"LONDON (AP) — A preliminary report Friday blamed a millisecond-software defect for the cancellation of over 2,000 flights in and out of the United Kingdom last week.
(And there was never one before.
Not a "millisecond-software defect"
there wasnt.)
"NATS, formerly known as National Air Traffic Services, said Friday that the glitch on Sept. 8 was behind the mayhem at British airports and beyond, rather than any human failings — as many had speculated at the time."
"It said a software defect
(Which only surfaced now?
Plz...)
in the National Airspace System, which allocates codes so air traffic controllers can identify flights on radar, was behind the decision to ax the flights. The move impacted hundreds of thousands of travelers.
“This happened in the space of a millisecond,” the report said.
"The International Meteor Organization, the nonprofit that coordinates and publishes amateur and professional observations of meteor phenomena, said its infrastructure has suffered a “critical blow” from a cyberattack.
“We recently suffered a cyberattack that dealt a critical blow to aging infrastructure, taking much of our site offline,” a static page on its website on Wednesday said. “We expect several weeks of partial downtime as we transition to new infrastructure and services.”
"In the meantime, the IMO said it’s prioritizing the reporting of fireball observations, which can be reported here. The organization is also providing some information on its Facebook page.
(Well why?
Its all due to the increase in
Ring Doorbell cameras im sure.
)
"Its databases of reported meteor and fireball observations—made up of text, photos, and videos—are also considered essential by many in the field."
(Thats why they took it down yo.)
"It’s unclear why an organization that tracks large, fiery space objects hurtling toward Earth would be the target of a damaging cyberattack.
Well?
"considered essential by many in the field."
Would be a pretty good start.
And me and honey
been talking about this
for a while now.
The possibility
of a 3I/Atlas fragment
hitting earth right when a
nuclear war broke out
and nobody would know the difference.
We aere talking about that
summer/fall of 25 onward.
Seeing all these fireballs like we been seeing
JUST AINT NORMAL.
Somethin is up and now:
"databases of reported meteor
and fireball observations—made up of text,
photos, and videos—are also considered
essential by many in the field"
is off line?
"It’s equally unclear why someone would want to steal its data
(assuming that was the motive), which is mostly public."
(They don't want you to know
what's coming
seems much more plausible.)
"Attacks on organizations connected to space travel, observation, and research are rare, at least when compared to those targeting other industries."
(There's your clue:
They don't want you to know
what's coming
seems much more plausible)
"US agencies warned in 2023 that private- and public-sector space organizations may be targets of nation-state-sponsored hackers. The Russian government has also said that commercial satellites may be legitimate military targets. In 2023, Russia was reportedly tracking communications satellites used by NATO.
The American Meteorological Society was hit by a ransomware attack in 2023. Unlike that case, there are no known reports of groups or individuals claiming responsibility for the IMO attack or seeking a ransom."
"OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft and more than 100 other companies warned Thursday that the organizations now only have months to prepare for AI-enabled cyberattacks."
"Signatories include a range of cloud providers, cybersecurity companies, AI companies, telecoms and financial services companies and think tanks."
"Echoing recent social media posts, Trump likened recent calls to slow its development, on the grounds that its rapid development poses an existential threat to humankind, as a “globalist scheme” hatched by the same forces he blamed for warnings of climate change, a premise he has long erroneously labelled a “hoax”."
(As stated before:
You can not slow down a self-improving,
self replicating digital superintelligence.)
"Part of the answer, he said, was to change its name.Henceforth it would cease to be called “artificial” (“it makes it sound fake – and it’s not fake”) and would be called “super intelligence” in all US government documents.
“Welcome to the new world of super intelligence,” he said. “Let’s see if that goes. It’s much more accurate.
Let’s see if I have any power. Maybe I do,
maybe I don’t.”
Oh he most certainly does alright:
Revelation 13:2
(The false prophet)
"...and the dragon gave him his power,
and his seat, and great authority."
If your version of Christianity
doesn't include this:
Revelation 12:11
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Romans 12:1
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
Matthew Henry commentary
on Joel 2:28-29
"The effect of this blessing:
They shall prophesy;
they shall receive
new discoveries of divine things,
and that not for their own use only,
but for the benefit of the church.
They shall interpret scripture,
and speak of things secret,
distant, and future,
which by the utmost sagacities of reason,
and their natural powers,
they could not have any insight into nor foresight of."
"It is essential that we stand back from our presumptions and prejudices and listen carefully to what the Biblical text is telling us.We are living in exciting times, but we need to be diligent in our study of God’s Word. The only certain barrier to truth is the presumption that we already have it."
Then Jesus began to teach them, and He declared, “ Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’?
Also
before we even get started
lets not forget:
Mathew 21:33-43
33 Hear another parable:
There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves,
This is the heir; come,
let us kill him,
and let us seize on his inheritance.
39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
40 Whenthe lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
41 They say unto him,
He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
and Mathew 21:43
43 Therefore say I unto you,
The kingdom of God
shall be taken from you,
and given to a nation
bringing forth the fruits thereof.
That above was addressed specifically to
the Chief priest and Elders of the people.
PLUS:
1 Peter 2:9
But ye are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood, an holy nation,
a peculiar people;
that ye should shew forth the praises of him
who hath called you out of darkness
into his marvelous light;
Also, let us not forget
the scribes and the Pharisees
Christ is addressing in the following passages
are the forerunners of most of modern day
Rabbinic Judaism:
Matthew 23:13-33
13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
22 And he that shall swear by heaven,
sweareth by the throne of God,
and by him that sitteth thereon.
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that
ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers,
how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
And those?
Were the forerunners
on modern day rabbinical Judaism.
And if you go all:
Romans 11:1-2
11 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying,
People say:
'Well God does not take back his gifts..."
Agreed, but
It is not a gift
if you dont accept it.
And legacy, heritage, family,
tribe, nation or any other association etc ?
Has got absolutely nothing
to do anything:
And the Jewish people MOSTLY rejected
the biggest gift from God ever.
The sacrifice of the Messiah
(Which renders a new temple pointless BTW.)
Matthew 3:9
And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him,
whose names are not written
in the book of life
of the Lamb slain
from the foundation of the world.
Revelation 17:8
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Revelation 21:27
And there shall in no wise enter into it
any thing that defileth,
neither whatsoever worketh abomination,
or maketh a lie:
but they which are written
in the Lamb's book of life.
Revelation 20:15
And whosoever was not found
written in the book of life
was cast into the lake of fire.
And not one of those verses is listed as cross-referenced
on Bible Hub.com or in my Mendenhall Reference Bible.
Nor will Dr. Missler bring them up.
"It is essential that we stand back from our presumptions and prejudices and listen carefully to what the Biblical text is telling us. We are living in exciting times, but we need to be diligent in our study of God’s Word. The only certain barrier to truth is the presumption that we already have it."

