DANIEL CHAPTER 12---ISRAEL'S TIME OF TROUBLE
Is The Book Of Daniel fact or fiction?
Creative ghost-writing by some later unknown or pure truth written by Daniel?
Does The Bible tell us?
WHAT does Jesus say about Daniel?
FORTUNATELY OUR JESUS knew the critics WOULD come; HE SAW IT thousands of years in advance, & so HE takes away ALL DOUBT on the matter. He tells us that IT WAS Daniel who wrote the book of Daniel: “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet.” (Matthew 24:15; Mark 13:14)
But what FEW CRITICS ASK IS THIS: WHY such a strong attack AGAINST the Book of Daniel?
WHY has the lost world & satan SOUGHT to DISMISS & ERASE the words of Daniel?
Simply because Daniel contains MORE fulfilled PINPOINT ACCURATE prophecies than ANY other book in the Bible.
In New Testament prophecy, Daniel is referred to MORE than ANY other Old Testament book.
At times, Communist governments EVEN prohibited preaching from the Book of Daniel because it reveals God’s knowledge of the future, and it shows that in the end the Lord God and His people WIN.
It BEARS repeating…JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF CONFIRMS DANIEL TO BE THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH….I BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST, THAT SETTLES IT FOR ME, Amen?
Turn with me now to DANIEL 12...
Daniel 12 - Israel’s Time of Trouble
Verse 1 tells us of a future “end times” trouble for Israel.
“At that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time.”
This does NOT mean that what is described in Daniel 12:1 is subsequent to the happenings of Daniel 11:36-45. It means what is described happens in the SAME era.
“Michael shall stand up”…The angel Michael is often associated with spiritual battle (Daniel 10:13; 10:21, Jude 1:9; Revelation 12:7). Since Michael is called the archangel (Jude 1:9), he is Satan’s TRUE opposite. Satan is NOT the opposite of Jesus; he is the opposite of Michael, this high-ranking angel.
In addition to his role as a spiritual warrior, Michael has a special job in protecting Israel. God has appointed Michael as a “SPIRITUAL GUARDIAN” over Israel.
“There shall be a time of trouble”…This refers to the time of persecution for Israel and world calamity known as the Great Tribulation. This period is also called the time of Jacob’s trouble in Jeremiah 30:7.
“Such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time”… The Jewish people have known MANY a time of trouble/horrifics/tortures/persecution through their history. From the horrors at the fall of Samaria and Jerusalem to the terrors wrought by Antiochus Epiphanes to the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans to the persecutions from the church during the Dark Ages to the pogroms of Europe to the 20th Century Holocaust, it often seems that all Israel’s history has been a time of trouble. But this time of trouble WILL BE different. This will be the WORST TROUBLE Israel has EVER SEEN/FACED.
Jesus confirms it in Matthew 24:21, which says, “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.”
With great sadness, we must say that the Bible teaches that the worst HAS YET TO COME for Israel and the Jewish people.
What will make this time terrible?
Revelation 12:13-17 describes the FURY of the devil directed against the Jewish people during this time. The trumpets, seals, and bowls of Revelation all described the horrific conditions of the world in general during this time. The Jewish people will be targets of the FULL FURY of the devil and his antichrist during this time, and will live in a world that is in incredible upheaval because of the judgment of God.
We KNOW that the Jewish people have ALWAYS been a target of Satan. He has sought to destroy them because he KNEW that God has ordained to accomplish His purposes through THIS nation. And so Satan has TRIED OVER AND OVER AGAIN to destroy the nation of Israel in order to KILL/STOP the purposes of God.
Verse 1 tells us of a promise of deliverance.
“And at that time your people shall be delivered, every one who is found written in the book.”
Despite the terrors of that time, deliverance IS assured. No matter how GREAT the attack is against the Jewish people, God has PROMISED to preserve them. He will NEVER break His promise to Abraham, found in Genesis 17:7, which says, “And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you.”
