Lately there is a lot of speculation going around that Yeshua’s / Jesus’ second coming will be this coming April becasue of a coming solar eclipse on 2024-04-08. It wont be. It’s too early. It is also speculated that the solar eclipse will start the tribulation. It wont be. It’s to early. There is still much which has been prophecied from the holy prophets, including Joseph Smith, that has not happened yet. In the prophecies of the darkened sun it is followed closely with a blood moon, also known as a total lunar eclipse. Below are websites where you can see when these events have and will happen.
- Solar Eclipses
- Lunar Eclipses
One reason I have come across that people claim that this coming solar eclipse deals with Yeshua’s / Jesus’ second coming is because they think that 2024 is a Jubilee year. It’s not. The next Sabbatical year is 2029 and the next Jubilee Year is 2030. I do understand that some events that are listed at Jubilee are subjective, but there are many things that are not. The most important one happened in the year 30 AD when Yeshua / Jesus made it possible for all us to be free from our personal sins and physical death with His death on the cross and His resurrection three inclusive days and nights later. Another false claim being attached to the coming solar eclipse is that it is the sign of Jonah. One reason is it’s not is because that was finished with the destruction of the second temple in 70 AD, 40 years after Yeshua’s / Jesus’ death on the cross during Passover in 30 AD. Another reason this solar eclipse is not the sign of Jonah, is that it has not been 40 Jubilees, 2,000 years, since Yeshua / Jesus performed the atonement to save all those who come under His covering.
There have been many other false prophecies perpetuated in the recent years, that have done nothing but emptied believer’s wallets into false preacher’s pockets. I am aware of three big ones. First the Blood Moon Tetrad which ended in 2015-09-28, which scriptures only talk about one blood moon dealing with Yeshua’s / Jesus’ second coming. Second the woman clothed with the sun in 2017-09-23 which did not take into account everything that Revelation 12 states about the event, which is very symbolic not to mention the man child is Yeshua / Jesus. In addition where do the holy prophets teach us how to interpret the stars in a manner that would support any of the distinct ways that people claim this happened in 2017-09-23? Third are false interpretations of Ezra’s Eagle and the feathers being USA presidents. Franklin D Roosevelt served three full terms and died two months and 23 days into the fourth term, meaning that if the feathers were about USA presidents no USA president could serve two full terms because Franklin D Roosevelt only had a little more than three terms. Benjamin Sickles from Torah is Eternal led Scripture Study 2024-02-10 expounding Ezra’s Eagle showing how the feathers are nations and bringing out connections to D&C LDS 87.
2 Esdras 11:17 There shall none after thee attain unto thy time, neither unto the half thereof.
False preachers are using these signs in the heavens, and other false interpretations, to cause fear to come upon mankind in order to sell their books. They claim there is no other place to get the information you need, and they make false promises of salvation. Jeremiah 10:2 speaks out against such things. Nephi in 2 Nephi (LDS 25:7-8) (RLDS 11:11-14) brings out how the prophecies from YHWH Elohim through Isaiah that are hard to understand, “men shall know of a surety” that the prophecies have happened “at the times when they shall come to pass”. With the Lehites there was no question, even among the wicked, that the signs that dealt with Yeshua’s / Jesus’ birth came to pass, and many were converted because of it. Sadly, when prophecies that YHWH gave through His holy prophets come true, many did still harden their hearts and said they just got lucky in guessing these things, see Helaman (LDS 16:13-16) (RLDS 5:125-128).
Jeremiah 10:2 This is what the LORD [YHWH] says:
A Do not learn the ways of the nations
-B or be terrified by the signs in the heavens,
A though the nations themselves are terrified by them.2 Nephi (LDS 25:7-8) (RLDS 11:11-14)
AA 7 But behold, I proceed with mine own prophecy,
A-B according to my plainness;
A-B in the which I know that no man can err;
AA nevertheless,
-BA in the days that the prophecies of Isaiah
-B-B shall be fulfilled
-B-B men shall know of a surety,
-BA at the times when they shall come to pass.
AA 8 Wherefore, they are of worth unto the children of men,
A-B and he that supposeth that they are not,
A–C unto them will I speak particularly,
A—D and confine the words unto mine own people;
A—D for I know that they shall be of great worth
A–C unto them in the last days;
A-B for in that day shall they understand them;
AA wherefore, for their good have I written them.3 Nephi (LDS 1:15-16) (RLDS 1:16-18)
A 15 And it came to pass that the words which came unto Nephi were fulfilled,
-B according as they had been spoken;
–C for behold, at the going down of the sun
—D there was no darkness;
—-E and the people began to be astonished
—D because there was no darkness
–C when the night came.
-BA 16 And there were many,
-B-B who had not believed the words of the prophets,
-BA who fell to the earth and became as if they were dead,
AA for they knew that the great plan of destruction
A-B which they had laid
A–C for those who believed
A–C in the words of the prophets
A-B had been frustrated;
AA for the sign which had been given was already at hand.3 Nephi (LDS 1:22) (RLDS 1:25-26)
AA 22 And it came to pass
AB that from this time forth
-BA there began to be lyings
-BB sent forth among the people,
-BC by Satan,
–C to harden their hearts,
—D to the intent that they might not believe
—D in those signs and wonders
–C which they had seen;
-BA but notwithstanding these
-BB lyings
-BC and deceivings
AA the more part of the people did believe,
AB and were converted unto the Lord [YHWH].Helaman (LDS 16:13-16) (RLDS 5:125-128)
AA 13 But it came to pass in the ninetieth year of the reign of the judges,
AB there were great signs given unto the people, and wonders;
AC and the words of the prophets began to be fulfilled.
-BA 14 And angels did appear unto men, wise men,
-BB and did declare unto them glad tidings of great joy;
-BC thus in this year the scriptures began to be fulfilled.
-BA 15 Nevertheless, the people began to harden their hearts,
-B-B all save it were the most believing part of them,
-B-B both of the Nephites and also of the Lamanites,
-BA and began to depend upon their own strength and upon their own wisdom, saying:
AA 16 Some things they may have guessed right,
A-B among so many;
A-B but behold, we know that all these great and marvelous works cannot come to pass,
AA of which has been spoken.
When someone is claiming something is from YHWH Elohim, that is not, they are false prophets and are taking YHWH’s name in vain, breaking the third division of Torah, and it is like witchcraft and divining according to Jeremiah 14:14, Ezekiel 22:28, Acts 13:6. At minimum such people should be removed from the congregation as taught in Deuteronomy 18:9-14, Ezekiel 13:1-9 and Alma (LDS 30:19-21) (RLDS 16:20-23). At worst these false prophets are to be put to death as YHWH Elohim states in Deuteronomy 18:15-22. The sad thing is most people want false prophets that tell them that everything is okay when they give them money as described in Isaiah 30:10 and Helaman (LDS 13:24-29) (RLDS 5:33-40) in addition to kicking out the holy prophets who are trying to help them become like Yeshua / Jesus by telling them how they are not acting like Him. Hopefully these false prophets will see the error of their ways and repent. Their repentance needs to be as public as their false preaching was. Depending on their motives they need to give back what they charged people plus an additional twenty percent as taught in Numbers 5:7-8. Otherwise as YHWH Elohim stated in D&C (LDS 42:28,37) (RLDS 42) (1835 44,47) (1835 13) (1844 13) through the holy prophet Joseph Smith they are to be cast out of His church.
Exodus 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord [YHWH] thy God [Elohim] in vain; for the Lord [YHWH] will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.
Deuteronomy 5:11 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord [YHWH] thy God [Elohim] in vain: for the Lord [YHWH] will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Mosiah (LDS 13:15) (RLDS 7:115) Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord [YHWH] thy God [Elohim] in vain; for the Lord [YHWH] will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Jeremiah 14:14 Then the Lord [YHWH] said unto me [Jeremiah], The [false] prophets prophesy lies in My [YHWH] name: I [YHWH] sent them not, neither have I [YHWH] commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
Ezekiel 22:28 And her [Israel] [false] prophets have daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord [YHWH] God [Elohim], when the Lord [YHWH] hath not spoken.
Acts 13:6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus:

-BA 16 According to all that thou desiredst
-B-B of the Lord [YHWH] thy God [Elohim] in Horeb

A 1 And the word of the Lord [YHWH] came unto me, saying,

—DA 4 O Israel,

—DC are like the foxes in the deserts.
—-EA 5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps,
—-EB neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel
—-EC to stand in the battle in the day of the Lord [YHWH].
—-EA 6 They have seen vanity and lying divination,

—DA 7 Have ye not seen a vain vision,

A and ye shall know that I am the Lord [YHWH] God [Elohim].Alma (LDS 30:19-21) (RLDS 16:20-23)
A 19 Now this man went over to the land of Jershon also,

-BB who were once the people of the Lamanites.
–CA 20 But behold they were more wise than many of the Nephites;

-BB who was a high priest over that people.
AA 21 And it came to pass that he caused that he should be carried out of the land.
A-B And he came over into the land of Gideon,

A-B and do all manner of iniquity unto them [holy prophets],

-B–C we would not have slain the [holy] prophets;
-B-B we would not have stoned them [holy prophets],

–C—-E and seek all manner of ways to destroy him [holy prophet];
–C—D yea, you will say that he [holy prophet] is a false prophet,

AA 29 O ye wicked and ye perverse generation;

A 28 Thou knowest my laws concerning these things
-B are given in my scriptures;
-B he that sinneth and repenteth not
A shall be cast out.
…
A 37 And it shall come to pass,
-BA that he that sinneth and repenteth not
-BB shall be cast out of the church,
–C and shall not receive again
–C that which he has consecrated unto the poor
-B and the needy of My [YHWH] church,
A or in other words, unto Me [YHWH]—
The above are examples where YHWH Elohim has allowed for strong delusions to be taught by false teachers and false leaders. Some will claim that 2 Thessalonians 2:11 YHWH Elohim teaches that YHWH Elohim can and will teach a lie, for a delusion is another word for lie. But there are plenty of scriptures that let us know that YHWH Elohim does not lie and thus we can trust His words and promises. A correct translation of 2 Thessalonians 2:11 shows this. The key with 2 Thessalonians 2:11 is “G3992: pempo” should be translated as “permit” instead of “send”, because otherwise how can you trust YHWH Elohim’s words. In addition it is not just for the highest Judge to condemn us for believing something He said and taught. I go over this in Scripture Study 2024-01-18. These false teachings happen because people look beyond the mark and because of vain ambitions along with pride. As believers and members of a church, we are to call out such wicked and perverse teachings. When people started teaching heresies during the New Testament church, Paul called them out to warn others from accepting their false teachings.
2 Nephi (LDS 28:14) (RLDS 12:16-17)
A They wear stiff necks and high heads;
-BA yea, and because of pride,
-B-B and wickedness,

–C they have all gone astray save it be a few,
—D who are the humble followers of Christ [the Messiah];
–C nevertheless, they are led,
-B that in many instances they do err
A because they are taught by the precepts of men.2 Thessalonians 2:10-12
A 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;
-B because they received not the love of the truth,
–C that they might be saved.
—D 11 And for this cause God [Elohim]
—-E shallsend[permit] them strong delusion,
—D that they should believe a lie:
–C 12 That they all might be damned
-B who believed not the truth,
A but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

—–FA-B and it shall fall upon the inhabitants of the earth.
—–FAA 14 And the arm of the Lord [YHWH] shall be revealed;

—–F-BB neither the voice of His [YHWH] servants,

——-H–C but every man walketh in his own way,

——–IAAA 17 Wherefore, I the Lord [YHWH],
——–IAAB knowing the calamity
——–IAAC which should come upon the inhabitants of the earth,
——–IA-B called upon My [YHWH] servant Joseph Smith, Jun.,
——–IA-B and spake unto him from heaven,
——–IAA and gave him commandments;
——–IBA 18 And also gave commandments to others,
——–IB-B that they should proclaim these things
——–IB–C unto the world;
——–IB-B and all this that it might be fulfilled,
——–IBA which was written by the prophets—
——-HA 19 The weak things of the world
——-H-BA shall come forth and break down
——-H-BB the mighty and strong ones,
——-H–C that man should not counsel his fellow man,
——-H—D neither trust in the arm of flesh—

—-EA 24 Behold, I am God [Elohim] and have spoken it;
—-E-B these commandments are of Me [YHWH],
—-E–C and were given unto my servants in their weakness,
—-E-B after the manner of their language,
—-EA that they might come to understanding.
—DAA 25 And inasmuch as they erred
—DAB it might be made known;
—D-BA 26 And inasmuch as they sought wisdom
—D-BB they might be instructed;
—D-BA 27 And inasmuch as they sinned they might be chastened,
—D-BB that they might repent;
—DAA 28 And inasmuch as they were humble
—DA-B they might be made strong,
—DA-B and blessed from on high,
—DAA and receive knowledge from time to time.
–CAA 29 And after having received the record of the Nephites,
–CA-B yea, even my servant Joseph Smith, Jun.,
–CA–C might have power to translate
–CA–C through the mercy of God [Elohim],
–CA-B by the power of God [Elohim],
–CAA the Book of Mormon.
–C-BA 30 And also those to whom these commandments were given,
–C-B-B might have power to lay the foundation of this church,
–C-B–C and to bring it forth out of obscurity and out of darkness,
–C-B–C the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth,
–C-B-B with which I, the Lord [YHWH], am well pleased,
–C-BA speaking unto the church collectively and not individually—
–C–CAA 31 For I the Lord [YHWH] cannot look upon sin
–C–CAB with the least degree of allowance;
–C–C-BAA 32 Nevertheless, he that repents
–C–C-BAB and does the commandments of the Lord [YHWH]
–C–C-BAC shall be forgiven;

–C—DA 34 And again,
–C—D-B verily I [YHWH] say unto you,
–C—D–C O inhabitants of the earth:

