BABYLON IS FALLEN – CHAPTER 6
-
The Seven Times of the Gentiles
Spring 537 BCE to Spring 1984 CE
Detailed in Broadview from Daniel
2, 7, 8
Narrowed in Daniel 11 with Details
-
Our goal has been to arrive at 1984, which we will find more and
more is an important year. As we will further clarify, it is the END of the
Times of the Gentiles. Since the Preface and Chapters 1 – 4, we have slowly
built around this timing, with our reader on board and fully following to that
point. Only then can other timings and events be considered and properly
understood.
-
It was very important to convey to the reader the way this timing
was unknown until now. In that manner, the reader could experience the same
question of timing that Jesus did not know nor Paul nor any of the Apostles in
the First Ministry of Messiah, 26-30 CE, on to the death of John the Apostle
around 100 CE. This is critical to figure into why the writers of the New
Testament had expectation of Jesus coming again tomorrow, while within that same
consideration waiting in patience for that time and event, again unknown to
Jesus and them, Mark
13:32, Acts 1:6-7.
-
It was the unknown element, therefore a mystery only revealed to Messiah, when
he HAD returned, past tense, and brought the “confirmation,” of the Last Half
of the 70th Week of Daniel. Spring 1984 was the swinging door, in
that it was the exit from the Seven Times of Lev
26:18-39, and immediate entry to the “time, times, and a half,” the Last
Half of Daniel’s 70th Week, which was 3 and ˝ years, called
additionally 42 months, as well as 1260 days, the second coming of Messiah,
whereupon the judgment and then blessing occur and transpire moving from that accordingly.
We can now show how and when all revelations not made clear to Jesus while the
First Half of the 70th Week of Daniel 9:24-27 was transpiring, WERE
INDEED MADE CLEAR consequent upon fulfilling the 70th Week as to its
Last Half. It was THEN Messiah came to the designated days after the 3 and ˝
years, 42 months, stated to be also 1260 days to that of 1290 and 1335 days, as
given in Daniel
12:11-12.
-
More on this will be given as we proceed, when we have built this presentation
so the reader can follow from where we have led him to this point, on to the
further revelations we have to convey. There is a progression and method as to
how to reveal these things in an orderly manner per where we have brought the
reader in previous chapters and just what to reveal more in each added one. This
is much the same way one would build anything, foundation and then
superstructure. This is NOT the way the Bible has been given in its mysteries.
It has rather been given in a manner NOT to be understood until the time of the
end, only understood by Messiah. Therefore, once revealed and opened to us by
Messiah, as it has been first to this author, it can be presented to others by a
schematic, progression, and plan that makes it clear and no longer the Books of
the Law and Prophets unopened for clear understanding, they have been
heretofore, Dan
10:21, Rev 5:1-5, Dan 12:4, Is 29:11-24. As we will clarify later, this
entails opening 1) – the Books of the Law and the Prophets revealing the
mysteries of the Prophets, and another book the Lamb’s Book of Life, Rev
10:1-11 and Rev 20:12-15.
-
Many
Days and Many Markers
-
Not finding the blessing envisioned in Jer
23:2-8 of such a great exodus that overshadowed the original from Egypt,
at the end of the spring Passover Week in 537 BCE and on the 24th
day or the third day after the Passover Week was completed, Daniel received a
visitation from Michael in Daniel 10 bringing understanding, as we explained in
our Chapter 4, The Cyrus Deception. Daniel was devastated to find that his
greatest fears were confirmed. The vision and answer Michael brought showed it
was for “MANY days.” The “Seven Times more” judgment of Lev
26:18-39, the “Times of the Gentiles” stated by Jesus in Luke
21:24, also called concerning its end and finish, “the Fullness of the
Gentiles” by Paul in Rom
11:25-26,
had initiated upon Israel’s erroneous return in the spring of 537 BCE. However,
Daniel was encouraged and strengthened by Michael continuing and revealing all
that is stated in Daniel 11 and 12 which Daniel, in turn, relates via the Book
of Daniel to Israel. It shows MANY markers that can lead the reader to
understand the years from Daniel’s answer, all the way to the final deliverance
at the time of the end.
-
Of course, this is ONLY understood when properly interpreted by the same
party that gave this answer to Daniel, Michael the Great Prince of Daniel
10:21 and 12:1. Additionally, it is understood
after the fact of its accomplishment here at the finish of the time of the end
for all to enter, in that classic “hindsight 20 / 20 view,” in the sense of
that which we have seen and heard, PAST TENSE, AND THEREFORE CAN CONFIDENTLY
GIVE WITNESS.
-
Michael’s understanding herein given in this publication will open
the Book of Daniel, sealed as to proper understanding until now, unto us. By
his guidance as to the understanding of each pronoun in Daniel 11, when
compared with his instruction on Daniel 2, 7, and 8 will bring clarity and show
the time of the end vividly. The revelation began March 18/19, 1984, even as
that day was the simultaneous end of Lev
26:18-39, 537 BCE to 1984. That understanding has been rendered in
lectures and compiled by this author, and most recently edited and published
since then in final form and released publicly once approved by Michael’s
review and permission, in this publication BABYLON IS FALLEN.
-
At this time, and in this Chapter 6, we will address the broad
view as given when considering certain portions of Daniel 2, 7, and 8. We say
“certain portions” due to the fact that it will be a rendering of those
portions that will serve as the parameters of Daniel 11 and 12. Those two
chapters contain the details and more specific markers counting down this SAME
time for us, the Seven Times more of Lev
26:18-39, which IS the Times of the Gentiles of Luke
21:24, as portrayed within Daniel 2, 7, and 8. The other timings and events that transpire
upon the finish of the Last Half of Daniel 9’s 70th Week, or the
finish and completion of the Last 3 and ˝ years, will be handled after we have
done this rendering of the broad view of Daniel 2, 7, and 8 in coordination
with Daniel 11 and 12.
-
We now give our diagram accenting 1984 with the other markers in other diagrams
already displayed in our earlier chapters. We give a link to an I-phone view in
most cases. This is a picture or snippet taken and given as a “gif” file which
automatically shrinks the diagram to a size that fits totally on the I-phone
screen. Otherwise, what appears on phone, computer, or laptop screen, skews as
given below in some cases as mere text presentation, hence the time taken to
make those snippets / gif pictures:

Coordinating
Daniel 2, 7, and 8 with Daniel 11
-
Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylon, had initiated his conquest of
all the territory extending from the river Euphrates. This was the beginning of
the timing of the Babylonian Captivity in 607 BCE, destroying the temple in 586
BCE, taking Israel into captivity to Babylon. Archeology reveals his official
coronation as king in Babylon in 605 BCE, also the year of the death of the
king of Babylon before him. However, his conquests had already begun under his
ill father Nabopolassar. Earlier than the visions and visitations of Gabriel
and Michael in Daniel 7-12, in Daniel 2, Daniel gives to Nebuchadnezzar the
interpretation of the king’s dream. Daniel had similar visions to that dream in
Daniel 7 and 8, all of which are detailed further in Daniel 11. However, we
must keep in mind that Daniel 8 and 11 do not give any indication of the
Babylonian Empire but start with the next or Medo-Persian Empire and move
forward in time.

