Today, we sadly use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from
the 1500’s.
The date is August 13, 2022 (in the 21 Century)
August -- Augustus Caesar's month
Latin Augustus "Augustus"
Latin Augustus mensis "month of Augustus"
Latin sextilis mensis "sixth month"
Sextilis had 30 days, until Numa when it had 29 days, until Julius when it became 31 days
long.
Augustus Caesar clarified and completed the calendar reform of Julius
Caesar. In the process, he also renamed this month after himself.
The God of Israel has His own Calendar:
We are now in the 5th month of God which has no scriptural name, day 14

חַיַּ֣ת
(Exod. 23:11)
Dan.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.

Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four
winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
[3]
And four great beasts came up from the sea,
diverse one from another.
[4] The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the
wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand
upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
[5]
And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had
three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto
it, Arise, devour much flesh.
[6]
After this I beheld, and lo another (beast), like a leopard, which had upon the back of it
four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to
it.
[7]
After this I saw in the night visions,
and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and
strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in
pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from
all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
[8] I considered the horns,
and, behold, there came up among them another
little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by
the roots: and, behold, in this horn
were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
[9] I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of
days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like
the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame and his wheels as burning
fire.
[10] A fiery stream issued and
came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten
thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the
books were opened.
Back to the horn
[11]
I beheld then because of the voice of the
great words which the horn spoke:
I beheld even
till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
[12]
As concerning the rest of the beasts,
they had their dominion taken away:
yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
[13]
I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven,
and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.[14] And there was given him dominion,
and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve
him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and
his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
[15]
I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
[16] I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the
truth of all this.
So he told me, and made me know the
interpretation of the things.
[17]
These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out
of the earth.
[18] But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and
possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.
Back to the horn
[19]
Then I would know the truth of the
fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful,
whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in
pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
[20] And of the ten horns
that were in his head, and of the other
which came up, and before whom three fell; even
of that
horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke very
great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
[21]
I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
[22] Until the
Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High;
and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
[23]
Thus he said, The fourth beast shall
be the fourth kingdom upon earth,
which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and
shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
[24]
And the ten horns out of this
kingdom are ten kings that shall
arise: and another shall rise after
them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
Back to the horn
[25]
And he (horn, King, ruler) shall speak great words against the most High,
and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and
laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. 3 ½ years
[26]
But the judgment shall sit, and they
shall take away his dominion, to
consume and to destroy it unto the end.
[27] And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom
under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most
High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve
and obey him.
[28]
Hitherto is the end of the matter.
As for me
Daniel, my cogitations (thoughts) much troubled me, and my countenance changed
in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
Dan.8
[1]
In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which
appeared unto me at the first.
[2]
And I saw in a vision; and it came
to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the
province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.
[3] Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before
the river a ram which had two horns:
(the kings of Media and Persia.) and
the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came
up last.
[4]
I saw the ram pushing westward, and
northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was
there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will,
and became great.
[5]
And as I was considering, behold, an he
goat (king of Grecia )came from
the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his
eyes.
[6] And he, the goat came to the ram that had two horns, which I had there seen standing before
the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
[7] And I saw him the goat
come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote
the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand
before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there
was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
[8]
Therefore the he goat waxed very great:
and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
[9]
And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding
great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.
[10] And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down
some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
[11] Yea, he, a little horn
magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily
sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
[12] And an host was given
him against
the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression,
and it cast down the truth to the ground;
and it practiced, and prospered.
[13]
Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint
which spoke,
How long shall be the
vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to
give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
[14]
And he said unto me, Unto two thousand
and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. ?? 2300
days – 6.3 years
[15]
And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold,
there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
[16]
And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the
vision.
[17]
So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my
face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man:
for at the time of the end
shall be the vision.
[18]
Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the
ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.
[19]
And he said, Behold, I will make you know what
shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the
end shall be.
[20]
The ram which you saw having two horns
are the kings of Media and Persia.
[21]
And the rough goat is the king of Grecia:
and the great horn that is between his
eyes is the first king.
[22]
Now that being broken, whereas four
stood up for it, four kingdoms shall
stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
[23]
And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the
full, a king / ruler of fierce
countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.[24]
And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy
wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and
the holy people.
[25] And through his, the king /
ruler policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall
magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many:
he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
[26]
And the vision of the evening and the
morning which was told is true: wherefore shut you up the vision;
for it shall be for many
days.
[27]
And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and
did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none
understood it.
Dan. 9
[21] Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer,
even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being
caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
[22] And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am
now come forth to give you skill and understanding.
[23] At the beginning of your
supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to show you; for you
are greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
The whole story in a nutshell:
[24] Seventy
weeks (490 years) are determined
upon your people and upon your holy city, to finish the transgression, and to
make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in
everlasting righteousness, and to seal
up the vision and prophecy, and
to anoint the most Holy.
[25] Know therefore and understand, that
from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto
the Messiah the Prince shall be seven
weeks, (49 years) - and threescore
and two weeks: weeks (434 + 49 = 483 years) the street shall be built again, and the wall,
even in troublous times.
[26] And after threescore and two weeks (434
years) shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself:
and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the
sanctuary;
and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and
unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
From 483 - The last week (7 years) brings us up to verse [24] seventy weeks 483 + 7 = 490 years
[27] And he shall confirm the covenant
with many for one week (7 years): and in
the midst of the week (3 ½ years) he
shall cause the sacrifice and the
oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it
desolate,
even until the consummation, and that determined
shall be poured upon the desolate.

