From the Book of Daniel    99 

    In the angel's explanation to Daniel (Dan 8:19 26), it is revealed that  he 

will be knocked down without a hand.   The  Antichrist will be defeated at 

the end of his reign, not by human power, but by an angel sent by God. 

When the Antichrist tries to make a false ascension to Heaven, to trick 

people further into believing him to be a god, the archangel Michael 

smothers him and throws him down to the ground. 

    Holy Scripture also reveals the reason that so many evils are allowed to 

overtake the Church and the world. It is because of many sins:  when 

iniquities will be increased  (Dan 8:23). 

     I watched because of the voice of the great words which that horn was 

speaking, and I saw that the beast had been destroyed, and its body was 

ruined and had been handed over to be burnt with fire. Likewise, the power 

of the other beasts was taken away, and a limited time of life was appointed 

to them, until one time and another.  I watched, therefore, in the vision of 

the night, and behold, with the clouds of heaven, one like a son of man 

arrived, and he approached all the way to the ancient of days, and they 

presented him before him.   (Dan 7:11 13). 

    After Antichrist is broken and thrown down to the earth (Rev 19:20), his 

kingdom is destroyed and no one takes over his role as leader. But there is a 

space of time, when the wicked have lost their power, but are not yet 

destroyed. This allows time for those who have done much evil to repent of 

their sins. And it allows time for the wicked to be punished by God. 

Amazingly, there will be many people who will repent and be converted, 

despite their many evil deeds. 

    The lengths of time,  until one time and another,  are two relatively short 

time periods. The first begins  A.D. 2437 and  lasts 45 days. It is a space of 

time for repentance before the Return of Christ.  Jesus the true Christ will 

return in  A.D. 2437, after  which there is some more time for repentance. 

Christ returns during the space of time given for repentance because He 

wants to help people to repent by means of His Return and His Presence and 

His teaching. When Christ returns in  A.D. 2437, He teaches the world. 

Notice that, after a space of time for repentance ( until one time ), Christ 

returns, and there is another space of time for repentance ( and another ) so 

that  the repentant  may learn from Christ. Thereafter, the unrepentant are 

punished by God with the Seven Bowls of God's Wrath.  

    Christ does not wait to return until after the entire time for repentance and 

until after the wicked are punished and order is restored to the earth because 

Christ Himself is the One who brings repentance and just punishment and 

order and peace and holiness to the earth. The Seven Bowls of God's Wrath 

take place in A.D. 2438. Then there will be a space of time for cleaning up 

the earth. Then the Millennium of Peace and Holiness occurs.
