The prayer of the living Christian will be to “be filled with the knowledge of His will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, that ye may walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness.” Colossians 1:9-11. “In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” Colossians 2:3.
Here is the true knowledge, which should be desired and possessed by every Christian. This knowledge will not lead to ungodliness. It will not break down the constitution, nor bring a gloomy cloud over the mind; but will impart substantial joys and true happiness. This wisdom is divine, and flows ceaselessly from a pure fountain which gives peace, joy, and health.
Even many professed Christians seem to have no earnest desire for this heavenly knowledge, and remain in willing ignorance of this divine grace which it is their privilege to obtain. The only safety for the youth is to seek this precious wisdom, which will assuredly destroy all desire for corrupt knowledge. And when they have acquired a relish for the pure, calm, satisfying joys of faith and holiness, every feeling of their being will rise in abhorrence to corrupting pleasures. All can choose life if they will. They can resist sin, take pleasure in the ways of righteousness and true holiness, and be rewarded with eternal life in God's everlasting kingdom.
If they choose to corrupt their ways before the Lord, defile their own bodies and commit self-murder, they can do so; but they should remember that the judgment is to sit, and the books are to be opened, and they are to be judged out of those things which are written in the books, according to their works. What a fearful, spotted record will be opened before them, of their secret thoughts, and vile acts. Sentence is pronounced upon them, and they are shut out from the city of God, with the ungodly, and miserably perish with the wicked.
Now is the time of preparation. None need to expect that God will do the work of preparing and fitting them up, without their efforts. It is for them to work the works of righteousness, and crowd all the right-doing they can into the little space of time allotted to them before probation closes, that they may have a clean record in Heaven. I close with the entreaty of the prophet, “Turn ye, turn ye, from your evil ways; for why will ye die?” Ezekiel 33:11.
From an old book “Solemn Appeal” 1870

On Being Free Men And Women In Christ Jesus
I have in the past spoke of this and want to make it clear again as I know just what that means and what it means to us. Unless we find our freedom totally in Him we are not really free and this is the only way Jesus would have it to be. It does take something on our part, something that so many don't want to give, total and full surreder of your will, love and all that we are and be His completly and in every way being this our hearts desire. If it isn't the full hearts desire you have failed to find it.
It actually amounts to this, we are free in Him when it don't interfere with our freedom in no way shape or form to do His entire will for us. We do it because it has become our will and our love also and His law of love is now our law of love, we are then free, totally free men and women in Him.
Here's a paragraph from an old periodical from a writer many years ago so this is not a new thing but has been the case since our Lord came and gave his all for us, and now we need only give our total will to Him.
"Christianity is simply living by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. We are to believe in, and live in, Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life. We have faith in God when we believe His word; we trust and obey God when we keep His commandments; and we love God when we love His law. Believing a lie will not put any one of us in the way of being sanctified. Should all the ministers in the world tell us that we were safe in disobeying a single precept of the holy standard of righteousness, it would not lessen our obligations, nor make our guilt less, if we reject a plain "Thou shalt" or "Thou shalt not." We need not think that because our fathers did a certain way, and died happy, we may follow in their footsteps, and be accepted in rendering the same service, and doing the same works, that they did. We have had more light than they had in their day; and if we would be accepted of God, we must be as faithful in obeying the light and walking in it as they were in receiving and obeying the light that God sent to them. We must accept and improve the light that shines upon our pathway, as faithfully as they accepted and improved the light that fell upon their pathway in their generation. We shall be judged according to the light that shines into the soul-temple in our day; and if we follow the light, we shall be free men and women in Christ Jesus.
OK, now to finish my thoughts here, it is the law of love, and Jesus is love and it is His Law and if we say we Love Him and not do All His law we prove ourselves to be liars. It you truly Love Him, then you truly Love His Law of Love and then will your will to do His will He sets you free and you have a peace the world will never know unless they too fall upon that "Rock" Jesus and be broken, if not then the scripture says that Rock will grind to powder those who don't.
Lu 20:18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
It actually amounts to this, we are free in Him when it don't interfere with our freedom in no way shape or form to do His entire will for us. We do it because it has become our will and our love also and His law of love is now our law of love, we are then free, totally free men and women in Him.

