Abstract
Television shows and movies about time travel fascinate many people and often
generate questions such as whether time travel is possible and, has it actually
occurred. Here a search for ‘evidence of time travel back to the past’ in historical
records in the era prior to the internet age was undertaken. The objective s were to
construct a basis of analysis, locate ancient texts within the search criterion, then
examine those selected ancient texts for the presence of time travellers and/or
associated prescient content. The aim was to answer the question “do ancient texts
document time travellers from the future?” For a result to be validated as positive, an
ancient text had to relate that a person from the future was physically present and he
described specific future events that can now be verified from contemporary history
books. Several texts were found that do in fact document time travellers from the
future and contain associated prescient content. A named human time traveller was
also identified. These positive results reveal that time travel back to the past has
taken place. This new knowledge will ind uce a whole new sphere of study and
precipitate a change in thinking both in the scientific and religious worlds.

Searching Ancient Texts for Evidence of Time Travellers - preprint Draft
1. Introduction
With television shows such as Dr Who[1], Primeval[2] and Quantum Leap[3] and big screen
movies like the Back to the Future series[4] presenting us with the idea of time travel, the
specific question of ‘whether time travel back to the past has actually occurred’ is sometimes
asked by the general public, and by some scientists[5]. Opinions vary widely on whether it could
actually be done. Some people say ‘no’, some say ‘yes’, while others say ‘yes, but only to the
future’[6].
A 2013 paper by Nemiroff and Wilson pertaining to ‘the search for evidence of time travel on
the internet during the period January 2006 to December 2013 regarding time travellers from the
future’ gave a negative result.[7] But that outcome is only valid for the cited period of their
research project. In contrast, this study investigates ‘evidence of time travel back to the past’ in
ancient texts prior to 2006 from about 1230 BCE.
This paper is searching for potential descriptions in ancient texts that reflect documented
accounts of physical encounters with time travellers who may have travelled back in time and
told an ancient person specific historical events of the future. To generate a positive result,
certain ‘ancient descriptions pertaining to future events’, as recorded in a past time by an ancient
scribe, have to exactly match to actua l historically recorded and documented events. Any such
information reported herein will be called ‘prescient content ’.
Section 2 of this work formulates a listing of attributes that will be employed to seek out ancient
texts that may document time travellers and prescient content. Section 3 identifies any named
time travellers found in the past. Section 4 lists a concise search criterion. Section 5 conducts the
investigation for any such ancient texts that match the search criterion. Section 6 examines those
selected texts for recorded accounts of physical time travellers and prescient content. Section 7
consults history books and section 8 presents the results. Section 9 discusses the findings and
conclusions are given in Section 10.
While a negative result may affirm many scientific opinions that say time travel back to the past
is not possible, it will not conclusively disprove the concept of time travel. A positive result on
the other hand will be of great significance, as it will challenge scientific understanding, and will
(as certain texts used in this study are deemed sacred) confront religious beliefs that have been
held for many thousands of years. As at June 2014 no peer reviewed paper has been published
that conclusively confirms evidence of time travel back to the past.
102 Introduction
To answer the question “do ancient texts document human time travellers from the future?” a
series of succinct parameters needed to be devised. To hone in on this criterion more questions
were constructed.
How would we know if human time travellers have actually physically visited the past?
Possible answers included:

1. A snapshot of a ‘modern’ person in an old photograph or video could be proof.
2. A picture, drawing, depiction or description of ‘modern’ technology in ancient texts may be
more convincing.
3. Someone in the past would have to have documented their personal encounter with someone
who said they were from the future, and we would now have to have access to their written
account of their encounter.
4. That ancient person would have to include in his report of someone from the future, a series
of descriptions of future events (told to him by that future someone), that can now be
verified in our contemporary history books.
What would be proof?

Associated with a datable ancient personal original firsthand account that documented (at that
ancient time) an encounter with someone from the future, a description of ‘future’ events [told
to that ancient person, as recorded in his own account] that exactly match to a series of events as
documented in modern history books - would be proof that the ancient writer had access to
‘future knowledge’ told to him, by a time traveller who was himself from the future.
This type of comprehensive account, recorded in an ancient text, would be evidence of time
travel back to the past - and would conclusively answer the question “do ancient texts document
time travellers from the future?” in the positive.
Notes
Hereafter the term “visitor” will apply to a ‘time traveller’.
The sacred text known as “The Bible ” consists of two parts, the Old Testament and the New
Testament. Each part contains many separate ‘books’. In this study in reference to The Bible,
the term “ancient text” refers to each individual ‘book’ therein, and not to whole ‘Bible’ as such.
So instead of having one text to study called The Bible, there is a selection of between 66 or 81
ancient texts from which to choose[8] (depending on which Christian denomination’s Bible is
utilized).
‘Prescient content’ refers to, descriptions of future events in ancient texts and, descriptions of
future technology in ancient manuscripts or in other ancient works.
103 Constructing a Search Criterion

Regarding listed items 3 and 4 from the above opening question, each was developed and results
are presented in parts A and C of this chapter respectively.
Item 2’s concept of finding modern technological objects described and/or depicted in ancient
texts will be the subject of a subsequent investigation with results to be presented in a separate
paper. (October 2014 Paper - Searching Ancient Texts for Evidence of Computer Technology)
Regarding listed item 1 “A snapshot of a ‘modern’ person in an old photograph or video”, it was
soon realized that this avenue of research had two major negative issues:
a) the ability to take pictures and permanently record them is a recent technology.[9]
eg Daguerreotype and calotype photographic methods came about in 1839 and 1840
respectively;[10]
b) the ability to alter pictures using Photoshop[11] (for example) makes identifying possible
time travel encounters extremely speculative.[12]
Due to the recent nature of this type of “evidence” and the ability to alter pictures that are placed
on the internet[13], this avenue of investigation as part of this study was not persued.
2. Part A Seeking Time Travellers in the Past
Who in the past saw a special visitor?

Anyone can make a claim, but this study only recognizes a known named historical person (who
had personally written a report of his encounter).
He would have to have also stated that the visitor was “human”.
What ?
The ancient text has to be a firsthand account (written by the known historical person).
In his report the historical person would have to have stated that he wrote that report.
The account in the text can not be a retelling of an earlier story by someone else.
Is the text unchanged from when it was first written and has it been translated into English
correctly?
When in the past ?

The time period and/or date of that historical person needs to be known.
The date of the encounter with a visitor needs to be stated (in his report).
The date of the text itself would be beneficial, but it was acknowledged that the dates of ancient
works are often not exact or are unknown. Not having an exact date did not invalidate nor
exclude a text as a reference for this study.
Where ?
A known location is required to establish that the report by the historical person is original and
not just a different version of an older story from another place.

How ?
Did the historical person have a real physical encounter with a visitor?
Was the historical person just verbally told of future things or was he shown pictures of future
events, or both?
Was there any apparatus present?
Why ?
Did the visitor indicate why he had called upon the historical person?
The Visitor
Was he human ?
Was he physically present ?
Did the visitor indicate that he was from the future ?
Did he give his name ?
Did he carry anything ?
Did he give anything to the historical person ?
Did he take anything from the historical person ?
Did he give instructions to the historical person ?
Not knowing the name of a visitor did not invalidate nor exclude a text as a reference for this
study.
The above attributes are condensed and summarized in Section 4.
2. Part B Any Known Time Travellers ?
Have time travellers already been found documented in ancient texts by other people?
Author Gary Stearman in his book “Time Travelers of the Bible” suggests that biblical prophets
such as Ezekiel, Daniel and John may have been time travellers.[14]
The religious term of “prophet” (a person who foretells the future[15]) includes an ancient
person who has written of ‘future things’ (aka prophecy) in his chronicles, with his account now
forming part of a certain sacred text. This study simply viewed such “prophets” (including the
mentioned Ezekiel, Daniel and John) scholastically as ‘named historical persons’.
As it has previously been suggested that those three named persons may be time travellers, their
written texts were included in the list of ancient texts to be examined.
On an internet webpage entitled “Nostradamus, Time Travel and Prophecies” the question is
posed “Could time travel, prophecy and angels have something in common?” and relates Angels
with time travellers by asking “Could angels be the future time travelers we look for?”.[16]

While this is a scholastic study, it would be amiss to not use all resources available. In religious
studies, ‘messengers’ relating ‘future events’ (aka prophecies) to ancient people (now known as
‘prophets’) have been noted and were called “Angels”.
So what was an Angel?

The traditional religious meaning of an “angel” is 'a messenger of God', 'a supernatural being', 'a
guiding spirit', and presents a conventionalized image of a human figure in white with wings and
a halo.[17]
But this modern concept of an angel and its religious connotations are dislodged when we
review the following historical information:
“Though many theologians have argued that they have no physical existence, ‘angels’ are
frequently depicted as human in appearance. Beginning in the end of the 4th century presumably
to give an easy explanation for them travelling to and from heaven or to depict them as spirits,
they were depicted with wings.”[18]
and
“A new type of angel, with wings, appeared in Christian art from the reign of Constantine. The
oldest existing examples of winged angels are seen in some bas-reliefs of Carthage and a
representation on ivory of St. Michael, both attributed to the fourth century.”[19]
As the contemporary concept of an Angel was made up in the fourth century, then to what did
an angel originally refer?
As the word “angel” first appears in the Old Testament (and was written in Hebrew), a biblical
reference book was needed to seek out its meaning. I utilized the Hebrew Lexicon in Strong’s
Concordance[20] to do this task.
It is stated that the original primary meaning of Hebrew word #4397 ‘Angel’ was simply “a
messenger” and could also refer to ‘a prophet, priest or teacher (ambassador or king)’. These
types of ‘messengers’ were all human. The secondary and “specifically of God” meaning cited
in the lexicon was “angel”.
That secondary Hebrew religious meaning was meant to reject the earlier Mesopotamian and
Egyptian polytheistic system of ‘gods’. In the Hebrew religious context, one main ‘God’ was
given supreme power, with some of the remaining ‘gods’ being reclassified as helpers or
messengers and called ‘angels’. This secondary context is what was developed further in the
fourth century and continues today in Christian and other religious traditions.
In this study the original primary root meanings of ancient words were employed rather than
later secondary religious meanings. So, in ancient biblical times, an Angel was simply known to
be a human messenger. Hence, disregarding the new fourth century traditional concept of an
angel and its associated religious rhetoric plus the change of context that has been forced back
upon the Old Testament ’s use of the word, the term ‘human messenger’ can therefore be used in
place of the traditional word “angel”.

An internet word search of “angels who tell of future things” was conducted, and following the
first link brought up this piece of information: “Religious texts such as the Bible and the Qur'an
mention angels like archangel Gabriel delivering prophetic messages about future events.”[21]
Are there any other named “angels” in ancient texts?
A second internet search for “visit by named angel” brought up 'Gabriel' (again) and one named
“Moroni”.
Following a link,[22] information was found that stated an American person on September 21
1823 was visited by a messenger named Moroni. That encounter is documented in the Book of
Mormon (being the sacred text of the Mormons).
These two brief internet searches had generated the names of two possible time travelling
human messengers (aka “angels”), Gabriel and Moroni, and another two ancient texts to
investigate - the Qur’an and the Book of Mormon.
2. Part C Prescient Content
In religious terms ‘prophecy’ means “a thing spoken or written by a prophet”[23] relating to

knowledge of the future. Those ‘things written of the future’ if found in ancient texts during the
course of this study will be called ‘prescient content’.
Have examples of prescient content already been found documented in ancient texts by other
people?
Yes. Other scholars[24][25][26] have found that in the Old Testament’s Book of Daniel, verses
11:1-19 are descriptions of future events (of 530-187 BCE), written down by Daniel as told to
him in 539 BCE by a messenger (earlier named Gabriel).
The text itself provides the date that the future information itself was related to Daniel by the
messenger - “Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood to confirm and to strengthen
him.” (Dan 11:1).
“the first year of Darius the Mede” = circa 539 BCE.

Thus the ‘messenger’, while visiting Daniel, told him of ‘future’ historical information at that
time.
The works and results of the scholars cited above was amazing. Apparent ly, when prescient
content such as this is checked with events documented in history books, it is an easy matter to
see which particular historical events match to specific ancient descriptions.

I had to prove this for myself so I grabbed a Bible and searched an electronic encyclopedia[27]
(on cd-rom) for any matches to descriptions in the cited verses from the Book of Daniel.
Method
List source, extract prescient content then check descriptions to history books.
Validation will occur if the Historical Search derives a positive result (ie an exact match of
ancient descriptions to actual historical events).
Daniel 11:2 (Hebrew Old Testament, Book of Daniel, King James Version)
“And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and
the fourth shall be far richer than all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all
against the realm of Grecia.”
Extracted prescient content:

a. after 539 BCE
b. there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia
c. and the fourth shall be far richer than all
d. he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.
Now to check my encyclopedia for possible matches:

a. after circa 539 BCE
b.
Historical Search: ‘next three kings’
Source: Grolier cd-rom. Ancient Persia listing, The Achaemenids heading.
Cambyses II, Smerdis the usurper (aka. Gaumâta), and Darius I Hystaspes.
(The dates for these three were 530-522 BCE, 522 BCE and 522-486 BCE respectively.)
c. and d.
Historical Search: ‘fourth king who stirred up Grecia’
Source: Grolier cd-rom. Ancient Persia listing, The Achaemenids heading.
Xerxes I went to war with, but was defeated by the Greeks. (Date: 486-464 BCE)
Result: 6 out of 6 matches

a. after 539 BCE Yes
b. there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia Yes, Yes, Yes
c. and the fourth shall be far richer than all Yes
d. he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia. Yes
Conclusion
The prescient content noted by Daniel (in verse 11:2) in circa 539 BCE exactly matches to real
historical events as found documented in a history book for times after that date.

