Is Benjamin Netanyahu God’s Countdown Clock For The End Of The World? -By Joe Dauda

Like I asserted in Part 1 of this article, God made me to understand that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a sort of countdown clock for the end of the world. As the most prominent member of the generation that would not pass away (Matthew 24:34) his life has become a kind of trumpet announcing how close we are to the end of all things.

However, although I was gratified to realize that what God revealed to me in October 2016 was quite harmonious with a prophecy about Benjamin Netanyahu that was already several decades old by the time I got to hear about it, I’m bothered about the source of that prophecy, which was given by two of the most revered Orthodox Jewish Rabbis in Israel. Hopefully, before the end of this piece, you will understand my worry.

To get the right context, it is necessary to quote relevant portions of the Israel Today News article that reported the prophecy of the Rabbis. Note that this article was published over two years ago — specifically on the 15th of October 2020. I mentioned and quoted from this article for the first time in my 26th July 2022 article titled: My People What Is The Meaning Of This? That was shortly after watching the video that made me aware of the article. Before watching that video, I did not know there was such a prophecy about Benjamin Netanyahu. Note that Benjamin Netanyahu became Prime Minister of Israel for the second time in 2009. That was after his first tenure between 1996 and 1999. By October 2020 when that article was published, Netanyahu had already been in power for over 11 years, apart from the 3+ years he spent during his first tenure. Please bear this in mind. Below are some portions of the referenced article:

“A recent interview on Israeli radio featured prominent rabbis explaining that the Messiah is just about to reveal himself.”

“Another righteous rabbi said that according to the current situation in heaven, there will not be Israeli elections – rather, there will be a war,” cautioned Zisholtz. “If the elections do take place, it’s pointless since it will end like the other elections; no government will come out of it. No one will take the government away from Netanyahu.”“Decades ago, Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri, one of modern Israel’s most revered sages, as well as the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, both predicted that Benjamin Netanyahu would be the State of Israel’s last prime minister prior to the Messianic Age. A great many, if not most of the ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel continue to believe that to be true.”

Below is the link to the Israel Today News article, which you can read for yourself to learn more:
https://www.israeltoday.co.il/read/israeli-rabbi-says-hes-already-holding-meetings-with-messiah/

As stated above, the prophecy is that Benjamin Netanyahu is going to be the last Prime Minister of Israel before the onset of the Messianic Age. Although it may appear innocent, there is serious danger in this statement and I’m willing to believe that, if I heard about Benjamin Netanyahu from God, one cannot assume that a similar knowledge given to those Jewish Rabbis about Benjamin Netanyahu was from God.

What is the reason for this impudent statement?

First of all, the only way to salvation for any Jew (like any other human being) is to accept Jesus Christ as savior and Lord and Messiah and whatever name or title you choose to use. So there is no room for salvation other than through Jesus Christ (Yehoshua) Who is the Messiah. Any other Messiah must of necessity be false.

According to the Bible and specifically according to the standard knowledge of end time prophecy, just before Jesus Christ returns, Satan (or Satan’s vicegerent) will impersonate Him.

2 Thessalonians 2:8-9
“And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming.
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.”

If you love to see what people refer to as “genuine miracles” wait until the Antichrist shows up. You will see miracles like you have never imagined possible. But do not forget that these miracles (sponsored by the power and signs and lying wonders of Satan) are only for the consumption of those “that (will) perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” 2 Thessalonians 2:10.

And then there is Revelation 13:14 also for lovers of “genuine miracles.”

“And he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by means of those miracles which he had power to do . . .”

Revelation 17:13-14
“And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
For they are the spirit of devils, working miracles . . .”

Although having several predecessors, the ultimate coming of this Wicked “son of perdition” (see 2 Thessalonians 2:3) is the only reason for the warning below, given by the Master Himself:

Matthew 24:26
“Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.”

So who is this fellow that will be appearing in the desert and in the secret chambers claiming to be Christ?

If it was just a charlatan trying to amuse people, the Master would not need to have issued such a strong warning built on the concept of “prevention is better than cure.”
The Master is saying that we should not even bother to go and see this fellow. It seems apparent that beholding this imposter has the potential of deceiving even the elect into thinking that this person may be Jesus Christ. It is to prevent this dangerous encounter that we were warned not to even go look at this fake Jesus Christ.

Did I just say fake Jesus Christ?

That would be the Antichrist.

In Revelation 1:12-17, Elder John (who wrote the Book of Revelation) saw the real Jesus Christ. I’m not talking of Jesus Christ looking frail while walking the dusty streets of Nazareth; I’m talking about the resurrected Jesus Christ in His glory and in His full regalia. The girdle of his garment was made of gold; His hair was white like wool — as white as snow; His eyes were as a flame of fire; and His feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; His voice was as the sound of a mighty waterfall; and His countenance was like the brightest noonday sun.

This is the picture of Jesus Christ every faithful follower has in his or her mind. But even if they forget the details, they know that a white light is associated with the aura of Jesus Christ — a white light plus a snow-white garment reaching down to His feet and eyes blazing like flames. During the transfiguration of Christ, the picture was no different.

Matthew 17:2
“And He was transfigured before them: and His face did shine as the sun, and His raiment was white as the light.”

In spite of these experiences of the glory of the real Jesus Christ, read below what happened to Elder John:

Revelation 22:8
“And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.”

Elder John!!!

You want to do what???

Worship before the feet of an angel???

What is the matter with you sir???

So you do not know the difference between your Lord Jesus Christ and an angel???

Before you blame Elder John, please consider this:

2 Corinthians 11:4
“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.”

Note the word “light”, which also envelopes the countenance of the real Jesus Christ. Recall also that Satan is an angel — a fallen angel.

Not knowing the fact that an angel can be transformed is dangerous to your eternal life. Besides, based on his rank as a covering cherubim (Ezekiel 28:14) Satan may look even more impressive in his full glory than the angel Elder John was eager to worship. But, hopefully, by reading the above passages, you now realize or have been reminded that an angel can appear so glorious you may be overwhelmed by their presence; absolutely mesmerized to the extent of falling down to worship before having time to soberly consider the source of their dazzling brightness.

Based on the shocking experience of Elder John — a General in God’s Army — we can see that, except for the protection of God, if Satan appeared in his full glory, no human being will be able to resist the urge to fall down and worship him. This would be the case especially if he appeared claiming to be Jesus Christ of Nazareth and if his face resembled the face of the Jesus Hollywood has been programming our minds to adore over the years through countless movies we casually refer to as “Jesus film.”

While Satan craves worship from human beings and was not even afraid to tempt Jesus Christ to worship him (Matthew 4:9) genuine and loyal angels of God will categorically dissuade you from worshipping them.

Revelation 22:9
“Then saith he unto me, See (that) thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant , and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.”

From many stories in the Bible, we also know that angels can appear as human beings and you will not see anything different to warn you that you were interacting with an angel — whether holy or fallen.

