Daniel 9:24

 Seventy weekshave 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. NASB

Transgression spoken of here is certainly what Daniel had prayed about in verse eleven: “Yes all Israel has transgressed Your law, and has departed so as not to obey Your voice…”  Therefore, Israel’s transgression was a blatant disobedience to God, which is rebellion against God and a rejection of His laws and teachings.

But the definite article attached to the word in verse 24—the transgression—suggests that there is a more specific transgression that Israel as a nation is guilty of.  We don’t see the definite article in verse eleven, I suppose because Daniel is not aware of any specific sin…

Daniel 9:24: Seventy Weeks Have Been Decreed for Israel

Stephen Nielsen's avatarStudying Bible Prophecy

Daniel 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.  NASB

 

 Have been decreed forThis term may reveal more than you think.  It could either be translated as “are determined for,” “are decreed for,” or “have been decreed for.”  The preposition “for” may also be translated as “upon.”  The basic meaning of this verb is “cut” or “divide.”  According to Barns, “The meaning would seem to be, that this portion of time—the seventy weeks—was “cut off” from the whole of duration, or cut out of it, as it were, and set by itself for a definite purpose.”  Dr. Leon Wood (from Thomas Ice’s commentary) says, “The thought is that…

Satan’s Master Plan for the World

Satan’s has a master plan for global control and world domination. As I see it, after Satan and the Antichrist (who will come on the scene later in the Tribulation), there are four levels of authority to Satan’s plan.

Level Four: Satan’s Elite Followers. Under Satan will be his followers, the Elite. The bible tells us that there will be Ten Kingdoms. They may exist now, or not. But they certainly will be revealed after the Rapture and in the Tribulation. Most of the elite leaders I think do exist now, and they are planning their schemes; and I’m sure they will have input into forming the ten kingdoms. And when the Antichrist comes on the scene, of course, he will have the most say in what happens, because he will be controlled and empowered by Satan.

We don’t know how connected all the elite are to Satan. Some may be true Satan worshippers, but others may be just blind followers. Regardless, all are willing followers—whether they truly believe in Satan or not.

Level Three: Suppliers of Big Tech. You’ve heard the saying, “follow the money.” Well, Satan is well aware that his master plan will need lots of money. Big Tech will be the suppliers of the master plan, and they will use their money and power to build the plan, and also to shut down all institutions and business that don’t go along with the plan—as they have jumped on board with the Great Reset, pushed by the founders of the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab. Hence, we have seen recently how Amazon, Google, and Twitter very quickly shut down Parler, simply because they are a conservative company that does not agree with the master plan.

Level Two: Enforcers. The enforcers are very important. They are the link between Big Tech (and the Elite) and the common people, you and me. They are the liberal left politicians, along with the media. As it appears presently, almost all of the Democrats are in this group, from the House and Senate on down to the Governors and Mayors. If they are Democrats, it appears that they are included in the master plan. And certainly, if the police and the military are on the left side, they too will be included.

Level One: Willing Followers. This group is by far the largest. They do not have any authority, but their willingness to follow established liberal authority makes them powerful and very dangerous to all outsiders (those conservatives who are against the master plan). Their power exists in being reporters of all violations of the plan. Many will probably pride themselves in reporting violators and they will be rewarded.

Why is Big Tech Silencing Conservative Speech by Shutting Down Parler?

Why are Big tech companies like Amazon, Google and Apple trying to silence conservative speech by shutting down the twitter company Parler? Why are they trying to kill the competition? Why are they trying to kill free speech? Parler CEO is concerned.

Parler CEO: Tech Companies Coordinated Plan to Close Us Down

(Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures”)

By Eric Mack    |   Sunday, 10 January 2021 09:08 AM

The silencing of conservative speech on social media has spiraled into a “coordinated effort” by big tech to close down Parler, according to the social media platform’s CEO John Matze.

“Every vendor from text message services to email providers to our lawyers all ditched us too on the same day,” Matze told “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo.

Matze was appearing after releasing a statement on the attempts to “destroy” his business.

