Wednesday Evening Message: Daniel's Great Prophecy, Part 2 · CCC West Covina

0:00
All right, let's bow for a word of prayer.
0:02
Then we'll begin father. Thank you.
0:03
Lord for tonight and chance that we have to study the word of the
0:06
lord. We are a blessed people and
0:09
you've given to us your word that we might be able to
0:11
understand, not just the events of this day, but the events for
0:15
all time and we are grateful that you've given us this
0:18
opportunity. So Lord has struck this and
0:20
teachers in the way that we should go.
0:22
That we might leave here excited about the opportunities before
0:25
us in Jesus name. Amen.
0:27
Daniel chapter 9. Daniel chapter 9, what is one of
0:33
the most instructional, one of the most informational and
0:38
certainly one of the most inspirational chapters in all of
0:42
the Bible. It informs you on how to pray
0:45
and why prayer is so important. In the structure, you on how to
0:49
pray and inspires you to pray? Well, same thing is true with
0:52
the prophecy Daniels. Great prayer was followed by
0:56
Daniel's great prophecy, the prophecy that would come to him.
1:00
Him immediately after he had prayed because the Lord had
1:03
dispensed Gabriel to come and give him the answer.
1:08
And so, chapter 9 of Daniel provides for us a great
1:11
framework for us to understand, not just how to pray, but the
1:16
understanding of Prophecy in God's plan for his people
1:20
Israel. Now, having said that, remember,
1:24
Daniel, realizes that, as he reads the book of Jeremiah
1:28
Jeremiah chapter 25 explicit, Pacifically Jeremiah chapter 29,
1:32
he realizes that 70 years of captivity are just about up and
1:36
when he realizes that he goes to prayer in Daniel 9.
1:40
He goes to prayer and realizes that, because those 70 years are
1:43
up, he's asking God to fulfill his word, which he will, because
1:47
that's what God does. But he wants God to fulfill this
1:50
works. We begin to confess his sin and
1:52
then begins to confess the sins of Israel and he does this for
1:57
the Lord's sake says in verse number, Number 19.
2:01
Oh Lord, here for your sake and for your name.
2:06
So everything he is doing. He's doing it for the sake of
2:09
God and for the name of God and so as soon as he's done praying,
2:13
God sends Gabriel to him to give the answer that he's asking.
2:18
And the answer is not exactly what he's looking for.
2:21
I'm not sure exactly what Daniel was looking for except for the
2:25
fact that he wanted the Lord to answer the prayer that 70 years
2:29
were up. And your people back knowing
2:32
that, the Captivity, the 70 years of captivity are soon to
2:35
be over. And remember, they're in
2:37
captivity for 70 years. Because for 490 years, they
2:41
didn't keep the Sabbath. The sabbatical the land
2:44
sabbatical every seven years. And so, for 70 years, they
2:48
wouldn't take activity. Second chronicles 36 verse
2:51
number, 21 tells us that that's why they were in 70 years of
2:54
captivity, but now it's around year. 68 years, 69 Nine and
3:00
Daniel is close to 80 or in his 80s and he's saying this time is
3:05
about up Lord, please answer and he confesses his sins and the
3:10
sins of his people, Israel. Well, Gabriel shows up and he
3:14
reiterates to Daniel, you need to get this, you need to
3:18
understand this, I'm going to give you an answer, an answer
3:20
you're not necessarily expecting but the answer I'm going to give
3:23
you you need to understand and why is that so important?
3:27
Because it tells Daniel About Israel's future, it tells us
3:35
that God is not done with Israel.
3:37
It tells us that the church in no way shape or form replaces
3:45
Israel. Why?
3:47
Because he's going to give a prophecy that encompasses 70
3:52
weeks or 77 is the Hebrew word for weeks means sevens and so
3:57
it's seventy sevens. Which Is 490 years.
4:02
And the reason he does that is because God is taking what was
4:06
taken from him. For those for 90 years of
4:09
rebellion, remember issue has been in existence for about 800
4:12
years at this point. And Ford are 90 of those years.
4:16
They were living in Rebellion against God, and God is saying,
4:20
I'm going to make up all that by giving you a prophecy that
4:24
entails 77s or 490 years, You think that 70 years of captivity
4:32
was bad? You wait till you hear what I
4:35
have to share with you this evening or as a result of your
4:40
prayer to me Daniel that you might understand exactly what is
4:44
happening. Now, we need to understand very
4:46
outset that God is not done with Israel.
4:49
And how do we know that? How do we take from the
4:52
scriptures that God is not done with the nation of Israel?
4:57
Well remember the first point we gave you last week Was was the
5:01
cause behind the prophecy member that.
5:04
And there are three causes and that was the sovereignty of God,
5:08
the sins of Israel and the setting up of God's kingdom,
5:15
okay? Those three causes are outlined
5:19
for us in verse number. Twenty four, seventy weeks have
5:24
been decreed have been cut out. Specifically had been set out
5:32
for Israel. It says 70 weeks have been
5:35
decreed for your people and your holy city.
