8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Matthew 24.8-21

~

There in v15, Jesus Christ tells us that when we see the abomination spoken of by Daniel the prophet, to stand in the holy place, those who read and understand, and He gives instructions for the people who live in Judaea, which is a valley, to flee to the mountains.

We read in Daniel about this abomination of desolation, and also the reason for the warning to flee to the mountains.  We read about how kingdoms will rise and fall, with one kingdom grasping for power only to have it taken away by the next, and we read about how there will be a great flood in the end.

Of course, God promised Noah that He would not destroy the whole Earth again with a flood.  But He is also warning us that the end times will be flooded with not only water, but also by the words of Satan.

What is the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet?  It is something yet to be seen, though, if you look now, you can see it already.

In part, it is the image and the mark of the beast.  In part, it is the poison-called-a-vaccine that the governments around the world have tried to force upon people.  In part, it is the spirits like a frog that come out of the mouths of the beast and the dragon and the false prophet.  In part, it is the conglomerate system of the Antichrist which is rising today.

We are living in the days when the Bible describes peoples' love growing cold because of the overspreading of abominations.  There has never been such a level of self-lust and wickedness and perversion like there is today.

We are living in the last "fun" days that people on this Earth will ever experience.  In a very short amount of time, there will be no more fun, but only weeping, and increasing sorrow and torment until Jesus Christ returns, because the population of the whole planet will be faced with dire choices, and will be faced with the consequences of their actions.  The Bible gives us a lot of descriptions of what people will be like during these days, and America has been like this for a while now, and has made the whole world drunk with American evil.

The books of Daniel and Revelation, and the Gospels, and all the rest of the Bible, all fit together nicely, and support one another.  We can know more about one book, by reading another; and we can cross-reference Scripture to interpret Scripture deeply.

The book of Daniel is generally divided into two parts: Chapters 1-6 are a narrative story, containing some prophecy, while the last half, Chapters 7-12 are more prophecy, containing some narratives.  It is a legitimate history book, and Jesus Christ pointed His followers to it, to understand the days we are living in.

There is a time-keeping schedule spelled out in the book of Daniel, which is very important for believers in Christ to understand today, and even for secular folks, to wake them up to the reality of God's Word and the grace and truth revealed within.

I am not sure when Jesus Christ Himself is going to return, as He said that no man knows the day or the hour.

I am certain that the Antichrist is here, thriving and throbbing among us, and I am certain that God has led me to understand the timeline of the Antichrist's rise and fall.

In Daniel chapter 12, we read about some things which were sealed up until now.  Now that we are entering in, and even beginning now the dividing of times, the truth of these things is revealed, and I am telling you now by the power of the Holy Spirit things which prophets and seers for eons have stretched and yearned to understand, and have not.  They could not have, because God has sealed it until now, and these things have not taken place until recently.

Daniel Chapter 12 opens up describing a time of great distress, great trouble that the Earth has never before seen.  People think things are bad today, in August of 2022, but in about a year and a month, in September of 2023, things are going to be so ferociously and intensely bad, people will hardly remember any "good days" in their life, because of the pain and agony they will experience and see people all around them experiencing.

And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

Daniel 12.1

~

Then, in verses 7-9, we read about an interaction between some men, and Daniel, during a vision God granted him.  In this vision we learn of the phrase, "a time, times, and an half," which is a phrase with mighty importance for people alive today, and for people who will be alive in about four and a half years from now, and for people who will be alive in the year 2030.

~

7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?

9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

Daniel 12.7-9

~

After God told Daniel that the words were closed up and sealed until the time of the end, God gave Daniel a schedule which Daniel could only wonder at, because it would be a long time until the days that God spoke about were to come to pass.

~

10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

11 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.

12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

Daniel 12.10-13

~

This Passage here is the schedule which God has put me to attend to.  Nobody has told me these things, except for the Holy Spirit.  I have shared this interpretation with several Pastors, and with lots of believing Christians that I know, and nobody has told me I am wrong; indeed, I have been encouraged by their encouragement to keep digging, and to study to know more.

Here I shall share with you and tell you what has been revealed to me, because God has made me an observer and a reporter, and I am faithful to His calling, and I am praying to remain faithful to this path which He has chosen for me.

In v11 there, we read about something called "the daily sacrifice," and we read that it shall be taken away.  This is the "global shutdown" that President Trump takes credit for.  In mid-March of 2020, President Trump gave the command to shut down the global economy, or what we might call "the daily grind," and since then, the world has struggled to "regain a sense of normalcy" as the world becomes less and less normal with each passing day.

Doing the math from mid-March of 2020, adding a thousand two hundred and ninety days, we are looking at September of 2023.

This date of September 2023 is when God says that "the abomination that maketh desolate" is "set up."  This, interpreted, means that we have about a year and a month to be able to freely buy and sell things with regular money.  After this, people will be required to use the mark of the beast or the image of the beast to buy or sell, or, as we can already see, be a part of regular society.

But for the believer in Christ, we have a special blessing awaiting us, there in v12.  It says "Blessed is he that waiteth," and it gives us the timeframe of a "thousand three hundred and thirty five days."  This blessing is going to be apparent by November of 2023.

Jesus Christ is Lord!
