(Daniel 11:1) Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.
(Daniel 11:2) And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.
(Daniel 11:3) And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
(Daniel 11:4) And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.
(Daniel 11:5) And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.
(Daniel 11:6) And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times.
(Daniel 11:7) But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:
(Daniel 11:8) And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north.
(Daniel 11:9) So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.
(Daniel 11:10) But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress.
(Daniel 11:11) And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand.
(Daniel 11:12) And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it.
(Daniel 11:13) For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.
(Daniel 11:14) And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.
(Daniel 11:15) So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.
(Daniel 11:16) But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.
(Daniel 11:17) He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.
(Daniel 11:18) After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him.
(Daniel 11:19) Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.
(Daniel 11:20) Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
(Daniel 11:21) And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
(Daniel 11:22) And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
(Daniel 11:23) And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
(Daniel 11:24) He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
(Daniel 11:25) And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.
(Daniel 11:26) Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.
(Daniel 11:27) And both these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.
(Daniel 11:28) Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.
(Daniel 11:29) At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.
(Daniel 11:30) For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: 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.
(Daniel 11:31) 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.
(Daniel 11:32) 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.
(Daniel 11:33) 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.
(Daniel 11:34) Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
(Daniel 11:35) 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.
(Daniel 11:36) 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.
(Daniel 11:37) 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.
(Daniel 11:38) 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.
(Daniel 11:39) 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.
(Daniel 11:40) And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
(Daniel 11:41) He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
(Daniel 11:42) He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
(Daniel 11:43) But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
(Daniel 11:44) But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.
(Daniel 11:45) 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.
(Daniel 12:1) And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
(Daniel 12:2) And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
(Daniel 12:3) And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
(Daniel 12:4) 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.
(Daniel 12:5) Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
(Daniel 12:6) And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
(Daniel 12:7) 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.
(Daniel 12:8) And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
(Daniel 12:9) And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
(Daniel 12:10) 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.
(Daniel 12:11) 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.
(Daniel 12:12) Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
(Daniel 12:13) But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

Revelation Chapter 12:
1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 1193). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.
Previous Bible commentators have taken this as a symbolic vision about Israel (Mary) giving birth to Jesus, and marking the start of the 3 1/2 year Great Tribulation.
However, since “knowledge had increased”, we can use star charting programs such as Stellarium to see that this could be a literal “great sign” in heaven.
The constellation “Virgo”, the Virgin, has always been identified with Mary the Mother of Jesus. The nine stars of Leo, the Lion (of Judah), form a “garland” above her head.
Jupiter has always been identified as the “King” star. It is striped (by His stripes we are healed) and has a large, red spot (they pierced His side).
Here is the sequence of events regarding the Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Virgo, Leo, Mercury, Mars and Venus
Mon, 21 November 2016 = 20th of Cheshvan, 5777
Jupiter enters Virgo crossing line from Spica to Porrima
Sat, 28 January 2017 = 1st of Sh’vat, 5777
Jupiter retrograde motion begins inside Virgo. “Gestation” begins??
Sat, 10 June 2017 = 16th of Sivan, 5777
Jupiter prograde motion resumes inside Virgo
Thu, 17 August 2017 = 25th of Av, 5777
Total Solar eclipse across America (from Portland to Charleston)
Sun, 10 September 2017 = 19th of Elul, 5777
Jupiter crosses Heze — Spica line. Virgin gives birth? Conjunction Regulus and Mercury
Wed, 20 September 2017 = 29th of Elul, 5777
New Moon, Venus — Regulus conjunction
Sun, 24 September 2017 = 4th of Tishrei, 5778
Sun at Virgo’s shoulders (clothed), the Moon is at her feet, Mercury, Mars, Venus are added to Leo’s nine stars as Virgo’s 12-star ‘garland’
The great sign in the heaven is complete. This formation has not happened in the past 6000 years and won’t happen again for at least another 2000 years.
Luke 21
25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
26 “men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 “Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 1023). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

Graphic says 23 September 2017, as it depends on where you say Virgo’s feet are. Besides, no one knows the day or the hour.
I don’t know for sure if Daniel’s 70th week has started. Sir Issac Newton’s calculation, which required Israel to be back in the land with control of Jerusalem (June 1967) worked out to September 2015. We don’t know if the Anti-Christ confirmed a seven year treaty back then, but it is possible. The colors of the Four Horsemen are White, Red, Black, and, while it is translated as “Pale”, the Greek can be translated as “Green”. These are the colors of the Islamic Nations that are going up against Israel.
The Revelation 12:1-2 Great Sign in the Heavens if September 23-24, 2017, so that would be two years into the Seventieth Week. The Revelation 12:3-4 sign is no where to be seen. However, there are reports of perturbations in the Cassini spacecraft orbit around Saturn, so the “great, fiery red dragon, may be out there as a brown dwarf, which would explain why the Vatican is operating an infrared telescope, called Project Lucifer, here in Arizona.
While there are folks who think that the “called out ones”, usually called the Church, will escape the entire Seventh Week, as I read it we are only offered escape from the final 3 1/2 years if we are counted as worthy, or just before the Anit-Christ is finally revealed, which ever comes first.
So we could very well be in the first half of the Tribulation, or Time of Jacobs Trouble. The thing with Bible Prophecy is that you only really know, for sure, after the event has happened.
So read your Bible and Pray! Do what the Holy Spirit leads you to do in this world, but don’t be too attached to it! Maranatha!

