jesus' is standing in Jerusalem.

The start of the final 'hour' shall be a time of teaching all the world.
And, these spurious supernatural priests/prophets shall be those who shall be over this government/religious teaching.

In YAHSHUA'S Time, who were the ones over the Sanhedrin? Who were the priests that had control over the people?
Were they teaching YHVH'S Word?
Yes, but it was bent, mixed, or perverted by the traditions of man and Kenites (son's of Cain, the son of Satan).

There is no new thing under the sun. That which has been shall be again.

Can you see these things? Are you getting the picture?

Now, during the time of teaching (in that hour) there shall be great miracles shown in the sight of the people.
First, the vehicles that these supernaturals arrive within....shall the world see them? Or will the world see the great clouds which may conceal them until they have landed?
Either way, it shall be an awesome sight...a spectacular event...just the sort of event it takes today to grab people's attention.

Shall these supernaturals make it appear that people are coming out of their graves?
Possibly. And, again, an illusion that is dramatic which shall grab the people's attention.

People are so blasé, so unaffected by events today because they have been bombarded with too much that would have been exciting stuff 30 years ago. Most are apathetic, indifferent, as long as they are unaffected by that which is happening in the world. So, it takes exciting, supernatural events to grab the people's attention, and these supernatural entities shall provide these things.

What happens to the governments which are presently in place in each country of the world today?
Will they be replaced by Satan's 'one world' government?
Well, yes and no.
At the start, these supernatural entities which come before Satan shall have power over the religions all over the world.
But, likened unto the Roman government (which remained in place), the governments of the world will still handle their political agendas, but shall give into the desires of the people who are being led by these supernatural entities.
These ten supernaturals shall govern over the religious laws such as did the Sanhedrin.

The government in Jerusalem shall first receive their 'deadly wound', and then shall be healed in order to facilitate these supernatural entities. So, the government in Israel shall go from being the 'good and bad figs' into being of 'Satan's government/kingdom', although it shall not be known to most of the world as such.

Now, we must remember that some of the governments of the world do not believe upon nor know 'God'.
Some have chosen atheism.
How will they respond to these supernaturals?
Will they play along so that they may 'inherit the earth' after everyone else has flown to Heaven?
We know that Heaven is not some far away place, but is of a different dimension. And, the LORD'S DAY and then the ETERNITY shall come upon the earth. But, most of the world does not have understanding of this.
There is probably a third of the people living today who do not care for Satan or YHVH. These do not want anything to do with any religion. These people simply want to get as much wealth and power that they can for as long as they are alive.

Now, let's go back to John 12, and the events which are history and prophesy.

This began 6 days before YAHSHUA was crucified. (You can look at these as days or as periods of time prophetically).
Ok, first we are sitting at YAHSHUA'S Table, where we have been fed YHVH'S Truth which has been prepared by other of HIS servants. Some of us were as Lazarus, spiritually speaking, brought out of the grave, made alive by The Word, YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST.
Then, as we have The Word, YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST, sealed in our minds, our 'feet' are anointed and we carry forth YHVH'S Truth. (Note that our heads have not yet been anointed.)
At this same time, Satan's 'ten toes' of the 'feet' of his governmental/religious 'one world' beast having man  (miry clay: man who has been moistened with some Truth) clinging to and carrying forth Satan's government/religion.
But, there shall be some who had been eating at YAHSHUA'S Table who shall become as thieves (likened unto Judas Iscariot), and shall attempt to use HIS precious Word for their own advantage, and not for the purpose of helping those who are under the deception.
Some may even try to keep a foothold in both camps. But, these shall not profit by their acts of spiritual theft.
Why will our feet be anointed at that time? So that we may carry forth YAHSHUA'S Truth before he is completely crucified in the minds of the people, and before the daily oblation is made unto the fake 'Jesus'.

Now, as we looked at earlier (in this part of the study) many of these who call themselves 'Jews' who have been brought into Satan's government/religion by these 10 supernaturals (after their deadly wound is healed), shall be looking over YHVH'S servants, not just to witness, but to scrutinize YHVH'S servants' teachings, and to see how many others are awakened by YHVH'S Truth, and begin following YHVH and HIS
sent ones.
And, these so-called 'Jews' will try to find a way to destroy the credibility of YHVH'S servants. In other words, to stop HIS servants from bringing forth the Truth. Also, they shall try to shake those who have just come out of their spiritual graves.
What did FATHER tell us to do during this time?