I then conducted a similar evaluation for the remaining verses (11:3-19) and found that they too
do in fact exactly describe events documented in modern history books. As the above verse
alone validates the other scholar’s claims, a summary of my findings for the other verses can be
read later in the Appendix.
In sections 6 and 7 of this paper prescient content was first extracted from a source text then
systematically, descriptions were checked to history books. The findings are presented in a
similar manner to that shown above.
Defining Prescient Content
Such content described in an ancient text needs to include:

• A future event (noted by the historical person in his account)
• A datable reference
• Characteristics of that event
• If a series of events, each are individually described
• A time period between those events
• A name of a future person and/or place
Validation
To derive a positive result and pass validation, if such described datable events are located in
ancient texts then, upon further examination by conducting Historical Searches, those described
ancient attributes need to exactly match to what is stated in modern history books.

Acquiring the names of five possible time travellers at this early stage of the groundwork was a
surprise. It was decided to evaluate this new information straight away as part of the validation
process and thus added this new section to present any interim findings.
Were Gabriel, Moroni, Ezekiel, Daniel and John time travellers?
Method
1. Search associated ancient texts for indications that these ancient people were time travellers.
2. Search the internet for other scholastic reports that may provide evidence.
3. Part A Were Ezekiel, Daniel and John Time Travellers ?
Ezekiel
The Hebrew Old Testament contains an ancient text entitled the ‘Book of Ezekiel’.
I read this book from my copy of the King James Bible and found no mention of or indication
that Ezekiel was a time traveller. He does not say that he was a time traveller nor do his words
indicate that he was a time traveller. I checked my printed copy of a religious commentary[28]
regarding the Book of Ezekiel and there is no mention by scholars that Ezekiel was a time
traveller. I also checked Wikipedia[29] online but there was no mention or indication by any of
the nineteen contributors to that summary article that Ezekiel was a time traveller.
Daniel
The Hebrew Old Testament contains an ancient text entitled the ‘Book of Daniel’.
I read this text from my copy of the King James Bible and found no mention of or indication
that Daniel was a time traveller. He does not say that he was a time traveller nor do his words
indicate that he was a time traveller. I checked my printed copies of two religious
commentaries[28][30] regarding the Book of Daniel and found no mention by scholars that
Daniel was a time traveller. I also checked Wikipedia[31] online but there was no mention or
indication by any of the over thirty contributors to that summary article that Daniel was a time
traveller.
John
The Christian New Testament contains an ancient text entitled the ‘Book of Revelation’ that was
written by a person named John.
I read this book from my copy of the King James Bible and found no mention of or indication
that John was a time traveller. He does not say that he was a time traveller nor do his words
indicate that he was a time traveller. I checked my printed copy of a religious commentary[32]
110 Named Time Travellers

regarding the Book of Revelation and found no mention by scholars that John was a time
traveller. I also checked Wikipedia[33] online but there was no mention or indication by any of
the over twenty five contributors to that summary article that John was a time traveller.
Result
My research found no evidence that these biblical prophets were time travellers.
Except for the suggestion by Gary Stearman that biblical prophets such as Ezekiel, Daniel and
John may have been time travellers, I found no other scholastic references to this idea in a
search of the internet, except for finding various pages that publicize, sell or review his 2011
book[34].
Conclusion
As there was no supportive evidence found, the claim that Ezekiel, Daniel and John were time
travellers derives a negative result.
The separate question of whether these three were individually visited by time travellers will be
investigated in later sections.
3. Part B Was Gabriel a human time traveller ?
In Section 2 it was found that before the Roman Christians created the traditional concept of a
divine white Angel with wings and a halo, the original primary Hebrew root meaning of ‘angel’
was “messenger” that was referring to a ‘a prophet, priest, teacher, ambassador or king’ - all of
whom were human. It was concluded that the term ‘human messenger’ should be used in place
of the traditional word “angel”.
In three separate ancient (sacred) Books, the ‘angel Gabriel’ is mentioned: The Old Testament
(Hebrew Faith); The New Testament (Christian Faith); and the Qur’an (Muslim Faith).
Is there evidence to support the conclusion based upon the original Hebrew word meaning (of
‘angel’) that the ‘messenger’ known as Gabriel was human?
In the Old Testament’s Book of Daniel, the messenger known as Gabriel is described as “the
man Gabriel”[35] (Daniel 9:21). But this is in English. In case it has been incorrectly translated
and/or interpreted, we need to confirm to what the word “man” meant in the original Hebrew.
Checking in the Hebrew Lexicon of Strong’s Concordance[36] for word #376 “man” it was
found to mean “a man as an individual or a male person” and this word is a construction of word
#582 that meant “a mortal”. The word “mortal” means ‘a living human being’.

Result
The original Hebrew word “man” and its etymology meant ‘an individual male, a living human
being’. Daniel in verse 9:21, when referring to the messenger Gabriel (aka angel) as the ‘man
Gabriel’, was recording in his personal account that a living individual male person with the
name Gabriel was present with him.
Conclusion
The messenger named in the Hebrew Old Testament in the Book of Daniel as Gabriel, was
know to Daniel to be a living human male.
Did this human named Gabriel travel through time?
The online New World Encyclopedia[37] states that the angel Gabriel was first mentioned in the
Book of Daniel in the Hebrew Bible and then in the New Testament by the gospel writer Luke,
and that in Islam he is described as one of God's chief messengers, who brings the Holy Qur'an
to Mohammad.
When dealing with such ancient texts that are deemed sacred by various religions I acknowledge
that all contain biased rhetoric that may not be historically factual. I do though consider most
firsthand reports by known individual historical ancient writers reporting an ‘angel being present
and talking to them’ to be their honest accounts of their personal encounter with a visitor (whom
they may have incorrectly perceived to be 'an angel of God' due to the religious context of the
times in which they lived). In the main examination, to hopefully filter out further religious
misinterpretation and rhetoric, the strict regime as formulated in section 2 was applied.
1a.
In the Old Testament it is reported in Daniel’s personal written account (Dan 8:1-27) in Babylon
from 550 BCE that a man named Gabriel was physically present next to him (Dan 8:17) and that
he touched him and made him stand up (Dan 8:18) and delivered explanations of visions earlier
seen by Daniel regarding future events (Dan 8:17).
1b.
In the Old Testament it is reported, in Daniel’s personal written account (Dan 9:21-27) in
Babylon from 539 BCE, that the same man named Gabriel was physically present again and
touched him (Dan 9:21) then informed and talked with him (Dan 9:22) and stated why he had
come, then told him of future events (from Dan 9:24).
1c.
In the Old Testament it is reported in Daniel’s personal written account (Dan 10:2-21) of 536
BCE, still in Babylon, that the same man (although not named this time) was physically present
yet again and talked with and touched Daniel (Dan 10:10-11) then stated why he had come (Dan
10:14). The visitor touched Daniel on the lips (Dan 10:16) and then touched him a third time
(Dan 10:18) then again stated why he had come (Dan 10:21).

From Daniel’s descriptions this unnamed person did the same things as the Gabriel he
mentioned in his other two reported encounters. I therefore conclude that the “angel” present
with Daniel in chapter 10 is the same messenger named Gabriel.
2a.
In the New Testament it is recorded in the ‘Gospel of Luke’ that in 5 BCE from the Jerusalem
temple, a Hebrew priest named Zechariah was visited by a messenger named Gabriel (Luke 5:5-
25) and was told that he was going to have a son (named John).
2b.
In the New Testament it is recorded in the ‘Gospel of Luke’ that in 5 BCE “in the sixth month”
a woman from Nazareth named Mary was visited by a messenger named Gabriel (Luke 5:26-38)
and was told that she was going to have a son (named Jeshua).
3.
In 610 CE an Arabian resident of Mecca named Mohammed had an encounter with a messenger
named Jibril (ie Gabriel).[38] Tradition says that during the next 23 years Mohammed was
instructed to remember what he was told during subsequent visits.[39] That information was
eventually written down into the manuscript called The Qur’an.
Result
The same man Gabriel has been historically noted as being present in:
- 550, 539 and 536 BCE in Babylon;
- Twice in 5 BCE, once in Jerusalem, and once in Nazareth six months later;
- In Arabia in 610 CE and each year until 632 CE.
Discussion
In 1a to 1c in Babylon, the overall time between these encounters is only 14 years (550-539-
536). It could be that a) the same human visited Daniel three times over that period of time, or b)
a human time traveller visited Daniel in each time period as separate events.
In 2a and 2b while the encounters were in different locations, it could be that a) the same human
visited each of them, or b) a human time traveller visited each of them, six months apart, as
separate events.
In 3 the time between encounters was only 1 year but this was over a 23 year period. It could be
that a) the same human visited Mohammed every year for 23 years, or b) a human time traveller
visited Mohammed once each year for 23 consecutive years.
A judgement based upon this information is inconclusive.
In contrast, as the time periods between 1b to 2 and 2 to 3 are 531 and 605 years respectively,
and between 1a to 3 was a total of 1,160 years, the prospect that it was the same human (living

through those time periods) visiting each of them is nil, as individual humans can not live that
long.
Conclusion
The same person could not live to an age of around 1,160 years. The human named Gabriel was
historically seen and documented as being present in three separate time periods.
Based upon the supportive information, the answer to “Was Gabriel a human time traveller?”
derives a positive result.
In reference to the search criterion for a Visitor (ie time traveller) that was compiled in section
2, the messenger Gabriel matches these attributes:
• Human
• Physically present
• Name known
• Gave instructions
• Stated purpose of visit
• Spoke of future events
As positive as it is, the above conclusion only fulfills part of the evaluation process. The aim of
this study is to answer the question “do ancient texts document time travellers from the future?”
For a result to be comprehensively confirmed and validated as positive, an Ancient Text has to
not only meet most of the search criterion attributes, but specifically these requirements:
1) relate that a human (person from the future*) was physically present;
2) with that same account containing descriptions of future events;
3) with those events now being able to be verified from contemporary history books.
*
Whether a visitor is from the future will be confirmed if requirement #3 produces a positive
result. To be able to tell an ancient person about a future event, the time traveller himself has to
have been living after that future event occurred, in order to know about it.
The outcome of this investigation regarding Gabriel has partly confirmed requirement #1 and
found that #2 is present in certain chapters of the Old Testament’s Book of Daniel.
Therefore, in the ‘Examining Ancient Accounts’ and ‘Consulting History Books’ sections, the
Book of Daniel will be searched to investigate #2 and to look for evidence to verify requirement
#3.

Part C Was Moroni a human time traveller ?
An American named Joseph Smith Jnr, in his personal testimony[40], stated that he was visited
by “a personage”* on 21st September 1823 who appeared by his bedside and talked to him.
During that night until the morning, the same person visited Smith a total of four times. He said
that he was “a messenger”, his name was “Moroni”, and there was a “book written upon gold
plates” that Smith was to translate. This messenger then came to Smith once every year over the
subsequent four year period 1824-1827.
* 1. a person of distinction. 2. a human individual. 3. a historical character.[41]
Smith reported that “on 22nd September 1827 the messenger” gave him the plates which were
taken from a sealed box, and that in the box were also artifacts including a “breastplate” and
‘two stones called the Urim and Thummim’.
After Smith had translated the gold plates, on 2nd May 1838 the messenger returned to collect
them. He also took away with him the other artifacts. The completed translated work is known
as The Book of Mormon.
In 1829 three other witnesses, Cowley, Whitmer and Harris[42], testified that they too saw
Moroni and the gold plates. They described him as “an angel”.
Discussion
1.
The time between encounters was only 1 year and this was over a 4 year period.
The total time elapsed for Moroni’s visits was fifteen years (1823-1838).
It could be that a) the same human visited Smith every year for 4 years, then again in 1838, and
this same person earlier visited the three witnesses in 1829 or b) a human time traveller visited
Smith once each year for 4 consecutive years as separate events, and visited the three witnesses
as a separate event in 1829, then visited Smith in 1838 as a separate event.
A judgement based upon this information is inconclusive.
Unlike Gabriel who was documented being present in three separate time periods at different
places, Moroni was only present in America.
2.
In America in 1827 CE the human messenger Moroni gave to Joseph Smith “the plates, the
Urim and Thummim, and the breastplate” then took them back in 1838.
In Egypt in 1230 BCE Moses[43] received two tablets of testimony (Exodus 31:18). Later in the
Old Testament they were called the ‘Urim and Thummim’. Moses, in the Books of Exodus and
Leviticus stated that the ‘Urim and Thummim were placed in the breastplate’ (Ex 28:30, Lev
8:8).

