Brother Pippenger,
When speaking about Christ illustrating the end from the beginning what biblical stories illustrate this fact? I am familiar with the story of Jerusalem of ancient time restored on the 3rd decree and then Jerusalem of modern time restored on the 3rd message. Are there other illustrations similar to this one, if so where? We have a small women’s Bible study group and will be going over this topic on Tuesday night. Thank you in advance for your time and the blessing your studies have been to me. I especially enjoy using the prophetic keys as a Bible study outline. BP.

Sister BP,
Several come to mind:
The historical event that marks the beginning of the twelve hundred and sixty years of papal supremacy began when the ruler of the Goths was driven from the city of Rome in 538 and it ended when the pope was taken from Rome in 1798.
The 391 year 15 day prophecy of Revelation 9:14, 15 began when the last Emperor of Eastern Rome surrendered his national sovereignty to the four great Ottoman sultans and it ended when the last sultan of the Ottoman Empire surrendered his national sovereignty to the four great European powers.
The 1290 and the 1335 year prophecies of Daniel twelve began in 508 when the work of preparation necessary to place the papacy on the throne of the earth began. It is marked by the submission of the Visigoths, which was brought about by the military conquests of Clovis a French king. This was fulfilled in 508, and 508 also marked the change of satanic dispensations from paganism (it was then taken away) to papalism (it then started to be set up).
The 1290 begins in 508 with a military victory by a French king and it ends in 1798 with a military victory by a French king. The 1335 begins in 508 with a change of satanic dispensations (paganism to papalism) and it ended in 1843 with a change of satanic dispensations (papalism to the false prophet).
The 2520 prophecy against the southern kingdom of Judah began with the breaking of the covenant and ended in 1844 with the restoration of the covenant.
The 2520 prophecy against the northern kingdom of Israel began with the king of Israel (king of the north) being taken into captivity and it ended with the pope (king of the north) being taken into captivity.
The 2300 years began on the 3rd decree and ended on the 3rd message.
The book of Daniel opens with the war between literal Babylon and literal Israel (Babylon being the victor) and it ends with the battle between spiritual Babylon and spiritual Israel (Israel being the victor).
The Bible opens with the creation of the world and it ends with the recreation of the earth made new.. Jeff.
