We
have introduced a Matrix / Chart in Chapter 6 that compares Daniel 2, 7, 8 and
11, from the aspect of the Gentile Kingdoms (Empires) that intruded into the
Land of Abraham. They took control of Jerusalem, in particular, with the broader
borders being the rivers Nile and Euphrates, Gen
15:18, Isa 19:23-25. In Chapters 6-7, to help with elementary understanding, in order
to follow the chart, we also slowly constructed the chart. We added another era
in time, or area with a new Black Stripe, with each address of Israel’s history
since the Babylonian Captivity, which began in 607 BCE. We will NOW abandon the
building process, believing the reader has learned how it is constructed, and
should be able to follow along. Therefore, we will use only the full Matrix /
Chart, presented once in the beginning of each chapter
for the reader’s reference. We continue now, from 63 BCE and the invasion and
conquest of Roman General Pompey forward, in four repetitive presentations of
the Roman Empire. There were three exposited in Chapter 7, Daniel 11:14-16,
repeated in Daniel 11:17-19, repeated in Daniel 11:20-30a-b, each one building
with added details. Those have taken us from the reign of the Herods, into the
time of Messiah’s First Ministry in 26-30 CE, ending in the 70 CE destruction.
-
We now will give an exposition of Daniel 30c through 35, the 4th rendition
of 63 BCE - 70 CE. Of course, this will
later move us past verse 35, ending around 70 CE, to then consider when Israel
returns to the land again. Still in unbelief of Messiah’s First Ministry, fall
26 – spring 30 CE, Israel emerges as a nation, May 14, 1948, which is depicted
from verse 36 through Daniel 12:13. There, we have the consummation, and all
involved in the time of the end with Revived Rome / UN and Messiah’s Last (Final)
Ministry to Israel in spring 1984 – fall 1987 CE. Here, we will be addressing
the final of the four presentations of Old Rome, enlarging upon many more
details that exist. They are over and above the three previous presentations of
Old Rome, and the time of the First Ministry of Messiah handled in our Chapter
7. We use the “our chapter” connotation to distinguish this publication from
the chapter designations of the Bible.

Summarizing
Chapters 6-7, we addressed the history of the entry of the Roman Empire in 63
BCE under Pompey. It moved to Julius Caesar in 48-45 BCE, which of course was
prophecy of the future to Daniel, as recorded by him for Israel in the Book of
Daniel. As far as details are concerned using the narrow brush, we painted the picture
in Daniel 11. This took us to the time of Messiah’s First Ministry, fall 26 –
spring 30 CE, through the First Half fulfillment of the 70th Week of
Daniel 9. The 70 CE destruction of Jerusalem under Roman General Titus ended
that presentation. We saw that according to Daniel 11:14-30 a-b, there was repetition
for a total of three entries in those verses. The era of 63 BCE
to the Herod Dynasty, then to Messiah’s Ministry, and to the ministry of his
Apostles was prophesied. A fourth entry, which we will soon
consider concerning this time, runs from Daniel 11:30c through 35.
-
Two Distinct Groups:
-
First: The Faithful Remnant
-
The
main thing that appeared in that analysis was the division in the people of the
Covenant with God, Israel, in two parties. One was the “upright ones,”
also known throughout the scriptures as the faithful remnant. Daniel was one of
those. They stood firm with the Covenant of God, honoring God’s Sovereignty and
Messiah as their physical Prince and Deliverer. They were there with the other
group, persecuted by that other group for their faithfulness. They would not
succumb to the deception offered by the Gentile foreign power over the Holy
Land. This was Rome at the time of Messiah’s First Ministry.
-
Second: Transgressors of the Covenant - Zionists
-
The
other group was the “robbers of thy (Daniel’s) people.” They
were descendants of the Zionists from the time of THE CYRUS DECEPTION, returning again in later generations. This fresh
crop stood against Messiah and the Covenant by their improper methods, timings,
and Machiavellian tactics. Violating the Law and the Prophets, they CLAIMED
they were dedicated to fulfilling them. The difference in the time of Messiah’s
First Coming, fall 26 – spring 30 CE, as opposed to the earlier time of Cyrus
of Persia in 539 BCE, was that they had evolved. They morphed from persuading a
Gentile King that he was the Messiah to deliver them, as we saw in our Chapter
4 . . . to a collective messiahship. Composed of the Sanhedrin, which was a
composite of the Chief Priests, Scribes, Pharisees, Sadducees, and the elite of
the people ruling over the remainder of the multitude, this hierarchy was in
administration, dispensing supposed blessing through the Temple Worship in
Jerusalem. According to John
11:45-53 and John 19:15, they had sold out to Rome in a corrupt
league, for the purpose of prosperity, basically under the Herod Dynasty. It
reached its peak with the rejection of Messiah publicly on April 3, Nisan 14,
Wednesday, 30 CE, turning him over to Rome to be crucified. They declared they
had no king but Caesar. This is depicted in the prophecy of Daniel, entering
Daniel 8.
-
The Last and Fourth Restatement of
the Era
From the Time of the Herod Dynasty,
With More Details Concerning
Messiah,
Coordinating Daniel 11:30c-35 with
Daniel 8
-
Beginning
with Daniel 11:30c:
-
he (King of the North, Rome) shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake
the holy covenant
-
The success of Roman conquest, in many
cultures across the empire, was largely due to absorption of those cultures
into Roman dominance of the areas conquered. This allowed those nations to
continue in relative peace with Rome, paying taxes thereto. The general
populace was largely appeased. Some were even happy, concerning this Roman
influence, which improved life, versus the quality of life before Rome. Therefore,
this was a form of seduction, and no less than in Samaria, Judea, and the center
of Israel’s existence, Jerusalem. The Zionists and leaders of the Pharisees, as
well as the Sadducee’s control of the Priesthood, according to Acts 4-5, succumbed
to this seduction. They worked with Rome for the prosperity of both sides, as
seen in the Herod Dynasty.
-
31 And arms shall stand on his (Rome’s) part, and they (Zionist and Sanhedrin leadership)
shall pollute the sanctuary of
strength
(publicly give allegiance to Rome, and their league with Rome for dominance, or
rule over Jerusalem)
-
and shall take away the daily sacrifice (crucify Messiah), and they
shall place the abomination that makes desolate (stand firmly and publicly with Rome, giving allegiance to Rome /
Caesar, against Messiah).
-
The
leaders of Israel, Chief Priests, and Scribes prevailed upon the majority of
the people and Rome’s Pontius Pilate to crucify Messiah, declaring they had no
king but Caesar, according to John
19:15. This ended Messiah’s public testimony, witness, and ministry
from him personally to Israel. It awaited his return in the Second Coming,
completely fulfilling ALL of Daniel’s 70th Week, in the Last Half.
We note the words of Messiah over Jerusalem concerning his rejection:
-
Matthew
23:37-39
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou
that kills the prophets, and stones them which are sent unto
thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen
gathers her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38 Behold, your house is left unto
you desolate.
39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till (UNTIL) ye
shall say, blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.
-
As
stated in Dan
9:26-27, after 3 and 1/2 years of the 70th Week, Messiah was
cut off. Any further public witness to Israel was a forty-year period from the spring
of 30 CE, until the destruction in 70 CE, carried out by Jesus’ disciples, then
called Apostles.
