Israel: The Prophetic Connection | John Tweedie - A Prophetic Panorama of the Future | May 5, 2026
  • What would you give
  • 00:00:01.002 --> 00:00:02.036
  • To know the future as we go forward from here,
  • 00:00:02.036 --> 00:00:05.873
  • Particularly that future that concerns this holy city?
  • 00:00:05.873 --> 00:00:09.510
  • You can see over my shoulders.
  • 00:00:09.510 --> 00:00:12.213
  • What's next on the prophetic connection?
  • 00:00:12.213 --> 00:00:15.550
  • Soft music
  • 00:00:15.850 --> 00:00:49.684
  • Daniel nine is one of the most important
  • 00:00:50.551 --> 00:00:52.787
  • Chapters in the entire bible. why?
  • 00:00:52.787 --> 00:00:56.991
  • Because it contains a key that can unlock the mysteries
  • 00:00:56.991 --> 00:01:01.129
  • Of the fulfillment of prophecies at the end of days.
  • 00:01:01.129 --> 00:01:04.465
  • But not only that, because jesus included in his teaching.
  • 00:01:04.465 --> 00:01:08.636
  • Recorded in matthew 24.
  • 00:01:09.137 --> 00:01:11.072
  • References.
  • 00:01:11.072 --> 00:01:11.906
  • Taken from daniel chapter nine.
  • 00:01:11.906 --> 00:01:18.246
  • Jeremiah had prophesied that jerusalem
  • 00:01:19.013 --> 00:01:21.649
  • And the first temple would be destroyed
  • 00:01:21.649 --> 00:01:23.484
  • By the babylonians,
  • 00:01:23.484 --> 00:01:24.752
  • And that for a period of 70 years after that,
  • 00:01:24.752 --> 00:01:27.822
  • The jewish exiles would remain in babylon.
  • 00:01:27.822 --> 00:01:31.159
  • Daniel was one of those exiles.
  • 00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:33.528
  • But how soon did he know that god had already placed
  • 00:01:33.528 --> 00:01:36.964
  • A 70 year time limit on the jewish exile in babylon?
  • 00:01:36.964 --> 00:01:41.469
  • We can see in other passages of the bible
  • 00:01:41.469 --> 00:01:44.172
  • That when a people is put into exile,
  • 00:01:44.172 --> 00:01:46.841
  • There's often a word spoken about how long will it be
  • 00:01:46.841 --> 00:01:50.111
  • To abraham?
  • 00:01:50.444 --> 00:01:51.512
  • God even tells him how long the people of israel
  • 00:01:51.512 --> 00:01:54.348
  • Will be in egypt.
  • 00:01:54.348 --> 00:01:55.983
  • So in this case, we're looking at
  • 00:01:55.983 --> 00:01:57.485
  • What did daniel know about the writings of jeremiah?
  • 00:01:57.485 --> 00:02:00.521
  • They do seem to be contemporaries.
  • 00:02:00.521 --> 00:02:02.390
  • We would read it
  • 00:02:02.390 --> 00:02:03.558
  • In its historical timeline that daniel was young,
  • 00:02:03.558 --> 00:02:07.128
  • Still in israel before the exile,
  • 00:02:07.128 --> 00:02:09.230
  • And jeremiah was already an elder and a prophet in israel
  • 00:02:09.230 --> 00:02:12.967
  • Before the exile.
  • 00:02:12.967 --> 00:02:13.901
  • We get several of the books of jeremiah
  • 00:02:13.901 --> 00:02:16.837
  • Referencing the exile, referencing the disobedience,
  • 00:02:16.837 --> 00:02:19.173
  • Referencing the judgment.
  • 00:02:19.173 --> 00:02:20.374
  • We have the lamentations of jeremiah as well.
  • 00:02:20.374 --> 00:02:24.078
  • So it may be because of daniel's royal family status
  • 00:02:24.078 --> 00:02:28.082
  • And his level of elite status in israel, for which
  • 00:02:28.082 --> 00:02:31.686
  • Nebuchadnezzar took him.
  • 00:02:31.686 --> 00:02:33.688
  • Maybe he had access to jeremiah directly.
