Preface

As the Times of the Gentiles Comes to an End

One of the most fascinating books of the Bible is the biblical book of Daniel. Although this book is named after Daniel, who wrote it, it is a divine message sent down from before the divine throne in heaven by two of the heavenly archangels who minister before the divine throne in heaven, the archangels Michael and Gabriel.

These two heavenly princes brought down to Daniel the information of the historical events, which were to take place from the time of the Babylonian empire under Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, right down to the very day when in Jerusalem the divine service in the temple will be resumed in the Messianic era.

This time is referred to in the Jewish prayer books as ‘the reign of wickedness’ (see the silent prayer of the Mincha service in the Jewish prayer books). The Christians refer to this time as ‘the time of the gentiles’; that is the time in which the temple in Jerusalem would lay in ruins and the service of the temple would be abolished.

When this time comes to end, it will be the time for Israel to be re-gathered from the four corners of the earth back to the Holy Land, the time of the Messianic era. Many are the secrets that the book of Daniel contains, secrets concerning just what was to happen throughout the thousands of years of world history.

This book reveals these secrets; it is the result of more than 15 years of research and study; it deals with the history of the Babylonian, Median, Persian, Greek and Roman empires, the history of the Russian Revolution, the abdication of Edward VIII of England, the rise to power of Adolph Hitler, his persecution of the Jews, and the time allotted to him to carry out his aim to eliminate the Jews from the face of the earth.

It deals with the abdication of King Leopold III of Belgium, the loss of the great nations of their dominions, and the fatal accident of the Hollywood movie queen, Grace Kelly, who became Princess of Monaco.

It concerns the age at which the Queen Mother of England would pass away (at the age of one hundred and one), and the fatal accident of Princess Diana of England. The identification of the anointed one who is to be cut off in the Messianic era, and much more!

The author guarantees that after reading this book and its sequel, the reader’s life will never again be the same for he or she will be so moved by its contents, either positively or negatively, that a stand will be made.

For the Choirmaster; a song with instrumental music, a Psalm May God be gracious to us and bless us, may He make His countenance shine upon us forever; that Your way be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations. The nations will extol You God; all the nations will extol You. The nations will rejoice and sing for joy, for You will judge the peoples justly and guide the nations on earth forever. The peoples will extol You God, all the peoples will extol You, for the earth will have yielded its produce and God, our God, will bless us. God will bless us; and all, from the furthest corners of the earth shall fear Him. - Psalm 67.

Introduction

The book that you are now holding in your hand is not just another book; it is a divine message, which was revealed to Daniel, one of the descendants of the royal house of David, King of Israel. He served the Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar, at the royal court in Babel, and later the kings of the Medes and Persia. The message was brought to him in dreams and visions by two of the archangels who stand before the divine throne of glory in heaven – the archangels Michael and Gabriel. The message reveals the concealed prophetic events, which were to take place in the time of the end of days. These secret prophecies for the end of days had previously been revealed to the patriarch Jacob, but Jacob never told anyone about what had been revealed to him, because the information he had received was too terrifying for him to reveal, so he kept it secret. He thought to reveal this concealed secret knowledge to his twelve sons, the heads of the twelve tribes of Israel when the time for him to pass away from this world would arrive. Then would be the right time, he thought, to share with his sons what had been revealed to him from heaven. So when the patriarch was about to pass away from this world, he called together his twelve sons; his desire was now to share these prophecies for the end of days with his twelve sons. The Torah (the five books of Moses) states of this, ‘He called together his sons and he said, Gather yourselves together, that I may reveal unto you that which will befall you in the last days. ’ (Genesis 49:1). But as Jacob was about to do so, the Holy Spirit left him and he never was able to share this knowledge with his sons. For instead of revealing what would befall them in the end of days, he ended up blessing his sons before he died.

Thousands of years later, after the building and the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem, when Israel (the ten tribe nation) was dispersed among the nations of the world and the house of Judah to Babylon, Daniel, a descendant of the royal house of David, received this concealed knowledge at the royal courts of Babylon, Media and Persia. But Daniel, just as the patriarch Jacob, was not allowed from heaven to reveal all of this secret knowledge, as he states in chapter 7:28: ‘Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my spirit greatly troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.’ Daniel, just as Jacob the patriarch before him, kept the matter in his heart; he did not wish to reveal what had been revealed to him from heaven, because it was so frightening that his very countenance changed! In chapter 8:27 Daniel states: ‘And I, Daniel, I was broken up and ill for many days, then I arose and took care of the king’s business, I was confounded by the vision, but no one perceived.’ Here Daniel states that because of the vision, he became ill for many days, he was broken up, unable to function. Then in chapter 12:4 Daniel was instructed by the two archangels: ‘As for you, Daniel, obscure the matters and seal the book until the time of the end, let many muse and the knowledge will increase. So Daniel disclosed only the major parts of this concealed prophetic knowledge and the rest he obscured. See chapter 7:1–28.

