Transcript
- 0:00Chapter 8 from the book of Daniel.
- 0:04First, I want to pray. Dear Lord, as I was reading
- 0:07through this chapter earlier, I've discovered several
- 0:13conflicting things in Bible translations and this really
- 0:18needs your wisdom because there are things here that are
- 0:23different than any of us have ever heard before, more than
- 0:26likely. So I ask that you please open
- 0:30eyes, give revelation, and let us know the truth about this.
- 0:36We ask this in Jesus name, Amen. So as I just alluded to, there
- 0:43were some discoveries in this chapter that really are
- 0:49interesting. If any of you have ever had
- 0:53confusion about certain numbers in the Bible, like numbers of
- 0:57days or time periods, and I'll throw out some like the 2300
- 1:02mornings and evenings are the 1335 days or the 1260 days.
- 1:09All those things, those when I was studying the past several
- 1:16years, they were just so confusing to me.
- 1:19And I was trying to make sense of all of them.
- 1:22And now I know why I couldn't make sense of all of them.
- 1:26And I listened to other pastors and just, there was never really
- 1:30a good explanation. But what I found today, I think
- 1:34it's because our translation is messed up.
- 1:37And here's the resource for you, and this is what I based it on.
- 1:44And then I will give you details of why I say this.
- 1:47But if you go to blueletterbible.org, a website,
- 1:53you can look any different version of the Bible up and you
- 1:58can go to the tool, I'll call it a button on the left hand side
- 2:04of a verse. You can click that and it will
- 2:06show you the original Hebrew if you're in the Old Testament and
- 2:12the Greek for the New Testament. But if there's ever.
- 2:16And you can look up different translations to see.
- 2:19And I, I am a little bit shocked about like the differences that
- 2:24I found because although it's not anything that changes the
- 2:30message of salvation or anything, you know, really
- 2:35important. I mean, this could be important,
- 2:37but it's not extremely important.
- 2:40It's not a matter of salvation. So I'm not concerned about that
- 2:45part of the translation, but I am concerned about probably some
- 2:49errors that came across with some details.
- 2:53And when we see things that don't align, they align.
- 2:58They could be translation issues.
- 3:00So human error, but it doesn't substantially change the message
- 3:05of the gospel. So I still believe in the Bible
- 3:09and its accuracy. But thank goodness we have this
- 3:13translation from blueletterbible.org that gives
- 3:17us the the actual Hebrew words because I really don't know
- 3:21where these translations came up with this.
- 3:24And if you want to speak with somebody who maybe knows a
- 3:28little bit more, once you hear what I have to say, please do so
- 3:32and pray about it too. But what I found really lines up
- 3:37with the whole Bible, and it lines up with the things that
- 3:41God does repetitively, repeatedly throughout the Bible.
- 3:47So I think this is actually accurate and but I challenge,
- 3:54you know, I want to challenge you prove me wrong and talk to
- 3:58scholars or, you know, make sure that they hear what I have found
- 4:03and look into it themselves before they automatically say
- 4:07what they've been taught. Because I find things that
- 4:10sometimes we've been taught that aren't accurate is what I'll
- 4:14say. OK, let's get started.
- 4:17And I'm reading from the NIV version because that's what my
- 4:20Bible is. But I do double check I didn't
- 4:23when I first bought the Bible, I didn't know any different and I
- 4:27just I probably would have gone with the New King James Version
- 4:34just because it's much easier than the old English style.
- 4:38But the NIV New International version, I thought that was a
- 4:42good one and it happened to be a study Bible, which was very
- 4:46helpful. So All in all I'm fine with this
- 4:51but it does lead especially this chapter leads to a lot of
- 4:57misunderstandings. So when I read this actually I'm
- 5:03my Bible is the NIV. I'm going to read from that
- 5:06first and then I might cross reference with other versions
- 5:09like the new King James, which I will do.
- 5:12OK, let's get started. So this is about Daniel's vision
- 5:16of a ram and a goat. And quite honestly, if you
- 5:20haven't listened to the prior episodes in Daniel Chapter 7,
- 5:25you're going to want to because some of the hypotheses that I
- 5:30put together on that are theories are actually playing
- 5:34out in this chapter as well. This chapter is actually
- 5:38supporting the things that I said for last chapter about what
- 5:42I think about the beasts that arise.
- 5:44And I will cover that as well. But you're going to want to
- 5:47check out Daniel Chapter 7 if you haven't done that already.
- 5:52So let's get started. In the third year of King
- 5:56Belshazzar's reign, I, Daniel had a vision after the one that
- 6:01had already appeared to me. So in this book, chapter 8
- 6:05actually does come after Chapter 7.
- 6:08As far as sequence. Sometimes the Bible mixes up
- 6:11things and all the writings are not in chronological order.
- 6:14But this is telling us that it was the third year of
- 6:19Belshazzar's reign and I think his first one was in this.
- 6:23It was in the first year. So this is like 2 years later
- 6:27and Daniel's having another another vision.
- 6:31In my vision I saw myself in the citadel of Sousa in the province
- 6:37of Elam, that's modern day Iran, just for location understanding.
- 6:45So in the vision I was beside the Ulay canal.
- 6:50I looked up and there before me was a ram with two horns
- 6:55standing beside the canal, and the horns were long.
- 7:01One of the horns was longer than the other, but grew up later.
- 7:08I watched the ram as it charged toward the West and the north
- 7:13and the South. No animal could stand against
- 7:18it, and none could rescue from its power.
- 7:23It did as it pleased and became great.
- 7:27So animals, what I'm learning is that these are, these are
- 7:33absolutely symbolic, but they represent entities and more so
- 7:40spiritual entities, which I will hopefully point out to you in
- 7:48Scripture through Scripture. So it's not just my making this
- 7:51up, but it's actually found in Scripture.
- 7:54So there's like nothing against these entities that are able to
- 8:00stand against it, rescue from the power.
- 8:02It did as it pleased and became great.
- 8:05Now I don't even know if I'm going to read what the study
- 8:08Bible says because I think the study Bible will make it even
- 8:12more confusing because it basically reiterates what people
- 8:18have been taught. But so I'm not going to read
- 8:21that the questions and answers from there.
- 8:24I'm just going to let you look into this yourself and ask
- 8:28people that you know are scholarly and have them look
- 8:33into it as well and actually like look at the resources that
- 8:36I'm going to share. So I don't want to confuse
- 8:40anybody with the study Bible because I, I don't think it's
- 8:42right what the study Bible says. As I was thinking about this,
- 8:46suddenly a goat with a prominent horn between its eyes came from
- 8:53the West, crossing the whole earth without touching the
- 8:58ground. I kind of think that's a little
- 9:00bit of an interesting detail without touching the ground.
- 9:04And I think that also may allude to the fact that it might be a
- 9:09spiritual entity. Of course, these things are all
- 9:14open to interpretation, but it does make sense when you see
- 9:19what what else I discovered here.
- 9:21So it came from the West, crossing the whole earth without
- 9:25touching the ground. It came toward the two horned
- 9:29ram I had seen standing beside the canal, and charged at it
- 9:34with great rage. I saw it attack the ram
- 9:38furiously, striking the ram and shattering its two horns.
- 9:43The ram was powerless to stand against it.
- 9:47The goat knocked it to the ground and trampled on it, and
- 9:51no one could rescue the ram from its power.
- 9:56The goat became very great, but at the height of its power, the
- 10:01large horn was broken off and in its place 4 prominent horns or 4
- 10:09powers grew up toward the four winds of heaven and you know,
- 10:17like towards the four winds of heaven.
- 10:20So that's like it. That's a very interesting
- 10:23statement. And I did not look up the four
- 10:28winds. I do want to look that up.
- 10:30It's in verse 8 because I, I just want to know sometimes
- 10:34winds could be like a great Tempest wind or it could be
- 10:37something like spiritual and it says 4 notable ones.
- 10:43It doesn't even say winds. It just says, OK, so this is the
- 10:47translation New King James. It says the four and it says
- 10:52notable ones. And it says, let's see, I'll,
- 10:56I'll let you hear this word maybe.
- 11:00Strong's Age, 2380. Khazuth.
- 11:05Khazuth. OK, so it came up to the four
- 11:09Hazuth, I'm going to read what it says.
- 11:12This says a vision conspicuousness, a vision, an
- 11:15Oracle of a profit agreement, conspicuous in appearance.
- 11:22So there was something about it in appearance that the four
- 11:26winds, I have no idea where the winds came from, but it was
- 11:30something from. There were 4 notable ones toward
- 11:36the 40. Actually, I'm sorry, it does say
- 11:38winds. There were 4 notable ones that
- 11:41came from the winds of heaven and the winds are Rua.
- 11:47So I'll let you hear that. Strong's age 73 O 7.
- 11:53Ruach, Ruach. And what that means is it could
- 11:59be wind, breath, mind or spirit. So the spirit, a lot of times
- 12:07it's like the spirit of the living, breathing man in man.
- 12:11Spirit as a seat of emotion, a desire, desire, sorrow, trouble.
- 12:17It could be so it, it can be a spirit that it's talking about.
- 12:26So here it's it's, I want to read that again because I'm
- 12:29probably making it more confusion, confusing the way I'm
- 12:32reading it and slowing down. The goat became very great, but
- 12:35at the height of its power, the Lord, the large horn was broken
- 12:39off and in its place, 4 prominent horns grew up toward
- 12:46the four winds or the four spirits of heaven.
- 12:52So it's it there's there's something interesting I think
- 12:56about this and what's happening here, because why would it grow
- 13:01up to a literal wind? I think this is something
- 13:05spiritual. It's it's going towards the
- 13:07winds. And if it does tie into my
- 13:11theory that I'm going to present is that these are spiritual
- 13:15entities and they do want to reign, they do want to be king,
- 13:20and they are going up towards the heavens by their conquering.
- 13:25And just like the Tower of Babel, when they wanted to build
- 13:29a tower that would reach the heavens and elevate themselves,
- 13:33that's exactly what this entity is doing, this goat entity that
- 13:38is seen in the vision. And if you also think about it
- 13:43there when Jesus returns, there is a separation of the sheeps
- 13:47and the goat are the sheep and the goat and sheep and goats.
