And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days. And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king’s business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.(Daniel 8:23-27)
The vision of Daniel 8 is a vision for the very end of days, a time described as being “When the Transgressors are come to the full…”. In the near future of Daniel, the prophecy came to partial fulfillment when the apostasy of Israel was so severe, the office of the High Priest was sold, the high priest took on a Greek name, and the holy nation became hellenized, embracing greek culture, the worship of the male body, the acceptance of homosexuality, the repudiation of the law and the prophets by all but a few pious ones, and the persecution of the remnant.
It was when this transgression came to its head that the LORD allowed Antiochus Epiphanes to partially subjugate and persecute Israel, even to the point of all0wing him to desecrate the Holy Place in the Temple of God.
But those horrifying days were only a partial fulfillment, the ultimate fulfillment of these scriptures is soon to commence.
How much further can the world descend, in this the closing of the Christian era? Is there anything left to blaspheme? What comes after the widespread promotion of abortion and homosexuality? How much further can the confessing church of Jesus descend, embracing homosexuals,Muslims and even atheists as “seekers” and in some cases as ministers?
Has our own transgression yet come to the full?
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.( 2 Timothy 3:1-5)
We currently live in the days of Noah, a time of unprecedented violence, pornography, rebellion against all authority, (see Charlotte, Baltimore, Malmo, Damascus, London, etc). People rioting and assaulting random strangers actually feel justified in their violence as they protest in the streets! Muslims actually believe that they are doing God’s service when they kill innocent people in cities all over the world.
Our leaders in the West ignore maimings, rapes, knife attacks and even bombings of their own population by Muslims, as they open the gates to the Barbarian invaders and cover up any unfavorable stories which cast light on their policies. After a weekend of such Mayhem here in America, Obama only doubles down on his pledge to bring in more than a hundred thousand more of these potential terrorists!
These are the days of Lot, a time when Homosexuals are so emboldened they actually have “Gay pride days” marching down the streets of major cities across the Western world. Incredibly, many “straight people” actually bring their families and little children down to see these appalling spectacles. The “Gays” are vicious, vengeful destroying any who speak out against them.Homosexuality and other perversions are actually encoded in Western law now!
Even after the exposure that Planned parenthood was selling body parts of defenseless babies, in some cases preserving them alive as they performed hideous abortions on them, so that a heart, liver or brain could be preserved, our leaders have only doubled down making sure Planned Parenthood’s abortion mills are well funded with taxpayer money, and her critics are silenced.
Our own President’s response to the horrifying revelation, was a public “God Bless you Planned Parenthood! You are not going to be closed as long as I am around!”.
What I am saying is what Daniel was saying…The AntiChrist will be revealed in a time when the Transgressors have come to the full…when the cup of iniquity has filled, and the time has come to Judge the World for her sins.
Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.(Revelation 11 :17-18)
Pastor Bill Randles Blog 
Pastor Bill, I want to thank you for your messages, which I have been listening to on YouTube for the past several months. I have learned so much, and my faith has been strengthened and solidified, and I share what I have learned. I look forward to each new message.
Indeed, we are living in lawless and wicked times. We are seeing exactly what Jesus told us would happen. I honestly have never seen anything like it in my lifetime. Ever. The lawlessness occurring just in our own country, the United States, is staggering. You cannot escape from it. It is everywhere. And I see so many professing “Christians”, churchgoers, who haven’t a clue about the Bible (yet they won’t miss an issue of People Magazine!), who are caught up in all sorts of silly distractions and conspiracies. They are Biblically illiterate, not reading the Word for themselves.
Abortion (child sacrifice) and homosexuality are both abominations in God’s sight. And Israel is now being isolated and marginalized by the USG. I believe these three issues will bring God’s judgment on this nation. Actually, I think the actions against Israel may be the last straw. God has blessed America because it has stood with in our history, but no more.
My husband and I just moved to North Carolina. Please pray for us to find a serious fellowship, one that takes Biblical prophecy seriously. In Matthew 24:25, after Jesus told His disciples to not be deceived (four times) and what was going to come, He then said “Behold, I have told you in advance.” We have no excuses not to know. We may not know every detail now, but God has told us everything we need.
Thanks Jeannne it is so nice to receive your helpful input, We will pray and hope you let us know how you get on. If you are ever in our area, please come and visit and fellowship and of course with your experience, I appreciate any input
Pastor Bill, I too am very blessed by both your blog and your youtube sermons which I always add to my own youtube channel to get the messages ‘out there’! Maybe as I learn more, I’m hearing more, but to me, your teaching has ‘gone up’ several notches in terms of knowledge and what our Lord has been showing you. We are so close to the end. I know it but can’t always comprehend it,if that makes sense.That we should be living in the exact same times as prophesied is amazing yet so few can see. Your sermon, Children, Fathers, Young Men explained in words the knowledge I have in my head but have not been able to put into words.It makes perfect sense as to why so few can see. By the grace of God, around 22 years ago, I came out of a church that was starting to go down the Toronto road and have never looked back. Hoping very much to get up to Derbyshire next month to hear you and Jacob!!
I thank God for you, Pastor Bill, and all those like you.
Thanks for the encouragement Trace and hope to see you in the UK
Hello Pastor Bill,
As you quite rightly say we are heading for a major disaster as the so-called world leaders are doing their utmost to blasphemy and pass laws to discriminate against people of the Christian Faith. I mean the real faith as once delivered written by Jude. Today too much emphasis is placed on so-called love by many denominations and false movements which to my mind is nothing than following the broad road to destruction. Church in many denominations or movements today does not represent Christianity. Some are just clubs to have fellowship and some are involved in the most gross kind of worship. The worlds leaders and especially those of the USA have been hijacked and will do just about anything to create havoc and ultimately will lead the Nation USA into destruction. The likes of The Clintons, Bushes and Obama are led by their god-satan- When they say god bless America they mean satan and the masses are oblivious of the real meaning. I have been doing a considerable amount of research and I can say from what I have learned America today is nothing more than a Communist led Government.
I thank you for standing strong for God and His Christ. I pray that the populace of America will see The Light before it is too late. May God truly Bless you. Daniel Wasserman.
Thank you Bill Randles for this article.
I was searching online for Daniel 8:23-26 to find commentaries and found your article on “When the transgressors..” I read it and was astounded to realize how, 4 years after it was written, it is even more applicable today. The transgressors/transgressions today are off the wall (CV-19, lockdowns and power grabs, lies, slander, corruption from government, riots, looting, destruction, pandering and appeasement towards criminals, etc., etc. The list goes on and on. Conditions have accelerated exponentially in the 4 years since you wrote this article. I believe it won’t be long before Jesus raptures his true Church and the Antichrist steps onto the scene.
Thank you again. I regularly get and read your articles. They are always helpful.
