THE BOOK OF DANIEL (CHAPTER ELEVEN---PART ONE)

PAST AND PRESENT PROPHECIES.

Daniel 11:1 (Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede (CYRUS), even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.)

THIS VERSE IS PARENTHETICAL, TO TELL US WHAT THE ANGELIC SPEAKER HAD DONE TWO YEARS PREVIOUSLY (426 B.C.).

PART OF CHAPTER 11 IS HISTORY.

11:2 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.

CAMBYSES, THE PSEUDO-SMERDIS, AND DARIUS HYSTAPES. WE KNOW FROM THIS VERSE THAT THERE WERE THREE, AFTER CYRUS, AND A FOURTH. WHOEVER HE WAS, HE WAS SUCCEEDED BY THE "MIGHTY KING" OF VERSE 4 (ALEXANDER THE GREAT).

THIS FOURTH KING WILL STIR UP ALL AGAINST THE REALM OF GRECIA BY STRENGTHENING HIMSELF IN HIS RICHES.

11:3 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.

THE MIGHTY KING OF THE FUTURE IS "LITTLE HORN"=SATAN.

11:4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven (THE FOUR WINDS HOLD THE VERY END OF THIS EARTH AGE; REV. 7); and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those (BESIDE THOSE FOUR).

FOUR CONTEMPORARY KINGS.

THERE IS A BREAK BETWEEN THE PAST AND THE FUTURE, WHICH IS FROM 10:14, OF WHICH THIS CHAPTER IS THE CONTINUATION.

11:5 And the king of the south (EGYPT) shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.

KING OF THE SOUTH=EGYPT WITH REFERENCE TO JUDEA.

IN 1948, ISRAEL BECAME A NATION FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE CHRIST WALKED THE EARTH. IT WAS BROUGHT TO CONCLUSION IN 70 A.D., BY A ROMAN GENERAL NAMED TITUS.

11:6 And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north (BABYLON) to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand (THE KING OF THE NORTH), nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times.

THIS IS ALL HISTORY, FUTURE TO DANIEL.

KING OF THE NORTH= BABYLON=PERSIAN GULF.

HUSSEIN ORDERED THE CITY OF BABYLON REBUILT (HISTORY).

SADAT OF EGYPT WAS FRIENDS WITH THE EMPEROR OF IRAN (KING OF THE NORTH).

IN ANCIENT HISTORY IT WAS PTOLEMY. BERENICE, WAS THE DAUGHTER OF PTOLEMY II (PHILADELPHUS) OF EGYPT.

THE KING OF THE NORTH WAS ANTIOCHUS, NORTH WITH REFERENCE TO JUDEA.

THEY MADE AN AGREEMENT TO COME TO TERMS UPON WHAT IS EQUITABLE BETWEEN THE PARTIES. HERE IT CONCLUDED HER MARRIAGE WITH ANTIOCHUS, WHO DIVORCED HIS WIFE (LAODICE) AND DISINHERITED HER SON (SELEUCUS CALLINICUS).

11:7 But out of a branch of her roots (SAME RELIGIOUS BELIEFS) shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north (IRAN), and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:

IN ANCIENT HISTORY, BERENICE'S BROTHER PTOLEMY III (EUERGETES),"ROOTS" REFERRING TO THEIR FATHER PTOLEMYY II (PHILADELPHUS).

IN HIS ESTATE= IN THE STEAD OF PHILADELPHUS, WHO ADVENGED THE MURDER OF BERENICE AND HER SON BY LAODICE. EURGETES HAD BEEN RESTORED.

IN RECENT HISTORY, IT WAS CHOMEINI WHO WENT AGAINST THE SHAW.

11:8 And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years(FOUR YEARS, REIGNING 46 YEARS IN ALL) than the king of the north (THE SHAW).

THE SHAW OF IRAN WENT TO EGYPT WITH MUCH TREASURES AFTER HE WAS EXPELLED. HE DIED SOON AFTER THIS WITH CANCER. THAT'S WHY THE KING OF THE SOUTH CONTINUED MORE YEARS.

NOTE: EGYPT HAD MORE TROOPS ALIGN WITH IRAQ THAN ANY OTHER NATION, FIGHTNING AGAINST CHOMEINI.

IN ANCIENT HISTORY, THE PRECIOUS VESSELS, THE VESSELS OF DESIRE, SAID TO HAVE BEEN VALUED AT 40,000 TALENTS OF SILVER; AND 2,400 IMAGES, INCLUDING EGYPTIAN IDOLS, WHICH CAMBYSES HAD TAKEN FROM EGYPT. HENCE HE WAS NAMED BY THE GRATEFUL EGYPTIAN "EUERGETES" (BENEFACTOR).

11:9 So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.

11:10 But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress.

