Turn with me in your Bible to the twelfth chapter of Daniel. Come to the end of a wonderful glorious study in this book. In another sense, maybe we've just established the beginning because I hope and pray that you will go back to this book again and again to be enriched with its tremendous truths. We're looking at the last portion of the book, chapter 12 verse 4 through 13, 12:4 through 13.
It is obvious, I think, to all of us that man is curious about his future. We have in human society, and I suppose we've always had, people who look into the future or attempt to do so or offer themselves as those that are able to do that. And they have held the fascination of man throughout his existence: stargazers, fortune tellers, wizards, palm readers, tea bag tale tellers, seers, prophets, predictors, mediums, on and on. But they've always had a wide and lucrative response from people. Why? Basically because deep down within man is tremendous curiosity about the future.
But why? Why is it that man so desperately seems to want to know the future? Well, maybe three reasons. Number one is just curiosity. We just want to know because we don't know. And there's a certain amount of anxiety about what you don't know. And I think man would just like to end the anxiety about the unknown and so he's curious about the future. But there's more than that. I think men want to know the future in many cases in order to capitalize on what is coming. If men could know the future, they could know how to play the stock market, they could know about all the things that are going to come in the world and they could hedge against it. In other words, greed, ambition or selfish fulfillment might be a reason people want to know the future.
Thirdly, and I think most significantly, people want to know the future because of fear. Because, you see, basically we live in the fear of the unexpected. It is what we don't know that scares us. It is what might happen. And man has always wanted to eliminate the unexpected and therefore eliminate his fear. So, whether it's curiosity, or a certain amount of self-serving greed or fear, there has always been an amazing curiosity about the future.
We have in our own time a tremendous interest in futurism. Science fiction and all of the amazing films and books that continue to come out that want to take us into the future have shown us how man's curiosity is peaked in this area. Even a book like The Late Great Planet Earthsells over 20 million copies. People want to know about the future and it also spawned hundreds of other books that people bought in the millions.
Now, the only true source of knowledge about the future is the Bible. I'll say that again. The only true source of knowledge about the future is the Bible. There is no other true source. And Daniel is one of the great prophetic books of the Bible. In this book we learn about the future. God gives us glimpses of future events, future personalities, future judgments, future blessings. And thus, this is a remarkable book.
Now why does God tell us about the future? Just to deal with our curiosity? To give us the ability to sort of hedge against what's coming in a self-serving way? No. I believe basically there are four reasons God tells us about the future and I tried to think this through, this week, and I think you'll agree with me.
First of all, God tells us about the future to authenticate His Word. One of the great authentications of the veracity of the Bible is that it predicts the future. And then when the thing it predicts come to pass, it's a convincing argument that God wrote it. So in terms of God Himself, it authenticates His Word.
Secondly, God tells us about the future in order to reveal His sovereignty. He wants us to know that He is charting the course of human history.
Thirdly, I believe that God tells us about the future in order to both motivate and comfort His people. When we know the Lord is coming, we get busy living for Him. John says, "He that bath this hope in him, purifies himself." When we know He's coming, we are comforted that no matter what happens in the world, it's all going to come out in the end with the Lord Jesus Christ reigning as King of kings.
So God tells us the future to authenticate the truth of His Word, to reveal the sovereignty of His person and to comfort and to motivate His people. And there's one other reason. I believe God reveals the future in order to admonish the wicked and sinful...to warn them of coming judgment. God wants us to know something about the future, enough to let us know the Bible is true because it can predict and when it is fulfilled it shows its truthfulness. He wants us to know that He is sovereign. He wants us to be motivated and comforted. And He wants the lost and the wicked to be warned about coming doom.
Now, all four of these purposes have been seen remarkably in the book of Daniel. We have seen God give history before it happened. We can look back and see that it all came to pass exactly as He said it would. We have seen that God is sovereignly controlling all of history. We have seen God make great effort to comfort and also motivate His people Israel through these prophecies as well as to warn the wicked and the lost. And so, these have been marvelous and thrilling and comprehensive and sweeping prophetic statements.
But with all of the remarkable and amazing detail of the book of Daniel, with all of the accuracy of the Word of God revealed here about the future, even after we've studied all of these twelve chapters, we are left with the fact that there's still a lot of mystery, isn't there? For the more we know, the more we know we don't know. And so, as we come to chapter 12 and we say to ourselves, "We're already at the end of the book? You mean there's no more? I'm not sure I understand it all." That's right. Don't feel bad, I don't understand it all either. The only thing that I can understand is what God says and He hasn't said it all. There is mystery involved. There is much that is unsaid.
And that is not only my problem and your problem but would you believe that was Daniel's problem? He didn't get it all either. In fact, if I may be so bold, he didn't understand it as well as we do.
You say, "Now wait a minute. How come?" Because he had only to deal with Daniel, fortunately we also have Revelation. And the book of Revelation adds much to our understanding. So Daniel in chapter 12 is still somewhat mystified. At best, the prophecies are sketches, not full color scapes. At best, the figures are stick figures. And we really don't see the fullness of all of the future, even those of us who have the benefit of hearing the Olivet discourse of our Lord in which He spoke more details, even those of us who have the marvelous promises of the book of Revelation, even having all of that, we don't understand it all. And Daniel, minus those things, certainly didn't. They were so far away from the end times that they were limited in their perception.
Peter speaks of this in 1 Peter in a most interesting passage. Chapter 1 verse 10. He says that the salvation the prophets have inquired and searched of, the very salvation they prophesied regarding the grace, and that has to do with the coming of Christ and His provision for a gracious salvation, the thing the prophets spoke of: "Searching," verse 11, "what person," literally, or "what manner of time the Spirit of Christ who was in them did signify when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow."
In other words, what it's saying is they actually were getting the prophecies and then going back and studying the meaning of the very prophecies they were receiving about Christ. Because, verse 12, "Unto whom it was revealed that not unto themselves but unto us they did minister the things which are now reported unto you." In other words, just to give you the idea here, the prophets read it but they didn't fully understand it, they looked into it but it was not clear to them in its totality, it is more clear to us, says Peter, who have seen Christ that it was to them. And the details yet of His Second Coming, await a full understanding. They had a thirst to know more than they could understand.
In Matthew 13 verse 17, "For verily I say unto you that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see and have not seen them and to hear those things which ye hear and have not heard them." Jesus is saying, many of the prophets and many of the righteous men wanted to see the coming of Messiah, they wanted to see His arrival and to see Him and to hear Him. Verse 16, "Blessed are your eyes for they see and your ears for they hear."
They didn't have that privilege. And so, when they wrote about Christ, they had to search to see what person and what time and what events could bring this to pass. So, what Peter is saying is that there was a certain amount of mystery even about the first coming of Christ. Ah, how much more mystery even about the Second Coming.
Now, in this final section, the Lord deals with Daniel and also with a couple of angels who express some questions about the details of what is coming to pass. Even after all of the information of the book, there is still much mystery. But all of this revelation has managed to peak their interest and they want more. And so, in the closing section from verse 4 to 13, the Lord clarifies some final features. And even after the clarification, leaves an abundant mystery for the future.
Now, let's see these final words and we'll take them just as they flow in the text and move right on through. First of all, the content sealed; secondly, the chronology set; then the confusion stated; the cleansing secured; and the commendation sword.
First, the content sealed...the content sealed, verse 4: "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book even to the time of the end." We can stop there for the moment.
Now, the angel says to him the vision that began in chapter 10, or the revelation that began in chapter 10, the revelation of the history of Israel from Daniel's time to the time of the Antichrist, all of that sweeping revelation is over. I've given you the final words of this last revelation. Now roll up the scroll and shut it. That's all. That's the end. Seal it until the time of the end.
Now that is a very specific period of time. Let me just work up to that. The verse begins "Shut up the words, close up the words." And what really is being said here is the idea of preservation, don't let this thing get away, shut it up, preserve it, seal it, make it secure. And it could even apply with an authenticating stamp so people treat it with seriousness. Seal it up so that it is secure and preserve it.
Preserve it till when? The time of the end. Preserve it to the time of the end. Now the word "book" there, seal the book, has reference to written material. The word cepherin the Hebrew usually refers to a rather substantial material, that is in length, a large amount of material. So the instruction from this glorious angel who has given him the revelation is now to seal it up and preserve it for the time of the end.
Now what does he mean by this? Well, what he is saying is a reference, mark this, to the time of the Great Tribulation. It is best to interpret the phrase "the time of the end" as a reference to the Tribulation time. It is not a new term. It is a term used in chapter 11 verse 35. Over in verse 40 of 11 it says: "And at the time of the end, the king of the south shall push and the king of the north," and there we're into the battles of the Tribulation. So it is best to see "the time of the end" as a reference to the period of the Tribulation.
Now what is it saying? Mark this now. You preserve that book, seal it up until the time of the Great Tribulation. Now the sealing does not mean the message is hidden, it only means that it is safely preserved for those who come later, especially those in the Great Tribulation. Now we're not in the Great Tribulation yet and we, as it were, unrolled the scroll of Daniel and we are reading it. And we understand it better than Daniel did because we have all of the intervening history and because we have the addition of the book of Revelation and the commentary of our Lord in Matthew 24 and 25 in which He comments on the book of Daniel. So we have a lot more understanding. But the fullest understanding of Daniel will not come until the Great Tribulation. Now that's a very important truth.
During the time of the Tribulation, I believe, the book of Daniel will be reopened by the people of God and studied all over again and they'll understand it as clearly as if they were reading the daily newspaper because all of the events will come to pass. In fact, we talked last time about how is it that so many people are going to be saved? It says an innumerable number of Gentiles, it says all Israel will be saved, and we talked about that and will say more about that tonight, but what is going to be the instrumentation? Well, certainly the ministry of the 144 thousand. But I also believe that added to that, the book of Daniel and also, no doubt, the book of Revelation will be two books that the world will focus on because they will chronicle blow-by-blow, detail-by-detail every single event occurring in the Tribulation.
So, Daniel, to begin with, just recognize this, you can't fully understand it, preserve it until the last time, the time of the Tribulation when it will be able to be fully understood.
Now, let's go to the rest of verse 4. "At that time, many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall be increased." Now this is a most interesting phrase, been interpreted many ways. Let me give you what is the basic interpretation, the words, the context that I think makes real sense. It is not talking about the increase of scientific knowledge primarily, although that may be an allusion or an implication that could be drawn. What it is talking about is this, many people in the Tribulation, the time of the end, are going to run to and fro trying to find out answers to what's going on. And they're going to find the book of Daniel and at that point, their knowledge will be increased.
It is used many times in the Old Testament of a person in search of information. Chasing and running and looking for answers. And I really think that's what it is here.
In Jeremiah 5:1 you have the same word, it is the word shuwt(?) in the Hebrew in its Pollel(?) form, for those of you who are Hebrew students. "Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem and see now and know and seek in its broad places if you can find a man, if there be any, who executeth justice, that seeketh the truth and I will pardon."
In other words, run around and try to find somebody. That seems to be its use. And the same is indicated in Zechariah 4:10. And you get the idea of someone running around trying to find an answer. And I believe that when the time of the end comes upon the world, the Jews are going to run around and try to find an answer...why is this happening? Why is this holocaust again upon us? Why are all these disasters coming? Why are these events taking place? Painstakingly they will study to find the answers and I believe when they come to the unrolling of the scroll of Daniel, knowledge will be increased. They'll get their answers. They'll understand.
Leon Wood in his extremely helpful commentary gives us the paraphrase of the thought in these terms. He says, "Many shall run to and fro in their desire for knowledge of the last things and finding it in Daniel's book because it will have been preserved to this end, their knowledge shall be increased." In other words, Daniel has to preserve his book so that people of all time, from his day until the end, may have knowledge of these events. And the most clear understanding will come to those who are living through it.
