And he 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. 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 many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Daniel 11:45; 12:1,2
Truly this part is something we need to pay attention to - 'thy people shall be delivered- everyone that shall be found written in the book, many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake'- Deliverance and a book with names. This is what the Word of God tells us this about books and names-
Exo_32:32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of THY BOOK which thou hast written.
Exo_32:33 And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
Those who sin against God will be taken out of God's book.
Psa_69:28 Let them be blotted out of the BOOK OF THE LIVING, and not be written with the righteous.
There is a book of the living, the righteous.
Mal_3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
Book of Remembrance- them that feared and thought upon the LORD.
Php_4:3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the BOOK OF LIFE.
…whose names are in the book of life.
Rev_3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the BOOK OF LIFE, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Book of life.
Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Rev_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.
…whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Rev_17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the BOOK OF LIFE from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
…whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world…
Rev_20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the BOOKS were opened: and another BOOK was opened, which is the BOOK OF LIFE: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Books were opened… another book was opened, which is the book of life…those thing which were written in the books according to their works.
Rev_20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the BOOK OF LIFE was cast into the lake of fire.
…not found written in the book of life…
Rev_21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE.
…they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Rev_22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, shall take away his part out of the BOOK OF LIFE, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
…God shall take away his part out of the book of life…
Going back to Daniel's prophecy-
We know this prophecy in the Book of Daniel tells us that GOD'S people are going to be delivered at this point. EVERYONE that is written in the book of LIFE, this is the book meant here in Daniel. There is no other book that has to do with deliverance for God's people. To know that we are given a prophecy that talks specifically of God's people being delivered, the living and the dead, is truly amazing! Read it again…
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 EVERYONE THAT SHALL BE FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK.
Dan 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Jesus stands up, His work in the heavenly sanctuary is complete, all intercession for those who would accept Him as their Savior is over. The Sanctuary in heaven has been completely cleansed and the sins of the entire world are being readied to be placed upon the head of the author of all evil, Satan. With all sin cleansed that will ever be cleansed, the very last plea for forgiveness causing the precious blood of the Savior to be needed to cover and blot out that sin, has been made. No more pleas for forgiveness, no more contrite hearts to cry out for forgiveness, no more repentance sought for sins made and despised. The work is over and the time is at hand and ALL who are Christ's will be redeemed- those still living, and those who have died throughout the many thousands of years who died in His mercy.
This is truly a prophetic utterance of the very last moment before we are redeemed.
Knowing that there is going to a TIME OF TROUBLE such as never was right before the Lord's return gives us information we need. There will be a TIME, a period of time will take place and we don't know how long this will be- but we know it will be right before the Lord returns to save us all, all meaning those who are His. This time of trouble is going to be unlike any other in all of history, and our history books tell us of some very awful times of trouble in the past. Some people are living right now in a time of trouble such as they'd never experienced before, but this TIME of TROUBLE to come is going to be worldwide- could it be any less? The entire world will be involved in the horror to come as Satan makes his last stand before he is to be bound and cast to the wilderness as the goat on the day of Atonement. It's no wonder that this time of trouble is going to be the worse the earth has ever seen. We know for a fact that even human beings have been known to want to kill as many people as they can before they themselves are killed. How much more will the father of all evil want to commit horror and destruction as his last stand. This isn't fiction, though there have been fictional mediums that have depicted the end of the world and Satan. This will be reality and it is a reality that we will, by the grace of God live to see, or rise to know has occurred. As horrific as it will be, I do pray that I am written in God's book of life and that I can bear witness to all that will happened right up to my deliverance by the grace and mercy, the love of my Savior, all through HIS strength, through the HOLY SPIRIT! May God's will be done, now and forever!
Has the beast planted his tabernacle in Jerusalem as of yet?
Dan 11:45 And he 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.
The tents of his palace. Not his palace, but a representative of his palace. It's not there yet and this is why we watch. Our limited comprehension of what this must be is just that- very limited. We must watch Jerusalem. Our eyes must be turned to Jerusalem. Will we know when the tents are planted? I don't know to be truthful, but prophecy is given for a reason and we are given the knowledge of the tabernacles of his palace being planted in Jerusalem. When this planting takes place the end of the beast occurs THEN at that time… simultaneously with the end… Christ finishes His work in heaven. Is it any wonder our eyes should be watching Jerusalem. Mankind's probation will be over. Will we know this? Will we have this knowledge as the time of the worst trouble to ever take place, comes?
I don't have all the answers, I do know that in 70AD - 1,952 years ago, Jerusalem was taken over by Rome and from then until 1967 - 1,897 years later- Jerusalem was out of the control of the Jewish leadership and under a form of Gentile control. Then in 1980 the seat of the Jewish government was moved to Jerusalem solidifying their control. In Luke 21:24 we are told there would be a Times of the Gentiles fulfilled. Prophecy concerning Jerusalem took place! The Gentiles NO longer control Jerusalem. And we know there is a future prophecy concerning Jerusalem that has YET to take place, the planting of the tabernacles.
Our eyes have been drawn to Jerusalem, we are awake and watching. God help us to see all we need to see, to know all we need to know- all to be HIS children, forgiven and redeemed by Jesus Christ!
