Introduction to Isochronal Eschatology

Do you know the Bible is God's Holy Word? Do you know it is

inspired, in errant, and infallible? If so, like, share,

subscribe and support this podcast. So we are Maranatha Ministries and now Reduction Draweth

Nigh. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program. We are

your host Jose and Matthew. Tonight we have another in the introductory series.

Jose and I are obviously going to have to do many of these just off

the response that I got off the first of the introductory lessons that we have

given so far. So right now we're going to do an introduction to isochronal

askatology. Now, you know this is an uphill battle right from the beginning,

because you know, Hoose, how many Bible teachers teach that time is

isochronal? I mean, who even mentions isochronology and the Bible? Who else

does it? I've only heard it here, Matthew nobody, of course.

Aaron. Aaron's in an institution of higher learning, and he says, they

they use this new phraseology partial fulfillment. No no, it ain't a partial

fulfillment. No it ain't no, no, no, no it ain't.

So this is a quagmire. It really is a quagmire. So we better

start ourselves off in prayer and finish out in prayer. So would you like

to start out or would you like to finish? I can finish, Matthew,

Okay, all right, let us lead off in prayer. You're having

a Father, thank you so much for this opportunity that you've afforded to Jseh,

that we might bless the name of your son, the Lord Jesus Christ,

and that we might try to edify the Lord Jesus Christ Church, that

we might be a blessing, that we might bring peace and understanding as to

the reason why you even wrote the Bible, your holy words. So thank

you so much for this opportunity. And all that jose and I can do

is is plead to you, Father, to fill your children with the Holy

Spirit and open their eyes and open their ears so that they may be able

to ingest what it is you have given to them. This magnificent proof text

here in Daniel chapter eleven. This is the greatest proof text of them all.

And for this, Jose and I humbly ask you to guide our our

words and guide our thoughts, that we might be edifying to your church and

the lame of the Lord Jesus Christ. We pray Amen and Amen Amen.

Okay, Jose, We've got to you know, this is this is twice

over what we normally do. I normally say we can cover it in one

mouthful twenty twenty one versus Max. I based that off of Obadiah. Of

course, the twenty one verses of Obadiah and that last verson Obadiah. That's

what poppera in itself. That's why I try to say, well, really

it's twenty so we better cut right to the chase here. What's your opening

comments on Daniel chapter eleven. Well, Matthew, I mean, obviously I've

read it before, and if you don't understand the historical context, you can

kind of get lost, and a lot of what's saying At the same time

as I'm reading it, I'm trying to understand the prophetic context, okay,

which you really can't do both, Matthew. At the same time. You've

got you've got to understand the historical context first before you start can start to

understand the prophetic context. So so those are the two things that are going

on in this chapter. And there is just so much information in these verses,

as far as having to research right, having to figure out what God

was telling us about what Daniel meant prophetically that was to come in the near

time frame, and then what he meant prophetically and what is to come in

the latter timeframe. So it's just it's it's just it's just it's amazing,

Matthew, when when you just start to look into this historically and you start

to read about the historical figures and and God just hitting you upside the face

with how how he repeats himself, how he iserconally tells us what is to

come. And so this this, this is a great chapter to study.

And like you said, it's going to take more than one show to get

it all in. Well, I hope not. I hope we can do

it all here. Let's really clarify what you're saying. There is no doubt

this was all already fulfilled. Right. This is why the Book of the

Maccabees was even written. Most Protestants don't know that because it's not in their

Bible. The Maccabees is not. Jesus lays this all the ways in Matthew

Chapter twenty four, verse fifteen and I quote from the Lord Jesus Christ,

the son of the Living God. Therefore, when you see the abomination of

desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, but standing in the

Holy place, let the reader understand he is directly quoting here from Daniel,

chapter eleven, verse thirty one, Christ himself, the king of creation.

Jose just said, by the way, this is going to happen again.

So if you think this has been fulfilled, you're absolutely wrong. So in

the classroom setting, this always sets everybody in silence because they realize everything they've

heard before now is a lie. If you've been taught preterism, if you've

been taught that this is Daniel prophesying Antiochus Epiphanes, you are dead wrong.

Because Christ said this has not happened yet. So here we have this conundrum.

Jose, right, but you can put these forty five verses die directly

two historical events, directly directly to historical events. So is there any hope

of us even reading I mean, should we just read through this straight we

can? Matthew, Yeah, that might be the best thrive at all.

Yep. Get it all out there and then and then dig into it.

Okay, well, can I ask you to read away or would you like

me to do it? Sure? I can read very good, all right.

So we're in Daniel chapter eleven, and I'm reading out of the nasb.

