2nd Coming Prerequisite - Times of the Gentiles Fulfilled

Often I am asked the question, what are the remaining signs and events that need to happen before the 2nd coming. What a loaded question that is right? As I list them, people seem to explain some of them away as unimportant or easily fulfilled. Then the question is asked, “what is an unmistakable sign of the times that I will know that it happens when it happens that couldn’t have happened any other time and in any other way.” In other words, they don’t want to discuss “earthquakes in diverse places” or “wars and rumors of wars” because those are always happening all of the time around us. They want the know the unmistakable events and how to identify them. Today’s video describes just such an event. An unmistakable sign of the times that must occur prior to the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ. Yet many have never even heard of it and few understands what it means and its significance. The event is when the Times of the Gentiles is Fulfilled. I did a video a couple of years ago but all I did was put out a self-study guide and realize I should probably explain this in a lot more detail.

[@Thehaystack7999]

I had it in my mind that the Jews would not as a whole accept Christ until His coming at the Mount of Olives. And before that we would have the gathering at Adam Ondi Ahmen. Also, recently hundreds of thousands flooded into Israel from Europe this year because of Israel’s citizenship laws for known Jews. Many Jews are converting to Christianity like never before.

[@abeck78]

More than anything, we need to follow the warnings and counsel of our current prophet and apostles. That is where protection will be found. President Nelson stated "Time is running out." That means if we are not currently nourishing and strengthening our testimonies, or haven't quite decided whether we're all in for Christ, we need to decide today. Otherwise, you and I will not be able to withstand the current and near future persecutions and tribulations. President Nelson said without the constant influence of the Holy Ghost, we will not survive spiritually. "Will not," not "May not." We need to take that seriously.

[@joeshawcroft7121]

I agree and that doesn't necessarily mean the second coming is in a year or two. It may mean that if we don't do the work now, we'll be past the point where we really can. Maybe there will be a great sifting, maybe a great event in the church or revealing of secular knowledge that will take people by surprise and they will lose faith with no desire to hang on or stay true to the LDS faith. So much can happen to fulfill President Nelson's promises without it being the actual 2nd coming. I still think there is time before the Savior comes but not much more time to gain a rock solid testimony and have the oil of conversion in our lamps. Just my opinion..

It seems to me President Nelson think things are closer than decades away. Tells us we need to be the people that are prepared for the second coming. Tells us time is running out. Sister Nelson reconfirmed that in her talk with him last month in Alberta saying he doesn’t speak in hyperbole. I love your videos but I tend to think these prophecies are being fulfilled in a way that we might not expect and that, as we heard in last conference, only those with eyes to see and ears to hear will recognize. Perhaps we should be careful not to err like the Jews at His first coming and not recognize the signs or Him. We could be looking beyond the mark if we are not careful.

[@cadenallred967]

We aren’t even sure if we meet Jesus right after death I don’t think but preparation for the second coming is very different than being prepared for death. There are many faith shaking events and trials that precede his return. President Nelson teaches much about our need to prepare

[@Terminatorguy34]

@Caden Allred this is my understanding based upon what I have learned. When we pass away, our Spirits will rise out of our bodies, and our family and loved ones, who have passed on, will be there to great us. Our Spirits will remain by our bodies till our bodies are buried. Then we'll meet with the Savior and have a sort of a "preliminary hearing " like a pre final judgement judgement. Then we will remain in the Spirit World for some time, many years even. During that time we will be learning the Gospel more fully, we will be given opportunities to repent and be forgiven of our sins that we haven't repented of yet. We will be out doing missionary work for our brothers and sisters who hadn't received the Gospel and so forth during their lives. Then when it's finally time for our Final Judgement, we will be resurrected into our now immortal bodies, then we will stand before the Savior for our final judgement.

Maybe we can reverse this, I don't really know. What I do know is that this country is not going to last much longer, unless something changes. To me that says that the second coming is not far off.

Thank you again for another fabulous video! I’m grateful for your almighty preparation and detailed presentation. I know this takes a lot of time. It’s exciting to be living in these times. Each year I feel we’re getting closer and closer, inching towards the “end.” But as you’ve mentioned, there is some heavy stuff that has to happen, though things can move pretty quickly and suddenly! As long as we live faithfully, WHEN the Second Coming happens will not be the important factor.

