Answer 1

According to Dan 8:14, from the time that the anitchrist first arises until Jesus returns is 2300 days, which is approximately 7 years. If the antichrist arose today and he has not then the earliest date that Jesus could return would be 2014, which eliminates the Myan calandar and the athesits presenting their view as a reliable view.
Dan 8:13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to that particular one who was speaking, “How long will the vision about the regular sacrifice apply, while the transgression causes horror, so as to allow both the holy place and the host to be trampled?” 14 He said to me, “For 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the holy place will be properly restored.”
Below are the insights that Jesus revealed to me as to where we stand with regard to the fulfillment of the prophesies pertaining to the end of the end times.

The Persian Gulf War, Al-Qaida, Osama bin Laden, The Ten Nation Kingdom, Russia

The vision Daniel recorded in chapter eight symbolized the Persian Gulf War, which occurred between the USA and Iraq, the brake up of the Muslim kingdom resulting in the emergence of the al-Queda network, Saudi Arabia, the nation within the kingdom of ten nations that the first of the ten kings arose from and Osama bin Laden, who is the first of the ten kings from among whom the man of lawlessness will arise. This war also marked the beginning of the final period of indignation or the end of the end, which is centered around the revealing of the man of lawlessness and the return of Jesus Christ. (Dan 8:19) And he said, "Behold, I am going to let you know what will occur at the final period of the indignation, for it pertains to the appointed time of the end.
The ram with the two horns depicted in Daniel 8:3 and explained in Dan 8:20 represented the kings of Media, which is Iraq and Persia, which is Iran. The smaller of the two horns depicted in Dan 8:3, symbolized King Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran. The second and longer horn that came up last, which symbolized the more powerful of the two kings, was King Saddam Hussein of Iraq. (Dan 8:3) Then I lifted my gaze and looked, and behold, a ram which had two horns was standing in front of the canal. Now the two horns were long, but one was longer than the other, with the longer one coming up last.
(Dan 8:20) "The ram which you saw with the two horns represents the kings of Media and Persia.
Daniel 8:4 portrayed Iran and Iraq butting northward and southward against each other, westward against Israel and southward against Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. (Dan 8:4) I saw the ram butting westward, northward, and southward, and no other beasts could stand before him, nor was there anyone to rescue from his power; but he did as he pleased and magnified himself.
The shaggy goat, which is referred to as the “kingdom of Greece” in Daniel 8:21, that is depicted as coming from the west over the surface of the whole earth in Dan 8:5, symbolized the USA and the many nations that joined with the US against Saddam Hussein. The male goat, depicted as coming without touching the ground, portrayed the air war that destroyed Saddam Hussein's military. The conspicuous horn between the goat’s eyes symbolized Saudi Arabia, which confounded fellow Muslim nations when they permitted the USA, a non-Muslim, pro-Israel nation to use their land to stage the attack against Iraq, a fellow Muslim and anti-Israel nation. The shaggy goat was called the “kingdom of Greece” because during the time of Daniel it represented the unknown western world. (Dan 8:21) "And the shaggy goat represents the kingdom of Greece, and the large horn that is between his eyes is the first king. (Dan 8:5) While I was observing, behold, a male goat was coming from the west over the surface of the whole earth without touching the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.
Daniel 8:6-7 foretold of the USA and their many allies utterly destroying Iraq’s military while no other nation could rescue Saddam Hussein. (Dan 8:6-7) And he came up to the ram that had the two horns, which I had seen standing in front of the canal, and rushed at him in his mighty wrath. {7} And I saw him come beside the ram, and he was enraged at him; and he struck the ram and shattered his two horns, and the ram had no strength to withstand him. So he hurled him to the ground and trampled on him, and there was none to rescue the ram from his power.
The male goat, depicted as magnifying himself exceedingly in Daniel 8:8, symbolized the celebrations that occurred in the USA after the Persian Gulf War, which included the renaming of certain military bases to reflect the USA's air superiority. While the USA magnified it's self the large conspicuous horn that broke and the four conspicuous horns that grew towards the four winds of heaven or through out the earth in its place portrayed the break up of the Muslim Kingdom, of which Saudi Arabia is the center of worship, and the emergence of four conspicuous dissident Muslim kingdoms that proliferated through out the earth. One of these four conspicuous horns or dissident Muslim kingdoms, that arose after the Persian Gulf War without the authority of the king of Saudi Arabia, as was foretold in Dan 8:22, was Osama bin Laden’s al-Queda. After the Persian Gulf War it was Osama bin Laden who lead the break up of the Muslim kingdom when he aroused Saudi Arabian groups who opposed King Fahd and expressed anger at him for allowing the USA to use Saudi soil to launch an attack against Iraq. After bin Laden left Saudi Arabia in 1991 and went to Sudan King Fahd stripped bin Laden of his citizenship. A second of the four conspicuous horns or dissident Muslim kingdoms became visible in 2006 when they carried out the train bombing in Madrid, Spain. It was discovered that this dissident Muslim kingdom was not part of al-Queda, but was and is committed to the same cause, which is to overthrow Israel. A third conspicuous horn or dissident Muslim kingdom might be the southeast Asian dissident Moslems who have been carrying out terrorist acts in such countries as Indonesia. The four conspicuous horns or dissident Muslim kingdoms are made up of terrorist groups that have proliferated throughout the world and can be distinguished by their common cause and cooperation with one another when they commit terrorist acts with al-Queda against the USA and Israel. (Dan 8:8) Then the male goat magnified himself exceedingly. But as soon as he was mighty, the large horn was broken; and in its place there came up four conspicuous horns toward the four winds of heaven. (Dan 8:22) "And the broken horn and the four horns that arose in its place represent four kingdoms which will arise from his nation, although not with his power.
Daniel 8:9 explains that the man of lawlessness, who is represented by the rather small horn, will come out from among one of these four conspicuous or dissident Muslim kingdoms and grow powerful in the south, east and the Beautiful Land, which is Israel. (Dan 8:9) And out of one of them came forth a rather small horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the Beautiful Land.
Dan 7:24 points out that the conspicuous horn or the conspicuous Muslim kingdom that the rather small horn or the man of lawlessness arises from among is a kingdom made up of ten nations out of which ten kings arise. (Dan 7:24) ‘As for ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings.
The large horn between the goats eyes described in Dan 8:21, which symbolized Saudi Arabia, the nation that helped the USA in the Persian Gulf War, also symbolized the nation that the first of the ten kings arose from and the king that arose from that nation. The first of the ten dissident Muslim kings to arise, who was born in and who arose from Saudi Arabia in 1991 was Osama bin Laden. (Dan 8:21) "And the shaggy goat represents the kingdom of Greece, and the large horn that is between his eyes is the first king
Rev 17:12 further points towards Osama bin Laden as the first of the ten kings when it describes the ten kings that the man of lawlessness arises from among as renegade kings who do not rule over a country, but who will receive authority as kings when they join with the beast or the seven heads forming the fourth and final beast, which arises just before Jesus returns. (Rev 17:12) “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour.