How Will You Use Your Will?
The Will Is The Deciding Power
Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2.
There is nothing that can keep you away from God but a rebellious will.
The will is the governing power in the nature of man. If the will is set right, all the rest of the being will come under its sway. The will is not the taste or the inclination, but it is the choice, the deciding power, the kingly power, which works in the children of men unto obedience to God or to disobedience.
You will be in constant peril until you understand the true force of the will. You may believe and promise all things, but your promises and your faith are of no account until you put your will on the right side. If you will fight the fight of faith with your will power, there is no doubt that you will conquer.
Your part is to put your will on the side of Christ. When you yield your will to His, He immediately takes possession of you, and works in you to will and to do of His good pleasure.
Php 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Your nature is brought under the control of His Spirit. Even your thoughts are subject to Him. If you cannot control your impulses, your emotions, as you may desire, you can control the will, and thus an entire change will be wrought in your life. When you yield up your will to Christ, your life is hid with Christ in God. It is allied to the power which is above all principalities and powers. You have a strength from God that holds you fast to His strength; and a new life, even the life of faith, is possible to you.
You can never be successful in elevating yourself, unless your will is on the side of Christ, cooperating with the Spirit of God. Do not feel that you cannot; but say, “I can, I will.” And God has pledged His Holy Spirit to help you in every decided effort.

How Are They Left?
They’re left Dead It Looks Like From These Verses.
Lu 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
Lu 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
Lu 17:30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Lu 17:36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Then He was asked where are they left, dead of course for the eagles, or buzzards.
Lu 17:37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
Rapture?
Lu 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

Rapture?
What Generation, It Has To Be The Last
What generation was Jesus talking about? This one now?
Lu 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
A note on the above verse, the times of the Gentiles began AD 34 when the Gospel went to them at the end of the times allotted to the Jews and then brings us down to the end of the times of the Gentiles. It is this last generation that will see these things.
Lu 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Lu 21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
Lu 21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Lu 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Lu 21:31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
Next verse identifies the generation spoken of is the ones that see these things and that is the last generation.
Lu 21:32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
I find we are in the time of that last generation.
Matt tells us the same story.
Mt 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Mt 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

It Is That Time For A One And Only “Rapture“.
“Coming” is the right word for the above, Rapture is a coined word.
People today are not discerning the time that is upon them and are putting His coming too far in the future.
Mt 16:3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
Mt 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
False teachers, prophets have Christendom dumbed down and asleep.
Lu 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
Lu 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Ac 2:19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
Joe 2:1 ¶ Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
Mt 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.
He will be visible when He comes as we see in the verse above and the verses below.
Ac 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Re 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
Show me a verse that even comes close to a secret taking up of any. Rapture is a coined word.
This is just another false teaching that has no solid Biblical basis.
There is no reason He would take a few ahead of the rest. It’s like with so little time left there is no reason for it. Time is so short now that if the Jews are going to rebuild the temple they better get it done instead of bullying the world and warring with the nations around them and building an arsenal for war like no other country in the world for the size.
I worked with a man who would lease a car because he thought he would probably be raptured while out driving and didn’t want to own it for that reason. But he leased them for years and he is still here. He figured pay for it as you go and he wouldn’t loose so much as if he paid cash for them when he bought one as he didn‘t want to pay interest on a loan. It just isn’t going to happen that way. The arguments for it are as lame as the arguments for the false Sabbath, Sunday and Sabbath means Seventh so there is only one out of the seven that is. Jesus is your Sabbath rest but only if you come and tabernacle with him on that one and only Holy Day. Then He will mark you as His own and the angels can see that mark.
Yes He is coming again and very soon and it will be in the clouds and every eye will see Him.

