Bible Prophecy | 2520days

August 29, 2013

And at midnight there was a cry made

Knowledge in general has continued to increase, and undeniably (even dramatically so along with global travel and mobility) just within our generation alone,

“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Daniel 12:4

However, Daniel Chapter 12 applies more so to the knowledge of his word and how it will become known at the time of the end, and it has been interesting to watch over the years as world events shift and align toward what has been revealed, and we can begin to see more clearly those days approaching as he told us, we have more than Moses and the Prophets for our consideration, much more than even Daniel had for reference, with the record of the Gospels and the understanding that Christ came according to the law and prophets, we have a more sure witness,

We are without excuse,.

“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.” 1 Corinthians 15:3-8

Like Paul our understandings come from being brought in after these events, we didn’t directly witness the miracles and resurrection and yet it’s because of the spirit that we can see them at all, its not from the strength of our own wisdom or counsel,

Israel was given great works to see firsthand their Messiah, to acknowledge him and accept him as the fulfillment of the law for which they had the appearance at least of upholding as well as the prophets they claimed to esteem, and still they would not. Satan can perform great works and will perform great miracles of deceptions at the time of the end. Jesus did not stake his authority on miracles, but rather by fulling the Law and his coming being according to the Prophets, as it is written, for our eternal witness,

“For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.” Luke 10:24

With many prophetically timed events occurring in the world, it seems too often there are those who (unknowingly or inadvertently) seek to normalize today, to raise the level of perceived scriptural requirements above what is actually stated, to be something more than current events, above our present knowledge and even beyond our current technology, as if all things continue today as they always have,

Peter comments that at the time of the end there would be those that respond:

“And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.” 2 Peter 3:4

We’re told that if it were possible even ‘the very elect’ would be deceived, and if left alone in the flesh to our own understandings, we could never adequately discern (all) the signs of the times or properly separate his work in the flesh (Israel) from the spirit (the Church) or begin to understand how he will resolve that separation of the times as he comes himself fulfilling the restitution of all things, as the Jubilee,

“he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

And Jesus answered and said unto him,

Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 16:15-17

The Parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew Chapter 25 presents some deep clues as we consider the time it must apply toward, the day when he is revealed, a time preceding the revealing of that wicked one, the day of his return for his ecclesia, his called out ones, meaning what must be happening in the world at this precise moment when he comes for those waiting, as revealed by the spirit,

“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” 1 Corinthians 15:51-52

“But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.” Luke 17:29-30

1) they are all virgins (the Church)
2) five are wise, with oil (the Holy Spirit)
3) five are foolish,
4) they are all waiting for the bridegroom (Jesus)
5) they all wake up with the shout, (the Trump of God)
6) And at midnight there was a cry made (fullness of time)
7) go ye out to meet him (with the voice of the Archangel)

And yet only those with oil in their lamps are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb and “the door is shut.”

“Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.” Isaiah 26:20

Be sensitive to the accounting they are all virgins, they are all waiting for the bridegroom, and those lacking oil in their vessels are aware they missed the coming of the bridegroom, and while they hurry off attempting to quickly remedy their condition with those that would make the house of God a place of merchandise, those that would rely solely on passive understandings of the truth, instead of earnestly seeking it out for themselves and joining the witness of the spirit, the door remains shut with the admonition from the bridegroom himself :

“Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.” Matthew 25:11-13

To the church at Philadelphia:

“I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.” Revelation 3:8

And ‘after this’ meta (μετά) tauta (ταῦτα)

After the Church,

“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.” Revelation 4:1

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

“And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.” Revelation 19:9

to seal up the vision and prophecy

Many books about Daniel and the 70 weeks tell us there are at most six conditions to be met in Daniel 9:24. There are actually seven requirements (to complete the 490 years upon Israel )

“Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city,

1) to finish the transgression, and
2) to make an end of sins, and
3) to make reconciliation for iniquity, and
4) to bring in everlasting righteousness, and
5) to seal up the vision and
6) prophecy, and
7) to anoint the most Holy.

And why does it matter? why is this important to understand?