-
Messiah Must Be Physically Present
-
These
40 years of witness were carried out by the Apostles, without Messiah’s
physical presence. The key to remember always, which
those of Preterism missed . . . Messiah MUST BE PERSONALLY AND PHYSICALLY
PRESENT TO FULFILL THE LAST HALF OF THE COVENANT WEEK. It was not
fulfilled by his Apostles, nor completed by the stoning of Stephen in Acts 7,
nor by the 70 CE destruction of Jerusalem. Notice also, there is
no finality to Jesus’ statement. Rather, it is an open-ended one, leaving the
conclusion of the matter at:
-
Luke 13:39
“Ye shall not see me henceforth, till (UNTIL) ye shall say, blessed
is he that comes in the name of the Lord.”
-
Daniel 11:32
And such as do wickedly against
the covenant shall he (Rome) corrupt by flatteries:
-
(Pilate / Rome solidifies and strengthens
the league with the Zionists, by doing their bidding
in killing Messiah)
-
but the people (faithful
of the Covenant)
that do know their God (that
accepted Messiah) shall
be strong and do exploits.
-
(The believers in Messiah grow in
numbers in Jerusalem and preach, thus spreading the word to surrounding areas,
as depicted in the Book of Acts)
-
33 And they that understand (Apostles of Christ) among the people shall instruct
many (Believers
that accepted the Apostles’ message): yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity,
and by spoil, many days.
-
As
recorded in the Book of Acts, the believers were followed everywhere by the
religious Zionists, in opposition to the Apostle’s message. They were the core
of the leadership of Israel, and therefore carried the
demise of the nation with them. They persecuted the believers, as seen in Acts
7 with the stoning of Stephen. Many believers were put in jail, as seen with
Saul of Tarsus, before his conversion. He brought people from as far as
Damascus, Syria, back to Jerusalem, for trial and punishment before the
Sanhedrin. This leadership feared for their existence, according to John
11:45-53, with respect to their league with Rome, the rule of the Temple
and influence in Jerusalem, afforded them by Rome.
-
However,
after 70 CE, and down through history, expressed here as “many days,” the
believers were persecuted and slain by Rome and derivative governments. They
persecuted and executed not only Christians in the days of the Roman Coliseum,
but many faithful Jews in later years with Christians. They were holding to
their measure of truth, that would not allow them to bow (acquiesce) to the
claims of Rome, political or religious. This is vivid in history, as seen in
the Spanish Inquisition under Torquemada. Many were tortured and killed, unless
they succumbed to a forced conversion to the religion of Rome.
-
34 Now when they (faithful of the Covenant, eventually
called Christians) shall
fall, they shall be holpen with a little help (due to Apostle Paul’s ministry to the Gentiles): but many shall cleave to them
with flatteries.
-
Zionists in league with Rome to rule and lead, as previously
identified, were so much the case, that upon the insurrection against Rome,
many Christians had joined the Zionist move for independence. They failed to
heed Paul’s warning in II
Thess 2, that the Day of Christ, Messiah’s victory of the final days, WAS
NOT AT HAND. They had NOT arrived, “at the time appointed,” Dan
8:23-25; 11:29.
-
35 And some of them of
understanding (Chiefly,
the original Apostles were martyred) shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white (show that they had held true, and
were not deceived into the Zionist move), even to (with
respect to) the
time of the end: because IT IS YET FOR A TIME APPOINTED.
-
Like
Daniel himself, relaying this message and answer of Michael unto Israel, those
that stood the test, even to the loss of their physical life, would stand in
their lot finally at the end time. They would be justified to stand as they
did, when the final analysis is rendered from “he whose right it is,” at
“the time appointed.” Here, we have “the time appointed” mentioned
again, a projection to a future time, when the oppression of the righteous
would cease. Only then would their vindication be apparent, stated in Daniel
12:1-7 as, “And at that time shall Michael the Great Prince stand up,” moving
further to “and at that time, thy (Daniel’s people, national Israel),
shall be delivered.”
-
Christianity of Today:
A Form of Godliness,
Denying the Power thereof
-
Since
the death of the Apostles, and the early Christians as well, the majority of
the movement of Christianity, other than the outward trappings that remained,
became a form of godliness, but denied the power thereof. This is well
represented in the Apostle Paul’s summary of the religious body of the last
days in II
Timothy 3:1-13. It became the same as Judaism before it, believing no longer in
the Sovereignty of God, but rather in freewill, the concept of God only knowing
what men do and allowing for such. They denied the direct control of the
Sovereignty of God.
-
Leaving the Law and the Prophets behind in a secondary category, they began to
privately interpret the New Testament. Many spurious doctrines, void of support
from the Old Testament, some of which we have handled earlier, have been
perpetrated upon the people by the clergy. By the end time, basically from
literalism, denying the spiritual truth found from adhering to the Law and the
Prophets, we have had fables, fantasy, and fiction replacing truth and meaning,
as stated by Paul in
-
II
Timothy 4:3-4
3 For the time will come when they
will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to
themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their
ears from the truth and shall be turned unto fables.
-
With
no true manifestation in purity of the original understanding of the Apostles
being present, there is no mention of the faithful to Messiah from this point
in Daniel’s narrative, until Michael stands up, Dan
12:1-4.
-
Willful
King of Daniel 11:36-45,
Little
Horn Subduing Three of Ten of Daniel 7:24-27,
King
of Fierce Countenance of Daniel 8:23-25,
Realized
within the Zionist State,
Empowered
by Revived Rome / UN:
-
For
the remainder of Daniel 11, from verse 36, we have corresponding verses in
Daniel 7 and Daniel 8. Daniel 11:36-39 gives a very clear description of the
Willful King, the final Zionist movement and mindset, supported by the final
Christian world. In 1947 / 48, they returned to the Holy Land between the
rivers Nile and Euphrates, taking the Holy Mount and Jerusalem in 1967. This
begins in verse 36, continuing to its demise in verse 45. It is based upon the
same trust in the god that the fathers of the faithful, such as Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob, did NOT know. In its simplest form, this false god is as
we have stated all through this publication. It is a league of the leadership
over the people with a foreign power, endeavoring to effectuate the Promise of
Redemption and the Kingdom of God, through their Machiavellian efforts. It is
an alternate approach, in opposition to the times and
laws stipulated within the Law and the Prophets (OT). Ironically, this is the very
scripture they are endeavoring to fulfill.
-
At the time of the end, this power is the Revived Roman Empire of
the United Nations, controlling the 10
Arab kings / horns / nations in the Holy Land. It is
portrayed in the image of Daniel 2, as the Iron of Rome and the Clay of the
Patriarchal Arab kings / nations in the feet and toes. Its chief constituent,
the USA, prime supporter of the Zionist State, embodies the same Roman
two-party democracy headed up by an emperor. In more modern times, that
component is an elected president, rather than an emperor. Revived Rome / UN is
emulated and imitated by the Zionist State, using primarily its chief
constituent the USA. As stated here in Daniel 11, it serves and operates by the
god of force and deceit to accomplish THEIR WILL, as they perceive it. However,
it is contrary to the timings, methods, and dependence on God in obedience,
prescribed by the very Law and Prophets, that they erroneously claim they are
fulfilling.
