Prophecy teacher and author Kevin Swift invites you to check out The Kingdom Calendar Divine Dates of End-time Disaster & Deliverance and order his free Insights in Prophecy Lesson Guides that will take you through the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation, which ancient visions forewarn of WWIII and major global upheaval about to hit Planet Earth.   

The five prophetic time periods in Daniel ("seventy 'sevens'"--490 days, "2300 evenings and mornings" --1150 days, "time, times and a half"--1260 days, 1290 days and 1335 days) are directly connect to the often-repeated 1260 days (42 months; "time, times and a half") found five times in the book of Revelation.  The 3 1/2 days of Daniel (9:27)--"the  middle of the seven" and the 3 1/2 days of Revelation (11:9-11), when connected to the longer 3  1/2 year period, reveal a prophetic time chart that both begins and ends with Festival periods.  This alignment forecasts the fulfillment of end-time events known as the "times and seasons" of Biblical prophecy.

Names have meaning. Our names are given to us at birth, and often reflect our personality or tell a story.  My name Kevin means "handsome, beloved" and Swift means "one who is fast, a messenger".  You might enjoy checking out your own name.  Jesus--known in Hebrew as "Yeshua" means "salvation".  Names are important to God.  In fact, He promises to give you, if you persevere faithfully through trials, an intimate name that only you and Messiah will know: "To him who overcomes... I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it," Revelation 2:17.  

The white stone harks back to the ancient Roman custom of awarding white stones to the victors of athletic games. The winner of a contest was awarded a white stone with his name inscribed on it. This served as his “ticket” to a special awards banquet. Jesus promises the overcomers entrance to the eternal victory celebration in heaven. The “new name” refers to the Holy Spirit’s work of conforming and transforming the end-time faithful, even in martyrdom, to the holiness of Christ (see Romans 8:29; Colossians 3:10).

In the Word of God, our Creator also reveals Himself with over 200 names and titles. This brings home the fact that there is no one "who is like God"; He is indescribable. However, God attempts to help us know Him more fully with names such as "Advocate, Almighty, Alpha & Omega, Ancient of Days and Prince of Peace". He also refers to Himself as earth, food and liquid--"the Rock, Bread of Life and Living Water" and even animals--the "Lion and the Lamb". All these have spiritual meaning and offer insight into the One who loves us. However, creature names do not diminish or lower God, but raises Him to the Highest and Holiest above all. He is all things to all of His creation in Heaven and on earth.

Our first lesson focuses on Daniel 12, and we see Michael-- the Prince "shall stand up" from a seated position--a position of authority and thrones; what follows is both earth-shaking and life-giving.  In this regard, Messiah is the ultimate "malak" in Hebrew--meaning "messenger"--the Messenger of our Salvation.

Some believe Jesus could rapture the Church at any moment.  Others say He won’t do so until the middle of the tribulation.  Still others place the rapture at the very end of the tribulation period.  Are any of them right, or could the Bible teach a different option altogether?

Pretribulation rapturism teaches that Christ will rapture the saved before a seven year tribulation period or what is called the seventieth week of Daniel, thereby saving the church from end-time persecution and martyrdom.  Although not new, this view gained wider acceptance in recent times by the Left Behind book series, but what has been left behind is the real truth.

We've all experienced those moments... the unexpected phone call or knock on the door that instantly changed our lives. It can be deeply personal, like the death of a loved one, a health scare or a criminal act. It can be a national event; for example, like the day the Space Shuttle Challenger blew up, the morning of September 11th, or the December 26, 2004 Indian Ocean 9.1 earthquake and tsunami that killed over 200,000 people, when we woke up unimaginable loss of human lives.

On the other hand, the Scriptures offer clear warning about an event that will rock the world, which should not take Bible students by total surprise... occurring on a day like any other day, when we are going about our normal activities--the day final events begin. How long we will be held in suspense of this day, and the coming Messiah? That question has been asked for centuries.

Testimonial

I've been struggling recently about withdrawing my membership and spend time just letting the Holy Spirit teach me. For He's been doing it. Your insight, knowledge and wisdom confirms that for me too. Just reading your website, gave me a breath of fresh air. I've even concluded from my research and studies so far, that it is Jerusalem that is the city which sits on 7 hills that will be desolate and destroyed....not so much Rome or the papacy as commonly viewed by most Adventists.

A view of the Scriptures, which I believe follows the evidence, involves the rapture (or taking up) of a partial group (not all) of believers at the voice of God. The book of Revelation introduces many fascinating prophecies about God's final plans. Revelation 20:4-6 is no exception. Let's add some commentary to what we are reading.

"I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge [24 elders]. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded [martyred saints; chosen ones; overcomers] because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands [clearly identified as the tribulation saints of the last days, who resisted the Beast and his mark]. They came to life [in resurrection] and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (The rest of the dead [of previous times/ages] did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years."

We see Anti-Semitism accelerating and growing around the world, and we can be sure this is a sign that the end of this age is drawing closer.  Yeshua forewarned, “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me," Matthew 24:9.  As global turmoil accelerates, so will hatred of the Jews and anyone else who looks similar in terms of worship and beliefs.

Worship at the Western Wall and Temple Mount will be taken away, according to Bible prophecy--(Read Prophecy's Warning for Jerusalem & Israel).  The last generation of overcomers have God's promise of the final unsealing of prophecy--including a more thorough understanding of final events that center around the mysterious 1,290 days and 1,335 days of Daniel 12, which says, "From the time that the daily [worship]... is abolished [at the Western Wall & Temple Mount] and the abomination that causes desolation is set up [on the Temple Mount], there will be 1,290 days. Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days."  In other words, a disastrous tragedy such as an earthquake (link) (link) (link) and war will soon stop daily worship at the Western Wall and Temple Mount.