  • 00:02:33.688 --> 00:02:36.190
  • I like to leave that open as an option that not only did
  • 00:02:36.190 --> 00:02:39.327
  • He know the writings of jeremiah,
  • 00:02:39.327 --> 00:02:40.561
  • But perhaps perhaps
  • 00:02:40.561 --> 00:02:42.563
  • He was even taught by jeremiah because of his status
  • 00:02:42.563 --> 00:02:45.032
  • And his accessibility to the nobility back in israel
  • 00:02:45.032 --> 00:02:48.536
  • Before the exile.
  • 00:02:48.536 --> 00:02:49.704
  • He might have understood some things very specifically
  • 00:02:49.704 --> 00:02:51.872
  • About the prophecy and might have been able
  • 00:02:51.872 --> 00:02:54.108
  • To get the interpretation from jeremiah himself.
  • 00:02:54.108 --> 00:02:57.678
  • But why
  • 00:02:57.912 --> 00:02:58.512
  • Would daniel
  • 00:02:58.512 --> 00:02:59.680
  • Pay attention to much less believe what jeremiah had said
  • 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.917
  • About the exile in babylon, lasting only 70 years?
  • 00:03:02.917 --> 00:03:06.787
  • Jeremiah is in is in the book of the prophets.
  • 00:03:07.688 --> 00:03:10.358
  • Daniel is in the book of the writings,
  • 00:03:10.358 --> 00:03:12.193
  • Even though he is a prophet
  • 00:03:12.193 --> 00:03:13.861
  • And as much as this tremendous amount of prophecy
  • 00:03:13.861 --> 00:03:16.631
  • In the book of daniel, jeremiah's
  • 00:03:16.631 --> 00:03:18.466
  • Is considered a higher level prophet.
  • 00:03:18.466 --> 00:03:21.602
  • Dan is unusual, by the way, that his prophecy is in exile,
  • 00:03:22.737 --> 00:03:25.206
  • Which is also an unusual phenomenon.
  • 00:03:25.206 --> 00:03:27.208
  • But jeremiah is really,
  • 00:03:27.208 --> 00:03:29.243
  • I would say, the foundational prophet
  • 00:03:29.243 --> 00:03:30.978
  • Of the end of the first temple period.
  • 00:03:30.978 --> 00:03:33.047
  • And i would say the rules that he lays down
  • 00:03:33.047 --> 00:03:35.583
  • About the scenario that's going to unfold
  • 00:03:35.583 --> 00:03:37.618
  • Are also heard with the broadest brushstrokes.
  • 00:03:37.618 --> 00:03:39.787
  • The big picture of what's going to happen.
  • 00:03:39.787 --> 00:03:41.656
  • The two, i would say main themes are,
  • 00:03:41.656 --> 00:03:45.326
  • You know, well, punishment.
  • 00:03:45.326 --> 00:03:46.894
  • Well, the i would say three punishment
  • 00:03:46.894 --> 00:03:48.129
  • For not listening, which leads to exile.
  • 00:03:48.129 --> 00:03:50.131
  • The timeframe for the exile
  • 00:03:50.731 --> 00:03:52.466
  • Is super important because that's very specific
  • 00:03:52.466 --> 00:03:55.136
  • That he gives a 70 year time frame.
  • 00:03:55.136 --> 00:03:57.405
  • Often prophecy is not that specific.
  • 00:03:57.405 --> 00:03:59.840
  • And of course, the idea that there's a redemption
  • 00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:02.076
  • Is that all prophecy, that all exile comes to an end,
  • 00:04:02.076 --> 00:04:05.746
  • That god never gives up on the jewish people
  • 00:04:05.746 --> 00:04:07.815
  • And that we will come back.
  • 00:04:07.815 --> 00:04:09.684
  • So that's the
  • 00:04:09.684 --> 00:04:10.751
  • If you look at what jeremiah is saying,
  • 00:04:10.751 --> 00:04:12.253
  • That's really the main points of his prophecy.
