The Book of Daniel - Number One-Hundred and Thirty-One

In previous articles we identified that the Millerites recognized that they were fulfilling the parable of the ten virgins, Habakkuk chapter two and Ezekiel chapter twelve, verses twenty-one through twenty-eight. The verses in Ezekiel identify that when these three prophetic passages are perfectly fulfilled in the last days, “the effect of every vision” will be fulfilled. Sister White also addresses this phenomenon.

The parable of the ten virgins is repeated to the very letter in the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, which began on September 11, 2001 and ends when the door is closed upon the foolish virgins at the soon-coming Sunday law. In that period of history the effect of every vision represented in “all the books of the Bible meet and end.”

We have been building a platform of understanding in the previous article to set forth the external line of history that is represented in verse forty of Daniel eleven, which represents the political history of the earth beast’s Republican horn. That history runs parallel with the religious history of the earth beast’s true Protestant horn. We have identified a handful of prophetic lines which address the Republican horn of the earth beast, and are placing those lines upon the prophetic history that began at the time of the end in 1989.

The prophetic period of the earth beast that began in 1776, and concluded at the time of the end in 1798, is the line we intend to employ in an attempt to bring all of the lines which are now having their effect together. The period of 1776 to 1798 possesses the signature of Alpha and Omega, for it begins and ends with a legislative action, which is the speaking of a nation.

A primary characteristic of the earth beast is its speaking. The Constitution of the United States was a divine document that opened the doors for religious and political freedom, and in so doing swallowed the “flood” of persecution that had been carried on for centuries by the kings of Europe and the Catholic church.

At the end of the earth beast’s reign as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy it will again speak, but then it will speak as a dragon, by enforcing the Sunday law.

The earth beast began as the sixth kingdom in 1798, when the papacy was robbed of its strength.

In 1798, when the papacy received its deadly wound, the United States spoke, and as is always the case with Alpha and Omega, the speaking at the beginning prefigured the speaking at the end. The Alien and Sedition Acts were spoken into law in 1798, prefiguring the laws that are implemented at the end addressing illegal immigration, and the media.

The period we are considering from 1776 to 1798 possesses the signature of Alpha and Omega, for it identifies the “speaking” of the Declaration of Independence in the beginning, which typifies the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798. In the middle of that period, you find the Constitution of the United States. The period provides a prophetic representation of the earth beast’s reign, for it begins speaking as a lamb, but the period ends with legislation representing a dragon. But as is often the case the beginning and ending of a thing align with opposites. The first waymark of the period is represented in the last waymark, and the middle waymark was the Constitution of the United States, which was ratified by THIRTEEN states. The Hebrew word “truth” was created by the first letter, followed by the thirteenth letter, followed by the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

The period we are now considering bears the signature of the First and the Last, who is the Truth. The period represents a period that leads to the beginning of the earth beast’s reign as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy, and it therefore represents a period that leads to the end of the earth beast’s reign as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. That period began at the time of the end in 1989. 1776 to 1798 is to be laid upon 1989 to the soon coming Sunday law when the earth beast speaks as a dragon, as represented by the Alien and Sedition Acts.

It is worthwhile to place another prophetic truth into our study. That truth is an element of the “time of the end” as a symbol that is often overlooked. Laodicean Adventism may very well know that 1798 was the “time of the end,” but their understanding generally ends there, for they have no clue that every reform line parallels the other reform lines. Every reform line begins with the “time of the end.”

Moses typified Christ, and Moses directly stated that fact, and Peter confirmed it in the book of Acts.

Jesus was to be “like unto” Moses.

The time of the end in the history of Moses was his birth, and it typified the birth of Christ. At the births of both Christ and of Moses there was an increase of knowledge that would test that generation. The knowledge of both their births led both the dragon power of Egypt and of Rome to attempt to kill the promised ones of prophecy. The shepherds on the hills, the wise men from the east represent those who understood the increase of knowledge at the time of the end.

What is commonly missed is that there are two waymarks in the time of the end. It was not only Moses that was born, but three years prior his brother Aaron was born. Six months before Christ was born his cousin John was born. 1798 is the most common recognition of the “time of the end,” and in 1798 the beast (the political apparatus) (the whore) had ridden upon through the Dark Ages was killed, and a year later the “woman” who had ridden that beast also died.

