Simple Chart of End Times Events

see attached


Sorry guys, it wont let me show you and I cant seem to cut and paste it either. Oh well.

Here it is.

I cant believe what a problem it was trying to get this info up. It was almost like something was fighting me. Ahh, probably not, just me being lame right?

Well, after my first stumble, I am at least glad to see that some took the time to check it out.

As you can see, there are no flaws that I can find in it this chart. It is simple and straightforward. All you need to understand is that the Seven Angels are representative of real people who will be endowed with vast amounts of the Holy Spirit, just as Jesus was, and that the times listed are truely literal, which makes sense since they all add up perfectly, something that should not occur if these numbers are representative of something other than what they literally say

I have taken the Bible at face value and not put interpretations on it that cannot be substanciated, such as the "this has all happened in the past" idea. Actually, it all HAS happened in the past, but not in the pure form that is coming. This is the basis of how you can understand what is to transpire. This is shown in Daniel 9 when Daniel prays to God about the Seventy Years he has just lived through and God suddenly begins to speak of a Seventy Week period in the future. It shows that God was using these past events to give understanding of what was to transpire in the future.

To make everyone elses interpretations fit, much has to be assumed that is not in the Bible. I dont have to do that. I simply list what it says and show the order in which it works, and it works perfectly I might add.

Retrobyter, seven years is a misnomer, based on the false interpretation of the failed "day for year" theory using the one week of Daniel 9. The actual event itself will start based on the actions of the First Angel, which will kick off the 2300 days of Daniel 8 when he falls, and will only end a little over 70 someodd days after the resurrection of the Two Witnesses, which is after the 2300 days, as the chart explains.

Oh, and did you ever think that maybe there is another spirit entirely that was trying to stop me? It could be either way you know. Since I perservered, I have to assume that it was NOT the Holy Spirit that was fighting me, since, if it was, I do not think I could have overcome it and gotten this info out, unless you think I am stronger than God which is rediculous, Also, this is somewhat thanks to you and Teleosis I might add, since it was your words (and that chart he posted) that inspired me to continue trying to find a way to post this.

Also, I have thank this Board for giving me the idea to make a chart in the first place. I have found that most of those I try to tell of this cannot picture what I am trying to say for some time and, since it seemed so clear and easy to understand for me, I was at a loss as to understand why people could not see it as easily as I do. Then I saw someone else make a chart and suddenly I realised that it was because they could not visualize what I was saying and put it together coherantly that might be the problem. Also, I realised that if I could not make a chart to demonstrate my thinking, then it would prove that others might be right in thinking that what I was trying to show you did not make sense. This is what inspired me to do this, so, whether you think this chart is correct or not, I have to thank you all for motivating me to make it.

Well, without seeing it, I guess I can't offer an opinion on that, now can I? Personally, I think this one is pretty good, but anything is open to improvement.

Were you able to see how all the days add up perfectly in your chart or do you use some biblically unsupported method?

Perhaps an explaination of how my chart works is in order.

The Seven Angels spoken of in the Revelation of St. John are men born on the earth simultaneously and all the lengths of days listed in Daniel and Revelation are literal. Some symbolism is being used to describe the nature of the events surrounding them, but all the times listed, the events themselves and those to whom these events are attributed to, are to be taken to mean exactly what they say.

According to The Revelation of St. John, these seven men, or angels as they are referred to, are to go through four complete rotations or cycles of events.

The first cycle is where God simply makes contact with each of them by showing them the Holy Spirit for the first time, in essence introducing Himself. What this means is that the Spirit of God, most commonly known as the Holy Spirit, will descend upon these seven people for a very short time (possibly for only a few minutes at most), thus allowing them to see the nature of God for the first time and meeting Him directly. This is chronicled in Revelation chapters 2 and 3.

The Second Cycle, known as the breaking of the Seals, is where each one of the Seven is endowed for a certain time with a strong dose of the Holy Spirit to do with as they will. It is during this time that each of them will demonstrate the type of people they are as they will be given the ability to use the Holy Spirit in any way they wish in a test run so to speak. However, the gift of this incredible power is only given to them for a limited time and will be taken from them after a certain time period, along the order of a few days to a few weeks. This is chronicled in Revelation chapter 6 and is known as the breaking of the Seals.

After this happens, they will have a space of some time to reflect on their doings according to Rev. 8:1. This is God’s way of making sure that each one is doing things as they choose, so that later, no one can come back and say that they didn’t have enough time to make a proper decision. An example of this is given in Rev. 2:22-23 where God speaks to the 4th Angel of the woman Jezebel who dwells with him saying “And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.” This space of time, being some years in length, is an important part of the overall process to insure that no one is doing anything that they do not absolutely wish to do, because some of the seven people will not be doing the right thing with this gift and God, who is the most just, gives them all enough time to think about their actions, both past and future.

The Third Cycle, which as I have said, happens some years after the first two cycles (I believe this to be about 40 years or so as explained later in this document), is where the power of the Holy Spirit will be given to them for a long period of time, and it is during this cycle of time that the periods listed in Daniel and Revelation will occur. It is during this Third Cycle that the Apocalypse that is prophesied to happen will take place and will be the result of these seven forces colliding and interacting with each other in various ways. This is the most detailed and begins in Revelation chapter 8 with the Trumps of the seven angels.

The Fourth Cycle will occur at the end of this Apocalypse when each of these seven people unleashes one final massive blast of Energy, the result of which is recorded in Revelation. This is chronicled starting in the middle of Revelation chapter 15 and continues until the end, where Christ returns.

I am certain that the first two cycles have already completed themselves and we are nearing the third phase of this event. Because of things I observed personally, I believe that the First Cycle completed itself in early 1971 and the Second Cycle happened three years later at the beginning of 1974. If this is true, then the Seven Angels, who as I have stated are real people, are on the Earth now, know who they are and are preparing themselves for this next wave of action.

Since the space between the Second Cycle and the Third Cycle is somewhat cryptically referred to as “about a half hour in Heaven” (Rev. 8:1) and we are told that 1000 years on Earth is like either a day or a night in Heaven (the reference in Psalms 90:4 explains that the 1000 years is like either a day or a night and is not to be confused with a 24 hour day as commonly thought as a result of the repeating of this saying in 2 Peter 2:8), then, using the formula: 12 hours = 1000 years, a space of around 40 years or so is to be expected, although there is no way to predict exactly how long this period will be.

Now to detail how the chart works:

Take the 70 weeks (490 days) of Dan 9, which is in 3 parts, being 7 weeks, 62 weeks and 1 week per Daniel Ch. 9.

Add the times given us for the 5th, 6th and 7th angels (NOTE: no times are given for the first 4 Angels) in Revelation being:

1. Five (5) months (150 days, using 30 day months which is how the Jews counted all the days of their months) per Rev 9:5 (5th Angel)

2. 1 hr., 1 day, 1 month and 1 year (396 1/4 days) per Rev 9:15 (6th Angel)

3. 1260 days = 3 1/2 times = 42 months (this is all the same time period and is clearly laid out as such in Rev 11:2 & 3, 12:6, 12:14 and 13:5.

4. Lastly we have the 3 and 1/2 days that the Two Prophets lay dead as the people of Earth celebrate. Put these together and you have:

490 days (the 70 Weeks as I have stated)
+150 days (1 above)
+396.25 days (2 above)
+1260 days (3 above)
+3.5 days (4 above)
= 2299.75 days and 1 hour, this is the 2300 days of Daniel’s prophecy in Daniel Ch. 8. (It ends late on the 2300th day)

The Seventy Week period is interspersed between the three Woes of Revelation and each of the three parts of the Seventy Weeks, the seven weeks, the sixty two weeks and the last one week, triggers each of the three woes in succession. I will show how the Book of Daniel supports this later in this document.

