Part 5. Update on Daniel 11:40-45.

Countdown to Daniel 12:1 Earth’s Time

of Trouble such as never was.
The 3 Angel's Message of Revelation 14, The Loud Cry of Revelation 18 and The
Wrath of the Dragon Revelation 12:17
Daniel 11:44 - But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him:
therefore, he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away
many
With the King of the North gaining power through the deceptive miracles that were
outlined in Revelation 13 :4,14, and receiving worship and influence over the
secular and religious power around the world, it seems that nothing will stand on his
way.
Describing the papacy in those time,.
John the Revelator recorded his attitude in Revelation 18:7 How much she hath
glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she
saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
These verse gives us an insight of King of the North's perspective as he once again
regains control over the world. And in the process, he will undo all that the
protestants of the reformation have accomplished.
This described the healing of the wounds highlighted in Revelation 13:3 and it
seems nothing will stand against him to regain control of the world.
Revelation 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his
deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
As we already read in Daniel11:41-43, He shall enter also into the glorious land, and
many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even
Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. and even Egypt shall not
escape.
We already learned that the glorious land, the countries and Egypt represent every
man, woman, and child on earth regardless of religion, race or ethnicity will be
involved in this spiritual war.
And even among commandment keeping people, many will be overthrown. As many
of them will turn their backs or apostatized from the true sabbath worship and join
the ranks of those who honor Sunday .
Early Writings p. 39.6 Then I was shown a company who were howling in agony. On
their garments was written in large characters, “Thou art weighed in the balance,
and found wanting. ” I asked who this company were. The angel said, “These are
they who have once kept the Sabbath and have given it up.”
However, some will indeed escape from the king of the north's grasp. despite his
desire for all to receive the mark of the beast. And this escape will be a direct result
of what is outline in Daniel 11:44. which says: But tidings out of the east and out of
the north shall trouble him: therefore, he shall go forth with great fury to destroy,
and utterly to make away many."
These texts highlight the events connected to tidings and messages that comes
from the north and the east. It will trouble the papacy, in creating potential threat to
his influence.
Now. we already established the theme of the modern war between the king of the
north and the king of the south, is centered on worship.
So, it means these tidings must necessarily involve counteracting the principles,
ideology and doctrines of Romanism.
Therefore, we need to understand what these tidings meant and its application
today. And in order to do that, we must refer to Isaiah 52:7 that says,
" How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings,
that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation;
that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!"
We find a similar imagery in Romans 10: 16 about the gospel of peace that says,"
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, how beautiful are
the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good
things!"
These tidings evidently present the special proclamation of the everlasting gospel of
salvation to humanity by God's servants who will be identified in these series.
These tidings are non-other than the 3 Angel's Messages found in in the event that
will be fulfilled in Revelation 14 that says,
Revelation 14.1
1And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred
forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
6. And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel
to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and
tongue, and people," which serves a a warning ... 7. Saying with a loud voice, Fear
God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him
that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
That Babylon which is also known as the King of the North is fallen..
8And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great
city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
And if any man worship the beast... 9 And the third angel followed them, saying
with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark
in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of
God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he
shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and
in the presence of the Lamb:
These messages will culminate in to the Loud Cry of Revelation 18 which says, 1
And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great
power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a
strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the
habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean
and hateful bird. 3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her
fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the
merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her
delicacies. 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my
people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues 5
For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
These messages in Revelation 18 known as the Loud Cry will serve as earth's final
warning against Babylon, the King of the North.
And this will cause the fury of Satan to be unleashed against the Glorious land and
God's Remnant Church as outlined in Revelation 12:17. And the dragon was wroth
with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep
the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
As a result of Satan's fury, he will work with the North to go forth with great fury to
destroy and utterly to make away many.
This fury and attempt to take away many is foretold in Revelation 13: 15-17And he
had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast
should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the
beast should be killed. 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor,
free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And
that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast,
or the number of his name.