-B—-E My [YHWH] word shall not pass away,
-B—D but shall all be fulfilled,
-B–C whether by Mine [YHWH] own voice
-B-B or by the voice of My [YHWH] servants,
-BA it is the same.
AA 39 For behold, and lo, the Lord [YHWH] is God [Elohim],
A-B and the Spirit beareth record,
A-B and the record is true,
AA and the truth abideth forever and ever. Amen.Jacob (LDS 4:14) (RLDS 3:22-25)
A But behold, the Jews were a stiffnecked people;
-B and they despised the words of plainness,
–C and killed the prophets,
—D and sought for things that they could not understand.
—-E Wherefore, because of their blindness,
—D which blindness came by looking beyond the mark,
–C they must needs fall;
-B for God hath taken away his plainness from them,
AA and delivered unto them many things which they cannot understand,
A-B because they desired it.
A-B And because they desired it God hath done it,
AA that they may stumble.1 Timothy 1:19-20
19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 20 Of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.2 Timothy 1:15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me [Paul]; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
2 Timothy 2:17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenæus and Philetus;
2 Timothy 4:10 For Demas hath forsaken me [Paul], having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
The 2300 evenings and mornings from Daniel 8 is not part of the end times prophecies because it has already happened as recorded in 1 Maccabees. KJV Daniel 8:14 has a translation issue which does not show up in KJV Daniel 8:26 in that in KJV Daniel 8:14 it is combining evening and morning into one word of day instead of leaving it as evening and morning as in KJV Daniel 8:26. Although most translatios of Daniel 8:14 use evening and morning, which you can see here parallel of Daniel 8:14, the Daniel 8:14 interlinear is showing “H1242: boqer” as day instead of morning as the Hebrew word denotes. Daniel 8:19,23-25 does have to deal with the end times, as shown in Daniel 8:23 and the use of “H0319: acharit” which deals with the latter days but not the 2300 evenings and mornings.
Daniel 8
AAAA 1 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar
AAAB a vision appeared unto me,
AAAC even unto me Daniel,
AA-B after that which appeared unto me at the first.
AA–C 2 And I saw in a vision;
AA–C and it came to pass,
AA-B when I saw,
AAAAA that I was at Shushan in the palace,
AAAAB which is in the province of Elam;
AAA-B and I saw in a vision,
AAAA and I was by the river of Ulai.
A-BAA 3 Then I lifted up mine eyes,
A-BAB and saw, and, behold,
A-B-BA there stood before the river a ram [Medo-Persia] which had two horns:
A-B-BB and the two horns were high;
A-B–CA but one was higher than the other,
A-B–CB and the higher came up last.
A-B—D 4 I saw the ram [Medo-Persia] pushing
A-B—-EA westward,
A-B—-EB and northward,
A-B—-EC and southward;
A-B—D so that no beasts might stand before him,
A-B–C neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand;
A-B-B but he did according to his will,
A-BA and became great.
A–CA 5 And as I was considering, behold,
A–C-B an he goat [Greece] came from the west
A–C–C on the face of the whole earth,
A–C–C and touched not the ground:
A–C-B and the goat [Greece] had a notable horn [Alexander]
A–CA between his [Greece] eyes.
A—DA 6 And he [Greece] came to the ram [Medo-Persia] that had two horns,
A—DB which I had seen standing before the river,
A—DC and ran unto him [Medo-Persia] in the fury of his [Greece] power.
A—DA 7 And I saw him [Greece] come close unto the ram [Medo-Persia],
A—D-B and he [Greece] was moved with choler against him [Medo-Persia],
A—D–C and smote the ram [Medo-Persia],
A—D—D and brake his [Medo-Persia] two horns:
A—D—D and there was no power in the ram [Medo-Persia] to stand before him [Greece],
A—D–C but he [Greece] cast him [Medo-Persia] down to the ground,
A—D-B and stamped upon him [Medo-Persia]:
A—DA and there was none that could deliver the ram [Medo-Persia] out of his [Greece] hand.
A–CA 8 Therefore the he goat waxed [Greece] very great:
A–C-B and when he [Greece] was strong,
A–C–C the great horn [Alexander] was broken;
A–C-B and for it came up four notable [four generals]
A–CA ones toward the four winds of heaven.
A-BA 9 And out of one of them [four generals] came forth a little horn [Antiochus],
A-B-B which waxed exceeding great,
A-B–C toward the south,
A-B–C and toward the east,
A-B—D and toward the pleasant land [Jerusalem].
A-B—D 10 And it waxed great,
A-B–C even to the host of heaven [claiming he was god];
A-B–C and it [Antiochus] cast down some of the host [followers]
A-B-B and of the stars to the ground,
A-BA and stamped upon them.
AAAA 11 Yea, he [Antiochus] magnified himself
AAAB even to the prince of the host [god],
AA-BA and by him [Antiochus]
AA-BB the daily sacrifice was taken away,
AA–CA and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
AA–CB 12 And an host was given him
AA—DA against the daily sacrifice
AA—DB by reason [because] of transgression,
AA—-EA and it [Antiochus] cast down the truth to the ground;
AA—-EB and it practised [accomplish], and prospered.
AA—-EA 13 Then I [Daniel] heard one saint speaking,
AA—-EB and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake,
AA—DA How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice,
AA—DB and the transgression of desolation,
AA–CA to give both the sanctuary
AA–CB and the host to be trodden under foot?
AA-BA 14 And he [saint] said unto me [Daniel],
AA-BB Unto two thousand and three hundreddays[evenings and mornings] [2300 evenings and mornings / 1150 days / 38 moons and 10 days];
AAAA then shall the sanctuary
AAAB be cleansed.
BAA 15 And it came to pass,
BA-B when I, even I Daniel,
BA–C had seen the vision,
BA–C and sought for the meaning, then, behold,
BA-B there stood before me
BAA as the appearance of a man.
B-BAA 16 And I [Daniel] heard a man’s voice
B-BAB between the banks of Ulai,
B-BBA which called, and said, Gabriel,
B-BBB make this man [Daniel] to understand the vision.
B–CA 17 So He [Gabriel] came near where I [Daniel] stood:
B–C-B and when He [Gabriel] came,
B–C–C I [Daniel] was afraid,
B–C—D and fell upon my [Daniel] face:
B–C—D but He [Gabriel] said unto me [Daniel],
B–C–C Understand, O son of man [Daniel]:
B–C-B for at the time of the end
B–CA shall be the vision.
B—DA 18 Now as He [Gabriel] was speaking with me [Daniel],
B—D-B I [Daniel] was in a deep sleep
B—D–C on my [Daniel] face toward the ground:
B—D-B but He [Gabriel] touched me [Daniel],
B—DA and set me [Daniel] upright.
B—-EA 19 And He [Gabriel] said,
B—-E-B Behold, I [Gabriel] will make thee know [future / Daniel 12]
B—-E-B what shall be in the last end [future] of the indignation:
B—-EA for at the time appointed the end shall be [end times].
B—–FAA 20 The ram [Meod-Persia] which thou [Daniel] sawest having two horns
B—–FAB are the kings of Media and Persia.
B—–FBA 21 And the rough goat [Greece] is the king of Grecia:
B—–FBB and the great horn [Alexander] that is between his eyes is the first king.
B—–FCA 22 Now that being broken,
B—–FC-B whereas four stood up for it [four generals],
B—–FC-B four kingdoms [four generals] shall stand up out of the nation,
B—–FCA but not in his [Alexander] power.
B—-EA 23 And in the latter time [after] of their kingdom [Greece],
B—-E-B when the transgressors are come to the full [end times],
B—-E–C a king [AntiChrist / Moon Child] of fierce countenance,
B—-E-B and understanding dark sentences [desolation],
B—-EA shall stand up.
B—DA 24 And his [AntiChrist / Moon Child] power shall be mighty,
B—D-B but not by his [AntiChrist / Moon Child] own power:
B—D–C and he [AntiChrist / Moon Child] shall destroy wonderfully,
B—D—D and shall prosper,
B—D–C and practise [accomplish],
B—D-B and shall destroy the mighty
B—DA and the holy people [murder].
B–CA 25 And through his [AntiChrist / Moon Child] policy
B–C-B also he [AntiChrist / Moon Child] shall cause craft [wickedness]
B–C–C to prosper in his [AntiChrist / Moon Child] hand;
B–C—D and he [AntiChrist / Moon Child] shall magnify himself [AntiChrist / Moon Child] in his heart,
B–C—D and by [claiming] peace shall destroy [murder] many:
B–C–C he [AntiChrist / Moon Child]shall also stand up against
B–C-B the Prince of princes [Yeshua];
B–CA but he [AntiChrist / Moon Child] shall be broken without hand [stone / planet].
B-BAA 26 And the vision of the evening and the morning
B-BAB which was told is true:
B-BBA wherefore shut thou up the vision;
B-BBB for it shall be for many days.
BAA 27 And I Daniel fainted,
BA-B and was sick certain days;
BA–C afterward I rose up,
BA–C and did the king’s business;
BA-B and I was astonished at the vision,
BAA but none understood it.
1 Maccabees 1:54 tells us the 2300 evenings and mornings started on the 15th day of the 9th moon of the 145th year. 1 Maccabees 4:52–53 tells us the 2300 evenings and mornings ended on the 25th day of the 9th moon [Hanukkah] of the 148th year. Which gives us 3 years and 10 days. 2300 evenings and mornings is talking about the two daily lambs of the Law of Moses which still had to be done at this time see Exodus 29:38-42 and Numbers 28:1-8, more on this subject see Law of Moses. 2300 evenings and mornings is 1150 days. 1150 days is 38 moons and 10 days. Keeping in mind the Lunar Cycle Change that happened around 700 BC, 30 days represents a full cycle of a moon as it does in other prophecies. There were 38 moons between the 9th moon of the 145th year and the 9th moon of the 148th year because years 145 and 147 had a 13th Moon, which is scriptural as you can see at 13th Moon. Because of the calendar change that happened with the Lunar Cycle Change around 700 BC the Hebrews added an occasional 13th Moon where other nations handle this issue other ways including adding 5 non count days at the end of the year see Calendar Changes. The 13th Moon is needed to keep YHWH’s High Holidays in the correct season that the scriptures describe them in. If you care to look at Moons.Jerusalem.1583-2032.csv or Moons.Independence.1583-2032.csv you will see that two years of 13 Moons in a three year period happens often. Even the Hillel II Calendar has two instances in it’s nineteen year cycle, when a three year period has two years with 13 Moons, namely the 6th and the 8th along with the 17th and the 19th years. I just want to mention that the Hillel II Calendar has problems such as unscriptural postponement days to resolve the fact that 10th day of the 1st moon can not be a weekly sabbath which is resolved with YHWH’s Lunar Sabbath and how they are using signs before they happen see Calendar Changes for additional problems. One thing to keep in mind with the 2300 evenings and mornings is the fact that 23 is symbolic of judgement and restoration (see The Significant Meaning Of The Number 23 In The Bible), which both meanings are playing out in the prophecy of 2300 evenings and mornings.
KJV 1 Maccabees 1:54 Now the fifteenth day of the month Casleu [ninth], in the hundred forty and fifth year, they set up the abomination of desolation upon the altar, and builded idol altars throughout the cities of Juda on every side;
KJV 1 Maccabees 4:44 And when as they consulted what to do with the altar of burnt offerings, which was profaned;
KJV 1 Maccabees 4:46–47
46 And laid up the stones in the mountain of the temple in a convenient place, until there should come a prophet to shew what should be done with them. 47 Then they took whole stones according to the law [Torah], and built a new altar according to the former;KJV 1 Maccabees 4:52–53
52 Now on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month [Hanukkah], which is called the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and eighth year, they rose up betimes in the morning, 53 And offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new altar of burnt offerings, which they had made.KJV 1 Maccabees 4:56 And so they kept [not started] the dedication of the altar eight days [Hanukkah] and offered burnt offerings with gladness, and sacrificed the sacrifice of deliverance and praise.
Exodus 29:38-42
AA 38 Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar;
AB two lambs of the first year DAY BY DAY continually.
-BA 39 The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning;
-BB and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:
–CA 40 And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil;
–CB and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering.
—D 41 And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even,
–CA and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning,
–CB and according to the drink offering thereof,
-B for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the Lord [YHWH].
AA 42 This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord [YHWH]:
AB where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee.Numbers 28:1-8
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them,
AA My offering,
AB and my bread for my sacrifices
AC made by fire,
AD for a sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.
-BA 3 And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the Lord [YHWH];
-B-B two lambs of the first year without spot DAY BY DAY, for a continual burnt offering.
-B-B 4 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even;
-BA 5 And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.
–C 6 It is a continual burnt offering,
—D which was ordained [established / started] in mount Sinai for a sweet savour,
–C a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord [YHWH].
-BA 7 And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin
-BB for the one lamb:
-BA in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the Lord [YHWH] for a drink offering.
-BB 8 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even:
AA as the meat offering of the morning,
AB and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it,
AC a sacrifice made by fire,
AD of a sweet savour unto the Lord [YHWH].

As stated in KJV 1 Maccabees 4:46–47, after the Israelites created the altar with stones that were not cut with tools, they waited for a holy prophet to show them what to do. This shows that the sons of Levi should not reinstitute animal sacrafices without a holy prophet guiding them. The Temple Institute has made no mention of waiting for a holy prophet before reinstituting animal sacrifices, along with not following the ancient and eternal Torah on other aspects of what they have been doing. Malachi 3:1-6 [3 Nephi (LDS 24:1-6) (RLDS 11:2-9)] in connection with Exodus 32:25-29 and Numbers 8:5-22 shows that the sons of Levi need to wait for the Mighty and Strong One to purify them before they are authorized to do animal sacrifices again. With regards to Exodus 32:25-29 and Numbers 8:5-22 where Moses is sanctifying the sons of Levi, we need to remember that Moses was the Elisha / Elias / Mighty and Strong One of his day. Exodus 32:25-29 and Numbers 8:5-22 is a type and a shadow for the coming days in that Malachi 3:1-6 [3 Nephi (LDS 24:1-6) (RLDS 11:2-9)] is showing that the modern day Moses / Mighty and Strong One will be purifying the sons of Levi and anyone else who will listen to his teachings which he got from YHWH Elohim along with the Bible and the Book of Mormon see Mighty One Chiasmus. In addition during Scripture Study 2023-02-27 I show from the Book of Mormon that the Mighty and Strong One will be teaching Torah. In addition a careful read of some quotes from Joseph Smith shows that this will happen after Adam-ondi-Ahman. This is also taught in Daniel 12 as you will see shortly.
KJV 1 Maccabees 4:44 And when as they consulted what to do with the altar of burnt offerings, which was profaned;
KJV 1 Maccabees 4:46–47
46 And laid up the stones in the mountain of the temple in a convenient place, until there should come a prophet to shew what should be done with them. 47 Then they took whole stones according to the law [Torah], and built a new altar according to the former;KJV 1 Maccabees 4:52–53
52 Now on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month [Hanukkah], which is called the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and eighth year, they rose up betimes in the morning, 53 And offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new altar of burnt offerings, which they had made.Exodus 20:25 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
Deuteronomy 27:5 And there shalt thou build an altar unto the Lord thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them.
Malachi 3:1-6 [3 Nephi (LDS 24:1-6) (RLDS 11:2-9)]
AA 1 Behold, I [YHWH]
A-B will send My [YHWH] messenger [Mighty and Strong One],

-B-B and who [people] shall stand [arise] when he [Mighty and Strong One] appeareth [Isaiah 49:2, 1 Nephi (LDS 21:2) (RLDS 6:32)]?
-B-B for he [Mighty and Strong One] is like a refiner’s fire,
-BA and like fullers’ soap:
–CA 3 And he [Mighty and Strong One] shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver:
–C-B and he [Mighty and Strong One] shall purify the sons of Levi,
–C–C and purge them [sons of Levi] as gold [sanctification] and silver [justification],
–C-B that they [sons of Levi] may offer unto the Lord [YHWH]
–CA an offering in righteousness.
–CA 4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem
–C-B be pleasant unto the Lord [YHWH],
–C-B as in the days of old,
–CA and as in former years.
-BA 5 And I [YHWH] will come near to you to judgment;
-B-BA and I [YHWH] will be a swift witness against the sorcerers,
-B-BB and against the adulterers [including polygamy],
-B-BC and against false swearers,
-B–C and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages,
-B—D the widow,

AA 25 And when Moses saw that the people werenaked[unrestrained];

-BA 28 And the children of Levi
-B-B did according to the word of Moses:
-BA and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
AA 29 For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the Lord [YHWH],
A-B even every man upon his son,
A-B and upon his brother;
AA that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.Numbers 8:5-22
A 5 And the Lord [YHWH] spake unto Moses, saying,

AA so did they unto them.This is why Adam blessed his posterity; he wanted to bring them into the presence of God [Elohim]. They looked for a city, etc., “whose builder and maker is God [Elohim].” (Hebrews 11:10.) Moses sought to bring the children of Israel into the presence of God, through the power of the Priesthood, but he could not. In the first ages of the world they tried to establish the same thing; and there were ELIASES raised up who tried to restore these very glories, but did not obtain them; but they prophesied of a day when this glory would be revealed. Paul spoke of the dispensation of the fullness of times, when God [Elohim] would gather together all things in one, etc.; and those men to whom these keys have been given, will have to be there; and they without us cannot be made perfect.
Words of Joseph Smith, Kindle Locations 10618-10624, Kindle Locations 37425-37430; Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, page 159Now the purpose in himself [Yeshua/Jesus] in the winding up scene of the last dispensation is, that all things pertaining to that dispensation should be conducted PRECISELY in accordance with the preceding dispensationS. And again, God purposed in himself that there should not be an eternal fulness, until every dispensation should be fulfilled [taught] and GATHERED TOGETHER IN ONE … therefore he set the ORDINANCES TO BE THE SAME FOR EVER AND EVER …
… thus we behold the keys of this priesthood consisted in obtaining the voice of Jehovah, that he talked with him [Noah] in a familiar and friendly manner, that he continued to him the keys, the covenants, the power and the glory, with which he blessed Adam at the beginning; and THE OFFERING OF SACRIFICE, WHICH ALSO SHALL BE CONTINUED AT THE LAST TIME; for ALL THE ORDINANCES AND DUTIES that ever have been required by the priesthood, under the directions and commandments of the Almighty in any of the dispensations, SHALL ALL BE HAD IN THE LAST DISPENSATION. Therefore ALL THINGS HAD UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE PRIESTHOOD AT ANY FORMER PERIOD SHALL BE HAD AGAIN, BRINGING TO PASS THE RESTORATION spoken of by the mouth of all the holy prophets; then shall the sons of Levi offer an acceptable offering to the Lord [YHWH]. ‘And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord’ Malachi 3:3-4 [3 Nephi (LDS 24:3-4) (RLDS 11:6-7)].
IT IS GENERALLY SUPPOSED THAT SACRIFICE WAS ENTIRELY DONE AWAY WHEN THE GREAT SACRIFICE [Alma (LDS 34:10-15) (RLDS )] [i.e.,] THE SACRIFICE OF THE LORD [YHWH] JESUS [YESHUA] WAS OFFERED UP, AND THAT THERE WILL BE NO NECESSITY FOR THE ORDINANCE OF SACRIFICE IN THE FUTURE; BUT THOSE WHO ASSERT THIS ARE CERTAINLY NOT ACQUAINTED WITH THE DUTIES, PRIVILEGES AND AUTHORITY OF THE PRIESTHOOD, OR WITH THE PROPHETS.
The OFFERING OF SACRIFICE has ever been connected and forms a part of the duties of the Priesthood. It [offering of sacrifice] began with the Priesthood, and WILL BE CONTINUED UNTIL AFTER THE COMING OF CHRIST [THE MESSIAH] [Adam-ondi-Aham], from generation to generation. We frequently have mention made of the offering of sacrifice by the servants of the Most High in ancient days, PRIOR TO THE LAW OF MOSES, WHICH ORDINANCES WILL BE CONTINUED WHEN THE PRIESTHOOD IS RESTORED WITH ALL IT’S AUTHORITY [Joseph Smith did not restore everything put did got it started], POWER AND BLESSINGS.
… THESE SACRIFICES, as well as every ordinance belonging to the Priesthood, will, WHEN THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD [YHWH] SHALL BE BUILT [FUTURE], and the sons of Levi be purified, be fully restored and attended to in all their powers, ramifications, and blessings. This ever did and ever will exist when the powers of the Melchizedek Priesthood are sufficiently manifest; else HOW CAN THE RESTITUTION OF ALL THINGS spoken of by the Holy Prophets be brought to pass. IT IS NOT TO BE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE LAW OF MOSES [DAILY PERFORMANCES AND ORDINANCES] WILL BE ESTABLISHED AGAIN with all its rites and variety of ceremonies; this has never been spoken of by the prophets; BUT THOSE THINGS WHICH EXISTED PRIOR TO MOSES’ DAY, namely, SACRIFICE, WILL BE CONTINUED.
It may be asked by some, what necessity for sacrifice, since the great sacrifice was offered? In answer to which, if repentance, baptism, and faith existed prior to the days of Christ, what necessity for them since that time?
Joseph Smith, History of the Church Volume 4 pages 211–212, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith pages 172–173, Doctrines of Salvation Volume 3 page 94, The Words of Joseph Smith pages 38-44It will be necessary here to make a few observations on the doctrine, set forth in the above quotation, As it is generally supposed that Sacrifice was entirely done away when the great sacrifice was offered up—and that there will be no necessity for the ordinance of sacrifice in future, but those who assert this, are certainly not acquainted with the duties, privileges and authority of the priesthood. or with the prophets The offering of Sacrifice has ever been connected and forms a part of the duties of the priesthood. It began with the priesthood and will be continued until after the coming of Christ [the Messiah] [Adam-ondi-Ahman] from generation to generation—We frequently have mention made of the offering of Sacrifice by the servants of the most high in ancient days prior to the law of Moses [carnal commandment].

