The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Daniel 9:26-27, “Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined.
27 “And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.”

Thus far, we have recognized the First Sign as the regathering of the Jewish people; the Second Sign, as a Surging Apostasy; the Third Sign is the Coming Middle Eastern Peace. Now comes the Fourth Sign: the reuniting of the Roman Empire. This “Group of Ten’ is first mentioned in Daniel 2:41-44, where it is symbolized as ten toes on a great statue.

The Fifth Sign concerns the rebirth of the Roman Empire! Ever since Genesis 10, when Satan ruled the world through one man, Nimrod, Satan’s goal has been to get the world together again so he can rule it all. Today the electronic media, especially the use of television (via satellite) is a tremendous tool that allows instant communication around the world. Cable news now covers almost every corner of the planet. Access to the Internet, plus satellite cell phones, et al, puts people in instant communication virtually everywhere on the globe.

All of this (and more) is taking place in our own time! Sometimes things occur so rapidly that it is virtually impossible to keep abreast of their occurrences. Still, we must not lose sight of the spiritual aspects contained in it all. Jesus is coming; and it is seriously possible that many believers may reach
Heaven before all of this above comes to pass. The Big Question is: “Are We Ready?” I am! I hope you are, too!

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