Brief
Summary of the Matrix / Chart
-
The full Matrix below is very complex in first eye contact for the
reader. It is reproduced again after the first exposure below but, in that
second exposure and reproduction, it is done in a building block method, easily
followed as we build it before the reader’s eyes. So, we would encourage one
NOT to bog down in trying to follow the matrix in its first exposure in
completed form. Rather, briefly peruse it and move very directly on to the
building block presentation. It is easily followed in a timing progression
constructing segment by segment to form the full matrix, much later in this
chapter and in the following ones, easily and fully understood.
-
The Matrix / Chart is established left to right, top to bottom, in
FOUR COLUMNS addressing Daniel 2 first; second, to the right is Daniel 7; next
is Daniel 8, and finally Daniel 11 on the far right. All four of these chapters
of the Book of Daniel are concerned with the history of Israel declared as
future events within the metaphors, symbols, and descriptions rendered in each
chapter.
-
Each
one of these chapters in Daniel, 2, 7, 8 and 11-12, just listed in is a
complete display from the time of Daniel’s existence, and therefore that of
Israel as well, from their Babylonian Captivity unto the time of the end when
Messiah is victorious, and Israel is redeemed, resurrected to life, and
restored to her relationship with God and His Sovereignty and proper government
under the Son of David, Messiah. Therefore, each of the four chapters is
aligned left to right by chapter 2 – 7 – 8 – 11 respectively and vertically
from top to bottom by historical context in that progressing history, grouping
eras by the Black Stripes as to DATES for those eras in history identified
within the narratives.
-
It is read from left to right but stops at each Black Stripe. In other words,
one must read column one all the way down to, but NOT inclusive of, the Second
Black Stripe and then proceed to the second column, etc. Once all columns are
read under the First Black Stripe, then move to the Second Black Stripe. Again,
one must read the first column all the way down to, but NOT inclusive of, the
Third Black Stripe. Once all columns are read under that Second Black Stripe,
then move to the Third Black Stripe. Although all groupings and a broad
overview are given here immediately, as we stated above, we will again build
this chart, section by section, within our explanations. Therefore, one need
not tediously study it at this point. It will be easily followed piece by piece
in the building-block method that follows along with the remainder of our
publication. Those blocks or groupings are:

In Daniel 2 and 7, the Image and Beast respectively, are
understood to be Babylon under King Nebuchadnezzar. In Daniel 2 this is
depicted in the head of Gold, with Daniel 7 showing the same thing as the Lion.
Nebuchadnezzar’s personal experience in Daniel 4 is depicted by the Lion having
its wings plucked and given a man’s appearance and heart. He learned as stated:
-
Daniel 4:
3…his
(God’s) kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from
generation to generation.
17…
the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will…
37
Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all whose
works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in
pride he is able to abase.

prophesied before and during, the Babylonian Empire, with Daniel prophesying
during and after, extending into the Medo-Persian Empire.

Addressing under the Second Black Stripe, beginning in the
far-left column, in Daniel 2 the silver chest and arms represent the
Medo-Persian Empire, as does the Great Bear in the second column, as depicted
in Daniel 7. The three ribs in the Bear’s mouth, mentioned in Daniel 7, are
explained in Daniel 11:2 in that the fourth king within the Medo-Persian Empire
is, that Bear, greater and eclipses the three before him. Darius, the Mede, the
overseer of Babylon in direct contact with Daniel, under which he had the
Lion’s Den experience of Daniel 6 in the Medo-Persian takeover of Babylon in
539 BCE, was actually NOT the king over all of the empire. He was rather regent
in Babylon, under the authority and greater ruler, Cyrus the Great, who entered
Jerusalem personally by the late fall of 539 BCE. This is without dispute by
all archeology and history scholars. Hence Darius the First, Darius I, also
called Darius the Great, is NOT this person, and comes later as the Third total
empire ruler.
-
Which Darius is Which?
-
In fact, there are even other Darius-named rulers later in the Medo-Persian
King lineup as well. Beside this first mention, Darius the Mede, Cyrus the
Great, was the first total ruler of the whole Medo Persian Empire. The second
was Cambyses II. There is then Darius the Great, called confusingly here for
Bible students in surface read, Darius the First. Making the puzzle more
complex there was Darius the Second and even a Third. We must realize these
were also titles taken by the kings as they were, in overview, seen as names.
There is dispute in archeology and history among scholars over exactly who
indeed was Daniel’s direct king / regent “Darius, the Mede,” that ruled as the
lesser regent under Cyrus, where three theories are advanced. One is
that it was just Cyrus under another name. This is the weakest of arguments. Two
is a little stronger, in that it holds the General that took Babylon under
Cyrus’ command, Cyrus not being in this actual battle by any record, was
Gobryas called also Gubaru, who may have “held the fort” as the saying goes,
until Cyrus came in Fall of 539 BCE, which is recorded in historical,
archeological records. The third and strongest argument is that Cyrus
had a father-in-law that had his confidence of the name, title Darius, and he
was a Mede, and not a Persian.
-
Bottom line, we here can only state the safe point, which is clear
and not in dispute, that Darius, the Mede was a lesser regent under Cyrus. Therefore,
the three kings in Daniel 11:1-2, being over the whole realm, that match the
three ribs in the Bear’s mouth of Daniel 7, were Cyrus the Great from 539 – 530
BCE, Cambyses II 530 – 522 BCE, Darius I or Darius the Great, 522 – 486 BCE,
and finally Xerxes I or Xerxes the Great, also called Ahasuerus that was
greater than them all, the Bear of Daniel 7, and is well-known for going
against Greece. This antagonism against Greece over a hundred years later
turned upon Persia under the military genius of Alexander the Great, taking
Babylon under Greek victory in 333 – 331 BCE.
-
Xerxes I, also called Ahasuerus, is the king of Persia that married Esther as
queen. Artaxerxes I, of the Books of Ezra and Nehemiah was Xerxes I’s son.
There is no record of him as the son of Esther directly. However, it could be
suggested that such is the case by his default affection, predisposition for
Ezra and Nehemiah. It was Artaxerxes I that sent Ezra, the Decree in Ezra’s
hands read in the fall of 458 BCE in Jerusalem, Ezra 7, establishing
government. It is from that decree we count by the proper understanding of
Daniel 9:24-27, the 70 Weeks Prophecy of 70 x 7 years or 490 years, paramount
and central to all Bible eschatology. 483 years from fall 458 BCE or 69 x 7 to
fall 26 CE began that 70th Covenant Confirmation week, Messiah
present and anointed by God for service.
-
Moving to the third column, Daniel 8, verse 3-4, and 20 also are clear and
stated to be the Medo-Persian Empire, with the Persian part being stronger as
seen in the Ram with two horns, one higher than the other. The fourth column,
Daniel 11:2, again, displays the same Medo-Persian Empire and its four kings as
just covered. The Book of Ezra, and the Book of Nehemiah, as far as historical
accounts, along with Books of the Prophets Daniel, and then later Zechariah,
Haggai, Malachi were written during this period of the Medo-Persian Empire.

Addressing under the Third Black Stripe, beginning in the far-left
column, in Daniel 2 the Bronze / Brass portion of the image, in Daniel
7:6, 2nd column, the Leopard with four wings, and in Daniel
8:5-8, 3rd column, the Goat with the great horn broken where
four others came up in its place, as given in Daniel
11:3-4 as well, 4th column, are the Grecian Empire with
Alexander the Great of Greece that conquered the city of Babylon, a main stronghold
of the old Persian Empire by 333 – 331 BCE. Upon his death in 323 BCE the
Grecian Empire was divided into the Four Horns, those areas ruled by his original
top generals. Alexander dying suddenly, with no capable heir or posterity to
take his place, Cassander took Greece proper and the northern area of Macedonia,
which soon was taken over by Antigonus
who remained in his descendants until Rome invaded and ascended in this area,
around 168 BCE. Lysimachus took north and west Asia Minor and Thrace which is
north of Macedonia until defeated by Seleucus. Seleucus remained dominant over East
Asia Minor, Syria, Mesopotamia, and Persia (approximate area called Iran today).
Ptolemy took Egypt and south Asia Minor. Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem were
midway between the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, the king of the south and the
Seleucid Kingdom of Syria, the king of the north prior to Rome entering the
picture. Rome became the major player as the king of the north in later years,
first conquering the Antigonid Dynasty, pushing, as it gained in strength south
and east, until arriving in Canaan / Israel in 63 BCE under Roman General
Pompey. The king of north and south respectively are the ones of interest.
Again, this is due to their existence between the rivers Nile and Euphrates.
They are in constant dispute over control of Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem.

of Silver in Daniel 2 being Medes and Persia, just how does the Brass, two
thighs of the Grecian Empire figure into the equation? When keeping our eyes
between the rivers of the Nile and Euphrates for understanding of all Bible
Prophecy, Gen
15:18, Isaiah 19:23-25, we can see that although there
were four generals and four divisions of the Greek Empire after the death of
Alexander, it was, however, only the Seleucid Kingdom to the north and east and
the Ptolemaic Kingdom to the south and west that had the rule over the Holy
Land and Jerusalem in particular.