Nineteen ninety five and the first year of Darius. The mead arose to

be an encouragement and a protection. I arose to be an encouragement and a

protection for him. And now I will tell you the truth. Behold,

three more kings are going to arise in Persia. Then the fourth will gain

far more riches than all of them. As soon as he becomes strong through

his riches, he will arouse the whole empire against the realm of Greece,

and a mighty king will arise, and he will rule with great authority and

do as he pleases. But as soon as he has arisen, his kingdom

will be broken up and parceled out toward the four points of the Compass,

though not to his own descendants, No, according to his authority which he

wielded for his sovereignty will be uprooted and given to others besides them. Then

the King of the South will go strong, along with one of his princes,

who will gain ascendency over him and obtain dominion. His dominion will be

a great dominion. Indeed, after some years they will form an alliance,

and the daughter of the King of the South will come to the King of

the North to carry out a peaceful arrangement. But she will not retain her

position of power, nor will he remain with his power. But she will

be given up along with those who brought her in and the one who sired

her, as well as he who supported her in those times. But one

of the descendants of her Lyne will arise in his place, and he will

come against their army and enter the fortress of the King of the North,

and he will deal with him and display great strength. Also their gods,

with their metal images and their precious vessels of silver and gold, he will

take into captivity to Egypt, and he, on his part, will refrain

from attacking the King of North for some years. Then the latter will enter

the realm of the King of the South, but will return to his own

land. His sons will mobilize and assemble a multitude of great forces, and

one of them will keep on coming and overflow and pass through that he may

again wage war up to his very fortress. The King of the South will

be enraged and go forth and fight with the King of the North. Then

the latter will raise a great multitude, but that multitude will be given into

the hand of the former. Altitude is carried away, his heart will be

lifted up, and he will cause tens of thousands to fall. Yet he

will not prevail, for the King of the North will again raise a greater

multitude than the former, and after an interval of some years, he will

press on with the great army and much equipment. Now in those times,

many will rise up against the King of the South. The violent ones among

your people also will lift themselves up in order to fulfill the vision, but

they will fall down. Then the King of the North will come, cast

up a sea trap and capture a well fortified city. And the forces of

the South will not stand their ground, not even their choicest troops, for

there will be no strength to make a stand. But he who comes against

him will do as he pleases, and no one will be able to withstand

him. He will also stay for a time in the beautiful land with destruction

in his hand. He will set his face to come with the power of

his whole kingdom, bringing with him a proposal of peace, which he will

put into effect. He will also give him the daughter of women to ruin

it, but she will not take a stand for him or be on his

side. Then he will turn his face to the coastlands and capture many,

But a commander will put a stop to his scorn against him. Moreover,

he will repay him for his scorn. So he will turn his face toward

the fortresses of his own land. But he will stumble and fall and be

found no more. Then in his place one will arise who will send an

oppressor to the jewel of his kingdom. Yet within a few days he will

be shattered, though not in anger nor in battle. In his place,

a despicable person will arise, on whom the honor of kingship has not been

conferred. But he will come in a time of tranquility and seize the kingdom

by intrigue. The overflowing forces will be flooded away before him and shattered,

And also the Prince of the Covenant. After an alliance is made with him,

he will practice deception, and he will go up and gain power with

a small force of people. In a time of tranquility. He will enter

the richest parts of the realm, and he will accomplish what his fathers never

did, nor his ancestors. He will distribute plunder, booty, and possessions

among them, and he will devise his schemes against strongholds, but only for

a time. He will stir up his strength and courage against the King of

the South with the large army. So the King of the South will mobilize

an extremely large and mighty army for war, but he will not stand,

for schemes will be devised against him. Those who eat his choice food will

destroy him, and his army will overflow, but many will fall down slain.

As for both kings, their hearts will be intent on evil, and

they will speak lies to each other at the same table, but it will

not succeed, for the end is to come at the appointed time. Then

he will return to his land with much plunder, but his heart will be

set against the Holy Covenant, and he will take action and then return to

his own land. At the appointed time, he will return and come into

the South. But this last time it will not turn out the way it

did before, for ships of Kiddom will come against him Therefore he will be

disheartened and will return and become enraged at the Holy Covenant and take action.

So he will come back and show regard for those who forsake the Holy Covenant.

Forces from him will arise, desecrate the sanctuary fortress, and do away

with the regular sacrifice, and they will set up the abomination of desolation by

smooth words. He will turn to godlessness those who act wickedly toward the Covenant,

But the people who know their God will display strength and take action.