Remember the King of the North has power over the ships, representing commerce,
and he will have power over the silver and gold and all the precious things of Egypt,
representing the financial power of the once secular nations of the world.
In addition, it will be declared that as many who would not worship the image of the
beast should be killed.
Because remember the King of the North has chariots and horsemen representing
the judicial ang military of the world.
And the Ethiopians and the Libyans is also representing the power of enforcement
will at the king;s step to do his bidding.
As we already saw in verse 13 of Revelation 17, the nations of the world shall have
one mind, and shall give their strength and power to the beast.
Rev. 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received
no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 13 These
have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
Lastly, in addition to what we have seen regarding the tidings that would come from
the north and the east will trouble the papacy.
In Daniel 11:44 says, that tidings will come from the north and east. These words
are not hereby accident. God wants us to understand that the everlasting gospel
will come directly from His throne in the North.
We know this because in Isaiah 14:13 says that God is worshipped in the sides of
the North : For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my
throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in
the sides of the north.
And in Psalms 48:2 says, Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount
Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
Take note Brethren that the loud cry will sound and would begin in Mount Zion as
foretold by the prophet Isaiah 2:2,3 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that
the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains,
and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 3 And many
people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to
the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in
his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from
Jerusalem.
How about the East? and how salvation will come to God's people from the East. In
Matthew 24.:27 it says, For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth
even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
In Revelation 71-4
I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and
he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth
and the sea, saying, hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have
sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. 4 And I heard the number of them
which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand
of all the tribes of the children of Israel. Revelation 7:1, 2, 4.
Take note that the Servants of God that will proclaim the Loud cry at the
commencement of the time of trouble are the 144,000 that is also specifically
mentioned in Revelation 14:1
I saw that God had children who do not see and keep the Sabbath. They have not
rejected the light upon it. And at the commencement of the time of trouble, we were
filled with the Holy Ghost as we went forth and proclaimed the Sabbath more fully.
—Life Sketches of Ellen G. White, 100, 101.To Be Like Jesus - Page 159
“The commencement of that time of trouble,” here mentioned, does not refer to the
time when the plagues shall begin to be poured out, but to a short period just
before they are poured out, while Christ is in the sanctuary. At that time, while the
work of salvation is closing, trouble will be coming on the earth, and the nations will
be angry, yet held in check so as not to prevent the work of the third angel.—Early
Writings, 85, 86 (1854).
Everything in the world is in an unsettled state. The nations are angry, and great
preparations for war are being made. Nation is plotting against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom. The great day of God is hasting greatly. But although the nations
are mustering their forces for war and bloodshed, the command to the angels is still
in force, that they hold the four winds until the servants of God are sealed in their
foreheads.37 SDA Bible Commentary 7:968.
We also find in the Old Testament when ancient Baylon was overthrown, by a
messiah type figure named king Cyrus that came from the East and conquered
Babylon by drying up the Euphrates river.
This imagery is reiterated in Revelation 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his
vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the
way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
It discusses the final overthrow of modern day spiritual babylon by saying that the
6th angel pour out his vial upon the great river Euphrates. And the water thereof
was dried up that the way of the kings of the east may be prepared. The kings of
the east represents God and his servants, and His vast armies as shown in
Revelation 7:1-4,14:1 and 19 : 5, 6-16
5.And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants,
and ye that fear him, both small and great.
6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many
waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God
omnipotent reigneth.
11.And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him
was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make
war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he
had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in
fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with
it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he
treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath
on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
Despite how overwhelming this situation to those who remain faithful to God, He
will intervene in behalf of the faithful.
God will ultimately triumph over the king of the north and establish a kingdom of
peace and righteousness as part of the everlasting gospel, as a witness unto all
nations.
But before the establishment of God's kingdom, the king of the north will be
defeated. But before his ultimate defeat, he will make a one more struggle in his
attempt to win the spiritual war that will be wage to the entire world.
And we will find out what that is in the last verse of Daniel 11:45