5:38
So this only has to do with Israel and their, Holy City
5:42
Jerusalem. Daniel has no idea what the
5:45
church is, right? That's not even been born yet.
5:48
And so, he has no idea what that means, but he does know who the
5:53
People Israel are. He does know what the holy city
5:57
is. And so, years have been cut out
6:00
to deal with Israel and The city of Jerusalem.
6:06
And so, the whole cause behind the prophet.
6:09
He deals with the sovereignty of God, and they list the sins of
6:12
the people, what's going to happen.
6:13
And it tells you, we have it on your chart.
6:15
If you if you want to look on your chart you can see it.
6:17
It's right down here. These things right here, tell us
6:20
what's going on. These three here deal with the
6:22
sins of the people and the next four, five, and six deal with
6:25
the setting up of God's kingdom. All that is in verse number 24.
6:31
And so what God is doing is showing them, these are Sins of
6:34
your people and we got a deal with those things and we got to
6:38
set up the kingdom of God. But listen, none of this happens
6:42
until at the end of the 70 weeks you can see that on your chart.
6:47
You tells them 70 weeks have been set aside for your People,
6:51
Israel to deal with their sins and to set up the kingdom of
6:55
God, but all that's going to happen at the end of the 70
6:58
weeks. Now, Daniel doesn't understand
7:01
all that right now but that's exactly what happens.
7:04
And when you did, when you deal with all the sins of the nation
7:08
itself, okay? And so we realize that God is
7:11
not done with his people Israel. We understand that because of
7:16
listen to what the Bible says, way back in the book of 1st
7:20
Samuel. 12 verse number 22 for the Lord will not abandon his
7:24
people on account of his great name because the Lord has been
7:29
pleased to make you a people for himself, the Lord made it Very
7:34
clear that his name is at stake and he will not abandon his
7:38
people. Well, if you read on and go to
7:41
Psalm 89, you had the davidic Covenant and it says, in verse
7:44
number 33, I will not break off my loving.
7:47
Kindness from him, that is David, Nortel falsely nor deal
7:51
falsely in my faithfulness. My Covenant, I will not violate.
7:55
Nor will I alter the utterance of my lips?
7:58
Once I have sworn by my Holiness, I will not lie to
8:01
David. His descendants shall endure
8:03
forever. / and his throne as the sun before me it shall be
8:09
established forever like the moon and the witness in the sky
8:13
is faithful. So, within the davidic, Covenant
8:17
comes the promise to the nation of Israel that God will not
8:22
abandon his people. Well, over in the book of
8:26
Zechariah, we know that Israel is save Zechariah. 12 verse
8:30
number 10. I will pour out on the House of
8:32
David on the habits of The spirit of Grace that of
8:36
Suffocation so that they will look on me.
8:38
Whom they have pierced and they will mourn for him as One Mourns
8:42
for an only son and they will be bitterly over him like the
8:45
bitter weeping over a firstborn, then Chapter 13 Verse number
8:49
one, it says in that day a fountain will be opened for the
8:54
House of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin
8:58
and for iniquity. In other words, all this is
9:01
going to happen at this point right here.
9:04
I mean, Zechariah 12, verse number, 10 is when that takes
9:08
place. Now, we know that the sins of
9:11
Israel were atoned it. Calvary We Now understand that
9:15
because that's where Tom it was made that happens after the 69
9:20
weeks at Calvary. It happens in between the 69th
9:26
week and the 70th week. There's a gat that's there and
9:31
that's not a problem because I'm going to show you tonight where
9:34
there are many gaps in scripture to show you that there can be a
9:38
gap between week 69 and week number 70.
9:41
So the 490 years are not consecutive years.
9:47
The first 483 years, the first seven weeks, the Nick 62 weeks,
9:52
483 years they are consecutive but it goes up to that point
9:57
that the Messiah The prince will arrive in Jerusalem, but it
10:04
says, after the 60 second week, that's the sickest 60 second
10:09
week, plus the seventh week, after the 69th week Messiah will
10:13
be cut off. So that happens after the 69th
10:18
week. So, Messiah is cut off in
10:21
between the 69th and 70th week. That's when Messiah is
10:27
crucified. That's where sin is atoned for,
10:31
but it's not applied, which talks about atoning for the
10:34
wickedness of Israel, right. This is where it happens.
10:39
It's not applied till the end. Zachariah chapter 12 verses 10
10:44
and 11 because they don't believe that Jesus is our
10:47
Messiah. So, the cross of Calvary is
10:51
something that was foolishness to them.
10:54
Although the prophecy of Daniel teaches the death of the
11:00
Messiah, coming ahead of myself here.
11:03
But the Bible does say these words over in Romans chapter 9,
11:10
a shimmy Romans 11. I say, then God has not
11:13
rejected. His people has, he may it never
11:15
be for I too. Am an Israelite.
11:16
A descendant of Abraham of The Tribe of Benjamin verse, 25 of
11:20
Romans 11 for, I do not want you to be Brethren to be uninformed.
