PREFACE

Living in the END Times

Welcome to the END times. Careful study of the visions, prophesies, and numbers in the book of Daniel will show that Daniel accurately predicted more than 2600 years of human history. As I am writing this sentence, seven of the eight world kingdoms of the gentiles have already risen as predicted by Daniel. Although the revived Roman Empire or the eighth beastly world kingdom has also risen, it has not reached its final form or ten toes. The time of Jacob’s trouble is upon us.

Because of its amazing historical accuracy predicting the rise and fall of successive kings of north and south, some have attempted to assign a late date to Daniel. According to their logic, because prophesy and G_d can’t exist, Daniel had to be written after the events. One significant problem with late dating Daniel is that the identity of the four beasts of Daniel chapter 7 was sealed (until now).

Yet world kingdoms fitting the descriptions in Daniel 7 rose just as predicted, and in the correct chronological order. In addition, the four beasts of Daniel 7 are the same world kingdoms as the four horses of the Apocalypse of Revelation 6. Who besides G_d could have known all about these nations and rulers and called them into being? G_d brought about both ancient and modern fulfillment for the kings of chapter 8.

Prophecy is evidence of G_d's omnipotent hand. Prophetic visions in the book of Daniel describe our past, present, and future. Daniel opens up a panoramic view of history for our understanding and guidance. Why does G_d want us to be informed about the future? Simple, because He loves us! He wants us to choose life in Jesus Christ.

If anyone believes they will successfully argue salvation with G_d at the judgment think again. An atheist is a fool; he has his reward and fire.

There are many hundreds of proofs that the Bible is the inspired Word of G_d. OT prophesy stated Yeshua (Jesus) would be born in a manger in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2; Isaiah 1:3). The wise men were Chaldeans who studied celestial signs and Daniel’s scroll to learn when the king of the Jews (Messiah) would be born (Matthew 2:2).

OT prophesies written hundreds of years before His birth were actually fulfilled in the life of one man Jesus; including the exact date of His triumphal entry into Jerusalem riding on a donkey.

Do we need more proof of G_d? Yeshua (Jesus) did thousands of public miracles; a fraction are recorded in Scripture so we might believe Jesus is Messiah. Yeshua the Word created everything. The life, teaching, miracles, and resurrection of Jesus Christ authenticate that He is G_d's Son.

No one else ever returned from death in a resurrected body and communicated with so many witnesses over a period of weeks. Adding to the wonder, these events were clearly predicted hundreds of years earlier in the Psalms, the book of Isaiah, and by Moses and the prophets.

When will the L_rd judge man? Because of G_d’s infinite power and wisdom a day is like a thousand years to the L_rd. Six literal days were all the Word of G_d needed to create this wondrous heavens and earth.

The book of Job is perhaps the oldest book in the Bible. Job defies popularly held notions of history and reveals surprisingly modern scientific knowledge. The book of Job proves ancient humans pondered mysteries of creation and explored spiritual dimensions of life this generation of the television, cell phone, computer and video game does not even know exist. Satan deceives the entire world.

OT prophecy has been called into question by liberal critics exactly because it is so accurate. Scientific knowledge from the Holy Spirit in the book of Job predates space travel and great telescopes. The Author of Job also knew about the spiritual realms and about the ongoing spiritual warfare the book of Daniel describes.

The prophet Isaiah provides so many exact details about the future life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ that for years critics claimed the book of Isaiah had to have been written after the death of Jesus. They say similar things about the book of Daniel.

Critics stopped making these accusations when a nearly perfect copy of the book of Isaiah dating from about 250 BC was found among the scrolls in the Dead Sea! At a time when men of science still thought the world was flat the Bible testified by the prophet Isaiah that the earth is a circle.

The L_rd sits upon the circle of the earth. (Isaiah 40:22)

Adam was more advanced and perfect than any man today. His lifespan was many times our own. Adam classified all the animals on earth in a matter of hours and named each species. We have improved technology that makes war and destroys the earth. But our cities are unsafe places.

Alienated from wisdom and fallen from grace, man's technology is rapidly improving but has man himself evolved? The Holocaust demonstrated our savage side. So does the nightly news. In fact man is devolving into materialism, sensuality, violence, and sin. (Luke 23:31) as Jesus said.