This means that the same set of artifacts, the breastplate and the Urim and Thummin, were
present in two different time periods of our history and on two different continents. Notably, the
time period between 1230 BCE and 1827 CE is 3,057 years, which is beyond the living time
span of a human male.
Result
The artifacts that Moroni gave Smith were from an earlier time and different continent, and
could not have been transported by the same living human male.
Conclusion
The indirect evidence that Moroni carried the same artifacts seen in an earlier time and to a
different country indicates some form of time travel, ergo ‘Moroni too travelled through time’
and thus was a time traveller. This disclosure needs to be investigated.
To do this I immediately subjected Moroni and Smith to the search criterion.
The Text and Historical Person

1. from a known location Yes, western New York near Manchester
2. by a named person Yes, Joseph Smith Junior
3. whose date in history is known Yes, December 23 1805 to June 27 1844
4. who states his name in the text A separate Testimony was provided
5. his firsthand account Testimony, Yes. (Book of Mormon was Translated)
6. a physical encounter with visitor Yes, many times
7. who was described as human Yes, a “personage”
8. the date of that encounter given Yes, 1823, 1824-1827 and 1838
The text is
- An original account Smith’s Testimony, Yes, but Book of Mormon was translated.
- The date written known Book of Mormon was published in 1830.
The Visitor
• Human ? Yes
• Physically present ? Yes, Smith and three witnesses.
• Said he was from the future ? No.
• Name known ? Moroni
• Carry anything ? Yes
• Give anything ? Yes
• Take anything ? Yes
• Give instructions ? Yes
• Purpose of visit stated ? Yes
• Spoke of future events ? No
• Showed future events ? No
• Apparatus present ? Yes, breastplate with Urim and Thummim

Conclusion
Responses to the Textual and Visitor requirements produce a positive outcome.
Now to subject the Book of Mormon to the Prescient Content search criterion.
I read the Book of Mormon and found it was full of religious rhetoric similar to and often the
same as the Bible. While it did document some new ancient history from 600 BCE to 421 CE
that I had not previously known, I could not find any prescient content.
Result
Prescient Content needs to include:
9. A future event No
10. A datable reference No
11. Characteristics of that event No
12. A series of events, individually described No
13. A time period between those events No
14. A name of a future person and/or place No
Conclusion
The Book of Mormon fails the prescient content validation and is thus rejected as a selected text
in the context of this paper.
Regarding the conclusion that ‘Moroni too travelled through time’ (and was thus a time
traveller), further study needs to address this and the associated “artifacts” that were seen in two
different time periods on two different continents that were carried by him.

4. The Search Criterion
Condensed from the previous sections, here follows a list of search attributes.
The Historical Person
1. from a known location,

2. by a named person,
3. whose date in history is known,
4. who states his name in the text,
5. and that it was his firsthand account.
6. He states that he had a physical encounter with a visitor,
7. who was described as human,
8. the date of that encounter is given.
The Text is
• An original account
• The date written known
• Unchanged since first written
• Translated into English correctly
The Visitor
• Human ?
• Physically present ?
• Said he was from the future ?
• Name known ?
• Carry anything ?
• Give anything ?
• Take anything ?
• Give instructions ?
• Purpose of visit stated ?
• Spoke of future events ?
• Showed future events ?
• Apparatus present ?
118 The Search Criterion

Prescient Content needs to include:
9. A future event
10. A datable reference
11. Characteristics of that event
12. If a series of events, each are individually described
13. A time period between those events
14. A name of a future person and/or place
To be examined
Investigate whether Ezekiel and John were individually visited by time travellers.
Specifically examine the “Gabriel” passages from the Book of Daniel (Hebrew Bible) plus the
Gospel of Luke (New Testament) and the Qur'an (Muslim Faith).
In this study, for the answer to “do ancient texts document time travellers from the future?” to
be confirmed in the positive, the text has to be a firsthand account AND be by a known
historical person AND a time traveller physically needs to be present AND associated prescient
content needs to be present in that ancient text AND that prescient content needs to exactly
match to modern historical events documented in history books.
119 The Search Criterion

Although most of the ancient texts to be examined in this research are deemed religious by some
people, this scholastic study is not about Religion or Faith.
In respect to these investigations, the term “ancient text” refers to the different chapters written
by certain individuals or separate sections that make up composite ancient books such as the Old
Testament, the New Testament and the Qur'an. Specifically preselected were the accounts by
Ezekiel (Old Testament) and John (New Testament) and the “Gabriel” passages from the Book
of Daniel (Old Testament), the Gospel of Luke (New Testament) and the Qur'an.
Here these ancient texts are filtered on the basis of the search criterion (listed in section 4).
5. Part A Gospel of Luke (New Testament)
The Historical Person:

1. from a known location No.
2. by a named person No. The author was anonymous[44]
3. whose date in history is known No. Biblical scholars can not agree.
4. who states his name in the text No. The name ‘Luke’ is not present in the text.*
5. and that it was his firsthand account No. Verse 1:1 says it was a record of known beliefs.
6. a physical encounter with a visitor No. Two stories relate encounters by other people.
7. the date of that encounter is given No. The author had no encounter with a visitor.
With the Text itself being:

An original account No. It is a historical record of known ‘beliefs’.
The date written known No. Biblical scholars can not agree.
* This point alone invalidates this text.
Result: The Gospel of Luke fails validation and is therefore rejected from this study.
120 Selecting Ancient Texts

5. Part B The Qur'an
The Historical Person:

1. from a known location Yes. A cave named Mount Hira near Mecca, Arabia.
2. by a named person Yes. Mohammed
3. whose date in history is known Yes. Circa 570 - 632 CE.
4. who states his name in the text Yes.
5. and that it was his firsthand account Yes. Verbal instructions given and remembered.
6. a physical encounter with a visitor Yes. With a messenger named Jibril (ie Gabriel).
8. the date of that encounter is given Yes. First encounter 610 CE.
With the Text itself being:

An original account Yes. What was verbally told to him by Jibril.
The date written known No, but sometime after Mohammed’s death.
Result: The Qur’an passes validation and is therefore included in the next section.
5. Part C Old Testament Prophets
Ancient historical persons (ie ‘prophets’) who told of future events AND had a personal
encounter with a visitor (known in those ancient times as an ‘angel’) are investigated herein.
An internet word search for the term “prophet” revealed the names of sixteen prophets of the
Old Testament. They were Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk,
Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel.
5 C 1.
Conducting a word search using an electronic version of the Bible[45] for the word “angel” for
all these texts derived negative results except for Isaiah, Hosea, Zechariah and Daniel.
Result: Eleven of those ancient historical people (excluding Ezekiel, the twelfth) who did not
mention the word ‘angel’ in their texts are excluded from this study – as they each did not report
having a personal encounter with a visitor (ie “angel”).
5 C 2. The Book of Ezekiel

The book of Ezekiel was preselected due to it being written by a named “prophet”. Although he
does not say he was visited by “an angel” (which should exclude him from this study), Ezekiel
does document that “a man” was present (Ezk 1:8) and that this man’s hand held “a roll of a
book” (Ezk 2:9) from which he saw visions [of the future]. As someone was physically present
with Ezekiel and showed him things of the future from a mysterious roll of a book, this warrants
the application of the search criterion process.


1. from a known location Yes, Babylon. “I was among the captives” (Ezk 1:1)
2. by a named person Yes. “ Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi” (Ezk 1:3)
3. whose date in history is known Yes, 593 to 571 BCE
4. who states his name in the text Not directly, but “I was sitting in my house” (Ezk 8:1)
5. and that it was his firsthand account Yes, ‘I looked and saw…’ (Ezk 1:4)
6. Had a physical encounter with a visitor Yes, “he said to me” (Ezk 3:1)
7. who was described as human Yes, “the hands of a man” (Ezk 3:8)
8. the date of that encounter is given “5th year of Jehoiachin's captivity” (Ezk 1:2) 593 BCE
The text is
• An original account Yes
• The date written known Implied, while he was in captivity 593 to 571 BCE
The Visitor
• Human ? Yes, “a man came and stood by me” (Ezk 43:6)
• Physically present ? Yes, “a man came and stood by me” (Ezk 43:6)
• Name known ? No
• Carry anything ? Yes, ‘a book in his hands’ (Ezk 2:9)
• Gave anything ? Yes, the book - “he spread it before me” (Ezk 2:10)
• Gave instructions ? Yes, “eat this book” {ie read it} (3:1), “write it down” (43:11)
• Purpose of visit stated ? Yes, ‘describe the Temple to the house of Israel’ (Ezk 43:10)
• Spoke of future events ? Yes, but in general religious terms
• Showed future events ? Yes, various “visions”, specifically the Temple
• Apparatus present ? Yes, an “altar” (Ezk 40:47)
9. A future event – some were generally of a religious nature and vaguely described.
10. A datable reference – No.
11. Characteristics of that event – some were vaguely described.
12. Series of events individually described No
13. A time period between those events No
14. A name of a future person and/or place No
Result: As this study is seeking possible described historical events (told to an ancient person
by a visitor) that can be verified with modern history books, Ezekiel’s descriptions of ‘visions’
of the future seen by himself fall outside the prescient content search criterion and thus excludes
Ezekiel from this study.
Regarding Ezekiel’s report that ‘a man came and stood by me’ and ‘showed me a future Temple
from a book’ (hence inferring some form of time travel), further study needs to be conducted to
address the associated “book” that was carried by the reported ‘man’.

5 C 3.
Isaiah mentions the word “angel” twice (Isa 37:36 and 63:9) but only as part of past known
stories.
Hosea only mentions “angel” once (Hos 12:4) but as part of a known past story about Jacob.
Neither person had an encounter with a visitor.
Result: These two ancient historical people are therefore also excluded from this study.
5 C. 4.
Zechariah mentions the word “angel” nineteen times. In chapter one he describes his personal
encounter with a visitor. eg “So the angel who talked with me said to me…” Zech 1:9.

1. from a known location Yes, Jerusalem
2. by a named person Yes for first half, but disputed for remaining half
3. whose date in history is known Yes, 520-480 BCE
4. who states his name in the text* First half “Zechariah” is stated in third person
5. and that it was his firsthand account Yes, sections quote “I did, saw, asked…” etc
6. a physical encounter with a visitor Yes, ‘..the angel talked with me” (Zech 1:9)
7. who was described as human Not mentioned
8. date of encounter given Yes, references to reign of King Darius, but second half not dated
The text is
• An original account Disputed, as second part written in third person.
• The date written known Two sections: 1) 520 - 518 BCE, 2) unknown
The Visitor
• Human ? Not mentioned
• Physically present ? Yes, ‘..the ange l talked with me” (Zech 1:9)
• Name known ? No
• Gave instructions ? Yes, “proclaim…” (Zech 1:14)
• Purpose of visit stated ? Yes, to make people return to God (Zech 1:3)
• Spoke of future events ? Yes
* As this text does not identify the author in the first person (ie in the form “I, Zechariah”) and
the second half is not datable nor is the name ‘Zechariah’ mentioned, this indicates that it was a
retelling of a story by a third party.
When I read the King James version of the Book of Zechariah I found that it was full of
religious rhetoric and that, similar to the Book of Ezekiel, some descriptions of “visions” were

related by Zechariah. While the visitor does appear to be speaking of future events, many are
spoken of in general religious terms.
Scholars such as Dr H Ross[46] and G Konug[47] who cite Zechariah 11:12-13 ,12:10 and
Zechariah 8:7-8 respectively, claim to have matched ‘future events’ to those ancient
descriptions. If I wasn’t so pedantic with the search criterion I may have given Zechariah a
positive result based upon some of their findings, but for example, Konug’s selected prophecy is
matched to multiple modern events. To me this is a form of ‘hedging your bet’ and is therefore,
in my opinion, inconclusive.
Regarding my strict validation requirements:

9. A future event – Yes.
10. A datable reference – No, none of them.
11. Characteristics of that event – some were very vaguely described.
12. A series of events, each individually described – No, mainly separate individual events.
13. A time period between those events – No.
14. A name of a future person and/or place – No.
Result: Zechariah fails the Prescient Content validation process and is therefore rejected.
The two biblical texts Daniel and Revelation were preselected due to each being written by a
named “prophet” and containing the word “angel”, with Daniel’s report containing the name of
a visitor named ‘Gabriel’. Even so, the search criterion process still needs to be applied to them.
5. Part D The Book of Daniel

1. from a known location Yes, Babylon
2. by a named person Yes, Daniel
3. whose date in history is known Yes, 605 to 535 BCE
4. who states his name in the text Yes, Dan 8:1 “to me Daniel”, “I Daniel” Dan 7:15
5. and that it was his firsthand account Yes, but only chapters 7-12
6. a physical encounter with a visitor Yes, ‘near me’ and “touched me” (Dan 8:17-18)
7. who was described as human Yes, “the man Gabriel” (Dan 9:21)
8. the date of that encounter is given Yes, 553 BCE chapter 7 and 539 BCE chapter 9
The text is
• An original account Yes, chapters 7-12
• The date written known Disputed
• Unchanged since first written Greek text has some additions to the Hebrew text

The Visitor
• Human ? Yes, “the man Gabriel” (Dan 9:21)
• Physically present ? Yes, ‘near me’ and “touched me” (Dan 8:17-18)
• Name known ? Yes, Gabriel (Dan 8:16 and 9:21)
• Gave instructions ? Yes, “shut up the words, and seal the book” (Dan 12:4)
• Purpose of visit stated ? Yes, “to give thee skill and understanding” (Dan 9:22)
• Showed future events ? Yes
Apparatus present ? Yes, “golden and silver vessels” and “throne” (Dan 5:2 and 7:9)
Although Daniel also reported that he saw future events in “visions”, this does not exclude him
from this study because a visitor named Gabriel (reported as being present) verbally told Daniel
of ‘future events’.
Result: Daniel passes textual validation and is therefore included in the next section.
Specifically, Daniel 7:23-25, 9:21-27, and 11:40-45 have been selected because they also pass
validation for Prescient Content:
9. A future event Yes, several
10. A datable reference Yes, several
11. Characteristics of those events Yes
12. Series of events individually described Yes
13. Time periods between those events Yes
14. A name of a future person and/or place Yes, Michael (also Dan 10:13, 21 and 12:1)
5. Part E The Book of Revelation by John