[@oscarmunoz2405]

I often think of the allegory of the olive tree in the book of Jacob in the Book of Mormon. The servant initially is ready to burn, but the Master is patient with his Vineyard, and with the servant. Towards the end, the servant has a change of heart, and begins to understand the love of the Master over his vineyard. God’s unconditional love for his children is much the same way, always being patient. It’s amazing how people who are members of the church once they are on the ship of Zion at times don’t want to throw a life preserver to those who are drowning in the Sea of sin in any country. Sometimes we are happy that they are like they are living in sin, while we contemptuously think to be better than them. The time of the Gentiles will go on longer than we expect, just saying.

[@IPATH57]

Just an idea I've had while reading/studying the proclamation of the restoration of the fullness of the gospel is that it marks or at least is preparing for the end of the time of the Gentiles. If that document does what it says it does, then yes, the gospel has been proclaimed to the world.

[@margiechism]

This serpent/beast mark ■ really speads the Gospel because it is the experiment, Greek word for temptation, Revelation 3:10.

@@SabrinaD2321 I suppose my question to you is this… Where do you think we are? It is up to every single one of us to have a personal relationship with Christ and the personal revelation of where we are in the process. The timeline itself is irrelevant, because Time doesn’t have the same meaning in the spiritual world, but it does in the three-dimensional physical world. I know where I think we are but since some of that comes from personal revelation that is meant for only myself, I am reluctant to share it with just anyone else because that particular revelation applies to me in my life. I know we are in the last days. Beyond that I can’t pinpoint on a map of time where exactly that is. I know that Christ is returning very soon, but I can’t give you a date or time or an hour. I know that we must all be prepared temporally but also mentally and spiritually, because what is happening now is the type of mental warfare being perpetrated against those of us who are followers of Christ. Preparing with things like food, water, defensive, tools, medical supplies, etc. is necessary, but more important is protecting ourselves mentally and spiritually. The amount of mental illness that I have seen being exhibited by others around me in the world is unbelievable. There are people walking around going crazy a little at a time. Some of them simply snap. I personally am under strain mentally because in my job in customer service, I have to deal with all these people who are also under severe strain. So, rather than worry about the timeline I would worry about your salvation and your mental health. Time is irrelevant when it comes to spiritual matters. God bless you truth.

The religions of Christendom can't do the preaching work Jesus prophesied about at Matt. 24:14 because they do NOT have God's backing. Their message is wrong and their teachings are unscriptural. Evidence shows that the JW's have been actively involved in spreading truths throughout the World in about 240 different lands showing God is definitely backing this work for over 100 years.

[@saspen3]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom brother, and whilst I am still processing much of my own personal study, the signs of the Times of the Gentiles being fulfilled is a particular sign I have been keeping watch for, and have pondered greatly. Particularly around how the "Gentiles" is defined. I am also awaiting the "Jews" acceptance of the Gospel. This stumps me abit, because I feel like "Jews" sometimes is synonymous with House of Israel. So I'm trying to determine in what context this word is being used in every instance of prophecy around the "last days". The other observation is how it appears that Jews are already coming to into a knowledge and acceptance of Christ, in Jerusalem. One for Israel is one such Evanvangelical effort that is pouring resources into gathering Jews, and now Islamic believers, into fellowship with Yeshua of the New Testament. I am wondering if the fulness of the Gospel (the Church) is to be preached to them, will they be baptised into the Church, en masse? Will they come to accept the Book of Mormon? These are specific signs I feel like I'm watching for. Because the theme of the Jews accepting the fulness of the Gospel seems to be a repeating pattern amongst rumors of wars (another sign I am following as well as natural disasters - the intensity of thunder rolls in our country of late, has been an unmistakable sign to me here where they aren't nearly as spectacular. Yet, we've had tornados blow through unusual places, we had a massive earthquake 10+ years ago that we are still trying to rebuild, we've had major flooding which has displaced families and destroyed towns, and inline with the fulness of times of the Gentiles, our little Christian-founded nation is no longer considered "Christian". According to Wikipedia, we are listed as a secular country. The faith of the "Gentile" members of the once traditionally Christian population is now being rejected by their descendants, including my husband and his family being one of them. There is a sense of a rejection of "the traditions of their fathers" that seems quite blatant to me. But this is compounded when I hear of close friend's families leaving the Church who also share the same Northern European heritage, where Christianity came from. English place names that were once representative of a Christian founding are being replaced (rejected?) by a collective native voice pushing for original native lands to be re-established by name. In this event I see two things occurring simultaneously: a rejection of the Christian founding, and a symbolic gathering to "ancestral lands" - a turning back of the clock to re-establish cultural identity that was stripped away through colonialism. Lots of interesting impressions coming through as I ponder what signs are being highlighted for my benefit. Your video has helped tremendously to clarify and re-affirm my own impressions. Like you I also employ a colour code to help me see specific patterns emerging in the scriptures, which is always cool to see that I'm not being led astray in this but that I am being tutored by the Spirit on how to really "search" the scriptures. No judgment here! So I'm really glad you've included a link to your study guide. I'm really looking forward to delving in, thank you for taking the time to compile all your insights and research!