Some thirty years in the past, the author of this book was doing research on the ‘Holy Oil of Anointing’ and on the origins of the ‘Stone of Scone’ when he received in the visions of the night some very strange sights, and just as Jacob and Daniel, he did not wish to share what had been revealed to him, and just as Jacob and Daniel, he kept the matter hidden in his heart for he wanted no part of the delusions of this age and time. But some of what had been revealed to him came to pass, such as the spilling of much blood in the Holy Land through terrorists etc.

At long last, no longer able to ignore what was being revealed to him, he consulted with two of the leading Cabalists, one in Jerusalem and the other in Italy; the one knew not the other, but both of them gave the same answer, ‘the author had been called from heaven to reveal the secret prophetic knowledge for the end of days!’ This happened some thirty years in the past, and all that time the author studied and sometimes he wrote but never revealed all that was revealed to him. Now he has decided that the time has come, with the permission of the heavenly court, to reveal the secret knowledge for the end of days. The author is not allowed from heaven to disclose all of this knowledge in one single volume; the reason is that there is to be a sifting of those who search for truth and for those who will reject the truth as is stated by the two archangels to Daniel: ‘And he said, Go, Daniel, for the matters are obscured and sealed till the time of the end. Then they will be selected and made clear, and many will be refined; but the wicked will remain wicked for none of the wicked will understand, but they that are wise will understand. ’ - Daniel 12:9–10

This is the first volume written with the permission of the heavenly tribunal. See the enclosed letter of the Italian Cabalist on the following pages.

Daniel at the Royal Babylonian Court

In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, came Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon unto Jerusalem and he besieged it. And the Almighty gave Jehoiakim the king of Judah into his hand, with part of the sacred vessels of the temple of the Almighty; and Nebuchadnezzar carried them unto the land of Shinar to the temple of his idol, and the sacred vessels he brought into the temple of his god.

And the king spoke to Ashpenaz, the chief of his officers, that he should bring in certain of the children of Israel, of the royal seed, and of the nobles, youths free of any blemish and of a fair countenance, to look upon, skilful in all wisdom, also skilful in knowledge, and of discerning thought, such as would be worthy to stand in the king’s palace; and he should teach them the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans. And the king appointed for a daily portion of the king’s food, and of the wine which he drank, and he ordered that they be so nourished for three years, that at the end of the three years they would be qualified to stand before the king in the king’s palace.

Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. And the chief officer gave names to all of them: Daniel he named Belteshazzar; Hananiah he named Shadrach; Mishael he named Meshach; Azariah he named Abednego.

But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, nor with the wine, which the king drank; therefore he requested of the chief officer that he might not defile himself. And the Almighty granted Daniel mercy and compassion in the sight of the chief officer. And the chief officer said to Daniel: ‘I fear my lord the king who has appointed your food as also your drink; for why should he see your faces sad in comparison with the youths that are of your own age? So you would endanger my head with the king.’

Then said Daniel to the steward, whom the chief officer had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. ‘Try your servants, I request you, for ten days, and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink. Then let our countenances be looked upon by you, and the countenances of the youths that eat of the king’s food; and as you see, so deal with your servants.’

So he listened to them concerning this matter, and he tried them for ten days. At the end of the ten days their countenances appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh than all the youths that did eat of the king’s food. So the steward took away their food, and the wine that they should drink, and he gave them pulse. Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all manner of visions and dreams. And at the end of the days, which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the chief officer brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. And the king spoke to them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah; therefore they stood before the king. And in all matters of wisdom and understanding that the king required of them, he found them to be ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in his entire realm. And Daniel continued even to the first year of King Cyrus. - Daniel 1:1–21

The Five Levels of the Soul

We see that Daniel did not wish to eat of the king’s food nor drink of the king’s wine because he did not wish to contaminate his soul. As a Jew he was under the law of Leviticus chapter 11, which lists the kosher foods which a Jew is allowed to consume and the non-kosher foods which are forbidden to be consumed by a Jew. The king’s food was not kosher. Furthermore it was food which was offered as a sacrifice to the king’s idols, so Daniel refused to eat of the king’s table for he had reached a very high level of sanctity as we can see from the very fact that he was beloved of God (see the book of Daniel chapter 9:23).

