you
Now revelation chapter 10
We just finished up with the events of the fifth and sixth trumpet and before we get into the seventh trumpet
God spent some time in chapters 10 11
Just talking about some things that have to do with the seventh trumpet and things that lead up to the seventh trumpet
Look at chapter 10 verse number 1 it says and I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven
Clothed with a cloud and a rainbow was upon his head and his face was as it were the Sun and his feet as pillars
Of fire and he had in his hand a little book open and he said his right foot upon the sea and his left foot on
The earth and cried with a loud voices when a lion roars and when he had cried
Seven thunders uttered their voices
So I want you to get the picture here this mighty
Angel comes down from heaven clove of the cloud rainbow on his head his face is as bright as the Sun
And he comes down and sets one foot on the sea and his left foot on the earth
And he cries with a loud voice is when a lion worth when he had cried
Seven thunders out of their voices and when the seven thunders had out of their voices
I was about to write so these seven thunders that out of their voices when the angel cries out
They're saying something they're giving some information
But for some reason God does not want us to have that information at this time because he says to John actually
I'm sorry the angel tells him it says he was about to write
But he heard a voice from heaven saying unto me seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered and write them not so John
Here's what the seven thunders have to say he goes to write it down
And he's told do not write that down seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered and write them not
This is really interesting because the book of Revelation is so open with us
And it reveals so much to us and God gives us so much information
That it's it's strange here that this is the only place in Revelation where God is withholding some piece of information from us
I'm not sure why it's being withheld
But something that those seven thunders uttered is something that we are not supposed to know about and I've often
Wondered about it and tried to figure it out, but obviously he just doesn't want us to know we'll find out someday
but it says in verse 5 the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven the
same angel and
swear by him that liveth forever and ever
Who created heaven and the things that are there in and the earth and the things that therein are and the sea and the things
Which are there in that there should be time no longer
but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel when he shall begin to sound the
Mystery of God should be finished as he had declared to his servants the prophets now
This ties in heavily with Daniel chapter 12
And I'm gonna take you to Daniel 12 in just a moment in fact if you want to turn there you can because that's where we're
Going in just a moment, but let me say this some people have misunderstood
This statement in chapter 10 where he swears that there shall be time no longer
Some people have misinterpreted that to say well this means that time is going to cease to exist from here on out
That's not what he means at all because after this point
We still have the millennium or the thousand year reign of Christ well if we have a thousand years obviously
We're measuring time so time still exists after the seventh angel sounds the trumpet
But what he's saying is there shall be time no longer
And then there's a colon there
And then it says but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel
When he shall begin to sound the mystery of God should be finished as he had declared to his servants the prophets
And so what he's saying there is that when the seventh trumpet sounds
The time that will be no longer is there will be no more time remaining until the mystery of God is finished
So when the seventh angel begins to sound the seventh trumpet the mystery of God will be finished as he had declared
to his servants the prophets
Now I'm going to get into what that mystery is in a moment, but first of all let's go to Daniel chapter 12
And let's compare what we've seen so far in revelation 10 with what we see in Daniel chapter 12 because there's something very similar in Daniel chapter 12
But I want to start at the beginning of Daniel chapter 12 and go through it verse by verse
It says in Daniel 12 one and at that time
Shall Michael stand up the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people and there shall be a time of trouble
such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time and
At that time thy people shall be delivered everyone that shall be found written in the book so verse one right there
Is just packed with information. Let's break it down slowly here
It says first of all that there shall be a time of trouble
Such as never was since there was a nation even at that same time well compare that to Matthew 24
When the Bible says for then shall be great
Tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time nor nor ever shall be we see that trouble and tribulation
Are often used interchangeably in the Bible for example in 2nd Corinthians chapter 1 it says who comforted us in all our tribulation
That we may be able to comfort them
Which are in any trouble by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God so in 2nd Corinthians 1 he uses trouble and tribulation
Interchangeably throughout the Bible you'll see the words trouble and tribulation used interchangeably
So when he says there should be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time
That is the same period of time that he's referring to in Matthew 24 verse 21 when he says for then shall be great
Tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time nor nor ever shall be so we're dealing with the great
Tribulation well now let's start at the beginning of the verse and read it again and
At that time shall Michael stand up the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people
this is talking about Michael the Archangel it says Michael will stand up and
There shall be a time of trouble such as was not
You know since the world began and so forth because we're tying it in with Matthew 24
Well in Revelation chapter 12
do you remember the scripture about there being a war in heaven and
It says Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and the dragon fought in his angels
That's what's being alluded to in Daniel chapter 12 verse 1 so what the Bible is telling us is that Michael the Archangel is
Going to battle with the devil we read about it in chapter 12 and the devil is going to be cast out of heaven
He's going to be cast down to the earth
And when the devil is cast down to the earth the Bible says that he has great wrath because he knoweth that he hath
But a short time and so when the devil is cast down to the earth
He knows he has a short time
He goes to persecute the woman which brought forth the man child will deal with that in the sermon on revelation 12
But then it says at the end it says the dragon was wroth with the woman last verse of chapter 12 and went to make
War with the remnant of her seed which keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ
And what do we see in the next chapter chapter 13?