  • 00:04:12.253 --> 00:04:14.822
  • And daniel certainly is not going to be predicting,
  • 00:04:14.822 --> 00:04:19.694
  • Prophesying anything different from that,
  • 00:04:19.694 --> 00:04:21.529
  • Just possibly filling in more details into the picture
  • 00:04:21.529 --> 00:04:24.632
  • That jeremiah doesn't talk about, what
  • 00:04:24.632 --> 00:04:26.100
  • Jeremiah doesn't give in his prophecy
  • 00:04:26.100 --> 00:04:28.602
  • Is any of the things that daniel sees,
  • 00:04:28.602 --> 00:04:30.204
  • The empires that have come later.
  • 00:04:30.204 --> 00:04:32.006
  • He sort of
  • 00:04:32.006 --> 00:04:33.240
  • Is the prophecy leading the jews to a certain point of exile,
  • 00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.043
  • Dropping them off,
  • 00:04:36.043 --> 00:04:37.445
  • Telling them how long they're going to stay
  • 00:04:37.445 --> 00:04:38.846
  • And that they're going to come back.
  • 00:04:38.846 --> 00:04:40.781
  • But daniel
  • 00:04:40.781 --> 00:04:41.182
  • Then fills in
  • 00:04:41.182 --> 00:04:42.283
  • The details of
  • 00:04:42.283 --> 00:04:42.950
  • Not only what will happen
  • 00:04:42.950 --> 00:04:43.951
  • To the jewish people after, but what happens
  • 00:04:43.951 --> 00:04:45.219
  • To the nations of the world, the empires of the world,
  • 00:04:45.219 --> 00:04:47.621
  • All the way through to the end of days,
  • 00:04:47.621 --> 00:04:49.323
  • Something that the book of jeremiah
  • 00:04:49.323 --> 00:04:51.192
  • Does not go into anywhere near as much as daniel.
  • 00:04:51.192 --> 00:04:53.527
  • Daniel has probably a higher concentration of end of days
  • 00:04:53.527 --> 00:04:58.132
  • Prophetic imaging than any other prophet
  • 00:04:58.132 --> 00:05:00.801
  • In the entire hebrew bible, albeit
  • 00:05:00.801 --> 00:05:02.903
  • Extremely hard to understand most of it,
  • 00:05:02.903 --> 00:05:05.239
  • But much more focused on the future than the present,
  • 00:05:05.239 --> 00:05:08.209
  • Than i think any other prophet
  • 00:05:08.209 --> 00:05:10.010
  • We talk about in the hebrew scripture.
  • 00:05:10.010 --> 00:05:12.413
  • Does this mean that jeremiah's prophecies and writings had
  • 00:05:13.547 --> 00:05:16.484
  • A major influence on daniel's thinking and actions,
  • 00:05:16.484 --> 00:05:20.321
  • Especially as the 70 year period drew to a close?
  • 00:05:20.321 --> 00:05:23.724
  • Daniel is not only a prophet, but he recognizes in jeremiah
  • 00:05:24.925 --> 00:05:29.497
  • A prophet of the lord,
  • 00:05:29.497 --> 00:05:30.998
  • And he knows that
  • 00:05:30.998 --> 00:05:32.233
  • Jeremiah has said that the exile will be 70 years.
  • 00:05:32.233 --> 00:05:36.337
  • This is clear in his mind.
  • 00:05:36.337 --> 00:05:38.038
  • He understands that to be a word from god.
  • 00:05:38.038 --> 00:05:40.207
  • And so as that time approaches,
  • 00:05:40.207 --> 00:05:42.176
  • He realizes that
  • 00:05:42.176 --> 00:05:43.310
  • The time of the exile in babylon is coming to a close,
  • 00:05:43.310 --> 00:05:46.247
  • And it's time to call on the god of heaven,
  • 00:05:46.247 --> 00:05:49.250
  • To move his mighty hand and to release the captives.
  • 00:05:49.250 --> 00:05:53.220
  • Now, there may have been no evidence
  • 00:05:53.220 --> 00:05:54.722
  • That that was going to actually happen,
  • 00:05:54.722 --> 00:05:56.357
  • But he sees it in the scriptures.