Paul tells us/WARNS in Romans 11:25-27, “Yet this promise of deliverance is NOT for every last person of Jewish heritage, but for every Jew found WRITTEN in the book. Jewish rabbis/tradition WRONGLY TEACH THAT EVERY PERSON OF Jewish heritage will be saved, but JESUS HIMSELF & THE DISCIPLES & THE OLD TESTAMENT warn that only a remnant, whose names are FOUND IN THE BOOK will be saved. YET after the Tribulation Israel as a whole will be known as a people who trust in Jesus as their Messiah, and truly turn to the Lord.”
Verse 2 tells us of the resurrection of the dead.
“And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt.”
“Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake”… Some think this is the resurrection of Israel as a nation. But the plainest meaning is that it refers to the resurrection of the body, the “shell of those OT Jews who were saved by the promise of a future Messiah, & those Jews who ARE/WERE complete JEWS (MESSIANIC JEWS) whose bodies with be snatched from the earth at the Rapture.
“Some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt”… The Bible clearly teaches TWO resurrections, one for the saved and one for the damned (John 5:29; Revelation 20:4-6; 11-15). If we, MANKIND, REALLY believed every one of us WILL live forever IN EITHER THE LAKE OF FIRE OR IN HEAVEN, it would profoundly change our lives.
“Everlasting contempt”…The terror of hell is ONLY a waiting prison, for THE WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT OF THE LOST, BEFORE THEIR CHOICE SENTENCES THEM TO an eternity in The Lake Of Fire. The TERROR NEVER ends. There is not blissful annihilation after some period of punishment. This passage denies a rising doctrine within the church, a modified annihilationism that teaches that unjustified sinners are sent to Hell, and they suffer torment for a while, but then their beings perish for eternity.
BROTHERS & SISTERS THERE IS NO ETERNAL DEATH….THERE IS NO END GAME….THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT….ENDLESS, ETERNAL, FOREVER AND FOREVER FOR THE SOULS OF EACH PERSON….FOREVER AND EVER means EXACTLY THAT…EACH PERSON WHO HAS EVER LIVED, REGARDLESS THE DURATION, THEIR LIFESPAN, WILL EITHER SPEND ETERNITY IN HEAVEN WITH JESUS or
WILL SPEND ETERNITY IN THE LAKE OF FIRE WITH SATAN AND HIS DEMONS…FOREVER.
Revelation 20:10 also certainly describes eternal punishment for the Devil and the Antichrist. "There would be no way possible in the Greek language to state more emphatically the everlasting punishment of the lost than here in mentioning both day and night and the expression ‘forever and ever,’ literally to the ages of ages.
As well, the Bible states that ALL are raised but not all at the same time or in the same manner (Revelation 20:5-6).
Verse 3 tells us a promise for the righteous.
“Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.”
Those who live in God’s wisdom WILL shine. Despite all the calamity, DESPITE all the difficulty coming upon Israel, God has those who are wise, and they shall shine!
The wise among God’s people are those who turn many to righteousness.
All God’s people are like stars in the sense that they radiate light and help others to see and find their way. But certainly, those who turn many to righteousness shine even more brightly, helping even more people to see the light and find their way.
This promise applies to ALL the wise, and ALL of those (Jew and Gentile alike) who turn many to righteousness through all ages. But it may have its most specific application to the 144,000 Jewish, virgin males who are sealed/protected from all plots and plans of Satan and the AntiChrist by Almighty God from Israel’s 12 tribes during the Tribulation in Revelation 7.
The brightness of God’s wise ones, and those who turn many to righteousness, will last forever. It isn’t fading. It endures, when so many other things that we put our effort into, even if they succeed, have an only temporary "shine." It’s worth it to invest our lives into the things that last forever and ever.
Verse 4 tells us of the instructions to seal the book.
"But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase."
To “shut up the words” implied that the words should be kept safely until the time when they were needed. SEAL THE BOOK HAS THE DOUBLE SENSE OF AUTHENTICATING THE MESSAGE & PRESERVING IT.