- 13:52So the sheep are the followers of Jesus, the goats are the
- 13:57followers of the other. And if you look at anything that
- 14:00is satanically oriented, they always have like a goat along
- 14:04with it. It's there's a lot of goat
- 14:06symbol symbolism related to Satan worship.
- 14:12So something to to consider with this again, this the cell
- 14:16supports more information that I'm going to share with you.
- 14:20So the goat became very great, but at the height of its power,
- 14:24the large horn was broken off and in his place there were 4
- 14:27prominent horn horns grew up towards the four winds of
- 14:30heaven. Out of one of them came another
- 14:34horn, which started small but grew in power to the South, to
- 14:40the east, and toward the beautiful land.
- 14:44More than likely that is Israel, toward the land of Israel.
- 14:48It grew until it reached the host of heavens and through some
- 14:55of the starry hosts down to earth and trampled on them.
- 15:00Think about that. The starry host, what are the
- 15:05starry host? It cast down some of the starry
- 15:11host. So the host of heaven it cast
- 15:16down. I didn't look up this.
- 15:21Let's see the stars. When it talks about the stars,
- 15:24it's called. I'll let you hear that, The
- 15:31stars. Strong's Age, 3556.
- 15:37Kohav, Kohav and. When it's talking about that,
- 15:42the definition is in the biblical usage, it says a star
- 15:46and it says of Messiah, brothers, youth, numerous
- 15:52progeny, personification, God's omniscience.
- 15:56So this is figuratively it through some of the IT trampled
- 16:04on them, it threw some of the starry host so the stars to the
- 16:10ground. The host is this word.
- 16:17Strong's Age, 6635. Sava.
- 16:22Sava. And what this means in in Hebrew
- 16:28is that which goes forth an army, war warfare host an army
- 16:34or a host, a host of an organized army, host of angels
- 16:39of the sun, moon and stars of the whole creation, war warfare
- 16:45service to go out to war service.
- 16:48So this has a war connotation and this relates to Revelation
- 16:55chapter 12, which you'll see. And I don't know whether I
- 17:00should jump around or just finish this paragraph or this
- 17:03chapter and then go back and, and break down each of the
- 17:06verses. I think I'll do that.
- 17:09So it, it, it grew until it reached the host of heavens and
- 17:14through some of the starry hosts down to the earth and trampled
- 17:20on them. The new King's James, new King
- 17:24James Version thinks says it a little bit differently.
- 17:29When you look at the actual King James Version, it says, and it
- 17:32waxed great even to the host of heaven and it cast down some of
- 17:39the host and of the stars to the ground and stamped upon them.
- 17:47So it gives a little bit of different.
- 17:49I mean, it's talking about the host in heaven and something on
- 17:53the ground that was trampled of the Messiah, like holy, you
- 17:58know, people that are focused on Jesus.
- 18:01So it again, this is when Daniel saw it.
- 18:05This was before the Messiah had come.
- 18:09So when you, when you read that, there's, there's more
- 18:16information that is given in the new in the King James Version as
- 18:20opposed to the NIV version. OK.
- 18:24It's set itself up to be as great as the commander of the
- 18:28army of the Lord. It took away the daily sacrifice
- 18:32from the Lord and his sanctuary was thrown down.
- 18:38So this sounds like Satan trying to reign and it sounds like what
- 18:45we've heard the quote Antichrist, that label that
- 18:49we've given, the one that's against God, what he does when
- 18:55he comes. So there's this, this end time
- 18:58battle between not really even a battle between God and him, but
- 19:02there is this end time attempt for him to take over and rule.
- 19:08And so this does sound like there is, and I will show you
- 19:13more proof of that. But this is, these are angelic
- 19:17beings. These are, I'm going to just say
- 19:20what I've discovered. These could very well be angelic
- 19:25beings who are actually the beast like I had talked about
- 19:29before when we compared it to Ezekiel and what he saw and some
- 19:34of the descriptions of the four beasts that came up.
- 19:37And we know that some of the some of the angels, if you want
- 19:42to call them seraphim or cherubim, were thrown down.
- 19:46They aligned with Satan. We find that in Revelation
- 19:50chapter 12. And again, the Bible interprets
- 19:55itself. So there are, it's important to
- 19:59have all of the information from the Bible in order to understand
- 20:02these things. And when we do have, when we can
- 20:06cross reference, then we learn a lot more from this.
- 20:10So because of the rebellion, the Lord's people and the daily
- 20:15sacrifice were given over to it. So again, God gives us free
- 20:20will. And if there is rebellion, if we
- 20:22are choosing to go against God, eventually he will turn us over
- 20:27to what we're choosing. And it really gets bad for us
- 20:31when that happens. But if he keeps trying to reach
- 20:35us and we keep ignoring him, he's if, if he's pursuing you,
- 20:40which is usually God is pursuing people, then he's going to
- 20:44probably let some things you know happen.
- 20:48If, if, if there's a little bit of you that still is connected
- 20:51to God, he's going to let your life get really messed up so
- 20:55that you turn to him. If you've outright rejected him,
- 20:59you don't care about him, you've made-up your mind and you reject
- 21:02him 100%. He may not do this for you.
- 21:05You may live this prosperous satanic given success and not
- 21:15experience anything in this world.
- 21:18I mean, there's a lot of times when people like will say, you
- 21:22know, how is it the people who are bad prosper?
- 21:26Well, they do right now. But the Bible tells us that at
- 21:30judgment time. There was a story about Lazarus
- 21:36and he was there was a a rich man who was in I think it's
- 21:42Hades is where he was and he was suffering the the heat and he
- 21:49had just this thirst that couldn't be quenched.
- 21:52And he was, he was saying, you know, like I, I see Abraham
- 21:56there. And if Abraham, I guess, or
- 21:59Lazarus, the beggar who was with Abraham could come over and just
- 22:03put a couple drops of water on my tongue, that would help.
- 22:07But it was, it was said that there's no way that you can
- 22:11crossover. There's a great chasm between
- 22:14where Abraham is and where this rich man was.
- 22:18And it was told to the rich man, you had everything in the world.
- 22:22You got all of your joy in the world.
- 22:25But now you're here and this is what you get for it.
- 22:30You know, you never, you never appreciated God.
- 22:33You never wanted anything to do with God.
- 22:35And now you're here and there's no crossing over.
- 22:38This is it. That's why, you know, people
- 22:40need to understand that purgatory doesn't exist.
- 22:45It's not a place where you can redo something that you did in
- 22:48the earth. I mean, whatever your decision
- 22:50is before you die is is going to be your destination.
- 22:55And this man apparently did not. He was a rich man.
- 22:59He had everything he wanted on earth.
- 23:01But just like Scripture says, what good is it for you to have
- 23:06everything in the world but forfeit your soul?
- 23:09Our souls are eternal. So this guy was really short
- 23:12sighted. He was looking at the wealth and
- 23:15everything he could have here right now.
- 23:18He didn't want to postpone any of his satisfaction of anything.
- 23:21He couldn't wait for. He couldn't be patient.
- 23:24He couldn't wait for it to happen when God's Kingdom comes.
- 23:28No, he wanted it right now. And so he discarded everything
- 23:33else, apparently, or he wouldn't have.
- 23:36It was his own choice. He has he himself put him where
- 23:39he was. He rejected God and he lived for
- 23:43his riches and his wealth and his fame and whatever else he
- 23:46had. And then he's begging, He's
- 23:48saying, well, you need to please go.
- 23:50I mean, Jesus telling the story. He's saying please go back to my
- 23:53family and warn them of this so they don't end up here too.
- 23:58And Jesus says like even, I think it's basically even if
- 24:01someone died and resurrected, they would not even believe it.
- 24:05So some people's hearts are hardened where they're just not
- 24:09going to believe. They're just, they don't want to
- 24:10hear it. They don't want to hear about
- 24:13Jesus. They don't want to hear about
- 24:15his resurrection. They don't want to hear about
- 24:17the Kingdom of God and they'll just stop everybody else just
- 24:21say, don't they say like, don't talk to me about that.
- 24:24I don't want to know that. And this was like people from
- 24:28the past were like this as well. They did the same thing.
- 24:32They rejected God. And Jesus told this story to
- 24:36warn people about this condition.
- 24:39Like once you get there, there's nobody that you can't go back
- 24:42and warn the rest of your family, the rest of the people
- 24:44that you care about. Once you die, you are in your
- 24:49eternal place. And it's so important to make
- 24:56that decision now and not put it to chance where you end up,
- 25:00because when judgment Day is talked about, it's not the
- 25:07placement of where we're going to be.
- 25:09It's either rewards or punishment based on the way we
- 25:14lived our lives. But, and I say rewards for those
- 25:21who have the Holy Spirit, who received the Holy Spirit and
- 25:25surrendered to God, there are certain rewards that will be
- 25:28given. The punishment.
- 25:30I believe there are different levels of punishment for those
- 25:33people who completely rejected God.
- 25:36They're going to be judged by the law because the law doesn't
- 25:39go away, the law stays. So all the laws that God gave
- 25:42remain like the 10 commandments, and how a person treats or
- 25:49responds to the 10 commandments will be their sort of judgment.
- 25:53There may be more laws too, I don't know.
- 25:56But I I do know that those were the ones that God gave.
- 25:59Maybe there's more and maybe it's even more like what Jesus
- 26:03said, but God is just and you know it.
- 26:07Jesus did say do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
- 26:12Again, I think that's not just a a rule from Jesus saying be
- 26:17nice. I think it's it's a safeguard to
- 26:22us like, and he knew much more than what he shared.
- 26:26And so he's telling us to do unto others as we would have
- 26:29done to us. Because in the end, if justice
- 26:33prevails and God is just, that means the things that we do to
- 26:37others will come back to us. And if we look at God's history
- 26:43and what has been documented about how God responds to
- 26:45humans, when when somebody when, when God tests them and maybe
- 26:52they lose things that they didn't want to lose.