To restate the entire sequence in the order it will occur:

1. Seven weeks (49 days)
2. The First Woe, 5 months (150 days)
3. 62 weeks (434 days)
4. The Second Woe, Hour, day, month, year (396 1/4 days)
5. One Week (7 days)
6. The Beast's rule, 42 months (1260 days)
7. Death and Resurrection of Witnesses (3 1/2 days)

Total: 2300 days to the Cleansing of the Temple. Forces of Good and Evil identified and the Beast revealed for what he is. The reason I say identified is because, up to this point, the Beast has been masquerading as the Chosen of God while casting Michael and his friends as being of Satan. It might even be possible that the Beast actually believes himself to be the good guy for he is indeed Gods chosen, but not in the way he believes.

The First Angel’s Trump sounds before the 2300 days, as he wages war on evil, but becomes evil in his pursuit of it. His fall is where the beginning of this 2300 day time period begins, signaled by the Trump of the Second Angel. The rest follow the pattern shown above.

30 days after the killing of the Two Witnesses, the Beast assaults the stronghold of the Holy People for the final time. At this time Jesus' returns to save those left alive, which also brings about the First Resurrection.

35 days after that, New Jerusalem descends to earth and those who survived along with those of the First Resurrection will be tested one last time. Those who pass will be allowed in the inner court of the Temple of God, to stand before the face of God, while those who fail will be in charge of the outer court, serving them and the people of the earth for the next 1000 years under the reign of Jesus Christ. The form of this is outlined in Ezekiel chapters 40 – 48.

In an effort to make this more understandable, I have color coded it into groupings that go together.

The Yellow (the 7 weeks, 62 weeks and 1 week) are all part of the overall 70 week period spoken of by Daniel. The reason it is broken up into 3 sections is because the 3 Woes of Revelation (Green, Purple and Gray) are placed between them as they alternately trigger each other.

Since the death and resurrection of the 2 Witnesses are also separate, I colored this event in Cyan.

The 1260 days of Revelation is related to the 1290-1335 days spoken of at the end of Daniel Ch. 12 so I coded these in Red on the chart to show how they fit together.

The following is a more in-depth explanation of this.

It must be understood that Revelation is made up of four (4) cycles of seven (7) progressions of events concerning these seven people who are referred to as Angels in Revelation.

The first cycle is where God simply introduces Himself to these seven people and is recorded in Revelation Ch. 1-3. After this, in Revelation Ch. 4-5, explanations of events resulting from this first cycle are explained.

The second cycle is where God allows each of the Seven to experience the power of the Holy Ghost for a short period of time and is recorded in Revelation Ch. 6 and ends with Ch. 8:1. This is referred to as the Breaking of the Seals and is where each of these seven people are given the ability to experience and use this power of the Holy Ghost for themselves for an extended bit of time. This is when these Seven begin to understand what is about to transpire both with themselves and the world around them. It is being endowed for a small period of time with this superhuman energy that reveals to them what type of people they really are if given the ability to wield the power of God. God will allow them to do anything they wish with it and some will use it for good while some use it for evil. One will use it for neither.

After this is a break in the action that is referred to as a “silence in Heaven for about the space of half an hour” (Rev. 8:1), which refers to an earthly period of time, probably of some years, since time in Heaven is mentioned two times in the Bible as being much different than on earth. The formula to be used in this matter is found in Psalms 90:4 and 2Peter 3:8. I should mention here that most interpret these passages to mean that a Day is Heaven is equal to a 24 hr. period but I personally suspect that it means that a Day is Heaven is equal either a 12 hour day or a 12 hour night on Earth, meaning that it is more equal to a 12 hour period. If my method is correct, then this signifies a space of about 40 years or so between the occurrence of the 2nd and the 3rd cycles. This uses the concept that if 1000 years equals 12 hours, then ½ hour equals about 42 years or so. Since the Bible makes a point of saying “about a space of half an hour”, we are being told that this time is approximate and not exact, leading me to believe they mean it to be in the area of about 40 years.

The third cycle, the one which actually starts and encompasses the Apocalypse as we understand it is recorded in Revelation starting in Ch. 8:7 and proceeding through Ch. 10. These events are then broken down into greater detail and explained carefully until the end of Revelation Ch. 15. This is where the actual 2300 day period of Daniel Ch. 8 (which includes the 70 Week period of Daniel Ch. 9) occurs as shown in the chart above.

The last cycle is described in Revelation Ch. 16 and speaks of these Seven Angels (people) receiving and pouring vials of plagues upon the earth. Since every cycle up to this point is related to a stronger and stronger filling of the Energy and Power of God in each of these people, this is the final and most powerful occurrence of this phenomenon. The forces released from each one of them will have profound effects on the world. This happens in the 30 days between the end of the 1260 days of Revelation and the end of the 1290 days of Daniel Ch. 12. As I have shown in the chart, the 1260 days spoken of in Revelation and the 1290 days mentioned in Daniel are related and work in the same manor that the 1290 days and the 1335 days do. In other words, the 1260 days happen, then 30 more days bring it to 1290 days, then lastly, another 45 days pass to bring the end of the period at 1335 days. Revelation speaks of the 1260 days because it is at the end of this time that the 2300 days are over, but Daniel speaks of 1290 because it is at the end of this time that the Beast is actually defeated and Christ returns, this signaling the First Resurrection. It is at the 1335th day that New Jerusalem descends to the Earth to finish everything and begin the 1000 year Millennium of the Reign of Christ on Earth.

I have always known that the way the Apocalypse has been presented to me by those who claim to be knowledgeable about it has been wrong. It was nonsensical, complicated to the point of ridiculousness and could not possibly be correct. It did not even fit the Bible properly and in many ways, contradicted important sections of it.

As a result, I have spent much time reading the Bible and trying to figure out the real way it is to transpire. However, it was only when I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost that I understood what I needed to know and began this research in earnest.

Many people speak of the event known as the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, but few understand it, mainly because in these days, it is a rare event and not many actually experience it in its perfection. It is where a great energy (the energy of life itself) suddenly comes upon a person, filling them, and they attain mental enlightenment to the point of actually being able to affect their physical environment around themselves by the shear energy they are experiencing. It is accompanied by an unbelievably euphoric feeling of power and strength which is difficult to explain unless one actually goes through it. In effect, they meet God.

It was this event that made me realize that it was quite possible that the Book of Revelation could be much more literal than most believe. In other words, I came to understand that the Seven Angels spoken of in Revelation were not symbolic entities, but real people that were destined to walk the earth and it was this knowledge that eventually led me to a more accurate interpretation of the future events described within the Bible.

There was another thing that became clear to me as a result of this happening.

We all know that during the Apocalypse one identified as the Beast will emerge, along with his cohort, the False Prophet. However, even though it is clearly stated in Revelation 12, there is someone else that will also appear to fight him. One of the Seven Angels that Revelation speaks of is Michael, an Archangel from God. All the references to the Strong and Mighty angel who appear in Revelation are references to him. Michael was to be born as a man on the earth just as his predecessor Jesus was. Michael is the second angel of Revelation, the Rider of the Red Horse. The background for this is found in the Book of Zechariah (Zec.1:7-13) where the rider of the red horse, who is the second angel in Rev. 6:3-4, is identified as the Angel of the Lord. It is also mentioned there that it is the Angel of the Lord that will lead the final assault against the Beast when Jesus returns (Zec. 12:8).

