  Your willingness to serve him, and acknowledging him as King, doing his will during his reign..he is Antichrist, so those that accept his mark so as to save their souls actually lose them because Gods wrath is stored up for Antichrist and those receiving his mark. But those that don't, well they cant buy or sell and will perish for it, but in losing their souls for Christ they actually find them and gain life.

  Actually Q the numurology of the Biblical texts is fascinating.
  
  It is quite precise in its devotion to acurracy within the formatting of the text itself. And the exegesis of true intent within the books of God. It has been use for mellenia to verify grammaticism in the Bible. To purify and prove authenticity of the chain of trainsmission throughout the ages.
  
  Here is some source material in regards to it. The sources are rather extensive and abtuse reads, unless you are in love with numbers, I am not. But it was interesting for some time anyway.

  (Q)posted 14 years agoin reply to this
  You know, I get that, TMMason. I also get the fact that one number has little if no more significance than another other than simply representing a value.
  
  Most certainly, there are numbers that are derived from mathematics that are ingrained into our minds only because they happen to be the values derived.
  
  For example, pi: 3.14..., the speed of light: 300,000 kps, 1: representing 100% or the whole part of a set of values, are numbers we see and use consistently in those maths.
  
  It always, and I mean ALWAYS ceases to amaze me how some numbers are ingrained into our society with so much significance attached to them, the numbers themselves begin taking on a life of their own.
  
  4 and 8 are numbers in Chinese culture considered unlucky and lucky, respectively.
  
  13 is considered an unlucky number and has its own phobia associated with it.
  
  666 is a beaut. This number seems to have had more cause of frenzied zealotry and mass hysteria than any other.
  
  Now you tell me, do you really think any of these numbers have any significance beyond their values or are they numbers that have such supernatural powers their usage could bring and end to civilization as we know it?

  I can agree, depending upon your definition of Christianity.
  Faith in Jesus was the definition of what a Christian was over 1900 years ago. But then the Roman Empire established a "RELIGION" that took over the known world, and then the "Prophet Muhammad established another "Religion"
  These two entities are going to bring together the kings of the earth to the final battle. I can see it coming.

  Christianity is all who thinks that Jesus is the Christ and accept the bible as the only infallible "word of God" and is the only and final authority on all things pertaining to life.
  
  These are the one that negatively fulfills scriptures.
  They are false and the antichrist.
  
  The bible is the wounded beast recovered.
  
  The mark on the head is those who follow them within and without their denomination.
  
  The mark on the right hand is those who have given their power unto those denominations also.
  
  666 is christ crucified on the Cross.

  This is what I feel to be true.
  I think that you are using too broad of a brush.You seem to be using the bible to condemn the bible.
  I agree that the misinterpretation of the bible is a tool by which the beast has been using to gather its followers.
  I suggest that anyone that proclaims to have faith in scripture to first study those things that are said to be the words spoken by Christ. The knowledge of that will expose a multitude of false interpretations.
  
  If the lord had wanted to have a "Church building", he would not have allowed or prophesied the destruction of The Temple in Jerusalem. Religion not Christianity is the beast that John saw rising up out of the see in Rev 13.

  My opinion is just that. Mine.. This is it...
  This situation is one of those oxymoron situations. The beast that was given 42 months to blaspheme the Lord was the
  church (Christian and muslim). BUT God also sent his two witnesses down to the earth for approx the same period of time; 1260 days. Also these time periods end at approx the same time. A coincidence I think not. I think that these two witnesses were infiltrators within the Church's. When Gods timing comes to fulfillment, the Church will be wakened to her error. At this time the ten kings turn against her.
  Just a plausible thought???

In Revelation we read of those too who have the mark of Christ and God their father on their foreheads, they don't have a literal sign, but its their willingness to subject themselves to God, just as those willingly will subject themselves to Antichrist. Its a mental agreement.

