'This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But perhaps it is the end of the beginning.' - Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)
It is not possible to overstate the importance of understanding this chapter of Daniel. The transgression causing desolation of Daniel 8 was the Watchower signing the UN NGO agreement on 1992January28. The placing of the disgusting thing causing desolation in Daniel 12 was not the effect of this agreement. The agreement joined the WTBTS of New York which was the temple of the Watchtower, to the UN, which is the throne of Satan. That put Satan's throne in the temple of the Watchtower. That is the abomination that causes desolation to that temple. The LWs first saw this clearly on 2008Iyyar20 (just before midnight on May 26th). But this cannot be what causes the lossof the constant feature, since the sin was paid for on 2001Tishri30 with the loss of the water baptism. So there was yet another sin which resulted in the abomination causing desolation begin placed. This was the first agreement between the Watchtower and Laodicea, under which Laodiceans agreed not to evangelise any LW understandings to anyone outside the Watchtower and not to communicate with the LWs at all etc etc. God;s response was, fine, if you will not evangelise my interpretations (as understood by the LWs) then you will not evangelise on my behalf at all, so on 2004Elul14=2004September1, the first day of the Watchtower field service year, they became a false church and lost the constant feature, which is the appointment of the sons of the 1AC. The LWs were appointed over them on 2004Elul17. So the transgression causing desolation did lead to a placing of the disgusting thing (the throne of Satan in the Watchtower temple) immediately. But the disgusting thing causing desolation to the Watchtower was the the silencing agreement with Laodicea. This showed no faith in God and therefore ended the 1AC status of the Watchtower and Laodicea.
When Judas bursts in his midst after the first fire sign and spills his guts. The abomination agreement will he seen. That is when true Christians are advised to run to the hills of the congregations of the LWs. So from that day it will be possible to see the disgusting thing causing desolation standing in the holy place as spoken through Daniel the prophet, let the reader use discernment (Matthew 24:15).
40 And in the time of [the] end the king of the south will engage with him in a pushing, and against him the king of the north will storm with chariots and with horsemen and with many ships; and he will certainly enter into the lands and flood over and pass through... (Daniel 11).
1 And during that time [t(] [End-time: the time of the end of Daniel11:40. From 2008Nisan14, the end of the word judicially, until 2012Chislev27, the end of the world physically. This is not one time long. Neither was its first presence predecessor, which ran from sometime after 69Tishri15, the beginning of winter in the land sabbath year of 69Tishri-70Tishri, to the Diaspora. That period contained a time of distress from 69Tishri16 to 70Tishri15 or thereabouts. The time of the end of FDS1 and of FDS3 runs from 69Nisan and 1996Nisan14 when they lost authority over the saints judicially to the day when they become a false church, i.e. lost their authority over the sons of the 1AC. This was 2004Elul14 in the case of the Watchtower] he will stand up Michael, the prince, the great, [a triple designation so 3 word symbolic meanings plus the literal meaning. These refer to the end of Jewish system, end of world, end of FDS1 and end of FDS3] the [one] standing in behalf of the sons of your people [starting from 2011Heshvan17 - 2011Chislev27, the flood of 1NC saints resurrected as humans. This standing only occurs after his enemies have been placed as a footstool for his feet]. And there will certainly occur a time [t(] of distress such as has not been made to occur since there came to be a nation [nations began at Babel] until that time [t(] [the time of distress which also has not been made to occur since there came to be a nation until that time. It is a period of acute distress for nations. We think from financial collapse and nuclear terrorism. It runs for a time, one year. The year of the Time of Distress which contains the Great Tribulation of Matthew24. That year runs from 2010Ab to 2011Ab]. And during that time [t(] [the time of the end, which is just under 56½ months long, 1693 days long, not the time of distress, which is 12 months long. Actually the time of the end might be 56 months or 1680 days until EKSB day on 2012Chislev14, when the governments of the world all accept God and command the people to worship him so that Every Knee Shall Bend of Isaiah45 and Romans14 is fulfilled!] your people will escape, every one who is found written down in the book [End-time: the book of Melchizedek, the FRC, we all escape before the end of Zoar. Or perhaps all the saints escape into the LWs during the time of distress? But then surely some of the prophets of Baal are not saints? 1st presence: In the fulfilment on FDS1, it is the book of the saints.]
25
Also, there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth anguish
of nations, not knowing the way out because of the roaring of the sea and
[its] agitation,
26 while men become faint out of fear and
expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth; for the powers of the
heavens will be shaken.
27 And then they will see the Son of man
coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 But as these things start to occur, raise
yourselves erect and lift your heads up, because your deliverance is getting
near.
29 With that he spoke an illustration to
them: Note the fig tree and all the other trees:
30 When they are already in the bud [in
Adar/Nisan], by observing it you know for yourselves
that now the summer is near [6 month
Hebrew summer starts on Nisan16] (Luke 21).
21 for then there will
be great tribulation [time of distress]
such as has not occurred since the world's beginning until now, no, nor will
occur again.
22 In fact, unless those days were cut short [to
be one year, one time long], no flesh would be
saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short (Matthew
24).
19
for those days will be [days of] a tribulation such as has not occurred from
[the] beginning of the creation which God created until that time [one
year long] and will not occur again.
20 In fact, unless Jehovah had cut short the
days [to be one year, one time long],
no flesh would be saved. But on account of the chosen ones whom he has chosen he
has cut short the days.
21 Then, too, if anyone says to you, 'See!
Here is the Christ,' 'See! There he is,' do not believe [it].
22 For false Christs and false prophets will
arise and will give signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, the chosen
ones.
23 you, then, watch out; I have told you all
things beforehand.
24 But in those days, after that
tribulation [the great tribulation]
the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,
25 and the stars will be falling out of
heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.
26 And then they will see the Son of man
coming in clouds with great power and glory (Mark 13).
