Understanding the expression "No man knows the day or hour" is not possible by simply taking the English translation literally, because in the book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation, we are given EXACT descriptions of timing, relative to KEY events - such as the shutting down of the altar sacrifices in Jerusalem at the MID-POINT of the 70th week. Dan 9:27

Except that the word sacrifice is not in those passages in Daniel. The word is tamid, an adverb that was made into a definite noun. The book of Daniel is the only place the tamid is made into a stand alone noun, so the interpretors 'know better' and add it to the translations, upon which are based the theories, which go downhill from there.

Jesus was asked, "When shall these things be?" Matt 24:3

His answer ties us in to a very specific event (The Abomination of Desolation) which can be measured on our calendars: "When you therefore shall see the Abomination Of Desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoever reads, let him understand:)..." Matt 24:15.

Daniel was a prophet in chapters 2, 4, and 5, to the kings and kingdom of Babylon. Here is the writing that was written: Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin. Whoever reads, let him understand.

The cornerstone of the end times prophecy House of Merchandize was laid down in 1970 with the publication of the Late Great Planet Earth.

John 2

13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

Here is the writing that was written: Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin. Whoever reads, let him understand.

Like what happened to the political Establishment in 2016 at the election of President Trump. *Trump*. It's already done for, now only a matter of formalities.

To: Ezekiel

“Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin” literally means “numbered, numbered, weighed, divided”.

Just be clear, it does not mean “Whoever reads, let him understand.”

You probably know that, but for they way you’ve written it, it isn’t clear you’re not saying that.