1. from a known location Yes, ‘Patmos Island’, Greece (Rev 1:9)
2. by a named person Yes, John
3. whose date in history is known Yes, 95 CE
4. who states his name in the text Yes, “I, John” (Rev 1:9, 21:2, 22:8)
5. and that it was his firsthand account Yes, ‘I John saw and heard these things ’ (Rev 22:8)
6. Had a physical encounter with a visitor Yes, “I went to the ange l” (Rev 10:9)
7. who was described as human Not mentioned
8. the date of that encounter is given When John was on Patmos Island (Rev 1:9)
The text is
• An original account Yes
• The date written known Implied, when John was on Patmos Island (Rev 1:9)
• Unchanged since first written Unknown. Original manuscripts destroyed by Romans
• Translated into English correctly It was done with a religious bias (from Latin source)

The Visitor
• Human ? Not mentioned
• Physically present ? Yes. “I fell down…before the feet of the ange l” (Rev 22:8)
• Said he was from the future ? Yes, “I am the beginning and the end” (Rev 1:8, 11; 21:6, 13)
• Name known ? No
• Carry anything ? Yes, a “book” (Rev 10:10)
• Gave anything ? Yes, “I took the book out of the angel’s hand” (Rev 10:10)
• Gave instructions ? Yes, “what you see, write it in a book” (Rev 1:11, 21:5)
• Purpose of visit stated ? Yes, ‘the disclosure, to show of things that must come’ (Rev 1:1)
• Showed future events ? Yes
• Apparatus present ? Yes, “…sat on a throne” (Rev 5:1)
Although John also reported that he saw future events in “visions”, this does not exclude him
from this study because the visitor who was present verbally told him of ‘future events’.
Result: John’s Book of Revelation passes textual validation and is therefore included in the next
section.
Specifically, Revelation 9:2-11 as they pass validation for Prescient Content:

9. A future event Yes, military descriptions
10. A datable reference Not directly
11. Characteristics of that event Yes, whole of Revelation chapter 9
12. Series of events individually described Yes
13. A time period between those events Yes, 5 months (Rev 9:5)
14. A name of a future person and/or place Yes, location (Rev 12:11), river name (Rev 12:14)
5. Part F Nostradamus

1. from a known location Yes. France
2. by a named person Yes. Michel de Nostredame
3. whose date in history is known Yes. December 1503 to July 1566
4. who states his name in the text Yes. Published works cited him as author.
5. it was his firsthand account Yes. He explains how he came by future knowledge.
The text is
• An original account Yes.
• The date written known Yes. Refer to individual publishing dates.
• Unchanged since first written Mostly.
• Translated into English correctly Most of the time.
Apparatus present ? Yes, ‘saddle in the air’
Showed future events ? Saw ‘visions of the future’ from the apparatus

Result: Nostradamus passes validation and will be included in the next section.
Specifically, Quatrain 81 from Century 1, published in 1555 CE has been selected because it
also passes validation for Prescient Content:
9. A future event Yes
10. A datable reference Yes, exact date given.
11. Characteristics of that event Yes
5. Part G Other Ancient Texts
While other ancient texts were considered, some either did not contain prescient content or did
not indicate visitors or messengers. Of those that did, possible ‘future events’ were described in
“visions” or were too vague ly described. Those texts did not pass validation and were excluded
from this study.

6. Examining Ancient Accounts for Prescient Text
6. Part A The Qur’an
I read the English version of the Qur’an[48] but could not find any obvious prescient content. I
then checked the internet to see what other scholars may have found. While the arguments[49]
put forward by scholars such as Ansar Raza regarding prescient content in the Qur’an are
compelling, I found that they were mostly interpretation and failed to include many of the
required search criterion. This is why I did not see them during my read through. Regarding the
fourteen examples given by Raza:
9. A future event – some were vaguely described.
10. A datable reference – No, none of them.
11. Characteristics of that event – some were vaguely described.
12. A series of events, each individually described – varied from vague to somewhat.
13. A time period between those events – No.
14. A name of a future person and/or place – No.
Result: The Qur’an fails prescient content validation and is now rejected from this study.
6. Part B Nostradamus
Prescient content has previously been found in the works of Nostradamus.

An Australian researcher, Ronald Pegg, stated that in 2000
“One night in June I was looking through a book about Nostradamus when I discovered
nine consecutive quatrains that produced descriptions concerning one particular recent
historical event; the Persian Gulf Conflict of 1990 and the subsequent War in 1991.”[50]
The numbers of those quatrains were C1:12-20.[51] Pegg goes on to say that he also matched
modern historical events to the described accounts by Nostradamus in quatrains 1:28-30 and
1:79-85.[52]
I have selected one quatrain from those studied by Pegg for investigation.[53]
C1 .81 French [54]

D'humain troupeau neuf seront mis à part,
De jugement & conseil separés:
Leur sort sera divisé en depart,
Kappa, Thita, Lambda mors bannis égarés
128 Examining Ancient Accounts for Prescient Text

C1 .81 English[54]
Nine will be set apart from the human flock,
separated from judgment and advice.
Their fate is to be divided as they depart.
Kappa, Thita, Lamda, dead, banished and scattered.
The first thing I did was to check whether Pegg had copied the French and English words
correctly from his cited resource.[54] He did except for the Greek letters that were originally
written in the English translation as “K. Th. L.”. Pegg wrote them out in full as per the original
French.
Now for my own examination of this quatrain.

When I checked a French dictionary[55] to confirm the translation into English, I found that the
French word “conseil” (line 2) has several meanings, being ‘advice, consultant, and council or
committee’. In line 1 “human flock” is ‘a group’ thus to maintain that plural concept, in line 2
“conseil” refers to ‘committee’.
French word “sort” (line 3) means ‘lot’ (as in to draw lots. ie choose).
French word “depart” (line 3) means ‘point of departure’.
French word “bannis” (line 4) means ‘exile’.
In line 4 “Kappa, Thita, Lamda” are the Greek letters ‘K Th L’ which are the 10th, 8th and 11th
letters in the Greek alphabet. Nostradamus has deliberately encoded a date using those Greek
letters. As the French use the date format of day-month-year[56], we can use the ‘letters as
number substitutions’ to decode the date.
Ronald Pegg found the decoding key[57] in quatrain 16 century 1 as part of his 1990/1991
Persian Gulf War discoveries. Lines 3 and 4 (of C1:16) say “Plague, famine, death from military
hands; the century approaches its renewal”. As associated quatrains derived war events in the
1990s, Pegg concluded that the approaching century is therefore the year 2000. I concur.
When counting back the number of years, the count is inclusive. For example, the number of full
years between 2000 and 1990 is 11. ie 2000 (inclusive - 1), 1999 (2), 1998 (3), 1997 (4), 1996
(5), 1995 (6), 1994 (7), 1993 (8), 1992 (9), 1991 (10), 1990 (11).
Nostradamus has written a date as “Kappa, Thita, Lamda” = 10 8 11, which decodes to 10th
August 1990. (2000 back 11 inclusive = 1990)
When translated into English the original sentence syntax was altered.
C1 Q 81 should read:
Of the human flock, nine will be set apart from judgment. The committee separated.
Their lot will be divided on point of departure 10th August 1990. Death, exile and scattered.
What modern event has Nostradamus described?
“Human flock” refers to a group of humans, and not individual people.

The “committee” refers to the individuals who make up this “human flock”.
“Nine will be set apart” = nine of the committee members will be set apart from the others.
The “judgment” refers to the ‘divided lot’ from line 3.
“The committee separated” = the committee members will be separate from the rest of the
“human flock”.
Their “lot” refers to ‘drawing lots’, ie a choice, such as a vote.

“Their lot will be divided” = the lot will divide the human flock.
“on point of departure 10th August 1990” = (the vote) will take place on 10th August 1990.
“Dead, exiled and scattered” refer to consequences of the voting.
The described historical event in c1 .q81 by Nostradamus:

ð Of the human flock, nine will be set apart from a judgment. The committee will be
separated. The vote will divide the committee members, and take place on 10th August
1990, followed by death, being exiled and scattered.
Result: This description passes prescient content validation and will be checked to history
books in the next section.
6. Part C Daniel 7:23-25
In the Old Testament’s Book of Daniel, verses 7:23-25 in the King James version say
“Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be
diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and
break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and
another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue
three kings. 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.”
Background and Context

Daniel was visited by the messenger Gabriel (named in Dan 8:16 and 9:21). Daniel reports in his
account that he had a dream in which he saw visions that he did not understand. Although not
specifically named here in chapter 7, he asked Gabriel to explain what he had just seen with the
words “I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he
told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.” (Dan 7:16-17). Chapter 7 of Daniel
is written in Aramaic and not Hebrew.

The fact that the ‘messenger nearby’ was Gabriel is affirmed later in verse 9:21 by Daniel who
states “Yea, while I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the
vision at the beginning…”
The significant point here is that Daniel’s written account states that the nearby messenger
[Gabriel] spoke to him, with his words being recorded in verses 7:23-25.
What Daniel did not understand was the topic of a “fourth beast” that he saw in his visions as
noted in earlier verses of Daniel chapter 7.
The messenger [Gabriel] explained that
Dan 7:23
“The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all
kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.”
“The fourth beast” = the fourth kingdom on earth.

“shall be diverse from all kingdoms” = will be a different type of ‘kingdom’ to every other.
“shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces” = the first of a
series of listed characteristics of the ‘fourth kingdom’.
Dan 7:24
“And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after
them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.”
This verse contains events written chronologically backwards.

“he shall subdue three kings” = the “another shall rise” will subdue three kingdoms.
“he shall be diverse from the first” = the “another shall rise” will be different to the first of the
“three kingdoms”.
“another shall rise after them” = the ‘fourth kingdom’ follows the associated “three kingdoms”.
The “ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that will arise” = ten king/kingdoms will arise
from the “fourth beast” kingdom.
Dan 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.”
It is important to note that Daniel in the mid sixth century BCE was exclusively worshipping the
Hebrew God (in a religious context).
The “he shall speak” = the fourth kingdom.
The “most High” = the Hebrew God.
Thus “he shall speak words against the most High” = the fourth kingdom will speak words
against the Hebrew God.
Seeking the original meanings of words from the Hebrew Lexicon of Strong’s Concordance,
Aramaic word #1080 “wear out” means ‘to afflict (used only in a mental sense)’.

“shall afflict (in a mental sense) the saints on the most High” = saints will be afflicted (in a
mental sense) upon the Hebrew God.
“think to change times” = will change time.

“think to change laws” = will change laws (of the Hebrew Old Testament).
According to Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible “Until a time and times and the dividing
of time - In prophetic language a time signifies a year; and a prophetic year has a year for each
day. Three years and a half (a day standing for a year) will amount to one thousand two hundred
and sixty years, if we reckon thirty days to each month, as the Jews do”.[58]
While that sounds logical, I would rather see what the original Aramaic words meant.
From the lexicon in Strong’s Concordance Aramaic word #5732 “time” meant ‘a set time’ and
technically ‘a year’.
In the Hebrew Old Testament a precedent was set regarding ‘days’ equalling ‘years’. Numbers
14:34 states “after the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each
day for a year”.
In ancient times many cultures such as the Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians and Persians used
a 360 day year. A civic Egyptian year[59] had 12 months of 30 days = 360 days.
“a time and times and the dividing of time” is a formula for T + Tx2 + T/2
So if a year had 360 days, and ‘a day’ can represent ‘a year’, then “time” = 360 years.
In T + Tx2 + T/2 where T = “time” thus 360 years, 1,260 years is the solution. 360 + 720 + 180
“they shall be given into his hand for 1,260 years” = the hand of the fourth kingdom lasts 1,260
years.
Summary Daniel 7:23-25

ð A fourth kingdom different to all other kingdoms, subdues three kingdoms.
It is different to the first kingdom. It will:
a. speak words against the Hebrew God
b. afflict saints upon the Hebrew God.
c. change time
d. change laws (of the Hebrew Old Testament)
e. last 1,260 years
and devours the whole earth, treads it down, and breaks it in pieces.
Ten new kings/kingdoms will rise from this fourth kingdom.

6. Part D Daniel 9:21-25
“Yea, while I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision
at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening
oblation. And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come
forth to give thee skill and understanding. At the beginning of thy supplications the
commandment came forth, and I am come to show thee; for thou art greatly beloved:
therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.”

Daniel was once again, in 536 BCE, physically visited by the male messenger named Gabriel
who stated the reason for his visit, being that he had come to give Daniel the skill and
understanding to comprehend another set of “visions” and elaborate upon the future information
that was shown and told to him (as reported by Daniel in his earlier accounts in Daniel chapters
7 and 8).
Gabriel specifically relates to Daniel ‘what’ is going to happen to the “fourth beast” and the
subsequent “ten horns” that were mentioned in the previous examination, as well as the Hebrew
Faith (now mentioned here). The holy city of Jerusalem is specifically mentioned as a known
location. The ‘when’ is given two time periods and the end point is described as “to anoint the
most Holy”.
The general What and When

Daniel 9:24 says “Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy 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.”
Checking the meaning of the words in the Hebrew lexicon of Strong’s Concordance, word
#7620 “weeks” means ‘sevened’, as in a week of seven years.
So if 1 week = 7 years then “70 weeks” = 490 years (70 x 7 years).
“Seventy weeks are determined…..to seal up the vision and prophecy” = 490 years is the total
time frame after which the documented visions and prophecies (ie future historical events told to
Daniel by Gabriel) take place.
“thy people and upon thy holy city “ = the Hebrew Faith (Daniel’s people) and Jerusalem (the
holy city).
“anoint the most Holy” refers to the “Messiah the Prince” of the next verse.