2
And there will be many of those asleep in the ground of dust who will wake up [all
those who have been in a true Christian church, hearing the voice of the groom,
and so are invited to evening meal of God, a ringside seat to view Armageddon, or have declined that
invitation by falling away from a water baptism. The rapture is coincident with the resurrection of the
Christian
sons of the ICC. So those raptured in no way precede those who have died in
this respect also. First the saints, the sons of Jacob are resurrected, not
long after they die, then the sons of Isaac at the rapture, then the sons of
Abraham according to the last is first timetable. This is so that the priests
of the kingdom attend the lesson of Armageddon], these to indefinitely lasting
life and those to reproaches [and] to indefinitely lasting abhorrence [The
sin bin of Gehenna. They get to see Armageddon from the cheap seats! They need
the lesson more than the righteous. Everyone who was sanctified but failed the
baptism test, the rotten saints, must serve their sentence entirely within the
kingdom of God, since that is what they are sentenced to miss. Even though
there is no forgiveness for the sin against the holy spirit in the world or in the
kingdom, those who sinned in the world can be forgiven in Gehenna since he who
has died is acquitted of sin. So they may get early parole from the sin bin and
appear during the kingdom if they pass the repentance criteria of Hell. So
certainly all the rotten saints are resurrected from 2008Nisan17 onwards
presumably]
3
And the ones having insight [researchers]
will shine like the brightness of the expanse [the
sun, the light of the world, Jesus]; and those who are bringing the many [not
millions but hundreds of millions] to righteousness [evangelisers,
helping people to take and to finish their baptism tests], like the stars to time indefinite, even
forever [The stars picture the loyal angels]
4
And as for you, O Daniel, make secret the words and seal up the
book [by writing it in an
ambiguous code], until the time of [the]
end. [When]
Many [descended saints]
will rove about [and many humans will rove
about through the hidden meanings of the bible], and the [true] knowledge will become abundant [from
2008Nisan14 to 2012Chislev14, EKSB day. This system lasts physically for 56 months and 13
days after it falls
judicially on 2008Nisan14, ending on 2012Chislev27 at the end of the 400 days of
the greater flood - shifted by and by 4382 years from the flood of Noah and
extended by 30 days].
5
And I saw, I Daniel, and, look!... there were two others
standing, one on the bank here of the stream [1NC
saints in the JWs] and the other on the bank there of the stream [1NC
saints in the LWs].
6
Then one said to the man clothed
of the linens, who was up above the waters of the stream [Gabriel,
the head of the second holy spirit, having received the firstborn angelic
rights from Michael who is no longer an angel but a God. Gabriel presides over
angelic procreation]:
How long will it be to the end of the astonishing/wonderful things? [how
long until the end of the gap in the presence whereby Jesus is not in contact
with either the JW bank or the LW bank or with a water baptism but is in fact only in heaven through
the 1NC saints. You need a water baptism to get from the first bank to the
second bank]
7
And I began to hear the man clothed
of the linens, who was up above the waters of the stream, as he proceeded to raise his right
[hand] and his left [hand] [two hands refer to
the two churches which sit at Jesus' right and left hands, in each presence.
These are the JWs and the LWs in the second presence]
to the heavens and to swear by the One who is alive for time indefinite [as all those are who
are raptured and float up in the air like Gabriel]: It will be for an appointed time appointed times and a half
[3½ years in the cases of the gaps
between the two hands, the two churches in
the first and second presences. But the word 'half' has no word 'time' after it and so can stand for something else
as well? perhaps the 50% who get
raptured? or perhaps half of 3x
making a total of 4½x, or 4½ years which could run from the start of the
kingdom on 2008Nisan17 to the start of the lava flood on 2012Tishri28, this
being the strange/astonishing/wonderful period when the Kingdom has started but
the final destruction by fire has not, so the faithless are just having a ball in
the kingdom! In this case the half of 3 years is only accurate to the month not
to the day]. And as soon as there will have been a
finishing of the dashing of the power of the holy people to pieces, all these things will come to their
finish
[as soon as the power of the priesthood of the
Watchtower, i.e. their water baptism is removed, then this 3½ year period
occurs and the other things occur, the 1290 and 1335 days. Once they became a
false church in opposition to the appointment of the LWs over the 1AC, the 1290 days begin on
2004Elul14, ending on 2008Nisan14.
So the 3½ year period runs from 2001Tishri30 - 2005Nisan30. The Watchtower showed that it was unrepentant for installing Satan's throne in God's temple via their UN NGO agreement on 2001Tishri30 with their response from Paul Gillies to the Guardian exposee of October9. George was water baptised into the LWs on 2005Nisan30. Then George resigned and his resignation was accepted by the church on 2008Nisan3. But perhaps God did not end the presence until 7 days later on 2008Nisan10 when the sheep must be in the house and the king must be on the donkey and all fiances left on earth are just too late for the 144,000 marriage ceremony. If so then the presence ran from 1884Tishri10 to 2001Tishri30 and from 2005Nisan30 to 2008Nisan10, precisely 120 years to the Hebrew day]
8
Now as for me, I heard, but I could not understand; so that I said: O my lord, what will be the final part/end/outcome/result of these
things? [what happens in the
final part of the time of the end, the final part of the last bank? 'these
things' are the banks and the river? The final part begins with Zoar on
2012Nisan17 - we think]
9
And he went on to say: Go, Daniel [run
like Elijah, you have a lot of decoding, of unsealing of words to do!], because the words are made secret and sealed up until the
time of [the] end
[which began on 2008Nisan14. But
since we now understand these verses, verses 1-8, which contain 'these words'
at last we must be in that time! The words of verses 10-13 we not sealed up
until the time of the end but were part of the entire book of Daniel which is
generally sealed up until the time of the end]
10
Many [during the final part of the things,
the final part of the wonderful things of verse6, i.e. the final part of the
time of the end] will cleanse themselves and whiten themselves and will be refined [during
the final part of the time of the end]. And the wicked ones will certainly act
wickedly, and no wicked ones at all will understand [and
be raptured]; but the ones having insight will understand [and
be raptured].