Here again is another contrast between what the Bible says and what people have been commonly taught to believe. Because the second angel is given a sword and takes peace from the earth, he has been ascribed as being an evil person. However, actually reading the Biblical text shows us that the second angel is only one of two among the seven angels that God approves of. In fact, this would explain why the second angel, along with the people of God are released at the end of the 70 week period of captivity, since the trouble he causes will be just and results in their release.

It was because of this that I finally saw the answer.

The key to unlocking the correct way of interpreting this almost came by accident in the sense that I was pursuing an idea that, during the course of events, I found to be incomplete, but created a path that led me to the truth. Allow me to explain.

I had come to suspect, since time periods were listed so often in the Book of Revelation, that if I added all these days up, it would correspond to the days listed in Daniel. In other words, because I know that a relationship between the Books of Daniel in the Old Testament and Revelation in the New Testament, I decided to find out what I would get if I added all the number of days listed in Revelation together. I initially thought it would give me the 2300 days listed in Daniel Ch. 8. However, after adding them up, I found that I only had 1810 days that I could account for.

I was disappointed at first, but decided to subtract these 1810 days from the overall 2300 days to see what I was missing. In doing so I found that I had exactly 490 days left over.

This number seemed familiar, but at first I could not see what it was. Then it dawned on me that 490 days are the same thing as 70 weeks, which is the number of days that Daniel speaks of in Daniel Ch. 9 concerning the time assigned to the purifying of his people during the future Apocalypse that is to come.

I realized that I had inadvertently found the right combination of numbers that fit the pattern the Bible was speaking of.

In other words, if you take the 70 weeks of Daniel 9, add it to the 1810 days found in the Revelation of St. John, it equals the 2300 days of Daniel 8. After much thinking, I saw how it all fit together and formed the chart shown above.

As to how this sequence of events is to pan out, the explanation lies particularly in the book of Daniel. It is the combination of times listed in both Daniel and Revelation that make understanding of this time sequence possible.

Daniel lists the events most concerning his people and in the future Apocalypse; this will correspond with the Mighty and Holy People of Revelation. This is the Seventy Week period of Daniel 9 which was represented by the Seventy Year period that Daniel himself lived through and was prophesied in Isa. 23:15-17 and in Jer.25:11-12 and 29:10.

Revelation, on the other hand, is more concerned with world events that affect the entire population of men, which is why it documents what happens time-wise beginning with the Trump of the Fifth Angel and not before. This is why Revelation makes no mention of any times concerning the first four Angels of Revelation, because Daniel already covered it and assigned the times for them as is shown above.

The appearance of the Seven Angels of Revelation is not a one time or even a first time event, but a repeat of events that have happened several (perhaps many) times in the past, the most clearly documented being the Book of Daniel itself. The key to this is shown in Ezekiel Ch. 14 where Ezekiel prophesies that during the Apocalypse, Noah, Daniel and Job will all exist in some form together. Since the Bible also says that men are only appointed to live once on the earth, reincarnation on the earth is not likely. Therefore, the meaning behind this is that people that are so much like these old Biblical figures will be alive during the Apocalypse and will interact directly with each other. This an example of this method is used in Zec. 8:12 where it says: “the feeble in that day shall be as David”. There are also many mentions of people standing in the room of a certain person as in taking their place.

The key to this is in the 9th chapter of Daniel where God juxtaposes the 70 year event occurring during Daniels time (the one foretold by Isaiah 23:15-17 and Jeremiah 25:11-12, 29:10) with the future 70 week event of Revelation, thereby indicating the correlation between the two. In other words, God was showing us the pattern of the event to come by fully documenting the previous event so that we might today have understanding of not only how it transpires but the why’s behind it.

The Seven Angels of Revelation are real people just as they were also real people during the time of Daniel. In fact, the Book of Daniel actually documents each one of them in order for our convenient understanding.

The first Chapter of Daniel speaks of the King of Judah, Jehoiakim. He represents the First Angel who falls in Revelation, the rider of the white horse.

The Second Chapter is about Daniel himself, who is representative of the 2nd Angel, the rider of the Red Horse.

The Third Chapter is about Daniels three friends, who collectively fit the pattern of the 3rd Angel, the rider of the Black Horse.

The Fourth Chapter is about Nebuchadnezzar, who represents the 4th Angel, the rider of the Pale Horse.

These first four are the templates of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse that Revelation speaks of.

The Fifth Chapter is about Belshazzar, who represents the 5th Angel.

The Sixth Chapter is about Darius, who represents the 6th Angel.

The Seventh through Ninth Chapter give us an overview of the meaning behind the events that the first six chapters have recorded as well as other significant information that is needed to put this puzzle into correct sequence. This also shows the break between the first six angels and the seventh one. This break is also represented in Ezekiel Ch. 9-10 where it speaks of only six men, not seven, coming from the way of the north and following the one clothed in linen. The man clothed in linen is Michael and the other five are all the other angels except the seventh who are commanded by God to bring judgment upon the world. It is shown in these passages how God will protect his people from the destruction wrought by the forces these people unleash upon the world. It also shows us that the only one who does not follow this pattern, but also destroys the people of God to be the seventh angel who is the Beast.

The Tenth through Twelfth Chapters then speak of Cyrus, who represents the 7th and last Angel, and who becomes the Beast. It is through the 7th Angel (the Beast, who is of the Seven, and is the 8th as per Rev 17:11) that the False Prophet, appears. The Seventh Angel starts out as a Messiah, just as Cyrus, his predecessor did, but transforms into the Beast as some point, being corrupted by Satan.

It is interesting that the Bible actually calls Cyrus “Anointed” in Isaiah 45:1, using the same Hebrew word that Daniel uses in Daniel 9:25&26 (mashiyach), which is interpreted there as “Messiah”. However, the Messiah Daniel refers to is neither Cyrus nor is it Jesus as it is popularly attributed to. It is referring to Michael, who as I have previously mentioned, will appear on the earth as a man to fight Satan through the Beast and those who follow him. He will do this with the help of the friends he makes here, who are referred to as “his (Michael’s) angels” in Revelation 12:7.

By understanding this, we can see the pattern.

The Seven Angels will meet each other on the World Stage. This is indicated by the blowing of the Trumpets of war, which is where they begin to physically take action, starting in the Eighth Chapter of Revelation.

It all starts with the defeat of the 1st Angel by the 4th Angel, at which time the 2nd Angel is captured and is brought into service of the 4th Angel, much as Jehoiakim was defeated by Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel was carried off to Babylon.

It is at this time that the attack on the 3rd Angel begins, much as Job was attacked in the Book of Job. This attack will continue until the return of Christ with the 3rd Angel receiving much damage. This will probably occur to deflect Satan’s gaze away from his real threat which is the 2nd Angel (who is actually Michael) because Satan will believe that the 3rd Angel is the one who will destroy him, which is erroneous. It will follow the pattern shown in the book of Job and explains why God deliberately allowed Satan to spend his force against him so as to divert his attention from another. In the Book of Job, you can see that in the end, another person with a truer knowledge of God appears in Job Ch. 32-37 in the form of Elihu, a young man who had been perfected by God and, though being young, teaches the old men wisdom and reveals to us one of the most beautiful and complete descriptions of God found in the Bible.

It is the pride of the 4th Angel that causes his fall, as symbolized in Daniel Ch. 4 with Nebuchadnezzar’s fall. Our connection here is the 7 times that pass over Nebuchadnezzar which is matched to the first 7 week period of the 70 Weeks. This is where the countdown starts, launching both the beginning of the 70 Weeks and the 2300 Days.

Because of the fall of the 4th Angel, at the end of the 7 weeks, the 5th Angel comes to power, unleashing the 5 months (150 days) of terror on the world. This will come to an end similar to the way Belshazzar fell as shown in the 5th Chapter of Daniel.