The end result will be “to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make
reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness” which is now also directed
towards the Hebrew Faith (“thy people”).
The specific What, Who and When

Daniel, verse 9:25
“Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and
to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two
weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troubled times.”
A.
“Jerusalem” (the ‘holy city’ of 9:24) as a synecdoche* refers to the country of Israel.
* A synecdoche is a literary technique of ‘part for the whole’, by which a less comprehensive
term (such as the name of a town) is used to represent a more comprehensive term (in this case,
the country in which this town is located).
Start Point 1, description of a date - “the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem”
End Point description - “the Messiah the Prince” appears.
Hebrew word #5057 “prince” can mean ‘a civil commander’. ie not a military nor religious
leader.
Elsewhere in the Book of Daniel the messenger Gabriel is quoted by Daniel as naming this
“prince” as ‘Michael’. (Dan 10:21 “But I will show thee that which is noted in the scripture of
truth: and one that holdeth with me in these things is Michael your prince”).
Hebrew word #4899 “Messiah” means ‘usually a consecrated person (as a saint)’ thus Messiah
= saint.
As the civil leader (ie ‘prince’) is later named “Michael” by Gabriel, thus ‘civil leader’ =
Michael and “the Messiah the Prince” = “the Messiah the civil leader” = the Messiah Michael =
Saint Michael.
While the original Hebrew status of this ‘Messiah’ was ‘a civil leader’, Gabriel, using certain
words, has indicated to Daniel that the Michael of the Old Testament has been elevated to the
status of a Saint.
Historical Search
The Roman Catholic Christian Church elevated the ‘archangel Michael’ to ‘Saint Michael’.
This paper is presented in specific sections, and as such the identity of the “fourth kingdom”
(from Daniel 7:23-25) has not yet been revealed to you. Spoiler…you will find in the Daniel
7:23-25 historical validation section that by conclusion, the “fourth kingdom” was the Roman

Catholic Church. The “Michael” in the New Testame nt’s Book of Revelation is the same
“Michael” mentioned here (in the Old Testament) by Gabriel.
To filter out some of this religious rhetoric (being words such as angel, Messiah, Saint,
archangel and prince) I will simply use the name Michael for this future civil leader.
Associated End Point Event

“The street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troubled times” = the streets and walls will
be rebuilt after a war.
Time Period 1 - “seven weeks”

Hebrew word #7620 “weeks” means ‘sevened’ as in a week of seven years.
“Seven weeks of years” = 7 multiplied by 7 years = 49 years.
Prescient Event 1
ð From the commandment to restore and to build Israel (with the streets and walls being rebuilt
after a war) until Michael appears, is 49 years.
B.
Start Point 2, description of a date
In the next section you will find in the Daniel 7:23-25 historical validation that in 1563 CE the
Catholic Council of Trent concluded. The habitual sinfulness (the Catholic Sacraments) was
declared authentic and the textually corrupted Vulgate Bible was affirmed. These two events
will be included in the “speak words against the most high” and “change laws” described in Dan
7:25 which relate to the Roman Catholic Church.
It is important to note that the ‘habitual sinfulness of the 1563 CE Catholic Sacraments’ is to
what Gabriel is referring in the words “to make an end of sins” from Dan 9:24. This description
associates the 1563 CE date as a start point.
Time Period 2 - “threescore and two weeks” (ie 62 weeks)

“Sixty two weeks” = 62 multiplied by 7 years = 434 years.
Same End Point description - “the Messiah the Prince” ie Michael appears.
More Associated Information

1.
You may have missed an important piece of information given earlier.
Let us re-examine Daniel verse 10:21 “But I will show thee that which is noted in the scripture
of truth: and one that holdeth with me in these things is Michael your prince”
Daniel (9:24) spoke of ‘sealed visions’. Gabriel has come to Daniel to give him understanding
about certain sealed visions that Daniel has subsequently documented in his accounts.

The “scripture of truth” = the Bible.

Gabriel stated that [the future] Michael also knows about what is written and noted in the Bible.
2.
That same Michael is documented in the New Testament. Jude 1:9 says “Yet Michael the
archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses…”
In the Greek lexicon of Strong’s Concordance Greek word #1228 “devil” means ‘traducer’, ie
‘to speak maliciously and falsely’ (and not the traditional religious concept of a red man with
horns, etc).
The “body of Moses” = the works written by Moses = the Torah (first five books of the Hebrew
Bible which include Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy).
Being the same “Michael”, he thus knows (as does Gabriel) what is noted (ie written and sealed)
in the Bible, specifically the Torah, which is disputed.
Prescient Event 2
ð Starting in 1563, 434 years later Michael appears. He knows what is written in the Bible,
specifically the Torah, and it is disputed.
Summary Daniel 9:24-25, 10:21

A. From the commandment to restore and to build Israel (with the streets and walls being
rebuilt after a war) Mic hael appears 49 years later.
B. A (civil leader) Michael, 434 years after 1563, knows what is written and sealed in the
Torah, and it is disputed.

6. Part E Daniel 9:26-27
Daniel is then told by Gabriel what will happen next (in 1997, being 434 years after 1563), by
whom and when.
Daniel 9:26
“And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off and have nothing: and the
people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary, and his end
thereof shall be with a flood; and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.”
When, who and what.

Dan 9:26a “And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off and have nothing”

“after threescore and two weeks” = after 434 years (62 x7 years), being in 1997 (ie 1563 + 434).
Hebrew word #3772 “cut off” means ‘cut down’.

“shall Messiah be cut off and have nothing” = Michael (the Messiah) is cut down and has
nothing.
ð After 1997 Michael is cut down and has nothing.
The next Who, and who follows him and what they will do.
Dan 9:26b “and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the
sanctuary”
Hebrew word #5057 “prince” can mean ‘a civil commander’. ie not a military nor religious
leader.
The “prince that shall come” = another civil leader appears (after Michael).
The “people of the prince” = the people who work for this second civil commander.
Hebrew word #7843 “destroy” means ‘to decay, cause to ruin’ (as in cast off).
Hebrew word #5892 “city” means ‘a city (guarded by a watch)’.
Hebrew word s #6944 “sanctuary” means 'sacred place’ (as in a religious Temple).
“the people (of the prince that shall come) shall destroy the city and the sanctuary” = the people
(who work for the second civil commander) will cause to cast off the guarded walled city and
the sacred Temple.
ð After Michael another civil leader appears.

ð His followers will cause ‘to cast off the guarded walled city and the sacred Temple’.
What happens to and the when of the ‘next civil leader’.

Dan 9:26c “and his end thereof shall be with a flood”
“his end ” refers to ‘the prince that shall come’. It comes with a flood.
ð The end time of the second civil leader has an associated described datable event, a Flood.
The when and what the ‘people of the prince’ do.

Dan 9:26d “and unto the end of the war desolations are determined”
Hebrew word #5704 “unto” means ‘during’.

Hebrew word #4421 “war” (in the sense of fighting) means ‘battle (ie. the engagement)’.

Hebrew word #2782 “determined” means 'to decide' as in make a judgement. (ie. a decree or
determination)
Hebrew word #8074 “desolations” means ‘to stun’ and ‘to stupefy’ (as in amaze).
= during the end battle, the determination (ie judgment) will stun and amaze.
ð Regarding the people who work for the second civil leader, during the end battle the
judgment will stun and amaze (people).
The time period for this “end” is given in the next verse.
Daniel 9:27
“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 for the overspreading of
abominations, he shall make it desolate even until the consummation, and that determined
shall be poured upon the desolate.”
Regarding the second civil leader:

1. the what and the time period for the “end”.
Dan 9:27a “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week”
Hebrew word #1285 “covenant ” means ‘a compact’.

“one week” = 1 multiplied by 7 years = 7 years.
The “he” = the second civil leader (ie the “prince that shall come” of 9:26).
The calculated date from 9:26 (and 9:25) gave 1997.

Adding 7 years onto this gives 2004.
ð The second civil leader confirms the compact with many for 7 years [1997 to 2004].
2. Another time frame and event.

Dan 9:27b “and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease
for the overspreading of abominations”
Hebrew word #3671 “overspreading” specifically means ‘a wing’ or ‘winged’.

Hebrew word #8251 “abominations ” means ‘filthy idols’.
“for the overspreading of abominations” = for the winged idols.

The “winged idols” = statues of the winged Saints as worshipped by the members of the Roman
Catholic Church.

“he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease for the winged idols ” = the Roman
Christian religious rites of worshipping Saints will be caused to cease by the second civil leader.
This matter associates with the “make an end of sins” event from Dan 9:24 where the Catholic
Sacraments (ie the “sins”) were confirmed in 1563 CE at the Council of Trent.
ð Half way between 1997 and 2004 the second civil leader will cause the Roman Christian
religious rites of worshipping Saints to cease.
3. Yet another event and time frame.

Dan 9:27c “he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation”
Hebrew word #8074 “desolate” means ‘to stun’ and ‘to stupefy’ (as in amaze).
Hebrew word #5704 “even until” means ‘until’.
Hebrew word #3617 “consummation” means ‘a completion’.
ð the second civil leader will stun and amaze until the completion.
4.
Dan 9:27d “and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.”
Hebrew word #2782 “determined” means 'to decide' as in make a judgment. (ie a decree or
determination)
Hebrew word #5413 “poured” means ‘to flow forth’.
Hebrew word #8074 “desolate” means ‘to stun’ and ‘to stupefy’ (as in amaze).
ð and that judgment will pour forth upon the ones being stunned and amazed.
Summary of described events from Daniel 9:26-27

1. After 1997 Michael is cut down and has nothing.
2. A second civil leader appears.
3. The end comes 7 years after 1997.
4. At that time his followers will cause the guarded walled city and the sacred Temple to
be cast off, and during the end battle the judgment will stun and amaze people.
5. The second civil leader confirms the compact with many for 7 years.
6. Half way between 1997 and 2004 the second civil leader will cause the Roman
Christian religious rites of worshipping Saints to cease.
7. This second civil leader will stun and amaze until the completion.
8. That judgment will pour forth upon the ones being stunned and amazed.
9. The end time of the second civil leader has an associated Flood.

6. Part F Daniel 11:40-45
In section 2 it was confirmed that prescient content regarding Greece and Persia was not only
found in Daniel 11:1-19 (as told to Daniel in 539 BCE) but those ancient descriptions exactly
matched to actual future historical events regarding Persia from 530-187 BCE.
It is therefore reasonable to assume that the remaining verses of Daniel chapter 11 may also
contain prescient content.
Ancient Text
“And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the
north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with
many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. He
shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these
shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of
Ammon. He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt
shall not escape. But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver and over
all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
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 to utterly destroy many. 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.” 12:1a “And at that time shall Michael stand up,
the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people”.

In “and many countries shall be overthrown” the word “countries” is not an original word. It
was added by the Old English scribes who translated the King James Version Bible and is
indicated as such in the text by being displayed in italics. Its addition has changed the context.
Returning to the original gives “many shall be overthrown”.
Hebrew word #3782 “overthrown” means ‘to cast down’, thus ‘many shall be cast down’.

6. Part G Revelation by John Revelation 9:1-11
In the New Testament’s Book of Revelation, verses 9:1-11 in the King James version say
“1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to
him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there
arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were
darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And there came out of the smoke locusts
upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any
green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their
foreheads. 5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should
be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he
striketh a man. 6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall
desire to die, and death shall flee from them. 7 And the shapes of the locusts were like
unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and
their faces were as the faces of men. 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their
teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of
iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to
battle. 10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails and
their power was to hurt men for five months: 11 And they had a king over them, which is
the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the
Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.”

19. and there were stings in their tails
20. and their power was to hurt
During the 1611 CE translation into English and/or when verse breaks were added to the
original manuscript[61], some words were added and some were left out. This forced some
words back into the previous sentence hence changing the context.
The King James Bible (for Rev 9:10-11 in part) says “…and there were stings in their tails: and
their power was to hurt men five months. And they had a king over them, which is the angel of
the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon…”.
When an interlinear text is checked, it is found that the word “the” in 9:10 has not been included
in the translation[62] and an “And” and “who is” have been added to the original words of Rev
9:11.[63]
Returning the text to its original form gives ‘…there were stings in their tails and its power was
to hurt. The men of five months, and they had a king over them, who is the angel of the
bottomless pit…”
21. “The men of five months” (should be part of the next verse).

