Why is this verse in Daniel?

This is toward the end of an exchange between Daniel and Jesus (vs 7). Daniel is asking one last question but Jesus says, “Enough said.” However, He does give one more tidbit that will be of help to those who have to deal with that last great fight. He includes some time factors and a pointed blessing.

Two observations:
1) It is common for the meaning of a prophetic statement to become meaningful when it is useful to be meaningfull. It appears we are not yet in a place where we will receive understanding and comfort from this promise and blessing. Its meaning is still sealed. It will prove to be a real comfort to those in the dire straits of those days. As a precedent play back Daniel 9 as the time was approaching for the release of God’s people from Babylon.
2) We have been told there will be no more time setting. Toss that. There will be no more time setting in the context of preaching the gospel and the hope of His return. These time stamps are for the saints in dire straits and their encouragement.

I agree with some of your above statements. I agree that when the meaning of a prophetic statement needs to be known, God will make it known to His saints. When a truth is about to become useful, He will shine light on it.

I also agree that this statement is for the saints that are alive prior to the Second Coming. It will provide encouragement and hope.

A time is coming when Jesus will end His intercession on behalf of the world. At that time, Jesus will cease from the daily work He has been doing on behalf of humanity ever since sin began. He will no longer stand between God's wrath and a guilty world.

When He steps aside, a great earthquake will shake the Earth. This event will mark the end of Christ's corporate ministry in the Heavenly sanctuary. From the day that Christ's daily intercession ceases until the devil establishes a universal death decree for God's people, there will be 1,290 days. Blessed are the saints who patiently endure the Great Tribulation to reach the end of the 1,335 days.

God wants His people to know His plans so they will not be overwhelmed with loss, disappointment and depression. Therefore, God had the book of Daniel written for our generation so that coming events will confirm our faith instead of destroying our faith.

Hi Midnight and to All:

The text does not start with that number and Revelation must be included. Remember line upon line and here little and there a little is how the Bible works. You must put it together to understand with the help of the HOLY SPIRIT.

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 FOREVER 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. 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. And from the time that the daily sacrifice (Continual should be instead of daily and sacrifice was added by the scribes. The Continual is ELOHIM'S Law and Commandments.) shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. Dan 12:7 -12

But the court which is without the Temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. And I will give power unto my Two Witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. Rev11:2, 3

And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. Rev 17:12

The time we do not know is when the Time of Trouble will begin. But the Bible clearly tells you how long it will last. 3 1/2 literal years is depicted this time. It also tells you that the beast will only rule for actually two months and 15 days that this time is probation. Because all the saints from Adam to the Great multitude are sealed in the Book of Life! Now Revelation calls this time an hour. Prophetically an hour is 60 days so if you subtract 1,335 days from 1,260 days you get 75 days or 2 month and 15 days.

And they heard a GREAT VOICE from Heaven saying unto them, COME UP HITHER. And they ascended up to Heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in Heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdoms of our YAHWEH, and of HIS MESSIAH; and HE shall reign forever and ever. And the Temple of ELOAH was opened in Heaven, and there was seen in his Temple the Ark of HIS Testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail. Rev 11:12, 15, 19

And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a GREAT VOICE out of the Temple of Heaven, from the Throne, saying, IT IS DONE. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. Rev 16:18

And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our ELOAH, all ye HIS servants, and ye that fear HIM, both small and great. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for YAHWEH ELOHIM omnipotent reigneth. Rev 19:5, 6

These passages are very clear that the FATHER is speaking that everything is done, the wise will understand but the wicked will not. The FATHER will call out the time of HIS SON appearance and EGW reported it will take about two weeks. The last fifteen days is a blessing we must realize that all of Revelation is dealing with the present Rev Chapters Four until the end presents the FATHER on HIS THRONE in the Sanctuary and the time begins at 1844 and none of these Chapters have anything to do with the Ottoman Empire. The Time is at Hand wake up brothers and sisters before it is too late!

Blessings,
