No problem prophacy, this forum gets heated way to quickly. Im not far from dropping it because of all the constant contention with this subject. Some of these peaple make me instantly madd and that is not good or christian like, its been a good place to sharpen my sword, but little has been learned.
with love in christ
May I say that your reaction to my apology was extraordinarily kind and most generous toward me and I am very thankful to you.
I thought of editing what I had done to you out, but I thought no, that would just be a cover up on my part and it can stand as a reminder to me in the future.
Also when I had realised the full dimensions of what I had done, I didnt want to wait to apologies to you as I wanted to put it right straightaway and face the music so to speak
but I should have said that I apologies unreservedly
. but got that wrong in my haste, I asked you to forgive me unreservedly.
When I read that I thought thank goodness you took it the way I meant it and not the way it was written.
By the way brother, dont even think of going, I saw you use 2 Peter 3:-10. and put your argument strongly and convincingly against the idea of two advents of Christ.
I also saw you do the same thing with alwayfaithful regards the souls of those that die using Revelation 6: 10.
Man, that was a knockout bit of Bible, work which he didnt see coming, and he was so gob smacked we didnt see him going.
I reckon that dear poor soul is still smarting from it, as sad as that is he needed that to happen and if you hadnt been here, he would still be calling people sinners that simply would not agree with him.
I shouldnt say this, but there are certain people that raise ones blood pressure and when I think of you giving that decisive knockout verse of Rev 6: 10, it put a smile on my face and when I think about it cant stop smiling,,, did I say smiling? I meant I was really laughing!!
That made my day.
May I speak to you and in doing so explain why I think the way I do about Daniel?
I do claim the right to be wrong because the book of Daniel, was to be sealed.
I need to do this because I do get a good verbal thumping most of the time and it is making me tired after 29 years of it.
I just want to say that I was told of Daniel, by a Pastor called Charles E Wheeling an American from Alabama.
He told me at one of his seminars which only got a response of very few people after he was booted out of our same denominational church because he dare question them with the Bible, unfortunately as conscience dictated, I was not long to leave, but that was 29 years ago and since then this man has stayed fluid and not set in his growing understanding of Daniel.
The guy never has much money, never asks for it yet sends out Bibles to all countries.
From the age of about six he used to look at the pictures of the beasts from a picture Bible concerning the prophecies of Daniel, and was hooked by them.
His grandmother placed the book where he would see it.
So, you may ask. What am I trying to say?
Well, he has a photographic memory and can pull the Bible, together and has taught many to study in the same way.
However not trusting myself or any idea from whomever, I check the ideas out with the book, and have been doing so for those 29 years and Im still learning.
When I study, Daniel I try to do so overall and then in very minute detail of what the messenger actually says and try grasping every aspect of the events in detail that are prophesied.
Sometimes I dont get it right and start again reading it slower to digest it.
There are parallels and patterns that I look for and all must fit in every detail or Im not seeing it.
Such things as the stated time Ie time of the end etc for instance, concerning certain visions.
So I place that event at that specific time, so from there I move on through the progression of Daniel.
I note that Daniel 7: 5 starts with a lion with eagles wings and what happens to his wings and heart and talks of other beasts and ends with the kingdom of God being given to the Saints, so from that I see Daniel 7, firstly as an overall picture to be explained in the following chapters of Daniel.
So to Daniel 8.
I look for the given geographical locations of these events within each vision, Ie Ulai river and note it is in Iran, today, which is called the Karun river. I also note from where Daniel, is looking at these events.
The durations of all these events in the whole book of Daniel, must also be able to come together and fit by simply reading what the Bible, says.
The characters involved that are driving these events along, must have a motive, so I look for them.
Also from where certain powers rush from and go to and whom they meet and there frame of mind Ie Choler/anger, of the rough goat because the ram is pushing has obviously been doing something to anger the rough goat from the West.
A cause and effect situation getting out of hand when the ram pushes too far in three named directions
I had a dilemma with the ID of the goat, It would not fit the picture and it took me months to find out why, until I found from the Aramaic what Yavan pronounced
(yav-wah) meant and Greeks is not it, using the (Septuagint) Aramaic - Greek = English is not helpful in this case.
It was when the ID of the rough goat came into place as being Gentile nations or nation of Gentiles found in the Nelsons library, I realised that Westerners would be an acceptable translation which placed the rough goat at the time of the end, coming from the West where the entire vision changed and left me with my mouth gaping.
To be fair to my son, he checked out the historic idea and found that Alexander fought the Medo/Persians on the plains of Arbella around 331BC.
So from what he understood, the plains of Arbella, were over 1000 miles away from the Ulai that is an integral geographical part of the vision!
We knew by then that the historical Greek empire, was not the correct power stipulated. Neither the place or Time of the end specified. It was an application at the least.
I also looked at the ID of the horn, and saw what he did to the Saints and what was taken from the horn enabled us with others to ID him, and the beast with the mortal wound also.
We looked to see if in the overview of Daniel 7 the Lion, with Eagles wings that loses his Eagles wings, and his lions heart for that of a mans, could be clearly linked with the powers that performed those deeds laid out by the vision in Dan 8: concerning the rough goat.
When studying Daniels visions and noting their allotted limiting time spans for certain events and at what time period they were concerned which Gabriel, had stipulated to Daniel, by saying understand o son of man the vision concerns the time of the end.
I found it was like being a detective only I didnt like the way this was going!
After the basics were done, I was very uncomfortable when realising what we were in for, and I mean in for it.
At that time, I looked for evidence of a link with the events going down around me.
There werent any!
Well, it was 29 years ago.
However now these signs are coming thick and fast from all directions.
I noted of the three beasts, two the lion/eagles wings USA/GB alliance and the bear, could be identified readily as Russia, however the leopard at the moment I think will be China, but please dont hold me to that but its sort of shaping up that way.
I noted the greatest power ever to grace the Earth The Gentle giant the United States of America, and noted its symbol, Eagle I thought Eagles wings?
Lion
Britain. Alliance, lion with eagles wings?
Bear
Russia
. Leopard maybe
China?
The rough goat coming from the West deals with the horn that comes up first on the ram Iraq, as the Bible, says?
The higher horn that comes up later which is named Iran, on that ram thats pushing as Iran, is now doing?
You know Brother inhisdebt, When Charles, spoke of these things using the Bible, all those years ago it was just Bible, it almost verged on the fanciful
Now it is staring me right in my face and there is a lot more Bible, stuff going on, than told by Daniel, on our planet and I thought well Im moving out of town and did 9 years ago way up from the sea.
All this stuff going on has been explained to Daniel, over 2400 years ago and it is heart breaking that for 29 years not many people are want to hear it.
I say heart breaking because they maybe in danger of some kind and nobody wants to see that happen to anyone.
Thanks for listening to me ramble on inhisdebt, I appreciate that and thank you for it.
May God, bless you and your family.