-
It
is, of course, the same league of Zionists, riding atop the Gentile world, REVIVED
from the death of 70 CE. Since entering the Holy Land, through UNGA Resolution
181, 1947 / 48 CE, it continues to deceive the world to aid in its
formation, to support its actions, until its demise. At that time, none will
help, as stated in Daniel 11:45, as Michael stands up with the truth and
message of deliverance, bringing enlightenment in The Resurrection of Daniel
12.
-
Aligning Daniel 11:31 with Daniel 8:13-14
-
In
our chapter 8, we will return to Daniel 11:31, at the time of Messiah’s First
Ministry. We will take a coordinated look at Daniel 8:13-14, establishing some
key factors for making later connections to Daniel 12. After the exposition and
connection between Daniel 8:13-14 and Daniel 11:31, we will close our Chapter 8.
In our Chapter 9, we will set our sights upon the comparison of Daniel
11:36-45, Daniel 7:24-27, and Daniel 8:23-27, on the way to Daniel 12. There,
we have the fulfillment of the Last Half of the Covenant Week, whereby the deliverance Michael brings can be declared.
-
Pollution of the
Sanctuary
Countdown to the Cleansing
Daniel 8:9-14
-
We
will be redundant at this juncture, repeating some of what we have said before,
that is necessary for flow and continuing with clarity. Moving on to Daniel 8,
the Roman Empire entered the picture in 63 BCE.
-
Daniel
8:8-9
8 Therefore the he goat (Alexander the Great and the
Grecian Empire) waxed very great: and when
he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones (Four Generals split up the Empire, after
Alexander’s death in 323 BCE) toward
the four winds of heaven.
-
The
Four Generals passed their kingdoms on to later generations. There are two of
our interests, due to their relation to Jerusalem. To the north, there was the
Seleucid, King of the North, based out of Syria. The other was to the south, the
Ptolemaic, King of the South, based out of Egypt. They were in control of the
Holy Land between the rivers Nile and Euphrates.
-
9 And out of one of them (one of the four horns) came forth a little horn, which
waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the
pleasant land.
-
“OUT
of one of them,” the regions and descendants of one of the Four Generals,
specifically one to the north and west, outside of the Holy Land, eventually “came
forth.” This was the rise of the Roman Empire, which grew in strength
toward the south, where it eventually conquered Egypt by 30 BCE, and consumed
most of the Middle East. It invaded the “pleasant land” or Holy Land,
Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem under Roman General Pompey, 63 BCE. This was taken
over entirely by the time of Julius Caesar, in 48 to 45 BCE, when he defeated
Pompey in a Roman clash for power.
-
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.
-
Political Zionism Rears Its Head
Once Again,
Usurping the Place of Messiah,
Forming the League with the Old
Roman Empire:
-
As
stated above in Daniel 8:10, the Roman Empire was able to extend its influence
and greatness, “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.” This is the intervention of Rome, a party
outside of the Holy Land, by conquest. Added to the literal conquest, we have
the ability of this Roman party to bring certain factions under its influence.
It was a seduction by force over “some” of the stars, or some of Israel, a
metaphor made clear by reading the Law and the Prophets, and specifically:
-
Genesis
37:9-11
9
And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his
brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and,
behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
10
And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and
his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast
dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy
brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
11
And his brethren envied him; but his father observed
the saying.
-
The
ready ground of operation, around the loose interpretation of the Law of Moses,
was superseded by the eagerness of the Zionists. They wanted to return at any
cost, at the time of Daniel, in the Cyrus Deception,
pseudo-Messiah move of 539-537 BCE. By the time of
Rome’s takeover from 63 BCE forward, this produced the same crop. They were
willing to rule in a coalition method in league with Rome. The end in view
justified, in their minds, any means to that end. It is called
“Machiavellianism.” It is the principal characteristic of the Zionist faction,
at any era of time in the general population of Israel. It failed miserably
earlier in 537 BCE, and brought the Seven Times of the Gentiles, Lev
26:18, firmly upon Israel.
-
Now Let Us Consider the Further
Departure from Truth
-
From
63 BCE, reaching its full strength by the time of Messiah’s public ministry in fall
26 – spring 30 CE, some of the stars are cast to the ground and stamped upon. They
leave their first estate, in heaven, or in proper understanding and allegiance
to The Covenant. Here, Daniel and the faithful remnant stood firm and
unmovable. The “some stars” that are “cast to the ground,” are subservient to
the Roman power, by the way of forming a corrupt league. This was for rule and
influential sway over the people, and the Temple Worship in Jerusalem. It even
went as far as Rome appointing the High Priest Caiaphas. He is mentioned by
name in John 11. We find the result in verse 11 of Daniel 8.
-
11 Yea, he (Rome) magnified himself even to the
prince of the host,
-
(Messiah, Michael the Great Prince
of Dan 10:21 and 12:1-4, Jesus Christ of John 5:24-29)
-
and by him
-
(Rome, in particular Pontius Pilate,
swayed by the Zionists that considered Messiah a threat, according to John 11:45-53)
-
the daily sacrifice
-
(Messiah is the fulfillment of sacrifice and offering, according to I Sam 15:22, Psalms 40:6-8, and
Heb 10:1-10)
-
was taken away,
-
(Messiah was rejected by Israel in
30 CE. The leadership of Israel named Caesar of Rome as their king in John 19:15.)
-
and the place of the sanctuary
-
(Jerusalem, and the Temple in
particular) was
cast down.
-
(Rome, again under Titus of Rome
in 70 CE, destroyed Jerusalem, and obliterated the Temple)
-
The Important Spiritual
Counterpart:
-
Although
this was quite literal, concerning the “place” of the sanctuary, in that it was
physically cast down in the destruction of 70 CE, we must keep in mind the
spiritual counterpart. The Sanctuary of Israel is their Covenant
relationship with their Creator, respecting His Sovereignty and rule over them.
By
this league with (and dependence upon) a foreign power, the Sanctuary of their
strength is polluted in a definitive action, public, whereby the truth is cast
down to the ground. Rejection of the Messiah, for the league with the
foreign power of Rome, specifically on Wednesday, April 3, Nisan 14, 30 CE,
Preparation Day, according to John
19:15, formally
and publicly gave their allegiance to Caesar, Emperor of Rome, as their king.
This was the very time they were to recognize Messiah, he whom God had sent
within the Covenant Confirmation 70th Week, with the deliverance
offered in Dan
9:24.

stated in Luke 23:13-38)
-
was given him (Rome
/ Caesar)
against (in
opposition to)
the daily sacrifice
-
(Messiah is the fulfillment of
sacrifice and offering, according to I Sam 15:22, Psalms 40:6-8, and
Heb 10:1-10)
-
by reason of transgression
-
The Zionists are this host (portion) of
Israel that were given to Rome against Messiah. This was because they left The
Covenant and violated the Law of Moses. Thus, “by reason of transgression,” they
formed (went head-long into) this abomination, the league with Rome.
-
and it (The league with Rome, or the host
given to Rome and Rome together) cast
down the truth to the ground (Rejected
Messiah, for Caesar as king, according to John 19:15); and it practiced, and prospered.
-
From
the time of the Herod Dynasty, established first in Antipater I in 45 BCE, and
primarily, as the details of Daniel 11 show, Herod the Great, this league, “practiced
and prospered.” The successful relationship was between Rome and the
religious leadership’s claim, to be the COLLECTIVE, messianic overseership (rule)
of the people.