“to seal up the vision and Prophecy” is usually expressed as if being a single mechanism of his communication, but anyone having experienced the difference between a vision and witnessing the fulfillment of what is written would understand how the information in these formats are separate, it helps us to properly divide the structure of his work as it becomes revealed to believers whether being in the flesh or being in the spirit, and further toward who it is that is being addressed, and once we’re aware of how they are different, it becomes a valuable help to consider what is being presented. We have imagery presented in Zechariah, Ezekiel, Daniel and elsewhere with almost the entire book of Revelation in the form of a vision, rendered into signs by none other than Jesus himself and presented to John. However we must also consider that it can be personal imagery revealed by the Holy Spirit, to help guide us as individual believers, whereas prophecy as its written in (as Gabriel called it) “the scripture of truth,” is matter of fact in word, very much like a legal document, accessible to all and to be met unconditionally. Satan can quote scripture as well as we can, but he does not have access to our visions and dreams, this is direct communications to us,

There are many mainstream Churches and well meaning organizations and even popular online web posting boards, that will all but disparage this gift of the Holy Spirit, his giving of dreams and visions and the pouring out of his spirit in these last days for our edification is dismissed as almost foolishness, and while they would have the appearance of following him, they deny this power merely because of the effort it would require to discern the truth:

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know you the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:” 1 John 4:1-2

They may have all manner of appearances of serving him, but can they perceive all he has to say without oil in their lamps, and if they have the oil, his light will shine in the Temple, and they will hear his voice and look for his coming,

“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” 2 Timothy 3:5

Dreams and visions can provide more information in the way a photograph can express more than words alone, but just as easily a photograph without a description or point of reference can present an even greater mystery, visions and prophecy work together, but the imagery is the manner in which he can reveal much more, and it can also be by his power tuned to our individual experiences and perspectives, like the hidden manna raining down for our understanding and learning, and this manner is promised to be increased as the end approaches,

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” John 16:13

We walk not in darkness that the day of the Lord should overtake us like a thief as Paul wrote in 1 Thessalonians, and neither will you see it unless you look, and only those earnestly looking for him, with their lamps full of oil, as a bride anxiously waiting for her bridegroom will see him in the day he is revealed,

“All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.” John 16:15

1) to finish the transgression, Israel is the transgressor and having now been restored the second time from the diaspora is ready to complete the law upon the Earth, this is not for his Church, this is about his promises to be kept to David, to Israel, for his Holy Name.

“When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; (For the Lord thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.” Deuteronomy 4:30-31

“In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.” Jeremiah 50:20

2) to make an end of sins. Jesus did this on the cross for us, those that willingly receive it are covered and are already written in the Lambs book of life written before the foundation of the world. Sin exists in the world, but the remedy has been freely provided to overcome it forever,

3) to make reconciliation for iniquity, Jesus did this on the Cross for us, he became sin to make reconciliation under the Holy structure which he himself provided, he then provided himself becoming a Son of Man, a kinsman of Adam, being now eligible to redeem us, because it could only be a man, and he made restitution before our Father forever. We can now come boldly before the throne because the one who purchased our strength to stand and by his own hand bought our salvation, promises he will confess our presence before the throne and to all the host that stand about it. For those willingly uncovered the lake of fire will be their reconciliation,

“To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” 2 Corinthians 5:19

4) to bring in everlasting righteousness, Jesus did this as he ascended into the spirit 40 days after the Resurrection, and ten days before Pentecost, but not yet on the Earth until he returns, providing the comforter to believers and in doing so convicted the world and that the prince of this world will be judged, as we’re told in John Chapter 16,

5) to seal up the vision as shown in many books including Daniel and Revelation, God can place a seal upon his own, something Satan is counterfeiting at the time of the end, and I believe that Satan does not have access to our own dreams and visions, and it’s in this manner that God can communicate with believers individually showing us things to come. Not merely for his plan to the world in what is written in scripture, but in the world of our own within our dreams, for reproof. We are being “helped with a little help” as its written in Daniel,

6) and prophecy, All that has been written in the Prophets and in the Psalms will be fulfilled. Satan can quote scripture and understand what is clearly presented and especially what remains to be done, which will bring his end, so he seeks to change these times and seasons, interrupt the laws and ordinances and hinder what has already been decreed. Its this effort that brings the Judgement upon the whole world, they divide Jerusalem, they part his land at the time of the end.