Broad
Brush in Daniel 2, 7, and 8
Fine,
Small Brush for Details in Daniel 11
-
Narrowing our view to Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem, we leave
Daniel 2, 7, and 8 for the most part and their broad view, to concentrate in
Daniel 11 on those political maneuvers and rulers that come into focus there.
From here, we will begin our presentation again, temporarily leaving the chart
as our primary reference. As we did in our exposition of Daniel 10 and The Cyrus Deception, we will quote verses
in Daniel 11 verbatim and (in bold face parenthesis)
and then follow the appropriate pronoun giving the correct noun or short
comment for clarity. Any long comments will be in separate paragraphs in
regular print. Of course, the text of scripture will always be in italics. As Daniel 2, 7, and 8 bear upon
the subject, we will address them also in separate paragraphs. We will start
with Daniel 10:21, the last verse of Daniel 10, establishing the ONLY authority
to interpret Daniel and open its sealed contents to us. It is THAT source from
which the author gives this presentation.

Daniel
11: The Maze of Pronouns Removed
By
Michael, the Great Prince
The
Only One Authorized to Interpret
According
to Daniel 10:21
-
Daniel 10:21
But
I (Daniel) will shew thee (Israel) that which is noted in the
scripture of truth (Law
and the Prophets):
and there is none that holds (none
that has proper understanding or authority to interpret) with me (Daniel) in these things (in the answers given to Daniel
in Daniel 9 – 12 as they brought further understanding to Daniel 2, 7, and 8,
as well as Daniel’s concern about Israel and final deliverance as foretold in
the Law and the Prophets),
but Michael your prince.
-
The
ONLY Authority
-
Anything, any doctrine, any interpretation of scripture, when
compared to Michael’s understanding, IS IN ERROR, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, if for
no other reason, by virtue of being short of full truth. As stated by Daniel,
NONE HOLDS WITH DANIEL IN THESE THINGS BUT MICHAEL! Michael’s interpretation
dovetails into ALL the Holy Writ bringing it to light. In view of the authority
stated by Daniel 10:21 as given above, we need not wonder why! Therefore,
before we delve into the details of Daniel 11, which lead from the time of
Daniel the prophet to the coming of Messiah in both advents, we want to first
reemphasize the foundation upon which this presentation stands.
-
Timing
Is Everything - So We Need Daniel
-
The time for deliverance via truth that sets one free is exactly
what Daniel is all about. Examining Daniel
12:1-7, clearly the text from which Jesus states John
5:28-29, we see that it is the wise that instruct others and lead them to
righteousness via said enlightenment in the broadcast of the truth, which is
the power of the holy people down through time and on into the future. It is
also the full essence of resurrection. The wise are indeed made “wise,” or they
are enlightened by Michael the Great Prince, standing with his message,
bringing resurrection. The fullness and
simplicity of his message coupled with the fact that the Times of Gentiles has
now ended, replaces all previous messages, making them obsolete, by virtue of a
greater and all-encompassing understanding that envelops and thus supersedes
them, even as a set of parentheses envelops the contents within it. According
to Isaiah
28 and 29 in a full reading thereof from all of 28 to the end of 29, the
confusion and adamant stands of Israel that prevented her entry into truth as
stated in 28 is removed by proper instruction, real hearing, the book fully
opened in 29.

The exposure of full truth will take us back to the Garden of Eden
and reveal what Adam accepted as truth, that was indeed the lie that all of
creation has followed to its downfall, bondage, and hardship we see around us
increasing every day. This set of lectures on Daniel shows us how we arrived at
this point in the history and existence of mankind. It reveals that indeed
there is a PREWRITTEN PLAN containing a time sequence that brings us to this
hour. This is the assurance, which becomes surer in our minds as the reader
continues with us in this publication.

What
Is True of Messiah,
(In
one sense of the word)
Is
True of Everyone.
One
Is a Matter of Public Record
The
Other Is Not.
-
Everyone’s life matters and no matter how remote our existence and
its troubles, it is right on time and serves God’s purpose. What the Creator has
done on the scale of the big picture with the Messiah, publicly RECORDED in the
Bible for our learning, is the SAME control and meticulous design in everyone’s
life fulfilling His Great Purpose, although not recorded in a public manner. The
key to deliverance is to understand that plan and therefore know for assurance
that God IS, . . . and all is according to His plan. Many people will agree
with that statement, but where is their manifestation in a preponderance of
evidence with a clear understanding from the Bible that proves that fact??? This
publication provides that proof in conjunction with what transpires to its
finish with Israel and Jerusalem.

16:15-16
15
Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments,
lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16
And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue
Armageddon.
-
In 1984 the threshold was crossed, even as a threshold was crossed
in Christ’s first ministry from the Law of Moses to the Gospel of Grace in 30
CE; yet, what Jew, in rejection of Christ’s first coming and ministry, would
agree that a threshold was crossed? What other nation or entity even knew there
WAS a threshold, or that such was indeed crossed in 30 CE? To those who saw by
understanding and believed, to them it was bright and clear. To those who did
not see by understanding and believe properly, it did not occur as far as they
were concerned, and their opinion was that Jesus was a false prophet and worthy
of death. Their clear indication that something was awry, or they had missed
something along the way, was the destruction of the center of their religion in
70 CE!
-
With Michael’s presence exposing the Sealed Book of Daniel at this
time since 1984, the Seven Times of the Gentiles are finished, and we are
entering and have entered the time of the end and the final sequences that
bring blessing to all by the Message of Truth, THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL. This is the same message called
the Gospel of the Kingdom that Christ preached in his first ministry which was
rejected at that time. With Paul’s ministry to the Gentiles, based upon that
rejection of the Gospel of the Kingdom by Israel via rejecting Messiah, we
entered the 1954 years of the Gospel of Grace from that 30 CE cutting off of
Christ, espousing blood atonement for sin, forgiveness on that basis, and
waiting for Christ’s return to receive full deliverance. This is best expressed
in concise form in
-
I Thessalonians 1:9-10 (selected)
.
. . ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
And
to wait for his Son from heaven, . . .
-
With the Second Coming, THE
EVERLASTING GOSPEL, the message Jesus preached in the Gospel of the Kingdom
that was rejected, is given again, and shown to be the Eternal or the Greater
Message in that it is final, based upon the completion of Daniel’s 70th Week
at last. We must remember that Jesus’ Message in the First Ministry was
tempered with parables and hidden meanings, as Isaiah 28 predicted, at that
time by PURPOSE as he said in
-
Matthew 13:10-17
10
And the disciples came, and said unto him, why speakest
thou unto them in parables?
11
He answered and said unto them, because it is given unto you to know the
mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance:
but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing
see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye
shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not
perceive:
15
For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and
their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be
converted, and I should heal them.
16
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
17
For verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men 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.
-
Therefore, Israel being in the condition as just stated and only
the few disciples entering into truth, Israel rejected his message which, again
according to Divine Purpose, made way for the Gentiles to have access to the
Promise and Covenant given to Abraham through the Gospel of Grace and the
ministry of the Apostle Paul. Due to the majority, as revealed in
Galatians, Romans, Colossians, Corinthians, and certainly Hebrews, not coming
unto full truth or completion of the fullness of the Holy Spirit as the
Apostles so did, this left all under the conscience of sins, with blood
atonement for forgiveness of sins. Sin was still present in those who were
still sinners, in hope of full deliverance taking away or eliminating sins in
the Second Coming, when All Israel is saved according to Romans 9-11,
and Romans
11:25-27 in particular. This access granted to the Gentiles was to the
Covenant of God with Abraham which came through Messiah and not through the
Covenant of God with Israel under the Law of Moses.
-
However, as we go on to show, fully exposed in the Book of Acts as
well, in particular Acts
15, the Book of Galatians, and certainly the Book of Hebrews in
comparison with II
Corinthians 11, the Gentiles were put under the Law of Moses by Judaizing
teachers that shunted access to the faith of Abraham over to the Law of Moses.
Therefore, except for the original Apostles and the remnant of Israel that were
taught the pure truth by them, along with the initial Gentiles granted access
to Israel’s general knowledge of God, as seen with Cornelius in Acts 10, the
majority of those accepting Jesus as Messiah remained in ignorance, lacking
full understanding and entrance into the faith of Abraham as Paul’s writings, Hebrews,
and Galatians in particular, plainly reveal, not entering into full rest. This
left all as sinners, but however covered, on the basis of Messiah’s work in
blood atonement for sin, having a hope of full deliverance when Messiah would
return. At that time, Israel would be taken from the Law of Moses, due to its
fulfillment completely in Messiah, to the faith of Abraham once again in THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL as stated in
-
Romans 11:25-27
25
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye
should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to
Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
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.
-
Only
THEN, Clarity, Final Sequence and Blessing
-
Therefore, the blessing contingent upon the completion of that 70th
Week and Messiah’s Second Coming comes with a crystal clear
clarity and Message that eliminates the need for blood atonement,
forgiveness of sins, and other such doctrines, because it takes humanity back
to the original faith of Abraham given for the blessing of all nations in
Genesis 12:1-3. Certainly, these temporary understandings were all
pertinent and definitely had their place in God’s Plan, as did the Law of
Moses, BUT ONLY UNTIL the end of the larger Times of the Gentiles, 537 BCE to
1984, as well as the end of smaller timing of the Age of Grace, 30 CE to 1984, with
the Second Coming, which moved God’s Plan to the final stage of the time of the
end. Upon reading Daniel 9:24, it is
apparent that it could only occur, as a fact on the ground, with the appearance
of Messiah without sin unto salvation in its fullness according to Hebrew
9:28.
-
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.
-
Hebrews 9:28
So Christ was once offered to bear
the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