Having made the above clarification, let’s now return to the claims of Rabbi Kaduri and Rabbi Menachem Schneerson. According to them, Netanyahu will be the last Prime Minister of Israel before the onset of the Messianic Age. If you juxtapose their prophecy with the understanding I got about Benjamin Netanyahu, you will easily see that the Messiah that will show up to end Netanyahu’s reign and initiate the Messianic Age is actually the Antichrist. Note the first part of the Israel Today news article:

“A recent interview on Israeli radio featured prominent rabbis explaining that the Messiah is just about to reveal himself.”

Which Messiah would that be?

Please read these other portions of the same Israel Today news article, which were not quoted earlier:

“Rabbi Yaakov Zisholtz told religious broadcaster Radio 2000 that Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky (who passed away earlier this year) had told him that he (Kanievsky) was already in direct contact with the Messiah.”

“To understand why religious Jews are taking this seriously, it’s important to know that Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky was considered one of the two or three top rabbis of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Israel.
And Rabbi Zisholtz says that Kanievsky and others of the mystical “concealed” rabbis had tasked him with informing the public of the Messiah’s imminent arrival.”

Jesus Christ is not coming back to hold any secret meetings with any Jewish Rabbis — no matter how ultra orthodox they are and no matter how revered they are. If anything, these secret meetings reveal only one thing:

Matthew 24:25, 26.
“Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore, if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.”

Nevertheless, the fact that these mystical “concealed” Rabbis are preparing Israel for the appearance of a Messiah should tell you that these people are connected to the supernatural and whatever supernatural being they are talking with is actually about to show up. The fact that the Antichrist will only show up at the tail end of human existence should equally tell you that we are in the last years of the last generation.

The deception of the Antichrist will almost deceive the very elect (the words of Jesus Christ suggest that) but the days will be cut short. How? By the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Matthew 24:22
“And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.”

This means the appearance of the Antichrist is going to be at a time so close to the second coming. If the Jews are right now being prepared for his appearing, do not think we still have decades left.

So this messiah the ultra orthodox Jewish Rabbis are openly saying is already around is not and cannot be our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This highly anticipated Jewish messiah is going to be an imposter who will not only deceive the Jews but also Moslems, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, and the whole world, including those who say they are atheists. As stated in Revelation 13:8, “all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him.” Only those whose names are written in the Book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world will not worship.

According to Matthew 7:21-23, calling Jesus Christ Lord (which means you are a Christian) will not qualify you to be part of these people. You can call Jesus Christ Lord all you want and still be successfully deceived to worship the Antichrist.

Working miracles in the name of Jesus Christ also does not qualify one to be part of these people whose names are written in the Book of life of the Lamb.

Casting out devils in the name of Jesus Christ will also not guarantee that one will be part of these people, who, rather than receive the mark of the beast, shall receive the seal of the living God.

The only thing that will qualify anyone to be part of this group is doing the will of God.

Matthew 7:21a
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven”

Who then shall enter into the kingdom my Lord?

Matthew 7:21b
“He that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”

Doing the will of God is the only thing that will guarantee one’s entrance into the kingdom of God. It is exactly like an entry visa: it will confer the right of entrance on the holder.

Revelation 22:14
“Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”

Jesus Christ said even if you do XYZ you will not enter except you do ABC.

On the other hand, Revelation 22:14 does not bother with whatever else you do but guarantees your entrance if you “do His commandments.” Is anybody following this?

ABC is then the doing of the commandments of God since it is the only thing that guarantees entry. It is the “will of God” Jesus Christ referred to in Matthew 7:21 while vowing that those who do not do this “will of God” will not enter into the kingdom of God, even if they call Him Lord (meaning they are Christians) or preach in the name of Jesus Christ, or cast out devils in the name of Jesus Christ, or do many wonderful works in that same holy name of Jesus Christ.

Furthermore, Apostle James (in James 2:10-12) says the Ten Commandments stand together or fall together. Ignore any one of them and you are in active rebellion against the will of the King of the whole universe Who wrote them down with His holy and perfect fingers.

I do not have a Bible verse to lean on here but I feel it is safe to speculate that, after the looming Ezekiel 38 war, the Antichrist will conveniently reveal himself and try to steal the glory that belongs to Jehovah. He will step in to claim the glory and deceive the Israelis by claiming to have been the one that saved them. The Bible says this war will see the deployment of divinely instigated natural disasters that will destroy the armies invading Israel — see Ezekiel 38:16, 21-23 — and it will be clear to everyone that Israel’s victory was the result of a supernatural intervention. But because God is invisible, the Antichrist, I believe, will use that opportunity to make an appearance. Already, at least one Rabbi is claiming to have started meeting with the messiah. As a matter of fact, that was the title of the Israel Today news article quoted above: it was all about a certain Rabbi revealing that he had been having secret meetings with the Jewish messiah. That Rabbi is, of course, Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky. And although Kanievsky died in 2020, note the following:

“And Rabbi Zisholtz says that Kanievsky and others of the mystical “concealed” rabbis had tasked him with informing the public of the Messiah’s imminent arrival.”

What this means is that Jews (especially the most serious ones known as ultra Orthodox Jews) are already being told in whispers that their long awaited messiah is about to show up. Imagine their anticipation; imagine what they are currently thinking, especially now that the prophecy of two of their most revered Rabbis about Benjamin Netanyahu — given many years ago — is proving to be valid. Netanyahu is back in power — against all odds!

Since the Jews do not believe that Jesus Christ of Nazareth (Whom Pontius Pilate crucified) is the Messiah and the only begotten Son of the living God, when the Antichrist shows up following their supernatural deliverance from the invading armies of Russia, Iran, Libya, Turkey, and Sudan, they will accept him as the Messiah, especially if he claims credit for their deliverance. And they will worship him and obey anything he says — even if he says Sunday is his preferred day of worship. Perhaps this is how the Jews will fall for the deception of Satan and receive the mark of the beast.

We must bear in mind that Satan understands Bible prophecy. In fact, apart from His earthly parents, and Simeon (Luke 2:25,26) and prophetess Anna (Luke 2:36-38) and John the Baptist, the first persons to identify Jesus Christ as the Son of God were demon-possessed. Of course it was the demons (fallen angels) in those people that were able to recognize Jesus Christ. You can look this up in Mark 1:23-25 and Matthew 8:29. So you had a set of people who could correctly identify Jesus Christ as the Son of God. But one category of these people (Mary, Joseph, Simeon, prophetess Anna, and John the Baptist) got their revelation from the Spirit of God; the demon-possessed people who could also correctly identify Jesus Christ as the Son of God got their own revelation, not from the Spirit of God, but from the fallen angels possessing them. Of course these fallen angels knew Jesus Christ very well. So although I and the ultra orthodox Jewish Rabbis seem to have similar information about the destiny of Benjamin Netanyahu, I hereby aver, based on the evidence at my disposal, that we were not led to this knowledge about Netanyahu by the same Spirit. Their knowledge is to prepare Israeli Jews to accept the Antichrist; mine is to warn the people of God that Netanyahu is the best representation of the generation Jesus Christ had in mind in Matthew 24:34, where He graciously told us that His second coming will take place just before the expiration of that generation. In fact, it is His second coming that brings that generation to an end. This invariably means that the world is about to come to an end because Psalm 90:10 puts an 80-year limit on this final generation. And Covid marked the countdown to this season during the 70th year of this generation in 2019. Please don’t miss this point: the age of the last generation is the biological age of Benjamin Netanyahu, who is the best representation of that generation.

