The King of the North is laying down the infrastructure

Daniel 11:40-45 gives us the History of the time of the end,The very time in which we are living in. We are presently between verse 40 and 41 . He shall enter into the glorious land and None shall escape his hand ,Edom ,Moab and the chief of the children of Amon.

Glorious Land = USA

Edom,Moab and Amon= Apostate protestantism

Hand= Sunday law

Just close by we have Daniel 12:1 when probation close for man. This in itself is a different study.

A simple study could be found here. The advance study has more details here pages 36-69

The King of the North is laying down the infrastructure. This tells me the implementation will be swift,sudden and surprising to many. WAKE UP REMNANT PEOPLE OF GOD. ITS GONNA HIT AND ITS GONNA HIT HARD.

Revelation 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

This the weakening the bringing down of Babylon ,then it will fall.

Who or what is the great River Euphrates and who are the Kings of the East?

LEST LOOK IN THE PAST FOR THE ANSWERS IN THE FUTURE.

STATEMENT :

"The books of Daniel and the Revelation are one. One is a prophecy, the other a revelation; one a book sealed, the other a book opened"
SDA Bible commentary page971

"In the Revelation all the books of the Bible meet and end. Here is the complement of the book of Daniel. One is a prophecy; the other a revelation. The book that was sealed is not the Revelation, but that portion of the prophecy of Daniel relating to the last days."
Acts of the Apostles page585

"When the books of Daniel and Revelation are better understood, believers will have an entirely different religious experience. They will be given such glimpses of the open gates of heaven that heart and mind will be impressed with the character that all must develop in order to realize the blessedness which is to be the reward of the pure in heart."

Answers in the past

The question is "Who or what is the great River Euphrates and who are the Kings of the East?

When Belshazzar 's kingdom fell it was by whom ?

Daniel 5:31 And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.
Answer :Darius

How did he take the kingdom what was his war strategy ?

Seeing the immense size of Babylon, he knew there was no way to bring the walls down or scale them with any success. Learning of the feast that was to take place, Cyrus decided to divert the river Euphrates and march his army in when the water level was low enough. With this accomplished, his army marched in, and if it were not for two gates that had been left ajar, they would have had to march out the other side as there were walls and gates down both sides of the river.

On gaining access to the inside of the city, they quickly subdued it and put the king to death. Thus ending the short reign of Babylon over the then known world.

Cyrus was from the East.
When Jesus comes the second time, as described in Revelation 16:12. In this verse we see the drying up of the River Euphrates so as to prepare the way for the kings of the east.

Cyrus was a type of Christ he brought freedom to the children of Israel captured Babylon.

The drying up of the River Euphrates represents a cutting off of all earthly support from the Papacy(Spiritual Babylon) at the end of the world When babylon will fall again.Rivers,water see represents people hence The papacy will have no support..All earthly support will be terminated.

Daniel 11:44 shows that tidings out of the East will trouble him ..This is the tidings.. The loud cry of the 4th angel will bring down Babylon.

...yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. Dan11:45

Through the three fold power--beast dragon and false prophet--the son of perdition is placed once more in control but only for a short time. Almost as soon as he is put in place and has FULL CONTROL he is taken back out an hour the Bible says by the dragon and false prophet. After that Jesus returns.

Its a Good time to note the "Triple Action" of prophecy happens here

1.Wise men ..good tidings from east..troubled Herod (Pagan King)
2.Cirus ..came from east..troubled Belshazzar(Pagan King)
3.Kings of the east..tidings Daniel 11:44..Troubled Papacy (Paganism Baptized)

When you add the first two histories 1+2= history of the 3rd

Check out other triple action that relates to you and the time in which you live.

after you been through this study.Triple action in the Woes of Revelation (Islam)

Triple action int the 3 Elijahs

Moving on ,Note the Scripture:

'And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain;yet he shall come to his end and none shall help him.And AT THAT TIME shall MICHAEL STAND UP..'{Dan 11:45;12:1}
The Bible ,does not say that the Papacy comes to her end BEFORE MICHAEL STANDS UP.It tells us that during the time of the PLAGUES,WHEN MICHAEL STANDS UP,that is when the Papacy will be destroyed totally. The coming to Her end is the weakening process. It's also during THAT TIME when Jesus comes ,this will be her final end.

