THE DAYS OF DANIEL 12?
From "The Association of the Covenant People" - Burnaby, B.C. Canada - June 2012. THE GROUPS OF VARIOUS BRITISH ISRAEL ORGANIZATION HAVE HAD AND STILL DO HAVE, SOME STRANGE AND TO BE BLUNT FAR OUT AND WILD IDEAS ABOUT END TIME PROPHECY. THE FOLLOWING IS ONE OF THEM. I WILL ADD COMMENTS AS WE GO AND THEN GIVE YOU THE TRUTH OF DANIEL'S DAYS AND CHAPTER 12 - Keith Hunt TIME PERIODS IN DANIEL BY ROBERT B. MACDORMAND The book of Daniel presents time periods which have been a source of debate for many years. We are anxious to know when the end of the age and the beginning of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ will occur. Some people say it does not matter when these events will occur as long as we are always ready to meet the Lord every day. If that is so then why are these time periods mentioned in the Bible? (Now it is true that understanding prophecy is not a part of "being saved" BUT it is a part of those given the gift of understanding prophecy to expound for the Church of God in the last days - Keith Hunt) In the book of Daniel, the angel gave Daniel two time periods to describe the coming of the end of the age and the beginning of the Kingdom of God. He said, "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. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days." Daniel 12:11-12. In his book, "Study in Daniel", Howard Rand identifies the time of the taking away of the daily sacrifice as 70 A.D., when the Romans destroyed the Jewish temple in Jerusalem, but the abomination of desolation as coming centuries later in 619 A.D., when Muhammad's wife Khadija died, and Muhammad's career took a turn toward the rapid expansion of Islam. Rand said at that point in history Islam was fully established. Before that year its survival may have been in doubt. (Rand was out to lunch and so far off in his understanding of prophecy it is quite silly to take most of what he once wrote in any serious way - actually funny if it was not such a serious matter. First the word "sacrifice" is not in the Hebrew. Second the prophecy of Daniel has nothing to do with 70 A.D. or 619 A.D. as I will show you later - Keith Hunt) Khadija was an Ebeonite Christian. They were married by a Christian priest and stayed married for twenty five years until Khadija's death. Muhammad was faithful to her and took no other wives until after she died. After Khadija's death, Islam entered the violent stage. Within eleven years Muhammad had marshalled the largest army in Arabia and conquered Mecca. He also married twelve women. Khadija's death certainly marked a turning point for Muhammad and for Islam. Counting 1290 years from her death, Rand pointed to 1909 A.D. as the beginning of the consummation of the age. (Again Rand was so far out in his ideas it is funny if not so serious a matter - Keith Hunt) Counting 1335 years he pointed to 1954 as being the beginning of the era of blessedness. Rand thought there would be another war after the Second World War between our people and the Soviet Union which would end before 1954. He based his calculations on measurements from the Great Pyramid. As we all know, his calculations and predictions were not accurate. I have not seen an accurate prediction based on the 1290 and the 1335 years except that it was pointed out in Israel Truth literature that 1335 lunar years from the beginning of the Muslim calendar brings us to 1917 A.D., when Britain released Jerusalem from the domination of the Ottoman Empire. (IT is now obvious Rand and his prophetic interpretations were from planet Pluto - wrong and just way off beam. Daniel 12 has nothing to do with 1917 either - that is also a silly idea and completely wrong as I will show later - Keith Hunt) Let us not dismiss Howard Rand's predictions as being totally wrong, as many people have. One person, who is not in the Israel Truth movement, told me that people abandoned British Israel teaching because we predicted the return of Christ to take place in the 1950's. I have seen this in a few writings from that era, based on measurements from the Great Pyramid. Howard