This is completely plagiarized from BeholdtheBeast.com, but this is too important to ignore - we need to do everything we can to get the word out (and wake up the Laodicean church in the process) that we are truly at the end:

MATHEMATICAL PRECISION OF PROPHECY
For nearly thirty years, seventy-nine year old Pastor Ellis Skolfield has written about the central role of Islam in Second Coming prophecy, by studying prophecy within the traditional continuous historic context. Let's look at a couple of "time, times and half a time" problems.

The book of Daniel was sealed until the "time of the end":
Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, [even] to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
God followed this up with a crystal clear statement of fact:
Daniel 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words [are] closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
(link) In one of Daniel's dreams we read:

1. Daniel 10:1 In the third year of Cyrus, king of Persia, a word was revealed to Daniel, who was named Belteshazzar, and the word was true, and for a long time, and he understood the word and he understood it in the vision.
You can Yahoo confirmation of the first year of Cyrus to be 536 BC or the third year of Cyrus to be 533 BC.

Toward the end of this same prophecy we read (from the Tanach):
Daniel 12:7. And I heard the man clad in linen, who was above the waters of the river, and he raised his right hand and his left hand to the heavens, and he swore by the Life of the world, that in the time of [two] times and a half, and when they have ended shattering the strength of the holy people, all these will end. Link to chabad.org (After all, what would Jews know about Hebrew idioms? :-)

2-1/2 "times" = 2500 years - 533 = 1967 The restoration of the Jews to, and end of the Gentile control of, the holy city, Jerusalem. End of the "shattering the strength of the holy people". The "time" = 1000 years will be explained in depth later. Is this a one trick pony?
(link) In another of Daniel's dreams we find:

2. Daniel 7:1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, [and] told the sum of the matters.
You can Yahoo confirmation for the first year of Belshazzar to be 552 BC

Later in this dream we read:
Daniel 7:25 And he will speak words against the Most High, and he will oppress the high holy ones, and he will think to change the times and the law, and they will be delivered into his hand until a time, two times, and half a time.

2500 - 552 = 1948 The restoration of the Jews to the holy land, declaring an independent Israel. End of the Jews being "led away captive", and being scattered among the "wilderness" of the nations.

For this to be a pair of accidents that each span 2500 years would be a stastical absurdity. Blessedly there are many more problems that reinforce them. For open eyes these problems aptly demonstrate that it wasn't until after the dates of 1948 and 1967 had come to pass, and we entered this - Daniel's - "time of the end", that we could understand the solutions to these simple problems both mathematically and textually. What a perfect seal God had Daniel put on this book!

Hi Endtime- did you read this? I've been pacing and praying all day.

Hey Jamie,

THAT'S JUST THE NEWS I NEED TODAY!! I had kind of a bad week at work, and I was getting down about my "new position". Hearing that Syria may be planning something imminent is just the news I need to keep my small career problems in perspective.

As you know I've been thinking that this whole thing might be set off by Syria on the Golan, and since Ahmadinejad has sworn an alliance with Assad, and Russia and China have major nuclear and oil contracts with Iran - this thing could end "like a flood" [Daniel 9:26] Like a FLASH flood.

I think Isaiah 14 might be extremely relevant to our time:

Isaiah 14:
1 But the Lord will have mercy on the descendants of Jacob. He will choose Israel as his special people once again. He will bring them back to settle once again in their own land. And people from many different nations will come and join them there and unite with the people of Israel. 2 The nations of the world will help the Lord’s people to return, and those who come to live in their land will serve them. Those who captured Israel will themselves be captured, and Israel will rule over its enemies

...

24 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has sworn this oath:
“It will all happen as I have planned.It will be as I have decided.25 I will break the Assyrians when they are in Israel;I will trample them on my mountains.My people will no longer be their slaves nor bow down under their heavy loads.26 I have a plan for the whole earth,a hand of judgment upon all the nations.27 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has spoken—who can change his plans?When his hand is raised,who can stop him?” [emphasis mine]

The context of Isaiah 14 is post-1948. And I understand (rightly or wrongly) that the Assyrians were basically from within the current territories of Syria. Is God talking about Assad and Syria attacking Israel in the mountains of Israel, that is the Golan, or the mountains of Bashan? As I understand it, the mountains of Bashan are today's Golan Heights!!!!

And remember Ezekiel 39:

Ezekiel 39:
17 "Son of man, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Call out to every kind of bird and all the wild animals: 'Assemble and come together from all around to the sacrifice I am preparing for you, the great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel. There you will eat flesh and drink blood. 18 You will eat the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of the princes of the earth as if they were rams and lambs, goats and bulls-all of them fattened animals from Bashan.

Hallelujah! Christ is coming potentially VERY soon...that just blows my mind. As Keifer says on that discussion thread: "... pray the Lord will give us discernment and understanding of what we are to do; where we are to position ourselves; and how to pray. AMEN! AMEN! Very exciting!
