If we compare Dan. 7:25; 12:7, with Rev. 11:2,3,9,12, and 12:6,14, we will find that these prophecies measure the same length of time. In symbolic language, a “time” is composed of twelve months, of thirty years each (a day symbolizes a year). A symbolic year is 360 literal years, and 3½ of these years, or [...]
The foundation of the great abomination of desolation rests in the doctrine of the Mass. The Mass substitutes human (priests’) performances in place of the great sacrifice of Calvary, for the cleansing away of sin. Jesus’ sacrifice was “once for all,” Romans 6:10. “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust…” [...]
1. Psalm 22:1, “To the Chief Musician. Set to ‘The Deer of the Dawn. A Psalm of David. ‘My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, And from the words of My groaning?” This fulfillment was recorded in Mathew 27:46, “And about the ninth hour Jesus [...]

Yes, Israel was carried captive to Babylon; there an Image was set up, and all were commanded to worship it. Babylon is a type or shadow of the nominal church. Thus the name Babylon (Confusion) is applied to it in Revelation. Papacy was the greatest confusion or mixture of the church and the world. Sadly, [...]
We are students of prophecy, not prophets. The following presents one interpretation of these scriptures. We are not dogmatic as there are other reasonable views. A different interpretation may be posted in the future. “Saying to them that dwell on the earth (independent companies of Christians) that they should make an Image to the Beast [...]
“If any man hath an ear, let him hear.” (Verse 9.) Some Christians had carefully studied God’s word and who had the hearing of faith. They honored God and His word, despite the magnificence, success, and power of error. These dear ones would be able to receive the foregoing scriptures concerning the deceptions of Papacy. [...]
Daniel 9 and Matthew 24 are referring to two different things. The scriptures our Lord quoted from Daniel are 8:13; 11:31 and 12:11, which we will explain later. Daniel 9 Interpretation As with any scripture, the context must be considered, and every piece must fit - similar to putting together a puzzle. Daniel 9:23-27 is [...]
Zechariah 4:2-6, 11-14 (NIV), “‘What do you see?’ I answered, ‘I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven channels to the lamps. Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left.’ I [...]