There are people claiming that the coming temple will be dedicated twice during two different Hanukkahs ten years apart. Claiming 2300 days with KJV Daniel 8:11 to the abomination of desolation from the first Hanukkah to dedicate the altar. Then 1335 days with KJV Daniel 12:11 from the abomination of desolation to the rededication of the coming temple during another Hanukkah. This simply can’t be the case for many reasons. First because the plain reading of KJV Daniel 8:11 and KJV Daniel 12:11. KJV Daniel 8:11 states that the sanctuary / temple would be cleansed after 2300 evenings and mornings not that sanctuary / temple will be desecrated after 2300 evenings and mornings. And then there is the inconvenient fact that the 2300 evenings and mornings has already happened as we have already gone over. In addition KJV Daniel 12:11 claims that the abomination of desolation is 1335 days after the daily sacrifice is taken away. KJV Daniel 12:11 translation has problems which I will go over later. If these two numbers were to be put together as some people claim, they should be put together with first the 1335 days from KJV Daniel 12:11 and then the 2300 days from KJV Daniel 8:11 with the abomination of desolation in the middle of them, if one is taking the context of the verses into account. It is as if they are simply curve fitting the numbers to get what they want instead of reading the context of the passages to use them correctly. Then there is the issue that no ten year period of Lunar Solar years adds up to 3635 days. As you can check from the years 1583 through 2032 in files TenYears.Jerusalem.1583-2032.csv and TenYears.Independence.1583-2032.csv, ten consecutive Lunar Solar years add up to 3631 days through 3633 days and 3661 days through 3663 days, the two ranges is because of the occasional 13th Moon. But even worse for this theory is how the scriptures teach that the coming temple and altar will not be desocrated as I first learned from the article Millennial Temple Model of Ezekiel 40 – 48 and how it brings out that Ezekiel 43:7 and Ezekiel 44:9 state that plainly and shows how the Greek of 2 Thessalonians 2 is mistranslated that people use to claim that the coming temple and altar will be desecrated.
KJV Daniel 8:11
AA-BA 14 And he [saint] said unto me [Daniel],
AA-BB Unto two thousand and three hundreddays[evenings and mornings] [2300 evenings and mornings / 1150 days / 38 moons and 10 days];
AAAA then shall the sanctuary
AAAB be cleansed.KJV Daniel 12:11 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.
SJR Daniel 12:11
-BA 11 And from the time that the [Torah] regular burnt offering [H8548]
-B-B are set up [H5414] [restored]
-B–C there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days [1290 days / 43 moons / 3 years and 7 moons]
-B-B until the turning aside [H5493] [full rejection of YHWH and Torah]
-BA which is the destable thing [H8251] that maketh desolate,Ezekiel 43:7 and 44:9 are very clear that “no foreigner uncircumcised in heart or in flesh shall enter My sanctuary.” Therefore the antichrist will never be entering this temple. With the understanding that this Millennial Temple will not be “defiled by the Antichrist,” let’s now take an honest look at what was shown to Ezekiel. As this study will show, Ezekiel was given a very detailed description of what Messiah’s temple will look like and the functions within it.
Millennial Temple Model of Ezekiel 40 – 48Ezekiel 43:7 And He [YHWH] said unto me [Ezekiel], Son of man, the place of My [YHWH] throne, and the place of the soles of My [YHWH] feet, where I [YHWH] will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and My [YHWH] holy name, shall the house of Israel NO MORE DEFILE, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.
Ezekiel 44:9 Thus saith the Lord [YHWH] God [Elohim]; No stranger, UNCIRCUMCISED IN HEART, nor UNCIRCUMCISED IN FLESH, SHALL ENTER INTO MY [YHWH] SANCTUARY [TEMPLE], of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.
Before beginning this study it is necessary to address a common teaching regarding a temple being built in Israel. Many Christian’s teach and believe that the next temple to be built in Jerusalem Israel will be one in which “the man of sin” or “the Antichrist” will enter into and defile by declaring himself to be God. These beliefs are supported mainly from one verse in Second Thessalonians 2:4, which states that the man of sin “sits as God in the temple of God showing himself that he is God.”
There are two different Greek words that are translated as “temple” in English. One word “hieron” is used by Paul when referring to an actual building made with wood and stones. The other word “naos” is used when referring to the spiritual temple of God which refers to His people. The word “naos” is the one used in this 2 Thessalonians 2:4 verse, and therefore is NOT talking about a physical temple.
Doug Fortune, in his article “Antichrist Revealed” writes:
Beginning with the Book of Acts, after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, through the Book of Revelation, the word naos is used ONLY referring to people as the temple not made with hands. When referring to the physical temple building the word hieron is used. Of course, throughout the Book of Revelation, the word naos is used, as that Book is the REVEALING of Jesus Christ, and He is revealed in the MIDST of the Lampstand, the CHURCH (Revelation 1:20). Why then is there so much confusion when 2 Thessalonians 2:4 speaks of the man of sin seated in the NAOS of God, “…which temple (naos) YE ARE…”(1Corinthians 3:17). Why are we looking for a man seated in a building yet to be built in the Middle-East, when we should be looking in the mirror? As the man of sin, the Adam nature is revealed and “the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of His mouth and bring him to an end by His appearing at His coming.” or “the brightness of His coming” (2 Thessalonians 2:8) as some translations read.

Millennial Temple Model of Ezekiel 40 – 48
Daniel 9 is another prophecy that has already completely happened that people try to apply to the second coming of Yeshua / Jesus. It became history with the destruction of the Temple on the 9th day of the 5th moon on 0070-08-30. Which the Jews themselves caused, see links below for support. The destruction of the second temple in 70 AD finished the prophecy of Jonah. The principal focus of Daniel 9 is Yeshua’s atonement and what it can do for us after we accept Yeshua / Jesus, and that it was performed in the middle of the last week of the seventy week prophecy. After Yeshua’s / Jesus’ death and ressurection, Yeshua / Jesus confirmed the the last half of the last week of the 70 weeks of years with the Jews. Many Jews converted during this 3.5 year period. After the 3.5 years Peter had a vision in Acts 10 about giving the gospel to the Gentiles. In addition Paul was called to be an apostle to the Gentiles. For those who are interested I have gone over Daniel 9 in detail during Scripture Study 2023-05-18 because it was requested. Daniel 9 is also telling us about the finishing of the Law of Moses / Daily Performances and Ordinances / Carnal Commandment which you can learn more about at Law of Moses.
Daniel 9:20-27
AA 20 And whiles I [Daniel] was speaking, and praying,
AB and confessing my [Daniel’s] SIN [WAS RECONCILIED] and the SIN of my PEOPLE ISRAEL [HAD CONSEQUENCES],
-BA and presenting my supplication before the Lord [YHWH] my God [Elohim]
-BB for the holy mountain [where YHWH gave the commandments],
-BC of my GOD [ELOHIM];
–CA 21 Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer,
–C-B even the Man Gabriel [Man of El],
–C-B whom I had SEEN in the vision at the beginning [previously],
–CA being caused to FLY SWIFTLY,
—D TOUCHED [CAME TO] ME ABOUT THE TIME OF THE EVENING OBLATION [OFFERING] [Law of Moses] [same word in Exodus 29:41].
–CA 22 And He informed me, and talked with me, and said,
–CB O Daniel,
–CC I AM now come forth to give thee SKILL and UNDERSTANDING.
-BA 23 At the beginning of thy supplications
-BB the commandment came forth,
-BC and I AM come to shew thee [Daniel];
AA for thou art greatly beloved:
ABA therefore UNDERSTAND the MATTER [THEME] [RECONCILIATION AND CONSEQUENCE OF SIN],
ABB and CONSIDER the VISION [SEVENTY WEEKS].
AA 24 Seventy weeks [vision and prophecy] are determined upon thy [Daniel’s] PEOPLE [ISRAELITES] and upon thy holy city [Jerusalem],
-BA to finish [annihilate] the transgression [sin] [of the first Adam],
-B-B and to make an end of [obstruct] [the effects of] sins,
-B–C and to make reconciliation [atonement] for iniquity [sin],
-B–C and to bring in everlasting righteousness [we are saved by Yeshua’s merits],
-B-B and to SEAL UP [MAKE SURE] [WITH BLOOD] [CORFIRM / PREVAIL] the vision and [which is] prophecy [covenant] [in the middle of the last week of the seventy weeks vision and prophecy],
-BA and to anoint [fill with the spirit] the most Holy [second Adam].
-BA 25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem
-B-B unto the Messiah the Prince [H5057] shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks:
-B–CA the street shall be built again [make ye His paths straight],
-B–CB and the wall [diligent] [separate from the world],
-B–CC even in troublous times [endure to the end].
-B—DA 26 And after threescore and two weeks
-B—DB shall [the] Messiah be cut off [die] [and SHED HIS BLOOD],
-B—DC but not for Himself [Yeshua]:
-B–CA and the PEOPLE [ISRAELITES] of the Prince [H5057] [the Messiah] that shall come [later] shall destroy [corrupt] the city [Jerusalem] and the sanctuary [temple]
-B–CB and the end thereof shall be with a flood [overflowing] [of Roman soldiers],
-B–CC and unto the end of the war [40 years after the death of the Messiah, part of the sign of Jonah] desolations [destruction] are determined.
-B-BA 27 And He [the Messiah] shall CONFIRM [PREVAIL] [SEAL UP / MAKE SURE] the covenant [vision and prophecy] with many [Israelites] for one week [last week of the seventy weeks for the Israelites]:
-B-BB and in the midst [middle] of the week He shall cause the [daily] sacrifice and the [burnt] oblation [offerings] [same word in Exodus 29:41] to cease [put an end to],
-BAA and for the overspreading of abominations [detested] [contemptable / sins of rejection] He shall make it [temple] desolate [destroyed] [40 years after the death of the Messiah, part of the sign of Jonah],
-BAB even until the consummation [complete destruction] [of the temple, 40 years after the death of the Messiah, part of the sign of Jonah],
A and that [which is] determined shall be poured upon [and cause] desolate [destruction] [of temple 40 years after the Messiah’s death, part of the sign of Jonah].Forty years before the destruction of the Temple [70 CE], the western light went out, the crimson thread remained crimson, and the lot for the Lord always came up in the left hand. They would close the gates of the Temple by night and get up in the morning and find them wide open.
Jacob Neusner, The Yerushalmi, page 156 – 157Our rabbis taught: During the last forty years before the destruction of the Temple the lot [For the Lord] did not come up in the right hand; nor did the crimson-colored strap become white; nor did the western most light shine; and the doors of the Hekel [Temple] would open by themselves

Before I start sharing some things that deal with the Important Coming Dates timeline, I want to bring out how both Joseph Smith and YHWH Elohim through Daniel said that the end time prophecies will be understood in the end time.
Christ [The Messiah] says no man knoweth the day or the hour when the Son of Man cometh (Matthew 24:36). … Did Christ [the Messiah] speak this as a general principle throughout all generations? Oh no, He spoke in the present tense. No man that was then living … knew the day or the hour. But He did not say that there was no man throughout all generations that should not know the day or the hour. No for this would be in flat contradiction with other scripture for the prophet (Amos 3:7) says that God [Elohim] will do nothing but what He will reveal unto His servants the prophets.
Joseph Smith, James Burgess Notebook, Words of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Ehat & Cook, 1843-04-06Daniel 12:4,8-
—DA 4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words,
—D-B and seal the book,
—D–C even to the time of the end:
—D-B many shall run to and fro,
—DA and knowledge shall be increased.
…
—DAA 8 And I heard, but I understood not:
—DAB then said I, O my Lord [YHWH],
—DAC what shall be the end of these things?
—DAA 9 And He [YHWH] said, Go thy way, Daniel:
—DAB for the words are closed up and sealed
—DAC till the time of the end.
It is also important to know that one mode of prophecy is using the past to prophecy the future. This is all over the scriptures including the Book of Mormon. One example is how Zeniff is a prophecy of Joseph Smith in Mosiah (LDS 9 – 10) (RLDS 6) as I show in Scripture Study 2020-11-29 verse by verse until time ran out. Another important one is how Mosiah (LDS 11 – 22) (RLDS 7 – 10) is a prophecy of Brigham Young and his church verse by verse showing how Brigham Young did the same things as king Noah and their followers ran into the same problems as shown in King Brigham. JST Genesis 18-19 is a prophecy of Yeshua’s / Jesus’ last hours including the last supper, the atonement and history of the church afterwards as shown in Scripture Study 2023-04-20.
Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
1 Corinthians 10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
1 Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
You will see in the coming explanations and timeline, that I am using scriptural history to help us understand the prophecies of the coming days. I am doing this because YHWH Elohim works in patterns. YHWH is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, so He will be setting up His Kingdom as He has in the past.
D&C (LDS 52:14) (RLDS 52) (1833 54) (1835 66) (1844 66) And again, I will give unto you a pattern in all things, that ye may not be deceived; for Satan is abroad in the land, and he goeth forth deceiving the nations-
Before we look at the coming time line, we should look at the translation [SJR] I did of Daniel 12. It is the KJV translation with verses 7 and 11 corrected. I know that Joseph Smith did not correct anything in Daniel 12 but Joseph Smith stated he did not correct everything as I talk about in The JST / Inspired Version and Only a Part.
SJR Daniel 12
AA 1 And at that time shall Michael stand up,
A-B the great prince which standeth for the children of thy [Daniel’s] people:

—-EAAB and the other [Hur] on that side [New Jerusalem] of the bank of the river [ocean].
—-EBA 6 And one [Aaron] said to the man clothed in linen [Mighty and Strong One / not the other],

A–C for thou shalt rest,

My translation of Daniel 12:7 is close to the BSB Daniel 12:7. The biggest difference is how I translated “H5310: naphats: sunder” to murder. If one looks at the Brown-Driver-Briggs and the Englishman’s Concordance, which I quote below, it becomes obvious that in many applications it means murder or kill. Especially considering we are in jars of clay housing our spirits, see Qal under Brown-Driver-Briggs. And how in Jeremiah 51:21 it is describing how they would kill different groups of people, see Englishman’s Concordance. The murder of the Mighty and Strong One and his primary helper, who I like to call Aaron, goes along with what is taught in other scriptures on this same event, see time line below. For those who would like to, I suggest looking at the Daniel 12:7 interlinear, it is insightful there and many other passages. It is also interesting to note, with the chiasmus I bring out, that in both EC-B stanzas there is either water or what it represents which is people. Also how the Mighty and Strong One is among the people and then not because they murdered him and Aaron.
SJR Daniel 12:7
—-ECA 7 And I heard the man clothed in linen [Mighty and Strong One],
—-EC-B which was upon the waters of the river [among people],
—-EC–C when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven,
—-EC—D and sware by Him [YHWH] that liveth for ever
—-EC—D that it shall be for a time, times, and an half [3.5 years];
—-EC–C and after he [Mighty and Strong One] has finished [H3615],
—-EC-B the people [water] will murder [H5310] the power of the holy [Might and Strong One & Aaron],
—-ECA all these things shall be finished.KJV Daniel 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
BSB Daniel 12:7 And the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by Him who lives forever, saying, “It will be for a time, and times, and half a time. When the power of the holy people has finally been shattered, all these things will be completed.

