Verse 40 “And at the [fixed or appointed] time of the end shall the king of the south [Egypt] push at him: and the king of the north [England] shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen [the Egyptian Mamelukes, etc.], and with many ships [the English forces consisted of a navy under Admiral Nelson]; and he [Napoleon] shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over [victoriously].” “The “king of the south” was…
What part of Daniel 11 specifically points to the date 1799? Verse 40 pinpoints Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt as marking the date 1799, the beginning of the Time of the End. “And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him [Napoleon]: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind.” Daniel 11 started with Alexander the Great as the head of the horn, or empire that was broken and…
Verse 36 “Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done.” “Napoleon was not a king, but the term king is a general one to indicate a powerful ruler. He did, perhaps, as nearly “according to his will” as any man that ever lived; he…
Verse 31 “Arms shall stand on his part [or, “strong ones out of him stand up“–Young’s translation], and shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the continual sacrifice, and they will set up the desolating abomination.” “This we interpret to mean that, though neither the church nor the civil power succeeded in swallowing up the other, as at one time seemed probable, yet “strong ones” arose, who polluted the fundamental principles both of the civil government and…
The Sage states: We now come to the part of Daniel’s prophecy that Christendom for the most part applies to the second coming of Christ. However, take a look at the evidence and see if that is really the case. “The King (of the north), will exalt –himself above every God and he will prosper until the indignation is finished; for that which is decreed will be done” Dan 11:36. The third Macedonian War, June, 168 B.C.E., brought victory to Rome, and…
Continued from our previous post. The Sage states: The eleventh chapter is complicated as it becomes a back and forth confrontation between the two countries now designated as king of the North or king of the South. The last King of the North, Antiochus the 4th, did “not stand, for schemes” were “devised against him—those who eat his choice food will destroy him” Dan 11:25, 26. Both Syria and Palestine declined in power and both were eventually made province of…
Determining the Facts “Seventy weeks are determined For your people and for your holy city, To finish the transgression, To make an end of sins, To make reconciliation for iniquity, To bring in everlasting righteousness, To seal up vision and prophecy, And to anoint the Most Holy. Know therefore and understand, That from the going forth of the command To restore and build Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street shall be…
“… For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done…” Isa 46:9, 10 “The Bible as a book is unique in that it contains literally hundreds of prophecies that span thousands of years and that have witnessed equally as many fulfillment’s. Other sources may venture opinions or suggest reasonable outcomes of events, but they amount…
“Vision of the Lampstand and Olive Trees” The reason we bring up this particular lesson is due to a statement made by our friend Jacob (on the Bible Students Forum) where he states: “I notice you use reprint quotes to support your thoughts I use to do the same but try now to think out of the box and find the answers through my direct connect by the anointing with and from spirit and mind of Christ.” You are not…
The Great Time of Trouble Habakkuk’s Prophecy Continued Hab 1:9 “They all come for violence; their faces are set like the east wind. They gather captives like sand.” The New Living Translation states it thusly, “On they come, all bent on violence. Their hordes advance like a desert wind, sweeping captives ahead of them like sand.” “Their faces will be set in opposition to the east.” [The east is the direction of the suns rising, and here represents the dawn…
