"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." (1 Corinthians 15:51-52)                                                                                                 "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works." (Titus 2:13-14)                                                                                                 "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." (Revelation 21:8)                                                                                                


PROPHETIC OVERVIEW

Introduction

Biblical prophecy is the crown of Bible proofs. It demonstrates the absolute trustworthiness of the Word of God. There are multitudes of prophecies that have been fulfilled precisely as predicted, unlike Nostradamus and the vague predictions of other false prophets. Likewise, today there are many Bible prophecies being fulfilled. Included below are overviews on some of the prophetic themes of our day:

      1.   Israel
      2.   Temple Worship
      3.   Gog and Magog
      4.   Revived Roman Empire
      5.   The Increase of Knowledge
      6.   The Mark of the Beast
      7.   The Abomination of Desolation
      8.   The Mystery of Iniquity
      9.   Mystery Babylon
      10. The Days of Noah
      11. Perilous Times
      12. The Beginning of Sorrows

God's Time Piece: Israel

God typifies the Hebrew people as "the apple of His eye" (Deut. 32:10; Zec. 2:8), because He loves and protects them as one would the pupil of their own eye. These Hebrew people are the nation of Israel. They are a microcosm typifying the rest of mankind. They were chosen of God to be the people through whom He gave both His written Word (Rom. 3:1-2) and His incarnate Word, Jesus Christ (John 1:1, 14).
Israel's half brother was Ishmael. Abraham had only these two sons. Ishmael was the father of many of the Arabian peoples (Gen. 25:12-16). Isaac fathered Israel, and God promised the land of Canaan, or Palestine as it is variously called to Israel (Psalm 105:9-12; Gen. 17:19, 26:3, 28:13; Deut. 30:3-5). This land of Israel is focal point of the final conflict of the ages. "For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land." (Joel 3:1-2)
Israel is also God's time piece. These people have been fulfilling prophecy for thousands of years (Deut. 28; Gen. 12:1-3). We know that we are in "the latter days" from observing the Nation of Israel (Matt 24:32-34; Deut. 4:30, 31:29; Jer. 23:20, 30:24; Ezek. 38:8, 16; Dan. 2:28; Hos. 3:5; Rom. 11:25). Daniel 9:24-27 is an amazing prophecy of the timing of events of the Hebrew people from the captivity in Babylon (605 B.C.) on to the seven year Tribulation (20?? A.D.). It tells of the rebuilding of the Temple that had been destroied by the Babalonians; it gives the exact time of the Messiah's first coming; it prophesies of the destruction of the rebuilt Temple a second time. All these things happened with 100% accuracy. Only the last verse remains unfulfilled. Daniel 9:26 predicted that Messiah would be "cut off" or put to death. Just days prior to fulfilling this prophecy the Lord Jesus prophesied again concerning the destruction of Temple and the desolation of the nation of Israel (Matt. 23:38 - 24:2). This was fulfilled in 70 A.D. just 40 years after the Lord spoke the words. However, Jesus also prophesied of the restoration of Israel to the Land just prior to His second coming to judge the world. Using the "fig tree" (Hos. 9:10) as a symbol for Israel He said: "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." (Matt. 24:32-34) That last verse, Daniel 9:27 says, "And he ["the prince that shall come" (v. 26) who is the Antichrist] shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate." This verse is speaking of the soon coming Tribulation when the Antichrist will confirm a 7 year covenant between many nations (i.e Israel and the Arabs), allowing the Jews to return to the Old Testament Temple sacrificial system, but he will break the covenant in the middle of the 7 year Tribulation and sit himself up as God in the new Temple in Jerusalem. In Matthew 24:8 Jesus says, "All these [antichrists, wars, famines, pestilences, and earthquakes] are the beginning of sorrows" (cf. vv. 3-8) and again in verse 33 He said, "... when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near ..." All what things? Answer: 1) "the beginning of sorrows" (vv. 4-8), 2) persecution (v. 9), 3) doctrines of devils (v. 11), 4) perilous times (vv. 10, 12), and 5) "the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet" which will include the mark of the beast and the New World Order (v. 15). The Lord Jesus Christ said, "... when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." (Matt. 24:32-34) Since the re-establishment of Israel on May 14, 1948 all 5 of theese signs have been increasing, and Israel itself is a sixth sign of the soon coming of Christ (Matt. 24:3).

Temple Worship Revived

Matther 23:37 - 24:2: "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."
Daniel 9:26-27: "... Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: 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. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."
Revelation 11:1-2: "And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 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."
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4: "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."

Gog and Magog Attack

Ezekiel 38:

      1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,   2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,   3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:   4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:   5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:   6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.   7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
      8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.   9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:   11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,   12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.   13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
      14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?   15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:   16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
      17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?   18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.   19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;   20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.   21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.   22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.   23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.

The Revived Roman Empire

Daniel 9:26-27: "... Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: 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. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."

The Increase Of Knowledge

Danirl 12:4: "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased."