- 26:56Throughout the Bible, we see examples of God doubly blessing
- 27:00them. Like Job is a great example of
- 27:02that. And but then on the other hand,
- 27:06when somebody rebels against God and rejects God, they get double
- 27:11the punishment. So God like double S either good
- 27:15things or bad things to a person.
- 27:18And that just is something that I noticed as I read the Bible.
- 27:23So not only will someone who rejects God get punishment, but
- 27:29there's a chance that they from history that's written in the
- 27:32Bible that they could get double the punishment.
- 27:34Like Israel ended up because of their rebellion, they were
- 27:38punished doubly for it. And, and you know, some of the
- 27:43future that is to come is because of their rejection of
- 27:46the Messiah. And the purpose of that
- 27:50punishment, I don't know if it's necessarily punishment.
- 27:54The, the purpose of those hard times are to bring them to
- 27:57repentance, to, to get them to a point where they will finally
- 28:01turn to God when they realize that their, their own strength
- 28:05is worn out. They don't have anything else.
- 28:07All they have left is God. So God does that to a lot of
- 28:11people who probably those who he sees actually have a soft spot
- 28:17in their heart for him. Maybe they've fallen away a
- 28:20little bit, but they do love God and they just were rebellious
- 28:26children and, and God sometimes allows really, really hard times
- 28:33to hit a person, to wake him up and to have them turn to him.
- 28:37It's all out of love when God does this.
- 28:39So anyway, I kind of got a little bit sidetracked, but it
- 28:43going back to verse 12 from chapter 8 because of the
- 28:47rebellion. So that's there's a reason like
- 28:50when somebody rebels, there's something that happens because
- 28:52of the rebellion. The Lord's people and the daily
- 28:56sacrifices were given over to it.
- 28:59This is that powerful horn that comes up, which I think is Satan
- 29:05empowered. It prospered in in everything it
- 29:08did and truth was thrown to the ground.
- 29:12We kind of see that happening right now about truth being
- 29:15thrown to the ground. The things that are just
- 29:18logically that we just know are not even true.
- 29:21For example, gender identity. The truth is thrown to the
- 29:25ground, biological truth is thrown to the ground.
- 29:30And it just seems like, I mean, when I hear that kind of stuff,
- 29:34I think how can even scientific people will support that stuff?
- 29:39And I, and I'm just like, how can you say that when you have a
- 29:42doctor title behind your name? And you can say this because
- 29:47there are some that will say this.
- 29:49And, and I just think that is just the strangest thing.
- 29:52Like how could anyone who knows better say this?
- 29:55But this is probably showing the power of the evil 1.
- 30:00The person who who agrees with any you know gender that you
- 30:07think you are is what you are and disregards biological truth.
- 30:12They are influenced. They're probably have rejected
- 30:15God. I I there's no way that anyone
- 30:19who says that knows God and has a relationship with God because
- 30:24they are not reflecting God. So that means they don't know
- 30:27God, and that also shows like how much power the evil 1 has
- 30:33over a person who doesn't have the Holy Spirit.
- 30:37OK. Verse 13.
- 30:39Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one
- 30:43said to him, how long will it take for this vision to be
- 30:46fulfilled? The vision concerning the daily
- 30:49sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, the surrender
- 30:53of the sanctuary and the trampling under foot of the
- 30:57Lord's people. He said to me it will take 2300
- 31:02evenings and mornings, then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated.
- 31:08Here is a huge, huge, huge error.
- 31:13What I've have found and I don't know how it came to be.
- 31:19And you'd almost have to go to original manuscripts to see to
- 31:26check this out. And I don't have access to that.
- 31:29But what I do have access to is through the Blue Letter Bible.
- 31:34And this is verse 14. So what I noticed here was I I'm
- 31:43using the new King James Version and it says and he said to be
- 31:48for 2300 days, then the sanctuary shall be cleansed.
- 31:53So the only important part that that here's the problem, the
- 31:57translation in the number of days is the problem.
- 32:01But from the time that the daily sacrifices are stopped until the
- 32:08time when the sanctuary is cleansed is a certain number of
- 32:12days. And this is that confusing part
- 32:15that I just could never make sense of.
- 32:17And not until today did it ever make sense.
- 32:21So if you go to the toolbar in the new King James version, it
- 32:24will on the left hand side, it'll have the original King
- 32:28James version. And the reason I'm going to this
- 32:30is because this was the first translation that came to the
- 32:33United States that the United States had.
- 32:35So I think this is like the oldest version and that's why
- 32:39I'm using it. So what did the oldest version
- 32:42version say? And if you read it, it says,
- 32:48I'll just read the King James. It says, and he said unto me,
- 32:52unto 2300 days, then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
- 33:01OK, that seems to say the same thing.
- 33:03It seems to say 2300 days, you know, in another way.
- 33:08But then I look over to the Hebrew words and as I read it,
- 33:15the you OK, there's a second column that's called strongs and
- 33:20it gives a number and you can and then it gives the next
- 33:24column gives the actual Hebrew word and you can hear what it
- 33:29sounds like. And when we get to the phrase
- 33:342000, it's lumped together on the, this is going to be
- 33:39confusing. I don't know how to explain this
- 33:41clearly. So the King James version, the
- 33:44NIV version, they both say 2300 essentially in a different
- 33:51verbal way. But I'm looking at, and this
- 33:56the, the best way for you to do this is to go to
- 33:58blueletterbible.org, get into the new King James Version and
- 34:03look at this. So it's Strong's H5O5.
- 34:08And if I click on that, well, I'm going to tell you what the
- 34:12Hebrew word is. Here it is.
- 34:16Strong's H5O5 Arabic Elif Elif and the Syriac Alifah Alifah.
- 34:29So on the left hand side what it says is 2000.
- 34:35But then when I click on the outline of the biblical usage,
- 34:42it says here's the the definition.
- 34:45It says 1000 as numeral 1000 comma company as a company of
- 34:52men under 1 leader troops. So it gives you the number 1000
- 34:58not 2000. And I want all of you to check
- 35:01it, but I have not found, I don't know, you know, there's a
- 35:06#3. The next thing is the #3 and
- 35:10that is Strong's H7969. And here's the Hebrew word.
- 35:17Strong's H7969. Shalosh, Shalosh and 2nd entry.
- 35:25Shalosh, Shalosh and 3rd entry Shallow Shal, Shallow Shah.
- 35:34So when you get to those words, they actually mean 3.
- 35:39So it says 3 it could be thirteen, 30th, 13th, 3rd thrice
- 35:47it says 3 score and 13 but it says three are tried.
- 35:51The outline of the biblical usage is 3 are triad so it could
- 35:56be 3-3 hundred a third. So it it means 3 essentially.
- 36:01And so here we see that 2000 is lumped together and the actual
- 36:08Hebrew word only says 1000. But the actual three Hebrew word
- 36:14does say 3 and then it does say 100 because the next line is
- 36:19Strong's H3967 and that word is translated as 100 and then it
- 36:27does say days. So those are all like line by
- 36:30line, word by word, they relate to the Hebrew.
- 36:36So my question is, does somebody erroneously copy from Hebrew
- 36:43when they're translating and make it into 2000 somewhere
- 36:47along the line like the that translation?
- 36:50Because it does not look like this is in the Hebrew version.
- 36:54It only says 1000. It does have the rest of it.
- 36:58It has the 1300 days. And so this is Daniel chapter 8,
- 37:06verse 14 that I'm talking about. And maybe I'm going to go into
- 37:13all these numbers right now while we're talking about this
- 37:16and then read through the scripture because this is going
- 37:19to really open up your eyes to things.
- 37:22So I had to do a search because again, I in the past when I've
- 37:27studied this, I got very confused because there's days,
- 37:32different days that are written, like I said, 1335 days.
- 37:36There's this 2300 days that is not 2300 days.
- 37:41It's 1300 if you look at the Hebrew and then there's 12160
- 37:47days or 1260 days. And then there's another error
- 37:54in Daniel 12 verse 11 that I'll get it through, but and I forgot
- 38:00what the number is that we always hear about.
- 38:03I think it's oh, it's it's 1290 days.
- 38:08That's another thing you'll you might be familiar with that from
- 38:11the Bible. Again, that I think is also a
- 38:14messed up number, just like 2300.
- 38:17One 290 is incorrect. It does the same thing instead
- 38:22of the 200 is actually 100. So it's inconsistent with the
- 38:30translation. It's messed up.
- 38:32So the real numbers, the multiple numbers that we have
- 38:37and these are all tied together. This is from Daniel chapter 12,
- 38:42Revelation chapter 12 and also chapter 13 and then Daniel
- 38:47chapter 8. You will find these numbers.
- 38:51What I did is I put them in order so that it could hopefully
- 38:57make a little bit more sense about what all these numbers
- 39:00signify, because a lot of times I was trying to make them match
- 39:04up and they weren't matching up. And what was the difference?
- 39:08You know, one group of numbers had more days than the other.
- 39:12And what does that mean? So here's the order that I
- 39:15found. So from the time the daily
- 39:19sacrifice is abolished until the abomination is set up, there are
- 39:271190 days. The bibles that we have are not
- 39:34correct in the translation, but it's actually 1190 days or 3.3
- 39:41years. So this is when the sacrifice is
- 39:44abolished and the abomination is set up.
- 39:48That's your time frame for that. Then we know that Satan has when
- 39:53he's cast out of heaven, he has 1260 days of time which equates
- 40:00to 3 1/2 years and also represents that time times and
- 40:05half a time that Daniel talks about.
- 40:08And so the interesting part of this is that at the abomination
- 40:19is set up. Then guess how many more days
- 40:22till we get to the 1260 days? It's 70 more days.
- 40:28And that is symbolically significant in Judaism and the
- 40:34way that the Bible has, the way God has orchestrated everything
- 40:40that happened with appointed times and MOA deems.