Those who have insight among the people will give understanding to the many. Yet

they will fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity, and by

plunder for many days. And when they fall, they will be granted a

little help, and many will join with them in hypocrisy. Some of those

who have insight will fall in order to refine, purge and make them pure

until the end time, because it is still to come. At the appointed

time. Then the king will do as he pleases, and he will exalt

and magnify himself above every god, and will speak monstrous things against the God

of gods, and he will prosper until the indignation is finished. For that

which is decreed will be done. He will show no regard for the gods

of his fathers, or for the desire of women, nor will he show

regard for any other god, for he will magnify himself above them all.

But instead he will honor a god of fortresses, a god whom his fathers

did not know. He will honor him with gold, silver, costly stones

and treasures. He will take action against the strongest of fortresses with the help

of a foreign god. He will give great honor to those who acknowledge him,

and will cause them to rule over the many, and will parcel out

land for a price. At the end time, the king of the South

will collide with him, and the king of the North will storm against him

with chariots, with horsemen, and with many ships, and he will enter

countries, overflow them, and pass through. He will also enter the beautiful

land, and many countries will fall, but these will be rescued out of

his hand. Eat them Moab and the foremost of the sons of Amine.

Then he will stretch out his hand against other countries, and the land of

Egypt will not escape, but he will gain control over the hidden treasures of

gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt and Libyans and

Ethiopians will follow at his heels. But rumors from the east and from the

north will disturb him, and he will go forth with great wrath to destroy

and annihilate many. He will pitch the tents of his royal pavilion between the

seas and the beautiful holy Mountain. Yet he will come to his end,

and no one will help him. Wow. That's a mouthful, isn't it.

Yes, it is, Matthew. I mean, you realize he's perfectly

describing literally everything that happened the rise of Alexander the Great, what happened to

the Persians, the whole nine yards right, right? Really, he gives

us everything up to the desecration of the temple, the setting up of the

abomination of desolation. Then you pick up at verse thirty six, these things

have not happened yet, correct, And Giaccas Epiphanes never engaged in this thirst,

this third engagement never happened. Right. So, so I guess the

better way way to look at this, Matthew, is that God here is

speaking prophetically. He's speaking about what is to come, He's speaking about the

end times. Right, But Historically, he caused the events to happen with

Alexander the Great and with and with you know, the Seleucids and the Ptolemys

and all that, to show us an example of what is to come.

This is this is not speaking about those events, but he's using those historical

events to show us a glimpse of what is to come. I guess you

could say a reminder, a remembrancer of what is to come. Well,

could we say this that as God spoke this, Well, who was literally

speaking here, literally speaking here is the parchangel Gabriel, Right, I mean

we know them. So that being said, he's just repeating what God has

told him to tell Daniel. So literally we're having, you know, just

the same exact thing. Jesus Christ does this in Revelation. He tells the

Angel, and the Angel goes and tells John. Right, So we're having

the same thing here with Gabriel. He's telling Gabriel, and Gabriel is relaying

it to Daniel. Is it possible that the very force of him saying this

creates a wave through time? Yeah, and that you know the I mean,

let's magnify this, let's magnify verse two. Well, you know verse

one is talking about Darius the mead. Yes, yes it is. Verse

two says three more kings. We know who those are, canbis. We

have Gamata, Darius, and the Xerxes the first right, right, you

can't argue this, can't no, I mean this is true. And then

verse three is Alexander the Great. Yes it is right, Yes it is.

I mean, there's just no doubt. And then all of a sudden

it switches to verse five and it starts talking about the King of the South

and the King of the the North, which is the Potolemy's. Well,

why don't you give me your your your historical view here, I mean,

these verses are amazing. You can put literal names to all of this.

Correct, correct, correct, So historically people have looked at at the King

of the North being the Seleucid dynasty, which is one branch that that came

about after Alexander the Great, and the King of the South being historically the

Ptolemy's in Egypt. Right, the Seleucids were mostly over Syria Asia Minor and

the Ptolemy's being over Egypt. And of course there are always going back and

forth, always battling, and so you've got you've got different times where the

Ptolemies were stronger, at different times where the Solucid dynasty is stronger. And

that's where a lot of this is is. You know, it's kind of

described here and in them going back and forth, you have the the arrangement

that was made with with the daughter of the South Bernice, right, that

marriage that was attempted to try to settle settle peace in or Mary and and

get the get the the people working together. You also have in the backdrop

Matthew kind of as as those two dynasties start to lessen, Rome becomes stronger,

and then Rome right and starts essentially still still giving the governorship for these

two dynasties, but they're they're really in charge of what happens. So so

you've got Rome that will say, for example, when well, one of

the a Selucid king is in power, they'll take one of his sons and

and take care of him right in Rome, right, but they're they're holding

a hostage so that the Selucid king or does what what they want them what

they want them to do. So you have you have these historical things happening,

and it's just there's just so much there, Matthew to dig into.