Daniel’s prophecy certainly was of some value in his own day. But there would come a day, the time of the end, when his prophecy would be of even more importance. Therefore, it was important to shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end.
Here, Daniel is describing a characteristic of the time of the end. Many take this prediction as being fulfilled in the travel (run to and fro) and information explosions (knowledge shall increase) of our modern age.
This has more the idea of searching after knowledge than rapid forms of transportation.
Daniel has revealed enough to us so that the book really can be sealed. From Daniel 11:36 to Daniel 12:3, we see:
A world ruler, utterly opposed to God is coming
A world religion, based on the abomination of desolation is coming
A world war, which defeats the one world ruler is coming
A time of great tribulation for Israel lasting three and one-half years
Deliverance for the people of God after the tribulation
Resurrection and judgment
The reward of the righteous
Verses 5-7 tells us Daniel asks how long will the time of trouble be?
Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that riverbank. And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, "How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?" Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.”
“Two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that riverbank”…Daniel is back to the riverbank first mentioned in Daniel 10:4. The visions of Daniel 10 through 12 have all taken place as Daniel stood at this riverbank.
“One said to the man clothed in linen . . . “How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?” Seemingly, these other men on the riverbank were angels. One angel is asking the other, not for the benefit of the angel, but for Daniel’s benefit and OUR benefit.
“Held up his right and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever”…In a solemn oath, one angel announces that the time of trouble will last three and one-half years (a time, times, and half a time).
The prediction is emphasized by the solemn oath, and by a miracle happening while it was spoken: who was above the waters in the river. The angel "walked on water" when he told the other angel and Daniel that these things would happen within a three and one half year period.
This three and one-half year period (here described as a time, times, and half a time) is well known in other passages of Biblical prophecy.
Daniel 7:25 describes it as the period that “SAINTS”=JEWS are given into Antichrist’s hands…so to will Gentiles who CHOOSE JESUS during the Tribulation.
Daniel 9:27 describes it as the period between the breaking of Antichrist’s covenant with Israel, the erection of the abomination of desolation, and the establishment of Jesus’ kingdom
Daniel 12:7 describes it as the duration of "the time of trouble" for Israel
Revelation 11:2 describes it as the period that the holy city will be tread underfoot by Gentiles
Revelation 11:3 describes it as the period of ministry for the two witnesses
Revelation 12:6 and 14 describes it as the period that Israel (only its remnant, because the AntiChrist will kill 2/3 of the Jewish nation) is preserved by God in the wilderness
Revelation 13:5 describes it as the duration of Antichrist’s authority to rule, persecute and blaspheme
Taking all these together, we are obviously dealing with the LAST half of Daniel’s seventieth week (the Great Tribulation); and we are told VERY little about the FIRST 3.5 YEARS OF THE TRIBULATION before THE ANTICHRIST BECOMES THE WORLD LEADER.
“When the power of the holy people has been shattered, all these things shall be finished”… the people of Israel will seem completely crushed as these things end, but at that time, the Messiah – upon whom they will trust before He returns – will return to rescue them.
Verse 8 tells us Daniel’s last question: how will it all turn out?
“Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, "My lord, what shall be the end of these things?”
Daniel didn’t understand it all either, even though he heard it & saw THE VISION OF IT first hand!
What shall be the end of these things? Perhaps Daniel asked this question, anxious because he understood & had SEEN just how terrible the time of trouble would be.
Verse 9-13 gives us the answer: God will purify and preserve His people, and has set a limit of days to the time of trouble.
“And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand. And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days. But you, go your way till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”
The command to “go your way” is literally merely "to let go" but it is not meant physically. The angel is telling Daniel to make a mental departure from the questioning. More details would be revealed later; Daniel must be content with what God has revealed thus far.
Daniel must make a mental departure from his questioning, because the revealing of these things will not come till the time of the end. Until then, there is a sense in which these prophecies are closed up and sealed.