Due to the fact that they do not realize that Satan can know some wonderful things, some people allow themselves to be seduced simply because a so-called man of God performs a miracle or tells them something about their lives that couldn’t have been known without supernatural aid. These people must know that the devil is capable of doing supernatural things. Remember the fire he made to come down upon Job’s servants and the many other things he did — with God’s permission? No angel — fallen or holy — is your mate but you must beware of being impressed and then obeying fallen angels simply because they manifest superior powers or superior knowledge.

Consider this salient point also that proves Satan’s knowledge of Bible prophecy. In Revelation 12:12, the Bible says:

“Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth he hath but a short time.”

Having great wrath?

Why is the wrath (anger) of Satan great against the people of this world?

Because he has a lot of damage in mind to inflict but also knows that his time is short.

This knowledge (that his time is almost up or that Jesus Christ is about to descend and spoil his party) is from Bible prophecy. And yet some people think we are forbidden from knowing how close we are to the end of the world. If Satan can read prophecy and know that his time is at hand, why shouldn’t we read prophecy and understand also?

With regards to deceiving the whole world through targeted appearances (Matthew 24:26), the Roman Catholics are already being prepped for this false messiah through periodic apparitions of saints, who are said to appear in remote places once in a while. The most important of these apparitions are the ones involving Mary, and, according to Wikipedia, there have been at least 40 of such appearances in countries like Mexico, France, Ireland, Portugal, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Argentina, Sweden, Japan, Germany, Poland, Italy, Dominican Republic, Spain, Lithuania, and even in Louisiana in the United States of America. So when the Antichrist shows up, it will be business as usual for Roman Catholics because they have been fully oriented to expect the periodic appearance of supernatural beings. Usually, these apparitions are accompanied by miracles.

As for the non-Catholic Christian world, lack of understanding of Daniel 8:14 has left them in total limbo about the real identity of the beast. They will be susceptible to the deception of the Antichrist also because they do not believe that the dead are dead. Fallen angels can start appearing and claiming to be Paul the Apostle — or any of the servants of Christ — and majority of Christians will believe anything they say. Remember that angels — including fallen angels— can take any form they like, whether that of your late grandfather, the first missionary to your country, or a personality in the Bible. It really doesn’t matter.

This was how king Saul was deceived by a demon posing as Samuel the prophet. But Christians (majority of them, sadly) believe that the Bible is saying that a witch had the power to invade heaven, kidnap a dead saint now living in the presence of God, and force that saint down into a pit, before calling him up through some incantations. That was what the witch of Endor did — according to the understanding of majority of Christians, who believe that saints go to heaven immediately after they die and sinners go to hell fire immediately after they die. Samuel the prophet had died and king Saul went to consult this witch to bring him up. Christians believe that this witch brought up prophet Samuel so Saul could talk with him. They do not realize that it was a demon that came up masquerading as Samuel the prophet. Of course the cure for this absurd belief is, firstly, knowing that the dead (even dead saints) are dead and will remain in that deep sleep of death until resurrected by Jesus Christ. The second cure is for Christians to bear in mind that demons can take the form of any dead person they choose and mimic them perfectly. Perhaps the third cure will be for Christians to realize that the parable of the rich man and Lazarus is simply that — a parable. But many keep holding on and insisting that the parable represents reality. In that case, they must have to believe that people in hell interact freely with people in paradise — they see one another and can carry on an intelligent conversation across the divide, like Abraham and the rich man were said to have done in the parable. Apparently, a person in paradise can also dip his finger in a bowl of water and let it drop on the tongue of another person in hell fire. Hopefully, these few inconsistencies I just pointed out will help someone reconsider what they have believed for so long. And for those thinking that, “But the Bible says it was prophet Samuel that spoke to Saul” read the passage below and see if you can learn anything.

Job 1:16
“While he was yet speaking, there came also another and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.”

So the Bible says it was “the fire of God from heaven”. But we know it was Satan who did that. The witch of Endor knew what she was doing. But Saul, who had disobeyed God’s commandment about consulting the dead (that is, practicing necromancy) did not know that he was being deluded by a fallen angel posing as Samuel the prophet. This is the sort of thing that separates the Bible from other books. The principle of understanding the Bible is as stated in Isaiah 28:10: “here a little, and there a little.” Why? Isaiah 28:10: “For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line.”

How does Jesus Christ view dead people — those “in the graves”?

John 5:28,29
“Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice . . .
Those that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”

To resurrect a person is to bring them back to life. If, as majority of Christians believe, people die and go to either heaven or hell, what is the purpose of the resurrection? In John 5:28, Jesus Christ said “all that are in the graves shall hear His voice. . .” They are not going to hear His voice from paradise but from their graves. The first resurrection will be for the righteous alone; and the second resurrection — after 1000 years — will be the resurrection of damnation. Woe to whoever fails to make the first resurrection!

Indeed, there are certain human beings in heaven. We know that Enoch was translated that he should not see death; same thing happened to prophet Elijah; as for Moses, he was raised to life. I believe that all of these people (plus the ones resurrected during the resurrection of Jesus Christ; Matthew 27:52,53) are part of the 24 Elders that seat around the throne of God. The Bible clearly said they were redeemed from the earth; Revelation 5:8-9. The resurrection of Moses was to serve as a token for those who will be resurrected during the second coming of Jesus Christ. The translation of prophet Elijah (who went to heaven in a bodily form without tasting death) is a token for the saints who will be alive when Jesus Christ returns. These ones, like Elijah, will be changed; translated. They will go to heaven without ever tasting of death. No wonder, when Jesus Christ wanted to show a picture of His second coming, He became transfigured into an example of the glory of His second coming and spoke with Moses and Elijah. These two represent all the saints that will die before the second coming and all the saints that will be resurrected during the second coming.

The fact is that attempting to explain the many doctrines concerning which majority of Christians have been deceived (and thus prepared to receive the mark of the beast) will turn this already lengthy article into a book. So those interested in further information should just make the request. It is not for nothing that the Dark Ages is referred to as such. A whole lot of things happened to the Christian religion, converting it into a pagan religion with Christian flavoring.

Would you be surprised to know that it is not only Christians and Jews that are expecting the coming of a Christ or the Christ? The Hindus are expecting someone they call Krishna; the Buddhists are expecting Maitreya Buddha and you need to know that the actual name of the sun god is Mithra.

Many years ago, CNN reportedly aired a commercial. If the words of this commercial do not wake you up, I don’t know what else would ever wake you up to realize that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world and that all His prophecies (including those about false Christs, all leading to the main Antichrist) will come to pass and are already coming to pass.

