Quoting: b4its2l8 ---- Rev 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. ---- From biblehub: She is nourished in the wilderness. (See Notes on Revelation 12:6.) The length of her sojourn is here called a season, seasons, and half a season; it was called twelve hundred and sixty days in Revelation 12:6. The period is in both cases the same in length, viz., three years and a half--i.e., the season (one year), the seasons (two years), and the half season (half a year). Here in Rev 13:5 It's not days or years, but months: And there was given unto him {the antichrist} a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. Once again we are given the time frame in days - and verse 17 it's repeated, as it's been many times - it's for the last days. Dan 8:12 And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered. 13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? 14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.... 17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision. And to continue in Dan 8 - this verse - revealing when the antichrist will stand in the holy temple to declare he is more exalted than God of the universe (2Thess2:4) 23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. The transgressors being the Israelis (gog magog war - Ezekiel 39) & the king who stands up the antichrist. You can choose God - or not..

By comparing these two chapters, we can learn not only which school of prophetic thought best explains the vision of Daniel 8, but we can see why the identification of the little horn as Antiochus Epiphanes simply isn’t tenable... b. To the east. Antiochus IV’s predecessor, not Antiochus IV himself, subjugated the east with his victorious campaigns of 210-206 B.C. that took him to the frontier of India. Most of the territories involved rebelled and became independent, however, after the Romans defeated him at Magnesia. Antiochus IV attempted to regain some of this territory. After some initial diplomatic and military successes, his forces stalled. He died during the course of these campaigns, apparently from natural causes, in the winter of 164/3 B.C. Antiochus IV did have some initial successes, he did not accomplish nearly as much in this area as his predecessor, and this project was left incomplete at Antiochus IV’s death. Thus his partial and incomplete military successes hardly match the prophetic prediction of the little horn “growing exceedingly great” toward the east....

Quoting: b4its2l8 We know a lot about Elijah - but who is Enoch? Wiki: According to the Book of Genesis, Enoch (/ˈiːnək/; Hebrew: חֲנוֹך‎; Ḥanōḵ) was a son of Cain, and father of Irad. After Cain arrived in the Land of Nod, to which he was evicted by the Lord as his punishment for murdering his brother Abel, his wife became pregnant and bore Cain's first child, whom he named Enoch. Enoch had a rare personal friendship with God: This article sheds some light on that friendship: Friendship With God - A Look at the Life of Enoch Excerpt: Near the beginning of biblical history, we find a man known for friendship with God. We do not know much about the life of Enoch, but we do know that “after he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters” (Gen. 5:22). It seems that, at the age of 65, when Enoch’s son Methuselah was born, Enoch experienced a personal revival. From then on, in his life of 365 years, he walked faithfully with God... [link to www.margiefleurant.org (secure)] More from thew above article: He was a family man, with a wife and children and responsibilities. Yet he learned to cultivate intimacy with God in the midst of daily life. As a result, in the space of three verses, the fact that Enoch walked faithfully is mentioned twice. This repetition is not by accident. We learn a little about Enoch in the book of Genesis - where there are 3 verses devoted to him The first verse is Genesis 5:21 As noted above Enoch had a son at 65 - not that he died by the age of 65: And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah Returning to Genesis 5: 22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah From Biblehub: The Holy Spirit, instead of saying, Enoch lived, says, Enoch walked with God. This was his constant care and work; while others lived to themselves and the world, he lived to God. It was the joy of his life. You can choose God - or not..

Notice that verse 13 states, “"These all died in faith, not having received the promises."” What promises? When we look back on verses 7–11 we see that each person who is mentioned received and believed a promise, so verse 13 only refers to Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Sarah—not Enoch or Abel. Hebrews does not mention any promises concerning Enoch and Abel in verses 4–5. And the author specifically mentions Abel was dead and Enoch was not. Second, there is a simple grammatical explanation. Enoch is the exception to the rule. The rule is that everyone listed did not escape death. And then Enoch is the exception since it was stated, “"He did not see death."” There are only a few lines in the bible that mention Enoch - but there is actually a book of Enoch: Wiki: Book of Enoch The Book of Enoch (also 1 Enoch;[1] Ge'ez: መጽሐፈ ሄኖክ mets’iḥāfe hēnoki) is an ancient Jewish religious work, ascribed by tradition to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah.

Most Christian denominations and traditions may accept the Books of Enoch as having some historical or theological interest, but they generally regard the Books of Enoch as noncanonical or noninspired.