We shouldn’t think there was no instruction, no blessing, no benefit in these words for any generation until the time of the end. But the meaning of these prophecies would be less mysteries at the time of the end.
The massive interest in prophecy, and the incredible development in understanding of Biblical prophecy in the last 150 years should make us see that we truly are at the time of the end.
One of the COMMON arguments AGAINST some understandings of Biblical prophecy is "Your ideas are new. The early church or Christians through the ages DID NOT teach these things. Your ideas are wrong because they are NEW."
But this word TO Daniel, that the words are “closed up and sealed” till the time of the end should make us think VERY differently.
Additionally, when we look at Church history, we see that God has successively had the church focus on specific areas of doctrine at different periods. Our present understanding of many areas of Biblical teaching were only most carefully and precisely defined after God appointed the church to focus on that doctrinal area.
For example:
In the 2ND--4TH centuries, the church focused on the doctrine of Scripture.
In the 4TH century, the focus was on the doctrine of God (In the Trinity).
In the 5TH century, the focus was on the doctrine of Christ.
In the 5TH --7TH centuries, the focus was on the doctrine of man.
In the 15TH & 17TH centuries, the focus was on the doctrine of salvation.
In the 16TH & 17TH centuries, the focus was on the doctrine of the church.
So it should not surprise us that it was not UNTIL the 19TH & 20TH centuries - the time of the end - that the focus would turn upon the doctrine of last things and the return of Jesus.
“Many shall be purified, made white, and refined”…This is another prediction for what was future to Daniel, because this degree of purification is ONLY possible AFTER the finished work of Jesus on the cross.
“But the wicked shall do wickedly”…Most specifically, we would say that this prediction has to do with the end times, when wickedness will abound more than ever (as in the Antichrist and his government), but an innumerable multitude will also be saved (as is seen in Revelation 7:9-10).
“And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days”….This is an amazingly specific prophecy. Daniel says that from the time of the abomination of desolation, you can simply start marking off your calendar to the final consummation of all things, 1,290 days later WHEN JESUS WILL APPEAR IN THE SKIES, WITH HIS WARRIOR ANGELS, & THE CHURCH TO WATCH AS JESUS CHRIST PERSONALLY RESCUES ISRAEL FROM TOTAL DESTRUCTION.
This is why Jesus pointed to Daniel’s prophecy of the abomination of desolation as the sign that would mark the immediacy of His return in Matthew 24:15.
“Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days”…
What is the relation between three and one-half years (1,260 days, mentioned specifically in Revelation 11:3 and 12:6), the 1,290 days mentioned here in Daniel 12, and the 1,335 days mentioned here in Daniel 12?
BIBLE SCHOLARS BELIEVE that JESUS IS SPEAKING TO THOSE WHO SURVIVE THE GREAT TRIBULATION, at the end of the 1,260 days WHEN Jesus returns in the clouds with us all & JESUS THEN STEPS DOWN ON THE HOLY MOUNTAIN IN JERUSALEM AND PERSONALLY DESTROYS ALL THE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL AND THOSE GENTILES WHO LOVE HIM.
At the end of the 1,290 days, (30 DAYS LATER) Jesus’ government is officially installed on the earth IN Jerusalem.
At the end of the 1,335 days (IT WILL TAKE 45 DAYS) FOR JESUS TO BRING FORTH AND JUDGE the nations as foretold in Matthew 25:31-46.
“But you, go your way till the end”…Daniel’s mind was filled with exciting and frightening prophetic thoughts. It might have been easy for those things to become a distraction to him instead of a blessing to him. So the angel concludes with an important reminder: go your way till the end. JESUS TELLS US AND PROMISES US THAT HE WILL PUT ON US NO MORE THAN WE CAN BEAR. God KNEW DANIEL HAD REACHED THAT POINT. AND GOD had a course He wanted Daniel to complete in his day and time on earth, and Daniel needed to remain focused on that. And God did not want Daniel’s heart, mind, and life so focused on the FAR FUTURE AND THE TROUBLES TO COME….THAT IT STOLE THE JOY, PEACE, BLESSINGS, AND WORKS OF HIS PRESENT.