The Mystery of Iniquity

The Bible speaks of "the mystery of iniquity" that was already at work in the Apostle Paul's day (2 Thess. 2:7). Paul tells us that this "the mystery of iniquity" has to do with the preperation for world domination of "the son of perdition" who he also called, "that man of sin" (2 Thess. 2:3). The Apostle John calls him "the Antichrist" (1 John 2:18) and "the Beast" (Rev. 11:7, 13:4). Paul said this about this mystery of iniquity:
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved." (2 Thess 2:3-10)
Today the Luciferians and their dupes are in the final preparations for their New World Order, but it will not be allowed full power until all born again believers in whom the Holy Spirit lives are "taken out of the way" (2 Thess 2:6-7, cf. 2:1). The Holy Spirit "... who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed ..." (2 Thess 2:7-8) When that occurs the NWO's man, the Antichrist who is the rider of the White Horse of Revelation 6, will be loosed.
"And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer." (Rev. 6:1-2) "And they [the world] worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." (Rev. 13:4-6)
And three and one half years after this Antichrist Beast is loosed onto the scene he will break the covanent he will make with many (Dan. 9:27) and will "... exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God the infamous "mark of the beast" financial system will be implemented.

The Mark of the Beast

Revelation 13:11-18: "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and ... he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast .... And he doeth great wonders ... And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast .... And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."

Mystery Babylon

Revelation 17:

1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 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.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

As The Days Of Noah

Perilous Times

The Beginning Of Sorrows

The Abomination of Desolation

Mark 13:14: "But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains."
Daniel 9:26-27: "And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: 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. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."
Daniel 11:31-33: "And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days."
Daniel 12:10-13: "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 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. But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days."

THE PROPHECY OF SEVENTY WEEKS (Daniel 9:24-27):

In Daniel 9:24-27 we are given one of the most amazing prophecy in the Word of God, the prophecy of 70 weeks. It gives the precise timing of the first coming of Christ over 500 years in advance.
The Lord’s first coming, unlike His second coming, was to take away the sin of the world (John 1:29). The next time He will come in judgment of the world (Acts 17:31; Isa 11:4; Rev 19:16).
The prophecy of 70 weeks tells us that from "the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince" (Dan 9:25), which was given in 445 BC by King Artaxerxes of Persia (Neh 2:1-8), would be 69 weeks of years or 483 years (69 x 7 = 483) which brought us precisely to the days of Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus came exactly as prophesied in these verses 24 to 26 and was "cut off, but not for Himself" (Dan 9:26), "for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken" (Isa 53:8).
With this cutting off of Christ also came the stopping of the time clock of the prophecy of 70 weeks with 7 years, the final week, yet unfulfilled. Israel should have known the time of the first coming of the Messiah, but we can not know the time of His second coming, because the Lord Jesus Himself said, "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father" (Mark 13:32).
We also learn from verse 26 that "the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary." From this statement we understand that "the prince that shall come" will be a Roman, because it was the Romans that "destroy[ed] the city and the sanctuary" in 70 AD. "Messiah the Prince" (Dan 9:25) and "the prince that shall come" are two different princes. We all know who the Messiah is, but "the prince that shall come" is the Antichrist Beast of Revelation 13.
The last verse of Daniel 9 says that this Beast "shall confirm the covenant with many for one week" or 7 years. This covenant will set God’s time clock of the 70 weeks back in motion, and the final 7 years of the Old Testament Dispensation will be played out. Biblical years had 360 days to the year, so the Tribulation will be a total of 2520 days (360 x 7 = 2520). Daniel and Revelation breaks this time period in half seven times, sometimes calling it 1260 days (Rev 11:3, 12:6), sometimes 42 months (Rev 11:2, 13:5), and sometimes "a time, and times, and half a time" (Rev 12:14; Dan 7:25, 12:7). The first half of the Tribulation will be 1260 days or 42 months long, and the last half will be of equal duration (1260 x 2 = 2520 days) (42 x 2 = 84 months). Christ will return to the earth 2,520 days or 84 months later.
Sometime shortly after the Rapture the Beast will confirm the prophesied 7 year covenant with many peoples (especially between Israel and the Islamic nations) which will allow the reinstitution of Temple sacrifices on Mount Moriah. However, "in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease." The Antichrist will break the covenant 3 1/2 years into the Tribulation. Then he will cause "the overspreading of abominations" and because of this "he shall make it desolate." By the end of the Tribulation the Temple, Jerusalem, Israel and the whole world will be desolate (Zech 12:2-6, 14:1-4; Isa 24:1-6) People receiving "the mark of the beast" (Rev 16:2) will cause their own desolation and perdition:
Revelation 16:9-11: "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."
It is interesting to note that the words "perdition" and "desolation" are practically synonymous. Webster’s 1828 Dictionary defines them thusly: PERDITION: Entire loss or ruin; utter destruction. ... future misery or eternal death. DESOLATION: The act of desolating destruction or expulsion of inhabitants; destruction; ruin; waste. "Perdition" is generally used in an eternal and spiritual sense whereas "desolation" is used in a physical sense. So the one who’s name is "the son of perdition" (2 Thess 2:4) and who will "go into perdition" (Rev 17:8) will cause the "desolation" of the earth and they that dwell therein (Isa 24:3-6; Rev 3:10, 6:10, 8:13, 11:10, 12:12, 13:8, 12, 14, 17:2, 8).
2 Peter 3:7: "But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men."
When Antiochus Epiphanes (215-164 BC) set up the image of Zeus in the Temple at Jerusalem it was only the forerunner and a picture of the future fulfillment of the prophecy of "the abomination of desolation." It appears that ultimate fulfillment of "the abomination of desolation" is a combination of "the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God" (2 Thess 2:3-4), and also the "image to the Beast" being set up (Rev 13:14-15). The Antichrist proclaiming himself to be God and demanding worship with great authority through the "image to the Beast" will definitely be an abomination of unsurpassed proportions. It is clear that this "Image to the Beast" will use advanced technology, probably consisting of computer, satellite, bio-chip, and Internet technologies. This will be the method he will use for "the overspreading of abominations" to the ends of the earth, and because of "the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate." This"abomination of desolation" could not occur without the technologies for "the overspreading of abominations." Daniel himself said
The Abomination will be "set up" (Dan 12:11) or "placed" (Dan 11:31) and thus will strand (Matt 24:15) just as was the case with Nebuchadnezzar’s image (Dan 3:1-3).
Let me add that this "abomination" is also spoken of in Daniel 9:27 where it says: "And he [the Beast] shall confirm the covenant with many for one week [7 years]: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."
A 7 year "covenant" reinstituting Temple worship will be "confirm[ed] with many" [Jews, Islamic nations, and perhaps others]. This will mark the beginning of the 7 year [2520 day] Tribulation. These 2520 days are broken down into two 3 1/2 periods in Revelation. The two periods are called 1260 day (Rev 11:3, 12:6), 42 months (Rev 11:2 13:5), and "a time, and times, and half a time" (Rev 12:14; cf Dan 7:25, 12:7). It should be noted that these time periods are based on the Biblical lunar 30 months.
"Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed."
Then Daniel 12:11-12 says this: "And from the time that the daily sacrifice 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."
By taking Daniel 8:14, 9:27 and 12:11 together, this seems like the probable interpretation: After "the covenant with many" is "confirmed" it will take 7 months and 10 days (220 days) to build the Temple on Mount Moriah again and to begin the "daily sacrifice" (2300 + 220 = 2520 days). During these 220 days of preparing the Temple and for 1040 days following it’s completion God’s "two witnesses ... shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days" (Rev 11:3) (220 + 1040 = 1260 days). Then "from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days." That is, there will be 1260 days to the return of Christ plus another 30 days, and then an additional another 45 days (1260 + 30 =1290 + 45 = 1335 days) for the raising of the Old Testament and Tribulation saints, the gathering of God’s "elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other" (Matt 24:31), the gathering of the nations and the separating of the sheep from the goats (Matt 25:31-46), the cleansing the Temple (Ezek 45), and the marriage supper of the Lamb (Rev 19:7-9).