The CNN commercial told the English-speaking world:

“Imagine a world free of war, poverty, and injustice;
Where sharing and cooperation replace greed and competition;
Where peace born of justice prevails;
In the midst of today’s chaos;
Is this new world possible?
Now in our midst;
We have help of an extraordinary kind;
Expected by every major faith;
He awaits but our invitation;
Maitreya The World Teacher is now among us.”

Does the above seem like a joke?

How about this one below?

Since 1981, there have been three massive stone hedges that were placed on a hill somewhere in Georgia, USA. They are generally known as the Georgia Guidestones. On them were written the Ten Commandments for a New Age. Most of these commandments are vague; but the first one is clear. And what is the first commandment of the New World Order?

Maintain humanity under 500 million!!!

Just this week, the population of the world officially got to the 8 billion mark.

How would you maintain humanity under 500 million in a world with 8 billion human beings? What do you plan to do to obey the first commandment of the New Age of Reason?

Is that why we have mysterious diseases like Ebola?

Is that why there has been no vaccine for malaria, which is the greatest killer in Africa?

Is that why we have manufactured wars and conflicts all over the world?

Is that why the legalization of abortion is such a do or die affair in the Western world?

Strangely, about three months ago, these Georgia Guidestones that have intrigued the world for decades were mysteriously destroyed.

Who destroyed them?

More importantly, were they destroyed because the time for the fulfillment of the vision has finally arrived?

Concerning how the Antichrist will deceive the whole world, the interesting thing is that there is an Islamic prophecy in Shia Islam about a coming Imam Mahdi, also known as the 12th Imam. He is supposed to go to Jerusalem with Jesus Christ at some point after his reappearance. I won’t make any comment about this but urge you to read between the lines.

An Imam going to Jerusalem with Jesus Christ?

Which Jesus Christ will that be?

And I hope you have not forgotten that a document for Christian/Muslim unity was signed in 2019 by Pope Francis and a representative of Islam in Dubai? After that, Sunday has become a work-free day in Dubai while Friday is now a working day. You think the whole world cannot unite? Think again.

Even as I type this, readers in Nigeria have an opportunity to sense how the mark of the beast will be enforced. The Central Bank of Nigeria has announced a plan to redesign some naira notes. To enable more customers deposit their old naira notes, Nigerian banks have been instructed to open their doors on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays — and Saturdays.

Why not Sundays also?

I thought the matter was urgent?

Are there no Muslims (even Christians) in Nigeria who will be happy to go do their naira deposits on Sundays?

What’s so special about Sunday?

So Saturday (which God commanded mankind to keep holy) is a common day and Sunday is not?

By the way, why do we have two weekend days?

We know the author of Saturday (Sabbath) rest.

But who is the author of Sunday rest?

Mark 2:28
“Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath.”

That was Jesus Christ speaking in the above passage.

But who is the author of Sunday rest, which the Central Bank of Nigeria is now showing reverence for, perhaps inadvertently?

If you remain alive a little longer, you will remember this article when the mark of the beast begins to be enforced. You will remember someone said it has everything to do with Sunday reverence.

In an earlier post I published several months ago (I honestly cannot recall the title) I made it clear that Bible students believe that the descendants of Sheba and Dedan are the Arabs. Sheba and Dedan are the great grandchildren of Ham, the third son of Noah; Genesis 10:6-7. Through the joint effort of President Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu over the years, there is no longer active enmity between Israel and much of the Arab world. No wonder Sheba and Dedan will criticize the invasion of Israel; see Ezekiel 38:13. Bible students had wondered for decades how traditional enemies of Israel (the Arabs) will criticize the invasion of Israel. But now it is clear how this will work out. Israel already has good relations with the UAE (Dubai), Morocco, Bahrain, Jordan, Egypt, and Sudan. Strenuous moves are being made right now to concoct a peace deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia. I guess Sudan will secretly join the Russian-led invasion or break off diplomatic relations with Israel just before that attack.

In essence, the only real enemy Israel has right now is the government of Iran (not the people of Iran) and the several proxies of the government of Iran, such as the Islamic Jihad in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and several Shia militias scattered around the Middle East. Iran also has allies like Russia, which is at loggerheads with Israel, in spite of the the personal relationship between President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. When Iran and Russia and the others fall on the mountains of Israel (Ezekiel 39:4) the fear of Israel will become the beginning of wisdom for the flabbergasted nations of the world. Israel will no longer have a powerful enemy. With Iran humbled and an Arab world sympathetic to Israel, it will be a new dawn. Under these circumstances, it will be the easiest thing for the Antichrist to sue for peace between Israel and the rest of the Islamic world. This peace will make the people of the world so happy it will look like the world is about to enter a golden age of peace. With other calculated moves to solve the many problems of the world, everybody will accept the Antichrist and everybody will be pleased to worship him. Everybody except those “pesky” children of God. And the Antichrist will proceed to attempt to destroy them.

Revelation 12:17
“And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”

Revelation 19:10
“For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

The real children of God in these last days are steeped in prophecy and the commandments of God. Mark those two distinct characteristics. Before they speak ten words of theology, they are already talking prophecy or the commandments of God. As shown above, Revelation 12:17 and 19:10 foresaw this reality.

In general, the onset of the Messianic Age is equivalent to the revelation of the Antichrist. No matter what the children of God go through in this world, we know that the feet of Jesus Christ will not touch the earth during His second coming. Rather, while descending, He will shout and His voice will raise the dead saints back to life, change the living saints into immortal beings, and all of these fortunate and forever blessed individuals will be gathered together by the angels, who will then escort them upwards to meet with Jesus Christ in the air.

In the air!!!

1 Thessalonians 4:17
“Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air . . .”

In the air!!!

All these ransomed souls will then go to heaven for the 1000-year reign prophesied in Revelation 20:10. During this 1000 years, the saints shall judge the cases of those who rejected the grace of God and also judge the fallen angels — including Satan; 1 Corinthians 6:2-3. It is at the end of the 1000 years that the saints will descend inside the mighty space ship called the Holy Jerusalem. The beauty, grandeur, and magnificence of this city built by God can be perceived by reading Revelation 21:10-27. This New Jerusalem (floating in the air like a golden space ship) will find a landing field on the massive clearing that will be created when the feet of Jesus Christ touches the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, which will then cleave to the left and to the right.

Zechariah 14:4
“And His feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.”

Perhaps Satan inspired Rabbi Kaduri and Schneerson to understand Benjamin Netanyahu’s unique destiny so that the Jews will psychologically be prepared to heartily accept the Antichrist, who, like I said, will appear in dazzling brightness and even, it seems very probable, claim glory for Israel’s victory in the Ezekiel 38 war. Convincing the Jews (traditional Sabbath keepers) to accept the Antichrist and the mark of the beast will require a very powerful deception. It appears that these ultra orthodox Rabbis are preparing the way. If they or their followers are innocent, may the light of the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ shine brightly upon their souls — before it forever becomes too late!

Only those armed with the knowledge of prophecy will know that the Antichrist is a false Christ. The rest of the world will be deceived. The problem is that prayer will not solve the problem of these deceived people because it is God Himself that will sponsor their delusion. In case you’re wondering what they did wrong to deserve this divine punishment, their crime is that, when God was telling them the truth, they rejected it.