Having taken this opportunity to enlarge upon Daniel 10:21 and the
authority by which we speak, as well as emphasize the End of the Times of the
Gentiles, 1984 CE, and the finish and completion of the Covenant 70th
Week of Daniel 9, 1984 – 1987, bringing the release of this truth to the public,
and what that full truth accomplishes, let us continue with our exposition of
Daniel 11.
-
Verses 1 – 12 will take us through the Grecian Empire and its two
divisions, king of the north, Seleucid Kingdom, and king of the south,
Ptolemaic Kingdom, both in conflict back and forth across controlling Judea,
Samaria, and Jerusalem, until the greater king of the north, the Old Roman
Empire enters the picture in verse 13, in 63 BCE, AFTER the 100 years,
the “certain years” from 164 – 63 BCE, the Protectorate of the Maccabees.
-
Entering with Hobnailed Boots, Where the True
Messengers of God, Angels Feared to Tread
-
Briefly, here at this juncture of our presentation, we repeat,
with accent, one of the brutal travesties by the would-be gurus and expositors,
in previous years, by entering Daniel prematurely, and without proper
authority. Concerning that point, by THEIR erroneous interpretation, the Greek
Empire through the rule of Antiochus Epiphanes, or Antiochus IV, is projected
past verse 12 of Daniel 11. Verse 12 is the solid termination of Epiphanes by
proper interpretation. Failure to stop him there, as a party of interest,
aborts and obliterates any understanding of verse 13 through 35, where most, if
not all, wrongly placed him for much of their interpretation of Daniel 11.
-
This primarily was the foul of Preterism which first missed the five kingdoms
of Daniel 2, 7, and 8, relegating those whole chapters to only four kingdoms
and stopping with the Old Roman Empire. They miss the additional kingdom of
iron mixed with clay in Daniel 2, the LATER ten horns of the end time in Daniel
7, believing they remained in reference to the Old Roman Empire, rather than in
truth to Revived Rome / UN / USA in dominion over the ten nations in the end
time. These interpretations extended from their failure to perceive the Split
at 3 and ˝ years, or in the midst of the 70th Week of Daniel 9. Plodding
on in the false assumption the whole 70th Week was SOMEHOW fulfilled;
they saw no place for the second ministry of Messiah to the Nation of Israel or
Jerusalem.
-
From that omission they apportioned most of Daniel 8 under the
Greek Empire once again projected too far and well into what was actually speaking
of the Old Roman Empire, as to the pollution of the sanctuary, when Israel took
Caesar as their king instead of Messiah, John
19:15. Using the Book of the Maccabees history they projected the
offering of a swine in the Holy of Holies in the Second Temple under the rule
of Antiochus Epiphanes, as being the puzzle piece concerning pollution of the
sanctuary of Israel’s strength, portrayed in Daniel 8 and Daniel 11. Once so adamant
on Daniel 9 being over and done by 70 CE, they were blinded in false assumption
entirely to the fact that the pollution of the sanctuary was NOT in the brass
of Daniel 2 or the Leopard of Daniel 7, but rather within the old Roman Empire
of strictly the iron, the fourth beast BEFORE the ten horns, ten kings, ten
nations, properly placed in the end time, were a factor. It is in old Rome, in
the crucifixion of Messiah, his rejection by Israel in preference for Caesar as
their king, that the abomination was placed and the daily sacrifice (Messiah
fulfilling same) was taken away, which pollution is removed in the return of
Messiah and Israel’s acceptance of him. This will be clarified in the exposure
of the truth as we proceed.
-
Daniel
11:1-4 Already Explained
But
Repeated Here for Continuity
-
1
Also I (Daniel) in the first year (539 BCE) of Darius the Mede (Lesser regent under Cyrus of
Persia, Cyrus arriving in Babylon in the fall season of 539 BCE), even I (Daniel), stood to confirm and to
strengthen him (Darius
the Mede, secondary ruler under the greater Cyrus of Persia)
-
As seen from Daniel 6 and the victorious manner in which Daniel
was delivered from the Lion’s Den in summer of 539 BCE, with Darius the Mede
additionally destroying Daniel’s enemies, Daniel stood with the kings of
Persia, being high in esteem and favor and position of influence in the
government. He was clear that the Zionist, contrived return to Jerusalem, ahead
and out of time, as well as in the wrong attitude and with Cyrus as a false
Messiah, was not to be followed according to Daniel 10:13, “… I remained there
with the kings of Persia.”
-
2
And now…
-
This is sometime after spring of 537 BCE. The 70 years of
Babylonian Captivity, probationary period of Lev
26:14-17, were finished. The attempt at a Cyrus Messiah, 70 literal weeks’
fulfillment of Dan
9:24-27 failed as of spring 537 BCE. There was no blessing resembling
Daniel 9:24 within spring Passover Week of 538 BCE, fall Tabernacles Week of
538 BCE, and finally spring Passover Week of 537 BCE. These were the three
weeks of Daniel’s mourning in Daniel
10:2. This was also the 21 days (3x7) of Daniel
10:13 that this attempt withstood Daniel’s objections to this return,
due to Israel not having repented and not understanding truth according to Daniel
9:13. Therefore, the statement, “And now…” means the first month on
the 24th day or 3rd day after spring Passover Week, Nisan
14/15 through Nisan 21, 537 BCE. It is at this time Daniel was answered by
Michael according to all of Daniel 10. The Seven Times more judgment of Lev
26:18 was now started March 18 / 19, Nisan 14 / 15,
Passover, 537 BCE.
The Daniel 11 record may have been recorded, or written, some years later,
although Daniel received his understanding from Michael, at this time just
stated, Nisan 24, 537 BCE.
-
Daniel 11:2
And
now will I
(Daniel)
shew thee (Israel) the truth (those things revealed by Michael to Daniel). Behold, there shall stand up yet (counting FROM summer of 539 BCE under lesser regent Darius the Mede,
according to verse one) three kings
in Persia (Cyrus the Great, fall 539
-530 BCE, Cambyses II, summer 530 – 522 BCE, Darius I or Darius the Great, fall
522 – 486 BCE, these are the 3 ribs in the mouth of the bear or Persian Empire
as depicted in Daniel 7 that came to its greatest strength, consuming the
three, under the fourth, Xerxes I or Xerxes the Great); and the fourth shall be far
richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up
all against the realm of Grecia.
(Xerxes I was the main Persian leader that went against Greece.)
-
3
And a mighty king (Greece,
Alexander the Great) shall
stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will (Alexander enters Babylon in
triumph in 333-331 BCE).
-
4
And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward
the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to
his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for
others beside those.
-
The four divisions after Alexander
died suddenly in 323 BCE, with no capable heir or posterity to take his place, were
basically the homeland of Greece, Asia Minor, Syria over to and including
Persia (Iran today), and Egypt, with small areas between these four shifting
under their control, and particularly Asia Minor. The dominate
generals were Antigonus, Lysimachus, Seleucus, and Ptolemy.
-
Cassander, dying in a war against the other three generals, Seleucus,
Lysimachus, and Ptolemy, yielded the result that Antigonus came to dominance,
took Greece proper and the northern area of Macedonia. Lysimachus took north
and west Asia Minor and Thrace which is north of Macedonia. Seleucus took East
Asia Minor, Syria, Mesopotamia, and Persia. Ptolemy took Egypt and south Asia
Minor. Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem were midway between the Ptolemaic Kingdom
of Egypt, the king of the south and the Seleucid Kingdom of Syria, the king of
the north prior to Rome entering the picture in verse 13, after the “certain
years,” 100 years of Maccabees Protectorate from 164 to 63 BCE. From 63 BCE,
invasion of Pompey, Rome became the major player as the king of the north.
-
The two kings of north and south respectively are the ones of interest due to
control of the Holy Land between the rivers Nile and Euphrates according to Genesis
15:18.
-
5 And the king of the south shall be strong, (Egypt) and one of his (Alexander’s) princes (Generals); and he (Ptolemy I) shall be strong above him (Alexander) and have dominion; his (Ptolemy I) dominion shall be a great
dominion.
-
Due to outliving Alexander,
Ptolemy I took over in the “south” or as “King of the South” and concentrated
on that area. Alexander simply conquered that area in his vast conquests and
moved on enlarging his kingdom until his death at the early age of 32. Ptolemy
the first, Ptolemy I, ruled in Egypt and strengthened his control there,
establishing a strong and lasting dynasty passed on to his heirs Ptolemy II,
followed by Ptolemy III, even unto Ptolemy XIV and finally Cleopatra VII,
daughter of Ptolemy XII. This is the Ptolemaic Kingdom. It was founded by
Ptolemy I, following the death of Alexander in 323 BCE and finally ended with
the death of Cleopatra VII, of Ptolemy lineage, and the Roman conquest and
victory of Caesar Augustus (also known as Octavian) in 30 BCE. It lasted from
Ptolemy I through and inclusive of Cleopatra VII about 293 years.
-
6 And in the end of years (45 / 44 BCE toward the end of the Ptolemaic Dynasty and Kingdom) they (King of the South, Egypt and
King of the North, Rome)
shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter of the south (Egypt, Cleopatra VII) shall come to the king of the
north (Rome,
Julius Caesar)
to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither
shall he stand, nor his arm (Julius
Caesar was assassinated in 44 BCE) : but she (Cleopatra
VII) shall be
given up, and they (Egypt)