It Is High Time To Understand Revelation Chapter 13: Rightly!
The problem of not taking into account of the crowns changing from the heads to the horns has a big impact. This point has never been brought out. When did it happen in time? It happened when the pope was taken captive and killed. It put an end to the martyrdom of the dark ages. Then Satan sets up a new order of rule changing the king power from the heads to the horns.
In Rev. 13:1 we see the crowns on the horns on this new image beast that is rising up out of the sea of peoples. Previous to this date it was Satan’s old world order and now starts a New World Order. N.W.O. That date was 1798. Satan the great red dragon in chap. 12 ruled the earth through the religious systems, the heads, they had the crowns. Read Rev 12:3 to see this. Five of those religious systems were proven false when Christ died on the cross and Him resurrected proving this was the true religion, it had a Saviour. So then after around 300 years it fell in apostasy and became the Papacy. The Papacy became the one that John saw as “one is” in his day.
17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. (Chapter 17: is the explanation chapter)
So this makes the papacy the sixth head of the beast system. The one that “is not yet come” is the reform movement known as Protestantism which did continue for approximately 500 years, a short space and counts to the seventh head. Now all protestant churches are no longer protestant of the Papacy or Judaism or even the occult etc. The only protestants are now the invisible true church. Like you and I as we see all in apostasy and protest.
Re 17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. ( very important verse )
Re 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
The beast that is the eighth is Satan, the first son of perdition. He is of the seven because he now leads them all. The one that became the Papacy was the one set up by the Apostles and was the one John saw “and one is” after the five before it fell proven false, no saviour. This is the heads, six in Johns day, the seventh had not yet come.
Re 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.
We see him come out of the earth in Rev. 13:11 where he was cast “into the earth“. Yes and the whole world will “wonder”, admire and worship him.
Re 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
(then )
Re 13:11 ¶ And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
He comes out personating Jesus and will take that name, he appears to be a male lamb so to speak, Jesus Christ the Saviour but is not. But he speaks as a dragon because that’s who he is! However he has not as of yet been allowed to come forth and try to prove he is Jesus Christ.
That should explain the change of kingly power and it’s importance to the prophecy.
Now to show the Papacy is not the first beast of Rev. 13:. It is really very simple but not many read and understand all each verse brings out.
Re 13:1 ¶ And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
This leopard like beast also has 7 heads and 10 horns like the great red dragon, Satan and so is his image, likeness, as it is later called.
Re 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
Re 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
First off notice “one” of the beasts heads is wounded and is healed and then all the world wonders after the beast, not the wounded head that was healed. There is 6 more heads to the beast and 10 horns. The beast is greater than the head that was wounded.
Note also it is the dragon giving this first beast “HIS” power, seat and great authority, 13:2 above.
Re 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
I want to bring out another important point here and that is this image beast can only make war for 42 more months after the deadly wound is healed. These 3 verses prove it.
Re 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Re 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Re 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
You surely can see he then is to continue to make war, on the Saints, and that is it period, no more continue.
The dragon is revealed at this from verse 11 on, has power to give life to the image beast. No one makes war with it as it now rules the world.
Re 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
This he does to prove to the world he is God.
Re 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Re 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
The number of this second beast is 666, verse 18 and a lot of folks fly up and say well Satan is not a man but God sees it different.
Eze 28:9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
Eze 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Eze 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
America is not the second beast of chap. 13. SDA’s didn’t follow EGW too well, read what she said here, 3 Selected Messages page 393 paragraph 1, note the verses she quotes.
“In Revelation we read concerning Satan: "And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name" (Revelation 13:13-17)”. . . . {3SM 393.1}
The first beast of the chap. now has “his” Satan’s seat, power and great authority. Then when Satan comes forth and after a time he will give the ten “horns” I find a tenth of the earths kingdom to each of them as his under shepherds. They have king power now but have not been divided a portion yet as their domain, kingdom. One hour only though, verse Re. 17:12.
Re 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
And so then they are totally with him, “one mind” and
Re 17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
If this don’t make sense let me know where you have trouble.
Bro. Gibs.
In Rev. 13:1 we see the crowns on the horns on this new image beast that is rising up out of the sea of peoples. Previous to this date it was Satan’s old world order and now starts a New World Order. N.W.O. That date was 1798. Satan the great red dragon in chap. 12 ruled the earth through the religious systems, the heads, they had the crowns. Read Rev 12:3 to see this.

17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. (Chapter 17: is the explanation chapter)
So this makes the papacy the sixth head of the beast system. The one that “is not yet come” is the reform movement known as Protestantism which did continue for approximately 500 years, a short space and counts to the seventh head. Now all protestant churches are no longer protestant of the Papacy or Judaism or even the occult etc. The only protestants are now the invisible true church.

The beast that is the eighth is Satan, the first son of perdition. He is of the seven because he now leads them all. The one that became the Papacy was the one set up by the Apostles and was the one John saw “and one is” after the five before it fell proven false, no saviour.

We see him come out of the earth in Rev. 13:11 where he was cast “into the earth“. Yes and the whole world will “wonder”, admire and worship him.
Re 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
(then )
Re 13:11 ¶ And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
He comes out personating Jesus and will take that name, he appears to be a male lamb so to speak, Jesus Christ the Saviour but is not. But he speaks as a dragon because that’s who he is! However he has not as of yet been allowed to come forth and try to prove he is Jesus Christ.
That should explain the change of kingly power and it’s importance to the prophecy.
Now to show the Papacy is not the first beast of Rev. 13:. It is really very simple but not many read and understand all each verse brings out.

Re 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
First off notice “one” of the beasts heads is wounded and is healed and then all the world wonders after the beast, not the wounded head that was healed. There is 6 more heads to the beast and 10 horns. The beast is greater than the head that was wounded.
Note also it is the dragon giving this first beast “HIS” power, seat and great authority, 13:2 above.
Re 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
I want to bring out another important point here and that is this image beast can only make war for 42 more months after the deadly wound is healed. These 3 verses prove it.
Re 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Re 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Re 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
You surely can see he then is to continue to make war, on the Saints, and that is it period, no more continue.
The dragon is revealed at this from verse 11 on, has power to give life to the image beast. No one makes war with it as it now rules the world.
Re 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
This he does to prove to the world he is God.
Re 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Re 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
The number of this second beast is 666, verse 18 and a lot of folks fly up and say well Satan is not a man but God sees it different.
Eze 28:9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
Eze 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Eze 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
America is not the second beast of chap. 13. SDA’s didn’t follow EGW too well, read what she said here, 3 Selected Messages page 393 paragraph 1, note the verses she quotes.
“In Revelation we read concerning Satan: "And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name" (Revelation 13:13-17)”. . . . {3SM 393.1}
The first beast of the chap. now has “his” Satan’s seat, power and great authority. Then when Satan comes forth and after a time he will give the ten “horns” I find a tenth of the earths kingdom to each of them as his under shepherds. They have king power now but have not been divided a portion yet as their domain, kingdom. One hour only though, verse Re. 17:12.
Re 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
And so then they are totally with him, “one mind” and
Re 17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
If this don’t make sense let me know where you have trouble.

