Daniel 8:17 …כִּי/because לְעֶת־/for a time of קֵץ/ an end [is] הֶחָזֹֽון/the vision/revelation.
“…because the vision is for a time of an end.”
– not “the time of the end,” as this is generally mistranslated. (There is no ה/“the” before קץ.) That interpretation has imposed within it the presumption that

Part 1: The Heaven-Bound

[Last paragraph of Part 1: In the End Times, the spiritual fulfillment of the “first of the firstfruits” will be that of the Manchild of Revelation 12:5, who is to be “caught up to God and to His throne” before the Woman has fully escaped into the wilderness with her people. Rev. 12:6; see Part 2.]

Covenant, Corporation, and Constitution
Under precedent dating back to Israel’s covenant with God at Mount Sinai, corporations (assemblies, congregations of people) – be they public, private, for- or non-profit, or national – are formed by two-part written covenants. The first part, commonly called the articles, summarizes the basic beliefs, principles, and purposes for which the corporation is founded. (At Mount Sinai, this was the Ten Commandments.) The second and longer part, the by
Turning Evil into Good
Our pasts are our teachers and guides.
Now, even though we have done foolish and evil things in the past, if, because of them, we have learned not to do such things, then God has brought the good of wisdom out of our past foolishness and evil. Thus, good fruits in our lives can be harvested out of our past evils, even as good fruits of a garden may be derived from composted dung.
Two prime examples of this principle are seen in the lives of Pe