11
And from the time that the constant [feature] has been removed/transferred [there
will be 1290 days, from 2004Elul14 = 2004September1, the start of the field
service year, the day the Watchtower became a false church 4600 solar days of Daniel 8 after transgression causing desolation when
the Watchtower joined the UN on 1992January28, to 2008Nisan14, the end of
Satan's lease, the start of the time of the end] and [from the time that] there has been a placing of the disgusting
thing that is causing desolation [This
is the agreement between JWs not to stop doing LW style research but to stop
evangelism of that type of research anywhere - we think] [The
GB has been full of non 1NC saints since the 1970s, they of course are an
abomination as well. The
LWs celebrated the passover correctly although only with one 1NC saint at Niagara falls
on 2005Iyyar14], there will be 1,290 days [2
fulfilments? The second one starts with the removal of the constant feature of
Laodicea on 2006Tammuz27 (which was their spying on and doing LW research with
two eyes), this being the placing of the disgusting thing causing desolation 7
days after the transgression causing desolation to them which was their
entering into the monocular agreement of 1Samuel11, that was
signed on 2006Tammuz20, 7 days earlier). These 1290 days end with the finished blessing
of U264 on 2009Shebat27, coincident with the end of the 1335 days below. The wicked and adulterous generation seeks a sign
agreement of 2006Tammuz20 was the transgression causing desolation for the Laodiceans. And it
forces them away from the prophetic power of the LWs which is the finishing of
the dashing of their power to pieces! They lost their
water baptism and their constant feature - distributing LW food - on 2006Tammuz27]
12
Blessednesses/Happinesses of the one keeping in expectation and
he
reaches to the 1335 days!
[Two fulfilments. The contest
fulfilment is from 2006Sivan12 - the first Watchtower destruction date failure until
2009Shebat27 (2010February17, 1am), when the
blessing of U264 was completed (to include
all the necessary sacred secrets). On 2008Tebbeth13 we had the plane landing on the Hudson river, the sea from which we
understand the first fire of 1Kings18 will come. The LWs and the Laodicean JWs
are happy together when the water is turned into wine, which is a further
blessing on 2010Elul10. But the main
fulfilment is from 2008Nisan17 to
2011Tebbeth2, when the 2NC Kings get to meet the descended 1NC kings presumably with
Melchizedek. The physical gifts of the spirit from the descended
1NC apostles are given when they sit upon our heads at the last Christian Pentecost,
2011Tebbeth27/Shebat4 just as it was at the first Christian Pentecost]
13
And you [], Go to the end
[advice for interpreting verse11, the end of
the world, and verse12, the end of the wall of the Watchtower]; and you [Daniel
who was Melchizedek] will
rest, and you will rise/stand up for/to your inheritance at/to the end of the days [the 1335
days, both fulfilments and the days of the time of the end. Daniel dies on
2012Heshvan24, the end of the chief of the 1,000 of 1Sameul17, and is resurrected on
2102Chislev27??] (Daniel 12).

25 He will intend to change times and law and they will be given into his hand for a time, times and half a time (Daniel 7)
God is not stupid. He wants to say more than 3½ with the phrase a time, times and half a time.
Many faithful men, including all the LWs have struggled with these words. The above is the closest we have got yet!
Now Daniel was Melchizedek, and Melchizedek died in Simeon - we read...
25 And, look! there was a man in Jerusalem
named Simeon, and this man was righteous and reverent, waiting for Israel's
consolation, and holy spirit was upon him.
26 Furthermore, it had been divinely revealed
to him by the holy spirit that he would not see death before he had seen
the Christ of Jehovah.
27 Under the power of the spirit he now came
into the temple; and as the parents brought the young child Jesus in to do for
it according to the customary practice of the law,
28 he himself received it into his arms and
blessed God and said:
29 Now, Sovereign Lord, you are letting your
slave go free in peace according to your declaration [the
end of Melchizedek's ministry in this system];
30 because my eyes have seen your means of
saving
31 that you have made ready in the sight of
all the peoples,
32 a light for removing the veil from the
nations and a glory of your people Israel.
33 And its father and mother continued
wondering at the things being spoken about it.
34 Also, Simeon blessed them, but said to
Mary its mother: Look! This one is laid for the fall and the rising again of
many in Israel and for a sign to be talked against
35 yes, a long sword will be run through the
soul of you yourself, in order that the reasonings of many hearts may be
uncovered (Luke 2).
So Melchizedek rests and he must stand up for his lot in the kingdom of God since he is the earthly king of that kingdom. It would be an absurdity for all the heavenly kings to turn up on 2011Chislev11, leaving the earthly king upstairs. The 1NC kings belong upstairs, Melchizedek belongs down here. So we get to see him around that time too and are therefore blessed with a righteous king.
To understand Daniel 12:1 we must read from Daniel 11:40 first...
40
And in the time of [the] end the king of the south will engage with him
in a pushing, and against him the king of the north will storm with chariots and
with horsemen and with many ships; and he will certainly enter into the lands
and flood over and pass through.
41 He will also actually enter into the
land of the Decoration, and there will be many [lands] that will be made to
stumble. But these are the ones that will escape out of his hand, Edom and Moab
and the main part of the sons of Ammon.
42 And he will keep thrusting out his hand
against the lands; and as regards the land of Egypt, she will not prove to be an
escapee.
43 And he will actually rule over the
hidden treasures of the gold and the silver and over all the desirable things of
Egypt. And the Libyans and the Ethiopians will be at his steps.
44 But there will be reports that will
disturb him, out of the sunrising and out of the north, and he will certainly go
forth in a great rage in order to annihilate and to devote many to destruction.
45 And he will plant his palatial tents
between [the] grand sea and the holy mountain of Decoration; and he will have to
come all the way to his end, and there will be no helper for him (Daniel 11).
