𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗱𝗼𝗺 Eschatology, 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝟲𝟬The Church Eschatological Scope encompasses various aspects of the end times, including:𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗔𝗡 𝗢𝗙 𝗦𝗜𝗡- 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁❓ (𝟮)THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH “Know, therefore and understand that the going forth of the word to restore and rebuild Jerusalem to the coming of an ANOINTED ONE, a prince, there shall be SEVEN WEEKS. Then for sixty-two weeks, it shall be built again with squares and moat but in a troubled time,” Dan. 9:25, RSV. “And you should know and have the insight (that) from the going forth of (the) word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah (The) leader, there will be SEVEN WEEKS and SIXTY-TWO WEEKS…” (Interlinear Trans.) Going by the above “Sixty-Two weeks” of v. 25, these being part of the Seventy Weeks, though named second in order, must have continuity from the conclusion of the “Seven Weeks.”This then will make the time from Artaxerxes’ twentieth year to “Messiah the Leader” seven plus sixty-two “weeks” or “sixty-nine” “weeks”—i.e., 483 years—from 455 BCE to 29 CE. Therefore, the scripture in v. 25 is saying that from the going forth of the command to rebuild and restore Jerusalem to the coming forth of Messiah, the prince shall be “seven weeks” (7 years) plus three score and two weeks, making a total of 69 weeks or 483 years (i.e., 69 x 7 = 483 years).Did you get it? Realizing that, as we said before, each week of these 70 weeks is 7 years. It is evident from history, and the Bible records, that Jesus came to John to be baptized in the River Jordan with the Anointing coming, thereby answering to the “anointed one,” Messiah, in the autumn of that year, 27 AD. It could be possible that the Jews had calculated, on the basis of Daniel’s Prophecy, and so had a high expectation of the appearance of the Messiah at this time, as recorded in Luke 3:15; “As the people were in expectation, and all men questioned in their hearts, concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Christ.”And this is a very significant point to consider. Now let us tie up v. 26 with v. 25. WHO WAS THE MESSIAH THAT WAS KILLED? “And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be ‘cut off,’ but not himself…” KJV. “After that period of sixty-two sets of seven the anointed one will be killed, appearing to have accomplished nothing…” TLB. It is self-evident from the above, that the one that was killed is Christ. And that was after the 69 weeks, which will now be placed somewhere in the midst of the 70th week. And that must be about three and half years afterward; i.e., from the 69th week when He was crucified and giving His soul as a ransom for many (Isa. 53:8). This shows that Jesus spent the first half of the 70th week in the ministry. WHO ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE PRINCE? (V. 26) “… And the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.”This shows that what Daniel saw and wrote about (chapter nine) was what was going to happen to the people of Daniel, “the Jews,” and “His” Holy City, Jerusalem. And it is this fact that the writers of the Gospels referred to; e.g., Matt. 24:15.But it is unfortunate that all through the centuries of church history a lot of concepts, human philosophies of the events of the end time, have been woven into this chapter nine of Daniel from the original message, thereby distorting what the man Gabriel said to Daniel. One of the major facts of this passage is the WAR that the Jews and Jerusalem will be involved in, wherein complete desolations were determined or predicted.In verse 26 of this chapter, two princes are mentioned. One is for the people of Daniel who was cut off, the Prince of Peace; the second is called “The people of the Prince” who is to be involved in the destruction of the city. History identifies him to be General Titus, the Roman, whose soldiers are called the “people of the prince.”So let us get it clear. That which Daniel wrote about, which Jesus confirmed in Matt. 24, all took place in AD 70 and has nothing to do in any way with a universal “tribulation” that will affect the whole world and humanity, at large, through the instrumentality of an individual called “the Anti-Christ” or “Man-of-Sin.”That concept certainly is not scriptural and has no biblical foundation. It is completely a Pseudo-Religious Eschatology.To be continued.www.davidogaga.org.#Eschatos_DO ... See MoreSee Less
