The Hidden History of Verse Forty - Number Thirteen

As a primary symbol of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, Peter is standing at Panium in 2026 working to correct the false prediction of July 18, 2020. His work in that regard aligns with the work of Josiah Litch’s correction of August 11, 1840 and Samuel Snow’s identification of October 22, 1844. Litch’s correction empowered the first angel’s message and Snow’s empowered the second angel’s message. The empowerment of the first and second angels’ messages typify the empowerment of the third angel’s message. The characteristics of the first and second are represented in the third as a combination of an external woe message and the internal message of the midnight cry of the parable of the ten virgins.

In a triple application of prophecy, the first and third, which are also the beginning and ending will possess parallel characteristics. Recently, a brother has uncovered several truths associated with the first woe of Revelation nine, which, when applied under the principle of Alpha and Omega identify another profound confirmation of Revelation eleven’s “earthquake.” The Sunday law in the United States is the “earthquake” that was first fulfilled in the French Revolution when France, who was one part of the ten nations that made up the prophetic structure of pagan Rome in the book of Daniel was overthrown. Thus, chapter eleven says a tenth part of the city fell.

Immediately after this verse Islam of the third woe arrives.

The pioneers expected that “the third woe” would immediately follow the second woe, but the word translated as “quickly,” means suddenly and unexpectedly, which is the characteristic of Islam’s surprise attacks. The third woe wasn’t to arrive on October 22, 1844 as the pioneers conjectured, but when it arrived it would happen “suddenly and unexpectedly,” as it did at 9/11, thus marking the beginning of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, which ends shortly before the earthquake of the Sunday law.

The “earthquake” of the Sunday law is the shaking of the “earth” beast, and when 9/11 arrived, Sister White identified that the Lord arose to “shake terribly the earth.” At the beginning of the sealing and the end, the earth beast is shaken, thus the “great earthquake.”

The Lord “arises” when there is a change in His dispensational work, as was the case when Stephen was stoned on October 22, 1844, when the judgment of the dead commenced. When the judgment of the living began on 9/11, the Lord again arose, and then he shook the earth beast, as He will do at the end of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, when He changes His dispensational work from His church to His other flock of those still in Babylon.

What brother Daniel has discovered is the characteristics of the first woe, that align with the testimony of the “great earthquake” of chapter eleven in agreement with history and the pioneer’s understanding of the history that fulfilled the first woe.

The pioneers correctly applied these verses to the history that introduced Mohammed, who was born in 570, unified the tribes in 606, received his first revelation in 610, migrated to Medina in 622, started his warfare in 624 and died in 632. The “bottomless pit” prophetically represents a new manifestation of Satan, but Mohammed began in Arabia, which is also known as the bottomless pit because of the vast deserts.

Mohammed became the prophetic king, or as he was labelled, “the trustworthy one” in 606, when he resolved a dispute among the various tribes who were in a dilemma about who should be allowed to return the “black rock” cornerstone of the Kaaba. The Kaaba is a cube-shaped building (hence the name “Kaaba,” which means “cube” in Arabic) located in the center of the Great Mosque of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. It is approximately 43 feet high, eleven foot wide and 10 foot long, built of granite and marble, with a black silk and cotton cloth covering it. The Kaaba existed long before Muhammad and according to Islamic tradition, it was originally built by Abraham and his son Ishmael as a house of worship for the One God (Allah). Over the centuries, it became filled with idols and was used as a pagan shrine by the Arab tribes.

The Kaaba is the spiritual center of the Islamic world—a simple, ancient building that symbolizes monotheism, unity, and the connection between Abrahamic faith and Islam. Muslims do not consider it “God’s house” in a literal sense, but rather a divinely appointed focal point for worship. Mohammed’s actions during a period when the Kaaba had been destroyed and was then rebuilt are where his leadership began.

