The Book of Daniel - Number One-Hundred and Ninety-Eight

We are placing the line of the papacy, the line of apostate Republicanism, the line of apostate Protestantism, and the line of the one hundred and forty-four thousand into the hidden history of verse forty of Daniel chapter eleven. We are currently addressing that Christ gathers His people twice, and all the illustrations of gathering His people a second time represent the final sealing process of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

When the divine symbol descends in a reform line the Lord then gathers a chosen people, who are thereafter tested. At the conclusion of the testing process there is a scattering, that is followed by His gathering those chosen people a second time, though many are left behind for failing the testing process. Christ began gathering His disciples at His baptism, and at the cross the disciples were scattered. After His resurrection He gathered His disciples a second time in advance of Pentecost. This line identified that a second gathering is accomplished upon the one hundred and forty-four thousand just before the Sunday law, which is typified by Pentecost. The cross identifies a disappointment, followed by a second gathering.

The second gathering after the cross began when Christ descended from meeting with His Father after His resurrection. When the divine symbol descends God’s people are to eat the message, and after Christ descended, He ate with the disciples.

At the second gathering after the cross Christ “breathed” the Holy Spirit upon His disciples.

In the second gathering after the disappointment of April 19, 1844, Christ removed His hand from the mistake of 1843.

At the disappointment the second angel descended with a “writing in his hand.”

The testing process that began with the arrival of the second angel, concluded at the Exeter camp meeting when the Holy Spirit was poured out and the message went like a tidal wave. That testing process was distinctly identified after the cross when the time period unto the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost was preceded by a period of fifty days, that was in turn made up of a period of forty days, followed by a period of ten days which concluded at Pentecost.

During the forty days, Christ was in attendance teaching the disciples, and then He ascended. The ten days that followed was a period of preparation in advance of the Pentecostal outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The forty days of instruction that followed the cross aligns with April 19, 1844 unto the beginning of the Exeter camp meeting on August 12, 1844. The ten days which preceded Pentecost represented August 12 through 17, 1844, when the Millerites unified upon the message of the Midnight Cry brought by Samuel Snow. In that camp meeting two classes were manifested, and only one class received the Pentecostal outpouring at the conclusion of the meeting. In that period represented by the forty days one class received the instruction, and the other class refused the instruction. When the Midnight Cry arrived one class had the oil, the other did not.

During the ten days leading to Pentecost, and the period of the Exeter camp meeting, Christ gathered His people a second time in advance of those people carrying His message to the world. When the third angel descended on October 22, 1844, the little flock was again disappointed and scattered, but a period of instruction began on October 22, 1844 as Christ led His people into the Most Holy Place. In 1849, the Lord stretched forth His hand a second time to gather again those whom He had gathered out of the disappointments of April 19 and October 22, 1844.

In 1844, the instruction was in regards to the message which the third angel had in his hand when he descended, but in the “period of doubt and uncertainty” that followed the great disappointment, many lost their way. By 1849, the work of gathering the little scattered flock was initiated, but what was illustrated by that history was the defeat of 1863, and the first Kadesh for modern Israel. The future victory of the one hundred and forty-four thousand and their work at the second Kadesh was delayed.

When the Lord descended on September 11, 2001 He gathered His last-day people, gave them His spiritual food to eat, breathed His Spirit upon those people as He began to sprinkle the latter rain, and He also initiated a testing process that led to July 18, 2020, when His last day people were disappointed and scattered. For three and a half days they were dead in the street. Both the three and a half days, and the forty-day period in the time of Christ represent a wilderness. It is also represented by the period from April 19, 1844 unto August 12, 1844, and also the period from October 22, 1844 unto 1849.

From July, 2023 unto the Sunday law, which is the ten days that preceded Pentecost, the camp meeting at Exeter from August 12 unto August 17, and the period from 1849 unto 1863, all align with one another. They represent the period of the second gathering of God’s last-day people. The period from the disappointment to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is divided into two distinct periods.

Within the hidden history of verse forty of Daniel chapter eleven the line of apostate Protestantism (the nominal church), the line of Laodicean Seventh-day Adventism (nominal Adventism), the line of Catholicism, and the line of true Protestantism are all represented. Those four lines illustrate true Protestantism in controversy with a threefold union of the dragon (Judas), the beast (Catholicism) and the false prophet (apostate Protestantism).