IN ANCIENT HISTORY, SELEUCUS II (CALLINICUS) AND HIS BROTHER ANTIOCHUS III. ANTIOCHUS III, THE SECOND KING OF THE NORTH, HIS BROTHER HAVING DIED BY A FALL FROM HIS HORSE.

ONE SHALL COME AGAINST HIM AND DEFEAT ANTIOCHUS III.

IN RECENT HISTORY, SADAT CALLED HIS MILITARY HIS SONS. HE DIED AT THE HANDS OF HIS SO-CALLED SONS.

11:11 And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand.

THEY DID NOT SUCCEED.

IN ANCIENT HISTORY, ANTIOCHUS III (KING OF THE NORTH), DELIVERED INTO PTOLEMY'S HAND (PTOLEMY III, THE KING OF THE SOUTH).

IN RECENT HISTORY, IT WAS THE 8 YEAR WAR (IRAN-IRAQ).

11:12 And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it.

IN ANCIENT HISTORY, THIS OCCURRED AT RAPHIA, SOUTHWEST OF GAZA.

IN RECENT HISTORY, THIS OCCURRED DURING THE IRAN-IRAQ 8 YEAR WAR.

11:13 For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.

IN ANCIENT HISTORY, THIS WAS 14 YEARS AFTER HIS DEFEAT AT RAPHIA.

IN RECENT HISTORY, CHOMEINI WENT IN THE SOUTH PART OF IRAQ AND PUT EVERYTHING THAT HE HAD INTO THE FORTFRONT, IN THE BORDER OF KUWAIT.

THEY WERE ONLY TYPES SO WE KNOW THE CHRONOLOGICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION. WHY? BECAUSE THIS WILL BE THE AREA THAT WE NEED TO WATCH FOR SIGNS OF THE END.

11:14 And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy People shalt exalt themselves to establish the vision (TO HELP TO FULFIL PROPHECY, BY TAKING THE SIDE OF SYRIA, SO AS TO MAKE JUDEA INDEPENDENT); but they shall fall (THE KENITES).

IN ANCIENT HISTORY, THE KING OF THE SOUTH IS PTOLEMY V (EPIPHANES), A MERE CHILD.

THE ROBBERS= THE APOSTATE JEWS=KENITES (SATAN'S OFFSPRING).

IN RECENT HISTORY, SADAT, KING OF THE SOUTH.

11:15 So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.

IN ANCIENT HISTORY, IT'S ANTIOCHUS III (THE GREAT); AND VERSES 16-19 DESCRIBES HIS DOINGS, WHICH WERE A TYPICAL FORESHADOWING OF HIS ANITYPE, "THE LITTLE HORN", THE YET FUTURE ANTICHRIST, DESCRIBED IN 11:21-12:1; WHICH SHOW HOW THE LATTER PORTION CAN BE FULFILLED BY SATAN AS THE ANTICHRIST.

11:16 But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.

IN ANCIENT HISTORY, IT WAS PTOLEMY V.

WATCH THE PERSIAN GULF.

IN RECENT HISTORY IS CHOMEINI.

IN THE NEAR FUTURE, IT'S SATAN PLAYING THE ROLE OF ANTICHRIST (INSTEAST OF CHRIST IN THE GREEK).

11:17 He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him his daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.

IN ANCIENT HISTORY, CLEOPATRA (THE DAUGHTER OF PTOLEMY V) WAS FULL OF BEAUTY, AND THE WOMEN BEING HER MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER, WERE CARING FOR HER EDUCATION. SHE STOOD WITH HER HUSBAND AND DEFEATED HER FATHER'S PLANS.

IN RECENT HISTORY, CHOMEINI ENFORCED THE RELIGION OF ISLAM ON HIS PEOPLE.

11:18 After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf (FOR HIS OWN INTEREST) shall cause the reproach offered by him (ANTIOCHUS III) to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him.

IN ANCIENT HISTORY, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE ROMAN GENERAL SCIPIO.

IN RECENT HISTORY, CHOMEINI WAS A VERY SICK MAN. HIS HEALTH WAS FAILING.

11:19 Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.

IN ANCIENT HISTORY, ANTIOCHUS III, AFTER HIS DEFEAT BY SCIPIO AT MANGNESIA (NEAR SMYRNA, TURKEY), WITHDREW TO SYRIA.

IN RECENT HISTORY, CHOMEINI DIED.

11:20 Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes (SADAM OF IRAQ) in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.

IN ANCIENT HISTORY, IT WAS SELEUCUS CAUSING THE EXACTOR (HELIODORUS) TO PASS THROUGH JUDEA, THE GLORIOUS LAND. HE SENT HELIODORUS TO JERUSALEM TO PLUNDER THE TEMPLE.

IN RECENT HISTORY, IT WAS SADAM OF IRAQ.