Six thousand years ago, who besides the Holy Spirit could have revealed that the earth hangs in space on nothing (Job 26:7)?

He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing (Job 26:7).

How could any human author have guessed that stars in the Pleiades are held in a tight gravitational field or that stars in Orion’s belt are loosely held together because of low gravitational attraction (Job 38:31)?

Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? (Job 38:31)?

Since these have only recently been observed and understood by modern man, isn't it plausible that the omniscient Holy Spirit who inspired the writers of Scripture revealed it? That G_d wrote the book of Job?

Scripture informs archeology. G_d visited Israel in Egypt with signs and wonders, leading Israel out of bondage through Moses and Aaron. Archeology confirms the walls of Jericho collapsed outward (by the power of G_d?) instead of in (Joshua chapter 6). The everlasting G_d was born in Bethlehem and proved by many signs that He, Yeshua, is the Creator, Word, or Logos by which all things were made (Micah 5:2).

Genesis records that about six thousand years ago there was an ocean layer (waters above) enveloping the earth. G_d allowed it to collapse during the Great Flood. The Great Flood brought abrupt and massive geological pressures that killed innumerable sea creatures and compressed them into fossil fuels. Over 200 cultures across the world recorded the Great Flood. The Great Flood was not a local event.

G_d is more than the Creator of the infinite beauty and diversity we know as the heavens and the earth. G_d is our heavenly Father offering life in eternity. G_d helped Noah build an engineering marvel to keep the huge vessel stable even in intense flood currents. G_d also demonstrated His power and wisdom through Elijah, Elisha, Joshua, Jesus, Peter, and Paul.

G_d is not only our true Father and Creator. If we abide in the true Vine, Jesus Christ overcomes the world. There is no human school we can attend that will give us wisdom (James 1:5). Become wise, joyful, and find peace that lasts in Christ (John 14:27; John 15:11). G_d reveals His infinite existence, holiness, love, and power through His book the Bible.

Our Creator wrote only one book. Shouldn’t we take the time to get to know Him by reading it? Meditate in His Word at the beginning of each day. Step out onto the promises of G_d in Scripture and claim them. Stand upon the infinite invisible power of the Word and ask in His name.

G_d didn’t require sun or moon to keep plants and trees alive until the fourth day of creation. The heat of the core was enough. Another ocean of water existed above us that encircled the earth. The new heavens and new earth will not require the light of the sun or moon, because G_d will be their light (Revelation 21:23). A single photo of the sky can reveal 100 billion stars thousands of light-years distant; maybe not. Perhaps redshift used to measure distance is also due to variations in gravity.

How old is the universe? Consider the speed of light. After 70 million years the night sky should be illuminated like a room lit by a lamp instead of being midnight blue or black. Light from distant stars has not illuminated the night sky; we are dealing with a fairly young creation.

A star in the Swan constellation first observed in the 1600s has aged faster than expected and so have dozens of others. Stars once believed to be millions of years old may only be hundreds or thousands of years old. Will our sun explode before the age of 10,000 years or 10 days?

The elegant design, complexity and sheer beauty of the universe demands intelligence. Did creation really happen over billions of years as a result of the random interaction of amino acids and chemicals? If we toss nails, plywood, insulation, wire, pipes, sheet rock, lumber, windows, and roofing into the air long enough, will they eventually form themselves by chance into a finished house?

Consider the intricate engineering in the design of a single tree, bird, or flower. The odds against this process being repeated by mere chance for every existing form of life on earth approaches infinity.

Did a haphazard and random process repeat itself to produce hundreds of millions of sophisticated and diverse life forms in the ecosystem of earth? Is this rational? If the process is random, why did it occur millions of times? Or did G_d create the first male and female of each species in almost infinite variety and complexity with the capacity to reproduce (with its seed in it) as Genesis testifies (Genesis 1:29)?

Life on earth is more of a miracle than the sum of all its individual forms. Life is also an inter-related and inter-dependent web. Each of these creations is also part of a larger, more complex ecosystem of interwoven relationships, single threads in a larger tapestry of life. What great Intelligence could have engineered this tapestry of life? It takes more leaps of faith to believe this came about without G_d.

Dinosaurs walked with men until the post flood cold killed most of them. The book of Job describes a leviathan that had migrated to the Jordan River. Men hunted mammoths. Men and dinosaurs walked together.