And you know what's especially wonderful about that? Go backwards to verse 3, "And they that be wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament and they that turn many to righteousness shall shine as the stars forever and ever." You know something? Daniel will be used by God to turn many to righteousness, centuries, millennia after he's dead because he was the human author of this book which will give them answers in the time of the Tribulation.
The angel is then saying to Daniel, "Look, the content is sealed, Daniel. As far as the immediate future is concerned, any attempt to fully understand will be impossible, but in the end it will all become clear."
Now, the obvious question is this. When is this going to happen? When is the end? When is everybody going to read it and understand? When is it going to happen? Now I know Daniel wanted to ask that question because he asks it similarly later in the chapter, but before Daniel can ask that question, two others butt in and they ask it. You know who they are? Two angels. That's right.
Verse 5, we go from the content sealed to the chronology set. The chronology is here set. When is it going to happen? I'll give you the chronology. "Then I Daniel looked and behold there stood two others," two other whats? Well, what was he talking to, or who? An angel, two other angels. "Two other angels appeared, one on this side of the bank of the river and the other on that side of the bank of the river."
Now, he was near, according to chapter 10 verse 4, the river Hiddekel which is another name for the Tigris. This is where he was when the whole thing began. And all of a sudden he looks and on either side of the river he sees two other angels, other than the glorious angel to whom he has been speaking. Now why do these two appear? Why two angels? Well, most Bible commentators feel that God when He wanted to confirm some great revelation confirmed it in the mouth of two witnesses. And so they are there as witnessing the proclamation that's about to be made.
Now, again we see angelic involvement in the proclamation and execution of the plan of God. This to me is one of the most fascinating studies. If you haven't ever listened to the series we did on the angels, you should. It's thrilling to see how the angels are involved. Just because you don't see them doesn't mean they're not there. They're involved in the plan of God...carrying it out. And here they appear. And in verse 6, watch what happens. "And one said to the man clothed in linen," oh-oh, somebody else appears. "Who was above the waters of the river."
Now there's one on one side, one on the other and a man clothed in linen in the middle on top of the river, over the river, up in the sky. And what did one say? "How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?" You want to know something? The angels are just as curious as Daniel. Apparently they don't have the whole thing either. In fact, if you remember the words of Jesus when they said to Him, you know, when shall these things be? And He made the statement that no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, not even the Son of Man in His humiliation, but only the Father. There's mystery with them. And they're curious. In fact, in 1 Peter 1 it says, "These things the angels desired to look into." They're just as fascinated by the prophecies as we are. And they beat Daniel to the punch.
So, he sees a man clothed in linen over the top of the river. He sees an angel on either side of the river and one of the angels, perhaps the one nearest to him whose voice he could hear, says to the man clothed in linen over the middle of the river, "How long is it going to be till the end of these wonders?"
Now, who is the man clothed in linen? Well, in order to know that you go back to chapter 10 verse 5 when the whole thing began. He says, "When I was there on the twentieth day of the first month by the side of the great river, I lifted up mine eyes and looked and behold a certain man clothed in linen." Now who is this man clothed in linen? Well, "His loins are girded with the fine gold of Uphaz, His body was like the beryl and His face like the appearance of lightning and His eyes like lamps of fire and His arms and His feet in color like polished bronze and the voice of His words like the voice of a multitude of the voice of a sea." And that description is almost an identical parallel of the description of the Lord Jesus Christ in the first chapter of Revelation. You can just take it step by step.
The man clothed in fine linen, as we showed you in that text at that time, was none other than the preincarnate Christ. It is a Christophany, a theophany, the uncreated Christ appearing in preincarnate manner. And He is clothed in linen because linen was the garment of the priesthood and white linen was the symbol of holiness and purity. And so, here He appears again. And isn't it marvelous that in the conclusion of Daniel's life as he approaches 90 years of age and the conclusion of all of his revelations and prophecies, his last and final vision is a vision of the one who is to come to bring it all to pass? What a glorious thing. And so he sees this majestic marvelous man clothed in linen. And you can be sure that all of those things that were true of His appearance in chapter 10 are equally true of His appearance again in chapter 12. And the angels, you see, ask Him for the information. And that indicates to me that this is in fact God the second person of the trinity, for He has information angels do not have. And the angels are seen in subordinate places down on the edge of the river, He is seen in the middle, elevated.
It's kind of reminiscent of Psalm 29:10 where it says the Lord sitteth upon the flood, or the waters. Now, the angels ask the question: how long is it going to be till the end of these wonders? When is the time of the end?
Now, what wonders? Well, the ones he's just been talking about, the wonders that are connected with the reign of Antichrist. They've just given him all of these things that Antichrist is going to do at the end of chapter 11 in this time of Great Tribulation, or trouble in chapter 12 verse 1. How long is it going to be, now watch this phrase, to the end of these wonders? He's not talking about all the history from Daniel's time to Antichrist, but just the end of it...just the end of these things. How long till the Antichrist is going to do these things? They want to know the duration of time. They want to know when it's going to come to pass.
Well, why would the angels want to know that? Well, I think the angels are probably even in Daniel's time pretty sick of fighting demons and they just soon get it over with. Don't you think? They must have gotten a little bit weary like those angels earlier in the book who had to constantly fight up in space of Tyre to get the work of God done. Michael's been defending the people of Israel for a long time. And they're just as anxious to see the redemption as you and I. How long is it going to be until the end, till all of these things come under the Antichrist in the Great Tribulation? How long will the time of trouble last?
It kind of interests me that they were still asking this even though chapter 7 verse 25 had given them a pretty good answer. You don't need to turn to it but the Lord had told them there it was going to be three and a half years and it was long in the future. I think they probably knew that there was going to be three and a half years in a sense but maybe they just needed an affirmation, or maybe they didn't really understand that He meant that literally. That's very hard for me to know. Because He gives them the answer here that it's going to be three and a half years. And He had already said that in 7:25. I don't know why the angels needed an answer, or maybe they asked a question already knowing the answer but just to pose the opportunity. Tell us again, Lord. In that sense, how long is it going to be, we really don't know. But the question had been answered in chapter 7 verse 25 when the vision there had indicated to them three and a half years it was going to last. But nonetheless they ask it again.
Verse 7 comes the answer. "And I heard the man clothed in linen who was above the waters of the river, when He held up His right hand and His left hand unto heaven and swore by Him who liveth forever." Now this is fascinating. Whenever a Jew wanted to make an oath, he raised his right hand. And we do that, don't we? Go to court to testify, you raise your right hand, promise to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. You raise your right hand. That's a sign of a swearing. When you raise both hands, that's about as far as you can go. And that's an utter absolute binding affirmation. And here the Lord puts up both hands and swears by Him who lives forever. Who's that? That's God. God who alone has immortality, 1 Timothy 6:16. God alone lives forever. And He swears by the everlasting God.
And what does He swear? "That it shall be for a time," that's one, a time, "times," that's two, plural, "and a half," that's one plus two plus a half, three and a half. Three and a half years. How long is the Antichrist reign of terror? How long is it going to be that the end of these wonders will exist? Three and a half years.
That's very explicit, people. Very, very explicit. It's exactly what was said in chapter 7 verse 25, three and a half years. And then the Lord gives a purpose for the activity of Antichrist in verses 7, look at it. "And when he shall have accomplished," what? What are those three and a half years to accomplish? "The breaking up of the power of the holy people, all these things shall be ended." Do you know what the Tribulation is to do? It's to utterly devastate the holy people. Who are they? Who were the nations set apart unto God? Israel. The Antichrist is going to come and he is going to come, it says literally, to break up the power, or literally to shatter or dash to pieces the power of the Jews.
Now, we have to tell the people of Israel, bless them and love them, that it isn't going to get better, it's going to get a lot worse. And there is coming a future world ruler, they're going to put their faith in him, they're going to put their trust in him. Daniel 9 says they're going to sign an allegiance with him for seven years but in the middle of that seven years, at the beginning of the three and a half that end it, he is going to turn against them and he is going to devastate them and he is going to shatter them and he is going to dash them to pieces. He will break their power utterly and totally. He will bring such persecution as they have never conceived. He will bring a time of trouble like no other in the history of the world, it says in verse 1. And you know what will come out of it? Instead of destroying the people of God, he will crush them to the point where they will be so broken and so lost and so devastated that they will look to their Messiah. And as Zechariah puts it, they'll look on Him whom they've pierced and mourn for Him as an only son. And they will accept the Lord Jesus Christ as King and Messiah and Savior. They will be so crushed, they'll have no where to go but to Christ. And it will take the Antichrist three and a half years to bring this crushing, this breaking up to pass.
If you've wondered what the Tribulation is for, it is for the judgment of an evil earth, it is for the punishment of the nations, but in this part of the revelation, the writer focuses by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit on what will happen to Israel.
Now we know this three and a half year period is to come. From the book of Revelation, it is repeated over and over again. There's just no question about this. Chapter 11, it says there will come two witnesses who will preach and prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days. That's 1260 days. That is three and a half years on a 30-day month basis. And that's the Jewish calendar. So again, whether it's three and a half years or whether it's 1 26 0 days, it's the same thing.
You have it again in chapter 12 verse 6, "The Lord is going to protect the remnant of believing Israel for 1 26 0 days." In verse 14 of chapter 12, "They'll go into the wilderness and they'll be cared for a time, times and half a time," that's another way to say it, three and a half years...same idea. Chapter 13 verse 5 says, "Power will be given to the Antichrist 40 and two months." Forty-two months, that's three and a half years. So it's just repeated in every possible way you could repeat it. The ending of history is going to be the Antichrist crushing the holy people. And then they will become genuinely holy. Their sin will be so deep, their destruction so utter that they will look to their covenant-keeping God who will be faithful to redeem them through the Messiah. There will be a glorious, marvelous salvation.
Our Lord spoke of this in Matthew chapter 24 and verse 29. Listen to what He said. "Immediately after the Tribulation, immediately after the three and a half years, the sun is darkened, the moon doesn't give its light, the stars fall from heaven, the powers of the heavens are shaken and then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. Then shall all of 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," but watch, "and He'll send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet and they'll gather together His elect from the four winds from one end of heaven to the other." When He comes in utter judgment at the end of the Tribulation, He also comes to gather together His gloriously saved people. And that will encompass Israel. They'll turn to their Messiah in the terrible destruction of the Tribulation.
So, we see the content sealed in verse 4. In verses 5 to 7, the chronology is set. Now in verses 8 and 9, the confusion is stated. Daniel heard all this and he's still confused. Now remember, he doesn't have all the knowledge we do. And in the other side of the coin, he probably had a lot more that we don't because he maybe understood the depths of some things that we can't perceive because we're so cluttered with the world. But look at verses 8 and 9 and Daniel is confused.
"And I heard," he said, I mean, I heard it all, "but I was not understanding it." The idea of the imperfect use of the verb is that he was struggling along to try to figure it out but he couldn't quite get it. "And then said I, 0 my Lord," and that's another reason I believe the man clothed in linen was a Christophany, a preincarnate appearance of Christ, "0 my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?"
Now the angels said when and how long. That was their thing. How long does it last? He says, "What is it going to be like?" How severe? What kind of things are going to take place? I really don't think I understand. Daniel wanted to know the kind of events. How severe and how much would his people suffer to bring them to holiness? How much would it take? Tell me the degree of severity? Tell me the kind of events at the climax?
Now, he knew it was going to be a disaster. But he wanted some specifics. What did he get as an answer? Verse 9, "And He said," that is the man in linen said, "Go your way, Daniel." You know what kind of answer he got? He didn't get any answer. He said, Go away...go away, Daniel, "For the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end." He says to him again, "I can't help you, Daniel, because you can't understand them until you see the things begin to come to pass." In fact, in effect He said, Stop asking questions...you got all the information you're going to get. The information is preserved. It's sealed. It will be made clear in the future to those who live in the time in the end.
Now, those are words of rebuke in a way. But they're also words of comfort. The comfort consists in the fact that Daniel doesn't need to worry because God's in control. And the events are way far in the future. And the truth that he has been used by God to pen will be preserved for that future and become a source of knowledge and a source of salvation and comfort. In other words, there's a great principle here, beloved. He's saying be content with what God has revealed, rest content in that and stay away from meaningless speculation.