that brought her, and he (Ptolemaic Dynasty or parentage) that begat her, and he (Mark Antony) that strengthened her in these
times.
-
Cleopatra, the king of the south
party that affected Jerusalem and the Holy Land between the rivers Nile and
Euphrates, originally ruled jointly with her father, Ptolemy XII Auletes, and
later her brothers, Ptolemy XIII and Ptolemy XIV, whom she married as per
Egyptian custom, but eventually she became sole ruler. As Pharaoh, she
consummated a liaison with Julius Caesar, the king of the north party that
affected Jerusalem and the Holy Land between rivers Nile and Euphrates. This arrangement
solidified her grip on the throne. After Julius Caesar’s assassination in 44
BCE, she aligned with Mark Antony in opposition to Caesar’s legal heir,
Octavian, later known as Caesar Augustus. After losing the Battle of Actium to
Octavian’s forces, Antony committed suicide. Cleopatra followed suit in 30 BCE.
Egypt became the Roman province of Aegyptus.
-
Before
Moving to Daniel 11: 7 – 13 Inclusive
Note
a Specific Way Prophecy Often Is Given
-
Isaiah 28:13-17
13
But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon
precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little;
that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14
Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people
which is in Jerusalem.
15
Because ye have said, we have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we
at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not
come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid
ourselves:
16
Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a
stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that
believeth shall not make haste.
17
Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the
hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the
hiding place.
-
It is important to see as just
quoted from Isaiah 28, the authority to interpret, called here the “foundation
stone,” brings the “line” and “plummet” that removes the “refuge of lies” or
spurious interpretations of scripture upon which false confidence, the
leadership of Israel, and prior to the finality today, even whole organizations
of religion were built, not being on that “foundation stone.” The “hail” and “waters” of truth “sweep away”
those false concepts by the ONE interpreting rightly the scripture, exposing
the falsehoods and establishing truth in its place. This, when compared with Daniel
10:21, should suffice to make the point to the reader as to Michael’s
authority. Additionally, it reveals just exactly that sweeping away being done
by this publication BABYLON IS FALLEN. It is like a spiritual machine
picking up the pieces of shattered eschatology from the main failing bulwarks
predominantly of Christendom. Proper eschatology can be established NOW in the
reader’s mind. In this manner, one’s perspective and bearings to Bible Events
and History is born again via that proper orientation and new foundation.
-
“Here
a Little and There a Little”
Often
the Same “Little” Expanded
-
Moreover, there is a vital point
we wish to make here, which is especially important in order to understand
prophecy, and in particular this chapter of Daniel: The term “then” CAN mean
“and afterward” or next in sequence, but in many cases, and again, in
particular with Daniel 11, it OFTEN means “at that same time.” We will
emphasize this as we move along. A few verses treat a period / era or subject.
Shortly after, it will return to that same period / era and subject with
another few verses giving more details that span over that same time. We have
seen where verse 5 began the brief history of 293 years from 323 BCE and the
death of Alexander and beginning of the Ptolemaic Dynasty and Kingdom of the
King of the South. In verse 6, we see the end of those years with the death of
Cleopatra and Mark Antony as Egypt becomes Aegyptus under Rome in 30 BCE. We
will find now, as we approach verse 7 through 13 inclusive, that Michael’s
answer to Daniel related to Israel via this written record of Daniel 11,
returns to this same period. It gives further details beginning with
Cleopatra’s roots, or the very beginning of the Ptolemaic Dynasty and Kingdom.
-
The
Secret Code of the Bible
-
In this manner as stated by Isaiah
28 above quoted, the scripture has been codified so that only one with the
mindset of the Writer of those verses can interpret. Daniel is relating what
Michael told him and gives that account to Israel via this record in the Book
of Daniel. Therefore, in that the initial writer, Michael, by his
dictation to Daniel gave that record, it follows that ONLY Michael would have
the mindset to give the interpretation. Those who have made haste and
assumed without authority, their concepts based upon Daniel, and most assuredly
Daniel 9 in particular, are thus proven to fall short when the one with that
“line” and “plummet” comes forth to rightly divide and place the puzzle pieces
by Divine Authority stated within those same scriptures such as, again, Daniel
10:21. This design of returning
to restate things already given, but with more details, begins with the same
time period just addressed in verses 5 and 6. We will note this process all
through Daniel 11, and point it out to the reader for clarity as we proceed
under Michael’s instruction.
-
Pieces
Properly Placed Is the Point
In
Any Jigsaw Puzzle, and So Much More So
With
Prophecies of the Bible and Daniel Specifically
-
The history we are considering,
which is the prophecy of the future given to Daniel by Michael, is also
recorded in archeology and the records kept by ancient to modern-day historians
that anyone can read and glean from a multitude of sources. This is especially
so with the worldwide internet and web, which has sources readily available
from the best of encyclopedias to recent finds current in the news. However,
the objective in interpreting prophecy CORRECTLY is to keep before us how those
puzzle pieces of history, verified by archeology, are matched to the picture on
the front of the box described by the prophetical, Bible record, and especially
the Book of Daniel. Again, only the one with the picture on the box showing the
completed jigsaw puzzle, separated into its various pieces which we can view
scattered on the assembly table, is capable of PROPERLY joining those pieces,
one to the other. Daniel
10:21 states the authority to perform that assembly. Thus, what we have
here in this presentation and publication is HIS assembly, Michael the Great
Prince, bringing before us the completed puzzle and therefore the picture on
the box.
-
It is not our purpose to give all sources
and quotes from the archeological history verified over decades.
Anyone can view that record for themselves and even more so today, even without
experience in document research. By entering any term into one’s web search
engine, they will find it yields a range of sources available to support what
we have used of archeology and secular recorded history within this publication.
It is only our purpose to put those pieces together to show their application
to Bible Prophecy. If the reader wants to do that examination of history and
archeology for himself, as we have done for this publication and presentation,
such is highly encouraged where they will see the clear match as presented here.
-
So,
It Is ALREADY Written, and so, It Comes to Pass
-
One of the prime keys to
understanding THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL
is this factor that all has been decided before it ever transpires. This
is true of the big picture and so shown to us in Bible Prophecy. It is the
paramount and primary witness that God controls all things by intelligent
design eliminating the concepts of random theory, freewill, making up our OWN
minds by choice, and other statements that falsely affirm self-determination.
They are all only expressions of an unenlightened and ignorant mind, lost in
the illusion of what one MAY perceive to be reality by human thought, which, in
turn, is based upon the perception of the five physical senses of sight,
hearing, smell, taste, and touch. However, as borne out by Bible Prophecy in
the big picture, all things are prewritten and transpire exactly as the Creator
has placed them and for His purpose.
-
Written
and then Performed.
-
A secular example of what we have
just stated is seen regarding a book that is finished, and all parts are
written. This THEN becomes the script of
a movie. As we watch that movie, it is easy to become enthralled with the
immediate events and actions entertaining us at that moment, affecting our
emotions and interest to the point that we laugh and even shed tears, if the
production is well acted out. However, it was prewritten, and everyone is
simply performing their lines from the predesigned script and full story
already decided in all aspects, before it is played out, thus bringing us to
the grand finale. Life is no different in that same respect from the remotest
parts of some anthill in the darkest jungle in Africa or the Amazon forests of
South America on to the acts of the next great, world leader recorded in
history. It is all preset like that picture on the jigsaw puzzle box and like
that movie script. It is only because we are temporarily lost in the meticulous
duties and mundane functions of our lives that we THINK, or are deluded into
believing, it is not prewritten, and we decided our own destiny. NOT SO!... and
Bible Prophecy is the main evidence of reality – that we are in God’s plan
according to schedule, and it is going according to His Will. Therefore, He
gives us glimpses of the future through the Bible Prophets, and then shows us
the events coming to pass that reveal this sobering truth versus the illusion of
freewill and self-determination of immature minds that have failed, as of yet,
to arrive to the full truth, THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL.

