Even though a date may be encoded within a matrix near an encoded or surface text event (etc...), does not mean that they are a matching pair and go hand in hand together. Sometimes dates are found that are somehow associated with a nearby mentioned event (etc...) but not when the main event is to take place. This human interpretation element is unavoidable and sometimes causes updates to our conclusions to be necessary. Every effort has been made to ensure that nothing is mentioned that violates the open text of the Holy Bible, the writings of Ellen G. White (the spirit of prophecy), or contradicts other Bible code matrices that are considered valid. Thank you for your understanding...

[Study Revelation 13 for details of the coming death decree time period.] "Let us read and study the twelfth chapter of Daniel. It is a warning that we shall all need to understand before the time of the end. There are ministers claiming to believe the truth who are not sanctified through the truth. Unless a change comes in their lives, they will say, 'My Lord delayeth His coming.'"-Last Day Events, page 15. [Study Daniel 12 for details (time prophecies) regarding the soon coming of the Lord.] The_Appointed_Time_Rev-E.ppt ©2009-2010; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 3 To Clarify Sequence and Timing "To those who urged from the scripture, 'Of that day and hour knoweth no man,' that men are to know nothing concerning the nearness of the advent, Wolff replied: 'Did our Lord say that the day and hour should never be known? Did he not give us signs of the times, in order that we may know at least the approach of his coming, as one knows the approach of summer by the fig-tree putting forth its leaves? Are we never to know that period, whilst he himself exhorteth not only to read Daniel the prophet but to understand him? And in that very Daniel where it is said that the words were shut up to the time of the end (which was the case in his time), and that ‘many shall run to and fro’ (a Hebrew expression for observing and thinking upon the time), and 'knowledge' (regarding that time) ‘shall be increased.’ Besides this, our Lord does not intend to say by this, that the approach of the time shall not be known, but that the exact ‘day and hour knoweth no man.’ He does say that enough shall be known by the signs of the times, to induce us to prepare for his coming, as Noah prepared the ark.'”-The Great Controversy, page 359 & 360 The_Appointed_Time_Rev-E.ppt ©2009-2010; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 4 To Clarify Sequence and Timing (Cont.) Revelation 16:15 "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame." [Jesus pronounces a blessing on those that are watching for him. He also expresses that if you do not watch for His return, you will be surprised at His coming.] I Thessalonians 5:4-6 "But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober." [We are not to be surprised at Jesus' return. We have been given information that will show us when to expect Him so we are to be alert and pay attention to these matters.] The_Appointed_Time_Rev-E.ppt ©2009-2010; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 5 Daniel 8 Breakdown-Where We Are Headed Daniel 8:8-12 "...toward the four winds of heaven. And out of one of them [arriving out of war and strife from every direction] came forth a little horn [Satan, personating Christ, and his evil angels], which waxed exceeding great [became successful in battles], toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land [conquest moved toward the glorious Holy land/Palestine]. And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host [leaders] of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars [angels, messengers: Revelation 1:16, 20, 12:4, 7-9; Daniel 12:3] to the ground, and stamped upon them [during the shaking, at a time when the angels are working openly with the two witnesses (144,000 and the great multitude), Satan & his evil angels will persuade some of them to the dark side. "Many a star that we have admired for its brilliancy will then go out in darkness."-Testimonies for the Church Volume Five, page 81]. Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host [Satan will attempt to show that he is God], and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down ["Through Spiritualism, Satan appears as a benefactor of the race, healing the diseases of the people, and professing to present a new and more exalted system of religious faith; but at the same time he works as a destroyer. His temptations are leading multitudes to ruin."-The Spirit of Prophecy Volume Four, page 406]. And a host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practiced, and prospered [the evil religious system will be accepted by the entire world]."

A message will soon be given by God's appointment that will swell into a loud cry. Then Daniel will stand in his lot, to give his testimony."-Manuscript Releases Volume Two, page 20 The_Appointed_Time_Rev-E.ppt ©2009-2010; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 12 The Shaking, Then The Loud Cry Ellen White clarifies her own writings by listing the following sources and giving a quick summary. Early Writings, page 270; Testimonies For The Church Volume One, pages 181-183, 186-188; Testimonies For The Church Volume Three, pages 259 & 260: "Laodicean message to cause a shaking, followed by loud cry" -Notebook Leaflets from the Elmshaven Library Volume 1, page 56 [Emphasis added] The_Appointed_Time_Rev-E.ppt ©2009-2010; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 13 Kingdom Given To Those Who Produce The Fruit • What Biblical prophecy gives the kingdom to spiritual Israel? • Mathew 21:43 "Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof." • What assurance do we have that all Biblical prophecies will be fulfilled • Ezekiel 12:25 "For I am the Lord: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord God." • Ezekiel 12:27-28 "Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off. Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord God." The_Appointed_Time_Rev-E.ppt ©2009-2010; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 14 Kingdom Given To Those Who Produce The Fruit (Cont.) • It is amazing that a gap isn't seen because of the 2300-year prophecy in 8:14! • Before the 70 weeks began, God anticipated Israel's failure by giving that 2300-year prophecy. • This in itself shows that Daniel 9:24 would never be completed by Israel of old and a gap was going to occur! • Some expositors say that this is why Daniel fainted; he was shocked that Israel would reject the messiah and time would go on so long.