Before we look at my correction of verse 11, I want to look at the A stanzas in Daniel 12:1,12. These verses are describing Adam-ondi-Ahman when Adam, Daniel and other saints will come down along with Yeshua / Jesus. This is a Pentecost / Shavuot event and is at the end of fourth moon. When the third moon has thirty days as it always did in the days of Moses, see Lunar Cycle Change, it will start on the 28th of the fourth moon and is a three day event as I talk about in The Holy Spirit and The Holy Ghost are the Same and consequently that is why Yeshua / Jesus visits with the Lehites for three days. The reason Yeshua / Jesus was not with His apostles in Old Jerusalem during Pentecost / Shavuot in JST Acts 2 is because He was with the Lehites, see 3 Nephi (LDS 11 – 26:5) (RLDS 5 – 11). D&C (LDS 27) (RLDS 26) (1833 28) (1835 50) (1844 50) is an important revelation from YHWH Elohim through Joseph Smith to help us with this understanding. It is connecting Yeshua coming down with others, which will happen during Adam-ondi-Ahman, with keeping the covenant we made before we were baptized, see Mosiah (LDS 18:10) (RLDS 9:41), with a renewing of that covenant in the first B stanza (verses 2 – 5) and taking on the whole armor of YHWH in the second B stanza. The bringing forth of all things, which is Torah, see Scripture Study 2023-06-03 and 2023-12-05, was done on Pentecost / Shavuot. The Sermon on the Mount, which I prefer to call Sermon on Torah because Yeshua / Jesus is teaching us how to keep Torah in it, was given on Pentecost / Shavuot. 3 Nephi (LDS 12 – 14) (RLDS 5:44 – 6:37) is Yeshua / Jesus giving a variation of the Sermon on Torah to the Lehites during the first day of Pentecost / Shavuot as I show in The Holy Spirit and The Holy Ghost are the Same. One thing that Daniel 7 talks about is the Son of Man coming down to Adam which happens during Adam-ondi-Ahman. In Scripture Study 2023-10-15 I bring out a translation error in Daniel 7:13 where translators attach the word “like” to “H1247: bar” which simply means “son”. D&C (LDS 27) (RLDS 26) (1833 28) (1835 50) (1844 50) also talks about the Mighty and Strong One which connects it with the last days. Another thing it does is talks about new wine, and drinking new wine is part of Pentecost / Shavuot as brought up in JST Acts 2. The reason it is new wine is because it has just started it’s fermenting process which lees is a byproduct of making alcohol with grapes. New wine is one of the scriptural proofs that shows Pentecost / Shavuot starts later than when most people claim it does, because grapes are not even ready to harvest when most want to celebrate Pentecost / Shavuot. Not to mention the majority of people today want to celebrate Pentecost / Shavuot before Moses even gets to Mount Sinai. A careful reading of Leviticus 23:16 shows that there are two counts, one of seven sabbaths and then one of fifty days. Keeping the Lunar Sabbath in mind, which I do keep, puts Pentecost / Shavuot at the end of the fourth moon, just before the fifth new moon celebration that Philo talks about in The works of Philo. I go over these issues in detail in Scripture Study 2023-07-08 in addition to many resources on my High Holidays resource page under Pentecost / Shavuot that shows proofs of this also. I bring this foundational point up, because it is needed to understand the numbers in Daniel 12, which will become evidant shortly.
Daniel 12:1,12
AA 1 And at that time shall Michael stand up,
A-B the great prince which standeth for the children of thy [Daniel’s] people:
A–C and there shall be a time of trouble,
A–C such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time:
A-B and at that time thy people shall be delivered,
AA every one that shall be found written in the book [of life].
…
AA 12 Blessed is he that waiteth,
A-B and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days [1335 days / 44.5 moons / 3 years and 8.5 moons].
A–C 13 But go thou [Daniel] thy way till the end be [great and dreadful day]:
A–C for thou shalt rest,
A-B and stand in thy lot
AA at the end of the days.Daniel 7
AAAA 1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon
AAA-B Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed:
AAA-B then he wrote the dream,
AAAA and told the sum of the matters.
AA-BAA 2 Daniel spake and said,
AA-BAB I saw in my vision by night,
AA-BBA and, behold, the four winds of the heaven
AA-BBB strove upon the great sea.
AAAA 3 And four great beasts came up from the sea,
AAAB diverse one from another.
A-BA 4 The first was like a lion [Babylon],
A-B-B and had eagle’s wings:
A-B–C I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked,
A-B–C and it was lifted up from the earth,
A-B-B and made stand upon the feet as a man,
A-BA and a man’s heart was given to it.
A–CA 5 And behold another beast, a second,
A–C-B like to a bear [Medo-Persia],
A–C–C and it raised up itself on one side,
A–C—D and it had three ribs in the mouth of it
A–C—D between the teeth of it:
A–C–C and they said thus unto it,
A–C-B Arise,
A–CA devour much flesh.
A–CA 6 After this I beheld, and lo another,
A–C-B like a leopard [Greece],
A–C–C which had upon the back of it
A–C–C four wings [four generals] of a fowl;
A–C-B the beast had also four heads;
A–CA and dominion was given to it.
A-BA 7 After this I saw in the night visions,
A-B-B and behold a fourth beast [Rome],
A-B–C dreadful and terrible,
A-B—D and strong exceedingly;
A-B—-E and it had great iron teeth:
A-B—D it devoured and brake in pieces,
A-B–C and stamped the residue with the feet of it:
A-B-B and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it;
A-BA and it had ten horns.
AAA 8 I considered the horns, and, behold,
AA-B there came up among them another little horn [AntiChrist / Moon Child],
AA–C before whom there were three of the first horns [Three Eagle heads]
AA–C plucked up by the roots:
AA-BA and, behold, in this horn [AntiChrist / Moon Child] were eyes [desires]
AA-BB like the eyes [desires] of man,
AAA and a mouth speaking great things.
BAA 9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down,
BA-B and the Ancient of days [Adam] did sit,
BA–C whose garment was white as snow,
BA–C and the hair of his head like the pure wool:
BA-B his throne was like the fiery flame,
BAA and his wheels as burning fire.
B-BAA 10 A fiery [judgement] stream issued
B-BAB and came forth from before him:
B-B-BA thousand thousands ministered unto him,
B-B-BB and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him:
B-BAA the judgment was set,
B-BAB and the books were opened.
B–CA 11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn [AntiChrist / Moon Child] spake:
B–C-B I beheld even till the beast [AntiChrist / Moon Child] was slain,
B–C-B and his body [believers] destroyed,
B–CA and given to the burning flame [judgement].
B–CA 12 As concerning the rest of the beasts,
B–CB they had their dominion taken away:
B–CC yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
B-BA 13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold,
B-B-Bone likethe Son of Man [Yeshua] came with the clouds of heaven,
B-B-B and came to the Ancient of days [Adam],
B-BA and they brought him near before him.
BAA 14 And there was given Him [Son of Man] dominion,
BA-B and glory,
BA–C and a kingdom,
BA—D that all people,
BA—-E nations,
BA—-E and languages,
BA—D should serve Him [Son of Man]:
BA–C His [Son of Man] dominion is an everlasting dominion,
BA-B which shall not pass away,
BAA and His [Son of Man] kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
CAA 15 I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body,
CAB and the visions of my head troubled me.
C-BAAA 16 I came near unto one of them that stood by,
C-BAAB and asked him the truth of all this.
C-BABA So he told me,
C-BABB and made me know the interpretation of the things.
C-B-BA 17 These great beasts,
C-B-B-B which are four,
C-B-B-B are four kings,
C-B-BA which shall arise out of the earth.
C-BAA 18 But the saints of the most High
C-BA-B shall take the kingdom,
C-BA-B and possess the kingdom for ever,
C-BAA even for ever and ever.
C–CAA 19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast [Rome],
C–CA-B which was diverse from all the others,
C–CA–C exceeding dreadful,
C–CA—D whose teeth were of iron,
C–CA—D and his nails of brass;
C–CA–C which devoured,
C–CA-B brake in pieces,
C–CAA and stamped the residue with his feet;
C–C-BA 20 And of the ten horns that were in his head [leadership],
C–C-B-B and of the other [AntiChrist / Moon Child] which came up,
C–C-B–C and before whom three [Three Eagle heads] fell;
C–C-B–C even of that horn [AntiChrist / Moon Child] that had eyes [desires],
C–C-B-B and a mouth that spake very great things,
C–C-BA whose look was more stout than his fellows.
C–C-BA 21 I beheld, and the same horn [AntiChrist / Moon Child]
C–C-BB made war with the saints,
C–C-BC and prevailed [murdered] against them;
C–CAA 22 Until the Ancient of days [Adam] came [Adam-ondi-Ahman],
C–CAB and judgment was given to the saints of the most High;
C–CAC and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
C-BAA 23 Thus he said, The fourth beast [Rome]
C-BA-B shall be the fourth kingdom [Rome] upon earth,
C-BA–C which shall be diverse from all kingdoms,
C-BA–C and shall devour the whole earth,
C-BA-B and shall tread it down,
C-BAA and break it in pieces.
C-B-BA 24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom
C-B-B-B are ten kings that shall arise:
C-B-B–C and another [AntiChrist / Moon Child] shall rise after them;
C-B-B-B and he shall be diverse from the first,
C-B-BA and he shall subdue three [Three Eagle heads] kings.
C-B–CA 25 And he [AntiChrist / Moon Child] shall speak great words against the most High,
C-B–C-B and shall wear out the saints of the most High,
C-B–C–C and think to change times and laws:
C-B–C-B and they shall be given into his hand
C-B–CA until a time and times and the dividing of time [3.5 years].
C-B-BA 26 But the judgment shall sit,
C-B-B-B and they shall take away his dominion,
C-B-BA to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
C-BAAA 27 And the kingdom
C-BAAB and dominion,
C-BA-B and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven,
C-BA-B shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High,
C-BAAA whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
C-BAAB and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
CAAA 28 Hitherto is the end of the matter.
CAAB As for me Daniel,
CA-B my cogitations much troubled me,
CA-B and my countenance changed in me:
CAA but I kept the matter in my heart.D&C (LDS 27) (RLDS 26) (1833 28) (1835 50) (1844 50)

–CA-BC which God [Elohim] did by Him in the midst of you,
–CAA as ye yourselves also know:
–C-B 23 Him, being delivered
–C–C by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God [Elohim],
–C-B ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
–CAA 24 Whom God [Elohim] hath raised up,
–CAB having loosed the pains of death:
–CAC because it was not possible that He should be holden of it.
—DA 25 For David speaketh concerning him,
—D-BA I foresaw the LORD [YHWH] always before my face,
—D-BB for He is on my right hand,
—D-BC that I should not be moved:
—D–CAA 26 Therefore did my heart rejoice,

—-E—D and knowing that God [Elohim] had sworn with an oath to him,
—-E–C that of the fruit of his loins,
—-E-B according to the flesh,
—-EA He would raise up Christ [the Messiah] to sit on his throne;

—–F-B that his soul was not left in hell,
—–F–C neither His flesh did see corruption [raised on the third day].
—–F-B 32 This Jesus [Yeshua] hath God [Elohim] raised up,

—-EA 33 Therefore being by the right hand of God [Elohim] exalted,
—-E-B and having received of the Father
—-E–C the promise of the Holy Ghost,

–CA 36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,
–C-B that God [Elohim[ hath made that same Jesus [Yeshua],

-BAA 37 Now when they heard this,
-BAB they were pricked in their heart,
-B-BA and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles,
-B-BB Men and brethren,
-B-BC what shall we do?
-B–C 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent,
-B—D and be baptized every one of you
-B—-E in the name of Jesus [Yeshua] Christ [the Messiah]

AAA 40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort,
AA-B saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
AA-B 41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized:
AAA and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
A-B 42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
A–C 43 And fear came upon every soul:

A-BA 44 And all that believed were together,
A-B-B and had all things common;

The works of Philo, The Special Laws, 2, The Eight Festival, XXI (188), page 586Exodus 32:5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast [H2282 / pilgrim feast / High Holiday] to the Lord [YHWH].
Acts 20:7 And upon the first
dayof the week [G4521: Sabbath] [7 complete sabbaths], when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart [Jerusalem] on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
Around a moon and a half after Pentecost / Shavuot Moses came down Mount Sinai the second time. What we know for sure is that Moses was on Mount Sinai for forty days and forty nights, see Exodus 34:28 and Deuteronomy 9:18. Sadly we don’t know the exact date when Moses went up or came down Mount Sinai. It would have taken a few days to do what is described in Exodus 32:30-31, Exodus 33:1,7,9, Exodus 35:1. Putting us close to a moon and a half which was always 45 days in Moses day, see Lunar Cycle Change. The first thing that Moses talks about after he has gathered the mixed multitude together (Exodus 35:1) is the weekly sabbath see Exodus 35:2. For me this is showing that Moses is giving them this oath / sacrament / covenant on the weekly sabbath. Those who know anything about the Lunar Sabbath, which I believe and keep, know that the weekly sabbaths are on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of the moon. Considering that in D&C (LDS 59:9-14) (RLDS 59) (1833 60) (1835 19) (1844 19) YHWH is saying the best day to make sacraments / oaths / covenants is on the weekly sabbath, it is reasonable to assume that Moses is giving YHWH’s covenant to Israel and the mixed multitude on the weekly sabbath. Also with the extra days before Moses went up to Mount Sinai before the fourty days, it is not a stretch that to say that Exodus 35 was on the fifteen day of the sixth moon, which is one moon and a half after Pentecost / Shavuot, which will be an important fact to remember as we look at the numbers in Daniel 12. Also important is how it is stated four times that offerings were offered to YHWH on that day, see Exodus 35:22,24,29 and Exodus 36:3. When Moses came down from Mount Sinai the second time he brought down the punishment which is known as Law of Moses / Daily Performances and Ordinances / Carnal Commandment along with the eternal Torah. The Law of Moses was a punishment of primarily two daily lambs that point to Yeshua’s / Jesus’ death on the cross, and was done away with when Yeshua / Jesus died on the cross as I bring out from many holy prophets in Law of Moses. Punishments don’t have to be eternal, because otherwise I’d be sent to hell for my sins instead of being in the Father’s glory because of what He did when He came down as the Son and performed the atonement for the benefit of all of those who come under His covering. Part of the eternal Torah is sacrifices including animal sacrifices. Since I have already brought up D&C (LDS 59) (RLDS 59) (1833 60) (1835 19) (1844 19), there are a lot of allusions to the coming events in it, including the ability of the land to take care of us if we keep YHWH’s Torah. This connects to the eternal law in Torah known as Jubilee. If one takes the time to look at the time line of the Jubilees they would see many curses happened on Land Sabbaths because the people were not keeping them, and some very important blessings happened on Jubilees. The most important one is Yeshua / Jesus making it possible for us to be released of our sin debt with His death and resurrection. Another important one for me is the printing of the Book of Mormon which also happened on a Jubilee. I bring this up because when Exodus 34-35 happens again as part of Daniel 12, YHWH’s faithful will be depending on the strength of the land which is promised in Leviticus 25 when YHWH spoke about the Jubilee.
Exodus 34:28 And he [Moses] was there with the Lord [YHWH] forty days and forty nights; he [Moses] did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
Deuteronomy 9:18 And I [Moses] fell down before the Lord [YHWH], as [like] at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord [YHWH], to provoke Him [YHWH] to anger.
Exodus 32:30-31
30 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the Lord; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin. 31 And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.JST Exodus 33:1 And the LORD [YHWH] said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou [Moses] and the people which thou [Moses] hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto a land flowing with milk and honey, the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I [YHWH] give it;
Exodus 33:7 And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the Lord [YHWH] went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.
Exodus 33:9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord [YHWH] talked with Moses.
Exodus 35:1 And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the Lord [YHWH] hath commanded, that ye should do them.
Exodus 35:2 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the Lord: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.
D&C (LDS 59:9-14) (RLDS 59) (1833 60) (1835 19) (1844 19)

noun:
2) An oath; a ceremony producing an obligation
3) In present usage, an outward and visible sign of inward and spiritual grace; or more particularly, a solemn religious ceremony enjoined by Christ, the head of the christian church, to be observed by his followers, by which their special relation to him is created, or their obligations to him renewed and ratified. Thus baptism is called a sacrament for by it persons are separated from the world, brought into Christ’s visible church, and laid under particular obligations to obey his precepts. The eucharist or communion of the Lord’s supper, is also a sacrament for by commemorating the death and dying love of Christ, christians avow their special relation to him, and renew their obligations to be faithful to their divine Master. When we use sacrament without any qualifying word, we mean by it,
4) The eucharist or Lord’s supper.
verb transitive: To bind by an oath.Exodus 35:22 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the Lord.
Exodus 35:24 Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the Lord’s offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it.
Exodus 35:29 The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the Lord, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the Lord had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.
Exodus 36:3 And they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it withal. And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning.

