I believe that there will be events that will typify the time of the
exhalation of King Solomon vs Adonijah.

1 Kings 1

:5

Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.

  • Hi Joel talks about the great day of the LORD which seems to extend to the tribulation that transitions into the millennium and notes that they have divided His land.
I will also gather all nations,
And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
And I will enter into judgment with them there
On account of My people, My heritage Israel,
Whom they have scattered among the nations;
They have also divided up My land.

In Zech 14 we see Jerusalem is being overrun on the day the LORD comes with His saints. It notes that only half of the city is taken captive. Perhaps the two states solution comes about and half the city in not in control of Israel.

The key to the main point of this prophecy is that in the middle of the week of this covenant the daily sacrifices are stopped. Now Hosea relates the return of the kingdom comes after many days without sacrifices or a king. 2 Thess two states that the man of sin is to be revealed right at the time of the end and he will be revealed in the Temple claiming to be a God and perform lying signs and wonders. This one is destroyed by the brightness of the LORD's coming.

Jesus warned when we see the abomination of desolation occur to flee. It seems likely that the man of sin being revealed is speaking of this same abomination of desolation.

Rev 13 shows that the beast who also is destroyed at the brightness of the coming of the LORD has authority over every tribe tongue kindred and nation for 42 months.

So to tie it together the middle of the week if in years would be exactly 42 months. The covenant is certainly between Israel and the many. The fact that the sacrifice being stopped in the middle of the week is super significant. So there is some connection with the return of the sacrifice and the subsequent stopping of them related to this. On the political side the UN, Vatican, Russia, France and even Trump and Kushner are pushing some sort of two state solution. This is all going to coincide with the man of sin being revealed who will reign 42 months then the LORD comes as predicted.

The "covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles" written of by the prophet Isaiah (Isa. 42:6).

The commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem (Dan. 9:25) went forth by King Artaxerxes to Ezra in 458 BC (Ezr. 7). The first year of King Artaxerxes was 465 BC according to Ptolemy's Canon of Kings, so the seventh year of his reign was 458 BC.

Forty-nine years later (7x7=49) Jerusalem was built, with the street and the wall, even in troublesome times.

Jesus Christ was anointed in the Jordan River sixty-two weeks later (62x7=434) in AD 26. After sixty-two weeks He was cut off, but not for himself. He confirmed the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he caused the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, by being crucified three Passovers after his ministry began, in AD 30.

The three Passovers recorded were:
John 2:13
John 6:4
John 11:55

The Council of Jerusalem was in AD 50. Paul wrote in Gal. 1:18 and Gal. 2:1 that it was 17 years (3+14) from his conversion until the Council of Jerusalem, which puts his conversion at AD 33. Jesus confirmed the "covenant with many" by revealing Himself in Paul so that he might preach among the Gentiles.

Isaiah 42:6–7 reads, "I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

"To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house."

So the seven years prophesied in Dan. 9:27 was fulfilled by Christ's baptism in AD 26, his crucifixion and resurrection in AD 30, to Paul's conversion in AD 33.

Dan. 9:26 goes further by saying, "and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined."

Jesus' people were the lost sheep of Israel. But the Pharisaic Jews were the ones who hung him on the cross. Looking ahead a few hundred years, the Romans became His people. They tolerated Christianity from AD 313 to 1806. Vespasian sent his son, Titus, to destroy the city and sanctuary in AD 70.

Dan. 9:27 reiterates, "and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."

After the temple was destroyed in AD 70, the Eastern Roman Empire used it as a trash heap until the Muslims made it into the Dome of the Rock.

An AGREEMENT between Europe and the MANY that make up the Mediterranean Sea Region that Europe currently doesn't own.

