1335

As spoken by the mouth of the prophet Daniel, the number 1335 centers around a time of expectancy and tremendous blessing, “Blessed is he that waitheth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty (1335) days”, Daniel 12:12.  Is it any wonder then that we should find the following verses of the New Testament bookmarked at 13:35?

• Matthew 13:35, “That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.”

• Mark 13:35, “Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning.”

• Luke 13:35, “Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see Me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.”   

• John 13:35, “By this all men shall know that ye are My disciples, if ye have LOVE one to another.”

• Acts 13:35, “Wherefore he saith also in another Psalm, Thou shalt not suffer Thine Holy One to see corruption.”

1 Corinthians 15:51-52 says, “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trump shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”  The English word “moment” is found in only three verses of the New Testament (KJV).  Here, the word is not stigme [G4743] as in Luke 4:5, “And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time”, or parautika [G3910] as in 2 Corinthians 4:17, “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory”, but it is atomos [G823], which has been transliterated as a measurement of time because the Greeks believed the atom to be indivisible - that is,  uncuttable, and therefore a represention of the smallest fraction of space, hence "time”.  But what if the word “atomos” was really meant to be translated in it’s literal sense - that is, atomical structure?  

“In atomical structure, at the twinkling of an eye. . .the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed”, that is, our earthen bodies will be transformed (by what can only be described as a type of nuclear fission), into the likeness of Christ’s spiritual body which shined as bright as the noonday sun on the mount of transfiguration!

J Preston Eby writes in Echoes From Eden chapter 6, “. . .the word heart is a Hebrew word picture for the inward soulish nature; the seat of the volition, emotions, and intellect which we might call the “control center” of the inner being. This term, “the heart” is used to describe that area of man’s soul life which determines how he will think, what he will do, and what he will become.” God, speaking through the peophet Ezekiel, said, “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony [spiritually dead] heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh [one that is responsive and alive]”, Ezekiel 36:26. “Ye also, as livley stones, are built up a spiritual house, and holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ”, 1 Peter 2:5.

Therefore Paul said in his letter to the Romans, “For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh, but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”  And again in Romans 12:2, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

You see, the Father has but ONE will. His ONE and perfect will is the same for you, as it is for me. . . “And this is the Father’s will [singular] which has sent Me, that of all which He hath given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day”, John 6:39.  These words spoken by Our Lord Jesus Christ, sound very much like those spoken by the prophet Amos several centuries earlier, “In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches therefof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old”, Amos 9:11. Therefore, the Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 15:55, "For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.  So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, death is swallowed up in victory.  O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?" 

The entire creation is groaning in travail as it eagerly awaits the revealing of the Sons of God.  As a Light shining in a dark place, the gross darkness of this world is giving way to the Blessed and Eternal Sun of Righteousness!  The dawning of this New Day in Christ Jesus is just upon the horizon.  In that Day, corruption must put on incorruption and mortality, immortality. This is what Daniel’s 1335 “days” are all about.  Not the returning of man to the orginal Garden before the fall of Adam, but the blessed entrance of an entirely New Creation into the illustrious Garden that is. . .

“According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world,

that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love. . .”

Ephesians 1:4

“But with the precious blood of Christ, as a lamb without blemish and without spot:

Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world,

but was manifest in these last times for YOU,

Who by Him do believe in God, that raised Him up from the dead,

and gave Him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.”

1 Peter 1:19-21
