The keys to unlocking bible prophecy

3. 2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. 3 The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable. 4 Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.
Proverbs Chapter 25

12. 10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.

13. 7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
Revelation Chapter 4

14. The prophecies contained within the book of Daniel have been the subject of detailed investigation and study for many years.
These prophecies are very specific and detailed; and many have been very clearly fulfilled in the geopolitical events occurring in the region over the centuries.
Just like the book of Revelation (which mirror Daniel’s prophecies), the prophecies of Daniel are encoded; and one of the principle coding systems used is the number of days in the prophetic calendar.
The Book of Daniel

15. The Book of Daniel Some things to note:
The prophecies in the book of Daniel are mostly about the ‘times of the gentiles’.
The book is written part in Hebrew and part in Aramaic.
The language change is aligned to the prophetic visions from God and the intended recipient.

16. The Days of the Book of Daniel
24 Seventy weeks [490] are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city …
16 Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times [2520] pass over him.
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time [1260].
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days [1335].
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days [1290].
14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days [2300]; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

17. Prophetic Time Line of Daniel

18. 1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them.
2 Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.
6 Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Daniel Chapter 5

19. 7 … the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom. 8 Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.
Daniel Chapter 5

20. 17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
19 And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down.
21 And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
18 O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:
20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:
22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;

38. Evenly divisible by numbers from 1 to 10
If you use the ‘number of days’ that are encoded within the prophecies of Daniel, you can calculate forward to dates in the future where significant world events took place in relation to the nation of Israel and Jerusalem.
Evenly divisible by numbers from 1 to 10

39. The year 1917 in the Gregorian western calendar is doubly indicated within the prophecies of Daniel as being a final date, in which the “seven times” (2520 days) and also the 1335 days expire on the gentile punishment of Israel and Jerusalem as forewarned by God.

But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
