Chapter 14.9
The 70 Weeks of
Daniel’s Prophecy
The Messiah of Israel would be revealed to
the Jews, be killed and their temple destroyed.
The Anti-Christ will make a PEACE TREATY for seven years, then break it after only
3 ½ years.
The Anti-Christ
will set up an image of himself to be worshipped; Abomination of Desolation
First
Word
This
is where we get the SEVEN YEARS of the Tribulation period. The 70 weeks mentioned in Daniel is Seventy times Seven
weeks for a total of 490 years.
The clock started when the Persian King
Artaxerxes Longimanus gave the Jews permission to leave their Babylonian
captivity and rebuild the city of Jerusalem.
This was April 445BC
After 69 weeks of years (69 X 7) or 483 years of this allotment
of time,
THE MESSIAH
OF ISRAEL WOULD BE REVEALED TO THE JEWS,
BE KILLED
AND THEIR TEMPLE DESTROYED. Time is now on hold.
490 years minus 483 years leaves 7 years (The Tribulation
period) , the remaining time for the 144,000 Sealed Jews to reach out
and preach the message of the Messiah throughout the world. During this time, God will reach out to the
unbelieving world primarily through his chosen people, the Jewish nation.
Daniel 9:24-27 – (490 –49 –434) = 1 week of 7
years remaining
24 SEVENTY `sevens' (490) are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an
end to sin,
to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, TO SEAL UP VISION and PROPHECY and to anoint
the most holy.
25 "Know
and understand this: From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild
Jerusalem until
the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there
will be SEVEN `sevens,'(49) and SIXTY-TWO `sevens.' (434) - It will be rebuilt with streets and a
trench, but in times of trouble.
(49 +434 =483) (490 -483 =7
years of tribulations)
26 After the sixty-two `sevens,' (434) the Anointed One will be cut off (killed) and will have
nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy
the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will
continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed.
27 He (Anti-Christ) will confirm a covenant (Peace Treaty) with many for one `seven.' (7 years) In the middle of
the `seven'
(3 ½ years) he (Anti-Christ) will put an end to sacrifice and
offering... And on the wing (of the temple) he (Anti-Christ) will set up an
“ABOMINATION THAT CAUSES DESOLATION”,
(Image of the Anti-Christ to be worshipped)
until the end
that is decreed is poured out on him."
NIV
144,000 Evangelist Rabbit Trail
Many facets of the tribulation began long before the Rapture
by as much 20 to 30 years such as the birth of the Antichrist and False Prophet (Both
mortal men). So in essence you could say that the rapture
and the tribulation
“sort of”
overlap each other.
The Antichrist will already be
on the scene before “the rapture” as a peaceful conqueror and helps
establish the United
States of Europe which we call
the Revived
Roman Empire. He is not yet a
world leader and by all outwardly appearances, seems to be a really good guy.
God
promised Abraham a son, who would be the beginning of a “special race” of people that
would be blessed of God, a people that would be a witness to the pagan world; a race from which the Messiah
would be born.
Israel’s existence gave us the Old and New
Testaments and protected and preserved the purity of its scriptures. The Twelve
Tribes of Israel produces the 144,000 witnesses. [1] God
pours out His
Spirit on 144,000 Jews and they are sealed before
the beginning of the tribulation period
with the mark of Christ and preach the Gospel and testify of Him
throughout the whole world.[2]
It’s in the Book; the 144,000 are
ALL JEWS, they are NOT
Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses or Seventh Day Adventist.[3]
The 12 Tribes of Israel, by God’s Devine design, have already been
scattered throughout the world and are already a God
fearing people and are predestined
for just a time as this. Every nation and
tribe will hear them speaking in their own language and dialect, endued with
the same power as on the day of Pentecost; the gift of tongues. 144,000 life changers
with the zeal of the Apostle Paul.
Multitudes of Gentiles; people
from every nation will be saved,[4]
but lose their earthly life, only to gain eternal life with Jesus Christ. In
the Last Days of the tribulations God will pour out His Spirit and your sons
and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will
dream dreams.[5]
The SEAL of the living God speaks of PROTECTION and POSSESSION. Today, when a Believer receives Christ, he is
instantly sealed by the Holy Spirit and inherits
eternal life.
At the Rapture, the Church is GONE, the Holy
Spirit is gone and all that remains on
earth is the
Wicked, the Un-Believing, the Make-Believers and the sealed
144,000 tongue talking Evangelist.
In
the time of Moses, the tribulation
plagues “Passed over” the children of
Israel, but NOT this time.
The remaining
Jews and the Gentiles will get it full force, there is NO Passover.
Revelation
14:1-5 - The 144,000 evangelist were without blame
1 THEN I SAW THE LAMB STANDING ON MOUNT ZION,
AND
WITH HIM WERE 144,000 WHO HAD HIS NAME AND
HIS
FATHER’S NAME WRITTEN ON THEIR FOREHEADS. (His Mark)
2 And I heard a
sound from heaven like the roar of mighty ocean waves or the rolling of loud
thunder. It was like the sound of many harpists
3 This great
choir sang a wonderful new song in
front of the throne of God and before the four living beings and the
twenty-four elders.
NO ONE COULD LEARN THIS SONG EXCEPT THE 144,000
WHO HAD BEEN REDEEMED FROM THE EARTH.
4 They have kept
themselves as pure as virgins, following the Lamb wherever he goes. They have been purchased from among the people
on the earth as a special offering to God and to the Lamb.
5 They have told
no lies; they are without blame.
(NLT)