But we see Satan making war with the Saints through the Antichrist the dragon or Satan
puts the Antichrist in power to make war with the Saints to make war with God's people and
That is taking place in chapter 13
We see the mark of the beast and all that that is known as the Great Tribulation that period of persecution
People are being killed and beheaded for not taking the mark of the beast and so on and so forth
So that matches perfectly with Daniel chapter 12 because in chapter 12 of Revelation
The devil's cast out of heaven. He goes to make war with the Saints
That's what basically initiates the tribulation is the devil being cast down to the earth and then he goes out to persecute
Though first the woman then the Saints. Okay, and we'll get into that more in the revelation 12 sermon
Now let's look at it in
Daniel 12 one again with that in mind and at that time shall Michael stand up the great prince which standeth for the children
I people we know that's referring to where he fights against the devil cast the dragon out of heaven and
There shall be a time of trouble. So there's the tribulation
Such as never was since there was a nation even to that time and then look at this and at that time now people shall
Be delivered
everyone that shall be found written in the book and that's obviously referring to
Those that are saved that are going to be delivered at that time
So it's a perfect order here devil's cast out of heaven great tribulation
Then the rapture, okay, because it says in verse 2 many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake
That's a resurrection there. Do you see that some to?
Everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt and they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament and they
That turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever so in Daniel chapter 12 verses 1 through 3 here are the events
Michael stands up and and basically fights against the dragon
Cast him out of heaven when he gets down to the earth he goes out to persecute first the woman
Then he persecutes the remnant of her seed that keep the commandments of God in the testimony of Jesus Christ that
Period where he is persecuting the Saints and so forth is called the Great Tribulation
After that
Basically the saved are resurrected everyone whose name is in the book is delivered the rapture takes place
but first the dead in Christ rise then we were to our alive and remain are caught up together with them in the clouds and
And and then and so on and so forth now look at verse 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 now. Here's the tie-in with Revelation 10
Then I Daniel looked and behold there stood other two
the one on the side of the bank of the river and the other on that side of the bank of the river and
One said to the man clothed in linen which was upon the waters of the river
How long shall it be to the end of these wonders 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
Swear by him that liveth forever and ever that it shall be for a time
Times and in half and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people all these things shall be finished
So what do we have here?
we have two angels one of them standing on one side of a river and one of them standing on the other side of the
river and
One of them says to the one on this side of the river
How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
He lifts up his hands to heaven and swears by him that liveth forever and ever
That it shall be for a time and times at half a time
Well, what's interesting is that in Revelation 10?
What do we see an angel standing with one foot on the sea and another foot on the earth?
lifting up his hand to heaven and
Swearing by him that liveth forever and ever that there shall be time no longer
So what I believe is that these two angels standing on either side of the river one of them that says
It shall be for a time and half of times we see in Daniel 12
But then the other angel we see in Revelation 10 on the other side of the river saying there shall be time no longer
So we're dealing with a three and a half year period
between the angel that speaks in Daniel 12 and the angel that speaks in
Revelation chapter 10 and the reason I say three and a half years is that when the Bible says time and times and half a
Time it's referring to three and a half years or three and a half periods of time because time is one right?
Then we have times and then a half a time
So what's one plus two plus a half three and a half and I'll show you that a little bit later in the sermon how?
