12 1 Of the deliverance of the
Church by Christ.
1 And at that [a]time shall Michael stand up, the great prince, which standeth for the children
of thy people, and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since
there began to be a nation unto that same time: and at that time thy people
shall be delivered, everyone that shall be found written in the book.
a.
Daniel 12:1 The Angel here noteth two things: first that the
Church shall be in great affliction and trouble at Christ’s coming, and next that God will send his Angel to
deliver it, whom here he calleth
Michael, meaning Christ, which is published by the preaching of the Gospel.
The Geneva Bible is one of the most historically
significant translations of the Bible into English, preceding
the King James translation by 51 years.[1] It was the primary Bible
of 16th century Protestantism and was the Bible used by William Shakespeare, Oliver Cromwell, John Knox, John Donne, and John Bunyan, author of Pilgrim's Progress.[2] It was one of the Bibles
taken to America on the Mayflower, it was used by many English Dissenters, and it was still respected by Oliver Cromwell's soldiers at the time
of the English Civil War in the booklet Cromwell's Soldiers' Pocket Bible.[3]
Most all of the early reformers and Protestants within
the Christian Church realized that the (Michael) of Daniel in the Old Testament
and Jesus of the New Testament were one and the same. Catholic dogma greatly
influenced the diversion away from this idea with its doctrine on angels and
(Angelic beings): ArchAngels, etc.
21 But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of
truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
MICHAEL IS THE GREAT PRINCE OF THE COVENANT OF PROMISE OF
DANIEL 12; TO BE CONFIRMED IN THE CHRIST SEVEN YEAR MINISTRY OR 70th
WEEK OF DANIEL 9:
1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the
children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was
since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that
shall be found written in the book.
DANIEL 9:25 and 27
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.
27 And he (MICHAEL) shall confirm the Covenant (not ‘a’ covenant as has been incorrectly alleged)
with many for one week (7 years):
and in the midst of the week (3 ˝ years) he shall cause the sacrifice and the
oblation to cease (cut off at the CROSS), and for the overspreading of
abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that
determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
MICHAEL’S VOICE IS WHAT BRINGS THE RESURRECTION:
DANIEL 12:1-2
1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great
prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time
of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time:
and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found
written in the book.
2 And many of them that sleep in
the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame
and everlasting contempt.
1 THESALONIANS 4:16
16 For the Lord himself shall
descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice
of the archangel (Chief Messenger) (STRONGS NT 32 GREEK: ἄγγελος
; ággelos – properly, a messenger
or delegate), and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word (voice), and
believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into
condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is
coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear
the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is
the Son of man.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the
which all that are in the graves
shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good,
unto the resurrection of life; and
they that have done evil, unto the
resurrection of damnation.
DANIEL 12:1-2
1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great
prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time
of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time:
and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found
written in the book.
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to
shame and everlasting contempt.
(NOTE THE PARALLEL OF VERSE 29 OF JOHN 5,
ABOVE, AND THIS VERSE IN DANIEL 12:2. MICHAEL BRINGS THE RESURRECTION IN DANIEL
12 AS HE DOES ALSO IN JOHN 5 AS THE SON OF GOD.
MICHAEL LEADS THE CHARGE TO CAST DOWN
SATAN
REVELATION 12:7-10
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael
and his angels (messengers) fought
against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels (messengers),
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil,
and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and
his angels (messengers) were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now
is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast
down, which accused them before our God day and night.
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
27 For the Son of man shall
come in the glory of his Father with his
angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
31 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.
DANIEL 12:3
3 And they that be
wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and
ever.
DANIEL 9:27 (b)
and for the overspreading of
abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation (end time),
and that determined shall be poured upon
the desolate (desolator) (SATAN).
2 THESSALONIANS
2:1-10
Now we beseech
you, brethren, by (about) the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our
gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit,
nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
8 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:
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work:
only he who now letteth (hinders) will let (hinder), until he be taken out of
the way.
8 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:
9 Even
him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and
lying wonders,
10 And
with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they
received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
MICHAEL IS THE DELIVERER to TAKE AWAY
SIN
DANIEL 12:1
And
at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince (of the Covenant) which
standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble,
such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered,
every one that shall be found written in the book.
ROMANS 11:
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as
it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto
them, when I shall take away their sins.
DANIEL 9:
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.
PRINCE AND SAVIOUR FOR TO GIVE REPENTANCE AND FORGIVENESS
OF SINS
ACTS 5:30-31
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and
hanged on a tree.
31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
*(a priest for
ever after the order of Melchisedec).