HERE ENDS THE HISTORICAL PART PORTION, WHICH HAVE BEEN FULFILLED FOR US BUT WAS NOT FOR DANIEL. THE FOLLOWING VERSES IS STILL FUTURE.

GOD USES HISTORY TO LET US KNOW WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS.

PTOLEMY, ANTIOCHUS, SADAT, THE SHAW OF IRAN, SADAM, WERE ONLY TYPES.

GOD BLESS

THE BOOK OF DANIEL (CHAPTER TEN)

IN THIS CHAPTER, DANIEL CONTINUES WITH THE VISION HE HAD.

HE UNDERSTOOD THE FIRST PART BUT HE HAD HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING THE SECOND PART.

Daniel 10:1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long (A LONG WARFARE): and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.

THIS IS TWO YEARS LATER THAN CHAPTER NINE. THIS IS DANIEL'S LATEST DATE; WHICH CONTINUES TO THE END OF THIS BOOK, SEVENTY-THREE YEARS SINCE HIS DEPORTATION: HE BEING NOW EIGHTY-NINE YEARS OLD.

THIS CYRUS WILL GIVE THE ORDER TO REBUILT THE WALLS OF JERUSALEM.

10:2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.

10:3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.

10:4 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month (PASSOVER TIME), as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel (THE TIGRIS RIVER);

THE 8 YEAR IRAN-IRAQ WAR WAS IN THAT AREA OF TIGRIS AND ALSO THE DESSERT STORM WAR.

10:5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:

10:6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in color to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a strong multitude (A STRONG VOICE).

THIS IS AN ANGEL AND GOD WILL SPEAK THROUGH THIS ANGEL.

10:7 And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.

THIS VISION WAS ONLY MEANT FOR DANIEL TO SEE.

10:8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.

THE HEBREW TEXTS SAY, 'MY HEALTHY APPEARANCE WENT AWAY, AND I LOOKED MORE LIKE A FIGURE OF DEATH THAN LIFE.'

10:9 Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.

DANIEL PASSED OUT. HE COULDN'T BARE THE FACE OF GOD.

10:10 And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.

THE ANGEL HELPED HIM TO STAND UP AND A LITTLE STRENGTH CAME BACK TO HIM.

10:11 And he said unto me, 'O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright (STAND UP WHERE YOU ARE); for unto thee am I now sent.' And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.

10:12 Then said he unto me, 'Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten (HUMBLE) thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.

10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days (WAS STANDING CONFRONTING ME): but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained (I LEFT HIM THERE) there with the kings of Persia.

THE RULERS MAYBE GOOD, ANGELIC (GOOD OR EVIL).

THIS IS AN END TIME PROPHECY. HE IS PREPARING US MENTALLY FOR THE END TIME.

PRINCE OF PERSIA=CYRUS.

PRINCE OF THIS WORLD=SATAN.

MICHAEL (WHO IS LIKE GOD IN THE HEBREW) IS THE RESTRAINER. THE SECOND ANGEL NAMED IN THIS BOOK. THE SPECIAL ANGELIC RULER FOR ISRAEL.

10:14 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."

THIS IS FUTURE.

10:15 And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.

HE COULD NOT SPEAK.

MAKE A NOTE OF PSALMS 139:2, 9.

10:16 And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, 'O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.

HE IS BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND THIS VISION A LITTLE BIT.

HE DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE FIRST ONE.

10:17 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.'

HOW CAN I SPEAK TO YOU, A SUPERNATURAL BEING ?

10:18 Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me (STRENGTH FOR ENDURANCE IN THE HEBREW),

10:19 And said, 'Oman greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong.' And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, 'Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.'

10:20 Then said he, 'Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee (HE DIDN'T)? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia (SATAN IS THE PRINCE OF PERSIA IN THE FUTURE. MICHAEL IS THE ONE WHO KICKS HIM AND HIS ANGELS OUT OF HEAVEN IN THE NEAR FUTURE; REV. 12:7-9): and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia (ALEXANDER) shall come.

10:21 But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.

WARNING: BEWARE OF THE ONES WHO SAY GOD SPEAKS TO ME. IF GOD SPEAKS TO SOMEONE HE OR SHE WOULDN'T BE STANDING. DANIEL PASSED OUT MORE THAN ONCE, HIS STRENGTH WAS GONE, BECAUSE HE COULDN'T HANDLE THE SUPERNATURAL.

GOD BLESS

THE BOOK OF DANIEL (CHAPTER NINE---PART TWO).

DANIEL IN THE HEBREW TONGUE MEANS "GOD IS MY JUDGE", WHICH ACCORDS WITH THE CHARACTER AND CONTENTS OF THE BOOK. HE WAS OF THE SEED-ROYAL OF JUDAH, AND HE IS MENTIONED THREE TIMES BY EZEKIEL, AND ONCE BY OUR LORD.