11:24
Formed of this mystery so that you will not be wise in your own
11:28
estimation. That a, partial hardening has
11:31
happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has
11:36
come in. And so all Israel will be saved.
11:41
Just as it is written, the deliverer will come from Zion,
11:45
he will remove ungodliness from Jacob.
11:48
This is my Covenant with them. When I take away their sins, Ins
11:55
God is going to take away, Israel sins.
11:57
He is going to save the nation. Now, when it says, all Israel is
12:01
going to be saved, listen carefully, when you see the
12:04
word, all all is defined by context.
12:09
All is defined by the Scripture. It doesn't mean that every Jew
12:14
that's ever. Lived is going to be saved,
12:16
right? When it says, all Jerusalem was
12:19
coming down to the Jordan to be baptized, it doesn't mean that
12:22
every single man woman Boy and girl was coming down to the
12:26
Jordan, to be baptized by John the Baptist right?
12:30
It's an all-inclusive term, but it doesn't mean that every
12:33
single person is well, we know that not every single Jews going
12:37
to be saved because Paul says in Romans 11, all Israel will be
12:40
saved. We know there's a distinction to
12:43
that because Zachariah 12 tells us that two thirds.
12:47
The nation will be refined or purged out and 1/3 he will keep
12:52
from him for himself. One third will be saved, so we
12:56
know from Zechariah 13 that the one-third of Zechariah 13 is the
13:03
all Israel of Romans chapter 11 when Paul says, all Israel will
13:08
be saved. That doesn't mean that Jews are
13:10
not saved today. They are safe, they're stage
13:13
individually. But we're talking about a
13:15
national salvation of a group of people who look upon the one
13:19
whom they have pierced and they weep for him, They Mourn for him
13:23
and then Give their life to their Messiah and that's what
13:27
happens is a cariah chapter 12. Okay?
13:30
So we know that God is not done with his people, Israel.
13:34
God has a plan for the nation. That's why he is decreed.
13:37
He has cut out, he is predetermined 70 weeks, 70
13:43
weeks, 490 years, 77s. We know it's not 77s of days or
13:50
weeks or months because that doesn't even get us to the birth
13:53
of the Messiah. Let alone the death of the
13:55
Messiah, so we know it's 77s, meaning 77s of years, 490 years.
14:03
And so, we know that as you look at your outline on the back of
14:07
your chart, the point. Number one, was the cause behind
14:10
the prophecy. And point number two, is the
14:12
command that began the prophecy. How do you know where to begin
14:17
the prophecy? Well, the Bible tells you Daniel
14:19
chapter 9, it says very clearly. So you are two known as CERN
14:24
that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild
14:27
Jerusalem until the Messiah. The prince there will be seven
14:30
weeks and sixty-two weeks. It will be built again with
14:34
Plaza and mode even in times of distress.
14:38
So what was the decree? Or the command that began to
14:43
prophesy. Well, we know that the Bible
14:47
tells us in Nehemiah chapter 1 and Nehemiah chapter 2, that
14:51
there was a decree given by artaxerxes, we know that there
14:54
were four of them, okay? But three of the four deal with
14:59
the rebuilding of the temple, only one deals with the
15:02
rebuilding of the city of Jerusalem and the walls around
15:07
the city, and the moat and the plaza, the streets, that kind of
15:10
stuff that In Nehemiah chapter 2, with artaxerxes, which
15:14
happened on the 14th of Nisan, 445 BC.
15:19
So we know the exact date of when the 70 weeks of the
15:23
prophecy begins. That's very simple.
15:26
That's not hard to understand. And so that's how you come up
15:29
that we know there are four of them but there's only one that
15:31
really fits the timeline. It's just one because it deals
15:34
with the building of Jerusalem, not the building of the temple
15:39
but it takes Seven weeks, or 49 years to finish everything, the
15:46
rebuilding of Jerusalem, the rebuilding the streets, the wall
15:49
or took 52 days for the book of Nehemiah.
15:52
But to finish all that, it took seven weeks, that's why there's
15:55
a division between the seven weeks and the 62 weeks which
15:59
equals sixty nine weeks. Why?
16:01
Because when this is done right, everything is done and now
16:05
they're going to wait and they're going to wait and
16:07
they're going to wait. For the arrival of the Messiah.
16:12
And you had those 400 silent years between the book, The Old
16:15
Testament and the New Testament before Christ comes.
16:19
So they're in anticipation mode, they are waiting for their
16:23
Messiah to come And so, as you read on the text, it tells us,
16:30
then the coming of the Messiah. The prince is point number 3,
16:35
and it tells us these words, it says, so you are to know and
16:40
discern their from the issuing of the decree to restore and
16:43
rebuild Jerusalem until the Messiah.
16:45
The prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks.
16:50
So Messiah, the prince, the arrival of the Messiah, a formal
16:54
arrived in the Messiah, which we know here.
16:56
Lives according to Zechariah 9 verse number nine.