Within the very same hidden history the line of apostate Republicanism is also illustrated. Within that line a controversy between the Democrat (the dragon) and Republican parties (the image of the beast) is represented. The Republican party is to lead out in forming the image to the beast, and in so doing it manifests the prophetic characteristics of the beast (the papacy). In God’s Word the papacy, who is the king of the north and also the beast, is given Egypt, (the dragon) as payment for services rendered for being used by God’s as a tool of judgment.

Nebuchadnezzar, who is the king of the north in the passage, is given the land of Egypt as his wages, thus typifying that in the last days, the papacy is given Egypt, which is the dragon, which is the ten kings, the United Nations, who agree to give their seventh kingdom unto the beast for a short space.

This prophetic payment is represented also in Daniel chapter eleven verse forty-two.

The papacy prevails over the dragon power in the time of the latter rain, for this payment is accomplished “in” the “day” when God “causes the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth.” It is the rain that causes the Israel of God to bud forth, and that day began on September 11, 2001, which was the day of the east wind.

Egypt is given to the papal beast when the latter rain is being poured out. The latter rain began to sprinkle when the east wind, representing Islam of the third woe was “stayed,” or restrained on September 11, 2001. Then the rain began to be measured, (sprinkled) upon Israel as they began to bud. At the Sunday law, when the third woe comes again, the latter rain is poured out without measure. Between September 11, 2001 and the soon coming Sunday law “the iniquity of Jacob” is purged, and the Hebrew word “purged” means “atoned for”. At the Sunday law the papal beast is given Egypt (the dragon), as those ten kings commit fornication with the papacy by forming a worldwide image of the beast.

Before the Sunday law, during the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, the apostate Republican horn forms an image to the beast with the apostate Protestant horn, and in that prophetic line the Republican party prevails over the Democratic party, for the Democratic party is a dragon power and the Republican party is the power who forms the image of the papacy.

Within the prophetic history of the earth beast the end of the Democratic party and the end of the Republican party is identified. Those two parties form the horn of Republicanism, but they identify an internal struggle that runs through the entire history of the earth beast. That horn (Republican) contains an internal microcosm of the two horns of the earth beast.

In the testimony of the kingdom of the Medes and Persians it was the last horn that came up higher, and the Democratic party began first in American history, but at the end the Republican party comes up higher and prevails over the Democrats. In the history of the latter rain, which began on September 11, 2001, the globalist, dragon-inspired Democrats rose up out of the bottomless pit of Revelation chapter eleven and slew the Republicans by stealing the 2020 election. Their war against Trump (and the Republicans) began when he announced his candidacy in 2015, and it only intensified from that point onward.

When the Democrats stole the election in 2020, they then instituted the Pelosi Trials, but when Trump announced his third campaign in 2022, fear came upon the Democrats, and their rage only increased, and they then came against Trump and his supporters with great wrath, for they knew their time was short. They celebrated his death, but when he stood up, great fear fell upon them.

The period that identifies the end of the Democratic party is from the inauguration of Biden in 2021 unto the inauguration of Trump in 2025. The period began with the Pelosi Trials, which were purely unconstitutional and totally political in nature. That history, representing the death of the sixth president since the time of the end in 1989 unto the eighth president that is of the seven began with political trials (the Pelosi Trials), and it ends with the death of the Democratic party, and a second set of Pelosi Trials, as the political targets are reversed.

The illustration of the history is located in chapter eleven of Revelation, which found its first fulfillment in the French Revolution. The French Revolution is the classic historical example of the guillotine type of political warfare that identifies one ruling party killing another, and then having that very same ruling power overthrown and persecuted themselves.

The period from the inauguration of Biden and the Pelosi Trials, unto the second inauguration of Trump and the reversal of the Pelosi Trials identifies the end of the Democratic party, and it identifies when Trump repeats the implementation of a set of executive orders that were typified by the Alien and Sedition Acts. The implementation of those executive orders will begin the second Pelosi Trials and identify the beginning of the period when the image of the beast is begun in earnest. That period ends at the enforcement of the Sunday law, so the period begins with executive orders paralleling the Alien and Sedition Acts, and ends with the Sunday law. It is there that the Republican party ends.

Both periods representing the conclusion of the Democratic party and then the Republican party are prophetically connected, and are represented by the period of twenty-two years from 1776 unto 1798. That period has three waymarks; the Declaration of Independence in 1776, thirteen years later the Constitution, followed by the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798. Those three waymarks find fulfillment in the line of the Democratic and Republican parties, though the application of the second and third waymark is at a different point in each line.

We will explain these waymarks and their fulfillments in the next article.