Well, let's there's so much to dig get up. Let's talk about the

ships of Kiddom. This is when he goes and invades, right, but

then the Romans step in. Okay? Did this this really happened? The

Romans stepped in right, Okay? And literally if you read the historical context

of what happened, it's really off the book. Really, the Romans really

do put uh and into what's going on. And that's why historically the the

the Israe the lights have called Rome kiddom. Right, Yes, that's what

they call them. Here, let me read the history of it. In

six in one sixty eight BC, Antiochus led a second attack on Egypt.

Okay, and also sent a fleet to capture Cyprus. Now, before you

reached Alexandria's past was blocked by a singularly elderly Roman ambassador named Leonias, who

delivered a message from the Roman senate. Now, look, this is what

really happened. Antiochus tries to argue with him, and he literally draws a

line in the sand around Antiochus and says, no, you're giving me an

answer as to whether you're going to withdraw before you leave this circle, because

whatever you say before you leave this circle is what I'm going to report back

to the Roman Senate. That this this really did happen, Yes, it

did. We know who did it, who, what, where and why?

I mean literally we know what happened here. So I mean the historians

call the ancient sources traditionally call this this event the day of Eliasis. It's

also called the Great Humiliation of Antiochus Epiphanies. But that this really happened,

Jose, This is true, that literally really happened, all right, So

you know it's amazing that you get this, this this daughter of women right,

and the Bible doesn't come out and tell you everything. And it's so

perfect how the Bible uses these phrases, you know, the daughter of women,

of women. Nobody knows what happened behind the scenes here with Laodis.

You know, it's amazing that people don't Realizeze that Bernice was given as a

bride. Okay, in order to do so, Leo just had to step

aside. So she had Bernice and the air killed correct, correct, yes,

But when you read Daniel, it says it so perfectly without naming names.

You realize that prophetically this is being woved into one force. So but

hindsight's twenty twenty when you realize, wow, he's literally greatly depicting exactly what

happened to We have to realize that earlier in Daniel, you get this vision

of the little horn, right, and you realize that this directly applies to

Antiochus Epiphanies because answer me, this was Antiochus Epiphany supposed to be the one

in control. No, sir, he was not. Okay, so how

many relatives were before him in the line of succession? What I what I

saw was that there was three. Okay, So he must have had a

brother or something. Yep, yep, he had a brother. Yes,

I can read you. I can read you this little bit, Matthew,

that might okay, go ahead, yeah, a little bit. And this

is straight from Wikipedia, but says Antiochus was born around two fifteen BC and

was the son of the Seleucid king Antiochus the third the Great. As a

potential successor to the throne, he became a political hostage of the Roman Republic

under the turns of terms of the Treaty of Apamea, concluded in one eighty

eight BC, after his older brother Seleucus the fourth Philopotter followed their father onto

the throne. In one eighty seven BC, Antiochus was exhamee for Demetrius the

first Soda son and era of Seleusis right, So then Seleucius the brother,

the one that was reigning, was assassinated in a September one seventy five PC

by the government minister Heliodorus Heliodorus proclaiming slave self regent k and then with the

help of the king of Pergamum, Antiochus the fourth came and essentially got rid

of that guy. Right. The legitimate air, of course, should have

been Demetrius the first soldier, who was held hostage in Rome, but he

Antiochus seized the throne for himself, proclaiming hisself coregent with another son of Seleusis

an infant named Antiochus. Antiochus, the son of Seleucus the fourth would later

die in one seventy BC, possibly murdered by Antiochus the fourth. So that's

how he comes to the throne. Matthew, Now treachery involved there, right,

So literally speaking, you're saying a brother and two nephews. Right,

uh huh, yep. Is that not exactly what the Bible states, Yes,

it does, Matthew, that the little horn would uproot three or right,

that's exactly what it says. And we know exactly historically speaking, what

those ten horns mean, Yes, we do. We do know what those

tens horn are because you can literally track the ten up to Antiochus epiphanies.

Yes you can. You can literally put names behind everything. Okay, I

mean, look, ladies and gentlemen, these things are true. But Christ

trumps you. Christ says, no, no, it happened, It hasn't

happened yet. Matter of fact, Christ says this pertaining to the end of

days. And when you see now, it's amazing that remember this is one

of the strange times where the Adiddo Regia text the literal New Testament, the

New Testament manuscript, okay, as solidified by all the church east west,

north side, all the churches solidified that it's the Adido Regia that is the

correct Greek manuscript, all the church, everybody, this infamous verse that has

let the reader understand in Greek, right, Jose, right, and now

you understand why Jesus is saying this, right, he's saying, this is

an iso. He's saying time as isochronal, and every time this goes around

the ride it will be eventually there will come one which will fulfill this entire

template. Right, Yes, and there's just no denying that. We can

take a look at from verse thirty six on. It has not happened yet.