The Seventy Weeks of Daniel Nine
The prophecy of the 2300 years and the prophecy of the 490 years, (70 weeks of years ), is on the Jubilee calendar, a day for a year, weeks of years and not weeks of days. Also both start the same year and the 70 wks. of yrs. comes off the 2300 years.
Daniel is told that 70 weeks, (of years), were determined ( means taken off of the 2300 years of chapter 8, men put in the chapters ) upon his people, the holy city and to finish the transgression.
Note, The 2300 yrs brings us down to our year 1844.
Then more is added in verse 24 that would be the fruition.
Hebrew for “determined” chathak khaw-thak'
a primitive root; properly, to cut off, i.e. (figuratively) to decree:--determine
Christians, here is another proof that the 70'th week of years fell, as time must, in it's order. These are a cutoff of the 2300 hundred years. If that 70'th week of years were pulled out it would have thrown the 2300 years short 7 years, no way Hosea. Dispensationalism wants to have it not fall where time must but clear down at the end. It cannot be done, get over it.
Da 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.
Da 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 in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
They finished the transgression that 70'th week, crucified Christ and the Apostles finished His ministry to them the rest of that 70'th week of years. He made an end of sin, atoned for them, His Blood and the most Holy was anointed.
First that was to come to pass is 7 weeks of years the street and the wall would be rebuilt in troublous times. Then plus 62 more weeks of years verse 26, the Messiah to come would be cut off. The rest of verse 26 describes the troublous times.
Messiah's ministry was the cutting off, not the 70'th week, the fact He died the mid year of that week proves it. His Crucifixion cut off His ministry and the Apostles finished it.
Verse 25 below tells us this vision starts with the decree to restore and to build Jerusalem.
In the seventh chapter of Ezra the decree is found. [Ezra 7:12-26.] In its most complete form it was issued by Artaxerxes, king of Persia, B. C. 457. But in Ezra 6:14 the house of the Lord at Jerusalem is said to have been built “according to the commandment [margin, decree] of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.” These three kings, in originating, re-affirming, and completing the decree, brought it to the perfection required by the prophecy to mark the beginning
Da 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
Da 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
His own cut Him off as their Messiah after He began His ministry at baptism, 27 AD and ministered 3.5 years and He was cut off, crucified, but that was not of Him nor for Him or His people.
The above weeks brought to view, 7 + 62 weeks = 69 weeks of years. After the 62 which followed the 7 Messiah is cut off. In short Messiah in 69 weeks of years from when the vision is to begin this is a cut off of the 2300 years that would go further on down in time. Plainly put, from the year 457 BC to Messiah the Prince would be 69 weeks of years, 483 years brings us down to year 27 AD He began His Ministry. The years then, 27 AD , 28, 29, - - 30 AD, - - 31, 32, 33 AD would be the years of that 70’th week. He died in the middle of the week, 30 AD, above, ministry cut off and fulfilled exactly the prophecy verse 27 below.
First some scripural advice. -
Hab 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Da 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation 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.
In the middle of the week “sacrifice and the oblation” ceased as the true Lamb of God fulfilled the blood covenant. Verse 10 below “once and for all” from Adam to the last one that comes to Him.
Heb 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Heb 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
Note, BC 457 was a Jubilee year and 10 Jubilees and the gospel went to the Gentiles 34 AD a Jubilee year, a new beginning, Jubilee years are all a new beginning year.
Dan. 9:27 above the New and better covenant was confirmed by Him and His disciples after His death finished that whole 7 years, and then a Jubilee, 34 AD, a new beginning went forth for the Gentiles.
This cannot be denied, anyone who teaches different is a liar and a false teacher.
2Pe 2:1 ¶ But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