  • 00:05:56.357 --> 00:05:58.359
  • He understands that jeremiah
  • 00:05:58.359 --> 00:05:59.627
  • Is prophesying by the spirit of god,
  • 00:05:59.627 --> 00:06:01.729
  • And so he begins to repent and call out to god
  • 00:06:01.729 --> 00:06:04.565
  • And to be a participant in what god has already
  • 00:06:04.565 --> 00:06:08.402
  • Said he would bring to pass.
  • 00:06:08.402 --> 00:06:10.104
  • But how are we to understand the mysterious 70 week
  • 00:06:11.105 --> 00:06:14.375
  • Prophetic timeline that is found in chapter nine?
  • 00:06:14.375 --> 00:06:18.212
  • The 70 week timeline is some of the most amazing
  • 00:06:19.213 --> 00:06:22.650
  • Prophetic words, in the bible and here
  • 00:06:22.650 --> 00:06:26.587
  • God is revealing to his prophet daniel,
  • 00:06:26.587 --> 00:06:29.156
  • This man who seeks understanding from god.
  • 00:06:29.156 --> 00:06:32.293
  • He's revealing to him the scope of history
  • 00:06:32.293 --> 00:06:35.296
  • And the phases that god is going to use to bring about this
  • 00:06:35.296 --> 00:06:39.433
  • Amazing milestone
  • 00:06:39.433 --> 00:06:40.901
  • So that that lead up to the culmination of human history.
  • 00:06:40.901 --> 00:06:44.071
  • So we have the 69 weeks, which is from the rebuilding
  • 00:06:44.071 --> 00:06:47.508
  • Of the temple till the coming of the messiah
  • 00:06:47.508 --> 00:06:50.511
  • And and jesus redemptive work on, on this, on this planet
  • 00:06:50.511 --> 00:06:54.748
  • That we have firmly fixed in history.
  • 00:06:54.748 --> 00:06:57.651
  • And we know that that is a prophecy of amazing accuracy,
  • 00:06:57.651 --> 00:07:01.455
  • Right down to the year and then the 70th week.
  • 00:07:01.455 --> 00:07:04.758
  • It's kind of mysterious because it's, broken in two parts.
  • 00:07:04.758 --> 00:07:09.196
  • And some would say that is a picture
  • 00:07:09.196 --> 00:07:11.665
  • Of the seven year tribulation that is yet to come.
  • 00:07:11.665 --> 00:07:15.503
  • And, and god's intervention during those seven
  • 00:07:15.503 --> 00:07:19.373
  • Years of tribulation,
  • 00:07:19.373 --> 00:07:21.108
  • If the covenant mentioned in
  • 00:07:21.709 --> 00:07:23.210
  • Verse 27 really is an end of days event,
  • 00:07:23.210 --> 00:07:27.181
  • Then who are the potential parties
  • 00:07:27.181 --> 00:07:29.016
  • That will negotiate and agree to this covenant?
  • 00:07:29.016 --> 00:07:32.853
  • In verse 27, the prophecy speaks of a covenant.
  • 00:07:33.854 --> 00:07:37.291
  • Now, there may have been a,
  • 00:07:37.291 --> 00:07:38.893
  • An application that was contemporary to
  • 00:07:38.893 --> 00:07:41.295
  • Daniel's time, but, i personally believe
  • 00:07:41.295 --> 00:07:44.999
  • That this has to do
  • 00:07:44.999 --> 00:07:45.966
  • With a covenant that is made by the antichrist
  • 00:07:45.966 --> 00:07:49.169
  • And that he breaks three and a half years
  • 00:07:49.169 --> 00:07:51.705
  • Into the seven year tribulation that really causes
  • 00:07:51.705 --> 00:07:56.043
  • Literally all hell to break loose and really brings about
  • 00:07:56.043 --> 00:07:59.747
  • The calamitous occurrences that precede the return of the lord.
  • 00:07:59.747 --> 00:08:04.018
  • If jeremiah is the prophet who foretold events up to
  • 00:08:05.085 --> 00:08:08.756
  • And including the destruction of jerusalem by the babylonians,
  • 00:08:08.756 --> 00:08:12.493
  • Then daniel is the prophet who proclaimed god's will
  • 00:08:12.493 --> 00:08:15.229
  • And plans for the nations afterwards.
