INTRODUCTION   

We have been looking at some of the ways that the Little Horn mentioned in Daniel 8:12 who is the Antichrist (also called the Man of Sin , the counterfeit Christ, the Abomination of Desolation, and the Beast), yes, the devil himself along with his army or host of fallen angels and counterfeit Christians in the Christian Churches of our day, have come " against the daily sacrifice " (literally, " against  the continual" in Hebrew, and, in context, we learned that we could more precisely say, " against the eternal sacrifice ," Jesus Christ), and they have " cast down the truth to the ground "   (in the Christian churches). In Daniel 8:12 part 1 , we mentioned how this army of the devil has cast down the truth of there being no more salvation possible after the many days of Judgment Day began on May 21, 2011 by all the Christian churches declaring the opposite: they wrongly say, out of ignorance, that eternal salvation is still possible even though it is not (see Gods 7-day warning to Noah was a 7,000-year warning for us and Proofs and evidence for the accuracy of the Timeline ). 

Then, in Daniel 8:12 part 2 , we began to see how this Little Horn's army of demons and counterfeit Christians has used the false teachings of Christian Zionism (theologically called Dispensational Premillennialism or just Dispensationalism) to cast down a variety of truths in the Christian churches to do with the Latter Days in which we now find ourselves by fulfilling Daniel 7:25: that the Little Horn would think to change " times and laws ." We previously mentioned how the " times and laws " to do with salvation were changed by all the Chrisitan churches, saying, we are still in the Day of Salvation when the truth is, we are no longer in the Day of Salvation but in the Day of Judgment ever since May 21,2011. Yes, The Day of Salvation began on Pentecost in 33 AD when the Holy Spirit was poured out to the world, but it came to an end when the Day of the Lord, also called the Day of Judgment, began on May 21,2011 with the Holy Spirit having been withdrawn from the world to no longer save anyone, just as, in a similar way and for the same reason, the Holy Spirit was taken " out of the way " (more accurately translated, " out of the midst " ) of the Christian churches (2Thessalonians 2:7) twenty-three years earlier beginning on May 21, 1988 without most in the Christian churches even realizing it because the counterfeit holy spirit, THE ANTICHRIST and Little Horn, Satan himself, was given to take the place of the true Holy Spirit in the Christian Church with great deception as God's Judgment against them due to the their turning away from God's Law in one area or another to worship idols, so " the time [had come] that judgment must begin at the house of God " (1Peter 4:17). 

And now, continuing with our review of Daniel 12:8 parts 2 and with respect to Zionism, we saw how the Little Horn who is the Antichrist, the devil himself, changed the " times and laws " by using the teachings of Dispensationalism to change the nature of, and times for, for instance, the rebuilding of the temple, the Great Tribulation, and the Antichrist. The temple, Christian Zionists incorrectly say, is to be physically rebuilt in the near future over in the Old Covenant land of Jerusalem and Israel, but the Bible teaches that the Old Covenant, physical temple of David and Solomon was already entirely rebuilt in the New Covenant, spiritual building of the Christian Church during the Day of Salvation (remember Acts 15:14-17), which Day of Salvation took place from Pentecost in 33 AD to when God's Judgment first came upon the Christian Church on May 21, 1988, and then it continued during the Latter Rain for one final, short period of time from September 7, 1994 to when the many days of the Day of the Lord or Yahweh began on May 21, 2011. Therefore, any future rebuilding of the Jewish physical temple, we concluded, though it may yet take place (only God knows), is but a lie of the devil being permitted by God to continue further blinding all the Zionist so-called Christians, as well as the entire Zionist Jewish nation of Israel that Christ cursed forever in the Fig Tree Parable (to read His curse against them, click here , then scroll down to the subheading, "The Fig Tree Parable" to begin reading). So, contrary to the Dispensationals or Zionists, there simply is no fulfillment of scripture left to be seen in the rebuilding of a physical temple over in the physical land of Israel although that may occur as a means to keep the many blind who have remained in or are still in their Christian churches in disobedience to God who has long since called all His true people out (see Why leave all Christian churches? and Should Christians depart out from ALL churches? ). 