Daniel
11:7-13 Returns to Verses 5 and 6
-
Beginning with verse 7 through 13
inclusive, given as history of Cleopatra’s Roots, the account of Daniel deals
specifically with more defined areas with reference to control of Judea,
Samaria, and Jerusalem caught between the Seleucid Kingdom to the north and the
Ptolemaic Kingdom to the south. The details are as follows:
-
1)
King of the South dominance, Ptolemy I-IV, 323- 217 BCE, verses
7-11.
2)
From 217 BCE, decline of the Ptolemaic Kingdom or King of the South
ensued until dominance by the King of the North, verses 11 and 12.
3)
King of the North dominance, Seleucid Kingdom
or Antiochus III & IV 198-164 BCE until death of Antiochus IV, verse 12.
4)
Jewish partial rule under the Maccabees fills this apparent 100-year
gap between 164 BCE and 63 BCE. It is unaddressed by Daniel, with the exception
of the words, “after certain years,” stated in Daniel 11:13.
5)
As of 63 BCE Greater King of the North dominance of Rome under
General Pompey or Pompey the Great, later Julius Caesar around 45 BCE and later
yet, Caesar Augustus by 30 BCE from verse 13 onward, until re-identified again
as modern Syria in 1967 CE, one of the ten toes / nations that are part of the
Iron and Clay of Daniel 2, and one of the ten horns / nations in Daniel 7, that
area touching Canaan at the northern border being part of Revived Rome / UN
/USA according to Daniel 11:40-45.
-
7
But out of a branch of her
(king’s daughter of the south, Cleopatra VII) roots shall one stand up in his estate (Ptolemy I out of Egypt), which shall come with an army,
and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north (Seleucid Kingdom of Syria and
surrounding areas),
and shall deal against them, and shall prevail (Ptolemy I, became dominant ruler from south Asia Minor and Syria
unto and through Egypt, including Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem):
-
8
And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and
with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue MORE
YEARS than the king of the north. (As stated earlier, Ptolemaic Dynasty out lasted the Seleucid
Kingdom by 33 years from the beginning of Pompey’s takeover 63 BCE until Roman
final absorption of Egypt in 30 BCE with the defeat of Cleopatra VII, and Mark
Antony by Octavian / Caesar Augustus)
-
9
So the king of the south (Ptolemy
I) shall come into his (King of the North, Seleucid) kingdom, and shall return into his own land.
-
10
But his sons (Ptolemy
II – IV and chiefly III)
shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one (Ptolemy III) shall certainly come, and
overflow (Ptolemy
III went further than his fathers and established his hold even to areas of the
northeast in Babylon and north in Thrace), and pass through: then (during this same period) shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his (King of North, Seleucid) fortress.
-
11
And the king of the south
(Ptolemy III)
shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with
the king of the north:
-
From the words: “and one…” in
verse 10 above, to the words, “… the king of the north” in verse 11, is the
Third Egypt / Syrian War between the Seleucids of Syria and the Ptolemies of
Egypt, already briefly described in verse 10. The further details of that
invasion in verse 10 are: Just after taking over the kingdom from his father
Ptolemy II in 246 BCE, Ptolemy III’s sister, Queen Berenice, and her son were
murdered in a dynastic dispute. Ptolemy III marched triumphantly into the heart
of the Seleucid realm to the north, as far as Babylonia, while his fleets in
Aegean made fresh conquests as far north as Thrace.
-
and
he (King of the
North, Seleucid Kingdom began to strengthen under Antiochus III so that in 217
BCE…) shall set
forth a great multitude
(Antiochus III came against the much corrupted but still militarily capable
kingdom of Ptolemy IV reigning by this time in place of Ptolemy III after his
death in 221 BCE);
but the multitude shall be given into his (King of South, Ptolemy IV) hand.
-
Although Ptolemy IV decisively won
this battle, a decline in power ensued soon after. Beginning in 198 BCE, the
King of the North, Antiochus III, in alliance with others began to excel. Later
in 170 BCE, Antiochus IV took dominance in Judea, Samaria, and the Jerusalem
area. Antiochus IV, also called “Antiochus Epiphanes,” eventually entered and
subdued much of Egypt in 170 BCE according to our next verse as it states.
-
When we consider verse 12
immediately following this paragraph of comment, we will find the expression “cast down many ten thousands:
but he shall not be strengthened by it.” This is realized clearly in the
following record of history:
-
Rome told Antiochus IV /
“Epiphanes” to back off from further intrusion into Egypt or it would be
considered an act of war against Rome. He reluctantly agreed, not wanting to
take on Rome, and departed back through Judea and Jerusalem on his way home.
While he was busy in Egypt with his successful conquests there, until Rome told
him to “back off,” a rumor spread in Judea that he had been killed. The deposed
High Priest Jason gathered a force of one thousand soldiers and made a surprise
attack on the city of Jerusalem. The High Priest appointed by Antiochus IV, to
serve in place of the deposed Jason, Menelaus, was therefore forced to leave
Jerusalem during a riot. On Antiochus IV’s return from Egypt in 167 BCE,
enraged by this rebellion, he attacked Jerusalem and restored Menelaus. He
proceeded in his rage to execute forty thousand Jews, including women and
children, and exiled another forty thousand. This served no military purpose
and did not strengthen his hold in any respect. He died of disease in 164 BCE.
His rule was replaced from 164 – 63 BCE in this area by the Jewish family, the Maccabees.
-
12
And when he
(Antiochus IV, also called Antiochus Epiphanes) hath taken away the multitude (conquered even to the overrun of Egypt), his heart shall be lifted up;
and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he
shall not be strengthened by it (This
is the slaughter when returning to Judea as described above).
-
13
For the king of the north shall return (The only King of the North that returned after Antiochus IV,
particularly with a greater multitude than the former invasion by Antiochus IV,
was indeed Rome),
and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly
come after certain years with a great army and with much riches (This “after certain years” would
be from the death of Antiochus IV and the takeover by the Maccabees rule in 164
BCE until full invasion by General Pompey of Rome one hundred years later in 63
BCE).
-
Daniel
8 in coordination with Daniel 11
Again,
the Broad Brush and then the Finer Details
-
As we have stipulated earlier,
Daniel 2, 7, and 8 give the broader parameters of the Seven Times of the
Gentiles of Leviticus
26:18-39. Daniel 2 and 7 start with the Babylonian Kingdom, which is NOT
part of the Seven Times of the Gentiles, but is rather identified in Leviticus
26:14-17, as the 70 years of probationary judgment from 607 to 537 BCE
detailed further in Jeremiah
25:1-11 and Jeremiah 29:10-14. Upon failing that test, as we
see from Daniel
9:13, Seven Times more judgment began in spring of 537 BCE and ran
until spring 1984 CE as 7 x 360 or 2520 years. Daniel 8, as in Daniel 11,
starts with this Seven Times more judgment, under the Medo-Persian Empire,
beginning in spring 537 BCE with the answer to Daniel from Michael in Daniel 10
and carried forward in the details given of that answer in Daniel 11.
-
Solidifying
Daniel 11:1-13 in Time
-
We have arrived at the end of
verse 13, of Daniel 11. We have the King of North being the Old Roman Empire
entering Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem at this point in 63 BCE, where we begin
another description of history, although prophetically given to Daniel ahead of
time here in Daniel 11. We will see this period, from the entry of Rome in 63
BCE under General Pompey, is given a number of times, FOUR to be precise, just
like we saw done twice above with the Ptolemy Dynasty of verses 5 and 6 repeated
again in verses 7-13 as being the same period in history and same events, but
with more details given in the second address.
-
As we stated earlier, we will move to our consideration of Rome from 63 BCE
starting with the invasion under Pompey. We will again be referring to the
chart and building upon our three previous blocks of time, already considered,
by adding a fourth building block of Ancient Rome or the Old Roman Empire. There
are FOUR renditions or accounts, beginning with Daniel 11:14, that expand the
details, in the second through the fourth, over and above that given starting
in verse 14, each increasing the clarity of that empire’s control over the Holy
Land and the people of Israel, from the time of Rome’s entry as the king of the
north under general Pompey in 63 BCE until the destruction of Jerusalem on to
Masada within the Roman campaign headed by general Titus defeating the 66-72 CE
Zionist rebellion against Rome.
-
Epiphany of Error – Misplacing
Antiochus Epiphanes
-
As we mentioned earlier, one of
the most blinding errors that God has put upon the Book of Daniel, in the minds
of those who have attempted to open its sealed contents out of time
prematurely, not being the one authorized to so enter for said interpretation, is
the gross misplacement of Antiochus Epiphanes or Antiochus IV and his history
within the statements and record of Daniel 11. Without belaboring the point,
thus adding pages here of those attempts and where they went wrong, we simply
say that Antiochus IV is erroneously interpreted much later in the record of
Daniel 11 and specifically Daniel 11:31. Not perceiving the major change in
Daniel 11:13 “after certain years,” a misguided interpretation of Daniel
11:1-12, by false interpretation, extends the Greek Empire into descriptions rendered
in verse 13 onward. They do not belong to verses 13 forward. After verses
12-13, this scenario presented is strictly and properly placed within the Old
Roman Empire.
-
Messiah’s Rejection for Caesar is the Point, NOT a pig in the Holy of
Holies:
-
This gross misappropriation, and false allocations of history, produces a
muddled mess of the entire record of Daniel 11. Within that infraction is the
main error of emphasis on Daniel 11:31, falsely portrayed in interpretation as being
Antiochus IV. It is stated to be when he entered Jerusalem and offered a pig in
idolatry in the Holy of Holies in the rebuilt, or second temple. From that
blunder, it went into total obliteration of any clear record aligning with a
proper allocation of history and archeology with the Bible record of Daniel 11.
Michael, of Daniel 10:21, through this publication in the author’s record and
witness, will reveal the explicit history and record to align with the Seven
Times of the Gentiles of Lev
26:18-39, Luke 21:24, and Rom 11:25-27, bringing us from 537 BCE to 1984
CE. This will position us in current times as he gave it to Daniel in 537 BCE,
well ahead of time.
-
Main
Point of “Here a Little and There a Little”
-
In that we have made a major point
of the presentation of the Bible and the Word of the Lord from Isaiah 28 being
given “here a little and there a little” with evidence of same from Daniel 11,
as we will continue to reveal, we must also be sure and show the MAIN PLACE the
“here a little and there a little” is true – certainly its main point of
reference – the Messiah Ministry. In so
doing, we will give the MAIN PURPOSE behind it, beyond just codification for
only one to interpret. It is Daniel
9:24-27, in the split 70th Covenant Confirmation Week, which
specifically and narrowly fulfills Isaiah 28.
-
Isaiah 28:9-14
9
Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine?
them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the
breasts.
10
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line
upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11
For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this
people.
12
To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and
this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
13
But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon
precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little;
that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
-
Via “stammering lips” one has
repetition of something stated before. “Another tongue” is speech from another
understanding. The manifestation of Messiah fulfills these things exactly.
First, as we have pointed out and will continue to point out, the Holy Spirit
is the mindset of Messiah. When one is fully in Christ as the Apostle Paul for
example, he has the mind of Christ - the mindset of Messiah - the fullness of
the Holy Spirit. This is “another tongue” or different viewpoint of life and
understanding, seeing things from God’s viewpoint, being lifted up to sit in
heavenly places according to Ephesians
2:1-10. One then so speaks from a thought process and mindset the
opposite from Adam’s or the carnal mind, “self-determination, freewill,”
generating the illusion we have our own choice which God does not control at
all. Rather one thinks and speaks with another tongue, from the thought process
found in THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL, that which comes from the clear foundation
that God is doing all we think, say, and act out. Here our orientation is to understand and
learn from God direct, knowing it is HE THAT IS DOING IT ALL. This is the
divine spiritual mind as opposed to the carnal mind.
-
Why
This Formula?
-
Notice it is “precept upon
precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little
and there a little.” Why this formula? The reason is clear when
comparing it with Daniel’s 70th Week properly interpreted and
understood.

