Daniel 2025

The first resurrection is actually a resurrection from death into life that Occur when His people have a realization of Yeshua and the Father. This chapter will now conclude the vision started in chapter 10. This is all one vision and everything should fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. We should not take a little portion of this, or any prophecy and make it fit our own little conclusions by taking it out of context. Dan 12:1 "Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued. Verse one states, "At that time...And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation." That further ties this in with the tribulation period spoken of by Yeshua in Matthew 24:15-22. "Michael" is identified for us here. The name "Michael" means "who is like unto Elohim." He is the one who cast Satan out of heaven. Rev 12:7-9 Daniel makes it clear here that Michael is the one who is in charge of the nation Israel. Those written in the book (Israel) shall be preserved. Matt 24:22 The passage says that there will be "a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time." That could refer to a type of nuclear attack? Dan 12:2 All of Israel will be raised to everlasting life at that time and others to disgrace and everlasting contempt. There is only one physical resurrection mentioned in Scripture. John 5:28-29 “Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs shall hear His voice, 29and shall come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment. The first resurrection is actually a resurrection from death into life that Occur when His people have a realization of Yeshua and the Father. John 5:24-25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. 25“Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear shall live. Dan 12:6 And one said to the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, "How long will it be until the end of these wonders?" The One clothed in linen hovering over the waters could be Michael, but we are not told. One of the angels ask, "how long it will take for these things to be fulfilled?" Dan 12:7 And I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, as he raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time; and as soon as they finish shattering the power of the holy people, all these events will be completed. "...When the power of the holy people has been completely shattered..." This probably refers to when Jerusalem is attacked and shattered (pulverized, smashed). This might be referring to a nuclear attack(?) Regardless to what it is referring, the text clearly states that the end will take place after "a time, times, and half." That is when "all these events will be completed." Dan 12:8 As for me, I heard but could not understand; so I said, "My lord, what will be the outcome of these events?" Daniel understood the vision perfectly, but the question of "when" had him baffled. Daniel is saying, "Please, tell me more..." Dan 12:9 And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time. Read verse four of this chapter again. Daniel is reminded that revelations will no longer be given to him. The words are "closed up and sealed until later..." Dan 12:10 "Many will be purged, purified and refined; but the wicked will act wickedly, and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand. The wicked are blind. Hosea 14:9 Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; Whoever is discerning, let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right, And the righteous will walk in them, But transgressors will stumble in them. Dan 12:12 "How blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to the 1,335 days! Dan 12:13 "But as for you, go your way to the end; then you will enter into rest and rise again for your allotted portion at the end of the age." Daniel is told that he will die and he will not live to see the second coming of the Messiah. But he will be raised after these things take place and collect great rewards. What does the messenger mean by "your allotted portion?" It is the land of Israel. (Isa. 63:17, Jer. 10:16, Col. 3:23-24, 1 Cor. 6:9-10, Gal 3:28-29).

There is a purification that is taking place now. We are in the final stages and approaching the end time. 1. A delegation from Medina, consisting of the representatives of the twelve important clans of Medina, invited Muhammad as a neutral outsider to Medina to serve as the chief arbitrator for the entire community. There was fighting in Yathrib mainly involving its Arab and Jewish inhabitants for around a hundred years before 620 AD." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad The text then states that he "seized the kingdom by intrigue." He did this through his claim of visions of heaven and hell and in speaking with others who are in the Scriptures. 2. Islamic tradition relates that sometime in 620, Muhammad experienced the Isra and Mi'raj, a miraculous journey said to have been accomplished in one night along with the angel Gabriel. In the first part of the journey, the Isra, he is said to have travelled from Mecca to "the farthest mosque" (in Arabic: masjid al-aqsa), which Muslims usually identify with the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. In the second part, the Miraj, Muhammad is said to have toured heaven and hell, and spoken with earlier prophets, such as Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. [74]Ibn Ishaq, author of first biography of Muhammad, presents this event as a spiritual experience while later historians like Al-Tabari and Ibn Kathir present it as a physical journey. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad Muhammad wrote the Constitution of Alliance between the warring tribes in Medina which specified everyone's rights according to his will. 3. After emigration to Medina, Muhammad drafted the Constitution of Medina, "establishing a kind of alliance or federation" among the eight Medinan tribes and Muslim emigrants from Mecca, which specified the rights and duties of all citizens and the relationship of the different communities in Medina (including that of the Muslim community to other communities specifically the Jews and other "Peoples of the Book"). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad One can easily see that this verse is a graphic and detailed description of the rise of Muhammad. The rest of the passage is equally descriptive. Islam has been at war with Israel since the time of Muhammad. KNOW YOUR ENEMY PEOPLE! The Koran states this emphatically: 1. Kill the Jews and the Christians if they do not convert to Islam or refuse to pay Jizya tax. Koran 9:29 2. Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them. Koran 2:191 3. Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood. Koran 9:123 4. When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them. Koran 9:5 5. Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable. Koran 3:85 6. The Jews and the Christians are perverts; fight them. Koran 9:30 7. Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam. Koran 5:33 8. The infidels are unclean; do not let them into a mosque. Koran 9:28 9. Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies. Koran 22:19 10. Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them. Koran 47:4 11. The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them. Koran 8:65 12. Muslims must not take the infidels as friends. Koran 3:28 13. Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Quran. Koran 8:12 14. Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels. Koran 8:60 Dan 11:35 "And some of those who have insight will fall, in order to refine, purge, and make them pure, until the end time; because it is still to come at the appointed time. There is a purification that is taking place now. We are in the final stages and approaching the end time. River Valley Torah Assembly