Again, in our review, it cannot be over emphasized that God teaches that the rebuilding of the Old physical temple was fulfilled in the building of the New Testament Church, for that which was only a type or foreshadow of things to come (the ancient physical temple) has been superseded by the true temple, namely the very body of Christ, which is His Eternal Church, the elect of God themselves. Externally or corporately, this temple or Church became seen as all the local Christian churches and denominations that sprang up everywhere around the world during the Church Age because that is where God's true and eternal people (the body of Christ) used to gather for worship even though many of the churchgoers during the Church Age were really never saved, but they were tares planted by the devil in preparation to be used by God for the final spiritual destruction of the entire corporate temple or Christian Church from May 21,1988 to September 7,1994. But today, God's Eternal Church has long since obeyed Christ to depart out from the external or corporate Christian Church as He is already in the process of separating the wheat (the true Christians) from the tares (the counterfeit Christians - to see this, download and read the book Wheat and Tares ), which refers to the wheat (the true people of God) departing out from all the external denominations and churches now seen throughout the world to be separate from the unholy tares who are all the unsaved Christians who now fill the Christian churches (see Why leave all Christian churches? and Should Christians depart out from ALL churches? ). 

But, in continuation of our review, not only has the nature of, and time for, the rebuilding of the temple been changed by the Little Horn by use of the false teachings of Dispensationalism (also called Zionism), but so also has the nature of, and times for, the Great Tribulation and the Antichrist, again, all according to the working of the Little Horn, the counterfeit Christ and Antichrist (also termed "the Man of Sin" although he is not a man) , Satan himself, for remember, we were told in Daniel 7:25 that, yes, this Little Horn or Antichrist who was given rule over the whole corporate Christian Church would " cast down the truth " and change the " times and laws " in the Christian churches, particularly during the Latter Days that we have been in, especially ever since May 21,1988 when the Great Tribulation began as God's Judgment against His own house, the whole corporate Christian Church, which includes all the Christian churches on this planet, for " judgment [had to] begin at the House of God " (1Peter 4:17). As we already learned, according to most of these Zionist Christians (also called Dispensationals), the time of the Great Tribulation is yet future, but the Bible teaches that it already took place from May 21,1988 to May 21,2011 (see The Biblical Timeline , Proofs and evidence for the Timeline , How the last 3 endtime dates can be logically discovered , and carefully study everything on the Lords site ), and we are now in the Day of Yahweh (also called the Day of the Lord or Judgment) just before the end of this world when God, the Holy Spirit, has removed Himself from saving anyone else both in the Christian Church and the world, as He now works to expose the sins of the whole world before destroying them all, forever, on the Last Day in the Lake of Fire. So, Dispensationalism or Zionism has, as we have mentioned, changed time for the Great Tribulation. 

But Dispensationalism or Zionism has not only changed the time for the Great Tribulation, but also the nature of it, for they, like most so-called Christians, are still looking for a physical tribulation such that, for instance, that they will not be able to buy or sell physical goods like food and other things for living. But the Bible teaches that the Great Tribulation would be completely spiritual just as it was. It was not that true Christians could not buy or sell physical goods, but it was that they could not bring or receive the true word of God to do with these final days in the Christian churches without being silenced in some way (spiritually killed - see Revelation 13:17 and 13:17 part 2 ). You see, the Great Tribulation was a time when the whole corporate Christian Church or temple, which includes all Christian churches on this earth, was given over to the counterfeit Christ, the Antichrist (also called the Man of Sin, the Little Horn, the Abomination of Desolation, and the Beast), Satan himself, as God's Judgment against them by great deception and with all power and lying wonders, signs, or miracles so that everyone in a Christian church worshipped the Beast without even knowing it (see Revelation 13:8 , 12 , 13 , 13p2 , 13p3 , 14 , 15 , 16  and everything else in Revelation 13 since it teaches on the Great Tribulation). Furthermore, the Great Tribulation was also a time when true spiritual salvation was taken away in the whole Christian Church (see Daniel 8:11 ). Only counterfeit salvations have been taking place ever since then at the hand of the counterfeit holy spirit, the devil himself, through his counterfeit Christians who have been permitted to take over the Christian churches. The true Christians then departed out from their Christian churches to obey their Lord to escape God's Judgment that had come upon all the Christian churches. So, we see that Zionism has not only changed the time for the Great Tribulation, but also the nature of that tribulation, not only saying that it is yet future, but also saying it will be some kind of physical tribulation when Christians will no longer be able to buy or sell physical goods such as food unless they receive the Mark of the Beast. They are wrong on both counts, but their lies have been one of the things helping to blind the Christian Church to what has really been taking place as God feeds them a strong delusion so that they believe a lie (2Thessalonians 2:11). 