Divine truth and revelation were
ordained to be given through Messiah in a split ministry
directly pictured here in Isaiah 28 in comparison with Daniel
9:24-27 to Israel. This is also seen in Leviticus
23 and its spring and fall Holy Days where Joel
2:23 specifies blessing during the early and latter rains of the
spring and fall harvest, James
5:7-8. Additionally, we have, according to Leviticus
16, atonement started by the High Priest entering into the Holy of
Holies, but COMPLETELY finished only upon coming out and performing the
“scapegoat” ritual. However, this two-part structuring of the Law and the
Prophets is by design and purpose which gives access to the “strangers” or the “Gentiles”
by the way of the rejection of Messiah, in that those of physical and national
Israel stumbled at the stumbling stone, the Messiah. This is the One with the
“line and plummet” of understanding and interpretation - the foundation upon
which the Israel of God was to be forever founded. Hence, Leviticus
23:22, between the spring harvest and the fall harvest, but still part
of the overall spring harvest, is the clear place in the Law of Moses for that
Gentile / Stranger access according to Romans
9-11 and Ephesians 2.

Entering
In and Coming Out
Two
Appearances of the High Priest of Leviticus 16
-
First of all, there was the
“precept upon precept – line upon line” – “HERE a little” given in the First
Ministry of Messiah in fall 26-spring 30 CE.
Israel, through its leadership blinded to Messiah due to being under the
Times of the Gentiles already since 537 BCE, rejected Messiah and for 1954
years from 30 CE, the Gentiles experienced access to the Holy Spirit according
to the Covenant of Promise designated for Israel, as given in Leviticus
23:22, Ephesians 2 and Romans 9-11. Both, the Seven Times of the
Gentiles of Israel’s judgment / blindness for 2520 years from 537 BCE to 1984
CE, as well as the smaller time span WITHIN those Seven Times, the Age of Grace
of 1954 years, granting Gentile access to the Covenant of Promise of the Holy
Spirit, from 30 CE to 1984 CE ended. It was THEN simultaneously, the “precept
upon precept” – “line upon line” – “…THERE a little,” Last or Second Ministry
of Messiah from spring 1984 – fall 1987 CE began. This initiated the final
sequence to bring the Final Judgment and revelation of all mysteries according
to Daniel
12:7 and Revelation 10:7. That revelation and its timings
are on this website:
-
Time
Chart: Adam to Second Coming of Messiah
-
It contains all the timings that
are needed for clear understanding, of which this document, BABYLON IS
FALLEN, is further explanation. However, these things were not apparent,
publicly sounding, until the events that proceed from 1987 ran their course.
That “course,” as we will later reveal, is called in the first events from Dec
3, 1987, “the judgment shall sit,” proceeding to Sep 17-2022, the very final
events, the “Last End of the Indignation” between God and Israel, bringing her
to repentance and receiving Messiah and proper government at last. That is
marked by all nations against her attempting to take the Holy Temple Mount from
her for the THIRD TIME, Ezek
21-24-27, 586 BCE, 70 CE, and today, where Messiah is her only remedy
to secure it finally according to Zech
14 and Rev 16:17-21.
-
In
summary of Isaiah 28
-
Therefore, in summary of the
understanding of Isaiah
28, we have the broad concept of “here a little
and there a little” of codification well represented in Daniel 11 repeating the
same thing over and over, but with more details, causing many to assume a
progression in time or a change in origin when it is not that at all, but
rather a restatement with said “more details.” In the Book of Revelation, there
are repeated renditions of the exact same thing and setting, restating
something again that looks like a different picture altogether, when it is
actually only stating the same scenario another way in different signs,
symbols, and metaphors.
-
In the narrow and specific understanding
of “HERE A LITTLE,” it is directly fulfilled in Messiah and his First Ministry
of the First Half of Daniel’s 70th Week from 26-30 CE, followed 1954
years later by his Last or Second Ministry of the Second or Last Half of
Daniel’s 70th Week from 1984 to 1987. This Last Half, or “THERE A
LITTLE,” transpired AFTER both the Times of the Gentiles and the Age of Grace simultaneously
ended. In this manner, the wisdom of the wise is brought to confusion. This left
all subjected to only ONE, Messiah, to interpret and deliver Israel and all of
mankind in the Time of the End. Here is that diagram again to close out Chapter
6.