Time and times and half of times is used synonymously with three years
Now it says that there will be a time and time and half of times
At the end of verse 7 there and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people
All these things shall be finished
And that's similar to the statement in Revelation 10 where he says the mystery of God should be finished as he had declared
To his servants the prophets you say pastor. I said, I don't understand anything that you just said well
Join the club because Daniel didn't understand it either
Because it says in verse number eight and I heard but I understood not so if you don't understand what I've just explained
Well, neither did Daniel at that time and hopefully you'll understand it by the end of the sermon tonight
It says I understood not then said I oh my lord
What shall be the end of these things verse 9 and he said go thy way
Daniel for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end now
I've got good news for you, though
We're living in the time of the end because in Revelation chapter 22 at the very end of the book of Revelation
The Bible says in verse 10 and he said to me seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book for the time is
At hand so at the end of the book of Daniel Daniel said I don't understand these things and God said go thy way
Daniel seal up the words. It's not until the time of the end at the end of Revelation
He says seal not the sayings of the prophecy of the book for the time is at hand and so we today
With the book of Revelation in our hand can understand what Daniel failed to understand in
The book of Daniel so the fact that I just read it to you from Daniel chapter 12
And you're scratching your head having trouble understanding it makes perfect sense because he didn't understand it either
But when we combine it with the book of Revelation
It will make sense and you will understand and if Daniel would have had the book of Revelation available to him
He would have understood it too. Okay verse 10 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 so God is saying look Daniel
You don't understand this now, but at the time of the end people will understand it
But is he saying that everyone's gonna understand at the time of the end no
He's saying the righteous will understand it in the time of the end
But none of the wicked shall understand so in order to be able to understand biblical prophecy
you know what the first thing you got to do is be saved and
A lot of people the reason they don't understand biblical prophecy is because they're not saved
Because the Bible says the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God for their foolishness unto him
Neither can he know them because they're spiritually discerned
And I often find that when someone's very confused about biblical prophecy and cannot understand
Basic simple truths and I know tonight's sermon is not that basic
But other sermons that are really basic on Bible prophecy and it goes right over their head
You know, then you talk to those same people about salvation and they're wrong on salvation. They don't believe it's by grace through faith
They don't believe that everlasting life is the gift of God to whosoever believeth and then it makes perfect sense
Why they don't understand because they don't have the Holy Spirit inside them to teach them and to guide them
and the Bible is clear none of the wicked shall understand and
Of course, we don't have our own righteousness
But we are righteous through the blood of Christ through our Savior then in the next three verses
He gives some very very specific key information about the end times
he says in verse 11 from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away and the
Abomination that make a desolate set up there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days little earlier in the chapter
What did the angels say what he swore by him that liveth forever and ever he said until the end there shall be a time
Times and half of times that is three and a half years
Well that matches perfectly with verse 11 when it says from the time meaning starting with the time that the daily
sacrifice is taken away and
The abomination that make a desolate set up
He says there shall be a thousand two hundred ninety days. So from the abomination of desolation
To the end. He says there will be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Well just to help you out a
1290 days is three and a half years now
Go if you would keep your finger in Daniel 12 there go back to Daniel chapter 9
Daniel chapter 9 verse 27
This is where we see what people call Daniel 70th week this seven-year period in end times Bible prophecy
It says in verse 27
He shall confirm the Covenant with many for one week and in the midst of the week
He shall cause the sacrifice and the ablation 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
so according to Daniel 9 verse 27 at what point in the seven-year period or
Daniel 70th week as people like to call it at what point in that seven years does the abomination take place?
according to Daniel
927 it happens in the midst of the week, doesn't it?
He says in the midst of the week the abomination of desolation takes place now if we compare that to Daniel chapter 12
He says from the abomination of desolation to the end
there shall be a
1290 days now
Before I go any further
Let me just explain to you how the Bible reckons days and months and years and what calendar the Bible uses
From Genesis to Revelation the Bible very consistently uses 30-day months
Therefore God is not on the exact same type of calendar that we're on because our months are not all 30 days
Are they 30 days hath September April June and November?
But all the rest have 31 save February with 28. Okay, so
February has 28 days. We have a lot of days with 31 30 and so forth. Therefore our year contains
365 days does it not?
Well in the Bible the year consists of 12 months of
30 days each which makes a year of
360 days not 365
But when you're using a system that only has 360 days in a year
You are not in sync with the Sun and
With the Earth's rotation around the Sun because how long does it take the earth to go around the Sun?
approximately
365 and a quarter days
Now 365 days is not in perfect sync with the Sun either which is why every four years. What do we need a leap year?