No, everything else has obviously happened. And we all need to realize

that the Bible is screaming from the top of God's lungs. Time is io

chromine. That's exactly what he says in the Book of Ecclesiastes. He doesn't

just does he not say most of you know these verses, that that which

is is that which will be? You know those verses from Ecclesiastes. You

know that it literally comes out and says God himself chases after what has been

right Jose, Yes, that's what he says. Why have we Why do

we Christians have it stuck in our head that time is linear? Why is

that when God screams other Jesus Christ screams otherwise, Jesus Christ is screaming.

In Matthew chapter twenty four, verse fifteen, this chapter's not happened yet.

So when you realize that and you step back and you study this, uh,

you study the history of it, it makes you really step back and

realize, oh my goodness, here in this text it seems to mention two

different women, but you realize that it puts it in such a way it's

really one force of nature. When there's no doubt this is talking about Bernice

and her being murdered by Laodis, as Laodis was the first wife all this

treachery involved. You know, it's it's amazing that only historians can appreciate that

all this treachery being mentioned about Antiochus Epiphanies is pale and compares to what was

going on between Bernice and Laodis, right right. I mean, it'll absolutely

blow you away that the mechanations going on here. It's just amazing to me.

You know, verse seven mentions one of her line as in literally speaking

in Bernice's line. Who is it talking about. It's talking about Putaulemy the

third okay, and he did away with Laodis, the one who had murdered

Bernice. I mean, this is serious treachery going on here, Serious treachery

going on here with this daughter of women, this daughter of the King of

the South. It's just absolutely unhind So I'll want your thoughts looking into the

future. You know, what are the what are the most important identities in

the Book of Revelation concerning the in days? Because guess what I mean.

I hate to rend your party, Jose, but I want to break it

to you gently. The anti Christ ain't one of them, right, No,

it's not. Okay. So we have the Beast from the Abyss,

right, yes, we have the false Prophet, right, correct? Then

we have another entity that's all over the Book of Revelation, that is the

Great Harlet. Correct, yes, So when we look forward, we know

beyond any shadow of a doubt that this Great Harlot plays a prominent pentacle role

in all of this, right right, So looking forward, what do you

think that means? It's it's it's hard to put together, Matthew. You

could you could look at Antiochus an example of the false prophet because of what

he does in the sanctuary and what he does to the to the to the

sacrifices, right, you can you can almost read what his what he's what

he's done, and see what what the false prophet is going to do,

and obviously to a much grander scale. Right when it comes to the Harlot.

You know, all all this, all this treachery that we read about

in in In with the Ptolemy's and with the Antiochus dynasty. You know,

it's all about getting their heirs on the throne. It's all about getting their

their seed to have control. That's the only reason they're doing all this,

Leo, Like you said, Leodice was the first wife, and she obviously

had children that she wants on the throne. And then all of a sudden

Bernice comes in. And now because of the agreement that's been made, now

Bernice's children are going to be the ones that will ascended the throne. And

of course that doesn't go over well with Layo, dis okay, And so

you know all this treachery, and and again you'd have to look into historically

they're called it's called the great Haarlett in the Book of Revelation. So there's

got to be some harder tree going on here, Matthew that will help us

understand what is to come. There just has to be agreed, There has

to be there literally has to be you know, we're we're going to talk

about something that that to the best of my knowledge, I don't think anybody

else knows this information. What made Antiochus Epiphanies, well, what made him

different was a simple fact that he started taking on titles that were divine.

And it's very disturbing because he was the first one that did it. Okay

now, now, now his dad used Antiochus the Great right, right,

Yes, Antiochus went way beyond this. He started using divine epitaphs like manifest

God and Bringer a Victory. But when you look at this, and you

can only look at this in Greek, right, because literally you can get

these titles on coins, right, The thing that bothers me is what he's

known by, Antiochus Epiphanies. When you look at that in the Greek,

it kind of catches your attention, don't it. Yes, it does,

Matthew, And it catches your attention. From my childhood, because I was

taught this from the earliest of age. It was a way that my pastor

shielded me and protected me from the children of disobedience. Brother Marshall drilled this

into our heads every year, the different different age groups, whenever we would

get our rewards. Whenever your particular class is over for the year, whether

it's the youth group or the adolescent age, the end of the year,

we'd have rewards. And whoever got the most points, YadA, YadA,

YadA, Who've got the most verses. To make a long story short,

he said, he drill into our heads, ask them these three questions.