Luke 12:58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

This shall be a time when we shall have need to be on our best and most cautious behavior.
We must continue to follow the laws of the land, without denying YHVH.
Will you be ready to be scrutinized closely? Do you have the wisdom from our FATHER to do as HE has instructed us?
YHVH'S servants/YAHSHUA'S friends shall be teaching quietly and privately, but while in the public's view ("as thou art in the way") at this particular point in the sequence, they shall have need to be cautious.

What does John 12 tells us next?
If you have studied the Zechariah 9 study, then you shall know about "Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt. "
Are you sure footed? Will you carry forth The Word, YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST'S Word?
Will your feet have been anointed so that you can stand back up if you stumble momentarily?

John 12: 
27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. 

YAHSHUA knew HIS purpose, for HE is Our FATHER Who had come in the flesh. 
So, why does HE ask and say this? 
HE does this for our sakes. 

FATHER'S servants shall be those who shall carry forth YAHSHUA through HIS Word. 
"Now is my soul troubled" is a complete statement. (The use of the semicolon shows that "and what shall I say?" is a completely different sentence. 

The "Now" refers to 'presently', and being after the events which preceded this verse. 
Let's read this as it was intended. 

"Presently, in the light of all that has occurred to this point (in this final hour), my emotions (heart/soul) are stirred up, anxious, and excited. 
Should I ask FATHER, YHVH, to keep me from going through that which I have been purposed and made ready to do in this last hour?" 

FATHER'S servants are anxiously awaiting the time when they can serve our FATHER in the completion of HIS Plan for this flesh dispensation. We have been training for this for a long time, and we would not desire that HE keep us from it. 

28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. 

FATHER'S Name is glorified. And, HIS Name shall be rendered illustrious and be made know to the whole world. 

29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. 

And, the people who will be first hand witnesses to YHVH'S servants receiving the words to say, and speaking the Words HE gives them, some shall perceive YHVH'S Voice as thunder while some may understand that it was a message or messenger from YHVH. 

30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. 

YHVH'S voice shall come not for the sake of those servants who are carrying YHVH'S Truth forward (for they have HIS Truth in their minds already), but for the sake of all who may bare witness to these events. It is for YHVH'S children who have not yet heard HIS Glorious Word of Truth, and for those who have yet to make their decision as to whom to follow. 

31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. 

At a specific time Satan, "the prince of this world", shall be cast out upon the earth. 
This time of "judgment" refers to separating the people accordingly. 

2920 krisis (kree'-sis); 
decision (subjectively or objectively, for or against); by extension, a tribunal; by implication, justice (especially, divine law): 
KJV-- accustion, condemnation, damnation, judgment. 
(STRONG'S) 
2920 krisis- 
1) a separating, a sundering, a separation; 
a trial, a contest 
2) selection 
3) judgment 
a) opinion or decision given concerning anything 
especially concerning justice and injustice, right or wrong 
b) sentence of condemnation, damnatory judgment, condemnation and punishment 
4) the college of judges (a tribunal of seven men in the several cities of Palestine; as distinguished from the Sanhedrin, which
had its seat at Jerusalem) 
5) right, justice 
(THAYER'S) 

32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. 

YAHSHUA was elevated above all, and HIS NAME and Word shall be again lifted up in the sight of man, which shall draw all to HIM, one way or another. 

33 This he said, signifying what death he should die. 

But, this also has another meaning. 
YAHSHUA referred to the manner of the crucifixion, whereby HE would be lifted higher than the crowd, nailed to the cross. 

And, in our time HIS NAME AND WORD must be lifted up in the sight of all men, so that they can know the difference between the True SAVIOR and the spurious one who shall arrive. 
And, when Satan arrives, disguised as 'Jesus/God', it shall be as if HE, YAHSHUA, was crucified again. For many of the people shall follow the fake instead of waiting for YAHSHUA'S Return. 

34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? 

We know the "Son of man", as spoken in the New Testament, is / was YAHSHUA...YHVH in the flesh. 
But, these people understood not. 
They did not understand that in order for HIM to be glorified, that HE must defeat (overcome) death. 

YHVH'S servants through HIS HOLY SPIRIT, in the final hour, shall also be overcoming Death, Satan. And, this shall be in the site of all men. 

All men must be allowed to see and hear YHVH'S Truth, and to hear and see the deception and lies from the spurious one, and then make their own freewill choice. 

YHVH'S servants, who shall carry forth HIS HOLY WORD, shall not be physically harmed. 
But, Death (Satan, spiritually speaking) must appear to overtake YHVH'S servants before YHVH'S Truth can raise up, and in doing so, defeat Death. 