Right, but every hundred years we don't have a leap year
Because it's not exactly 365 and a quarter
So even our calendar is is not perfect and has to have adjustments made
To keep us in line with Sun otherwise over the course of hundreds and hundreds of years
Those quarter days would add up and pretty soon. It'll be Christmas in July, you know
It'll be snowing outside and it was supposed to be summertime and that wouldn't make any sense
Well, if you're on the Bible's system of time
with
12 30 day months
You're really gonna go out of sync with the Sun fast, aren't you? Because you're you're five five and a quarter days off all the time
And so you're continually going to be going out of sync with Sun. That's why
When you use the system that the Bible uses of a 360 day year
12 30 day months you must every six years add an extra month
Right because six times five is thirty and so the five days that you're losing every year
Those add up after six years to thirty days you tag on an extra month to make up for that
You say Pastor Anderson who in the world has ever used such a system
I know you're saying it's in the Bible and yeah
We can go back to Noah's day and he equates a hundred and fifty days to five months in the book of Revelation in the book
of Daniel he equates
1260 days to three and a half years he equates 42 months to 1260 days
But you say is there an example in our world of people using this calendar today believe it or not the Iranians
The Persians
used this calendar for
thousands of years in fact
The longest known running calendar known to man that can be documented is a Persian calendar
That has gone off of these 360 day years
Okay, adding a leap month. I'm calling it a leap month
You know just adding an extra month every six years to bring things in line with the heavenly bodies because remember in Genesis 1
Bible very clearly tells us that one of the purposes of the Sun and Moon and stars is
That they will help us with
Signs and seasons and days and months and years so to teach that oh
There's a 360 day year, and it has nothing to do with the Sun and Moon. That's bizarre
Because you know without adding these extra months
You're gonna be having you know springtime and harvest and summer and winter coming at all the wrong times in the year
It's not gonna make sense it would totally mess up. God's feast days in Leviticus 23
So that is why when you study the book of Revelation
It's very clear that the first half of Daniel's 70th week is often referred to as lasting for
1260 days, but the second half of Daniel's 70th week is mentioned as lasting for
1290 days why is that?
Because 42 months at 30 days is 1260 days
But by the time we get to the second half of Daniel's 70th week. We must add an extra month
Because every six years you've got to add that extra month to keep it in line with the heavenly bodies therefore if God's
Talking about a week or a seven year period it would not be a complete seven years
With 84 months of 30 days each
2520 days is not going to cut it
You got to add in that extra month, and then you're up to 2550 days for the entire week
1260 in the first half
1290 in the second half that's why the abomination of desolation happens in the middle of the week and
from the abomination of
Desolation going forward the Bible says in Daniel 12 1 there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days
All right look at the next verse verse 12
Blessed is he that waiteth and cometh to the thousand three hundred five and thirty days
But go thou thy way till the end be for thou shalt stand
Shout rest and shalt stand in thy lot at the end of the days
So there are two key numbers given here at the end of Daniel 12. There's the 1290 day number
Which is talking about what the second half of Daniel 70th week?
From the abomination of desolation going forward okay, and then we know at that time. It's over
Okay, well, what's the?
1335 day period well there's no room to fit the 1335 days in the second half
second half of the week only last 1290 days
1335 days would be more than that
Not going to happen, but not only that the Bible is clear in verse 13 that Daniel will rest and will
Stand in his lot at the end of the days
What are the days the 1335 days that he just mentioned let me read it to you again 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
Referring to the 1335 days that he just mentioned
So if Daniel is rising again after the 1335 days
If we were to start those 1335 days at the beginning of Daniel 70th week
How long is 1335 days well?
the first
1260 days of that would bring us to the abomination of the desolation and then that leaves us with 75 more days doesn't it?
Because 1335 is more than three and a half years. It's actually two and a half months into the second half
so with that in mind
If Daniel is going to rise again or be resurrected at the end of the
1335 days that would mean that the 1335 days is referring to
What we know as the rapture or the first resurrection
Because when Jesus Christ comes in the clouds the dead in Christ shall rise first
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds
To meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord now you say pastor
Anderson wasn't Daniel already resurrected at some past time
I know there are people out there that teach that you know when Jesus rose from the dead all the Old Testament saints rose
That's a false doctrine because it says in Acts 2 29
Men and brethren let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David that he is both dead and buried
And his sepulcher is with us unto this day
So according to Acts 2 29 David was still in the grave in the sepulcher bodily
After the resurrection of Christ when Peter is preaching at the day of Pentecost
David's in the grave well guess what Daniel was in the grave to all the Old Testament saints were still in the grave when Peter
Preached that sermon they will be resurrected in the first resurrection
When Christ comes in the clouds the dead in Christ will rise first that'll be David's dead body
That'll be Daniel's dead body. That'll be all the Old Testament saints
That'll be all the New Testament saints the dead in Christ will rise first
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds
So if that resurrection of Daniel is taking place
1335 days into Daniel's 70th week or during the second half of Daniel's 70th week
What does that mean that means that?