A flash flood damaged the Kaaba and the Quraysh tribe rebuilt it. When it came time to place the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad) back in its corner, the different clans quarreled over who should have the honor. They agreed that the next person to enter the area would decide. Muhammad walked in, and he resolved the dispute wisely: He placed the Black Stone on a cloth, had a representative from each clan lift it together, carrying it together, and then he personally set it in place. This event earned him great respect and the title Al-Amin (“the Trustworthy”) among the people of Mecca. It is one of the key pre-prophetic events highlighted in many timelines. The “Black Stone” was the cornerstone that was placed by Mohammed, who is the prophetic king over Islam. The black cornerstone is an obvious counterfeit of Christ (the true cornerstone), and the corruption of the house of Kaaba after years of the introduction of idols was also resolved by Mohammed.

After the Quraysh broke the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, Muhammad marched on Mecca with an army of about 10,000 Muslims. The city surrendered with very little fighting. Muhammad then entered the Kaaba, destroyed the 360 idols inside it, and rededicated the shrine to the worship of the one God (Allah). Thus, Mohammed the king of Islam, laid the cornerstone, and he cleansed the temple of idolatry.

There are three powers that come from the bottomless pit in the book of Revelation, and each of the three represents a counterfeit Christ. Satan, the dragon seeks to be as the Most High, seated on His throne and His church.

The dragon of atheism came from the bottomless pit in Revelation eleven and the beast of Catholicism ascends out of the bottomless pit when her deadly wound is healed.

The beast of Catholicism ascends to the throne of the earth at the Sunday law when the threefold union is put in place. Like unto the dragon, Catholicism claims to be God, as Paul so aptly identified.

Like the dragon, the beast of Catholicism is antichrist, both profess to be God, and both have their final destruction associated with their biblical testimony, for the dragon is brought down to hell, and the beast is the son of perdition. Perdition being final destruction.

Islam, represented by Mohammed in the history of the seventh century also came out of the bottomless pit when the key that was given to Mohammed was turned. When the pit was opened, “smoke” came out that darkened the sun and the air. The pioneers correctly identified that the “key” that opened the pit was the battle of Nineveh.

When we approach the first three verses on Revelation chapter nine from the pioneer understanding in the context of a triple application of prophecy, we find the prophetic characteristics of those verses that represent the first woe, typify the prophetic characteristics of the third woe that arrives “quickly” at the great earthquake. The Sunday law is represented by the battle of Nineveh.

Peter is responsible for correcting the false prediction of the fireballs of Nashville, and he recognizes that the correct application of Ellen White's warning of fireballs upon Nashville marks the beginning of “the destruction of thousands of cities almost fully given to idolatry.”

The fireballs of Nashville mark the beginning of a period of destruction upon the cities, and it also marks the beginning of the proclamation of the short midnight cry message. That message begins with an unexpected attack from Islam and the period ends with an unexpected attack from Islam at the great earthquake. The period of the proclamation of the midnight cry marks the end of the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand which began with the unexpected attack of Islam on 9/11.

The sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand then began in agreement with the line of Balaam and the ass, where there are three strikes that culminate at the Sunday law, but where the second unexpected attack includes October 7, 2023 upon the ancient glorious land and then at the fireballs of Nashville. All the lines agree, and Peter understands that the unsealing of these truths, which are represented as the dirt brush man gathering up the scattered jewels and casting them into the casket is the work of the Lion of the tribe of Judah.

The Lion of Judah identifies Peter’s corrected message of Nashville as occurring in the final period of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand that is represented in the hidden history of verse forty of Daniel eleven, and more specifically in the portion of that hidden history represented in verses eleven through fifteen of the same chapter. In those verses, the battle of Raphia and the battle of Panium lead to the Sunday law of verse sixteen, which is represented by the battle of Actium. When the battle of Panium joins the battle of Actium at the Sunday law, the battle of Nineveh is also repeated.

The “key” given to Mohammed, the king of Islam, whose name is not only the character of Islam, but also the place of the destruction marked by the battle of Nineveh. The king’s name “in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon,” and “in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.” The Greek and Hebrew emphasize the Old and New Testaments and instruct us that Abaddon means “the place of destruction” and Apollyon means “the destroyer.” In verse eleven of Revelation nine the king over Islam is Mohammed, but it is also the “angel of the bottomless pit,” which is Satan. Just as the pope is the antichrist as Satan’s right-hand man on earth, Mohammed is also directly controlled by Satan, the angel of the bottomless pit.

