SOME BIBLE ANSWERS OR HINTS

a. Daniel 8:16-17 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.


b. Daniel 11:30- 40 therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.
31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him:

c. Daniel 12:3-4, 9
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.
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

d. Daniel 12:7-12 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.
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

ANSWERS

This is the 1st reponse I received on 3-29-10:

The Hebrews that existed during Messiah's first coming definitely misinterpreted and misapplied the word of Yahweh and as a result they knew not the time of their visitation.  How did they do this?  By continuing to CHOOSE to allow their minds to be persuaded by the propagation that was fed to them at that time.  When Yahweh originally created mankind, he gave us the free gift of choice.  Unfortunately, with this gift came the option for mankind to choose evil.  Since the fall of Adam and Eve, evil continues to be the preferred choice of the masses.  Everything from what is thought in our minds down to our actions results from our power (given to us by Yahweh) to choose.  If we continue to allow Satan to persuade us to choose evil over the good that Yahweh encourages us to choose, we will continue to follow in the footsteps of the Hebrews of old.  We will continue to misinterpret and misapply the word of Yahweh and completely miss out on the time of our visitation.
 
This is why Health Reform is so critical.  When we CHOOSE to eat unhealthy foods, this, in turn, sets the stage for Satan to deceive us and cause us to make other bad choices. On the other hand when we CHOOSE to eat healthy foods according to Yahweh's health plan this in turn sets the stage for Yahweh to encourage us and cause us to make other good choices.  The  kingdom of Yahweh is at hand.  However, the power is in our hands to CHOOSE it.  We must choose wisely or else be at risk of being told by Yahshua in Matthew 7:23, "...I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."  My prayer is that I continue to choose wisely and not have Yahshua say those words to me.
 
2nd part     
 
P. S.  Just a few quick side note questions.  I watched the DVD of People of Color in the Bible and a reference was made to the Ethopian Hebrews that descended from Menilik the son of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.  Where can I get more info on this son Menilik?  There are no references in the Bible of this son and I was wondering where did this son come from.
 
Also, I noticed that on the Calendar of Events page on the website, the cleansing programs seem to correspond with the feast days of Leviticus 23 (Passover, Pentecost, Blowing of the Trumpets, etc.) is there a particular reason for this?  Will there be a future discussion in the classes on Yahweh's biblical holy days as laid out in Leviticus 23? 
 
I've always had questions about these special feast days, but I've always been told that these were nailed to the cross and we didn't have to be concerned about them.  Then I would ask myself if they are not important to us today, then why is one of our major doctrines (the 2300 day prophecy) centered around October 22, 1844 which happened to fall on Yahweh's Day of Atonement for that year?  Why were the Hebrews assembled together on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1) after Yahshua had returned to heaven when the Holy Spirit gave the apostles the gift of tongues as they preached to the audience?  Why would Paul interupt his evangelist crusade in Asia just so he could make it back to Jerusalem in time for Pentecost (Acts 20:16) if these special days were no longer a concern? 
 
It concerns me that we pride ourselves on having the truth concerning the Sanctuary Doctrine, but to me it still appears to be "misinterpreted or misapplied."  Am I missing something?  Remember what I said previously that whenever someone gives me an "it doesn't matter" type of answer to a question that I am pondering a red flag goes up in my head?  Well this is another one of those red flags that's been in my head for quite some time and I haven't been able to get any straight answers.


This is the 2nd reponse I received on 3-31-10:

Since the Feast of Passover began on Tuesday with the 10 Day Oxygen Therapy Cleanse Program, we will be covering this Sabbath the meaning of YHWH's Calendar as it relates to the Feast Days and the Fullness of Time.

1) The homework for this week is to explain the Fullness of Time from your view point In light of the study we had last Sabbath on the Fullness of Time. The notes from the Fullness of Time are still on the web site for your reference and review.

The burden of Christ's preaching was, " The Time is fulfilled , and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." Mark 1:15 Thus the gospel message, as given by the Saviour Himself, was based on the prophecies. The "Time" which He declared to be fulfilled was the period made known by Gabriel to Daniel... Then the message was proclaimed, "The Time is fulfilled"... The time had come for the earthly sacrifice and oblation to cease. DA:233

2) How many Warning Messages were we given at the Messiah's 1st Coming which was to make us ready for his 2 st Coming?

I think you mentioned about nine in lecture five of which are listed in the answer for question 3

3) Please list the Warning Messages given to us at his 1st coming.

1. Zacharias as he ministered before the altar Luke 1:65 - 80

*See my answer in question 4

4) How many Warning Messages will we be given at the Messiah's 2nd Coming to prepare us to be ready for his 2nd Coming?

How many…. will be given? God warns in so many different ways who can count? People have individual warning, group warnings, nation warnings, world warnings.

5) Can the list of Warning Messages given to us at his 1st coming be repeated for his 2nd coming? – YES!

Is YHWH trying to tell us something by repeating history ?

14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. Ecclesiastes 3:14-15

  15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been ; and God requireth that which is past.

6) Can you list these Warning Message applications as they relate to today?

The parable of the mustard seed – COL 79

The parable of the ten virgins – Matt 25

The destruction of Jerusalem – GC22

7) How does YHWH's Calendar and Feast Days relate to his 1 st Coming and the time of the End?

…types were fulfilled , not only as to the event, but as to the time... In like manner the types which relate to the second advent must be fulfilled at the time pointed out in the symbolic service. GC: 399, 400

Comment: Five of the seven questions deal with warning messages. This lesson should be called warning messages.