Since I just shared D&C (LDS 59) (RLDS 59) (1833 60) (1835 19) (1844 19), I would like to bring out that this revelation is in response to Joseph Smith asking YHWH Elohim on what to do, and YHWH Elohim told Joseph Smith, the modern day Elijah, the prophet of the Restoration, that Joseph Smith should do what YHWH Elohim has already stated in Torah and the holy prophet’s expounding upon Torah. The recording Scripture Study 2023-04-20 goes over this in more detail and others you can find at Scripture Study. Another interesting tidbit is how Joseph Smith received D&C (LDS 59) (RLDS 59) (1833 60) (1835 19) (1844 19) on a Lunar Sabbath as I show at the bottom of the Sabbath page.
YHWH Elohim’s words through the past and modern holy prophets teach us that animal sacrifices are coming back. Joseph Smith himself taught this in mostly forgotten quotes. In Scripture Study 2024-02-24, I expound the more known quote from Joseph Smith regarding animal sacrafices coming back and how the Law of Moses / Daily Performances and Ordiances / Canal Commandment, not Torah, was finished at Yeshua’s / Jesus death. My favorite article that YHWH lead me to, to help me understand that animal sacrifice is coming back is Millennial Temple Model of Ezekiel 40 – 48. Although there are things in Millennial Temple Model of Ezekiel 40 – 48 I don’t agree with, the author was very good at pointing at passages from Ezekiel 40 – 48 showing that the temple described in Ezekiel 40 – 48 has not been built yet and that animal sacrifices will be performed in it.

Now the purpose in himself [Yeshua/Jesus] in the winding up scene of the last dispensation is, that all things pertaining to that dispensation should be conducted PRECISELY in accordance with the preceding dispensationS. And again, God purposed in himself that there should not be an eternal fulness, until every dispensation should be fulfilled [taught] and GATHERED TOGETHER IN ONE … therefore he set the ORDINANCES TO BE THE SAME FOR EVER AND EVER …
… thus we behold the keys of this priesthood consisted in obtaining the voice of Jehovah, that he talked with him [Noah] in a familiar and friendly manner, that he continued to him the keys, the covenants, the power and the glory, with which he blessed Adam at the beginning; and THE OFFERING OF SACRIFICE, WHICH ALSO SHALL BE CONTINUED AT THE LAST TIME; for ALL THE ORDINANCES AND DUTIES that ever have been required by the priesthood, under the directions and commandments of the Almighty in any of the dispensations, SHALL ALL BE HAD IN THE LAST DISPENSATION. Therefore ALL THINGS HAD UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE PRIESTHOOD AT ANY FORMER PERIOD SHALL BE HAD AGAIN, BRINGING TO PASS THE RESTORATION spoken of by the mouth of all the holy prophets; then shall the sons of Levi offer an acceptable offering to the Lord [YHWH]. ‘And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord’ Malachi 3:3-4 [3 Nephi (LDS 24:3-4) (RLDS 11:6-7)].
IT IS GENERALLY SUPPOSED THAT SACRIFICE WAS ENTIRELY DONE AWAY WHEN THE GREAT SACRIFICE [Alma (LDS 34:10-15) (RLDS )] [i.e.,] THE SACRIFICE OF THE LORD [YHWH] JESUS [YESHUA] WAS OFFERED UP, AND THAT THERE WILL BE NO NECESSITY FOR THE ORDINANCE OF SACRIFICE IN THE FUTURE; BUT THOSE WHO ASSERT THIS ARE CERTAINLY NOT ACQUAINTED WITH THE DUTIES, PRIVILEGES AND AUTHORITY OF THE PRIESTHOOD, OR WITH THE PROPHETS.
The OFFERING OF SACRIFICE has ever been connected and forms a part of the duties of the Priesthood. It [offering of sacrifice] began with the Priesthood, and WILL BE CONTINUED UNTIL AFTER THE COMING OF CHRIST [THE MESSIAH] [Adam-ondi-Aham], from generation to generation. We frequently have mention made of the offering of sacrifice by the servants of the Most High in ancient days, PRIOR TO THE LAW OF MOSES, WHICH ORDINANCES WILL BE CONTINUED WHEN THE PRIESTHOOD IS RESTORED WITH ALL IT’S AUTHORITY [Joseph Smith did not restore everything put did got it started], POWER AND BLESSINGS.
… THESE SACRIFICES, as well as every ordinance belonging to the Priesthood, will, WHEN THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD [YHWH] SHALL BE BUILT [FUTURE], and the sons of Levi be purified, be fully restored and attended to in all their powers, ramifications, and blessings. This ever did and ever will exist when the powers of the Melchizedek Priesthood are sufficiently manifest; else HOW CAN THE RESTITUTION OF ALL THINGS spoken of by the Holy Prophets be brought to pass. IT IS NOT TO BE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE LAW OF MOSES [DAILY PERFORMANCES AND ORDINANCES] WILL BE ESTABLISHED AGAIN with all its rites and variety of ceremonies; this has never been spoken of by the prophets; BUT THOSE THINGS WHICH EXISTED PRIOR TO MOSES’ DAY, namely, SACRIFICE, WILL BE CONTINUED.
It may be asked by some, what necessity for sacrifice, since the great sacrifice was offered? In answer to which, if repentance, baptism, and faith existed prior to the days of Christ, what necessity for them since that time?

It began with the priesthood and will be continued until after the coming of Christ [the Messiah] [Adam-ondi-Ahman] from generation to generation—We frequently have mention made of the offering of Sacrifice by the servants of the most high in ancient days prior to the law of Moses [carnal commandment].
Words of Joseph Smith – Deluxe Study Edition (Kindle Locations 765-771)Gospel Ordinances from the Beginning:
Perhaps our friends will say that the Gospel and its ordinances were not known till the days of John, the son of Zacharias, in the days of Herod, the king of Judea. But we will here look at this point: For our own part we cannot believe that the ancients in all ages were so ignorant of the system of heaven as many suppose, since all that were ever saved, were saved through the power of this great plan of redemption, as much before the coming of Christ as since; if not, God has had different plans in operation (if we may so express it), to bring men back to dwell with Himself; and this we cannot believe, since there has been no change in the constitution of man since he fell; and the ordinance or institution of offering blood in sacrifice, was only designed to be performed till Christ [the Messiah] was offered up and shed His blood—as said before—that man might look forward in faith to that time. It will be noticed that, according to Paul, (see Gal. 3:8) the Gospel was preached to Abraham. We would like to be informed in what name the Gospel was then preached, whether it was in the name of Christ [the Messiah] or some other name. If in any other name, was it the Gospel? And if it was the Gospel, and that preached in the name of Christ [the Messiah], had it any ordinances? If not, was it the Gospel? And if it has ordinances what were they? Our friends may say, perhaps, that there were never any ordinances except those of offering sacrifices before the coming of Christ [the Messiah], and that it could not be possible before the Gospel to have been administered while the law of sacrifices of blood was in force. But we will recollect that Abraham offered sacrifice, and notwithstanding this, had the Gospel preached to him. That the offering of sacrifice was only to point the mind forward to Christ [the Messiah], we infer from these remarkable words of Jesus [Yeshua] to the Jews: “Your Father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad” (John 8:56). So, then, because the ancients offered sacrifice it did not hinder their hearing the Gospel; but served, as we said before, to open their eyes, and enable them to look forward to the time of the coming of the Savior, and rejoice in His redemption. We find also, that when the Israelites came out of Egypt they had the Gospel preached to them, according to Paul in his letter to the Hebrews, which says: “For unto us was the Gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it” (see Hebrews 4:2). It is said again, IN GAL 3:19 THAT THE LAW (OF MOSES, OR THE LEVITICAL LAW) WAS “ADDED” BECAUSE OF TRANSGRESSION. What, we ask, was this law added to, if it was not added to the Gospel? It must be plain that it was added to the Gospel, since we learn that they had the Gospel preached to them. From these few facts, we conclude that whenever the Lord [YHWH] revealed Himself to men in ancient days, and commanded them to offer sacrifice to Him [YHWH], that IT WAS DONE THAT THEY MIGHT LOOK FORWARD IN FAITH TO THE TIME OF HIS COMING, and rely upon the power of that atonement for a remission of their sins. And this they have done, thousands who have gone before us, whose garments are spotless, and who are, like Job, waiting with an assurance like his, that they will see Him in the latter day upon the earth, even in their flesh. We may conclude, that though there were different dispensations, yet all things which God [Elohim] communicated to His people were calculated to draw their minds to the great object, and to teach them to rely upon God [Elohim] alone as the author of their salvation, as contained in His law [Torah].

Paul and his teachings are contraversial because people don’t understand Torah which Paul is expounding. And yes Paul was an apostle even though people like to claim other wise, and YHWH Elohim has confirmed this in a revelation through the holy prophet Joseph Smith in D&C (LDS 18:9) (RLDS 16) (1833 15) (1835 43) (1844 43). I imagine one of Paul’s favorite words was law, as he attached law to just about everything. The thee main laws that Paul talks about are Oral Law which are false traditions of the Jews, the Law of Moses / Daily Performances and Ordinances / Carnal Commandments which was a punishment that was finished at Yeshua’s death on the cross, and the eternal Torah. In an attempt to try to make it clear that Paul was not against the eternal Torah after his conversion to Yeshua / Jesus, James the head bishop of the church suggested to Paul that he take the Nazarite vow from Torah, which includes animal sacrifice, with four others. Just to be clear Acts 21 is after Yeshua’s / Jesus’ death and resurrection and is showing that Torah animal sacrifices are still valid. The Law of Moses / Daily Performances and Ordinances / Carnal Commandments which is primarily two daily lambs that the Levites had to sacrifice which pointed to Yeshua’s / Jesus’ atonement in every whit is finished and should not be done anymore.
2 Peter 3:16 As also in all his [Paul] epistles, speaking in them of these things; IN WHICH ARE SOME THINGS HARD TO BE UNDERSTOOD, which they that are UNLEARNED and UNSTABLE wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.
JST Romans 7:1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I [Paul] speak to them that know the law [Torah],) how that the law [Torah] hath dominion over a man ONLY as long as he liveth?
D&C (LDS 18:9) (RLDS 16) (1833 15) (1835 43) (1844 43) And now, Oliver Cowdery, I speak unto you, and also unto David Whitmer, by the way of commandment; for, behold, I command all men everywhere to repent, and I speak unto you, even as unto Paul mine apostle, for you are called even with that same calling with which he was called.
Acts 21:18,23-24,26-27
18 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
…
23 Do therefore this [Nazarite vow] that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them; 24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law [Torah].
…
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them. 27 And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,Numbers 6:5,9,18-19
5 All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the Lord, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.
…
9 And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.
…
18 And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings. 19 And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after the hair of his separation is shaven:
There are multiple aspects to the “stone cut without hands” in Daniel 2. One aspect is how its description goes along with stones that are needed to build an alter for animal sacrifices. Showing that animal sacrifices will be coming back.
Daniel 2:34 Thou [Nebuchadnezzar] sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
Daniel 2:45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
Exodus 20:25 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
Deuteronomy 27:5 And there shalt thou build an altar unto the Lord thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them.
With this foundational understanding of when Pentecost / Shavuot should be celebrated and visits that have happened during this feast, what Moses did one and a half moons later, and that animal sacrifices are coming back, it’s time to move on to the next Daniel 12 correction I did.
The more controversial corrections I did, are in verse 11. First I want to say that translation is not an easy thing. Before one should translate from one language to another, one first needs to understand what is being said in the original language. I will be honest, there are times I have a hard time understanding some things in my native tonge which is English, and have to read them and the context multiple times to understand what is being said. This is even true in my profession, Software Engineer. I translate human requirements into computer code, and before I can effectively do that, I need to have a good grasp on the technical requirements. How much more important is this when it is dealing with the state of our eternal souls? Somewhat understandably, translators use other people’s translations to help them figure out how they should translate a passage. But in doing so, they are being influenced by someone else’s theology and understanding. The reason I started looking into doing my own translation of Daniel 12:11 is because the typical translations go against what YHWH Elohim has taught me from other scriptural passages. Mainly how the Daily Performances and Ordinances / Law of Moses / Carnal Commandment was finished when Yeshua / Jesus died on the cross, as Paul put it, see Law of Moses resource page for a ton of scriptures on the subject. First thing I did was to see if there was a JST / Inspired Version / New Translation of the Bible. There was none, but that doesn’t bother me because Joseph Smith admitted he did not correct everything as I bring out in The JST / Inspired Version and Only a Part. Next I looked at the the Hebrew interlinear of Daniel 12:11 on BibleHub and started looking at the definitions of the Hebrew words. I also looked at the Septuagint interlinear of Daniel 12:11 on BibleHub. One part of translation is understanding the text in the original language, another step is picking words in the destination language, and after that you need to put the words in the correct order. I corrected “H8548: tamid” to “regular burnt offering”, and as you can see below other translations have done the same. The regular burnt offerings are part of eternal Torah where the daily performances and ordiances of primarily the two daily lambs was a punishment that finished when Yeshua / Jesus died on the cross also known as the carnal commandment or Law of Moses. All translations translated “H5493: sur: to turn aside” to “take away” or something along those lines. I translated “H5493: sur: to turn aside” to “turning aside” which is about rejecting YHWH Elohim and His ancient and eternal Torah. Proverbs 28:9 is an example of how rejecting YHWH’s Torah is an very bad thing to do. Deuteronomy 9:12 is another verse that shows this usage of “H5493: sur: to turn aside” complete with the mixed multitude worshipping an image of the beast, and soon after Moses throwing stone in judgement [fire] at them. Much like Daniel 12:11 is giving count down timing to. Deuteronomy 9:16 talking about the same event is using “H5493: sur: to turn aside” the exact same way. Later in Deuteronomy 11:16 and Deuteronomy 11:28 YHWH is warning the mixed multitude not to “H5493: sur: to turn aside” and server false gods or break His Torah. There are tons of examples how “H5493: sur: to turn aside” is used in this way at Strong’s H5493 showing this is a valid translation. Don’t just take my word for it go through the list at Strong’s H5493 and find out for yourself. Although not using “H5493: sur: to turn aside” Daniel 8:13 teaches the same thing with using “H6588: pesha” which is translated as rebellion in many translations. This is important because there are two parts from Daniel 8:11 that are types for the coming events. Daniel 9:27 has the same pattern in it also. I choose to translate “H8251: shiqquits: detested thing” as “destable thing” because I believe it makes the wording more clear that the passage is referring to the rejection of YHWH and His ancient and eternal Torah than “abomination” does. One thing I learned from the article Millennial Temple Model of Ezekiel 40 – 48, is that the coming AntiChrist / Moon Child can’t enter the coming temple to defile it or cause the “destable thing that makes desolate” SJR Daniel 12:11 by entering it. This comes from Ezekiel 43:7 and Ezekiel 44:9 along with correct translation from the Greek in the New Testament as quotes below show. Keeping this in mind Daniel 12:11 is not counting to the defilment of the coming Temple. Daniel 12:11 is a count from the restoring of the Torah regular burnt offerings with the coming Temple in Zion also known as New Jerusalem that the Lehites will build. Not all translations agree upon the order of various phrases in Daniel 12:11. In the list below of various translations you will see two translations, Contemporary English Version [CEV] and International Standard Version [ISV], that put the order of the phrase dealing with the 1290 days / 43 moons / 3 years and 7 moons in a different order. I do understand that those two translations are still counting till the sacrafice is stopped instead of count to when the destruction happens, but it does show that translators don’t agree on the order of phrases in their translations. In addition to using different definitions I did put some of the words in a different order than typical translations such that the translation does not contradict what YHWH Elohim has said through His holy prophets at other times.

A and that [which is] determined shall be poured upon [and cause] desolate [destruction] [of temple 40 years after the Messiah’s death, part of the sign of Jonah].Before beginning this study it is necessary to address a common teaching regarding a temple being built in Israel. Many Christian’s teach and believe that the next temple to be built in Jerusalem Israel will be one in which “the man of sin” or “the Antichrist” will enter into and defile by declaring himself to be God. These beliefs are supported mainly from one verse in Second Thessalonians 2:4, which states that the man of sin “sits as God in the temple of God showing himself that he is God.”
There are two different Greek words that are translated as “temple” in English. One word “hieron” is used by Paul when referring to an actual building made with wood and stones. The other word “naos” is used when referring to the spiritual temple of God which refers to His people. The word “naos” is the one used in this 2 Thessalonians 2:4 verse, and therefore is NOT talking about a physical temple.
Doug Fortune, in his article “Antichrist Revealed” writes:
Beginning with the Book of Acts, after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, through the Book of Revelation, the word naos is used ONLY referring to people as the temple not made with hands. When referring to the physical temple building the word hieron is used. Of course, throughout the Book of Revelation, the word naos is used, as that Book is the REVEALING of Jesus Christ, and He is revealed in the MIDST of the Lampstand, the CHURCH (Revelation 1:20). Why then is there so much confusion when 2 Thessalonians 2:4 speaks of the man of sin seated in the NAOS of God, “…which temple (naos) YE ARE…”(1Corinthians 3:17). Why are we looking for a man seated in a building yet to be built in the Middle-East, when we should be looking in the mirror? As the man of sin, the Adam nature is revealed and “the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of His mouth and bring him to an end by His appearing at His coming.” or “the brightness of His coming” (2 Thessalonians 2:8) as some translations read.