Revelation 12
3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.
4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born.

NEVER shudda asked. Prepare to be "cut and pasted" to death.
Please don’t take this personally, but through the years I’ve gained a very healthy skepticism of anyone claiming to be able to interpret Biblical Prophecy. Very few have the gift though many claim to.
Yep! :-)
List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events
They are as reliable as Climate Scientists
[[Please dont take this personally, but through the years Ive gained a very healthy skepticism of anyone claiming to be able to interpret Biblical Prophecy. Very few have the gift though many claim to.]]
These updates are current event updates that pertain to the nation of Israel and things going on around the world that tie to scripture , they are not people making up prophecy.
This is not predicting an apocalyptic event. This is observing that modern star charting software predicts an astronomical configuration that exactly matches two verses in the Revelation of Jesus Christ. I have personally run the software back to -4000 BC and forward to +4000 AD and this configuration only appears once, on September 23-24, 2017.
Now if you do not find this interesting, then please remember this: When they tell you that you have to have a mark on your right hand, or on your forehead to be able to buy or sell anything, DO NOT TAKE IT! They will probably cut off you head, but that is better than what happens if the take the Mark of the Beast.

So, any idea what event that date represents?
I saw something on the internet about the numbers 9/23 back in Sept that was connected with all the Jonathan Cahn and Shemitah stuff.
But nothing panned out this year.
It is the first “dating” verse in Revelation. So it could be the start of the seventieth week or something significant like Psalm 83 or Ezk 38. There is a total solar eclipse that literally slashes across the US in August 2017 and then completes the X in 2024. So I am not sure exactly what it signifies, but it is something “Biblical” ;-)
So, an attack on Israel?
I really don’t know. It could be an attack on the US followed by and attack on Israel. The attack on the US could also be a cover for the Rapture of the Church. The thing about Bible Prophecy is that you only know for sure what meant what after it happens. Here is another look at Ezekiel 38, based on what is going on now.
Actually, I think Trump will win, but the prospect of a Trump Presidency will cause the Russians and the Iranians to preemptively attack the US as part of their attack on Israel.
In Ezekiel 38, two distinct attacks are described. Biblical scholars have always taken them both to be about Israel, but only the second description specifically mentions Israel. The first is more general, and is hard to fit with the walled cities of current Israel. But it fits the United States pretty well.
10 “Thus says the Lord GOD: “On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind,
and you will make an evil plan:
11 “You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages;
I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’—
12 “to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited,
and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land.
13 “Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all their young lions will say to you,
‘Have you come to take plunder? Have you gathered your army to take booty,
to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’ “
Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (pp. 845-846). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.
That pretty much describes a pre-Trump America. Particularly the part, “against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land.”
Then YHWH, through Ezekiel, continues:
14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD:
“On that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it?
15 “Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you,
all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army.
16 “You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land.
It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me,
when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.”
17 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel,
who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them?
18 “And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord GOD,
“that My fury will show in My face.
19 “For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken:
‘Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel,
20 ‘so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field,
all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth
shall shake at My presence. The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall,
and every wall shall fall to the ground.’
21 “I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains,” says the Lord GOD.
“Every man’s sword will be against his brother.
22 “And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed;
I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain,
great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
23 “Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations.
Then they shall know that I am the LORD.” ‘
Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 846). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.
So, that is why I say to everyone: “Repent! The Kingdom of God is at hand!”
Romans 10
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”
(that is, the word of faith which we preach):
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.
13 For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”
Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (pp. 1100-1101). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.
Psalm 83
1 Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God!
2 For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.
Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 576). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.
Well, things sure could get interesting in the next year.
For all the difference it may or may not make, I bought a new vehicle recently.
Mine was getting older and I thought that with these elections and the economy etc, (threat of terrorist attack) things could become pretty scarce. It might not be a bad idea to get something really reliable and new so that it won’t need much in the way of maintenance for a while, and while our money still has some value left to it.
I saw something on the internet about the numbers 9/23 back in Sept that was connected with all the Jonathan Cahn and Shemitah stuff.
But nothing panned out this year.

Actually we can’t know for sure. There was a big dip in the Stock Market, and if you look back you see that his is when ISIS/ISIL/IS first became prominent in the news.
Sir Issac Newton’s calculation was based on Israel getting control of Jerusalem as the countdown to the start of Daniel’s Seventieth Week. That was the 9/23/2015 date. Did the Anti-Christ confirm a seven year covenant with many on that date, and it hasn’t been announced? I can’t find anywhere that indicates that the Church has to leave before the Seventieth Week occurs. We are only guaranteed to be out of her before the Anti-Christ is revealed. When Paul says that the “dead in Christ will be raised first”, he doesn’t give any indication of the spacing before that and “we who are still here will be caught up to meet Jesus in the air”.
The boundaries of the dispensations don’t have to be discrete times. The Jewish sacrifices in the Temple continued for 40 more years after Jesus “fulfilled the law”, until the Jews finally pissed of Titus so much that he sacked Jerusalem and took down the Temple stone by stone to get the melted gold. So Daniel’s Seventieth Week could start before the Age of the Gentiles/Church is over.
The point is to watch and occupy until He comes for us. Always recognizing that we can’t understand everything and the His Will will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.