At this point, the 6th Angel takes over and the next 62 weeks of the 70 weeks happen. The connection here is the odd mention of Darius being 62 years old at his come to power in Daniel Ch. 6. It is as if God has given us a clue to keep us on track.

At the end of the 62 weeks, things change and the 4 Angels of God are thrown into prison, much as Daniel is thrown into prison in Daniel Ch. 6 during the reign of Darius. At the end of the 396 ¼ days (the Hour, Day, Month and Year mentioned in Revelation 9:15), these 4 Angels will be released and then the last 1 week (7 days) occur in which they will cause such an upheaval that the 7th Angel will finally release them from the captivity that they have had to endure, much as Cyrus released the Jews in Daniel Ch. 10. It is at this time that the Seventh Angel becomes corrupted.

The rule of the 7th Angel will be absolute and last for 42 months (1260 days) after their release. During this time, the False Prophet will rise to power and the world will be trodden down. However, during this time, the People of God (the mighty and holy people mentioned in Revelation) will be in relative safety in the wilderness, possibly because their release from their bondage has resulted in a designated place of safety for them, much as it was the Kings Decree (as shown in the Book of Ezra) that not only gave the Jews a safe place to live, but also the financing to support themselves. In other words, while the rest of the world is suffering under the tyranny of the 7th Angel, the people of God who have already endured the earlier trouble will now be shielded.

It is during this 1260 day period that the Two Witnesses will appear and roam the land doing God’s work. They will be connected with Michael and those in the wilderness and will in some way interact with them. The system that will be in effect during this time is described in detail in Zechariah Ch. 4 where the “two Anointed Ones” (the two Witnesses of God) pour the Golden Oil (which is the Energy the Holy Spirit) into the Golden Candlestick which has a bowl on top of it (Michael) who then dispenses this Oil to the Seven Lamps (the Seven Thunders of Revelation Ch. 10:1-7). They shall create a paradise on Earth during the Apocalypse, while being surrounded by Chaos.

However, at the end of the 1260 days, the Two Witnesses will be killed by the False Prophet, with the blessing of the 7th Angel and they will lie dead for 3 ½ days. The earth rejoices and commends the 7th Angel at first, but at the end of the 3 ½ days, when the Two Witnesses regain their lives and stand, it will suddenly become clear to all who the bad guys really are and the Beast, the Seventh Angel who has become the Eighth, and the False Prophet will no longer be able to deceive themselves and the world as to what they really are.

As a result of this, 30 days after the death of the Two Witnesses (the 1290 days of Daniel 12), the Seventh Angel, who is now revealed as the Beast, will attack the People of God (the Mighty and Holy People per Daniel 8:24) out of anger and desperation. Just as he appears to succeed, Jesus will show up and empower the People of God who are on the verge of being annihilated. At this time the prophecy of Zech. 12:8 will occur and the beaten people will be filled with the Power of God, as a pure unleashing of the Holy Spirit will fill them and, being led by Michael and with Jesus being seen above them (Zech. 9:14), the Beast will be vanquished. At this time the First Resurrection will happen simultaneously with the outflow of the Holy Spirit and those who died in Christ during the preceding 42 months under the reign of the Beast will return to life and fight with those who have survived.

It must be noted that only those who have endured the Tribulation, and possibly died during it, will be a part of this First Resurrection as per Revelation 20:4-5.

It is still not over though.

At the end of yet another 45 days, when New Jerusalem descends to the Earth as the Bride of Christ, one last trial is performed upon those who have part in the First Resurrection. While none of those who have part in the First Resurrection can be harmed by the Second Death that will occur at the end of the 1000 year reign of Christ, those of the First Resurrection will be separated into two groups by an event that will happen at the coming of the Bride (New Jerusalem).

Among them, some will be separated to be the Priests of the Inner Court and will be able to serve God directly, while the others will be relegated to the outside Court to serve as liaison between the Priests of the Inner Court and the general people who will populate the world at that time. It is not clear what this defining event that causes this will be, but the Bible says “Blessed are those who wait till the 1335th day” in Daniel Ch. 12 so it is possible that during this last 45 day period, one final situation must happen that separates these two groups. This is the meaning of Daniel 12:2 where it says that “Many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame [and] everlasting contempt”.

So it shall it end and the time of Christ’s 1000 Year reign shall begin.

One last thing to mention here is the appearance of Michael, who will be one of the Seven Angels who are all born as men on the earth. Michael will be the Second Angel and will follow the pattern of Daniel. This is why Daniel was so important in this chain of events. It was he who was laying out the future path that Michael (his Prince, as stated in Daniel 10:21) would follow.

There is much evidence to support this, such as in Ezekiel 9:2-3 & 11, where the one who is clothed in linen and has the “writers inkhorn by his side” is singled out by God for a special purpose, ie: to go before the others and mark all those who are to be saved from the wrath of those Angels who were commanded by God to follow behind him and destroy all the wicked that are unmarked by him. Michael will also record the events that happen to him during the Apocalypse for those in the future to read just as Daniel did during his event. Also the odd passage in Revelation 2:10 concerning being given ‘tribulation’ for 10 days is a match to Daniel 1 where Daniel and his friends are tried for 10 days. This also makes sense of Daniel’s comment in Daniel 2:30 which reads:

But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for [any] wisdom that I have more than any living, but for [their] sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart. (KJV)

Some interpret this to be Daniel referring to himself and his friends who are with him at this event, but I have always felt it was Daniel signifying that he knew that what he was doing would be used as an instruction for those who would be repeating this event in the future.

There is much more anecdotal evidence that fits this and explains who the Mighty and Strong Angel of Revelation is. This person is Michael and he is following the pattern of his predecessor Daniel, who had already lived out and recorded an accurate record of events for him to gain knowledge from.

Terry is right in one respect. The descent of New Jerusalem happens AFTER the 1000 Years of Christs reign, not before it. I apologize for that.

At the end of the 1335 days, an event similar to the one described in Ezekiel 44:10-31 occurs. Since this event describes a seperation of those believers who fall during the Tribulation and those who stay true to God, it is the fulfillment of the prophecy of Daniel 12 which states:


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.

Dan 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

Here is the revised chart fixing that error:



As for the rest of that scripture you posted, it has no bearing on what I am showing you. I am sorry you cling to the failed Day for Year theory that has decimated modern End Time Theology.

God in NO PART of the bible has EVER told us to apply this to Daniel and I have shown using the above chart that the days of Daniel and Revelation mean EXACTLY what they say. It adds up perfectly and I dont have to try to force any scripture into an unfounded interpretaion as you try to do above in your post.

I do not have to change anything in the Bible to fit what I am showing you here. I do not have to take Gods Word and change it to mean ANYTHING other than what it says as you have tried to do. Days mean days and years mean years, months mean months and so on. The above chart proves this.

As far as all the days of Daniel 9 combined with the days listed in Revelation adding up to EXACTLY 2300 days, which happens to be exactly what Daniel predicts in Daniel 8, you have not shown anything to cause me to see any error.

Again though, I will thank you for showing that misstep at the very end (which I have fixed) and if you can see any others, please inform me, because it is for that reason I posted this in the first place. I figured if I was missing something, someone here would see it as you did. I will make any proper changes if anyone can show something that does not add up in my chart.

I thank you all for your patience.

Terry, thank you for pointing out that it was Retrobyter that made that post and not you.

I hope you are able to figure out how to post your chart as I would like to see it. I used the print screen option and cut and pasted mine from Word to Paint (you must use ctr + v to do this), then saved as a JPG format. I then posted it on my Facebook page using the Upload Photo button to turn it into an HTML format and was then able to copy it to this forum. Quite a process. I hope you can figure out an easier one.