Revelation 9:11 originally read as

‘The men of five months , they had a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit; its name in the
Hebrew tongue is Abaddon; and in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.’
“in the Greek tongue ” means look in the Greek Lexicon of Strong’s Concordance for the
original ancient meaning of the word in question.
Greek word #623 “Apollyon” means ‘the Destroying One”.
Greek word #3686 “name” means ‘character’ or ‘reputation’.
It is the “bottomless pit” that has the name ‘Abaddon’ in the Hebrew tongue (and not the king).
“in the Hebrew tongue ” means look for the use of the word “Abaddon” in the Hebrew Bible and
use the Hebrew vocalization of that word. (Literally, use your tongue to say the word.)
The term ‘abaddon’ appears six times in the Masoretic text of the Hebrew Bible in Job 26:6,
28:22, 31:12, Psalm 88:11, Proverbs 15:11 and 27:20.
In the Hebrew Lexicon of Strong’s Concordance word #11“Abaddon” has the phonetic spelling
of ‘ab-ad-done’.
In section two of this paper it was found that the word “angel” originally and simply meant ‘a
human messenger’.
22. they had a king over them

23. the messenger of the bottomless pit
24. the king, a human messenger, his reputation is The Destroying One
25. the bottomless pit; its name Ab-ad-done
The general location of this pit named Ab-ad-done is provided in verse 9:14 which states
“Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels whic h are bound in the
great river Euphrates”.
26. by the Euphrates River

7. Part A Nostradamus Century 1 Quatrain 81
In France in 1555 CE, documented in quatrain 81 of century 1, Nostradamus reported that:

“Of the human flock, nine will be set apart from a judgment. The committee will be
separated. The vote will divide the committee members, and take place on 10th August
1990, followed by death, being exiled and scattered”
Historical Search
Consulting a book about the Persian Gulf War[64] gave forth this information:
1990
10 August
“Meeting in emergency session in Cairo, the Arab League considers the deteriorating situation
in the Gulf…demand an immediate withdrawal from Kuwait…and endorse Saudi Arabia’s
request for more American troops. Only 12 members of the 21-member league vote for the
resolution, while Iraq, Libya, and the PLO vote against it, with Yemen and Algeria abstaining.
Tunisia’s representative is not present, and Sudan, Jordan, and Mauritania take no position.”
Discussion
21 subtract 12 leaves “9 being set apart”.
The “Arab League of Nations ” = the human flock.
The “committee” = the 21 member countries.
The “judgment” = the vote.
“9 being set apart” = the member countries of Iraq, Libya, the PLO, Yemen, Algeria, Tunisia,
Sudan, Jordan and Mauritania.
“The vote will divide the committee members” refers to the 12 to 9 vote dividing the members
almost in half.
The ‘death, exile and scattering’ = the results of the 1991 Persian Gulf War in Iraq, where those
Iraqi Kurds who were not killed were scattered and banished to the Turkish mountains.
Findings
12 out of the 12 descriptions reported by Nostradamus back in the mid sixteenth century CE
exactly match to associated characteristics of the Arab League vote on the 10th August 1990 and
subsequent war atrocities in 1991 by Iraq.
Result
Nostradamus has exactly documented a ‘future event’ over 400 years before it occurred.
Conclusion
The search for a modern historical match to prescient content documented in this text of
Nostradamus has yielded a positive result.

A fourth kingdom different to all other kingdoms, subdues three kingdoms.

It is different to the first kingdom. It will:
a. speak words against the Hebrew God
b. afflict saints upon the Hebrew God.
c. change time
d. change laws (of the Hebrew Old Testament)
e. last 1,260 years
and devours the whole earth, treads it down, and breaks it in pieces.
Ten new kings/kingdoms will rise from this fourth kingdom.
Several scholars such as Clifton Emahiser[65] and Larry W. Wilson[66] suggest that the “fourth
beast” is the Roman Catholic Church.
If the Roman Catholic Church is the “fourth kingdom”, then it must have had three earlier
kingdoms that it “subdued”.
Historical Search
Roman history:[67]
Monarchy 800-509 BCE Republic 509BCE-27CE Empire 27-476 CE.
Yes, the Roman Catholic Church superseded three earlier Roman kingdoms.
Was the Roman Catholic Church “different to the first kingdom”?
Yes.
The first kingdom was the Monarchy that was run by a King.
The Roman Catholic Church on the other hand was run by a selected Pope.
Was this “fourth kingdom different to all other kingdoms”?
Yes.
The Monarchy was run by a King. The Republic was run by a government and advised by a
senate. The Empire was run by an autocratic form of government and quickly developed a
position of Emperor who controlled the final decisions, backed up by military force. The Roman
Catholic Church was run by a Pope.
The difference between the first three ‘kingdoms’ and the “fourth” is that the fourth was a
religiously run dominion.

a. From the perspective of Daniel in the sixth century BCE, did the future Catholic Church
speak words against his Hebrew God?
Yes.
They introduced a ‘Son of God’ and made it law to worship the prophet Jesus as a god instead of
the Hebrew god YhWh. They then wrote their own version of the Bible (the Vulgate 404 CE).
b. Did they afflict Saints upon the Hebrew God? Yes.
c. Did they change time? Yes.
Pope Gregory XIII introduced the Gregorian Calendar.

Thursday Oct 4 1582 was followed by Friday Oct 15 1582.
Time itself was literally changed by 11 days !
d. Did they change laws? Yes.
The Roman Emperors and subsequent Popes introduced their own religious Doctrines and Laws.
Concluding in 1563, the Council of Trent passed numerous disciplinary decrees as well as
doctrinal decisions such as the doctrine of Justification; the extent of the Canon of the Scriptures
and the authenticity of the Vulgate; the theology of the Sacraments, especially those of the
Eucharist and Marriage; Purgatory; the Veneration of the Saints; and Indulgences.
e. Did the Roman Church last 1,260 years?
Historical Search
After the Western Empire was dissolved in 476 CE, Rome itself fell in 546.[68]
King Charlemagne gave his new kingdom the name Roman Empire in 800.
Otto the Great of Saxony also gave his kingdom the name Roman Empire in 962.
This lasted until 1806 and was renamed the Holy Roman Empire in the 12th century.
Thus from the fall of Rome in 546 CE (which was after the third Roman ‘kingdom’ called the
Empire) until the end of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806 was 1,260 years.
(1806 subtract 546 = 1260)
Did this Holy Roman Catholic Church “devour the whole earth, tread it down, and break it in
pieces”?
Yes
“devour the whole earth” = the spread of the Catholic religion around the world.
“tread it down” = the forced religious values of this Church on the world's various populations
via such avenues as the inquisitions.

“break it in pieces” = the many religious wars fought by the Holy Roman Catholic Church and
the deliberate destruction of cultures such as the Inca of South America.
Did “Ten new kings/kingdoms rise from the Holy Roman Christian Church”?
Yes.
From after the Great Schism of the 11th century and through the Reformation of the 15th and
16th centuries, different denominations of Christians split away from the Roman Catholic type
of Christianity.
The “ten kings /kingdoms” = new denominations = Waldensian 1184, Lutherans 1517,
Anglicans 1536, Episcopalians, Presbyterians c.1559, Quakers 1600s, Baptists 1609,
Congregationalists 1620, Mennonites 1683, and Methodists 1700s.[69]
(Amish and Calvanists are excluded from this list as they were sub- groups derived from the
Mennonites and Lutherans respectively.)
Findings
A fourth kingdom different to all other kingdoms Yes
Subdued three kingdoms Yes
It is different to the first kingdom. It will: Yes
a. speak words against the Hebrew God Yes
b. afflict saints upon the Hebrew God Yes
c. change time Yes
d. change laws (of the Hebrew Old Testament) Yes
e. last 1,260 years Yes
Devoured the whole earth Yes
Trode it down Yes
Broke it in pieces Yes
Ten new kingdoms will rise from this fourth kingdom Yes
Results
12 out of the 12 descriptions given by the human messenger Gabriel to Daniel back in the mid
sixth century BCE exactly match to the activities and characteristics of the Holy Roman
Catholic Church.
Conclusion
The search for modern historical matches to prescient content documented in Daniel 7:23-25 has
yielded positive results.

7. Part C Daniel 9:24-25, 10:21
The human messenger Gabriel told Daniel, who was exiled in Babylon in the mid sixth century
BCE, of these future events:
A. From the commandment to restore and to build Israel (with the streets and walls being
rebuilt after a war) Michael appears 49 years later.
B. The same historical person (civil leader) named Michael, 434 years after 1563 knows
what is written and sealed in the Torah, and it is disputed.
1. Calculation 1: 1563 plus 434 years = 1997.
2. Historical Search
“the commandment to restore and to build Israel” = the declaration in May 1948 to locate the
new State of Israel in Palestine.
“The streets and walls being rebuilt after a war” = the Arab–Israeli war that started immediately
the State of Israel came into being (in May 1948), and in spite of this war the streets and walls
were eventually rebuilt.
4. Calculation 2: 1948 plus 49 years = 1997.
Result:
The year 1997 is confirmed a second time as the date described and told to Daniel by Gabriel.
So, was there a person called Michael who, in 1997, knew what was written and sealed in the
Torah, and was it then disputed?
May 1997
The publishing of “The Bible Code”[70] book by Michael Drosnin told the world of a code
within the Bible that when used, produces historical data from within the original Hebrew letters
of Genesis.
From the time his book was published, Michael’s conclusions were disputed.[71]
Findings
Two start dates with two time periods derive 1997.
The name Michael is correct.
A Bible Code is ‘sealed and noted’ within the words of Genesis (a work by Moses).
Michael Drosnin’s conclusions were disputed.

Results
10 attributes match 10 descriptions of actual historical events.
Conclusion
The search for modern historical matches to prescie nt content documented in Daniel 9:24-25
and 10:21 has yielded positive results.
7. Part D Daniel 9:26-27
The human messenger Gabriel, in the mid sixth century BCE, continued to tell Daniel of
subsequent future events:

2. A second civil leader appears.
3. The end comes 7 years after 1997.
4. At that time his followers will cause the guarded walled city and the sacred Temple to
be cast off, and during the end battle their judgment will stun and amaze people.
5. The second civil leader confirms the compact with many for 7 years.
6. Half way between 1997 and 2004 the second civil leader will cause the Roman
Christian religious rites of worshipping Saints to cease.
7. This second civil leader will stun and amaze until the completion.
8. That judgment will pour forth upon the ones being stunned and amazed.
9. The end time of the second civil leader has an associated Flood.
This provides a general Time Chart
Historical Search
Michael Drosnin wrote a total of three “Bible Code” books,[72][73][74] the first being
published in 1997. He later appeared on the Oprah Winfrey television show. Immediately,
scholars such as Brendan Mckay criticized and disputed his findings. In a Newsweek interview
on June 9 1997, Drosnin issued a challenge: “When my critics find a message about the
assassination of a prime minister encrypted in Moby Dick, I'll believe them. ”
Many examples of this nature were in fact found in Moby Dick.[75] This was the first of three
things that wrecked Drosnin’s credibility, but it did not stop him writing his next two books. The

second was when he stated that he didn't believe in God[76], but rather believed that
extraterrestrial aliens[77] put the encoded predictions in the Hebrew Bible. The third related to
his predictions that the years 2000 and 2006 matched ‘atomic holocaust’ and ‘World War’.[78]
Nothing happened as he predicted in those years.
Findings
Although Michael Drosnin wrote three books, only the first one in 1997 astounded the world.
The following two books did not have the same impact because his critics had already cut him
down with facts in response to his challenge. What he predicted did not come to pass.
Result
4 out of 4. Date, name, and two described events match.
After the publishing of his book in 1997, Michael Drosnin had no credibility and his prediction
claims came to nothing.
Conclusion
Item 1 of the prescient content documented in Daniel 9:26-27 has yielded a positive result.
Historical Searches 2 to 9
While a general year date can be derived and there are clear descriptions of what is going to
occur, there is not enough information (here in the Book of Daniel) provided to calculate
specific dates or identify the second modern historical person.
Historical searches for items 2 to 9 of the prescient content documented in Daniel 9:26-27 can
not be effectively conducted.
Result: A negative result is declared.
** Supplementary Information **
The concept of two historical people associated with codes in the Bible is repeated in the New
Testament’s Book of Revelation. Instead of being referred to as ‘civil leaders’ they are called
“two witnesses”.
Rev 11:3 states “I will give power unto my two witnesses” and gives the time period between
them as “they shall prophesy 1,260 days” with Rev 12:7 naming the first witness as “Michael”.
That “1,260 days” is the missing information required to resolve Daniel 9:26-27.
Australian researcher Ronald Pegg added these Revelation descriptions to the time chart
generated in Daniel 9:26-27 and eventually discovered the identity of the second witness/second
civil leader. Further research matched the remaining Daniel and Revelation prescient content
descriptions to actual historical events.[79][80][81]

This chart gives an indication of the chronology of events matched to ancient descriptions.
As this paper is specifically seeking time travellers described in ancient texts, Pegg’s
comprehensive findings [82] regarding the events and people of this time chart and other
associated Bible mysteries are not included herein.
7. Part E Daniel 11:40-45
Previously in this paper, for Daniel 9:21-27 its prescient content was found to be dated to the
1990s, so chronologically it is logical to assume the same era for these verses, being the late
20th century.
The Book of Daniel is set in Babylon from 603 BCE in regards to its then king, Nebuchadnezzar
who was told about his future, the coming of future kingdoms, and wars (Daniel chapters 1 to
4). The verses under study here relate a particular ‘end time’ war with countries that were within
the boundaries of ancient Babylon (as known to Daniel, and as told to him by the messenger
Gabriel).
Daniel was captive in Babylon in mid sixth century BCE when he was told of future events
regarding king Nebuchadnezzar and Babylon. Around
him the Neo-Babylonian Empire was coming to an end
(626-539 BCE).
The extent of this empire
includes the modern
territories of Iraq,
Kuwait, Syria, Turkey,
Egypt, Saudi Arabia,
Jordan, Iran, Lebanon,
Palestinian Authority,
Israel and Cyprus.[83]
Neo-Babylonian Empire 626-539 BCE
...Modern map of the Middle East

Daniel 11:40
“And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north
shall come against him…”
Consulting the two maps on the previous page, of the countries that fall within the old empire,
only ‘Lebanon and Israel’ along with ‘Iraq and Kuwait’ have exclusive north-south borders. The
other countries are excluded because they either share borders or the whole modern country is
not within the old empire’s boundary.
So, in Daniel 11:40-45 the prescient content relates to a war in the late 20th century between
either Lebanon and Israel or Iraq and Kuwait.
Investigation 1. Lebanon versus Israel
Daniel 11:40-45 (extractions)

shall come against him like a whirlwind…..and he shall enter into the countries.....He shall
enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown…He shall stretch
forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape….”
If the “king of north” = Lebanon, then it attacks Israel (the glorious land) and Egypt.
Historical Searches
- .1948 Arab–Israeli War
A combined invasion by Egypt, Jordan and Syria, together with expeditionary forces from Iraq,
entered Palestine and attacked the new State of Israel.
Egypt was not attacked by Lebanon thus this is not the modern war described by the prescient
content.
- .1982 Lebanon War

On 6 June 1982 the Israel Defence Forces invaded southern Lebanon.
The southern country attacked and entered the northern country, thus this is not the modern war
described by the prescient content.
- .2006 Lebanon War

This was a 34 day military conflict in Lebanon, northern Israel and the Golan Heights.
While this involved Lebanon and Israel, Egypt was not attacked, thus this is not the modern war
described by the prescient content.
Result
No matches with actual historical events produce a negative result, thus this fails validation.