(They are mentioned on the study bible page of Biblehub.com
Yes, and I ask you, my true yokefellow, to help these women who have labored with me for the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.
"John explicitly connects that event with Zechariah’s prophecy.
Israel’s future recognition of Christ
will involve more than seeing historical facts;
the nation will acknowledge
that the rejected and crucified Jesus
is the promised King."
Once again.
Only when they see this:
"and they will look on Me,
the One they have pierced."
Matthew 24:30
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And by that time?
I just dont think
there are that many
left of anything.
Jew, or gentile.
Matthew 24:22
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
And plenty of
"since the foundations of the world"
type of phrases associated with
"The lambs Book of Life"
in the aforementioned verses.
Ezekiel 10:1-2,6
(Vision of Gods Throne)
Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubimsthere appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
2 And he spake unto the man clothed with linen,and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.
6 And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
Behold, I am sending an angel before you to protect you along the wayand to bring you to the place I have prepared. /Pay attention to him and listen to his voice; do not defy him, for he will not forgive rebellion,since My Name is in him
Revelation 3:10
Because you have kept My command to persevere, I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
Anyways lol...
Just wanted to get a few things straight
before venturing in.
I love Dr. Missler,
just not so much the
Dispensationalist outlook
that shines through just way
to brightly here.
The bible is written is such a way
that if you pull out just one thread that you don't like?
Or just don't wanna acknowledge
The entirety of it just unravels, proving
there's no way man could have pulled it off by himself
(1400 years, three continents, three languages 40 authors etc.)
It is the only thing in our world
from outside of this time-space continuum.
0:000 seconds
"we'll be finishing let's assume we get through verse one we'll be finishing Daniel
chapter 12 short little chapter and yet uh touches on many interesting topics
we've had quite a tour of the Book of Daniel the first six chapters of course
were very colorful readable fun Narrative of his colorful
career deported as a teenager and then treated
to these incredible experiences both from a spiritual point of view and
0:3535 seconds
also just in terms of of actually having not only survived
but been prominent dominant in two major world Empires one
0:4343 seconds
of the most unusual careers in history
as we look at Daniel of course one of the things that we need to keep in our minds and and and um when you get a chance to reread the book it's interesting just to reread the book not from a prophecy point of view that's what we mostly get so you can't help but get all caught up in that but
1:071 minute, 7 seconds
but to reread the book and just dwell on
the example that Daniel has given us
from the time he was a teenager where he
dared to be true to what God
had called him to and and and didn't yield in a sense
to the the world Empire that was um that he found himself
(RESONATES MORE THAN A LIL)
and God honored that all the way through uh through the grammatic visions that were given to Nebuchadnezzar his unusual relationship personally with that uh prominent leader even to the point that he cared for him when he was suffering his um medical problems the fiery furnace the all of that exciting times but always it's interesting to to uh the first six chapters of just the narrativebut then we got to the uh next major section of the book the last half of the book first six are narrative
of the fact that it's Jewish we need to recognize Daniel's
book is quite tightly organized
when you go through a book like Jeremiah
it's very confusing because it's all out of order one of the one of the things you
do when you study book of Jeremiah you need to build yourself a little chart to figure out which one comes where because it's not necessarily in chronological ordersome of the other books have the
Daniel however is pretty straightforward if you recognize there's six history and then six visions and the visions interweave the history but the thing you also need
to recognize the Book of Daniel let me just remind this
Gabriel gives Daniel this incredible vision of the Messiah but again if you recall we emphasized at the time the scope of the vision 9:24 70 7s are determined upon
thy people
6:106 minutes, 10 seconds
and the Holy City Jerusalem
it's important as we try
to understand what these prophecies are saying
6:176 minutes, 17 seconds
not to lose the Horizon
that they expressly paint namely Israel
(Body of true believers)
and of course in
6:276 minutes, 27 seconds um
chapter 11 we had this whole Chronicle of the successive Kings
and the Ptolemaic dynasties after Alexander dies
6:356 minutes, 35 seconds as
as the Empire breaks up in its four pieces
the Seleucid Empire and Syria
and what have you what we what they call