Fowler Jr., M.D., page 88 ©2009-2010; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 15 Cut Off • The 70 week prophecy relates to that of the sealed (Chazown) vision? • Daniel 9:24 "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon the holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy." • Looking at verse 24, "Seventy weeks are determined (Hebrew, hatak)...": •hatak; a primitive root; properly, to cut off, i.e. (figuratively) to decree:--determine. •only place in the Bible plus ten post-Biblical Jewish sources •nine times "cut-off" one time "to decree" •The meaning of the roots of Hebrew words generally developed from concrete "cut" to abstract "decree." It is not clear that this has taken place by the time of Daniel. •Thus the linguistic evidence-both the root meaning and the dominant usage-favors the meaning of "to cut" here in Daniel 9:24. The seventy weeks are to be cut off from another and it has to be a longer, period of time. That period of time must be the 2300 days/years of Daniel 8!-Source: Pastor Peter Niri, Paradise SDA church Las Vegas, Nevada The_Appointed_Time_Rev-E.ppt ©2009-2010; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 16 Cut Off (Cont.) • Has this prophecy been fulfilled / did God have a pure church long ago?--NO! • Is there a requirement that all of the seventy weeks be consecutive.--NO! •This, man has added and / or assumed. • Has "everlasting righteousness" come in / are we experiencing it now?--NO! • Is there a tie between the 70 week prophecy, during which the Messiah is "cut off" and the "consummation" or second coming of Christ? • Daniel 9:26 & 27 "And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate." The_Appointed_Time_Rev-E.ppt ©2009-2010; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 17 Cut Off (Cont.) • Ellen White knew that the 70th week had not been completed: • "The one week--seven years--ended in A. D. 34. Then by the stoning of Stephen the Jews finally sealed their rejection of the gospel; the disciples who were scattered abroad by persecution 'went everywhere preaching the word' (Acts 8:4); and shortly after, Saul the persecutor was converted, and became Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles."-The Desire of Ages, page 233 (Written in 1898) • The fact that she is clarifying the definition of the week that the messiah is cut off in the middle of, reveals that the week was never completed and the prophecy was not fulfilled. If the prophecy was fulfilled and the 70th week completed, then why does she feel the need to clarify and / define the week that Jesus would be sacrificed. • She never stated that the 70 week prophecy was fulfilled and/or completed.

She describes the mechanism for decoding, and emphasizes the divinity and importance of the information and / or instructions that she relayed from God. "I was instructed that destruction hath gone forth upon cities. The word of the Lord will be fulfilled. Isaiah 29:19-24 was repeated. I dared not move, not knowing where I was. I cried unto the Lord, What does it mean? These representations of destruction were repeated. Where am I? In scenes I have represented that which will be; but warn My people to cease from putting their trust in men who are not obedient to my warnings and who despise My reproof, for the day of the Lord is right upon the world when evidence shall be made sure.

White Reveals That Encoded Information Exists Within The Holy Bible (2nd Example: Habakkuk 2:1-4) Cont. "As early as 1842 the direction given in this prophecy to 'write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it,' had suggested to Charles Fitch the preparation of a prophetic chart to illustrate the visions of Daniel and the Revelation. The publication of this chart was regarded as a fulfillment of the command given by Habakkuk. No one, however, then noticed than an apparent delay in the accomplishment of the vision--a tarrying time--is presented in the same prophecy. After the disappointment, this scripture appeared very significant: 'The vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. . . . The just shall live by his faith.'" -The Great Controversy, page 392 The_Appointed_Time_Rev-E.ppt ©2009-2010; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 32 Ellen G.

"All, all who keep the commandments of God, will enter in through the gates into the city and have right to the tree of life and ever be in the presence of that lovely Jesus whose countenance shines brighter than the sun at noon day. I then saw the word of God pure and unadulterated, and that we must answer for the way we received the truth proclaimed from that word. I saw that it had been a hammer to break the flinty heart in pieces, and a fire to consume the dross and tin, that the heart might be pure and holy. I saw that the Apocrypha [secret information] was the hidden book, and that the wise of these last days should understand it. I saw that the Bible was the standard book, that will judge us at the last day. I saw that heaven would be cheap enough, and that nothing was too dear to sacrifice for Jesus, and that we must give all to enter the kingdom."--Manuscript 4, 1850, (A copy of E. G.