16:59
How on the backside of a donkey member Zechariah 9 verse number
17:04
9, he tells us how the Messiah is going to come.
17:08
It says Rejoice greatly o Daughter of Zion shout and
17:12
shrimp o daughter of Jerusalem. Behold your king is coming to
17:17
you. He is just an endowed with
17:20
salvation, humble, and mounted on a donkey.
17:24
Even on a Colt, the foal Full of a donkey.
17:28
So we know there's coming. The Messiah zechariah's prophecy
17:32
tells us all right, and he's going to come at a very
17:35
particular time, and that time is going to be according to the
17:40
triumphal entry of Christ, in Luke chapter 19, which according
17:44
to the date April 6th, a t32 and down here is a proof as to how
17:48
you know, that's the exact day. 173,880 days for the time of
17:53
March 14th, 445 BC until Ad April 6th 3280.
18:00
So that's how, you know, the days.
18:02
And so we talked about that last week.
18:04
So it's a very precise prophecy. It's a very detailed prophecy.
18:08
It all comes together exactly as the Lord said and so, that's
18:12
what happens. Messiah comes.
18:14
But then, it says these words, then after the 62 weeks, the
18:18
Messiah will be cut off. So, after the 62 weeks, Besides
18:27
cut off. So it's not a, that's a thing
18:30
about the, the 70th week, 62 and 769 so, but after this time for
18:37
period, Messiah is cut off. We know there's a week.
18:41
Left that weeks going to come later the prophecy, but this is
18:45
not that weak. So after the 69 weeks Messiah
18:49
dies he's cut off. It's a term keroth which deals
18:52
with the killing of a criminal and we know our Lord died as a
18:58
criminal between two crore to between two thieves, Messiah
19:02
died. You see it's very important to
19:05
realize it the Old Testament teaches the death of the
19:07
Messiah. Now I'm thinking about this if
19:10
you're Daniel right, you know as Daniel Psalm 22 which teaches
19:16
the Of the Messiah. As Daniel, you know, Isaiah 53,
19:23
which speaks of the death of the Messiah.
19:27
Okay, now listen, Psalm 22 was written a thousand years before
19:34
the death of Christ Thousand Years.
19:37
Isaiah 53 was written 700 years before the death of Christ.
19:43
Book of Zachariah talks about the death of the Messiah.
19:46
Zachariah 12:10. It was written five hundred
19:48
fifty years. Before the death of the Messiah,
19:51
that he would be pierced were dealing with crucifixion.
19:57
Why is that at all? Why is that important?
19:59
Because Isaiah 53, Psalm, 22, Zechariah 12, all teacher, death
20:05
of Messiah as being pierced. Meaning, that he be crucified
20:10
and there had never been a crucifixion yet.
20:13
There wasn't a crucifixion till 500.
20:17
BC. First recorded, crucifixion was
20:21
in 500 BC by the Persians. He wasn't even perfected till 63
20:27
BC by the Romans. That's when they perfected it.
20:32
And yet, a thousand years before our Lord was crucified, it was
20:36
prophesied, that he be crucified. 750 years, Isaiah
20:40
53:5, 700 years, 550 years, Zechariah, 12, verses verses 10
20:46
and 11. That is so important to realize
20:50
this, that all that was being taught before anybody ever
20:55
thought of a crucifixion before because the Lord had determined
20:59
eternity past That he'd be the lamb slain, before the
21:03
foundation of the world. Now, remember, when Christ rides
21:09
into Jerusalem, in Luke chapter, 19.
21:13
He laments the fact that they did not know the day and he
21:18
calls it. What kind of day the day of
21:21
their visitation? This is so good.
21:27
This is worth the price of admission, okay?
21:30
Because you're going to find out something before anybody else.
21:33
On Sunday finds out about it. The day of your visitation.
21:40
Why is that so important? Because there was a day that
21:44
Messiah was going to visit his people.
21:46
Israel and that day had been prophesied in Daniel chapter 9.
21:51
but it really goes deeper than that because all the way back to
21:55
the Book of Genesis to the very last chapter in the book of
21:58
Genesis The Book of Genesis begins.
22:04
With creation. And ends with a grave.
22:11
The Book of Genesis is a fabulous study but in the Book
22:15
of Genesis, I want you to realize.
22:19
What is said, says these words. Joseph said to his brothers, I
22:25
am about to die, but God will surely, listen carefully.
22:33
Visit you? God is going to visit you.
22:40
Sui tells him? Didn't Joseph made the sons of
22:45
Israel. Swear saying God will surely
22:49
visit you and you shall carry him my bones up from here.
22:57
Now think about this all the way back in the Book of Genesis 50th
23:02
chapter Joseph, one of the Patriarchs believes in the
23:08
stands, the importance of the land of Canaan when Jacob died.
23:13
He told, Joseph, take me back to the cave of machpelah and bury
23:17
me. Joseph did But Joseph dies and
23:21
Joe says, don't take me back. Not when I die but I want you to
23:26
take my bones back, meaning that there'd have to be a decaying of
23:31
the body. It's not going to be right away.