Dan 8:23 is referring to al-Queda, the Madrid, Spain bombing terrorist group and the Southeast Asian group when it describes that the man of lawlessness will arise from one of the four conspicuous horns or dissident Muslim kingdoms after they complete their transgressions, which are the terrorist acts that these groups are committing against Israel, the USA and those countries who dare to side with them. Some of these terrorist acts, which began after the Persian Gulf War ended in 1991, include the attack on US soldiers in Somalia in October 1993, which killed 18; the attack on the US Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in August 1998 which killed 224 and injured nearly 5,000; the millennium-bombing plot targeting the Los Angeles airport; the attack on the USS Cole on 12 October 2000, in which 17 crew members were killed and 40 others injured; the plane-bombing of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 which killed 3000, the bombing of a night club in Indonesia and the Madrid, Spain train bombing. Dan 8:23 further tells us that when these four conspicuous horns or dissident Muslim kingdoms complete their terrorist acts the man of lawlessness will arise from the conspicuous horn or ten nation kingdom and the ten dissident kings that Osama bin Laden and Saudi Arabia are a part of. (Dan 8:23) "And in the latter period of their rule, When the transgressors have run their course, A king will arise Insolent and skilled in intrigue.
In the light of the revelation that Saudi Arabia is one of the ten nations that make up the kingdom of nations that the ten kings arise from and that Osama bin Laden is the first of the ten kings to arise, when Hezbollah attacked Israel from Lebanon in August of 2006 the Holy Spirit gave me the insight that these dissident Moslem groups and the nations that they arose from are also part of the ten nation kingdom that the ten kings arise from and that the antichrist will arise from among. Without knowing the exact names by revelation, we can figure out some of the other nine nations and the dissident Moslem terrorist groups that arose from them, which are working side by side with Osama bin Laden’s terrorist group al-Queda and Saudi Arabia. Some of the other nine nations and the terrorist groups that are part of the ten nation kingdom that the ten kings arise from and the antichrist will arise from among soon, which are working with al-Queda, include Hezbollah from Lebanon, Iran, Hammas from Jordon, Pakistan, Syria, Egypt, Yemen, Turkey, and Iraq.
The picture above is described in Dan 8:8, 22-23 and Dan 7:24, which ties these nations to Saudi Arabia and Osama bin Laden’s al-Queda when they explain that these nations make up a kingdom which is engaged in transgressions or terrorist acts against Israel and the USA.
(Dan 8:8) Then the male goat magnified himself exceedingly. But as soon as he was mighty, the large horn was broken; and in its place there came up four conspicuous horns toward the four winds of heaven. (Dan 8:22-23) "And the broken horn and the four horns that arose in its place represent four kingdoms which will arise from his nation, although not with his power. 23 "And in the latter period of their rule, When the transgressors have run their course, A king will arise Insolent and skilled in intrigue. Dan 7:24 ‘As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings.
Dan 11:21-22 and Dan 9:27 further points towards the above named nations as that kingdom of ten nations that the ten kings arise from and the antichrist arises from among, when they explain that when the antichrist arises he will make and peace treaty with Israel and these are the nations that are presently engaged in an escalating conflict with Israel. It is also interesting to note that these nations are those nations that the dissident Muslims with in them are causing them in varying degrees to shift towards Islamic governments, which propagate Jihad to achieve their desires.
Dan 11:21-22 “In his place a despicable person will arise, on whom the honor of kingship has not been conferred, but he will come in a time of tranquility and seize the kingdom by intrigue. 22 “The overflowing forces will be flooded away before him and shattered, and also the prince of the covenant. Dan 9:27 “And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.”
It is easy to imagine, since no one has been able to stop Hammas and Hezbollah from attacking Israel, that when the antichrist arises, as depicted in Dan 7:24, he will have to subdue three of the ten renegade kings that are in charge of these terrorist groups in order to implement his peace treaty with Israel.
Dan 7:24 ‘As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings.
After being led to read William Branham’s biography and a vision in which he was shown that Russia is the King of the North and Daniel chapter eleven, which tells us that the antichrist will take control of the kingdom of the North or Russia, I would like to add that the Holy Spirit revealed to me that the fulfillment of the ten toes, which are made partly of clay and partly iron through the seed of men, which portrays marriage, occurred when Stalin came into power in the 1920s and those whose lives he sought to kill fled to and married natives in the ten nations, which I mentioned above, that make up the ten nation kingdom, which are represented by the ten toes symbolized in the vision of the fourth and final beast that is recorded in Dan 2. The iron symbolizes those that fled Russia, whose ancestors began returning after the USSR broke up, and the clay symbolized those that they married in the ten nations to which they fled. When they returned to such places as Chechnya, which is still under Russian control, they not only brought their symbolically clay family members back with them, but they also brought their anti-Israel views into Russia, which they became a part of because they were in those ten countries at the time Israel became a nation in 1948 and the conflicts began.
Dan 2:41 “In that you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, it will be a divided kingdom; but it will have in it the toughness of iron, inasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with common clay. 42 “As the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of pottery, so some of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will be brittle. 43 “And in that you saw the iron mixed with common clay, they will combine with one another in the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, even as iron does not combine with pottery.
In the light of the tie between the returning Russians and the dissident Muslims in the ten nations that they are returning from and Rev 17:11, which tells us that the antichrist comes out of one of the seven heads, one of which is Russia and becomes the eighth king that the woman sits on or rules over, I would like to point out that it is possible for the antichrist to come out of one of the small countries that Russia is fighting to maintain rule over, take control of Russia, as William Branham was shown and also come out from among the ten renegade kings and their dissident terrorist Muslim groups at the same time, as depicted in Dan 7:24 .
Rev 17:9 “Here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits, 10 and they are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while. 11 “The beast which was and is not, is himself also an eighth and is one of the seven, and he goes to destruction. 12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour. 13 “These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
Dan 7:24 ‘As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings.
In addition to this I would like to add that Russia is the head with the fatal wound that will be healed as described in Rev 13:3.
Rev. 13:1 And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names. 2 And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. 3 I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast;
Jesus’ return is closer than we think and He still calling everyone who has not believed to believe that He died and arose again from our death penalty for us. By our belief in Jesus Christ we are baptized into His death and resurrection from the dead and having died with Christ through our belief we are pardoned from having to die the second death, which is forever at the end of the age. (John 3:16) “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