-
Specifically, the Point WHEN the
Sanctuary Was
Polluted Thus Requiring Eventual Cleansing
-
There
has been redundancy above. We have rendered an explanation, basically verbatim,
from a few earlier paragraphs in chapters 6 and 7. This has been intrinsically
necessary, to make sure we make the connection in the reader’s comprehension. It is
extremely critical to understand the public, official, and specific point,
where and when the Sanctuary was defiled, and thus requiring cleansing.
Therefore, we can start to understand the TIMING unto that cleansing. Moreover,
WHAT constitutes that cleansing. Verse 11 and 12 of Daniel 8, which we
have interpreted above, when compared with Daniel 11:31 below, will give us
that answer. It is clear, as to what indeed will cleanse the sanctuary of
Israel’s strength, starting at
-
Daniel
11:30c - 31
he (Rome) shall
even return and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant
-
This was the seduction of the Zionists
and leaders of the people, Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes, and Priests,
hereafter referred to as simply, “religious leadership,” into working with Rome
for the prosperity of both sides, as seen in the Herod Dynasty.
-
31 And arms shall stand on his (Rome’s) part, and they (religious leadership of Israel) shall POLLUTE THE SANCTUARY OF STRENGTH
and shall TAKE AWAY THE DAILY SACRIFICE (reject Messiah, and have him killed by Rome), and they shall PLACE THE
ABOMINATION THAT MAKES DESOLATE.
-
They affirmed allegiance (officially and
publicly) to Rome / Caesar, as their King. They FULLY honored the corrupt
league they already had with Rome, that had been so successful. They rejected
Messiah and God’s Sovereignty, the proper government over them, according to John 11:45-53 and John 19:15.
-
The
religious leadership of Israel prevailed, upon the majority of the people and
Rome’s Pontius Pilate, to crucify Messiah. They declared they had no king but
Caesar, according to John 19:15. This ended Messiah’s public testimony, witness,
and ministry from him personally to Israel as a NATION. It awaited his physical
return in the Second Coming. He was not seen by Israel, and only his Apostles
ministered after this time. He was seen only by the faithful, a remnant from
Israel, as stated by Apostle Paul’s testimony in I
Cor 15:1-8.
-
Crystal Clear Guilt
Beyond Any Reasonable Doubt
The Sure Marker as to When
The Sanctuary Was Polluted
-
On
April 3, Wednesday, Preparation Day, Nisan 14, 30 CE, the Sanctuary was publicly
and officially polluted. Truth was cast down to the ground. The abomination
that makes desolate was placed in the
public rejection of Messiah, the Messenger of THE Covenant, Mal
3:1-2, in preference for Caesar, as
stated in John
19:15. Formally and officially, they
rejected the Daily Sacrifice – the Messiah – the Sovereignty of God in rule
over them. They placed the Abomination – the league with a foreign power – the
product of self-determination and trust in the physical entity that ruled the
known world, in this case Rome / Caesar.
-
As
we will show later in 1948 CE, nothing had changed, and specifically during the
critical time period of 1984-1987, when the Last Half of Daniel’s 70th
Week arrived. Israel was still dependent upon this same abomination of a league
with a foreign power ruling over them. This was the product of
self-determination and trust in the physical entity that ruled the known world,
Revived Rome of the United Nations. Its chief constituent, the USA, has the
final say in most cases, through the political head, the President of the
United States / Caesar.
-
It is this scenario, that gives enlightenment to one of the most popular and
most misunderstood texts of Rev
13:11-18. There,
we see the Zionist State, the Beast Out of the Earth, under the authority of (empowered
by) the Beast Out of the Sea, Revived Rome / UN. It is vividly seen in control
of the 10
Arab Kings (Ten Horns-Powers-Nations) of the Middle East, Rev
13:1-10.
-
Again, its main constituent, to whom all nations gave respect, emulation, and
imitation, converting more and more to its form of government, remains the
United States of America, headed by its President. He was clearly standing militarily
and executively in the same place as Caesar of ancient Rome, calling for action
periodically in the Holy Land, greatly controlled by the Zionist lobby in
Washington, D.C.
-
Let us not forget the supreme head of the world’s largest, Judeo-Christian profession
of faith, Catholicism, squarely located in the Vatican, in Rome proper, during
this history. Indeed, all the known world has served this Revived Rome / UN, and
its designs coming against Jerusalem, the Promises of God to Israel, and those
to Ishmael, father of the Arab people. This is given in Gen
16:10-12, according to the Covenant of God with their father Abraham. Now
let us look at Dan
8:13-14 closely. We will determine the factors needed for the Sanctuary
to be cleansed.
-
Qualification for the Cleansing
-
The
simple answer . . . Messiah was present publicly with Israel, dealing with its
leadership, in his fulfillment of the Lev
23:1-21, during the spring Holy Days of 30 CE, within the Covenant 70th
Week, as Promised by Dan
9:24-27. The Sanctuary was polluted by their rejection of him, in
preference for the abomination of their league with a foreign
power. Therefore, Messiah MUST be present again to remove the pollution. He must be
accepted by that leadership and national Israel, in preference over dependence
on a foreign power. Thereby, Israel will be back under the Sovereignty
of God, trusting Him, bringing Israel’s Redemption.
-
TWO ASPECTS OF THE CLEANSING:
ONE
IS SPIRITUAL AND HEAVENLY.
ONE
IS LITERAL AND EARTHLY.
-
There
is a deeper and greater fulfillment to all mankind, Jew, and Gentile, in the
spiritual heavenly connotation. Spiritually, there is what is done in 30 CE,
Messiah then entering the heavenly sanctuary in the Acts 1 ascension, affecting
the dispensation from 30 CE until 1984, called the Age of Grace. Sin is covered
but STILL present. This is followed by his return, visible again to the world,
initiating the final dispensation of God being all and in all, where sin is
eliminated entirely.
-
This is the spiritual connotation. However, it is not
our concern at this juncture in our presentation. We are concerned as to what
defiled Israel’s sanctuary of strength, in the literal and earthly sense,
keeping them from perceiving the Messiah ministry, entirely due to their
spiritual blindness.
-
Prior
to Messiah’s ministry, blindness was on Israel, generated by their judgment of Jer
25:1-11; 29:10-14 from 607-537 BCE, as given in Lev
26:14-17, “the burning ague, that consumes the eyes.” It was
sustained after that time, due to no national repentance and no seeking to
understand the truth, as stated by Dan
9:13. This began spring, March 18/19, Passover, 537 BCE. It ran 2520
years (7 x 360) to spring March 18/19,
Purim, 1984, Lev
26:18-39, bringing final judgment, ensuing from December 3, 1987.
-
Moving forward from then, Messiah was rejected, during the “time, times and
the dividing of time,” Dan
7:24-27, the Last Half of the Covenant 70th Week, Dan
9:24-27, spring 1984 – fall 1987, as we will confirm in eye-witness in
our Chapter 10. Israel’s rejection of this Second Ministry of Messiah brought
the “the judgment shall sit,” from Dec 3, 1987, moving to the finality. As of
Sep 17, 2022 into that winter, Israel entered the final major factor concerning
that cleansing for Israel, Dan
8:23-25. The
sanctuary of their strength comes to . . . “when the transgressors are come to their full.”
We will examine all of this again later in our presentation, bringing
clarity to these timings.
-
Within What Time Span Must Israel
Respond?
