Some numbers in the Bible are symbolic. 6x7=42 - human cannot be multiplied by God.

Kil'ayim (or Klayim; Hebrew: כלאים, lit. "mixture," or "diverse kinds") are the prohibitions in Jewish law which proscribe the planting of certain mixtures of seeds, grafting, the mixing of plants in vineyards, the crossbreeding of animals, the formation of a team in which different kinds of animals work together, and the mixing of wool with linen in garments.

Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled. (Deuteronomy 22:9)

Do not mix the Gospel with political issues, God's with the worldly in the Church.

Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together. (Deuteronomy 22:10)

Do not assign a believer and an unbeliever (clean and unclean) to work together.

Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together. (Deuteronomy 22:11)

Do not try to present the same action of yours as righteousness and as sin. Do not ask forgiveness for what you did if you did it out of zeal for the Lord.

42 months of the beast is a conditional number. As conditional as the 42 children from Bethel, torn to pieces by she-bears according to the word of the prophet Elisha. As conditional as the 42 thousand Ephraimites, slaughtered while crossing the Jordan in the book of Judges.

An example of illegal mixing in modern Christianity. They suggest simply googling to find the word of God for your case. That is, to apply the word of God mechanically, not as an answer from the living God, but at the whim of your own soul. This is lawlessness, and such an approach to the word of God will not go unpunished: 42 months of the "beast", when all the pagans will pray for this world.

The disciples of Jesus Christ seek the Kingdom of God. A pagan is one who seeks what to eat, what to drink and what to wear.

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

(Matthew 6:31,32)

The 42 children from Bethel, where the golden calf stood, mocked God's prophet, from whose mouth came the words of God.

42 thousand Ephraimites (the image of Christians) went against the judge Jephthah, whose war brought victory to the Jews. Sibboleth/Shibboleth = Jesus/Yeshua. Christians who oppose the Jews will perish.

The beast from the sea has been around since ancient times, since the time of the Sumerians. The 42 months of the beast are a conditional period of judgment over this world, where the masses of pagans who have turned to God will remain the same pagans and will try to "lead God by the beard" where they themselves want: to Prosperity, to the creation of a perfect system for distributing goods in this world. They will be very surprised when it turns out that this system of theirs will turn against them so that the kingdom of the beast will seem gloomy to them and they will bite their tongues from suffering in their material paradise.

The beast from the sea itself from Revelation 13 is also a special case of Kil'ayim.

The prohibition vis-à-vis animals pertains to their cross-breeding, as well as to the prohibtion of ploughing a field with two different species of animals coupled together, such as with an ox and donkey that are hitched together by yoke.

In modern classification of animals, the genus Canis is used to include dogs, wolves, coyotes, and jackals. Even so, the mating of dogs and wolves is forbidden. The common "village dog" (Hebrew: הכלב הכופרי), said by some commentators to be the saluki dog, is considered a diverse kind with the fox. Similarly, the mating of a horse and mule (even though they cannot reproduce) is forbidden.

Though a Jew is forbidden to crossbreed a horse and a donkey (producing a hinny or mule), had a gentile bred them, it is permitted for a Jew to make use of them. - Wikipedia

It is easy to see that the beast from the sea is made up of separate parts of the four beasts of Daniel's vision. Daniel shows how the spirits of the four world religions fought for control of the great sea, that is, this world.

(1) The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. (Daniel 7:4)

"Like a lion" is Judaism:

Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? (Genesis 49:9)

The "wings" of revelations and prophecies were plucked from Judaism, then it will be raised from the carnal level of earthly religion and will receive the wise heart of the saints, whom it will receive from all nations after the building of the Third Temple, described in Ezekiel.

(2) And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. (Daniel 7:5)

This is Islam. "Much flesh" means a lot of carnal religious exercise, five times a day prayers. In the mouth of the beast of Islam are the first three commandments, about monotheism, which he bit out of the back of the fourth beast. Yes, now they no longer look like horns, but like bones, like ribs in one piece of flesh.

(3) After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. (Daniel 7:6)

This beast is the Eastern religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Shintoism. Four heads and four wings - these religions can "fly" in spiritual spheres. Although there are four of them, they are often spoken of as one: Eastern religions.

