SPELLING EDITED J-35. WHEN do the 1335 DAYS in DANIEL 12:12 TRULY END? Please read Daniel 12:12. “Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.” So when does the 1,335th day end? The short and straight to the point answer is that for this PRESENT world the 1,335th day is the day of the rapture of the church. And for the world to come the 1335th day is the rapture of the saints who become saints DURING the 1000 year reign of Jesus. In other words, there are three harvests. Harvest #1 is Jesus who is the firstfruits unto God. Harvest #2 will be the faithful Christians IN Jesus Christ AT his coming. And harvest #3 will be after the 1000 year reign of Jesus has ended. And if you want the sound Biblical Scriptural evidence then you will have to read the long answer. I have been seeing for a long time that some verses of Scripture in the Old Testament have DUAL fulfillment. In other words, some prophecies that SEEM to be given as ONE single prophecy would logically seem to have one single fulfillment as well. But at times, some prophecies actually speak of TWO PARTS in that prophecy as having TWO fulfillments. In other words, one part of that prophecy will have a partial fulfillment first. And then, after a GAP of time, the other part of the prophecy will be fulfilled. A good example of this is that BOTH the FIRST and the SECOND comings of Jesus prophesied in Isaiah 9:6,7. Let us go ahead and read this prophecy to see the ORDER of the events in which the prophecy is prophesied to be fulfilled. Please read Isaiah 9:6,7. “For (Order of event #1 that has already been FULFILLED) unto us, a CHILD is BORN, (THEN comes Order of event #2 that has also already been FULFILLED) unto us a son is given: (Speaking of the Son of MAN, Jesus, the LAMB slain from the foundation of the world that Yahweh Himself provided to be sacrificed for the sins of the entire world so that whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God might be saved) and (And THEN Order of event #3 which is YET FUTURE and it is YET TO BE FULFILLED) the government shall be upon his shoulder: (Speaking of the WRATH of God when the kingdoms of this present world become the kingdom of God's dear Son) and ( And THEN will come Order of event #4 which is YET FUTURE after the wrath of God that is yet TO BE FULFILLED. Again, that is WHEN the government will be set upon the shoulder of Jesus IN the world to come to begin the 1000 year reign of Jesus, at which time) his NAME shall be CALLED Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, (Or more precisely, the father of everlasting life or the AUTHOR of eternal life as it says in Hebrews 5:9 where the Son of man was MADE perfect and he BECAME the author of eternal life after the cross) The Prince of Peace. I7. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”
Also, please notice WHO is doing the PERFORMING of His own spoken word of PROPHECY that came forth OUT FROM His mouth. It is Almighty God Yahweh the creator who is performing His own word. So to me, Jesus is the FULFILLMENT of the spoken word of PROPHECY. Jesus began as a THOUGHT in God’s mind as His secret plan of salvation. Not just the salvation of mankind that He had not yet created but also the RESTORATION of the entire universe by to PEACE having no WAR. God created the human race to pt and END to evil. Please read the studies under the heading >>>WHY ARE WE HERE-IS GOD AT WAR?<<< But for now, let us continue this study to learn when the 1335 days in Daniel will END. So now that you know what I mean by DUAL prophecy let us take a closer look at Daniel 12:6-13. “And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How LONG shall it be to the END of THESE wonders? (I read right over this word “THESE wonders” even after I learned from the New Testament that there will be TWO resurrections and TWO judgments. This FIRST resurrection will take place BEFORE the 1000 year reign of Jesus. And the FINAL resurrection will take place AFTER the 1000 years are finished. You can read Revelation chapter 20 on your own later. The “THESE wonders” are the TWO periods of great tribulation and the TWO resurrections in Daniel 12:1,2. BUT those two verses alone and by themselves do not give us every detail. So it SEEMS like this prophecy in Daniel chapter 12 is speaking about ONE great tribulation and ONE resurrection, and thus, one fulfillment. But yet the seventieth WEEK of Daniel is prophesying TWO 3 1/2 years of tribulation with a MIDST of the week BETWEEN the TWO 1,260 days of tribulation) 7. And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven and swore by Him that lives forever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. (Most Christians already know that the phrase “time, times, and a half” is speaking of the three and one-half years of the great tribulation right before the second coming of Jesus. But this verse is still yet talking about THESE things, as in, the TWO resurrections and the TWO judgments. And the seventieth week of Daniel prophesies that there will be 1,260 days of tribulation, THEN comes the MIDST of the week, and THEN ANOTHER 1,260 days of great tribulation before ALL THESE things are finished. Yea! I know! I never saw this truth before just the other day) 8. And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the END of THESE things? 