Daniel 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.


When Michael stands up (Jesus), probation ends because He has had enough of the abominations and persecutions of His people.  Then, the great tribulation begins and His people will be delivered (144,000).


The point here is that no one knows when Michael will stand up (and then begin to leave the Sanctuary in Heaven).  So, I’m not setting any time here because no human being knows this!
2: And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. This will be the great multitude  that are sleeping in Christ waiting for him and there is reference to the special resurrection of the wicked that persecuted Christ at his crucifixion. 
3: And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. The living saints will shine and be changed and be like angels and have everlasting life.
4: But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. This is going on right now just look out your window!
5: Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
6: And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? Daniel asks a question of how long?
7: And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. Most SDA already know that time, times and a half of time refers to 1260 days.  Time = 360 days,  times= 360 times 2, and half of time is 180.  ( The Jewish year was 360 days.) Daniel says that he heard but he didn’t understand.
8: And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? This is crucial!  Earlier in Daniel, he understood what the 1260 days meant but all of a sudden now he doesn’t get it.  Why?  Now, the time has changed to be 1260 literal days instead of day for a year.  That 1260 days is now 3 ˝ years.
9: And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
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.
This is the 144,000 that will be purified and made white and tired in the fire or the 3rd baptism and they will understand.
11: And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. The abomination of desolation will be the Sunday law in effect.  From the time it is put into law and when it is strickly enforced will be 3 ˝ years.  Then the 1,290 days will be when Christ will stand up and probation will end.  There will be 30 days of extreme persecution of the saints during this time and also a great outpouring of the latter rain.  When Jesus stands and those that are still alive at this point will be sealed with righteousness and will be translated when Jesus comes in the clouds. Rev:1315: 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 government will “speaketh” by making a law and when they “cause” it to go into effect, saints will be persecuted. 
 12: Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. From 1290 to 1335 days is 45 days.  The living saints now righteous and sealed will go through the great tribulation that will last for 45 days.  This is when the plagues will be poured out on the earth.
13: But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. This is speaking of the end of the 1335 days.


 


The main point here is that for this time period there is no particular starting time so no one but God knows when this will start. And, no one knows but God when Michael will stand up. But, once it does start, we can know the sequence of events. God will reveal these events to his saints.

Newbie please allow me to fine tune you execellent post, these are your words.
"From the time it is put into law and when it is strickly enforced will be 3 ˝ years. Then the 1,290 days will be when Christ will stand up and probation will end. There will be 30 days of extreme persecution of the saints during this time and also a great outpouring of the latter rain. When Jesus stands and those that are still alive at this point will be sealed with righteousness and will be translated when Jesus comes in the clouds. Rev:1315: 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 government will “speaketh” by making a law and when they “cause” it to go into effect, saints will be persecuted."
=======================
Jesus standing up in Daniel 12 is the close of probation!!! But He stands up 30 days before the 1290 day!! The 1290 th day is "THE END OF TIME" TM 114-115. The 7 last plagues commence the very moment probation closes. The living saints are numbered and sealed "one hundred forty-four thousand in number" [EW 15] just prior to Jesus standing up. The 1290 day is when the Father speaks from heaven during the 7th Trumpet/Plague saying "IT IS DONE". 45 days later with the living saints all receiving glorified bodies by the Father when He spoke from heaven they will know EXACTLY WHEN Jesus returns because the Father has just told them. The 1335 th day is when Jesus is seen in the clouds to raise all the righteous dead from all ages, saying "awake, awake, AWAKE ye that sleep in the dust". This is when Daniel will come to life because the Life Giver promised to raise him then after he has rested in the grave for 2500 years.
Jachob's trouble last three and one-half days and ends on the 1290 th day when the Father glorifies them.
Adventist will always be like a fish out of the water in understanding this end of the world chapter [Daniel 12] UNTIL they study Daniel !2 with Revelation 10 & 11.

Ed,


I'm glad you are at least in agreement with most of the post.  I too have wondered about the 1260 and 1290.  Where does the 30 day period fall?  Is it before probation ends or after?  Right now, I believe it is before.  I also believe that this is the time when the latter rains pours out and many saints will be put to death during the Loud Cry.  No one will be put to death after probation ends as the saints will be sealed.   Jesus (Michael) stands up basically to say "enough is enough" and then his 144,000 are sealed and ready to go through the 7 last plagues.... 


I might be wrong but this is where I see it today.  I'm still investigating it and looking for more details in my readings.  I'm also looking for more information regarding the "daily" will be taken away.  I'm trying desperately to get more evidence as to what this is referring to.  Some have disagreed strongly with what I had posted so I'm trying to convince them with the evidence.  Did you read all the posts?  Did you see the post by Zeal where he said something like "where ever Ed is I'll bet he is chopping at the bit."  Most people thought that you were working through me with this Daniel post.  Now, this is proof in that you don't agree with all of it.