Millennial Temple Model of Ezekiel 40 – 48Ezekiel 43:7 and 44:9 are very clear that “no foreigner uncircumcised in heart or in flesh shall enter My sanctuary.” Therefore the antichrist will never be entering this temple. With the understanding that this Millennial Temple will not be “defiled by the Antichrist,” let’s now take an honest look at what was shown to Ezekiel. As this study will show, Ezekiel was given a very detailed description of what Messiah’s temple will look like and the functions within it.
Millennial Temple Model of Ezekiel 40 – 48Ezekiel 43:7 And He [YHWH] said unto me [Ezekiel], Son of man, the place of My [YHWH] throne, and the place of the soles of My [YHWH] feet, where I [YHWH] will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and My [YHWH] holy name, shall the house of Israel NO MORE DEFILE, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.
Ezekiel 44:9 Thus saith the Lord [YHWH] God [Elohim]; No stranger, UNCIRCUMCISED IN HEART, nor UNCIRCUMCISED IN FLESH, SHALL ENTER INTO MY [YHWH] SANCTUARY [TEMPLE], of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.
In Hebrew throught process, numbers point to concepts and ideas not nessarily an exact count as it does with the Greek mindset. The fact that numbers in the Hebrew scriptures point to concepts and ideas is well established. A well know example is how fourty means a testing period. Along with how seven is completeness and perfection. As symbols have a positive and a negative side to them so do numbers as we saw with 23 earlier. With this in mind we need to keep context in mind. And when dealing with prophetic timings from Daniel and other prophets we need to remember that 30 days deals with a full cycle of the moon because back in Moses’ day the lunar cycle was always 30 days until around 700 BC as shown at Lunar Cycle Change. Most of YHWH Elohim’s yearly appointed times / moed / High Holidays are around the the middle of the lunar cycle or the start of it including Shavuot / Pentecost as we have already gone over, the only exception is Day of Atonement. The fact that YHWH Elohim’s yearly appointed times / moed / High Holidays are around the the middle of the lunar cycle or the start of it is a big deal for numbers from Daniel 12.
Looking at the B stanzas from SJR Daniel 12:2 and 11 from the chiasmus is informative also. Daniel 12:2 is primarily about the resurrection and judgement. SJR Daniel 12:11 is a count down from the restoration of the Torah regular burnt offering to when the resurrection will take place during First Fruits on the 16th day of the 1st moon. Along with the destruction that will take place on the 17th day of the moon just as it did with Noah during second Passover and Unleavened Bread. The flood of fire and brimestone is one of the ways these coming days are like the days of Noah. Genesis (JST 8:36) (KJV 7:10-12) in addition bringing out how the flood came on the 17th of the moon, if one does some math it shows that Noah, his family and the animals entered the ark on the 10th day of the moon. This is significant because on the 10th day of the 1st moon is when we are to select and buy our lamb for passover. Which without New Moon days and the Lunar Sabbath is a problem because the 10th day of the 1st moon can not be a sabbath such that buying of the lamb can happen. Which is why Hillel II put in non-Torah postponement days when the Jews were forced to the continous seven day cycle by the Catholic church see Calendar Changes for more. For those who don’t believe me regarding the Jews changing the Calendar and sabbaths, in Lamentations 2:5-6 and Hosea 2:11 it is mentioned how the sabbaths would be lost, not to mention even modern Jewish scholars admit it in their writings. Noah, his family and the animals were in the ark for seven days, just like us humans are mortals for seven millenia, tenth through the sixteenth, before the flood came. Just as the destruction will happen in the morning of the seventh millennium as stated in the creation prophecy. This deals with the word “H3615: kalah” which is generally translated as “finished” but it has multiple meanings.

AA 1 And the Lord [YHWH] spake unto Moses
A-B in the wilderness of Sinai,
A–C in the first month of the second year
A–C after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
A-B 2 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover
AA at His [YHWH] appointed season.

—D-B according to all that the Lord [YHWH] commanded Moses,
—DA so did the children of Israel.
—-EA 6 And there were certain men,
—-E-B who were defiled by the dead body of a man,
—-E–C that they could not keep the passover on that day:
—-E—D and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:
—-E—-E 7 And those men said unto him,
—-E—-E We are defiled by the dead body of a man:
—-E—-D wherefore are we kept back,
—-E–C that we may not offer an offering of the Lord [YHWH]
—-E-B in His [YHWH] appointed season

-B-B–C nor break any bone of it:

-B-B–C and forbeareth to keep the passover,
-B-B—D even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people:

A-B both for the stranger,
AA and for him that was born in the land.Matthew (JST 24:44-45) (KJV 24:37-39) [bolds are JST / Inspired Version / New Translation]
44 But as it was in the days of Noah, so it shall be also at the coming of the Son of Man. 45 For it shall be with them as it was in the days which were before the flood; for until the day that Noah entered into the ark, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, and knew not until the flood came and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.JST Mark 13:48-49 [bolds are JST / Inspired Version / New Translation]
48 But as it was in the days of Noah, so it shall be also at the coming of the Son of Man; for it shall be with them as it was in the days which were before the flood. 49 Until the day that Noah entered into the ark, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, and knew not until the flood came and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.Luke 17:26-27
26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.2 Peter 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
Lamentations 2:5-6
A 5 The Lord [YHWH] was as an enemy:
-B He [YHWH] hath swallowed up Israel,
–C He [YHWH] hath swallowed up all her [Israel] palaces:
—D He [YHWH] hath destroyed His [YHWH] strong holds,
—-E and hath increased in the daughter of Judah
—-E mourning and lamentation.
—DA 6 And He [YHWH] hath violently taken away
—DB His [YHWH] tabernacle,
—DC as if it were of a garden:
–C He [YHWH] hath destroyed His [YHH] places of the assembly:
-BA the Lord [YHWH] hath caused
-BB the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion,
AA and hath despised in the indignation
AB of His [YHWH] anger the king and the priest.Hosea 2:11
AA I [YHWH] will also cause all her [Israel] mirth to cease,
AB her [Israel] feast days,
-B her new moons,
-B and her sabbaths,
A and all her [Israel] solemn feasts.The New Moon is still, and the Sabbath originally was, dependent uponthe lunar cycle. Both date back to the nomadic period of Israel. Originally the New Moon was celebrated in the same way as the Sabbath; gradually it became less important while the Sabbath became more a day of religion and humanity, of religious meditation and instruction, of peace and delight of the soul.
The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, page 410In the time of the earliest prophets, the New Moon stood in the same line with another lunar observance, the Sabbath.
Scribner’s Dictionary of the Bible, 1898 edition, page 521… each lunar month was divided into four parts, CORRESPONDING TO THE FOUR PHASES OF THE MOON. The first week of each month BEGAN WITH THE NEW MOON, so that, as the lunar month was one or two days more than four periods of seven days, these additional days were not reckoned [counted] at all.

With SJR Daniel 12:11 and Daniel 12:12 both counting down to the same time period it is important to note how there is one moon and a half difference between them. The context of Daniel 12:1,12 matches that of Shavuot / Pentecost in multiple instances of Shavuot / Pentecost in the scriptures. SJR Daniel 12:11 brings out how Torah regular burnt offerings will be restored one moon and a half after the Shavuot / Pentecost in Daniel 12:12. Which corresponds with how the Israelites and the mixed multitude gave offerings one moon and a half later with Moses, the Mighty and Strong One of his day.
SJR Daniel 12:1,11-12
AA 1 And at that time shall Michael stand up,
A-B the great prince which standeth for the children of thy [Daniel’s] people:

I want to reiterate quickly that the sons of Levi currently do not have authority from YHWH Elohim to do animal sacrafices. As stated in Hebrews 5:1-5 no man, which includes sons of Levi, can take the honor of officiating in sacrifices. The Jewish Rabbi’s do not the have authority from YHWH Elohim to give the sons of Levi authorization to do sacrifices. The Mighty and Strong One will be authorizing the sons of Levi to perform their duties, as Moses did in Exodus 40:1-16. While talking about Daniel 8 and the 2300 evenings and mornings prophecy that is now history, I showed how the scriptures make it evident that the sons of Levi need to wait for a prophet to help them begin their duties with sacrifices, including animal sacrifices, after they have been stopped. And just how Moses was an Elisha / Eliase / Mighty and Strong One who cleansed the sons of Levi and gave them authority so will the Mighty and Strong One cleanse and give authority to the sons of Levi who will bring back animal sacrifices as prophecied in Malachi 3:1-6 [3 Nephi (LDS 24:1-6) (RLDS 11:2-9)]. The Mighty and Strong One one will be getting his authority directly from YHWH’s own mouth, as Joseph Smith and the scriptures teach, how the prophets will receive the Melchizedek Priesthood from YHWH Elohim. Which you can see at Priesthood and below.
Hebrews 5:1-14
AA 1 For every high priest taken from among men
A-B is ordained for men in things pertaining to God [Elohim],
AA that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
-BA 2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant,
-B-B and on them that are out of the way;
-BA for that He [YHWH] Himself also is compassed with infirmity.
–CA 3 And by reason hereof He [YHWH] ought,
–C-B as for the people,
–C-B so also for Himself [YHHW],
–CA to offer for sins.
—DA 4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself,
—DB but he that is called of God [Elohim],
—DC as was Aaron.
—-EA 5 So also Christ [the Messiah] glorified not Himself [Yeshua]
—-E-B to be made an high priest;
—-E–C but He [YHWH] that said unto Him [Yeshua],
—-E-B Thou [Yeshua] art My [YHWH] Son,
—-EA to day have I [YHWH] begotten Thee [Yeshua].
—–FA 6 As He [YHWH] saith also in another place,
—–FB Thou [Yeshua] art a priest for ever
—–FC after the order of Melchisedec.
——GA 7 Who in the days of His [Yeshua] flesh,
——G-B when he had offered up prayers
——G–CA and supplications
——G–CB with strong crying
——G–CC and tears unto Him [Yeshua]
——G-B that was able to save him from death,
——GA and was heard in that he feared;
—–FA 8 Though He [Yeshua] were a Son,
—–FB yet learned He [Yeshua] obedience
—–FC by the things which He [Yeshua] suffered;
—-EA 9 And being made perfect,
—-E-B He [Yeshua] became
—-E-B the author of eternal salvation
—-EA unto all them that obey Him [Yeshua];
—DA 10 Called of God [Elohim]
—D-B an high priest
—D–C after the order of Melchisedec.
—D–C 11 Of whom we have many things to say,
—D-B and hard to be uttered,
—DA seeing ye are dull of hearing.
–CA 12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers,
–C-B ye have need that one teach you again
–C–C which be the first principles
–C–C of the oracles [revelations] of God [Elohim];
–C-B and are become such as have need of milk,
–CA and not of strong meat.
-BA 13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful
-B-B in the word of righteousness:
-BA for he is a babe.
AA 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age,
A-B even those who by reason of use
A-B have their senses exercised
AA to discern both good and evil.Exodus 40:1-16
AA 1 And the Lord [YHWH] spake
AB unto Moses, saying,
-BA 2 On the first day of the first month
-BB shalt thou set up
-BC the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
–CA 3 And thou [Moses]
–CB shalt put therein the ark of the testimony,
–CC and cover the ark with the veil.
—DA 4 And thou [Moses] shalt bring in the table,
—D-B and set in order the things
—D–C that are to be set in order upon it;
—D—D and thou shalt bring in the candlestick,
—D—-E and light the lamps thereof.
—D—–F 5 And thou [Moses] shalt set the altar of gold
—D—–F for the incense before the ark of the testimony,
—D—-E and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.
—D—D 6 And thou [Moses] shalt set the altar
—D–C of the burnt offering
—D-B before the door of the tabernacle
—DA of the tent of the congregation.
—-EA 7 And thou [Moses] shalt set the laver
—-E-B between the tent of the congregation
—-E–C and the altar,
—-E–C and shalt put water therein.
—-E-B 8 And thou [Moses] shalt set up the court round about,
—-EA and hang up the hanging at the court gate.
—–FA 9 And thou [Moses] shalt take the anointing oil,
—–F-B and anoint the tabernacle,
—–F–C and all that is therein,
—–F–C and shalt hallow it,
—–F-B and all the vessels thereof:
—–FA and it shall be holy.
—–FA 10 And thou [Moses] shalt anoint the altar
—–F-B of the burnt offering,
—–F–C and all his vessels,
—–F-B and sanctify the altar:
—–FA and it shall be an altar most holy.
—-EA 11 And thou [Moses] shalt anoint the laver
—-EB and his foot,
—-EC and sanctify it.
—DA 12 And thou [Moses]
—D-BA shalt bring Aaron
—D-BB and his [Aaron] sons
—D–CA unto the door
—D–CB of the tabernacle
—D–CC of the congregation,
—D—D and wash them [Aaron and sons] with water.
—D–CA 13 And thou [Moses] shalt
—D–CB put upon Aaron
—D–CC the holy garments,
—D-BA and anoint him [Aaron],
—D-B-B and sanctify him [Aaron];
—D-BA that he [Aaron] may
—DA minister unto Me [YHWH] in the priest’s office.
–CA 14 And thou [Moses]
–CB shalt bring his [Aaron] sons,
–CC and clothe them with coats:
-BA 15 And thou [Moses] shalt anoint them [Aaron’s sons],
-B-B as thou [Moses] didst anoint their father [Aaron],
-B–C that they [sons of Aaron] may minister
-B—D unto Me [YHWH] in the priest’s office:
-B–C for their [Aaron’s sons] anointing
-B-B shall surely be an everlasting priesthood
-BA throughout their generations.
AA 16 Thus did Moses:
A-B according to all
A-B that the Lord [YHWH] commanded him [Moses],
AA so did he [Moses].KJV 1 Maccabees 4:46–47
46 And laid up the stones in the mountain of the temple in a convenient place, until there should come a prophet to shew what should be done with them. 47 Then they took whole stones according to the law [Torah], and built a new altar according to the former;This is why Adam blessed his posterity; he wanted to bring them into the presence of God [Elohim]. They looked for a city, etc., “whose builder and maker is God [Elohim].” (Hebrews 11:10.) Moses sought to bring the children of Israel into the presence of God, through the power of the Priesthood, but he could not. In the first ages of the world they tried to establish the same thing; and there were ELIASES raised up who tried to restore these very glories, but did not obtain them; but they prophesied of a day when this glory would be revealed. Paul spoke of the dispensation of the fullness of times, when God [Elohim] would gather together all things in one, etc.; and those men to whom these keys have been given, will have to be there; and they without us cannot be made perfect.

AA 25 And when Moses saw that the people werenaked[unrestrained];
AB (for Aaron had made themnaked[unrestrained] unto their shame among their enemies:)
-BA 26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp,

-B–C let him come unto me.

God will not acknowledge that which He has not called, ordained, and chosen. In the beginning God called Adam by His own voice. “And the Lord called unto Adam and said unto him, where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, and hid myself.” (See Genesis 3:9-10.) Adam received commandments and instructions from God: this was the order from the beginning. – Joseph Smith, Teaching of the Prophet Joseph Smith, page 168
JST Genesis 14
26 Now Melchizedek was a man of faith, who wrought righteousness; and when a child he feared God, and stopped the mouths of lions, and quenched the violence of fire. 27 And thus, having been approved of God, he was ordained an high priest after the order of the covenant which God made with Enoch, 28 It being after the order of the Son of God; which order came, NOT BY MAN, nor the will of man; neither by father nor mother; neither by beginning of days nor end of years; but of God; 29 And it was delivered unto men BY THE CALLING OF HIS OWN VOICE, according to his own will, unto as many as believed on his name.Thus we behold the keys of this Priesthood consisted in obtaining the VOICE of Jehovah that He talked with him [Noah] in a familiar and friendly manner, that He continued to him the keys, the covenants, the power and the glory, with which He blessed Adam. – Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, page 171
Moses 6:66-67
66 And he heard a VOICE OUT OF HEAVEN, saying: Thou art baptized with fire, and with the Holy Ghost. This is the record of the Father, and the Son, from henceforth and forever; 67 And THOU ART AFTER THE ORDER OF HIM who was without beginning of days or end of years, from all eternity to all eternity.Mosiah 23:17 And it came to pass that none received authority to preach or to teach EXCEPT IT WERE BY HIM FROM GOD. Therefore he consecrated all their priests and all their teachers; and none were consecrated except they were just men.
There is another translation issue that deals with the subject at hand in Revelation 6:11. Some people twist “G4137: pleroo” to mean that certain number of martyrs need to die before Yeshua’s / Jesus’ Second Coming willl happen. But that goes against the fact that other scriptures state that it is an appointed time and will happen at the scheduled time no matter what. A better translation of “G4137: pleroo” is “fully preached” as used in other loctaions of the New Testament including Yeshua / Jesus and Paul. My placement of “G4137: pleroo” matches that of the BSB Revelation 6:11 while opposing other translations. While Yeshua / Jesus was talking about the end times to the Lehites, in 3 Nephi (LDS 21:8-11) (RLDS 9:94-98) Yeshua / Jesus states that the Mighty and Strong One will declare things, which declare is defined as “make clear” in the 1828 Webster’s Dictionary. The Scripture Study 2024-03-02 goes over these details some.
SJR Revelation 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them [martyrs]; and it was said unto them [martyrs], that they [martyrs] should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants [MSO & Aaron] have fully preached [G4137: pleroo] then will be killed as they [martyrs] were, along with their brethren.
KJV Revelation 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them [martyrs]; and it was said unto them [martyrs], that they [martyrs] should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants [MSO & Aaron] also and their brethren, that should be killed as they [martyrs] were, should be fulfilled [G4137: pleroo].
BSB Revelation 6:11 Then each of them [martyrs] was given a white robe and told to rest a little while longer, until the full number [G4137: pleroo] of their fellow servants, their brothers, were killed, just as they had been killed.