  I just read your hub the two prophets and have a few questions, (1) Concerning the day for a year in prophesy. I think that if is to be used once in order to understand prophesy it would have to apply to them all.
  (2) When reading scripture I see that (Rev 20) at the time of the first resurrection those that did not receive the mark of the beast is seen in heaven where they reign with Christ for a 1000 years. And then after the 1000 years are fulfilled Satan, the Beast and false Prophet are seen when the sixth trumpet is sounded and the Euphrates is dried up.
  Logically speaking we can assume that the 42 months began before the 1000 years began and extended to after the 1000 years are fulfilled.
  This fact raised "many" questions that must be answered before we are to understand prophesy as a whole.

  Its definitely a mental agreement, a mental decision, and when the Antichrist comes, he will be seen as a Saviour, and as Jesus had said many will be fooled by him, even the holy ones of Jehovah, and Revelation goes on to say that the world follows him in wonderment and awe, but the world separated from Christ, the world of mankind receiving this beasts mark and indeed, wrath of God which follows.

  Jeramiposted 14 years agoin reply to this
  When we examine what is actually said in the prophesy, we first have to decide if there is a difference between the prophetic timeline and time on earth. If we believe that there is, we must remain consistent and apply it every time that a time frame is mentioned in prophesy.
  I believe that when it is written that the lord is speaking to a man on earth he uses references that are common for us to understand.
  And when The Lord is telling his messenger angel to deliver a message that he uses terms that he normally uses when talking to the angels; making sure that the angel understands it. The angel then goes and delivers that message exactly as it was given to him.
  I think that this is why this issue exists concerning Prophetic timeline and earthly time line.
  This difference causes much confusion.

I know I have no business on this thread. However, I have noticed often that the Anti-Christ is referred to as male. He is often portrayed as a white male.

If I understand it correctly (I can very easily be wrong) the Anti-Christ is supposed to be the opposite of Christ in all ways.

Does that mean the Anti-Christ is a black woman?

Jerami We are not disagreeing as much as it appears that we are. The new testament consists of a few letters that was chosen out of a vast number to choose from. And then these same men said that these were the only ones that is inspired by God. They said ... That is like saying that we need only to know addition , multiplication and division.

  I know those who see christianity as some true and some false usually will have a hard time with the things I say.
  
  For I say they all are false, simply because to be an accepted "christian" you must believe what they say about the bible. Plus teach their major false doctrine like trinity, among a few.
  
  And since I do not subscribe to none of these and a dey more, I therefore cannot be a christian.
  
  You see J, the jesus I preach is does not fit into the doctrine of the christian church.
  
  For they have locked him into the book. And modified doctrine to suit that premise.
  
  Do you understand why I say the bible is the "beast" while I will still uphold scripture.

  If there is a beast (Rev.13)and I believe that there is. I then would have contend that the scripture written in this book is valid. The beast would have to fit the description given
  Seven heads ten horns and ten crowns.
  In 325 Constantine divided the Roman Empire into seven districts, Seven Popes were assigned to each distict. These districts were then subdivided into three regions. The largest church in each region was assigned authority over the business in that region and another Pope. The Emperor was still the ultimate authority over it all.
  Seven heads (districts)and ten horns with ten crowns Popes)???
  The beast had a body of a Leopard... (Gabriel had already identified Greece as the leopard)... The beast has feet of a bear....(Gabriel Identified as Persia)...And the mouth of a Lion... (Rome) The three regional headquarters were Alexandria (built by and predominately populated by Grecians), Alexandria located in the southern extremity of Persia.
  The Dragon gives this beast his authority and his seat.
  In 325 Constantine gave his palace in Rome to the Pope in Rome.
  
  There is a lot more that identifies who the beast is, but this is enough to chew on for now.

The Church is also said to be the Bride of Christ.

Hadrian scattered the Hebrew peoples across the rest of the Roman Empire attempting to eliminate any memory of that Hebrew Nation. The dragon cast out of his mouth water as a flood (lies) and the earth swallowed them up. They believed the lies and established a formal RELIGION.

Jerami, let of allow your line of thought for a while.

The sleepy virgins I will allow to sleep still.

The woman in rev 12 note that she is in heaven pursued by the dragon.

Consider the Hebrews are the present Jews and the scribes and pharisees at Jesus time, pendadr Jesus did not have pleasing words for them.

Common sense tells us that this woman cannot be any organisation on this earth, for none is good. Whether they be religion or nation.