So Michael stands up in the time of the end. Well he stood up to come and reject the Watchtower and appoint the LWs in the time of the end of the Watchtower which ran from 1995Tishri15 to 2004Elul14. But the King of the North who in the literal meaning of Daniel 11 is the king controlling the Euphrates, which is the US led coalition occupying Iraq, has not yet stormed against the King of the South, which is the king controlling the Nile, which is general terms is the Muslim controlled states of the Middle East.
Then we have the 'time of distress', when everyone who is found written down in the book will escape. Their escape mechanism is the rapture, the greater Noah's ark, the angelic ark of Jesus.

Period of Strange Things (4½ Times to the month)
The 'time of distress' is a time long. The 'time of the end' is simply a time period between two ends. It runs from the judical end of the world, the end of Satan's 6,000 year lease, to the end of adamic mankind. So that both possible meanings of 'time' are used. The wording is...
1 ...a tribulation such as has not been made to occur since there came to be a nation until that time. And during that time your people will escape (Daniel 12) [The word 'time' is repeated enough times for us to wonder whether it does not mean: a time, chronologically i.e. a year or a month. The time of the end of the Jewish system ran from 69Tishri15 until the diaspora. So it was a time period. But the time of distress ran from 69Tishri15 to 70Tishri15, this being a land sabbath year. The last one of the law, for the law ended physically with the destruction of the temple by Titus on 70Ab10. It ended judicially with Jesus' impalement. So both at the end of the Jewish system and at the end of the world, the Time of the End is a general time period and the Time of Distress is a year long].
Lot escapes in the midst of something?
29 And it came about that when God brought the cities of the District to ruin God kept Abraham in mind in that he sent Lot out from the midst of the overthrow when overthrowing the cities among which Lot had been dwelling (Genesis 19).
Could this be 2010Nisan17 in the midst of the 4 year period from 2008Nisan17 the start of the kingdom to 2012Nisan17, the start of Zoar??
Please indulge Gordon and Tony whilst we tell you the story of our first partial unsealing of Daniel 12:
4 And as for you, O Daniel, make secret the words and seal up the book, until the time of [the] end. Many will rove about, and the [true] knowledge will become abundant (Daniel 12).
9 Go Daniel, because the words are made secret and sealed up until the time of the end (Daniel 12)
The time of the knowledge of the date of the End (which we once though incorrectly was the time of the end), in this presence, started on 1991Shebat21, which was February 1, 1992, the day that Gordon worked out the date of the end from the Exedenic Times and Genesis 4 - see [157]. The bible was unsealed in the first presence through Paul and FDS2 and in the second presence, today, it was and is being unsealed through Gordon and FDS4. Although all of it is through Jesus and from the true God, the owner of all interpretations (if we have it right that is). It’s like Daniel said:
28 However, there exists a God in the heavens who is a Revealer of secrets, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what is to occur in the final part of the days (Daniel 2).
It’s like Paul said:
7 But we speak God's wisdom in a sacred secret, the hidden wisdom, which God foreordained before the systems of things for our glory (1 Corinthians 2).
It’s like the meaning of the name that Pharaoh gave to Joseph: Zaphenath-Paneah, meaning ‘Revealer of Hidden things’ (Genesis 41:45).
And Jesus himself became overjoyed in the holy spirit and said:
21 I publicly praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have carefully hidden these things from wise and intellectual ones, and have revealed them to babes. Yes, O Father, because to do thus came to be the way approved by you (Luke 10).
On Sunday 8th March 1992, Gordon had been complaining to Tony that he had a 6 month discrepancy in the length of the Alienation Times. This arose because he did not realise at that time that the 120 years of Genesis 6 ended after the flood at the time when men’s maximum age was changed from 960 years to 480 years, just before the birth of Arpachshad. He thought that it ended at the flood. Gordon was actually thinking that the change in the calendar at the time of Moses might have something to do with this problem. In any event, on Sunday night Tony had a dream! On Monday he said to the Gordon: 'I have had a dream!'. Gordon responded with some cynicism, to the effect that this sort of thing was supposed to have stopped 2,000 years ago. Tony said: 'I know how to solve your 6 month problem, look at the account of the shadow going back on the 6 steps of Ahaz' or such-like.
So on Tuesday 10th March, after the book group of the Jehovah's Witnesses, we both had a look at this account in Isaiah 38. The first thing that we noticed was that there were not 6 steps but were in fact 10 steps. The next thing that Gordon did was to pray and ask Jehovah to let the meaning of the account be seen to both of us that night because Tony had up to that date never been around when Gordon had worked anything out. Gordon thought that this would be a great thing for the true God to do, in order that Tony's faith would be strengthened. Well, yes, Jehovah is a very great God, and a kind and a loving God, and he answered Gordon's prayer. Because Gordon became aware that the whole account about the shadow was symmetric, and whenever this shadow was moving up the ten steps it was also moving down the ten steps so he said to Tony: This account is saying that Jesus died in the middle of something. Furthermore we both realised that Hezekiah's three days of sickness were Jesus' 3 days in the 'heart of the earth'. And Isaiah confirmed this view, when Hezekiah said after he had recovered:
10 In the midst of my days I will go into the gates of Sheol (Isaiah 38).
Since there were ten steps, the writer was thinking of something complete, so he thought of the Abrahamic covenant. We were amazed that we hadn't seen it before! Jesus died in the middle of the covenant, the 1AC. Furthermore this did solve the problem about the six months and the calendar change at the time of Moses, because since there was no corresponding missing 6 months after Jesus' death and since both halves of Abraham's covenant were now known to be symmetric, then there could be no missing 6 months at the time of Moses.