This is the Fourth Beast below {Roman Empire}

peak-of-roman-empire.gif


This is the current European Union Below:
eu-map.jpg


This BELOW will be the E.U. once they have Conquered THE MANY they currently have 7 year Agreements with via the European Neighborhood Policy {ENP}. It now looks like a "CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK" doesn't it ? Like a mans son who looks identical to his father !! Thus the Little Horn arises out of the Fourth Beast, it doesn't mean he arises from Rome, or Europe per se as I once though it meant, it means it looks EXACTLY LIKE the Fourth Beast looked, but the Little Horn himself is born in Greece {which is in the E.U. of course}. If the Land Mass of the Anti-Christ/Little Horn would have looked EXACTLY LIKE the 2nd Beast the Little Horn would have been said to have arisen out of the 2nd Beast, not the Fourth Beast !! The Little Horn Beast is a MAN that is why Daniel 7:11 says his BODY is DESTROYED and the BEAST is then CAST into HELL.

The European Union with the MANY added in.
800px-EU_European_Neighbourhood_Policy_states.svg (1).png


Notice how the Fourth Beast suddenly has a "SON" that looks just like "him" at the bottom ? God is so intelligent we can't comprehend His riddles, but He chooses to reveal them to foolish men who humble themselves before the Almighty God.

The Pharisees were too learned to hear the gems of Jesus. The Disciples heard and understood. How much from God do we miss for the NOISES ? There were two Mary's at a certain feast, one attended the people and Jesus, slaving to serve them, she asked why the other Mary wasn't helping and Jesus basically told her this, Mary {#2} has chosen that GOOD THING, to listen or to hear what Jesus was saying. Let us not miss what God is telling us. I missed them for far too many years. its time for us to hear what God is telling us. The last days are upon us, it a matter of years, not Centuries.

Back in 2014 CIA economist Jim Rickards mentioned that there were seven hundred and ten trillion dollars in the worldwide Derivatives market at that time.

He said that there was about two hundred and ten trillion in the USA Derivatives market then and he feared a one hundred trillion dollar devaluation of the Derivatives market that could spread like a virus to other markets and cause another 1929.

A treaty plus a film series deal with the nation of Israel that will give them their Jerusalem Third Temple and / or their Ezekiel Temple Complex combined with a treaty to turn deserts green with Israeli technology would be a good beginning to getting up out of the pessimism that could so easily result in a Bear Market?????


Senator and CIA Insider Accuse Federal Reserve of Covering Up Secret Bankruptcy


Some potentially useful background information here:


Concept for a Christian documentary starring Ms. Greta Thunberg....


"So how is our problem of continental drying causing global warming? It all has to do with vegetation and sunlight. When sun light hits a plant, it causes a process which we call photosynthesis where the energy from the sun light creates oxygen for us to breathe, water for us to drink, and is stored as sugar for plants and animals to use. When the same sun light hits the soil, all of its energy turns into heat and is radiated back into the atmosphere.. ."

"Therefore, the less vegetation you have on the planet, the more sunlight is being turned into heat and the warmer the planet becomes...."

"Just take a look at any satellite picture of the earth showing heat and you will see that our deserts are the warmest spots on the planet by far. More heat is being generated by just one of the top four or five deserts than by all of our cities combined.... "

"The truth is that you can do more to decrease global warming by just reducing the average temperature for the Sahara Desert by one or two degrees than if we humans completely quit using fossil fuels and returned to the cave…."

"So, how would you start working to resolve this problem? Easy, cool the deserts and get some vegetation growing on them as soon as possible. But the method is much more complex than that. You have to use the prevailing trade winds in relation to the deserts to get the best results as quickly as possible and it will be extremely expensive…."

"Then we build desalination plants along the coast near these water sheds and pipe water to the tops or ridges of the water sheds…"

"We need to start working on this as soon as possible because, if the planet reaches a point to where it is warming faster than our technology can possibly stop or reverse this warming trend, then our planet is lost and all life will cease to exist on this planet within a relatively short period of time. We will need to start with the largest and hottest deserts because cooling them will have the greatest benefit in the least time (Global Warming II by biologist Carl Cantrell)."

