Yesterday we began to delve into what I believe could be or could not be unfilled prophecy. What I do know is this, the papacy has NOT come to its end. The little horn power has not come to its end, the beast power has not come to its end. How do I know this? Because evil still exists in our world and our Savior has not yet returned for us.
Let's re-read the same verses we read yesterday-- (Note- parenthesis content is added by me). But first…
Previously we determined through this prophecy in Daniel 11 that the 'him, he' in the following verses are the Papacy. If you have NOT read the previous studies which clearly lead up to this truth through the study of history and prophecy then you really need to. I do NOT want you to take my word for this! I do not want you to read this and wonder how in the world I came up with this stuff. I would tell you to please, go back and read these prophecy studies from the very beginning for continuity. This is the 54th study in this series on prophecy so there is a whole lot to read to comprehend how I got to this point. You do not start in the middle of a book and expect to understand what's going on. This isn't a book but the same principle holds true. So please, don't dismiss this out of hand because it sounds absurd to you, pray and ask God to guide you to all truth and please read the study from the start.

Dan 11:40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him (the Papacy): and the king of the north shall come against him (the Papacy) like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he (the Papacy) shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
Dan 11:41 He (the Papacy) shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his (the Papacy) hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
Dan 11:42 He (the Papacy) shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
Dan 11:43 But he (the Papacy) shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
Dan 11:44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him (the Papacy): therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.
Dan 11:45 And he (the Papacy) shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
Now, we ALL know that mankind put the chapters and verses divisions into the Bible and sometimes there are continuations that should be there where they are not.
Let's continue a bit…
Dan 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
*
AND at that time, what time? When the Papacy plants the tabernacle of his palace between the seas and the glorious holy mountain (Jerusalem), the Papacy would come to his end and none will help him- and at THAT time- MICHAEL shall stand up, that great prince (Jesus) which stands for the children of thy people.
The Papacy meets its end- and then Jesus stands up!
Where is Jesus? In the Heavenly Sanctuary, the same sanctuary that needed to be cleansed. That cleansing began in 1844. After 6000 some years of sin, with the last 172 years of cleansing underway from ALL that sin accumulated over time- we are STILL In the cleansing phase and will remain in that cleansing phase until our SAVIOR stands up, until His work in heaven as our High Priest is over and He takes on the crown of King of Kings who comes as conquering Deliverer!
Do you see!? We are so close to this amazing second coming of our Savior! We are living in predicted time- every human being alive is living in predicted time. We have to watch and pray, we are told to watch and pray and there is SO much we need to watch and so many prayers we need to pray!
We'll continue with more tomorrow but we really need to think about this- OUR FUTURE! If you hope to be alive when our Savior returns then this has to interest you! I know I hope to be alive when Jesus returns and this interests me a great deal. There is going to be a period of time between the moment our Savior ceases His cleansing work as our High Priest and when He returns for us. One thing is certain that in that time we will be living under the full righteousness of our Savior, under His full grace - cleansed and free from all sin. In that state of being made clean, in that completely purified state we will be ready for our Savior when he comes for us. We won't be cleaned in any way by our own power, we cannot cleanse ourselves- all our righteousness is as filthy rags. Christ must cleanse us, Christ's righteousness must be ours- we have no righteousness of our own. All through Christ, everything through our Savior.
May we grow closer and closer to our Lord, our only hope, our LOVE!
By His grace! By His mercy! By His forgiveness!
Amen!