That's a good word for us. You know, I think there are so many people today who are trying to figure out every little nook and cranny in prophecy that they really muddied the waters. Let's accept what God has told us and leave the rest to mystery. We don't have to have every single prophetic detail catalogued and every event fully explained. I think a lot of us are going to get our eschatology rearranged in the end anyway. But. I think what he's saying here is you can't fully understand it until you get to the Tribulation time and those will understand it then. And Daniel wasn't going to be there, and frankly, folks, neither are we. But the people then will see it all.
Some time in your life and mine I have to learn to say, "I don't know, I don't understand." That's not bad, that's good.
That's not weakness, that's faith.
So Daniel's somewhat confused, but God gives him two glorious closing realities. The next one is the cleansing secured, verse 10 to 12 and I'm going to go by this rapidly so listen. This is great.
He doesn't want to leave him on a negative note. He doesn't want to say -Go away, Daniel, that's the end. That would be a terrible ending, wouldn't it? Wouldn't it be awful if it ended in verse 9? Go away, Daniel? Poor fellow, all I put into this deal. I mean, do you know what I've been through for 90 years? Go away? No, He doesn't leave him there, He's got something to add. And there's a cleansing secured. Verse 10, "Just know this, Daniel," you don't need the details, "but many shall be purified and made white and tested."
In other words, the same statement exactly made in verse 35 of chapter 11. Just know this, Daniel. That there will be a redeemed remnant born out of that time. That's all you need to know. They'll be a time when the people turn to Me and to the Messiah. "It will come to pass," says Zechariah 13:8, "that in all the land, says the Lord, two parts in it shall be cut off and die and the third shall be left." Not all, it doesn't say all shall be purified, it says what? Many, only a third according to Zechariah, two thirds will be destroyed. "But I'll bring that third part through the fire," that's the testing, "and refine them as silver is refined and test them as gold is tested and they will call on My name and I will hear them, I will say, He is My people and they shall say, The Lord is my God. That's the salvation of the remnant, the many, not all, the many. Then the many of Daniel becomes the all of Paul in Romans 11:26. They constitute the redeemed nation.
So, Daniel, there's a cleansing secured. Souls will be saved in the midst of an abominable wickedness. Look at verse 10 again, "But the wicked shall do wickedly." Isn't it amazing? These are the worst of times and yet these are the best of times. You know, I can honestly say that based upon the principle of the Word of God, you don't need to fear that the more wicked the world gets the more difficult it is to see men redeemed. That's not necessarily true. The most wicked time in the history of the world will be the Tribulation and it may be the greatest time of revival the world has ever seen because when men are left with nothing but evil, they have little difficulty recognizing their sinfulness. And that's prerequisite to salvation.
The wicked, they're going to go on doing wickedly. It's like Revelation 22 where it says, "Him that is filthy, let him be filthy still." I mean, they're going to go on with their vile evil, but in the midst of it all, many will be purified, made white and tested and they'll come out, as Zechariah 13:8 and 9 says, as gold and silver. The Tribulation is the apex of evil. All hell's fury is poured out, evil unrestrained, all the demons running across the earth. And in the midst of it all, glorious salvation. It's just like God to take all the fury that Satan can throw when he's at his full power and turn it into revival.
Now notice also in verse 10, "None of the wicked will understand but the wise will understand." The wicked won't know what's going on. They may even pick up the book of Daniel but they won't understand it because the natural man understandeth not what? The things of God. They won't be able to understand it. They won't see it at all. It's like today, we've been preaching a lot about the existence of the nation Israel and we say it's the great proof that the Bible is true, that that nation still exists. People hear that message and they just go on about their business and ignore it. They just ignore it. And in those days it says the wicked will never understand what's going on no matter how many preachers. Why? Because no one of his own human understanding perceives the truth of God. Great truth. If you're going to understand the Word of God you have to understand it by the Spirit of God. The truth is always unavailable to the wicked, it's hidden from the wise and the prudent, Matthew 11:25 says, and revealed unto babes. No man ever can understand the Word of God unless he is enlightened by the Holy Spirit to discern its true meaning.
So, Daniel says, "Well, what's going to happen?" The Lord says you don't need to know that. All you need to know is that many are going to be saved. Even though it's a time of consummate wickedness and even though the wicked won't understand what they're reading, the wise will understand, it will be clear to them.
And then the Lord gives him a little more truth about the cleansing of the people. Verse 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." Now get that.
Now what is this? The time the daily sacrifice is taken away. Well, for the seven years, Antichrist makes a treaty, right? They establish their worship in their temple. They're having a great time making their sacrifices, doing their thing in their temple. In the middle of that seven-year period the Antichrist says that's the end. He desecrates their temple, probably sets up an image of himself there. He abominates their worship. And from that time begins the fiery blazing persecution. And look what it says. "From that time shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days." Every other time it's a thousand two hundred and sixty days, 1260, how do we get 1290? Where does this come from? In Revelation 12, it's 1260, how come we've got an extra month?
Well, the purpose of what the Lord is saying here is to tell Daniel the time involved in the purification, verse 10, "Many will be purified, made white," and so forth. And it's going to take 1290 days. Why? Well, I believe the best explanation is this. You have 1260 days until the end of the Tribulation, the return of Christ. And then apparently you have 30 days. Thirty days for what? Thirty days for the remaining purging. And if you want to see that purging, all you have to do is open your Bible and read the twenty-fifth chapter of Matthew. It's called the judgment of the nations, or the judgment of the sheep and the goats. And I believe in a 30-day period, the Lord Jesus Christ finishes the purging...1290, 30 days to finish the purging, to determine who has a right, mark this, to enter the millennial Kingdom. Who has a right for the blessedness of Christ's Kingdom.
And then verse 12, and here's a positive note, "Blessed is he that waiteth and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days." Now wait a minute. Twelve hundred and sixty, now we've got 30 days more for cleaning up the judgment as defined in Matthew 25. And now we've got thirteen hundred and 35 days, that's 45 more days. You say, "What's that?" Well, it's not 45 more days for purging, but it's 45 more days for...what's the first word? Blessing. So if it takes Him an extra 30 days for the purging, it apparently will take an extra 45 for the full establishment of the Kingdom of blessing. I guess the best way to see that is the set up and if a man endures through the Tribulation by the grace of God and is a part of that living remnant and if he is a part of the sheep who are told you on My right hand inherit the Kingdom, he'll pass by the 1290 days and as He goes through that 45 days, he will enter into the blessedness of the establishment of the Kingdom.
Now, folks, that's pretty accurate stuff, isn't it? Pretty specific. The climax of the book, then, in verse 12, the Kingdom comes, blessed is he who waits and comes to the completion of the thirteen hundred and thirty-five days. Now I had people say, "Well, you just can't believe the Bible when it tries to be specific." That is such an asinine comment that it hardly deserves an answer. I mean, God is good at generalities but He has trouble with specifics? You can believe the minutiae as well as you can believe the general things.
So, the climax of the book is the final restoration and blessedness of Israel. Blessed is he that waiteth. Beloved, can I just add a footnote to that? Blessed are all of those who will enter the Kingdom. Blessed is everyone who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ. We'll be there. We'll be there. We come back with H im, I believe, in our glorified bodies to reign in His Kingdom. It will be a Kingdom of blessedness.
You say, "Well, what makes it so blessed to be there?" Let me just give it to you as fast as I can:
Because Christ will rule. Satan will be captive. Saints will have authority. Truth will dominate. Righteousness will flourish. Peace will reign. Joy will abound. Justice will pervade. The Holy Spirit's power will be revealed in fullness. There will be a new temple, a purged earth. The curse will be lifted. Plenty of food, health and healing. The exaltation of the city of Jerusalem. And so it goes. The blessed Kingdom.
It's kind of good, isn't it? That the book of Daniel ends in blessedness? It began with a sad captivity, didn't it? It began with a people of God ripped out of their land, slaughtered, taken captive. It sweeps us clear through all of human history to the time of their blessedness.
Finally, the Lord gives a commendation in verse 13. We've seen the contents sealed, the chronology set, the confusion stated, the cleansing secured and now the swearing of a commendation. I love this. "But go thou thou way till the end for thou shalt rest and stand in thy lot at the end of the days." This is a blessed benediction, a sworn promise by God to Daniel.
O what a man Daniel was. Nearly 90 years old, always faithful, God's man in a pagan land, devout, uncompromising, godly, loyal, courageous, prayerful, humble, zealous, compassionate, wise, bold, every good thing you could say about a man. He had been given thorough revelations of the history of the times of the Gentiles. He had been given insight into all of the destiny of Israel. He had seen the time of the end. He had seen the Antichrist, the Great Tribulation and the Kingdom of blessedness. And he knew that in the meantime Israel, his beloved people, would suffer horribly. So God gives him a glimpse of the preincarnate Christ, the man in linen who gives Daniel great comfort.
He gives him three things, three great features to this verse. Number one is responsibility. I think this speaks to us. He says to him, "Go your way." What does He mean by that? Live your life, Daniel. Go about your business and leave the future to Me. You live according to My Word and My will. You go your way, you do what I've told you to do. It's kind of like the New Testament where it says, "Occupy till I...what?...come." Live the life. It's like Peter who said, "Seeing you know all these things shall come to pass, what manner of persons ought you to be?" You ought to be holy, and godly. Go your way, live your life. That's a message to us.
What is your response to the fact that all this is coming to pass? You get your pajamas on and sit on the roof and wait for it? Do you panic? No, you just go your way. You just live the life so that when He comes you'll not be ashamed at His appearing. So the first feature is responsibility.
The second is a promise, resurrection. I love this. "For you shall rest and stand." In other words, go your way till the end. The end of what? The end of your life. Go your way till you die. And when you die, you'll rest and then you'll stand. What does that promise? Resurrection. One of the great Old Testament statements of resurrection. Daniel, you've got two things: responsibility--go your way, and resurrection--you're going to rest and then you're going to stand.
And a third thing, Daniel. Reward...reward. You're going to receive your lot at the end of the days. What is the lot? It's his inheritance. The corresponding Greek word is used in Colossians 1:12 for the inheritance of the saints. It is that inheritance laid away uncorruptible and undefiled and reserved for us in heaven. Daniel, I promise you this, you have responsibility as long as you live and when you die you'll rise again. And when you rise again, you'll be rewarded eternally. You'll inherit your lot in the Kingdom.
Well, it's thrilling, isn't it, to look at the future with that kind of view? I don't worry about dying, frankly, because I'm going to rise again. In fact, when we die, our spirit goes immediately to be with Jesus Christ and it's only the body we wait for anyway. And in that day when we rise again, we'll be rewarded. But until that time we have responsibility.
I'm so thrilled that at the end the Lord came face to face with Daniel and told him these things.
A father tells about being awakened in the night by his little boy. Apparently he was having a nightmare and he was just panicked. And he cried out, "Daddy." His father ran in the room and it was dark. And he said, "Daddy, are you here?" "Yes, son, I'm here," the father said reassuringly. "Daddy," said the little fella, "is your face looking at me?" The father answered, "Yes, son." The little fella lost his fear and went to sleep.
You know what the great hope of the future for us is? That the face of the Savior is looking at us, isn't it? He has us in His heart. He's not indifferent. He's there. All these things are going to come to pass..."Till heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or tittle shall in any wise pass from this law." But we don't fear because the Savior is looking at us in His heart. He had Daniel in His heart. He wouldn't let that man close out his life without stepping out of glory and speaking personally with this saint. What a great, great confidence that you and I have this same Christ who has H is face toward us who cares. We have responsibility, we have the promise of resurrection and eternal reward.
With those things in mind, God, help us to live like Daniel lived, to be the kind of man he was.
Father, thank You for our time in Your Word tonight. What a great, great book, how thrilling it's been to have the adventure of going through its truths. Bless these precious people, every one, every man, woman, young person and child. O God, may they fulfill all the good pleasure of Your will, may they live a life of responsibility in obedience, going their way to walk according to Your will and someday know that glorious resurrection when we stand with You in Your Kingdom, to be rewarded throughout eternity. O God, as we look at the future and know that it's all in Your hands, we are comforted and we are motivated. And Your Word is affirmed to us and Your sovereignty is made manifest. And we pray, too, Lord, that as those who hear who are lost, recognize these things to come, that they may be admonished to be sure that their lives are right with You, for that will be a day of judgment for those who know You know not. Father, may we be sure that we are ready for the inevitable day. Thank You for giving us all we need to anticipate blessedness because of Your grace in Christ in whose name we pray. Amen.

