Daniel
9
2
In the first year of his reign
I Daniel Understood By Books
the number of the
years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the
prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the
desolations of Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 29
10
For thus saith the LORD,
That
after seventy years
be accomplished at Babylon I will
visit you, and perform my good word
toward you, in causing you to return
to this place.
11
For I know the thoughts that
I think toward you, saith the LORD,
thoughts of peace, and not of evil,
to give you an expected end.
12
Then shall ye call upon me,
and ye shall go and pray unto me,
and I will hearken unto you.
13
And ye shall seek me, and
find me, when ye shall search for me
with all your heart
What happened was that Israel was
punished for rebellion against the Lord and
were sent into captivity to Babylon for 70
years. Daniel understood by reading
Jeremiah's Words that the time of their
being away from Jerusalem was almost over.
In light of this, Daniel began to pray. When
we get to Daniel 9:21, The Archangel
Gabriel appears to Daniel, and in verses
24-27 tells him
something Awesome.
Daniel 9
3
And I set my face unto the Lord
God, to seek by prayer and
supplications, with fasting, and
sackcloth, and ashes:
4
And I prayed unto the LORD my
God, and made my confession, and said, O
Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them
that love him, and to them that keep his
commandments;
5
We have sinned, and have
committed iniquity, and have done
wickedly, and have rebelled, even by
departing from thy precepts and from thy
judgments:
13
As it is written in the law of
Moses, all this evil is com upon us: yet
made we not our prayer before the LORD
our God, that we might turn from our
iniquities, and understand thy truth.
14
Therefore hath the LORD watched
upon the evil, and brought it upon us:
for the LORD our God is righteous in all
his works which he doeth: for we obeyed
not his voice.
16
O LORD, according to all thy
righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine
anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain:
because for our sins, and for the
iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and
thy people are become a reproach to all
that are about us.
17
Now therefore, O our God, hear
the prayer of thy servant, and his
supplications, and cause thy face to
shine upon thy sanctuary that is
desolate, for the Lord's sake.
19
O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O
Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for
thine own sake, O my God: for thy city
and thy people are called by thy name.
20
And whiles I was speaking, and
praying, and confessing my sin and the
sin of my people Israel, and presenting
my supplication before the LORD my God
for the holy mountain of my God;
21 Yea, whiles 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.

22
And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel,
I am now come forth to give thee
skill
and
understanding.
23
At the
beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth,
and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved:
therefore
understand
the
matter,
and
consider
the
vision.
24 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.
Gabriel Has
just told Daniel that 490 Years were determined for
the Israelites.
( Each Week equals 7
Years )
The first three
events were accomplished in part when Jesus died on
the Cross. All six points will be accomplished when
Jesus sets up His Kingdom on Earth after the Battle
of Armageddon.
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 troublous times.
So 7 weeks + 62 weeks
= 69 weeks or 483 years would transpire from a decree being
issued to rebuild Jerusalem to Jesus The Messiah.
26
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be
cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince
that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;
and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end
of the war desolations are determined.
Things are starting to
get interesting. In
verse 26 it says after the 69th of the 70th week, Jesus will be
killed and the people of the prince ( The Roman
Soldiers ) that shall arrive will destroy the city (
Jerusalem ) and the sanctuary ( The Temple ). Well in
70AD Jerusalem and the Temple met their fate.
Let's
keep reading, things will keep getting more and more
interesting.
In Zechariah 9:9 we
read:
9 Rejoice greatly, O
daughter of Zion; shout, O
daughter of Jerusalem: behold,
thy King cometh unto thee: he is
just, and having salvation;
lowly, and riding upon a donkey,
and upon a colt the foal of an
donkey.
The Religious Leaders
of Jesus day, should of known from this Prophecy given to
Daniel verses 24-27, the Prophecy in Zechariah, as well as
other scriptures and just from seeing Jesus, that he was
their Messiah. The next verses are why we celebrate Palm
Sunday, the week just before Easter.
John 12
12
On the next day
much people that were come
to the feast ( Passover ),
when they heard that Jesus
was coming to Jerusalem,
13
Took branches of
palm trees, and went forth
to meet him, and cried,
Hosanna: Blessed is the King
of Israel that cometh in the
name of the Lord.
14
And Jesus, when he
had found a young donkey,
sat thereon; as it is
written,
15
Fear not, daughter
of Sion: behold, thy King
cometh, sitting on an
donkey's colt.
These verses written in the Gospel of John
fulfill what Zechariah had prophesied say 600
years or more earlier. 600 Years!! -
Jesus was crucified like maybe 5 days after the
above took place in John chapter 12 - Which completes 69 of the 70
Weeks of The Prophecy given to Daniel.
THIS MEANS THERE IS ONE MORE WEEK
(SEVEN YEARS)
TO GO
Just as Daniel in his
day was wise enough to understand from reading Jeremiah's
words of what was to be God's next plans, so to The religious
leaders of Jesus day ought to of known the time they were
living in as well,
as well as us Today!
Ok, Let's
get Jesus words on the matter of why it is
important to know what is written in the
scriptures as well as I would say just knowing the
things that are taking place in one's
surroundings.
Jesus
said this:
41
And when he was come near, he
beheld the city, ( Jerusalem )
and wept over it,
42 Saying, If thou hadst
known, even thou, at least in
this thy day, the things which
belong unto thy peace! but now
they are hid from thine eyes.
43 For the days shall
come upon thee, that thine
enemies shall cast a trench
about thee, and compass thee
round, and keep thee in on every
side,
44
And shall lay thee even with the
ground, and thy children within thee;
and they shall not leave in thee one
stone upon another; because thou
knewest
not
the
time
of
thy
visitation.
IN 70 AD
JESUS WORDS CAME TRUE AND CITY OF
JERUSALEM MET HER FATE. WHY,
DID THIS HAPPEN??
JESUS SAID
BECAUSE THOU KNEWEST
NOT
THE TIME OF THY VISITATION.
THE RELIGIOUS EDUCATED LEARNED MEN
OF JESUS DAY, TOTALLY MESSED UP.
THEY SHOULD OF KNOWN FROM STUDY THAT
JESUS WAS THE MESSIAH.
DANIEL
THOUGH WAS SMART ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THE
TIMES HE WAS LIVING IN!! : )
NOW LET SEE IF WE ARE
TOO!!! : )
1 Thessalonians
5: 1-6
1
But
of
the
times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need
that I write unto you.
2 For
yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord
so cometh as a thief in the
night.
3 For when
they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden
destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon
a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4
But ye, brethren,
are not
in darkness, that that day
should overtake you as a thief. 5
Ye are all the children of light, and the children
of the day: we are not of the night, nor of
darkness. 6 Therefore let us not
sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
Paul is saying The World is not
going to have a clue when the End
takes place, but the Christians are
"not in darkness" to this
reality.
We should take heed as
to the words Jesus spoke about
Jerusalem back in 30AD,
pronouncing doom to the city,
because:
" To Us Today, with
the knowledge of
Daniel's Prophecy --
We are not in
darkness as to the
Day of The Lord/The
Seven Year Peace
Deal "
The reason this is
relevant to our day and
age is because Israel
just became a nation
again in 1948AD for the
first time in like 2,000
years!!!!!
The 70 Weeks prophecy in
Daniel pertains soley to
Israel, but affects
everybody on earth as it
will bring in the end of
the world.
|
NOW WE
ARRIVE AT
THE NEXT VERSE WHICH THE
DANIEL'S
OF
TODAY KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THAT THIS
IS THE VERSE THAT IS
TOTALLY RELEVANT
RIGHT NOW!
LET US HONOR THE ANCIENT OF DAYS WHO HAS
REVEALED TO US THE FUTURE.

