God says, through Daniel, that at the Time of the End the King of the South shall attack him but the King of the North shall rush upon him like a whirlwind with chariots, Horsemen and with many ships; and he shall come into countries and shall overflow and pass through. Who are these people? Introduction The prophecy God gave to Daniel concerning the time of the end is critical to understanding what is to happen up to the coming of the Messiah and what is to happen regarding the entities and nations involved in this sequence of the Time of the End and what is to occur regarding the people involved in the Middle East and the surrounding nations, as the prophecy is centred on the Holy Land. However, it does develop into World War III and the Establishment of the Millennium (No. 300B) under Messiah and the Heavenly Host from the First Resurrection of the Dead (No. 143A).

Measuring the Temple - This paper is a lengthy exposition of the measuring of the Temple of God and the prophecies involving Israel and the nations over the last phase of thirty years up to the commencement of the Millennium. The removal of the three classes of leadership, namely the Priests, Prophets and Princes, is examined. The judgment of the sheep in relation to the way they treat each other is central to the last phase of the measurement. The parable of the sheep and goats is perhaps better understood from this text. The paper interrelates with the understanding of The Witnesses (No. 135) and The Warning of the Last Days (No. 144) together with the wars of the end. The Temple Measured The Measuring of the Temple began in 1987 and is almost complete. It ends in the 1260 days of the Witnesses from 2026-2030.

Satan's Rule ends in 2027 and with it all the religious and administrative systems he established. The Seventh millennium commences under the Messiah from 26 March 2028. The next six years will be a period of massive turmoil. Introduction God determined the Creation for a specific purpose as we saw in How God became a Family (No. 187). Mankind was to become Elohim as Sons of God (No. 001). The One True God Eloah detailed a specific Plan of Salvation (No. 001A; 001B; 001C; 001D). The Plan was to be in two divisions in the human phase up to the Second Resurrection (No. 143B). The First Division was to be under the Rule of Satan as Elohim and Morning Star of this planet. Adam was created in 4004 BCE and removed from Eden in 3974 BCE when Adam and Eve came under Judgment. Satan's rule commenced in 3974 BCE and went to 2027 CE over the 6000-year reign, or 120 Jubilees. The second part or division is the Seventh thousand-year Millennial reign of Christ. It commences on 26 March 2028 and lasts until 3027 and the Second Resurrection and the Judgment of Krisis or Correction of all mankind begins in 3027 and goes to 3127. Christ is in command of both phases in this Second Division. The purpose of the last phase of this creation and the final selection of the Holy Seed is explained in the two papers: The Holy Seed (No. 141E_3) and The Holy Seed Pt. II: The Final Selection (No. 141E_3B). Christian Churches of God No. 300B - Establishment of the Millennium. http://www.ccg.org/weblibs/study-papers/p300b.html

Open Discussion 1 - Millennial Reign of Christ .. Christ will come at the end of the period of the Witnesses to destroy the Empire of the Beast and for the Establishment the Millennium.