As of late August, fishermen have sustainably harvested more than 254 million salmon in a tightly regulated commercial fishery. The last time the Alaska salmon harvest hit those levels was 2005, the previous record year when fishermen landed just under 222 million salmon. Southeast Alaska – home to the Tongass National Forest – is a uniquely productive part of the state. Although it comprises a sliver of Alaska – about 5 percent of the land – Southeast Alaska produces nearly one third of the state's overall salmon catch. The Tongass is crisscrossed with more than 17,000 miles of salmon-filled rivers, streams and lakes. The place is literally a giant, forested salmon factory, where salmon fuel the local economy with an estimated $1 billion annual contribution. But the 17-million-acre Tongass needs smarter management from the Forest Service, the lead agency overseeing the country's largest and wildest national forest. In a column published today in the Juneau Empire, Trout Unlimited's Heather Hardcastle, a commercial gillnetter, lays out why Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell should seize the opportunity to invest in Southeast Alaska's blue chip industries – fishing and tourism – rather than continuing to focus on old-growth logging. Read Heather's op-ed here.

Rated 2 out of 5 by BebeSportfanatic from quality control Have always been addicted to these Bebe Sport Ruched Funnel Jackets. I have in literally more than a dozen colors! But this new version with the black zipper (which I love the black zipper as opposed to the silver, BTW) doesn't fit as nicely as the original style. Material is stiffer and it fits too loose. The old style hugs your shape so nicely, very flattering. This one buckles and folds and doesn't really fit. And that's the XS. Please, BEBE SPORT! Go back to the original material/cut/fit as it's light years above this new wave of Ruched Jackets!!! =(