7) to anoint the most Holy. Jesus is the anointed one, the holy one of Israel, who came to us as the Son of Man, to provide the price of redemption that no man could meet, he came not in his own power, and not to perform his own will, but to do the will of his father only, and in so doing was anointed to receive the spirit without measure. When the fulness of times and seasons are completed upon the flesh (the Earth) he will come in his own power, as title deed owner, the second Adam of the redeemed land for which his own hand upheld him. Jesus then returns as Lord of Lords and Kings of Kings over the Earth and over all of creation, to claim it forever and undoing hell and Death to as many as would receive him,

So the 1) mechanism of his Holy Law 2) manner of its fulfillment 3) harvest cycles, 4) visions, 5) prophecies, 6) psalms, 7) Holy Feast Days and convocations and for the Church, 8) the wedding ceremony for the Bride are all being presented as a pattern of events, and specific times, and counted to specific days known only to God, hidden from Satan’s direct knowledge and revealed as a cloud to those with his spirit of understanding, overlaid with prophetic events coming to the full upon the physical earth, with ongoing warfare in the angelic realm ruling over the Earth, against the spirit of God upon the Earth (the Church) and not over any physical kingdom or nation, (Satan already has them all) except for restored Israel, brought again to complete the laws and ordinances for the redemption upon the physical Earth, but which will be deceived into a covenant with death with this world system under Satans authority, and Israel having now been restored as promised for the appointed time of the end, after which the transgressors will be come to the full for that which is determined to be poured out as Daniel Chapter 9 completes with,

“Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

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.

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.”

Daniel 9:25-27

Counting from the mid-point of a 7000 year (week) pattern:

|Sunday|Monday|Tuesday|Wednesday|Thursday|Friday|Saturday|
|–1000–|–1000—|–1000–|—-1000—-|—1000—|–1000–|–1000–|
|–———–3500 years———-| March 14th, 445 BC

March 14, 445 BC, as the starting point of the 490 years (or 70 sevens) determined per Daniel Chapter 9:26, is 69 sevens (x360 days) or 173, 880 days exactly counting to April 6th, 32 AD, while September 27, 2 BC is precisely 11, 880 days to the same day.

March 14th, 445 BC |—-483 years—-| April 6th,32 AD
September 27, 2 BC |33 years| April 6th,32 AD

Of the 70 Weeks or 490 years determined per Daniel 9:25,

|-49-|–434–| = 483 years total to April 6th, 32 AD, and 49 years of this total, with the Jubilee as Jesus quoted from Isaiah Chapter 61, which was rejected and fell upon the Church, upon gentile believers, providing the good news to as many as would receive it, the kingdom in the spirit and not upon the physical Earth, except in us as we are in him as his body, the Temple, and leaving 56 years remaining of the 490 when Messiah was cutoff or |-49-|-7-| = 490 years

The timing to complete the 490 years (7×70) determined upon Israel as Daniel was told in Chapter 9 is counting from two very specific requirements that had been met in March of 445 BC, counted, rejected, cutoff at 62 weeks (434 years) and now, I would conjecture continuing, as wheels within wheels, (with eight weeks, 56 years remaining) having never been slowed or halted, but moving seamless between the flesh to the spirit, where a thousand years equals one day, whereby it had the appearance of providing additional time, the fullness of the Gentiles must be come in, and time for this world to come to a greater saving knowledge of his work or it would have been convicted long ago with the Temple (Jesus) desolation in 32 AD and then for Israel completely at the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. That flood upon Israel has moved past, now the world with the Great Tribulation will face the same desolation in fire as Jerusalem,

“For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.” 2 Peter 3:5-7

Jesus spoke in parables to Israel, so “hearing they would hear not, and seeing they would see not” or they would have been held to a higher standard of accountability, they would have come to their complete end, much more than only being driven from the land and into the years of the diaspora until being restored the second time in our day, there is only the second time to be restored,

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people,” Isaiah 11:11

The two requirements to begin the counting of days per Daniel Chapter 9 occurred the first time in March of 445 BC, and did not occur again until June of 1967, with the restoration of Israel and Jerusalem being separated in the exact same accounting of days as when Israel first went into captivity under Nebuchadnezzar and then 19 years later with Jerusalem and the Temple being destroyed in 587 BC.

The same conditions, using the identical interval accounting of days are met again:

1. ‘thy people’ Israel restored – May 14th, 1948
2. ‘thy holy city’ Jerusalem restored – June 7th, 1967

and as a watch in the night

“Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men. For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.”

Psalm 90:3-4

seven thunders uttered their voices

“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.” Revelation 10:1-4

to “seal up’ σφραγίζω sphragizō (Strongs Concordance: by implication to keep secret, to attest)

I believe what John is being shown in Revelation Chapter 10 is the mystery of God is finished, Paul tells us the mystery of God is the Church. There is time no longer as the spirit counts time, where a thousand years is as one day, the events now revert in some manner to the promises God made to Israel and to completing the law of Moses in the flesh upon the Earth,

“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” 1 Corinthians 2:7-8

“How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;” Ephesians 3:3-5

As Jesus ascended with a cloud, this powerful angel is descending with a cloud, and while we’re not told who he is, he has much in common with Gabriel who always appeared announcing the conditional timing and coming of the Messiah, we’re witnesses with understanding to what has been, the rainbow over his head is the everlasting covenant God made with the Earth and every living thing in it, the sea represents the gentiles out of every tribe, tongue, nation and peoples, the Earth is Israel. This is the Church, (made up of Jew and Gentile) and Israel. The Angel is standing (speaking to) both the Earth and sea, as opposed to being above it as we’re shown in similar circumstances in Daniel Chapter 12.