(4) After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

(Daniel 7:7,8)

This beast is the Christian religion. It is no longer the Church that was in the first centuries. It is the religion of Rome, which adapted the Gospel to its imperial needs. There is a hint in 2 Esdras 12:11 :

The eagle, whom thou sawest come up from the sea, is the kingdom which was seen in the vision of thy brother Daniel.

This eagle has three heads: Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Protestantism. The "second feather", which reigned longer than the others, is Caesar Augustus. At that time the eagle's "heads" were still asleep, indicating that the Roman religion had not yet awakened because of the Gospel.

And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together. (Luke 17:37)

The eagle was the symbol of the Roman Empire (Catholicism). The eagle was the symbol of Byzantium (Orthodoxy). The eagle is on the coat of arms of the USA (Protestantism). This is the corpse of the Body of Christ, the resurrection of the Body is Israel.

The 10 horns of this beast of religion are the 10 commandments. The Ten Commandments are a characteristic feature of the Christian religion, in Judaism there are 613 commandments. When the "little horn" stood at the head of Christianity - Caesar, then the king, now the president, the first 3 commandments disappeared, because instead of God they had a man. And this man, the false Jesus, abolished the biblical holidays and abolished the law. Instead of the biblical Passover on the 14th of Nisan at the full moon, a pagan holiday of the goddess of fornication and fertility Astarte, Easter, appeared. Instead of the Passover Lamb, vile unclean rabbits appeared. A fictitious holiday of Christmas appeared, December 25, the birthday of the Roman god of the sun - while the real Jesus Christ, according to the Bible, was born in the fall, on the 8th day of the 7th month of Tishrei.

But now, when the joint efforts of pagans wishing to build a kingdom of Prosperity have formed a common Civilization for all, with a common usurious banking system, with common communications - the differences between representatives of different religions have been erased, in this godless world everyone looks the same, drives the same cars, flies the same planes, uses the same bank cards. In essence, the majority of today's Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Jews and others have become indifferent to religion, they have merged in one common lawlessness.

Therefore, the beast from the sea, the beast of the current world system has the features of all four religious beasts from Daniel's vision. But the 10 horns of this beast are not the Ten Commandments that Christianity originally had. Now on the back of the beast of world civilization there are 10 horns - these are the anti-commandments, the commandments of Satan. Something like this:

1. mammon, property is your god
2. make yourself an image of prosperity, worship and serve it
3. conjure and sorcery, pronouncing the name of the Lord in vain, conjuring prosperity for yourself
4. have no rest day or night, engage in money-grubbing: business requires sacrifice
5. the pension fund will take care of the father and mother
6. kill in wars started for the sake of enrichment
7. commit adultery
8. steal, withhold part of your wage worker, engage in usury to get rich
9. lie to your rich masters so as not to become poor

10. desire everything and as much as possible, inflame lust through advertising

The harlot, drunk on the blood of the saints, sits astride this beast of civilization, and copulates with this beast, using the horns protruding from its back like phalluses.

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. (Revelation 17:6)

What was John so wondered about?

He was wondered that people living IN THE BEAST called themselves Christians.

The 42 months begins upon authority being practiced by the second beast .The 42 months is exactly 1260 days which is also refered to as a time,times and a half time.

42 months is the amount of time the christians in Israel are persecuted.

Daniel 7:25
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

Daniel 12:7
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

Revelation 11:2-3
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.


Revelation 13:5-7
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.


Revelation 12:14-17
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

The 42 months begins upon authority being practiced by the second beast .The 42 months is exactly 1260 days which is also refered to as a time,times and a half time.
In the biblical calendar, months are lunar months. A lunar month is 29.53059 days. 42 months are 1240 days.

