HAS DANIEL BEEN OPENED?

Is mankind the brunt of some cosmic joke? Are we really the creation of a loving God or are we, as Zecharia Sitchin insists, the creation of space travelers who are also men? Sitchin takes his information from the Sumerian records and is one of less than a dozen people that can read Sumerian.

In addition to the Sumerian records, there are Akashic records that can only be read in a trance. I am not privy to just how this works but I once worked with a man who claimed his wife read from the Akashic records. According to him, it is a record of the past 25,000 years of man’s existence on planet earth. According to him, some 25,000 years ago, a starship from Venus came to earth for the purpose of imparting souls to mankind, who, at that time, was little more than an ape.

Rather than go off following these self appointed gurus, we need to exercise some caution, because “…broad is the path that leads to destruction.” Is there another path and do we have a choice?

So is there a battle for men’s souls with a Devil on one end of a tug-o-war rope and a loving God on the other? Or are these myths we have been raised on and promoted by virtually every institution on earth? Have we been had? Is there a place we can go to get the truth? “What is truth?” Is there about to be a “rapture” where all the “good” people on earth are going to be whisked away to a place called heaven leaving us heathens to face the “tribulation”? What is the “tribulation”?

Isn’t this the language of “religionists”? Do they really know what they are talking about? And what is religion anyway? We normally turn to Webster when we need a definition of a word, so perhaps we should look to see what he has to say about religion: He goes through 5 definitions but the final one is the one that encapsulates “religion”. “An awareness or conviction of the existence of a supreme being, arousing reverence, love, gratitude, the will to obey and serve, and the like; as, man only is capable of religion.”

Doesn’t that pretty well sum it up? Now, given this intro into religion, which one of the 1,000 or so religions should we ascribe to? Are they all lighting the path to heaven? Or is this also one of the myths we have been raised on? Where do they get their beliefs? If they get them from a book called the “Bible”, then why is there no unanimity among Protestants, who all claim to get their beliefs from that book? Is it possible that we have reached the time described in the final book of that best seller which says, (Revelation 12:9), “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, which deceives the whole world”? Is this where we find ourselves today?

Perhaps we should look further into this book which many own but few have read. And those who have read it say, almost with one voice, “I can’t under-stand the Bible.” Is there a reason why? Perhaps we should look.

In the 28th chapter of Isaiah (one of the major prophets), we find a question asked, presumably by the one called God. Verse 9: “Whom shall he teach knowledge? And whom shall he make to understand doctrine?” He then goes on to answer the question in the same verse. “Them that are weaned from the milk and drawn from the breasts.” In other words, those that are mature --- not children. Verse 10 goes on to say, “For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little and there a little:”

Verse 11 goes on: “For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.”

12. “To whom he said, ‘This is the rest wherewith you may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.”

Is this saying that the world as a whole has not heard the words recorded in this book? Can this be? We have those we call ministers of God on the TV every Sunday morning expounding the “Word of God”, is it possible they have overlooked this choice bit of knowledge? And why would a loving God speak to this people with stammering lips and “…another tongue”? Is it that he doesn’t want us to understand? The answer to this question will be rejected by virtually all the televangelists but it is given in the very next verse in the same chapter. Let’s read it.

13. “For the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line; here a little and there a little; that they might go and fall backward, and be broken and snared and taken.” Can this be so???

Is it possible we have been taught an erroneous concept of God? Is it possible that we are counted among those of the “…whole world” whom Satan has deceived???

Instead of the truth, could it be that we have been raised on myths like Santa and the Easter bunny and Columbus discovered America?

Is there a way to “get our bearings” in this world of deception? Or is this merely more religious hype? You really need to find out for yourself because, by any measuring stick you choose to use, we are living in a world that is doomed to die a violent death and soon. No, I am not a prophet of gloom and doom predicting the end of the world. That is more of the myth we have been raised on. The concept of heaven and hell we were raised with comes from a 13th century spoof on religion written by a Greek named Dante Alleghiri entitled “The Divine Comedy”. This concept was pushed by the prophets of the “Mother of Harlots” (Rev 17:1) to her Protestant daughters and has no basis in fact. It is myth.

“Columbus discovered America” is more of the myths promoted in the late 1800s by one of the support institutions for this “Mother of Harlots”, and is for the purpose of clouding history in order to hide the identity of the fourth beast of the book of Daniel, found in chapter 7.