The Great Tribulation or Jacob's Time of Trouble I had always believed to be the same thing.  I have put those with the plagues and the last 45 days.


The main trouble people have with my post is the literal day time reference and they also believe that I am setting a time prophecy. 


I think I explained the "day" if you go back to the original Hebrew.  It is a literal day.  Since we don't know when exactly the 1260 begins or when Michael will stand up it can't be a specific time prophecy. 


This last test will be on the day of worship and the commandments of God.  It will be the 3rd angels message that is based on the precursers of the 1st and 2nd angel's message.

After Doug Batchelor came out of the closet concerning Daniel 12 the week that Daniel 12 was being considered by "the church" SS Quarterly, I made a recording "Examining the teachings of Doug Batchelor on Daniel 12" It is easy to find this CD & listen to online of where I cover all the bases on this subject. Just use any search engine with a few of the above words in quote marks. Do you realize with him placing Daniel 12 in the future he was going against church authority, why this is open rebellion against the church is is bringing thousands into. How do you figgure all this out? Maybe you need to hear my CD "Evangelism in a Can" that can be found somewhere the same way, where I not only identify the problem, but also the solution.

Ed,  I'm only aware of Doug's views on the 144K and I don't agree with all he says about it.  I do agree however that it is a literal number.


I agree with his 1 hr 1 hr and 1 hr (fall of Babylon in Rev.) and 45 days of the Great Tribulation.  It goes along with the 45 days between 1290 and 1335.


Yes, I am aware that it goes against the Uriah Smith Daniel to Revelation that the SDA church has accepted as truth. 


But, they have not read the fine print where EGW says that.....


From early SDA: Broadside #2 1849/01/31: I saw that Michael had not stood up, and that the time of trouble, such as never was, had not yet commenced.


 


I'm not against the church.  I love the church.  But, I think there is more to this than what they have acknowleged.

Newbie for you to agree with Doug Batchelor on the "one/hour/onehour/onehour" being 45 days shows that both of you have stepped off the platform of truth by applying the "day for a year rule" after 1844. The SOP he professes to believe in states [in our mother tongue English] that he is sadly mistaken, as “prophetic time closed in 1844” EW 243
Or look up a few of these words found on page 972 of 7A “the longest reckoning of prophetic time reaches to the autumn of 1844, after this there can be no definite reckoning of prophetic time”. If you had only listen closely to his words in his attempt to explain Daniel 12, you would have heard him say this thought came from another mortal. See right there is were we differ, I follow the KJV & the SOP
About you loving the church! What makes you think I don’t, is it just because other surface readers have suggested this when I provide a thus sayeth the Lord to every point I make against their leaning on man study guides? I attended the school every day the teacher wrote on the blackboard after she told me to stop pulling the ponytail of the girl in front of me these words. “A thus sayeth the Lord is not to be set aside for a thus sayeth the CHURCH or state.” SOP
Doug Batchelor has the 7 last plagues lasting 45 days AFTER the Father has raised the dead and told the living saints the “day and hour” when Jesus will return. Sorry Doug! Nice try, but all wrong as my CD to you stated months ago. Come out of that deception you are teaching, there is a new generation of children you are leading astray.

I also think he is wrong about the timing of the raising of the saints.

Now that is the most intelligent decision I have seen made all day...

Satan's Crowning Act prior to Dan12
Permalink   



Dear Bros & Sis in Christ


While you topic is one of the most interesting puzzles of end-time prophecy.  There is some significant events that occur prior to Dan 11 & 12 and Rev 13 to 16.  The ultimate deception of Satan is when he comes and impersonates Jesus, with all sorts of counterfeit miracles and signs and wonders (to deceive the very elect as we are warned in the Bible).  Closer look at Ellen Whites writings all point to a rise of spiritualism and the state of the dead.  Since Jesus has been given the keys/authority of death and hades from the Father shortly after the cross it is Satan's deception to mock the very government of God by any means.  Firstly Satan makes the world drunk and at first you are probably not even aware of it, little compromises, like a movie with a person such as the Matrix or Star Wars with extraordinary powers that sucks you in.  Then Satan plays his next card Buffy and the (evil) Angel followed by his latest offering Ghost Whisper.


Then after people have accepted the likes above go down to their friend church and there is statures there that bleed or some other apperition.  This sort of delusion is growing faster that you can say Coke A Cola.


Remember, Watch and beware least you fall into temptation. For the Spirit is Willing but the flesh is weak.

2 Thessalonians (Chapt2:1-12)


Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by some prophecy, report or letter supposed to have come from us, saying that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.


