Prophetic Times To The End - Part Nine

Dan. 9:19 Daniel’s prayer continues, he says, hear and forgive, listen and take action, Lord God for your sake, Heavenly Father, do not delay, because your city and your people are called by your name have compassion on us.

Dan. 9:20 Daniel tells us while he was speaking and praying, confessing his sins and the sins of the people of Israel, Daniel was presenting prayer and supplications before the Lord God on behalf of God’s Holy temple, Gods dwelling place among His people.

Dan. 9:21 Daniel tells us that while he was speaking in prayer, (this verse confirms the fact that the angel Gabriel provided the explanations of the dreams in Chapter 7 of the book of Daniel), that Gabriel came to him in his weariness of the extensive prayer and supplication Daniel was petitioning before God the Father. Daniel goes on to say it was about the time for the evening offering, when,

Dan. 9:22 Daniel says, that Gabriel gave him instructions, and had conversation with him. Gabriel said, “O Daniel”, I have come to tell you to give you insight and understanding.

Dan. 9:23 Daniel says, that Gabriel explained that God the Fathers command was issued at the beginning of Daniels supplications. Gabriel tells Daniel that he “Daniel” is highly esteemed, for Daniel should give heed to this message and gain understanding of the vision given to Daniel by God the Father.

Dan. 9:24 Gabriel tells Daniel that seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin (Ref. Ex.29:33) (That which makes atonement for sin), to make for everlasting righteousness, (when the time of transgression is finished) to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy places. (All of which Daniels prayers and petitions to God the Father have been).

Dan. 9:25 Gabriel says to Daniel, that, Daniel is to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem (Ref. Neh.2) (Is the only mention or decree in scripture authorizing the rebuilding of the city, this decree was issued in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes in 445 B.C.), until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; (from the date 445 B.C. as a beginning, the first sixty-nine weeks reach to “Messiah the Prince”). (Reference to Jesus Christ first advent) The city will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in “times of distress”. (Refers to the tribulation period)

Dan. 9:26 Gabriel tells Daniel, that, then after sixty-two weeks of time the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, (Christ’s first advent will be “cut off” and will not obtain any of His regal glory ( Refers to the fact that Christ the Messiah of Israel will be rejected by the people and His kingdom will be established during the Millennial period ), at this time secondly the rebuilt city and sanctuary will again be destroyed “by the people” of the “prince who is to come” will accomplish this destruction in 70 A.D. The “prince who is to come” is the little horn who will arise out of the ten nations of the revived Roman Empire at a future time even from this writing. Gabriel tells Daniel that the end will come with completeness but that until the end comes there will be wars, and desolations determined through this period of time down through to the end of the ages of what is called the end of the “times of the Gentiles.”

Dan. 9:27 Gabriel tells Daniel, that, the beast will make a firm and absolute covenant with the nation Israel for one week, (this one week is the seventieth week, the last week of Daniels prophecy and the end of the reign of the Gentiles), but in the middle of the week the beast will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; (remember our time, times, and a half time from vs. 25 of the seventh chapter of Daniel which=three and one half years. Daniel is being told that in the middle of this time period of the seventieth week the beast will break his covenant with Israel, and forcible interruptions of the Jewish ritual of worship by the roman prince, the anti-christ. He will introduce “abominations” that render God’s sanctuary desolate. Gabriel goes on to say after the beast makes all things completely desolate, even until a complete destruction, (this refers to the entire levitiacal system, which tells us that Israel will have restored that system in the first half of the seventieth week, which also should tell us that the “Church” must have been “caught up” at the time of the “End of the Gentiles”). [Ref. 1Thess. 4:17; 1Cor. 15:51-53]. For the beast is now “passing off” as the world’s rightful king, god, and Israel’s prince of peace, who will then turn against Israel and become her destroyer and defiler. This also tells us that the seventieth week of Daniel’s prophecy, yet unfulfilled, must likewise be fulfilled literally. Gabriel says, “The one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.” (Jesus Christ the rightful king will bring down the anti-christ forever).
The beasts end will come, as God has decreed the beasts end will come, “poured out on him, along with the false prophet he will be cast into the lake of fire, (reserved for them and Satan), when Christ returns to the earth wages war with the anti-christ defeats him and then Christ sets up the Millennial kingdom on earth. [Ref. Rev.19:20; Dan. 7:11,26].