You see, the book of Daniel was a corollary of messages and visions given to the prophet Daniel to be written down for us today. But it was to be sealed until the “end time”. Not the end of the world, as myth would have it, but rather the end of the age. You see, Noah closed out one age and ushered in another. This is about to happen again.

Daniel was a member of an ox-cart society about 600 BC and could not understand the visions and messages he was given to record and pass on to us today. He said this in chapter 12, verse 8 of the book of Daniel. In verse 9, the angel who was giving him these visions and messages to record for us, had this to say: “Go your way Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.”

And in the next verse we get into some heavy stuff because the angel went on to say in verse 10: “Many shall be purified and made white and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall under-stand; but the wise shall understand”.

What is it the wise are to understand? The topic of discussion here is the book of Daniel. Isn’t the angel here dividing the “end time world” into only two camps --- The wicked and the wise? And isn’t he showing us how to tell the difference? The wise will understand the book of Daniel and that is one camp. The other camp is comprised of the wicked! And the book of Daniel is to be opened to the understanding of the wise at the end time. Do you know if that book has been opened?

The Opening of the book of Daniel will be posted shortly on this website and will be short, concise and readable. No charge, no requests for donations, nothing to subscribe to and no group to join.

ARE YOU FIRSTFRUITS MATERIAL?

ARE YOU FIRSTFRUITS MATERIAL?

Have you seriously asked yourself this question? Have you considered the ramifications of the answer? Do you understand the first priority of the first-fruits? It may come as a surprise, especially if you are indoctrinated into the various Catholic/Protestants precepts of religiosity.

First off we need to realize that Satan has deceived the whole world, and yes, that includes you and I. (See Revelation 12:9) We only emerge from this deception one precious truth at a time. The apostle Paul commended the Bereans because they “…received the word with all readiness of mind and searched the scriptures daily whether these things were so.” When we hear some strange new doctrine, do we receive it “…with all readiness of mind”? Or do we reject it and cling to that “Old Time Religion”? The wisest man who ever lived said, “He who answers a matter before hearing it, to him it is folly.”

If you even understand who the “firstfruits” are, then you have come beyond the “Old Time Religion”. When we come to understand it, the old time religion has been handed down to us by the Vatican and teaches myths like Santa (ever notice that it has the same letters as Satan?), the easter bunny, the law is done away and many other myths. To illustrate this, I simply ask you to look at all the Catholic baggage the protestants carry. First is the counterfeit sabbath and all the pagan holidays. And if we do our homework, we will find that the Catholic Church is the mother church to the protestants.

This calls to mind a scripture in the book of Revelation, chapter 17, verse 5, about the “…MOTHER OF HARLOTS…” Do we have any clues as to who this “MOTHER” is and who her harlot daughters are?

But let’s move on to the firstfruits and their first priority. If you have ever wondered how many of these there will be, you can find the answer in Revelation 14:1-4. We have been taught the myth that when Christ returns that the touchdown will be on the Mount of Olives just east of the Dome of the Rock. I submit to you that is not true but that the touchdown point will be at Mount Sinai. Not the tourist trap Mount Sinai but the real Mount Sinai which is in Saudi Arabia some 75 miles from tourist trap Mount Sinai and is named Jabal Al Lawz (mount of the law) by the Arabs. They never lost sight of the fact that this is Mount Sinai; it is the “Christian world” that has been deceived on this issue. So just what do I base this perspective on and how do I know that the “Christian world” is in error as to the place of descent? If you read the 28th chapter of Isaiah, you find these words in verse 9: “Whom shall He teach knowledge and whom shall He make to understand doctrine?” If you read on, you find that “…precept must be upon precept … line upon line … here a little and there a little.” This is how we learn new truth.

Now let’s see if we can apply this and learn something new although it isn’t new at all but has been in your Bible for centuries, even millennia. We know that the prophets of old were sent to the nations of Israel and Judah with messages from the Creator. Those messages were of impending doom for those nations if they continued their idolatry. Did it happen? Of course it happened! And yet those prophecies carry a message for us today and many of them state quite clearly that it is for the “…last days”. With this in mind, let’s turn to Isaiah 63 and see if we can get a handle on what is just ahead for us as a nation and as a world.

Isaiah 63:1 “Who is this that comes from Edom with dyed garments from Bozrah? This that is glorious in his apparel, traveling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”

This can be none other than the returning Christ as we shall see.

63:2 “Why are you red in your apparel and your garments like him that treads in the winefat?”

63:3 “I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in my anger and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments and I will stain all my raiment.”

63:4 “For the day of vengeance is in my heart and the year of my redeemed is come.”

