I have seen enough intellectual analyses of
the 1335 days to sorely trouble the Spirit of Life who
dwells within me.
Monday, after nothing dramatic had occurred
over the weekend, I started again to ponder the scriptures
of Dan 12:10-13 seeking the Lord, not my intellect, as to
the meanings of these time frames.
First we need to establish a baseline for
these specified days.
Dan. 12:11 says this....11) "From the time
that the regular sacrifice is abolished and
the abomination of desolation is set up,
there will be 1,290 days (NASU)
Now this scripture is not referring to the
desolation mentioned in Dan. 9:27. 9:27 speaks of the
activities of the AC and 12:10-13 speaks of events in the
early church as she began to depart from the order Yehshua
had instructed. (There is more than one abomination of
desolation.)
The regular sacrifice (Old covenant worship)
was established by Father God and He and only He has the
authority to abolish it. So then how did He abolish
the regular sacrifice? By permitting His Son to be
crucified, slain for the sins of mankind. The
Crucifixion of our Lord abolished the need for the regular
sacrifice. Is that not true?
Simply put, a stench in the nostrils of God,
a stench so foul that He would depart the assembly and leave
it DESOLATE. What was that stench....the pride and
prejudice of the apostles when they refused to serve
the lesser Jews,
the Hellenistic Jews.
Now there are no exact records to say that
this abomination occurred at 1290 days but the time frame
seems to fit and I do trust Holy Spirit in revelation.
Same goes for the 1335 days.
So the 1290 days point to rise of pride in
the church, men taking unto themselves positions above their
brothers and sisters, establishing two (at least) classes of
believers, the clergy and the laity. There is ample
evidence in Christ's teachings to reveal His intent.
Matt 23:11-12 11) " But the greatest
among you shall be your servant. 12_ " Whoever exalts
himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall
be exalted. NASU
Looks like the guys (disciples) didn't
listen so well. By their actions they SET
UP this class system
(clergy vs laity) that still exists today, an abomination to
Father God.
So the Crucifixion is the baseline for the
1335 days as well. What happened in that time frame
and what does it mean to the believer?
Dan 12:12 12) "How blessed is he who
keeps waiting and attains to the 1,335 days!
The events that Holy Spirit lead me to are
in Acts 6 & 7. After the shunning of the
Hellenistic Jews and the disciples setting up their own
private prayer and Bible study group the next major event to
be recorded is the martyrdom of Stephen. Read the
account: Stephen was really rocking in ministry. He
was one of the ones chosen to "wait tables," a deacon by
church standards. I am sure the anointing on him was
Father's way of telling the 12 that they had screwed up.
If the disciples set up the abomination of
desolation at 1290 days, is it unreasonable to think Stephen
was martyred 45 days later? What accounts I could find
tell that Stephen died in the year 35 so the time frames do
fit, 1290 and 1335 days should put us in the year 35.
Once a number (40, 153, 1335, et. al.) is
established by a physical event then i takes on a spiritual
significance. On day 1335 the first martyr of the New
Covenant was slain. What the number 1335 and the
scripture is telling us is blessed are those who advance to
the point of a total and complete surrender, even unto death
including death to all of self, unto the Lord. They will be
greatly blessed and it is they who will attain unto the
first resurrection.
To further validate that this was a
revelation from Holy Spirit - during my search my wife came
to me and suggested that I consider what happened to
Stephen. A true group effort.. Holy Spirit, my wife
and myself. This is the way Father wants His church
to work... not by the leadings of some teacher/pastor or
whatever leading His "sheep" astray.