1260 days into Daniel's 70th week is the abomination of desolation
Well when the Bible says in Matthew 24 when we see the abomination of desolation
He says then shall be great tribulation. That's where we see a lot of people being killed for the cause of Christ
That's where we see the Antichrist come into total control at the abomination of desolation
Where he is ruling over every kindred and tongue and people in nation and where he's causing
Everyone to have to have a mark in their right hander and therefore had to buy or sell
That is the time of trouble unlike anything the world has ever seen right and that takes place at
The midpoint that means there are 75 more days
Until we're raptured there are 75 more days
Until we are caught up in the clouds right after the dead in Christ rise that means the period of great
Tribulation will last for 75 days. You know there will be a time of trouble and tribulation
Obviously for the three and a half years leading up to the abomination of desolation
But when great tribulation begins is at that abomination
That's the one where basically believers are being killed en masse and look
It's a good thing that that period only is lasting for 75 days because if those days had not been shortened
No, flesh should be saved. I mean if if the Antichrist were allowed to persecute God's people for the whole 42 months of his reign
I mean there'd be no flesh saved would there I mean nobody can survive
Because of the fact and again, I'll go into that more in in the sermon on chapter 13
But you understand what I'm saying that there are two key numbers here
1290 days from the abomination to the end of the week and
1335 days from the beginning of the week
Unto the resurrection of Daniel unto the resurrection of all believers unto the rapture
Okay, or Christ coming in the clouds and so on and so forth to me
This is a clear passage, but even to confirm this more remember what we talked about back in Revelation chapter 2
Where he said you shall have tribulation for 10 days be thou faithful unto death, and I'll give thee a crown of life
those 10 days are symbolic of
the 10 days of the Hebrew calendar
Where the first day of the seventh month is the blowing of the trumpets at the exact
midpoint of the Hebrew calendar year which represents the abomination of desolation at the exact midpoint of Daniel's 70th week and
Then if you remember on the tenth day of the seventh month on the Hebrew calendar
We have the trumpet of Jubilee sounding which the trumpet of Jubilee
represents the trumpet of
Liberty the trumpet of the rapture where the trumpet sounds and we are gathered unto our inheritance in the heavens
And so what is the distance between the exact midpoint of the Hebrew year?
To the tenth day of the seventh month when the trumpet of the Jubilee sounds obviously those are ten days the first ten days
of that seventh month
That's what he's referring to in Revelation 2 and I and I went into it in more detail in my revelation to sermon
You know, hopefully you were there and you heard it before you're hearing this sermon
But those ten days are the ten days. He's referring to of tribulation you say well the tribulation lasts for 75
That's the Great Tribulation that is
That's because we're dealing with a seven year period as opposed to a one year Hebrew calendar year
And that's why if you take the number
1335 and divide it by seven since we're dealing with only one year as opposed to seven years if you take
1335 divided by seven it comes out to a hundred and ninety point seven one
Well, what's the hundred and ninetieth day of the year the tenth day of the seventh month?
When does the trumpet of the Jubilee sound tenth day of the seventh month? When does the rapture take place?
1335 days into Daniel's 70th week now that's enough in Daniel 12
Let's finish out in Revelation
But we needed the information we just gained in Revelation to understand the rest of what I'm going to show you from Revelation
We needed Daniel 12
Now people will often accuse me of setting a date for the rapture now
Is anything I said in the last ten minutes set a date of the rapture?
Have I mentioned any calendar dates or years look I have no clue
When the rapture will take place I have no clue when Christ coming in the clouds will be I have not the slightest idea
It could happen in the next ten years. It could happen a hundred years from now
It could happen in my lifetime. It might happen long after I'm gone. I have no clue when it's gonna be
I've not said a day
I will not seek to set a day and they say well the Bible says no man know what the day or the hour
You're saying it happens
1335 days into Daniel's 70th week you're pinpointing the day. No, I'm not
Because we don't know when Daniel's 70th week begins do we?
So I'm not setting a date now people will often say well, yeah, but once it begins we'll know
But hold on a minute will we really know
Because the Bible says that the week begins with the Antichrist confirming the covenant with many for one week
How do we know that's going to be a public event?
We may not know when that confirmation of the covenant with me. Well the peace treaty with Israel
It doesn't say peace treaty with Israel. That's what your prophecy teacher taught you it says he'll confirm the covenant with many for one week
It doesn't mention making a peace treaty with Israel
There's no peace in the first half of Daniel's 70th week. The second seal is world warfare
People will say oh the first half of Daniel's 70th week is a period of peace
That is such a lie. The second seal is open in the whole world's at war. That's the second seal
But the Covenant confirmed with many for one week could take place behind closed doors in a smoke-filled room for all we know
We're not necessarily going to know when that begins to start counting the 1335 days, okay?
But let's say when the abomination of desolation takes place will we know the exact day that the abomination is set up?