Dennis, I don't see any connection between the derivative time bomb and Israel or the temple. I think Deutsche bank is the biggest creator of derivatives, and is in financial trouble - which some say the failure of Deutshce bank could bring down the economies in the rest of the world.

I really did not understand what you are saying above. Could you please clarify?

Basically.... the Bride of Messiah must rise up and up and up and up and up........ and claim her throne.


This is a complex subject........
one way in which the Bride of Messiah could potentially rise up is:

North American churches should each have their own currency!

and.....

Concepts for reality, semi-reality and documentary films that address social issues!


Another part of the formula is for the church to understand the wisdom in this statement by Pastor David Wilkerson.......

"There will be a sudden rush to buy farms, ranches, and homes in the country.

Thousands will attempt to flee from cities, hoping that a return to the land and

nature will provide security. There will be a growing urge to "get away from it

all"---and much money will be invested in land and acreage in rural areas by

people who have secret dreams of raising their own food and cattle and of

becoming self-supporting. The price of open rural land will continue to soar.

Acreage within 100 miles of most major cities will skyrocket out of reach to

all but syndicates." (David Wilkerson, The Vision, page 18,19).

The covenant was already confirmed by Jesus through Paul. It is salvation offered to the gentiles. In Romans 15:8–16, Paul writes:

8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:

9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.

10 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.

11 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.

12 And again, Isaiah saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.

13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,

16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

Paul's conversion was seven years after Jesus' baptism. In the middle of the week Jesus was crucified for our sins. It was Jesus who caused the sacrifice and the oblation to cease because he was the sacrifice for all our sins, not the antichrist. Notice the antichrist/Apollyon/Satan/serpent/dragon/man of sin/lawless one/son of perdition is not mentioned once in Daniel 9. You can't be writing about "Messiah the Prince" in one verse (v. 25), and when in verse 26 it says both "Messiah" for one instance and then "the prince that shall come" in another instance, switch the subject (Messiah) being referred to without grammatically changing the subject. It's the same guy.

The four beasts referred to were four kingdoms that appeared on earth after the fall of the Kingdom of Judah. The Neo-Babylonian Empire was both the first beast and the head of gold from Nebuchadnezzar's dream. The Medo-Persian Empire was both the second beast and the chest and arms of silver. Hellenistic Greece was the third beast and the belly and thighs of bronze. And the Roman Empire was the fourth beast and the legs of iron and feet of mixed iron and clay.

The ten kings, or horns, of the fourth beast were:
I. Pompey
II. Julius Caesar
III. Augustus
IV. Tiberius
V. Caligula
VI. Claudius
VII. Nero
VIII. Galba
IX. Otho
X. Vitellius

Between June of AD 68 and December of 69, the last three (Galba, Otho, and Vitellius) successively rose and fell, the latter overlapping with the July 69 of Vespasian, who is the little horn before whom three fell.

Daniel 7:25 says, "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time." This was right around the time when Julius Caesar changed the Ancient Macedonian calendar to the Julian Calendar. Time, times, and half a time is 3 1/2 years (1 year + 2 years + 1/2 year). Vespasian had control of Judaea from AD 70, when he commanded his son Titus to besiege Jerusalem, until AD 73, when the first Jewish-Roman War ended.

The fourth beast was the Roman Empire. It was slain, and its body destroyed, half in 476 when the goths conquered the Western Roman Empire and the other half in 637 when the Rashidun Caliphate conquered the Eastern Roman Empire.

Daniel 9:24-27 has NOTHING to do with the Covenant pf Jesus' blood, that just bad eschatology, its about the Anti-Christ and his AGREEMENTS with the MANY in the Region.

You have the Four Beasts right, but the 10 kings wrong. The 10 Kings rule ONE HOUR with the Beast or a short time or 42 months during the end times. Now tell me which one pf those Kings you cited will rule during the end times ? Answer NONE.