MOST PROPHETS PROPHESIED WHEN THEY WERE OUT OF THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY, BUT DANIEL'S ENTIRE PROPHECY WAS GIVEN WHILE IN CAPTIVITY.

THE KING OF BABYLON WHICH IS A TYPE THAT SETS FORTH OF WHAT SHALL HAPPEN UNDER THE REIGN OF THE NEW KING OF BABYLON (SATAN) IN THE END GENERATION.

THE FIRST PART OF THE BOOK IS HISTORIC, WHILE THE LATTER HALF IS PROPHETIC.

THE FIRST PART OF THE BOOK WAS WRITTEN IN ARAMAIC (THE LANGUAGE OF THE CAPTIVITY), WHILE THE LATTER IS WRITTEN IN HEBREW.

CONTINUING HERE WITH DANIEL'S PRAYER TO THE LORD. IN THE LATTER VERSES OF THIS CHAPTER THE SUBJECT CHANGES AND IT'S ALL PROPHECY OF THE END TIMES.

Daniel 9:15 And now, O LORD our God, That hast brought Thy People forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten Thee renown (FAMOUS NATURALLY), as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.

PEOPLE STILL DO TODAY, WORSE THAN THE TIMES IN THE PAST.

9:16 O LORD, according to all Thy righteousness, I beseech Thee, let Thine anger and Thy fury be turned away from Thy city Jerusalem, Thy holy mountain: because of our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Thy People are become a reproach to all that are about us (THOSE THEY TRY TO DO WELL).

THE ANTICHRIST (INSTEAD OF CHRIST IN THE GREEK=SATAN) IS COMING TO SET HIS KINGDOM IN THE TEMPLE MOUNT IN JERUSALEM.

GOD WILL PROTECT HIS OWN. HE WILL DESTROY THAT AREA UPON HIS RETURN BUT WE WILL BE OKAY. HIS ANGER IS TOWARD HIS ENEMIES, NOT US.

9:17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of Thy servant, and his supplications, and cause Thy face to shine upon Thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the LORD's sake.

DO IT AGAIN FOR YOUR SERVANT'S SAKE.

9:18 O my God, incline Thine ear, and hear; open Thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by Thy name: for we do not present our supplications before Thee for our righteousness, but for Thy great mercies.

IN OTHER WORDS, WE DON'T DESERVE OF YOUR GREAT MERCIES, BUT BECAUSE OF THAT MERCY LET FORGIVENESS COME TO PASS.

9:19 O LORD, hear (LISTEN); O LORD, forgive; O LORD, hearken and do (LISTEN TO US NOW); defer not, for Thine own sake, O my God: for Thy city and Thy People are called by Thy name.'

9:20 And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of My People Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;

YOU ALWAYS REPENT WHEN YOU FALL SHORT AND PRESENT YOUR CASE TO THE LORD.

9:21 Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I have seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation (GIFT OR DONATION OFFERING).

THIS PROPHECY IS NOT GIVEN BY A "PROPHET", BUT BY AN ANGEL TO A PROPHET. IT IS THEREFORE A MOST TRANSCENDENT PROPHECY.

9:22 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, 'O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.

TO TEACH THE UNDERSTANDING, OR TO MAKE YOU WISE TO UNDERSTAND.

IT IS NOT A VISION THAT REQUIRES INTERPRETATION, BUT A DIRECT PROPHECY GIVEN IN SIMPLE WORDS BY THE ANGEL CABRIEL, SENT BY GOD FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF MAKING EVERYTHING CLEAR, AND SOLVING THE MOST WEIGHTY PROBLEMS THAT PERPLEX THE HUMAN MIND. THERE IS NO "DIFFICULTY", AS SUPPOSED. ALL THAT IS REQUIRED OF US IS TO UNDERSTAND, AND CONSIDER, AND BELIEVE WHAT IS THUS WRITTEN FOR OUR LEARNING.

9:23 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision (THINK BACK ON THAT VISION).

9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon Thy People and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring an everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy (A HOLY OF HOLLIES. NEVER USED OF A PERSON. THIS ANSWERS TO THE CLEANSING OF THE SANCTUARY (8:14) WHICH IMMEDIATELY PRECEDES "THE END").

THIS IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE MILLENNIUM (CHRIST'S THOUSAND YEAR REIGN), AND PERHAPS EVEN PAST THAT.

SEVENTY WEEKS= 7X70=490 YEARS DETERMINED. NOT ON ANY "YEAR-DAY" THEORY. IF "DAYS" HAD BEEN INTENDED, IT WOULD BE SO EXPRESSED, AS IN 10:3. MOREOVER, "YEARS" HAD BEEN THE SUBJECT OF DANIEL'S PRAYER (VERSE 2). THE LAST "SEVEN" IS "ONE", AND IT IS DIVIDED IN HALF IN VERSE 27, AND THE HALF IS THREE AND A HALF YEARS (7:25, 8:11-14, 11:33). IN REV. 11:2 THIS HALF IS EXPRESSED BY "FORTY-TWO MONTHS"; AND IN THE NEXT VERSE AS "1260 DAYS". THE WHOLE PERIOD IS THEREFORE 490 YEARS.