-
As
of April 3, Nisan 14, 30 CE, the nation of Israel and its leadership rejected
him. He was not seen by them again. We have seen, within that time to
deal with Israel again in the Last Half of the 70th Covenant Week, Messiah
MUST be present after the Times of the Gentiles are completed and finished.
There MUST be fulfillment of those parts of the Law of Moses, NOT fulfilled
personally by Messiah in his First Ministry. Therefore, he fulfills the
fall Holy Days, Lev
23:23-44, at the end of the Last Half of the 70th Week, as he
fulfilled the spring Holy Days at the end of the First Half of the 70th
Week. Daniel 9:27 gives the Time Span, “And he (Messiah) shall confirm the
Covenant FOR ONE WEEK.”
-
The Only Covenant Causing Daniel’s
Concern
-
The
ONLY Covenant about which Daniel was concerned was the Covenant of God with Abraham,
through Isaac and the physical people of Israel. This was a two-part Covenant:
-
1)
In the broad scope, it was to produce Messiah; thus, bringing
blessing to all nations, according to Gen
12:1-3.
2)
Narrowly drawn, it was a land Covenant with Ishmael and Isaac, and
the remainder of Abraham’s physical seed, to inherit the Land between the rivers
of the Nile and Euphrates (everywhere the soles of their feet was placed).
-
The
problem that has existed since that promise, and particularly with the physical
house of Israel, is that they want part two – the Land, without part one – the
Messiah. However, it is a package deal for Israel, unlike the
unconditional gift of the land to the other descendants of Abraham.
-
Ishmael / the Arabs versus Isaac
-
Using now a summary statement of Michael directly at this point,
with some paraphrasing to fit this place in our narrative:
-
“The
right to rule was never extended to the Gentiles between the Rivers Nile and
Euphrates. It would only be through Israel when HE, WHOSE RIGHT IT IS … COMES.
Hence, Israel’s league with the Gentile powers to try to rule in a democracy,
has only brought war and unrest epitomizing today. The proper government will overcome
the Arab nations that are constantly at difference with Israel, as we will
later stress from Rev
17:12-14.
-
The
obligation of bringing forth the proper government to rule The Covenant of God
with Abraham is with Isacc, not Ishmael. However, Ishmael is God's Army, Joel
1-2, and specifically more so now, in the end time upon us as we
write. They are the biblical "big brother" to enforce Israel's
compliance to their obligation of bringing forth a righteous government to
rule. We notice the only time both were at peace was during the rule of
Solomon.
-
Anytime
the Arabs rise against Israel, particularly since the Intifada beginning in
1987, it's only to let Israel know that they are not ruling rightly. Anything,
other than the proper government, is planned obsolescence until the proper rule
comes.
-
Down
through time, Prophets were given as correctors, reminding Israel where they
went wrong, and needed to return to the path of bringing forth the proper rule
in Messiah.
-
The
whole duty of Isaac in Israel is to bring forth Messiah. The Word of God will
not be fulfilled until they do."
-
Package Deal: Sovereignty of God –
Messiah
Proper Government – Blessing
Qualified by the Added Law of
Moses
-
When Israel went under a further qualification of that original promise, in
accepting the Law of Moses over them, they were then obligated to that
qualifying factor. This was quantified in timings, specifically Lev
26:14-39, in order to receive the blessing in parts one and two, just
stated above, as given in Lev
26:40-46. Again, for Israel it is a package deal; hence, no Messiah – no
right to be in the Holy Land, particularly no right to be under their own
autonomous government. Deut
17:14-20 is very clear as to what government they must have – Monarchy.
The model for this King is given in the Testimony to that particular Law, in Hos
3:4-5, Jer 23:6-8, and Ezek 37:19-28. These scriptures state
that the King of God’s qualifications and designation is the mandatory factor
for any Exodus from the nations back to the Holy Land, to establish the Israel
of God in truth.
-
As we have pointed out earlier, they were in disobedience to the Law of Moses.
Therefore, they were put under the quantifying judgment of 70 Years Babylonian
Captivity, as stated in Lev
26:14-17, Jer 25:1-11, and Jer 29: 10-14. Due to no
proper condition to understand truth, according to Dan
9:13, they were judged Seven Times more, according to Lev
26:18-39. THAT long period of judgment is WHAT we have been considering
now.
-
Therefore,
in order to be relieved of the judgment and receive the land portion of the
Covenant, Israel must establish government, according to the Law and the
Prophets, that is ordained for this region of the world. The time for this
ruler and Promised Seed, the Messiah, to be present and available for their
deliverance, is within (secluded to) the 70th and Final Week of the
Prophecy of 70 Weeks. This is also a quantification. AT THIS TIME, IF ISRAEL WAS
DESTINED BY GOD’S PREORDAINED AND PREWRITTEN WILL TO ENTER INTO (BENEFIT
NATIONALLY FROM) THE FULFILLMENT OF THE COVENANT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THROUGH
MESSIAH, UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES, THEY MUST RECEIVE MESSIAH
DURING THIS TIME. THIS IS THE FALL HOLY DAYS, AT THE END OF THE LAST HALF OF
THE 70TH WEEK.
-
Timing Is Everything
-
Messiah
was present, fulfilling the First Half of the Covenant 70th Week,
from fall 26 CE to his cutting off in spring 30 CE. This left 3 and ˝ years to
be finished, in the Last Half of the Covenant 70th Week. That Last
Half started when the Seven Times of the Gentiles were completed, in the spring
of 1984. Daniel 8:13-14, 2300 DAYS, is the critical factor, the enigma
down through the ages, that has eluded a firm confident understanding, AS TO
JUST HOW THAT FITS, WITHIN THE TOTALITY OF GOD’S DIVINE PLAN.
-
SPECIFICALLY. . . PLACING THE BEGINNING OF THE COUNT OF 2300 DAYS:
-
The
start of the countdown for the CLEANSING, 2300 DAYS, would begin when Messiah
is present, and the Last Half of the 70th Week resumes.
-
In other words, Day One of the 2300 days would SIMULTANEOUSLY be the very same day,
that the Last Half, the Final 3 and ˝ years of Daniel’s 70th Week,
also began. The Sanctuary was polluted, and Messiah was killed by the
leadership of Israel, Preparation Day, Wednesday, Nisan 14, April 3, 30 CE. Thus,
the 2300 days starts at the same moment the Last Half
of the 70th Week commences and transpires, WITH MESSIAH PRESENT
AGAIN. Those days would begin ticking away (counting down) in PARALLEL, just
prior to sundown, Sunday, March 18, 1984. Thus, March 18/19, 1984, evening-and-morning,
24-hour day, . . . is Day One of the 2300 days, AND . . . Day One of the Last
Half of Daniel’s 70th Week.
-
A Formula for Understanding:
-
As
given to the author by Michael, there is an aid in understanding the 70th
Week of Daniel. He has shown the author, that we must
look at that 70th Week, without the break of 1954 years of the
Age of Grace, between the First and Last Half.
Those years, counted from the cross, do not apply to Israel as a nation. This
is due to Messiah being gone, seen NATIONALLY by them no longer, from just
prior to sundown, Preparation Day, Wednesday, Nisan 14, April 3, 30 CE.
