DANIEL 12:1-13 (cont):  It says in verse 11, "from the time", which means from the moment the decision was announced to remove the "constant feature" (Holy Spirit of God) as the authority, and to replace it with the "disgusting thing" (appointing unsealed men to oppose the Will of God) in Christ's congregations, 1,290 days began to run. According to the evidence recorded in the 1975 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses this process was begun on December 1st 1971, and their 'shifting of responsibilities' from anointed sons of God to unsealed men had been completed in most JW congregations by October 1st 1972. (Pg. 248 & 250). Thus began the removal of anointed sons of God by satan through apostate teachings of the "disgusting thing" (his "foreign god". 11:39) and their new 'congregational arrangement'. This distinguished approved anointed ones with Godly "insight" from sectarian members. (11:35.  1 Cor 11:19). By the time the 1,335 days had run its course, all approved anointed sons of God had been spiritually refined. Jehovah blesses and counts as "happy" those who endured until the end of the 1,335 days still faithful to the Will of God. (12:12 Moffatt). For evidence of His blessings to date, see Pages 777 to 844 of the "refining work" of Jehovah through one of His anointed "strongholds".  (11:35,39).

It was conveyed to Daniel that he would be resurrected "at the end of the days" (12:13 Moffatt). This means of course, after the aforementioned events. Wicked ones who wilfully promote the "foreign god" will not understand or accept these things "at all". (12:10). If they did, they would be passing Judgement upon themselves. In conclusion, to Jesus it was said: "Every other man puts out the fine wine first, and when people are intoxicated, the inferior. You have reserved the fine wine until now."  (John 2:10).
