THE FULFILMENT OF THE VISION OF DANIEL

INTRODUCTION
"And he said go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand".

- [Daniel 12:9-10]
There is time and purpose for everything that happens under the sun, so do not worry much about the disorientation, chaos, predicaments and quandary of the present day "Christianity". All you need to do is holding fast to your unwavering faith, because, at God's own appointed time, all things will be made beautiful for the elects sake. They will triumph over this Evil-Anti-Christ Christianity, an obstacle which derail the saints from entering into the Kingdom of God. Though, the Vision may tally, yet will it come to pass. God, in His infinite wisdom, chose Israel from Abraham, the covenant man, as His first-born, loved and glorified him. He knew perfectly well that at a certain point in time Israel will fall away from His presence, and be captivated with his own Sins, so He placed in His eternal plan, the due consequences sealed up among His treasures and laid in store waiting for its appointed time.

Moses in Deuteronomy 31:29 said "For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands". And in:

Deuteronomy 32:34-36, 39-40, God said "Is this not lay in store with me and sealed up among my treasures? 35 To me belongeth vengeance; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come before them make haste. 36 For the Lord shall judge His people, and repent Himself for His servants when He seeth that their power is gone, and there is none that shut up or left. 39 See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no God with Me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound and I heal; neither is there any that can deliver out of My hand. 40 For I lift up My hands to Heaven and say, I live forever".

Moses was moved by the Spirit to declare unto his people the calamity that would befall them in the later days because of their own evil deeds that they would commit in the sight of the all-knowing God. This would provoke God to anger. David in the Psalms, and the Prophets, like Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Amos, Zechariah, etc also confirmed Israel's 'falling away' from the presence of God before God's appointed time was fulfilled for Israel to reject the Gospel and received the due punishment.

Notice how specific was God's warning to Israel in Deuteronomy 12:29-31, and why He warned them! "When the LORD your God shall cut off the nations from before you.and you succeed them, and dwell in their land; Take heed to yourself that you be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before you; and that you enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? Even so will I do likewise. You shall not do so unto the LORD your God: for EVERY ABOMINATION to the LORD, which HE HATES, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters have they burnt in the fire to their gods".

Their hard-heartedness caused their disobedience to the Commandments, laws, statutes and precepts of God; and their blindness to the coming Messiah. Due to their unbelief Jerusalem was made a cup of trembling unto all nations round about and there had been a siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem (Zechariah 12:2). The people of Israel had now been scattered throughout all nations to fulfil the scriptures in Zechariah 7:11-14 "But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear. 12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts. 13 Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts: 14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate".

The scriptures had made it clear that the same falling away would happen to the Gentiles after the departure of the Apostles of Jesus the Messiah, so God revealed unto them to warn the Church against His wrath. Prophecies in the Old Testament were kept for their fulfilments in the New Testament, while Prophecies in the New Testament had been kept for their fulfilments in these End times. There are some prophecies in the Old Testament which had been preserved to confirm the New Testament prophecies for the End Time. Consider 2Thessalonians 2:1-3, "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition".

There would be a "falling away of the Church" first, then the man of sin be revealed, before the appointed time of the elects from all nations be gathered together to see God's Glory. Isaiah 66:18 says "For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all Nations and tongues; and they shall come to see My glory". This portion of Isaiah's prophecy has not been fulfilled for all the Gentile nations have not come together as one holy nation for God as Peter wrote in 1Peter 2:9; and there had never been One Body of tyhe Gentiles endeavouring to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace that Paul also wrote in Ephesians 4:2-6.

Paul in his epistle to Timothy wrote in 1Timothy 4:1-2 "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the FAITH, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils", and in 2Corinthians 11:2-4 "For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him". This is a very dangerous situation of the Church to depart from the faith, and preach another Jesus, receive another spirit and accept another gospel, which is not of Yahushua Messiah (Jesus the Christ).

In 2Thessalonians 2, Paul spoke about the falling away, which is the great apostasy of the Church; and this would happen before the dreadful day of the Lord comes. The prophesy of Daniel is the continuation of the Apostasy of the children of Israel, and it describes how the Gentiles Nations that would accept the gospel, would also fall into Apostasy, so that God's judgement would be set; and His everlasting kingdom established which would be given unto the saints of the Most High; and all dominions would serve and obey. Apostasy is pictured as the heart turning away from God (Jeremiah 17:5-6 "Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited")

The closed up and sealed prophecy of Daniel is one of the Old Testament prophecies which had been kept until its appointed time in the End Times. Daniel 12:4 says "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". Amos also in the chapter 8 of his book verse 11 to 13 said "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: 12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst".

The devil knowing these had devised a means to satisfy the fair virgins and young men with the so-called "latter-day-rain" which they claim to be "end-time anointing" to produce false food (another doctrine) to deceive even the elects; 2Timothy 4:3-4 says "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables".

Since we are living in the end times, it is more expedient for the saints of the Most High to come to the accurate knowledge of God's truth about His Church. For, knowledge concerning this end time have been sealed up, and kept in store among God's treasure, till its appointed time. The sound understanding of the vision has therefore been given only to those who are Wise (Daniel 12:10 "..and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand"). What we ought to do now is to pray for God to endow us with wisdom, knowledge and understanding to disclose this mystery, so that we may be acquainted with the true revelation, and comprehend the system of our worship.

The church had been in the state of Apostasy from the very day the church Council made up of the Pentarchy - Constantinople (Turkey), Rome, Antioch, Alexandria and Jerusalem Patriarchs - together with all the Bishops, met in 325AD at Nicaea to write a new doctrine as the Nicene Creed for the Church. The introduction of "Filioque", the enthronement of Mary as the mother of God so as to be worshipped and the formation of Christianity by the Roman Empire, had all contributed to the apostasy of the church. "Filioque" is the Latin for, "and from the Son", inserted by the third council of Toledo (a. d. 589) in the clause "who proceedeth from the Father" of the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed (a. d. 381), which makes a creed state that the Holy Ghost proceeds from the Son as well as from the Father in the doctrine of Trinity. "Christianity" became the official religion of the Roman Empire in 312 AD and was declared as a universal religion in Roman Empire in 380 AD.

Many theologians, religious proselytes, heretics, philosophers, biblical historians, etc have tried to put Christianity on its right FAITH but because its foundation was not built upon Yahushua Messiah, all their efforts have been in vain; and the result is the uncountable Denominational Churches that we see today. The question is "do God approve of these numerous denominations"? Many people have become frustrated and confused; some have lost their hope in Christianity, creating the impression that there is no God and blaspheming against God and His Holy Spirit. O God! What a great apostasy!

Well, you will be surprised to note that, what you have believed to be the Churches of the Lord Jesus Christ today - I mean "Christianity" and its numerous denominations - is nothing but a collection of garbage dumped in an obscure place, an abominable entity which leads men to destruction and eternal damnation. I'm not trying to be audaciously rude or disrespectfully insultive to God, but this is the Gospel truth, and God bears me witness that this is the Anti-Christo Church Paul confirmed that it had already started from Yahushua Messiah's reference to the prophet Daniel.

Matthew 24:15-19 "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

Isaiah 14:12-14 says "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Satan has set his throne in the Temple of God and is ruling the Church. By the time you finish reading this book your understanding will be enlightened, and you will come out from these impertinent imitationists, who claim godliness but lack its truth and righteousness.