I must point out that a careful reading of Daniel 8 states that the 2300 days is related to Daniels vision of the Ram being attacked by the He-Goat:

Dan 8:13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain [saint] which spake, How long [shall be] the vision [concerning] the daily [sacrifice], and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

Dan 8:14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed

As you can see, this passage only says that the 2300 days is the time that the sanctuary and people of God are put through trouble. Whether or not this is tied directly to the restart of the Daily Sacrifice is not stated, but is only CONCERNING the Daily Sacrifice. It may be true as you say, but this does not invalidate my chart in any way.

The 2 Witnesses travel the land for the 1260 days, also known as the 3 1/2 times and 42 months. In Revelation chapters 11, 12 and 13, God makes an extreme point to show us that these 3 times are all the same time period. He does this to make sure we understand that this time period is to be taken literally. After all, the only way the 1260 days can be also 3 1/2 times as well as 42 months is that this is a literal time period. Why others have not noticed this is a mystery to me since it is so clear in the Bible.

It is their resurrection, not their death that is the Cleansing of the Temple and the end of the 2300 day period. This resurrection occurs 3 1/2 days after the 1260 day/3 1/2 time/42 month (they are all the same) period.

I must point out that my goal, once I realised that the days and times listed in both Daniel and Revelation are literal, was to see how they fit together. As I have pointed out earlier, you must take ALL the days listed in Revelation and add them to the literal 70 weeks of Daniel. It is too much of a coincidence that doing this adds up to EXACTLY 2300 days. Once I saw that, all that was left was figuring out how it all went together (not an easy feat considering all the false preprogramming that has been drilled into all of us since the beginning).

You see, instead of starting out with speculation based on some conversion theory as to how this works, as all have done before me, I started out with a single simple fact, that fact being that the 70 weeks of Daniel added to ALL the days listed in Revelation equal exactly 2300 days. No one has any explaination as to how this can be if the days that God Himself gives us in the Bible are not literal. The only reason people have changed this fact is that taking the Bible at face value does not fit into their preferred philosophy. If that is not the work of the devil, I dont know what is.

After all, if you cant stop them, just msdirect them has always been Satans favorite tool.

I realized one more thing that should be added to my chart and that is that the 7 men, (the 7 angels of Revelation) will unleash the 7 vials, which are vast amounts of energy that pour from them, upon the Earth between the time of the Resurrection of the 2 Witnesses and the final battle with the Beast. In fact, it is probably these actions that prompt the Beast to make the final Seige of Jerusalem which ends with his destruction.

A Chart of the End Time Events with Explaination
By Mell Leonard 03/10/2013



Introduction

This document has one primary goal. After much reading and research I have come to the conclusion that much of what we are taught about the writings within the Bible concerning the Apocalypse isn’t correct. I have known for some time that while we were being taught as truth was not necessarily so, however, determining the truth was a somewhat daunting task.

As a young man in my early 20s a series of events occurred to me that has allowed me a bit of an insight into what some of these prophecies mean. As I progress through this document I will reveal some of that, however I do not believe that the events that occurred to me are as important as the information that I was able to decipher as a result of them. Therefore I shall now attempt to put in writing my beliefs based on a combination of my experiences and what I've discovered in the Bible.

The Seven Angels of the Apocalypse are Men

The Seven Angels spoken of in the Revelation of St. John are men born on the earth simultaneously and all the lengths of days listed in Daniel and Revelation are literal. Some symbolism is being used to describe the nature of the events surrounding them, but all the times listed, the events themselves and those to whom these events are attributed to, are to be taken to mean exactly what they say. Because of this I was able to create the chart that I will show in this document that shows the progression of these events.

According to The Revelation of St. John, these seven men, or angels as they are referred to, are to go through four complete rotations or cycles of events.

Overview of the 4 Cycles of the Apocalypse

The first cycle is where God simply makes contact with each of them by showing them the Holy Spirit for the first time, in essence introducing Himself. What this means is that the Spirit of God, most commonly known as the Holy Spirit, will descend upon these seven people for a very short time (possibly for only a few minutes at most), thus allowing them to see the nature of God for the first time and meeting Him directly. This is chronicled in Rev Chapters 2 and 3

The Second Cycle, known as the breaking of the Seals, is where each one of the Seven is endowed for a certain time with a strong dose of the Holy Spirit to do with as they will. It is during this time that each of them will demonstrate the type of people they are as they will be given the ability to use the Holy Spirit in any way they wish in a test run so to speak. However, the gift of this incredible power is only given to them for a limited time and will be taken from them after a certain time period, along the order of a few days to a few weeks. This is chronicled in Revelation chapter 6.

After this happens, they will have a space of some time to reflect on their doings according to Rev. 8:1. This is God’s way of making sure that each one is doing things as they choose, so that later, no one can come back and say that they didn’t have enough time to make a proper decision. An example of this is given in Rev. 2:21-23 where God speaks to the 4th Angel of the woman Jezebel who dwells with him saying:

Rev. 2:21 “And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.”

This space of time, being some years in length, is an important part of the overall process to insure that no one is doing anything that they do not absolutely wish to do, because some of the seven people will not be doing the right thing with this gift and God, who is the most just, makes sure that they all have enough time to think about their actions, both past and future.

The Third Cycle, which as I have said, happens some years after the first two cycles (I believe this to be about 40 years or so as explained later in this document), is where the power of the Holy Spirit will be given to them for a long period of time, and it is during this cycle of time that the periods listed in Daniel and Revelation will occur. It is during this Third Cycle that the Apocalypse that is prophesied to happen will take place and will be the result of these seven forces colliding and interacting with each other in various ways. This is the most detailed and begins in Revelation chapter 8 with the Trumps of the seven angels.

The Fourth Cycle will occur at the end of this Apocalypse when each of these seven people unleashes one final massive blast of Energy, the result of which is recorded in Revelation. This is chronicled starting in the middle of Revelation chapter 15 and continues until the end, where Christ returns.

I am certain that the first two cycles have already completed themselves and we are nearing the third phase of this event. Because of things I observed personally, I believe that the First Cycle completed itself in early 1971 and the Second Cycle happened three years later at the beginning of 1974. If this is true, then the Seven Angels, who as I have stated are real people, are on the Earth now, know who they are and are preparing themselves for this next wave of action.

Since the space between the Second Cycle and the Third Cycle is somewhat cryptically referred to as “about a half hour in Heaven” (Rev. 8:1) and we are told that 1000 years on Earth is like either a day or a night in Heaven (the reference in Psalms 90:4 explains that the 1000 years is like either a day or a night and is not to be confused with a 24 hour day as commonly thought as a result of the repeating of this saying in 2 Peter 3:8), then, using the formula: 12 hours = 1000 years, a space of around 40 years or so is to be expected, although there is no way to predict exactly how long this period will be because of the use of the word ‘about’ in this passage. I explain this in a bit more detail later in this document as well.

The Chart and How it Fits Together

I will now demonstrate in a simple chart how it will work:



Take the 70 weeks (490 days) of Dan 9, which is in 3 parts, being 7 weeks, 62 weeks and 1 week.
Add the times given us for the 5th, 6th and 7th angels (NOTE: no times are given for the first 4 Angels) in Revelation being:
1. Five (5) months (150 days, using 30 day months which is how the Jews counted all the days of their months) per Rev 9:5 (5th Angel).
2. 1 hr., 1 day, 1 month and 1 year (396 1/4 days plus 1 hour) per Rev 9:15 (6th Angel).
3. 1260 days = 3 1/2 times = 42 months (this is all the same time period and is clearly laid out as such in Rev 11:2 & 3, 12:6, 12:14 and 13:5.
4. Lastly we have the 3 and 1/2 days that the Two Prophets lay dead as the people of Earth celebrate. Put these together and you have:

490 days (the 70 Weeks as I have stated)
+150 days (1 above)
+396.25 days (2 above)
+1260 days (3 above)
+3.5 days (4 above)
= 2299.75 days and 1 hour, this is the 2300 days of Daniel’s prophecy in Daniel Ch. 8. (It ends late on the 2300th day)

The Seventy Week period is interspersed between the three Woes of Revelation and each of the three parts of the Seventy Weeks, the seven weeks, the sixty two weeks and the last one week, triggers each of the three woes in succession. I will show how the Book of Daniel supports this later in this document.