-
Here again, portions of Revelation open much clearer when using this tool. THIS
IS BECAUSE THE COVENANT OF THE LAW OF MOSES DEALS STRICTLY WITH NATIONAL ISRAEL,
IN ORDER TO FINISH THAT COVENANT, AND EVENTUALLY RETURN THEM TO THE COVENANT,
SOLELY WITH GOD THROUGH ABRAHAM. However, here, in understanding the timing for
the count of the 2300 days, this tool, the back-to-back joining of the two
halves of the 70th Week, is also very effective.
-
The Covenant 70th Week deals solely with Israel. Once that
Week is picked back up for the Last Half, then March 18/19, 1984, can be placed
directly, as the next day after Preparation Day, Wednesday, Nisan 14, April 3,
30 CE. In so doing, we can plainly determine the start to the 2300 days
countdown. It extends FROM the point of Messiah’s rejection and death, and the public
placing of the abomination of allegiance to a foreign power, Caesar / Rome, John
19:15. Thus, on Preparation Day, during the time the Passover Lamb was
slain, Messiah was crucified, leading just hours later to the Passover meal, April
3, 30 CE, at sundown, at the end of that biblical day. The first day of
the 2300-day count, toward arriving at the cleansing process, would be the next
day when Messiah was present again, Purim, Adar II, 14/15, 1984, secularly
March 18/19, 1984.
-
Pesach
/ Passover 30 CE Matched with Purim 1984 CE;
-
Preparation
Day April 3, 30 CE, WEDNESDAY, Messiah cut off in the midst
of
the literal week, and also at the end of 3 and ˝ years of Daniel’s 70th
Week
-
Purim,
March 18, 1984 CE, SUNDAY, First Day of the Week
First day
of Last Half of 70th Week and Day 1 of 2300
Days
-
Additionally, when we go back exactly 2520 (7x360) years from March 18/ 19,
1984, notice as well:
-
March
18/19, 537 BCE is Nisan 14/15, Preparation Day into Passover meal, for that
year. It is hence we stated in our Chapter 4, The Cyrus Deception, on
that day began the “Seven Times more,” Lev
26:18-39. It transpired 2520 exact years, to the
day, March 18, 1984, when Messiah was present once more. He was last seen by
Israel Preparation Day, Wednesday, Nisan 14, April 3, 30 CE. This was the
beginning of his 35th year, said to be a completed 34 years old,
from spring 5 BCE. Let it be known, on his birthday, March 18, 1984, Michael
Craig Clark, Michael the Great Prince, Jesus Christ returned, finishing his 34th
year, said to be 34 years old, beginning his 35th year.
-
DELIVERANCE WAS THERE, THE PROPER GOVERNMENT WAS AVAILABLE FROM THAT DAY
FORWARD. THE DIFFICULTY COMES IN UNDERSTANDING WHAT WAS IN THE WAY OF ISRAEL
PERCEIVING MESSIAH AND PROPER GOVERNMENT, AND WHAT IT TAKES TO REMOVE THAT, SO
MESSIAH IS RECEIVED.

Considering
now Daniel 8:13-14, with comments, as we have the other verses:
-
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 (Messiah), and the transgression of
desolation (the
rejection of Messiah for the league with a foreign power / Rome), to give both the sanctuary and
the host to be trodden under foot?
-
This means . . . how long would it be . . . to give both their Sanctuary
of strength (their relationship and Covenant with God), as well as those that
have forsaken the Covenant (the host that was cast down) to be in allegiance
with the deception. The deception is . . . >>> that the false
concept of Rome / Caesar (today, Revived Rome / UN) and the league with the
foreign power, can be maneuvered by the Zionists to produce their deliverance
<<<. This is diametrically opposed to Messiah (as their deliverer),
and to the government of the Sovereignty of God. How long would it be . . . UNTIL the judgment
(cleansing process) would BEGIN?
-
14 And he said unto me, unto two
thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
-
So
once again we reiterate, Messiah would be present, the “Times of the
Gentiles,” Luke 21:24, from spring 537 BCE to Spring 1984, (7x360), “Seven
Times more,” Lev
26:18-39, would be finished. The Last Half of Daniel’s 70th
Week would be started, Dan
7:24-27. Then also, simultaneously, the 2300 days, Dan
8:13-14, would start their countdown as well, as shown in the above
diagram.
-
The Question:
-
What if, . . . during those fall
Holy Days at the End of the Last Half of Daniel’s 70th Week, Israel does
not receive Messiah at that time???
-
The Answer:
-
This
is the reason for the 2300-day countdown, starting simultaneously with the
beginning of the Last Half of Daniel’s 70th Week, AND RUNNING BEYOND
IT.
-
Israel did NOT receive that final witness, as we will show was privately
submitted to the elders and elite spiritual heads of the Zionist State, in the
fall of 1987. Rejecting it, with no apparent interest shown to act on that
final witness, Israel remained with no special privilege from that point, as a
physical and national people, under the Law of Moses.
-
The
Covenant of God, its brotherhood under the Law of Moses, secluding that
covenant solely with the physical nation and people of Judah and Israel, was
broken at that point, according to Zech
11:14.
-
In addition, as we will show from the Revelation given to John on the Isle of
Patmos, by his personal experience with Michael, Jesus at that time, it is
clear that the Last Half of the Covenant 70th Week, 3 and ˝ years,
also being 42 months, would be “tread under foot” and “given” to the Gentiles.
This is due to the Zionist league with Revived Rome / UN. It caused them to
miss their Messiah again, as understood from a proper interpretation of Rev
11:1-2 and Rev
13:5. We will reveal more on that fact,
at a more appropriate place in our publication in due time.
-
So we perceive, that this final rejection is also prophesied, PREDESTINED AND
RIGHT ON TIME, and should not take us by surprise. This
is . . . if we understand the Word of Truth properly . . . so that this day
does not take us unaware, being in great ignorance!
-
The Sanctuary Cleansed
As a Finished Process in Its Main
Instance
-
ISRAEL
MUST REVERSE WHAT THEY HAVE DONE. In that they have rejected
Messiah by God’s predetermined will and the Law and the Prophets, they must
receive him by that same method, and so fulfill the Law and the Prophets,
within the nation of Israel.
-
It is THIS that will finish the public cleansing of the sanctuary, even as it
was their rejection of Messiah that publicly defiled the sanctuary, Dan
11:31, John 11:45-53, John 19:15. Therefore,
the cleansing process begins after (or from) the completion of
the 2300-day countdown. All facets, contingencies, and events within that count
(how it transpires, stops, and restarts) is what we are delineating and
explaining, before the reader in this presentation; thus, leading to the grand
finale now upon us. IT TAKES US OUTSIDE OF THE CONFIRMATION OF
THE 70TH WEEK, AND FINISH OF THE COVENANT QUANTIFIED UNDER THE LAW
OF MOSES WITH ISRAEL, ALL THE WAY TO MESSIAH RECEIVED, USHERING IN WORLD
BLESSING.
The Brotherhood Between Israel
And Messiah Must be Restored.
-
The
brotherhood between Messiah and Israel was broken, due to their continued
rejection, after the fulfillment of the completed 70th Covenant
Confirmation Week of Daniel 9. As shown in Zechariah 11:4-17 quoted below, “Beauty”
was broken in the First Ministry of Messiah by Israel’s national
rejection of 26-30 CE. The outward adornment she revered was taken from her, in
the destruction of the literal Temple in 70 CE. “Bands” was broken, via
the broken brotherhood between Judah/Israel and God, in the Second Ministry of
Messiah, due to Israel’s national rejection of 1984-1987, as we will
show. This left them under the idol shepherd of Zionists in league with Gentile
foreign powers, in the 7th head, Revived Rome / UN. It remains in
that condition, until they receive him in government over them.