- 40:43And so here, I mean, if you take 1260 and you subtract 1190,
- 40:51which is the actual number when you translate and look at the
- 40:55Hebrew from Daniel chapter 12 verse 11, the difference between
- 41:01those numbers is 70 more days. So the abomination is set up, 70
- 41:06days later is when Satan's wrath is concluded after that.
- 41:12So the abomination set up, that's probably when he claims
- 41:16to be God and he gets 70 days. Isn't that significant because
- 41:2270 days was the Babylonian exile. 70 days in Judaism has a
- 41:28lot of significance. So let me just read something
- 41:31that I don't know everything about Judaism but I was curious
- 41:35because I know the number 70 represents a lot.
- 41:38So what does this is what I searched.
- 41:40What does the number 70 signify in Jewish culture?
- 41:45Key meanings of 70 in Judaism. Universal nations Derived from
- 41:50the Tower of Babel story, 70 represents the diversity of the
- 41:55world's people and language. Torah interpretation.
- 42:00The Torah has seventy faces, meaning it has countless layers
- 42:05of meaning and interpretation, wisdom and completion.
- 42:10A lifespan of 70 years is seen as a time of wisdom, while the
- 42:17number itself signifies ultimate completeness or wholeness.
- 42:22So remember that when God let's hardship come, he does that with
- 42:28a purpose. So instead of giving them 70
- 42:32years, he's giving them 70 days of Satan.
- 42:37This is my side commentary. This isn't what I found when I
- 42:41searched, but I'm just saying there's significance here.
- 42:45Biblical events. It marks significant historical
- 42:49moments such as the 70 elders, the 70 years in Babylonian
- 42:54exile, and the 70 family members who went to Egypt.
- 43:01Spiritual order as 7 is perfection and 10 is
- 43:05completeness. It embodies perfect spiritual
- 43:09order and divine law. Isn't that interesting?
- 43:13Satan sets up his abomination and he gets 70 days.
- 43:19He gets 70 days of completeness before it's over.
- 43:24He doesn't get any more than that.
- 43:26So the and then it just says exempt.
- 43:31I, we kind of covered those things.
- 43:32So this was a big find for me. Then the next number that we
- 43:39come to is again a number that was messed up in our Bible from
- 43:42Daniel chapter 8 verse 14. And the Bible says 2300.
- 43:48But if you look at the Hebrew, it says the way I see it, 1300,
- 43:54and this is the the time for the sanctuary to be cleansed.
- 44:00So 1300 days is 40 more days to cleanse the sanctuary. 1300 -,
- 44:101260 days is 40. Does 40 seem significant to
- 44:16anyone? I mean, it doesn't take long to
- 44:19figure the flood. Noah's flood lasted for 40 days
- 44:24and 40 nights. It was cleansing the earth 40
- 44:28days and 40 nights. The other 40 was the period of
- 44:33testing in the wilderness when the Israelites came out of
- 44:38slavery. They had to go through 40 days
- 44:41of testing. 40 is often testing. In fact, I didn't really look
- 44:45this up, but the I'm going to look up the same thing.
- 44:49What does the number 40 signify in Jewish culture?
- 44:52Because I'm probably missing something because I'm not
- 44:54Jewish, but listen to this, OK? In Jewish culture, the number 40
- 45:00signifies a period of transformation, testing,
- 45:06preparation and spiritual completion, often marking a
- 45:12significant transition or a time for deep spiritual work seen in
- 45:19events like the 40 days of rain during the flood, Moses's 40
- 45:24days on Sinai, the 40 years of wandering, and the 40 days from
- 45:30Illu to Yom Kippur or repentance.
- 45:34Now that might be really significant.
- 45:37The 40 days, I wonder, I don't know, We're not supposed to date
- 45:41set or anything, but I'm curious if we look at 40 days like Yom
- 45:49Kippur, that's really interesting to see.
- 45:52You know, does this happen around Yom Kippur in the future?
- 45:58I don't know. We'll find out that is, you
- 46:01know, 40 days to cleanse the sanctuary, Yom Kippur, does it
- 46:06end up on Yom Kippur? And which is so ironic because
- 46:10of what is that the Day of Atonement for repentance.
- 46:14That would be that would be a God way of doing things.
- 46:16He talks about the appointed times and the appointed times
- 46:19are MOA deem. That's another thing you'll find
- 46:21out if you look up the Hebrew when it says appointed time,
- 46:26it's Moed Moa deem, which are the festivals, the specific
- 46:36significant days that God told the Hebrews to always pay
- 46:39attention to. Like one of those is the Feast
- 46:41of Tabernacles too. And in fact, I want to see the
- 46:44the time frame between Yom Kippur and the Feast of
- 46:47Tabernacles because if that turns out to be 35 days, that's
- 46:52going to really be significant. I kind of think it isn't, but I
- 46:55don't know because there's the next number 1335 days.
- 47:02Well let me I didn't finish reading this.
- 47:04So from there's 40 days from Illu to Yom Kippur for
- 47:08repentance. It's a time to move from one
- 47:11level to a higher one, requiring endurance and reflection leading
- 47:18to new life or understanding as shown by the 40 years it took a
- 47:23generation to spiritually mature before entering the promised
- 47:27land. Wow.
- 47:29Think about the symbolic significance of this.
- 47:34The altar is cleansed and it takes 40 days to do that before
- 47:40they can enter the promised land.
- 47:43Then Daniel in chapter 12 verse 12, he says there's 1335.
- 47:49It says blessed are those who reach the 1335 days, 1335 days.
- 47:56And, and I was wondering what is significant about that?
- 48:00And that's 35 days after the altar is cleansed.
- 48:05And I do want to check this out, which I haven't done.
- 48:08I'll have to do it after the podcast to see if Yom Kippur to
- 48:12the Feast of Tabernacles could possibly be 35 days.
- 48:18Because if it is, then I'm 100% confident in what I found today.
- 48:24So just to run through these things, the daily sacrifice is
- 48:28abolished and the abomination is set up and there's 1190 days.
- 48:35Satan wrath is 70 more days, which is 1260 days from when the
- 48:41sacrifice is abolished. But then there's another 40 days
- 48:46for the altar to be cleansed and then there's another 30-5 more
- 48:51days where it says there's going to be a blessing if you make it
- 48:54till then. So these are all found in the
- 48:59the 1190 days you can find in Daniel chapter 12 verse 11.
- 49:06When you look at the Hebrew, you will find the right number.
- 49:10Then the 1260 days you'll find in Revelation chapter 12 and 13,
- 49:17it's Revelation chapter 12 verse 60 and Revelation chapter 13
- 49:23verse five, if I wrote that down correctly.
- 49:27And then the 1300 days is the chapter that we're working on
- 49:31right now, Daniel chapter 8 verse 14, which the Bible has
- 49:36the wrong number of days in it, I think from the Hebrew
- 49:39translation. And then 1335 days is 35 more
- 49:45days and that is found in Daniel chapter 12 verse 12.
- 49:48And that's saying that people will be blessed.
- 49:50So huge find in my opinion about the number of days and all of
- 49:56this making sense. And I can't wait to look up to
- 49:58see the 35 days and if that has any significance.
- 50:03So now I'm going to go back to chapter 8, verse 15.
- 50:09While I Daniel was watching the vision and trying to understand
- 50:13it, there before me stood one who looked like a man.
- 50:17And I heard a man's voice from Euli calling Gabriel tell this
- 50:23man the meaning of the vision as he came near the place where I
- 50:27was standing. I was terrified and fell
- 50:29prostate. Son of man, he said to me,
- 50:32understand the vision concerns the time of the end.
- 50:37So right here, you know, when people say that the ram and the
- 50:42goat already happened, that's contradicting the Bible because
- 50:47he's saying, understand this vision concerns the time of the
- 50:50end. So this is the the end times not
- 50:55long ago. So these are things that I think
- 50:57will come up, you know, especially when we're talking,
- 51:02when you're saying, you know, the the Antichrist is
- 51:05represented here. If that's the belief of this man
- 51:08who is empowered by Satan, who successfully defeats the Lord
- 51:13and sets up this abomination that causes desolation, that's
- 51:19hasn't happened yet. So again, just like I'm, I'm
- 51:24assuming it's the Angel Gabriel, but it just says Gabriel tell
- 51:26the man the meaning of this vision.
- 51:29I'm it's sounds like, you know, anyone who's interpreted this to
- 51:36have happened already is contradicting this line right
- 51:41here, which is verse 17. And The thing is that the Bible
- 51:47often foreshadows events. So it it'll have like a preview
- 51:53of something that is yet to come and history repeats itself.
- 51:58And it's also maybe symbolic of what will happen in the future.
- 52:01So what my study Bible says, I believe, you know, that all
- 52:05happened. It does match up.
- 52:06But what it doesn't match up with is that the vision concerns
- 52:10the time of the end. That's where it doesn't, it
- 52:13contradicts that. So it probably the what people
- 52:17have thought up to date was a foreshadowing of this future
- 52:21event because we didn't, we haven't seen the Antichrist.
- 52:24He hasn't, you know, thrown truth to the ground except, you
- 52:28know, it feels like we're leading up to that.
- 52:31And he hasn't, you know, you know, claimed to be God and all
- 52:34these other things that he does. None of that has happened yet.
- 52:37But this is apparently during this time frame when this
- 52:40happens. OK, verse 18, while he was
- 52:44speaking to me, I was in deep sleep with my face to the
- 52:47ground. Then he touched me and raised me
- 52:50to my feet. He said, I am going to tell you
- 52:52what will happen later in the time of wrath.
- 52:58Now again, there's a discrepancy because in the translation wrath
- 53:05isn't specifically stated. However, it does say the time of
- 53:08indignation, which means God's anger against the sin of the
- 53:12world. So that could be translated as
- 53:15wrath. But verse 19 says he said, I'm
- 53:19going to tell you what will happen later in the time of
- 53:22wrath because the vision concerns the appointed time of
- 53:28the end. So look that up in blue letter
- 53:31Bible verse 19 from Daniel 8. You'll see that's a Moed.
