Is there a pattern in how God is raising up prophets? One prophet: - Message of Judgement - Linked to Time Prophecy Another prophet: - Same message - Makes it Present Truth - A remnant is drawn out
Enoch “Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." Jude 14, 15
Enoch 21: “Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah.” 27: And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died. Genesis 5
Enoch Methuselah = muwth + shalachMuwth means “to die” Shalach means “to send” Methuselah means “when he dies it will be sent.”
Enoch Genesis 5:25, 27-29Genesis 7:6
Enoch Methuselah became 969 years.Lived 187 years and got Lamec.Lamech lived 182 years and got Noah.“And Noahwassix hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.” - Genesis 7:6187+182+600 = 969 yearsDid God call another prophet to make Enoch's message present truth?
Noah “And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly.” II Peter 2:5 “By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.” Hebrews 11:7

Jeremiah “And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.” Jeremiah 25:11-12
Daniel Daniel 9:1-2Cyrus, king of Persia let his people go.
Daniel What did Daniel then prophecy about?Daniel 9:24-27 Mark 1:1-3,15 John 1:29
Daniel Another prophecy by in Daniel 8:14. “And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.” Daniel 8:14 Did God raise up a prophet in the end of this prophecy?
Only one fulfills this prophecy “The question, What is the sanctuary? is clearly answered in the Scriptures. The term "sanctuary," as used in the Bible, refers, first, to the tabernacle built by Moses, as a pattern of heavenly things; and, secondly, to the "true tabernacle" in heaven, to which the earthly sanctuary pointed. At the death of Christ the typical service ended. The "true tabernacle" in heaven is the sanctuary of the new covenant. And as the prophecy of Daniel 8:14 is fulfilled in this dispensation, the sanctuary to which it refers must be the sanctuary of the new covenant. At the termination of the 2300 days, in 1844, there had been no sanctuary on earth for many centuries. Thus the prophecy, "Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed," unquestionably points to the sanctuary in heaven.” {GC 417.1}
