Are there any others out there who see the end of the 'times of the Gentiles' when Rev 11:15 is fulfilled in the future..?
Just wondering, it's an interesting topic.
As mentioned, I do believe that the 'times of the Gentiles' began with Nebuchadnezzar as outlined in Daniel... but what about the end of Gentile dominion...?
Hello Ghost air, Yes, there are others out here who think that the "times of the Gentiles" has been fulfilled after Rev.11;15 or the year 2000AD. I agree it's just as Daniel's numbers show it.
Daniel told us that the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar would fall and lose his kingdom. Historically this occurred about 520BC. Therefore Daniel 4;33 tells us that " the same hour was the thing fulfilled."
But it also tells us that after his fall " a full seven times would pass over." Here the book of Revelation calculatively shows us that 7 times equals 2520 years. So therefore Daniel's predicted "seven times" ended in 2000AD.
In Dan.12;6 he asked " how long shall it be to the end of these wonders?" In Dan.12;7 he is answered " for a time, times and a half, and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people." Daniel then says " I heard, but I understood not." Dan.12;8 " And he said, Go they way Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end."
So Daniel could not know the meaning of " a time, times and a half" until the end.
Well today we can know. Only with the last book of the Bible, the end, have we all been able to figure out exactly how much " a time, times and a half really is." This is because the book of Revelations is the "end book" and also because we passed the time of the end in the year 2000AD. The 7th angel has sounded in Rev;11;15 just as you said Ghost air. So we have therefore entered the 7th millennium.
So taking the numbers from this end book of Revelations we can now figure out what Daniel in his time could not.
Rev.11 and Rev.12 by carefully studying them tell us;
3 1/2 times= 42 mts.=1260 days. And Dan.4;16 told us that "seven times shall pass over." So here are the calculations;
The Babylonian exile was in 586 BC.
...they were released after -70 years.
.....................................516 BC.
............................add the 4 years chronological update*
.....................................520 BC.
..............................add 2520 years if 3 1/2 = 1260 then 7 times = 2520.
So Dan.12;6 answer is .....2000 AD.
*James Ussher discovered the 4 years chronological update and it has been installed in every Protestant Gideons Bible you find in hotel rooms ect.
also;
.............there are 360 days in a Babylonian year, Daniel was in Babylon.
.............................7 times of Dan.4;16
.........................2520 - the same number as above.
.............." O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and
.....................knowledge of God." Rm.11;33
......................................................................................................
I have drawn out a chart showing how this fits into our 6000 year history.
3000AD..............THE SECOND DEATH (Judgment day - Rev.20;12)......
..............KINGDOM OF HEAVEN on earth in the E.U. Rev.20;6
....................................................(Christian's millennium)
2000AD.........................................................................................
..............KINGDOM OF HEAVEN within you. Luke 17;21
JESUS CHRIST crucified....................................................................
..............KINGDOM on earth - 12 Tribes of Israel live in promised land.
...........................................................(under Moses's Law)
2000BC.........................................................................................
.............Mankind lives out of Eden with the Serpent(survival of fittest)
............."cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it
..............all the days of thy life." Gen.3;17
4000BC..........Adam and Eve farming in Mesopotamia before leaving........
I would be pleased to hear your opinions about this. dan b