To restate the entire sequence in the order it will occur:

1. Seven weeks (49 days)
2. The First Woe, 5 months (150 days)
3. 62 weeks (434 days)
4. The Second Woe, Hour, day, month, year (396 1/4 days)
5. One Week (7 days)
6. The Beast's rule, 42 months (1260 days)
7. Death and Resurrection of Witnesses (3 1/2 days)

Total: 2300 days to the Cleansing of the Temple, being the resurrection of the Two Witnesses, Forces of Good and Evil identified and the Beast revealed for what he is. The reason I say identified is because, up to this point, the Beast has been masquerading as the Chosen of God while casting Michael and his friends as being of Satan. It might even be possible that the Beast actually believes himself to be the good guy for he is indeed Gods chosen, but not in the way he believes.

The First Angel’s Trump sounds before the 2300 days, as he wages war on evil, but becomes evil in his pursuit of it. His fall is where the beginning of this 2300 day time period begins, signaled by the Trump of the Second Angel. As we know, the Trump of the Second Angel causes a ‘Mountain burning with fire’ to be cast into the Sea. This mountain is the kingdom of the First Angel. The rest follow the pattern shown above.

30 days after the killing of the Two Witnesses, the Beast assaults the stronghold of the Holy People for the final time. At this time Jesus' returns to save those left alive, which also brings about the First Resurrection.

35 days after that, those who survived along with those of the First Resurrection will be tested one last time. Those who pass will be allowed in the inner court of the Temple of God, to stand before the face of God, while those who fail will be in charge of the outer court, serving them and the people of the earth for the next 1000 years under the reign of Jesus Christ. The form of this is outlined in Ezekiel 40:46, 43:19, 44:15 and 48:11 (a reading of the entire section of Ezekiel from chapter 40 – 48 is recommended) and will be the fulfillment of the prophecy in Daniel 12:2.

In an effort to make this more understandable, I have color coded it into groupings that go together.

The Yellow (the 7 weeks, 62 weeks and 1 week) are all part of the overall 70 week period spoken of by Daniel. The reason it is broken up into 3 sections is because the 3 Woes of Revelation (Gray) are placed between them as the separate periods of the 70 weeks and the 3 Woes alternately trigger each other.

Since the death and resurrection of the 2 Witnesses are also separate, I colored this event in Cyan.

The 1260 days of Revelation is related to the 1290-1335 days spoken of at the end of Daniel Ch. 12 so I coded these in Green on the chart to show how they fit together.

Review of the Four Cycles of the Seven Angels

Although I have already explained this, because of its importance, I am going go over the 4 cycles of events listed Revelation one more time from a slightly different angle to make sure that what I am saying here is clearly understood.
Revelation is made up of four (4) cycles of seven (7) progressions of events concerning these seven people who are referred to as Angels in Revelation.

The first cycle is where God simply introduces Himself to these seven people and is recorded in Revelation Ch. 1-3. After this, in Revelation Ch. 4-5, explanations of events resulting from this first cycle are explained.

The second cycle is where God allows each of the Seven to experience the power of the Holy Ghost for a short period of time and is recorded in Revelation Ch. 6 and ends with Ch. 8:1. This is referred to as the Breaking of the Seals and is where each of these seven people are given the ability to experience and use this power of the Holy Ghost for themselves for an extended bit of time. This is when these Seven begin to understand what is about to transpire both with themselves and the world around them. This consists of being endowed for a small period of time with a superhuman energy that reveals to them what type of people they really are if given the ability to wield the power of God. God will allow them to do anything they wish with it and some will use it for good while some use it for evil. One will use it for neither.

After this is a break in the action that is referred to as a “silence in Heaven for about the space of half an hour” (Rev. 8:1), which refers to an earthly period of time, probably of some years, since the relation of time in Heaven is mentioned in two places in the Bible as being much different than on earth. The formula to be used in this matter is found in Psalms 90:4 and 2Peter 3:8. I should mention here that most interpret these passages to mean that a Day is Heaven is equal to a 24 hr. period but I personally suspect that it means that a Day is Heaven is equal either a 12 hour day or a 12 hour night on Earth, meaning that it is more equal to a 12 hour period. If my method is correct, then this signifies a space of about 40 years or so between the occurrence of the 2nd and the 3rd cycles. This uses the concept that if 1000 years equals 12 hours, then a ½ hour equals about 42 years or so. Since the Bible makes a point of saying “about a space of half an hour”, we are being told that this time is approximate and not exact, leading me to believe they mean it to be in the area of about 40 years.

The third cycle, the one which actually starts and encompasses the Apocalypse as we understand it is recorded in Revelation starting in Ch. 8:7 and proceeding through Ch. 10. These events are then broken down into greater detail and explained carefully until the end of Revelation Ch. 15. This is where the actual 2300 day period of Daniel Ch. 8 (which includes the 70 Week period of Daniel Ch. 9) occurs as shown in the chart above.

The last cycle is described in Revelation Ch. 16 and speaks of these Seven Angels (people) receiving and pouring vials of plagues upon the earth. Since every cycle up to this point is related to a stronger and stronger filling of the Energy and Power of God in each of these people, this is the final and most powerful occurrence of this phenomenon. The forces released from each one of them will have profound effects on the world. This happens in the 30 days between the end of the 1260 days of Revelation and the end of the 1290 days of Daniel Ch. 12, most likely starting after the resurrection of the Two Witnesses. As I have shown in the chart, the 1260 days spoken of in Revelation and the 1290 days mentioned in Daniel are related and work in the same manor that the 1290 days and the 1335 days do. In other words, the 1260 days happen, then 30 more days bring it to 1290 days, and then lastly, another 45 days pass to bring the end of the period at the 1335 day mark. Revelation speaks of the 1260 days because it is at the end of this time that the 2 Witnesses are killed, but Daniel speaks of 1290 because it is at the end of this time that the Beast is actually defeated and Christ returns, this signaling the First Resurrection. It is at the 1335th day that the 1000 year Millennium of the Reign of Christ begins on Earth.

How I Arrived At This Idea

I have always known that the way the Apocalypse has been presented to me by those who claim to be knowledgeable about it has been wrong. It was nonsensical, complicated to the point of ridiculousness and could not possibly be correct. It did not even fit the Bible properly and in many ways, contradicted important sections of it.

As a result, I have spent much time reading the Bible and trying to figure out the real way it is to transpire. However, it was only when I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost that I understood what I needed to know and began this research in earnest.
Many people speak of the event known as the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, but few understand it, mainly because in these days, it is a rare event and not many actually experience it in its perfection. It is where a great energy (the energy of life itself) suddenly comes upon a person, filling them, and they attain mental enlightenment to the point of actually being able to affect the physical environment around them by the shear energy they are experiencing. It is accompanied by an unbelievably euphoric feeling of power and strength which is difficult to explain s unless one actually goes through it. In effect, they meet God and if they are very lucky, God may even communicate directly with them.