2 Thessalonians 2:11, 12
“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, (so) that they should believe a lie. (So) That they all might be damned.”

Why?

2 Thessalonians 2:10
“Because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.”

When God reveals the truth to you by any means — a tract, a bus preacher, a WhatsApp post, an unknown television speaker, in church, by email or on YouTube — do not reject it. If you do, the destiny of 2 Thessalonians 2:11,12 awaits you.

Revelation 13:8
“And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”

May God have mercy on all of us.

NB
1.
If the devil tells a complete lie, it will be very difficult for him to deceive the whole world. Some people are just too sober to fall for a complete lie. For a lie to be effective in deceiving such persons, it needs to be obfuscated by sufficient truth.

On the issue of when the second coming of Jesus Christ will take place, the devil is using a foundational biblical truth (which is that no man or angel will know the day and hour) to teach that we will not know the time.

That is a lie.

If it was not possible to know when the second coming (our redemption) is near, there would have been no need for Jesus Christ to have given the encouragement He gave in Luke 21:28:

“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

When you see the clouds gathering, know that the rain is about to fall.

The redemption Jesus Christ is referring to is His second coming. Knowing when it is near is not the same thing as knowing the day and hour. You can expect your wife back home from work without knowing the exact minute she will step in but knowing that, once it is 5pm, she could knock the door at any moment.

How about this?

Matthew 24:33
“So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.”

A visitor already at the door of your house needs to take only one more step to get in. The words of Christ mean exactly as they sound: we will know that the second coming is “any moment from now” even though we would not be able to pinpoint the exact day and the exact hour. By exaggerating the words of Jesus Christ to mean that we would be taken by complete surprise by the second coming, Satan has vaccinated millions against any teaching about the nearness of the second coming.

What a pity!

1 Thessalonians 5:4
“But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.”

Like a thief in the night is a very popular way Christians try to communicate the suddenness of the second coming of Jesus Christ. But can you see that, in 1 Thessalonians 5:4, “that day” will not overtake us as a thief in the night? The Bible was indeed written for intelligent minds!

Again, if there was no way of knowing the last generation, Jesus Christ would not have said the following words:

Matthew 24:34
“Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.”

What things my Lord?

To know what things, go 4 verses back to verse 30.

Matthew 24:30-31
“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

This means that the second coming must take place within the life of the last generation. Because Jesus Christ said “these things” — which include His second coming — must be fulfilled. In fact, it is on the very day that Jesus Christ will descend from heaven that this last generation will come to an end, bringing the 6000-year history of the world to an end. The whole of the last 1000 years will be spent as a Sabbath of rest in heaven. Do not believe the theology of a secret rapture which occurs and then life goes on for 7 years! To the best of my knowledge, it is a lie. The second coming of Jesus Christ will bring this wicked world to an end. You cannot read 1 Peter 3:9-11 and still believe in a secret rapture! It is impossible!

To know which generation is the last generation, see Matthew 24:32. Since the fig tree refers to Israel, when did Israel become a nation again after the dispersion prophesied by the same Jesus Christ in Luke 21:24?

Luke 21:24
“And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.”

For those who may not know, the above dispersion of the Jews prophesied by Jesus Christ about 40 years before it occurred, took place in 70AD. And you don’t need to believe the Bible to accept this. It is in the books of history, such as War of the Jews by Josephus Flavius.

Israel did not became a nation again after the above prophecy was fulfilled in 70AD until the 14th of May 1948AD.

But, in Matthew 24:34, the generation is what Jesus Christ referred to — not the fig tree itself, which is the nation of Israel. And, as shown in Part 1 of this article, the best representation of that generation (born in a reestablished State of Israel after the 70AD dispersion) is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Since Benjamin Netanyahu turned 70 years (on the 21st of October, 2019) the world entered into the Covid season — on the 22nd of October 2019. As shown in my earlier published article, scientists have proven, through molecular clock analysis, that the first case of Covid (technically known as the index case) was infected between mid-October 2019 and mid-November 2019. October 22nd 2019 is within this time bracket. Since that day, conspiracy theories of decades ago have become everyday reality. This is definite proof that the world entered its countdown season on the 22nd of October 2019 — exactly as revealed in the 1844:75 message.

So beware! The devil is a wily foe. His purpose is to get as many of God’s children to hell as he can deceive. To discourage any teaching on the nearness of the end, the devil can even inspire and mislead people to make claims that later do not pan out — and he will ensure that such claims are given the widest publicity possible so that, when a genuine messenger of God later truthfully teaches about the nearness of the second coming, the children of God have already developed fatigue over the topic and will thus be more likely to dismiss the teaching. Beware! There are things we can know about the second coming. And there is one thing nobody can know: that thing is the day and hour. Please stick with the words of Jesus Christ and, as the English man would say, do not throw away the baby with the bath water.

All the religions of the world are presently gathered at Mount Sinai in Egypt. And they want to confess their sin to Mother Nature and then come up with their own Ten Commandments.

The Person that initially did this type of thing at Mount Sinai was Jehovah, and this mockery of Him is to result in the worship of the beast. The only clue I will give those who have eyes to see and ears to hear is this: when Jehovah gave His Ten Commandments, He wrote them on stone tablets — with His own finger — and identified Himself by giving His name (LORD God), His title (creator) and His jurisdiction (heaven, earth, sea, and all that is in them).

How did He do this?

It was through the fourth commandments.

Exodus 20:8-11
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
. . . the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God . . .
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is . . .

Title: Creator; Made = Create.
Name; LORD God
Jurisdiction: heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is.

Moreover, God showed His prophet, Daniel, that an enemy power (referred to as the little horn) will attempt to change His law. There are only two laws in contention in all of Christendom — the second commandment and the fourth commandment. The second commandment forbids the worship of images and is not accepted by the Roman Catholic Church; the fourth commandment commands the observance of the seventh day of every week as the Sabbath and is rejected by majority of Christians. The treatment of the second and fourth commandment was what God, Who knows the end from the beginning, told Daniel about in Daniel 7:25. He even gave a clue that the fourth commandment will be changed by referring to “times and laws” and the only commandment that has anything to do with time is the sabbath commandment.

Daniel 7:25
“And he shall speak great words against the most High . . . and think to change times and laws . . .”

When the religions of the world issue their Ten Commandments, they will hide within it a statement that will require a global day of rest. As surely as the LORD God of Daniel lives, the day of rest that all the religions of the world will choose will not be the seventh day of the week — which is the Sabbath of the God that made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them. The seventh day of the week (the Sabbath day) is the emblem of the true God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and its observance is an homage to Him. The day of the week these religious leaders will pick will be the first day of the week (Sunday) and they will explain this as a necessity to protect the environment. They may not bother to truthfully say that they are attempting to pay homage to the sun god of paganism. And anyone who disagrees with their position will be hated by all nations because they will be accused of being the ones causing climate change and putting people’s lives at risk.

Matthew 24:9
“And ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.”