-
Zechariah
11:4-17
4 Thus saith the Lord my God; Feed
the flock of the slaughter;
5 Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell
them say, Blessed be the Lord; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them
not.
6 For I will no more pity the
inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbor's hand, and into the hand of his
king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver
them.
7 And I will feed the flock
of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the
one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
8 Three shepherds also I cut
off in one month; and my soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
9 Then said I, I will not
feed you: that that dies, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be
cut off; and let the rest eat everyone the flesh of another.
10 And I took my staff, even
Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made
with all the people.
11 And it was broken in that
day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me
knew that it was the word of the Lord.
12 And I said unto them, If
ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So
they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.
13 And the Lord said unto me,
Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prized at of them. And I
took the thirty pieces of silver,
and cast them to the potter in the house of the
Lord.
14 Then I cut asunder mine
other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and
Israel.
15 And the Lord said unto me, Take unto thee yet the
instruments of a foolish shepherd.
16 For, lo, I will raise up a
shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither
shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that
stands still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and
tear their claws in pieces.
17 Woe to the idol shepherd
that leaves the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye:
his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
-
That
brotherhood will be restored under Messiah as revealed in
-
Ezekiel
37:15-28
15 The word of the Lord came
again unto me, saying,
16 Moreover, thou son of man,
take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of
Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph,
the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17 And join them one to another into one stick;
and they shall become one in thine hand.
18 And when the children of
thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not show us what thou
meanest by these?
19 Say unto them, thus saith
the Lord God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of
Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even
with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
20 And the sticks whereon
thou writest shall be in thine hand before their
eyes.
21 And say unto them, thus
saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the
heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring
them into their own land:
22 And I will make them one
nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to
them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided
into two kingdoms any more at all.
23 Neither shall they defile
themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor
with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their
dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
24 And David my servant shall
be king over them (Messiah); and they all shall have one
shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do
them.
25 And they shall dwell in
the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have
dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their
children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince
forever.
26 Moreover I will make a
covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and
I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of
them for evermore.
27 My tabernacle also shall
be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
28 And the heathen shall know
that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of
them for evermore.

PURPOSE OF THE 2300-DAY COUNTDOWN:
-
This
will bring the cleansing of the sanctuary of Israel’s strength, placing them
back under God’s Sovereignty in brotherhood with Messiah, “he whose right it
is,” according to Ezek
21:24-27. However, this is outside of the Law of Moses,
already confirmed, fulfilled, bringing Israel’s national redemption solely in
Messiah. This is the main purpose of the timing of 2300 days
simultaneously starting the very same day, as the Last Half of the 70th
Week, and RUNNING PAST IT.
-
Once the Last Half or the 42 months, the 1260 days elapsed, it eliminated the
Law of Moses and the prophecy of Dan
9:24-27 as a contingency for Israel. They can no longer remain in
relationship with God under the Law, with the Messiah reigning over them in
THAT understanding. This was designated under self-determination, freewill, and
choice, as Adam first inaugurated. It was further qualified and quantified,
under the Law of Moses. It came, and it has expired; it is no longer
available, as a viable relationship between Israel and God. It must be
written upon the heart. It is Messiah who is given the place (the key) to bring
that next step, the Full Redemption, which is The Resurrection, which is the
New Birth, which is the Adoption, Manifesting Full Sonship.
-
However, Messiah DID fulfill it. Therefore, once entering the
2300 days, Dan
8:13-14, countdown, finishing 1260 days, September 18/19, 1987 (OR OUTSIDE
OF THE PROPHECY OF DAN
9:24-27), and coming to 30 days later, October 19, 1987, the 1290 days,
Israel shows absolute breach of contract. They remained fully under the
abomination that makes desolate, set up,
Dan 12:11, 1290 days.
-
Israel has no recourse, except Messiah and his relationship with God, UNDER
THAT OTHER PROPHECY OF 2300 DAYS. It extended out of the Law (but still
within the prophetical timings of Daniel, that continued in those 2300 days)
to bring blessing at 1335
days, Dan 12:12. It remained with “blessed is
he that comes to the 1335 days.” IT IS WHAT IS THEN AVAILABLE FOR FULL
DELIVERANCE, NOT ONLY FOR ISRAEL AS A NATION, BUT ALL NATIONS, BLESSED IN
MESSIAH, THE SEED OF ABRAHAM, THAT UNDERSTANDING, THAT FAITH, THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL.
-
WE
WILL SHOW THAT UNTIL ISRAEL, NATIONAL AND PHYSICAL, RECEIVES GOD AS THEIR
SOVEREIGN KING THROUGH MESSIAH AND THE MESSAGE HE BRINGS, NEITHER THEY NOR THE NATIONS
OF THE WORLD COULD BE BLEST.
-
God
was not done with Israel, nor had she lost her identity as a nation, as
Preterists falsely claimed. Even though the Covenant with them under the Law of
Moses has been confirmed and finished, as we will soon show, it is
on that basis that the final sequence of judgment begins. That process brings
her to the marriage, and her cleansed sanctuary of strength, under her original
link to God through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This, in itself, is the link
back to the Garden of Eden relationship with God, BEFORE Adam’s departure.
-
We will show that this process (to bring Israel to blessing) started with judgment,
after the “time and times and the dividing of time” in Dan
7:24-27,
which also opens up the Book of Revelation. The entire panorama reveals what
has gone before Daniel’s 70 Weeks, beginning in 607 BCE called the “indignation.”
It takes us into what occurs after its confirmation, to “the judgment
shall sit,” on to the grand finale, “the Last End of the Indignation,” Dan
8:19-25.
-
1984 and Beyond
-
At
this time, we will update our diagram to take us beyond 1984. Remember
that the terms “1260 Days,” “42 Months,” “time times and a half,” are all
different ways of stating the same thing. They are the Last Half of Daniel’s 70th
Week, or 3 and 1/2 years, where one occasion 1260, in each half, refers to the
whole 70th Week, when each half is added together. The
scriptures, using these connotations, are all correlated as we come to them.

In
brief explanation of each date, concerning which we will give more details and
verification as we continue:
-
March 18, 1984, started simultaneously
the Last Half of Daniel’s 70th Week, 3 and ˝ years, which is 42
months, as it is also 1260 days. This 3 and ˝, or “time times and a half,”
of Daniel 12:7, ran from just before sundown in Jerusalem, March 18, 1984, to
just before sundown on September 18/19, 1987.
-
30 days later was October 19, 1987, the 1290th Day of Daniel 12:11,
with December 3, 1987 being the 1335th Day
of Daniel 12:12, keeping in mind, those days are part of the greater 2300 days. This
leaves more timing to consider, and the final 965 days of the total 2300 days
all clarified, eventually, in our publication, BABYLON IS FALLEN.
-
This
is the close of our Chapter 8. We will return in Chapter 9, finishing the
details and markers of the Times of the Gentiles, that lead us to their
conclusion in the spring of 1984. This simultaneously began the Last Half of
Daniel’s 70th Week, AND . . . the 2300-day countdown, with the END
of that countdown producing (AFTER IT HAS EXPIRED), the BEGINNING of the process
of the cleansing of the sanctuary.
