DANIEL PART 3
We are now arriving at the part of the scriptures which interest me the most, that of prophecy, which pertain to the actions of this day, the day in which I live and exist. How could one ever doubt the existence of God when all these things written about today’s current events are taking place right in front of us, and they were written many years ago?
They must have been experienced before in order for such accuracy, they must have been witnessed and recorded by these futuristic beings. That is why I wrote the article on ‘Ancient civilizations.’
If I should take videos of today’s happenings, then transport myself back a year or so, I could then with great accuracy predict what would take place today, which in this case would be the future. I feel strongly that this is what has happened.
There have been many worlds, many civilizations such as ours that have come and gone through the infinity of time. Those such as we humans have advance to such a degree that they are able to return to the past and become our God. They have the very capability of creating from what appears to be nothing.

Dan.8
[1] In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.
[2] And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.
[3] Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
[4] I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.
[5] And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
[6] And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had there seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
[7] And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
[8] Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
[9] And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.
________________________________________________
In my ramblings, ponderings, imaginations, and speculations I am only able to visualize one thing. It is only a vision in my head, and in actuality really means nothing.
From the Ram, the goat, and the horns only one thing comes to my mind, and I feel that it means nothing at all. However I will spell it out here. From all these codes, clouded words, hidden meanings only one thing comes to mind.
Our present setting president which came to office under false pretenses, not of our founding religion, nor is of our culture, and is inept at all he tries to do, and from all indications hates our nation with a passion. Not only that but his is of the minority race that was so savagely treated. It may be that he is the one from that one horn, the weak and broken one horn. In other words possibly he is the antichrist
that many think he is. It is so very unusual the manner in which he was raised to one of the highest positions in the land. Whether he is or not, I will be watching his actions very closely to see if he performs as prophecy has indicated that he would.
So far I have not seen anything yet that would indicate for a certainty that he is the one. If he is, it will not be long before he does. If he is the one, I doubt seriously if even he knows it yet. Satan has not made a personal contact with him that I know of.
________________________________________________
[10] And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
________________________________________________
It is indicated that he will have the power to bring down some of the angels of heaven and persecute them. This would be proof to me that we have been, can be, and shall in the future be visited by the angels from heaven. I know from the scriptures that the patriarchs of the past seem to have had a personal relationship with not only God’s angels, but with God as well.
________________________________________________
[11] Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
________________________________________________
Not very many of the world today study prophecy that close. I have been at it for a greater portion of my life, and I have learned a few things, and it was not from the watered down churchized version of prophecy. It has come from a very close study of the scriptures, and watching world events take place.
I have only been an observer, not a partaker of world events. I consider myself a temporary visitor here, and have no wish to dirty myself with world events. The only events I take part in are personal, and family. I have nothing to do with either church, or politics.
What I am driving a point on is, we do not have to watch the skies like a hawk for the return of our Savior, the one who will take on this world and straighten it out. We are given a time line to follow. We can not know the hour or the day of his return, he has stated this himself, but nothing has been indicated that we can not know the week, the month, and year that he will burst through the skies with his armada of strength.
What seems like a very insignificant event mentioned in (verse 11 ) above is very much of significance. ‘when the daily sacrifice is taken away’ this is a very important key point in prophecy. The actual time count can be started when this event comes about.
Actually the Jewish people have not even started this ritual as of this date that I am aware of. It has got to be started, and in practice before it can be stopped. To this present time I have heard nothing about this sacrifice being made, the sacrifice of a young red blemish free cow.
The actual days, the amount of days from this ‘stopping of the sacrifice,’ will be given later. The amount of days from this event to the placing of the abomination in the holy place to the actual return of Jesus in the clouds of glory.
Not only that but also the amount of days till our actual redemption. Therefore we do not have to be deaf, dumb and blind to prophecy.
________________________________________________
[12] And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
[13] Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
[14] And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
________________________________________________
The time line for this action is given here. From the time that this action, the stopping of the daily sacrifice to the next event, which will be the placing of the ‘abomination of desolation’ in the holy place will be two thousand three hundred days.
It will be during this time that all hell will be breaking loose on earth under the ruler-ship of Antichrist. Three and one half years of real tribulation, and especially for all of us who claim to be Christians. Yes, the Christians will still be here, as there is no ’secret’ rapture of the saints. We shall have to bear our cross just as Jesus did, our cross being under the rule of Satan’s epitome.