Later on that week, either on Friday evening or on Saturday 14th, we think it was Saturday. Tony said to Gordon, 'why don't you have a look at Daniel?' The writer said, 'No, no, the Watchtower Society have worked Daniel out, they have already unsealed it' or the like. But Tony prevailed over the writer and we had a look at Daniel chapter 12. Tony then asked, what the 1335 days of Daniel 12:12 related to since the Watchtower had worked it all out. Gordon said that they related to a convention in the Albert Hall. Tony then categorically refused to accept that the last words of Daniel had anything to do with the Albert Hall. He said something like: Do you really believe that the dying words of God's great prophet Daniel refer to a happiness resulting from a talk in the Albert Hall?
12 Happy is the one who is keeping in expectation and who arrives at the 1,335 days! (Daniel 12).
The writer has by now learned that when one of his associates refuses to accept something, then rather than brow beating him with the doctrine of the Watchtower Society, or indeed the current doctrine of the Lords' Witnesses in the manner of a lobotomised prison warden, it is better to listen and to re-think. Because more often than not it is not only his associate but it is also the true God himself through his holy spirit who is not accepting the teaching!
So in 1992, Gordon just stared at Daniel 12 and thought (the normal decoding technique!). After some time, around 30 minutes or an hour, a most fantastic thing occurred, and the writer can remember it as clear as day even now. All of a sudden he (thought that he) got the symbolism of Daniel 12 and he realised that the river Hiddekel was the river of life and that 1914Tishri, when Jesus became King over Abraham's children was 3.5 years before Nisan 1918 when the first anointed brothers (new covenant saints) were resurrected is mirrored by the 3.5 years after Tishri 2004, after the last brothers are resurrected which takes us to 2008Nisan when Jesus becomes King over everybody. The angel Gabriel floating above the river was representing the anointed brothers, floating off to heaven between the two banks of the river - fantastic. The holy spirit says to Daniel himself:
13
And as for you yourself, go toward the end; and you will
rest, but you will stand up for your lot at the end of the days (Daniel 12).
And the answer that Gabriel gave was to the question:
8 What will be the final part of these things ? (Daniel 12).
And what Gordon did, was he went to the end, the end of the world, which he already knew was 2008Nisan. And the 3½ year bank and 1290 days and the 1335 days basically count backwards from the end of the World (more or less). And Gordon, who is the antitypical Daniel, for this very reason, obeyed this instruction from the spirit, and since he actually understood it he unsealed Daniel (well he started unsealing it anyway). The reason that Daniel could not be unsealed before the time of the end, is that it works backwards from the date of the end. So you need to know this date first before you can unseal it. But the 'time of the end' is the time of the knowledge of the true date of the end. It is the time of the knowledge of the date of Armageddon - see [157]. The knowledge of this date is the Key to unlocking Daniel 12 and a lot of the rest of the bible.
It was really wonderful and the writer could not thank Tony enough for his stubbornness, and neither could he thank the true God enough for his open-handedness.
We are not absolutely certain whether this occurred on the night of Friday 13th or Saturday 14th or Sunday 15th. But we are pretty sure that it was the Saturday night because the writer does remember asking Tony to check the date and finding that it was Saturday March 14th, because he thought it was a bit like Nisan14th. He also realised that he would be very tired at the Sunday morning meeting, which was at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday 15th but what the hell, he had unsealed Daniel!
Well that is what we thought at the time. In fact we had begun to unseal it, but a bit more work was going to be required to finish the job. And here, 16 years later, we have finally got both symbolisms of the vision in Daniel 12 at the least. The treble successive designation for Michael in the first verse relates only to the narrative. There is no successive designation in the vision so it has only two meanings, the event symbolic and the word symbolic meanings. There are two interpretations that we presently have for this chapter. Pictorially the visions are as below...

3½
year gap in the 1st presence
Two true religions in each presence. Each church has a water baptism and a spirit baptism. Only the right hand administration asks Gabriel about the end time chronology.
Jesus takes 3½ years to cross the river starting from the loss of water baptizing capability of the left hand administration and ending with the baptism of the first 1NC saint into the right hand administration. During his absence, Jesus is not in touch with either bank or with the water. This is because all 1NC saints on earth are without a water baptism. People leave the first true religion in a presence and enter the second through water baptism, crossing the river and dragging their angels behind them. The Watchtower bank collapses (the burning mountain is thrown into the sea) before the spirit baptism of the LWs ends.
Since Daniel refers to himself as 'I, Daniel', we know that there are two vision threads in total, the event symbolic one and the word symbolic one in this case (this is an as yet undocumented part of the code). Now Gabriel is the mediator of the CRC not the ARC, so the waters he presides over from heaven are those water baptised into the 1EC, 2EC, 3EC and 4EC the water baptism covenants of the 4 true christian churchs.
But Daniel then asks: What will be the final part of these things? Or: What happens after this? And we read that from the time that the constant feature has been removed and there has been a placing of the disgusting thing that is causing desolation, there will be 1290 days. Here is the hard part, the part we got last. What is the constant feature today?
Well the constant feature under Law was the offering up of a lamb every evening and every morning of every solar day. It was constant physical sacrifice. But physical sacrifice was true worship under the law of works. Today we are under the law of faith. So today it is constant true worship in true faith actually by any member of a true church at all since the sacrifice was offered up in the courtyard rather then in the holy place. So the constant feature today is the heartbeat of the living church just as the heartbeat is a constant feature of every living human. So whilst the church is a true church and so long as it has a sufficient number of members, it has a constant feature. So the abomination causing desolation which prevents true worship ends the constant feature, and when the constant feature ends all further desolation is impossible. So the constant feature being removed and the abomination being placed are the same thing in the second word symbolism. They both occur 1290 days before the end, i.e. 2004Elul14. For Daniel is told to Go to the end, so that is what he did. The LWs are too small to constitute a constant feature during the period of the far bank, we are a kind of intermittent feature!