DETERMINED= CUT OFF. DIVIDED OFF FROM ALL OTHER YEARS.

9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks (62 WEEKS): the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

IT WOUD BE EZRA AND NEHEMIAH DURING THE REIGN OF CYRUS. THIS WOULD BEGIN ON CHAPTER TEN.

NOT IN REGARDS OF THE TEMPLE (AS IN EZRA), BUT THE CITY (AS IN NEHEMIAH), WHICH WAS THE SUBJECT OF DANIEL'S PRAYER, AND THEREFORE THE ANSWER TO IT.

SEVEN WEEKS IS 49 YEARS. THE YEAR THE ORDER WAS GIVEN WAS 454 B.C. WHEN YOU TAKE 49 YEARS AWAY FROM THAT YOU HAVE THE YEAR 405 B.C.

THREESCORE AND TWO WEEKS= 434 YEARS (405 B.C.=29 A.D.). CHRIST WAS BORN IN BETHLEHEM 434 YEARS LATER. NOW WE TAKE AWAY 434 YEARS. IT BRINGS US TO 29 A.D. CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED AROUND 29 A.D.

9:26 And after threescore and two weeks (62 WEEKS) shall Messiah be cut off (CRUCIFIED), but not for Himself: and the people (THE KENITES=SATAN'S OFFSPRING) of the prince (SATAN, LITTLE HORN) that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood (A FLOOD OF LIES AND DECEPTION= REV. 12:7), and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

THERE ARE TWO PARTS TO THIS.

1ST PART=CHRIST'S CRUCIFIXION.

2ND PART=THE END.

WE HAVE COVERED 69 WEEKS, BUT WE HAVE NOT COVERED THE 70TH WEEK.

IT WASN'T MENTIONED FOR A VERY SPECIAL REASON. THERE IS A GAP THERE. IT'S THE SAME WHEN CHRIST APPEARED ON THE FIRST ADVENT AND READ FROM THE BOOK OF ISAIAH BUT HE DIDN'T FINISH THE VERSE. HE CLOSED THE BOOK.

WHY? BECAUSE IT WAS NOT MEANT FOR THEIR TIME. IT IS MEANT FOR OURS. THEREFORE, WE CAN UNDERSTAND THE VISION BUT DANIEL COULD NOT.

9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week (THIS IS THE 70TH WEEK): and in the midst of the week (3 1/2 YEARS) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation (CHRIST IS OUR SACRIFICE=HOLY COMMUNION, PASSOVER) to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate (DESOLATOR IN THE HEBREW).'

THE HEBREW STATES,

AND ON WINGS AS A DESOLATOR (THIS IS AN ENTITY=SATAN), ABOMINATIONS EVEN TO THE CONSUMMATION, AND THAT DETERMINED SHALL BE POURED UPON THE DESOLATOR.

THIS IS CERTAINLY FUTURE. SEE MATTHEW 24:15. OUR LORD TELLS US WHERE IT WILL STAND "IN THE HOLY PLACE", IN THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM. ANTIOCHUS, THE TYPE OF THE "LITTLE HORN", DEFILED THE SANCTUARY, BUT HE DID NOT DESTROY IT. HE CANNOT THEREFORE BE THE FULFILLER OF THIS PROPHECY, THOUGH HE FORSHADOWED HIM.

THE LITTLE HORN IS SATAN HIMSELF PLAYING THE ROLE OF "ANTICHRIST" (INSTEAD OF CHRIST IN THE GREEK), DECEIVING THE WHOLE WORLD AND THE CHURCH (EXCEPT THE ELECT).

NOTE: CHRIST CHANGED THE TIME (NOT THE PLACE) FROM 3 1/2 YEARS TO 5 MONTHS FOR THE ELECT'S SAKE (MARK 13:20, REV. 9:10-11).

WHY? BECAUSE SATAN IS SUPERNATURAL AND VERY GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES. HE COULD HAVE DECEIVED EVEN THE ELECT IF HE WAS HERE 3 1/2 YEARS.

GOD BLESS

THE BOOK OF DANIEL (CHAPTER NINE---PART ONE).

THE DESOLATIONS OF JERUSALEM

DANIEL'S HUMILIATION

Daniel is 87 years old, in the first year of king Darius in 426 B.C. He continues to prophecy about the events that will happen before the end of this present dispensation.

