<TITLE>10. Par 67-73</TITLE>L-67 It's laying back in that condition. And that only shows that this is just a period of time. Can't you see? God don't have things out of cater. He's just letting it run like that for a little time. And I truly believe that that thing was done, and at this last days is when God is going to reveal these secrets to the church. He hasn't done it before, and the reason He hasn't done it is to keep the church a-watching and praying all the time, not knowing when it was coming. But you remember in Daniel 12 He said, "The wise shall understand in the last--in this last days"? It's been given to him.
The Spirit of wisdom comes into the church to make known to the church by the revelation of the Holy Ghost--bringing the church in and revealing what day that we're living in. Just the same as Gabriel come to--to Daniel, the Holy Spirit comes to the church in the last days to reveal these great, deep, secret things. Do you understand now?

L-69 Now, that would knock out that astronomic year or the Julian year--calendar (See?), the Masonic year, because the world's tilted. We all know that from study in school, and it's out of cater. Therefore they--them stars wouldn't pass in line of the earth at the same time. Therefore, the Roman calendar is wrong too, because you cannot put together the days... There's just many things that I could say right here. That we find out by even nature itself teaches us there's only thirty days exactly in the year.
Now, let's take Revelations where we're going to have to go over here in the days of the two prophets. The Bible said they prophesied one thousand two hundred and threescore days. Now, you take the astronomy calendar, it would sure miss it a long ways from being three and one-half years. And you take the Roman calendar that we have today, it would miss it a long ways. But you take the prophetic calendar, and there's exactly one thousand two hundred and threescore days in thirty days to the month. See?

L-71 We have thirty days in some months, thirty-one in the next, twenty-eight in some. See, we're all messed up. But God don't have it jig, jog, up-and-down, back-and-forth; He hits it exactly the same (Yes, sir.)--exactly the same--thirty days in a month, not thirty-one, then thirty, something else. See? But that was all done in the great economy of God to keep the church watching and praying, being ready, have their garments washed in the Blood of the Lamb. Oh, in this last days He promised... Now, we see where we're living. And remember, the purpose, sole purpose is to do this.

L-72 Now, if there was seven... Look, there's exactly forty-nine days--forty-nine years, rather, in the time of the building of the temple, the seven--or seven prophetic weeks, seven weeks, 'cause there's was seven weeks determined to the temple, to rebuild the temple; and it was built in exactly forty-nine years. Now, we have the meaning of the time of weeks, 'cause if the Bible said, the Angel said it taken seven weeks until the building of the temple... And it was exactly forty-nine years building the temple from--from March the 14th until the--B.C. 538 until the temple was restored again and the streets was restored, exactly forty-nine years. So what do we get? What do we get? For if seven weeks means forty-nine years, then one week equals seven years, and seven times seven's forty-nine just exactly. There you are.

L-73 So now, there's no more guessing about it. We know now that each week meant seven years. Have you got it? Let's say it together: "One week equals seven years." Now, we know we got it. One week equals seven years.
Here we are right here: the first week. [Brother Branham steps to blackboard to illustrate--Ed.] Forty-nine years to the rebuilding of the temple. Now, this top line here represents the Jewish nation as it goes across. This is just time, and when it drops down here, it drops out of the Jewish nation into the Gentile time, then goes up again and catches Israel and goes on.