This removal of the constant feature is the finishing of the dashing of [priestly] power of the holy people to pieces. But the day of its removal is not the end of the far bank. The far bank ends with a 1NC saint joining the LWs and restarting the second presence. This happens when such a saint catches sight of the Abomination causing desolation which is already in place and then flees to the mountains. For Jesus cannot be present in defiled flesh. Now we know from Daniel 4 U136 and from Genesis 41 U304, that the Watchtower lose their water baptism and lose their authority over all of God's water baptised people for precisely 7 times. But these 7 times end at the end of the 7 years outside the camp of the greater Miriam of the remnant of Jesus' wife - U252. The transgression causing desolation to the Watchtower was their joining the UN as an NGO. This transgression must cause a different desolation to the abomination causing desolation, for if not then only one of them has truly caused a desolation. We know that the abomination causes the loss of 1AC capability, the loss of true religion status to the Watchtower on 2004Elul14. So the transgression causing desolation must cause the loss of 2AC capability, which is the other desolation which a true religion faces on its path to rejection. Now the Watchtower sidled out of the UN NGO union on October 9th 2001, 2001Tishri17/18, without any repentance. They then responded to the Guardian newspaper exposee with the Library Card cover story on October 22nd 2001. This clearly demonstrated unrepentance before God and men. Plainly they became unworthy to carry out baptisms in water of repentance at that time.
The 7 year headship malediction of Daniel 4 runs from 2001Tishri30 to 2008Tishri30. During this period the LWs have headship over all sons of Isaac. 2001Tishri30 was a dark day for the Watchtower who faithlessly chose to look good in front of their flock by covering up their error, rather than to look good in front of God by owning up to it and repenting. They loved the glory of men more even than the glory of God.
Here are some descriptions of Jesus manifestation at the end, during the Great Tribulation...
7 But, to you who suffer tribulation, relief along with us at the
revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels
8 in a flaming fire, as he brings vengeance upon those who do not know
God and those who do not obey the good news about our Lord Jesus.
9 These very ones will undergo the judicial punishment of everlasting
destruction from before the Lord and from the glory of his strength,
10 at the time he comes to be glorified in connection with his holy
ones and to be regarded in that day with wonder in connection with all those who exercised faith, because the
witness we gave met with faith among you (2 Thessalonians 1).
6 But when he again brings his
Firstborn into the inhabited earth he says: And let all God's angels do obeisance
to him.
7 Also, with reference to the angels he says: And he makes his
angels spirits, and his public servants a flame of fire (Hebrews 1). (So Jesus
comes as a human at Armageddon).
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be
darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be
shaken.
30 And then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and
then all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in
lamentation, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great
glory.
31 And he will send forth his angels with a great trumpet
sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from one extremity of the heavens to their other
extremity (Matthew 24).
31 When the Son of man arrives in his glory, and all the angels
with him, then he will sit down on his glorious throne.
32 And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will
separate people one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33 And he will put the sheep on his right hand, but the
goats on his left.
34 Then the king will say to those on his right: Come, you who
have been blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
founding of the world (Matthew 25).
38 For whoever becomes ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man will also be ashamed of him when he arrives in the glory of his Father with the holy angels (Mark 8).
26 For whoever becomes ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of
man will be ashamed of this one when he arrives in his glory and that of the Father and of the holy
angels (Luke 9).
This 'Son of man' does not look like Jesus.
The 'final part of the things' is in fact the great tribulation and Armageddon, it is the closing act of this system. The JWs do not flee until after they have actually seen the disgusting thing, the abomination causing desolation, Satan's throne in the temple of the Watchtower due to the UN NGO agreement..
15 Therefore
when you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken
of through Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place (let the reader use
discernment)
16 then let those in Judea begin fleeing to the
mountains.
19 Woe to the ;pregnant women and those suckling a baby in those
days!
21 for then there will be great
tribulation such as has not occurred since the world's beginning until now, no, nor will occur
again (Matthew 24).

So what precisely is this great happiness that the last words of Daniel refer to? According to Jehovah’s witnesses it refers to the great joy of the conventioneers who came out of the Albert Hall in 1926 and were very very happy! (Daniel book, YWp337-8) And why shouldn't they be? its a very nice hall, and no doubt it was a wonderful convention. But really, brothers, is this the great reward that the giver of every good gift and perfect present is giving to his faithful servants, a nice convention in the Albert Hall? Why even Frank Sinatra can match that!
'I remember when Tony & myself worked this one out, with a large amount of prodding and help from the spirit we had realised that the word 'times' in the bible stood for 360 years in more than one scripture, and we were feeling pretty pleased with ourselves and we thought that we had more or less discovered the entire sacred secret. I must stress that neither of us knew that we were anointed (sanctified in holy spirit, born again) at that time, because you do not have to be anointed to understand the bible dammit. In some ways I wish that I wasn't anointed so that this point could be more forcibly made now. For it is my job not to decode the bible myself, but it is my job to start all of God's people decoding the bible for themselves, indeed this is what I am anointed to do. Because I know for a fact that this work is too big for any one man, in fact it is too big for all of us, but with God's spirit we will decode it, every word of it, every jot and tilda of every letter of every word of it.
So there we were, the two holy wonder-decoders, and my friend said to me: Why don't you have a look at the book of Daniel, perhaps we could decode that? I responded: Oh no, the Watchtower Society have already unsealed that, they unsealed it in the time of the end which began in 1914. He then said to me: So what is this 1335 days then, when everybody becomes so happy? I said well it is an assembly in the Albert Hall. My poor friend couldn't stop laughing! An assembly in the Albert Hall? You must be joking! Why would Daniel prophesy about an assembly in the Albert Hall? I said no, no you don't understand, they've worked it all out in terms of the Hebrew calendar its all OK, well more or less. Then my friend, absolutely floored me with the following genre of question:
Are you trying to tell me, that the culmination of God's whole divine plan to save all of mankind from sin and death, to confer immortality on his firstborn son, and to vindicate his holy name, was a convention in the Albert Hall in 1926? Was that really the climax of his achievements for man??