Bro. James D. Albright

Answer 2

No. I do not consider such garbage. They mentioned the sector might finish on the flip of the final century as good, and we are all nonetheless right here. It does not topic. This entire factor will blow over as soon as 2012 passes, after which a few years later every body might be fretting approximately every other date in time while any individual says the sector will finish. It's all a number of meaningless foolery.

Answer 3

I think the date is Dec 24, 2012 that is being thrown around. Perhaps the Mayans just ran out of room on the rock they were chiseling their calendar on. People have been carrying signs around saying "the end is near" for hundreds of years. If it is or if it isn't, will worrying about it help? Live today. If you believe in a god, let god take care of tomorrow.

Answer 4

End Times, All The Time.

Answer 5

The world will end, but not when anyone says it will. In the Bible, Jesus said that nobody knows the day or hour but the Father. Anyone who thinks they know when it will end is terribly wrong because its a secret that only God knows. Predicting dates will only fuel unbelief when the world does not end on that day.

Answer 6

No, not at all. It has been predicted a number of times before. Sir Issac Newton calculated that the end would occur in 2060. Peace

Answer 7

If you believe in the bible then you should know that the bible says that no one not even Jesus himself knows when the end of time is. I dont think that anyone can predict this. Who knows when man kind is going to be dumb enough to finally take us comletely out?

Answer 8

If you trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not into thine own understanding...Does it really matter when the time is up for for the evil one, that is thrown into the deep along with his fallen host, he is defeated! Praise be to God.

Answer 9

2012 is the mayan astologer's prediction... its meaningless.

though i do believe we're nearing the end. Christ is at the threshold of the world, and the waters of His wrath are furiously pounding against the dam of His mercy.

Answer 10

Of course not. The end of the world has been predicted for hundreds of years and every prediction has been wrong, wrong, wrong.

Answer 11

Don`t know the exact date, but it seems we are hurdling toward it. How much wackier can this planet and the people on it get ?