Conclusion
The prescient content in Daniel 11:40-45 is not about a future Lebanese/Israeli conflict.
Investigation 2. Iraq versus Kuwait
In this paper, Daniel 7:23-25 and 9:24-25 derived historical matches from 6th century BCE to
the 1700s CE and 1563 CE to 1997 CE respectively, with Daniel 11:1-19 describing actual
(future) historical events regarding Babylon from 6th century BCE to 187 BCE.
Overall, Daniel chapters 7 to 10 related events chronologically from the 6th century BCE to the
late 20th century CE with Daniel chapters 11 and 12 providing a summary of similarly described
events. It is therefore reasonable to deduce that the later verses of Daniel chapter 11 continue
this chronology and reflect prescient content up to the late 20th century.
shall come against him like a whirlwind” (Dan 11:40).
Hebrew word #8175 “whirlwind” means ‘come like a whirlwind’. Over water such an event is
called a tropical storm, while over sand it is called a desert storm. As Babylon is over land, the
term desert storm would be more appropriate.
Did Iraq (north) come against Kuwait (south) like a desert storm in the late 20th century?
I conducted a quick internet search using the terms “Iraq Kuwait war” and found that in
1990/1991 there was a war between Iraq and Kuwait that included a military operation called
“Desert Storm”.
As this passed validation, I grabbed several history books* and commenced to seek out any
further matching data.

frame of Michael Drosnin ‘standing up’ (and being introduced to a code in the Bible).
Conclusion
The search for modern historical matches to prescient content documented in Daniel 11:40-45
has yielded positive results.

7. Part F Revelation by John Revelation 9:2-11

An unnamed messenger had visited John on the island of Patmos in 95 CE and showed him
various images from a certain ‘book’ that cont ained future information. What John then noted in
chapter 9 of the Book of Revelation was about a certain ‘end time’ war.
As this is very similar to what Daniel noted during his encounter with the visitor Gabriel, it is
logical to assume that the war noted by John may be the same as that described by Daniel (Dan
11:40-45). So utilizing the same history books as the previous investigation I began to search for
matches to the extracted described prescient content:
1, 25, 26. The bottomless pit, by the Euphrates river is named Ab-ad-done
During the 1991 Persian Gulf War Coalition ships were located in the Persian Gulf from which
they launched cruise missiles against Iraqi targets. The Euphrates River drains into this gulf.
Nearby is the island of Abadan upon which is located the Abadan oil refinery. Its oil tanks are
surrounded by levied pits.
The “pit, by the Euphrates river is named Ab-ad-done” = the Abadan oil pits are by the
Euphrates River.
Located to the south-south-west of Abadan island is the country of Kuwait. Iraq invaded it on
2nd August 1990. Kuwait had oil wells which Iraqi troops deliberately set on fire. Once alight
they burnt like roaring furnaces with thick acrid black smoke being hurled into the atmosphere.
Historical Search [ttjh p725, February 1991]

Iraq sets fire to about one-half of Kuwait’s 1,000 oil wells.
2. arose a smoke out of the pit

3. the smoke of a great furnace
= the oil wells on fire, burning like furnaces, sending up black smoke.
4. the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit
= the effect of those oil fires. The sun could not be seen through the smoke.
5. locusts upon the earth = the tanks and soldiers of the ground war.
6. and unto them was given power = the military might of these men and machines.
7. it was commanded that they should hurt only those men who were Muslim
= during the war Coalition troops fought against Iraqi troops who were of the Muslim Faith.

8. but they should not kill them for five months
Iraq invaded Kuwait on August 2 1990. The United Nations gave Iraq the deadline of midnight

The “five months of torment (during which they would not be killed)” refers to the five months
between the invasion of Kuwait in Aug 1990 and the passing over of the deadline in Jan 1991.

Findings and Results

26 out of the 26 descriptions given by John back in 95 CE exactly match to activities and
characteristics of the 1990/1991 Persian Gulf War.
Conclusion
The search for modern historical matches to prescient content documented in Revelation 9:2-11
has yielded positive results.

Results
The traditional meaning and concept of particular “angels” in the Bible were found to be
incorrect. Consulting the Hebrew Lexicon in Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance for the word
“angel” revealed that in ancient times that emotive word simply meant ‘a human male’ and did
not originally have a supernatural context.
Some particular human males (angels) in the Bible were reported as giving ‘future information’
to ancient people. In some accounts where the term “angel” was not directly used to report the
associated event, simply ‘elders’ or ‘a man’ was said to be present.
Six of the eight texts examined herein documented such a human male as being present. Three
of those texts, from three different times and from three different countries, named the same
human male as “Gabriel”.
Of five potentially named time travellers investigated, three failed validation due to no
supportive evidence (Ezekiel, Daniel and John, the Bible), one was rejected due to inconclusive
associated proof (Moroni, the Book of Mormon), and the last with supportive evidence, Gabriel
(Old Testament, New Testament, and Qur’an), gave a positive result.
In this paper a male human time traveller (named or un-named) was referred to as ‘a visitor’.
‘Prescient content’ was defined as “descriptions of future events in ancient texts and,
descriptions of future technology in ancient manuscripts or in other ancient works”.
Section 4 summarized a comprehensive Search Criterion containing thirty separate attributes. It

included key points such as the text itself, the writer of that text, whether a visitor was reported
as being present, did that visitor tell of future events, was any prescient content documented by
the writer, and can that prescient content be exactly matched to actual historical events.
Selected ancient texts were first subjected to validation regarding the historical person, the text,
and the visitor. Texts examined that failed search criterion validation were:
Gospel of Luke (New Testament); and (from the Old Testament) Hosea, Joel, Amos,
Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Malachi, Isaiah,
Jeremiah, Zechariah and Ezekiel; and The Book of Mormon.
Texts that passed validation: The Qur'an, Nostradamus, Daniel and Revelation.
Next, those four texts were subjected to prescient content validation.
The Qur’an failed at this point, and was eliminated from the study.
165 Results
The other three passed validation, and specific verses extracted from them were:
Nostradamus, Century 1 Quatrain 81

Daniel 7:23-25, 9:24-25, 9:26-27 and 11:40-45
Revelation 9:2-11
Their extracted and compiled prescient content was then checked to history books.
Nostradamus, Century 1 Quatrain 81

12 out of 12 descriptions matched to a recorded modern historical event.
Daniel 7:23-25
12 out of 12 descriptions matched to recorded modern historical events and activities.
Daniel 9:24-25
10 attributes matched 10 descriptions of actual historical events that culminated in a
modern person named Michael being identified.
Daniel 9:26a
4 out of 4 descriptions matched to recorded modern historical events involving the
named and identified modern person Michael.
Daniel 9:26b-27
A negative result was declared. An attempt to match over 20 descriptions to modern
historical events was not conducted, as a start date was not included in the original text.
Daniel 11:40-45
29 out of 29 descriptions matched to the activities and characteristics of the 1990/1991
Persian Gulf War. This datable historical event supplied the general time frame for when
the identified Michael commenced his activities (Daniel 12:1).
Revelation 9:2-11
26 out of 26 descriptions matched to activities and characteristics of the 1990/1991
Persian Gulf War.
During the several validation stages, other individual positive outcomes were attained for certain
parts of the search criterion. A table of results for all thirty search criterion components for the
eight main texts examined can be found in the Tables sectio n. Some significant ones that were
just outside the scope of this study are presented next.

Unexpected Discoveries
An apparatus (‘throne’ or an ‘altar’) and/or artifacts (a ‘book’ or ‘vessels’) were either used,
held or shown to an ancient person by a visitor, with associated “visions” then being reported
and documented by the ancient person.
Although failing prescient content validation in section 3 C, associated data indicated some form
of time travel by a messenger named “Moroni” (reported in the Book of Mormon) who carried
the same artifacts (Urim and Thummim) to 1827 CE that were present in an earlier time (1230
BCE).
During the investigation process reported in section 5 Part D regarding Daniel and the time
traveller named Gabriel, it was found that Gabriel was carrying some form of apparatus called a
“throne” (Dan 7:9) and that Daniel had “visions” of the future from it. Elsewhere (in the Book
of Daniel) we are told that King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon in 605 BCE took “vessels” from
the Jerusalem Temple (Dan 1:2 and 5:2) and subsequently he too had “visions”.
Those ‘temple vessels’ were the ones placed in the Jerusalem Temple by Moses (the two tablets
of testimony, Exodus 32:15), which links to the later Mormon account of those artifacts (Urim
and Thummim) again being seen in 1827 CE.
In Section 5 Part E it was discovered that John (writer of Revelation, New Testament ) was told
specific future information by an un-named human male visitor. During his encounter, John also
reported some form of apparatus present as a “throne” and a certain “book with seven seals that
was read from within” (Rev 5:1). He also reported having a “vision” of the future (Rev 9:17).
Although the Book of Ezekiel (Old Testament) examined in section 5 Part C2 did not pass
validation for prescient content, during the investigation it was found that Ezekiel was also
visited by an un-named human male. He too reported some form of apparatus present, being an
“altar” (Ezk 40:47), and a certain “roll of a book” (Ezk 2:9) in the visitor’s hand, from which he
had “visions” of the future (Ezk 43:2).
While doing background research on Nostradamus in section 5 Part F it was discovered that he
also employed an apparatus, that he described as ‘a saddle in the air’[89] from which he gained
“visions” of the future. (French: “la selle d'aerain” on line 2, C1.Q1)

