Daniel Chapter 9

Jesus Spoke With: Peter, James, John & Andrew - He points them to Daniel 9 as the Key to End Time Prophecy

Verse 24 : The Overview Verse 25 : The 69 Weeks Verse 26 : The Interval Verse 27 : The 70th Week

We’ll cover these during Week 6

"Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people & 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 * to anoint the most holy.”

"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,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble.”

The Seed of Woman The Promised Nation The Chosen People The Tribe of Judah The God Given Law The Promised Land The Royal Family Line Kings & Kingdoms (Israel & Gentile)

After All This: The Creator, King, Priest, Savior, Redeemer will now break the curse!

“From the issuing of the decree… until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes…”

Gabriel gave a starting point (from) and a stopping point (until). He also gave the time between these two events there will be 7 ‘sevens,’ and 62 ‘sevens.’ 7 + 62 = 69 (1 ‘seven’ short of the 70). 69 weeks of years (69 x 7 years) is 483 years; 7 years short of the 490.

69 weeks of years (69 x 7 years)

Matthew 21:1-5 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at

• nce you will find a donkey tied there,

with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.” This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet: “Say to the Daughter of Zion, ‘See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”

“When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: ‘Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ‘Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!’” Luke 19:37-38

Luke 19:37-38

The people were singing and quoting Psalm 118 A Psalm that is sung specifically during the Feast of Tabernacles They were hailing Jesus as the Meshiach Nagid – The Messiah King

Isaiah 52:13 – 53:12:The Suffering Servant Prophecy

The John 3:16

• f the Old Testament

Written 700 years before Jesus

See, my servant will act wisely ; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted. Just as there were many who were appalled at him -- his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness-- so will he sprinkle many nations, and kings will shut their mouths because of him. For what they were not told, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand.

Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry

• ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his

appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him

• not. Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered

him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are

• healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own

way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Isaiah 52:13 – 53:12:The Suffering Servant Prophecy

Isaiah 52:13 – 53:12:The Suffering Servant Prophecy He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away. And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut

• ff from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was

stricken. He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life a guilt offering, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.

Isaiah 52:13 – 53:12:The Suffering Servant Prophecy

After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light [of life] and be satisfied ; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities. Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