Well, what could I say? I had to laugh as well, it was ridiculous. On that day, and ever after, the holy spirit made me realise that when a bible study does not accept some doctrine, it is very often not only the bible study who does not accept it, but also the spirit of truth is not accepting it. So that rather than bashing that doctrine into the head of the bible student in the manner of a lobotomised prison warden, one does better to reconsider the doctrine in the manner of a humble bible student.
That is what we did, and it was the most beautiful thing, because I looked at Daniel 12 and I saw a sparkling river of light, with Gabriel in bright linen floating off to heaven above it and I knew that this river was the resurrection of the anointed, the new covenant saints, it was the river of heavenly life.
Of course I did not unseal it, it was actually unsealed by the holy spirit through Gabriel to me. Because Gabriel told the first Daniel to seal it up, so presumably he also told the last Daniel to unseal it. And it is my belief that Gabriel was floating not only above the Hiddekel, the Tigris, in the time of the first Daniel, but he was also floating above the Thames in that day of the last Daniel, the one who is untying the knots and explaining riddles of his predecessor, for we were in the docklands, by the side of the Thames.'
Yea, even as Moses foretold:
Happy you are, Oh Israel
Who is like you?
A people enjoying the Albert Hall? (Deuteronomy
33:29). NO
Happy you are, Oh Israel
Who is like you?
A people enjoying the salvation in Jehovah (Deuteronomy
33:29).
And as David prophesied:
Happy is the one acting with consideration toward the lowly one, In the day of calamity, Jehovah will provide escape for him. Jehovah will guard him and preserve him alive. He will be pronounced happy in the Albert Hall? (Psalm 41:1,2). NO
Happy is the one acting with consideration toward the lowly one, In the day of calamity, Jehovah will provide escape for him. Jehovah will guard him and preserve him alive. He will be pronounced happy in the earth (Psalm 41:1,2).
And as Jesus taught us all:
Happy are the meek for they will inherit the Albert Hall? NO
Happy are the meek for they will inherit the earth (Matthew 5:5).
And this they will do at the end of the 1.1 million days on 2008Heshvan7, for this is the end of the great tribulation for them.
7 It will be for an appointed time, appointed times and a half (Daniel 12).
Hebrew has three numbers for a word, singular, plural and dual. The dual number means that there are two of the word. The Hebrew for appointed times above is: Myd(wm this is in the dual number according to the Watchtower and Aben Ezra, but is the plural according to Ben Davidson (Analytical Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon), being in the 7th declension of the masculine nouns. We go with Ben Davidson. But we read in Revelation 12:
14 But the two wings of the great eagle were given the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place; there is where she is fed for a time and times and half a time away from the face of the serpent (Revelation 12).
Where times is obviously in the plural since Greek has no dual. But earlier in the same chapter we read:
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there 1260 days (Revelation 12).
In the actual vision, (and in the event symbolic meaning of the vision but not necessarily in all of its symbolic meanings) the two periods are the same period and so we a being told by holy spirit that the phrase ‘a time, times and half a time’ is 3.5 times or 1260 days of the BLC (Biblical Lunar Calendar).
But 'appointed time' is so flexible in Hebrew that we can take a time, times and half a time to be a year two months and half a day or any other combination if we like! However in Daniel 12 we take the phrase:
7 an appointed time, appointed times and a half (Daniel 12)
To be 3½ years, from 2001Tishri30 when the Watchtower lost its baptizing capability to 2005Nisan30 when the first 1NC reserve was baptized into the LWs.
The NWT is good here translating Mlw( literally hidden time, as an ‘indefinite time’ and d( literally until as ‘for ever’!! For Gehenna is a place of indefinitely lasting reproaches and abhorrence, not everlasting or infinitely lasting reproach.
As regards the last resurrection of the remnant, one can very easily deduce that all of the holy ones are in heaven before the kingdom of God starts.
For if truly the Kingdom of God were to start with any of the holy ones still on the earth and therefore unmarried, then since Jesus is not having two marriage feasts, he would have to be unmarried as well. In which case there would be no covenant in force for the 144,000 to wield any power as kings or priests, in which case the Kingdom would have actually started without them! That is without any of them!It is also very difficult to explain how in the days of the earthquake of Uzziah (which days are standing for Armageddon, when Jehovah's earthly people flee to the valley of his mountains) it will be that Jehovah will 'certainly come, all the holy ones being with him' (Zechariah 14:5), if in fact some of the holy ones are still here on the earth, and are therefore not with him. Well if there are any left remaining on the earth when the Kingdom starts then the Kingdom of God will truly have overtaken them.
Also the armies that were in heaven were following him on white horses, and they were clothed in white, clean, fine linen........And upon his outer garment, even upon his thigh, he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords (Revelation 19:14-16).
Let us not beat around the bush, these armies that are 'in heaven' are the 144,000 brothers of Christ. For Jesus is here called the King of kings (Revelation 19:16), he is not called the King of the number of kings who have so far been resurrected. The scripture does not mention any armies that were on the earth following him. Logic dictates that these ones do not become kings until after the marriage of the Lamb, which is their investiture.
So following after the pattern of the death of Moses, whose life prefigures the presence of Christ being equal in length to the day at 120 years, and taking account of the gap in the presence caused by the far bank of Daniel 12, we can now declare it to be as follows:
Russell baptised Paul
Gillies letter Presence ends

X_______________X________________X
X_________________X
Present 117
years + 20 days
Present 3 years less 20 days
The total presence is therefore 120 years to the day, because although the only LW 1NC reserve saints resigend effective 2007Adar27, the Laodicean 1NC reserves were still clean in the flesh until the engagement was ended when the whole wife entered the house on 2008Nisan10. So the presence lasts from the sanctification of Russell to near enough the end of this system, but with a gap of 1260 days between the end of the Watchtower baptism and the batpism of the first 1NC reserve saints into the LWs. This is the second Lord's day of Revelation 1 (which applies in Word1 - U151).
