Welcome To Brian's Study!

Viewing Events:   With each e-mail you are in the clouds, i.e. communicating via the airways (cyberspace).   So, yes, everyone will meet or see both Satan (the false Messiah) (Revelation 14:14) and, later, Jesus (the true Messiah) "in the clouds" (Revelation 1:7).   Indeed, if you lived a few thousand years ago without TV and the Internet (the great Trumpet of Exodus 19:11-19; etc.) how else could the Prophets describe events?

Betrothal To GOD:   O.K., Scripture indicates that GOD betrothed the Firstfruits unto Himself before the LORD'S Day began (Revelation 7:1-8; Hosea 2:19-20).   Note the half-hour (21 years) (Revelation 8:1) commenced when the LORD'S Day began sunset 16 April 1996 EST (Revelation 6:17).   Later, during the Fifth Seal the oppressors were not to hurt those who were sealed (Revelation 9:4).   Even Jesus had been "sealed" (John 6:27).   The need for being sealed is described in Jeremiah 30:23-24 ... it's a form of protection and acceptance (Revelation 7:1-3; 9:4).

Events Leading To Atonement Year:   Scripture speaks of various blessings.   For example, the year 6000 FC was the 120^th Jubilee year (120 cycles, Genesis 6:3; times 50 years/cycle, Leviticus 25:8-10; equals 6000 years).   So, the sixth year after that Jubilee year (6006 FC) was when blessings were announced for 3 years (i.e. 6007, 6008, and 6009 FC) (Leviticus 25:15,19-22).   Remember, 6010 FC (i.e. Spring 2005 to Spring 2006 AD) is Atonement year when the Father gives the Betrothed Bride unto His Son (Exodus 21:9; Daniel 7:13-14,18; Revelation 11:15-18).   Those ten years also appear to be referenced in Revelation 2:10 as "... some of you ... shall have tribulation ten days (i.e. ten years)...."

Moving The Dial:   Let's back up a mite and insert GOD'S Holy Days using one day as a year.   Start with the 14 preparation years through Passover (Exodus 12:1-14).   Therein the tenth year is set up for the separation of the Lambs (Exodus 12:3).   Now when we move the dial first back in the days of Ahaz, Daniel's 2625 years (Daniel 12:11-12) extend through 6000 FC.   And when the dial is restored ten years then events of Passover, the Separation of the Lambs, and one Unleavened Bread must also move ten years.   Confusing?   (Daniel 12:11-12; II Kings 20:1-11; Isaiah 14:28; 38:8; 37:3; Revelation 2:10).   Passover's events now coincide with Atonement Year (6010 FC).   Whereas, the new or moved time for the Separation of the Lambs indicates that the First of the Firstfruits may have got a "shot in the arm" in 6006 FC (i.e. the 42 year-hour began following 5986 + 10 = 5996 + 10 = 6006 FC).

Completing The Firstfruits:   Next, the Egyptian Exodus of Israelites began on one Unleavened Bread (Numbers 33:3; Leviticus 23:6).   So, the Main Harvest of the Firstfruits may get their "you got it made" following Atonement Year (i.e. the 15^th day of the year 6011 FC).   That's 6001 plus 10 years moving the dial equals 6011 FC.   Next, the Gleanings of the Firstfruits get their O.K. when Salvation is about to close at the end of Daniel's 62^nd year (i.e. when 6014 FC ends).   Meanwhile, the Gleanings of the Firstfruits can expect great tribulations from 6010 FC through 6014 FC because of their procrastinations (Revelation 14:14-20).

The Image Arrives:   Note:   Satan comes as the False Messiah on Atonement Year.   He's the he goat sacrificed and led into the wilderness on Atonement (Leviticus 16:7-10,15-22).   That's when he seduces even a third of the potential Firstfruits (Revelation 12:4; Daniel 4:34-37; 10:5-6).   Check out the "vision" mentioned in Daniel 10:7-8.   It is of the Mar'âh described in Exodus 38:8 (KJV) as "lookingglasses".   Thus, readers should readily recognize the description of Daniel 10:5-6 as the great image, Satan, who comes to establish his Eighth Kingdom which extends unto the midst of the Eighth Millennium, "the end of these wonders" (Daniel 12:6-7).

Events Culminate In 6000 FC:   Now back to the 42 Year-Hour wherein we dwell.   Although Jesus received His Kingdom, His Betrothed Bride, He doesn't come to consummate His marriage until the year of the glorious Solemn Assembly (Leviticus 23:36,39; Zephaniah 3:18; Revelation 19:1-9; 20:4; 21:3-7; 22:1-5,14; Jeremiah 23:3-8; etc.

Two Temples:   Jesus is coming to the Firstfruits, a group of people whose names include "Jerusalem".   I doubt very much if He will concern Himself with the "bloody city".   The Firstfruits, of course, will be His Temple; whereas, Satan and his followers (i.e. those not amongst the Firstfruits) will build a Temple and worship therein in order to lessen or lighten the 1,000 years of afflictions to come upon them.   And Satan will sit in that edifice which will be the throne over his Eighth Kingdom.

The Scene Of The Action:   Meanwhile, everything will take place here on planet earth.   Oh, people will still be exploring and venturing into space.   Watch as the world technology continues to modernize beyond humanity's most utopian dreams.   The Firstfruits will be as Kings and be totally free to do as they please while the world serves them (Isaiah 14:2; 61:5; etc.).   The "lake of fire" that the Tares continue dwelling in is this world without the bounties of GOD.   That's why Daniel's 3 friends (Jews, Christians, and Moslems) even today are dwelling in the fiery furnace with one "like" the son of GOD (Daniel 3:25; Deuteronomy 4:20; Jeremiah 11:4).

Binding The Image:   Note:   During the 1,000 years already underway Satan will be somewhat bound.   That is, the Firstfruits will be protected.   Then when the potential Main Harvest realize they were left out, there will be multitudes recognizing the errors of their ways and the potential "Saints" will stick together, one will help another, etc.   Thus, during the 1,000 years Satan will be limited (bound) with respect to their cooperation.   Later he gets to really harm the Latter Harvest as they will be far fewer than the Main Harvest (Daniel 7:18,22,25,27).

Laying Out GOD'S Schedule:   After Salvation closes the Great Multitude may realize that they should have observed GOD'S Seven Annual Holy Days, His New Moons prefiguring Atonement Year, and the Seventh Day of each week which prefigures the Seventh Millennial Day, the LORD'S Day.   Yes, GOD'S Holy Days lay out GOD'S Schedule Of Events in the first of three 42 year-hours which is a template of the other two hours yet to come (Colossians 2:16-17).