9. And he said, Go your way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 10. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. 11. And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. (In other words, the 3 1/2 Biblical years of 360 days per each Biblical year adds up to the 1,260 days of the GREAT Tribulation which just increased to 1290 days. I will explain what I mean by this throughout the rest of this study in God’s word) 12 Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. (And now, we have 1335 days to the END of THESE things) 13 But go you your way till the END be: for you shall rest, and stand in YOUR LOT at the END of the DAYS.” Here is what I am seeing. The seventieth week of Daniel is seven Biblical years which totals to 2,520 days or 7 x 360 = 2,520 days exactly. And we know that there will be the MIDST of the seventieth week of Daniel where things will take place DURING the midst of the week. In other words, BETWEEN the first half of the seventieth week of EXACTLY 1260 days and the last half of the seventieth week of EXACTLY 1260 days there will be a gap of time where something happens DURING the MIDST of the week. But yet on the chart of the pre-tribulation rapture teaching, there is only a DOT or a vertical line separating the first half of the 2,520 days from the last half of the 2,520 days. To say this another way, there is NO ACTUAL MIDST of the week in the PRE-tribulation rapture teaching. There is only a DOT or a vertical line having NO DAYS for anything to happen DURING the midst of the seventieth week of Daniel. When this first jumped out at me several years ago is when I dug deeper into the Scriptures and wrote that study “WHEN IS THE MIDST OF THE 70th WEEK OF DANIEL?” And then the other day when I was correcting some spelling errors in that study I saw the DUAL fulfillment of the MIDST of the week for the first time. In other words, I believe that we are living IN the FIRST fulfilling of the MIDST of the week right now in this present world but there will also be ANOTHER midst of the week in the world to come. In other words, the second MIDST of the week will actually BE the 1000 year reign of Jesus itself. In the above-linked study, you will learn that the FIRST midst of the 70th week of Daniel BEGAN when God turned to the Gentiles with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And the END of the midst of the 70th week will end at the RAPTURE of the church at the second coming of Jesus. For you see, the church is NOT appointed to the WRATH of God. Thus, Jesus will first rapture the church and then execute the FIRST HALF of the wrath of God. All Christians know that there will be a WAR before the 1000 year reign of Jesus and a FINAL WAR after the 1000 years are finished. And most Christians are aware that Jesus will execute the WRATH of God BEFORE the 1000 years reign of Jesus BEGINS. And then, after the 1000 years has ended, Satan will be let loose from the bottomless pit to deceive the nations to make WAR one final time. And God will send fire down from heaven to END the final war after the 1000 years have ended. But what some Christians may have not yet noticed is that the wrath of God is called the HOUR of temptation in Revelation 3:10. There are ten verses in the Book of Revelation that have the word “HOUR” in them. And I believe that nine of those ten verses are connected to the WRATH of God being one hour long in the FIGURATIVE language where one full HOUR represents 30 days. I will explain WHY 30 days in a moment. First, I want you to read three verses in the Book of Revelation. I will quote two verses with the word hour and one verse with the words HALF an hour. Revelation 3:3. “Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come on you as a THIEF, and you shall not know what HOUR I will come upon you.” I chose this verse because most Christians know that when Jesus comes as a THIEF that Jesus will execute the WRATH of God. Also, remember that 2 Thessalonians 1:8 calls the wrath of God VENGEANCE. Jesus will be coming in flaming fire taking VENGEANCE upon the ungodly and DISOBEDIENT to the GOSPEL. So while the faithful Christians will not suffer the wrath of God the unsaved Jews WILL suffer 15 days of the WRATH of God before they repent for TEN days before the call upon the name of the Lord to be saved alive in their mortal bodies to receive FIVE days of GRACE to begin their seven-day feast of TABERNACLES. And I believe that the EIGHTH day will be ANOTHER day of Pentecost and the outpouring of the LATER RAIN of the Holy Spirit on the REMNANT of Jews ONLY. Pretty much a mirror image of the early church in this PRESENT world which began with the Jews ONLY before God turned to the Gentile nations with the gospel of Jesus Christ. So then, 15 days of the first HALF of God wrath plus the 15 days of the three fall feasts add up to 30 days. And when you add these 30 days to the 1,260 days of the GREAT tribulation you have the 1,290 days prophesied in Daniel chapter 12 as the time of TROUBLE such as has never been before even to THAT same time. Please read Daniel 12:1,2. “And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which stand for the children of your people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to THAT SAME time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. (Keep in mind that God will turn AGAIN a SECOND TIME to deliver his people. In other words, there will be TWO periods of GREAT tribulation separated by the MIDST of the week. To say this another way there will be TWO church ages. The first church age is right now IN this PRESENT world. And the second and final church age will be DURING the world to come which will have ANOTHER period of GREAT tribulation after the END of the 1000 years) 2. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.” Now read Revelation 3:10. “Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the HOUR of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.” In other words, Jesus is saying to those who will be alive to go through the 1,260 days of the Great Tribulation to endure unto the end to NOT take up the sword to save their mortal lives, that he will keep them from the HOUR of the WRATH of God. Now let us take a look at the HALF of an hour of God’s wrath being described as SILENCE for the space of HALF and HOUR. Revelation 8:1. “And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of HALF an hour.” Now when you take a closer look at the SEVENTH seal, the SEVENTH trumpet, and the SEVENTH vial you will find that all three are referring to the WRATH of God. Since the seventh trumpet is real easy to see this truth, we will read that passage of Scripture first. And then we will come back the HALF an hour of God’s wrath in the seventh seal. Please read Revelation 11:11-19. “And after three days and a half (Or after 1260 DAYS of the GREAT tribulation using the day for a year interpretation) the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, COME UP hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. (Or they were RAPTURED as their enemies watch them being caught up into the air. Now our CHANGE from mortal to immortal will happen INSTANTLY so they will be no time for anyone to repent to receive eternal life once they start seeing Christians being caught up into the air. Remember that the dead in Jesu Christ will be resurrected first. And then we will all be changed at the same moment in time in a twinkling of an eye AT the sounding of the LAST trumpet in the Book of Revelation. And then we will be CAUGHT UP into the AIR or the atmosphere of the earth just like 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 describes. And the angels will gather us together and take us to MEET Jesus in the AIR over the place called Armageddon where we will be given the HONOR to help Jesus execute the wrath of God which is called the marriage supper of God and the marriage supper of the Lamb) 13. And the SAME HOUR there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant was affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. (And over the next 15 days of repentance and calling on God to be saved the 1,290 days will come to an end. Nd then, the 1000 year reign of peace will begin. Satan will be bound fr 1000 years. But first comes the 1,260 days of the great tribulation which are the first SIX seals, the first SIX trumpets, and the first SIX vials before 30 days the WRATH of God that is the seventh trumpet, the seventh seal, and the seventh vial) 14. The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe comes quickly. (The third woe is the WRATH of God that will be executed on the same DAY of the rapture of the church and it will last 30 days) 15. And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever. (Or more precisely the 1000 years reign of PEACE will actually begin right after the 1,290 DAYS or 30 days after the 1260 days of the GREAT tribulation) 16. And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, 17. Saying, We give you thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which are, and were, and are to come; because you have taken to you your great power, and have reigned. 18. And the nations were angry, and your WRATH IS come, AND the time of the dead, that they should be judged, AND that you should give REWARD unto your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear your name, small and great; and should destroy them which destroy the earth. 19. And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.” In other words, there will be NO PRE-tribulation rapture of the church to ESCAPE the great tribulation and receive rewards up in heaven DURING the great tribulation. For you see, according to this passage of Scripture the REWARDS will be given to the saints AFTER the WRATH of God. There will be NO CONTINUOUS seven years of great tribulation no stop having NO TRUE MIDST of the week. And just a DOT on a chart is NOT a TRUE midst of the week. It is just a DOT that has NO TIME for anything to take place. So there will be NO so-called peace treaty signed and kept for a short TIME DURING The MIDST of the week before the antichrist breaks that so-called peace treaty to begin the last half of the seventieth week of Daniel. The PRE-tribulation rapture is FALSE teaching. The church WILL go through the entire 1,260 DAYS of the GREAT tribulation but we are NOT appointed to the WRATH of God. Now let go back to the SEVENTH seal which is described as a HALF an HOUR of God’s WRATH. In the fifth seal, the saints in heaven who will come WITH Jesus FOR the saints on the earth are told to wait just a little longer. And in the sixth seal, we can see that the world KNOWS that the WRATH of God is just about to be poured out upon them and they are running and hiding from the face of the lamb. Please read Revelation 6:9-17. “And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? (Or how much longer before you execute vengeance?) 