It was this event that made me realize that it was quite possible that the Book of Revelation could be much more literal than most believe. In other words, I came to understand that the Seven Angels spoken of in Revelation were not symbolic entities, but real people that were destined to walk the earth and it was this knowledge that eventually led me to a more accurate interpretation of the future events described within the Bible.

There was another thing that became clear to me as a result of this happening.

We all know that during the Apocalypse one identified as the Beast will emerge, along with his cohort, the False Prophet. However, even though it is clearly stated in Revelation 12, there is someone else that will also appear to fight him. One of the Seven Angels that Revelation speaks of is Michael, an Archangel from God. All the references to the Strong and Mighty angel who appear in Revelation are references to him. Michael is to be born as a man on the earth just as his predecessor Jesus was. Michael is the second angel of Revelation, the Rider of the Red Horse. The background for this is found in the Book of Zechariah (Zec.1:7-13) where the rider of the red horse, who is the second angel in Rev. 6:3-4, is identified as the Angel of the Lord. It is also mentioned there that it is the Angel of the Lord that will lead the final assault against the Beast when Jesus returns (Zec. 12:8).

Here again is another contrast between what the Bible says and what people have been commonly taught to believe. Because the second angel is given a sword and takes peace from the earth, he has been ascribed as being an evil person. However, actually reading the Biblical text shows us that the second angel is only one of two among the seven angels that God approves of. In fact, this would explain why the second angel, along with the people of God, are released at the end of the 70 week period of captivity, since the trouble he causes will be just and results in their release.

It was because of this that I finally saw the answer.

The key to unlocking the correct way of interpreting this almost came by accident in the sense that I was pursuing an idea that, during the course of events, I found to be incomplete, but created a path that led me to the truth. Allow me to explain.

I had come to suspect, since time periods were listed so often in the Book of Revelation, that if I added all these days up, it would correspond to the days listed in Daniel. In other words, because I knew that a relationship exists between the Books of Daniel in the Old Testament and Revelation in the New Testament, I decided to find out what I would get if I added all the number of days listed in Revelation up together. I initially thought it would give me the 2300 days listed in Daniel Ch. 8. However, after adding them up, I found that I only had 1810 days that I could account for.

I was disappointed at first, but decided to subtract these 1810 days from the overall 2300 days to see what I was missing. In doing so I found that I had exactly 490 days left over.

This number seemed familiar, but at first I could not see what it was. Then it dawned on me that 490 days are the same thing as 70 weeks, which is the number of days that Daniel speaks of in Daniel Ch. 9 concerning the time assigned to the purifying of his people during the future Apocalypse that is to come.

I realized that I had inadvertently found the right combination of numbers that fit the pattern the Bible was speaking of.
In other words, if you take the 70 weeks of Daniel 9, add it to the 1810 days found in the Revelation of St. John, it equals the 2300 days of Daniel 8. After much thinking, I saw how it all fit together and formed the chart shown above.

As to how this sequence of events is to pan out, the explanation lies particularly in the book of Daniel. It is the combination of times listed in both Daniel and Revelation that make understanding of this time sequence possible.

Daniel lists the events most concerning his people both in his current time and in the future Apocalypse to come, who will correspond with the Mighty and Holy People of Revelation. This is the Seventy Week period of Daniel 9 which was represented by the Seventy Year period that Daniel himself lived through and was prophesied in Isa. 23:15-17 and in Jer.25:11-12 and 29:10.
Revelation, on the other hand, is more concerned with world events that affect the entire population of men, which is why it documents what happens time-wise beginning with the Trump of the Fifth Angel and not before. This is why Revelation makes no mention of any times concerning the first four Angels of Revelation, because Daniel already covered it and assigned the times for them as is shown above.

Apocalypse a Reoccurring Event and How Daniel Recorded It’s Rotation During His Time

The appearance of the Seven Angels of Revelation is not a first time or even a one-time event, but a repeat of events that have happened several (perhaps many) times in the past, the most clearly documented being in the Book of Daniel itself. The key to this is shown in Ezekiel Ch. 14 where Ezekiel prophesies that during the Apocalypse, Noah, Daniel and Job will all exist in some form together. Since the Bible also says that men are only appointed to live once on the earth, reincarnation on the earth is not likely.

Therefore, the meaning behind this is that people that are so much like these old Biblical figures that they will be called by their names will exist during the Apocalypse and will interact directly with each other. An example of this method of using the name of a well understood person to describe another is used in Zec. 8:12 where it says: “the feeble in that day shall be as David”. There are also many mentions of people standing in the room of a certain person as in taking their place. This scripture in Ezekiel 14 also indicates that the apocalyptic cycle most likely occurred during the times of Noah and Job as well as during Daniels time.

The key to this is in the 9th chapter of Daniel where God juxtaposes the 70 year event occurring during Daniels time (the one foretold by Isaiah 23:15-17 and Jeremiah 25:11-12, 29:10) with the future 70 week event of Revelation, thereby indicating the correlation between the two. In other words, God was showing us the pattern of the event to come by fully documenting the previous event so that we might today have understanding of not only how it transpires but the why’s behind it.

The Seven Angels of Revelation are real people just as they were also real people during the time of Daniel. In fact, the Book of Daniel actually documents each one of them in order for our convenient understanding.

The first Chapter of Daniel speaks of the King of Judah, Jehoiakim. He represents the First Angel who falls in Revelation, the rider of the white horse.

The Second Chapter is about Daniel himself, who is representative of the 2nd Angel, the rider of the Red Horse.

The Third Chapter is about Daniels three friends, who collectively fit the pattern of the 3rd Angel, the rider of the Black Horse.

The Fourth Chapter is about Nebuchadnezzar, who represents the 4th Angel, the rider of the Pale Horse.

These first four are the templates of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse that Revelation speaks of.

The Fifth Chapter is about King Belshazzar, who represents the 5th Angel.

The Sixth Chapter is about King Darius, who represents the 6th Angel.

The Seventh through Ninth Chapter give us an overview of the meaning behind the events that the first six chapters have recorded as well as other significant information that is needed to put this puzzle into correct sequence. This also shows the break between the first six angels and the seventh one. This break is also represented in Ezekiel Ch. 9-10 where it speaks of only six men, not seven, coming from the way of the north and following the one clothed in linen. The man clothed in linen is Michael and the other five are all the other angels (except the seventh) who are commanded by God to bring judgment upon the world. It is shown in these passages how God will protect his people from the destruction wrought by the forces these people unleash upon the world. It also shows us that the only one that does not follow this pattern, but destroys the people of God, to be the seventh angel who is the Beast.

The Tenth through Twelfth Chapters then speak of Cyrus, who represents the 7th and last Angel, and who becomes the Beast. It is through the 7th Angel (the Beast, who is of the Seven, and is the 8th as per Rev 17:11) that the False Prophet, appears. The Seventh Angel starts out as a Messiah, just as Cyrus, his predecessor did, but transforms into the Beast at some point, being corrupted by Satan.

It is interesting that the Bible actually calls Cyrus “Anointed” in Isaiah 45:1, using the same Hebrew word that Daniel uses in Daniel 9:25 & 26 (mashiyach), which is interpreted in the book of Daniel as “Messiah”. However, the Messiah Daniel refers to is neither Cyrus nor is it Jesus as it is popularly attributed to. It is referring to Michael, who as I have previously mentioned, will appear on the earth as a man to fight Satan through the Beast and those who follow him. He will do this with the help of the friends he makes here, who are referred to as “his (Michael’s) angels” in Revelation 12:7.

The Final Apocalyptic Rotation

By understanding this, we can see the pattern.

The Seven Angels will meet each other on the World Stage. This is indicated by the blowing of the Trumpets of war by each of them in sequence, which is where they begin to physically take action, starting in the Eighth Chapter of Revelation.

