Dan 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.

It seems that the "first the physical, then then the spiritual" application holds true in almost any lesson learned and even to certain points in our history. When Johannes Gutenberg unleashed the printing press the very first major project he worked on was printing the Bible. Up to that point Bibles were only in the hands of the clergy, royalty or the extremely wealthy, his invention brought the Bible and other books to those who up to then could not even dream of having their own Bible or really any written word. This one single invention may have been the major catalyst in spurring on the spread of His Word as well as the Renaissance which (in tandem) brought most of the world out of the Dark Ages.

I was thinking about the type/shadow/example this is in regard to the latest avenue to the "knowledge shall be increased" prophecy, the Internet. I am not saying that the Internet is a spiritual thing in and of itself but it is an acceleration in the spread of knowledge, information and communication just like its predecessor the printing press.

In light of the subject Ray presented at the Conference and the accessability of BibleTruths.com to anyone in the world with access to the Internet I thought this might be an interesting topic.

His Peace and Wisdom to you,

Joe

Amen Joe.

Gutenberg may have started it but Google and others are in the process of putting All printed material into digital...think about it some day every book ever written will be available to anyone through out the world through the internet   ;D  ...some day touching a book will seem odd.

I even hear where someone was recording his entire life and saving it on a computer......I do not have time to live my own never mind watch someone elses. There will be thousand of channels on TV some day. If you don'y like your life watch some one elses.

Many of people in the wolrd are already on information overload.  ::)

I however am content with the simplicity and peace I have in Jesus Christ.

This Gospel is not complex...once your eyes and ears are open...although it is mind boggling. God's Mercy and Faithfulness and Love etc are beyound our compehension.

The problem with all of this worldly information is that they will be starving and thirsty for the Truth and they will be looking in all the wrong places.

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 (Daniel 12:4).

A portion of the book of Daniel was not to be understood and was concealed at that particular time of the vision, as it was pertaining to a future event, "the time of the end of the age(s)." Many are now searching, back and forth, through the scriptures; comparing spiritual with spiritual. We are now being given an increase in understanding of the mystery that has been hidden. Some believe this prophesy of "increased knowledge" applies to that of medicine, air travel, computer technology and science. Perhaps so, although, it appears that the primary application in understanding the prophecies of Daniel is in reference to the time of rest and coming of the LORD.

So he came near to where I was standing, and when he came I was frightened and fell on my face; but he said to me, "Son of man, understand that the vision pertains to the time of the end" (Daniel 8:17).

"The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; but keep the vision secret, for it pertains to many days in the future" (Daniel 8:26).

"Those who understand among the people will give understanding to the many; yet, they will fall by sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder for many days" (Daniel 11:33).

"But as for you, go your way to the end; then, you will enter into rest and rise again for your allotted portion at the end of the age." (Daniel 12:13)

Bind up the testimony; seal the law among my disciples. (Isaiah 8:16)

They will not hurt or destroy in all My Holy Mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. (Isaiah 11:9)

On that day the deaf will hear words of a book, and out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see (Isaiah 29:18).

The afflicted also will increase their gladness in the LORD, and the needy of mankind will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 29:19).

And he said to me, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near" (Revelation 22:10).

Behold, "I come quickly"

Come Lord Jesus, come…

I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for keeping the Forum discussions fresh and alive because you consistently bring in topics of discussion surrounding the truths and teachings we are getting via Ray. This certainly creates the opportunity to think about and integrate into our own personal thoughts the lessons, insights and advantages of learning that is available through this Forum.Thank You.

My thoughts on what you open up for discussion ...

Edison and the light bulb. Telephone communications. ATM's EFTPOS (Effective funds transfers at point of sale) Cell Phones, Satelite.....all in the space of 50 years! The cashless society is around the corner I believe as the green blip on the computer screens takes over from the need for literal cash supplanted by credit cards and computer chips.....all in the Plan of God.! If it has happened God knew about it before it happened! HE is SPIRIT.

All our "inventions" and discoveries are the extension of the invisible intelligence of our Creator. He thought of it first. He designed it first and then we discovered it yet still many have NO IDEA of who is God, what is God and why is God invisible. As we "advance" in our so called "civilization" we decline in morality and reach into deeper levels of sickness mentally physically and spiritually. We appear to be entering into deeper dark ages of the soul from where we will emerge from the dark ages of the flesh once the flesh dies and we are "born again"...or BORN period so entering into the Kingdom of God through trials and tribulations. What faith will He find when He returns? Very little as we are reminded through Ray's teachings.

Remember the pendulum thread Joe? Somewhere we talked about this about a year ago?

We need to touch God but He is intangible. We need to see God but He is invisible. We need to know God and here is the blessing....He is knowable. In the quantum leap from literal to spiritual, from carnal to invisible we will one day SEE Him face to face when that drop in the ocean breaks its skin of selfhood and becomes one with the Ocean that is God. We can not even imagine it but Paul knew of this. He spoke of the birth pangs that will come suddenly.

Like Ray said in the conference, it will be like being born and once born only then will we be on the outside of the spiritual womb and then begins the journey to growing up!

Pretty outstanding comprehension! Understanding will be our new eyes of spirit I believe. 8)

Peace to you
