Hello John and Doves,
Greetings to you all in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
It has been quite some time since I wrote my last post to five doves. But I keep checking the letters every week.
The Spirit gave me a revelation to interpret Daniel's 70th week using two verses in John.
First Verse - John 9:4, I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work. Jesus identifies that there is day time when He works and there is night time where no one can work.
Next verse identifies the duration of the day time. John 11:9,Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbles not, because he sees the light of this world.
So Jesus identified the day has 12 hours which implicitly states the night too has 12 hours. We know that Jesus ministered for 3.5 years in the earth and then the day time continued for nearly 2000 years through Holy Spirit. Then night time of 3.5 years is for due.
Now if we connect this with Daniel's 70 years, the angel Gabriel told Daniel to finish transgressions and iniquities, to bring everlasting righteousness, to seal vision and prophecies and to anoint most holy, it takes 70 weeks. Most of us might be knowing that each day of the week accounts for an year totaling to 490 years (70 x 7). God told to Ezekiel in chapter 4, that He accounts for 1 day for an year and in Number s 14:34 too God gave a punishment of 1 year for 1 day.
The Messiah will be revealed after 7 + 62 = 69 weeks (483 years). The term Messiah means Anointed one and Jesus was anointed and declared as Son of God during His baptism. That is the establishing of covenant with many. In fact, the he in the last verse is a dual prophecy which means it applies to both Messiah and anti-Messiah.
So, now Jesus established covenant for many with God during His baptism. (1 Peter 3:21 says Baptism is covenant of good conscience with God) and now the 70th week or the day time of 3.5 years starts. At the middle, He abolished the sacrifices and offerings because He Himself became the real sacrifice and offering so they are no longer needed after the death of Christ. Hebrews 5:1 says High priest gives sacrifices and offerings and we know Jesus is the eternal High Priest for us. Ephesians 5:2 too says Christ gave Himself as sacrifice and offering.
So the night time of 3.5 years is yet to start and this is the 42 months or 1260 days or 3.5 days mentioned in Revelation. So there is only 3.5 years of anti Christ but there would be a 3.5 year before that starts where anti christ would establish a covenant with many and after 3.5 years, he will break that and then the devil will enter him as per the reference of wings of desolation that desolate and that is the night time Jesus referred in John 9:4.
But the hidden revelation is that the 1260 days in Revelation was also referred to as time, times and half a time twice in Daniel and once in Revelation 12. Applying day to year conversion, this becomes 1260 years which was already completed from 539 AD where pope was given ruling authority by Roman Emperor Justinian and which ended after 1260 years in 1799 AD when Napolean arrested Pope and jailed him. This is the wound the beast received in Revelation 13 and it was healed when Mussolini gave back the recognition to papacy in Rome.
The mark of the beast is not literal mark or bar code or seal or rfid chip. Forehead represents the thoughts and Hand represents actions. 666 is just the numerical value of Vicarivs Filii Dei title of Pope and Greek numerical value of Tradition. These are just hidden and not literal since prophecies don't mean what they appear to be. 2 Peter 1:20. I can elaborate more on this in future posts if any one is interested to know this perspective and share more references.
So the prophecies were already fulfilled but will fulfill again and that's the power of the Word of God.
That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requires that which is past. Ecc 3:15.
Praise God Almighty, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who was, who is and who is to come. Maranatha. Amen.