37 For just as the
days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be (Matthew 24).
3 My spirit shall not act towards man
indefinitely in that he has erred (or is also flesh). Accordingly his days shall
amount to 120 years (Genesis 6).
All the non reserve remnant must die before 2001Tishri30 when their water baptism would be lost.
We used to think that all the remnant were in heaven before the Great Tribulation because we misinterpreted the constant feature as being the dying off of the remnant. And we used to think that Revelation 15 referred to the heavenly temple that they will eventually make.
8 And the sanctuary of God became filled with smoke because of the glory of God and because of his power and no one was able to enter into the sanctuary until the 7 plagues of the 7 angels were finished (Revelation 15).
For Jehovah does not come down in a cloud to accept a temple until the temple is fully built. Therefore if he comes down in a cloud on the heavenly temple before he pours out his 7 bowls of anger, it is apparent that this sanctuary is complete before the great tribulation of the plagues starts. But this is the temple of FDS4, containing the last of the faithful remnant down here. For more on Revelation see U151.
To show that Jehovah only comes down in a cloud into a finished temple consider the following two examples. In the case of the tabernacle we have:
34
So Moses finished the work. And the cloud began to cover the
tent of meeting, and Jehovah's glory filled the tabernacle.
35 And Moses was not
able to go into the tent of meeting, because the cloud resided over it and
Jehovah's glory filled the tabernacle (Exodus 40).
In the case of Solomon's temple we have at the inauguration ceremony, once the ark was placed in the temple:
10
And it came about that when the priests came out from the
holy place, the cloud itself filled the house of Jehovah.
11 And the priests were
unable to stand to do their ministering because of the cloud, for the glory of
Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah.
12 At that time Solomon said: Jehovah himself
said he was to reside in the thick gloom.
13 I have successfully built a house of lofty
abode for you (1 Kings 8).
41 The Son of man will send forth his angels, and they will collect out from his kingdom all things that cause stumbling and persons who are doing lawlessness (Matthew 13).
31 When the Son of man arrives in his glory, and all the angels
with him, then he will sit down on his glorious throne.
32 And all the nations will be gathered before him [in
the kingdom of God with Jesus enthroned], and he will separate people one from
another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats (Matthew 25)..
Melchizedek who does not know the future, is in charge of the heavenly church of the 1AC, so the sons of Abraham must have shown faith before 2008Nisan14 to get into the convenant.
Where is the evidence that we are in the kingdom of God?
What are the angels doing right now?
How do we leave a temporal wilderness? We get good chronology. We unseal the bible chronologically. The Jews followed a cloud about a tent going around in circles in a geographical wilderness into a geographical promised land. The LWs follow a mushroom cloud over a temple round in temporal circles into a temporal promised land - where we actually get the chronology of the bible..

Water Baptism of FDS1(46 years)
GNS1 was finished physically when Peter left. He spent 10 years from 69Nisan to 79Nisan under WSS1 and GNS1.
18 Most truly I say to you, When you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk about where you wanted. But when you grow old you will stretch out your hands [10 times] and another [man] [The evil slave] will gird you and bear you where you do not wish (John 21).
WSS1 started in 69Nisan with the appointment over all Jesus' belongings (but not Gabriel's belongings) of FDS2. GNS1 started with the end of the water baptism of WSS1 in 75Nisan (4 years of the far bank of the river before the end of the 10 years of being mislead). The 1290 days and the 1335 days refer to the end of the Jewish system however, rather than the end of FDS1 and the constant feature is that of the Law which ended on 33Nisan14. We know this because again Jesus tells us in Matthew 24:
15 Therefore
when you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken
of through Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place (let the reader use
discernment)
16 then let those in Judea begin fleeing to the
mountains (Matthew 24).
This flight occurred after 66Heshvan5, the day when after Cestius invaded the temple and then retreated 'without a reason in the world' (Josephus). The reason was indeed not of this world, it was the fear of God that came upon him. He must have suspended the constant feature during his little visit to the temple. One does not suppose that much sacrifice to God was in fact carried out during Cestius' assault and conquest of the temple.

| 70Sivan4 | Titus finishes the 'fortification with pointed stakes' (Luke 19:43) Jerusalem is surrounded, the only escape is now to the Romans (prefigures 2008Nisan14, after which the only escape is to God) |
| 70Tammuz19 | Titus parades those who have fled to the Romans and been saved alive in Gophna around the wall. Then he starts the final assault on the temple. |
| Gabriel floating above the waters of the stream |
The waters are governed actually by Gabriel the father of all the water baptised. |
| Gabriel raises his left hand to the heavens | Authority of FDS2 and the Aaronic Priesthood. |
| Gabriel raises his right hand to the heavens | Authority of FDS1. |
| Waters of the stream |
Sons of the 1EC, the baptism of John |
| Man standing on far bank | Disfellowshipped sons of the 1EC |
| Man standing on near bank | Sons of Moses who are not sons of Abraham |
| Far Bank | 1440 days, the time from the end of the water baptism of FDS1, which was the end of WSS1 and the beginning of GNS1, to the first 1NC saint from FDS1 to enter FDS2 by water baptism (Peter). |
| Near Bank | 1260 days, from the end of the law as a means of entering the 2AC to the baptism of John. |
| How long will it be until the end of the astonishing things? | How long is my bank? |
| What will be the final part of the things? | What happens after the time period of the far bank? |
So now we can understand why John the baptist (who was Gabriel) said to the Pharisees and Sadducees:
9 And do not presume to say to yourselves, 'As a father we have Abraham.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones (Matthew 3).
These people were not sons of the 2AC since the law was no longer effective in preserving a water baptism. These stones were those whom John had already baptised in water for Paul tells us that:
4 Paul said: John baptized with the baptism [in symbol] of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus (Acts 19).
So imputing obedience to those whom he baptised makes them into stones,
living stones, sanctified Christians.
