when mankind (and/or the church) will be given
their last opportunity to repent before the
tenth day which will be Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement.
I said, Speak on, my Lord
Then answered he me, and said, The more thou searchest, the more thou shalt
marvel; for the world hasteth fast to pass away,
(1 Samuel,
chapter 25)
That typifies the final ten days.
This is the story of a man who was given the opportunity to be a part of the
coming kingdom of Israel under David; a type of the kingdom of God under
Jesus. He refuses the offer and although he does not know it, has ten days
to change his mind and repent
II Esdras 4:28-42
28 But as concerning the things whereof thou askest me,
I will tell thee; for the evil is sown, but the destruction thereof
is not yet come.
29
If therefore that which is sown be not turned upside down, and if the
place where the evil is sown pass not away, then cannot it come that is sown
with good.
30
For the grain of evil seed hath been sown in the heart of Adam from the
beginning, and how much ungodliness hath it brought up unto this time?
and how much shall it yet bring forth until the
time of threshing come?
31 Ponder now by thyself, how great fruit of wickedness
the grain of evil seed hath brought forth.
32 And when the ears shall be cut down, which are without
number, how great a floor shall they fill?
33 Then I answered and said, How, and when shall these
things come to pass? wherefore are our years few and evil?
34 And he answered me, saying, Do not thou hasten above
the most Highest: for thy haste is in vain to be above him, for thou hast
much exceeded.
35 Did not the souls also of the righteous ask question of
these things in their chambers, saying, How long shall I hope on this
fashion? when cometh the fruit of the floor of our reward?
36 And unto these things Uriel the archangel gave them
answer, and said, Even when the number of seeds is filled in you: for he
hath weighed the world in the balance.
37 By measure hath he measured the times; and by number
hath he numbered the times; and he doth not move nor stir them, until the
said measure be fulfilled.
38 Then answered I and said, O Lord that bearest rule,
even we all are full of impiety.
39 And for our sakes peradventure it is that the floors of
the righteous are not filled, because of the sins of them that dwell upon
the earth.
40 So he answered me, and said, Go thy way to a woman with
child, and ask of her when she hath fulfilled her nine months, if her womb
may keep the birth any longer within her.
41 Then said I, No, Lord, that can she not. And he said
unto me, In the grave the chambers of souls are like the womb of a woman:
42 For like as a woman that travaileth maketh haste to
escape the necessity of the travail: even so
do these places haste to deliver those things that are committed unto them.