Rated 5 out of 5 by fashionista98 from Sexy Jacket I love this sexy,comfortable, soft, and fitted jacket. If you buy this jacket, you should also buy the matching pants. It's sexy and great looking for the gym, running errands, or having lunch with friends. I would wear this jacket with it's matching pants and blk high heels if I went out for dinner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by EJ2013 from Great material, snug sleek fit The material is great, the sleeves are 3/4 but still perfect for any season. Even when wearing long sleeves underneath the jacket still fits great. The design of the jacket makes you look thinner and reveals an hourglass figure. Great for gym, running errands and even casual days out.....

Rated 5 out of 5 by DQJenny from The New Fabric Makes This Seem Like a Different Jacket The new BBSP fabric is sleek and sexy. Fits great and keeps you cool, not sweaty. If you need workout wear for cold weather, then this may not be for you. If your indoors like me doing Pilates & Barre/Ballet then it's great. I got a large, and it fits like a glove, I'm 5''8' in the one-twenty's and this is fitted, but by no means tight. The ruching is super cute, and I pair it with the jumpsuit, swapping this for the matching color block jacket, got that one as well.
Date published: 2013-02-28
Rated 4 out of 5 by JoyJoy from slight size difference There's a slight size difference as apposed to the ruched jacket with the side arm pocket, this jacket tends to be a bit larger. Otherwise the material is silky soft and very flattering overall!