And the Angels face shone as the sun, as Moses face shone to Israel, and as Jesus’ face when he was transfigured, revealing his true appearance to the select group of apostles,

“Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.” Luke 17:28-30

“And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.” 2 Corinthians 3:13-16

The veil will remain in place for Israel until the Son of man is revealed,

I believe the seven thunders are referencing what we’re shown in Psalm 81:

“Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.” Psalm 81:10

Psalm 81 points us to the events that happened at the waters at Meribah, as recorded in Exodus 17 and again later in Numbers 20 and shows us what God has performed with Israel, it became the Law of Moses which they recorded, practiced and then transgressed and whereby their house was left desolate. Jesus was the Rock, to be struck only once and then life giving waters to be poured out.

“Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; “ Psalm 81:8

The vision Daniel saw in similar manner, where the man clothed in linen held up both hands to heaven, was above the river and the Earth, a division of time, a division of a Seven, a ‘time times and half ‘ a time is being shown to us,

“Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river. And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.” Daniel 12:5-9

This will not be understood until the time of the end,

“And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.” Revelation 10:5-7

Counting from the mid-point of a 7000 year (week) pattern:

|Sunday|Monday|Tuesday|Wednesday|Thursday|Friday|Saturday|
|–1000–|–1000—|–1000–|—-1000—-|—1000—|–1000–|–1000–|
|–———–3500 years———-| March 14th, 445 BC

April 6th, 32 AD is exactly 17 years, or 6120 days (x360) to Wednesday on a 7000 year/week pattern, or being day 1,440,000 coming to January 6th 49 AD, leaving 7000 more days and then 888 days to the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple just as Jesus described:

“And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” Mark 13:1-2

2520 years (907,200 days) plus 50 years (18,000 days) or the Jubilee. Jesus was the word made flesh, Jesus is the Jubilee, the redeemer, the Gospel is the Jubilee and I suspect in this pattern of days, his life is reflected in the timeline as the jubilee,

“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 1:14
“dwelt” is the Greek: eskenosen = tabernacle

From Moses, the Exodus and the Tabernacle (Jesus in the flesh) to the decree of Artaxerxes (the midpoint of a 7000 year timeline) to the Resurrection:

A time, times and half a time to 5th of Iyar (April 21, 2020) restored Israel’s ‘Holocaust Remembrance Day’ and then a week later, ‘Independence Day’ from May 14th, 1948

“I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. “ Psalm 81:10-11

“He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee. ” Psalm 81:16

“And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.” Revelation 10:9-11

“Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?” Exodus 17:6-7

The second time Moses was commanded to only speak to the rock, but instead he struck it as he had done years before and because the pattern was broken, the Rock was to be struck only the first time, he was not allowed to go into the Promised Land. Jesus is that Rock and will come again.

“I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence , and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.” Hosea 5:15

“And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him. And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also. And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them. This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.“ Numbers 20:9-13

even from everlasting to everlasting

“Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.” Psalm 90:1-2

June 15, 2013

eyes like the eyes of a man

God uses the imagery of beasts to describe governments (kings/kingdoms) in reference to the succeeding world powers that would come after Nebuchadnezzar as the head of gold representing Babylon.

“The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand on the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.” (Babylon) Daniel 7:4

“a mans heart was given to it” = democracy

“I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.” Daniel 7:8

Antichrist is a spirit (and was already at work in Johns day) and its this spirit which empowers the “little horn” at the time of end where its also given that it can “see” like a man. I conjecture this is referencing being able to monitor its citizens every move.

Its only been within the past few decades, with the widespread availability of new technologies, communication satellites, cell towers, computers and now (Tower of Babel) internet connectivity, smart phones, webcams etc., that individual activities of law abiding free citizens everywhere on the Earth are increasingly being monitored.

