About how some of the prophetic messages from the books of Daniel, Revelation, and Isaiah may work in tandem regarding time. (Where the index „AI“ occurs, answers to questions have been received from artificial intelligence.)
- What date does Revelation 1: 1 take us to?
- Daniel 8: 3-14 – How did the vision unfold? – ram, goat, 4 horns, little horn, dialogue between the holy beings and
„2300 ereb-boker“ in Hebrew („2300 evenings and mornings“). After that, Daniel received explanations and finally the holy being said: -
„The vision of the evenings and mornings Which has been told is true; But keep the vision secret, For {it} pertains to many days {in the future.}“ (Daniel 8: 26). * The technique of similitude – something happens to someone that will be a prototype of something similar to someone else, which will happen in the end, but in the end, it will be on a larger scale. The „little horn“ – the Syrian king Antiochus IV Epiphanes (see Daniel 8: 9-12) was a type of the „little horn“ – the future Antichrist at the end of time (see Daniel 7: 8,11,20-26; 8: 23-25).
- Logic – From the cleansing of the sanctuary, during the time of the „little horn“ King Antiochus IV – to the cleansing of the sanctuary, at the end of time, when the „little horn“ – the Antichrist – will appear, exactly 2300 years will pass. From one cleansing of the sanctuary to the next cleansing of the sanctuary, 2300 years will pass. But – is it possible to understand even more precisely – From when to when?
- The Miracle of Hanukkah – According to Jewish legend, during the cleansing of the Jerusalem Temple, priests discovered a sealed jar of olive oil, which still bore the seal of the murdered high priest of Judea Onias III. The olive oil it contained was intended for one day’s burning (the daily dose of oil), but thanks to a miracle by the Archangel Michael, the flame (from the oil from the jar in question) burned for eight whole days. Since then, for thousands of years, the miracle of „Hanukkah“ has been celebrated with a special, eight (instead of seven) branched menorah. The ninth holder was called „shamash“ (literally „helper“ or „servant“) intended for the so-called „auxiliary candle“, which was used to light the main eight candles. Thus, the menorah with nine (8+1) lamps became a symbol of the eight-day Jewish holiday „Hanukkah“ and commemorated the miracle of the rededication of the Jerusalem Temple by the Maccabees in December 165 BC. * This Jewish holiday probably coincided with the winter solstice to evoke the feeling of returning light and create a holiday celebrating the „eternal flame“. (answer from AI) - „When Judah and his brothers went to the Temple, he saw the destruction and defilement that Antiochus caused upon it and was overwhelmed by grief (I Maccabees 4:36-40). On 25 December 165 BCE, after months of work clearing and cleaning, the Temple was finally rededicated to God. Their celebrations continued for eight days as is known to this day as the celebration of Hanukkah.“ (citing from:
The Maccabean Revolt - World History Encyclopedia)
- Daniel 8: 13,14 + Revelation 1: 12,13 – This may be a hint that we are in the setting of the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, when multiple („seven golden lampstands “) lamps were lit, burned, and shone. The miracle of the miraculous illumination of the Jerusalem Temple occurred on the day of the winter solstice – December 22, 165 BC (in December 165 BC King Antiochus IV was on a military campaign in Phoenicia; in 164 BC he participated in military campaigns in the East in Parthia and Armenia, fell ill and was subsequently ignominiously killed). The calculation: December 22, 165 BC + 2300 years = December 22, 2136 AD.
- Matthew 24: 36 + Revelation 1: 1 –
„ But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.“ (Matthew 24: 36) -
„The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him“ (Revelation 1: 1). From the time of Jesus’ previous statement to the writing of the book „Revelation of John“ – 66 or 67 years have passed. - Would it not be right to consider that God the Father has revealed to Our Savior – the Lord God Jesus Christ and the time of the last events? – the only thing that remains for Jesus Christ to reveal to His Church.
- Revelation 1: 1 –
„The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him“ (cf. Revelation 1: 1). When the sealed scroll of the prophet Daniel is opened (see Revelation 10: 2), the events or
„the things which must soon take place “ (cf. Revelation 1: 1).
- Revelation 1: 3,10 –
„for the time is near“ (cf. Revelation 1: 3). This can only be a credible statement if we accept a transfer at the very beginning of „the Lord's day“, otherwise about 2000 years of time are by no means close! With John, after Revelation 4: 1, we are brought to the beginning of „the Lord's day“. And indeed John himself confirmed that he was (supernaturally) taken by the Holy Spirit into the „the Lord's day“. (This means that preterist, historicism, idealism, eclectic (mixed), approaches to the interpretation of the book of Revelation should all be discarded as basic. Only the futuristic interpretation should remain relevant, namely – „the Lord's day“ is coming and John was caught up at its very beginning.)