THE FIRST PROOF OF GOD'S WORD:
FULFILLED PROPHECY

BIBLICAL PROPHECY
BEING FULFILLED IN OUR DAY

"Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together." (Isaiah 41:23)

"Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them." (Isaiah 44:6-7)

"Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else." (Isaiah 45:21-22)

"Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure." (Isaiah 46:10)

"Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world." (Acts 15:18)

"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. ... I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." (Revelation 1:8, 18)

Until our generation it would have been impossible, excepting miraculous intervention by God, for many of the prophecies of the Bible to be fulfilled. But the infallible Word of God prophesied of the things that would come with 100% accuracy.

For example, the Bible told us over and over of the reestablishment of the Nation of Israel (Amos 9:14-15; Ezekiel 34:12-13, 36:23-24, 37:21-22; Isaiah 49:12; Jeremiah 16:15, 23:8, 30:3), and foretold that God would make "... Jerusalem a cup of trembling ... and ... a burdensome stone for all people" (Zachariah 12:2-3). The Arab - Israeli issue has been in the news for many years. The Islamofascists' unnatural hatred of the Jews the has been the sole reason of this conflict. It will continue to escalate and culminate in Armageddon.

God speaking to the Old Testament Prophet Daniel concerning the Book that bears his name said, "... seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased" (Daniel 12:4). This verse is being continually fulfilled before in our lifetime. There has been more scientific and technological advances since WW II than in all prior human history combined. There has also been a tremendous increase in travel during our lifetime. Mankind has now arrived at "the time of the end" and the Old Testament prophecies are becoming more and more clear.

These are but two prophetic themes spoken of in the Bible that are being fulfilled in our day. Prophecy continues to be fulfilled before our eyes. To read more about Bible prophecy being fulfilled today follow this link.

FUFILLED PROPHECY

JESUS CHRIST IN PROPHECY

There are multitudes of fulfilled prophecies concerning places, people, and events that prove beyond doubt that the Bible is the inspired, infallable Word of God. The Almighty has given us these proofs to get our attention in order to point us to the method of salvation He has appointed for people.

There are over 300 prophecies that were fulfilled at Jesus Christ's first coming. These too prove that the Bible is God's supernatural revelation to man. God has proven to manking that He has given us His Word, and His Word points us to Jesus Christ as the only way of salvation.