23:33
It's going to be a while. Why?
23:35
Because of something about those bones that's going to be very
23:39
instrumental in the well-being of the nation of Israel.
23:44
So, it's not till Moses. Okay. 400-plus years later.
23:50
Right? Carries the box of Bones out of
23:54
Egypt, okay? And takes them and Joshua will
24:00
then bury them some 40 years later.
24:05
In the land of Israel. Okay, so here's Moses but we
24:10
know that Israel was to take all the spoils of Egypt with them,
24:14
right? And they and they were well
24:17
endowed with The Spoils of Egypt and Pharaoh gave it to them and
24:20
they left with them. But but Moses think the bones of
24:25
Joseph. Why?
24:27
Because you could almost hear the bones singing.
24:29
Can't you? Right?
24:32
Thigh bone said to the hip bone, you know, because it's something
24:36
about the bone that speak. That's very, very important.
24:41
Why? Because you're all telling the
24:43
story about how God will visit his people Israel, it was all in
24:50
preparation of. Where would he visit them in the
24:53
promised land? The land of Israel.
24:58
And he was going to come and he was going to visit them and he
25:00
did, he did come but they didn't recognize your day of their
25:03
visitation. Good day.
25:06
So in Luke 19, when he arrives you didn't recognize a day of
25:10
your visitation. It's almost if he said she don't
25:12
want way back in Genesis Joseph told you That his bones would be
25:17
a symbol, a memorial of my visitation to you.
25:24
I even gave you a prophecy that would give you the exact day
25:27
which I would ride into Jerusalem. 173,880 days from
25:34
Nisan. 14 March 14th. 445 BC. You still missed it.
25:43
You were completely blinded to it, but you should have known.
25:48
This is so important to realize that the whole Bible connects
25:53
one verse upon another always consistently speaking.
25:58
The same truth is showing you how it all comes together to
26:03
point to one person that person being the Lord Jesus Christ in
26:07
all these done for us. And so, you've seen the cause
26:12
behind the prophecy, the command that began the prophecy, the
26:15
coming of the Messiah, the prince, then the cutting off of
26:17
Messiah, the prince Then point number five, the completion of
26:20
the destruction of the city. The completion of destruction of
26:26
the city and the sanctuary. Listen, what it says, Daniel
26:30
chapter 9 Says, he's words. So I will be cut off and had
26:37
nothing and the people of the prince who is to come, will
26:40
destroy the city and the sanctuary, and it's in will come
26:46
with the flood. Even to the end.
26:48
There will be War. Desolations are determined.
26:53
Okay? So now not only do you have a
26:56
crucifixion that happens at the end of the week of the 69th
27:01
week? When this is at the, in the 69th
27:03
week, it comes And then after that week is over Messiahs cut
27:07
off some 40 years later. You have what the destruction of
27:11
the city of Jerusalem in 70 AD. So you see now the Gap is
27:16
widening, is a not from, just a few days 4 days to now 40 years
27:23
in 70 AD, and we know that's exactly what happened.
27:27
Now, the text says these words, it says the people of the prince
27:33
who is thick Come, who's the prince to come?
27:36
Notice. It's a little peanut a big p,
27:38
right? The Messiah.
27:41
The prince is the Messiah that we all know and understand to be
27:45
the Lord Jesus Christ. But the prince who is to come,
27:48
is the anti Messiah, who is the Antichrist, but it's the people
27:53
of that prints that are going to destroy the city in 70 AD.
27:58
Now remember, Daniel doesn't know the timeframe.
28:03
He just knows that after 69 weeks besides going to be cut
28:06
off, but that's even got to be something going on his brain.
28:09
Why? Because the last time you had a
28:11
prophecy about the Messiah, was Daniel 7 and in, Daniel 7, what
28:16
did you see the Messiah doing? He's coming in clouds of great
28:19
Glory, right? That's how he sees the Messiah
28:22
coming, so when he come to Daniel chapter 9, Messiah, now
28:26
is cut off. How does the king coming and
28:29
great Glory? All of a sudden die.
28:32
How does that happen? And so now he's trying to think
28:36
through all the situation concerning the coming of the
28:40
Messiah. Because in Daniel 7, akina set
28:43
up his kingdom. But in Daniel 9 beside the
28:48
princes cut off, he dies. So, you think you're confused?
28:56
Just think how confused Daniel would have been thinking, wait a
28:58
minute, how does how does all this come together because you
29:02
see, remember, they don't understand the church age, they
29:07
don't know what that means. That's why, Ephesians 3 talks
29:09
about it being a mystery. It's something concealed in the
29:13
Old Testament, but revealed in the New Testament, they had no
29:17
idea about the church age. except it was all part of the
29:21
plan of God, but the 70 weeks Had nothing to do with the
29:27
church. They have everything to do with
29:29
Israel and Israel, only and its Holy City.
