This page in the “Last Days” edition of The Rogue Prophet Magazine is to remind us of the power and sovereignty of God.

The elect of God will know the foretold last-days’ signs as benchmarks of the Kingdom timeline. The elect will hear His voice as He leads them. Will you be able to distinguish between the signs from heaven and the displays of power from the liar?

If we hear God’s voice and watch for the signs, we can be prepared for what’s ahead. Do you already know what God expects from you? Are you hedging your bets that you can wait until things get worse to finally prove your allegiance and obedience? Is there a time when you can be too late to have true covenant relationship with God?

Daniel’s prophecies spanned several empires including the last days. His prophetic writings were hundreds of years BC. Daniel’s dream interpretation for King Nebuchadnezzar foretold of the Babylonian Empire (626-539 BC); the Medo-Persian Empire (539-331 BC); the Grecian Empire (331-63 BC); and the Roman Empire (63 BC-AD 476); as well as a future ten nation confederacy.
“During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven and said: ‘Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him. I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors: You have given me wisdom and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the dream of the king.’” (Daniel 2:19-23)
“The king of the North will return to his own country with great wealth, but his heart will be set against the holy covenant.” (Daniel 11:28) … “Then he will turn back and vent his fury against the holy covenant. He will return and show favor to those who forsake the holy covenant. His armed forces will rise up to desecrate the temple fortress and will abolish the daily sacrifice. Then they will set up the abomination that causes desolation. With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist him.” (Daniel 11:30-32)
“At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.’” (Daniel 12:1-4)
“Then I, Daniel, looked, and there before me stood two others, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank. One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, ‘How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?’ The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever, saying, ‘It will be for a time, times and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.’ I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, ‘My lord, what will the outcome of all this be?’ He replied, ‘Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and sealed until the time of the end. Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand. ‘From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days. As for you, go your way till the end. You will rest, and then at the end of the days you will rise to receive your allotted inheritance.’” (Daniel 12:5-13)
“He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.” (Daniel 9:27)

God is not going to ignore when we come against His will regarding the covenant land He gave to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. If you don’t believe the evidence provided, and you have a true relationship with God where you hear His voice in prayer, then just ask God. But if you don’t have that type of relationship with God, you must ask yourself why you don’t.

While I have provided possible fulfillment of the Scriptures on the seven seals, that’s all that it is. The elect of God have a responsibility to hear His voice and discern from Him. Are these the signposts that are provided for God’s people to know where we are on God’s timetable?

Has God given us signs to reveal His timeline of end times’ events? Was our response in the aftermath of September 11, 2001 an open defiance to the warning of impending doom as we as a nation continued to forsake God and break our covenant oath of allegiance? If these possible fulfilments of the seven trumpets descriptions are correct, what’s left on the timeline? Did God allow the terrorist attacks on our country because we failed to stand firmly with Israel about not dividing their covenant land?

“In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.” (Acts 2:17-18 NIV)

All seven letters to the churches in the beginning of the book of Revelation contain a promise for those who have ears to hear what the Spirit says to the churches. False teachers and false messiahs will deceive those who refuse to seek God and know Him. Do you see it in mainstream religion today? Do you depend on your own intellect rather that seeking the will of God?
