Bible trivia time .    two questions .   WHEN does the dark king stand and HOW does he destroy .

I am going to refrain from the first part of the question in the matter of "when", as I am an Historicist, and do not desire to cause this thread to be derailed by my studied answer (which has two very detailed answers, a past and a soon coming fulfillment).

In very short, the "dark sentences" is the understanding of mysteries (of scripture), connect also to Revelation 17:5, "MYSTERY":

see "dark sayings" Psa. 49:4, 78:2; Pro. 1:6; Eze. 17:2; Matt. 13:34; Mark 4:13,34,

see also “mystery[ies]” Matt. 13:11; Mark 4:11; Luke 8:10; Rom. 11:25, 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:7, 4:1, 13:2, 14:2, 15:51; Eph. 1:9, 3:3,4,5,9, 5:32, 6:19; Col. 1:26,27, 2:2, 4:3; 2 Thess. 2:7; 1 Tim. 3:9,16; Rev. 1:20, 10:7, 17:5,7.

See also “riddle” in Num. 12:8; Judg. 14:12-19.

See also “hard questions” in 1 Ki. 10:1; 2 Chron. 9:1.

See also “...take up a parable … a taunting proverb...” Hab. 2:6;p. To speak in proverbs is to speak in symbols, John 16:29 “His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.”, thus, as it is written, Prov. 25:2 “[It is] the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings [is] to search out a matter.”

The word "parable" is used in the Bible (KJB) [49 times]:

Numbers 23:7,18, 24:3,15,20,21,23; Job 27:1, 29:1; Psalms 49:4, 78:2; Proverbs 26:7,9; Ezekiel 17:2, 24:3; Micah 2:4; Habakkuk 2:6; Matthew 13:18,24,31,33,34,36, 15:15, 21:33, 24:32; Mark 4:10,13,34, 7:17, 12:12, 13:28; Luke 5:36, 6:39, 8:4,9,11, 12:16,41, 13:6, 14:7, 15:3, 18:1,9, 19:11, 20:9,19, 21:29; John 10:6

The related word "proverb" is used in the Bible (KJB) [20 times]:

Deuteronomy 28:37; 1 Samuel 10:12, 24:13; 1 Kings 9:7; 2 Chronicles 7:20; Psalms 69:11; Proverbs 1:6; Isaiah 14:4; Jeremiah 24:9; Ezekiel 12:22,23 (x2), 14:8, 16:44, 18:2,3; Habakkuk 2:6; Luke 4:23; John 16:29; 2 Peter 2:22

The related word "proverbs" is used in the Bible (KJB) [9 times]:

Numbers 21:27; 1 Kings 4:32; Proverbs 1:1, 10:1, 25:1; Ecclesiastes 12:9; Ezekiel 16:44; John 16:25 (x2)

The related word "mystery" is used in the Bible (KJB) [22 times]:

Mark 4:11; Romans 11:25, 16:25; 1 Corinthians 2:7, 15:51; Ephesians 1:9, 3:3,4,9, 5:32, 6:19; Colossians 1:26,27, 2:2, 4:3; 2 Thessalonians 2:7; 1 Timothy 3:9,16; Revelation 1:20, 10:7, 17:5,7

1 Kings 10:1; 2 Chronicles 9:1

The related word "dark saying" is used in the Bible (KJB) [1 times]:

Psalms 49:4

The related word "dark sayings" is used in the Bible (KJB) [2 times]:

Psalms 78:2; Proverbs 1:6

As to the second part of the question, in the matter of "how":

Daniel 8:23  And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

Daniel 8:24  And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.

Daniel 8:25  And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

Daniel 11:21  And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

Daniel 11:24  He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.

"peace" is connected with the Everlasting Gospel:

Nahum 1:15  Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.

Luke 2:14  Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Acts 10:36  The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

Romans 5:1  Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Therefore the "peace" by which it is used to destroy, is through a false gospel:

Galatians 1:6  I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

Galatians 1:7  Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

Galatians 1:8  But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

Galatians 1:9  As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

THIS right HERE answers both questions .   the WHEN ,    is when transgressors have come to the FULL.

the HOW ,   is by peace .

and now a  word .    take a peek at this world and churches embacing and waxing full .   and at the same

time a message is also being preached ,   Lets all come together for UNITY ,  UNITY all inclusive world PEACE .

now we know exactly who is about to rise and who this all inclusive unity for world PEACE will lead them too .

THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES are RIGHT IN FRONT of our faces .

[02.] a “mystery” surrounds his Gospel
[03.] 30 Year period
[04.] Had a 3 ½ Year timeframe that is spoken of in the prophecy of Scripture, that came after the 30 year period
[05.] At the end of that 3 ½ Year timeframe*, He was taken captive
[06.] the Head of a Body was killed by the State, and by very zealous people who cared not what God wanted
[07.] after a period of time would pass, the Head of the Body was to live again
[08.] part of His many titles, would include partly “Christ ...”, “Rock ...”, “Foundation ...”, “Prince ...”, “Son ...”, “Father ...” [having “children ...”], “King”, “Lord ...” and “God ...”

other factors of the existence:

[01.] would go down to Egypt
[02.] would ride atop a animal
[03.] would enter Jerusalem/Glorious Land
[04.] He would have followers of many kinds of people
[05.] would have “sheep” or flock
[06.] would be above the “waters”
[07.] would speak “dark sayings”
[08.] would do many “miracles”
[09.] taken up a war/great controversy
[10.] would come with the “spirit”
[11.] a day would come when he would be “revealed”
[12.] A question surrounds him, “Who is like unto...” him?

Damascus 

 

As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
