Daniel
Chapter
9
1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;
2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
3 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
4 And I prayed unto the Lord my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
5 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from your precepts and from your judgments:
6 Neither have we hearkened unto your servants the prophets, which spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7 O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto you, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither you has driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against you.
8 O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.
9 To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;
10 Neither have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
11 Yea, all Israel have transgressed your law, even by departing, that they might not obey your voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.
12 And he hath confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
13 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand your truth.
14 Therefore hath the Lord watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the Lord our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.
15 And now, O Lord our God, that has brought your people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and has gotten you renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
16 O Lord, according to all your righteousness, I beseech you, let thine anger and your fury be turned away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people are become a reproach to all that are about us.
17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of your servant, and his supplications, and cause your face to shine upon your sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.
18 O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by your name: for we do not present our supplications before you for our righteousnesses, but for your great mercies.
19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for your city and your people are called by your name.
20 And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God;
21 Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
22 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give you skill and understanding.
23 At the beginning of your supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to showed you; for you art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
{See Revelation 11:15 in connection with this verse}
{Prophesy
of the 2nd Advent of Christ at the end of the Tribulation - Daniel's
70th week}
{Six
things to be accomplished at the end of the second increment of 490 years}
24~~
490 years {literally 'seventy weeks' or 70 x 7 = 490 years}
have
been decreed
for
your people {Israel}
and
upon your holy city {Jerusalem},
{1}
to finish the transgression {2nd Advent terminates 5th cycle of discipline},
and {2} to make an end of sins {baptism of fire - all unbelievers removed for Millennium},
and {3} to make propitiatory covering over iniquity {regathering of the Jews},
and {4} to bring in everlasting righteousness,
and {5} to seal up the vision and prophecy {fulfillment of the unconditional promises to Israel},
and {6} to dedicate the Holy of Holies {Millennial temple}.
{Note: Israel was given 490 lunar years (360 days each) as the client nation to God. God declared that they take a sabbatical year every 7th year. They took zero out of 70 potential ones. So, God 'gave' them 70 years off straight - in slavery starting in BC 586. At BC 516, their 70 year period ended because the new temple to God was finished. Now, God has promised them another 490 lunar years as the client nation to God - with the clock beginning again in BC 445.}
{Chronology
between the two administrations of 5th cycle of discipline}
25~~You
must Know then {perception of bible doctrine}
and
understand {application of doctrine to experience},
that
from the issuing of the decrees
to
restore and to rebuild Jerusalem
unto
the Messiah the Prince
{1st Advent - from the next verse we see it is referring to His death
- 30-32 AD} will be {483 lunar years} {literally 'seven, and 62
weeks or 69 x 7 = 483'}
the
streets {of Jerusalem} shall be built again,
and
the moats {walls},
even
in times of distress.
{Three increments of time 49 years + 434 = 483 or Daniel's first 69 weeks and then a break for the Church Age. Then 7 more years of the Tribulation}
26~~Then
after the 434/'62 weeks' have passed {literally 'threescore and two weeks'}
then
Messiah will be cut off -
but
not for Himself
{for the sins of the World - not for Himself - April 6, 30 AD - best
estimate}-
and
the people {Romans who destroy Jerusalem in 70 AD} -
of
the prince who is to come
{Dictator of the Revived Roman Empire in the Tribulation} -
shall
destroy the city {Jerusalem in 70 AD}
and
the sanctuary/temple {August AD 70};
and
the end
will
come like a flood.
Furthermore,
to the end
{2nd 'end' - the end of the Jewish Age - 2nd Advent of Christ} . . .
wars
and disasters are decreed.
{Daniel's
70th week}
27~~And
He {Dictator of the Revived Roman Empire}
shall
make a confirm covenant/treaty
with
the many {Jews in the Tribulation}
for
7 years {literally - one week}.
And
in the midst of the week
he
shall cause the sacrifice
and
the food offerings to stop.
and
under the protection of the abominations {ecumenical religion}
There
come one {Roman Dictator}
who
causes desolation
until
the end {the end of the Tribulation},
then,
what is decreed {Lake of fire},
will
be poured out
on
the desolator.