Babymon will watch a NetMail (previously called NIMS) server and alert you if there are any problems. It does this by authenticating to SMTP, POP, IMAP and ModWeb. A valid username and password are required for this.
This utility is provided as is, with no warranty whatsoever. To the best of my knowledge it performs the task it was written for. If there is a bug or the program does not perform as you would like it to you may send a bug report or a suggestion to me, but I make no promise the issue will be resolved.
Usage: babymon [-t:<> -u:<> -p:<> -a:<> -e:<> -h:<> -d -np -ns -nh -ni -s -l]
If Interval is not set Baby Monitor will run each test once and exit. This is useful if you want to use a crontab entry to control when it is run.
Example crontab entry: 1-60/7 * * * * babymon -u:babymon -p:test -a:MyNIMSServer.com -e:firstname.lastname@example.com -h:smtp.pager.com\n
Changes: - The cygwin DLL is no longer required for running babymon on windows - babymon for netware is now included - The HTTP test now uses a form login so that it can be used on servers that use a Modweb public template. To force babymon to use the old HTTP Auth style the switch "-nf" has been added. This switch must be used for babymon to work with a NIMS 2.x server running the webmail agent. - Support has been added for SSL. When the -s option is added to the command line all communication will be done securely - Three levels of Debug are now avaliable. If the -d switch is not on the command line there will be no output. If it appears once debug output will show you when each test is begun, and the result of each test. If it appears twice detailed information about what the test is doing will be displayed. If it appears three times all network traffic will be displayed.

For example water hydrates you for longer and it fills you up quicker, energy drinks such as gatorade hydrate you very fast but not for long and doesn't fill you up much, so you end up drinking a decent amount of it. They also have quite a bit of unnecessary artificial crap in them :/.
I just use water.

But then drinking more water because the SPAM you just ate made you thirsty will re-hydrate the body, so in a roundabout way you could say that SPAM was at least an aid to re-hydration.

What's wrong with getting it at the brew shop? It's all the same stuff.
My local Coles and K-Mart used to stock the Coopers stuff, but stopped in the last six months. The home brew shop close by has half a kilo for $4, which I think was about that I paid for it at the supermarket.

Bad idea. Since sweat is hypotonic, ingesting salt (i.e. those foods you listed above) will increase salt's concentration in the body. Not something you want. Put it another way, sweating alone, without replenishing anything, increases salt's concentration because the water to salt ratio of sweat is greater than that of plasma (which is why we feel thirsty and need water to get the original balance back). If you ingest salt while its concentration in plasma already on the rise, you'll be in for some trouble.
Minute amounts are fine to facilitate water absorption but deliberately jacking up salt concentration is stupid.

By the way, you can substitute "salt" with "electrolytes", nothing changes. Oh and those numbers are made up of course, only to illustrate the point.

He's been researching hydration status for years. His words are gospel to me.
Recently he created his own commercial electrolyte. I've never heard him say anything that contradicts the latest sports science in relation to his new business venture.
There's been a shift in sports hydration to upping the concentration of electrolytes more closely to sweat. Most sports drinks you buy from supermarkets have about 1/3 to 1/2.
Below is a recent video where Allen discusses hydration and energy intake. There's some gems in it. Listen carefully, several times.
As I've indicated previously, I make my own electrolyte which has the following per litre
sodium 850mg
potassium 170mg
calcium 85mg
magnesium 25mg
You can make this yourself by putting 3 grams (2/3 teaspoon) of the following mix into a litre bottle
Blend the following into a fine powder
sea salt 190 grams (sodium source)
diet rite salt 65 grams (sodium and potassium source)
rennies antacid tablets 30 tablets (calcium and magnesium source)
these three products are commonly available from Coles and Woolies.
These concentrations are similar to endurance sports specific hydration formulas like Nunns, Clif, Shotz, eload.
Allen Lim's product has even more electrolytes.