MANY WILL SAY THAT MICHAEL IS AN ANGEL AND THEREFORE CAN NOT
BE THE REDEEMER. BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT FULL REDEMPTION FROM ALL EVIL COMES BY
THE ANGEL OF THE LORD!!!
Genesis 48:
14 And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon
Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand
upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the
firstborn.
15 And he blessed
Joseph, and said, GOD, before whom my fathers Abraham
and Isaac did walk, the GOD which fed me all my life long unto this day, THE
ANGEL which redeemed me from all evil,...
DANIEL 12:1
And
at that time shall Michael stand up, the
great prince (of the Covenant) which standeth for the children of thy
people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was
a nation even to that same time: and at
that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found
written in the book.
DANIEL 9: 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.
MICHAEL OPENS THE BOOK OF REDEMPTION
DANIEL 12:1 and 7
And
at that time shall Michael stand up,
the great prince (of the Covenant) which standeth for the children of thy
people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was
a nation even to that same time: and at
that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the
throne a book written within and on the
backside, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither
under the earth, was able to open the
book, neither to look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read
the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of
David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
And I saw another mighty angel (messenger) 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:
2 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,
3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had
cried, seven thunders uttered their
voices.
4 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.
5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the
sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
6 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 (delayed):
(COMPARE THIS PORTION OF VERSES 1-6 with DANIEL 12:5-7)
7 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.
8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said,
Go and take the little book which is
open in the hand of the angel (messenger) which standeth upon the sea and
upon the earth.
9 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.
10 And I took the little book
out of the angel's (messenger’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.
11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and
nations, and tongues, and kings.
DANIEL 12:4-9
4 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.
5 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.
6 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?
7 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. (COMPARE THIS PORTION WITH REVELATION 5:1-6)
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord,
what shall be the end of these things?
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till
the time of the end.
SO WHAT IS LEFT TO BE REVEALED IF THE BOOK OF
REDEMPTION IS ALREADY OPENED IN REVELATION CHAPTER 5?
WHEN?
DANIEL
12:6 and 9
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?
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till
the time of the end.
REVELATION 10:6-7
6 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
(delayed):
7 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.
HOW?
DANIEL 12:8
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my
Lord, what shall be the end of these
things?
REVELATION 10:
8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again,
and said, Go and take the little book
which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the
earth.
9 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.
10 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.
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and
drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
WHO?
REVELATION 10:3-4
3 And cried with a loud
voice, as when a lion roareth:
and when he had cried, seven thunders
uttered their voices.
4 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.
17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give
him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man
knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
HEBREWS 7:15-17
15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the
similitude of *Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of *Melchisedec.
REVELATION 10:4
4And 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 10:7
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.
To him that overcometh
will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in
the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
MICHAEL
1-2-3-4-5-6-7
Hebrew
name מִיכָאֵל
(Mikha'el) meaning "who
is like God”
*The
heavenly deliverer is Melchizedek. Identical with the archangel Michael, he is
the head of the ‘sons of Heaven’ or ‘gods of Justice’ and is referred to as elohim
and el. The same terminology occurs in the Songs for the Holocaust of
the Sabbath. These Hebrew words normally mean ‘God’, but in certain specific
contexts Jewish tradition also explains elohim as primarily designating
‘judge’… (Vermes, p. 532)(The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls in English,
translated by Geza Vermes [Penguin Books, Revised edition 2004].
Vermes was one
of the first scholars to examine the Dead Sea Scrolls after their discovery in
1947, and is the author of the standard translation into English of the
Dead Sea Scrolls: The Dead Sea Scrolls in English (1962)[ Dr. Vermes found in
his discoveries, when translating the Dead Sea scrolls, that Melchizedek,
Michael, and Jesus are all three synoptic as applied to the scriptures depicted
therein. 11QMelch or the Melchizedek document,
is a fragmentary manuscript among the Dead Sea
Scrolls which mentions Melchizedek as leader of God's angels in a war in
Heaven against the angels of darkness, agreed by most Bible
scollers to be that of the more familiar archangel
Michael.
In the so-called “War
Scroll” (1QM 13:10; 16:6-8; 17:7), Melchizedek appears to be the archangel
Michael, who is “the prince of light” (1QM 13:10-11; cf. 1QS 2:20-22; CD
5:17-19) and “the angel of [God's] truth” (1QS 3:24). Scrolls scholar Carol
Newsom says, “it would seem most plausible that
Melchizedek is to be identified with the seventh and highest of the chief
princes, as Michael is customarily identified with the highest of the
archangels.”