In case you think this Sunday mark of the beast issue is a wild theory, consider that the foremost psychology magazine in the United States — Psychology Today — is already publicly pushing for a weekly Sabbath to allow for resilience of human beings and heal the planet from the stress imposed by global warming. The sabbath they are pushing is not that of Yahweh but that of the dragon. Several cities in Europe have since banned vehicular movement on Sundays in a movement known as “car free” Sundays. But where did these cities get this idea from? More importantly, what are they trying to achieve?

If you won’t believe me on this, at least you will believe the IAEA.

The IAEA is the International Atomic Energy Agency. It was established by the United Nations (UN) and reports to the UN General Assembly, as well as the Security Council.

Recently, the IAEA proposed a 10-Point plan to immediately reduce oil demand globally. Point Number 3 of this plan is short but prophetically very pregnant. It simply says: Car-free Sundays in large cities.

In other words, vehicular movement should be banned in cities on Sundays. In other words, Sunday should be made holy, for that is the end goal of the car-free Sunday movement. The encyclical of Pope Francis published in 2015 titled Laudato Si proves that to be the case. According to that encyclical, which has been supported by his words and actions since then, keeping Sunday holy is good for the environment.

If you’re not feeling lazy right now, please check the IAEA website and read this for yourself. The shock of seeing a movement for Sunday keeping on the website of the IAEA may wake you up from the deep spiritual slumber caused by the cares of this world.

In any case, if you refuse to accept this mark of the beast that has everything to do with the observance of Sunday rather than the God-commanded seventh day, you will not be able to buy and sell. You will be accused of trying to destroy the environment by refusing to join in protecting the environment. And this is why Covid was so critical to the plans of the new world order. Rightly understood, Covid was a test run — what the Americans would describe as a drill. Apart from other nefarious purposes, the lockdowns were to see how far humans could be controlled without a revolt. This was done by managing the flow of information. Now you know why YouTube channels and other social media accounts of people telling the unpopular truth were banned. Even President Donald Trump was ostracized for publicly saying what a qualified doctor had told him, which was that, with hydroxychloroquine and some vitamins, Covid could be treated. Because the powers that be had decided that everybody must take the vaccine, they saw Donald Trump’s public recommendation of hydroxychloroquine as a threat. If people kept taking that cheap drug and getting better, they would logically not be enthusiastic about taking the vaccine. So Trump had to be shut up — even though he was the President of what every informed journalist and commentator would describe as the most powerful nation on earth. The fact that President Trump could be told to shut up about hydroxychloroquine is proof that Satan — the prince of this world — was the one in charge of the process. Nobody — including the American President — was too big to get in the way of the agenda.

For resisting the Covid mandate in his country and proving that even the saliva of goats was testing positive for Covid, President John Magafuli of Tanzania paid with his dear life. He was eliminated. Have you forgotten? Shortly after that, his Vice President (a Muslim lady) became President and Covid vaccines were promptly introduced into Tanzania. Same thing happened with the leader of Haiti. In his case, he was severely tortured before he was butchered. Amazingly, less than one way after his gruesome death, President Joe Biden sent the first batch of 500,000 doses of Covid vaccine to Haiti. This poor third world country is very close to the United States; still, until the death of their leader, nobody in Haiti was allowed to take the Covid vaccine. So if you think Covid was a joke, think again.

The President of Madagascar nearly paid with his life also for promoting Covid Organics, which was a herbal remedy for Covid. When Nigeria and other African countries proudly began declaring that they will place orders to buy Covid Organics from Madagascar (proudly because Madagascar is an African country) it seems they each received phone calls from the powers that be. Nobody heard anything about Madagascar’s Covid Organics anymore. And the President of Madagascar became quiet. A coup that would have ended his life was fueled by Madagascar’s security forces. I also vividly remember that the Nigerian government had placed an order for a huge quantity of chloroquine from India. This was as a direct result of what President Trump had said publicly and some prominent doctors around the world were backing him up. Even a particular doctor from France published a study at that time showing how many of his Covid patients had improved after a treatment regimen that included hydroxychloroquine. Some patriotic doctors broke away from their colleagues in the American medical association and held a press conference in front of the White House insisting that there was a solution to Covid and the vaccines were unnecessary. But it was the World Economic Forum that was behind Covid and they were able to prove that they were, humanly speaking, the strongest force on earth above all peoples and above all governments, including that of the United States. While the chloroquine drama was raging internationally and especially in the United States — because of what President Trump had said — the incumbent Governor of Bauchi state, Àlhaji Bala Mohammed, grabbed headlines by telling the world that he had contracted Covid and had been successfully treated with chloroquine, together with Zithromax and some vitamins. Since one could not accuse Bala Mohammed of being pro-Trump, people believed his claims and wondered why the World Health Organization and every other United Nations spokesperson was talking down on chloroquine but aggressively promoting the vaccine. Some discerning minds began to add two and two together and knew that something funny was going on; but their views were being routinely censored. The whole world was under tension but, at the end, the powers that be had their way. A global lockdown that destroyed millions of small businesses, caused many suicides, and resulted in starvation in poor countries, went into effect. A so-called vaccine mandate was also ordered around the world. Of course President Joe Biden was dutifully ready to impose a federal mandate in the United States. That was before the state of Florida took the United States government to the US Supreme Court and was able to overturn that federal mandate. Even in Nigeria, if not for God’s intervention at the right moment, all federal civil servants and even some state civil servants — including employees of private companies and multinational corporations providing GSM services — would have been forced to either take the jab or get sacked. It was a new season in the world and everyone with a working mind could perceive it.

It is interesting to note that Nigerians played a role in puncturing the Covid narrative, even though I’m pretty sure that was not what they set out to do. Nigeria was part of the reason why many people began to doubt the Covid narrative. Following their scientific models, the wife of billionaire Bill Gates had predicted that Africans will be dying like flies on the streets. Nigerians were not wearing masks; neither were they social distancing. Yet, Covid seemed to be shy of infecting or killing Nigerians. Before long, Nigerians and people in other countries began to notice this. And as the Covid narrative began to fall apart, the powers that be came up with Omicron. But, by then, people had already become too informed to just roll over. Dr Tony Fauci, who was always holding press conferences, began to run for cover. Up till today, he has remained in hiding. But to drastically distract people from analyzing what Dr Fauci had done to them, the war between Russia and Ukraine soon grabbed the headlines. And people have now forgotten about Covid. What happened to the Omicron variant of Covid? What happened to the delta variant? Because people were not ready to be vaccinated (having smelt a rat in the whole Covid drama) both Omicron and Delta Covid variants apparently just decided they were not going to become a pandemic anymore! That’s how crazy our world has become.

So Covid and the lockdown that accompanied it — including the vaccines — was a test run. And it was done for the sake of preparing the way for the enforcement of the mark of the beast. You remember the signs posted on the glass doors of pharmacies and malls? No Mask No Entry. During the mark of the beast crisis, instead of mask, it will be the mark — however that will be enforced. These people are not joking and all they are doing is to enable the fulfillment of Revelation 13:8. To force people to worship the beast and be able to punish them if they don’t, you do not need 99% control of the world: you need 100% control. And the argument for the enforcement of the mark of the beast will have something to do with protecting the environment. It will also involve Sunday observance one way or the other. Those who will not obey will be punished by being isolated from the financial grid. That is how they will not be able to buy or sell. The Bible categorically says so. But as long as paper money is available, this financial isolation will not be possible or will be very difficult to implement.