[3] And a mighty
king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to
his will.
[4] And when he shall stand up,
his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of
heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled:
for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.
[5] And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong
above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.
[6] And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the
north to make an agreement:
but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he
stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and
he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times.
[7] But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall
come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north,
and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:
[8] And shall also carry
captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious
vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more
years than the king of the north.
[9] So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.
[10] But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great
forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then
shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress.
[11] And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with
him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a
great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand.
[12] And when he
hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be
lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be
strengthened by it.
[13] For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the
former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with
much riches.
[14] And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of your people shall exalt themselves to
establish the vision; but they shall fall.
[15] So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities:
and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither
shall there be any strength to withstand.
[16] But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before
him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be
consumed.
[17] He shall also
set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones
with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women,
corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.
[18] After this
shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for
his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his
own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him.
[19] Then he shall turn his face
toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be
found.
[20] Then shall stand up in his
estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he
shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
[21] And in his estate shall stand up a “vile person”, to whom they shall not give
the honor of the kingdom:
but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by
flatteries.
[22] And with the
arms of a flood shall they be over flown from before him, and shall be broken;
yea, also the prince of the covenant.
[23] And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small
people.
[24] He, “vile person”, shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places
of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his
fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches:
yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a
time.
[25] And he, a “vile person”, shall stir up his power
and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army;
but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.
[26] Yea, they that feed of the
portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many
shall fall down slain.
[27] And both
these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper:
for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.
[28] Then shall he
return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be
against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.
[29] At the time appointed he
shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or
as the latter.
[30] For the ships of Chittim
shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have
intelligence with them that forsake the holy
covenant.
[31] And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of
strength,
and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination
that makes desolate.
[32] And such as do
wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries:
but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do
exploits.
[33] And they that understand
among the people shall instruct many:
yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and
by spoil, many days.
[34] Now when they
shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to
them with flatteries.
[35] And some of
them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them
white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
[36] And the king - “the vile person”? shall
do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself,
and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous
things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be
accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
[37] Neither shall he regard the God of
his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
[38] But in his
estate shall he honor the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not
shall he honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant
things.
[39] Thus shall he
do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and
increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall
divide the land for gain.
[40] And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with
horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall
overflow and pass over.
[41] He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be
overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and
the chief of the children of Ammon.
[42] He shall stretch forth his
hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
[43] But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of
silver, and over
all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be
at his steps.
[44] But tidings
out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go
forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.
[45] And he, “a vile
person”? shall plant the tabernacles of his
palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain;
yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
The end of the Beast
[1] And I stood upon the sand of the sea,
and saw a beast rise up out of the
sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon
his heads the name of blasphemy.
[2] And the beast which I saw
was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth
as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and
great authority.
[3] And I saw one
of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and
all the world wondered after the beast.
[4] And they worshipped the dragon which
gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like
unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
[5] And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto
him to continue forty and two months. 42
month = 3 ½ years
Dan. 7 [25] And he (horn, King, ruler)
shall speak great words against the
most High
[6] And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his
name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
[7] And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to
overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and
nations.
[8] And all that dwell upon the
earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the
Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
[9] If any man have an ear, let him hear.
[10] He that leads into captivity shall
go into captivity: he that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword.
Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
False Prophet
[11] And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like
a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.
[12] And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes
the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly
wound was healed.
[13] And he doeth great wonders, so that
he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
[14] And deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those
miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them
that dwell on the earth, that they
should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did
live.
[15] And
he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the
beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image
of the beast should be killed.
[16] And he causes
all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in
their right hand, or in their foreheads:
[17] And that no man might buy
or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of
his name.
[18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath
understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and
his number is Six hundred threescore and
six.