- 53:35The appointed time is a moed. It's probably a a feast day of
- 53:42some sort. And that's why all these people
- 53:45that are looking to the return of Jesus look at specific
- 53:49appointed times or MOA deems for the fulfillment of it.
- 53:52Because Jesus did die on the cross on Passover.
- 53:57Passover was symbolic of Jesus the unblemished lamb.
- 54:02So that made that connection. The Pentecost was when the Holy
- 54:10Spirit came and that was I forgot the Jewish word for that.
- 54:17I don't think Pentecost is that just means like 50 days later.
- 54:22There's another word for it, Shavuot, Shavuot, which is
- 54:26Pentecost. So at Shavuot, that's when the
- 54:30Holy Spirit came to the disciples.
- 54:33So that happened on a MOA deem. And then we have the, I think
- 54:40the last one, there were three important dates that they were
- 54:42always to remember. There's more festivals and
- 54:46feasts and things, but there's the fall feast and and you have
- 54:51the Rosh Hashanah, the Feast of Trumpets.
- 54:55You have Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, and you have the
- 54:58Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkot. All of that seems to be like if
- 55:04those are the fall feast and those are the ones that Jesus
- 55:07has not fulfilled. He came to fulfill what the
- 55:12prophets had talked about, fulfill the law.
- 55:16He came and fulfilled Passover. He came and sent the Holy Spirit
- 55:21and fill fulfilled Shavuot. He also fulfilled first fruits
- 55:26because that's when he rose from the dead.
- 55:30But the fall has not been fulfilled yet by Jesus, and we
- 55:35have 3 events that could be significant for various things
- 55:41that happen again. We have Rosh Hashanah, the Feast
- 55:45of Trumpets, we have Yom Kippur, and then we have Sukkot or the
- 55:50Feast of Tabernacles. So I think those are really
- 55:52important dates and they're significant in a lot of ways.
- 55:55If you haven't studied feast days like that in Jewish
- 55:57culture, it's worthwhile because it'll explain a lot of end times
- 56:03significance. OK, going to verse 20, the two
- 56:07horned ram that you saw represents the kings of media
- 56:12and Persia. Again, when you look at the
- 56:14actual Hebrew, you will find out that kings of media and Persia
- 56:22may not mean human beings. And I'll tell you why I say
- 56:27that. It's another verse from Daniel.
- 56:31First of all, we have to let's go back to what Paul said in
- 56:36Ephesians chapter 6, verse 12. For our struggle is not against
- 56:41flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities,
- 56:45against the powers of this Dark World, and against the spiritual
- 56:51forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
- 56:54Yes, there are spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
- 57:00When we're kids, we always think of heaven as a place where, I
- 57:04mean, where the good are. But no, the Bible tells us there
- 57:09are actual spiritual forces of evil there until they get cast
- 57:12out. So we're not fighting against
- 57:15people. There is a spiritual force
- 57:17behind that's affecting people into doing what they want.
- 57:21If they don't have the Holy Spirit, they are open and
- 57:24susceptible to evil spiritual influence.
- 57:27That's how people become demonically possessed.
- 57:31That's how you know when you just, you can't understand how
- 57:35people can go out and murder a bunch of people.
- 57:37It's because they don't have the Holy Spirit, because they've
- 57:40left themselves open. And Jesus even said that when an
- 57:44impure spirit leaves a person, it goes around searching for
- 57:49another host, essentially. And when it doesn't find one and
- 57:53the person doesn't have the Holy Spirit, it comes back to that
- 57:57person, but it brings seven other spirits with it.
- 58:01And that condition of the person is worse than was at the very
- 58:04beginning. So if you pay attention to what
- 58:07Jesus says, it will you put your guard up.
- 58:11You'll want the Holy Spirit because you're not going to want
- 58:14to be technically possessed. You're not going to want to give
- 58:17any opening to any evil spiritual force to affect your
- 58:21life. And people don't talk about that
- 58:24because it's weird. And if you do talk about it,
- 58:26people think you're weird. But it's reality.
- 58:30Jesus talked about it. So if Jesus talked about it and
- 58:33warned people about it, I'm going to do the same.
- 58:36It's Jesus's words, not mine. I'm not making this up.
- 58:39It's truth. And when you read the Bible, you
- 58:43Start learning these things. I didn't know any of this stuff
- 58:46before I read the Bible, but OK. So we have to give the fact that
- 58:53there is there are spiritual forces.
- 58:56Now, Daniel in another part of his, in another book and not
- 59:02another book, another chapter that he wrote, he talked about
- 59:07praying, having it. I'm trying to find where that is
- 59:12because I think I lost that tab that was open.
- 59:16So I'm going to OK, I've got to, I've got to look that up because
- 59:24I lost the tab that I had before.
- 59:27I don't know what I did with it, but it was the of Persia.
- 59:36If you look in the Bible, this is how I will find it on blue
- 59:40letter Bible. So in Daniel chapter 10, verse
- 59:4420, I'm getting I'm tying this into chapter 8.
- 59:49So Daniel says that the two horned ram that you saw
- 59:55represents the kings of media and Persia.
- 59:59That's modern day Iran and. If the theory that God allowed
- 1:00:06allows certain rulers over certain geographical areas, it
- 1:00:14just makes sense. When you look at history and you
- 1:00:17see how different nations react, you will, you will, you will
- 1:00:24notice this like Iran, It's it's hatred of Israel and how
- 1:00:30perpetual it has been. The land of Gaza was the land of
- 1:00:37the Philistines, and the Philistines were constantly at
- 1:00:41war with the Israelites. I think there is something
- 1:00:45spiritual behind this, like there are spiritual forces in
- 1:00:49the heavenly realms that are affecting people who do not
- 1:00:53have, who do not know God and they are causing these things to
- 1:00:58happen. I think October 7th, 2023 was
- 1:01:02some of this. It was a demonic attack against
- 1:01:06Israel. It was demonically inspired and,
- 1:01:10and here's an interesting detail that did come out.
- 1:01:14There was some drug I think called Captagon that these
- 1:01:18people took that came out of Gaza and brutally attacked
- 1:01:23Israel. They this is something else that
- 1:01:27the Bible talks to us about. It says be alert and of sober
- 1:01:30mind because the devil prowls looking for his next victim.
- 1:01:35These human beings were used by spiritual forces to accomplish
- 1:01:40their battle for ultimate control of the earth.
- 1:01:44They are battling against God. The Bible tells us that it is a
- 1:01:48battle of good and evil and because these people are
- 1:01:53ignorant of what's in the Bible and they took a drug that
- 1:01:58enabled that basically gave more authority to evil spiritual
- 1:02:02influences. Why would the Bible tell us be
- 1:02:05alert and of sober mind? Because the devil, the devil
- 1:02:10prowls looking for his next victim.
- 1:02:13Do you think maybe something evil entered those people and
- 1:02:20caused those people to RIP open pregnant women's wombs, bake
- 1:02:26their babies in ovens, rape them, and do all these horrible
- 1:02:31things to them? That's not normal human
- 1:02:34behavior. That's something very evil, very
- 1:02:37demonic, and something that most people will just not comprehend
- 1:02:44somebody doing that. But when you open yourself up to
- 1:02:49evil, you can be used by evil. And that's the great warning in
- 1:02:55the Bible and another reason why we should really protect our
- 1:02:59minds and stay sober, not to give the enemy any access.
- 1:03:05So anyway, going back to Daniel chapter 10, he says in chapter
- 1:03:1210, so he said, do you know why I've come to you soon I will
- 1:03:17return to fight against the Prince of Persia and when I go
- 1:03:23the Prince of Greece will come. Daniel chapter 10 gives us more
- 1:03:28detail about Daniel chapter 8. Now this is Michael and we
- 1:03:35learned something about Michael who is an I, he's called an
- 1:03:39Archangel. But Michael who protects the the
- 1:03:45people of Israel, he is their protector.
- 1:03:49And there is a part when he was this is OK, this is OK, this is
- 1:03:58interesting. So in Daniel chapter 10 verse
- 1:04:0111, he's OK. I need to read more of this.
- 1:04:08Let's start. OK, Daniel's, I'm just going to
- 1:04:16read this because this is we need the whole thing.
- 1:04:19So Daniel chapter 10 verse one, we're going to get it another
- 1:04:22time later, but in the third year of Cyrus, king of Persia.
- 1:04:26So now Babylon's gone, Persia's taken over.
- 1:04:30A revelation was given to Daniel, who was called
- 1:04:34Beltashazzar. It's message was true and it
- 1:04:38concerned a Great War. The understanding of the message
- 1:04:43came to him in a vision. At that time I, Daniel, mourned.
- 1:04:46For three weeks. I ate no choice food, no meat or
- 1:04:51wine touched my lips and I used no lotions at all until the
- 1:04:56three weeks were over. On the 24th day of the first
- 1:05:02month, I was standing on the Bank of the great river the
- 1:05:07Tigris. I looked up, and there before me
- 1:05:10was a man dressed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Euphaz
- 1:05:15around his waist. His body was like Topaz, his
- 1:05:19face like lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms
- 1:05:24and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and his voice
- 1:05:29like the sound of a multitude. I, Daniel, was the only one who
- 1:05:35saw the vision. Those who were with me did not
- 1:05:38see it, but such terror overwhelmed them that they fled
- 1:05:44and hid themselves. So I guess they felt a heavenly
- 1:05:47presence or a spiritual presence.
- 1:05:51So going back. So I was left alone, gazing at
- 1:05:54this great vision. I had no strength left.
- 1:05:57My face turned deathly pale, and I was helpless.
- 1:06:00Then I heard him speaking, and I listened to him.
- 1:06:04I fell into a deep sleep, my face to the ground.
- 1:06:07A hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.
- 1:06:12He said, Daniel, you are highly esteemed, Consider carefully the
- 1:06:17words I am about to speak to you, and stand up, for I have
- 1:06:21now been sent to you. And when he said this to me, I
- 1:06:25stood up trembling. Then he continued, Do not be
- 1:06:28afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set
- 1:06:32your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before
- 1:06:38your God, your words were heard and I have come in response to
- 1:06:43them. So we learned something.