Rand certainly believed the end was coming soon after the Second World War. (And Rand and his ideas should be dismissed as many others and their ideas about the end of the age and Jesus' return in the 1950s, 1970s, 1980s, and etc. have all been shown to be in total error, because they simply did not understand Bible prophecy correctly - Keith Hunt) However, it may be that Rand had something when he pointed to Islam as being connected to the abomination of desolation. Some Israel Truth believers have looked to Jerusalem and the mosque of Omar, the Dome of the Rock, which was built on the site of the original temple and completed in 691 A.D. as being the abomination of desolation. Counting 1290 years from that year brings us to 1981 A.D., which could be called the beginning of the consummation of the age. It was the year President Reagan started the arms race which financially crippled the Soviet union and brought about its demise. There was later a separation of countries from Russia and I believe many of those countries which were liberated will not be part of Gog (Ezekiel 38:2). (Once more fully and totally WRONG. The prophecy of Daniel 12 has nothing to do with 691 A.D. or 1981 A.D. or ANYTHING because Daniel 12 has not YET arrived - Keith Hunt) Counting 1335 years from completion of the mosque brings us to 2026 A.D. Will that year be 1917 all over again, when Jerusalem will be liberated a second time? I believe Gog (Russia and a conglomerate of nations) will capture Jerusalem at some time in the future (Zechariah 14:2) and possibly attack North America. (NNNNOOOO!!!! Such ideas are in ignorance of understanding Daniel 12 correctly and all of Bible prophecy - Keith Hunt) Will 2026 A.D. be the end of Gag? Russia's rise to power began in 1917 with the Communist revolution. Will 2026 mark the end of that power? Only the Lord knows. (NNNOOO!!! 2026 has nothing to do with Russia, or Daniel 12 per se. Now I will give you the TRUTH of Daniel 12 - Keith Hunt) ...... DANIEL 12 AND HIS DAYS To understand Daniel 12 we have to go back to Daniel 11:40 - for the prophecy is one continuous prophecy from Daniel 11:40 to the end of Daniel 12. Verse 40 it is the time of the end. The last years of this age as we shall see in a moment. There is to arise a "king of the south" which will be led by Egypt, as foretold in the book of Ezekiel and other end time prophecies, expounded to you on this website in other studies. What you see taking place in many of the Arab nations today is the START of what will eventually be a union of Arab nations forming the end time "king of the south." The "king of the north" is and will be the union of nations in Europe - the clay and iron feet of Daniel's image in chapter 2. You can certainly see today the clay (weakness) and iron (strength) of Europe in the present distress taking place in the Europe Union of nations. This union will be the LAST resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire - 6 have come and gone - ONE MORE is to yet arise for a very short time at the very end time of this age. See my study "The Beasts of Daniel and Revelation" on this website. The "king of the south" shall "push at" (in what way is not revealed) and the "king of the north" shall come against him and prevail - conquer the king of the south to put it frankly. There was a type of this happening in the latter 1930s and the Europe led by Hitler, BUT it never went on to fulfil the rest of the prophecy, hence HITLER and the NAZI machine was not the end time "king of the north." At this end time destroying of the king of the south, there will be trouble all right coming from the North-East (v.44) - from Russia and China and India and Pakistan and the powers of the North-East. What the king of the north must do to gain world power, he must do quickly or he'll never do it, hence verse 44. The Europe king of the north will work quickly. It will march into Jerusalem and the Holy Land and set its tabernacle - dwelling place between the seas in the holy mountain - Jerusalem! I have expounded for you in other studies Matthew 24; Mark 13; Luke 21 and the book of Revelation, There will come an end time destruction upon the Jews in the Holy Land and upon Jerusalem. NOTICE NOW the prophecy does not stop - it continued right into chapter 12. "And AT THAT TIME....