We’ve become a surveillance society, our every move, purchase, credit transaction, web page visit, blog postings, opinions, habits and political affiliations along with anything else they want to know about us can be monitored, tracked, indexed and stored away until those in power need it to ‘protect’ us,

Its this information for which those in power will have going forward to use against anyone on the outside of this power structure, having never broken any law, to even consider public service or to seek elected office or promote any voice that fails to hold the politically acceptable ‘safe’ views,

They want us to assume its normal, knowing that any society where its every collective thought is consumed with finding ways to bring themselves more entertainment, joy and self-gratification will eventually shrug and give up their freedom and privacy when that comfort is threatened.

Such a system needs only to have the appropriate kinds of events to be adequately exploited along the way,

This is the spirit of antichrist at work,

Its “the eyes of a man,”

And its this type of spirit that is increasingly rising in power when the end of the age comes and just before Jesus bodily returns to the Earth,

“I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.” Daniel 7:21-22

Ultimately we’re shown in the book of Revelation, there will come Ten kings which have no power until the time of the end,

^“The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.” Revelation 17:8-14

the great trumpet shall be blown

“And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.” Exodus 19:16

Always the third day,

“And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice. And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.” Exodus 19:19-20

The first trump as with Abraham and his willingness to sacrifice Isaac, the two horns of the Ram caught in the thicket, the first and last trump, and instead of Isaac, the lord provided himself,

“And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.” Genesis 22:8

There are little noticed and obscure prophecies beginning to happen now in the middle east, believers are becoming outcasts and fleeing the destruction of the whirlwind going from nation to nation,

“The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.” Zephaniah 1:14-16

“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.” Zechariah 9:14

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.” Isaiah 27:13

“In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed. In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.” Micah 7:11-12

And when is this to occur? At the time of the end, after Jerusalem and Judea have been restored to Israel as promised, see Joel 3:1

“Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand;” Joel 2:1

The last trump will sound for the Church in the spirit:

“For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,” Hebrews 12:18-22

But the Church, being his body is not appointed to wrath and as God did for Israel, with Moses (the second time) physically ascending Mount Sinai (40 days) before Yom Kippur while God came down, the next time the Trump of God is heard, its for the Church, the pattern is repeating from the flesh to the spirit:

“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” 1 Corinthians 15:52

“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

And as revealed in the book of Isaiah, after this, shut the door and hide “as it were for a little moment” until the indignation (the great tribulation, 1260 days) is over,

“Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.” Isaiah 26:19-21

for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come

“Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” Matthew 24:42-44

the powers of heaven shall be shaken

“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.” Luke 21:25-26

“And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.” Revelation 6:13

in the last days perilous times shall come

“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

We’re told by Timothy how people will be toward one another in the last days, and its not dissimilar to where we find ourselves today, yet many of these characteristics are borne out of a collective culture that has individual freedoms remaining and if not being outright affluent, then at least having some amount of disposable time and interests which seemingly is in contrast to a world on the edge of destruction as were shown in Revelation Chapter 6 and later,

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” Matthew 24:12

How then, do we also arrive at the following destruction at the end:

“The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.” Isaiah 24:5-6

The Earth is cursed with a curse at the end, and it is specifically as a result of the breaking of the Laws and Ordinances relating to the land and its restitution by God under those laws with the physical return of both “thy people,” Israel and “thy holy city” Jerusalem in the generation that follows its restoration at the time of the end,

The nations of the world divide his land as we’re told in the books of Joel and Zephaniah, restored the second time as we’re told in Isaiah 11,

“And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” Matthew 24:2

“And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.” Leviticus 26:31

It should be noted, this was a private conversation Jesus had with his disciples, it was not part of his message to Israel at that time, and comes after telling them the Temple and Israel would be desolate with not one stone left standing, fulfilling the law of Moses just as he warned them in Leviticus 26,

“Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” Matthew 24:32-44

Israel is the fig tree,

And from the words of Jesus, a certain day is coming that is “as the days of Noah” and “as it was in the days of Lot” where it was a blue sky day, there was some appearance of normalcy in the world and in one day it all changed, compare:

His bodily return to the Earth, to the mount of Olives, where every eye will see him, is not the same day being referred to above, this is another time, a separate event and the world is much different and darker having just gone through the great tribulation where if those days were not cut short, “no flesh would be saved alive,”

This day instead coincides or happens immediately in advance of the “son of perdition” being revealed, for which we’re told in the book of Revelation he receives power for 42 months, 1260 days,

“Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; “ 2 Thessalonians 1:6-9

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. ” 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12

From the revealing of both “the son of man” and “the son of perdition,” there is a set time still remaining to be accomplished for how long he must receive power and then its as its written in Zechariah:

“And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.” Zechariah 14:4

^“For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” Matthew 24:27-31