You may then say that she is within christianity for only Christianity have the name of Jesus vs the rest of religion.
But that would only mean that the christian "religion" is the woman.

And christianity is persecuted as a whole, never by dividing the true from false by outsider.
Exception is only when the distinction is made by their own selves.

The identity of the dragon is obvious. The way how and why he works with his beast is what causes the blindness in most.

If the beast is catholicism then who are her children.
When was her head wounded nearly to death?
What are the lies that seek to deceive men so strongly?
Note Jesus said if the days were not shortened even the very elect would be deceived.

Remember that all Christianity have a core set of doctrines which they build upon, what if it is these doctrine that are the problem and not the ones they fight over.

Like I said before, if you know the truth then all the parables will fit, but trying to make sense from a parable by interpreting it with another parable is entertaining deception.

If CHRISTIAN knew who is the beast and how it works, then christianity would be on more.

It is difficult to cast aside that which many have built their lives upon.
But the call of the Christ is just that.

Christianity is the blind scribes and pharisees with the name of Jesus.

kess said .. The woman in rev 12 note that she is in heaven pursued by the dragon.

Lets address this one issue before moving on.
I have not considered this point of interest. So let us follow through this this analogy. With all respect I would like to express my opinion and if you have any clarification it will be appreciated.
John sees her in heaven waiting to be delivered.And the dragon is waiting for to devour the child. She then delivers the man child (still in heaven?). Then there is war in heaven. Then Satan is cast down to the earth and he persecutes the woman. She must also be on the earth at this stage??? and when she is carried away into the wilderness and hides from the face of the dragon??
I did not see when this woman changed locations from heaven to the earth? But .. if the woman was not on the earth she then could not have been the CHURCH cause that is where the CHURCH is. I do agree that "IF" the church is this woman that gave birth to the man child then Christ was man made.
I do not believe that. If anything... Christ gave birth to the CHURCH, which I also do not believe.
Nothing makes sense to me unless the woman in this vision is the same woman that God has many times described as his adulterous WIFE ..(the Hebrew nation) And who better to be the mother of the son of God than his wife.
Your response will be more than appreciated

  Jerami, the simplest explanation I can give is this.
  
  Wisdom is the bride of truth the word of God,
  They were both one just as Adam was just one until Eve was taken from him.
  She wisdom was separated from truth (Christ) so as to become the mother of all living.
  
  While in this separation, ignorant to Truth, she was accosted by darkness.
  
  And from that union Darkness the dragon was able to establish his kingdom.
  Kinda like the story of Adam and eve and the serpent noting that Peter I think confirmed that Adam was not deceived into eating the fruit but he ate willing in order to face death to restore Eve.
  
  It is not that wisdom supposed within herself to commit such an act, but darkness used her vulnerability to establish himself.
  
  She subsequently repented and was forgiven, and Truth, the first Adam and Christ set about to fully restore her.
  
  So a place was prepared for her until her restoration is completed and she will be fully reunited to her Groom Christ.
  
  Wisdom did bring forth a son, the prince of darkness, and he is the one who pursued the woman in an effort to steal more of her glory.
  And he this deformed son ( product of light and darkness) is the one who is "god of this deformed world" .
  
  For from the the light he received from Wisdom he set up this kingdom and establish the fleshy Adam over it to rule it while he will rule over Adam.
  
  Thus establishing him self as the ruler of darkness above the kingdom of light.
  
  But In establishing man over his kingdom he of necessity gave the light within himself to Adam,
  
  The wisdom of darkness is to use good for the purpose of evil.
  
  Now this is the light we as the fleshy Adam will see with in ourselves and seek the things that are above, while forsaking the things of the flesh. For ar long as we concern ourselves with those things we are subject to the kingdom of darkness.
  
  Truth on his way downwards into death to retrieve all the light from darkness , became flesh and dwelt among us. That is Jesus the Christ.
  
  But now he is back with His and our Father and his light is here within Men as the Spirit of truth. Therefore walking in the Spirit is most important for men.
  
  Also we are the bride of Christ but not only merely the bride we are Gods just as David said, just as Jesus is God for we both have the same Father.
  The sons of God are one with their Father.
  
  Note that darkness,ignorance, evil, nothing are all synonymous terms for a total lack of The presence of God the father of all things, light , knowledge, goodness.
  