Daniel 7:25 is about the End Time Little Horn Beast. The Little Horn is killed and cast into hell see Dan. 7:11 and Rev. 19:20 they match up.

Daniel 7:25 is about the End Time Little Horn Beast. The Little Horn is killed and cast into hell see Dan. 7:11 and Rev. 19:20 they match up.
Pompey, the first horn, invaded and conquered Judaea from the Greeks in 63 BC. The ten kings you mention, who "had not yet received a kingdom, but for one hour received authority as kings along with the beast," were the Rome-Berlin Axis of 1806–1945. There were exactly ten German (or Prussian) kings from the abdication of the Holy Roman Empire until the end of World War II. There were also exactly seven Italian (or Sardinian) kings during the same time span. One of them was assassinated, and his son took over the throne. These kings had not yet received a kingdom because their former Holy Roman territories were politically divided. They are not the same ten kings in Daniel's vision in chapter 7. If they were, the vision in Daniel 7 would also mention the seven heads mentioned in Revelation 13, as well as the ten crowns. Revelation 13 says the seven heads are seven hills on which the harlot sits, and they are also seven kings. There are seven hills surrounding Rome. They are:

I. Aventine Hill
II. Caelian Hillhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caelian_Hill
III. Capitoline Hill
IV. Esquiline Hill
V. Palatine Hill
VI. Quirinal Hill
VII. Viminal Hill

The seven heads are:

I. Napoleon (1805–1814)
II. Victor Emmanuel I of Sardinia (1814–1821)
III. Charles Felix of Sardinia (1821-1831)
IV. Charles Albert of Sardinia (1831–1849)
V. Victor Emmanuel II of Italy (1849–1878)
VI. Umberto I of Italy (assassinated) (1878–1900)
VII. Victor Emmanuel of Italy (1900-1946)

All kings of Italy. Revelation 13:3 says, "One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast." The assassination of Umberto I was that wound to the beast. When his son took over it was healed. The harlot on the beast from the sea is Rome, the great city that rules over the kings of the earth (Rev. 17:18)

The ten horns were:

I. Frederick William III of Prussia (1797–1840)
II. Frederick William IV of Prussia (1840–1861)
III. William I, German Emperor (1871–1888)
IV. Frederick III, German Emperor (1888–1888)
V. Wilhelm II, German Emperor (1888–1918)
VI. Friedrich Ebert (1919–1925)
VII. Hans Luther (1925–1925)
VIII. Walter Simons (1925–1925)
IX. Paul von Hindenburg (1925–1934)
X. Adolf Hitler (1934–1945)

All kings of Germany. The Holy Roman Empire consisted of the territories of Italy and Germany. When that empire fell to Napoleon, the kings fought for the unification of their lands under a new government.

Hitler's holocaust lasted exactly 3 1/2 years, from 1941–1945.

Try this one on for size: the number six in Hebrew is the letter waw (Waw (letter) - Wikipedia).

666 is literally WWW. We now know that to be the World Wide Web, the network that enables online banking and mobile web payments. We are inevitably headed towards a cashless society, but it won't be RFID chips; it will be the smartphone you already hold in your dominant hand. As of 2015 10,000 RFID chips had been sold worldwide. They are invasive and inconvenient. They're only useful for identification. Already more than 45% of consumers who shop online complete their purchases via mobile smartphone, compared to just under 34% who use computers. They are useful and fun and cool and have isolated our children and families by making them slaves to social media on their own separate phones.

Revelation 13:11 says, "Then I saw another beast come up out of the earth. He had two horns like those of a lamb, but he spoke with the voice of a dragon."

Lambs are innocent and cute and perhaps useful but these two kings are liars.

The five largest tech companies in the world, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, and Facebook, all depend on the World Wide Web. Investors value these companies at $3.5 trillion.

Facebook is partnering with between three and five major wireless carriers to provide free, basic mobile phone access to everyone on the planet — with the emphasis on developing countries.

Revelation 13:16–17 says, "He required everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name."