NOTE: Ellen is simply saying that the hidden book IS there when the Bible is looked at from one perspective and IS NOT there when the text of the Bible is looked at from another (the traditional) perspective as evidenced when she held the Bible at a 45° angle. Looking at the Bible from an Equidistant Letter Sequence (ELS) perspective, IS the correct perspective / angle to which Ellen is referring that allows the "wise of these last days" to read and understand the hidden book. We now know, especially at Bell Research Laboratory, that the appointed time is right upon us and that the "interwoven" "hidden book" information with the Biblical prophecies Ellen White spoke of IS the Bible Code.

And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land." • When does this horn come on the scene? • Daniel 8:23 "And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up." The_Appointed_Time_Rev-E.ppt ©2009-2010; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 36 The Little Horn of Daniel 8 is the same as Daniel 7! -Continued• No predecessor comes out of "the four winds of heaven" (Daniel 8:8) • The power arrives during a time of strife and destruction (Daniel 8:8) NOTE: The number four may symbolize the points of the compass; i.e. there is devastation and destruction from every direction. • It is written in Hebrew - Dual / sealed end-time application (Daniel 8:8-9a) • It is related to the glorious land (Daniel 8:9) • It is in the era when Jesus is called "Prince of Host" (Daniel 8:11) • It is at the eth qets - the end of time (Daniel 8:17, 19) • It comes when the tarrying time ends (Daniel 8:19) • It arises when sin reaches its peak (Daniel 8:23) • The papacy (4th beast) will be given power by it (Daniel 8:24) NOTE: Indicated as the "little horn" of the 4th beast is Satan's kingdom. • It comes to its end "without hand" (Daniel 8:25) The_Appointed_Time_Rev-E.ppt Adapted from: The End-Time Secrets of Daniel, Workbook one, Franklin S.

Here is the complement of the book of Daniel. One is a prophecy; the other a revelation. The book that was sealed is not the Revelation, but that portion of the prophecy of Daniel relating to the last days. The angel commanded, 'But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end.' Daniel 12:4."-Acts of the Apostles, page 585 • Daniel 12:9 "And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end." The_Appointed_Time_Rev-E.ppt ©2009-2010; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 41 Sealed Part of Daniel's Vision (Cont.) • Who is the sealed part for? • "These messages were given not for those who uttered the prophecies but for us who are living amid the scenes of their fulfillment."-Manuscript Releases, Volume 32 Observation: If these prophecies in Daniel 8 are for people in the time of the end, then it is logical to conclude that they are about the time of the end. They must therefore have an end time dual application! The_Appointed_Time_Rev-E.ppt ©2009-2010; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 42 Sealed Part of Daniel's Vision (Cont.) • The appointed time is the key • Recall Daniel 8:19 "...at the time appointed [mowed] the end [qets] shall be." • At the appointed time - the end has come. • Does this differ from Habakkuk? • The end [qets] is associated with the appointed time [mowed] as before. • They are all speaking of the same period of time and how it ends!!! That means if we can figure out when the appointed time (mowed) is, we will know when the time of the end (eth qets) is, when the tarrying time ends!

But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty two months. And I will give power unto my two witnesses ["144,000" & "great multitude"], and they shall prophesy [3rd angel's message that swells into the loud cry] a thousand two hundred threescore days, clothed in sackcloth." The_Appointed_Time_Rev-E.ppt ©2009-2010; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 44 Why Study This? (Cont.) • When will the sealed portion be unsealed? • "As the message of Christ's first advent announced the kingdom of His grace, so the message of His second advent announces the kingdom of His glory. And the second message, like the first, is based on the prophecies. The words of the angel to Daniel relating to the last days were to be understood in the time of the end. At that time, 'many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.' 'The wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.' Dan. 12:4, 10."Desire of Ages, page 234 The_Appointed_Time_Rev-E.ppt ©2009-2010; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 45 Why Study This? (Cont.) • E. G. W. comments on Daniel & Revelation: • "A wonderful connection is seen between the universe of heaven and this world. The things revealed to Daniel were afterward complemented by the revelation made to John on the Isle of Patmos. These two books should be carefully studied. Twice Daniel inquired, How long shall it be to the end of time? ...The book of Daniel is unsealed in the revelation to John, and carries us forward to the last scenes of this earth's history...Teach these things."-Testimonies to Ministers, pages 144 & 115 The_Appointed_Time_Rev-E.ppt ©2009-2010; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 46 "30-January-2010... appointed_time" latter_rain appointed_time (skip=7) 30-January-010 shaking The_Appointed_Time_Rev-E.ppt Code By: David Bell NOTE: The wheat is about to be separated from the tares. ©2009-2010; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 47 "30-January-2010... appointed_time" (Cont.) 30-January-010 shaking NOTE: Shaking, skip = -266,140 30-Jan-010, skip = 38,020. 266,140 / 38,020 = 7 The_Appointed_Time_Rev-E.ppt Code By: David Bell NOTE: Since the terms are parallel, there is an intimate relationship between: 30-Jan-2010 & The Shaking.

