The idea is that Michael takes a stand for the purpose of defending and delivering His people imo.

That is obvious when all of the added words by the translators are accepted as if they are really in the text.

The additional words are used to give the meaning in our language that are intended but unnecessary in the original language. So before a person rejects the words supplied by the translators he ought to have some proficiency in the original or some clear justification for rejecting words supplied by those who are fluent. One less reliable way of checking supplied words for those who have no knowledge of Hebrew and Greek is to look at a literal translation. I looked at two of these, Young's and the LITV and both agree with the KJV, ASV, RV, Websters, ISV, ESV, JPS and MKJV.

Charity, that sounds like good advice.

Rejecting is a strong word. Consider the alternatives is a better choice.

Consider Daniel 8:12 in the versions that you checked. Then consider Ellen Whites comment on that verse.























The word Sacrifice does not belong to the text. Many of the versions you checked put it into the text. Some note that it is an added word while others do not. And others on your list replace sacrifice with burnt offering or some other words that do not belong in the text.

Faulty reasoning, as shown in this example, allows a traditional understanding of the translators to be written into a text: Something that does not belong there.

Turning to Daniel 12:1 This is what Daniel wrote

time <06256> Michael <04317> take one’s stand <05975> (8799), great <01419> prince <08269> take one’s stand <05975> (8802) son <01121> people <05971>: brought about <01961> (8738) time <06256> trouble <06869> nation <01471> time <06256>: time <06256> people <05971> to be delivered <04422> (8735) to be found <04672> (8737) written <03789> (8803) book <05612>.

With the numbers removed...This is what Daniel wrote:



Many Bible translators read it like the KJV with all those added words that ate not in the text.

Daniel does not say stand for his people their people or our people. Though the KJV rendition might be correct from one perspective, that is no reason to assume that this text cannot be read differently.

From the words that Daniel actually wrote in conjunction with my study of Daniel and Revelation, I believe that this is the warning that we all need to consider:

Excellent quote. I'll do my diligence to take it to heart. About your interpretation of Daniel 12:1, your view doesn't detract from what we know is true. It could actually be helpful.

About Notre Dame, did you notice it burned on the 10th of the first Hebrew month, the day the lamb is examined and set aside and the day Christ cleansed the temple, the day Israel's conquest of Canaan began? Given that, I'd say let's stay tuned this weekend and in the coming weeks. You may remember that in October 2018 David Gates predicted a spring of trouble this year. The burning of Notre Dame, like the flooding of the Midwest which was classed as the greatest agricultural disaster in American history, is a harbinger of what's in store for for the church, for France, for the USA, and for the world. God in love is trying to get our attention off of the world, to wean us from our own selfish ambitions and help us prepare for the return of Christ.

That was an interesting quote by Ellen White on Daniel 8:12 but you only quoted a portion of that quote.

Here is the whole quote:

Thank you for giving the rest of the quote. It is extremely difficult to sweep away the trash that has entered into the Church since 1844 and to restore a right understanding.

That does make sense!
The idea is that Michael takes a stand for the purpose of defending and delivering His people.
And I do believe that signals the close of probation.

Daniel 11:40-45 outlines the rise of this last power. There may well be physical battles that enable the rise of this "king of the north" which I believe has morphed into the same confederacy we see in Revelation 17. The beast controlled by religious (Papal and apostate protestant) power. Probation is still open during the "rising" period.

43 But he (this last great power, king of the North) shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: (economic control, regulating buying and selling, no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark,) the Libyans and the Ethiopians at his steps.(nations will join with him)

11:44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. (He will cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. )

11:45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
12:1 For Michael holds his ground, when this mighty ruler takes his stand against the children of thy people. He will bring about a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: then thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

Rev. 7:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him [are] called, and chosen, and faithful.
