The Judgment of Prophet Daniel
Daniel (God is my judge), was one of the four great prophets, although he is not once spoken of in the Old Testament as a prophet. His life and prophecies are recorded in the Book of Daniel. He was descended from one of the noble families of Judah (Dan. 1:3), and was probably born in Jerusalem about 623BC, during the reign of Josiah. At the first deportation of the Jews by Nebuchadnezzar, young Daniel and three other noble youths were carried off to Babylon.
In Babylon, (today’s Iraq and since about the 1920’s has a land area of 168,000 square miles x 0.75 is 126,000), Daniel was obliged to enter into the service of the king of Babylon, and in accordance with the custom of the age received the Chaldean name of Belteshazzar, meaning ‘prince of Bel’. His residence in Babylon was very probably in the palace of Nebuchadnezzar and at the close of his three years of discipline and training in the royal schools, Daniel was distinguished for his proficiency in the ‘wisdom; of his day.
He soon became known for his skill in the interpretation of dreams and rose to the rank of governor of the province of Babylon, and became ‘chief of the governors’ over all the wise men of Babylon. He made known and also interpreted Nebuchadnezzar's dream; and many years afterwards, when he was now an old man, amid the alarm and consternation of the terrible night of Belshazzar's impious feast, he was called to interpret the mysterious handwriting on the wall. He was rewarded with a purple robe and elevation to the rank of ‘third ruler’. Daniel interpreted the handwriting, and ‘in that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain’. After the taking of Babylon, the great ruler Cyrus was now master of all Asia.
The time and circumstances of Daniel’s death are not recorded. He probably died at Susa, about eighty-five years of age. The prophet Ezekiel, with whom he was contemporary, mentions him as a pattern of righteousness and wisdom.
So Belshazzar, co-regent of the Babylonian Empire, watched as these words were supernaturally written on the palace wall: “MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.” (Meaning “Numbered, Weighed and Divided” as well as measurements).
“Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written. And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom. In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.” Daniel 5:24-30
Each of the words the fingers inscribed on the wall is a measure of weight. The basic Babylonian unit of weight was the gold shekel (tekel). The mena equalled 50 shekels; the upharsin (half a mena) equalled 25. The four words, therefore, stood for: mena is 50 shekels; add a mena of 50 shekels add a tekel of 1 shekel and add a upharsin of 25 shekels, a total is 126 shekels. And 126 represents not only the Ancient Egyptian ‘Eye of Horus’ it refers to the human mind, the human spirit man within, a metaphyiscal body that is released at death. So Daniel deciphered the spiritual ‘hand writing’ as ‘126’.
And Daniel was told by an angel the importance of ‘time, times and half a time’ that is 1,260 days and its relationship to the end times.
“Then I Daniel looked, and behold, two others stood, one on this bank of the stream and one on that bank of the stream. And I said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, "How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?" The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven; and I heard him swear by him who lives for ever that it would be for a time, two times, and half a time; and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end all these things would be accomplished.” Dan 12:5-7 RSV
And the Book of Revelation speaks of the Two Witnesses:
“Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. *And the angel stood, saying, "Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there. But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months. And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth." Revelation 11:1-3
Thus, the most significant number in the Bible is probably 126.
Osama bin Laden and 1,260.
Osama bin Laden has given the West three months, that is July 14th 2004 to reconsider their involvement in Iraq, is 1037 days after September 11th 2001. And from July 14th 2004 to the New World Order date of December 22nd 2012 is 3,083 days. And counting from 1am Tuesday, September 11th 2001 to the New World Order date of December 22nd 2012 is 4,119.623 days.
And the multiplication of 3,083 days x 4,119.623 days is equivalent to 1,260 days x 1,260 days x 8 lots.
So ‘writing is on the wall’ for the New World Order date of December 22nd 2012, which screams out, “MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN!”
That is ‘time, times and half a time’ at 1,260 days is now seen thanks to...
Sad, but some still don’t get it and this may include Osama bin Laden. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
