Was the Queen's 70-Year Reign Mentioned in Bible Prophecy?

Queen Elizabeth II died on 8 September 2022 after a 70-year reign. She was the longest-reigning monarch in history whose reign can be verified by exact dates.

An end-time Bible prophecy mentions a monarch who days would be “70 years.” Could this refer to the queen?

Isaiah’s Vision of the Future

In Isaiah chapter 23, the Hebrew prophet Isaiah recorded a vision about the ancient city of Tyre. This vision describes the destruction of Tyre, and it’s revival after 70 years.

That, by itself, may not be very interesting. However, there are several elements in this prophecy that show that it is actually an end-time prophecy, foretelling the rise of a world-ruling empire that will appear shortly before the end of the age.

How do we know?

Notice Isaiah 23:17:

“It will happen after the end of seventy years that the LORD will look on Tyre, and she shall return to her wages, and will play the prostitute with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.”

What is this city that will act as a prostitute with every nation on earth?

“Babylon the Great”

If you are familiar with the prophetic book of Revelation you will recognize that the exact same thing is said of an end-time city called “Babylon.”

Notice Revelation 17:1-2:

… “Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality ; and those who dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her sexual immorality.”

In the book of Revelation, this “woman” represents a political, economic, and religious power that will come to dominate the world right before the return of Jesus Christ. Like a prostitute, this end-time power will inter into intimate relationships with all of the nations of the world, for her own economic interests—but she will not act faithfully with them.

The prophecy in Isaiah tells when this “woman” will begin to make these agreements with the nations of the world:

It will come to pass in that day that Tyre will be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. After the end of seventy years it will be to Tyre like in the song of the prostitute. Take a harp; go about the city, you prostitute that has been forgotten. Make sweet melody. Sing many songs, that you may be remembered. (Isaiah 23:15-16)

According to this prophecy, this nation was once one of the greatest powers in the world, but will be forgotten for 70 years, according to the days of one king.

Who is This “King”?

Obviously Queen Elizabeth II was a queen, not a king. However, the Hebrew word translated king can refer to any kind of national leader. So it is possible that the “days of one king” in this prophecy refers to the reign of Elizabeth.

Another reason to suspect that this prophecy is about to be fulfilled is that in 2022 Germany has now been forgotten for 70 years.

Other end-time prophecies identify Germany as the country that will lead the world at the end. After Germany was destroyed in World War II, the nations that won the war wanted to make it impossible for Germany to ever rise again. The United States continue to dismantle Germany’s industry until 1951. In 1952 Germany became part of the European Coal and Steel Community, which was designed to make a European war impossible, and people stopped worrying about Germany ruling the world.

Today, 70 years after the German threat was forgotten, Germany is once again the leading country in Europe.

Are we approaching the end of the age? Will Germany try to rule the world again?

TITLE: UNDERSTANDING THE BLESSINGS FOR PAYING YOUR TITHE...

TEXT: MALACHI 3:8-10

"Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I WILL NOT OPEN YOU THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN, AND POUR YOU OUT A BLESSING, that there shall not be room enough to receive it".

 *SPIRITUAL NUGGET:* 

" YOUR TITHE IS NOT A CONTRIBUTION OR A MERE GIVING, IT IS A COMMANDMENT FROM GOD THAT YOU MUST KEEP DOING, BECAUSE IT IS PART OF YOUR LIFE AND DESTINY... YOUR TITHE IS AN ETERNAL INVESTMENT!"

 *LET'S GO DEEPER:* 

Because Satan understand the magnitude and powerful MYSTERY that is behind TITHING, he chooses to attack and demoralized the subject of TITHE in the body of Christ by making many Believers to see it as a means of extortion. The subject of TITHING has become one of the topmost controversial topics in many Churches today, not because it is controversial in nature, but it is Satan that has made it so. But unfortunately, many Believers have also be mislead to belief that TITHE is inconsequential (Irrelevant) in the new testament, tending to see it as Old Testament practice. How wrong they are! This is why they have been limited and suffering alot in the hands of their enemies. Because TITHING is a spiritual system that is designed to rebuke the DEVOURERS (ENEMIES AND WASTERS OF RESOURCES) from your life.

Now listen, you must understand that the issue of TITHING cannot be over-emphazised because it SACRED AND it is God's CONSECRATED PORTION. It is ETERNAL. I mean, TITHE is not just from men, it is from HEAVEN. You will be amazed to see that when you get to HEAVEN, you will also practice paying TITHE to God with a different substance. YES! (Gen. 14:10-17) The blessings of TITHING is deep and extensive. Apart from the financial benefits you stand to enjoy as a TITHER, there are also some spiritual BLESSINGS that you will enjoy. Just as God said, "... I will open you the WINDOWS OF HEAVEN (This talks about OPEN DOORS, DIVINE OPPORTUNITIES AND THE SUPPLY OF STRANGE WISDOM AND IDEAS), and pour you out a BLESSING, that there shall not be room enough to receive it" (Emphasized). In other words, you can never be stranded and short of WISDOM, IDEAS AND DIVINE INSPIRATION in your business and creativity when you CHOOSE to be a consistent faithful TITHER. YES!

 *ACTION POINT:* 

TAKE NOTE: You don't GIVE (CONTRIBUTE) your TITHE. NO! But you are commanded to PAY (A MUST COMMANDMENT) to give your TITHE to God. And in paying your TITHE you must be consistent with it. TITHE is one-tenth of your INCOME, salary and benefits. It doesn't necessarily mean monthly, NO! You can classified your TITHING weekly. Pay it every week (Sundays) to God based on how God favoured and blessed you during the week. Learn to always PAY your TITHE rightly. It is non-negotiable. May God's Spirit rest upon you STRONG in Jesus Name, Amen!

 *FURTHER STUDY:* 

Malachi 3:5-13, Luke 6:38, Proverbs 3:1-10.

 *PRAYER:* 

Father I receive the Grace to be a Faithful and Committed TITHER in the Name of Jesus Christ.

 *BIBLE STUDY PLAN:* 

Jeremiah 43:1-10, Acts 23:10-end.
