Possible 2300 year prophesy tie in

"The reason behind the foundation of these Masonic orders was that until 1723 all freemasons had to be Christian Trinitarians (believing in the Father, Son and Holy Ghost). In 1723 freemasonry was declared open to all ‘good men and true who were not atheists or irreligious libertines’ so it remained necessary to believe in a Supreme Being but not necessary to be a Christian Trinitarian. Pope Clement XII found this unacceptable and in 1738 published a Papal Bull known as In Eminenti Apostolatus Specular, which excommunicated all those who were either freemasons or assisted them unless they renounced their freemasonry. This was particularly painful in France where both freemasonry and the influence of the Pope were widespread and naturally freemasons looked for a way of pursuing their Masonic interests but avoiding the dire consequences. It was in this atmosphere that it is thought the Knight Templar Order (and most probably the Malta Order) was established."

This was taken from HERE

I usually don't like to speak about prophetic years and such but because of my background as a Jehovah's witness I must have gotten the bug. I find myself looking at the dates closer and closer trying to put the pieces together. I am really not looking to prove anything just can't seem to stop myself. So here I go.

I have been looking for a possible tie in for the 2300 years that was spoken of in Daniel 8:13-14.

I have looked at what some were saying about the year 544 bc and happened to add 2300 solar years to it. This is a mistake I believe for anyone who is looking at prophecy. Days in prophecy are the same as days for anyone else. It has a night and day. The thing that is different from today and back then is how we count a year.

In the bible a prophetical year is only 360 days. Our calendar has 365.25 days which is a solar year.

Ok now translating that. 540-544 bc was around the time that Cyrus was set to prophetically capture Babylon. 2300 prophetic years later we have 1723. 2300 prophetic years are equal to 2267 solar years.

In that year we have what was called the Masonic Constitution (above). This was a change which I think allowed Masonry to infiltrate all corners of religions and institutions everywhere. The history of masonry is steeped in mystery.

In a sense it rides on the back of religion, economics, business, and all places where power seems to reside. Since 1723 it has seemingly been striving to exist at the top of all of these entities and direct the world from there. Especially where the USA comes into it. Everyone knows that freemasonry was heavily involved in the founding of the country. USA has remained the most powerful entity on earth.

Masonry prides itself on having origins from Babylon itself. I have struggled with who Babylon the great represents. I thought at one time that it was Catholicism because most religions have them as their origin although most won't acknowlege it. Monitarily speaking though it is a hard sell. Freemasonry does though have an economic system and those in power that can control it all over the world.

Interestingly Catholicism even has a hard time keeping Masons out of their ranks. Freemasonry can turn up in the oddest of places but always seems to be at the top of the food chain.

In the bible at Daniel 6:4 it describes the first of 4 beasts. This beast was to eventually walk like a man and have the heart of a man. Interestingly the king of Babylon, Nebechadnezzar, also like that ate grass like a beast for 7 years and eventually came around and became like a man again. Today there is one thing that most humans grapple with that is very similar to this. It is Evolution.

Evolution is the study of how man evolved from some sort of beast to walk upright and eventually become a man like we are today. Darwinism eventually developed from this to give us the "survival of the fittest" montra. This creates a system for the elite so that they can continue to opress individuals they feel are less than themselves in good conscience. The history of evolution and Freemasonry is tied together with humanism or nature worship.

I don't know how such an integrated system such as Babylon the Great could be burned and destroyed if it is so interconnected with existing systems. I guess we should be prepared for amazement. How ever it works, all of its works will be revealed in the process of it being destroyed.

If by chance 1723 was the date that the holy place was cleansed, then what occured? Well Adventists now believe that the holy place was heaven. If this is so then the holy place was cleansed at that time. Dan 8:14. This means that Satan was kicked out and thrown to earth at that time. This would coincide with the rise of the pervasive Freemasons.

This is just one of many theories out there of the possibilities of the 2300 days...

I leave the rest up to you...

You may be Christian and not know it

I believe the definition of "Christian" has been defined so specifically over the ages that people have unknowingly eliminated what true Christianity means.

The crusades for instance. Completely unchristian but the history books accept it as Christian. But why is it not? Conversion by force is not Christian. I don't care how you cook it.

Jesus told us that the Law(Mosaic Law and thus the new covenant) hangs on the fact that we "love our neighbor as ourselves". We also know that Jesus taught of a "Way" of living.

Why was this "Way" so different? It was because it was contrary to the system of living that was going on in Jesus day. This "Way" was living to lift your fellow man up and not take advantage. This is the very heart of the Christian "Way". Jesus of course being our ultimate example of this.

Can a person act in a Christian fashion and not know Jesus? Yes indeed. If what they are practicing is in the spirit of "loving your neighbor" unselfishly, then yes that would qualify as Christian.

It doesn't take conversion. It takes a state of mind that will allow us to give of ourselves to another individual to see them do better.

A friend of mine was concerned that this whole "servitude, servant" thing means others will be making decisions for you. No. Actually if you seek to help someone, you actually are being proactive in assistance and not reactive which is the current mode of events for most of the developed world. "A reluctant servant is a waste. But an enthusiastic servant, a blessing."

We are heading into an unprecedented change of circumstances for the whole world. The four horseman of the bible are beginning to ride and it is about due time for some prophesies to be fulfilled. We will need to know of the better "way" to deal with one another on this planet to not repeat our past mistakes. This "way" is described in the bible.

Since the bible is seen as a "holy book", a lot of peoples eyes start to glaze over and think they are being converted. Expand your point of view for a second. You can see practical application of events and responses that really show us a better way to interact with each other on this planet in the bible. It just so happens that it is inspired of God. When you use it and it works, it will confirm in your heart that it is the "Word of God". Don't take my word or anyone else's word for it. Discover it for yourself.

To sum up. Christianity is much bigger than people think it is. It can be in the simple gesture of helping an old lady across the street. Or heading up a racial equality movement. Developing a workers union for better conditions. Helping the girls in your neighborhood deal with teen pregnancy. Bringing attention to inequalities in our justice system for a specific set of individuals. There are many examples across many cultures across many lands where people give of themselves to help others. This is how universal Christianity is.

Some may not have known Jesus. But Jesus knows them.