Discussion
The task of searching ancient texts for evidence of time travellers immediately produced several
hurdles. Many of the texts examined are deemed sacred by many of the world’s religious groups
and we are told not to question their content, interpretation or translation. Disregarding this and
to give each of the texts a fair hearing for this study, I decided to remove the ‘religious bias and
associated concepts’ from my readings. By this I mean I treated them all the same – I read them
all at face value and took little notice of traditional religious interpretations and what others
wanted me to believe their text says – I let the words themselves reveal what happened back in
the past, as recorded by the ancient writer.
Ø Time Travellers back in the past
It is traditionally understood that “angels” are attributed as giving ‘future information’ to certain
prophets, with those “angels” being religiously associated with a supernatural God. But in
reality, by consulting the Hebrew Lexicon in Strong’s Concordance for the original meaning, it
is revealed that the traditional meaning and concept of an “angel” is incorrect.
Using the primary listed meaning for “angel” instead of the secondary religious one, it became
clear that the contents of ancient accounts were simply documenting encounters with ‘human
males’ telling past people about things of the future.
As human males are documented back in the past relating knowledge of future events, they
themselves had to have come from a time after those future events occurred. Somehow, they
travelled back through time, thus the term ‘time travellers’ can be applied to them.
Evidence of ‘time travellers’ has remained elusive because the ir presence back in ancient times
has been concealed in many cases by the mistranslation and traditional understanding of the
word “angel” (and other associated misrepresented concepts). We now know what to look for.
Ø A named Time Traveller
In three ancient texts from three separate time periods, the same human male messenger (angel)
is mentioned: the Old Testament’s Book of Daniel (539 BCE); the New Testament’s Gospel of
Luke (5 CE); and in the Qur’an (Muslim Faith, from 610 CE). He has the name ‘Gabriel’.
It was presumed that this time traveller could return to his time of origin after each visit.
As the lifespan of a normal living human male does not span 500 to 1,100 years, “Gabriel” was
identified as the name of one particular human male time traveller. This person is documented
as being present with and speaking to the ancient writer Daniel (Hebrew Bible, Book of Daniel)
and telling him of ‘future things’ (called ‘prescient content’ in this paper).
168 Discussion
Ø Known Prescient Content
Prior to this paper, a precedent had already been set where it was confirmed that an ancient text
contained information of the future told to an ancient person by (the angel) Gabriel. Prescient
content has not only been previously recognized in an ancient text by other scholars (in the Old
Testament, 539 BCE, Book of Daniel, verses 11:2-11), but those ancient descriptions have also
previously been exactly matched to specific ‘future’ historical events (of 530-187 BCE).
A summary of this can be found in the Appendix.
So now, it can be confirmed that specifically, the future history of the years 530-187 BCE was
told to Daniel in Babylon in 539 BCE by a time traveller named Gabriel, before the events
occurred. The reality that a human time traveller named Gabriel visited Daniel (and not a divine
messenger of God) has been hidden for thousands of years beneath the religiously mistranslated
word “angel” and associated religious concepts. The implications from this will directly impact
upon three of the world’s major religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
But there may be a problem with this deduction. Some scholars argue that Daniel verses 11:1-11
were written after the events, sometime around 167-165 BCE in Palestine.[90] While this
study’s findings do not resolve or address this specific issue of when the text was written,
supportive evidence was found that shows Gabriel was indeed a time traveller who told Daniel
of future historical events.
Ø Modern Historical Events described in the Book of Daniel
The results from six sets of Daniel verses examined gave an overall positive outcome for
‘ancient descriptions matching exactly to modern historical events’. Five supported the
validation criterion while one failed. Each of the five achieved a one hundred percent match
(overall 56 out of 56) while the one failed with zero percent (0 out of 20).
The five 100% match rates were not expected. These results may perplex skeptics who often
dismiss religious texts as just fairy tales and similarly antagonize religious people who may not
want to confront new findings regarding their sacred texts.
In Dan 7:23-25, 12 of 12 descriptions from 3 verses matched to historical events.
In Dan 9:24-25, 10 of 10 from 2 verses matched, including a named person being identified.
In Dan 9:26a, 4 of 4 from 1 verse matched, including two events by the named person.
In Dan 11:40-45, 30 of 30 from 6 verses matched to 1990/1991 Persian Gulf War events.
For Daniel verses 9:26b-27, 0 of 20 descriptions from the 2 verses derived a negative result
because a historical search could not be conducted due to the lack of specific dating information.
Ø Modern Historical Events described in other Ancient Texts
While the five positive outcomes support the verdict that the Old Testament’s Book of Daniel
documents a human time traveller named Gabriel telling him of future historical events, it is not
the only text that records encounters back in the past with human time travellers (aka ‘angels’).
169 Discussion
The main purpose of this study was to seek definitive evidence for whether ‘ancient texts
document time travellers from the future’. For this to be confirmed in the positive, the text had
to comply to ALL of the following: be a firsthand account AND be by a known historical person
AND a time traveller physically needs to be present AND associated prescient content needs to
be present in that ancient text AND that prescient content needs to exactly match to modern
historical events documented in history books.
The following table presents the findings for these five search crit erion Key Points
Known historical Person Smith J Zechariah Mohammed Nostradamus Ezekiel Daniel John
Own firsthand account Y Y Y Y Y Y Y
Visitor physically present Y Y Y Y Y Y
Prescient Content in text N Y vague Y vague Y Y
Matches Modern Events No Yes Yes Yes
While the ancient person Zechariah himself validates (as he personally encountered a visitor),
the text itself is an account about him and was written by another person. As that third party’s
identity and the text’s time written can no t be confirmed, Zechariah (OT) as a text was excluded.
Only two texts validate with a positive outcome for all five required criterion: the Book of
Daniel (OT); and the Book of Revelation (NT, written by John). As an example, both texts
document the 1991 Persian Gulf War.
Ø Two Time Travellers
As two visitors to the past (named ‘Gabriel’ by Daniel (539 BCE), but un- named in 95 CE by
John) had knowledge of late 20th century historical events, they would have had to have lived in
some time after that era to personally know of that information (past history to them). Those
visitors, being reported as physically present back in the past and relating that same future
information to ancient persons, indicates that they have, somehow, travelled back in time.
The results of this study in relation to the sacred texts studied provides new knowledge of the
past and supplies explanations to questions that religious scholars have missed and have been
unable to answer for over two thousand years.
Ø Apparatus and Visions
Regarding the data in the above search criterion Key Point table, while only two ancient texts
derived an outcome of 5 out of 5 (Daniel, OT and Revelation, NT), it can be observed that
another text gave a 4 out of 5 (Nostradamus, Century 1 Quatrain 81). This third text also
includes a positive result for ancient descriptions matching to a modern historical event. In this
latter case there was no time traveller present but instead an ‘apparatus’ (a saddle) was reported
as being utilized.
170 Discussion
In contrast to the Daniel and Revelation findings where a time traveller personally told Daniel
and John of future events and people, the Nostradamus investigation found that ‘an apparatus’
supplied him with his future information. Although previously not seen as significant, when
similar findings concerning an ‘apparatus’ were then noted from other texts during the
investigation stage of this paper, new connections appeared. They became obvious once all
results were placed in table form.
Here is an extract from the Search Criterion Table Results (from the Tables section).

Apparatus present ? Y Y Y Y Y
All five historical people report an ‘apparatus’ being present in their firsthand accounts. Four of
them extensively report seeing “visions” (of the future). Four of them report that the time
traveller was holding an ‘artifact’, with three of them noting that it was given to them to look at,
with three given instructions to write down what they saw.
Smith names the ‘artifacts’ as the Urim and Thummim, Ezekiel and John call them ‘books’,
Daniel refers to them as ‘vessels’, and Nostradamus describes them as ‘wheels’[91].
Smith names the ‘apparatus’ as ‘seer stones’, Daniel and John call it a ‘throne’ with Ezekiel
calling it an ‘altar’, and Nostradamus describes it as ‘a saddle in the air’.
Ezekiel, Daniel, John and Nostradamus each then report and extensively describe their “visions”
of the future (that they witnessed).
Regarding the findings relating to an apparatus, artifacts, and visions, I surmize that: a time
traveller went back to the past to many different times and to different countries, and not only
told the ancient persons of future events, but using an apparatus associated with two artifacts,
the time traveller (except for Smith and Nostradamus who used it themselves) showed the
ancient persons future information (in image form) which they then faithfully described in their
own firsthand accounts as visions.
I intend to investigate this hypothesis as soon as I am able.[92][93]
171 Discussion
Conclusion
This study generated enough supportive evidence to demonstrate that:
• time travel back to the past has taken place;

• certain ancient texts document specific modern events; and
• one particular human time traveller was named Gabriel.
In response to the matter of “Do ancient texts document time travellers from the future?” the
findings show an emphatic Yes.
Two ancient texts (Book of Daniel, Old Testament and Book of Revelation, New Testament)
written by known historical persons (Daniel 603-536 BCE and John 95 CE), each document at
least one human male being present who related descriptions of ‘future historical events’ to
them, and when compared to modern history books, some of their written accounts of ‘future
things’ exactly match to specific recorded modern events of the late 20th century.
Thus, for known late 20th century historical events to have been documented in texts from the
past signifies that someone from a future time went back to the earlier time with that 20th
century historical knowledge.
This by definition describes the concept of ‘Time Travel’ back to the past.
In one case (the Daniel encounters) the human male time traveller was named Gabriel.
Regarding the issue “Do ancient texts document future historical events?” the answer is also a
definite Yes.
Both the Book of Daniel (OT) and the Book of Revelation (NT) gave positive results. For
example, both ancient texts describe various events associated with the 1991 Persian Gulf War.
A third text gave a positive result as well - by exact date (also involving that early 1990s war).
One of the quatrains (c1.q81) from “The Centuries” by Nostradamus (Michel de Nostredame
1503–1566, France) exactly described the August 10th 1990 vote by the Arab League (which
significantly, for the first time in history, voted to go to war against another Arab nation).
These positive results reveal that time travel back to the past has taken place, and has been done
so by human ma les. These findings provide explanations to questions that religious scholars
have overlooked and have been unable to answer for over two thousand years.
This new knowledge will induce a whole new sphere of study and precipitate a change in
thinking, both in the scientific and religious worlds.

Appendix Validated Prescient Content in Daniel 11:1-19
Scholars[100][101][102] have found that prescient content in the Old Testament’s Book of
Daniel exactly matches to actual historical events as documented in history books.
Claim: Daniel 11:1-19 contain descriptions of future events (of 530-187 BCE), written down
by Daniel as told to him in 539 BCE by a messenger (named Gabriel).
Investigation: List source, extract prescient content, then check descriptions to history books.
Book of Daniel, Hebrew Old Testament, King James Version.

Dan 11:1
“Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood to confirm and to strengthen him.”
The text itself provides the date that the future information was related to Daniel by the
messenger.
“the first year of Darius the Mede” = circa 539 BCE.

Thus the ‘messenger’, while visiting Daniel, told him of ‘future’ historical information at that
time.
Dan 11:2
“And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and
the fourth shall be far richer than all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all
against the realm of Grecia.”
Extracted prescient content:

a. there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia
b. and the fourth shall be far richer than all
c. he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.

Historical Search: ‘next three kings (after circa 539 BCE)’
Source: Grolier cd-rom[103]. Ancient Persia listing, The Achaemenids heading.
Cambyses II, Smerdis the usurper (aka. Gaumâta), and Darius I Hystaspes.
(The dates for these three were 530-522 BCE, 522 BCE and 522-486 BCE respectively.)
b. and c.
Historical Search: ‘fourth king who stirred up Grecia’
Source: Grolier cd-rom[103]. Ancient Persia listing, The Achaemenids heading.
Xerxes I went to war with, but was defeated by the Greeks. (Date: 486-464 BCE)
Note: Alexander the Great was the last person cited in the information of this Grolier heading.
The remaining verses are presented in a simple summary format.
179 Appendix
Dan 11:3
“And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his
will.”
“A mighty king” = Alexander the Great, 331-323 BCE
Dan 11:4
“And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four
winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his
kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.”
“his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven” = his
kingdom after his death was divided into four parts.
1) North: Seleucus I - who began the Seleucid (Syrian) empire, from Turkey to India.
2) West: Cassander - who took over Macedonia (Greece).
3) East: Lysimachus - who took Thracia (between Greece and Turkey).
4) South: Ptolemy I - who ruled over Egypt.
Dan 11:5
“And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above
him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.”
After the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE., the throne of Egypt fell to Ptolemy I (Soter)
(323-285 BCE).
“One of his princes” = Seleucus Nicator 312-281 BCE who also rose to power, and took over
the region of Syria. He eventually became more powerful than his former Egyptian ruler.
Dan 11:6
“And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter of the south
shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of
the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought
her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times.”
“The daughter of the king of the south” = Berenice II, daughter of Ptolemy II Philadelphus.
“The king of the north” = Antiochus II Theos (261-246 BCE).
Two years after the ir marriage, Berenice's father (Ptolemy Philadelphus) died.
Antiochus restored Laodice and put away Berenice.
He was then poisoned by Laodice.
Berenice fled with her children to Daphne where she was killed.
Dan 11:7
“But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an
army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and
shall prevail.”
180 Appendix
A “branch of her roots” will come with an army = Berenice's brother, Ptolemy III Euregetes,
“the king of the south”.
“The king of the north” = Seleucus II Kallinikos, son of Laodice who was defeated in a later
invasion of Egypt. He lost most of Asia Minor along with losing to the military expansion of
Ptolemy III who put his mother, Laodice, to death.
Dan 11:8-9
“And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious
vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north. So the
king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.”
Ptolemy III returned to Egypt with the spoils of war.

Ptolemy III (king of the south) outlived Seleucus II (king of the north) by four years.
Dan 11:10-12
“But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall
certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to
his fortress. And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight
with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the
multitude shall be given into his hand. When he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall
be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened.”
“His sons” = Seleuc us III Ceraunus and Antiochus III the Great.
“The king of the north” = Antiochus III, the Great.
“The king of the south” = Ptolemy IV Philopator (221-204 BCE).
Ptolemy IV defeated the much larger army of Antiochus III at the Battle of Raphia in 217BCE.
Dan 11:13
“For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former,
and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.”
“The king of the north” = Antiochus III.

In about 201BC he returned to Palestine with a much larger army and was able to repulse the
Egyptians.
Dan 11:14
“And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of
thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.”
“The king of the south” = Ptolemy V Epiphanes (203-181 BCE).

At this time, many of the Egyptians began rebelling against the ruling Grecian family and began
rioting and defying them.
Dan 11:15
“So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and
the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any
strength to withstand.”
181 Appendix
“The king of the north” = Antiochus III the Great.

The “fenced city” = Sidon, which Antiochus captured in 203 BCE
Dan 11:16
“But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before
him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.”
After a period of one hundred years, Palestine again changed hands. The Seleucid king,
Antiochus III, took control of Palestine c. 200 BCE.
Dan 11:17
“He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones
with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but
she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.”
Antiochus III the Great sought to gain full possession of Egypt during the years 198-195 BCE.
He gives his daughter Cleopatra I to Ptolemy V, in hopes of permanent influence in Egypt in
192 BCE.
Dan 11:18
“After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own
behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall
cause it to turn upon him.”
Antiochus III “took many” of the isles in the Ægean in his war with the Romans.
“prince” = Lucius Cornelius, the Roman general.
The Romans humbled Antiochus III at Thermopylae (191 BCE) and again at Magnesia (190
BCE).
Dan 11:19
“Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and
not be found.”
Subsequently, Antiochus III was forced to campaign within his own lands to stop his satraps
from declaring themselves independent rulers. He was slain by his own people in 187 BCE. This
brought an end of the period of greatness for the Seleucid Empire.
Findings
43 attributes of prescient content noted in 19 verses by Daniel exactly match to 43 real historical
events as found documented in history books.
Result
This produces a positive result which validates the claim.
Conclusion
The Old Testament’s Book of Daniel verses 11:1-19 do in fact contain descriptions of future
events (of 530-187 BCE), written down by Daniel as told to him earlier in 539 BCE by a
messenger.