  I hope you can get a clearer picture of the issues of this life, and why religion just as goverments are merely tools for the kingdom of darknes so as to Cover and control the Glory of the Sons of God.
  
  There is a lot more I can tell you but it would be easier if you ask.

I was raised in a world that in most instances, if something broke ya fixed it or did without it. When ya started fixin it you always considered the easiest thing to fix first before ya started using your imagination looking for the complicated solutions.
I use that same methodology when studying prophesy. When I want to understand a verse or chapter I look first for the simplest understanding before I turn my imagination on full throttle.
In these prophesy the interpretation of most of the symbols have already been given by prior Prophets such as Daniel. And for further assistance, we were given Jesus's Parables as examples as to how we should interpret what little still remains to be interpreted. All of the answers are right there to see if we know how to look for them.The first thing that we must do is to keep our wild imagination out of it.

@ kess
I believe in the God of Abraham. The only scripture that I have available for reference is the Bible. I use it to establish a foundation for my faith.
If I am going to call myself a follower of Christ I should first understand those things that HE taught. Read those things that is written that HE is to have said.
If this is a half baked Idea then I am guilty.

Jesus was talking about the impending completion of those prophesy that was previously given to those people and the urgency for THIS message to be delivered. For them to repent and be prepared for the "end is near".

The book of Daniel reveals the interpretations of those "BEASTS" that are described in the Revelation of Jesus that was given to John when he was on the Isle of Patmos.
These facts need no further Interpretation.
These things are what my faith is built upon.

To change the meanings of the word of GOD by interpreting the truth out of them is misguided.

If you are a non believer, keep spreading your interpretations. If you are a believer; read the word of God as it is written and keep it the way that it is.
I believe that the misguided belief that a day = a year prophetically ; is the most damaging "Interpretation" invented in all of the Church age.
When we begin reading, all of those interpretations that we Believe are in the back of our mind; influencing what we think that we are about to read, before we actually finish reading it.
We are blinded by ourselves with our preconceived ideas.

Jeramy Until they learn to stop interpreting the written word of God.

kess said I say I know.
What do you have, unsure half baked theories that Changes with every new event?

Jerami says I have ten years of rebuilding my belief system.
I began with one simply written message from God delivered by Gabriel. I accepted this one message as fact and began a study of end time prophesy based upon this message delivered by Gabriel to be fact. It took almost ten years for me to deprogram myself from preconceived ideas that I was getting from those false interpretations that I had been taught.
This journey that I embarked upon seemed to have many dead ends. Many times I would come upon a verse that if true would debunk every conclusion that I had reached up to that point in time. Upon further study I would discover that I was still holding onto yet another false interpretation that I was taught in my youth.
After ten years of taking out the trash, I concluded that the end time prophesy makes total sense, exactly as written if we can get rid of false interpretations and read scripture as if we had never never heard them before;
If we could pretend that we did not think that we were smarter than GOD. If we could pretend that we thought that "HE" was smart enough to say exactly what he intended to say; no more and no less than he intended to say. Then we will find that private interpretation of prophesy was not only forbidden, but a requirement in understanding them. Interpretation was forbidden for a reason. Cause once ya start doin it ya gotta keep doin it, in order to think that ya know what ya think that ya want to know. YA KNOW?
AND THATS THA TRUTH THA WHOLE TRUTH !!

This was important that the story was written. It is also important that we have read about them. I do agree with you that after having read the scripture we are not to worship them. They were an introduction as to who he is. With this foreknowledge of him we can then seek him. Seek and yea shall find.

  He is not a respecter of persons. He revealed himself because they sought after him

  The stories of Torah were not written down until Moses, until the law came. Men were governed by the law because they refused to see the Truth for their hearts were hard, their eyes blinded.
  But it was not always this way. For the men of Faith in those stories never knew those words in text form, they knew the living Spirit. He Himself spoke words, not those of men.
  
  Many ministers today continue to crow about quoting the "Good Book" and proof, you will know Him and increase your faith.
  That is false. For the Author of the Book specifically stated not to do so and even told the teachers of the text that they were misguided.
  