The 5th plague therefore,falls correctly in the context of Daniel 11:45 and Daniel 12:1.I hope that helps shed more light on this subject.

Revelation 16:12
And the 6th angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates;and the water thereof was dried up,that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

The 6th plague can be better understood in the light of the 6TH TRUMPET.
Revelation 9:13-15 which weakened Rome in the past this is the 2nd woe of Islam.
And the 6th angel sounded..Loose the 4 angels which are bound in the GREAT RIVER EUPHRATES.And the 4 angels were loosed,which were prepared 4 an hour,& a day,& a month,& a year,for to SLAY the third part of men.
The 6th Trumpet:
The slaying of the support of the Papacy,didn't directly destroy her.But it placed her in a position that when France would attack her in 1798,she would fall,with none to come to her help.But in that same year we see Rome's daughters arise to carry her agenda-Apostate Protestantism.

The 6th Plague:
The slaying(removal)of the support of the Papacy,does not directly destroy her.But it places her in a position,that when Jesus comes& puts an end to her kingdom,there'll be none who will come to her help.....And this time, not even another power who will carry her agenda.Truly,it can be said,that SHE WILL COME TO HER END WITH NONE TO HELP HER.

The glorious holy mountain,verse 45 is not speaking of LITERAL JERUSALEM.It is speaking of SPIRITUAL JERUSALEM.

Note these statements From the Inspired pen
'The city of Jerusalem is NO LONGER A SACRED PLACE.The curse of God is upon it because of the rejection and crucifixion of Christ.'{RH,July 30, 1901}

'In our largest CHURCHES the greatest evils exist,because these have had the greatest light..They have forfeited the terms of peace;there is reason for an alarm to be sounded in all 'MY HOLY MOUNTAIN'.The sinners in ZION should be afraid..'{RH,Dec23,1890}

God has shown me about some trying2get a substitute after the time has passed,some would get Jesus upon the GREAT white cloud,OTHERS WOULD BE LOOKING2 OLD JERUSALEM,OR AS THEY CALLED IT THE AGE-TO-COME.'{4MR, 404}

'We should be gathering up every ray of divine light,NOT LOOKING to OLD JERUSALEM where Christ was once,but to the NEW JERUSALEM where He is now.'

{The Paulson Collection,138-139}

Glorious= Goodly; in sense of prominence

GLORIOUS MOUNTAIN= CANAAN:

'I pray thee,let me go over,& see the good land that is beyond Jordan,that GOODLY MOUNTAIN,& Lebanon.'{Deut 3:25}

HOLY MOUNTAIN=God's Temple/Church:
Isa 56:7;Ezek 20:40;Dan 9:16,20;Psalm 48:1,2;Isaiah 51:16;Joel 2:1;Joel 3:17;Zech 8:3

When did the HOLY MOUNTAIN become SPIRITUAL ISRAEL?Luke gives the answer....
Matthew 24:3
'..what shall be the SIGN of Thy coming, and of the end of the world?'

The disciples were seeking for a SINGULAR event,which would tell them that CHRIST WAS ABOUT TO COME.

The Answer: Mark 13:28
'Now learn a parable of the FIG TREE;WHEN HER branch is yet TENDER,&putteth forth leaves,ye KNOW that SUMMER IS NEAR.'

Luke 21:29
'And He spake to them a parable;Behold the FIG TREE,& ALL THE TREES;WHEN they[FIG TREE],now SHOOT forth,ye see &KNOW of your own selves that SUMMER IS NOW NIGH AT HAND.'