35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. 

This is just before the Truth is crucified by Satan's arrival. 
"Yet a little while is the light with you" 
"Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you" 
"or he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth" 

Got your lamps filled with the oil of YHVH'S Truth? 

36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them. 

While the LIGHT OF YHVH'S Truth is being openly given by HIS servants, learn of YAHSHUA, believe upon HIM, get HIM and HIS Word set in your minds, so that you may be able to continue as a child of YHVH'S Light. 

Many shall turn away from the LIGHT OF YHVH'S TRUTH, and go unto the king of darkness when he arrives. 
Why? Because they had not filled the reservoirs of their minds with the oil of HIS Truth. 

Matt 25:1-12 
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. (KJV) 

"These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them." 
Shall FATHER conceal HIS servants when it is necessary? 
Yes, they shall be protected. 

John 12: 
37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: 

Our lives are filled with miracles that FATHER has brought about. 
But, the people of the world, if they take notice of these things at all, call it "luck", "fate", or refer to it as being accidental and coincidence. 

YAHSHUA had YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT upon HIM when HE did the supernatural healings and other miracles in the sight of the people. 
But, even in the light of these events, the people believed not upon HIM as their SAVIOR. 
Why did these not believe, and why will much of the world continue to not believe. 
For many, it shall be for their protection at that time. 

Let's look to see that which Isaiah said. ("Esaias" is Isaiah) 

38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? 

Who has YHVH'S Truth been revealed unto? 
Those HE has given spiritual 'eyes to see' and 'ears to hear'. 

39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, 
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. 

FATHER is protecting many by keeping them innocent of HIS Truth. For with innocence, there is no sin. 
Why? Because many who love Our LORD, JESUS CHRIST, have not been prepared with the truth, and have been led astray by false teachings. 
Therefore, these have not had the opportunity to be strengthened by HIS Truth over a long period of time, and would not be strong enough to stand against Satan's government or Satan, himself. 
These can not be held responsible, because FATHER has removed their ability to spiritual see and hear until such time that HE heals them (spiritually, through HIS HOLY SPIRIT). 

Do these that FATHER "hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart" to keep them innocent, have freewill? 
No, their will is not free at that time. 
FATHER has need for some to play the negative roles. 
YHVH'S servants must be delivered, "Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death." (Mark 13:12) 

Why do these family members deliver YHVH'S servants up to the councils? 
They will think that they are helping them, because they shall think YHVH'S servants are wrong in that which they teach and know/believe. 
But, FATHER shall cause these loved ones to deliver HIS servants for the benefit of all of YHVH'S children, so that HIS Truth can be published. 

41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. 

42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: 
43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. 

Who are these "chief rulers"? 
758 archon (ar'-khone); 
present participle of 757; a first (in rank or power): 
KJV-- chief (ruler), magistrate, prince, ruler. 
757 archo (ar'-kho); 
a primary verb; to be first (in political rank or power): 
KJV-- reign (rule) over. 

758 archon- 
a ruler, a commander, a chief, a leader 
757 archo- 
to be chief, to lead, to rule 

What? Some of the "chief rulers" will believe upon YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST, as their SAVIOR, but out of fear that they will lose their popularity with the so-called religious leaders, they will deny HIM? 
Yes. 
We see it even today. Too many politicians currying favor with the so-called clergy, just so that the clergy will lead the people to vote for them. 
Woe! You can't play both sides of the fence. 

Some "chief rulers" of the civil governments shall understand and believe, but out of fear of those who have power to persuade the people, they will not do that which is just and good. 

Let's consider Pontius Pilate. 
Pilate is a good example of the unprincipled achiever who will sacrifice what is right to accomplish his own selfish goals.
Although he recognized Jesus' innocence and had the authority to uphold justice and acquit Jesus, he gave in to the demands of the crowd rather than risk a personal setback in his career. This is a real temptation to all people who hold positions of power and authority.

John 12: 
44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. 

If one denies YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST, as their SAVIOR, that one is denying YHVH, Our FATHER. 

John 12:
45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. 

John 1:1-5 
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 
2 The same was in the beginning with God. 
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 

John 12: 
46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. 
47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 

Even during the time of the final 'hour', YAHSHUA'S Light shall shine through HIS Servants. 
HE, through HIS HOLY SPIRIT, shall still be trying to "save the world" from themselves and from Satan and the Darkness. 

48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. 
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 
50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. (KJV) 

"And I know that his commandment is life everlasting" 
"whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak" 

Mark 13:11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.  (KJV)