6:426 minutes, 42 seconds their
King of the North and the Ptolemaic dynasties to the South
Egypt and these two struggling back and forth back
"right yet he shall come to his end and None Shall
8:398 minutes, 39 seconds
help him remember the chapter breaks
are man's division so as you read your Bible
8:468 minutes, 46 seconds
don't make too much of the chapter divisions
very often a chapter benefits really by the verse that precede the last verse of the previous chapter and vice versa often a first verse like in chapter 11 the first verse read belongs back in chapter 10 in this case just just feel of continuity verse 12
(And I 100% completely concur with that.
I have long seen Revelation 17 and 18
as one continuous chapter.
As it seems like parts of each
are intermingled within each other.
I just dont get hung up on
"Chapter and verse" so much.)
"remember the chapter breaks
are man's division"
(But they were clearly guided by the spirit
and I got numerous examples of that
but no need here for these purposes.
The 1560 Geneva bible was the first to have chapter and verse:
it's interesting that very often we find ourselves
thinking in terms of Christ
and Satan in fact there's a very famous book that's useful for many reasons but has an unfortunate Title by Kurt cook it's called between Christ and Satan
11:5611 minutes, 56 seconds
it's an interesting book but
I've always been bothered by the title because it's misleading
opposites the Bible presents and maybe it's just using this idiomatically it presents Hades as
14:2714 minutes, 27 seconds
geocentric Hades is generally
described as being in the center of the earth
you may not have thought about
that down there we use that idiom you know rhetorically
but also we hear there's apparently a place called The
abuso the abyss translated typically
the bottomless pit there's only one place
geometrically you can have a bottomless pit
you see any place else but the center of the earth you can
15:0015 minutes
always dig deeperthere's only one place in the earth you can't dig any deeper you go any deeper you're leaving it I mean you know it's it's sort of the there's an old joke old riddle you know that uh two campers uh set up camp and walked 10 miles south found Bear Tracks follow those tracks 10 miles to the West shot the bear and then carried him 10 miles north back to Camp question is what color is the bear and the answer is white because it has to be a polar bear because the only place you can go south west and the North and back where you started would be at the North Pole so it's a it's a one of these children's riddles but the point is an interesting one you see from the North Pole all directions are South at the center of the Earth all directions are up Center of Earth the only place you can't go down further from so if you start thinking about that
15:5015 minutes, 50 seconds
"and you think if and if you're thinking geometrically
and I'm one of these weirdos you know
(Probably why I like him so much :-)
Cause me and honey are both "weirdos" as well.
I'm a physicist background math science major
15:5815 minutes, 58 seconds
uh in in in high school and Technical not as a kid
and you may think this is rather elliptical or bizarre or
paradoxical I happen to I should say
I don't think I wouldn't say I really believe this
I just suspect that's really where it'll be
it may be there
16:1416 minutes, 14 seconds
I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Hades is geocentric
because gehenna is the opposite
Jesus speaks of
16:2316 minutes, 23 seconds
Gehenna as the outer Darkness
("The Three Passages
Matthew 8:12 – Spoken after Jesus marvels at the faith of a Roman centurion. He warns that physical heritage alone does not secure a place in the kingdom of heaven, stating that unexpected people will recline at the table while those who expected to enter are thrown outside.
Matthew 22:13 – Found in the Parable of the Wedding Banquet, where a guest arrives without the proper wedding garment provided by the host. The guest is bound and cast out into the darkness, emphasizing the need for genuine spiritual preparation and righteousness.
Matthew 25:30 – Found at the conclusion of the Parable of the Talents, where an unfaithful and lazy servant who squandered his master's trust is cast out, illustrating the serious consequences of spiritual neglect and failure to serve God.
Understand now why you don't here sermons
on those verses in church?
Its okay to point the finger at anybody else,
just not ourselves so much right?
I just can not stand a "spiritual lazy" "believer".
they wanted to drill a hole through the mantle of the earth I remember when I first read
about that and was interested and I thought these guys are crazy they want to drill a hole through a wall where they don't know what's on the other side that's not too
bright you know what are they going to do if they
don't like with the results plug it with something you know um
fortunately Congress uh for probably a lot of other reasons
that you know cancel the project I was greatly relieved when they did I used to go back
to Revelation 9 and wonder if these you know anyway so
he always says if that's the case his chain is too