Open Discussion 2 - Millennial Reign of Christ (in Depth). Christ will come at the end of the period of the Witnesses to destroy the Empire of the Beast and for the Establishment the Millennium. Introduction During the time of Christ and the Apostles in the first century, primitive Christianity understood that a Millennial Reign of Christ, the Messiah, would occur. They understood that Satan had been allowed a rule of six thousand years and that would be replaced by the rule of Christ, who would reign for one thousand years, as we see in No. 299F. The biblical position presents clear and coherent evidence of a Millennium period that is specifically mentioned in Revelation 20:2-7. The thousand-year reign of the Messiah is referred to as a Millennium or Chiliad. That is represented by the Seventh Day Sabbath of the Fourth Commandment (No. 256). The restoration of the biblical system and the millennial advent of Messiah are also found in Zechariah 14:4-5. Christ said by parable that he had to go away and then return (Lk. 19:12). Contrarily, modern Christianity has lost the understanding of the Millennium. That loss of understanding was through the Gnostic Heaven and Hell heresy and the Trinitarian fabrications. Likewise the Churches of God in both Sardis and Laodicean eras, and especially the offshoots of Herbert Armstrong’s Worldwide Church of God, are in total confusion, and do not biblically understand the development that is to occur during the Millennial Reign of the Messiah. All of the various branches of Christianity and pseudo-Christianity have become antinomian and polytheist. Most of the church academics knew that the end of Satan's rule was in the 120th Jubilee of 2026-2027. They did know that Adam was created in 4004 BCE and they were expelled from Eden in 3974 BCE when Adam came under Judgment and Eden was closed and the earth was cursed (Nos. 246; 248; 272). God laid out what was to occur in the last days in many prophecies in both the OT and NT works, and most importantly in the Book of Revelation at the end of the First Century with the Apostle John. These activities are explained in the works dealing with the Time of the End (No. 141D_4D). Over the last four Centuries, before the coming of the Messiah, there was to be a time of unmerited blessings (Four Hundred Years of Abraham's Legacy (No. 212J). That period ended in Chislev (Nov.-Dec.) 2023. Before the Day of the Lord, there will be a rebellion or apostasy, a falling away (from apostasia) from the truth and the law among the elect. The man of lawlessness (anomias), so named for the falling away from the laws of God, through his teaching among the elect, is revealed (2Thes. 2:3-8). He sits in the Temple of God and is called God. This is not physical. He sits in the Temple of God, being an edifice that was already destroyed in 70 CE, and is called God. So he is one of the elohim acting as an elohim from the early church. He will be killed by Messiah at his coming. This is obviously an ongoing entity. The time of Lawlessness has been ongoing under Israel and Judah since they occupied the Holy Land. As a result Israel was sent into dispersion and Judah was sent with them over the last two thousand years. In the Last Days there will be an Empire of the Beast (299A). That final empire was confined to forty-two months and was to occur within a period of Great Tribulation (No. 141D_2) that would occur over the last five years before the Coming of the Messiah (Nos. 210A and 210B; 300; 300B).

Cities of Refuge are to be established under the Law of God. They will be established under the Millennial Reign of Christ and also in the Second Resurrection period. Under the Law, God provides for a facility that ensures safety for a number of classes of people that have sinned and committed offences but did not deserve to be put to death summarily. These aspects will be reintroduced into the Millennium under Messiah over the 1000 year reign but will also be implemented and maintained in the Second Resurrection as we will see. Cities of Refuge Numbers 35:9-34 And the LORD said to Moses,10"Say to the people of Israel, When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,11then you shall select cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer who kills any person without intent may flee there.12The cities shall be for you a refuge from the avenger, that the manslayer may not die until he stands before the congregation for judgment.13And the cities which you give shall be your six cities of refuge.14You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and three cities in the land of Canaan, to be cities of refuge.15These six cities shall be for refuge for the people of Israel, and for the stranger and for the sojourner among them, that any one who kills any person without intent may flee there.16"But if he struck him down with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall be put to death.17And if he struck him down with a stone in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall be put to death.18Or if he struck him down with a weapon of wood in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall be put to death.19The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death; when he meets him, he shall put him to death.20And if he stabbed him from hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died,21or in enmity struck him down with his hand, so that he died, then he who struck the blow shall be put to death; he is a murderer; the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when he meets him.22"But if he stabbed him suddenly without enmity, or hurled anything on him without lying in wait,23or used a stone, by which a man may die, and without seeing him cast it upon him, so that he died, though he was not his enemy, and did not seek his harm;24then the congregation shall judge between the manslayer and the avenger of blood, in accordance with these ordinances;25and the congregation shall rescue the manslayer from the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, to which he had fled, and he shall live in it until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil.26But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the bounds of his city of refuge to which he fled,27and the avenger of blood finds him outside the bounds of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood slays the manslayer, he shall not be guilty of blood.28For the man must remain in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest; but after the death of the high priest the manslayer may return to the land of his possession.29"And these things shall be for a statute and ordinance to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.30If any one kills a person, the murderer shall be put to death on the evidence of witnesses; but no person shall be put to death on the testimony of one witness.31Moreover you shall accept no ransom for the life of a murderer, who is guilty of death; but he shall be put to death.32And you shall accept no ransom for him who has fled to his city of refuge, that he may return to dwell in the land before the death of the high priest.33You shall not thus pollute the land in which you live; for blood pollutes the land, and no expiation can be made for the land, for the blood that is shed in it, except by the blood of him who shed it.34You shall not defile the land in which you live, in the midst of which I dwell; for I the LORD dwell in the midst of the people of Israel." There are specific laws for manslayers and these laws are covered in the texts concerning Law and the Sixth Commandment (No. 259) and also 259A).