Time, times and half a time mean something else. "Times" are the times of the pagans, the period from the 4th century onwards, when Christianity was filled with pagans who did not seek the Kingdom of God, but sought from God what they should eat, drink and wear:

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

(Matthew 6:31,32)

These pagans who now fill the "outer court" of the temple of Corpus Christi, God has commanded NOT TO BE MEASURED. They will be outside the resurrection of the first.
42 months is the amount of time the christians in Israel are persecuted.
Israel has nothing to do with this at all.
Daniel 7:25
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
The saints of the Most High have been persecuted by the Christian religion since the 4th century.
Revelation 11:2-3
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
42 months is not 1260 days. 1260 days here is also a conditional period, which is not literal, but 2x1260=2520 years. These "two witnesses" are Judaism and Christianity, "two olive trees" from the 11th chapter of Romans. The beginning of the prophecy of Judaism was in the month of Adar 516 BC, when the Second Temple was built. The end of the prophecy of Christianity was March 28, 2005, when dead Christianity ignored the greatest sign from God: the coincidence of two strong earthquakes with two main holidays of Christianity, Christmas-2004 and Easter-2005. Such a coincidence can happen by chance approximately once in one and a half million years - but Christianity did not pay attention, because there are no prophets or saints there for a long time - they were all killed, excommunicated, expelled from the confessions. Christianity, like Judaism, has lost its living connection with God, has ceased to be an instrument in His hand, the "moon" of nominal religion has become like blood - a soulful get-together, a club of interests. Soulful, without spirit.
Revelation 13:5-7
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Here we may indeed be talking about 1240 days - not 1260!
Revelation 12:14-17
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
There may be difficulties here if we tie this to the earthly time scale. The flight of the "woman" has ALWAYS happened. Always the saints were forced to flee and hide in the deserts. The birth of the "man child", Who is Christ in us, has also happened since ancient times:

My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, (Galatians 4:19)

A muddy river of religious nonsense has always filled the religious space of Christian sermons in all denominations. This is the "beast from the earth", outwardly similar to the Lamb (Jesus Christ), but speaking like a dragon (the devil). The real Lamb has 7 horns:

And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; (Isaiah 11:1,2)

(1) Spirit of the Lord, (2) spirit of wisdom, (3) spirit of understanding, (4) spirit of counsel, (5) spirit of might, (6) spirit of knowledge, (7) spirit of the fear of the LORD, godliness.

The false Jesus in religion has only 2 horns:

(1) O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane [and] vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: (1 Timothy 6:20) - In the original Greek it says: "falsely called knowledge."

(2) Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. (2 Timothy 3:5)

The two horns, the two powers of the false religion of the Antichrist: (1) false knowledge and (2) false godliness. All of Christianity is filled with this.

False.A time,times and a half is 3.5 years.


3.5 years is1260 days according to the word of God.


The woman flees into the wilderness for 1260 days.

Revelation 12
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.



The woman flees into the wilderness for a time,times and a half time

Revelation 12
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.




AS for the saints in the land of Israel, they have not yet been imprisoned and killed since the deadly wound was healed.Their persecution begins when the people of Israel begin to receive the mark of the beast.

Revelation 14
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

They will occupy Israel 42 months=1260 days.

False.A time,times and a half is 3.5 years.


3.5 years is1260 days according to the word of God.


The woman flees into the wilderness for 1260 days.

Revelation 12
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Where did you find 3.5 years? 1260 days must be exactly 1260 days. For the "two witnesses" it was already March 28, 2005. For a woman it is a completely different period. For example, from October 8, 2023, Simchat Torah, the Hamas attack, to March 21, 2027 (Adar II 12). And this will not be connected in any way with the 1260 days of the "two witnesses".
The woman flees into the wilderness for a time,times and a half time

Revelation 12
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
"Woman" can be deployed once in time, from the time of the book of Esther until now, and the second time can be designated by some specific dates with an interval of 1260 days, as I gave the example above. This is a very good way to confuse any interpreters of these prophecies.
AS for the saints in the land of Israel, they have not yet been imprisoned and killed since the deadly wound was healed.Their persecution begins when the people of Israel begin to receive the mark of the beast.

Revelation 14
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
The two witnesses have long been dead. Both olive trees, the good olive and the wild olive, have lost touch with their roots in Scripture. The beast is the world system, civilization. The beast has 7 heads, these are the 7 empires that enslaved the Jews: Ancient Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, the USA. The USA will now receive a mortal wound, the Great Crisis, - but this mortal wound will be healed. This will be a "miracle" that will be performed by the false prophet, the spirit of the false Jesus in the Christian religion. And the whole world will rush to continue building this same godless world system.

As for the "mark of the beast", it is a spiritual sign. Those who steal (bank usury, surplus value) and those who lie have long received it.