- 1:06:46This Daniel was humbling himself.
- 1:06:48He was trying to understand God, and God was hearing His words
- 1:06:52and responding to them. We can all learn something from
- 1:06:56this if we do the same as Daniel.
- 1:06:58God doesn't have favorites. He responds to people.
- 1:07:02When people do things like this, like what Daniel did.
- 1:07:05It continues in verse 13. But the Prince of the Persian
- 1:07:09Kingdom resisted me 21 days. Then Michael, one of the chief
- 1:07:17Princess, came to help me because I was detained there
- 1:07:22with the king of Persia. So this is a spiritual being and
- 1:07:31he's doing a battle in the heavenly realms, just like Paul
- 1:07:35talked about. And he was, he was trying to get
- 1:07:39to Daniel. And Michael was the only one
- 1:07:42that was helping him, but he was detained by the king of Persia.
- 1:07:48So the Prince of the Persian Kingdom resisted him 21 days.
- 1:07:53He couldn't, he couldn't get to Daniel.
- 1:07:56When we have unanswered prayers or when our prayers take a long
- 1:07:59time to get a message, this could be why it could be
- 1:08:02battling in a spiritual place. They could be coming, but they
- 1:08:06could be resisted by spiritual forces.
- 1:08:09That's what this book is telling us.
- 1:08:12Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your
- 1:08:15people in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to
- 1:08:19come. While he was saying this to me,
- 1:08:21I bowed down with my face toward the ground and was speechless.
- 1:08:24Then one who looked like a man touched my lips and opened my
- 1:08:28mouth and began to speak. I said to the one standing
- 1:08:31before me. I am overcome with anguish
- 1:08:34because of the vision, my Lord, and I feel very weak.
- 1:08:38How can I, your servant, talk with you?
- 1:08:41My Lord, my strength is gone and I can hardly breathe again.
- 1:08:45The one who looked like a man touched me and gave me strength.
- 1:08:49Do not be afraid, you are highly esteemed.
- 1:08:53He said peace, be strong now be strong.
- 1:08:58When he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, Speak my
- 1:09:03Lord, since you have given me strength.
- 1:09:07So he said, do you know why I have come to you?
- 1:09:12Soon I will return to fight against the Prince of Persia,
- 1:09:19and when I go, the Prince of Greece will come.
- 1:09:23So this is interesting because it also refers us back to the
- 1:09:27ram and the goat. Persia media Meads the Medes in
- 1:09:32the Persians are like representative representing the
- 1:09:36ram. It's modern day Iran and and
- 1:09:41he's saying that when he leaves the he's he's fighting, he's
- 1:09:49going to he said he's returning to fight against the Prince of
- 1:09:51Persia. But then when he goes, the
- 1:09:54Prince of Greece will come. And the Prince of Greece is
- 1:09:58actually another translation problem that I have with the
- 1:10:02Bible, because if you look it up and in blue Letter Bible, you
- 1:10:06will find that Greece is actually the ancient city of
- 1:10:11Ionia, or and what is modern day Anatolia?
- 1:10:18Turkey. So it's, I think of, you know, I
- 1:10:22read this and I think Greece and I think Greeks, but it's
- 1:10:25actually Turkey is the area that it's talking about.
- 1:10:30So the goat is probably something from the that area.
- 1:10:35And here's more interesting things about this.
- 1:10:39Well, I I'll read one more sentence.
- 1:10:41So OK, so he said, do you know why I've come to you?
- 1:10:45Soon I will return to fight against the Prince of Persia.
- 1:10:48So this isn't heavenly being or a spiritual being talking to
- 1:10:52Daniel. And when I go, the Prince of
- 1:10:55Greece will come. But first I will tell you what
- 1:10:59is written in the Book of Truth. No one supports me against them
- 1:11:07except Michael, your Prince. So that's how the Jewish people
- 1:11:12have this Michael. I mean, I've heard him called
- 1:11:17the Archangel that overseas Israel, and that's where it also
- 1:11:23seems to support what Paul says, where there's these different
- 1:11:27territories that angelic beings have watch over.
- 1:11:32And they are what's happening in the heavenly realms is somewhat
- 1:11:35influencing what's happening in the earthly place.
- 1:11:40So Michael, is there supporting Israel, but then there's these
- 1:11:45kings of Persia, the kings of Turkey or Greece or whatever you
- 1:11:50want to call. And what's interesting is I
- 1:11:53don't know if I have this called up still, but this was another
- 1:11:57interesting find like about Ionia and what Ionia is.
- 1:12:04It's Ionia refers primarily to an ancient Greek region on the
- 1:12:10western cold coast of Anatolia or modern day Turkey, known for
- 1:12:17its Greek settlements, major cities like Ephesus and Melitus,
- 1:12:21and the birth place of philosophy and then it goes on.
- 1:12:26So anyway, the other part that's interesting about Ionia is the
- 1:12:36Ionia God. I think it's like a Apollo is
- 1:12:40connected with this, yes. OK, so the Ionia God isn't a
- 1:12:46single deity, but refers to mythical figures associated with
- 1:12:50the ancient Greek region of Ionia, primarily Ion, the
- 1:12:57legendary ancestors of the Ionians, a son of Apollo and
- 1:13:05Crusa of the Hellionistic. The concept of Aeon, the God of
- 1:13:09eternal cyclical time, often led to Ionian mystery cults.
- 1:13:16So this relates back to Chapter 7, where these four beasts that
- 1:13:21he sees I believe could perhaps be fallen angels or spiritual
- 1:13:27entities that rule over certain areas.
- 1:13:30Those are the kingdoms that I believe he's talking about.
- 1:13:33Yes, it does relate to land here on earth, but ultimately it's
- 1:13:38only a response to what's happening in the spiritual
- 1:13:42realms between the spiritual beings that are actually
- 1:13:45fighting over territory here on earth.
- 1:13:48And these beasts, I believe are actually the spiritual entities
- 1:13:53that are battling that either influence or will be seen in the
- 1:13:59future in the end times. Or maybe they're just
- 1:14:02spiritually existent and they will orchestrate and possess
- 1:14:08probably people to do their will and to support what their goals
- 1:14:14are. Again, another reason why we
- 1:14:17really need the Holy Spirit. But when you get into the Bible
- 1:14:21and you hear about Ionia and this this Greek one and this is,
- 1:14:25you know, it's really from Turkey and that there is going
- 1:14:29to be someone spiritually that comes from that.
- 1:14:33I mean, that's one of the horns. Remember that comes from Turkey
- 1:14:38is going to be what we know as the Antichrist and that is very
- 1:14:46significant. And when we think about Ionia
- 1:14:53and their God Apollo, and then we look at what it says in
- 1:15:00Revelation, Revelation Chapter 9, verse 11, they had as king
- 1:15:07over them the Angel of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is
- 1:15:13Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon, that is comma
- 1:15:20destroyer. So the destroyer Satan comes to
- 1:15:25seek, kill and destroy. So the Greek God Apollyon is the
- 1:15:30destroyer. The Angel of the abyss is their
- 1:15:36king. Could it be, is it, is it is
- 1:15:41Satan the Angel of the abyss? Is it Satan who has the key to
- 1:15:47open up the abyss when he's cast out of heaven?
- 1:15:52This is all spiritual stuff that I don't think a lot of people
- 1:15:55talk about or have researched. But there are all of these
- 1:15:59connections in the Bible and it really does seem to me that this
- 1:16:04is the truth of what is happening or will happen.
- 1:16:09So the let's go to verse, OK, the two horned ram that you saw
- 1:16:14represents the kings of Media and Persia.
- 1:16:16Again, I think these are spiritual entities.
- 1:16:19The shaggy goat is the king of Greece or Ion.
- 1:16:24You know the Yavon Ion. Look that up in blue letter
- 1:16:27Bible when it talks about this king of Greece.
- 1:16:29That's verse 21 In Daniel chapter 8, you will see what I'm
- 1:16:33talking about connecting Ion to Turkey and connecting their God
- 1:16:40to the destroyer that comes up from the abyss.
- 1:16:44This all ties together like the Book of Revelation and Daniel
- 1:16:49and oh gosh, I think other ones like Zechariah, there's more to
- 1:16:54it too, but I mean definitely Revelation and Daniel tie
- 1:16:57together. So the shaggy goat is the king
- 1:17:01of Greece, or maybe this is this, you know, spiritual entity
- 1:17:04that comes the and the large horn between its eyes is the
- 1:17:09first king. The four horns that replace the
- 1:17:13one that was broken off represent 4 kingdoms that will
- 1:17:17emerge from his nation but will not have the same power.
- 1:17:22Here's another verse that was very significant when I looked
- 1:17:25into it. And this is verse 22.
- 1:17:30So I'm going to tell you there's one word in here that really
- 1:17:33changes the meaning of everything that we understand.
- 1:17:37And it's like I said, verse 22. And when it talks about not not
- 1:17:44by his own power, listen to the word, I'm going to play this for
- 1:17:49you the the Hebrew word when it says not by his own power.
- 1:17:53And I'm going to read you the definition.
- 1:17:54Here's the word. Strong's Age 3581.
- 1:18:03Coash. Coash.
- 1:18:08OK, now here is the outline of the biblical usage.
- 1:18:14Number one, strength, power or might.
- 1:18:17So it's saying not of human strength, then it's saying
- 1:18:19strength of angels. It could be power of God, it
- 1:18:23could be strength of animals, strength produce wealth of soil.
- 1:18:27And then here's another definition of it.
- 1:18:29A small reptile, probably a kind of lizard which is unclean,
- 1:18:35perhaps an extinct animal. The exact meaning is unknown.
- 1:18:42So do you think you know Satan's a serpent?
- 1:18:46He comes from, he's cast out of heaven and it surely sounds like
- 1:18:52he is empowering this, these final kingdoms when he is cast
- 1:18:58down. And that's what the angels say,
- 1:19:00woe to the earth because Satan has fought, you know, fallen and
- 1:19:04his, he knows his time is short. So he doesn't have a lot of
- 1:19:08time. He's got 3 1/2 years to do
- 1:19:11everything he can possibly do. And it looks like he has these
- 1:19:14beasts that are assisting him during this process.