Jubilee Calendar Reveals Man's Time Here on Earth
Dear Christians,
More on the Jubilee calendar.
It is really easy to see this is a very accurate way to know the time of man’s habitation of the earth. The book Jubilees reveals, chapter 4 verse 29, 30 that Adam lived through the 19’th Jubilee cycle. That he was 930 years old and we know he was a few months into another year. 19 X49 = 931 and that is when Adam died, in the 931'st year of his life. He lived in a full 19 Jubilee cycles. Then of course the next year, BC 3054 was a Jubilee.
Now if we would just go back one Jubilee cycle in time past BC 3985 which we know was the year of Adam and Eve we would now have the habitation of man here more than 6,000 years already.
Let us now go 81 Jubilees down from BC 3985 and that brings us to BC 16. 3985 - 3969 = 16. Now down 16 more and that ends the BC period and so starting with one again we count up through AD 33 and so the 16 yrs and the 33 years gives us 49. So now we have a total of 82 Jubilees. AD 33 ended Christ's ministry and went to the Gentiles AD 34 a Jubilee a new begining which all Jubilees are.
AD 34 to AD 1994 is 1960 years and exactly 40 Jubilees. The 82 Jubilees to AD 34 and the 40 to 1994 our last Jubilee year makes us 122 Jubilees to 1994 which is 5,978 yrs. We only need 22 years added to 5,978 to make 6,000. Now add that to our last Jubilee yr., 1994 and we get 2016. This cannot miss only plus or minus a year at the most. Also the time is to be shortened for the elect’s sake.
There is a very accurate way of knowing how close to the finish of this reign of sin that man fell to. Here is a url that Glenn Moore shows you the whys and wherefores and there is no doubt about it as he shows you this calendar is in sync with new beginnings here on our planet and that is what this calendar is about, "New Beginnings". Can it be moved from there? Show me if you can.
I invite you to do the math with Glenn Moore.

Jesus Made Salvation Easy
His way is the only way we must know. What puzzles me is why are most following men in a false way that will cost them their free eternal salvation. It is free and is available to every man and woman on this earth and His Way is not galling if you Truly Love Him and Righteousness.
You might say, you sound like there is something wrong somewhere. Yes that is a fact, there is something very wrong.
I call it saved in sin theology that is almost universally taught and received because it is a feel good as you are and just believe and you are saved. Know you not the devils believe and are not saved, you see they were cast out of heaven by Him and Satan and his angels fought against Him and were defeated, you bet they believe.
The term “believe” takes in a deeper meaning here and it means compliance and obedience to the love of righteousness and Truth which He is.
I cover the true way in some of the posts on this blog and some are about prophecy and warning of the nearness of the end of this horrible reign of sin.
We must come to Him and die of our old way of living for self which is the old life and be born again in Him to a new life of love and a will to do His will and love what He loves and the 10 commandments are in our heart and we do them in true love. When we fully surrender all we are to Him, He comes and dwells in us by His Spirit and now overcoming as He overcome the world and all the evil is not only very possible but must be as the over comers only will inherit the eternal life with Him.
Are you spiritually dead? Or are you Spiritually Alive? Choose His way and you are alive.
Eze 18:31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