Obviously Daniel had reached the level of Chaya which is the level preceding that of Yechida, Eternal life. Which is the level of Adam prior to his sin.

The soul has five levels of sanctification, these are:

1.   Nefesh – most humans have only reached this level

2.   Ruach

3.   Neshama

4.   Chaya

5.   Yechida

Author’s Comments

In the book of Proverbs it is written concerning ‘the fear of God’. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom but the foolish despise wisdom and discipline (see Proverbs 1:7).

Then in Proverbs 1:33 it is written, ‘But he who listens to wisdom, he shall dwell securely, and he shall be quite without fear of evil.’

In Proverbs 8:13 it is stated, ‘The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; pride and arrogance, the evil way and the forward mouth, do I hate.’

‘The fear of the Lord prolongs days; but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.’ (Proverbs 10:27.)

‘The fear of the Lord is the fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.’ (See Proverbs 14:27.)

‘How great is Your goodness which You have laid out for those who fear You. You have wrought for they who put their trust in You before the sons of men.’ (Psalm 31:20.)

‘The Lord reveals His secrets to those who fear Him.’ (Amos 3:7. Daniel 2:22, 28, 29, 47.)

We shall see throughout the book that all of these divine promises were fulfilled in the life of Daniel, at the royal Babylonian court, the royal court of the Medes, and at the royal court of Persia! The expulsion and deportation of these four youths from the holy city of Jerusalem came about in fulfilment of a prophecy, which had been uttered by the prophet Isaiah in the days of Hezekiah, king of Judah as is stated in the book of 2 Kings, Chapter 20.

In those days Hezekiah became critically ill, when Isaiah the son of Amoz, the prophet came to him, and said to him, ‘So has the Lord said, Give orders to your household for you are going to die and you shall not live. ’ And he turned his face toward the wall and he prayed to the Lord, saying, ‘Please, O Lord, remember now, how I walked before You. Truly and wholeheartedly, and I did what was good in your eyes.’ And Hezekiah wept profusely. And it was when Isaiah was gone out of the inner court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying, ‘Return to Hezekiah the ruler of My people, and say, So has the Lord the God of your father David said, I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears, Behold I shall heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord. And I will add fifteen years to your life, and I will save you from the hand of the king of Assyria, I will save you and this city, and I will protect this city for my sake and for the sake of my servant David. ’

The days to which the text is referring were the days when Jerusalem, the holy city, was under siege from the king of Assyria, who in his arrogance blasphemed the God of the children of Israel, as is stated.

And it was in the fourth year of King Hezekiah (the king of the two tribe nation) that is the seventh of Hoshea the son of Elah the king of Israel (the ten tribe nation), that Samaria was captured. And the king of Assyria exiled Israel to Assyria, and he settled them in Haiah and in Harbor, the Gozan river, and in the cities of Media. Because they did not obey the Lord their God and transgressed His covenant, all that He had commanded Moses the servant of the Lord, and they did not obey nor did they do His will. And in the fourteenth year of Hezekiah, Sennacherib the Assyrian king came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and he seized them. And Hezekiah the Judean king sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, ‘I have sinned, withdraw from me; and whatever you impose, I will bear.’ And the king of Assyria imposed upon Hezekiah, king of Judah, three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold. And Hezekiah gave all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord and in the treasuries of the king’s palace.

At that time Hezekiah stripped the doors of the Lord’s temple, and the threshold, which Hezekiah, the king of Judah had overlaid, and he gave them to the king of Assyria. And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabars, and Rabshakeh from Lachis to king Hezekiah with an army and a great multitude to Jerusalem, and they went up and they stood near the conduit of the upper pool, which is on the road to the washer’s field. And they summoned the king, and Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, who was the administrator of the palace, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, came to them. And Rabshakeh said to them, ‘Say now to Hezekiah, so has the great king of Assyria said, what is this confidence that you have trusted? ’ - 2 Kings 18:9–19

And Rabshakeh stood and he called out in a loud voice in Judean, and he spoke and said, ‘Listen to the word of the great king, the king of Assyria! So has the king said, Let not Hezekiah make you to rely upon the Lord saying the Lord will save us and this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria. Do not listen to Hezekiah, for so has the king of Assyria said, make peace with me, and come out to me, and each man will eat of his vine and each of his fig tree, and each man will drink the water of his cistern. Until I come and take you to a land like your land, a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land yielding olives and honey, that you may live and not
