Let's look at the Biblical correlations to a 21--day delay:

 

1.  Daniel is the premier end-times Biblical Prophet.

 

2.  The Book of Daniel is FULL of end-times Bible Prophecy, so that if a delay in the Rapture, and start of the Tribulation, is to take place, the Book of Daniel is the likely place to find it.

 

3.  The archangel Michael, in Daniel 10, is the angel of the Lord who is involved in a 21--day delay.  IT IS THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL MICHAEL, THAT IS SOUNDED AT THE TIME OF THE RAPTURE (1ST THESS. 4:16). 

 

4.  Here are the verses, in Dan. 10, that refer to the 21 days.

 

   a.  verse 2--"In those days, I, Daniel, was mourning THREE FULL WEEKS."

 

   b.  verse 3--"...till THREE WHOLE WEEKS WERE FULFILLED."

 

   c.  verse 13--"But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me ONE AND TWENTY DAYS; but, lo, MICHAEL, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia."

 

   d.  verse 14--"Now I am going to make you understand what shall befall thy people IN THE LATTER DAYS; FOR YET THE VISION IS FOR MANY DAYS."

 

5.  This is my 1st attempt ever to do a study on Dan. 10, but I am trying to convey to you what I believe the Lord is trying to show to all of us today.  THREE FULL WEEKS is referred to not once, not twice, but THREE times.  A 21-day delay is referred to THREE times.  It HAS to be important.

 

6.  How interesting that the prince of Persia, and the kings of Persia, are prominent players in Daniel 10.  Persia's name was changed to Iran in the middle of the 20th century.  Iran is one of the most prominent players in current end-times Bible Prophecy, and is the 2nd nation mentioned in this massive attack on Israel.

 

7.  If the very same archangel MICHAEL, whose voice is going to be heard at the time of the Rapture, was delayed for TWENTY-ONE DAYS back in Daniel's time, is this a Prophetic type, or sign, of a coming delay of Michael once again (1st Thess. 4:16), causing a delay of TWENTY-ONE DAYS for the Rapture???  With EVERYTHING pointing DIRECTLY to the date of 11/11/15, has there NOW BEEN ANOTHER DELAY, EVEN AS IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL, OF ANOTHER TWENTY-ONE DAYS???

 

8.  Verse 14 ties this whole Prophetic vision of Daniel into THE LATTER DAYS.  This is an END-TIMES VISION.  Therefore, why should we not believe that this is a Prophetic TYPE of a 21--day delay in the timing of the Rapture, especially with the archangel Michael being fully involved with both events???

 

9.  In both events, Michael is fully involved in trying to get from Heaven, to Earth, with an extremely important mission.  If Michael was delayed for TWENTY-ONE DAYS, the first time, why should we not expect Michael, whose voice we hear at the sound of the Trumpet, at the time of the Rapture, to be once again delayed TWENTY-ONE DAYS???