Why do you think every nation is going cashless? Very soon, the only legal tender in the world will be digital money. This digital money is known as CBDC — Central Bank Digital Currency. There will no longer be paper money and you will finally understand that we are in the last days. Yes, the day you realize that you have money in the bank (electronic money of course) but you cannot spend that money without accepting a certain government climate change requirement, you will finally realize that you are living in the days of Revelation 13:16 and 17.

“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads. And that no man might buy or sell, save (except) he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”

When the Bible talks about the hand and the forehead (the forehead is between the eyes) it is talking about believing something and living based on that belief. So do not expect what Hollywood has been programming us to expect — that the mark of the beast will be a 666 tattoo on the forehead or on the right arm. That may not be the case. The power responsible for the change of the seventh day Sabbath to the first day (Sunday) has a 666 official title. Thus, the mark of the beast is the mark of the authority exercised by that power when it changed the Sabbath from the seventh day of the week to the first day of the week. If our forehead is actually between our eyes, and our hand refers to our way of living, then consider what God commanded Israel to do with His laws to understand how the mark of the beast drama will play out:

Deuteronomy 6:8
“And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.”

Hand and forehead (which the Bible describes as “frontlets between your eyes”)

For example, king Nebuchadnezzar (before his repentance) set up a golden image on the plain of Dura and commanded everybody to bow before the image. This was in contravention of the second commandment of God. Let’s just say that, by challenging God’s second commandment, Nebuchadnezzar was trying to rival God. If he succeeds and gets you to bow (in obedience to him and in disobedience to God) your bowing becomes your acceptance of his mark — the mark of his authority. That mark is his law (contrary to God’s) and your obedience to Nebuchadnezzar’s law is your acceptance of his mark. That is exactly the case with the mark of the beast. God commands the seventh day (generally known as Saturday) and the beast commands the first day of the week (generally known as Sunday). Observing the first day rather than the seventh is thus tantamount to accepting the mark of the beast that commanded the change. So a tattoo on the forehead or on the hand may not be necessary.

At the end, it is these religious leaders gathered now at Mount Sinai in Egypt that will prevail on the governments of the world and convince them that those unwilling to cooperate for the “good” of the environment (by refusing to accept the Sunday mark of the beast) are evil and should be eliminated.

John 16:2
“They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.”

Just as it happened to Jesus Christ, it is the religious leaders of this generation that will demand the elimination of the children of God. And they will be led in this by the man of sin.

Like I freely admitted in Part 1 of this article and at least one other article I earlier published, after getting the 1844:75 message, which simply points to 22nd October, 2019 — that is, 175 years after 22nd October, 1844 — I initially thought it meant probation will end before 1844:76. That is to say, I believed the message pointed to the year of the end of probation. Now I understand that it points to the year the countdown to the end of probation was to begin. If you believe that the world drastically changed since Covid, just recall that the index case was shortly after 22nd October 2019. This assumption, that probation will not last beyond a year after 22nd October 2019, was what led me to believe that Donald Trump will be assassinated. This is because he was scheduled to remain in office until the 20th of January, 2021 and I could not see how Israel will be attacked by Russia and co without an American response if Donald Trump was President. Now you know why I believed he will be removed from office one way or the other. When I finally got to understand that 22nd October 2019 (1844:75) only marked a countdown to the end of probation, of course I was relieved. But, for record purposes, my initial assumption was a mistake on my part and it was because of a misunderstanding of a message I had received. Sometimes, one can make assumptions about a perfectly accurate message. For example, it would appear that, from the wording of 1 Thessalonians 4:17, Apostle Paul assumed that he will still be alive to witness the second coming of Jesus Christ. But that faulty assumption does not, in any way, vitiate the substance of his message about the sequence of events during the second coming.

1 Thessalonians 4:17
“Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air . . .”

By saying “we which are alive” it appears that Paul assumed that he will be alive to witness the second coming.

4.
If you do not understand much of this message (especially the part dealing with the mark of the beast) I can hardly blame you. And this is because it’s likely that nobody ever taught you this. And your pastor never taught you this probably because he too did not know. The problem is a lack of understanding of Daniel 8:14.

In summary, you may recall that Daniel was commanded to seal his book — until the time of the end.

Daniel 12:4
“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”

The meaning of this prophetic symbolism is that, no matter how many times you read the book of Daniel and how hard you try to understand it, the complete understanding will be shut up, until the time of the end, “when knowledge shall increase . . .”

So how was the book of Daniel unsealed? Who are the people that, biblically, are qualified to claim a perfect understanding of the book of Daniel — including the longest time prophecy in the Bible stated in Daniel 8:14?

The answer to this question is amply and exclusively supplied in Revelation chapter 10.

Revelation 10:1-2
“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head . . . And he had in his hand a little book open . . .”

That little book that was seen open in the hand of the angel is none other than the book of Daniel, which, until then, was shut up or sealed. It is the only sealed book in the Bible. But understanding the book completely was going to pass through a disappointing experience. The ultimate possessors of the knowledge in the book of Daniel will gain this knowledge only after thinking that they had found honey (the date of the second coming) but later realizing that this was not the case — and the Bible refers to this subsequent experience as “bitter”.

Revelation 10:9
“And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.”

22nd October 1844 (arrived at through a decoding of Daniel 8:14) was initially thought to be the day of the second coming of Jesus Christ. Since the second coming of Jesus Christ is the ultimate hope of every Christian, this assumption was described by the prophet as “it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.” But the understanding was different from this initial taste because the understanding was something different from the second coming, even while very significant. Rightly understood, 22nd of October 1844 is the day the judgement Apostle Paul referred to in Acts 17:31 began.

Acts 17:31
“Because He hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that Man Whom He hath ordained:”

It is the date for the beginning of this judgement Paul was prophesying in Acts 17:31 that was supplied in coded form in Daniel 8:14.

No wonder, after 22nd October, 1844 (that is, after the judgement actually begun) a church was born preaching the first angel’s message.

What is the first angel’s message?

Revelation 14:7
“Saying with a loud voice, fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come: and worship Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.”

Notice how the worship of the true God is linked to the fact that He was the One Who made “heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of water.”

Remember the fourth commandment about keeping the sabbath day holy? That commandment mentioned God as creator of heaven, earth, and sea also. Oh please open your eyes and see!

The fact is that God has a right to give us commandments.

But, pray tell, what gave Him that right?

It is because He is the creator. Now you know why the devil gains a stupendous victory by getting you to trample on the only law that announces God as the creator. The only law that proves God’s right to give the commandments He gave.

