Not long ago, I posted on RITAN about the actual occurrence found in Daniel 10 of a delay of 21 days in his day.  I have posted it here before as well.  It will happen again, I feel certain, and it is related to the rapture of the Church and here is why.

First, the circumstances of the delay.  In Daniel’s day, the Babylonian captivity had begun when a young lad on his 17th birthday became a captive of the invading and horrible Babylonians.  He, by God’s decree and grace, prospered in captivity and was not only excessively high in government, but was high is God’s esteem as well, and he was a prophet of God.  When reading the writing of Jeremiah late in life, he found (chapter 29) that the reason for the captivity was disobedience and the length of the captivity was to be exactly 70 years.  To him, this meant no more, no less.

Daniel was now 87 years old cutting his birthday cake.  He expected God to fulfill His promise to free his people, Israel on his 87th birthday just as Jeremiah said.  It DID NOT OCCUR.  O, my goodness, was God a liar?  Of course not, but what?  So Daniel went to prayer and fasting with some friends.  He ate no pleasant bread and prayed for 21 FULL days, at the end of which he had a major vision.  He learned why God did not open the gates and free the captives on time as he counted time.

On the 22nd day, after the 21 days was FULLY come, the captives went free.  So, why the delay?  It was explained to him that WAR IN HEAVEN had prevented the release.  What?  God’s timing to free the Israelites was DELAYED?  What war?  And who is strong enough to do such a thing?  In the vision that Daniel had, it was the (fallen) angel prince of Persia (Iran, today) that stalled the journey as Michael, God’s archangel had to do battle with Satan’s archangel, who did every thing in his power to block the ending of the captivity.  It constituted WAR IN HEAVEN.  

I have been criticized for even suggesting that God’s program could be delayed.  Well, it was (by God’s permission, I am sure) in Daniel’s day.  Furthermore, I believe it is a message for us today as we wait for our Savior from heaven.  By God’s permission again, I believe there is reason to expect a 21 day DELAY when Jesus comes with Michael to get us in the rapture.  Michael will, this time, have to battle Satan, himself, perhaps and this time it will not be just 21 days, but three years.

Consider this:

1.  There must be war in heaven as Revelation says so.  This must result in the casting to the earth, Satan.  “I beheld Satan, as lightning, fall from heaven”. (Luke 10:18.  The imprisoned 1/3 of the heavenly host, fallen angels, will be loosed to join him.  This brings hell to the earth, literally.  THE WAR IS TRANSFERRED FROM HEAVEN TO EARTH WHEN ITS LEADER IS CAST OUT.  He is the great red dragon of Revelation 12: 3.

2.  God sent messengers to Daniel (one of which was our Savior pre-incarnate, I believe), and these messengers were delayed 21 days.  The occasion of the trip was to end the Babylonian captivity.  The Church today is captive in Babylon as well.  If Satan fought so hard to prevent the release of the Jews from ancient Babylon, how much harder do you suppose he will fight to prevent the release of the Church from prophetic Babylon?  The rapture means his days are numbered.
 
3.  The battle in heaven in Daniel’s experience seemed to be over in 21 days.  The battle this time will not end in 21 days but SIMPLY THE WAR WILL TRANSFER TO EARTH FROM HEAVEN.  “Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea!  For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that hehath but a short time”.  (Rev 12:12).  How long will the war, begun in heaven, extend on earth?  Until Armageddon!  With Satan cast out of heaven, heaven is then ready for the Bride to ascend.

4.  Rosh Hashana (New Year) is the third of seven sacred feasts.  It is comprised of  3 feasts.  These three are New Year, Atonement, and Tabernacles.  Thus Rosh Hashana continues over the total day count of three feasts.  The first is the feast that no man can date, as it is determined by the sighting of the first sliver of the new moon.  From that day onward, the feasts unfold until the 8th day of Tabernacles, a day added but not attached to Tabernacles.  Thus Tabernacles ends on the 7th day of the Feast of Tabernacles.  The eighth day is a solemn assembly, unlike the seventh, which is the most  joyful of all.  The TOTAL COUNT IS 21 DAYS FROM JEWISH NEW YEAR THROUGH TABERNACLES, WITH THE SOLEMN DAY ADDED TO TABERNACLES BUT NOT PART OF IT.  Thus a total of 22 days.  How fascinating it is to me that there is 21 days from start to finish of the final three feasts.

5.  The Babylonian captivity ended AFTER the 21 days, that is, when 21 days was “fully come”.  That would be the 22nd day when the release came.  Israel was freed on that day.

6.  America is the home base of the gentile Church.  It was the fountainhead of all missionary activity up until a few years ago.  America is also the prophetic Babylon.  On that basis, the deliverance of the captives will largely come from America, not so much in picture, but in percentage? and the release will be from Babylon, America.  The graves will give up the dead in Christ and the living will be taken away.  See it?  If that day of rapture is Rosh Hashana, then the war in heaven will cast Satan to earth after a fight of 21 days, and the Church will be taken on the 22nd day after Rosh Hashana.  The spiritual war will continue for three more years until Armageddon, only this time, on the earth.  And the left behind will be ill-equipped to fight it.  This is a beautiful picture of deliverance of the Church, though, isn’t it?

7.  The Blue Kachina, Planet X is inbound.  Frank Molver posted a drawing from Nicole Poon yesterday showing it in the sky.  It should be visible to the naked eye beginning about RHH.  That may be our sign.  I think it is.  It is called by other names as posted a couple of days ago.  Nibiru is the most common, but others include destroyer, wormwood, etc.

Dear fellow travelers:  Destruction is coming, judgment is on the way, time is up, do what you must to be ready, prepare to meet Jesus in the clouds, He is coming on Rosh Hashana, delayed by the 21 days war in heaven, and He should be here by the last day of Tabernacles as it goes to the eighth day, Oct 7/8, this year.  Oct 8 is the 22nd day, the day after 21 days fully come from RHH.