-
The entire spectrum results in Michael standing up, bringing The Redemption and
Full Disclosed Revelation of Truth. This includes practical facts on the ground,
as to the final deception established in 1948/1967 through the Zionist State,
and those portions of Daniel 7-11, that clearly prophesied those events centuries
before.
-
This will bring us to the End of the Times of the Gentiles, and the
simultaneous beginning of the Last Half of Daniel’s 70th Week, and the
2300-day countdown. Those fall Holy Days, Leviticus 23, which were NOT
fulfilled in Messiah’s First Ministry, are given in day-by-day fulfillment, at
the end of the 3 and ˝ years in Israel and Jerusalem. We enlarge upon their significance
and bearing upon Israel and the Messiah, with relation to the 1290 days, and
1335 days of Daniel 12:11-12, later in this publication.
-
The 1290 days (as we will show) is the pinnacle point of the Zionist plan, per THEIR
concept, standing opposed to the blessing in Messiah. That blessing coming
forth from the 1335 days, brings the judgment upon the
Zionist plan and mindset, removing it in due time. These day-counts of
1260-1290-1335 are ALL part of the 2300 days, to which the Book of Daniel is pointing,
by this recorded meeting and vision with Michael the Great Prince, as markers
of significance. We will coordinate, first Daniel 2, 7, and 8, with Dan 11:36 forward,
while quoting verses verbatim, with interpolated comments, as we have done
before, as we proceed to our destination in Chapter 9.
-
Therefore,
we will follow the concept of joining the two halves of the 70th
Week back-to-back, in our Chapter 9. We will move from the finish here
in our Chapter 8, to the Days of Revived Rome / UN, the 5th Black
Stripe on the Matrix / Chart, beginning in 1948. Expounding upon Daniel
11:36-45, which addresses the time since then, we will again invoke a look at
Dan 2, 7, and 8. Our concern will be the
latter part of those presentations to Daniel, as to how they are the broad
brush, and Dan 11:36-45 is the narrow brush of details.
-
CONCISE PRESENTATION OF THE “MYSTERY OF INIQUITY,”
REPEATED AT VARIOUS PLACES,
HENCEFORTH IN THIS PRESENTATION.
-
At this point, we believe the reader has
seen all the elements that compose the Mystery of Iniquity. Therefore, we want
to provide a brief synopsis of the Mystery of Iniquity. We may repeat it at
various appropriate places as we proceed:
-
It applies solely to Israel under the Law of Moses;
whereby, they are, by that standard, in INIQUITY. This became a grey area when
they wanted to serve God, but by their own designs, initiated in the Golden
Calf, as a “feast unto the Lord,” as Aaron dubbed same. It is presented
extensively in the Special Document: The Incident of the Golden Calf. Yet, it was an amalgamation (a uniting of the gods
and religion of Egypt with Israel); therefore, it was informal at that point.
It was in its infancy, as a link back to Egypt in essence, even prior to Moses
descending with the first two tables of stone, Exodus 31-34. This breach
into idolatry occurred in Horeb, on the north and west side of Mt. Sinai, on
Day 31-34. They were in the Rephidim encampment, before Moses made his full
descent and exit from the mountain, on the 50th day since leaving
Egypt. On that same day, Moses then led them to the south and east side, called
the “nether” side of Mt. Sinai, to hear directly from God.
-
Later, in the wilderness journey, it moved into a democracy in its early seeds,
by rejecting the leadership of Moses for a collective rule in Numbers 16. Korah
and Dathan, and their 250 princes, stated to Moses, “Ye take too much upon
you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is
among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the
Lord?” It brought their death, in God’s judgment against this concept of
the collective rule versus the ordained leadership given by God, in one called
by God, and proven in authority.
-
It came forth as a concept condemned by the Prophet
Ezekiel in Ezek 14:1-11. God
stated through Ezekiel, that he would answer and prosper the concept up to a
point. Then, God would destroy the prophet, and he that sought the concept
behind that false prophet, in the final analysis. This was first practiced in
the political moves of Zionism, as “the
Mystery of Iniquity,” which is the abomination of a league with a foreign power,
in order to try and effectuate the Covenant of Blessing to Israel, by alternate
means condemned within that very SAME COVENANT.
-
In its first complete cause, it emerged under the Persian Empire. The Zionists
of Israel convinced Cyrus that he was the deliverer of Israel, releasing them
to go back, under his decree to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. This was
condemned by Daniel, because they were not in the right condition to return, Dan 9:13. Thus,
Daniel withstood the Cyrus Deception, Dan 10, as we have given in our Chapter 4 of BABYLON
IS FALLEN.
-
Many have, erroneously, held to this lie, created due to
the misinterpretation of the record of Isaiah. They have followed that up,
much later, with historical allegiance, as recorded in II Chr 36: 22-23 and
Ezra 1: 1-4. However, it remains
quite obvious that the references and proposals offered, in Isaiah 44 and 45,
match only those of the TRUE MESSIAH, clearly defined elsewhere throughout the
Bible. The same can be said of statements made about Eliakim the son of
Hilkiah in Isa 22, Zerubbabel in Hag 2
and Zech 4, and Joshua the son of
Josedech in Zech 3.
-
Until Israel, as a nation, is in repentance and admittance to THIS sin of their
fathers (running, in impatience, with an interpretation that suits their
designs, before they get a confident and clear confirmation by alignment with
all the Law and the Prophets have mandated), they are never delivered
with Blessing. In fact, without repentance, they remain a curse, not a blessing
to the world, and without the understanding of the
Script, until their final deliverance.
-
It next reared its head, in the league with Rome. Caiaphas,
and the Sanhedrin were granted rule of the Temple complex, under league of fornication and harlotry with Rome. In dominance
over the whole province of Judea, it brought prosperous times under Herod the
Great and his heirs. It rejected Messiah, as stated in Dan 11:20-35, John 11:45-53, and John 19:15. It was exposed by Jesus and the Apostles, and
removed in judgment of 70 CE, the Second Overturn of Dan 11:29 and Ezek 21:24-27.
-
That destruction removed all that had been presented to the world, in this
deception of the Sanhedrin in league with Rome, Satan and the Mystery of Iniquity. This
abomination of the league with a foreign power, attempting to effectuate the
Kingdom of God in deliverance of Israel, was removed into
the bottomless pit, the Seven Times of the Gentiles. IT
WAS NOT SEEN AGAIN UNTIL 1948 / 1967. This is the meaning of the metaphor, . . . “the Dragon is bound in
the bottomless pit.” Thus, when this movement comes forth again, it yields
understanding of the statement, . . . “the Dragon is loosed from the
bottomless pit.”
-
It came back from the near death, “wound unto death,” it received in 70 CE, under Old Rome, the 6th Head
on the Beast Out of the Sea. It fully revived to life again, “was healed,”
in the 7th Head on the Beast Out of the Sea, Revived Rome / UN, producing the
Zionist State, the Beast Out of the Earth, Rev 13, in its
own nation this time, in 1947 / 48. It was . . . and is . . . the same
abomination of the league with the Gentile power, trying to deliver Israel in spiritual
fornication and harlotry again. Here it is, in the end time . . . that the Mystery
of Iniquity is revealed by Messiah. It is destroyed by the brightness /
enlightenment of his final appearance, Ezek 14:1-11, II Thess 2.