You know I think it's very likely that we will so at that point
Yeah, you could count 75 days, but here's the thing at that point. We're so far into this anyway
We're getting so close to the end. We're only two and a half months away from it at that point
We've already seen the events of the first second third fourth and and fifth seals
We've seen the abomination of desolation
Jesus said when you see these things begin to come to pass look up and lift up your heads for your redemption draw of night
I mean obviously there's going to eventually come a point where we realize hey, we're into Daniel's 70th week. Hey
There's a one-world government. Hey the antichrist is asking us to take a mark to buy our cell so yeah at that time
Obviously we know that it's about to happen. So here's the key Jesus did not say
No, man will ever know the day or the hour of my coming. He said no man knows now
When he was talking back, then no man knoweth the day or the hour, but my father only okay, so obviously
Okay, let me put you this way after it happens. Will we know the day or the hour?
Obviously after it happens looking back. We'll be able to know well guess what as we get very close to it at that point
We will also know when it's coming if we're in the know if we've studied our Bibles
And so obviously when we see that in this the sun and moon darkened right we'll know
It's going to happen today here. It is you know here. It comes and so that whole argument of
Claiming that it's date setting to say that it happens 1335 into the week
That just falls apart because we're not setting in a year
We're not setting any money and frankly
I don't know what day or what calendar month his coming will be when I say the tenth day of the seventh month
I'm not talking about according to our calendar. I'm not even talking about according to the Hebrew calendar
I'm talking about symbolically according to Hebrew calendar meaning that it will be at that point in Daniel 70th week
1335 days in I don't know whether this is going to be December January
I have no clue what month what day or what year so I am not setting any kind of a date
And I never have and I never will
Until I see the abomination of desolation then I'm gonna start setting a date. Hopefully I'm still alive at that time
So what did we learn from Daniel 12 in a nutshell? Well we learned basically that there's a seven-year period
We learned that by comparing you know Daniel 9 Daniel 12 a lot of the scriptures
There's a seven-year period halfway through that period there's the abomination of desolation
There are 1290 days remaining after that the time of tribulation comes before the rapture
We saw that in Daniel chapter 12 verse 1 and so on and so forth now with that all that information in mind
Keeping in mind what the angel said about a time and times and half a time
until the end and then looking at revelation 10 verse
6 it says this very similar to what we saw in Daniel 12
Except that the time is different the angel and Daniel 12 lift up his hand and swear that it would be for a time times
and half a time
The angel in Revelation 10 lifts up his hand verse 5 the angel which I saw
stand upon the sea and upon the earth lift up his hand to heaven and
swear by him that liveth forever and ever who created heaven and the things that therein are and the earth and the things that
Therein are and the sea and the things that there are in that there should be time no longer
So no more time times half a time. He said this is it
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, here's the key when he shall begin
to sound
the mystery of God should be finished as he had declared to his servants the prophet so
The mystery of God is finished in the days of the voice of the seventh angel when he shall begin
To sound so when we talk about the events of the seventh trumpet
When is the mystery of God finished at the beginning of the events of the seventh trumpet or at the end of the events of?
The seventh trumpet at the beginning, right?
So this isn't the very very end of things
Because the seventh trumpet still has to sound and the events of the seventh trumpet have to play out
Which we see recorded in chapter 11
So
He says that the mystery of God should be finished
What is he referring to when he says the mystery of God go to Romans 11 25?
Romans 11 25 will tell us what the mystery of God is
That will be finished in the days of the voice of the seventh angel when he shall begin to sound
Look at Romans 11 verse 25. It says for I would not brethren that you should be ignorant of this mystery
Lest ye should be wise in your own conceits that blindness in part is happened to Israel
until the fullness of the Gentiles become in so the mystery in Romans 11 25 is
that blindness is happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles become in and
So all Israel shall be saved as it is written there shall come out of Zion the deliverer and shall
Turn away ungodliness from Jacob for this is my covenant unto them when I shall take away
their sins now first of all let it be said that when it says all Israel shall be saved it's important to get the
context of
The whole passage of chapters 9 through 11 of Romans because in chapter 9
He says in verse 6 not as though the Word of God have taken that effect for they are not all Israel
Which are called Israel neither because they are the seed of Abraham are they all children?
But an Isaac shall I see be called so in chapters 9 and 10 and 11 he already explained to us
How you know the true Israel is only those who are believers okay?
And that the rest of the israelites who don't believe have been broken off of the olive tree
They are not part of the olive tree. They're not part of the nation
So notice what he said there that the mystery of God there in Romans 11 25 through 27
Was the fact that blindness had happened let me let me go there again and just make sure I get the exact wording
That blindness in part is happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in
So the mystery that's being finished
I believe in Revelation 10 is the fullness of the Gentiles being come in
referred to in Romans 11 25 through 27
Now go if you would to Revelation chapter number 11 now
Revelation chapter number 11 and let's see if we can figure out when the fullness of the Gentiles is come in shall we it says
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 then 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 underfoot
Forty and two months and I will give power unto my two witnesses and they shall prophesy a
Thousand two hundred and three score days clothed in sacral so right there we see
That there is a 42 month period or a twelve hundred sixty day period in which
Jerusalem shall lay desolate and where the holy city shall be trodden underfoot
The Gentiles it says it is given unto the Gentiles and the holy city shall they trotted afoot
Forty and two months now you might look at that twelve hundred and sixty days or 42 months and say oh
That's the first half of Daniel seventy week wrong
Because you have to understand that the reason why?