To Live By The Flesh is Eternal Death, To Live By The Spirit is Eternal Life.
Ro 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
This is in part to point out Paul in no way insinuates the law is abolished or made void.
Ga 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Ga 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Ga 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
While following Christ in faith we are under grace but once back in sin the law is revived to condemn us and later here Paul says “I died“. We want to be dead to sin and obeying the lusts of the flesh but alive in Him in obedience to His law of love now in our hearts. But most today remain under the law because they refuse part of it they don’t like.
Mt 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Mt 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
It isn’t Paul that would make void the law, Rom 3:31 above but some deluded men.
Ro 6:1 ¶ What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Ro 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Ro 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
Ro 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Ro 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
When He abides in us the law is in our hearts by His indwelling Spirit and so obedience becomes our will since we are now dead to sin but alive in Him by His Spirit.
Ro 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
So now the above verse makes it clear that when we deny one of the commandments we are a “servant of sin unto death”. Obedient to another master.
Ro 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
Ro 7:9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
He was alive in sin until the commandments came into his life and condemned his sin and he saw he was dead.
Ro 7:14 ¶ For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Ro 8:26 ¶ Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Ro 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Ro 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. (Rev 12:10 answers down a few verses)
Ro 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Ro 8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
We then are dead to the old man of sin “killed all day long” and must stay with Him and not return to the way of death, “as sheep for the slaughter“. It is born in us a bent on doing sin, carnal as Paul says above. Ro 7:14. So in this life we must continue to make a full and complete surrender to Jesus, Yahshua or we fall back into death. We love Him or we love death!
Pr 8:36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
Re 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. (answers Ro 8:34 above)
Re 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.
Our sin is ever before us as the law is in our hearts and we know we are dead except for Him and His Sacrifice and love for us. Because we are covered with His Blood and righteousness we are no longer condemned.
Ro 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Ro 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Ro 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The Conflict of Our Lives
We are now at a time about as bad and will become worse than the time of the Reformation when many a True and Brave soul stood up for Christ and the Truth and were martyred. False teaching and beliefs have come into the churches of today that is unimaginable. The toleration of error that is fatal to the salvation of their souls is brought in and taught. There is no true peace and safety for the True seeker in the new theologies that flood Christendom.
Again in these last days the True Christian must separate from the error of all the false teachings. Especially this is true of the false gospel of Salvation that is being pushed at all Christians. Yahshua/Jesus made Salvation very easy for all men but this doesn’t please men as they don’t like His Way but cobble a way of their own, saved in sin. His Way is the only Way there ever was and will be. “Church” today is a structure of men’s cobbling and so Christ is not there where error is being taught.
Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. ( In Spirit and in Truth is a must )
Mt 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
True Church can only be had with the Presence of the High and Holy one and where two or three are gathered in His Name. The Holy Spirit is who He is ( Joh 4:24 above ) and the Truth must be the thrust and teaching or He will not be present. ( Spirit and in Truth )( He was God with us in the flesh and now by His Spirit)
Now how many so called church gatherings do you think He is present in today. Don’t fool yourself, let us be counted as more noble as these where of old.
Ac 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
We must heed the call to come out of the apostate churches of today and home church is probably the only other alternative as it was in the days when Christ and the apostles where here. Read Acts and you will see they were home churchers.
R e 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
It is very alarming the indifference in regard to the true doctrines of the Christian Faith today. It is gaining ground that after all that is too legalistic and not of vital importance. The Satanic delusions now are being foisted everywhere in all the denominational churches of today. They are buildings of social gatherings is all they are where error is being taught and are not truly Church at all.
We are in great conflict with the world and the so called churches if we are True followers of Our Saviour and King.
A final note, your prayer does not have to ascend anywhere as He dwells within all who have surrendered all. He is God and He is Spirit. You can talk to him continually in mind and Spirit and He talks to you, do you hear Him? Ask Him to give you ears to hear and eyes to see and He will.
Bro. Gibs
Again in these last days the True Christian must separate from the error of all the false teachings. Especially this is true of the false gospel of Salvation that is being pushed at all Christians. Yahshua/Jesus made Salvation very easy for all men but this doesn’t please men as they don’t like His Way but cobble a way of their own, saved in sin. His Way is the only Way there ever was and will be. “Church” today is a structure of men’s cobbling and so Christ is not there where error is being taught.
Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. ( In Spirit and in Truth is a must )
Mt 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
True Church can only be had with the Presence of the High and Holy one and where two or three are gathered in His Name. The Holy Spirit is who He is ( Joh 4:24 above ) and the Truth must be the thrust and teaching or He will not be present. ( Spirit and in Truth )( He was God with us in the flesh and now by His Spirit)
Now how many so called church gatherings do you think He is present in today. Don’t fool yourself, let us be counted as more noble as these where of old.
Ac 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
We must heed the call to come out of the apostate churches of today and home church is probably the only other alternative as it was in the days when Christ and the apostles where here. Read Acts and you will see they were home churchers.
R e 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
It is very alarming the indifference in regard to the true doctrines of the Christian Faith today. It is gaining ground that after all that is too legalistic and not of vital importance. The Satanic delusions now are being foisted everywhere in all the denominational churches of today. They are buildings of social gatherings is all they are where error is being taught and are not truly Church at all.
We are in great conflict with the world and the so called churches if we are True followers of Our Saviour and King.
A final note, your prayer does not have to ascend anywhere as He dwells within all who have surrendered all. He is God and He is Spirit. You can talk to him continually in mind and Spirit and He talks to you, do you hear Him? Ask Him to give you ears to hear and eyes to see and He will.

