Daniel was touched three times in chapter ten, the first and last time by Gabriel and the middle touch was by Christ. It was the middle touch where Daniel most keenly felt his corruption, for the middle waymark of truth represents rebellion. It was Michael who touched Daniel the second time, for He had descended at the end of twenty-one days.

At the end of three and a half symbolic days, in which the two witnesses of Revelation chapter eleven lie dead in the street, a voice resurrects the two witnesses. It is the voice of the archangel that resurrects. The descent of Michael in Daniel chapter ten, at the twenty-second day aligns with the resurrection of the two witnesses in 2023. While the two witnesses were dead in the street, Ezekiel was shown their scattered bones and asked if he thought those dead dry bones in the valley could be resurrected, and all Ezekiel would answer is, “Lord thou knowest.”

Ní òpin ọjọ́ àpẹẹrẹ mẹ́ta àtààbọ̀, nínú èyí tí àwọn ẹlẹ́rìí méjì ti Ìfihàn orí kọkànlá wà ní òkú lójú òpópónà, ohùn kan jí àwọn ẹlẹ́rìí méjì náà dìde. Ohùn olórí àwọn áńgẹ́lì ni ń jí wọn dìde.

Ezekiel was then told to prophesy to the bones, which he did, and when he did, they were formed together, but were still not alive. Ezekiel’s first prophecy was gathering the bones together, but it would require a second prophecy to resurrect the bones as an army. The second prophecy of Ezekiel was the prophecy of the third woe, as represented by the four winds that brought the bones to life. The first Adam was created perfect, but afterwards sinned and passed death on to all his posterity. The resurrection of Ezekiel’s dead bones parallels the creation of Adam in his perfection, for Adam was first formed, and then the Lord breathed into him the breath of life.

This is not to say that the two witnesses receive glorified bodies when they are brought back to life, for that doesn’t occur until the second coming, but their resurrection parallel’s Daniel’s vision of the causative “marah” vision, when they are changed into the image they then behold. Line upon line, the process of the sealing is very carefully laid out by the prophetic testimony.

Èyí kì í ṣe láti sọ pé àwọn ẹlẹ́rìí méjèèjì gba ara ògo nígbà tí a jí wọn dìde sí ìyè, nítorí èyí kì í ṣẹlẹ̀ títí di ìpadàbọ̀ kejì, ṣùgbọ́n àjíǹde wọn bá ìran Dáníẹ́lì mu ní ti ìran “marah” tí ń fa ìṣẹ̀lẹ̀ wá, nígbà tí a yí wọn padà sí àwòrán èyí tí wọ́n ń wò nígbà náà.

In Revelation chapter eleven, “after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered” into the two witnesses, “and they” then “stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them,” and there was then “a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.”

Nínú Ìfihàn orí kọkànlá, “lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ mẹ́ta àtààbọ̀ Ẹ̀mí ìyè láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run wọ inú” àwọn ẹlẹ́rìí méjèèjì, “àti pé wọn” lẹ́yìn náà “dúró lórí ẹsẹ̀ wọn; ẹ̀rù ńlá sì bà àwọn tí wọ́n rí wọn,” nígbà náà sì ni “ohùn ńlá kan láti ọ̀run wí fún wọn pé, Ẹ gòkè wá síhìn-ín. Wọ́n sì gòkè lọ sí ọ̀run nínú àwọsánmà; àwọn ọ̀tá wọn sì rí wọn.”

First, the Spirit entered into them, then they stood upon their feet, and when they stood, fear fell upon their enemies who had previously rejoiced over their deaths. Then a voice calls them up, and their enemies witness the event. With Ezekiel, they are first identified as scattered and dead in the valley, then a prophecy is proclaimed that gathers them together, then the second prophecy causes them to stand up as a mighty army. With Daniel, he first sees the great vision that produces a separation of two classes, and he is then touched three times.

The first time he was touched he had no strength, he was in a deep sleep, and his face was towards the ground. Sleep represents death. Yet he heard the words spoken.

> Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice. John 5:28.

Gabriel then brought Daniel to his hands and knees, and then commanded him to stand, which he did, though he was trembling. He then heard the words of Gabriel, but he was left dumb. Ezekiel had also seen the vision of Christ and it produced a similar sequence of events.

> And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about. As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake. And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me. Ezekiel 1:26–2:2.

Esekiẹli 1:26–2:2.