Why are fossil fuels depleting? Why aren’t sea creatures accumulating to create more fossil fuels? What happens to fish that die today? They get picked clean by scavengers. How could billions die at once and pile up in a geological moment of time in pockets all over the world? Does the fossil layer give evidence of abrupt death?

Genesis records six days in which G_d created the heavens and the earth. G_d rested from all His work on the seventh day. The Word of G_d made all things that were made. So the life of Jesus Christ reveals the one who created the heavens and earth. Some dismiss the miracles (and deity) of Jesus Christ. But the Word of G_d in Isaiah clearly predicts a man born to a virgin (Isaiah 7:14) will also be G_d in the flesh, calling Him Wonderful, Counselor, Everlasting Father, Mighty G_d, Prince of Peace.

We don't have to put our intellect on hold to believe in the infallible Word of G_d. There is little doubt the life of Jesus is described in the book of Isaiah. Descriptions of the future life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ in the OT are so vivid and clear that critics claimed certain portions of the book of Isaiah had to have been written after the events and later reinserted into the book. But a nearly identical ancient copy of the book of Isaiah found in the Dead Sea Scrolls in the desert at Qumran dating from at least 250 BC confirmed that Isaiah is a book of prophecy.

The OT gives us many sketches of Messiah. Jesus Christ gives us His infallible credentials through the miracles the Father gave Him to accomplish. Read the words that are like no other. By walking on water, healing the blind, casting out demons, and raising the dead Jesus proved He is the L_rd of creation. Creation is the work of the infinite intelligence and creative power of G_d. The heavens and earth are the work of the omniscient and omnipotent Word. Who feeds the sparrows (Luke 12:6-7)?

Satellite imaging recently identified a dry river bed fitting the description of one of the lost rivers of the Garden of Eden in Genesis. It was not visible to the eye. How did the Author of Genesis get it right? Genesis testifies only about six thousand years have passed from Adam to the present. We are witnessing rapid changes in some stars. They were spoken into being by G_d and will live thousands, not millions of years.

The Great Flood left a water mark high up on a pyramid that was noticed by an archeologist in the eighteen hundreds. Noah’s ark saved the human race and all the air breathing animals. The Shroud of Turin is an intense photographic negative of Jesus Christ that evidences the mocking, scourging, crucifixion and resurrection of the Lamb of G_d for the sins of mankind and confirms the resurrection; the flash of the resurrection left an image on it! Some who handled the cloth early were healed (Matthew 14:36). Pollen samples on the Shroud lead to Jerusalem.

Honest scientific inquiry is nothing to fear. Chromosomes support the woman coming forth from the man as described in Genesis. The theory of E. is just a human theory. Evolution is really a replacement religion. Randomness and infinite time are articles of faith for its flawed mythology. E. requires many atheistic leaps in denial of G_d. There is a huge problem that cannot be ignored. Where are the thousands transitional or intermediate forms marking the evolution from one species to the next?

G_d goes beyond scientific theories by repeatedly demonstrating His authority over life and history. G_d fulfills prophecy. G_d sets boundaries for history in Daniel before it happens. G_d displayed His creative power, using Moses and Aaron to bring Israel out of slavery in Egypt into the Promised Land. G_d fed the Israelites manna and quail. Yeshua raised Lazarus from the grave, proving G_d's creative power.

When the Father resurrected Jesus Christ to eternal life in a spiritual body G_d displayed His omnipotence, even over eternity. Through the miracles Jesus did, G_d proved His ability to create the heavens, the earth, the moon, the stars, and all the life in them after its kind.

Don't hide from G_d behind the fig leaf of science. Human knowledge cannot redeem us or prepare us for eternity. Scripture reveals a spiritual root behind mental health problems. Are addictions a form of spiritual bondage?

Did evil try to exterminate a race by loading innocent men, women, and children into trains; burn them in ovens; or poison them with gas? If we don’t believe in demons after Nazi Germany, the tribulation and Antichrist will convince us of the existence of Satan.

Eating from the forbidden tree, all men have a great emptiness inside the exact size and shape of G_d. Today we feed the body and educate the mind while the spirit is starved of G_d’s Word and deprived of the Holy Spirit. Life is painful for many. They find ways to self medicate (Revelation 9:6).