DANIEL 8 -- THE LAST END PROPHECY
Da 8:1 ¶ In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.
( after the vision of chap. 7, and to be in context with verses 17, 19, the "last" end part )
Da 8:2 And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.
Da 8:3 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
Da 8:4 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; 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.
Da 8:5 And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
( who else but the USA has come half way round the earth to make war and touches not the ground. Also the he goat is an ornery goat later in this prophecy called a rough goat.)
Da 8:6 And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
Da 8:7 And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler 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.
Da 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.
( That "great" horn is our president and is greater than the ones of each state )
Da 8:9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.
( Watch closely now and we will see who this "little horn" is )
Da 8:10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
Da 8:11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
(The Prince of the host is Yahshua, Jesus, who is ministering the daily for us in the heavenly sanctuary. Satan will soon make himself visible and personate Christ come again, the abomination of desolation, the ultimate transgression takes away the daily by reason of transgression as we read next, Mr 13:14. The Pope doesn't stand up and claim to be Christ as this one will )
Da 8:12 And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
Da 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, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
( Sanctuary, The place in time of worship and the Saints shut out, trodden. )
(“certain saint” is Wonderful,) following is from treasury of scriptural knowledge,
that certain saint. or, the numberer of secrets, or, the wonderful numberer. Heb. Palmoni. Jg 13:18; Isa 9:6; Mt 11:27; Lu 10:22; Joh 1:18.
Mr 13:14 ¶ But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
(He is ask two things, Dan. 8:13, above, how long to the daily and to the transgression of desolation and then the sanctuary and host to be trodden under foot. That time isn‘t to be known yet but He does not leave us in the dark, He tells us when this vision of the time of the end starts and when He will enter and cleanse the sanctuary to start it.)
Lu 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
( The times of the Gentiles began AD 34 when the gospel went to them and now we are near the "times of the Gentiles" to be fulfilled, this vision being for the time of the end )
Re 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
(The last end time prophecy, begins 1844, ends with the consumation )
Da 8:14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
( The date has been determined to be 457 AD the decree to rebuild Jerusalem to start this prophecy and also the seventy wks. of yrs. prophecy, Dan 9: and for Dan. 8 it brings us down to our yr. 1844, The prophecy of Dan. 9: ended 33AD )
(This is the time Yahshua, Jesus enters the heavenly sanctuary to take all the cases beginning with Adam and Eve that have collected there and separates the sheep, saved, from the goats, the lost, and this cleanses the sanctuary. He then continues to be our mediator, our high priest and this is His ministration known as “the daily”. The ultimate transgression takes away this ministry, go back and read Mt 24:15)
Da 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.
Da 8:16 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
Da 8:17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.
Da 8:18 Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.
Da 8:19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.
( How could it be made any clearer this vision is for the time of the end? Of special note is the "indignation" used here. )
(‘indignation” used here is)
Strong's Hebrew Dictionary
2195. za`am
from 2194; strictly froth at the mouth, i.e. (figuratively) fury (especially of God's displeasure with sin):--angry, indignation, rage.
(Dan is told, this is the last end of God’s furious frothing wrath with sin! The time appointed isn‘t to be known and as we saw when Wonderful, Palmoni was asked for the time.)
Da 8:20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.
Da 8:21 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
(Spiritually we, USA, is Grecia)
("first' king means there is under kings, yes each state and etc. )
Da 8:22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power
(A Russian analyst has predicted the USA will be broken up in six divisions and this future history prophecy says four and this is the one that will come to pass.)
Da 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.(note the following verses from Eze , is not this Satan?)
Eze 28:3 Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:
Eze 28:9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
Eze 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Eze 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Eze 28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
Da 8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
Da 8:25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Da 8:26 And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days. ( Yes 2300 yrs. after 457 AD, as days = yrs. for this prophecy ) Da 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.
The correct reckoning of the 2300 yr. prophecy, day = a yr. because all apocalyptic prophecy is by the Jubilee calendar, seven weeks of years = 49 and the Jubilee always falls the first year in the next cycle. It is a recurring week of years as the week of days is recurring days. The fiftieth year always must fall the first year of the next cycle. Jubilees are recurring also, every 49 years and not 50 years.
This prophecy of Dan. 8: and the 2300 days is the last of the year for a day prophecy reckoning and 1844 is the beginning yr. for this prophecy. From that date on to the end is the time of this prophecy as Daniel is told in verse Dan 8:17.

The Extremity of What is Coming Has Never Been Known Before.
Da 12:1 ¶ 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.
Mr 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
Da 8:19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.
"last end of the indignation" is - zah'-am
from 2194; strictly froth at the mouth, i.e. (figuratively) fury (especially of God's displeasure with sin):--angry, indignation, rage.
Yahweh is furiously angry with sin and you may as well know it now than latter, for today is the day of salvation. That time is soon to close for most.
Yahweh says what He means and means what He says. He never changes or His Word so you can trust Him. Could you trust any that keep changing their word and themselves say from vicious to kind, righteous to unrighteous?

How Binding Is It To Keep The Holy Sabbath of God?
Oh how many would like to forget His Royal Law when one would have to throw away the Bible to put it away out of his sight but that is all he could do. -
Why is it Holy? Because Yahweh Hallowed it and so it is Holy. Read, -
Ex 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Ex 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Most defile it by doing all they want to do and not dedicating the time fully to be with our Lord as it is the day he comes to tabernacle with us and all the Holy Heavenly Host.
Ho 4:6 ¶ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Ps 111:7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.Ps 111:8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
Ps 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
"A good understanding have all they that do His commandments" It does take a good understanding to do them all without doubt.
He didn't destroy the law and man cannot no matter how hard he tries, Satan has made that attempt and failed.
Mt 5:17 ¶ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mt 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Mt 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
That law has only been changed to those who do not have a good understanding, refer to verse Ps 111:10 above. It wasn't God who changed the Sabbath to Sunday. It was changed but not to all you see. You must see if God didn't change it, it actually has not been changed. Will you be disobedient for the law of men over the law of God?
Do you really Love Him? He says, - Joh 14:15 ¶ If ye love me, keep my commandments.
Then think about this verse. -
Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Isa 58:13 ¶ If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD,, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
Isa 58:14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
It may be good to realize the promise of the following verse.
Ex 15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
A few thoughts of the importance of keeping the Holy Sabbath.