The 42 months the second beast practices the authority of the first beast is 1260 days.

Revelation 11
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

Chapter 11 is very well mixed up in time. So you won't be able to resolve it that way. Judaism closed heaven quite successfully in the days of Jesus Christ:

But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
(Matthew 23:13)

Pharisaic Christianity also closed the doors of heaven quite successfully. But when Christianity died, demonstrating a complete lack of connection with God, now we must wait for the "two witnesses" to come to life. Judaism and Christianity will come to life when the Third Temple is built in the Judean Desert, in accordance with the prophecy of Ezekiel.

Some numbers in the Bible are symbolic. 6x7=42 - human cannot be multiplied by God.

Kil'ayim (or Klayim; Hebrew: כלאים, lit. "mixture," or "diverse kinds") are the prohibitions in Jewish law which proscribe the planting of certain mixtures of seeds, grafting, the mixing of plants in vineyards, the crossbreeding of animals, the formation of a team in which different kinds of animals work together, and the mixing of wool with linen in garments.

Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled. (Deuteronomy 22:9)

Do not mix the Gospel with political issues, God's with the worldly in the Church.

Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together. (Deuteronomy 22:10)

Do not assign a believer and an unbeliever (clean and unclean) to work together.

Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together. (Deuteronomy 22:11)

Do not try to present the same action of yours as righteousness and as sin. Do not ask forgiveness for what you did if you did it out of zeal for the Lord.

42 months of the beast is a conditional number. As conditional as the 42 children from Bethel, torn to pieces by she-bears according to the word of the prophet Elisha. As conditional as the 42 thousand Ephraimites, slaughtered while crossing the Jordan in the book of Judges.

An example of illegal mixing in modern Christianity. They suggest simply googling to find the word of God for your case. That is, to apply the word of God mechanically, not as an answer from the living God, but at the whim of your own soul. This is lawlessness, and such an approach to the word of God will not go unpunished: 42 months of the "beast", when all the pagans will pray for this world.

The disciples of Jesus Christ seek the Kingdom of God. A pagan is one who seeks what to eat, what to drink and what to wear.

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

(Matthew 6:31,32)

The 42 children from Bethel, where the golden calf stood, mocked God's prophet, from whose mouth came the words of God.

42 thousand Ephraimites (the image of Christians) went against the judge Jephthah, whose war brought victory to the Jews. Sibboleth/Shibboleth = Jesus/Yeshua. Christians who oppose the Jews will perish.

The beast from the sea has been around since ancient times, since the time of the Sumerians. The 42 months of the beast are a conditional period of judgment over this world, where the masses of pagans who have turned to God will remain the same pagans and will try to "lead God by the beard" where they themselves want: to Prosperity, to the creation of a perfect system for distributing goods in this world. They will be very surprised when it turns out that this system of theirs will turn against them so that the kingdom of the beast will seem gloomy to them and they will bite their tongues from suffering in their material paradise.
Dear Galgal,
Yes, numbers in scripture are "spirit" words (John 6:63) which have meaning different than what man's wisdom teaches 1Cor 12:3).

The number 42, as you say, is 6 x 7. The number six is the number for mankind. The number seven is the number for perfection. The perfection comes when a person becomes "worse than the first" (Mat 12:43-45). This "man of sin" condition occurs when the spirit of anti-Christ indwells a unconverted believer (a babe) and makes them apostate.

Also, there are 42 months left of Daniel's Seventy weeks prophecy. This represents the time a believer spends between being given the Early and Latter Rains of the Spirit. This is a time of "great tribulation" (number 40) when they are indwelt with the spirit of anti-Christ. This is also why the beast's number is 666. The number three represents a spiritual process. It is this process that makes a believer apostate (worse than the first).

Also, there are 42 months left of Daniel's Seventy weeks prophecy.
I don't understand at all where Daniel says 42 months. The 70 weeks have long been fulfilled, on the 16th of Nisan 32, on the day of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. From the 16th of Nisan 452 BC, when King Artaxerxes gave an oral COMMAND to Esther and Mordecai, until the resurrection of Jesus Christ, exactly 69 weeks passed. And the 70th week was not at the end, but at the very beginning, from the taking of Esther under the supervision of the king's eurnuchi, a candidate for queen. Therefore, all 70 weeks have already been fulfilled, Christ has already been Anointed!