(chap.12:1) - at the time the king of the north - the Europe Beast - last end time Holy Roman Empire - enters the Holy Land after destroying the king of the south (all YET to take place).....AND THERE SHALL BE A TIME OF TROUBLE, SUCH AS NEVER WAS SINCE THERE WAS A NATION EVEN TO THAT SAME TIME..." THIS IS THE SAME TIME OF TROUBLE AS JESUS MENTIONS IN MAT.24; MARK 13; LUKE 21. IT IS THE SAME TIME OF TROUBLE AS IN JEREMIAH 30:7 - CALLED THERE "JACOB'S TROUBLE"! Jacob had his name changed to "Israel" - it is the end time GREAT TRIBULATION (Mat.24) upon ALL of Israel - the House of Judah - the Jews - and the House of Israel - most of the Western world nations. The coming Babylon Beast - Holy Roman Empire of Europe - a military and religious power, will destroy the king of the south (an Arab union yet to form) and march into the Holy Land - destroying the Jews and Jerusalem, and then turning its guns on The British Commonwealth of nations and the USA and some other nations of North-West Europe. IT WILL BE THE TIME OF TROUBLE SUCH AS THE WORLD HAS NEVER EXPERIENCED. THE WESTERN WORLD WILL BE RULED BY THE BABYLON BEAST OF EUROPE. THE LAST 42 MONTHS, 1260 DAYS, THE TIME AND TIMES AND DIVIDING OF A TIME - 42 MONTHS OF REVELATION WILL COME ON THE EARTH. IT WILL BE THE "GREAT TRIBULATION" SPOKEN ABOUT BY CHRIST IN MATTHEW 24. THEN NOTICE...."and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall AWAKE....." It is THE TIME OF THE RESURRECTION OF SAINTS, THE HOLY PEOPLE, THOSE WRITTEN IN THE BOOK....YES THE BOOK OF LIFE AS STATED IN REVELATION. IT IS THE RETURN OF CHRIST AND THE RESURRECTION OF THE SAINTS, INCLUDING DANIEL. ALL THIS I HAVE EXPOUNDED FOR YOU IN EXPOUNDING MATTHEW 24; MARK 13; AND LUKE 21 AND THE BOOK OF REVELATION ON THIS WEBSITE. THE SAINTS WILL SHINE LIKE THE STARS OF HEAVEN FOREVER - THE RESURRECTION CHAPTER OF 1 CORINTHIANS 15 (Daniel 12:3). THE WORDS OF THIS PROPHECY ARE SEALED EVEN TO THE TIME OF THE END, WHEN PEOPLE WILL RUN TO AND FRO AND KNOWLEDGE INCREASED (verse 4). This time has ONLY ARRIVED since about 1960 - the last 50 years - people going to and fro and knowledge increasing like as never before. Daniel sees two - one on this side of the river and the other on the other side (v.5). The question is asked ... "HOW LONG SHALL IT BE TO THE ***END*** OF THESE WONDERS" (v.6). THE ANSWER IS verse 7.... "a TIME, TIMES, AND AN HALF (SAME AS IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION = 42 MONTHS OR 1260 DAYS)...when he shall have accomplished to SCATTER the power of the HOLY people (this is the people of Israel - all 13 tribes - STILL the chosen of God - and the saints of God, for I have proved to you in other studies that there will come an end time persecution of the saints of God, who will need to flee into the wilderness - Revelation 12 - some will be killed, as it has always been down through the ages)....ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ***FINISHED***" Daniel was still not understanding (v.8) and said, "O my Lord, what shall be the ***END*** OF THESE THINGS?" Daniel was told the words were CLOSED UP and SEALED - till the TIME OF THE END (V.9). At the time of the end the WICKED (Bible definition is Ps. 119:53) would not understand - and putting it bluntly anyone who does NOT observe the 4th commandment - the Sabbath day - the 7th day, not the 1st day, the 7th day, is still in the wicked class, though they observe the other 9 commandments. They will NOT understand - the British Israel organizations cannot understand Bible prophecy for they WILL NOT, OR DO NOT, observe the 7th day Sabbath). BUT THE WISE SHALL UNDERSTAND (see Ps.111:10 for wisdom definition)!!! Now verse 11. The key is the DAILY taken away.... the word "sacrifice" is NOT in the Hebrew. It was written as such BECAUSE, at the time of the end sacrifices of animals by Jews will not be taking place - contrary to some "fundamental" prophet