Daniel 10 Part 2
I believe we are now living in the days Daniel and other prophets saw occurring far down the road from their perspective. Because of what is occurring today as God’s prophetic calendar unfolds, as noted it can be a bit unnerving as we try to remain strongly anchored to God in spite of everything that is now happening. The difficulty for the Christian during these times, is to continue persevering in God’s will in spite of the “tornadic” spiritual activity all around us. Because all of it has been previously revealed in His Word, we have no excuse to not understand it. It should prompt us to fall on His mercy and understand that His purposes will be accomplished. During the process, He will not ignore His own who humble themselves before Him and continue to seek His will daily.
God has done us a tremendous supernatural favor by taking the time to stoop and reveal His future will to us. He has done this over the centuries through numerous prophets, including Daniel. To ignore the writings of these godly men is to suffer for it. Forewarned is forearmed.
Israel’s Real Need
So, while Israel is starting to show signs that it is learning to rely on itself (and will eventually and ultimately come to rely on God alone), more headway needs to be made clearly. In essence, it seems clear that God’s plan is to put Israel on one side of the aisle completely alone and ultimately vulnerable, while all other nations actively stand against Israel (or don’t care and won’t help Israel). Why? Because it will force Israel to come to her knees before God, to learn to depend solely and only on God Almighty, the very Creator of Israel.
Daniel 9C 70 Sevens
To sum up, a total of 490 years are set aside to deal with Israel’s sin and rebellion. After the second set of weeks/sevens (the 62), there is a break or gap in which several things occur that lead up to the actual beginning of the Tribulation period when the Antichrist brokers or confirms a peace deal with Israel and Arab nations. Once the Antichrist confirms this peace treaty, it will be then that the final week/seven begins, which is called most commonly, the Tribulation period. This period of time is still in front of us.
Convergence
So why is society so unable to think clearly, to see reality? Even though more people appear to be waking up to some truth, by and large, society as a whole continues to walk the path of deliberate obfuscation. Moreover, they are content with it. Why? Well, it seems to me that at least five things are happening throughout the world now that are creating this global problem of complete blindness to truth and reality. Those five things are highlighted in Scripture.
Daniel 9B 70 Weeks
The Seventy “weeks” of Daniel 9, what do they stand for? How can we learn from there where we are on God’s prophetic timetable? Do those weeks apply to us today or in the future or have they all been fulfilled?
Warning Signs
In Matthew 24, the Olivet Discourse, Jesus issues several warnings for His disciples and ultimately for believers today. What are some of those warnings and how are we meant to react to them?
We look closely at Matthew 24:4-13 to learn what Jesus is telling us and why He is doing so.
The War on Our Brains
But Nehls doesn’t end with this, simply giving us information that is true while leaving us in a state of despair. There are things we can do and he outlines those things, which includes what he calls the Hippocampal Anti-Indoctrination Formula…
Daniel 8B Antiochus and Antichrist
Most conservative Bible scholars believe verses 20-22 have been completely fulfilled in history. The sticking points of disagreement occur with verse 23 and following. In my opinion, verses 23-25 could represent a near/far view. The near fulfillment sees Antiochus IV as the historical persecutor as in vv 9-14 (MacArthur). Antiochus as king in 164 BC was “in the latter period of their rule.” Rome conquered Greece in 146 BC and Antiochus died “broken without human agency” from insanity and disease of the bowels.
Fear-induced Neuroinflammation
In order to create a compliant society, one fit for the governance of the coming self-worshiping Antichrist, the world must be prepared in their minds and outlook. Their thinking must be adulterated and changed so that they will comply to messaging presented fearfully. Revelation 13 tells us that one day, a true son of Satan will step up to rule over the entire world in the final human-led global kingdom. During that time, he will cause everyone to take a mark on their hand or forehead that promises allegiance to him and allows them to buy and sell. In other words, by their visible outward sign of allegiance, people will be able to participate in society. Those who do not take the mark will become marked in another way by becoming the hunted. Those who do take the mark (just like those who took the jab), will call for the government to come down on those who do not participate in taking that mark.
Order of Future Events
It is obvious to me that the presence of the Church in this world (the invisible true Church), acts as a dam against things becoming exceedingly bad in this world all over as they will during the Tribulation. It also seems to be clear that until the Holy Spirit is out of the way (meaning no longer operating through the present Church), the Antichrist cannot be revealed. The Church effectively blocks the Antichrist from being revealed. That’s how I understand it and I realize there are many who disagree with me on that.
