The beast is destroyed by the brightness of Christ's coming and the Spirit of His mouth according to 2nd Thess. 2. In Daniel 11:45 when the beast comes to his end is when Christ returns. Chapter 12 verse1 of Daniel shows that "at that time thy people shall be delivered". AFTER enduring the 1,290 days of the beast. Many think that they will be taken before the beast declares himself to be God. Obviously this is not so once you examine verse 31 of Daniel 11 where the daily sacrifice is taken away and the abomination that maketh desolate set up. This ABOMINATION is when the beast goes into the Holy place and declares he is God (notice Jesus does not say "Temple" in Matt 24 , so it is HIGHLY possible this could be the Dome of the Rock, even though as Christians we may not regard this as a Holy place). Notice AFTER this in verses 32,33,34 and 35. God's people are obviously here. In Daniel 12:11 we see that there shall be 1,290 days from the abomination which maketh desolate until the destruction of the beast and Christ's return. People say, "no man knoweth the hour or the day" out of context. No man knoweth the hour or the day BETWEEN the 1,290th and 1,335th day. A 45 day span. The Angels will be sent to gather the elect during this entire 45 day span. No place in the Bible does it say that this will be done in one day as all have come to assume. They link Jesus coming and their gathering by the Angels as one in the same but it is not correct. You may argue that it says this but it can not be validated as exact. Right here we have validation as to EXACT days. It can not be argued that Christ's LIGHT will not shine over the earth and the beast destroyed on the 1,290th day. This is EXACTLY what is going to happen. This is what people have missed. What will we be waiting for otherwise on the 1,290th day? ...Santa Claus? ...Give me a break! No man knoweth the hour or day they will be GATHERED by the Angels BETWEEN the 1,290th day and the 1,335th day. So much for the misleading description of "rapture", which is not Biblical whatsoever and tends to give the perception of a one-day event. It will be a 45 day event, as shown here in Daniel 12. We therefore know the exact day we will see Jesus light shine over the earth and the beast destroyed. This can mean nothing else. If so, present it. Truth is what should prevail.