At the Sunday law, the threefold union is forced upon the world and the deadly wound that was delivered to the papacy in 1798, thus marking the end of the Dark Ages is healed. When the deadly wound is healed, the second period of the Dark Ages arrives, and at the great earthquake that is the Sunday law, Islam turns the key and smoke as from a furnace blots out the sun and stars as darkness returns. The battle of Nineveh is repeated at the Sunday law, for it is the key that brings the second period of darkness. There national apostasy is followed by national ruin. There “active despotism” bears full sway, for the smoke of Islam that darkens the sun and stars at the battle of Nineveh is as a burning furnace. The “burning furnace” was an element of God’s covenant with Abraham.

The smoking furnace that passed between Abram’s covenant offerings identified the bondage in Egypt represented in the passage in verse thirteen.

A “burning furnace,” such as Nebuchadnezzar’s furnace in chapter three of Daniel represents bondage and slavery, as was the condition of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

The smoke that darkens the sun and moon when the key of the battle of Nineveh is turned identifies the persecution that begins in earnest at the Sunday law. The persecution of the Dark Ages then is repeated. The pioneers correctly identified that the battle of Nineveh was the “key” that brought Islam into prophetic history as the first woe in 627. The battle was between Rome and Persia, and it represented a victory for Rome, but it was what is called a Pyrrhic victory. A victory that is actually detrimental to the victor. The phrase comes from a victory by king Pyrrhus of Epirus. After two battles against the Romans (Heraclea in 280 BC and Asculum in 279 BC), he defeated the Roman army but lost a huge portion of his own troops. According to legend, he then said, “One more such victory and we are lost.”

The battle of Nineveh was a strategic victory for Rome, but when finished neither Rome or Persia had the power to thereafter effectively resist the onslaught of Islam. Persia is the United States and Rome is the papacy in the modern fulfillment of the battle of Nineveh. Medo-Persia as a two-horned power represent the two-horned power of the United States. At the Sunday law the United States is simply one horn, for leading to the Sunday law the image of the beast has been formed, and that formation consists of combining both horns into one. In Daniel eight, there are two horns representing the Medo-Persian Empire, and the Persian horn came up last.

The United States’ two horns of Republicanism and Protestantism join into one when church and state come together to form the image of the beast. That formation is fully consummated when the mark of the beast is enforced at the Sunday law. This identifies the United States as simply Persia at the Sunday law. Persia was defeated by Rome at the battle of Nineveh. How Rome defeated Persia is of historical significance, because of the maneuvers of Heraclius, the Roman Emperor.

Simply put Heraclius accomplished a surprise attack, as opposed to a straight forward advancing attack. His efforts to accomplish the surprise are noted in history. The surprise included his decision to attack in winter, which was uncommon during those historic times, but it did not stop there. Heraclius started his invasion in mid-September 627 from the north (Armenian highlands). Instead of taking the expected route southward directly toward the Persian capital Ctesiphon, he made a wide arc, moving southeast along the border regions (roughly modern Turkey-Iran border). He then turned south and west, crossing the Great Zab River on December 1, 627. This placed his army on the Nineveh Plateau (east bank of the Tigris River), near the ruins of ancient Nineveh. This movement was from south to north relative to the Persian forces—the opposite of what the Persians anticipated. They expected him to continue pushing south toward Ctesiphon. It caught the Persian commander Rhahzadh off guard and forced him to chase Heraclius into unfavorable terrain. It allowed the Romans to choose the battlefield on the plains near Nineveh. The maneuver prevented the Romans from being trapped between Persian forces and gave them an escape route if needed. Combined with the fog on the day of battle and a feigned retreat tactic during the actual fighting, there were multiple layers of surprise. This bold winter invasion and flanking route deep into Persian territory is considered one of Heraclius’s greatest military achievements. It helped shatter Persian confidence and contributed heavily to the eventual Roman victory in the long war.

The battle of Nineveh represents modern Rome conquering the United States at the Sunday law, but it is a pyrrhic victory, for a progressive judgment upon Rome begins at the Sunday law.

