Here is my prediction for January 2026:
There will be a flood of epic proportions later on this month. This will be the sign that:
Daniel's 70th week has begun
The war in heaven took place
The devil was cast out of heaven
The 1st seal has been opened
The rider on the white horse has come
The world as we know it will end in January 2033
This blog post is for anybody who has ever heard anything about Daniel's 70th week. I want to challenge everything you have ever heard or believe because I think most of what we've been told to see and to think is based on lies or bad interpretation at the very least.
I believe these are the top 2 lies concerning Daniel's 70th week:
1. Jesus said no man knoweth the day or the hour of the Rapture.
2. The devil is in charge of the first half of Daniel's 70th week.
In short, you need to reimagine your eschatology because of those 2 lies.
The truths are:
1. Jesus said in Matthew 24:35-36 Heaven and earth shall pass away... BUT of that day and hour knoweth no man.
2. God is in charge of every aspect of Daniel's 70th week.
The bible tells us the devil "will" wear out the saints in Daniel 7:25. But, God is the one who pours out Tribulation, Great Tribulation and Wrath not the devil.
You need to reimagine Daniel's 70th week based on the 2 truths not the 2 lies.
Bottom line: You can and should know when Jesus will return.
[24]Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
[25]Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
[26]And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
[27]And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
God told Daniel about a period of time commonly known as Daniel's 70 weeks. Daniel's 70 weeks is God's road map to the end of time. In other words, the world as we know it will end 7 years after Daniel's 70th week starts. (This causes problems for who those who believe a 3rd lie... We shall rule and reign with Christ on the earth for a thousand years. The Milllennium will take place DURING Daniel's 70th week not afterwards.)
If you believe those 3 lies then you will have great difficulty reimagining the truth.
[24]Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
One week represents 7 years. So, 70 weeks is 490 years.
God said once the 490 years are up sin will come to an end, everlasting righteousness will begin and Jesus will be anointed the most Holy. That is not exegesis. That is simply what God said.
[25]Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks (49 years), and threescore and two weeks (434 years): the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
The 70 weeks were broken down into 7 weeks (49 years), 62 weeks (434 years) and 1 week (7 years).
The end of the 1st 7 weeks (49 years) was marked by the rebuilding Jerusalem. The 7 weeks ended and then there was a pause of a few years before the 62 weeks (434 years) started.
[26]And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
There are 4 prophecies in verse 26.
1. The 62 weeks (434 years) ended with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, the Christ, the Messiah, the Prince to come around AD 33. This started the 2nd pause between the 69th and 70th week. We are waiting for this pause to end and the last week (7 years) to begin.
2. The people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. This event took place in AD 70. This means "the people" were the Romans. "The prince that shall come" is Jesus. Jesus used the Romans to destroy the city and the sanctuary in AD 70. Most people think the prince to come is the Antichrist and Jerusalem will be destroyed again during Daniel's 70th week. This would be the 4th lie people believe. The prince has not come, again, yet.
3. The end thereof shall be with a flood. Daniel's 70th week is the beginning of the end. It will start with a flood in AD 2026.
4. Daniel's 70th week ends in AD 2033 after 7 years of desolations. The world as we know it will end in January AD 2033.
The Milllennium will take place in heaven during Daniel's 70th week. How? A day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is as a day... to those in heaven.
Heaven and earth shall pass away sometime after the last week comes to an end. Peter, James, John and Andrew asked Jesus about the end of the world in the Olivette discourse. Jesus told them Heaven and earth shall pass away... BUT of that day and hour knoweth no man. There is one thing I cannot tell you... when heaven and earth shall pass away.
[27]And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week (7 years): and in the midst of the week (3.5 years) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
The last week starts when "he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week (7 years)". Most people think 'he' refers to the Antichrist. 'He' refers to Jesus, the Christ, the Messiah, the Prince to come.
The covenant that Jesus confirms is God's covenant to not destroy the earth with a flood again.
Daniel's 70th week starts after the war in heaven where the devil and his angels are cast out.
[7]And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
[8]And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
[9]And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
The devil will try to make God a liar by destroying the earth with a flood. This should take place in January 2026. This means the war in heaven is taking place right now or later this month.
[15]And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
I am thinking the rider on the white horse causes the earth to swallow up the flood. Then Satan makes war with, aka wear out, the saints. Do not confuse this with the Tribulation God will cause.
[16]And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
[17]And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
I imagine the following event will take place after the flood and the covenant is confirmed... Look for this event to take place later this month as well...
[13]And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
The first seal will be opened after this event.
[2]And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
The rider is riding a white horse.
The rider has a bow, a rainbow, the promise of God.
The rider is given a crown.
It is possible the rider is Jesus. I can't say for sure because only Jesus is worthy to open the seals. If he goes to earth conquering and to conquer then he has to go back to heaven to open the rest of the seals. It is possible he could do this but the bible doesn't explicitly say he is the rider on the white horse.
What does the bible say? Jesus rides a white horse...
[11]And I saw heaven opened, and behold a WHITE horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
What if this is the same horse and rider as...
[2]And I saw, and behold a WHITE horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
John told us there was a rainbow round about the throne...
[2]And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
[3]And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a RAINBOW round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
Who sits on a throne with a rainbow? Jesus.
Who has a white horse? Jesus.
It is possible Jesus is the rider on the white horse. If not, then the rider is definitely an angel of God, not the antichrist.
[27]... in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease...
Jesus will cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease in the midst of the week not the antichrist.
7 years is 2520 days long. This number is calculated as 30 day months times 12 months times 7 years... without adjusting for leap months or leap years. The midst of the week (7 years) is 1260 days into the 70th year, i.e. half of 2520 days or 3.5 years.
[31]And arms shall stand on HIS part, and THEY shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and THEY shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
The arms shall stand on HIS part... on the part of Jesus. Jesus will cause them to take away the daily sacrifice.
THEY shall pollute the sanctuary.
THEY shall take away the sacrifice.
THEY shall place the abomination that maketh desolate... not the antichrist.
The math is easy. If July 2029 is the halfway point then the daily sacrifice and the Abomination of Desolation will take place in July 2029. Subtract 3 years from 2029 and subtract 6 months from July and you get January 2026 as the start of Daniel's 70th week.
How did I choose July 2029? I covered this in a previous blog post. The short answer is 2029 is the next Jubilee year.
[12]Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
I believe the Day of Atonement is the 1335th day, the day every eye sees Jesus. The Day of Atonement takes place in September 2029. Subtract 1335 days from September 2029 and the start of Daniel's 70th week will be January 2029.
The war in heaven is taking place right now or within the next 3 weeks. We'll know when the war is over when there is a flood of epic proportions in 2-3 weeks and then every creature on earth praises God.
You won't see, accept or believe what I've said until you repent of the 4 lies you believe:
1. No man knoweth the day or the hour of the Rapture
2. The devil is in charge of the 1st half of the week
3. We shall rule and reign for 1000 years with Christ on the earth
4. The white horseman is of the devil
