Elephantine Papyri PDF Download

In the sacred pages, recorded in bygone ages, the prophet Daniel wrote cryptic passages about a Sanctuary system he had seen in a series of startling visions. We will explore Daniel's prophecies to capture their meaning and to test their accuracy. Various interpretations of Bible prophecy line the shelves of bookstores. Many are spine-tingling thrillers that are the product of a colorful imagination. Our study does not offer popular predictions and entertaining fiction. A solid interpretation of prophecy is founded on the rock of Scripture and is a revelation of what God wants us to understand in our sojourn through life. Seventh-Day Adventists and other earnest seekers have inherited a historical interpretation based on Bible study. Therefore, we will thoroughly test the Adventist interpretation and dates. We will see how the early prophecy pioneers wove together a tapestry of truths, and we will explore how the Adventist author, Ellen G. White, impacted the interpretation. Respectful Christians from every denomination hold different views on prophecy, but everyone should be familiar with the historical perspective. Daniel used a Hebrew calendar to mark his prophecy. Therefore, we must discover how Daniel's calendar measured time in those distant lands thousands of years ago. Amazingly, God buried papyri proof in the dry sands of Egypt to solve this marvelous time mystery. An ancient Hebrew civilization placed double-dated Papyri documents in earthen vessels and buried them on Elephantine Island. Our study provides a treatise on twenty papyrus contracts to establish their dates in absolute time so that we can reconstruct the old Jewish calendar. Our calendar reconstruction helps us to easily discover the timing for Passover, Christ's crucifixion, His timing, the birthdays of the twelve patriarchs, the sign of Jonah, and other biblical events. Bible symbology, historical accounts, ancient artifacts, and astronomical evidence work together to bring Daniel's prophecies to life. Ultimately, however, our prophetic studies must stand on the Sword of Truth, the Holy Writ. Early prophecy pioneers pieced their arguments together like a gifted jeweler arranges gemstones to form a sparkling crown, but their findings differ from the current popular consensus of events. The current consensus does not possess the same luster. Something is out of place. Therefore, we turned our attention to Passover Week in 31 AD to see if Daniel’s prophetic gemstones fit together to form a brilliant arrangement. We focused our monocle scope on the field of evidence, like biblical types and shadows, as though we were looking for the perfect gems. Consider the Bible Passover type. The biblical imperative required that feasters eat the sacrifice and consume all its remains by a smoldering fire during the night. Burning a sacrifice to ashes implies total surrender to the will of God. After the Seder ended, Jesus exclaimed, “… My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death” (Matt. 26:38). On that night, at midnight, with the crushing weight of the world pressing out blood from His pores like the sieve of an olive press, He prayed repeatedly that the cup He was about to drink might pass from Him. Every being in the universal realm possesses the power of choice, and the Lord is no exception. All the hosts of heaven waited to see if He would confirm the covenant vow He had struck with the Father at the foundation of the world. The tempest was fierce. An astonishing gust of agony assailed the Lord with blasting fury, and the “horror of great darkness” and depression smothered Him in that decisive hour. The fate of humanity swayed in the stormy gales. Jesus suffered intense mental anguish. “His visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men” (Is. 52:14). The broad and full Passover moon bore silent witness to the solitary scene. At last, in lonesome resignation, the Lord surrendered to the Father for the third time. The matter was settled. His will was consumed by the fiery flames of affliction into the will of His Father, which closed the Passover. Follow along while we brush away the sands of time to reconstruct the old Hebrew calendar. Discover how Jesus fulfilled those prophecies with precise accuracy.