This is only twelve hundred and sixty days instead of twelve hundred and ninety full days even though
It's in the second half because look when does the abomination of desolation take place the midpoint?
Well when is Jerusalem going to be trodden underfoot and made desolate at the abomination of desolation
Okay, and if we compare Daniel and revelation
I don't have time to show you all the scriptures
But clearly revelation 11 1 & 2 lines up with the abomination
Well the witnesses begin to prophesy when the city is laid desolate at the abomination of desolation
The city is desolate for 42 months they prophesy for 1260 days, but if you remember
after they're done prophesying
Then the Antichrist makes war with them, then he kills them then they lay in the street for three days
Then they're resurrected, so there are still things that have to happen in those final 30 days
Okay
But
Those are the days that final 30 days are the days where the seventh trumpet sounds and those events are carried out
Let's compare this quickly to Luke 21
24 the Bible reads and they shall fall by the edge of the sword and this is referring to people
Dwelling in Jerusalem and in Judea
he says they shall fall by the edge of the sword and shall be led away captive into all nations and
Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled
So he says there Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles
That's exactly what we saw in revelation 11 1 through 3 and he says
Until the times of the Gentiles shall be fulfilled
How long shall the city be trodden down of the Gentiles according to revelation 11 to 42 months?
So when is the time of the Gentiles fulfilled?
42 months after the abomination of desolation
according to Luke 21
24 and revelation 11 2 & 3
42 months after the abomination of desolation the time of the Gentiles shall be fulfilled
Well the Bible says in the days of the voice of the seventh angel
When he shall begin to sound the mystery of God should be finished as yet declared to his servants the prophets
What is the mystery of God being finished?
Romans 11 25 and 27 tells us that it is the fullness of the Gentiles being come in
It is blindness in part happening under the Gentiles until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in
When is the fullness of the Gentiles come in when does the time of the Gentiles end?
When will the Gentiles cease to have control of Jerusalem?
Well that is 42 months after the abomination desolation that is approximately 1260 days after
the the abomination desolation that is
30 days before the end of Daniel 70th week and
So that tells us exactly when the seventh trumpet is going to sound everybody getting this the seventh trumpet will sound
Right at the end
approximately 30 days
Before the end of Daniel 70th week because it's the days of the seventh angel when he shall begin to sound
That's when the mystery of God's finished. That's when the fullness of the Gentiles has come in
That's when the time of the Gentiles is over
That's when the seventh angel begins to sound so that well
you know what that proves that proves that the seventh angel does not sound and
The events of the seventh angels trumpet do not take place until the last 30 days of Daniel 70th week
Are you getting the significance of that the seventh trumpet events and judgments of great hail and
lightning and Thunder take place in
The last 30 days of Daniel 70th week and what that proves is that that is the end of God's pouring out of his wrath
Because why when the seventh angel sounds they say the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ
And he shall reign forever and ever that what do we have after Daniel 70th week the millennial reign of Christ
See how it all fits together perfectly now. Look I apologize
This is the most complicated sermon that I probably ever preached on Bible prophecy and it's an advanced sermon
And if you're here tonight, and maybe you know, you're a little newer at Bible prophecy
Probably a lot of the sermon, you know went over your head
You probably need to go back and listen to Revelation 1 through 9
Because this is probably one of the most in-depth complicated
Sermons I've ever preached on Bible prophecy, you know, it really assumes that you know the basics
Okay, but you know, we need to know some of the strong meat sometimes of this this subject and you know
There's a chart I've put together a chart that kind of lays this out in a in a chart
Go to you can go to kjvprophecy.com and the Daniel 70th week chart, you know
Maybe it'll help you to see it in a pictorial representation
and then at the bottom all the scriptures are there proving all the points are biblical and
In line with scripture, but let's quickly finish up Revelation 10 here
Says in verse 7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel when he shall begin to sound the mystery of God
Should be finished as he had declared to his servants the prophets and the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again
And said go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel
Which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth?