We have a terrifying emptiness which is really a spiritual memory of how far we have fallen (Revelation 2:4-5) from the light realms into life in dust. When we try to satisfy the emptiness caused by separation from the light of the Father with possessions, food, sex, drugs, alcohol, idols, and lusts, guilt and fear only worsen our isolation. Fears and desires enslave us to sin. Fellowship with the L_rd takes away all our fears.

All that is needed is fellowship with the Father through Jesus Christ and to eat the Word of G_d. Jesus sent out simple fishermen with the gospel; they had been transformed by their faith in Christ into bright lights in the world and miracle workers. The Spirit of Christ lived within them.

Will the events the Bible predicts happen? Are we really living in the END times? Many of the events predicted by the Bible have already happened. And the prophesies related to the END are nearing fulfillment. Mankind is lost in the Adam dream of the fives senses; we sleep in the dust or clay of the body. Material living is not a high expression of life. We have forsaken G_d, belittled His Word, and denied His Son Jesus.

Today Christ is calling us out of sleep (death) into real, eternal life, so wake up! Choose life. Before the flood (END) of Noah’s day people were eating and drinking and getting married with little interest in G_d. Then the flood came and washed them all away (Luke 17:26-27).

The END times are a period of human suffering and fear unlike any other time in human history past or future. Daniel was given a vision of a great war (Daniel 10:1-14) in the latter days. There will be distress among nations; signs in the sky, blood and war (Matthew chapter 24). Stars will die and the heavens disappear. Fallen angels will drop out of the sky like stars. The lake of fire at Yellowstone will erupt.

G_d ultimately controls history. The book of Daniel was sealed by G_d. Our finite human perception and awareness is so small and the scale of events in Daniel is so massive that it can require several readings of Daniel to fully grasp its meaning. The Holy Spirit alone unseals it for us. Ask G_d to reveal it. There is no other book like the Bible. Scripture is unique. The Bible has writing within and on back side (Revelation 5:1).

Jesus Christ is G_d. Ask Jesus to forgive our sins; believing that G_d raised Him from the dead. He will send His Spirit (with joy) to fill the emptiness within. Jesus makes Himself known or real from the very moment we invite Him into our hearts and lives. As our Creator G_d, Jesus already knows us (Luke 19:5; John 1:48). He gives us His Holy Spirit as a down payment on eternal life. In Him (the Word, Jesus) was life, and that life was the light of men (John 1:4).

In spite of the disruptive and destructive influences of Satan and his demons, G_d makes history unfold according to His plan. The numbers coded into Daniel reveal that the END times began in 1947 after the Holocaust, when Satan exhausted his fury and could no longer scatter my people Israel (Daniel 12:7). The END is closer than many thought.

Where would we spend eternity? To escape judgment coming upon the unbelieving world trust G_d’s Word (John 5:24), place our faith in the work of Jesus Chris on the cross. Like a dream our human lives are fleeting (Isaiah 40:7-8). Unlike a dream, we can die in our sins and never return home to the Father’s house (John 8:24). Jesus is the only safe door out of the deadly dream of the senses (John 10:9).

Do we anticipate His return with joy? Salvation is through a single man Jesus. Dying without Christ means an eternity separated from good and from G_d. The living Ark will return for His Bride soon. Trust in Christ.

Will Christ Jesus really accept us? Jesus came to do the Father’s will. Jesus will not drive anyone away who comes to Him (John 6:37-40). Is it His life we are living Mark 8:34)? Our L_rd associated with prostitutes and tax collectors. He will also welcome us if we are thirsty or hungry.

Modern Babylon, like ancient Babylon, is a culture that glamorizes sin without revealing the down side. Beware the thieving senses. If the fish was looking for a lure it wouldn’t get hooked so easily, but like most fish, we are often taken over by pressing appetites of the moment. Pray in the Spirit to overcome. The pleasures of the flesh distract us while sapping our energy, creativity, and joy in the long haul. Sin destroys lives.

Babylon and Rome represent world government. Whether or not we realize it, we are witnessing the END time rise of the revived Roman Empire or New Babylon in the USA and EU. New Babylonia is a godless and materialistic society where sin is acceptable. Satan baits men with sin as a fisherman baits a hook. Satan is a roaring (rampant) lion seeking to consume us (Job 1:7; 1Peter 5:8).

All of us