just don't understand the nature of t
he non-physical part of you
the real you the real you
is going is eternal has
has no time
time is the physical property
(Wow...first off,
There is no verse that says your soul is eternal.
That is your free gift of salivation
or your punishment of damnation for not accepting it.
"Eternity can only come from eternity"
is my way of phrasing it
"Now the most notable thing about both of these types of faith in a life to come is that there is no suggestion that the soul is by nature immortal...Instead the life to come is God's gift to those who are worthy."
Basic Christian Beliefs (1960) Fredrick C. Grant p.166
"extract yourself from this particular physical coil
and you're now out of the time domain
altogether the problem is
where are you going to spend it
are you going to be with God
in his presence or not..."
("Your conscious energy
will be transformed
and spend eternity somewhere."
Is how I like to phrase it.)
"that's theissue
19:0919 minutes, 9 seconds
and you can't be in his presence
we can't be in a presence
with our present genetic defect being subject to sin
19:1719 minutes, 17 seconds
but God has provided a remedy for that
and it's available for the asking

chapter 11 proceeding on it's interesting interesting model
if you declare chapter 11 the court will exchange in exchange
with doing what the court requires
they'll give you certain protections
if you're on death
row and the governor signs a pardon
for you it's not effective until you accept
it there are cases on record where pardon was granted
and the Prisoner denied it did not receive it
and chose to be executed and he was
20:1020 minutes, 10 seconds
you have a pardon signed paid in blood
on record but you got to receive it
if you insist upon not receiving
it the Lord will not violate your
sovereignty.
some theologians say
there will be no one in hell
for their sins
they'll be in hell
for not accepting the
provision God made for their sin
interesting concept
I'm not a theologian
I wouldn't press it
(Good advice lol)
I'm just a Bible teacher but I
think that's interesting:
(It's supported with scripture Dr. Missler
1st Corinthians 3:10-15
By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.
Nobody has ever 100% completely
stopped sinning after accepting Christ.
It's impossible. You are not him.
So it's pretty simple really:
Your reward in heaven
=
The work you do for the Kingdom
-
your sin
that gets thrown in the fire.
And your reward?
Well? If the 24 elders throw theirs down at his feet?
Revelation 4:10-11
10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
pretty safe to say you are going to as well.)
"so what as we study these topics let's be
uh uh conscious of the fact that
some of our images some of our ideas
are not shaped by the Bible but by great minds
who happen to write literature from a Biblical background
20:5620 minutes, 56 seconds
they're not obviously uh milk Dante, Goethe
and some of the Traditions come out are colorful and interesting
if you like literature
but don't confuse them with the reality.
(Satan was at work
in the popular culture of the day
even as far back as the 1200's and before.
Don't confuse it with scriptural truths.)
"we have two problems with respect to Satan
the first problem is
we don't take him seriously
the church is very comfortable
talking about Jesus Christ
in a lot of ways
they get a little squirmy
when you want
to start to talk about the
personification of evil
that there's
a knowledgeable powerful malevolent being
whose career is focused on trying to
destroy you personally
tough ideas we glibly
talk about them idiomatically rhetorically conceptually
but the reality is something
we get a little uncomfortable with
so the first mistake we have make is we don't take it too

seriously and by the way he's got a bunch of helpers
a third of the Angels fell with him Revelation 12 tells us
21:5421 minutes, 54 seconds
the good news is 2/3 didn't
so he's outnumbered
that's kind have a nice feeling
um but he's outnumbered if
22:0122 minutes, 1 second
nothing else than
his adversary is other Angels alone
his adversary isnt the guy that made him
in the first place the
22:0922 minutes, 9 seconds
creator of everything that made
that was made without him
was not anything made that was made
tells us the first three verses of his gospel
and let's not
forget who the Creator is
let's not forget
who Jesus Christ really is
and let's not sort of visualize him in an
22:2922 minutes, 29
you know
one for one kind of
standoff with Satan
you see that's the that's the
22:3722 minutes, 37 seconds
other error we make
we first of all either ignore Satan
or don't take him seriously
if we don't do that
we go the other way we become
22:4522 minutes, 45 seconds
terrified as you think about it
and read the scripture
and learn more we go we make
the other kind of mistake
and that's to tremble at every turn
22:5422 minutes, 54 seconds
it's interesting how many groups
that get pretty serious about spiritual things
and gets into demonology it isn't long before they see
a demon behind every tree and there's a risk there too
we need remember greater is he that is in
23:0923 minutes, 9 seconds
you than he that is in the world
but the one thought that I think
we should keep in mind
especially in our day today is
23:1823 minutes, 18 seconds
remember whose Turf we're on
see we you and I
we've grown up in a country
that's very unique or has been I
23:2723 minutes, 27 seconds
should could say for two centuries
better part of two centuries
we've been in a country where
the worship of Jesus Christ
was essentially encouraged where
23:3723 minutes, 37 seconds
there was at least lip service given
(Most of it was just that
and a lot of good the lip service did.
just look at US.)

as they say it's hard to visualize being effective at trying to wipe out the whole earth you might have some pretty bloody wars obviously you might have some plagues and stuff but I mean you know the technology didn't seem to be in hand for man to Red destroy himself but we fixed that

