Pamphlet 5047 KC Daniel 21-2

You can call it speculation if you like…
but I tell you this,
even if you consider this solely as a type and an overlay,
you should be touched and strengthened by it.

We also find in Daniel 11:1 where Gabriel inserts a parenthetical statement while talking to Daniel, telling him that two years prior in the 1st year of Darius the Mede (Cyrus) that he "stood to confirm and to strengthen him", and now he has come to show Daniel the truth.

Daniel 11:1-2    (Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.)
[2]And now will I shew thee the truth...
Now Gabriel is going to do the same thing to Daniel, i.e. strengthen and confirm him by showing him the truth, i.e. giving him understanding of what is to befall his people.
By the way, do you not also find it very interesting that from the beginning of the war in Iraq until the fall of Baghdad on the Tigris River when the "image" (statue) of Saddam Hussein was taken down, was exactly 21 days?

This was same amount of time Daniel was "mourning" and the same amount time Gabriel was with the prince of Persia until Michael came!

 

Anyway you want to look at or speculate concerning the prince of Persia noted here in chapter 10 (for we formerly taught that he is a type of Satan because Gabriel is an angel who would not be fighting against a flesh man, though he is here confronting Daniel to strengthen him, isn't he?), let there be no doubt that the land of Babylon of today has been given into the hands of the latter day type of the kings of the Medes and Persians which we were given in chapter eight are the two horns of the ram, Ephraim and Manasseh, who today are Great Britain and the United States respectively.

Is this not truly amazing?

Again, call it speculation if you like… but I tell you this, even if you consider this solely as a type and an overlay, you should be touched and strengthened by it.

Let us be reminded once again that it is Michael fightingwith his angels who casts Satan and his host from heaven to the earth.
Rev. 12:7-9 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Again, do you not think the ram has had some divine help in fighting against the earthly type of the king of Babylon?

Don't forget my friend, this is one nation under God!

[8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
It is not even a close contest because our Father has ALL power in both heaven and earth.

Remember the name Michael means "Who is like God?"

Remember also how President Bush quoted from Isaiah 40:26?

Have you read that chapter which is often called the second book of Isaiah because it introduces the Messiah?

Just read the verse prior to the one President Bush quoted and you should be able to make the "Michael" connection!

Isaiah 40:25-26 "To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. [26] Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: He calleth them all by names by the greatness of His might, for that He is strong in power; not one faileth."

[9] And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Yes, there will be war and fighting in heaven that brings about the entering in of the "little horn", the abomination of desolation, the spurious messiah, who is Satan who comes posing as God.

This event WILL OCCUR before the true Messiah, Jesus Christ, returns at the sound of the 7th Trump.

Read what the Apostle Paul said about this for you must understand the sequence of events if you truly want to understand the prophecies concerning the end of this age, and not be seduced by Satan and his angelic host.

2 Thes. 2:1-8
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
The subject is our gathering together with Christ at His return.
[2] That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
[3] Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
"That day" refers to our gathering back to Jesus Christ!

It isn't going to happen today, guaranteed.

Why?

Because the son of perdition, the son who has sentenced to perish, must appear FIRST.

[4] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
The "little horn" comes and exalts himself as God!

He is the abomination who makes desolate, the one who appears in Jerusalem, the holy place, and claims that he is Jesus Christ the Messiah and performs great signs and wonders to deceive the whole world.

[5] Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
Remember also how many times we've read of this already in the Book of Daniel?
[6] And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

[7] For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

Verses 6 and 7 read a little awkward in the King James.

Paul is talking about Satan, who will come first (before Jesus) when the one who is holding him back let's him go, and he shall sit in the temple claiming to be God.

Here is how verses 6 and 7 read from the Living Bible:

2 Thes. 2:6
And you know what is keeping him from being here already; for he can come only when his time is ready.
Everything happens according to our Father's timeline, when He says so!

This goes for the time when Michael stands up and casts Satan, the son of perdition, out of heaven to this earth (Rev. 12:7-9).

[7]As for the work this man of rebellion and hell will do when he comes, it is already going on, but he himself will not come until the one who is holding him back steps out of the way.
The one who is holding back the son of perdition, the little horn, the dragon, etc., ad nauseum, is Michael!

We just read it in Revelation chapter 12.

Here's verse 8 of 2 Thes 2.

[8] And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
The "stone" cut out without hands is the Lord Jesus Christ, our Rock, who will come and smash this beast!

Remember?

One more verse in Daniel. The angel is speaking to him.
[14] Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.
The people in the latter days are...... guess who?  You and me and all of our friends and neighbors and relatives.  Daniel, beloved of God, was given this vision for us. The "prince of Persia" tried to prevent the angel from delivering it to Daniel because he didn't what you and me to know. Too bad, Satan. Our Father sees to it that his beloved are well informed and in the know! He takes care of His own.

It is important that YOU Read it all!

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 God.
The book of Daniel is the Apocalypse of the Old Testament
and a sister book to the Apocalypse of the New Testament,
the book of Revelation.

To 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.