Number one, the first question was who is the son of Kush? Number

two, who is the wife of Manoah? And number three, who is

Abigail's husband. Now, if they can answer those three questions, you know

that, even if it's unintentional, they've read and studied the Bible so much

it's been imprinted on their psyche. I'm not going to give you the three

answers because it's just literally. I prove this when even I was in an

institution, a Christian institutional higher learning. You're talking about the top ten percentile

of Christians. Top ten percent of Christians can answer those three questions. So

literally, if you know the answer to those three questions, you know more

than ninety nine percent of the population. Only the ten percent of Christians know

the answer to those three questions. And when you look at this in the

Greek that that title, which is manifest God, it pertains to one of

these three questions, doesn't it, Jose, Yes, it does. Yep.

So, ladies and gentlemen, this is the first time you've ever heard

this, at least to the best of my knowledge, because I've never shared

it publicly. This is only for in the classroom, people who are studying

the Bible with me in the classroom. So get your pens and pencils and

your paper, scratch paper, whatever, and write this down. Jose,

where is this title in the Bible? Because it is there. Where's it

at? Please the first time it shows up? Matthews in Dudges thirteen,

verse six in the Greek. Can you read that for us? Yes?

And the woman went and told her husband, saying, there came to me

a man of God, and his visage was like that of an angel of

God, very awful, so that I did not ask him whence he was,

nor did he tell me his name. But he said to me,

behold thou art with child, Jose, what's this woman's name? We're not

giving her name, Matthew. And this you don't know her name, right,

correct? You are? You are never told her name? She simply

bears the name Manoah's wife, correct, correct, and prophetically, you can

see now why that would be right right, And you can see here reading

the Greek, you can see here why it would be incorporated. Antiochus Epiphanes

was prophetically calling himself the angel that bore this message right right? Why don't

you, why don't you read for us verse seven and eight of Judges chapter

thirteen. And he said to me, behold, thou art with child and

shall bring forth the sun. And now drink no wine nor strong drink,

and eat no unclean thing, for the child shall be holy to God from

the womb until the day of his death. And Manoah prayed to the Lord

and said, I pray thee o, Lord, my Lord, concerning the

man of God whom thou sentest. Let him now come to us once more

and teach us what we shall do to the child about to be born.

So I appreciate that. Why don't you try verse eight in the Thompson translation,

if you have it available, please. Whereupon Manoah prayed to the Lord

and said, Lord, I deny, grant me that the man of God

whom thou didst send may come to us again and instruct us what we shall

do to the child which is to be born. Now we're seeing prophecy off

the hook, aren't we. Yes, Now we're seeing machinations underlying the sectuligint

that will quite simply blow your mind in Jose, and I do not have

the time. But there in verse six is exactly the epitaph that Antiochus took

on for himself, God manifest right there in the Greek, staring you in

the face. And if you can't read the Greek, you can't see it.

But I'm here to tell you that now prophetically, you're probably all wishing

that Matthew had an hour right now to explain to you why it is that

Manoah's wife is not given. Boy, don't you wish you had the time

just to dive into that right now? Jose, Oh, yeah, but

we can't. We got to complete this with a time that's been given us.

So when he used this epithaph, and he was sitting there in the

sanctuary in front of all the Jews, you know what, you know,

they were hearing it and they understood what he was trying to say. Yes,

exactly, because because a lot of people probably don't realize what was going

on with why he was giving out things for a price and stuff like that.

They probably don't realize that, ladies and gentlemen, Antiochus did a very

terrible thing multiple times. He literally sold the high priesthood. Correct, Yes

he did. Can you describe for us those events? The well the what

I read there? And I don't have the names right off the bat,

but yeah, he had said old the priest, so like you said too,

he had promised it and and basically the person had already paid for it,

and so he was a high priest until someone else came in paid a

higher price, and then Antiochus put him as a high priest. Yeah,

we're talking about Onias the Third. Correct. Yes, literally paid for the

removal of Onias the Third. Okay, now it was a relative is his

name Jason that bought it? Correct? Problem is is that once the Jews

figured out, hey, maybe I can offer him a higher price, which

is exactly what one of Jason's rivals did, uh Minlayius did, they went

and just paid Antiochus more more money. So out with Jason. It's amazing

that people that that Christians aren't told this really happened. I mean, this

is what really happened, and we know that in the final time, this

isn't what it's going to be. We know beyond any shadow of a doubt

that false Prophet does something else, doesn't it, Because the biblical narrative is

clear in the underlying Hebrew and Greek. Something puts him down. That would

be the great day of the Lord, no doubt. And when he comes,

when he is resurrected during the one thousand, two hundred and sixty day

tribulation, he literally has the power of a little God. Correct correct.