there should be Great Tribulation such as not since

it's interesting that Peter draws an analogy to the flood of Noah

Direct and potent demonic activity and deception can be discerned in every phase of the Jewish rejection of the Lord Jesus Christ, their Messiah, at His first advent. The venomous hatred of the scribes and the Pharisees, their secret and underhand plottings, the fraud and the crooked methods resorted to in His trial, His unjust condemnation, and shameful death-all bear the unmistakable stigma of demonic treachery. The insensate cry of the populace, "His blood be on us, and on our children" (Matt. 27:25), and the blindness which has rested on Jewish hearts down through the Christian centuries (Rom. 11:25), prove the grip that demon power has over this people. But, however great Jewish deception and demon domination have been in the past, the full force and manifestation of demonic tyranny, as in the case of unbelieving Gentiles, will not be reached until the last awful days of this dispensation, just preceding the second advent of the Messiah."
1. DEMONISM AND LAST-DAY JEWISH UNBELIEF
It was very significant prophecy which Jesus uttered concerning the abysmal delusion which would be the penalty for Jewish skepticism in the last days. ."I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive" (John 5:43). Refusing the light, they will accept gross darkness. Rejecting the true Christ, they will welcome the false one, even him "whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power, and signs, and lying wonders" (II Thess. 2:9), who "opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God" (II Thess. 2:4).Regathered to their homeland, established there as a nation in unbelief, with a rebuilt temple, and a reinstated Judaism, under demon tutelage and imposture, they will make a league with the Antichrist at the beginning of the amazing final seven years of this age (Dan. 9:27).
See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you,
There shall not be left here one stone upon another,
that shall not be thrown down.
Trying to be brief here lol...trying...)
Back to, THE DEMONOLOGY OF THE LAST DAYS AND THE JEW
"The ungodly alliance will prove a covenant with "death and hell" (Isa. 28:18), for in the middle of the period the false, flattering Messiah will break his agreement, sit in the temple, demanding worship for the image he will set up, "
(Written in 1952, today we understand that
He himself will be the image.
"A soulless quantum powered AI humanoid."
What could be any more antithetical to the
"Son of Man"
a Human Being?)
"and for himself. The cruel and terrible "abomination of desolation, (Matt. 24:15) will mark the commencement of the most intense and diabolical persecution of the Jew the world has yet seen, the horrible "time of Jacob's trouble" (Jer. 30:7).
"Through the fiery ordeal of death and desolation, the nation will be made to see its supreme folly and crime in rejecting its true Messiah, and choosing the false one.Through the refining crucible they will learn the deadly power of demonic delusion, and in their dire extremity, will turn their eyes heavenward, and cry for their true deliverer, as the godless demon-led armies close in to destroy them completely from the face of the earth."
"When their Messiah breaks through the heavens in unspeakable glory, the scales will at last fall from their blinded eyes, and when they look upon Him whom they have pierced, they will recognize Him not only as the Messiah, the King of kings and Lord of lords, but as the meek and lowly Jesus of Nazareth, whom they slew on Golgotha's brow. Unbelief will give way to radiant faith, and hardness of heart to great mourning and "the spirit of grace and supplications" (Zech. 12:10).
2. DEMONISM AND LAST-DAY JEWISH DEMONIC POSSESSION
The twelfth chapter of Matthew is a scathing exposure of the wickedness and gross unbelief of the Jews in rejecting and slandering their King and Messiah. Their dreadful guilt in repudiating divinely attested truth, in refusing inward light, and thus sinning against the Holy Spirit, made them more culpable than the ancient heathen (Matt. 12:38-42), and furnishes the background and occasion for Jesus' vivid prophetic parable incisively emphasizing the appalling fact, that,
Using the graphic and significant figure of a demoniac, Jesus sketches in that chapter the history of the Jewish people (Matt. 12:43-45). The illustration begins at the point of dispossession. "But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and findeth it not" (v. 43). The demon-possessed man represents, according to the scope of the passage indicated by our Lord himself, "this evil generation" (v. 45). The reference to "race" (genea) is clearly to the Jewish nation, which had so signally exhibited its crime, and so deservedly merited the epithet "evil" in its abysmal unbelief and deliberate rejection of its rightful Messiah. The man in the original demonized state speaks of the nation "from the time of the Exodus to the period of the Captivity," when the worship of other gods exercised a strange and horrible fascination over the people," and "deprived them . . . of light, reason, and the true freedom of will," so that they were enslaved and possessed by the "unclean spirit" of idolatry. The expulsion of the demon from the man suggests the departure of the unclean spirit of idolatry from the nation after the exile, when, not so much by the teaching of the prophets as by that of the scribes and the Pharisees, idolatory seemed banished forever. The house, "empty, swept, and garnished" (v. 44), describes the condition of the Jews under their freedom from idolatry and with their moral and social improvements. However, the arresting word is "empty." The nation was (and is) undeniably improved in certain ways, "swept clean, and in good order." But the calamitous thing is that it was (and is) "empty," unoccupied by God's Spirit, unpossessed by a living faith, and uncontrolled by any genuine spiritual life. The resulting improvements are of no avail, and are to be swept away."
"The seven other more evil idolatrous spirits,7 joined with the first, enter into the man and forewarn of the last and worst state of the nation in the great tribulation. Then, destitute of faith, and bereft of God's Spirit, the nation will be the pitiable prey of more numerous, more depraved and destructive demons than at any previous period in its history, and will be held in the grip of a more intense, complete, and tyrannous state of demon possession than ever before. It will be this condition of complete demonic domination and subjugation that will account for the nation's supreme act of idolatry and wickedness, the colossal blunder of making a covenant with the Antichrist, incurring unparalleled disaster and ruin. Daniel 9:27.
So during
The Great Tribulation
The Jewish people get a double dose
of Gods wrath,
NOT
protected from it.)

Zechariah verse 8 it will come to pass

"but you also find this idea of the
faithful of Israel
in the book"
(Faithfull True Believers.
As Dr. Missler stated above
Who does Satan accuse?
Believers.
Thats not Jews
and this isnt complicated.
And no I do not have a thing
against Jews anymore than I have
anything against anyone else,

who just choose to ignore reality)