As for Daniel 9:27, it is not talking about the 70th week, but about a completely different, super-week, where the number of days in 7 standard lunar years must be replaced by years: 7x354=2478 years. This period has already passed in Nisan (March) 2020. And since the fall of 2023, half of the usual week has begun.

All English translations of Daniel 9:27 have the same mistake. In the original Hebrew, this verse does not contain the word "he". The literal translation there is something like this:

"And one week will confirm the covenant for many ..."

That is, the week itself, 2478 years, will confirm the covenant for many who will understand this prophecy. Sadly, for English-speaking countries, the obstacle lies in the English translation of the Bible itself. There is no Antichrist in Daniel's prophecy. There is no leader who would confirm some kind of agreement and then break the agreement. There is nothing, just empty fantasies of theologians who used bad translations.

It is this process that makes a believer apostate (worse than the first).
Here I do not understand at all what you are talking about. The Holy Spirit is in everyone who follows Christ, having rejected idols. "Blessed are the poor, for they have the Holy Spirit so that they may live in the kingdom of heaven." Those who are poor know this, but it is very difficult to explain this to the rich, living in civilization, they have a different spirit and usually have a different "Jesus Christ".

I do not support the theory of the "latter rain". On the contrary, Scripture speaks of a great spirit of error, which will especially manifest itself in the last days:

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

(2 Thessalonians 2:9,10)

The two witnesses are not two people. The two witnesses are all the Jews who are faithful to God and all the Christians who are faithful to God. The two olive trees from Romans 11. They are also shown as a field of dry bones in Ezekiel 37. There, as in Revelation 11, they will stand on their feet. Ezekiel 37 further explains that these dry bones are the two houses of Israel: the house of Judah (Jews, Judaism), the house of Joseph (Ephraim) - the lost tribes of Israel that are hidden in the Gentile Christians. Christians will be added to Judaism, the stick of Ephraim will be added to the stick of Judah. Then there will be a united Israel, and this will happen during the building of the Third Temple.

There is a rule of Torah interpretation that says that in the Torah there is no subsequent and previous. If one verse says A and the next verse says B, it does not mean that event A occurs before event B.

In the case of the Revelation of John, everything is much more complicated: it describes events INSIDE a person, in another dimension. For God, there are no our times - past, present, future. God embraces everything at once, for Him it is all at once. John saw the Judgment through the eyes of God. Therefore, there may be a completely different order of events than we read in chapters.

For example, at the beginning of chapter 11, the "temple" refers to the "temple of the living God", the temple of the Body of Christ. And at the end of chapter 11, it speaks of a material stone Temple that will be built in Israel in accordance with the prophecy of Ezekiel, chapters 40-48. At the beginning of the chapter, John "measures" those who are Christians because they sacrificed themselves to God. And he does not measure those believers who did not sacrifice themselves to God, but used the status of Christians to arrange their earthly life. And at the end of the chapter, the material Temple is shown, which will become the Ark of the Covenant with the people of Israel, thus rejecting all the pagans who only called themselves Christians, but were not such from the inside.

Another example: in verse 6 alone, it speaks of the past - when Judaism and Christianity closed the Kingdom of Heaven, and did not enter there themselves, and forbade others. And at the end of this same verse, it speaks of the period of the vials of wrath, when the fruits of the activity of the "two witnesses", Judaism and Christianity, will come: the religious world will be struck with plagues.

The time periods of 3 1/2 years, [time, times and half a time] 42 months and 1250 days, as Prophesied in Daniel and Revelation, all refer to the period which ends with the glorious Return of Jesus. The second half of the final seven years of this age.

They do not match exactly now, but they will after the terrible Day of the Lords fiery wrath, the Sixth Seal event.
This shaking of the earth, Hebrews 12:26, will result in the earth being moved from her place, Isaiah 13:13.
Actually the earths orbit will be speeded up by 5.24 days, giving a year of exactly 360 days, divided into 12 months of exact 30 days each,

This makes sense of those 3 ways of describing the end times; the rule of the 'beast', Daniel 7:25, Rev 13:5-7, the keeping safe of the faithful Christians, Rev 12:14, and the time of the 2 Witnesses, Rev 11:3 All happening concurrently.