The vision caused both Ezekiel and Daniel to be humbled into dust, where they were prostrated upon the ground. In that condition they both still heard the word of the Lord, and they were both brought to a standing condition to hear the words that were spoken to them, and when they heard the words “the Spirit entered into” them. The combination of divinity is accomplished by the reception of the Word of God that is conveyed by the Holy Spirit. The “Word” is what transmits divinity into humanity. This truth must be recognized in order to understand the seriousness and significance of the prophetic history which Gabriel provides Daniel with in chapter eleven. The prophetic history represented in chapter eleven, is the conduit by which holy oil is conveyed to the wise virgins.

With Ezekiel, he is immediately instructed that he is to present a message to Laodicean Adventism, though Ezekiel is informed from the outset that Laodicean Adventism will not hear his words, for they are a rebellious house. Ezekiel’s experience is Isaiah’s experience in chapter six, and therefore upon two witnesses when God awakens Daniel from sleep, which is a symbol of death, Daniel is given a message for the rebellious house of Laodicean Adventism, but they will not hear.

Daniel is then touched a second time, by Christ Himself, who touches Daniel’s lips, just as he had touched Isaiah’s lips with a coal from the altar. Then Daniel could speak, but he was still without strength, and still had no breath. According to Ezekiel the breath comes with the message of the “four winds”, which was Ezekiel’s second prophecy. Ezekiel’s prophecy of the four winds aligns with Daniel’s third touch, for it is then that breath comes into the bones and they stand as a mighty army. It is in Daniel’s third touch that he is strengthened.

On July 18, 2020, God’s last-day people were scattered and entered into the tarrying time of the parable. The history of the sealing was illustrated in the history of October 22, 1844, unto the rebellion of 1863. The line of history there represented overlays with September 11, 2001, unto the Sunday law, but it also overlays with the history of July 18, 2020, unto the Sunday law. This prophetic phenomenon is based upon the fact that symbols have more than one meaning, and the meaning is to be determined by the context where they are applied.

When we consider the arrival and work of any of the three angels they are governed by the same sequence of events. They arrive at the point when the prediction associated with them is unsealed. That prediction is structured upon three steps. Its arrival, its empowerment and the closed door at its end. There are other waymarks within the history, but the three testing waymarks of the arrival of any of the three angels is the first waymark where a prophecy is unsealed. The message that is unsealed is empowered through a confirmation, and that confirmation and empowerment then tests the men and women of that history. The conclusion of the history produces a litmus test which demonstrates whether those standing at the third test are wise or foolish.

Within the history of September 11, 2001 unto the Sunday law you can identify three angels. The first arrived on September 11, 2001, the second arrived on July 18, 2020, and the third arrives at the soon coming Sunday law (the litmus test). October 22, 1844 aligns with September 11, 2001, and 1856 aligns with July 18, 2020, and 1863 aligns with the Sunday law. That being said, October 22, 1844 to 1863 also aligns with July 18, 2020, unto the Sunday law, for July 18 was the arrival of the second angel of the history of the sealing. The following history is still correctly identified as simply the waymarks of any angel.

On July 18, 2020, there was a truth unsealed that was to test that generation. The second step in that history is when the two witnesses are resurrected. They are then tested as to whether they will accept the light then revealed, which is going on now. Then at the Sunday law (the litmus test), it will be revealed who is and who isn’t a wise virgin. When we consider the history as simply the structure of a singular angel and then lay October 22, 1844, through to the rebellion of 1863, over the history of July 18, 2020 unto the Sunday law, we find that in 1849, Sister White identified that the Lord had stretched forth His hand again to gather the remnant of His people.

From October 22, 1844 to 1849, God’s people had been scattered. In 1850 they produced the second of the two tables of Habakkuk. In January of 1851 they were advertising the new chart in the Review. God’s people were scattered, and the third angel arrived with light. Then God began to gather them again, and He then provided a visual representation of the message they were to proclaim, as He had done in 1842. The light that arrived on October 22, 1844 was an increase of knowledge and it continued, under His direction to develop, and in 1856 the capstone of that light was introduced. That light was upon the “seven times,” which was the first light recognized by William Miller, and which was represented as one of the prophecies that was fulfilled on October 22, 1844.