The replacement for the "little horn" of Antiochus Epiphanes is none other than the person of Muhammad and his barbaric religion of Islam. Daniel 11, Part 1 of 2 This chapter and the next will tell us precisely what will happen in the future in great detail and with little symbolism. Chapters 10 - 12 deal with one single vision. Therefore, this chapter is a continuation of chapter 10. The very importance of this chapter caused evil forces to try to stop the angelic messenger from delivering it. This prophecy concerns Persia and Greece and Rome and the Islamic nations that comprise the ten-horned beast. "And in his place a despicable person will arise, on whom the honor of kingship has not been conferred, but he will come in a time of tranquility and seize the kingdom by intrigue. Christianity attributes this passage and much of the rest of this chapter to Antiochus Epiphanes IV and the previous verse to Seleucus Philopator. But we can see from this verse alone, that is not possible. The passage says this despicable person will not have the honor of kingship. Antiochus Epiphanes was the king of the Seleucid Empire. This passage could not possibly be speaking of him. Regardless, Daniel 8 already spent plenty of time telling details of this evil king that oppressed Israel for six years. So who is this despicable person that arises in the place of Antiochus Epiphanes? The answer is in the description of Antiochus Epiphanes in Dan 8:9 And out of one of them came forth a rather small horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the Beautiful Land. Antiochus is referred to as a "little horn." Who is best to replace a "little horn," but another "little horn?" We have another "little horn" described for us in Daniel in the vision of the four beast in Daniel chapter 7. In particular we see this little horn in Daniel 7:9. Dan 7:9 “I kept looking Until thrones were set up, And the Ancient of Days took His seat; His vesture was like white snow, And the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was ablaze with flames, Its wheels were a burning fire. The replacement for the "little horn" of Antiochus Epiphanes is none other than the person of Muhammad and his barbaric religion of Islam. The similarities of these little horns are astounding. They both worshipped false gods. They both forced Israel to worship false gods under the penalty of death. They both set up their false gods at or in the site of the Temple. They both stopped Israel from performing their sacrifices and offerings to Elohim. They both declared themselves to be gods. They both desired and attempted to destroy the ones with whom Elohim made a covenant. The passage says that "a despicable person will arise, on whom the honor of kingship has not been conferred..." Muhammad was not a king. He claimed to have visions and claimed he was the prophet of Allah. The NASB states that he will come in a time of tranquility. However the term "time" is not in the Hebrew text. The NKJV translates this as "but he shall come in peaceably." Muhammad was originally asked to come to Medina to settle disputes between the Arabs and Jews. This was before he even started his religion of Islam. River Valley Torah Assembly

Lev. 25:3-5 This is one of the most astounding chapters of Scripture. The theme here is prayer and prophecy. The first 21 verses of this chapter pertain to the prayer of Daniel, and the last six verses give us the very important prophecy of the Seventy Weeks. Dan 9:24 “Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy place. "Seventy weeks" does not necessarily mean 490 days. The Hebrew word for weeks is "shabua" which means "a unit of measure of seven". This word is similar to our word dozen. A dozen can stand for twelve of anything. Gabriel is saying here that seventy "sevens" are determined for the people of Daniel. It could be seventy sevens of days, weeks, months, or years. In the context of this verse, it is plain that Daniel was reading in Jeremiah about 70 years. It would appear that what is being referred to is years. That is mostly correct, but not entirely. Why were the Israelites held in captivity for 70 years? Because they were disobedient to the Sabbath years of the land for 490 years. Lev 25:3-5 ‘Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather in its crop, 4but during the seventh year the land shall have a sabbath rest, a sabbath to the LORD; you shall not sow your field nor prune your vineyard. 5‘Your harvest’s aftergrowth you shall not reap, and your grapes of untrimmed vines you shall not gather; the land shall have a sabbatical year. Israel had violated the law of the sabbath pertaining to their land for 490 years. They did not let their land rest on the seventh year as Elohim had commanded. Elohim let them know He meant what He said. He let them be held captive to make up for the 70 Sabbath years they had missed. 2 Chron 36:20-21 And those who had escaped from the sword he carried away to Babylon; and they were servants to him and to his sons until the rule of the kingdom of Persia, 21to fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its sabbaths. All the days of its desolation it kept sabbath until seventy years were complete. The 70 weeks spoken here is broken up into three segments: 7 weeks, 62 weeks, and 1 week. Daniel must be puzzled here as to how the end of the 70 years of captivity would fit into the long period of Gentile domination over Israel shown in the previous visions in chapters 2, 7, & 8. Daniel had to think that at the end of the 70 years of Israel captivity his people would return to the land, the promised Messiah would come, and the kingdom which had been promised to David would be established. But what about these Gentile empires in Nebuchadnezzar's dream and the beasts that he had dreamt of in chapter 7? These had to be seemingly irreconcilable contradictions to Daniel. It says "Seventy weeks are determined for your people,..." The Hebrew word for "determined" here literally means "cutting off". The seventy sevens are to be cut off, or cut out, for Israel, as the following verses will indicate. The seventy sevens for Israel and the Time of the Gentiles will come to a close at the same time, which is at the return of Messiah. The seventy weeks concern "your people". It concerns Israel. They also concern "your holy city", which is Jerusalem. This verse is a summary of the prophecy of the seventy weeks.