Special Commentary – Job Parts 1-3. Introduction The Book of Job is one of the oldest and greatest works of Hebrew literature to come down to us as Scripture. Job is widely considered to be the third son of Issachar listed in Gen. 46:13 as Tola, Phuvah, Job and Shimron. It is also accredited to Moses as the first work of the Bible text, written by Moses in his sojourn in Midian under Hobab, the Jethro, High Priest of Midian, who taught Moses, his son-in-law, husband of Zipporah. He was taught in Midian, before, and so that he could be, and was, called by Christ and sent to Egypt to bring Israel out of Egypt in the First Exodus. We will allow Bullinger to discuss the point further below, with notes on the dates. The work of Job was written before the Pentateuch was written in Sinai forty years before entry to the Promised Land. (The timeline is detailed in the Outline Timetable of the Age (No. 272.) Job was alive when Moses was in Midian over the last fifteen or so years of his life and the first fifteen, or so, years that Moses was there under instruction. This gives us the time frame in which the text is written and it concerns a number of highly significant aspects. The text deals with the sequence of the creation and the place of the Elohim Host in their relation with both mankind and with the One True God Eloah. The misapplication of the sequence of the creation comes from the relocation of Job well into the later OT writings rather than in the sequence of the creation and that fraud is supported by all later scholars including the Trinitarians, as devotees of the Triune God, that seek to attribute the Creation away from Eloah to the Elohim of Psalm 45:6-7 that is identified as the being that became the Christ (Heb. 1:8-9). In so doing they attribute the re-creation of Gen. Chapter 1 as the primary creation so as to use that record in John 1:1-18 as the primary creation and in so doing misdirect the Theology of the Scriptures in accord with Satan's system of deception to establish Trinitarian Theology and Hadithic Islam, and the Sun and Mystery Cults throughout the world religions. The reality was that the world was created hundreds of millions of years ago and saw many sequences of humanoid creations under the activities of Satan and the Fallen Host and none were successful. The earth became tohu and bohu (Gen. 1:1-2) between the Twelfth and Fifth Millennia BCE and the Elohim were sent by the One True God to refurbish the earth in 4004 BCE, which they did with the re-creation of the planet and the creation of Adam and Eve, as we see in Gen. Ch. 1. God gave the law to Adam and under that law Adam could not come under Judgment until he was thirty which was in 3974 BCE. Adam and Eve were judged and the Garden of Eden was closed in 3974 BCE and Satan’s Rule of the Earth began in 3973 BCE. We see in Chs. 1 and 2 of Job that the Elohim host including Satan had access to the Throne of God at that time (Job. 1:6 and 2:1). We see also that at this time long before the law was given to Moses at Sinai that the Law of God (L1) and sin was attributed to mankind and Satan used the Law to test mankind as he did here with Job and with his family who were in effect destroyed by sin under the law. What transpires in the text is the fact that God allowed Satan to test a righteous man and his family and acquaintances against the Law and the Testimony in order to teach them, and the nations subsequently, concerning their trials and sins and their punishment. We also see that God intervened, firstly, by placing a limit to the test and, secondly, by reinstating Job, after he had been tested, both physically and spiritually, and in the eyes of his brethren. This whole sequence took place, in the first two centuries, while Israel was in Egypt. This sequence is thus an historical event under Moses.