Daniel 9:1 In the first year of Darius (DARIUS IS A TITLE AND IT MEANS THE MAINTAINER OR RESTRAINER) the son of Ahasuerus (AHASUERUS, AN APPELATIVE=THE VENERABLE KING ASTYAGES), of the seed of the Medes, which was made king (CYRUS) over the realm of the Chaldeans;

9:2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem (FROM 479-409 B.C.).

DANIEL NOW UNDERSTOOD THE WRITINGS OF JEREMIAH OF THE 70 YEAR BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY.

THE "DESOLATIONS" HAD THEREFORE LASTED 42 YEARS (6X7), AND HAD YET 28(4X7 YEARS) TO RUN BEFORE THEY WERE "ACCOMPLISHED".

THIS IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE TO SHOW US THE EVENTS THAT WILL HAPPEN IN OUR GENERATION BY THE NEW KING OF BABYLON (SATAN).

MAKE A NOTE OF MARK 13.

9:3 And I set my face unto the LORD God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:

SO HE CAN UNDERSTAND IT BETTER.

9:4 And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, 'O LORD, the great and dreadful GOD, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love Him, and to them that keep His commandments;

9:5 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from Thy precepts and from Thy judgments.

VERY FEW TODAY TEACH PRECEPT BY PRECEPT THE WORD OF GOD.

9:6 Neither have we hearkened unto Thy servants the prophets, which spake in Thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the People of the land.

IN OTHER WORDS, YOU LEFT NO ONE OUT.

9:7 O LORD, righteousness belongeth unto Thee, but unto us confusion of faces (THE TRIBES DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE), as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem (MOST OF THE INHABITANTS WERE KENITES=SATAN'S OFFSPRING), and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries (THEY ARE SCATTERED ALL OVER THE WORLD) whither Thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have transgressed against Thee (THEY DESERVE NOT TO KNOW WHO THEY ARE).

9:8 O LORD, to us belongeth confusion of face, (WE DESERVE TO BE CONFUSED), to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against Thee.

9:9 To the LORD our God belong mercies and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against Him;

9:10 Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in His laws, which He set before us by his servants the prophets.

LOOK AROUND YOU TODAY. HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU SEE OBEYING GOD ? NOT MANY.

9:11 Yea, all Israel have transgressed Thy law (THEY WILL DO ANYTHING NOT TO DO IT), even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against Him.

9:12 And He hath confirmed His words, which He spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.

THE GREAT NEW EVIL THAT IS COMING TO JERUSALEM TO PLAY THE ROLE OF CHRIST IS SATAN. HE WILL DECEIVE THE WORLD AND THE CHURCH (EXCEPT THE ELECT). THEY FORSOOK THE LORD THEN AND THEY FOSAKE THE LORD NOW.

9:13 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand Thy truth.

THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN. PEOPLE CONTINUE TO TRANSGRESS AGAINST GOD, AND THE TIME OF CHOSING WHO YOU ARE GOING TO FOLLOW, GOD OR SATAN IS VERY LIMITED. THE BAD ONE IS COMING AND MOST WILL JUMP INTO HIS BED SPIRITUALLY.

9:14 Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all His works which He doeth: for we obeyed not His voice.

HE WILL BRING SATAN BECAUSE WE DIDN'T OBEYED HIS VOICE.

GOD BLESS

THE BOOK OF DANIEL (CHAPTER EIGHT---PART TWO)

CONTINUING WITH THE FORMATION OF THE ONE WORLD SYSTEM, SATAN BEING IN CHARGE OF THE WHOLE WORLD, AND THE END OF THIS EARTH AGE (FUTURE).

Daniel 8:11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the Prince (CHRIST) of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice (HOLY COMMUNION) was taken away, and the place of His sanctuary (JERUSALEM= EZEKIEL 16) was cast down.

LITTLE HORN (SATAN) MAGNIFIED HIMSELF BY PLAYING THE ROLE OF CHRIST, TAKING HOLY COMMUNION AWAY AND REPLACING IT WITH HIM. IT'S THE GREAT APOSTASI OF THE CHURCH (II THESS. 2:3), MEANING, THE CHURCH CHANGING FROM WORSHIPPING THE TRUE CHRIST, TO WORSHIPPING THE FALSE ONE THINKING HE IS CHRIST. THEY TAKE HOLY COMMUNION TO HONOR HIM INSTEAD OF THE TRUE CHRIST.

THIS BELONG TO THE TIME OF THE END, AND WAS NOT FULFILLED OF ANTIOCHUS AS SOME BELIEVE. HIS CAREER WAS A FORESHADOWING OF IT, TO SHOW THAT THE FULFILMENT WILL YET BE EXHAUSTED BY HIM WHO IS "THE LITTLE HORN" (SATAN).

8:12 And an host (LIKE AN ARMY) was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practiced, and prospered.

AN ARMY OF SINNERS THAT CAN BE EASILY DECEIVED WENT AGAINST THE DAILY SACRIFICE. THE TRUTH OF GOD WAS GONE.