Following
the Progression Correctly
-
As we close out Chapter 6, we
again emphasize Isaiah 8:20 which states that all enlightened interpretation is
based upon first the Law and then the Testimony to it in the subsequent
Prophets that prophesied after the giving of the Law. The three main
considerations are:
-
1. In
Leviticus
26, we have the judgment of Seven Times more.
2. In
Leviticus
23, we see the two sets of Holy Days of the spring and the fall.
3. In
Leviticus
16, we observe the two ministries of the High Priest of entering in
for blood atonement covering sin and then coming out for full removal of sin.
-
This is all within the Law or the
Torah. We then move to the Testimony to this in the Prophets. Isaiah 28, written
around the time of Kings Ahaz and Hezekiah in 740s BCE shows the division
critical as to structure of the Ministries of Messiah as above just given. We
finally find ourselves about 200 years later in 539 BCE moving to Ezra Decree
in 458 BCE for the proper interpretation of Daniel’s 70th Week and
its division and timing with 3 and ˝ years on either side of the Age of Grace in
fall 26 – spring 30 CE and then spring 1984 – fall 1987 CE.
-
Notice
the Methodical and Logical Construction
-
Leviticus sets the foundation in
the Law. Isaiah further qualifies that foundation with structure, “here a
little and there a little,” where Daniel specifies the timing of that structure’s
building and development. The progression is verified by what proceeds before
it, and qualified by what comes after it. Its finality is found in Messiah
fulfilling it all, whereby blessing comes to mankind accordingly. We will later
find this is mandatory in order to fully understand the expression “temple” in
Malachi, the “temple in heaven” in Revelation, and “the temple of God” in II
Thessalonians 2. Intelligence in the Law and the Prophets dictates explicitly the
“temple of God” is Messiah, John
2:18-22, the spiritual Ark of the
Covenant from where God speaks, present, on the ground by prewritten Holy
Script, fulfilling the 70th Week of Daniel
9:24-27, the time period during which Messiah
ministers, and NOT a literal building of a physical nature. Entering into the
proper understanding of that time period added to all the revelations of truth
that proceed from it in Messiah manifested in his appearing publicly, one only THEN
full enters the temple.
-
More
Nails in the Preterist’s
And Dispensationalist’s Coffin
-
It is Isaiah 28, taken with Daniel
9, properly interpreted, and fulfilled by Messiah, that again defeats
Dispensationalism’s view of a completed 70th Week in a satanic
covenant at the end time, as well as Preterism’s view of a completed 70th
Week at the time of Christ’s First Ministry. “Here a little and there a
little,” is ONLY answered in the divided 70th Week under the proper
interpretation from “he who’s right it is” to render instruction, as emphasized
all through this publication, Michael the Great Prince, according to Daniel
10:21 and Daniel 12:1-7, the direct mentor and beloved
friend, as well as spiritual elder brother of the author of this publication.