- Revelation 1: 10 – „in Κυριακή Ημέρα“ (in the „Lord’s Day“; cf. Matthew 12: 8) this could mean that John received the vision on the sabbath (which has no significance for the prophecy) but upon closer and more detailed analysis, this can be perceived as an additional time indication given to us through John, namely – that the beginning of „the Lord’s Day“ will begin (will be) on the Sabbath day. * December 22, 2136 AD will be on Saturday (AI).
Thus, taking into account what is described in Daniel Ch. 8, it seems that Revelation 1: 1 directly sends us to the day: - December 22, 2136 AD, Saturday.
- What time period do the four horses of Revelation Ch. 6 indicate?
- Revelation 6: 2,3,5,7 – * Saturn (a white horse) will be visible against the constellation of Sagittarius on December 22, 2136 (AI) * Mars (a red horse) will be visible against the constellation of Aries in 2137 (AI), * The Moon (a black horse) will be visible against the constellation of Libra in 2137 and * the planet Mercury (an ashen horse) will be visible against the constellation of Capricorn in the night sky in the period September – October 2137 BC (AI). Again „Aries“ and „Goat“ before the time (3.5 years) of the
„little horn“ (the Judeo-Zionist Antichrist) with his blasphemous words, and deeds with/on the Messiah Jesus Christ and His Church, because of which the Heavenly Court will sit. –
„He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time. But the court will sit {for judgment,} and his dominion will be taken away, annihilated and destroyed forever.“ (Daniel 7: 25,26).
It is likely that the four horsemen of Revelation chapter 6 refer to the time from December 22, 2136 AD to September 23, 2137 AD.
- What date do Revelation 11:1 and 12:1 indicate?
- Daniel 12: 5 + Revelation 11: 1; 12: 1 – The measurement of the Sanctuary was traditionally carried out on the day of the autumnal equinox. From the deepest antiquity the so-called „zero meridian“ located under the feet of the constellation „Gemini“ –
„two others were standing“ (see Daniel 12: 5), divides the sky in half, so that on both sides there are 6 zodiac signs. * Jachin and Boaz – the two pillars-witnesses, represented the astronomical landmark-representation on/at the Earth of „The twins of Gemini“; they indicated the place where Heaven and Earth were sacredly connected – the Temple on Mount Zion in the city of Jerusalem. The very specific astronomical configuration (see Revelation 12: 1) described by John is formed (assembled in the sky) extremely rarely (and is not visible without special telescopes, because it is formed only for a few hours during the day, when the Sun is shining) and for the last nearly a thousand years it has occurred in the sky only 5 times: - on September 14, 1056, - on September 5, 1293, - on September 6, 1483, - on September 24, 1827 and for the last time - on September 23, 2017. This great (i.e., symbolic; significant; key to recent events) sign in the sky will probably be repeated again 120 years after the last time, i.e. - on (around) September 23, 2137.
- As if Revelation 11:1 and 12:1 indicate the date - September 23, 2137 AD.
- When should everything described in Daniel 12:11,12 be completed?
Revelation 13: 5 + Isaiah 6: 1-5 + Daniel 12: 11,12 –
„There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him.“ (Revelation 13: 5) - The prophet Isaiah (see Isaiah 6: 1-5) last testified that he was an eyewitness (see Isaiah 6:1-5) of a similar appearance [in Greek „Επιφάνια“ („Epiphany“), i.e. „Manifestation (of God’s Glory)“; (in contrast to the glory of King Antiochus IV Epiphanes, centuries later)] in the Holy of Holies of the Temple, in the city of Jerusalem, Israel, in 740 BC. * From 740 BC. + 2880 years (360x8=2880 years - A Great Year of the Holy Guardian - the Planet Venus or Archangel Michael) would take us to 2141 AD (there is no zero year). - According to the revelation of Daniel 12: 11,12 – somewhere in the late spring or early (the first day of) summer of June, 2141 AD –
„all these {events} will be completed“ (cf. Daniel 12: 7).
- The „little horn“ will be in power for 42 months or 3.5 years – from September 23, 2137 AD to March 21, 2141 AD. After another 75 days, God will finish with the forces of Evil and the thousand years (the Millennium) will begin (see Daniel 7: 26,27).