Why change the Earth's orbit? Everything will come true perfectly well without tectonic cataclysms.

"Mountains" are certain teachings, "islands" are platforms of religious views, for example, pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation and post-tribulation. When it becomes clear that the place of the Second Coming of Christ will be the Third Temple, described by Ezekiel, they will have to urgently change their positions. This "earthquake" is described in the 6th chapter of Revelation.

For example, the Mount of Olives, which became a symbol of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, will be moved by the word of God 30 km to the south, to the Judean Desert, where the Third Temple will be built. That is, the Mount of Olives has already been moved to the Judean Desert, it's just that most people don't know anything about it. When they find out, then there will be an "earthquake" of the 6th seal.

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

(2 Thessalonians 2:9,10)
Dear Galgal,
Daniel's Seventy Weeks prophecy will only be completed after the last Elect person has been saved. Their salvation is the stated goal of the prophecy found in Dan 9:24.

The first 69 1/2 weeks were fulfilled when Christ was "cutoff" at the cross. Those 69 1/2 weeks of years were physically completed under the Old Covenant (which is a physical covenant). The last 3 1/2 years will be completed spiritually and individually within each Elect person as they are converted (Early & Latter Rains, followed by judgement). After the last Elect person is saved, Daniel's Seventy Weeks prophecy will be fulfilled.

The covenant which Christ confirmed is the covenant that Christ made with Abraham. The heirs to whom the promises were made are the Elect.

Christ confirmed the covenant at the beginning of the last 7 years of Daniel's prophecy when Christ was baptized by John the Baptist. This marked the starting point of His work of saving the Elect. Three and a half years later, Christ went to the cross and was cutoff. This caused the Old Covenant (the daily sacrifice and oblation) to end and the New Covenant to begin. Since the New Covenant is a spiritual covenant, the last 3 1/2 years will be spiritually fulfilled.

As for the Early and Latter Rains of the Spirit, both are necessary for a person to be converted/saved.

James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receives the EARLY and LATTER RAIN. 8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

Hos 6:3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he
(Christ) shall come unto us as the RAIN, as the latter and former RAIN unto the earth.


The Early Rain of the Spirit is a small measure of the Spirit. It will give a person their faith in Christ and certain spiritual gifts. This is when a person will enter the church and become a "babe". But since the Early Rain of the Spirit is given in measure, it will leave the person carnally minded, spiritually blind and unconverted. In this condition, they will fall prey to Satan and become apostate. No "babe" can avoid it happening to them.

Isa 28:9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts (the converted Elect). 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: 11 For with stammering lips and another language will he speak to this people. 12 But the word of the LORD was unto them (the babes who can only draw milk) precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken (apostasy of the church).

Isa 28:12 was fulfilled by the apostasy of the church which Paul mentions below:

Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

Since all "babes" will become apostate, it is necessary for Christ to come a second time to His Elect to restore them. When He comes to them, He will pour out the Latter Rain of the Spirit (baptism of the Holy Spirit), followed by judgment (baptism of Fire).

Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire: 12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

This is the conversion event when a babe becomes a little child and enters the Kingdom of Heaven.

Mat 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

The Apostles received the Early Rain of the Spirit just before they accepted Jesus as the Christ and as their Lord. Without the Early Rain, they could not have made this confession.

1Cor 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.

When Christ "came again" to the Apostles on the Day of Pentecost, Christ poured out the Latter Rain of the Spirit and converted them.

Paul received the Early Rain of the Spirit on the Damascus Road. This is when Paul accepted Christ as His Lord. Paul's blindness represented his spiritual blindness. The three days Paul spent in Damascus (unable to eat or drink of the New Covenant) represented Paul becoming "worse than the first" (a man of sin). When Ananias came to Paul, Paul received the Latter Rain of the Spirit which healed his spiritual blindness. This is when Paul was converted and was able to start receiving the spiritual nourishment of the truth (bread & New Wine).

Time - the time of the Jews
Times - the times of the Gentiles

And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. (Luke 21:24)

Half the time - the Judgment (when the question between the Jews and the Gentiles is decided).
False
A time is a year.
It is not a Jew or gentile.