IN OTHER WORDS, DECEPTION HAS TAKEN OVER AND THE CHURCH HAS ACCEPTED IT.

8:13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, 'How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice ( HOLY COMMUNION, CHRIST'S CRUCIFIXION), and the transgression of desolation (THE SETTING UP OF THE DESOLATING OR ASTOUNDING REBELLION), to give both the sanctuary and the host (THE TECHNICAL TERM FOR THE MINISTERS OF THE SANCTUARY) to be trodden under foot?

8:14 And he said unto me, 'Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.'

HE WON'T CLEANSE IT AGAIN UNTIL HIS RETURN.

MAKE A NOTE OF JOSHUA 23:13.

8:15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.

HERE IT IS GABRIEL (GOD'S MAN IN THE HEBREW). GABRIEL IS THE ANGEL WHO SOUNDS MANY ALARMS.

8:16 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai (PURE WATER), which called, and said, 'Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.'

THE FIRST OF TWO ANGELS WHO ARE NAMED IN SCRIPTURE. THE SECOND ONE IS MICHAEL.

8:17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face (HE PASSED OUT): but he said unto me, 'Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision (END OF THIS EARTH AGE).'

GABRIEL IS SAYING HERE THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AT THE END OF THIS AGE, NOT AT THE TIME OF ANTIOCHUS.

8:18 Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground (HE PASSED OUT. HE COULD HANDLE SEEING GABRIEL. WHY ? BECAUSE HE IS SUPERNATURAL): but he touched me, and set me upright.

8:19 And he said, 'Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation (WRATH OF GOD): for at the time appointed the end shall be.

ANOTHER INDICATION OF THE TIME OF THE FULFILMENT OF THE VISION AT THE TIME APPOINTED.

8:20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media (MIDDLE LAND) and Persia (PURE).

HERE IN VERSE 20 WE HAVE THE BEGINNING OF THE INTERPRETATION; WHICH COMMENCES WITH PAST HISTORY WITH WHICH THE PROPHECY (WHICH BELONGS TO THE FUTURE) IS LINKED ON. THIS IS TO CONNECT ANTICIPATORY AND PARTIAL, OR FORESHADOWING, FULFILMENT, WHICH SHOWS HOW THE "LITTLE HORN" WILL ACT, IN A SIMILAR WAY AS AN INDIVIDUAL, AND NOT AS A SERIES OF KINGS OR POPES.

8:21 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia (ALEXANDER THE GREAT): and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

8:22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it (IN THE PLACE THEREOF), four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power (SATANIC POWER).

THESE ARE SAID TO HAVE BEEN: 1. PTOLEMY'S (EGYP, PALESTINE, AND SOME PARTS OF ASIA MINOR), 2. CASSANDERS'S (MACEDONIA, AND GREECE), 3. LYSIMACHUS'S (BITHYNIA,THRACE, MYSIA), 4. SELEUCUS'S (SYRIA, ARMENIA, AND TERRITORY EAST OF THE EUPHRATES). BUT THE CONTINUITY OF ALEXANDER'S DOMINION CEASED WITH HIM, AND WILL NOT BE SEEN AGAIN TILL "THE LITTLE HORN" ARISES.

THIS IS ALL FUTURE.

8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full (OR, HAVE FILLED UP THEIR MEASURE. THEREFORE NOT FULL YET. THE ONE WORLD SYSTEM), a king of fierce countenance (A KING OF MIGHTY PRESENCE. ONE OF THE TITLES OF THE ANTICHRIST), and understanding dark sentences (SKILLED IN DISSIMULATION), shall stand up.

IT'S SATAN PLAYING THE ROLE OF CHRIST (ANTICHRIST=INSTEAD OF CHRIST IN THE GREEK).

8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not of his own power PEOPLE MAKE SATAN POWERFUL): and he shall destroy the mighty and the holy people (HE WILL DESTROY THE MIGHTY AND THE CHURCH, BY DECEPTION).

8:25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft (DECEIT) to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify (PRIDE) himself in his heart, and by peace (NOT WAR) shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes (THE MESSIAH); but he shall be broken without hand (CAST DOWN TO THE PIT).

MAKE A NOTE OF 2 THESS. 2:8.

8:26 And the vision of the evening and the morning (THE 2,300 DAYS) which was told is true (YOU CAN COUNT ON IT. IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN): wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.'

8:27 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.

IT WASN'T MEANT FOR DANIEL TO UNDERSTAND BECAUSE IT WAS NOT MEANT FOR HIS TIME.

GOD BLESS

THE BOOK OF DANIEL (CHAPTER EIGHT---PART ONE)

THE VISION OF THE TWO BEASTS.

CHAPTER SEVEN ENDS THE PORTION OF THE BOOK WRITTEN IN CHALDEE. NOW WE ARE GOING BACK TO THE HEBREW.