In John 21:22, Jesus told Peter about his destiny to die as a martyr for Jesus. Peter wanted to know about John’s destiny, so he asked Jesus, "What about John?" Essentially, Jesus replied, "It’s none of your business. You follow Me."
In the same way, Daniel was not to spend all his time and energy speculating and worrying about things he couldn’t confront in his lifetime or what his people would confront in their future. Instead, he should simply obey the word to go your way till the end - something we must all do.
Jesus Christ WARNED us and PROPHECIED that these things would happen in Matthew.
So in the same way, we THE CHURCH, THE BRIDE OF CHRIST, SHOULD BE WATCHING THE EASTERN SKIES, DAY AND NIGHT, because we ARE at the end of days. All this tells us that Jesus could come at ANY moment.
The GROWING persecutions of Christians worldwide are escalating to shockingly obscene numbers DAILY. The growing rejection of all things JESUS CHRIST GLOBALLY is skyrocketing. The growing rejection of all things HOLY BIBLE is skyrocketing.
EVEN as the GLOBAL rise of and acceptance and tolerance of the immoral, the unethical, the heinous, the abusive, the unjust, the greedy, the sexually depraved IS exploding across the globe.
EVEN as nature/seasons has turned upon itself. There are floods, where globally we have a history of droughts. There are droughts, where there has always been plenty of rain. There are volcanic eruptions in places that the volcanoes have been dead/silent. There are earthquakes where there have been few if none. We have pestilence that is resistant to all attempts to destroy or control it. There are the revival of diseases that have been non-existent for hundreds of years. The north is dealing with snow in summer, and summer temps during their normal winter seasons. The south has not really had a winter season, but more like a few days of cold weather. The sun is sending out DAILY GROWING SOLAR FLARES, as the gravitational pull/ the solar systems balance is changing.
There is NO SUCH THING AS “GLOBAL WARMING” from the advances of technology or pollution….it is ONLY JESUS CHRIST keeping HIS WORD.
But most of all, and most SIGNIFICANT is that ISRAEL’S allies are turning their backs on ISRAEL. DEMANDING that ISRAEL compromise in all things, while allowing demonic terrorists and their states and countries to be forgiven their heinous acts. DEMANDING that Israel stand down in the face of daily rocket, bomb, and terrorists acts. SANCTIONING ISRAEL, CONDEMING ISRAEL FOR SEEKING TO PROTECT ITSELF.
THE ONLY THING, ABOVE JESUS’ TIMETABLE, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT’S PRESENCE ON THE EARTH WHICH STAYS & KEEPS THE DEMONIC, EVIL, THE DEPRAVED DOWN…the ONLY CONSTANT PROTECTION, CHAMPIONS, DEFENDERS, SUPPORTERS, DONATORS TO ISRAEL are the Christians in the world.
ISRAEL SEEKS MORE AND MORE TO SEEK AND ASK AND EXPECT AND APPRECIATE THE CHRISTIANS IN THE WORLD WHO DO REMAIN FAITHFUL…CONSTANT.
ALMIGHTY GOD IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT.
JESUS CHRIST IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT.
ALMIGHTY GOD SAID THEY WOULD AT THE END.
JESUS CHRIST SAID THEY WOULD AT THE END.
ALMIGHTY GOD SAID THEY WOULD RETURN.
JESUS CHRIST SAID THEY WOULD BE RESTORED.
THE ONLY WAY THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IS IF ISRAEL NO LONGER HAS THE CHURCH, THEIR CHRISTIAN FRIENDS, & THEIR GLOBAL GENTILE SUPPORTERS NO LONGER HERE TO HELP THEM.
THEY WILL NOT TURN TO ALMIGHTY GOD & JESUS CHRIST UNTIL THEY HAVE NO ONE ELSE.