5 Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 10 and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.


.............................................................................


 


The Great Controversey (1911) p.624


    Fearful sights of a supernatural character will soon be revealed in the heavens, in token of the power of miracle-working demons. The spirits of devils will go forth to the kings of the earth and to the whole world, to fasten them in deception, and urge them on to unite with Satan in his last struggle against the government of heaven. By these agencies, rulers and subjects will be alike deceived. Persons will arise pretending to be Christ Himself, and claiming the title and worship which belong to the world's Redeemer. They will perform wonderful miracles of healing and will profess to have revelations from heaven contradicting the testimony of the Scriptures.  {GC 624.1}
     As the crowning act in the great drama of deception, Satan himself will personate Christ. The church has long professed to look to the Saviour's advent as the consummation of her hopes. Now the great deceiver will make it appear that Christ has come. In different parts of the earth, Satan will manifest himself among men as a majestic being of dazzling brightness, resembling the description of the Son of God given by John in the Revelation. Revelation 1:13-15. The glory that surrounds him is unsurpassed by anything that mortal eyes have yet beheld. The shout of triumph rings out upon the air: "Christ has come! Christ has come!" The people prostrate themselves in adoration before him, while he lifts up his hands and pronounces a blessing upon them, as Christ blessed His disciples when He was upon the earth. His voice is soft and subdued, yet full of melody. In gentle, compassionate tones he presents some of the same gracious, heavenly truths which the Saviour uttered; he heals the diseases of the people, and then, in his assumed character of Christ, he claims to have changed the Sabbath to Sunday, and commands all to hallow the day which he has blessed. He declares that those who persist in keeping holy the seventh day are blaspheming his name by refusing to listen to his angels sent to them with light and truth. This is the strong, almost overmastering delusion.

Yes, Jeffrey the first Christ to show himself in the sky will be Satan and he will fool the world.  They will all follow him thinking that the is Christ.  Christ's feet will not touch the ground but this first false one will and he will deceive many even the most elect.

An issue regarding Daniel chapter 11 and Revelation 13 I wanted to raise is: an image to the beast.  For years I have always believed that these verses are one in the same, what do you think?

Daniel 11:38-39


38"But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things. 39"Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain.


 


Revelation 13:13:16


13He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,

I could not find that reference but I read a wealth of what else was there.  The people that set up the site refer to Jesus as a prophet.  They also believe that Dan 11 is referring to what is going on in the middle east today.  Those references for our time are symbolic.  Sorry, I can't agree with much of what was stated there.

lightbearer.org, by Herb Montgomery, i thot used to be straight on most SDA doctrine, but a quick look at his site now makes me agree with newbie.  So sad to see him dissing Jesus as something less than GOD.

Friends.


I believe you would be greatly enlightened if you would go to www.wake-up.org and start reading what is there under "Articles" starting with the one in November 1995 and don't stop reading until you have come to this present day before making a judgement. I believe you are looking for Truth and with an open mind, you can make great advancements in God's word. I believe with much of what you are saying, but not all.  This web site will help fine tune what you know and believe and it will help (as it did me and my family) to arrive at greater and present truths.

I looked at the site and his charts.  I agree with a lot of what he has and it is easy to grasp what he believes when looking at the charts. 


The big problem I have is that he has the great Tribulation going on the same time as the Loud Cry.  He needs to read the 1858 GC on this site.  And, he has the Great Trib. lasting way too long.  Even the Bible says less than a year.

Howard-san, Thank you for that web site url.  Many things being taught there are i believe excellent truths, new light, that the people of the end time need to study.  I would say i agree with 80% of it, with the core teaching - that many things in Revelation are still future - is absolutely correct.


You know what, we need to call a conference of people around the world who are studying the prophecies in this vein, and in the power and leading of the Holy Spirit, come to a better understanding of the end-time events.

You guys carry on a good conversation. My wife and I just finished watching the Doug B. video in question and he puts the resurrection "AT THE END" of the forty-five days. Not before as both of you seem to indicate.....this makes a big difference in your comments. I have not made up my mind yet regarding this matter, however, he offers some very good quotes by Ellen White, especially the one where she did not wish to cause a disturbance in the SDA Church at that time by disagreeing with Uriah Smith; but would allow people near the end of time to learn further truth regarding the days in question.

The following post may be beneficial to the discussion here. It contains an analysis of Doug Batchelors comment and also the video link to the explanation of his view. (Which he may have abandoned by now).

See Endnote #4 in this blog post on the Ministry of David Gates which also (had?) subscribed to a belief in end time, day-year prophetic time: http://njkproject.blogspot.com/2009/11/ministry-of-david-gates.html