NAS Exhaustive Concordance: Fully preached

Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance: Fully preachJST Matthew 3:43 And Jesus, answering, said unto him, Suffer me to be baptized of thee, for thus it becometh us to FULFIL [PLEROO = FULLY PREACH] all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
JST Matthew 5:19-21
A 19 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to FULFIL [PLEROO = FULLY PREACH]. 20 For verily I say unto you, Heaven and earth must pass away, but one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, until all be fulfilled [ginomai = accomplished]. 21 Whosoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach [didasko = instruct] men so to do, he shall in no wise be saved in the kingdom of heaven; but whosoever shall do and TEACH [DIDASKO = INSTRUCT] these commandments of the law until it be fulfilled [presume ginomai = accomplished], the same shall be called great, and shall be saved in the kingdom of heaven.Berean Study Bible, Romans 15:19 by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed [pleroo = fully preach] the gospel of Christ. (interlinear/word by word)

Passover, Unleavened Bread and First Fruits is a time of deliverance from the sons of Perdition, sins and death. There are many examples of this in the scriptures particularly deliverance from the sons of Perdition. Lot is an example of this in JST Genesis 19 as shown in Scripture Study 2023-04-20. The Passover and Unleavened Bread in JST Genesis 19 shadows the day of YHWH of Hosts that is coming, including YHWH Elohim sending three servants to use their sealing power that they received from YHWH’s own voice see Priesthood to cause the fire and brimestone. We also see in JST Genesis 18 that YHWH Elohim tells Abraham what is about to happpen because Abraham is a holy prophet see JST Amos 3:7. Genesis (JST 8:36) (KJV 7:10-12) with Noah and the flood is also an example of this with Second Passover and Unleavened Bread from Numbers 9:1-14 we have already talked about. The exodus with Moses has two examples. First one is when the children of Israel were passovered by the Angel of Death if they kept what was commanded them from YHWH Elohim through Moses in Exodus 12:21-28. The second one is the red sea crossing in JST Exodus 14:13-31. I understand that the date of the red sea crossing is not given in scriptures. But considering the distance the mixed multitude had to travel and the speed the company would have taken, it was is reasonable to say the Red Sea crossing happened a moon after Passover, Unleavened Breand and First Fruits. Putting it at the time of Second Passover, Unleavened Breand and First Fruits see Numbers 9:1-14. It is interesting to point out how the mixed multitude were led through the midst of the sea one day, and in the morning of the next the flood came upon the Egyptians see Exodus 14:24,27. Just like how the believers in Yeshua / Jesus will be brought up into the clouds, which are made of water, and then the next day a flood of fire and brimestone will fall upon those who are left behind. So the timing is good and the pattern of what happens makes it clear that the Red Sea crossing happened during Second Unleaven Breand and First Fruits. Joshua 4:10-5:25 also matches this pattern. The mixed multitude celebrated Passover. The Captian of the Host of YHWH stood before Joshua in his tent during Passover giving Joshua the direction on what the Israelites and the mixed multitude were to do during Unleavened Bread and that is of destroying the sons of Perditions and then taking of the spoils for YHWH which follows the pattern of Unleavened Bread. 3 Nephi (LDS 8-10) (RLDS 4) starts with Passover. I am aware of that in most editions of the Book of Mormon in 3 Nephi (LDS 8:5) (RLDS 4:6) states the destruction happened on the fourth day of the first moon. There are some editions of the Book of Mormon that have corrected 3 Nephi (LDS 8:5) (RLDS 4:6) to state the fourteenth instead of the fourth. Which I agree with. Sadly 3 Nephi (LDS 8:5) (RLDS 4:6) has not survived with a portion of the Original Manuscript of the Book of Mormon. 3 Nephi (LDS 8:5) (RLDS 4:6) has survived with the Printer’s Manuscript of the Book of Mormon and you can see a picture of it on the Joseph Smith Papers. You will see that Oliver Cowdery wrote the word “fourth” not the most clear. You will also see on the same page many corrections Oliver Cowdery made. I don’t fault him for this mistake. There is very little difference between the words “fourth” and “fourteenth”. In fact only four letters “teen”. Copying the Original Manuscript to the Printer’s Manuscript would have been a laborious activity. With the Analysis of the Textual Variants of the Book of Mormon we can see that Oliver Cowdery made plenty of honest copying mistakes. Including around 3 Nephi (LDS 8:5) (RLDS 4:6) which can be seen at Analysis of Textual Variants of the Book of Mormon, Part Five: Alma 56 – 3 Nephi 18. Even with todays modern technology, errata pages are still added to books because of printing and editing errors. I go over this some in Scripture Study 2022-09-10. YHWH tells us in Torah when He wants the year to start and what days the High Holidays are. Where we count the years from, YHWH does not specify. In the Bible and the Book of Mormon you can see multiple times when the year count was changed. But the days of the High Holidays stay the same. 3 Nephi (LDS 8:5) (RLDS 4:6) was an honest mistake done by Oliver Cowdery during the laborious job of copying the Original Manuscript to the Printer’s Manuscript. I believe Joseph Smith had Oliver Cowdery do this because he was worried about the manuscript given to E B Grandin getting lost as happened with the manuscript given to Martin Harris see The JST / Inspired Version and Only a Part.

A unto His [YHWH] servants the prophets.Exodus 12:18-30
AAA 18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even,
AAB ye shall eat unleavened bread,

–C-B and dip it in the blood that is in the basin,
–C–C and strike the lintel and the two side posts
–C–C with the blood that is in the basin;
–C-B and none of you shall go out
–CA at the door of his house until the morning.

–C-B who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt,
–C–C when He [YHWH] smote the Egyptians,
–C-B and delivered our houses.

The Lehite Roaring Lions will show up to take back the land that YHWH Elohim has given them during an Unleavened Bread after the United States Second Civil War that is prophecied in D&C (LDS 87). Joshua 4:10-5:25 is a perfect foreshadow of this coming event. The wicked that are in control are manipulating people to cause the United States to have a Civil War to diminsh the power that they have given the United States such that they will be compelled to join the One World Government that they want. But this will back fire and make it easier for the Lehite Roaring Lions to swoop in and take what YHWH Elohim has promised them.

Daniel in his seventh chapter speaks of the Ancient of days; he means the oldest man, our father Adam, Michael, he will call his children together and hold a council with them to prepare them for the coming of the Son of Man. He [Adam] is the father of the human family, and presides over the spirits of all men, and all that have had the keys must stand before him in this grand council. This may take place before some of us leave this stage of action. The Son of Man stands before him, and there is given him glory and dominion. Adam delivers up his stewardship to Christ [the Messiah], that which was delivered to him as holding the keys of the universe, but retains his standing as head of the human family.
Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, page 157
Enoch is one of the instances of multiple Elisha / Eliase / Mighty and Strong One that Joseph Smith talked about. If someone was to read Moses 6:21-Moses 7:45 / JST Genesis 6:21-7:52 they would see a ton of parallels to the coming days making it obvious that this passage is meant to be a shadow and prophecy of what is about to happen.
This is why Adam blessed his posterity; he wanted to bring them into the presence of God [Elohim]. They looked for a city, etc., “whose builder and maker is God [Elohim].” (Hebrews 11:10.) Moses sought to bring the children of Israel into the presence of God, through the power of the Priesthood, but he could not. In the first ages of the world they tried to establish the same thing; and there were ELIASES raised up who tried to restore these very glories, but did not obtain them; but they prophesied of a day when this glory would be revealed. Paul spoke of the dispensation of the fullness of times, when God [Elohim] would gather together all things in one, etc.; and those men to whom these keys have been given, will have to be there; and they without us cannot be made perfect.

Matthew (JST 23:31-24:56) (KJV 23:34-24:51) is an important passage regarding the destruction of Old Jerusalem and the Second Temple, as prophecied in Daniel 9, along with the Second Coming of Yeshua / Jesus, as prophecied in SJR Daniel 12. I enjoy bringing out chiasmus from YHWH’s word in the scriptures because it shows deeper connections and makes the passages easier to understand. With the corrections that Joseph Smith did in Matthew (JST 23:31-24:56) (KJV 23:34-24:51) including removing text that was not there originally, moving some verses and sentences around, and restoring text that was lost really makes clear what Yeshua / Jesus was saying, in addition to making this chiasmus possible.
Matthew (JST 23:31-24:56) (KJV 23:34-24:51) [bolds are JST / Inspired Version / New Translation]

AAA and persecute from city to city;
A-BA 32 35 That upon you may come
A-B-B all the righteous blood shed upon the earth,
A-B–C from the blood of righteous Abel
A-B-B unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias,
A-BA whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
A–CA 33 36 Verily I [Yeshua] say unto you,

A—D-B are partakers
A—DA of the same wickedness.
A—-EA 35 Behold your fathers did it through ignorance,

A—D-B Ye who will kill the prophets,
A—D–C and will stone them who are sent unto you;
A—D–C how often would I [Yeshua] have gathered your children together,
A—D-B even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings,
A—DA and ye would not.
A–CA 38 Behold, your house
A–CB is left unto you desolate.
A-BA 39 For I [Yeshua] say unto you,

—DAA and shall deceive many.
—D-BA 7 9 Then shall they deliver you

——–I-B Behold, he [Messiah] is in the desert;
——–I–C go not forth:
——–I-B behold, he [Messiah] is in the secret chambers;
——–IA believe it not.
———JA 27 For as the light of the morning cometh out of the east,
———J-B and shineth even unto the west,
———J-B and covereth the whole earth;
———JA so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.
——–IAA 28 And now I [Yeshua] show unto you a parable.
——–IAB Behold, wheresoever the carcass is,
——–I-B there will the eagles be gathered together;
——–I–C so likewise shall mine elect
——–I-B be gathered
——–IA from the four quarters of the earth.
——-HA 29 And they shall hear of wars,
——-HB and rumors of wars.
——GA Behold, I [Yeshua]
——GB speak for mine elect’s sake.
—–FAA 30 7 For nation shall rise against nation,
—–FAB and kingdom against kingdom;
—–FBA and there shall be famine and pestilences,
—–FBB and earthquakes in divers places.
—-EAA 31 And again, because iniquity shall abound,
—-EA-B the love of men shall wax cold;
—-EA-B but he that shall not be overcome,
—-EAA the same shall be saved.
—-EBA 32 14 And again,
—-EB-B this gospel of the kingdom
—-EB–C shall be preached in all the world,
—-EB—D for a witness unto all nations,
—-EB—-E and then shall the end come,
—-EB—D or the destruction of the wicked.
—-EB–C 33 And again shall the abomination of desolation,
—-EB-B spoken of by Daniel the prophet [Daniel 12],
—-EBA be fulfilled.
—-ECA 34 29 And immediately after the tribulation of those days,
—-EC-BA the sun shall be darkened,
—-EC-BB and the moon shall not give her light,
—-EC-BC and the stars shall fall from heaven,
—-EA and the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
—DAA 35 34 Verily I [Yeshua] say unto you,
—DAB This generation,
—D-B in which these things shall be shown forth,
—D–C shall not pass away until all
—D—D I [Yeshua] have told you shall be fulfilled.
—D—-E 36 35 Although the days will come
—D—–F that heaven and earth shall pass away,
—D—–F yet My [Yeshua] word shall not pass away;
—D—-E but all shall be fulfilled.
—D—D 37 30 And as I [Yeshua] said before,
—D–C after the tribulation of those days,
—D-B and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken,
—DA then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven;
–CA and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn.
–C-BA 38 30 And they shall see the Son of man
–C-BB coming in the clouds of heaven
–C-BC with power and great glory.
–C–C 39 And whoso treasureth up My [Yeshua] words,
–C–C shall not be deceived.
–C-BA 40 31 For the Son of Man shall come,
–C-BB and He [Yeshua] shall send His [Yeshua] angels before Him [Yeshua]
–C-BC with the great sound of a trumpet,
–CAA and they shall gather together
–CAB the remainder of his elect from the four winds;
–CAC from one end of heaven to the other.
-BA 41 32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree,
-B-B When its branches are yet tender,
-B–C and it begins to put forth leaves,
-B—D you know that summer is nigh at hand.
-B—-E 42 33 So likewise mine elect,
-B—–F when they shall see all these things,
-B——GA they shall know that he is near,
-B——GB even at the doors.
-B——-HA 43 36 But of that day and hour no one knoweth;
-B——-HB no, not the angels of God [Elohim] in heaven,
-B——-HC but My [Yeshua] Father only.
-B——–IAAA 44 37 But as it was in the days of Noah,
-B——–IAA-B so it shall be also
-B——–IAA at the coming of the Son of Man be.
-B——–IABA 45 38–39 For it shall be with them as it was in the days
-B——–IAB-B that which were before the flood;
-B——–IAB–CA for until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
-B——–IAB–CB they were eating and drinking,
-B——–IAB–CC marrying and giving in marriage,
-B——–IAB-BA and knew not until the flood came
-B——–IAB-BB and took them all away;
-B——–IABA so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.
-B——–IBAA 46 Then shall be fulfilled that which is written,
-B——–IBAB that, In the last days,
-B——–IBBAA 47 40 Two shall be in the field;

-B——–IBBBC and the other left.
-B——-HA 49 42 And what I [Yeshua] say unto one,
-B——-H-B I [Yeshua] say unto all men;
-B——-H–C Watch, therefore,
-B——-H-B for ye you know not
-B——-HA at what hour your Lord [YHWH] doth come.
-B——GA 50 43 But know this,
-B——G-B if the goodman of the house
-B——GA had known in what watch the thief would come,
-B—–FA he would have watched,
-B—–FB and would not have suffered
-B—-E his house to have been broken up;
-B—D but would have been ready.
-B–C 51 44 Therefore be ye also ready:
-B-B for in such an hour as ye think not
-BA the Son of man cometh.
AA 52 45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant,
A-B whom his lord hath made ruler over his household,
A–C to give them meat in due season?
A—D 53 46 Blessed is that servant,
A—-E whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
A—–F 54 47 And, verily I [Yeshua] say unto you,
A——G He shall make him ruler over all his goods.
A——-H 55 48–51 But if that evil servant shall say in his heart,
A——–I My Lord delayeth his coming;
A———J and shall begin to smite his fellow servants,
A———-K and to eat and drink with the drunken;
A———-K the Lord of that servant