Hi Kevin, thanks for the videos you do-they're great. I haven't seen all of them yet, but most. I was hoping you'd share some insight into my question. Now I know you said in some video a long time ago that you give preferential treatment to scriptures, then prophets words while they were prophet, then maybe to apostles and other church books/manuals or something to that effect when you are studying a topic, but my question is regarding a couple quotes that in my opinion come from good sources. My question stems from the quote at the beginning of the video you used by Pres. Benson in comparison to a quote by another prophet that contradicts Pres. Benson. Here are the 2 quotes: Pres Benson said: "the phrase times of the gentiles refers to that period of time extending from when the Gospel was restored to the world (1830) to when the Gospel will again be preached to the Jews - after the Gentiles have rejected it. BYU Speech April 14, 1981 (he became prophet in 1985) then Pres. Smith said: President Joseph Fielding Smith explained that “the times of the Gentiles commenced shortly after the death of our Redeemer. The Jews soon rejected the Gospel and it was then taken to the Gentiles.(Church History and Modern Revelation, 1:196.) The D&C manual then goes on: "The times of the Gentiles began with Peter’s vision and the baptism of Cornelius (see Acts 10). Paul and the other Apostles then began the great missionary work to the Gentiles, since the Jewish nation, for the most part, had rejected Jesus. As President Smith indicated, the times that the major gospel effort would be with gentile nations continued with the Restoration. The times of the Gentiles will be over, or fulfilled, when the major efforts of gospel teaching begin to focus on the house of Israel: the Lamanites, the Jews, and the ten tribes." Section 45, “Looking Forth for the Great Day of the Lord” (churchofjesuschrist.org) And now for the question(s)-These 2 quotes directly contradict each other, and both in my opinion, come from pretty valid sources as I said, so how can we know when we're studying all these topics what is right and what isn't? And really specifically regarding these 2 quotes, how would you (or did you) conclude which one is correct? Pres Smith's quote is used in the D&C manual, why didn't they use Pres Benson's? If the church is using that in their manuals wouldn't it make sense that that one is correct? I'm not trying to prove you wrong or anything, in fact I'm not even insinuating that you are wrong, and I know you have told us that a lot of what you say is your opinion, but I would love it if you could share your insight on this matter because if it's so confusing to definitively conclude when the times of the Gentiles even began, how can we possibly hope to determine when it was (or will be) fulfilled? thanks!

[@stuartsampson2746]

Perhaps you could consider it like this. President Benson was really emphazing that the heavy part of the work has only really begun since the start of the restoration and the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. What the D&C manual calls the “major gospel effort”. Maybe by highlighting the start of the restoration as a major precursor to the coming of the Great Day of the Lord (the talk’s title) with precise language (the date 1830), he became imprecise, technically. My two cents.

First let me say how much I enjoy your lessons. I would ask if the fact that many people are joining the church in a country other than the one of their heritage, then returning to teach their families and friends. It doesn't need to be official missionaries who teach and convert. There's several countries where the church is meeting in secret. The prophecies don't say we need to have actual ward buildings or temples. So, that said, I do believe that prophecy may have been, or is close to being fulfilled.

I'm sure you mean that appearance of Christ in the time of the Gentiles will be limited to very small groups or individuals. There's been several visits to prophets and others with them. I've read several stories about this in the discourses.

great video and explanation as always. However is not signs that the Times of the Gentiles are being fulfilled not just a matter of missionaries leaving gentile nations but the gentile nations loosing power. Christ says this would occur when he quotes Micah and prophecies that if the Gentiles of This Land reject the Gospel " then my people who are a remnant of Jacob shall be among the gentiles, yea, in the midst of them a Lion among beasts of the Forest..." It seems shortly with title 42 ending on the winter solstice that this looks as though this is coming to pass imo. Thoughts on that?

