Hi Makarios, Daniel 12:7, "And I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, as he raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time; and as soon as they finish shattering the power of the holy people, all these events will be completed." Hebrews 2:5, "For He did not subject to angels the world to come, concerning which we are speaking." Hebrews 2:5, NKJ, "For He has not put the world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels." Makarios, I think that these verses are interesting in comparing when we consider the importance of angels. Although important, what we want to see through these ministering spirits is Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels. We don't see all things subjected to Him yet, but we do see Him, namely Jesus. So I think that we have to see the difference between the Angel, even He who lives forever, and the angels who are ministering spirits. 1) Although the man dressed in linen seemed to know the outcome of these events and the time period, these things aren't subject to angels, Heb 2:10. Hebrews 2:21, "And it is He who changes the times and the epochs;..." 2) As for me, I will go my way until the end of my life. Daniel 12:13, "But as for you, go your way to the end; [marginal note, i.e. end of your life] then you will enter into rest and rise again for your allotted portion at the end of the age." For me, the important time is NOW, TODAY, knowing that everything is in His hands. From the heart, Ray |

Greetings Ray! "And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end." Daniel 12:9 "Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man." John 1:51 "For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham." Hebrews 2:16 "The Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him," Matthew 25:31 "And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." Revelation 19:10 "Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call yet upon him while he is near:" Isaiah 55:6 "(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." 2 Corinthians 6:2 "Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else." Isaiah 45:22 I continue to pray for you during this time! Whenever I do not see any posts from you during a day's time, I am motivated towards prayer for you. Take care, my brother in Christ, and I pray that you would be comforted to know that a Christian's life is full of new beginnings, not endings! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Makarios |

Hi Makarios, Thank you for your kind words, prayers, and encouragement. I am surprised that you are quoting from the King James to me today. Can I talk with you about Hebrews 2:16? King James has four pronouns of Deity and the NASB has only two. This is significant when we think of Jesus as God and as Man. He was obligated to be made like His brethren in all things. Hebrews 2:14, "Since then the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same,..." Even though He was Spirit, He was God, He became a Man to die for us. And He is now our faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. Hebrews 2:17. I praise God with you. From the heart, Ray |