In 1989 there were two presidents. Reagan ruled until the inauguration in 1989, and then Bush the first began his reign. The end of the twelve hundred and sixty years had been typified by the seventy years of captivity in Babylon, and when General Cyrus, the nephew of Darius, executed Belshazzar on the night of the feast, Darius was the actual king. Darius and Cyrus represent the two waymarks of that time of the end.

The prophetic relationship between Moses and Aaron, John and Jesus, Darius and Cyrus, the papacy and the pope and Reagan and Bush are all sources of prophetic light when studied with the correct methodology. What we would point to here is that John, Jesus’ cousin, was the voice in the wilderness, which had been typified by Moses’ brother Aaron, who travelled into the wilderness to meet Moses, in order to be his voice.

In the thirty-year period preceding Christ’s anointing, and for the thirty years preceding the antichrist, there is a waymark identifying a “voice.” For Christ it was the voice of John crying in the wilderness. In 533 Justinian made a decree identifying the antichrist as the corrector of heretics and the head of the church. Justinian’s decree was the “voice” that prepared for the Sunday law “decree” at the Council of Orleans in 538.

General Cyrus’ army was the voice identifying that Darius’ conquering of Babylon was imminent.

When it is recognized that it is two witnesses or two waymarks by which a prophetic “time of the end,” is established, it can also be recognized that one of the two waymarks represents an identification, announcement or warning of the approaching history. Aaron, John, Cyrus, and Justinian represent a waymark that precedes the time of the end. The time of the end in 1798 is the end of the period represented from 1776 through to 1798. The waymark in the middle of that history is the voice crying in the wilderness for the approaching history. That history began with a publication rejecting the dictatorial rule of either a king or pope, and it ended with a publication representing the character of a dictator. The publication in the middle represented the “warning” of the coming history, and the warning was that the Constitution of the United States would be overturned at the end of the history.

That line of history began to be repeated in 1989, and it ends at the Sunday law when the warning from the wilderness two hundred years earlier in 1789 is rejected. 1989 was the time of the end at the end of verse forty, and it aligns with the time of the end in 1798. 1989 aligns with 1776, and the Sunday law represents 1798. In the middle of the history where the effect of every vision is accomplished, the history that began on September 11, 2001, and continues until the warning of 1789, is fulfilled and the Constitution is overturned. There must be a waymark in the middle, for God never changes. That waymark would represent a warning for the prophetic history that begins at the soon-coming Sunday law.

1989 marks the time of the end in verse forty that leads to the Sunday law in verse forty-one. The warning message that arrived after the time of the end, but before the Sunday law was September 11, 2001. It warns that at the conclusion of that period of history, the third Woe that arrived on September 11, 2001, and was immediately restrained, would strike again as an unexpected surprise, and thousands of cities would be destroyed. When that destruction arrives Satan would begin his marvelous work, and that work begins at the soon coming Sunday law.

The warning that was typified by the introduction of the Constitution in 1789, is the warning of the third angel, which returns to the second Kadesh, when the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand begins. That warning is the warning of the first voice of Revelation chapter eighteen, and not only did the great buildings of New York City come down at that time, but the very essence of the Constitution was changed. The Constitution was written and based upon English law, whose basic philosophy can be simply defined as “a person is innocent, until proven guilty.” The Constitution was written for the purpose of rejecting what is known as Roman law, whose basic philosophy can be simply defined as “a person is guilty, until proven innocent.”

The warning from the wilderness in 1789, represented by the Constitution, represents the warning of September 11, 2001, and not only did the burning buildings mark that history with a literal fulfillment, but the passage (speaking) of the Patriot Act also represented the warning.

The Patriot Act (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001) was introduced in the United States Congress shortly after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on October 23, 2001, and in the Senate on October 24, 2001. It was signed into law by President George W. Bush on October 26, 2001. The Patriot Act aimed to enhance the government’s ability to investigate and prevent acts of terrorism and expand surveillance and law enforcement powers, and it rejected the basic and fundamental principle of English law that identifies that a man is innocent, until proven guilty. It is still used today by the elite within the government to circumvent due process of law, privacy and fair trials.