teachings, which I have covered in depth as to their WRONG prophetic teaching on this website, under this section here of "prophecy." The DAILY life of Jews in the holy land and in Jerusalem, will be taken away - destruction and captivity for them has come from the king of the north - the Beast Babylon Holy Roman Empire of Europe. The DAILY life of ALL Israel will come to a STOP - all 13 tribes will be in CAPTIVITY - the Europe Beast will rule the Western world. The ABOMINATION that MAKES DESOLATE - Jerusalem now made desolate - Judah and Israel made desolate - the saints made desolate in persecution ... FROM THAT TIME ... "there shall be 1290 DAYS (v.11). FROM THE TIME OF THE START OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION - THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION will be 1290 days - 30 days MORE than the 1260 days of the book of Revelation. BUT THERE IS MORE...."Blessed is he that waits and comes to the 1335 days" (v.12). THIS IS AN ADDED 45 DAYS TO THE 1290 DAYS. SO WE ARE ***OVER*** THE 1260 DAYS OR 42 MONTHS, OR TIME, TIMES, AND HALF, OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION BY 75 DAYS OR 2 MONTHS AND 15 DAYS, WITH A 30 DAY MONTH, AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY IN THE FIRST CHAPTERS OF GENESIS. THEN NOTICE..... "But go your (Daniel) way TILL THE END BE: FOR YOU SHALL REST (in death), AND ***STAND*** IN THY LOT (A RESURRECTION) AT THE ***END*** OF THE DAYS!!!! (v.13). Ah, are you getting it? Are you putting it all together? Do you see the CONNECTIONS with an "S" - connectionS WITH ALL THE VERSES FROM CHAPTER 11:40 TO 12:13? THE TIME HAS COME TO NOW UNDERSTAND DANIEL 12 AND THE DAYS OF A TIME, TIMES, HALF (As in Revelation = 1260 days or 42 months) and THE DAYS OF 1290, 1335. THE GREATEST TIME OF TROUBLE THIS WORLD HAS EVER EXPERIENCED WILL COME WHEN THE KING OF THE NORTH ENTERS THE HOLY LAND AND DESTRUCTION COMES ON JERUSALEM - THE JEWS, ALL ISRAEL NATIONS - THE SAINTS OF GOD. FROM THAT TIME THE DAYS ***BEGIN*** - NOT UNTIL THAT TIME DO THE DAYS BEGIN!!! FIRST IT IS A TIME, TIMES, AND HALF WHICH IS AS IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION = 1260 DAYS OR 42 MONTHS. THEN IT IS 1290 DAYS - AN ADDED 30 DAYS OR ONE MONTH. THEN IT IS 1335 DAYS - AN ADDED 45 DAYS OR ANOTHER ONE AND A HALF MONTHS. ***THEN*** AT THE ***END*** OF THOSE DAYS ..... AT THE END OF 1335 DAYS, DANIEL WILL ***STAND*** IN HIS LOT ..... THE RESURRECTION OF THE SAINTS TAKES PLACE - JESUS WILL RETURN - THE RESURRECTION OF THE SAINTS WILL HAPPEN!!! THE TIME, TIMES, HALF A TIME ... THE 1260 DAYS, THE 1290 DAYS, THE 1335 DAYS ..... HAVE NOT ***YET*** TAKEN PLACE!!! THEY ARE THE DAYS OF THE VERY LAST DAYS OF THIS AGE, LEADING UP TO THE RETURN OF CHRIST AND THE RESURRECTION OF THE SAINTS. THIS IS THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER .... I HAVE GIVEN IT TO YOU .... NOW YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE WISE, KEEPING THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, THEN YOU WILL KNOW I HAVE GIVEN YOU THE TRUE UNDERSTANDING OF THE DAYS OF DANIEL 12. WITH THAT TRUE UNDERSTANDING NOW YOU CAN SEE WHY ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE PAST LIKE HOWARD RAND AND OTHERS, WERE ***WRONG*** IN THEIR DATE SETTINGS OF WHATEVER DATE, DECADE, YEARS, THEY WERE TRYING TO CALCULATE. THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND, IT WAS NOT THE TIME OF THE END, MOST OF THEM WERE NOT WILLING TO OBEY ALL THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, SOME OF THOSE WHO WERE KEEPING THE 10 COMMANDMENTS (INCLUDING THE 7TH DAY SABBATH) BECAME VAIN IN THEIR OWN MIND WHICH LED THEM TO PERVERT THE WORD OF GOD AND SO THEY COULD NOT UNDERSTAND EITHER. I DO COME TO YOU TELLING YOU DOGMATICALLY THIS IS THE CORRECT UNDERSTANDING OF DANIEL 12. IF YOU DO NOT SEE IT THEN JUST WAIT, FOR IT WILL ALL HAPPEN EXACTLY AS I'VE GIVEN IT TO YOU IN THIS STUDY. THEN INDEED YOU SHALL KNOW GOD DID GIVE THE UNDERSTANDING TO HIS TRUE SERVANTS WHO FEAR HIM AND WALK WITH HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. Keith Hunt - June 2012 |