- 1:19:20And when we get to the, you know, like when we were in the
- 1:19:23Book of Revelation, it talks about one beast, which is the,
- 1:19:28the same as what Daniel sees in Chapter 7, that last beast.
- 1:19:34But then so the question that we'd have would be, well, did
- 1:19:37these other beasts already come? Because that's what our study
- 1:19:40Bibles tell us? Or are they going to come up
- 1:19:44right before, like in these end times?
- 1:19:46Is this going to be like kind of like the the concerto, like
- 1:19:51there's going to be all these different beasts that are there.
- 1:19:54Then the Book of Revelation just talks about two, which is
- 1:19:57essentially this, this beast that is very interesting in the
- 1:20:01Book of Revelation. It describes it that it it has
- 1:20:04components on it like the lion, like the bear, like the leopard.
- 1:20:09So it's almost like it it. It brings out those entities.
- 1:20:14So does it bring out when we look at what the the lion, the
- 1:20:18bear, the leopard, those are Babylonian, Medio Persian.
- 1:20:24So we have Babylonian, which is Iraq, we have Medio Persian,
- 1:20:28which is Iran. Then we have this leopard which
- 1:20:31is the ion, which is Turkey. So you have Iraq, Iran and
- 1:20:37Turkey that are like represented in this, this final beast
- 1:20:43because it if it, if this all ties together, if it's the lion,
- 1:20:47the be the bear and the leopard that are visible in this final
- 1:20:52beast. But then when we read another
- 1:20:55part of Daniel, it tells us that in Chapter 7, it it tells us
- 1:21:05that the the beast gets thrown into the the beast was slain.
- 1:21:12This matches up with Revelation. It was in his vision, he says.
- 1:21:15I kept looking until the beast was slain and its body destroyed
- 1:21:19and thrown into the bird into the blazing fire.
- 1:21:22That's what the Book of Revelation tells us will happen
- 1:21:25with the beast entity that's described in Revelation.
- 1:21:28That's like a combination of the first three beasts that were in
- 1:21:33Daniel's dream in Chapter 7. These really tie together a lot,
- 1:21:37but here's verse 12 of Daniel Chapter 7.
- 1:21:41It says the other beast had been stripped of their authority but
- 1:21:47were allowed to live for a period of time.
- 1:21:51So to me, it sounds like all those beasts that my study Bible
- 1:21:56says were the past beast. I think those were
- 1:22:00foreshadowings. But I think all of those beasts
- 1:22:03are going to be present in the last times.
- 1:22:05Because when Daniel has his vision, he says the other beasts
- 1:22:08had been stripped of their authority but were allowed to
- 1:22:11live for a period of time. So the other beasts meaning
- 1:22:16Iraq, Iran, Turkey, and they were, they were allowed to
- 1:22:23continue for a period of time. But this this beast that was
- 1:22:28made-up of components of each one of them was actually
- 1:22:33destroyed. Like the bigger beast that comes
- 1:22:35up at the very end. And you know, when judgement
- 1:22:39happens. So it's when we read I should.
- 1:22:46This is going to be really long, but it's so important.
- 1:22:48Like Revelation chapter 12, this kind of ties it together and I
- 1:22:53think it's important to read this so that you tie the book of
- 1:22:56Daniel into the Book of Revelation.
- 1:22:58So the woman in the dragon, Revelation chapter 12, verse
- 1:23:02one, a great sign appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the
- 1:23:06sun and with the moon under her feet and a crown of 12 stars.
- 1:23:09She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give
- 1:23:13birth. Then another sign appeared in
- 1:23:17heaven, an enormous red dragon with 7 heads and 10 horns and
- 1:23:23seven crowns on its head. So the dragon, we know from
- 1:23:27another part of the Bible that it gives authority to the beast.
- 1:23:30The beast has the seven heads and the 10 horns and the seven
- 1:23:32crowns on its head. So it's kind of like the dragon
- 1:23:36is possessing this beast and the dragon is Satan because this is
- 1:23:44clarified later on in scripture. So it's tail swept 1/3 of the
- 1:23:49stars out of the sky and flung them to earth.
- 1:23:52The stars are also heavenly host fallen angels.
- 1:23:56OK. The dragon stood in front of the
- 1:23:59woman who was about to give birth.
- 1:24:01Israel is the woman about to give birth so it might devour
- 1:24:05her child. The moment he was born, she gave
- 1:24:09birth to a son, a male child who will rule all the nations with
- 1:24:14an iron scepter. That's Jesus.
- 1:24:16And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne.
- 1:24:20Jesus resurrected to God on his throne.
- 1:24:23The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared
- 1:24:27for her by God where she might be taken care of for 1260 days.
- 1:24:32We had talked about that this is the time that, you know, Satan
- 1:24:36gets comes down to the earth and Israel is protected for 1260
- 1:24:43days. Then war broke out in heaven.
- 1:24:47So again we see this is a spiritual battle.
- 1:24:50Michael, you know, he's the one who talked to Daniel, and you
- 1:24:54know he supports Israel. Daniel and his angels fought
- 1:24:59against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought
- 1:25:02back. So we have good angels and bad
- 1:25:05angels. But he was not strong enough,
- 1:25:08and they lost their place in heaven.
- 1:25:10The great dragon was hurled down.
- 1:25:13The ancient serpent called the devil.
- 1:25:16Again, there's that serpent. Remember we were talking about a
- 1:25:18lizard that they were empowered by something, a lizard that may
- 1:25:22be extinct but they don't really know what.
- 1:25:24It was that word that starts with AK that we just heard.
- 1:25:28So the great dragon was hurled down, that ancient serpent
- 1:25:30called the Devil or Satan, who leads the whole world astray.
- 1:25:33He was hurled to the earth and his angels with him.
- 1:25:38Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say, now have come
- 1:25:41salvation in the power of the Kingdom of our God and the
- 1:25:43authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers
- 1:25:46and sisters who accuses them before our God, day and night
- 1:25:50has been hurled to the earth. So in heaven they're cheering
- 1:25:53because Satan is gone, and it says they triumphed over him by
- 1:25:59the blood of the Lamb. That's Jesus, his protection,
- 1:26:02Believing in Jesus, and by the word of their testimony, they
- 1:26:07did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
- 1:26:12So even if it causes us to have to die but not denounce Jesus,
- 1:26:18our belief in Jesus, that's really important because it does
- 1:26:21say that in these times that there will be people who believe
- 1:26:25in Jesus who will be beheaded. We're actually seeing that in
- 1:26:28Nigeria. And so they are a part of this.
- 1:26:32Those people in Nigeria who were executed will actually reign
- 1:26:36with Christ when he returns. Revelation verse 12.
- 1:26:41Therefore you heavens and you who dwell in them, therefore
- 1:26:46rejoice you heavens and you who dwell in them.
- 1:26:49So all the people who were beheaded and all the people in
- 1:26:53heaven, they're celebrating because Satan is gone from
- 1:26:56heaven and he's not allowed back in.
- 1:26:58But woe to the earth and the sea because the devil has gone down
- 1:27:04to you. He is filled with fury because
- 1:27:07he knows that his time is short. He's got that 3 1/2 years.
- 1:27:13When the dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he
- 1:27:16pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.
- 1:27:20So he's going after Israel first.
- 1:27:23The woman was given 2 wings of a great eagle so that she might
- 1:27:27fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness where she
- 1:27:31could be taken care of for time, times, and half a time out of
- 1:27:36the serpent's reach. God is protecting his remnant,
- 1:27:40and it's for 3 1/2 years. Time is 1, times is 2, and like
- 1:27:462 times. I mean that I guess that's not
- 1:27:50all that clear to me, but biblical scholar scholars say
- 1:27:55that time, times and half a time represent 3 1/2 years, which
- 1:27:59does match up with the 1260 days.
- 1:28:03Verse 15. Then from his mouth the serpent
- 1:28:06spewed water like river to overtake the woman and sweep her
- 1:28:11away with the torrent. But the earth helped the woman
- 1:28:14by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the
- 1:28:16dragon had spewed out of his mouth.
- 1:28:19Not quite sure what all that means symbolically, but I guess
- 1:28:22eventually we will. Then the dragon was enraged at
- 1:28:27the woman Israel and went off to wage war against the rest of her
- 1:28:33offspring. And here's the definition of who
- 1:28:35her offspring are. Those who keep God's commands
- 1:28:40and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.
- 1:28:45So Christian persecution is definitely coming these it's
- 1:28:52here already and it's going to continue until Jesus returns,
- 1:28:57unfortunately. But that's what the Bible tells
- 1:28:59us. These beasts that rise up are
- 1:29:02empowered by Satan. They will be coming against
- 1:29:05people here on earth. So do you wonder why I keep
- 1:29:09saying we need the Holy Spirit? We need the Holy Spirit to
- 1:29:13assure, ensure where we end up, what no matter what happens to
- 1:29:19us, that we end up in God's Kingdom.
- 1:29:23Don't waste your time because I think this is going to happen
- 1:29:27suddenly and unexpectedly, just like the flood happened where
- 1:29:32Noah was building this ark for however long he was and people
- 1:29:35were probably making fun of him. And then when it came, they were
- 1:29:39shocked. It says that people were giving
- 1:29:42it in marriage, they were drinking and eating and
- 1:29:44everything was going life was normal and suddenly this came
- 1:29:47upon and the same thing in Scripture says when when they
- 1:29:52say peace or peace and security, then comes sudden destruction.
- 1:29:57What are we hearing globally? This whole Abraham Accords is
- 1:30:02really like that started in 2020, is growing and growing and
- 1:30:08growing to include other nations.
- 1:30:11And I think people are starting to feel like this is really
- 1:30:14good. We're getting everybody on
- 1:30:15board. There's going to be peace, but
- 1:30:17then comes sudden destruction. That's what the Bible tells us.