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, and for the
overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate,
even until the consummation, and that determined shall
be poured upon the desolate.
"He" written in verse
27 is the Anti-Christ. This person is written about in
Daniel, Revelation, 1John & 2Thessalonians
-
Daniel 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:
-
Daniel
8:
-
23
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.
-
24 And his power shall be mighty,
but not by his own power: and he shall
destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper,
and practice,
and shall destroy the
mighty and the holy people.
-
25 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.
-
2
Thessalonians 2:
- 3 that man
of sin be revealed, the son of
perdition;
-
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself
above all that is called God, or that is
worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in
the temple
of God, showing himself that
he is God.
- 1 John 2:18
Little children, it is the last time: and as
ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now
are there many antichrists;
whereby we know that it
is the last time.
-
Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let
him that hath understanding count the number
of the beast: (Anti-Christ) for it is the
number
of a man; and his number is Six
hundred threescore and six.
( 666 )
The Mark

The
Anti-Christ is going to Finish the 70 Week Prophecy when he signs or
confirms a seven year peace deal with
Israel.
Daniel
9:27 says He (The Anti-Christ) will confirm ( make strong )
a covenant ( peace deal ) with many ( Israel is one of the
peace parties because this prophecy pertains to Israel - The
'
Many ' could be a lot of countries like the UN or the
Quartet or the EU or the Arab League) for one week ( Seven Years ).
This
Seven Year peace deal will begin the 70th Week in the
Prophecy given to Daniel, which will
Thereby
Bring
In
The
End
Of
The
Age.
2 Peter 3:10.......in
which the heavens shall pass away with a great
noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent
heat, the earth also and the works that are therein
shall be burned up.
Today, This World Ending Prophecy Could Commence At Any
Moment.
For almost 2000 years, This prophecy was
dormant -- with only 69 of the 70 weeks having been
completed. However in 1948 when Israel was
declared a Nation, returning for the first time
since 70AD,
(
0-70 AD Being the time when the people or Religious Leaders of
Jesus Day Didn't Understand The times they were living in,
not unlike today. )
This prophecy became
ONCE
AGAIN!
WE MY FRIENDS
ARE LIVING IN THE AGE OF THIS PROPHECY OF THE 70 WEEKS.
ISRAEL
EXISTS AGAIN, AND WITHOUT ISRAEL THIS PROPHECY WOULD NOT
HAVE ANY MEANING.
BUT BECAUSE
ISRAEL IS, THIS PROPHECY IS ALIVE!
Isaiah 9
6
For unto us a child is born, unto us
a son is given: and the government shall be
upon his shoulder: and his name shall be
called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty
God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of
Peace.
7
Of the increase of his government and peace there
shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his
kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment
and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal
of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
