4) Isaiah's witness and Christians
In Europe also the year 1830 was turbulent and there were revolutions in 1848. Again about the year 1830 signals a new era, even in Europe.
Isaiah's three years of walking naked and barefoot spoke of servitude as a servant of God. He acted out as a servant, and obediently wandered barefoot and with no covering, where his prophets covering of sackcloth was to be put off. He was a witness of the fate of Egypt and Ethiopia. We might compare
I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.(Rev 11:3)
This is 3.5 years. Does the 3 years of Isaiah have any relevance? For the servants of Y'shua, the Christians, perhaps we could consider that from 754 when Pepin fought to give the Papacy political power marks a point of the servants being made to go 'barefoot', as from that era nothing restrained the Papacy from persecuting and making the true Christians 'go barefoot', as they did what they could to 'enslave' people or disperse them.
When were the true Christians able to emerge and speak freely without persecution? If we add the 3 years of days or 1080 years to 754 it results in the year 1834. In 1834 revolts began in Piedmont. Though suppressed, this movement for an Italian republic would finally remove Papacy from temporal rule. In July 1834 the Spanish Inquisition is ended by Royal decree. To underline the point of the end of Ethiopian oppression, the Christian effort against the slave trade, results in slavery being abolished in the British Empire in August 1834. This marked an era of many people seeking and gaining freedom.
This might be speculation but it does serve to make us ponder that there does seem indeed a set time for events, with patterns within patterns all leading to when the kingdoms of this age and their oppression of the coasts of the Philistines, and their oppression of Palestine, begin to lift with the establishment of Israel. Beyond this we look to the time when all political powers are replaced with the kingdom of the Lord. When,
In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance. (Isaiah 19:24-25)

We were asked what early documents establish that Rosh of Ezekiel 38 is Russia. The answer is in 2 parts, as we explain the trajectory from fulfilled prophecy in history to prophecy yet to be fulfilled.
The Revelation 12 Sign
There is much written about the sun, moon and planets aligning on in September 2017. We have many reasons for suspecting that 2017 will be a prophetically significant year, and the time of the Jewish feast of Sukkot could be more significant than any other time, but we need to understand the scripture before we consider the stars.
There is a great sense that the British are about to sail on the winds of change, and cast off the European shackles which have reduced trade and it's competitive edge. There is a reason why it's 'now', as it is spoken of in the Bible.
As the world becomes focussed on Israel and Jerusalem, with even nations leaders who remote from Israel having an opinion, we might consider that it is said that those who touch Jerusalem, touch God's eye.