  If He commanded me to speak only that written text, then I would do so.
  
  In my own opinion: Just because I can quote Shakespeare, doesn't mean I know Shakespeare. It just means I can memorize lines and verses, pretend I am Shakespearian -even dress the parts and act out my lines.

Alot of Scolars and Theologions say it is the numerical equivolent of "Nero Dividavis", "Nero Reborn", or something...

Or it matches Culiglia, and a few others from what I understand.

That is why alot of Historians, and the above, say the book of Revalation is not, "literal", but figurative.

Nothing more that a raging rant against the persecution inflicted by Rome on the Jews, and then the Christians.

I believe it symbolizes the rise of a Politcal/socio/Religous state,(Sound familiar?).

Which will rule , invoking a religion and forcing it's belief on all, through the use of death and terror, making all bow before it, and worship it's god and his power.

Jerami the antichrist is the one who takes the truth and make it into a lie while still preserving the appearances of truth.

This lie causes men to do good works upon which the antichrist establishes his kingdom.

The midst of the lie is the beast, this beast is the heart of the antichrist and gives it it's life. His head had been wounded as unto death, as was prophesied in Genesis, but he did live unto this day.

Both have been present from the begining and ruling the hearts of men throughout the ages.

He has assimilated the truth from each and every generation, race and kingdom and in it's place establish it own kingdom of lies called religion with their present names.

He was present during the time of the Christ and the apostles, establishing his kingdom.

He has establish his seat in this day, assimilating the very name which men will turn to for salvation, but instead show them another way, which is the gates of death itself.

I tell you the truth Jerami, the very foundations of Christianity is faulty and if you try to understand all of this without the willingness to relay your foundation, you too will ultimately be deceived.

The antichrist and his beast is a system that have been present from the begining.

In my opinion you are almost there.
I agree with what you have written more than anything else that I have ever read. .. BUT..
I have to believe that the Antichrist could not have been until after there is a Christ to be anti towards.
And Revelations says that the beast was given 42 months to blaspheme the Lord, so it could not have been since the beginning.
This forty two months would HAVE to be "prophetic" months.
According to Religion, a day = a year in prophesy.
Based upon all of the Hebrew months having 30 days
This 42 months would be 1260 years; after it is given its power.
I do not agree with religion in this regard.
Based upon each month having 30 days;
I will bet my life against a dozen donuts, that this forty two months represents approx. 1640 to 1660 years.

Satan does not have to lie to us; We do that to our selves.
When we discover that it takes the intellect of a child to understand scripture, We may start gaining wisdom.
It is "ALMOST" impossible to read scripture without using our own wisdom, and interpreting the truth right out of those things that we are reading .

I really do not how to say this any nicer.

  Or, non believers do NOT have a reading comprehension problem and that may very well be the difference. They are comprehending what they read, hence are not convinced.

  Lets go back to the directions of how to fix a flat.
  The original person that misinterpreted your directions. That person had a reading deficiency.
  Then another person comes along recognizing that those directions as perceived are false.
  Then he declared that the flat can not "NEVER" be fixed.
  He also would be stricken with a reading deficiency; either by his own misinterpretation or his refusal to decipher the original text.

  No Jerami, one simply cannot "declare" something without having a reason to do so. Why did the other person make such a declaration?

  I think that an Atheists best arguements with a believer is their interpretations of scripture more than scripture itself.
  If you or I have been properly decieved, we will not be aware of the fact that we have been decieved.
  Personal interpretation of prophesy of scripture has decieved us all. And this deception over shadows all of scripture.
  If your only arguement is with the interpretations of others then you also are being decieved by their interpretations.

  Q, yes it would, in both cases.
  for the writer did not clearly specify the instruction and the reader clearly misinterpreted the instruction.
  
  your instruction is void should it not enable the reader to clearly define the how-to. and the reader is void because they are unable to understand your written instruction.
  
  hence both the writer and reader are the same....

sorry for not replying, been out of the hub-loop a bit.

Jeremi, Kess:

Whether it was Daniel or John, the reality is that we must break away from the "ideology" of salvation that is Christianity, etc and its teachings of ritual practice.