But now, we also had learned that Zionism also changed the time for and nature of the Antichrist. Yes, It incorrectly teaches that the Antichrist has not yet come, and that when he does come, he will be a man. But the truth is that the Antichrist already came on May 21,1988 to begin the Great Tribulation and God's judgment against the corporate Christian Church as he became seated to rule over them, and he is not a man but a spirit, Satan himself (see Who is the Antichrist? ), who took his seat of rule in the Christian temple, the corporate Christian Church, beginning on May 21,1988, and by September 7,1994 of the Great Tribulation, he had gained complete rule over the entire corporate Christian Church both to deceive them by false gospels, false prophets, counterfeit pastors, counterfeit evangelists, counterfeit Christians, counterfeit teachings, counterfeit signs and wonders such as counterfeit salvations, apparent healings, the making of people to fall backward, the receiving of counterfeit direct messages from God, counterfeit visions, counterfeit dreams, and the like; and to even bring an end to eternal salvation in and through the whole corporate Christian Church, as well as deceiving them all into worshipping the Beast, the devil himself, along with all his workings through all his counterfeit Christians that took over the corporate Christian Church that all Christian churches on earth belong to. And no, it is not those outside the Christian Church who have received the Mark of the Beast, but it is those who have remained in the Christian churches in disobedience to Christ who have ongoingly been being given the Mark of the Beast, for all the unsaved out in the world already had the Mark of the Beast, which mark, by the way, is completely spiritual and not some physical mark, computer chip, number, passport, or brand yet to come in the future (see Revelation 13:16 , all of Revelation 13 , Daniel 7:7-8 , Revelation 11:7-10 , some parts of Revelation 17 , Revelation 8:7-9 , 8:10-13 , which is all about the Great Tribulation, as well as Daniel 8:11 to begin to realize that salvation came to an end in and through the Corporate Christian Church during the Great Tribulation). 

Now, moving on in our review of our last study, besides many of the evangelical Christian, Zionist churches falsely teaching and believing that the rebuilding of the temple is still future and refers to the rebuilding of the Old Jewish physical temple over in the land of Israel where Jerusalem is located on Mount Moriah as mentioned earlier, they also falsely teach a literal 1,000-year reign of Christ from the Old Testament Jerusalem after a physical 7-year Great Tribulation period on this earth that most of them do not believe has even yet begun when the truth is, that the 1,000-year reign of Christ is simply symbolic of the completeness of years of Christ's rule ever since the many days of Judgment Day began on May 21,2011 and to the very end, no matter how many years of Christ's rule that may literally be (see Bible Numbers 10, 100, and 1000 ). Indeed, ever since May 21,2011, Christ has been ruling with what the Bible calls a Rod of Iron as He continues using the devil to bring His Judgment against the whole world by, first, exposing their sins, and then on the Last Day destroying them all for their sins, forever, in what the Bible terms the Lake of Fire as the word of God declares in Revelation 20:15, 

"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire ." 