29:33
You've got to keep that in mind. And so, The people of the
29:38
prince, who are the people of the prince?
29:42
Well, we know from Daniel 2. And Daniel 7, there are four
29:45
World Empires. We know that we know the first
29:48
one was Babylon. A second was medo-persia, third
29:50
one was Greece. Fourth one was Rome, right?
29:53
Okay. And Rome would be in power.
29:56
When the Lord, of course, himself would arrive in the
30:02
Incarnation. But okay, the people of the
30:06
prince who is Come. Has to be wrong because the the
30:12
Antichrist as we soften Daniel 7 Rises out of ten Nation
30:16
Confederacy, which is based in Rome.
30:19
So we understand, Daniel 9 to be a fulfillment of 70 AD when the
30:25
city was completely destroyed. That's why Christ says in.
30:27
Luke 21 these words, Luke chapter 21.
30:31
But when you see Jerusalem, surrounded by armies, then
30:34
recognize that her desolation is near.
30:37
Then those who are in Judea must flee to the Mountains and those
30:39
who are in the midst of the city must leave.
30:43
And those who are in the country, must not enter the city
30:46
because these are days of Vengeance that all things, which
30:50
are written, will be fulfilled, woe to those who are pregnant
30:54
and to those who are nursing babies.
30:56
In those days, for there will be great distress upon the land and
31:00
wrath to this people. And they will fall by the edge
31:03
of the sword and will be led captive into all the nations and
31:08
Jerusalem. Will be trampled underfoot by
31:11
the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
31:17
I remember the times of the Gentiles began when Daniel 11
31:21
verse number 1, That's when the time's the Gentiles began,
31:27
that's the time which the Gentiles dominate the land and
31:32
they dominate Israel and that continues Until the End.
31:38
Okay? So the times of the Gentiles
31:39
doesn't really end until this time right here at the end of
31:44
the tribulation at the end of the 70th week.
31:47
Because that's when God Saves Israel and they, they now Rule
31:52
and reign with their Messiah. In the millennial Kingdom.
31:58
So Messiah, the prince, the prince, I mean, the prince who
32:02
is to come the Antichrist. His people are going to destroy
32:09
the city, and of course, 70 AD can read about it.
32:12
Josephus in his is book, The, the history and Antiquities of
32:17
the Jews and realize all about the destruction and how 1.1
32:21
million Jews were crucified and they ran out of wood with all
32:25
the four surrounding Jerusalem. They cut down every tree that
32:30
they possibly could. Because they were crucified
32:32
every Jew they could find they slaughtered them.
32:36
The times that desolation would continue as a determined time.
32:40
That's what it says in Daniel chapter 9, it says even to the
32:44
end. There will be War.
32:45
Desolations are determined. There will be much War, much
32:50
more and then and then you got your point.
32:52
Number six, the Covenant of the future Prince that happens in
32:57
verse number 27, and he will make a firm Covenant with the
33:04
Mini 4. One Week, there's your 70th
33:09
week, so we know that there is a week, it's one week.
33:14
We know that after 69 weeks, Messiahs cut off, he's not cut
33:19
off during the 69 weeks, he's not cut off in the 70th week.
33:24
He's cut off after the 69th week, the cities destroyed after
33:28
the 69th week, but then there's going to be a covenant made with
33:32
Israel confirmed with Israel for One week.
33:39
That's your 70th week. Now remember There are 70 weeks
33:43
that have been determined cut out for Israel and the Holy City
33:49
Jerusalem. Not the church.
33:52
The church was not in the first 69 weeks of the prophecy.
33:57
The church will not be in the 70th week of the prophecy.
34:04
Why? Because it's not for the church.
34:08
It's for Israel and their holy city and then it says very
34:15
clearly. That he that is the prince.
34:19
Who is to come will make a firm Covenant with the many for one
34:24
week. What you going to do?
34:26
He is going to confirm every treaty.
34:29
That Israel has. That's why in Revelation 6.
34:32
Verse number 24, the think I get that up there, right?
34:34
Revelation 6, verse 22, he comes on the back of a horse having
34:39
having a boat with no arrows because he comes in peace, he
34:41
makes peace. Before he talked about Ezekiel
34:45
38. Remember when Russia comes
34:47
against Israel in the Antichrist leads Israel against Russia and
34:51
defeats them and all that does is increase his hero status.
34:56
He becomes not just the prince of some semblance of Peace for
35:02
Israel because Ezekiel 38 says, they live a nun walled cities.
35:06
What does that mean? There's no fear of anything
35:09
happening to them because they're at peace.
35:12
And it says these words. But in the middle of the week,
35:20
he will put a stop to sacrifice in Grain offering.
35:24
When is that take place at the expense to the temple?
35:26
That means there has to be a temple during the 70th week of
35:29
Daniel prophecy, because he's going to put it in, to the
35:33
sacrifices, he's going to put it into the offerings.
35:37
Well, for that to happen, there has to be a temple in Jerusalem
35:43
on the Temple Mount and so, They're going to build Israel's
35:48
going to build a temple for their anti Messiah.
