“Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was speaking, ‘How long will the vision be, concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot?’
And he said to me, ‘For two thousand three hundred days; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed.'” – Daniel 8:13-14
The year 1844 is referred to as the “Year of Disappointment” because so many Christian adherents expected Jesus to return then. The math of Daniel adds up exactly to the birth of Christ, and extrapolating the same logic the “end times” lands at the year 1844. It is some pretty convincing math.
Daniel 12:4 goes on to state: “But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”
Something did happen in 1844, on May 24th, 1844 Samuel Morse sent the first city-to-city telegraph message. The message was: “What hath God wrought?” This short post will serve as a “what if” sort of thought, not a “thus sayeth the Lord” sort.
What if the beginning of the end-times is heralded by the first electronic communication medium?
Obviously, if that is true then we are living in the end. Other prophesies do seem to point to this, such as the Fig Tree prophecy of Matthew 24. The information age really began in 1844. Isn’t it a bit curious that Daniel is told to “seal up the words of the scroll until the time of the end” with a follow-up about going “here and there to increase knowledge?” What better way to “seal up” this prophecy than to connect two concepts that wouldn’t mean anything to anyone else until May 24th, 1844? The day that humans no longer would need to go “here and there to increase knowledge.”
The information age has caused an unprecedented and drastic change of human lifestyle that couldn’t even have been imagined for the millennia proceeding it. So I find this pretty profound myself. I’ve wrestled for years now to reconcile the progressive ideas that are spawned via globalized group-think with my Christian values as taught by Jesus, all with no success. What’s worse is the ideas of today – ie. abortion, pornography, atheism – are so drastically corrosive to spiritual sensitivity that they render the internet and broadcast cable a demonic weapon of mass destruction.
So my pet theory is this. In 1844 the end-times did begin. 100 years later, the fig tree blossomed, and Jesus could return like a thief any minute now. In the meantime, I will attempt to belay the demonic philosophies conveyed via mass electronic communications with little to nothing to show for it. But it’s all worth it if just you – one person – will read this and realize:
“Look, I am coming soon!” – Revelation 22:7
Not true! I know the end-time. It will happen when the world ends…..simple.
Funny you said that, my ole’ Italian granny used to say: “when you die, that’s the end of the world for you.” So technically the end is near for everyone all of the time, one way or another.
Things really seem to be moving quickly!
This website was… how do I say it? Relevant!!
Finally I have found something that helped me. Many
thanks!

Thank’s great post.
Thanks, this website is very practical
Shiraz, Persia; 22 May 1844: Ali Muhammad Shirazi made the first declaration of His divine knowledge. His followers recognised him as the Báb, (meaning “gate”, as in “gate to the Messiah”) and His legacy survives today among Bahá’ís around the world.
Hello, I do believe your site might be having web browser compatibility issues.
Whenever I take a look at your site in Safari, it looks fine however, when opening
in IE, it’s got some overlapping issues. I just wanted to provide you
with a quick heads up! Apart from that, great site!
Spot on with this write-up, I truly think this website needs much more consideration. I’ll probably be again to read much more, thanks for that info.
Aw, this was a really nice post. In idea I would like to put in writing like this additionally – taking time and actual effort to make a very good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and by no means seem to get something done.
Hi there, just became alert to your blog through Google, and found that it is truly informative.
I’m gonna watch out for brussels. I will appreciate if you continue this
in future. Many people will be benefited from your writing.
Cheers!
Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the web the easiest
thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about worries that
they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined
out the whole thing without having side effect , people could
take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
Great post however I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this subject?
I’d be very thankful if you could elaborate a little bit further.
Appreciate it!
Write more, thats all I actually have to mention. Literally, it
seems like as though you used the video to create
your point. You clearly determine what youre speaking about,
why waste your intelligence on just posting videos for your weblog when you could be giving us something
informative to see?
Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so
I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still
new to the whole thing. Do you have any recommendations for beginner blog writers?
I’d definitely appreciate it.
This is the right site for anyone who really wants to find out about this topic.
You understand a whole lot its almost hard to argue with you (not
that I really would want to…HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a subject which has been discussed for ages.
Great stuff, just great!
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the page layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
Really? You read this article and all you have to say is, “can you redo your page format for spoiled, entitled me?!”
I really hope His coming is soon. These last generations have spoiled and sullied the earth into something unrecognizable. It’s time for another cataclysmic cleansing, such as in the days of Noah.
there are no major prophecies left to be fulfilled before our soon coming savior returns, to end this cesspool of sin that is worldwide
Agreed.
Barber, I don’t see the date of the end of the world mentioned here, are you opposed to interpreting the signs of the times?
Nobody knows the times or the dates.
There is a well known passage in the Bible that says that nobody — not even Yeshua of Nazareth — knows the time or the date when Jesus is expected. But that passage says nothing about the week, month, or year. So there may be a way for someone to make an accurate estimate within 31 days.
However, it is worthwhile noticing that both Yeshua and Paul clearly said that they expected the end to come within a century or less. It clearly didn’t happen. Thus those passages are not to be trusted.
The end of what? The KJV is a bad translation because they translate three different Greek words as world, one means cosmo or world, one is eon or age, the other would be translated as economy or region.
What you are talking about should have been translated as end of the age, which did happen, the jewish age ended in 70ad when Jerusalem and the temple was destroyed by the Romans. This was within the generation that heard Christ. So be careful when you claim passages can’t be trusted, it could your understanding that shouldn’t be trusted.
Also there is a difference between Christ’s final return and a return in judgement, he returned several times to judge the churches listed in Revelation, I don’t think any of them are still active, hence He returned to remove their lampstands.
Between someones opinion and the Bible being wrong, I’ll bet with the Bible every time.
“So be careful when you claim passages can’t be trusted, it could your understanding that shouldn’t be trusted.” – I agree that it’s difficult to pick & choose passages to “trust”. However, I’m curious to hear more, do you believe that Jesus solely refers to the fall of Jerusalem and that today’s “new Jerusalem” does not warn Jesus coming soon?
Interesting take, Paul did appear to spend some time expecting Jesus would return in his lifetime, but I’m not familiar with the assertion that Jesus thought it would happen within 100 years. Though it is true that Jesus didn’t know as he said: “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” – Mark 13:32