The number 1,000, you see, is used symbolically to refer to the completeness of whatever is in view, and in this case, what is in view is the completeness of years of Christ's rule, no matter how many years that may be. In fact, never is the number 1,000 used literally in the Bible, but, for instance, it was also used to symbolize the completeness of years of Christ's rule during the 1,955 years of the Church Age from Pentecost in 33 AD to the beginning of the Great Tribulation on May 21,1988 (see Revelation 20:2 and scroll down to the verse 2 commentary to begin reading). Thus, unfortunately for Christian Zionists or Dispensationals, who are many, the 1,000-year reign of Christ is not a literal 1,000 years yet to come in the future as they teach to be gospel truth, but it refers to the spiritual reign of Christ right now as He brings His spiritual Judgment, symbolized by His ruling with a Rod of Iron, against the whole corporate Christian Church and the whole world ever since His Judgment began on May 21,2011 and until the very end, no matter how long that may actually be. And remember, a 1,000 year reign of Christ also refers to Christ's rule throughout the Church Age in the Bible, which we now know was exactly 1,955 years according to the very accurate , Biblical Timeline of History (again, click on Revelation 20:2 and scroll down to the verse 2 commentary to begin reading about this).  

Ok, there is much more we could say about Zionism, but before we move on from Zionism to some of the other false teachings that have been used by the Little Horn of Daniel 8:12 to come against the " daily sacrifice" (that is, to come against the truth who is Jesus Christ), and according to Daniel 7:25, to change " times and laws " for these Latter Days, there is one more thing to be mentioned about Zionism (again, theologically called Dispensationalism or Dispensational Premillennialism): Yes, Dispensationalism incorrectly teaches that there will be a mass conversion of the nation of Israel to Christ during their wrongly proposed 7-year Great Tribulation period just before Christ returns to rule from Jerusalem for a wrongly supposed literal 1,000 years. Many of them believe that the 2-witnesses of Revelation 11 will be Moses (representing the law) and Elijah (representing the prophets) who will appear during their wrongly supposed 7-year Great Tribulation with signs and wonders to set off a great period evangelism and eternal salvations for the people in the nation of Israel whether in its entirety or in part. But this is all a wrong understanding of the 2-witnesses, for the 2-witnesses, we have learned, are God's true people (the Eternal Church), who prophesied the gospel during the Church Age, and who were spiritually killed (silenced) in the Christian churches during the Great Tribulation (see Revelation 11:1-6 ; 7-10 ). A key verse Dispensationals take out of context in support of their incorrectly proposed mass conversion of Jews to Christ in the Nation of Israel has been Romans 11:25-26. So, let's turn to Romans 11:25-26 and just briefly discuss it. There we read, 

25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel [the Jewish nation of Israel], until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in .
26 And so all Israel shall be saved ... 

Notice first, " that blindness in part is happened to Israel [the Jewish nation of Israel] until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in ." The Christian Zionist takes this, as do we, to mean that the nation of Israel has been blinded in part to Christ. That is, only a small remnant of the nation of Israel have ever believed in Christ even to this very day, for, as the verse states, they have been blinded in part " until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in ," meaning, to most of them, that the blindness in part of the nation of Israel will come to an end after all the Gentiles to be saved have been saved. Then, most Dispensationals believe that after the Church has been raptured to heaven, their, wrongly proposed, 7-year Great Tribulation will begin during which they believe the nation of Israel will be evangelized by the coming of the 2-witnesses that many of them believe will either be the spirit of Moses and Elijah working through men or Moses and Elijah themselves, in great power with signs and wonders, and at that time, most or many in the nation of Israel will come to believe that Christ is their Savior and Messiah. This is what verse 26, " And so all Israel shall be saved ," means to many of them, as they read into the verse in such a way to make it say something like this: And so [then] all Israel shall be saved ," as if after God has saved all the Gentiles that He plans to save, then many, if not all, of the so-called Jewish nation of Israel will be converted to Christ. Some take the term " all Israel " in verse 26, " And so all Israel shall be saved ," to literally mean all the nation of Israel as a whole, while others take it spiritually to mean all the remaining Jews to be spiritually saved in the nation of Israel.