Well, here where Antiochus is put down, here in what is to come,

the false prophet steps into the role of the high police of the high

Priest, and he assumes to be a speaking and equal to the Angel he's

worshiping. Correct correct. Yes. So if you don't know everything behind the

high Priest Onanias of the third you'll need to look it up, because these

things are going to happen. Christ said these things are going to happen again.

So Daniel chapter eleven is paramount to your histo biblical studies. You need

to study this historically and write down all the names. I mean literally,

you can go through this jot and tittle verse by verse. I mean,

let's pick this up with verse fourteen. Okay, the king of the South,

This is Potomy the fifth. Okay of Egypt. Okay, the Jews

who joined forces of Antiochus. These things literally happened to the teen. They

literally happened to the team. Now the well fortified city in verse fifteen,

that is the Metatanian port of Saidan. Yes it is. We can look

up the historical reference and tells you all about what happened. These things are

true, okay verse sixteen. He who comes is Antiochus. He was in

control of the Holy Land by one ninety seven BC. We can literally put

names to this now in no, look verse seventeen when it says he will

also give him the daughter of women. Antiochus gave his daughter. When I

say it, take a deep breath. Antiochus gave Cleopatra the First, that

was his daughter. Look all of you know Cleopatra, right, Cleopatra the

First was Antiochis's daughter, and he gave in marriage to put Tomy the fifth.

This really did happen in one ninety four BC. Jose, yes it

did, Yes, it did. So these things being interwoven with historical events

playing out real time on the ground. Is just enough to blow you away.

It's it's enough to blow you away. Now let's take a look at

verse twenty two. I've already talked about it. But who is the prince

of the Covenant? This is the high priest Ownias the third. Yes it

is, Yes, it is. You can go through this jah and tittle

and give a name to everybody that's mentioned here. I mean I already stated

in verse thirty the ships of Kitten, the Roman vessel that arrived under Linnaeus.

He was the one that that drew a circle in the sand around Antiochus

and said, look, you give me an answer before you leave the circle,

because I'm going straight back to the Roman Senate to tell you you're this

literally is exactly what happened, not a little bit. And it's to the

point that historians reject this, right, Jose, Correct, they do.

Now there's a big problem with that, right because, Uh, what's the

earliest copy of the Sept two Agent that we have? Oh, I don't

know that it's three hundred BC. Jose. All right, a little bit,

Jose, we have two copies of the Sept two Agent that predate the

Masoretic text from the seven hundreds by one thousand years. No one understand this,

This was written three hundred BC. I already told you the dates.

Jose Yep, Daniel wrote this minimum one hundred years before. Yes he did,

yes, he did. So with that in mind, it's very disturbing

that people don't realize that we have septuageent manuscripts with Daniel in them that predate

these events by one hundred years. But of course, those that are in

a Christian institution's higher learning, that are professors that are not Christians, they

will lie and say that this had to be written after that, and they

will actually put this on test and force future pastors to lie on the test.

In order to pass the test, you have to lie and say that

Daniel was written post the events. Of course, these professors aren't chips,

They're just professors that's teaching in an institution of higher learning. So this is

very disturbing, very disturbing. And pose, let me ask you this.

You've obviously studied Bible prophecy before you joined this ministry, right, yes,

you know what had you heard about Daniel chapter eleven before you ever encountered this

ministry. There were some that obviously they talked about the historic events and not

into as much detail as we've gone through here. I hear a lot of

people relating the King of the North to that Antichrist right in quotation marks you

can call them the prophet. That's how he's called them the Book Revelation,

and those were the extent of where they would go with their with their analysis

with the prophetic things that were being discussed here in Danish chapter eleven, because

they couldn't really explain how all these characters in Daniel eleven relate to the entities

that we read about in the Book of Revelation. But that's the one thing

I remember the most, is the King of the North being being that that

false prophet anti Christ. And of course when it talks about him being bolsful

and proclaiming claiming himself God, sowing no regard for the gods of his father's

you know, that's that's where most of the focus was, because it's it's

you can tie a lot of what's being said at the end of Daniel eleven

to other prophetic books and and and do a little bit of study that way.

But as far as understanding what's being said at the top of Daniel eleven

and relating that prophetically. No, I never got a whole lot of information

that way, Matthew. You know, which is a shame, isn't it.