Mt 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
That law has only been changed to those who do not have a good understanding, refer to verse Ps 111:10 above. It wasn't God who changed the Sabbath to Sunday. It was changed but not to all you see. You must see if God didn't change it, it actually has not been changed. Will you be disobedient for the law of men over the law of God?
Do you really Love Him? He says, - Joh 14:15 ¶ If ye love me, keep my commandments.
Then think about this verse. -
Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Isa 58:13 ¶ If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD,, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
Isa 58:14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
It may be good to realize the promise of the following verse.
Ex 15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
A few thoughts of the importance of keeping the Holy Sabbath.

Why When We Have a More Sure Word of Prophecy
Why is it that no more than a few study and have the proper interpretation of prophecy and any understanding of it?
2 Pe 1:19 ¶ We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
Folks He gave it that you would not be in the dark about future history.
Da 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
I am perplexed that so few take any heed to prophecy when it is a perfect future history of what is to come. It is not discerned by the surface reader or any that don't know much about what the scriptures have to say on most subjects. It also takes the guidance of His Spirit to guide into the truth of what it means which must be what He meant when He gave it and not any man's interpretation.
Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
I can tell you this, we are very close to the finish of sins reign in this old world. You should realize this also if you have His Spirit and studied His prophecy for you. All on earth are short timers now with this age of 6,000 years.
2Ti 3:1 ¶ This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
Can not you see that we are in the very last days, are not perilous times upon us. Yes I know it is going to get much worse and even before another year is up.
It is wake up time for all true Christians, a full surrender is what it is going to take, to fall upon the Rock Jesus and be broken and fully obedient to His will. What does that mean? It's like a horse that is not broke to ride or work yet, it is not much good to it's master. Falling on the Rock, Jesus is making Him your master and your will is completly given to Him. You now obey ALL His commandments and NONE are galling anymore. You are now one He can use and safely take into His Kingdom. You now are willing to be shaped and guided, very malleable to Him.
There really is no excuse for anyone to not know what is coming as that sure word of prophecy has been there for ages and it is opened to be understood for the last days. -
Da 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
No prophecy is understood until it is time and now there is none that is closed up and sealed.
To be forewarned is to be forearmed. Are you?
I may add more later.

Is God, Yahshua Going to Intervene?
Yes and it will be Yahshua our King, read, -
1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
1Co 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
1Co 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
1Co 15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. (The Father only is excepted)
1Co 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. (That the Father may be all in all again, He had given Himself in our Redemer)
The big question is who will He intervene for? It will not be for who most think I’m sure. It will be those who are truly His and do His will and are over comers of the world and Satan and his evil ones. These are those of His Word and not of any other words the world has to offer.
How soon will He intervene? The marvelous working of Satan will come first. Read, -
2Th 2:9 Even him, (That is Christ’s) whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
Oh and some will argue this point, well the verse before this one clarifies it. - - 2Th 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
Now why would the KJV capitalize Wicked? Because the Greek is “anomos” in the negative and means “first lawless one”. Many have made this to be the pope, well not true, work it out for yourself. Actually verse 2Th 2:9 shows clearly it is Satan, you really need no more.
I think you are beginning to see the marvelous working of Satan and his evil agents of men and angels all working together big time now, team players of evil, a one world order whose top leader is Satan. The evil will accelerate fast from here on out.
Yes time is short, a few short years but in horrible stress as we have never seen or thought of.
No one is ready for it and we are admonished, - -
Am 5:15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
Am 5:16 ¶ Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.
Am 5:17 And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD.
Am 5:18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
Am 5:19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
Am 5:20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
There have always been false prophets and false interpretations, only the elect are to know and they do.
Da 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

He Saves Us From Past Sins and Saves Us From Sining Now!
Just a short little study today and this came up in my mind because we had a pastor way back some years that taught no one can keep from sinning. I told him that of ourselves we are no match for Satan but that with Christ actually in us we are to have the victory over the world and Satan. Yes and we can and are expected to. He forgives us and tells us, go sin no more. The verses. -
Joh 8:11
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
1Jo 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is
the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
1Jo 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
Re 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God
Re 2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
Re 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that vercometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a
new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Re 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
Re 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Re 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more
out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
Re 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Re 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Mr 9:23
Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
Mr 10:27
And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
This pastor told us he was stronger than any of us and he couldn't do it so he knew none of us could. He was trying to make the point that we must be saved in sin because no man can refrain from sin. True of ourselves we are nothing to overcome the devil but Christ in us is the victory over the world and Satan and all his angels. Satan and his are then defeated foes and they can see the indwelling Saviour.
The gest of the matter is we must surrender our ALL, nothing held back then He can dwell in us and with His indwelling we can overcome as He overcome. Satan is a defeated foe unless you fall back into the old life which you must abandon forever and don't look back.
This is a very common concept among believers of today that is a lie. We must be overcomers if you claim to be His. Do you really love to do His will and do so. If so then you are one of His.