It all starts with the defeat of the 1st Angel by the 4th Angel, at which time the 2nd Angel is captured and is brought into service of the 4th Angel, much as Jehoiakim was defeated by Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel was carried off to Babylon in Daniel 1.

It is at this time that the attack on the 3rd Angel begins, much as Job was attacked in the Book of Job. This attack will continue until the return of Christ with the 3rd Angel receiving much damage. This will probably occur to deflect Satan’s gaze away from his real threat which is the 2nd Angel (who is actually Michael) because Satan will believe that the 3rd Angel is the one who will destroy him, which is erroneous. It will follow the pattern shown in the book of Job and explains why God deliberately allowed Satan to spend his force against him so as to divert his attention from another. In the Book of Job, you can see that in the end, another person with a truer knowledge of God appears in Job Ch. 32-37 in the form of Elihu, a young man who had been perfected by God and, though being young, teaches the old men wisdom and reveals to us one of the most beautiful and complete descriptions of God found in the Bible.

It is the pride of the 4th Angel that causes his fall, as symbolized in Daniel Ch. 4 with Nebuchadnezzar’s fall. Our connection here is the 7 times that pass over Nebuchadnezzar which is matched to the first 7 week period of the 70 Weeks.

Because of the fall of the 4th Angel, at the end of the 7 weeks, the 5th Angel comes to power, unleashing the 5 months (150 days) of terror on the world. This will come to an end similar to the way Belshazzar fell as shown in the 5th Chapter of Daniel.

At this point, the 6th Angel takes over and the next 62 weeks of the 70 weeks happen. The connection here is the odd mention of Darius being 62 years old at his come to power in Daniel Ch. 6. It is as if God has given us a clue to keep us on track.

At the end of the 62 weeks, things change and 4 Angels of God, one of which is Michael, are thrown into prison, much as Daniel is thrown into the Lion’s Den in Daniel Ch. 6 during the reign of Darius. At the end of the 396 ¼ days and 1 hour (the Hour, Day, Month and Year mentioned in Revelation 9:15), these 4 Angels will be released and then the last 1 week (7 days) occur in which they will cause such an upheaval that the 7th Angel will finally release them from the captivity that they have had to endure, much as Cyrus released the Jews in Daniel Ch. 10. It is at this time that the Seventh Angel becomes corrupted.

The rule of the 7th Angel will be absolute and last for 42 months (1260 days) after their release. During this time, the False Prophet will rise to power and the world will be trodden down. However, during this time, the People of God (the mighty and holy people mentioned in Revelation) will be in relative safety in the wilderness, possibly because their release from their bondage has resulted in a designated place of safety for them, much as it was the Kings Decree (as shown in the Book of Ezra) that not only gave the Jews a safe place to live, but also the financing to support themselves. In other words, while the rest of the world is suffering under the tyranny of the 7th Angel, the people of God who have already endured the earlier trouble will now be shielded.

It is during this 1260 day period that the Two Witnesses will appear and roam the land doing God’s work. They will be connected with Michael and those in the wilderness and will in some way interact with them. The system that will be in effect during this time is described in detail in Zechariah Ch. 4 where the “two Anointed Ones” (the two Witnesses of God) pour the Golden Oil (which is the Energy the Holy Spirit) into the Golden Candlestick which has a bowl on top of it (Michael) who then dispenses this Oil to the Seven Lamps (the Seven Thunders of Revelation Ch. 10:1-7). They shall create a paradise on Earth during the Apocalypse, while being surrounded by Chaos.

However, at the end of the 1260 days, the Two Witnesses will be killed by the False Prophet, with the blessing of the 7th Angel and they will lie dead for 3 ½ days. The earth rejoices and commends the 7th Angel at first, but at the end of the 3 ½ days, when the Two Witnesses regain their lives and stand, it will suddenly become clear to all who the bad guys really are and the Beast, the Seventh Angel who has become the Eighth, and the False Prophet will no longer be able to deceive themselves and the world as to what they really are.

As a result of this, 30 days after the death of the Two Witnesses (the 1290 days of Daniel 12), the Seventh Angel, who is now revealed as the Beast, will attack the People of God (the Mighty and Holy People per Daniel 8:24) out of anger and desperation.

Just as he appears to succeed, Jesus will show up and empower the People of God who are on the verge of being annihilated. At this time the prophecy of Zech. 12:8 will occur and the beaten people will be filled with the Power of God, as a pure unleashing of the Holy Spirit will fill them and, being led by Michael (Zech 12:8) and with Jesus being seen above them (Zech. 9:14), the Beast will be vanquished. At this time the First Resurrection will happen simultaneously with the outflow of the Holy Spirit and those who died in Christ during the preceding 42 months under the reign of the Beast will return to life and fight with those who have survived.

It must be noted that those who have endured the Tribulation, and possibly died during it, will be a part of this First Resurrection as per Revelation 20:4-5. I believe that in actuality, those who died during this time, along with the others still alive will be the ONLY ones resurrected, this is why thinking that the event commonly referred to as the Rapture, where the true Christians are whisked away into the sky, is a dangerous way of thinking, since those who buy into this will be deceived into believing that they will not endure this event. Only those who go through this will receive the refining necessary to allow God to permit them into the Kingdom of Christ that will endure for the next 1000 years.

It is still not over though.

At the end of yet another 45 days, one last trial is performed upon those who have part in the First Resurrection. While none of those who have part in the First Resurrection can be harmed by the Second Death that will occur at the end of the 1000 year reign of Christ, those of the First Resurrection will be separated into two groups by an unspecified event that will happen at that time.

Among them, some will be separated to be the Priests of the Inner Court and will be able to serve God directly, while the others will be relegated to the outside Court to serve as liaison between the Priests of the Inner Court and the general people who will populate the world at that time. It is not clear what this defining event that causes this will be, but the Bible says “Blessed are those who wait till the 1335th day” in Daniel Ch. 12 so it is possible that during this last 45 day period, one final situation must happen that separates these two groups. This is the meaning of Daniel 12:2 where it says that “Many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame [and] everlasting contempt”.

So it shall it end and the time of Christ’s 1000 Year reign shall begin.

Michael the Archangel

One last thing to mention here is the appearance of Michael, who will be one of the Seven Angels and will be born as a man on the earth. Michael will be the Second Angel and will follow the pattern of Daniel. This is why Daniel was so important in this chain of events. It was he who was laying out the future path that Michael (his Prince, as stated in Daniel 10:21) would follow.

There is much evidence to support this, such as in Ezekiel 9:2-3 & 11, where the one who is clothed in linen and has the “writers inkhorn by his side” is singled out by God for a special purpose, ie: to go before the others and mark all those who are to be saved from the wrath of those Angels who were commanded by God to follow behind him and destroy all the wicked that are unmarked by him. Michael will also record the events that happen to him during the Apocalypse for those in the future to read just as Daniel did during his event. Also the odd passage in Revelation 2:10 in relation to the 2nd Angel being given ‘tribulation’ for 10 days is a match to Daniel 1 where Daniel and his friends are tried for 10 days. This also makes sense of Daniel’s comment in Daniel 2:30 which reads:

But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for [any] wisdom that I have more than any living, but for [their] sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart. (KJV)

Some interpret this to be Daniel referring to himself and his friends who are with him at this event, but I have always felt it was Daniel signifying that he knew that what he was doing would be used as an instruction for those who would be repeating this event in the future.

There is much more anecdotal evidence that fits this and explains who the Mighty and Strong Angel of Revelation is. This person is Michael and he is following the pattern of his predecessor Daniel, who had already lived out and recorded an accurate record of events for him to gain knowledge from.