The above chart is hypothetical in that all sweat losses do not come from plasma, rather, all of the body's water stores. In fact, water is shunted from all tissue into the blood vessels to maintain plasma volume. However, understand clearly this leaves brain, nerve, muscle, and digestive organs severely functionally compromised.
Sweat losses of 1% bodyweight (2% of total body water) see the body in a state of mild dehydration, in which athletic and cognitive function are significantly compromised; athletic function by up to 30%.
Cognitive and physiological state continues to deteriorate rapidly until death which usually happens with water losses of 6% bodyweight (15% total body water).

When I feel like something a little more, I use Procari Sweat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocari_Sweat) in powder-form, adding a little bit to my water - it's common in Asia, where I first found it while swimming competitively.
I'm with you Sandberry. I do a lot of quite serious distances all year round including over the hot Perth summer and mostly all I use is water. Occasionally I will have a drink of unsweetened full-strength squeezed orange juice. Frankly I give more attention to fixing the unpleasant taste that some water bottles give.
There may be something to this. I understand that ingesting sufficient quantities of sports drinks during events to replace all fluid loss is dangerous (as is just water) because it has less electrlyte levels than plasma or inside cells or something. (Causes swelling of cells including those in the brain - nasty.)PawPaw wrote:There's been a shift in sports hydration to upping the concentration of electrolytes more closely to sweat.

Vanilla Bean Pecan Butter from the Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranate Molasses recipe that I made. Perfect! The waffles are also a great way to use leftover pumpkin puree. For those of you who feel that an unused can of opened pumpkin puree goes to waste-- freeze it. Last year, I made my own pumpkin puree-- just to see if it's worth it. I froze 1-cup portions into a ziploc bag, which is a very convenient to way to measure what you need. It just so happens that you need 1 cup of pumpkin puree. A quick thaw in a bowl of water gets you on the way in a snap.
You can order it on-line and I've found it at Whole Foods. I'm going to buy this brand from now on. I have another recipe I'll be sharing, that includes Singing Dog Pure Vanilla Extract and their Vanilla Bean Paste. The lovely folks with this company will let me choose a reader to receive them as well. So, yes, I have another giveaway coming up with my next post.Red Ape Cinnamon™ is sustainably harvested in Indonesia from Cassia Cinnamon trees that are at least 20 years old. The Volatile Oil (V.O.) content is much higher in older trees resulting in a higher quality cinnamon.You will notice that Red Ape Cinnamon™ is a lighter reddish brown color than the darker cinnamon you are accustomed to seeing. Only the pure inner cinnamon bark is ground and the extra outer bark that would normally dilute the final powder is disposed of. It is because of this grinding process that our cinnamon delivers a more intense cinnamon flavor experience.
A printable recipe card is at the end of this post.

I've just turned in a review of The Player's Boy and The Heart to Artemis: A Writer's Memoirs to Rain Taxi for their next issue, but there were a few things I didn't have space to say, and wanted to add here.
The Player's Boy is a historical novel about a theatrical apprentice in England from 1605-1626, and while it's worth reading (and more substantial, I thought, than the first Paris Press reprint of Bryher's work, Visa For Avalon), it's minor in comparison to The Heart to Artemis, which is one of the most compelling memoirs I've read. The notable thing about Heart to Artemis is that it is most interesting in the sections that seem least likely to be interesting -- while the portraits of various notable Modernists are well written, Bryher's insistence on avoiding anything that could be perceived as gossip renders them a bit lifeless and fragmentary, but the first half of the book, which is devoted to her childhood, is extraordinary. Again and again she compares life in the late-Victorian and early-Edwardian eras to life later. Her father was a wealthy industrialist, and she spent most of her childhood traveling throughout Europe, so the experiences she relates are fascinating, and she writes about them in a clear, sharp, matter-of-fact language.
Bryher's style of writing is often aphoristic, but not in an affected way (although her punctuation is often not what we'd consider standard), and I found myself making notes throughout The Heart to Artemis so that I could find passages quickly later. There was far too much for me to quote in my Rain Taxi review, and so here are some passages I hated to leave out:
I am inclined to think now that much of the best writing of late Victorian times went into children's literature. It is a myth to suppose that the nineteenth-century child felt particularly secure, the stories were mostly in the Zola tradition and stressed suffering, poverty and the evils of drink. I had one extraordinary volume largely taken up with an account of a small boy's struggles not to compete with his drunken father in emptying tankards of porter. A Bible teacher saved him, of course. There were also grim accounts of disaster through a father's death leaving the family without funds when dogs and posessessions had to be sold and the children scattered to "poor relations" among harsh and unforgiving aunts. Such a fate was usually ascribed to the indulgence of the parents. They had given the family a pony or a trip to the seaside instead of saving every penny against a possible "rainy day." ... Virtue might be rewarded on the final page but it was a point of honour to endure countless tribulations first. Fortunately, it was the righteous who died. The sinners were left to go on battling against temptation. Death was presented factually and boldly, my mother protested mildly when Ruth gave me Little Dot, or the Grave-digger's Daughter one Christmas but I read it all the same. ... Whenever I hear now of conferences to determine the vocabulary used in books for children and of the care taken not to upset their delicate imaginations, I can understand why they prefer their horror comics to literature. Our age treated us properly. The world was a harsh place and the sooner we learned the difference between good and evil the better. Ludicrous as some of the stories were, they spoke of realities and this was healthy. (14-15)
Each period has its own characteristics and what I feared and hated in the nineteenth century were its irrational conventions. Alas, as I have written elsewhere, to be sensitive to an environment as an artist has to be, is also a disadvantage. The future generation, busy with its own conflicts, will live on our victories and be contemptuous of our defeats. (31)
The classics are for childhood and old age, middle life belongs to contemporary experience. (44)
Nobody ever gets over their first camel. (67)
To write of things was to become part of them. It was to see before the beginning and after the end. I almost screamed against the pain of the moment that from its very intensity could not last. (128)
Our opponents forget that alliterative poetry was the basis of English literature and that the ability to hear and use the slight pause or silence between parts of a line or the portions of a sentence is one of the writer's important tasks. (182)
I have a profound contempt for the writer who speaks of making his work intelligible to the masses, he is not serving them but betraying their trust. Our job is to feel the movement of time as its direction is about to change and there can be no reward but the vision itself. It is natural that we should be both disliked and ignored. (182-183)
Neon lighting has standardized the sky. It is the red of metals whether we are in Knightsbridge or Fifth Avenue. (187)
Perhaps great art is always the flower of some deeply felt rebellion. (199)
I grabbed a book of American poetry, if I were going to be killed it should be while I was reading about the New World. (201)
We reacted against the sadistic denials of the age by a heightened consciousness of nature and of art -- places where our enemies could not reach us. (210)
I do not know if it was due to my Eastern experiences or because I had been spared any furtive allusions in childhood but sex to me then was entirely a matter for science and I grasped immediately that birth control was far more important to women than votes. Nobody had the right to force a woman to have a child, I argued, it must be her choice as a matter of moral principle. (228)
The mistake that we made was that though we owed our survival to rebellion, we did not realise that it was not the concepts themselves but the way that mankind had used them that was false. Our incessant mockery of loyalty, duty and honour deprived the next generation of its proper roots and they did not have our apprenticeship of danger to steady them. Yet remember that nothing was left to us of the codes to which our youth had been sacrificed and that we gave our century a sense of honesty (England went into the second war without illusions) and an inquisitiveness of mind. We swept away some good together with much evil but always with such exuberance tht compared with us the thirties seem a dull and spiritless age. (242-243)
I read some of the magazines of the period over again recently and it is Gertrude [Stein's] work that now seems the most alive. (250)
Perhaps a small hunk of a particular material is given to every artist and the measure of his success or failure is how he uses it. (253)
Suddenly I realised to my horror that it was a vicarage garden party in reverse. These rebels were no more free from the conventions that they had fastened upon themselves than a group of old ladies gossiping over their knitting. (264)
I warned the English privately and also in print [about the Nazis]. They called me a warmonger and jeered at me for my pains. It did not help me when I stood among the ruins of blitzed London to know that my forebodings had come true. I remain ashamed of the majority of my fellow citizens and convinced that apathy is the greatest sin in life. ... Most of us, wherever we live, must share the guilt of having done nothing at all. (326)