[@seanmar1738]

Curious. I strongly disagree, but it's an interesting video all the same. I would say that D&C 45 is pretty explicit that the times of the gentiles is already fulfilled, though our difference in opinion seems to have its root in a difference in opinion as to what aspects of this scripture are clear. You seem to think that the gentile rejection of the Gospel is the clear marker of when the times of the gentiles would be fulfilled, but that does not seem so to me. You have defined parameters for what you think that would look like, but I don't see a solid foundation for that expectation. Why would you think that this would necessarily be clear? Similarly, why would you think that this would require the ousting of the missionaries from every country? Instead, when I read through the prophecies, it seemed to me that that the clearest indication of the times of the gentiles being fulfilled would be the gathering of the Jews. The Jews were to remain dispersed until the times of the gentiles were fulfilled. Up until Israel became a country, the gathering of the Jews was an impossibility. Once it was established, it quickly became a reality. I'm not sure why we need to imagine that it has to be something bigger than that. My interpretation would then identify COVID-19 as the desolating sickness, which is a possibility you explicitly reject. Why wouldn't it be the fulfillment of that sign? Normally, when I bring it up, people say it doesn't qualify because it didn't kill enough people. However, the scripture does not say that it will kill so many people that everywhere will be desolate. It simply says that it will be desolate. Strangely enough, the desolation itself was THE most salient aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic; not the death. In hindsight, it would seem absurd if a sickness so bad that the world was desolated through deaths were to happen, followed by a war so bad that it killed so many men that they become rare (as Isaiah describes we are to expect). It's clear that the war is to be the major cause of death, not the disease; and yet the sickness causes desolation. A desolating disease that doesn't desolate through death. So, we have the gathering of the Jews, begun when Israel was established and then 70-ish years later, we have a desolating sickness, right when we would expect it based on the rough timeline given by D&C 45. (Specifically, before a good portion of those alive at the time of the gathering are all dead. He's not suggesting that it's going to be only 5 years, or 200. We should expect them to be old, but not much past their life expectancy. Just looked it up, though it was hardly necessary... 70-something, depending on gender and exact year. The life expectancy was firmly in the 70-somethings when the Jews started gathering to Israel, depending on how you mark the event.) I'm not sure why we would insist on more. Of course, it could be one of those things where the definition is fuzzy enough that it is subject to multiple definitions. (eg. The Millenium, which is a term that we often use exclusively to refer to the 1000 years of peace to follow the second coming, but, based on the book of Revelation, we might reasonably start it at the beginning of the half hour of silence, which would put its beginning well before the 2nd coming, and probably before the establishment of Zion.)

The gospel being preached to all the world can be accomplished simply by virtue of the internet. The gentile moment may be passed indeed…as commentary these days frequently includes phrases such as “the decline of the American empire” etc.

[@Sadliers]