In summary, only those who hold the master key of understanding Daniel 8:14 can understand the beginning of the judgment stated in Revelation 14:7 as part of the first angel’s message. By the same token, they are the only ones who can rightly identify the manner of worshipping the God Whose judgment had begun. Note that the first angel’s message announcing the beginning of the judgment says to “fear God and worship Him”. These people know the true manner of worshipping God (which is by obedience to the fourth commandment) and they also know what it means to worship the beast because it is part of their responsibility to preach the second and also the third angels’ messages. And the third angel’s message is a warning against worshipping the beast. It is because they know what it means to worship the beast that the remnant are charged with the responsibility of warning the world about this. They worship God simply by upholding His commandments — all ten of them — and this makes it impossible for them to worship the beast. It is the upholding of the commandments of God that makes it impossible for the remnant church to receive the mark of the beast. The beast does not like this one bit.

Revelation 12:17
“And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God . . “

Do you now see that preaching in the name of Jesus Christ may not cause the devil to war against you? Even casting out devils may not cause the devil to war against you? In fact doing many miracles — all in the name of Jesus Christ — may not cause the devil to war against you?

What will cause the devil to war against you?

Revelation 12:17
“And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God . . “

The koko (as we say in Nigeria) is the keeping of the commandments of God. Satan knows this; most Christians have been deceived to think otherwise.

If Christianity is the true religion, then the prophecy of Daniel 8:14 is one of the most important in the Bible because it identifies the year of the baptism of Jesus Christ, Who is the Messiah of the Christian religion. This year is stated in Bible language as 69 weeks but it actually means 483 years. One week is equal to 7 days and a day in prophecy is a year in the fulfillment.

483 years from when?

The baptism of Jesus Christ (known as His anointing) was prophesied by Daniel to occur 483 years after the commandment of king Artaxerxes to restore and rebuild Jerusalem; see Daniel 9:25. Because this commandment was given in 457BC, we know for sure that Jesus Christ was baptized in 27AD. By the way, from Daniel 8:14, 2300 years from that same 457BC is what leads to the 22nd of October, 1844.

Thankfully, the year Jesus Christ was baptized is known in history — through the record of the reign of an important Roman Emperor. This emperor was Tiberius Caesar and it was in his 15th year (27AD) that Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist.

Luke 2:1-3, 21
“Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee . . . the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened.”

Some scholars, just to create confusion in the minds of followers of Jesus Christ I guess, have tried to push different theories suggesting that the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar was 26AD rather than 27AD. No comment.

In spite of the critical place Daniel 8:14 holds in identifying the Messiah of Christianity and also letting us know when the day of judgement will begin (see Acts 17:31) 99% of Christians do not understand Daniel 8:14. And some people comfort themselves disrespecting Satan and singing that “the devil is a fool” then others will respond “he’s a big big fool.” The fool in this matter is clear for the wise to see.

Daniel 12:10
“And none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.”

Almost 20 years ago, I read a book titled The Five Love Languages. These languages are 1. Words of affirmation 2. Quality Time 3. Acts of service 4. Gifts. I think the fifth is Gentle touch: not sure because it’s been so long. The most important information in that book is that, if the love language of your wife is, for example, Quality time, except you spend quality time with her, giving her gifts or sharing words of affirmation with her may not convince her emotionally that you love her. But she will feel loved if the way you express love to her harmonizes with her love language. In reality, people do not just have one love language. But there is always a predominant one.

For the God that created heaven and earth, His predominant love language is obedience. After all, He is God — perfect, powerful, loving, and all-knowing. What, apart from obedience, can you give such a Person? That is why, given an option to choose, God will always prefer obedience to sacrifice.

1 Samuel 15:22
“Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to harken (listen) than the fat of lambs.”

John 14:15
“If ye love me keep my commandments.”

Without understanding this aspect of God, some wonder why Jesus Christ rejected and expelled from His presence people that were sacrificial and active enough in their Christianity to preach in His name, cast out devils in His name, and do many other wonderful works in His name: Matthew 7:21-23. For God, obedience is His predominant love language. It is after you have obeyed Him that your sacrifice will impress Him. This is why the Ten Commandments were not inspired, even though the rest of the Bible was inspired. Any time you see the Ten Commandments in the Bible, always remember that they were copied. Why? Because that is the only part of the Bible that God wrote down by Himself. In your quiet moment, ask yourself why a president will refuse to dictate a letter but choose to write that letter by himself, in spite of having access to the best secretaries in the country. Do you think it is perhaps because that letter is soooooo important? How else do you want God to demonstrate the importance of the Ten Commandments to Him?
Why isn’t the dragon angry with all manner of Christians but only those who keep the commandments of God? Revelation 12:17? All ten.
Will you lose this sweet and everlasting kingdom of God because you were afraid of what your pastor and other people may say if you choose to obey God and start keeping the sabbath day, as commanded by God?

Did the Bible ever teach that the majority will be saved?

Only Noah and his family in an entire world;

Only Lot and his two daughters in the whole of Sodom and Gomorrah and “the cities about them”; Jude 7;

Only Caleb and Joshua among adults over 20 years old in an entire Israeli population made up of 600,000 men, besides women and children;

Only Shedrack, Meshach, and Abednego in the entire kingdom of Babylon;

And the list goes on.

It is always a very few that obey God and part of their discouragement in doing this is the majority. But they find the courage to trust God. True, nobody likes to be different; but will you lose the free gift of eternal life because of fear of the opinion of people?

John 12:42-43
“Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on Him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue.
For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.”

Will you exercise the courage to obey God today or will you be a coward and reject the truth? Bitter tears await those whose eyes God has opened to understand this matter but who chose to close their eyes because of mortal men who do not even know if they will last till next week. What a tragedy.

Think for yourself because there are enough devious pastors out there pretending not to know that all the passages in the New Testament talking about an abrogated sabbath are not referring to the Sabbath of the Ten Commandments but the other sabbaths in the Jewish economy. Beware of such pastors because there is no way they can claim not to know that the Passover is a sabbath, the feast of tabernacles is also a sabbath. And there are several more, including Pentecost and even the day of atonement. Some Christian Jews (already used to keeping these feasts, all of which were sabbath days; in other words, days of rest) attempted to impose this practice on the newly converted non-Jewish Christians. Paul’s admonition was that none of these sabbath days were necessary anymore since, in Christ the substance, they are taken away. God will judge with fire any pastor that misleads an innocent child of God into breaking the sabbath commandment by deceiving them about these issues. But you have to think for yourself. To help you think, consider the integrity of such pastors. They are ready to invent reasons to uphold the yearly celebration of Christmas on the 25th of December, in spite of the knowledge that this day is the birthday of the pagan god Tammuz, mentioned in Ezekiel 8:14. They do this but make of none effect the law of God about the sabbath, in spite of the curious fact that that law begins with the word, “remember.” Why do you still trust them?

If you value belonging to the majority more than walking with Jesus Christ (on the rough and narrow way) please go on breaking the sabbath day every week and telling yourself that the Ten Commandments have been nailed to the cross. Very soon, we shall see if the visa to heaven (after accepting the free gift of salvation) is the Ten Commandments or something else.

Revelation 22:14
“Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”

May God have mercy on all of us.

He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