“This was a coordinated attack by the tech giants to kill the competition in the marketplace,”

Matze’s statement read. “We were too successful too fast.

“You can expect the war on competition and free speech to continue, but don’t count us out. #speakfreely.”

Matze’s statement comes as Amazon is removing the platform from its webservers, which might take the conservative social media platform down for about a week.

“Sunday at midnight Amazon will be shutting off all of our servers in an attempt to completely remove free speech off the Internet,” he wrote. “There is a possibility Parler will be unavailable on the Internet for up to a week as we rebuild from scratch.

“We prepared for events like this by never relying on Amazon’s proprietary infrastructure and building bare metal products.”

Matze called out Amazon, Google, and Apple for orchestrating the “coordinated effort.”

“We will try our best to move to a new provider right now as we have many competing for our business; however, Amazon, Google, and Apple purposely did this as a coordinated effort knowing our options will be limited and knowing this would inflict the most damage right as President Trump was banned from the tech companies.”

The move was “an assault on everybody,” told Fox News.

“They all work together to make sure at the same time we would lose access to not only our apps, but they’re actually shutting all of our servers off tonight, off the internet,” Matze said. “They made an attempt to not only kill the app, but to actually destroy the entire company. And it’s not just these three companies. Every vendor from text message services to email providers to our lawyers all ditched us too on the same day.”

So, we have heard what happened, but do we really know why? Are the Big Tech companies really that concerned about the safety of the people in the Capitol or of democracy? Are they really that afraid of Trump and what he will do next? Are they afraid that free speech by Parler will incite more violence? Just what is their agenda?

I suggest that there is something much more devious going on. I suggest that the Big Tech companies are aligned with the movement called The Great Reset. It is a movement with a master plan for global control. This movement, led by “elitist” leaders like Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab and George Soros, have an agenda to tear down all old systems and buildings and to get rid of anything and anybody that doesn’t fit into their plans for a new world and a new world order.

And guess what? Conservatives, especially Christian conservatives do not fid into their master plan. So, this is why they are trying desperately to stop us and to shut us down. They, through Big Tech, will continue to try to silence our speech anyway they can: to shut down our twitter access, email accounts, Facebook accounts, and all social media access. In addition, as you know colleges have been shutting down conservative speech for some time. And now they are attempting to shut down Christian churches through the pretext of a pandemic. Most recently, they have diabolically stollen an election in order to quickly bring in their willing puppets, Biden and Harris, who will lead the country into the Great Reset—into the New World Order.

Why Bible Prophecy is Hidden from Most Christians – from Luke 18:31-34

Here are four different colored horsed depicting four different things that will occur in the future, from Revelation 6:1-8

And He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things which are written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished. 32 “For He will be delivered to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and mistreated and spit upon, 33 and after they have scourged Him, they will kill Him; and the third day He will rise again. ”  34 And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend the things that were said (Luke 18:31-34).

In the above text Jesus foretells to His disciples His death and resurrection. And, in verse 34, we see that what He was telling them kind of went into one ear and out the other. They just didn’t get it. The full meaning was hidden from them. Why? Here are two reasons:

1. Because they weren’t ready or willing to except it. They were expecting His kingdom to come soon and they couldn’t believe that it would not come in their lifetime—and that He would soon die. They weren’t ready for that and couldn’t believe it. So, in their mind they rejected it.

2. So that Scripture would be fulfilled without interference. If they had partially understood, certainly things would have been different. They may have organized a protest. Or on the other extreme, if they had fully understood, Peter wouldn’t have denied Him, etc. But God could not let either of those things happen. Scripture had to be fulfilled as written. He must suffer and die as written in the prophets, so that our salvation would occur as promised—to all those that believe.

Applied to Us Today

In this day, just as in New Testament times, many believers, even pastors, in the same way do not understand the prophetic words of Scripture. It is mysteriously hidden from them. I remember one time when I was speaking to my pastor about a passage in Daniel 9. I don’t remember all the details of what was spoken (it was a long time ago), but I remember him saying to me, “What in the world are you talking about?” What I was saying just wasn’t registering to him, and he refused to listen to me. I see now that he, and many like him, are blinded from the truth of Bible prophecy. It is hidden from them.