35:53
And there will be peace. Yes will be wars and rumors of
35:57
wars and they'll be difficulties all throughout the whole
36:00
tribulation period, but the very beginning when he confirms a
36:04
covenant with Israel, you will be a covenant of peace and that
36:08
Covenant will allow him to rule in Israel and he will be there.
36:13
Anti-messiah But then it says these words.
36:20
Ben Miller week, he will put a stop to sacrifice a grain
36:23
offering and on the wing of abomination, will come one who
36:26
makes desolate. This is what Christ referred to
36:31
as the abomination of desolation.
36:34
How do you make the temple in Jerusalem and Abomination
36:38
through idolatry and what is the idolatry?
36:42
He sets himself up as king to be worshipped, we were dead.
36:47
We went through our study of second Thessalonians. 2nd
36:51
Thessalonians chapter 2. Verse number 4, says these
36:56
words, it says this man of lawlessness.
36:59
The stone destruction who opposes and exalts himself above
37:02
every so-called God or object of worship.
37:05
Said. He takes his seat in the temple
37:07
of God displaying himself as being God.
37:13
And so the false prophet, okay, the Babylonian Harlot who has
37:19
helped him, rot come to power, he destroys her couldn't
37:25
Revelation 17 as well, why he's going to destroy Israel's
37:29
worship is going to destroy the false churches worship because
37:34
he will be the only one who can be.
37:37
Worshiped, he wants sets himself up to be God.
37:40
That's the abomination of desolation.
37:43
So Daniel, here's all this Daniels listening.
37:47
That's why Gable says, get it heat it, understand it.
37:53
There are 70 weeks of Daniel. 70 weeks that have been decreed
37:59
have been cut out of the entire time.
38:05
Of the world. Specifically dealing with the
38:08
nation of Israel and the City Jerusalem.
38:12
He says, I'm going to tell you when they begin.
38:14
Okay. The decree of artaxerxes, March,
38:17
14, 445 BC. This is exactly when it's going
38:20
to begin. He doesn't know that yet.
38:21
It's going to happen, right? He just letting everybody know
38:25
when it's going to be in. So, you know, the time frame of
38:28
the 70 weeks of Daniel is prophecy, In those first seven
38:32
weeks, City Boot will be real, the wall would be rebuilt.
38:37
The infrastructure will be rebuilt.
38:39
Everything we take care of in those first seven weeks, and
38:42
then, they'll be 62 weeks. And that will be after the Book
38:45
of Malachi and there will be a time of 400 silent years.
38:49
There know, this yet, they're just waiting and waiting and
38:52
waiting for messiah to come And when he finally gets there on
38:56
the day, 80 32 April, 6th on the day of visitation, that they
39:02
should have known. They did not know.
39:05
Is this one Messiah was going to visit them and they missed it,
39:08
right? Well, after those 69 weeks
39:12
Messiah will be cut off. The city will be made desolate.
39:16
That was 40 years later. So you have a gap, right?
39:21
Then you have the church age, it's been Years.
39:25
Well he would have never known that, but the Bible is filled
39:29
with gaps. Let me show you this Isaiah 9,
39:33
you know, as a 9, right? Let me read it to you 46.
39:38
For a child, will be born to us. A son, will be given and the
39:41
government will rest on his shoulders.
39:43
See the gap. The child was given the Sun.
39:49
The child was born, a son was given, right?
39:51
But the government was that up on a shoulders.
39:53
One in the Incarnation. There's a gap that's there.
39:57
It is says, his name will be called, wonderful, counselor,
40:00
Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
40:02
There will be no end to the increase of his government or of
40:06
Peace on the throne of David and over his kingdom.
40:11
That hasn't happened. There's a huge gap there to
40:15
establish it and to uphold it with Justice and righteousness
40:18
from then on and forever. More the Zeal of the Lord of
40:21
hosts will accomplish this, there's coming to King He is a
40:25
son that's given, he is a child that's born.
40:29
He is called The Mighty God because he's God In the Flesh.
40:32
He is El Gabor, he is the Prince of Peace, is Everlasting,
40:36
father, that government, that rulership will be on the
40:39
shoulders, but it didn't happen when he arrived the first time
40:43
because there's a gap and that Gap is the church age between
40:48
the crucifixion of the Messiah until the Rapture of the church.
40:53
That's why we Leave in the Rapture of the church before the
40:56
tribulation because the tribulation period, the seventh
41:00
week of years prophecy, the church is not mentioned in the
41:04
Book of Revelation. Why?
41:06
Because they're not a part of the 70th week of Daniel is
41:09
prophesying, why? Because they're not a part of
41:11
the time of Jacob's trouble. Jeremiah chapter 30 verse number
41:14
7. Say, it's not for the church.
41:17
It's for Israel. It's the purging out of Israel.
41:22
Zechariah 13. Whoo-hoo.
41:24
Thirds will die. One third will be saved.