Whatever the case, all Chrisian Zionists believe there is yet a glorious future for the Nation of Israel when they will finally bare much fruit in believing that Christ is their true Messiah. This is why they incorrectly believe that the national of Israel should be supported at all cost, and all Christians should align themselves with Zionism to offer their prayers and support to the nation of Israel; otherwise, they are being delinquent in their Christian faith, so many Zionists think in their hearts. After all, according to Zionism, the nation of Israel is about to be blessed by Yahweh with much turning to Christ, who, after their wrongly supposed 7-year Great Tribulation, is then supposed to return to the nation of Israel to rule over it and the whole world from Jerusalem for 1,000 literal years. So, now you can begin to understand why so many Christian Zionists (theologically called Dispensationals or Dispensational Premillennials) do not understand why all Christians are not supporting the nation of Israel in a big way. In fact, many of them actually believe that non-Zionist Christians are sinning and need to repent to better understand the Endtimes. 

But the truth is, the Zionist Christians need to repent, for Romans 11:26, which states, " And so all Israel shall be saved ," does not teach what many of them claim it does. The word " so " (transliterated from Greek as "houtOs") in the verse " And so all Israel shall be saved " does not mean, and then all Israel shall be saved once all the Gentiles that are to be saved have been saved. No, the word " so " (pronounced and transliterated, "houtOs") does not mean then, but it means in this manner. Never does it mean then with respect to time as if, and then (after the remnant of Gentiles have been saved) all Israel shall be saved. So, we can translate verse 26 like this: " And in this manner all Israel shall be saved ." And in what manner shall all Israel be saved? Well, in the manner described earlier in the context of this verse, which includes Chapters 10 and 11, which, in short, reveals that God finally turned to the Gentiles to give to them the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ because of the nation of Israel's rebellion, blindness, and hardness of heart against Christ. Nevertheless, God, we learn in chapter 11, has not forsaken His people in the nation of Israel because He has always been saving a remnant of them, like the apostle Paul, Peter, John, James, and many others throughout history even until May 21,2011 when salvation finally came to an end. And in the New Covenant during the Day of Salvation from Pentecost of 33 AD until salvation came to an end on May 21,2011, God's saving of a remnant of the Gentiles from every nation, who are a part of the true Israel, was what God used to make the remnant of the nation of Israel, who are also a part of the true Israel, become jealous and so seek after and find salvation in Christ just as the remnant of Gentiles had done through Jesus Christ. And then our verse 26 says, " And so [in this manner] all Israel shall be saved ." This does not mean all or many of the nation of Israel shall be saved after all the Gentiles to be saved have been saved as many Dispensational Christians believe, but in this manner up until salvation came to an end on May 21,2011, all the true Israel, including both the remnant of Gentiles and Jews together, were being saved through this manner of God ongoingly turning away from the nation of Israel over and over due to their hardness of heart and blindness to save the remnant of the Gentiles, and then this ongoing saving of the Gentile remnant causing the remnant of the nation of Israel that were to be saved becoming saved over and over again as they turned to Christ out of jealousy because of the Gentiles being saved. This process or manner of salvation for both the Gentile remnant and the Jewish remnant is what took place over and over again during the Day of Salvation until salvation finally came to an end on May 21,2011. " And so [in this manner] all Israel [not all the nation of Israel, but all the true Israel of God, consisting of both a remnant of the Jews and the Gentiles together as one body of Christ] [were] saved " through Jesus Christ during the Day of Salvation. This is what verse 26 means when it says, " And so [in this manner] all Israel shall be saved ." It in no way means that all or many in the nation of Israel will be saved during some incorrectly proposed, yet future, mass salvation of Jews during a wrongly supposed, yet future, 7-year tribulation or during some wrongly supposed, future, literal, 1,000-year reign of Christ from Jerusalem.