His actions are already beginning to show in our society. All that pertains to the real worship of God is being outlawed in government and education. He is being blackballed by the world of entertainment, and ridiculed at all junctions of news media. This is being implicated by what is being politically correct.
He, God is almost being outlawed from the religions. It is to the point where all other religions, paganisms, and sexual perversion can not be preached against in the churches due to the stranglehold the IRS has on the religious field. Again that censorship of political correctness.
When He, whoever he may be, Oboma or some other of the shadow government that takes center stage and pronounces that he is god, and no other gods are allowed, and the stopping of the Jewish daily animal sacrifice, then we will know of a certainty where we stand.
At that time it will be a death sentence to claim Christianity, not too far from that now.
________________________________________________
[15] And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
[16] And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
[17] So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.
[18] Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.
[19] And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.
[20] The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.
[21] And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
[22] Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
[23] And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
[24] And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
[25] And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
________________________________________________
Troubles in the Mid-eastern nations, and from them shall come our persecutor of all persecutors, that which is known as the Anti-Christ. Daniel is being briefed on what his dream meant, and it was not for his day and age, it is for ours. The interpretation was meant for you and me to read and understand.
These are very troublesome times, and they will grow much worse. I sure feel for all the young who are being born today into this satanistic world. Seeing all these prophecies written hundreds of year ago come about before my eyes strengthens my faith.
________________________________________________
[26] And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.
[27] And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king’s business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.

Dan.9
[1] In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;
[2] In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
[3] And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplication, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
[4] And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
[5] We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
[6] Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
[7] O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.
[8] O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
[9] To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;
[10] Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
[11] Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.
[12] And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
[13] As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.
[14] Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.
[15] And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
[16] O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.
________________________________________________
At that time the wrath of God came on Israel, and Jerusalem due to their many iniquities, trespasses and sins, Daniel is more or less asking God for mercy on Israel and Jerusalem. He admits that all their neighbors hate them.
Not much has changed from that day, the world still seems to hate Israel, they have become a bothersome nuisance on the block, bullying their neighbors, in fact the whole world.
I still must fall back on the actions of their grandfather Isaac, actually his son Jacob and what he did to his father and brother Esau. (Gen 25 and 27 also my article on Genesis part 6) I feel this is the root cause for most of these ill feelings among the mid-eastern nations. Their very standing in life was grounded on one who blackmailed his brother out of his birthright, and then with lies and deceptions stole his brother’s blessing.
________________________________________________
[17] Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord’s sake.
[18] O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.
[19] O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.
[20] And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;
[21] Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
[22] And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.
________________________________________________
Here we have solid proof that an advocate of God has come to the earth in order to converse and pass the time of day with Daniel. Not only that but also to give Daniel an instant education, and grant him the wisdom on how to use it.
_______________________________________________
[23] At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
[24] Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
[25] 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.
[26] 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.
________________________________________________
I feel that the seventy weeks of years have come and gone, and Jerusalem has been rebuilt, the Messiah has come, and the Jews murdered him.
After this shall come hard times heralded in by the Antichrist. These times have already begun, there have been troublesome times ever since Jesus hung on the cross. It appears that Jerusalem and the temple which has not even been rebuilt yet, shall again be destroyed. There are many rumors which indicate that this could happen at any time now, and with the available weapons, it is not impossible to do just that. There have been numerous threats against the nation of Israel by their neighbors, their distant brothers.
________________________________________________
[27] 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.
________________________________________________
Antichrist will confirm his standing for a week of years, seven long years. The first half will be used to con the public making them think he is somebody that he isn’t. In the very middle of the seven years, three and one half years, forty two weeks into the seven he will make a definite stand, coming right out and saying that he is god and that there is no other.
All religious activity that is not to him must come to a screeching halt, as of right now. Not to do so will be a death sentence. This will be that time of great tribulation like the earth has never before seen.
A very hard time for we Christians who happen to be alive at that time. To not worship the beast himself will mean many of us will lose our heads. That will be the manner of execution, beheading. These that are beheaded will be the very ones who will help Jesus administer the Wrath of God on earth at his return.
Interestingly enough, beheading is the favored method of killing enemies of the Islam faith. A faith that feels that if you do not come to their side, you are an infidel, and need to die. It is a faith that is fast filling our land. Also as a side note, it is the faith of the entity that sits in the White House at this moment, one who favors those of this faith.