A—-E 56 And thus cometh the end of the wicked
A—D according to the prophecy of Moses,
A–C saying, They should be cut off from among the people.
A-B But the end of the earth is not yet;
AA but bye and bye [soon].
In JST John 1:1-19 Chiasmus I proposed that the reordering of the verses in JST Matthew would bring out a chiasmus, and I believe I have shown it.
Contrast that with how with JST Matthew 24 Joseph Smith was inspired to reorder the verses in that chapter. Where Adam Clarke’s Commentary on Matthew 24 no where suggests a reordering of verses. As I find chiasmi very insightful, I wonder if the restored verse order would bring out a chiasmus or two that would have not been possible otherwise. Below is the restored verse order of JST Matthew 24:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 8, 22, Missing, 23, 24, Missing, 6, 25, 26, 27, 28, Missing, 7, Missing, 14, Missing, 29, 34, 35, 30, Missing, 31, 32, 33, 36, 37, 38, 39, Missing, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, Missing.
JST Matthew 24 arrangement of KJV Matthew 24 verses
With the conterversy that Joseph Smith supposedely plagiarized Adam Clarke’s Commentary with the JST / Inspired Version / New Translation of the Bible that YHWH commanded Joseph Smith to do as recorded in the Doctrine and Covenants multiple times see The JST / Inspired Version and Only a Part, I want to bring out that nothing in Adam Clarke’s Commentary on Matthew 24 deals with the corrections that Joseph Smith did in JST Matthew 24, in fact it contradicts it. With the corrections, YHWH Elohim had Joseph Smith do makes it obvious that Matthew 24 deals with two questions that the apostles asked Yeshua / Jesus about which were the destruction of the second temple and His second coming. Adam Clarke’s Commentary on Matthew 24 takes verses that are clearly about Yeshua’s / Jesus’ Second Coming with the corrections which include correct verse order and restoration of text, see Adam Clarke’s Commentary on Matthew 24 on verses 29-30. As I mentioned in JST John 1:1-19 Chiasmus, Adam Clarke’s Commentary on Matthew 24 there is no mention or any indication of changing the order of the verses, yet Joseph Smith did do some reordering of verses. In Adam Clarke’s Commentary on John 1:16, Adam Clarke states his belief there should be some reordering of the verses in John 1, but Joseph Smith did not do any reordering. For the claim that Joseph Smith supposedly plagiarized Adam Clarke’s Commentary, Joseph Smith’s corrections are in opposition to the suggestions of Adam Clarke.
Adam Clarke’s Commentary on Matthew 24:29
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Immediately after the tribulation, etc. – Commentators generally understand this, and what follows, of the end of the world and Christ’s coming to judgment: but the word immediately shows that our Lord is not speaking of any distant event, but of something immediately consequent on calamities already predicted: and that must be the destruction of Jerusalem. “The Jewish heaven shall perish, and the sun and moon of its glory and happiness shall be darkened – brought to nothing. The sun is the religion of the Church; the moon is the government of the state; and the stars are the judges and doctors of both. Compare Isaiah 13:10; Ezekiel 32:7, Ezekiel 32:8, etc.” Lightfoot.Adam Clarke’s Commentary on Matthew 24:30
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Then shall appear the sign of the Son of man – The plain meaning of this is, that the destruction of Jerusalem will be such a remarkable instance of Divine vengeance, such a signal manifestation of Christ’s power and glory, that all the Jewish tribes shall mourn, and many will, in consequence of this manifestation of God, be led to acknowledge Christ and his religion. By της γης, of the land, in the text, is evidently meant here, as in several other places, the land of Judea and its tribes, either its then inhabitants, or the Jewish people wherever found.Adam Clarke’s Commentary on John 1:16
This verse should be put in place of the fifteenth, and the 15th inserted between the 18th and 19th, which appears to be its proper place: thus John’s testimony is properly connected.
Although I disagree with Adam Clarke’s Commentary on Matthew 24 on various things, here is some of the commentary I do believe is good and note worthy.
Adam Clarke’s Commentary on Matthew 24:20
But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter – For the hardness of the season, the badness of the roads, the shortness of the days, and the length of the nights, will all be great impediments to your flight. Rabbi Tanchum observes, “that the favor of God was particularly manifested in the destruction of the first temple, in not obliging the Jews to go out in the winter, but in the summer.” See the place in Lightfoot.
Neither on the Sabbath-day – That you may not raise the indignation of the Jews by travelling on that day, and so suffer that death out of the city which you had endeavored to escape from within. Besides, on the Sabbath-days the Jews not only kept within doors, but the gates of all the cities and towns in every place were kept shut and barred; so that their flight should be on a Sabbath, they could not expect admission into any place of security in the land.Adam Clarke’s Commentary on Matthew 24:22
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
Except those days should be shortened – Josephus computes the number of those who perished in the siege at eleven hundred thousand, besides those who were slain in other places, War, b. vi. c. 9; and if the Romans had gone on destroying in this manner, the whole nation of the Jews would, in a short time, have been entirely extirpated; but, for the sake of the elect, the Jews, that they might not be utterly destroyed, and for the Christians particularly, the days were shortened. These, partly through the fury of the zealots on one hand, and the hatred of the Romans on the other; and partly through the difficulty of subsisting in the mountains without houses or provisions, would in all probability have been all destroyed, either by the sword or famine, if the days had not been shortened. The besieged themselves helped to shorten those days by their divisions and mutual slaughters; and by fatally deserting their strong holds, where they never could have been subdued, but by famine alone. So well fortified was Jerusalem, and so well provided to stand a siege, that the enemy without could not have prevailed, had it not been for the factions and seditions within. When Titus was viewing the fortifications after the taking of the city, he could not help ascribing his success to God. “We have fought,” said he, “with God on our side; and it is God who pulled the Jews out of these strong holds: for what could machines or the hands of men avail against such towers as these?” War, b. vi. c. 9.Adam Clarke’s Commentary on Matthew 24:26
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
If they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert – Is it not worthy of remark that our Lord not only foretold the appearance of these impostors, but also the manner and circumstances of their conduct? Some he mentions as appearing in the desert. Josephus says, Ant. b. xx. c. 7, and War, book ii. c. 13: That many impostors and cheats persuaded the people to follow them to the desert, promising to show them signs and wonders done by the providence of God, is well attested. An Egyptian false prophet, mentioned by Josephus, Ant. b. xx. c. 7, and in the Acts, Acts 21:38, led out into the Desert four thousand men, who were murderers, but these were all taken or destroyed by Felix. Another promised salvation to the people, if they would follow him to the Desert, and he was destroyed by Festus, Ant. b. xx. c. 7. Also, one Jonathan, a weaver, persuaded a number to follow him to the Desert, but he was taken and burnt alive by Vespasian. See War, b. vii. c. 11.
As some conducted their deluded followers to the Desert, so did others to the secret chambers. Josephus mentions a false prophet, War, b. vi. c. 5, who declared to the people in the city, that God commanded them to go up into the temple, and there they should receive the signs of deliverance. A multitude of men, women, and children, went up accordingly; but, instead of deliverance, the place was set on fire by the Romans, and 6,000 perished miserably in the flames, or in attempting to escape them.Adam Clarke’s Commentary on Matthew 24:28
For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
For wheresoever the carcass is – Πτωμα, the dead carcass. The Jewish nation, which was morally and judicially dead.
There will the eagles – The Roman armies, called so partly from their strength and fierceness, and partly from the figure of these animals which was always wrought on their ensigns, or even in brass, placed on the tops of their ensign-staves. It is remarkable that the Roman fury pursued these wretched men wheresoever they were found. They were a dead carcass doomed to be devoured; and the Roman eagles were the commissioned devourers. See the pitiful account in Josephus, War, b. vii. c. 2, 3, 6, 9, 10, and 11.
Below are some additional chiasmus I have brought out from YHWH Elohim’s words through His holy prophets that deals with these coming events. I hope they will help you get more out of YHWH’s words that He put into the mouths of His holy prophets.
D&C (LDS 45) (RLDS 45) (1833 48) (1835 15) (1844 15)
AAA 1 Hearken, O ye people of My [YWH] church,
AA-B to whom the kingdom has been given;
AA–C hearken ye and give ear to Him [YHWH] who laid the foundation of the earth,
AA–C who made the heavens and all the hosts thereof,
AA-B and by Whom [YHWH] all things were made
AAAA which live,
AAAB and move,
AAAC and have a being.
A-BAA 2 And again I [YHWH] say,
A-BAB hearken unto My [YHWH] voice,
A-B-B lest death shall overtake you;
A-B–CA in an hour
A-B–CB when ye think not
A-B–CC the summer shall be past,
A-B-B and the harvest ended,
A-BA and your souls not saved.
A–CA 3 Listen to Him [Yeshua] who is the advocate with the Father,
A–CB who is pleading your cause before Him [YHWH]—
A-BA 4 Saying: Father, behold the sufferings
A-B-B and death of Him [Yeshua] who did no sin,
A-B–C in whom Thou [YHWH] wast well pleased;
A-B–C behold the blood of Thy [YHWH] Son [Yeshua] which was shed,
A-B-B the blood of Him [Yeshua] whom Thou [YHWH] gavest
A-BA that Thyself [YHWH] might be glorified;
AAA 5 Wherefore, Father,
AA-B spare these My [Yeshua] brethren
AA–C that believe on My [Yeshua] name [character],
AA-B that they may come unto Me [Yeshua]
AAA and have everlasting life.
-BAA 6 Hearken, O ye people of My [YHWH] church,
-BA-B and ye elders listen together,
-BA-B and hear My [YHWH] voice while it is called today,
-BAA and harden not your hearts;
-B-BA 7 For verily I [YHWH] say unto you
-B-B-B that I [YHWH] am Alpha and Omega,
-B-B–C the beginning and the end,
-B-B–C the light and the life of the world—
-B-B-B a light that shineth in darkness
-B-BA and the darkness comprehendeth it not.
-B–CA 8 I [YHWH] came unto Mine [Yeshua] own,
-B–C-B and Mine [Yeshua] own received Me [YHWH] not;
-B–C–C but unto as many as received Me [Yeshua]
-B–C—D gave I [YHWH] power to do many miracles,
-B–C–C and to become the sons [followers] of God [Elohim];
-B–C-B and even unto them that believed on My [YHWH] name [character]
-B–CA gave I [YHWH] power to obtain eternal life.
-B-BA 9 And even so I [YHWH] have sent Mine [YHWH] everlasting covenant into the world,
-B-B-B to be a light to the world,
-B-B–C and to be a standard for My [YHWH] people,
-B-B-B and for the Gentiles to seek to it,
-B-BA and to be a messenger before My [YHWH] face to prepare the way before Me [YHWH].
-BAAA 10 Wherefore, come ye unto it,
-BAAB and with him that cometh I [YHWH] will reason
-BA-B as with men in days of old,
-BAAA and I [YHWH] will show unto you
-BAAB My [YHWH] strong reasoning.
–CAA 11 Wherefore, hearken ye together
–CA-B and let Me [YHWH] show unto you even My [YHWH] wisdom—
–CA-B the wisdom of Him [YHWH] whom ye say is the God [Elohim] of Enoch,
–CAA and his brethren,
–C-BA 12 Who were separated from the earth,
–C-B-B and were received unto Myself [YHWH]—
–C-B–C a city reserved until a day of righteousness shall come—
–C-B–C a day which was sought for by all holy men,
–C-B-B and they found it not
–C-BA because of wickedness and abominations;
–C–CA 13 And confessed
–C–CB they were strangers
–C–CB and pilgrims on the earth;
–C-BA 14 But obtained a promise
–C-BB that they should find it
–C-BC and see it in their flesh.
–CAA 15 Wherefore, hearken and I [YHWH] will reason with you,
–CA-B and I [YHWH] will speak unto you
–CA-B and prophesy,
–CAA as unto men in days of old.
—DAAA 16 And I [YHWH] will show it plainly
—DAAB as I [YHWH] showed it unto My [Yeshua] disciples
—DAAC as I [Yeshua] stood before them in the flesh,
—DA-BA and spake unto them, saying:
—DA-BB As ye have asked of Me [Yeshua] concerning the signs of My [YHWH] coming,
—DA-BC in the day when I [YHWH] shall come in My [YHWH] glory in the clouds of heaven,
—DAAA to fulfil the promises
—DAAB that I [YHWH] have made
—DAAC unto your fathers,
—D-BA 17 For as ye have looked upon the long absence
—D-B-B of your spirits from your bodies to be a bondage,
—D-B–C I [YHWH] will show unto you
—D-B-B how the day of redemption shall come,
—D-BA and also the restoration of the scattered Israel.
—D–CAA 18 And now ye [disciples] behold this temple which is in Jerusalem,
—D–CAB which ye [disciples] call the house of God [Elohim],
—D–CBA and your [disciples] enemies say
—D–CBB that this house shall never fall.
—D—DAA 19 But, verily I [YHWH] say unto you [disciples],
—D—DAB that desolation shall come upon this generation
—D—D-B as a thief in the night,
—D—DAA and this people [Jews] shall be destroyed
—D—DAB and scattered among all nations.
—D–CA 20 And this temple [Jerusalem]
—D–C-B which ye now see
—D–C–C shall be thrown down
—D–C-B that there shall not be left one stone
—D–CA upon another.
—D-BA 21 And it shall come to pass,
—D-B-B that this generation of Jews shall not pass away
—D-B–C until every desolation
—D-B-B which I [YHWH] have told you
—D-BA concerning them shall come to pass.
—DAA 22 Ye say that ye know that the end of the world cometh;
—DA-BA ye say also that ye know that the heavens and the earth
—DA-BB shall pass away;
—DA–C 23 And in this ye say truly,
—DA–C for so it is;
—DA-BA but these things which I [YHWH] have told you
—DA-BB shall not pass away
—DAA until all shall be fulfilled.
—-EAA 24 And this I [YHWH] have told you [disciples] concerning Jerusalem;
—-EAB and when that day shall come,
—-EAC shall a remnant be scattered among all nations;
—-E-BAA 25 But they [remnant] shall be gathered again;
—-E-BAB but they [remnant] shall remain
—-E-BAC until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
—-E-B-BA 26 And in that day shall be heard of wars and rumors of wars,
—-E-B-B-B and the whole earth shall be in commotion,
—-E-B-B–C and men’s hearts shall fail them,
—-E-B-B-B and they shall say that Christ [the Messiah]
—-E-B-BA delayeth His [Yeshua’s] coming until the end of the earth.
—-E-B–CA 27 And the love of men shall wax cold,
—-E-B–CB and iniquity shall abound.
—-E-B–CA 28 And when the times of the Gentiles is come in,
—-E-B–C-B a light shall break forth
—-E-B–C-B among them that sit in darkness,
—-E-B–CA and it shall be the fulness of My [YHWH] gospel;
—-E-B-BA 29 But they receive it not;
—-E-B-B-B for they perceive not the light,
—-E-B-B-B and they turn their hearts from Me [YHWH]
—-E-BA because of the precepts of men.
—-E-BAA 30 And in that generation
—-E-BAB shall the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
—-E-BAC 31 And there shall be men standing in that generation,
—-E–CAA that shall not pass until they shall see an overflowing scourge;
—-E–CAB for a desolating sickness shall cover the land.
—-E–C-BA 32 But My [YHWH] disciples
—-E–C-BB shall stand in holy places,
—-E–C-BC and shall not be moved;
—-E–C-BA but among the wicked,
—-E–C-B-B men shall lift up their voices
—-E–C-B-B and curse God [Elohim]
—-E–C-BA and die.
—-E–CAA 33 And there shall be earthquakes also in divers places,
—-E–CAB and many desolations;
—-E—DA yet men will harden their hearts against Me [YHWH],
—-E—D-B and they will take up the sword,
—-E—D-B one against another,
—-E—DA and they will kill one another.
—-E–CA 34 And now, when I [Yeshua] the Lord [YHWH]
—-E–CB had spoken these words unto My [Yeshua] disciples,
—-E–CC they were troubled.
—-E-BAA 35 And I [Yeshua] said unto them:
—-E-BA-B Be not troubled,
—-E-BA–C for, when all these things shall come to pass,
—-E-BA-B ye may know that the promises
—-E-BAA which have been made unto you shall be fulfilled.
—-E-B-BA 36 And when the light shall begin to break forth,
—-E-B-BB it shall be with them like unto a parable which I [YHWH] will show you—
—-E-BAA 37 Ye look and behold the fig trees,
—-E-BA-B and ye see them with your eyes,
—-E-BA–C and ye say when they begin to shoot forth,
—-E-BA-B and their leaves are yet tender,
—-E-BAA that summer is now nigh at hand;
—-EAA 38 Even so it shall be in that day
—-EAB when they shall see all these things,
—-EAC then shall they know that the hour is nigh.
—-EAAA 39 And it shall come to pass that he that feareth [reveareth] Me [YHWH]
—-EAAB shall be looking forth for the great day of the Lord [YHWH] to come,
—-EA-B even for the signs
—-EA–C of the coming of the Son of Man.
—-EA-BA 40 And they shall see signs and wonders,
—-EA-B-B for they shall be shown forth in the heavens above,
—-EA-B–C and in the earth beneath.
—-EA-B–C 41 And they shall behold blood [wars],
—-EA-B-B and fire [judgements],
—-EA-BA and vapors of smoke.
—-EAAA 42 And before the day of the Lord [YHWH] shall come,
—-EAA-B the sun shall be darkened,
—-EAA-C and the moon be turned into blood,
—-EAAA and the stars fall from heaven.
—-E-BA 43 And the remnant shall be gathered
—-E-BB unto this place [Jerusalem];
—-E-BA 44 And then they shall look for Me [YHWH],
—-E-B-B and, behold, I [YHWH] will come;
—-E-B–C and they shall see Me [YHWH] in the clouds [judgements] of heaven,
—-E-B–C clothed with power and great glory;
—-E-B-B with all the holy angels;
—-E-BA and he that watches not for Me [YHWH] shall be cut off.
—-EAA 45 But before the arm of the Lord [YHWH] [MSO] shall fall [destruction],
—-EA-BA an angel [Hur] shall sound his trump,
—-EA-BB and the saints that have slept [died, including MSO & Aaron]
—-EA-BC shall come forth to meet Me [YHWH] in the cloud [judgement].
—-EA–C 46 Wherefore, if ye have slept in peace blessed are you;
—-EA—D for as you now behold Me [YHWH] and know that I am,
—-EA—D even so shall ye come unto Me [YHWH] and your souls shall live,
—-EA–C and your redemption shall be perfected;
—-EA-BA and the saints shall come forth
—-EA-BB from the four quarters of the earth.
—-EAA 47 Then shall the arm of the Lord [YHWH] [MSO] fall upon [destroy] the nations.
—DAA 48 And then shall the Lord [YHWH] set His [YHWH] foot upon this mount,
—DA-B and it shall cleave in twain,
—DA–C and the earth shall tremble,
—DA-B and reel to and fro,
—DAA and the heavens also shall shake.

-B-B-B that ye [Joseph] may now translate it,
-B-B-B that ye [Joseph] may be prepared
-B-BA for the things to come.

A-B–C call upon the inhabitants to repent,

A—D-B a land of peace,

A—-E-B will not come unto it,
A—-EA and it shall be called Zion.

A—D—DB in the eyes of the people,
A—D—DC and in the eyes of your enemies,
A—D–C that they may not know your works
A—D-B until ye have accomplished the thing
A—DA which I [YHWH] have commanded you;
A–CA 73 That when they shall know it,
A–CB that they may consider these things.
A-BA 74 For when the Lord [YHWH] shall appear
A-B-B He [YHWH] shall be terrible unto them,
A-B-B that fear may seize upon them,
A-BA and they shall stand afar off and tremble.

A and their destruction slumbereth not.
In closing I want to leave on a positive note that deals with the coming events.

A if all this is so, then the Lord [YHWH]
-BA knows how to rescue the godly