Why is it hidden from them? Partly because they do not take the time to study it. Also, providentially speaking, if they did fully understand, the prophetic word of God would not play out as decreed in Scripture. Things would happen to incorrectly delay (or speed up) His coming and to change Scripture. But that cannot happen and will not happen. Hence, we must not be upset over all those who do not understand Bible prophecy; for it is in the providential will of God in order that all Scripture be fulfilled.

However, I’m sure that it is God’s will that as many as are willing to study the prophetic Scripture, He will help them; He will help that select few, to find the truth about what has been said in regard to future things.

How Christians Can Begin to Understand Bible Prophecy

If you think you are one of God’s chosen few who will come to understand future things, I think I can help you. Here are two good websites to aid you:

Olive Tree Ministries at https://olivetreeviews.org

This is one of the best sites for Bible prophecy information, as well as to get a correct Christian world view. The thing that I really like on this site is the weekly, on line, radio show where Jan Markell (the founder) interviews one or two bible prophecy experts.

Koenig, World Watch Daily at https://www.watch.org

Founder Bill Koenig is a Christian White House news journalist. From this site you will get the best up to date White House and world news from a Christian perspective. It is the best news source I know of.

Daniel 9:3-27: Daniel’s Prayer and God’s Immediate Answer

Stephen Nielsen's avatarStudying Bible Prophecy

Daniel prayingIn an earlier post I mentioned how Daniel’s prophecy (Daniel 9:24-27) clearly shows both the time line and the purpose of the rapture. We will continue now in this post to look at the situation of the prophecy, which is Daniel’s prayer. We will also look briefly at God’s immediate answer, which is the prophecy.

Daniels prayer (Daniel 9:3-19).  From Daniel 9:2 we learn that Daniel knew of the writings of Jeremiah and of his prophecies regarding their seventy years of captivity.  He was also aware of the reason for their captivity: mainly because for so long they had not obeyed the Lord in keeping the laws of the Sabbath rest; thus by their exclusion God intended to restore the land by giving it rest for the exact number of Sabbath years that it had been violated—seventy years.

Long before Daniel’s time God clearly prophesied these things.

How Daniel 9:24-27 Shows Us the Rapture—An Introduction

Stephen Nielsen's avatarStudying Bible Prophecy

The rapture is never mentioned in the Old Testament. It was kept a secret until the New Testament.  But through our enlightenment provided by the New Testament, we see now that Daniel 9:24-27 clearly shows both the time line and the purpose of the rapture.  Many have disagreed with this, but those who have taken the time to closely inspect this passage will have to admit that there is something to what I am saying.

 If you are at all interested in this topic, stay tuned to my next several blog posts.  But for now, for this particular post, I will just copy the text and let you read it.

The Great Reset Is Coming Fast

There is so much talk lately about the Great Reset. It has been in the works for many years; but now, with so much lawlessness, the riots, Covid-19, and voter fraud, it seems to be coming fast. In this blog post I will present my information from two sources: first, from an article by Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum; secondly, by a Jan Markell interview with two Bible prophecy experts, pastor Billy Crone and pastor Brandon Holthaus.

I. From an article by Klaus Schwab: Now is the time for a ‘great reset’

Klaus Schwab is the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, which I would say is one of the main promoters and architect of the great reset. Here, in six points, is his promotion of this great reset:

1. Klaus Schwab wants to “reset the world.”

2. Schwab says, “In every crisis there is an opportunity [for the reset].”

3. He said, “We can emerge from this crisis [Covid-19] a better world, if we act quickly and jointly.” (My words: Obviously, he is a globalist, not a nationalist.)