41:28
That's the all of Romans 11 that goes into the Kingdom.
41:34
So there's a gap in Isaiah 9. There is a gap.
41:39
Isaiah 61 The spirit of the Lord God is upon me.
41:44
Now, remember this is read by Christ.
41:46
And Luke chapter 4 in a synagogue in Nazareth because
41:50
the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to The
41:52
Afflicted. He has sent me to blot bind up
41:54
the Brokenhearted to Proclaim Liberty to captives and freedom,
41:57
to prisoners, to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord, and
42:04
the day of Vengeance of our God. But there's a gap.
42:08
Because when it says to proclaim the favorable year of Our Lord,
42:11
the Lord closes the scroll and says today, this has been
42:16
fulfilled in your hearing every Rabbi said, one day is going to
42:21
be fulfilled. On this day, this Rabbi said.
42:24
It is fulfilled. Why?
42:26
Because it wasn't the day of vengeance.
42:29
What is the day of Vengeance of the Avengers is right here.
42:33
See it, what? So there's a gap between To
42:39
verse to a inverse to be. Now, if I'm a Jew and I'm
42:47
reading this, I don't see the Gap.
42:50
Why? Because it's a mystery, it's a
42:53
mystery. But a Daniel 9.
42:57
Okay? There is a gap.
42:59
There is a gap between 69th week and the 70th week because
43:03
Messiah has to die SB. Cut off the city has to be
43:07
destroyed. But there's nothing mention of
43:10
the church because that's a mystery in the Old Testament.
43:14
So you go on and you read, Luke chapter 1, Luke chapter 1 and
43:25
behold. You will conceive in your womb
43:27
and bear a son. And you shall name him Jesus.
43:29
He will be great, and be called the son of the most high.
43:32
And the Lord, God will give him the Throne of his father David.
43:35
See, the gap. Say no, I didn't see the Gap.
43:38
Yeah, it's right there. You missed it.
43:40
How did you miss it? Talking angel, Gabriel talking
43:43
to Mary behold. You will conceive in your womb
43:45
and she did Bear, son. She did you call his name,
43:48
Jesus? She did.
43:50
He will be great. He was, he'll be called, son of
43:52
the most high. He was Gap and the Lord.
43:58
God will give him the Throne of his father David.
44:02
See the Gap. There, the Bible still with
44:04
gaps. So when you read Daniel chapter
44:07
9, and you see this Gap, that's there, after the 69th.
44:11
A week and then there's one week where which is the 70th week
44:16
where the Antichrist confirms a covenant with this real for that
44:19
period of time which is seven years why it's 77s 70 years of
44:27
seven which is 490 years. Well you only have 483 years and
44:31
these 69 weeks. So you got seven years left that
44:35
takes place in the one week, which we call the tribulation
44:37
period. We're in the halfway in between
44:39
that tribulation period is you. Combination of desolation.
44:44
With the anti-crisis worshipped wants to be honored as king as
44:48
God. That's not where it ends got to
44:52
read on. So go back to Daniel 9.
44:56
It says. even until here's a good news, a complete
45:04
destruction. One that is decreed is poured
45:07
out on the one who makes desolate.
45:13
So there is a decree that's been predetermined.
45:17
That the one who makes desolate will be destroyed.
45:21
And when does that happen, it happens when the king returns at
45:26
the end of the tribulation Revelation chapter 19 And the
45:30
Beast and the false prophet are bound for a thousand years
45:37
before their let loose at the end of those thousand years and
45:39
then cast into the Lake of Fire because it has to happen that
45:45
way. Because this is when Israel has
45:48
the Forgiveness of sins, this is Zachariah chapter 12, their sins
45:52
were atoned for Calvary, but they didn't believe that Jesus
45:55
was the Messiah. But when they look on him whom
45:58
they have pierced, the Eyes that they killed their Messiah and
46:01
the repent of their sins will put an end to sin, right?
46:05
And he will finish the transgression and then he'll
46:09
bring in Everlasting righteousness, he will seal up.
46:12
What the vision of Prophecy, what does that mean?
46:15
For the last week he puts it into the vision and prophecy.
46:17
What are the visions of Prophecy?
46:19
The visions of Prophecy, deal with the Judgment upon the
46:23
nation of Israel? He brings it into that why there
46:26
is no more It's done all his real now is saved.
46:30
And with last Point, what's that say right there?
46:34
I can't read. I have my glasses on.
46:36
See, there you go. See that.
46:39
And so, he establishes his kingdom, and he rules and
46:42
Reigns. Why?
46:44
Because the government must be upon his shoulders, he has to
46:47
sit on the throne of his father, David.
46:51
When is he going to do? That isn't do it until this
46:56
time. During the middle of the
46:57
millennial age for a thousand years, we rules and Reigns for
47:03
all eternity. See.
47:07
We know more. Than Fox News, CNN, MSNBC and
47:13
everybody else because we know it.
47:16
Daniel 9 says, if we can read the Bible, we know how it all
47:20
going to end. Because been very clear.
