Daniel Chapter 11

Daniel Chapter 11: 1 – 2 1 Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him. In the first verse of Daniel 11 the speaker is an angel sent by God. It can be demonstrated that this is the Angel Gabriel which will be demonstrated at a later time as not to distract from the present topic. 2 And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia. Verse 2 speaks of 3 kings Persian kings. The description given of these 3 kings is most accurately recorded in history.. They were Cambyses son of Cyrus, Smerdis (also known as Bardiya) an imposter and Darius Hystaspes. The fourth king after Darius Hystaspes was Xerxes. It should be pointed out that although there were several other kings after Darius the Mede. This Darius was also the Darius which was tricked into throwing Daniel into the lion’s den. Darius the Mede reigned as king of Babylon contemporaneously with and under the regency of Cyrus the Persian king, but Daniel 11 verse 2 speaks speciafically of 3 kings of … Continued

All the Messages from 1840 through 1844

What are “All the Messages from 1840 through 1844.” Well the answer would be that basically they are the “The Three Angel Messages” of Revelation 14. In general The Three Angel Messages and the Sanctuary Message are contained in the 1843 and 1850 charts. So you could almost say the The Three Angels Messages, the Sanctuary Message and the 1844 and 1850 charts are all one and the same thing. That would be kind of similar to the fact that Jesus, the Holy Spirit and God are one. This is not the introduction of a new doctrine, but It’s just to say they are similar in the fact that it’s three different aspects of basically one and the same thing. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are so much of one that they are in fact one, for as the scripture says, “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:” {Deut. 6:4} Yet we know for a fact the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit are three persons. God has not revealed all to humanity and the nature of God is one of the things that is still beyond our understanding. The point is that Jesus, God the Father and the Holy Spirit are three persons, yet they are so close and have such a … Continued

Revelation Chapter 13

1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, … Continued

Daniel Chapter 7

1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters. 2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. Remember that when the Bible uses the word “Sea,” figuratively it is speaking of peoples, nations, multitudes and tongues as is shown in {Revelation 17:15} 3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. Remember also that when the Bible uses the word “Beast,” or “Beasts,” figuratively it is referring to nations. Daniel Chapter 7 speaks a lot about Beasts, as a matter of fact it speaks about 4 Beasts. If you scroll down to {Daniel 7:17} and {Daniel 7:23} it says that the fourth beast is a fourth nation. Therefore all the beasts spoken of in this chapter are one of these four beasts/kingdom combinations. This also reinforces the fact that the “Sea” referred to people, because a nation must come up out of a sea of people. 4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, … Continued

Daniel

There can be no doubt that the book of Daniel was written by Daniel himself. Many people say that Daniel was written one or two hundred years after the Lord was crucified, yet both Robert Dick Wilson and modern science prove that the only time in which the Book of Daniel could possibly be written in was the 6th century BC. Matthew 24:15-16 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:) 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: When speaking of the Abomination of Desolation, Jesus Himself signified that His disciples (whom you should be if you’re reading this article) should understand the prophesies of Daniel. Daniel is a book that teaches about both prophesy and health. Most of us understand it as a book of prophesy, but how can it be considered a book of health? As you probably know, in the Old Testament God gave the law to Israel. Part of that law was a health law. The Israelites were given a diet. God promised them that if they heeded his law diligently He would protect them from the diseases of Egypt. Faithfully did Daniel abide in those health laws. If thou wilt diligently hearken to … Continued

Daniel Chapter 1

1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it. What is the Time Frame of the Book of Daniel It has been well established by historians that Jehoiakim was appointed king by Necho II, King of Egypt, in 608 BC. Therefore this event occurred in 604 BC as years of the King of this time were often counted after the first year was completed. So in other words, he became King in 608, but his first year was not counted unil 607 BC and therefore the third year of Jehoiakim was 604 BC. To see the historical documentation of this on wikipedia click → this link. 2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god. Verse 1 and 2 document 5 historical facts: Jehoiakim was king of Judah; Nebuchadnezzar was king of Babylon; Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem; Jahoiakim fell into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar; Nebuchadnezzar took a portion of the sacred vessels of the house of God and carried them to Babylon The Bible is the most historically … Continued
