… 70 weeks have been decreed for your people. Now, what does that mean? What Gabriel is saying is 490 years have been decreed for your people and your holy city. And in these 490 years, here's what is going to happen to finish up God's plan for Israel. In these 490 years, first of all, to finish the transgression, that is to put an end to Israel's rebellion, to make an end of sin. This is a reference to the eradication of the sacrificial system. No more sacrifices needed. Why? Thirdly, to make an atonement for iniquity. Israel's sins will have been finally paid for sometime during this 490-year period. To bring in everlasting righteousness. That's a reference to the millennium, the rule of Christ on earth. To seal up vision and prophecy. That means no more prophecy needed any longer. And to anoint the most holy place. That is to rebuild the temple and have it be a permanent fixture on the earth. In other words, Gabriel said, Daniel, in 490 years, all of these things are going to happen and all of these promises are going to be fulfilled. …
… the anointed one Daniel chapter 9 verses 24 to 27 says you want to know how you identify Israel's Messiah yes tell us how well the big deal is he's going to be cut off for committing a capital offense and for that he dies what capital offense did Jesus commit You have to think this through. He's sinless. So how does this apply to him? Ah, why did they kill him? Why did they coerce? Listen, the whole trial, all the trials that went on that night, all of those trials were illegal. The Jews could not hold trial at night. It's against the law. And they are pressuring the Romans to go along with their nefarious plot. Doesn't the Bible say that they hired liars to testify against Jesus? What was going on? they this god is so amazing did not the bible tell us from old to new testament that the messiah would die for our sins think of isaiah 53 so how's the messiah going to die for our sins he's going to die for our sins but what about those who who rejected him did god make them reject him did god Did God condemn them so that they had to reject Jesus? …
Let me show you what we're talking about. Daniel 9, verse 24. This is an angel speaking to Daniel somewhere around the mid-6th century BC. He says, 70 weeks are decreed about your people, the Jews, and about your holy city, that would be Jerusalem, to bring the rebellion to an end. That's what's gonna happen at the end of these 70 weeks. There's gonna put a stop to all sin. We're gonna atone for iniquity. We're gonna bring in everlasting righteousness. We're gonna seal up vision of prophecy. It's all gonna come true and there's not gonna be any use for it anymore. And we're gonna anoint the most holy place, which means that God will be reunited with his people. 70 total weeks, Daniel says, involving the Jews and Jerusalem until the end of time. Now, very important. A week in the Jewish language just means a period of seven. It could mean seven days, could be seven months, or it could mean, as it does here, seven years, a week of years. …
… this? It's amazing. The church has continued on the evangelistic work, but that's what the tribulation is for. That's what Daniel chapter 9 verses 24 to 27 is for. The tribulation period, look at it this way. It's the opportunity for the Jews to preach the gospel to the ends of the earth like they should have 2,000 years ago, but God nowhere says he replaces them. Nowhere. Nowhere. In fact, the book of Revelation does say, in the book of Revelation, letters to the seven churches, Jesus says that, and he condemns them who say they are Jews and are not, but are of the synagogue of Satan. there are people who are saying, we're the new Jews. The church has taken the place. Well, you're not a Jew. No, but we've taken the place of the Jew. Interesting. Jesus said, watch out for those who say they're Jews and are not. Wow. Yeah, when anybody brings it up, Romans 9, 10, 11. You can't read chapter 9 without reading 10 and 11. …