The host of heaven (Israel), because of their transgression, was given over to the horn (Antiochus Epiphanes), along with the regular sacrifice. Dan 8:12 And on account of transgression the host will be given over to the horn along with the regular sacrifice; and it will fling truth to the ground and perform its will and prosper. The host of heaven (Israel), because of their transgression, was given over to the horn (Antiochus Epiphanes), along with the regular sacrifice. 2 Mac 5:15-20 "15But this was not enough, he presumed also to enter into the temple, the most holy in all the world Menelaus, that traitor to the laws, and to his country, being his guide. 16And taking in his wicked hands the holy vessels, which were given by other kings and cities, for the ornament and the glory of the place, he unworthily handled and profaned them. 17Thus Antiochus going astray in mind, did not consider that the Almighty was angry for a while, because of the sins of the inhabitants of the city: and therefore this contempt had happened to the place: 18otherwise had they not been involved in many sins, as Heliodorus, who was sent by king Seleucus to rob the treasury, so this man also, as soon as he had come, had been forthwith scourged, and put back from his presumption. 19But the Almighty did not choose the people for the places sake, but the place for the peoples sake. 20And, therefore, the place also itself was made partaker of the evils of the people: but afterwards shall communicate in the good things thereof, and as it was forsaken in the wrath of Almighty the Almighty, shall be exalted again with great glory, when the great Lord shall be reconciled." 2 Maccabees 6:1-11 1But not long after the king sent a certain old man of Antioch, to compel the Jews to depart from the laws of their fathers and of God: 2and to defile the temple that was in Jerusalem, and to call it the temple of Jupiter Olympius: and that in Garazim of Jupiter Hospitalis, according as they were that inhabited the place. 3And very bad was this invasion of evils, and grievous to all. 4For the temple was full of the riot and revealing’s of the Gentiles: and of men lying with lewd women. And women thrust themselves of their accord into the holy places, and brought in things that were not lawful. 5The altar also was filled with unlawful things, which were forbidden by the laws. 6And neither were the sabbaths kept, nor the solemn days of the fathers observed, neither did any man plainly profess himself to be a Jew. 7But they were led by bitter constraint on the kings birthday to the sacrifices: and when the feast of Bacchus was kept, they were compelled to go about crowned with ivy in honor of Bacchus. 8And there went out a decree into the neighboring cities of the Gentiles, by the suggestion of the Ptolemeans, that they also should act in like manner against the Jews, to oblige them to sacrifice: 9and whosoever would not conform themselves to the ways of the Gentiles, should be put to death: then was misery to be seen. 10For two women were accused to have circumcised their children: whom, when they had openly led about through the city, with the infants hanging at their breasts, they threw down headlong from the walls. 11And others that had met together in caves that were near, and were keeping the sabbath day privately, being discovered by Philip, were burnt with fire, because they made a conscience to help themselves with their hands, by reason of the religious observance of the day.

Dan 7:24 'As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings. Ten horns (powers) arise and another rises after them. This horn is Muhammad. He is different than the other ten in that he is very powerful and has ability to conquer. He started his desolation in 622 AD and continued until his death ten years later. Those caliphs ("successors" or "deputies of the prophet") carrying on his legacy by conquering the three other beasts described in this chapter. Within ten years, the Muslim Empire conquered Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Syria, and all of Mesopotamia. Within fifteen more years, the Caliphs conquered Armenia (Northern Turkey). That is, in order, the lion with two wings, the bear, and the leopard. These are the three kingdoms spoken of in this verse that were conquered by the little horn. Together these four beasts comprise the Beast of the Muslim Empire of the last days. This is further illustrated for us in Revelation 13:1-2. "And he stood on the sand of the seashore. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names. And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority." This beast is also spoken of in the book of Hosea. Hosea 13:6-9 As they had their pasture, they became satisfied, And being satisfied, their heart became proud; Therefore, they forgot Me. 7So I will be like a lion to them; Like a leopard I will lie in wait by the wayside. 8I will encounter them like a bear robbed of her cubs, And I will tear open their chests; There I will also devour them like a lioness, As a wild beast would tear them. 9It is your destruction, O Israel, That you are against Me, against your help. In that passage in Hosea, it is clear that these nations have come against Israel as a judgment by Elohim against them.