Looking at the surface / plain text of the Bible that lies just above each of the Hebrew characters, we see that there is a connection with appropriate topics: NOTE: God vowing to His chosen people that He will lead them to the promised land (144K to Heaven). Exodus 3:16 "Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them: The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, hath appeared unto me, saying: I have surely remembered you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt." Exodus 3:17 "And I have said: I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, unto a land flowing with milk and honey." Joshua 4:11 "And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of the LORD passed on, and the priests, before the people." NOTE: Good mixed with bad, wheat still with the tares; suggests that the main part of the shaking will now take place. Judges 2:17 "And yet they hearkened not unto their judges, for they went astray after other gods, and worshipped them; they turned aside quickly out of the way wherein their fathers walked, obeying the commandments of the LORD; they did not so." 1 Samuel 2:12 "Now the sons of Eli were base men; they knew not the LORD." The_Appointed_Time_Rev-E.ppt Code By: David Bell Judges 11:38 "And he said: 'Go.' And he sent her away for two months; and she departed, she and her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains." 1 Samuel 24:12 "Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against thee, though thou layest wait for my soul to take it." ©2009-2010; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved NOTE: The next two months will see changes that people will bewail over.

The exact spelling of the word was found in Strong's concordance (word #04456). In fact; it is very significant that one of it's letters touches down in Habakkuk 2:1! The_Appointed_Time_Rev-E.ppt Code By: David Bell Habakkuk 2:1 "I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will look out to see what He will speak by me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved."

Daniel 8:10 "And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon them." Daniel 8:11 "Yea, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and from him the continual burnt-offering was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down." Daniel 8:12 "And the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt-offering through transgression; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it wrought, and prospered." Daniel 8:13 "Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said unto that certain one who spoke: 'How long shall be the vision concerning the continual burnt-offering, and the transgression that causes appalment, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled under foot?'"

Daniel 8:4 "I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no beasts could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of this hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself." Daniel 8:15 "And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man."

Page 59 The Three and One Half Years-The Connection (All are Literal Days) NOTE: The battle (between God and Satan) causes two distinct storylines to unfold. This is precisely why the three and one half year periods are described several different ways thus eluding to the fact that although these are referring to the same time period, there are four different perspectives to the period. Great Multitude & the 144,000 Spread 3rd Angels Message: Daniel 12:7 "And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished." Revelation 11:3 "And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth." Satan Personates Christ: Revelation 13:5 "And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months." Persecution/Death of Some in the Great Multitude: Daniel 7:25 "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time." Revelation 11:2 "But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months." ©2009-2010; David Douglas Bell, Page 60 All rights reserved Protection of the 144,000: Revelation 12:6 "And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days." Revelation 12:14 "And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent." The_Appointed_Time_Rev-E.ppt Daniel, The Prophet, Predicts Satan and His Evil Angel's Arrival Daniel 8:8-12 "...toward the four winds of heaven. And out of one of them [arriving out of war and strife from every direction] came forth a little horn [Satan, personating Christ, and his evil angels], which waxed exceeding great [became successful in battles], toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land [conquest moved toward the glorious Holy land/Palestine]. And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host [leaders] of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars [angels, messengers: Revelation 1:16, 20, 12:4, 7-9; Daniel 12:3] to the ground, and stamped upon them [during the shaking, at a time when the angels are working openly with the two witnesses (144,000 and the great multitude), Satan & his evil angels will persuade some of them to the dark side. "Many a star that we have admired for its brilliancy will then go out in darkness."-Testimonies for the Church Volume Five, page 81]. Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host [Satan will attempt to show that he is God], and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down ["Through Spiritualism, Satan appears as a benefactor of the race, healing the diseases of the people, and professing to present a new and more exalted system of religious faith; but at the same time he works as a destroyer. His temptations are leading multitudes to ruin."-The Spirit of Prophecy Volume Four, page 406]. And a host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practiced, and prospered [the evil religious system will be accepted by the entire world]."
