07/10/2026 – “The Chiasma”/ “So the last will be first, and the first last.” Matthew 20:16
“We were sitting on opposite sides of a small table in one of the school courtyards. The teacher reached into a cloth bag, pulled out a few pieces from a chess set, and set them on the table in this order: the white king, the white bishop, the white knight, the black knight, the black bishop, and the black king.
“What pattern do you see here?” he asked.
“The white side is the inverse of the black side and the black of the white.”
“It’s called a chiasma. It’s a pattern that appears in Scriptures: ‘Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.’ ‘The last will be first, and the first will be last.’ ” “So God used the pattern of chiasma in the Word.”
“Yes and not only in His Word,” he said, “but in the age.”
“How so?” “he ordained the end to be as the beginning, and the beginning as the end.”
“I still don’t understand.”
In the beginning of the age, Israel disappeared from the world. But it was prophesied in the Scriptures that at the end of the age, Israel would reappear into the world. In the beginning of the age, the Jewish people were driven from Jerusalem. But at the end of the age, they must dwell in Jerusalem once again. In the beginning of the age, believers in Messiah were persecuted by an anti-christian world civilization. So at the end of the age, it is prophesied there will again be an anti-Christian world civilization and persecution against believers in Messiah. At the beginning, Messiah left this world from Jerusalem. And lastly, it was at the beginning of the age that the believers of the Book of Acts walked the earth. So at the end of the age …”
“They are to walk the earth again,” I said. “And we are to be that people.”
“Yes,” he said. “Therefore, live as if you were one of them. Stand as they stood. Go forth as they went forth. And overcome as they overcome. It is our role, our part, and our calling … on the other side of the chiasma.”
The Mission: Live today as if you were one of the believer at the very beginning. As they overcome their world, overcome yours.
Matthew 20:16; 23:12; 24: 12-13; Acts 2:17.

Now, let’s look at two bible verses, particularly the 2nd one , end-time prophecy in the book of Zechariah:
“I will bless those who bless you, I will curse those who treat you with contempt, and all the people on earth will be blessed through you.” (Genesis 12:3)
“On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will gather against it.” (Zechariah 12:3).
Question: With all the persecution that Jewish people have suffered through over thousands of years, has there ever been a time like this where seemingly, the whole world is against them. And when did it proliferate all the more? Was it not right after 10/07/2023, Hamas’ genocide of over 1,000 Israeli citizens, including children, on their own soil?
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Isaiah 5:20
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” 2 Timothy 3: 1-5.