The fulness of the gospel was not restored in 1830. There are two scriptures which specifically point this out. The first is in 1 Nephi 13:34, wherein it says that MUCH of the gospel will be restored through Joseph Smith, not the fulness. The other reference is in D&C 45, which says: “28 And when the times of the Gentiles is come in, a light shall break forth among them that sit in darkness, and it shall be the fulness of my gospel; 29 But they receive it not; for they perceive not the light, and they turn their hearts from me because of the precepts of men. 30 And in that generation shall the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. 31 And there shall be men standing in that generation, that shall not pass until they shall see an overflowing scourge; for a desolating sickness shall cover the land.” If 1830 was the restoration of the fulness then that means there would be MEN standing that would see the overflowing scourge and desolating sickness. Did that occur? No, it did not. Every man of that generation had died without seeing an overflowing scourge and desolating sickness, so we know that the times of the Gentiles had not come in according to verse 28. A careful examination of every reference to the church having the fulness of the gospel was in reference to having the Book of Mormon, and it is the Book of Mormon that contains the fulness of the gospel. But, even at that, the gospel that is set for these days is the fulness of the EVERLASTING gospel. That’s a tad bit higher than the fulness in that it contains the everlasting covenant with it. It is the gospel that is being referenced in this verse: “And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,” (Revelation 14:6) The everlasting gospel is the fulness of the gospel under the New Covenant, but also contains the everlasting covenant for receiving everlasting life. To receive everlasting life is to become translated. This is what the Enoch and his people had, and is why they were translated. We read in Moses 7 that Enoch and his people will meet those in Zion, and that is because those in Zion have become translated as they. That is made possible only through the everlasting gospel which contains the everlasting covenant. What is the everlasting covenant? “Temple marriage!!!” No, that is incorrect. The everlasting covenant is the covenant that one enters into God with in order to be translated. A person does not seek that covenant until they are living by the celestial laws, and if they are living by the celestial laws then they are measuring up to the stature of Jesus Christ. President Nelson has already declared that to be impossible during this life, so it is unreasonable to expect that the church will be the one that will have that covenant revealed to. As Jesus said, new wine gets put into new bottles, thus the everlasting covenant is revealed to the “new bottle” rather than to the church. For reference, the church readily admits that it does NOT know what it takes to become translated. It is acknowledged that it is something yet to be revealed. Well, it has been revealed, and it is to the Kingdom that it had been revealed rather than to the church. This ties back to the original point regarding the times of the Gentiles coming in because that is not had until the fulness of the gospel is had. The fulness of the gospel has been revealed, but it was to the Kingdom rather than to the church. Why? Because the church could not even master the first two steps of the gospel path. This is the gospel path: (1) Love God with all the heart, soul, and mind (Matthew 22:36-40). (2) Learn to recognize the Spirit. (3) Learn to discern the Spirit from false sources and from normal human emotions. (4) Learn to keep the Spirit with you. (5) Repent of all sins as the Spirit reveals them. (6) Be baptized by one with authority. (7) Receive the Holy Ghost just as Jesus did, complete with witnesses seeing the Holy Ghost descend and hearing the Father speak (Luke 3:22). (8) Continue the path at all times (“endure to the end”). (9) Develop a totally positive outlook. (10) Overcome other shortcomings and develop other traits and qualities as dictated by the Holy Ghost. (11) Develop charity. (12) Receive the Second Comforter and everlasting life. The church believed that it is easily surpassing steps 6 and 7, but step 7 is not occurring. Step 7 occurs with the individual just as Jesus had demonstrated (2 Nephi 31:12). Everybody acknowledges that nobody is receiving the Holy Ghost as Jesus showed us would happen, yet most are failing to connect the dots, that it means that it did not happen. Yet members go on to believing that they are celestial bound once they go through the temple ordinances, though they never passed step 7 on the gospel path. That’s further proof that the fulness of the gospel is not had. Now that the fulness of the everlasting gospel has been revealed to the Kingdom, then NOW the light has broken forth president to the prophecy in D&C 45:28. And, EXACTLY as Jesus had prophesied, it is not perceived: “But they receive it not; for they perceive not the light, and they turn their hearts from me because of the precepts of men.” (D&C 45:29) What are the precepts of men? The ideas and teachings of men that came from their own reasoning and logic, rather than from the Spirit. Gotta look to the Spirit for learning, not man! “And again, he that receiveth the word of truth, doth he receive it by the Spirit of truth or some other way? If it be some other way it is not of God.” (D&C 50:19-20) To trust that a man is giving you the correct gospel is to place your trust in flesh, and that’s a no-no! (2 Nephi 4:34). Gotta first learn how to recognize the Spirit then how to discern the Spirit from false sources. Once that is mastered THEN proceed with learning the gospel by the Spirit. That is the only correct path. How many will reject this that was said? Almost all that read it, exactly according to prophecy. And why will they reject it? Because they believe that they already have the correct gospel, though the signs from God are missing.