First however, I would like to deal with the controversy surrounding this verse. The preterist view on Enoch: According to 1 Enoch 10.12, this judgment was to occur “seventy generations” from Enoch, during which time the angels who sinned were to be kept in bonds “until the day of the consummation, the great judgment in which the age shall be consummated” (16.1-2). It should be noted that according to Luke (who claims to have “traced the course of all things accurately from the first” in Luke 1.1-4), there are exactly seventy generations from the generation of Enoch to the generation of Jesus Christ (Luke 3.23-37). In other words, it would not have been presumptuous for Jude to claim that 1 Enoch addressed the concerns of the Christians to whom he wrote. The generation of Jesus Christ had not yet passed away. From a preterist perspective, 1 Enoch adds considerable weight to the many passages in the New Testament which clearly indicate that the consummation of the age together with Christ’s second coming took place in A.D. 70 (in the destruction of Jerusalem). This being the case, it should not surprise us to learn that 1 Enoch was banned by Hilary, Jerome, and Augustine and was subsequently lost to Western Christendom for over a thousand years. In short, it was suppressed. Why? Because it could not be made to fit their idea that Christ’s coming had not yet been fulfilled. 1 Enoch’s “seventy generations” was too problematic. It could not be made to stretch beyond the First Century. Copies of 1 Enoch soon disappeared, and were it not for the fact that a number of copies have since been discovered and translated, we would have no knowledge of 1 Enoch outside of the references made to it in the Book of Jubilees, the Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs, and in the writings of the Apostolic Fathers (many of whom regarded 1 Enoch as Scripture: i.e. Barnabas, Athenagoras, Clement of Alexandria, Irenaeus, and Tertullian)....

[link to planetpreterist.com] The futurists view - or those who see it as today, believe the seventy generations start from the flood that destroys the earth: One source: To calculate a generation, we use 70 years. 70 X 70 is 4900. Before I get to the approximate date, let's look at the date from another direction. Jesus said, in Matthew 24, that one generation would see Him return in victory over evil. The nation that sees Israel become a nation starts in 1948. Add 70 to 1948 and get 2018. We can see an approximate timeline from this. Subtract 7 years from this for the great tribulation and you get 2011 as a starting point of approximation.... And from biblehub: And God sent Uriel to Noah, the son of Lamech, to warn him of the flood, and ordered Raphael to bind Azazel, and lay him in a dark cleft in the wilderness, there to remain till the fire received him at the day of judgment. Gabriel had to set the giants one against the other that they might perish by mutual slaughter; to Michael fell the duty of punishing the evil angels; they were to witness the destruction of their offspring, and then be buried under the earth for seventy generations till the judgment day, when they should be cast into eternal fire. Then when all sin and impurity shall be purged away "at the end of all generations," the plant of righteousness shall appear, and a new order of things... You can choose God - or not..

Quoting: b4its2l8 There are some interesting facts about Methuselah: He lived 969 years. This was back in the pre-flood era when nearly all lived extremely long lives. Methuselah may not hold the record of living longer than anyone else, but he does hold the record for living longer than any one else RECORDED Also - if one will take the time to do the calculations, the global flood of Noah's fame came IMMEDIATELY AFTER Methuselah's death. As some preachers have suggested, it is almost as though God was waiting for Methuselah to die before he rained down (pun intended) his judgment on the earth. Methuselah had a son named Lamech who became the father of Noah Just like the flood didn't happen until Methuselah's died; some believe there will be a trigger point i.e. a righteous man's death before the great tribulation. Billy Graham's death for instance. [link to www.burninghearts.org (secure)] Billy Graham was a Mason and worshiper of the Baphomet, phony Jesus. It's hard to tell a real man of the True Living God.

Jude had no reason to doubt that the description of the sons of God (angels) was literal as well: Gen. 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. Also the book of Enoch and the book of Jasher confirm this story and provide even more details....

In Matthew 22:29-30, Yeshua first chided the Sadducees for their lack of understanding of “the Scriptures,” then proceeded to teach a concept that is only found in the Book of Enoch. [link to torahdrivenlife.com] Chapter 1 tells us a vision that Enoch had that would take place at the very end of time or the end of the great tribulation. It's a very frightening vision where everything on earth is destroyed, including man. Enoch 1: 5 And all shall be smitten with fear And the Watchers shall quake, And great fear and trembling shall seize them unto the ends of the earth. 6 And the high mountains shall be shaken, And the high hills shall be made low, And shall melt like wax before the flame 7 And the earth shall be wholly rent in sunder, And all that is upon the earth shall perish, And there shall be a judgement upon all (men).

You can choose God - or not.. But when things go bad - don't expect him to come running; if you choose to live without him. |
