Pamphlet 5010 KC Daniel 1-2 xxxxxHow exciting it is to be living in these last days!
Jesus Christ came at His first advent
to ride upon a lowly ass,
to pay the price for our sins,
and to bring salvation to whosoever
will turn to Him in repentance and believe in Him.
However, when He returns at the
second advent following the reign of antichrist,
the king of Babylon of these last
days of whom Nebuchadezzar was a type,
He will be riding on a white horse
with the armies which were in heaven following Him also riding upon white
horses,
clothed in fine linen, white and
clean (which is the righteousness of the saints).
He will be coming to smite the nations
and to establish the ruling kingdom
of God upon this earth and to rule with a rod of iron (discipline to His
Word)
and to tread the winepress of the
fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Rev. 19:14-16
And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.[15] And out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
[16] And he hath on His vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
It is a king and His domain, i.e. that which He has dominion over.
Jesus Christ is coming with His saints to establish dominion over all the earth!
Daniel 7:13-14
I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.[14] And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
We read about this in the Book of JO-EL (Yah is God)!
Joel 3:11-14
Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.
[12]Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
[13] Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.[14] Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
And you "see", His saints shall rule and judge with Him for those 1000 years.
This too we shall cover later in our study of Daniel.
Daniel 7:22
Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
To that end, we will find in the
opening verses that not only were Daniel and his companions,
Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednedo,
of the royal seedline of Judah,
which is the kingship line,
but they all held government positions,
further documenting to those with
eyes to see and ears to hear concerning their destinies.
We will also find that they are
all brought before and/or delivered up to the king of Babylon,
but they do not bow a knee to his
image... even in the face of almost certain death,
which brings us to the next point
of preface.
The events that transpire in the
Book of Daniel take place during the reign and captivity of the king of
Babylon
(there were three sieges).
You "see", we do not find in Daniel
the chapter by chapter, line by line teaching
that we find in the great Book
of EZEK-I-EL, whose name means "God is my strength".
Ezekiel is the handbook of the watchmen,
the shepherding to the House of
Israel after the manner of "Thus saith the Lord"
and "It is written".
For
after the sound of the 6th Trump,
the
warning that the false messiah comes first will no longer go forth.
Why?
Because he will already be here!
Therefore the delivering up and
the warning
and the witness to the nations
of the world that the true King of kings is coming
(announcing the 7th Trump)
shall be accomplished exactly as
Christ said it would in Mat. 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21.
It will be at that time that the
Holy Spirit will speak through His elect
who give His witness and His testimony.
In fact, those who are delivered
up are instructed not to even premeditate
nor give anxious thought as to
what they will say!
Mark 13:9-10
But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.[10] And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
Matthew specifically refers to that
which must be heralded as the gospel of the kingdom,
which is the good news (but not
to many nations)
that the
King and His dominion is coming and that the walls of this unholy,
ungodly One World System is going
to come tumbling down.
Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel
of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world
for a witness unto all nations;
and then shall the end come."
Some of God's elect will be privileged
to be delivered up
and give that testimony unto all
nations.
How exciting it is to be living in these last days!
Also, those of you who are familiar
with your Father's Word
know that there are only two churches
out of the seven in Rev. 2 & 3 that Jesus Christ finds no fault with.
They are the two churches of Philadelphia
and Smyrna
who both have the same doctrine
and teach concerning the kenites (Rev. 2:9 & 3:9)
but their works are somewhat different.
Do not misunderstand, for there
is there is only one body,
but there are different works and
destinies,
i.e. jobs to do, by the different
members of that body.
We will discuss this further later on in our study.
Finally, our preface to the Book
of Daniel
would not be complete without emphasizing
that Jesus Christ Himself referred to the
words of the prophet Daniel
as the book for the reader to understand
concerning the abomination of desolation,
who is antichrist, the king of
Babylon of the last days,
i.e. Satan posing as Jesuswho
comes at the sound of the 6th Trump
and stands in the holy place bringing
in his storm of deception and flood of lies upon the earth.
Matthew 24:15
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
In other words, the historic
part is written in the language of the Gentiles
because it deals with "the times
of the Gentiles" and their supremacy in relation to Israel.
The prophetic part deals with
"the time of the end"
and the events leading up to
the restoration of the Kingdom of Israel.
Jesus said, "the book of Daniel was where one could go read and gain understanding"
Jesus Christ told us in Matthew 24 and Mark 13 when He sat upon the Mount of Olives and gave His disciples the seven seals concerning the knowledge and the events that would transpire during the final generation of the fig tree, that the book of Daniel was where one could go read and gain understanding concerning the abomination of desolation, that abominable desolator (antichrist) who would come stand in the holy place claiming to be GodTo study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