Our phones are essentially idols. We use them for everything. The inventor of the World Wide Web wants "the internet of things," which means your house alarm, thermometer, refrigerator, dish washer, car, etc. will be connected and controlled with the internet on your phone. It sounds neat but our phones have become idols. In some cases, they are the closest thing to God as people will get.

It's the New Covenant confirmed by Jesus in the middle of the 70th week. That ended sacrifice and offering as Jesus became what the Passover Lamb, Day of Atonement, Feast Days, Sabbath Days, and all sin offerings were symbolizing.

The prophecy at Daniel 9:24-27 points to the appearance of the Messiah at the start of the 70th “week” of years (Daniel 9:25) and his sacrificial death in the middle or “at the half” of the final week, thereby ending the validity of the sacrifices and gift offerings under the Law covenant. (Daniel 9:26, 27; compare Hebrews 9:9-14; 10:1-10.) This would mean a ministry of three and a half years’ duration (half of a “week” of seven years) for Jesus Christ.

The “covenant” could not be the Law covenant, for Christ’s sacrifice, three and a half years after the 70th “week” began, resulted in its removal by God: “He has taken it [the Law] out of the way by nailing it to the torture stake.” (Colossians 2:14) Also, “Christ by purchase released us from the curse of the Law…The purpose was that the blessing of Abraham might come to be by means of Jesus Christ for the nations.” (Galatians 3:13, 14) God, through Christ, did extend the blessings of the Abrahamic covenant to the natural offspring of Abraham, excluding the Gentiles until the gospel was taken to them through Peter’s preaching to the Italian Cornelius. (Acts 3:25, 26; 10:1-48) This conversion of Cornelius and his household occurred after the conversion of Saul of Tarsus, which is generally considered to have taken place in about 34 C.E.; after this the congregation enjoyed a period of peace, being built up. (Acts 9:1-16, 31) It appears, then, that the bringing of Cornelius into the Christian congregation took place about the autumn of 36 C.E., which would be the end of the 70th “week,” 490 years from 455 B.C.E.

I haven't read all the responses, so I apologize if this is redundant, but I voted for "the new covenant".

Jeremiah 31:31
Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.

Jeremiah 31:33
"But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD. I will put My law in their minds and inscribe it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.

Hebrews 8:10
For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds, and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.

Acts 2:14-41 ~

Peter Preaches to the Crowd
(Psalm 16:1-11; Joel 2:28-32)

Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, lifted up his voice, and addressed the crowd: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen carefully to my words. These men are not drunk as you suppose. It is only the third hour of the day!c No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:‘In the last days, God says,

I will pour out My Spirit on all people.

Your sons and daughters will prophesy,

your young men will see visions,

your old men will dream dreams.Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days,

and they will prophesy.I will show wonders in the heavens above

and signs on the earth below,

blood and fire and billows of smoke.20The sun will be turned to darkness,

and the moon to blood,

before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord.And everyone who calls

on the name of the Lord will be saved.’dMen of Israel, listen to this message: Jesus of Nazareth was a man certified by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know. He was delivered up by God’s set plan and foreknowledge, and you, by the hands of the lawless, put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross. But God raised Him from the dead, releasing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for Him to be held in its clutches.David says about Him:

‘I saw the Lord always before me;

because He is at my right hand,

I will not be shaken.Therefore my heart is glad

and my tongue rejoices;

my body also will dwell in hope,because You will not abandon my soul to Hades,

nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.You have made known to me the paths of life;

You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’eBrothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that He would place one of his descendants on his throne. Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay. God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.Exalted, then, to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear. For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says:

‘The Lord said to my Lord,

“Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies

a footstool for Your feet.”’fTherefore let all Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ!”When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. This promise belongs to you and your children and to all who are far off—to all whom the Lord our God will call to Himself.”With many other words he testified, and he urged them, “Be saved from this corrupt generation.” Those who embraced his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to the believers that day.g