And I went under the angel and said unto him give me the little book and he said unto me
Take it and eat it up and it shall make thy belly bitter and it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey
And I took the little book out of the angels hand and ate it up and it was in my health mouth sweet as honey
And as soon as I had eaten it my belly was bitter and he said unto me thou must prophesy again before many peoples and nations
And tongues and kings so here the angel that stands on the sea and on the earth that swear by him that liveth forever and ever
He has this little book open in his hand
John is commanded to take the book out of his hand and eat it
He goes to the angel and says to him give me the little book the angel gives him the book
He eats the book the book is in his mouth sweet as honey in his belly is made bitter as a result of eating the book
After he eats the book he's told to go preach
He's told that he must prophesy again before many nations and tongues and people in nations and tongues and kings say
What is the little book well go back to?
Ezekiel chapter number two
Ezekiel chapter number two because often in the Bible
The concept of eating a book comes up
And it's always referring to God's Word like for example the Bible says man does not live by bread alone
But by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God does man live so
Eating God's Word is a concept throughout the Bible because God's Word is represented as food
It's our daily bread the manna that the children of Israel ate is related unto God's Word in Deuteronomy chapter 8 verse 3
We don't live by bread alone
We live by every word that proceed out the mouth of God
Jeremiah said thy words were found and I did eat them and thy word was the rejoicing of my heart
Job said I have esteemed the words of thy mouth more than my necessary food so job Jeremiah the children of Israel
Over and over again eating the Word of God comes up look at Ezekiel chapter 2
But thou son of man speaking to Ezekiel hear what I say unto thee be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house
Open thy mouth and eat that I give thee he's saying eat what I give you Ezekiel open your mouth and eat what I give you
And when I looked behold an hand was sent unto me a little a roll of a book was therein
So what is Ezekiel being told to eat at the end of chapter 2 a roll of a book?
And
Look what it says in verse 10 and he spread it before me
He spread out the roll roll means scroll there
He spreads out the scroll of the book before him and it was written within and without and there was written there in
Lamentations and mourning and woe so the book that Ezekiel is told to eat at the end of chapter 2 is a scroll
containing
Lamentations mourning and woe so not only is that scroll God's Word
But it's a very negative portion of God's Word isn't it because it's a part of God's Word that has to do with
Lamentations mourning and woe
Well the book that John is being told to eat in
Revelation chapter 10 is the same way
it's a book that has to do with the words of God's judgment and wrath upon this earth and
He eats that book and it's in his mouth sweet as honey
Why was the book that John ate in
Revelation 10 sweet as honey to his mouth because God's Word is sweet to the mouth the Bible says in
Psalm chapter 19 the famous passage the law of the Lord is perfect verse 7 converting the soul the testimony of the Lord is sure
Making wise the simple we're talking about the Word of God the law of the Lord the testimony of the Lord
The statutes of the Lord are right rejoicing the heart the commandment of the Lord is pure
Enlightening the eyes the fear of the Lord is clean enduring forever the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous all together
So God's judgments are true and right God's commandments God statutes. God's Word is perfect
He says more to be desired are they than gold yea then much fine gold watch this sweeter
Also than honey and the honeycomb
So God's Word is sweeter than the honeycomb David said in the book of Psalms that God's Word was sweet unto his mouth
and to his taste
But why did it make his belly bitter because of the negative subject matter?
So what the Bible is teaching here is that many negative portions of Scripture?
They're sweet to our taste because honestly the whole Bible is sweet to our tastes
I mean though we as Christians we love the Word of God, and I don't know about you
I love every part of the Word of God
I love the positive parts of the Word of God and I love the negative parts of the Word of God
Because I just love God you know I just love his word
But there are parts of it that can make our belly bitter as we read about
Judgments and lamentation whoa some parts of the Bible make us sorrowful don't they?
Even though they they're sweet to our taste in the sense that we love God's Word
We're sorrowful when we think about unsaved people going to hell aren't we I mean doesn't that make us sorry
We don't question God's justice and God's judgment
But it can still bring sorrow and and it can bring a bitterness to our belly when we think about the wrath
That's going to be poured out with the seven trumpets when we think about the wrath
That's going to be poured out with the seven vials and so when he ate the book
He said it was in his mouth sweet as honey
But as soon as he had eaten it his belly was bitter and the angel said at him thou must prophesy again
Before many people and nations and tongues and kings let's bow our heads and have a word of prayer father
We thank you so much for your word, and we thank you so much for these truths
I pray that those that are here would study to show themselves approved. This is not a simple sermon
This was not the milk of the word. This was definitely the strong meat
I went into a lot of subjects that are very deep and complicated
but I pray that many people would understand the things that I preached in this sermon that they would study and
Read and and maybe look at the chart that I've made maybe make their own chart
Just based on what the Bible teaches and and and come to grips and an understanding with these deep truths of your word
and come to a very
Clear and specific understanding of the book of Revelation through these 22 messages in Jesus name. I pray man
You