Every time I try to update my information by clicking review now it logs off and says connection or internal error.
What could be the problem. Credit sesame does not know. If I click review later then it shows me my report that says updated oct 18 with August credit score of 711
Who knows that may have something to do with it and it just may be where EX hasnt got the update from chase yet ( I think CS pulls EX)... I know mine took a LONG time to update from Aug to now as well I dont think it even updated for SEPT
I just paid for a credit report and score from creditsesame just to see what would happen and it gave me a full new credit report and score.
The score says 718 xpn equivalency model, wonder how far off this score is with a real fico score? Anyone in Pennsylvania checked lately?
Please post the scores if you can it would be nice to see the difference. Thanks again!
So, now two threads about this?
I think you're getting a bit over-excited about a minor technical glitch. If you're really concerned, Quizzle and Credit.com offer Experian FAKOs too.
If I had that I would start by clearing out the cookies and cache out of my computer. There are times I'm stuck seeing a broken page when it works fine on another computer. I'd also try another computer.
If that didn't work, then I'd pull my CR directly from Experian.com or use the freebie at annualcreditreport.com. Most of the time the CSR is wrong and it's worth backing up the existence or non-existence of a FA based on the comments in the full report (not seen elsewhere or via other 3rd-party sources). Even if you didn't place a FA, a creditor can (maybe not legally...I'll reserve that for others). It's a well-known fact, for example, that if you dispute an inquiry, there's a high probablility of an automatically placed FA. Likewise, questioning an account due to potential fruadulent activity (e.g. the bogus e-mail), can remotely result in a FA.
If the computer is OK and 100% for sure there is no FA, then I'd just start bugging them (CS).
Don't correlate CS' score with your EX FICO because you can't. It might be spot on today and 50 points off tomorrow. Different scoring factors and different scoring range.
Hopefully this is the last post for this subject from me. The reason for me contacting creditsesame is, when the website says we have updated your information please click review now or review later, I can stay on this page if I click review later. If I click review now it logs out with a message that says we have encountered a internal or connection problem. Please contact CS to try and resolve the issue. I did and CS said contact Experian and see if I have freeze or fraud alert. I contacted Experian and I don't have either. That's when I posted should I send CS a new email or forget it. Thanks for trying to resolve this mess. I should have only made one post. Learned something here from this.
with a 100% clean report it should be within 10 points of your actual fico, mine was 751 Credit Sesame, Amex Fico was 744 at the time of my last app. Although I did report a higher balance between so I should say it's fairly accurate.
CreditSesame is a big waste of time. Their score is a complete waste of time and very misleading.
Mine was over 50 off when compared with my lender on the same week with the lender's EX FICO. DW's was at 20. One year later, mine was within 20 when compared to a lender's pull of the same EX FICO version. Just add plus or minus 50+ points and you'll get close.

you're right, I'm not sure when the next batch of work that will use BOINC will be, but I would imagine pretty soon. I *think* everything is pretty good with the new versions of GARLI, although I have some indication that our OS X executable might not work on 10.4, so I'm working on that.
Looks like work may come while I am away. Hope someone does some checking while I am gone so folks can grab work to make up ground in this project in the Vault. It is still vaulted right?

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — President Barack Obama signed a bill Monday promising health benefits for Marines and families who were exposed to contaminated water at a North Carolina Marine base for decades.
"I think all Americans feel we have a moral, sacred duty toward our men and women in uniform," Obama said in an Oval Office ceremony before signing the Honoring America's Veterans and Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act.
"They protect our freedom, and it's our obligation to do right by them. This bill takes another important step in fulfilling that commitment."
The bill passed Congress last week with bipartisan support. Health officials believe as many as 1 million people may have been exposed to tainted groundwater at Camp Lejeune from 1957 to 1987.
Jerry Ensminger of Elizabethtown, N.C., was one of those affected and attended Monday's ceremony. He led the fight for information about the water problems at Camp Lejeune since his daughter, Janey, died in 1985 at the age of 9 of a rare form of childhood leukemia.
Other soldiers, who suffered from a rare form of male breast cancer, also said the government spent years trying to hide the problem and the poor response by officials.
"And, sadly, this act alone will not bring back those we've lost, including Jane Ensminger, but it will honor their memory by making a real difference for those who are still suffering," Obama said.
Documents show Marines leaders were slow to respond when tests in the early 1980s show higher than normal levels of contaminates in ground water and the base, likely caused by leaking fuel tanks and an off-base dry cleaner.
The law also bans protesting within 300 feet of military funerals. Numerous states have passed laws restricting protests at funerals after members of the Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas began protesting at the funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Rights: A foreign Culture?
- Articles
I have grown into a fine young man because my basic rights were made available for me to access. Furthermore, my Mum and the rest of my family and society ensured I enjoyed it with responsibility. I must state that I have gone through a lot though- corporal punishment at home and in school, not being able to speak my mind and my views left unconsidered at most times. It made me feel sad. Basically, there are four pillars of Rights of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child; Survival, Protection, Participation and Development.
Understanding these may help live in peace with rights in our society and not see it as western influence or foreign culture as people may think. Traditionally, every parent wants the best for their ward, this is indeed the truth, but how that is ensured- the means, is what must be questioned - Cecil Ato Kwamena Dadzie, 2011.Rights simply ensure individuals welfare and proper development. If you have a right to do or to have something, you are morally or legally entitled to have it. Your rights are the things you are entitled to do or have.
Survival: is the fact of continuing to live or exist in spite of great danger or difficulty. Every parent yearns to see their ward survive, right from day 1 of their birth, usually post and ante-natal care coupled with parental love makes a child's survival possible at a tender stage.
Protection: from diseases, harm and other social evils keeps the child safe, still ensuring better living of the child. Note, to protect someone or something means to prevent them from being harmed or damaged.
Participation: if you participate in an activity, you are involved in it with other people. It is the right if every child to be part of making decisions at the home, school and community in which they live in especially issues that directly concern or affect them. Gone are days when children were seen and not heard, when given the chance to express themselves, they listen to the contribution of others.
Now, on Development- When someone or something develops, or when someone develops something, the person or thing grows or changes over a period of time and usually becomes more advanced or complete. Children develop best when Educated, and brought up in morally and socially upright environment- this automatically develops them spiritually. Interesting- huh? Like a balanced meal, when a child's life is well balanced with the pillars of rights above they grow stronger, smarter and better for their homes, communities and the nation at large in the near future. May I be quick to add that many children who lack these may become a burden or liabilities to society, Agree? I believe in partnering and sharing best practices, I see nothing wrong with replicating values to ensure proper development.