- 1:30:21So is that when Satan gets cast down, when the sudden
- 1:30:25destruction comes upon us, is that when these beasts are
- 1:30:29empowered by Satan and they can wreak havoc and it's going to be
- 1:30:34a time that has never been before nor will ever be again.
- 1:30:38That's what Jesus said, the great distress that has never
- 1:30:42happened before. There is nothing that any of us
- 1:30:45can do to prepare for this. Like by, you know, survival
- 1:30:50means. There's nothing that we can
- 1:30:52prepare except having the Holy Spirit.
- 1:30:57And there's, you know, when you have the Holy Spirit, you don't
- 1:30:59have fear. The Holy Spirit brings courage,
- 1:31:02comfort, it brings the Holy Spirit.
- 1:31:05He brings all these things to us.
- 1:31:08We have to believe in Jesus, believe in his death and
- 1:31:10resurrection that that actually happened.
- 1:31:13And then ask Jesus for the Holy Spirit if you truly believe and
- 1:31:18you truly want to live the way God says we should live.
- 1:31:22If you're willing, that's what it.
- 1:31:23If you're willing, not if you're doing it right now.
- 1:31:26Don't wait until you are a better person.
- 1:31:30I made that mistake. Do it right now and just say
- 1:31:33Jesus, I'm a mess right now. Send the Holy Spirit to clean my
- 1:31:37life up. Don't wait any longer.
- 1:31:40If you're hearing this message, do it right now.
- 1:31:42And you haven't done that, Do it right now.
- 1:31:45And if you know anyone who needs to hear this message, please
- 1:31:48send it to him right now. Because when this sudden thing
- 1:31:51comes upon us, there's not time to prepare.
- 1:31:54Then time's already passed. You're, you're stuck.
- 1:31:58And if you are not ready when this happens, Jesus comes
- 1:32:02shortly after this happens the way that he told the sequence of
- 1:32:07events in Matthew chapter 24. There's going, we're going to
- 1:32:12see this great destruction 1st and then Jesus will come.
- 1:32:17So that's the way I read the Bible.
- 1:32:20So, you know, I know there's other interpretations of that,
- 1:32:25but when I was searching it, I just, I keep going back to what
- 1:32:29Jesus said. And I don't think that, I mean,
- 1:32:32it's wise to prepare then no matter what happens, you're
- 1:32:36prepared. If Jesus decides to rescue those
- 1:32:41who prepared themselves in advance before any of this
- 1:32:46happens, God can do that if he wants to.
- 1:32:50But the way I read the Bible, it seems like it's going to come
- 1:32:53afterwards. And I could be misinterpreting
- 1:32:57the Bible and I'm open to that. There are times where I think
- 1:33:01maybe it's true. I think it's definitely pre
- 1:33:04wrath that Jesus brings us. But there's this this period of
- 1:33:08Satan's wrath. That's not necessarily God's
- 1:33:10wrath, it's Satan's wrath. So just get get prepared by
- 1:33:18getting close to God and receiving the Holy Spirit.
- 1:33:22So going back, oh boy, I went off on a tangent there.
- 1:33:26So verse 22 we read verse 23 in the latter part of their reign
- 1:33:32when rebels have become completely wicked, a fierce
- 1:33:36looking king. Now when you look up this fierce
- 1:33:40looking king, it this is another verse, verse 23 from chapter
- 1:33:48eight that has this this word in it that again leads me to this
- 1:33:56angelic being, these fallen angels.
- 1:33:59And I'll tell you what that is because it says a OK, it says a
- 1:34:04man of in the King James version of fierce countenance.
- 1:34:09And I looked up countenance. Here's the word.
- 1:34:14Strong's Age, 6440. Panem Panem Cassinius Lexicon.
- 1:34:24Penu Ale. Penu Ale.
- 1:34:27Second Entry. Penniale, Penniale.
- 1:34:35OK, then when I look up the definition of this, it says
- 1:34:39face. It says face.
- 1:34:41Are faces presence person, a face of seraphim or cherubim,
- 1:34:47face of animals face the surface of a ground, all those things.
- 1:34:54I mean, think about this. What did Ezekiel see these I
- 1:34:59guess they were seraphim or cherubim, but they had multiple
- 1:35:04faces. These creatures, these living
- 1:35:06creatures had multiple faces. And that's one of the
- 1:35:10definitions of this word that was just read to you.
- 1:35:14And so this is a man with with a fierce countenance.
- 1:35:20So what if it is the, you know, a, a fallen Angel, and it says
- 1:35:27that he has a fierce countenance and understanding dark
- 1:35:30sentences, they talk about riddles, but that word dark is
- 1:35:35associated with it. And you know, that's opposite of
- 1:35:39light. So it's something evil that is
- 1:35:42coming, and it says a fierce countenance.
- 1:35:46It's a strong, mighty, fierce, strong, vehement, harsh, fierce,
- 1:35:51greedy, mighty power roughly strong.
- 1:35:55This is the description of this man that comes from this in the
- 1:36:03latter part of their reign. These are talking about the
- 1:36:06beast. When the rebels have become
- 1:36:08completely wicked, a fierce looking king, a master of
- 1:36:13intrigue, will arise. He will become very strong, but
- 1:36:19not by his own power. That's that same word, KOA, that
- 1:36:24we talked about. Not by his own power.
- 1:36:27He's empowered by angelic beings, by spiritual beings,
- 1:36:32evil spiritual beings. He will cause astounding
- 1:36:36devastation and will succeed in whatever he does.
- 1:36:41He will destroy those who are mighty, the holy people.
- 1:36:46He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself
- 1:36:51superior. When they feel secure, pay
- 1:36:56attention to that. When they feel secure, He will
- 1:37:00destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of Princess.
- 1:37:07I believe that's Jesus, yet he will be destroyed by not, but
- 1:37:11not by human power. I think that's when Jesus
- 1:37:15returns. The vision of the evenings and
- 1:37:18mornings that has been given to you is true, but seal up the
- 1:37:22vision, for it concerns the distant future.
- 1:37:26I, Daniel, was worn out as I I lay exhausted for several days.
- 1:37:31Then I got up and went about the King's business.
- 1:37:35I was appalled by the vision. It was beyond beyond
- 1:37:39understanding. So when Daniel got all of this,
- 1:37:43he it really shook him. And I think it's something that
- 1:37:51it is something bigger than what we ever anticipated.
- 1:37:56And there is, you know, when we talked about the one the beast
- 1:38:04in the Book of Revelation where and Daniel Chapter 7, it talks
- 1:38:09about the then I continue to watch because of the boastful
- 1:38:13words the horn was speaking. I kept looking until the beast
- 1:38:17was slain and the body and the body destroyed and thrown into
- 1:38:21the blazing fire. That's from Chapter 7 and that's
- 1:38:25that that last beast. And I also think that is one of
- 1:38:30the beings that comes out of that, that goat that he saw in
- 1:38:35the next vision. Sometimes visions interpret
- 1:38:38prior dreams. And I think these do run
- 1:38:41together. These these do explain a little
- 1:38:44bit more detail. In Revelation chapter 19, it
- 1:38:48talks about the beast being captured and with it the false
- 1:38:51prophet who had performed the signs on his behalf.
- 1:38:54With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark
- 1:38:57of the beast and worshipped his image.
- 1:38:59The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of
- 1:39:04burning sulfur. So just what Daniel saw about
- 1:39:07this beast was thrown into the blazing fire.
- 1:39:11Revelation says they were thrown into the burning lake of
- 1:39:15sulphur. And then in Revelation chapter
- 1:39:1720 verse 10, it says and the devil who deceived them was
- 1:39:22thrown into the lake of burning sulphur where the beast and the
- 1:39:28false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and
- 1:39:32night forever and ever so again because the devil is locked up
- 1:39:41for 1000 years during Jesus reign, but then he comes back
- 1:39:44again to deceive the nations and but he is then cast into the
- 1:39:52same place where the beast and the false prophet went.
- 1:39:55So there are separate entities but they all end up in the same
- 1:39:59place. And if you we don't have the
- 1:40:01Holy Spirit, we're going to end up in that same place.
- 1:40:08So I don't know if I should read one more chapter or not with
- 1:40:15these dates in it. This is already, oh, it's an
- 1:40:18hour and 40 minutes. So I don't think I'm going to
- 1:40:20read. But Daniel, chapter 12, that's
- 1:40:23that's very important. It ties in.
- 1:40:25It explains a lot. But we will get to that when
- 1:40:27we're reading. So I'm not going to go over
- 1:40:29that. I'm just going through all the
- 1:40:31different tabs that I have opened and seeing if there's
- 1:40:35anything more that I should talk about before I end this podcast.
- 1:40:39I know this is super long, but hopefully it was.
- 1:40:44You learn something from it. I learned something and I didn't
- 1:40:46even know I was going to learn something until I started
- 1:40:49reading this and all of a sudden these thoughts and research,
- 1:40:51then I started learning more things just today.
- 1:40:55So you're learning it at the same time as me.
- 1:40:58And if you have any questions about it, pray about it to God
- 1:41:01and talk it over with someone who is more versed in knowledge
- 1:41:07than I. And let me know if you do find
- 1:41:10anything that is substantiated by the Bible or elsewhere that
- 1:41:16is worth looking into, because I don't want to spread anything
- 1:41:20false when I'm saying these things.
- 1:41:22But I'm just telling you what I found and telling you to check
- 1:41:25it out and consider it. But most importantly, be
- 1:41:30prepared by receiving the Holy Spirit.
- 1:41:35And if you found this helpful, please subscribe.
- 1:41:39Because we'll be covering more. Chapters and also share with
- 1:41:43other people and this is a way that by doing this I stay in the
- 1:41:49word because it's important for us to not take our our eyes off
- 1:41:52Christ and to stay in the word and we learn something.
- 1:41:56You never know when you're going to learn something, just like I
- 1:41:58had no idea I would learn anything today, but I have so
- 1:42:02hope you come back for the next one.
- 1:42:04Thank you.