And so, when Romans 11:25 says, " that blindness in part is happened to Israel [the nation of Israel] until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in ," once all the Gentiles had come in by May 21,2011, so also had all the Jews, for as God continued to go to the Gentiles with the gospel throughout the Day of Salvation due to the Jews blindness and hardness of heart, at the same time, a remnant of the Jews came to Christ in salvation out of jealousy toward the Gentiles coming to salvation. It is this manner of salvation that would take place from Pentecost in 33 AD until salvation came to an end on May 21,2011 that brought to fulfillment what God and the apostle Paul said in verse 26, " And so [in this manner of the chosen remnant of Gentiles and Jews being saved together in Christ] all Israel [all the true Israel, consisting of a remnant from every nation, including the gentile remnant and the remnant from the Jewish nation] shall be saved ," and indeed, " all Israel " was already saved by when the Day of the Lord began, once again, on May 21,2011 according to our careful study of the Holy Bible. Indeed, just as it was in the days of Noah: when Noah closed the door to the ark, no one else could be saved. And when God had risen up on May 21,2011 and closed the door of the spiritual ark, namely Jesus Christ Himself, so also no one else could be saved ( Gods 7-day warning to Noah was a 7,000-year warning for us and Proofs and evidence for the accuracy of the Timeline ). 

  CONCLUSION & SUMMARY 

So, what we accomplished in this study of Daniel 8:12 part 4 was not only a review of our past couple studies on how Christian Zionism (theologically called Dispensationalism or Dispensational Premillennialism) has been used by the Little Horn, who is the Antichrist, Satan himself, that God installed in the corporate Christian church to bring His judgment against them, to come " against the daily sacrifice [the truth, Jesus Christ] " and " cast down the truth to the ground " with Christian Zionist lies to change " times and laws " as Daniel 7:25 said over 2,500 years ago that this Little Horn would do, but we also learned in this study one of the main passages in the Bible that Christian Zionists have used to support a future, mass conversion of Jews in the nation of Israel to Christianity. This passage is Romans 11:25-26, which says, 

25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel [the Jewish nation of Israel], until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in .
26 And so all Israel shall be saved ... 

But unfortunately for Christian Zionists, these two verses do not in any way support a mass conversion of the nation of Israel when more carefully examined. When verse 26 states, " And so all Israel shall be saved ," it is not referring to the nation of Israel becoming saved, but it is referring to the true Israel of God becoming saved, which are all God's true people, a remnant of both Gentile and Jews together, who all became saved by May 21,2011 before salvation came to an end. Indeed, we saw that when God says, " And so all Israel shall be saved ," it means that " And in this manner all Israel shall become saved ," and " in this manner " referred to what the verses of Romans chapters 10 and 11 describe, which revealed that because of the nation of Israel's hardness of hearts, rebellion, blindness, and rejection of Christ, God sent the gospel to the Gentile remnant instead of the Jews to save them in Christ. This then caused the Jewish remnant to become jealous so that they also turned to the gospel to become saved in Christ. And so, this process took place over and over again throughout the Day of Salvation from Pentecost of 33 AD until the many days of God's spiritual Judgment came upon the whole world on May 21,2011 so that, by then, " And so [in that manner] all Israel [not all the nation of Israel sometime in the future but both a remnant of the Jews and Gentiles together] shall be saved " and were saved when we were still in the Day of Salvation that finally came to an end on May 21,2011. No, there will be no future golden age for the nation of Israel when most, if not all, of that nation will come to Christ, for Christ cursed the nation of Israel as a whole, forever, in the Fig Tree Parable, except, of course, those remnant of Jewish apostles and believers that God saved until the Church Age and the Day of Salvation ended on May 21,2011. 


Now, until the next time, may " Yahweh bless thee, and keep thee: Yahweh make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: Yahweh lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace " (Numbers 6:24-26).