IN THIS CHAPTER (# 8 IS A NEW BEGINNING IN BIBLICAL NUMERICS), WE WILL SEE WHAT THE CHILDREN WILL BE DOING WHEN THEY COME OUT OF CAPTIVITY FROM THE KING OF BABYLON. HE WAS ONLY A TYPE, SHOWING US WHAT SHALL HAPPEN UNDER THE REIGN OF THE NEW KING OF BABYLON IN THE END GENERATION.

THE FUTURE KING OF BABYLON IS SATAN.

Daniel 8:1 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar (PRINCE OF BAAL) a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.

THERE IS A TWO YEAR DELAY BETWEEN 7TH AND 8TH CHAPTER. AT THE END OF THE BABYLONIAN EMPIRE, FOR BELSHAZZAR REIGNED LITTLE MORE THAN TWO YEARS.

THIS IS TWO YEARS LATER, AFTER THE DREAM OF THE 4 BEASTS OF CHAPTER 7.

DANIEL IS 87 YEARS OLD HERE.

LIKE THE VISION IN CHAPTER 7, THIS ALSO IS COMPLETE IN ITSELF, BUT IS NECESSARY TO CONTRIBUTE ITS PROOF OF THE UNITY OF THE BOOK AS A WHOLE. THIS VISION (AND THE REST OF THE BOOK FROM HERE) IS WRITTEN IN HEBREW; BECAUSE ITS PURPOSE IS TO SHOW HOW GENTILE DOMINION (OF CHAPTER 2) SPECIALLY CONCERNS AND AFFECTS ISRAEL.

8:2 And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan (THE CHIEF CITY OF ALL PERSIA. IT MEANS LILLY) in the palace, which is in the province of Elam (ETERNITY); and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai ( PURE WATER. THE EULAEUS CANAL NEAR SUSA. NOW KARUN RIVER).

8:3 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram (SYMBOLIC OF A LEADER IN ISRAEL=FUTURE. NOT THE TODAY'S COUNTRY OF ISRAEL, BUT THE TRUE ISRAEL=CHRISTIAN KINGDOM) which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last (LESS POWERFUL).

IN HISTORY, THE RAM WAS PERSIA, AND THE TWO HORNS WERE THE KINGS OF MEDIA AND PERSIA. CYRUS WAS HIGHER MEANING, HE BECAME GREATER THAN HIS FATHER ASTYAGES. BOTH WERE IN EXISTENCE WHEN DANIEL SAW THE VISION (VERSE 20).

IN THE FUTURE, THE RAM IS A LEADER FORM ISRAEL, THE CHRISTIAN NATIONS OF GREAT BRITAIN, CANADA, UNITED STATES.

8:4 I saw the ram pushing westward (TO THE WEST), and northward (TO THE NORTH), and southward (TO THE SOUTH); so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great (ACTED PROUDLY).

8:5 And as I was considering, behold, an he goat (SYMBOLIC OF EVIL) came out of the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.

THE HE-GOAT WAS THE ACKNOWLEDGED SYMBOL OF GREECE, AS THE RAM WAS OF PERSIA.

IN THE FUTURE, THIS IS THE FORMATION OF THE ONE WORLD SYSTEM.

8:6 And he came to the ram that had two horns (HORNS ARE SYMBOLIC OF POWER), which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.

IN HISTORY, IT SYMBOLIZES THE RAPIDITY OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT 'S REQUESTS, WHICH, IN THE SHORT SPACE OF 13 YEARS, SUBDUED THE WORLD.

8:7 And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved (MOVED HIMSELF, OR STROVE VIOLENTLY WITH) with choler (BILE) against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand (NO DELIVERER THAT COULD DELIVER HIM OUT OF HIS POWER).

8:8 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven (ONLY GOD CAN CAUSE THE 4 WINDS TO BLOW ON EARTH. THEY BLOW FROM ALL 4 DIRECTIONS AT ONE TIME AND AT ONE POINT. GOD HAD STEPPED IN WHEN YOU HEAR OF THE 4 WINDS).

IN HISTORY, IT WAS THE GREAT EXTENT OF ALEXANDER'S CONQUESTS, AS "RAN" (VERSE 6) REFERS TO THE RAPIDITY OF THEM.

IN THE FUTURE SATAN IS FORMULATING HIS SYSTEM TOWARD THE ONE WORLD ORDER.

8:9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn (SATAN), which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land (JERUSALEM).

HE CAME IN ALL DIRECTIONS.

8:10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven (STARS= ANGELS); and it cast down some of the host and of the stars (ANGELS) to the ground, and stamped upon them (TRAMPLED FROM UNDER FOOT).

THEM= THE PEOPLE SYMBOLIZED BY THEM.

DO NOT MISS PART TWO.

GOD BLESS