The light of the “seven times,” in 1856, was both the ending of the increase of knowledge given to Miller, the messenger of the first angel, but it was also the ending light of the third angel that was given on October 22, 1844. The rejection of the light in 1856, was both a rejection of the increase of knowledge that was unsealed in 1798, but also the increase of knowledge that was unsealed on October 22, 1844, and it was rejected by those who then and there transitioned from the experience of Philadelphia unto the experience of Laodicea. The rebellion of 1863, was the third, and litmus test, which was demonstrated by a counterfeit chart that removed the light of the “seven times.”

The first disappointment of April 19, 1844, was brought upon the Philadelphian movement of the first angel by God holding His hand over a mistake in some of the figures on the 1843 pioneer chart. The first disappointment of July 18, 2020, was brought upon the Laodicean movement of the third angel by men disregarding that on October 22, 1844, Christ had lifted up His hand to heaven and swore that time should be no longer. On July 18, 2020, a message was unsealed that was to test this generation of virgins. As in 1850, the Lord in 2023, stretched out His hand a second time to gather together Ezekiel’s dead bones that had been dead in the street since July 18, 2020. By 1851, there was a new visual representation of the message that was a fulfillment of the prophecy of Habakkuk chapter two, thus identifying that after 2023, the Lord will have a new living ensign to lift up that is typified by Habakkuk’s two tables.

Habakkuk’s two tables were typified by the two tables of the Ten Commandments and also by the two wave loaves in the feast of Pentecost. The one hundred and forty-four thousand are identified as a first-fruit offering, and they are those in Malachi that represent the offering as “in days of old, as in former years.” They are lifted up as a wave offering that all the world will see.

The awakening of the one hundred and forty-four thousand begins with the gathering together, and that gathering is accomplished by the Word of God, for Ezekiel’s dead bones are gathered by hearing the Word of God, while they are still dead. Ezekiel represents the human instrument that proclaims the message that gathers the bones, when the Lord stretches forth His hand a second time to gather His remnant. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, John and Ezekiel all identify the human element that conveys the divine message to the dead dry bones.

Once the bones are gathered the Lord reveals the increase of knowledge that is unsealed just before probation closes, and that knowledge is represented by “that portion of the prophecy of Daniel relating to the last days.” In Ezekiel’s second prophecy, the light that is unsealed is the third woe, which is the message of the east wind that breathes life into the bones and causatively causes them to stand as a mighty army. The light that is revealed to Daniel is the light represented by the king of the north in chapter eleven. Together Ezekiel and Daniel represent “that portion of the prophecy of Daniel relating to the last days,” which is the tidings of the (east) wind and king of the (north).

In 1856, the Lord purposed to finish His work of sealing his people, but they rebelled. The message He intended to employ to bring them out of their Laodicean condition was the “seven times” of Leviticus twenty-six. When the Lord began to gather His people in July, 2023, He presented them once again with the message of the “seven times,” and among other things, identified that on the antitypical Day of Atonement the Jubilee trumpet was to sound, which is also when the seventh trumpet was also to sound. The Jubilee trumpet is a symbol of the “seven times,” and the seventh trumpet is the third woe. When Michael descended in Daniel chapter ten. Daniel represented those who obtain the experience of those who pray the prayer of Leviticus twenty-six, and those who seek to understand the prophetic secret of Daniel chapter two.

Daniel represents those who have been gathered by the voice of God, and then stand upon their feet strengthened to proclaim the message of the east and the north. They proclaim that message until the soon coming Sunday law. The process of raising up that army is a very detailed subject of prophecy, and the point when Divinity begins to be combined with humanity in fulfillment with the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand began in the history that is represented in verse eleven of Daniel eleven. The history represented from verse one of Daniel eleven until verse sixteen fills up the hidden history of verse forty, that is “that portion of the prophecy of Daniel relating to the last days.”

As we begin to consider verses thirteen to fifteen of Daniel eleven, that was first fulfilled at the Battle of Panium in 200 BC, it is essential to understand the significance of these verses. Panium is the third of three proxy wars. The first battle concluded with victory for the papacy and its proxy army the United States in 1989. The next battle, represented by verses eleven and twelve, which was fulfilled by the Battle of Raphia, the king of the south (Russia), will defeat the king of the north and its proxy army in the Ukraine. The third battle will be as the first with the papacy (the king of the north) prevailing over Communism (the United Nations), with its proxy army (the United States). But the third proxy war which is the Battle of Panium, will also initiate World War III.

The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered. How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.’ ‘The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.’ Joel 1:15–18, 12.
