I tell you a mystery. The 13 5 and 30 in Daniel 12:12 is pointing to John 13:35 and John 13:5 "Blessed is he who comes to the 1335."
Nebuchadnezzar's image is a picture of the whole world from Adam to now, the kingdom of the feet. The stone is the threshing tool to separate the chaff from the wheat. The chaff is all the false doctrines and images of God that have accumulated from the beginning until now.
We are all one in Adam therefore we die right. We are Adam, the image is a picture of Adam all the way down to the end.
Look what Jesus said about washing the feet (dirty iron and clay).
John 13:5 And Jesus began to wash the disciples feet and Peter said "Lord, wash my whole body." Jesus then replied He only needed to wash the feet and then said something strange. "Ye know not what I do now."
What prophecy teachers forgot about the harvest is there is more than one process in the harvest. Reaping, threshing, and winnowing the chaff which floats with the wind into the fire.
This is what we see when the stone hits the feet of the image; threshing and winnowing the chaff. The chaff isn't bad people, we are all bad. The chaff is the false doctrines and false images of God we've accumulated from the beginning until now.
Here are tow powerful videos I've recently created to point this out.
Michael, Wow, that's quite a post and filled with deep burried profoundness. I didn't get the relevance with this topic, however if we extend the meaning of the Shaddows of the Fall feast. It is about a great harvest.
I don't have time to get into this, and probably another topic should be opened to do so; but a lot of what you said above is what I'm understanding what Scriptures says about the second coming. I'll share 1 text :
Jesus 2nd coming is described as the following :
Mal 3:2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
Jesus 2nd coming is like fuller's soap! Yes to wash away all the false doctrines and false images of God. Yes, their is threshing and winnowing of the chaff. Chaff represents sin. That's what is going to burn in the refiner's fire. But the wheat is not destroy but put in the storehouse. The barley harvest is whom get taken up with Jesus. But not the wheat.
That's the first work of Jesus to destroy the Devil's work, is to cast in the lake of fire the false prophets and the beast. I don't believe these are people, but the false doctrines and false images.
Yes and I'm discovering after i did the videos that there is the spring and fall harvest. I need to dig deeper into this as it unlocks many mysteries. Strange things have been happening this year that I believe indicate the mystery of God is about to be finished. We must dig up the pearls in the harvest.
I'm starting to think that the beast that was and is not, and will ascend from the bottomless pit is Israel. How were the other beasts lives prolonged? Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome; They were prolonged because their feast days never ceased. Also the names of the months and days of the week are all from those beasts. January, February, Monday Tuesday etc. Spring equinox feast (Easter; Ishtar) and so on. Their lives were prolonged.
I was an Adventist for 15 years so I know this was applied to the papacy, but when you look at it this way, the papacy represented all those beasts and even though captured in 1798, the traditions never ceased.
Israel's feast days did cease at 70 AD
7 heads - 1 Egypt 2 Israel 3 Babylon 4 Persia 5 Greece (5 are fallen) 6 Rome (one is) 7 Divided Kingdom (not yet come) Which one of these 7 kingdoms rose up out of the grave (bottomless pit)? Israel in 1948 and Jerusalem in 1967 (6 day war) continue 42 months (sets of harvest months or 42 years.) I'm still digging........