There's a lot there, man, There's a lot there that could have

been taught just from the history that you weren't getting right. And you know,

it's it's just that's just too bad. Now, I've got to clarify

to everybody, just so everybody knows that word Antichrist is G five hundred in

your strong concordance. It's antichristos. That's five times in the Bible. It's

in one John two eighteen, and one John two twenty two, and first

John four verse three. Lastly, it's in second John one seven. It's

never in revelation. Antichrist isn't in revelation. It never was. And I'm

telling you the truth. One thing is for sure. When you prophetically look

at this narrative, we agree that many times he says the king of the

North and the king of the South. Correct, Jose, Correct, he

says that many times. But when you step back and read this prophetically,

you know he's talking about one person and this person is not the King of

the North, and it's not the King of the South. It is a

third party. If you read this, if you were listening for it,

it made itself perfectly clear. With this well fortified city. Let me read

this. It says, then the King of the North will come and cast

a besiege, ramp and capture a well fortified city. And forces of the

South will not stand their ground, even their choices troops, for there will

be no strength for them to take a stand verse sixteen. But he who

comes against him will do as he pleases, and no one be able to

withstand him. He will also stay for a time in the beautiful land with

destruction in his hand. I'm sorry, ladies, gentlemen. This is the

third party, isn't it, Jose, Yes, it is. Verse fifteen

made it. God made himself clear that the King of the North comes and

raids a city in the King of the South. The King of the South

cannot withstand it, even the special forces of the King of the South withstanding,

But this third party comes in, and it says something very strange.

But he who does come, he doesn't say the King of the South.

But he who does come against him will do as he pleases, and for

some reason it says that he will have destruction in his hand. I urgently

push everybody look at this in the Hebrew and then look at it into Greek,

because it's important because the Assyrian false prophet is this third party. Yes

it is, Oh, yes it is. And the woman here that's being

talked about. You all need to take a very good read of Zachariah chapter

five, because there she is. She is being kept in stasis in what

you know in an ephas some translation state this is the harld of revelation.

Yeah is, yes it is. While we're down to the closing comment,

so jose your thoughts about time is time so chronal? Absolutely, Matthew,

it absolutely is. And when I was reading through this, I kept being

reminded of Genesis fourteen, where you have the kings of the Northern Kings coming

down and attacking the Southern kings. Right, the Southern Kings can't wis down

the Northern Kings, and what happens a third party has to come in to

resolve issues, and that third party is Abraham. And where does he end

up after all those events? But in Jerusalem, Amen, he winds up

facing the King of Righteousness. Amen, Amen, Amen, the King of

Salem, which means the King of peace. Correct, Yes it does.

Is this not what he Bruce tells us, Yes it does. So this

is a little more than off the hook that maybe somebody should have realized that

there's a person over the coalition from the north and those kings, and there

was also a prominent king in the King of the South, right Jose.

Amen, Amen, Matthew, and the Promise himself was the third party that

come in and wiped them out. Amen. Amen. Do you not realize,

Jose, that you could read Daniel chapter eleven and back it off of

Genesis chapter fourteen. Oh yes you can, Oh yes you can. Good

stuff. My final and closing comment is this, you and I are subject

to time. Literally, what I have spoken in this program has been done

in the past. What I'm speaking right now is in the present. And

the final thing that I do say before we close, that's in the future.

God is not like that. When God, God speaks, it's true,

not all the time. It's true from the beginning to the end.

Because he knows the end from the beginning. He speaks irregardless of tints.

When he says it. It's true. When he says it, it's true.

Time is is to chronal read the book of Ecclesiastes. He says it

more than once that time is cyclical. Time is like a spiral staircase.

And if you stand on the top of the spiral stairclat case and look down,

if there's twelve steps on each level, it's just like a clock.

That's what time is. That's what God says. You can like it,

or you can reject the words of the Lord Jesus Christ himself in Matthew chapter

twenty four, verse fear fifteen, pertaining the Daniel chapter eleven. If you

reject isochrono lezkatology, you're rejecting the words of Christ and of he who set

us upon the throne. Jose, please pray us out of here, all

right. Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for allowing us the time and

the ability to share your word with the Ecclesia. Father, I asked that

as we face troubles that may come, tribulations that come, that you remind

us, Lord, that man does not live by bread alone, but by

your work. Father, remind us that just as you take care of the

flowers of the field. And you take care of your creation, you will

also take care of us, and you will prepare us for what is to

come. Lord, I just ask for the strength to endure the coming troubles,

and I ask for the wisdom to help and find those lost sheep.

And we asked this in the name of your son, our Lord and Savior,

Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen and Amen. Until next time, ladies

and gentlemen, God bless God speed. Thank you for listening to Marinath the