'one of the things
many people look to this
and say gee
this is
a post-tribulation Resurrection
yes indeed
that leads to a doctrine
that most of the scholars
that I hold in highest respect cling to
that may surprise you
(And this is a staunch
"Pretribulation" admitting
"this is
a post-tribulation Resurrection'
See why he is struggling?
Staying off topic so much?
"It is essential that we stand back from our presumptions and prejudices and listen carefully to what the Biblical text is telling us. We are living in exciting times, but we need to be diligent in our study of God’s Word. The only certain barrier to truth is the presumption that we already have it."
~
Chuck Missler 2009"
He didn't do that here,
and it shows through
with the staying off topic,
you can get into that on your own etc...)
AND WHY?
What's wrong with "clinging"
to the truth of Gods word?
It's Gods word
and it is very much straight forward
unlike some other doctrines like oh IDK
Dispensationalism, Pretribulation rapture,
Christian Zionism etc.)
45:1445 minutes, 14 seconds
"there is a widely held view
among specialists in eschatology
that the Rapture involves
the church only"
(Just show me one verse
where it is mentioned explicitly.
IT'S NOT.
If that is the truth?
(The "Rapture" of the church before the tribulation)
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
I'll remind you what Christ himself said:
Matthew 24:29-30
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
As well as what he prayed
for all of us
John 17:15
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
John 17:20, same prayer...
Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
AND?
When does the wheat get
separated from the chaff?
Matthew 3:11-12
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
12 Whose fan is in his hand,
and he will throughly purge his floor,
and gather his wheat into the garner;
but he will burn up the chaff
with unquenchable fire.
Also to be found in Luke 3:17.
His floor and his wheat
aint referring to the wicked
its the pretenders, imposters, posers,
the wish they weres and the wanna bes
filling up church pews every Sunday.
AND when is
the separating the good fish
from the bad fish?
Matthew 13:47-50
47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net,
that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore,
and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels,
but cast the bad away.
49 So shall it be at the end of the world:
the angels shall come forth,
and sever the wicked from among the just,
50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire:
there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
There are plenty of fish
that werent caught up in that net
thats the wicked outside the church.
The bad fish in the net is the wicked
inside the church.
That gets separated out
and the Tribulation is how it is done.
"When it was full" means
at the appointed time.
At the end of our age.
In the Scofield reference bible?
The very one that popularized the idea of a
"Pre-tribulation Rapture"?
Scofield only had a comment on Matthew 13:47-50
(none of the others)
and that comment doesn't address the separation
of the good from the wicked from within The Church.
and it aint to hard to figure out why that is.)
"most of us I know
I've often haven't you know uh alluded to the idea
that you know all believers get get resurrected
at the Rapture
there are those who study this
more precisely who argue
that the Jewish Believers
of the Old Testament are
45:4545 minutes, 45 seconds
raptured with Israel
after the tribulation
(Body of true believers,
and I wouldn't worry so much about
the Old Testament Saints,
the Martyrs will train em up
during the millennium.
(We will see here in a lil while
theres no need for that.0
Revelation 20:6
Blessed and holy is he that
hath part (shares)
in the first resurrection:
on such the second death hath no power,
but they shall be priests of God and of Christ,
and shall reign with him a thousand years.
If you are going to share in something?
Gotta have somebody to do it with

that never heard the word)
"Perfect students", I call em
because their minds are clean
they haven't been polluted with things like
oh, IDK, the Pretribulation rapture,
Christian Zionism
Amillennialism, Dispensationalism etc...
The martyrs in the Millennial Kingdom
are going to be doing something,
they not just hanging out with Christ
for 1000 years doing nothing.)
"that the Rapture of the
church is the rapture of the church"
(Be a Berean
give me a verse, and
Notice Dr. Missler hasn't.
This is just complete nonsense,
came to the game late
(1800's)
and is very far removed from the truth
and only caught on
in the West, largely in the US
where we just want everything
to be comfortable.
WELL TOUGH.
Get ready for the refining fire
of your redeemer
or get out.)
"now I don't want to oversell that
because we're in an area where
there a lot of good competent Scholars have
differences of view
it gets into some to start splitting these hairs
gets into a lot of technicalities of both the Greek
and the Hebrew and all that and I don't
I don't want to get us all derailed in those things
(Cause it disproves what you are saying.
Where is the "splitting of hairs" mentioned
to be found here:
"I'll remind you what Christ himself said:
Matthew 24:29-30
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

"but I mention so you at least be aware of this
many of you may already hold that view
many of you may
46:1746 minutes, 17 seconds
be startled by that
because in Christian Community
where we deal
with the Bible literally
(Be a Berean, find me the verse.
If true? Then this is a monumental occasion:
The Rapture of Believers
BEFORE
the Tribulation
Christ never said a word about it.
NOT ONE.
The five sections of scripture above just repudiate every last bit of it. I just told honey the robots are gonna come and haul people off
and they are still gonna be thinking they are gonna get "Raptured"
The actual word is Harpazo and it means a kidnapping it is to be violently taken away against ones will.
So why would Christ have to do that?)
"I think the concept of rapture
is you know well talked about although
46:2546 minutes, 25 seconds
the more I study the Rapture
the more I'm convinced
that most of the literature
has the foggiest notion
of what the Rapture is really all about"
(Cause as demonstrated its all man made up bullshit.
Satanic delusion is a part of end time prophecy ya know?
Thessalonians 2:11-12
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion,
that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned
who believed not the truth,
but had pleasure in unrighteousness.)
46:3346 minutes, 33 seconds
we have all these funny little diagrams you see in book prophecy books
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
right in the bottomless pit in the abuso let's just go through verse one I saw an angel come down from heaven having a key in the bottom his pit and a great chain in his hand notice it's an Angel Angel that's kind of interesting Shows Christ is Superior as he has one of his underlings lock of Satan.
(Probably Michael)
and he laid hold on the dragon that old serpent who is devil and Satan the dragon the serpent devil and Satan I mean how the Holy Spirit make you know it's clear what we're talking about and bound him a thousand years and cast him into the bottomless pit and shut him up and set a seal upon him that he should deceive the Nations no more till the Thousand Years be fulfilled see that's his primary errand
'now here again in verse two and many of those who sleep in the dust of the Earth shall awake some to everlasting life some to Everlast shame and everlasting contempt again in the Old Testament perspective we have here we don't have the detail that we get from Revelation because in Revelation we know there's at least Thousand Years between them
and that he shall stand at that Latter day upon the
Earth and though after my skin worms destroy this body
yet in my flesh shall I see God
whom I shall see for myself and not
another though my heart be consumed
within me
when is he resurrected
53:1453 minutes, 14 seconds