These are the same things that caused the law to be.
So much that the heads of the sect, when told that the law they lived by for thousands of years in written form was absolutely worthless (now that the fulfillment of that law had come).
So enraged were they that someone had the nerve to tell them to stop reading, memorizing, quoting it, that they torn their clothes and hung Him on a tree.

This antichrist is the opposite of anointed.
One who appears like the truth but is not truth.
hat is simply the law of sin & death. The teaching of the law and practicing the rituals of it.
Christianity defines this and proves this by its own teachings.

Whats more is back then 95% of the population back then was illiterate.

The point being is we can 'read' Daniel, Malachi, Paul, Peter or even Pastor Parsley, but nothing they write in letter or books can explain or show the fullness of Truth.

The fullness must be lived day to day.
I highly doubt He uses a reference manual when communicating with humans so why should be do any different:

Since we were -commanded, not requested- to Be, Do and Act as Y`shua. For He said, As I Am (isn't that a familiar quote) so are YOU in this world...

you are saved, your are blessed, you are free, start living it.
who cares about beasts and demons and angels and things? we are the offspring of our Creator, the seed of Life.
Let's live or we will certainly die....

  I agree completely with most all of the ideologies of Christianity;
  Many Christians follow them and some don't.
  
  We can be a Christian and not worship Church doctrine.
  My only argument with the Church is that it teaches too many Interpretations of prophetic scripture.
  If we follow the advice of Peter as is written in 2nd Peter 1:20 We would see these prophesy in their true light.
  My only argument with the Church is that it has been disregarding this verse for over 1600 years and are unable to break this habit.
  When we eliminate false interpretation of these prophetic scripture, All of scripture would suddenly comes together eliminating division among the Church.
  
  The true Church began with the disciples in the first century.
  But the Church as we know it today was constructed by Constantine in 326AD. Is it possible that Satan infiltrated this Church and planted just a few seeds of deception?
  The willingness to interpret the word of God began when Satan interpreted for Eve, as to why God said to not eat of the tree of knowledge. This fault that Adam and Eve was guilty of has been following mankind through out the centuries and is still alive today.
  The enticement to mankind to interpret the word of God was Satan's first tool that he used to cause mankind to fall.
  This is his most effective tool that he still uses today.

Jerami says... I agree that Religion or its rituals are not what we are to have faith in.
I do not think that Jesus had a problem with reading and understanding the writings of the Prophets. It was all of those man made rules and rituals and interpretations that was being added to the word of God that Jesus chastised.

I was suggesting for those that do preach the prophesy, that they begin their understanding at the beginning of the story and build a belief from there.
It is futile to begin in the middle of a story, working our way back in time; interpreting scripture to fit our preconcieved ideas as to what we want the ending to be.

  Kess, this beast has materialized and nearly 7 billion worship it daily from offices, front porches, churches, mosques and synagogues. It is the belief that we are limited to sin and death.

Jerami you are stuck in a rut as all other christians and as I was.

For one To live the bible one must first interpret it. And any string of letters forms a word and can carry many interpretations, much more strings of words.

The very nature of a letter is ambiguous, for they are formed from the combination of the contrasting. ( Light on dark)

Therefore throw out that which is ambiguous and follow that which is all light.

That light is truth.

Never the less the children of God were constrained to write for all writing is good and they are for the fulfillment of all things.

But he that finds truth in nothing finds truth is all things.

@ kess ...For one To live the bible one must first interpret it.

Jerami says ... That is my point. We do not have to nor should we interpret scripture. We must make every effort to NOT interpret the word of God because when we do, we change their meaning.
If it were not for the written word of the prophets we would be left completely in the dark. These written words of the prophets is the only light left in this world.
And we must not change these meaning.
We must not interpret them.

  Kess is correct spiritual texts have great depth and most do not understand their real meaning.
  Correct interpretation is the key.
  Take for example the way is narrow and when thy eye be single, one Christian said it has nothing to do with meditation like meditation is something evil.
  
  Then Jesus couldnt get more direct when he said the kingdom of god is within and you are all gods, how many understand this?
  
  There are mutliple meanings as well where some texts are concerned.
  
  Then Kess, Jerami has a pretty good understanding of spirituality.