We see here a spirit being the world likes to picture as a sickly looking hippie type with long hair and his hand raised in a papal blessing type gesture. Verse 6 goes on to say: “I will tread down the people in my anger and make them drunk in my fury…” So we can also see that this spirit being is furious and is going on a killing spree on the earth. Can this be the same “God” we picture as the epitome of love, mercy, tolerance and understand-ing?

Keying off the word winepress and maintaining our quest of “…line upon line … precept upon precept … here a little and there a little”, let’s turn to Revelation 14:20 and see if we can find out more about this battle and just how big it will be. (We know from Zechariah 14:2 that all nations will be gathered around Jerusalem at that time.) Rev 14:20 “And the winepress was trodden outside the city and blood came out of the winepress even unto the horses bridles by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.” (177 miles!)

We learned in the first 4 verses of Isaiah 63 that this God Warrior will be advancing toward Jerusalem from the direction of Bozrah, so if we find Bozrah on a Bible map and lay a straitedge across it from Jerusalem and project out 177 miles, it takes us right to Jabal Al Lawz or Mount Sinai.

We also learned that “…of the people, there was none with me…” therefore, this must be before the resurrection of the firstfruits. After the resurrection, the firstfruits will form the army at Christ’s back as we shall soon see.

How many people does it take to make a river of blood 177 miles long? Let’s turn to Revelation 9:16 (“…here a little … there a little.”).

“And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand…” That’s 200 million! And they will be marching on Jerusalem in a few short years.

We can learn what the top two items on Christ’s agenda are by turning to Revelation 11:18. “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 (#1) give reward unto your servants the prophets and saints… and (#2) destroy them which destroy the earth.”

So you see Christ has two priorities when He returns: Rewarding the prophets and saints and destroying those who destroy the earth. Now we said that the firstfruits will become His army after the resurrection and after the wedding supper where positions will be assigned in the Kingdom of God. (This is the reward of the prophets and saints.)

In Revelation 19, we find the marriage of the Lamb and in verse 8, we see that “…fine linen is the righteousness of saints.” Verse 11 says: “I saw heaven opened and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True and in righteousness He does judge and make war.”

We see in verse 14 that: “The armies which were in heaven (earth’s atmos-phere) followed Him upon white horses clothed in fine linen…”

Verse 15 “And out of His mouth goes a sharp sword that with it He should smite the nations…” Ever wonder about a sword coming out of his mouth?

He is commander of the army behind Him as we saw in the previous para-graph. He gives the commands with His mouth and the army carries out His orders. Verse 19 makes it plain that this is the army that takes on the armies of the beast who is in charge of planet earth at that time. Zechariah 14 will give you a pretty clear picture of their fate --- however --- the army of first-fruits at Christ’s back will evidently be doing the work of transforming the beast’s armies into vulture food.

I know there are those who will elevate their noses in their full complement of self righteousness and say, “The Bible says, ‘Thou shalt not kill’”. It does say that. However, if we do our homework, we find that the better rendering of this verse could be “Commit no murder.” Did Abraham kill anyone when he rescued his nephew lot? Was it murder? Did Samuel commit murder when he hewed Agag in pieces? I Samuel 15:33. Did David commit murder when he killed Goliath? Will the two witnesses of Revelation 11 commit murder when fire comes out of their mouths and kills those who would do them harm? We need to come to understand that just as the entire congregation took part in the putting to death the heathens in Jericho, the firstfruits are going to be required to destroy those who destroy the earth. In the new government established on planet earth, each community will be responsible for dispatching those who incur the death penalty. There will be no FBI, CIA, Federal Marshals, city police, highway patrol, etc. These are all contributing factors to how we got to be in the mess we are in today.

Now the question which heads up this article: ARE YOU FIRSTFRUITS MATERIAL? Are you fed up enough with this world’s hypocrisy, idolatry, murder, rape, pillage, pornography, abortions, prisons, schools, universities, entertainment, politics, religion, etc, to take part in the head chopping that is going to take place beginning right after the marriage supper? Please under-stand, this is not about a personal vendetta for wrongs you have suffered under this world’s governments but rather is an understanding that trans-cends vendettas --- an understanding that today’s governments with their methods and their people are simply not compatible with peace on earth and a workable government.

Perhaps you were planning on sitting on a cloud, plucking a harp and beholding the beatific vision. If so, go back to sleep --- for a thousand years.

Perhaps we will see you in the second resurrection --- See Revelation 20.