there is no Old Testament scripture

will be resurrected at the
Rapture of the church

a "Rapture of the church"
...duh.)
53:4453 minutes, 44 seconds
Rapture of the church
I'm not saying they are not many scholars say they're not
I'm just pointing out there isn't any scripture that says they do in other
words they're not necessarily linked to they're not necessareily linked to
the Rapture cuz the church is Rapture anyway
(I have not watched the video
and now I've been through here three times
and each time it just seems more and more obvious
he is struggling with what he is saying.
And its pretty obvious why.
He didn't leave his presuppositions at the door
like he should have.)
"that okay okay I think we've done that verse
three and they that be wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament
and they that turn many to righteousness as
the Stars forever and ever it's kind of interesting
the verb is zahar to shine forth or to be brilliant we use that
phrase you know someone's really br he shines forth here
the ID the the yard stick here is
they're they're they're they're wise if they're winning souls to
Christ in our idian okay
I think that uh all that speaks for
'itself okay now we get to verse four
a widely misunderstood
verse but thou Daniel shut up the words and seal the book
even to the time of the end many shall run to and fro and
knowledge will be increased
it's interesting that Daniel's book is contrasted
with Revelation where John is told seal not the book it's
55:0355 minutes, 3 seconds
unsealed Daniel's book is sealed now
many people presume
what that means is
that it's sealed as it's hidden
okay indeed it's hidden in the sense that Jesus says
they're blinded to it from Luke 19 through up to Romans 11:25
but the word ceiling here really implies something a little different
the actual word implies being guarded or preserved
until the time of the end
we will find out that Daniel who was writing this
didn't understand it
I'll come to that in a minute but thou oh
Daniel and all is by the way
all all the way through from 10 11 and 12
the Angel's talking to Daniel
that the Angel's been telling them all this but
thou oh Daniel shut up the words and seal a book
even to the time of the end
other was his book will be preserved
until the time of the end and many shall run
to and fro and knowledge shall be
increased this has been so often quoted
to prophesy the information explosion
that we're experiencing,
(I wish you could see it now Chuck.)
"the experts in information Sciences
generally hold the view
that all the knowledge on the planet Earth
doubles every 10 years which means that
half of everything we know
we've learned in the last 10 years
it's kind of interesting you put it it's the same same statement
turned around right
half of all that's known was discovered in the last 10 years
it doubles every year right
if you take a look at Solomon just to pick some tech let's let's make a
technology survey here thumbnail one
Solomon traveled at the speed of horseback
communicated with remote places by foot messenger
he closed himself with an
economy that was agrarian agricultural
you plunged forward 3,000
year Well virtually better part of 3,000 years to
come to George Washington
he traveled the speed of horseback he
communicated by foot messenger
and he clothed himself essentially
with an agriculture or an
agrarian economy right
in the very brief period from to
Washington to today
we travel at the speed of sound
we communicate at the speed of light
we clothe ourselves with molecules
that are designed in the laboratory
to have the properties we're looking
for interesting so many arguments
can be made in this flavor relative to this
57:4757 minutes, 47 seconds verse
but I have to tell you candidly
I don't believe that's what it means
I believe the knowledge here
is what it's talking about is the knowledge
of This Book of this prophecy"
(I completely disagree
That perspective simply fails this test:
"Does the viewpoint...
demonstrate a proper method
of interpreting Scripture?...
Does it fit the facts of history?"

