“Me’Ne, Me’Ne, Te’Kel, U-Phar’Sin”
A 2nd Fulfillment?
“Me’Ne” means “numbered and has a gematria value = 91 by addition. And “Te’Kel” means “to be weighed” and has a gematria value = 530 by addition. And “U-Phar’Sin” means “to split up and divide” and has a gematria value = 340 by addition.
We know that on an autumn night in 539 BC Daniel read the “hand writing on the wall” for the Babylonian King Belshazzar. His message to the king was simple: “God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and the Persians”. That night King Belshazzar was slaughtered along with the Babylonian kingdom being destroyed. This “hand writing on the wall” prophecy was fulfilled immediately!!
I think that this same prophecy could have a 2nd fulfillment today regarding the kings and nations of this world. Could this prophecy be applied today? “God hath numbered the kingdoms of this world and they are finished. The kings of this earth have been weighed in the balances and are found wanting. The kingdoms of this world will be demolished and given to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords”!
Daniel’s vision was given in 520/521 BC. 7 times 360 years = 2,520 years from 520/521 BC, which brings us to 2000 AD (Jewish year 5760). The Sharon government considered the beginning of the Intifada on September 29, 2000, as the "harbinger of World War III"! It is interesting that when you take the individual letter values of “Me’Ne, Te’Kel, U-Phar’Sin” and multiply them you get a gematria value equal to 23,040 = 4 x 5760. It appears to me that this prophecy in Daniel could well have double fulfillment in our own days!
IS THE YEAR 2000 BIBLICALLY SIGNIFICANT CONSIDERING THE JEWISH CALENDAR SAYS IT IS THE YEAR 5760
"The year 2000 is one of the most numerically important and prophetically profound years based on the Jewish calendar. Israel has been at the core of events in the 1900's including freeing of Jerusalem in WWII, the establishment of a Jewish homeland after WWII, and right up to the Persian Gulf War that was quickly redirected toward Israel.
The year 5760, which begins in September 1999, is of monumental importance. It is culmination of a sequence of 360 year cycles encompassing Abraham's birth, the exodus of Egypt, Daniel's vision of seventy/ sevens for Israel and the foundation being laid for the second temple, the desecration of the temple, and recapturing by Judas Maccabee, the Crusades against the Jews commencing at a 180 degree interval, and much more... for Eric S. Hadik's Lyke Report: Cycle of Time V..
"We have already noted that one of the largest "cycles of time" is a period of 360 years.. a complete "circle of time." This has to do with the principle that time is geometric and unfolds in cycles of time. Three hundred sixty is the most important of these since it represents a full-circle of full-cycle of time. One hundred eighty degrees, 90 degrees, 45 degrees, and other breakdowns of a circle also hold importance when applied to time periods..
"This brings us to the seventh and "final" repetition of this cycle of cycles initiated with Daniel's vision and the point of this discussion.. "Seven times 360, or 2520 years, [counting] from 521 B.C. projects a decisive time period in 1999/ 2000. Since there is no "0" year between 1 B.C. and 1 A.D., the exact date to watch is 2000 A.D.. The equivalent Jewish year encompasses either September 30, 1998 through October 1999 or October 1999 through September 2000, depending on when the precise date of the vision took place.
"Is it any coincidence that the Jewish year from October 1999 through October 2000 is the year 5760? Guess what number divides perfectly into 5760? - 360! This means Daniel's vision fell perfectly on the Jewish year of 3240, the ninth cycle of 360 since the start of the Jewish calendar. So whether or not the aforementioned events on a 360-year timetable are significant, the fact remains that the prophecy and the years 1999/ 2000 are both perfect 360 revolutions is this coincidence?