THE FIG TREE

Proverbs 27:18
'Whoso keepeth the FIG TREE shall eat the fruit thereof: SO HE THAT WAITETH ON HIS MASTER shall be honoured.'

Someone waiting for the Master is an Advent believer.

Hosea 9:10
'I found ISRAEL like grapes in the wilderness;I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the FIG TREE...'

Israel is the FIG TREE

So who are the 'other trees'?

Answer: The Gentiles.

What does Shoot means ?

Answer: Sprout;Bud;The BEGINNINGS of the GROWTH of Israel.

But this is NOT talking about the 1ST TIME ISRAEL WAS GATHERED AS A PEOPLE....
The context is given in the verse:'..WHEN her branch is yet TENDER,& putteth forth leaves,ye know that SUMMER is near.'{Mark 13:28}

The context is the END OF THE WORLD.

So there'll come a point in time when God,for the SECOND TIME will gather an 'Israel' to Himself,at the END OF THE WORLD.This will be a time,according to Luke 21:29,when there will be a CLEAR DISTINCTION being made between ISRAEL & 'all the trees'- the Gentiles.

WHEN did God for the SECOND TIME gather an 'Israel'2 Himself,where there was a DISTINCTION.. ?
between ISRAEL & the GENTILE world?

Luke 21:24 '..&Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles,UNTIL THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES BE FULFILLED.'

So at the TERMINATION of the TRAMPLING DOWN of Jerusalem,THAT is the TIME when the 'TIMES OF THE GENTILES' will be FULFILLED,FINISHED.

Rev 11:2 'But the court which is without the temple leave out,& measure it not;for it is given unto the Gentiles:and THE HOLY CITY SHALL THEY TREAD UNDER FOOT FORTY&TWO MONTHS.'

The TRAMPLING DOWN of Jerusalem(HOLY CITY)...

TERMINATED in 1798(Rev 11:2)

Jerusalem being trodden down,is NOT the LITERAL Jerusalem being spoken of in Luke.It's SPIRITUAL JERUSALEM(God's ppl).

At 1798,is when the 'TIMES OF THE GENTILES'CEASED.

At 1798,God began to grow an 'Israel' unto Himself for the SECOND TIME;and it wasn't literal Israel,but spiritual Israel.

This 'Gathering Time'extended until October 22nd,1844,when God DENOMINATED a peoplel;MARRIED a people and gave the LAW to His ppl.Mount Sinai was REPEATED...

Mount Sinai
'And all the ppl saw the THUNDERINGS,&the LIGHTNINGS..'{Exodus 20:18}

October 22,1844
'And the temple of God was opened in heaven,&there was seen in His temple THE ARK OF HIS TESTAMENT:& there were LIGHTNINGS,and voices,and THUNDERINGS..'{Rev 11:19}

The Millerite history gets REPEATED to THE VERY LETTER.So when we see 1798 repeated,you can be SURE that God has begun to gather a people e unto Himself for the harvest.Not a new denomination,but the development of the REMNANT.This is the SIGN of the coming of Christ.

It took 46 years to build the temple.And sure enough, from 1798 to 1844, is 46 years!God was rearing up the spiritual temple.

Isaiah 11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

Would God gather a 3rd and final time.the same way he
1. Gathered Israel at Sinai where the law be the center.?
2. Gather His people in 1844 where the law (Sabbath)was central ?

Is he going to do it like this.
3. Gather a residue where the law (sunday Law) is the center.? Is this the 4th angel in action in Revelation 18 the other voice. Is this the latter rain experience ..

I think it is.

Are you ready for Jesus to come . Are you ready for the Little time of trouble and the great time of trouble. Are you prepare to face the close of your probation.

Are you ridding your self of the filthiness of the flesh and having Christ in you, the Hope of Glory Col 1:26,27.

These are the questions we need to ask ourselves now.

Amen.