UNTIL ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH NATION HAVE NO HELP LEFT ON THE EARTH.
THE BIBLE TELLS US LITTLE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE CHURCH IS RAPTURED=caught up in the clouds, AT THE BEGINNING OF REVELATION 3.
BUT THE WORLD THINKS 9/11 WAS LIFE CHANGING…EARTH SHATTERINGS AND ONLY 4 PLANES CRASHED, ALL WITHIN THE UNITED STATES, AND TAKING THE LIVES OF ALMOST 4,000 PEOPLE.
THINK ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN GLOBALLY WHEN AN ESTIMATED 1 BILLION CHRISTIANS OF THE CURRENT 7 BILLION POPULATION….SUDDENLY DISAPPEAR FROM THE EARTH.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: I DID SOME 2012 GLOBAL RESEARCH!
Did you know there are over 113,000 planes in the air globally EACH day?
Did you know there are over 671, 358, 000 motor vehicles on the road globally EACH day?
Did you know there are over 14, 000 rapid transit rail trains operating globally EACH day?
Did you know there are over 2, 000 ships sailing globally EACH day?
CONSIDERING THE ABOVE….
AND THE MAJORITY OF THE NATION OF ISRAEL & THE JEWS WANT nothing to do with THE NEW TESTAMENT. They refuse to have it in their homes. Hear about it. And they ostracize any JEWISH SYNAGOGUE/FAMILY MEMBER WHO becomes a MESSIANIC JEW.
WORSE, the majority of the JEWISH PEOPLE do not read nor follow the OLD TESTAMENT EITHER, above the JEWISH CEREMONIES, RITUALS, & TRADITIONS. ALMIGHTY GOD IS AN AFTER THOUGHT, OR AN UNSPOKEN GIVEN.
Jesus Christ says, “I came unto my own, and they received me not.”
But Jesus Christ told JOHN & DANIEL that at the end of the end, that ISRAEL WOULD TURN TO HIM. ACKNOWLEDGE HIM. ACCEPT HIM, AND NEVER WALK AWAY FROM HIM AGAIN.
DID YOU KNOW THAT ISRAEL, knowing that The Rea Sea is drying up…that the minerals in the Dead Sea cure radiation burns, help heal biological warfare contaminants/patients?
DID YOU KNOW THAT ISRAEL…sits on the world’s largest ever RECENTLY DISCOVERED natural gas & oil resources?
DID YOU KNOW THAT ISRAEL’S WATER IS A NATURAL WELLSPRING, UNDERGROUND, AND PROTECTED BY A MYSTERIOUS ROCK FORMATION THAT PROTECTS IT FROM CONTAMINATION, FROM EVAPORATION, AND FEEDS THE LAND OF ISRAEL FROM BENEATH, RATHER THAN FROM RAIN FROM ABOVE?
Think about the condition of the world at Christians instant removal from the earth? The damaged cities, polluted water systems, destroyed food sources, inadequate medicines to treat, much less cure and heal bio warfare/radiation burns?
WHAT do you think the world leaders WILL do to feed themselves? Their people? Heal and protect themselves and their people?
THIS GIVES YOU AN IDEA WHAT ISRAEL WILL FACE WORLDWIDE…EVERYONE WILL SEEK TO TAKE…WHAT THEY NEED TO SURVIVE….and they will have NO ONE on the earth to help them….until The AntiChrist walks onto the world stage and STOPS the world, and demands & receives a globally signed treaty between the world and Israel…
The AntiChrist will become their POLITICAL SAVIOR.
DANIEL not only saw this, DANIEL SAW what The AntiChrist WOULD do to HIS PEOPLE…
But then as now….JESUS TOLD DANIEL…and JESUS IS telling us all….
I HAVE A PLAN.
I AM IN CONTROL.
DO NOT WORRY.
DO NOT FEAR.
GET EXCITED…I AM COMING FOR YOU SOON!!!
