Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things"
2Ti 2:7.

#Seventy_Weeks_Determined
#Six_Events_Ordained

“Seventy weeks 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” (Dan 9:24).

God anointed Jesus at His baptism. This is a fabulous Bible prophecy. It perfectly times years from Cyrus to Christ. Six things to occur are listed. Can you find the six? If you are not thrilled by them, you have a terrible spiritual problem. Repent, and beg God for mercy and light. Satan and Scofield hate this prophecy, so they ruin its start, corrupt its years, alter its content, make Jesus the antichrist, defile its covenant, redirect its desolation, change its abominations, mock the church, invent the rapture and tribulation, and deny any known end, etc.

The Timing

A. We know this prophecy of 70 weeks is a prophecy of 490 years, 70 weeks of years (70x7).
1. Such a principle was introduced 1000 years earlier to Moses (Numbers 14:33-35).
2. We encountered this principle of a year for a day already in chapter seven (Daniel 7:25).
3. We assumed it there and rejected it in chapter eight by context, the timeframe of the
prophecies: chapter seven covers the last 2000 years and chapter eight only the Greeks.
4. We are blessed to know this fulfillment, and we know that it took precisely these years.
5. The coordination with the expiring 70 years of Jeremiah 25 implies 70 weeks of years.
6. The issue of a year for a day is not debated; but the issue of a gap is certainly debated.

B. The time was determined! It is not open for modification, extension, suspension, or other lies.
1. Here is the crux and key of the prophecy: God is true and determined exactly 70 weeks.
2. It was given to Daniel for knowledge and understanding, so it is a defined period of time.
3. Every man that fears God will not have a problem with this prophecy, but the fear of man brings a snare, for you will have to go against the popular opinions of the present day.
4. If you believe God, it all happened within 490 years, which limits it to our Lord Jesus.
5. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to insert any kind of a gap into these words.
6. The fulfillment in our Lord’s anointing, ministry, death, and apostles is divinely precise.
7. You need not know any other details for proof – this prophecy must end by A.D. 33.

C. The 70 weeks of years appertain to Daniel’s people and their city, which ended in 70 A.D.
1. Readers of Daniel know that the abomination of desolation would occur before the holy people were finally scattered, which the Romans executed following 70 A.D. (Dan 12:7).
2. Bible readers know Jesus described the destruction of Daniel’s people and city in His generation (Matt 3:7-12; 21:33-46; 22:1-7; 24:2; Luke 19:41-44; 21:20-33; 23:27-31).
3. Any student of history knows that the people called Jews and their city were destroyed by Titus Vespasian in A.D. 70, who is yet honored for this great event by an arch in Rome.
4. Six very important events would occur within the 490 years limiting the prophecy.
5. The fulfillment of these events must be found in Messiah the Prince before A.D. 33.
6. Many of the Futurist speculators say these will not be fulfilled until the Millennium, claiming that there are no events in the history of the world to fulfill these prophecies!