What about the Secret of Daniel chapter 12 being revealed. Revelation Chapter 12 and The return of Jesus. This has already started Google what happened in the heavens 2017 23rd of September. This is so important. all the below gives us the information to unlock the Secret in Daniel chapter 12, and the 1335-days. revealing were we are with the return of Jesus and the 1 thessalonians chapter 4,16 The life of Jesus Christ and the 1335-days There was a sign in heaven signified that Jesus was about to be born. He was born and 30 years later he presented himself to be baptised. on the first day of baptised he was lead out into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil for forty days and forty nights. at the end of the Forty days and forty nights Angels minister to Jesus Jesus left the wilderness one day. then started his ministry which was 3 and a half years or 42 months or or 1260 days. (At this point it is 666 twice =1332) after his ministry he was put to death for three-and-a-half days this equals 1335-days. 5:17 Jesus said that he came to fulfill the law and the prophets and he did fulfill Daniel chapter 9, which is the equivalent of Daniel chapter 12 which we will fulfill the 1335-days. So we have 30 +1+40+1+1260+31/2=1335-days Daniel Chapter 12 Starts with Michael standing up. the Angel list the time periods, starting with time times a half of time which equals 3 and a half years for 42 months a1260 days. after this the Angel says that that there will be 1290 days this is an extra 30 days to set up the disgusting thing that causes Desolation. it is a secret kept till the time of the end, but now we can work it out in the life of Jesus. working backwards Jesus was put to death for three-and-a-half days we can only count the full days so count three. we know that he spent one day travelling into the wilderness. 40 Days and night being tempted by the devil in his, great tribulation and the disgusting thing the devil. one day leaving the wilderness that is 42 days, this is the missing part of Daniel chapter 12 and the Secret. so in our day day we will spend one day going into the wilderness 40 Days and Nights being tempted one day leaving the wilderness 42 days then 3 days symbolically dead =1335 Revelation 10, the angel with the open scroll the seal having been broken, this is the scroll that Daniel was told to roll up and seal it with wax, you will notice that he gives it to John to eat it, it is sweet honey and yet bitter in his stomach. then chapter 11 is told to prophesied or witness 1260 days the same as Daniel. In chapter 11: 7 of Revelation, says that when they have finished their witnessing the beast that came up out of the Abyss will Conquer and kill them, so this period is the days,of 42 and then the three the half days that they lay dead in the street equalling 13 35 days then Jesus takes them to Heaven to stand on Mount Zion to receive there a lot of reward Revelation Chapter 12, we see Michael standing up the same as Daniel chapter 12 and fighting against the devil and his angels. then chapter 13 starts with someone standing on the sands of the sea. this someone is Michael. and The Sands of the sea, are the seed of Abraham remember the Promise given to Abraham I will multiply your seed as The Sands of the sea. we see that the devil and his Angels waring God's people 42 months or 1260 days( which are the first portion of numbers of the 1335-days) after this there is the image of the Beast that everybody must worship, and receive it Mark. if you don't you can't buy or sell. true Christians can't take that Mark, which today is the ? and paper work to prove it. the setting up of the image comes after 1 260 days, starting with the 30-day setup. then the 42 day's which is the start of great tribulation, after this they're dead three-and-a-half 3 ,1/2 Days, giving us the prophecy of Daniel chapter 12 and the 1335-days. you will notice revelation 14:1 all the faithful are standing on Mount Zion with Jesus Christ and they have his Mark, not the mark of the Beast. now remember Daniel 12:13 Daniel is promised that after the days spoken of by the Angel the 1335, Daniel would stand up for his a lot of reward, so Daniel would rest in death then when the 1335 days started, and came to an end he would stand up for his a lot of reward. so he will be on Mount Zion with Jesus and the rest of the faithful. The magi or wise men described in the bible , how did the magi men know what to look for, that is the star or, the sign in heaven. the prophet Daniel had been over all the wise men of Babylon, and he came to be known as The Man of the true God. so Daniel would have told them what sign to look for in the heavens. I have proof of this in a video if you want to understand. And we know that Herod killed all the babies 2 and under, before the 1335-days count begins to the resurrection of Jesus. So the point is we are so close to the resurrection and Rapture. Finally chapter 13 vs 18 it's about the 666, and understanding how to calculate the number of the beast and the Kings, this also calculates to Daniel's prophecy 1335 the Beast is found in revelation 13:1 seven heads 10 horns and 10 crowns representing 10 Kings. if you go to revelation 17 the 12 you will see that beast and the 10 kings war against Jesus and the faithful, but the faithful are in Babylon the Great and we are told to get out. , if you look at the rest of Chapter 17, it says that the Beast and the kings hate the woman, Babylon the Great. In revelation 18:4 true Christians are told to get out of Babylon the Great. in revelation 18 6 the beast and the kings are told to do double or twice so much, so 666 x 2 = 1332 then the woman who is Babylon the Great are dead completely burned with fire. equalling 1332. This number will mean nothing at all to you or anyone ,( the key is Jesus died on the 1332-days in the first fulfilment) unless you have wisdom or insights. the next verse afterwards chapter 13 is revelation 14:1 which describes all the faithful that come to the end of the days , the 1335-days. they standing on Mount Zion with Jesus. It has already started. Google what happened in the heavens 2017 23rd of September , plus the wise men follow the first sign in heaven which led to the birth of Jesus in the first century which you mention in the bible study, we are so close to it's conclusion, just months away.