Chosroes, was the head of the Persian empire, so Persia representing the United States’ fall at the Sunday law is the key that opens the bottomless pit at the fall of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. It represents the Sunday law of verses sixteen, thirty-one, and forty-one of Daniel eleven, as well as, Revelation thirteen verse eleven.

Notice the pioneer Stephen Haskell’s comments on the same verses and history:

That barrier wall in Rome’s history is the wall of separation of church and state that is removed at the Sunday law. There is another layer to the pyrrhic victory of Rome over Persia in the battle of Nineveh, for there was a previous battle of Nineveh, representing an Alpha and the battle of 627 representing the Omega. The battle was in 612 BC, roughly twelve hundred years apart. In that battle Assyria was defeated by a threefold confederacy and marked the end of the Assyrian Empire.

A. T. Jones comments on the alpha battle of Nineveh:

In the alpha battle of Nineveh of 612 BC, the Assyrian Empire came to an end, just as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy ends at the Sunday law. The victor in the battle was a threefold union of Babylon, Egypt and Media. In the warfare of that period King Josiah dies at Megiddo, thus typifying Armageddon. In the omega battle of Nineveh in 627, Islam of the third woe is released as the wall of protection in the Constitution is removed as typified, as Haskell noted of Persia as the “barrier wall” of protection being removed with the defeat of Persia. King Josiah’s death at Megiddo identifies the first battle of Nineveh as being the second battle in the last days. The last of the two battles of Nineveh in 627, when the key is turned and the pit is opened is the first in the last days, for the first will be last. The first battle of Nineveh between Assyria and the threefold union leads to Armageddon. The period of the second Dark Ages begins with the battle of Nineveh and ends with the battle of Nineveh.

The facts of the fifth trumpet which is the first woe of Revelation chapter nine is what the pioneers understood to be the clearest historical witness of any passage in the book of Revelation. Uriah Smith expresses that fact as follows:

Peter is at Panium with the responsibility to correct the message of the fireballs of Nashville, and it is seen for the first time that the elements of the first woe perfectly align with the elements of the soon-coming Sunday law. The Lion of the tribe of Judah unsealed this understanding in agreement with other lines of prophecy that He had already put in place. The historians will testify to the significance of the surprise attack accomplished by Rome upon the Persians in 627, and when they do so, they noted Heraclius’ maneuvering around and behind Persia in the winter time as a ploy to keep hidden until the time of the attack.

Sister White informs us that Rome is simply waiting for “vantage ground,” and then she will strike.

As with the Emperor Heraclius, the papacy has been moving toward her goal “stealthily and unexpectedly” in fulfillment of Isaiah chapter twenty-three, where the whore of Tyre is forgotten for the history of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. The secret surprise attack of Heraclius is the world forgetting the papacy from 1798 unto the Sunday law. Line upon line the first woe represents the third and last woe. In the first woe a pronouncement is made that also aligns with the history of Islam and the period of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Before the key is turned at the battle of Nineveh, which is the soon-coming Sunday law the one hundred and forty-four thousand are already sealed. At the Sunday law the destruction of the cities which is initiated with the fireballs of Nashville is represented as a period of “five months,” when warfare rages and the second papal blood bath is initiated in fulfillment of the answer given to the martyrs of the Dark Ages in the fifth seal.

The martyrs of the Dark Ages are the first group that typify the martyrs of Modern Rome during the Sunday law crisis. Before that crisis arrives the one hundred and forty-four thousand are sealed, and that sealing process began at 9/11 with the arrival of Islam of the third woe, and the sprinkling of the latter rain. When the martyrs of the first Dark Ages asked when the papacy would be judged, they were told there will be a second group of martyrs when the Dark Ages are repeated, which is when the key of the battle of Nineveh is fulfilled at the soon-coming Sunday law. Before the second group of martyrs are made up the one hundred and forty-four thousand are sealed, and the period of the sealing that began on 9/11 is identified in the fifth seal, for the conversation there set forth is found in Revelation chapter six, verses NINE through ELEVEN, thus marking the beginning and ending of the sealing with 9/11. The ending introduces the destruction of Islam as set forth in Revelation NINE, ELEVEN, and those who are sealed will have fulfilled the experience of Daniel represented in Daniel NINE, ELEVEN.

We will continue these things in the next article.