  No Jerami, my point is always this,
  
  One can not and should not even attempt to live by any written text what so ever,
  With that the need to interpret them is non existant.
  
  The Spirit is the guide, the one and only guide to men.
  
  Show me a man who boast about knowing and interpreting scriptures and I will show you a hypocrite.
  
  The one who live by the Spirit knows all scriptures whether he reads them or not.
  
  There are two "word of god", one from heaven and one from beneath. One is life and the other is death.
  
  This is the one point that both twenty one and I make.
  
  Enquire of the way and nature of the moon Jerami, and the Spirit of Truth will teach you.

  I do not know exactly how much I agree with what you are saying. I do see your point and in a diffrent way am saying something very similar.
  I do know that there is truth written by the prophets that Religion has refused to recognize. For example; the truth that is written in the book of Daniel has been Interpreted beyond recognition. The truth that is in your comments are revealed After reading Gabriel's message to Daniel.
  I think that the best way to reveal the truth to self professing Christians is to show them that the messages of their own prophets as they are written in their own bible.
  does not say what they have been taught that it says.

Good morning Mohitmisra ... Phone seems to ring when I'm trying to make a post. Business!! so I can not ignore them.
I must admitt that I am unfamiliar with other writings other than the bible.
My point is that understanding seems to be clear enough in the written scriptures of the KJV, when hundreds of years of misinterpretations are removed from our belief system.
I am not saying that there is not more to be learned after we reach this place of understanding.
I am saying that as a Christian, this is the first hurdle that we must to overcome.

  Hi Jerami , good evening from India
  I admit you have a good understanding of spirituality but lets be honest how many other Christians can understand the Bible.
  
  Truthfully I found it a difficult book to read after enlightenment.Very often I would have to stop and contemplate on the words and believe me I lap up spiritual books really fast as I can relate with them, people get surprised at the speed with which I finish a book.
  
  It depends on the frequency one is in, everyone is not in your frequency.

  Thank you for the compliment. I have said on many occasions that Interpretation of scripture depends upon not interpreting prophesy.
  I believe that the hidden secret to understanding scripture as written in the KJV. is hiding in plain sight.
  To believe the writings of Daniel chapter 9 without interpreting one single thing. When reading what it actually says we will see that 62 prophetic weeks is the same period of time as approx 565 years on earth. Proper application of this equation when studying the prophetic scripture opens a doorway to a diffrent understanding of all of scripture as written in the KJV. A prophetic week equals approx 9.1 to 9.2 of our years. By doing this one thing,all of prophesy falls into agreement. There is a lot of trash (in he form of false interpretation) that must be taken out.
  I must add that this is only an opinion and I'm sticking with it.
  
  Time for me to go make a living. will check back later.

what i was driving at regarding written word v. living word is the same thing Y`shua was driving at. You get caught up in the words that the Word cannot manifest in you.

The words desire from the beginning was to fill each of us with All-in-all. If we continue to 'educate' ourselves in universities, libraries, Google, church doctrines, etc etc, we can never be full of the Word.
It is impossible.

This was the problem with Adam/Eve.
They were deceived into thinking they could do it on their own.
What the Word said to them was manipulated, and appeared to make sense -a truth, logical- so they bought into it.
With it came the logic, knowledge, understanding of their own humanity and weakness -without the Word.

The protective covering of the power of the Word (Grace) was lifted from them and they were plunged into a sea of intellectual chaos.
No longer living the Spirit, could no longer commune properly with the Word and were driven out of 'Eden'.
Since that moment, humans have been trying to 'think' of ways to survive, equate, reason their way.

So no matter what letter, line, verse, chapter, book or library concordance, it all comes back to this:

Seek FIRST the Kingdom of G-d and ALL things will be added.
All things means all things
(how to build a rocket ship, swim without air, run 50 miles in under an hour, call fire from heaven, seal up the sky, stop the sun, walk through fire, heal the sick with just your shadow....etc etc etc)

What is the kingdom:
1. righteousness: the understanding of the creation you were made to be and accepting it. You are the seed of Life.
2. peace: the unity of spirit, mind & body that is evident in the covering of grace, full of assurance.
3. joy: the endless, conscious action of expressing the fullness of Him who is in you, with you, through you and all around you.