4. Schwab said, “We could be facing the worst depression since the 1930’s. To achieve a better outcome, we need to act quickly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies. Everything must be transformed. We need a great reset.” (Italics for emphasis)

5. Schwab said, “We must build entirely new foundations for our economic and social systems.”

6. Schwab gives these three components to the great reset (shortened and summarized in my words).

  • Governments to improve coordination: in taxes, trade, reforms, new rules. (you see the global initiative here)
  • Ensure that investments advance shared goals: like building green urban infrastructures and improving the environment.
  • Harness the innovations of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. To address health and social challenges –therapeutics, vaccines, testing centers. (sounds like they are anticipating more viruses)

II. From Jan Markell’s Interview entitled, Antichrist Kingdom Rising (Part 1)

The following information is from my notes of this online radio interview. I will present it in four main points with subpoints.

What is the Great Reset and how will it work?

  1. It is a master plan for global control that was unveiled in Switzerland.
  2. The plan consists of tearing down all old systems and building one new global system. You may see now part of the tear down plan in the works, such as…
    • Lawlessness and riots
    • Covid-19 (which may have been purposely planned in order to make people fearful in order to confuse and better control them)
    • Voter fraud (all in the plan to get rid of Donald Trump, who has been a great hindrance to the global plan)
  3. A new world Order in which all nations and governments work together.
    • A global currency
    • Global viruses and vaccines
  4. New leadership
    • Elitist from all over the world will come together to make plans: people like Bill Gates, Dr. Fouche, Klaus Swab and George Soros
    • The UN and groups like the World Economic Forum will try to take control
    • The U. S. Democrats along with the media will be involved
    • Biden and Harris will play their part as puppets
    • Ultimately, one world leader will take control: The Antichrist
  5. How the reset plan will work
    • Basically, the plan is to control the world of people through fear, using such things as man made viruses and wearing masks and shut downs (and it has thus far worked pretty good).
    • To establish new credit ID’s
    • Global wealth distribution
    • Universal health care
    • Basic housing
    • Merging man with machine

The Church

Unfortunately, most of the church is in the dark as to what is going on, because pastors refuse to learn and teach their people anything about Bible prophecy. Much of the blame should go to the Seminaries and bible colleges, most of which are a-millennial.

Voter Fraud

It has been going on for decades in Communist countries, and now it is here in America. I think it will continue to be used by the globalists in order to control the nations and all people. It recently has been used to stop Donald Trump and his hold on America. Soon we will see America join the socialists of the world and be connected to world power and the Antichrist. 

Vaccines

Governments won’t force vaccines on the people. We will instead see big businesses forcing it. We have already heard, mainly from Israel, that people won’t be able to buy anything from stores, or go anywhere by planes unless they are marked with the vaccine. These new vaccines aren’t like any normal vaccine. They will modify your DNA. It is a genetic modification technology. It could be a permanent change in your DNA. And it will somehow mark you so that scanners will know if you have taken the vaccine or not. Also, another element of the vaccine is called hydrogel, or nano-technology (little robots inside your body), which will connect you to artificial technology.

If this all sound scary, it is (but I am not sure I believe it entirely as Billy Crone has described it). But the Christian doesn’t have to worry anyway, because I think we will be gone, raptured by that time—which may be very soon. Yes, if this new vaccine does what I have just described, maybe that means the rapture is very very soon. But even if it is delayed, I still am not too worried, and I probably will get the vaccine along with everybody else. God will protect me until He comes.

3 Key Bible Passages That Describe the Rapture — # 2: 1 Corinthians 15:51-52

Stephen Nielsen's avatarStudying Bible Prophecy

95210018_0001

 

1 Corinthians 15:51-52

 Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.

Here the rapture is spoken of as a mystery, or as something previously hidden, but now revealed—for it was never mentioned in the Old Testament and only mentioned one time in the gospels, in John 14:1-3.  The Corinthians had not heard of it before, but apparently it was revealed to Paul by the Holy Spirit.

The teaching of the rapture here is quite self-explanatory: (1) all those of the church, living and dead, at the point of the rapture will be changed, or transformed—our corruptible bodies will become incorruptible; (2) it will happen very rapidly—as fast as…