11. And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. 12. And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 13. And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs when she is shaken of a mighty wind. (These are the SAME sings in the SUN, the MOON, and the STARS that we see in Matthew 24:29-31 which ALL Christians agree is the SECOND coming of Jesus) 14. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16. And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sits on the throne, and from the WRATH of the Lamb: 17. For the great day of His WRATH is come; and who SHALL be able to stand?” Then in the very next chapter, we see 144,000 Jews being sealed. And we also see the RAPTURE of the church that just came out of the 1260 days of the GREAT tribulation in Revelation 7:9-17 dressed in WHITE robes. And THEN, in Revelation 8:1, we as the FIRST HALF of God’s HOUR of WRATH in the SEVENTH seal, the SEVENTH trumpet, and in the SEVENTH vial. For you see, God has MERCY on the children of Israel and God LIFTS his wrath to finish delivering his people lest he does not leave himself a REMNANT left alive in their mortal bodies to go into the Millennium to be taught of the Lord. So then, with the understanding of the FULL wrath of God being added onto the 1,260 days of great tribulation before the 1000 year reign of PEACE actually begins we learn that the full wrath of God is 30 days. In other words, 1,290 days - 1,260 days = 30 days. And HALF of the 30 days of God’s wrath is 15 days. And if we add 15 days to 1260 of the great tribulation that we only have 1,275 days which is 15 days short of the 1,290 days. But there are the FALL feasts that need to be fulfilled. There is the feast of TRUMPET on the FIRST day of the seventh month, Then there is the feast of the ATONEMENT on the TENTH day of the seventh month. And then there is the feast of TABERNACLES on the FIFTEENTH day of the seventh month which is when I believe that the 1000 year reign of PEACE of Jesus will ACTUALLY begin. So then, if we add the 15 days to when the actual 1000 years begin to the 1,275 days we end up with 1,290 days BEFORE the 1,000 years actually begins. Now, let us take the WHOLE seventieth week of Daniel which is 2,520 DAYS and subtract the 1,290 DAYS for the FIRST half of the seventieth week PLUS the wrath of God before the MIDST of the seventieth week begins and we end up with 1,230 days which is 30 days SHORT of being 1,260 days of the LAST HALF of the seventieth week of Daniel. But wait, there is still the prophecy of the 1,335 days that still need to be worked into the fulfillment of the prophecy in Daniel chapter 12. So then, if we take 1335 days minus the 1,290 days that will have already been fulfilled at the FIRST harvest of people right BEFORE the 1000 years actually begins then we end up with 45 days. In other words, 1335 days - 1,290 days = 45 days. I will explain in a moment why the 45 days when we would logically think that things should work out to 30 days. Now let us add that 45 days to the 1,230 days which was SHORT 30 days to be EXACTLY 1,260 days of the last half of the seventieth week of Daniel AFTER the MIDST of the week comes to an end and we get 1,275 days. And that is fifteen days too many. So let us subtract the 15 days for the three feast days. And 1,275 days - 15 days = 1,260 days of GREAT tribulation at the END of the 1000 year reign of Jesus. But what about the 15 extra days BEFORE the 1000 year reign of Jesus? I believe that there will be 15 days of SILENCE in HEAVEN right after the rapture of the church. During that 15 days of people left behind down of the surface of the earth will looking up at what THEY will believe as a UFO invasion, Some people will wonder if the ufos are coming in peace or if they are coming to take over the earth. They will be wondering why the ufos only snatched away some of the people. They will wonder, are the ufos coming to make war or to make peace. And the answer is BOTH. Those who run and hide will be chased down and slain. Those who fight against the ufos will be slain. And those who surrender will be saved alive in their mortal bodies to enter into the Millennial reign of PEACE to learn to not make war anymore. Please read the study “WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT UFOS?” Again, please read all the studies under the heading >>>PROPHECY---THE COMING OF JESUS!<<< In that one link, I have links to all the studies that I have written of the rapture of the church, the great tribulation, the mark of the beast, the seventieth week of Daniel, the 1000 year reign of Jesus, and virtually every subject that deals with the end-time events. You will learn the ERRORS of INTERPRETATIONS made by all the false teachings from full preterism to the second coming of Jesus being at the end of some so-called NON-LITERAL 1000 years. Thanks for reading and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the truth of the whole word of Almighty God Your brother in our Lord Jesus Christ, Brother Mark. RETURN TO HOMEPAGE AT . |