I don't know when this was recorded but the knowledge of The Book of Daniel has certainly been decreasing in my lifetime.
Dont ever listen to a "Christian" podcaster or "Christian" Social Media "Influencer" who only talks about the end times in reference to The Book of Revelation.
and I think I may have mentioned this anecdote to you before but I'll include it here for those who may not have heard it I had a bizarre experience about a year ago how Lindsay and I are a little more a year ago H Lindsay and I were doing a little research paper on the identity of Gog and MOG and I was digging into some stuff and what puzzled us we've talked about it many times Hal and I that no one seems to know who Gog is with both Hal and extensive library and so do I we've I've indulged myself in books for 40 years especially about prophecy and especially about Ezekiel and Daniel and you when you wa through that stuff you people don't know who Gog is they have all kinds of conjectures but you can puncture most of them with just a little research they Gog shows up from nowhere and he just you know it's not like God to have some key person just emerge I happen to stumble I shouldn't put that way the Holy Spirit Led me I guess is the proper cliche but anyway I came across Amos 7:1 hold your place here you don't need to track this I'll show you what's written in your Bible it's probably not right but let me just you go to Amos chapter 7 verse 1 you have a weird verse thus ha the Lord God shown unto me and behold he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth and lo it was the latter growth after the king's mowings what does that mean I had no idea well you start digging into this and you discover something very strange this of course is taken from the Hebrew mastic text that's typically your Old Testament primary roote but in the subagent in the Greek it reads differently in Amos 7:1 the sept aent reads the Lord hath shown me and behold a swarm of locusts were coming and behold one of the young devastating locusts was Gog the king now reads quite differently the septuaent being translated from Hebrew into Greek three centuries before Christ was born the Septuagint is a major document there's four versions of it around I'll come back to that in a minute um but it's Sanctified by the Holy Spirit most of the quotes in the New Testament are from the septu the book of Hebrews quotes from the septuso it's a non-trivial frame of reference doesn't mean it's always correct there's some differences of course from the different things but here's what is really different well it blew me away you see if if this this what whatever it's talking about doesn't matter because this swarm that's prophesied here Amos the next verse prays that it doesn't happen and God says okay it won't happen so whatever it's prophesying was you know they wres the Blackboard you sort of wonder why the Holy Spirit put it here I have a reason I think but the point is when you get to Revelation chapter 9 you discover that there's locusts there that come out of the abuso and they're weird creatures but before that chapter is over it points out that these locusts have a king whose name is Apollon or Abadan in the Greek or the Hebrew and the reason anybody that studied Revelation carefully knows that in in Proverbs 30:27the Holy Spirit tells you the locusts have no King kind of a weird thing for the Holy Spirit to tuck away in the Book of Proverbs why so that when you get to Revelation 9 you understand
those locusts are not natural Locust
they're demons
( 100% agree about them not being natural,
100% completely disagree on them being demons:
Revelation 9:4
And it was commanded them
that they should not hurt
the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree;
but only those men
which have not
the seal of God
in their foreheads.
If they were demons?
It would be the other way around)
"and they obviously
are from the account usually study but the
use the use of the word Locust
to as an idiom for demons is clear in Revelation 9
(No its not see comment above
"hurt...only those men which have not
the seal of God in their foreheads.)
"and your clue to that is that locust
the natural Locust have no King according to
Proverbs 30:27
(Just because they are supernatural
doesn't make em demons
Angels are Supernatural beings as well
and his lil spiel on Amos 7:1 is just
completely irrelevant.)
"when you have that all at background
and you come across Amos 71 in the septu that the king of the Locust
there is Gog Gog thus becomes introduced in the biblical narrative
as a king one of the demon Kings and and demons are
territorial they're geographically described
we learn that in Daniel 10 didn't we last couple weeks ago
now anyway what I started to say was there's
not a big deal
but it blew me away
CU this
how could a verse in the Old Testament be overlooked
all all the guys have written prophecy books for several
centuries you know don't make mention to this they escaped their notice
so I scooped I took call hal on the phone scooped up all my notes drove a couple
1:02:351 hour, 2 minutes, 35 seconds
hours out to Palace veres and we spent about 3: in the morning
"I remember as a kid I was very fascinated with this whole business of you know there was big arguments will Israel ever really be back in the Land There were those that argued both sides that question well those arguments should have ended on 14th of May of 1948 they didn't they
1:03:361 hour, 3 minutes, 36 seconds
still go on but the point is there's
so many debates of the past
that are academic today
because they're
1:03:441 hour, 3 minutes, 44 seconds
behind they're it fulfilled
is Israel going to build their Temple
(If they do?
Then It's Satan's
as Judaism is a false religion.
Matthew 24:1-2
24 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
they're about to you know is Babylon going to be rebuilt the
arres boy a lot of a lot of Scholars are only a minority of guys
like J Berge and a few others really held the idea it's got to be a literal
Babylon and now we all starting to look back through our notes because here's Saddam Hussein spending 20 years building it you say wait a minute that puts a different complexion on Isaiah Isaiah 13, 14Jeremiah 15, 51 and so on
And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
He was baptizing in The Jordan river.
Same stones? Dr. Missler himself has even suggested as much.
interesting we talk about theory of inspiration the the
the holy writers writing
did not necessarily understand
what they're writing
they were Guided by the Holy Spirit
(Familiar with the concept a lil yo...
There is a huge difference between scholarship
and being actively and repeatedly,
if not just 100% continuously guided
by the Holy Spirit.
That seems to be something even modern day
preachers just can not wrap their heads around. )
"don't let people tell you well gee they did it in their own vernacular and we need to understand their idioms and stuff we more can understand the better but recognize the supernatural process is going on and here's a good case here's a proof of it Daniel wrote this he didn't understand it
I heard and I understood not then
said I oh my Lord what shall be the end of these things
if you're using 360 days it's 6 years and 11 months
I don't know how many people make that correction
(Its why I asked honey what
1230/by 30 was when I hit that # in our
card game the other night.)
"and by the time you get to the middle of the week
you got the Abomination of Desolation that's your
Anchor Point that's your Milestone
that theoretically leaves you
1260 days to the end
of the 7th week of Daniel right
1:10:041 hour, 10 minutes, 4 seconds
that's even a little messier because Jesus says
unless those days be shortened
there should no flesh be saved
so I get the impression
need to reserve the prerogative
to drop in maybe after
1250 or something all right
but here the allusion is to 1290
there's an extra month there
is that a month of mourning?
is that a month of cleansing
the temple?
(What temple?
Matthew 24:2-3
24 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not ALL these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
There are still stones on top of each other there.
The Anti-Christ and his ISIS army
are gonna finish the job
after he declares himself God on that very wall.
Christ sacrifice
made Jewish temple worship
100% obsolete.
That alone should tell you
there is no need for a third temple.
(Something I used to think as well)
Tying Christian prophecy to a rebuilt temple
of a false religion is just about a sick perversion
The Jews that have something to be concerned about are the ones that lived during the time of the messiah walking this earth and afterwards who rejected him, not the ones before that who believed in God and his coming messiah.
And that verse proves it.
So no need to train up
"old testament Saints"
in the Millennium.
They are all already accounted for.
so ends the most interesting
richest comprehensive prophetic book of
1:12:111 hour, 12 minutes, 11 seconds
the Old Testament Jesus said that
not one yach or one turt shall pass from the law
until all be fulfilled every detail we've read
1:12:201 hour, 12 minutes, 20 seconds
everything will obviously come home to roost
And we can see
that it is...
I'll just offer this
as a summary:
THIS:
Daniel 12:1
12 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
IS THIS:
Revelation 13:8
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him,
whose names are not written
in the book of life
of the Lamb slain
from the foundation of the world.
Revelation 17:8
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