  • 00:08:15.229 --> 00:08:17.831
  • That is, events that would occur throughout the
  • 00:08:17.831 --> 00:08:20.367
  • Rest of human history.
  • 00:08:20.367 --> 00:08:25.172
  • Don't go away after this short break.
  • 00:08:25.906 --> 00:08:27.942
  • Doctor john tweedie returns with his teaching.
  • 00:08:27.942 --> 00:08:31.946
  • What has happened in israel over
  • 00:08:32.580 --> 00:08:34.181
  • The past two years is heartbreaking.
  • 00:08:34.181 --> 00:08:36.083
  • Lives lost, families
  • 00:08:36.083 --> 00:08:37.618
  • Torn apart, children suffering hunger and homelessness.
  • 00:08:37.618 --> 00:08:40.921
  • The people of israel are going through a time of overwhelming
  • 00:08:40.921 --> 00:08:44.024
  • Pain and despair.
  • 00:08:44.024 --> 00:08:45.292
  • But hope can still be found even in the deepest darkness.
  • 00:08:45.292 --> 00:08:48.896
  • Today, as christians, we stand together with god's
  • 00:08:48.896 --> 00:08:52.132
  • Chosen nation to rebuild what has been shattered by war.
  • 00:08:52.132 --> 00:08:55.736
  • We can fulfill god's call to comfort his people
  • 00:08:55.736 --> 00:08:58.572
  • By offering food and humanitarian aid
  • 00:08:58.572 --> 00:09:00.941

  • Including thousands of children who are still at risk.

  • Together we can make a lasting difference.
  • 00:09:30.070 --> 00:09:41.315
  • The book of daniel is an
  • 00:09:41.849 --> 00:09:43.083
  • Exciting book of prophetic dreams and visions,
  • 00:09:43.083 --> 00:09:46.120
  • But perhaps one of the most exciting
  • 00:09:46.920 --> 00:09:48.489
  • Chapters of all is chapter nine,
  • 00:09:48.489 --> 00:09:50.324
  • Because it begins with a prayer, daniel's prayer.
  • 00:09:50.324 --> 00:09:53.761
  • But it ends with the appearance of gabriel, the archangel,
  • 00:09:53.761 --> 00:09:57.164
  • Who reveals to daniel the prophetic timeline
  • 00:09:57.164 --> 00:10:00.367
  • Of the coming of the messiah, even his death,
  • 00:10:00.367 --> 00:10:03.671
  • And then presumably his coming again at the end of days.
  • 00:10:03.671 --> 00:10:07.841
  • But let's begin in the beginning of chapter nine,
  • 00:10:07.841 --> 00:10:11.679
  • And it begins this way in the first year of darius,
  • 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:15.049
  • The son of asa, heroes of the lineage of the medes
  • 00:10:15.049 --> 00:10:18.852
  • And the meads and the persians,
  • 00:10:18.852 --> 00:10:20.654
  • With a military alliance that conquered babylon,
  • 00:10:20.654 --> 00:10:24.725
  • Who was made king over the realm of the chaldeans.
  • 00:10:24.725 --> 00:10:28.395
  • That's just another way of saying the babylonians.
  • 00:10:28.395 --> 00:10:32.132
  • And of course, this darius served under cyrus
  • 00:10:32.132 --> 00:10:35.803
  • The great, who in fact was a benevolent king
  • 00:10:35.803 --> 00:10:38.672
  • Toward the jewish people, and let them return to jerusalem,
  • 00:10:38.672 --> 00:10:42.676
  • And in fact enable them to rebuild their temple.
  • 00:10:42.676 --> 00:10:45.979
  • But the concern we have with chapter nine is that it's,
  • 00:10:45.979 --> 00:10:49.383
  • In a sense, out of place, chronologically speaking,
  • 00:10:49.383 --> 00:10:52.486
  • Because it really belongs
  • 00:10:52.486 --> 00:10:53.520
  • Between chapter four and chapter five,
  • 00:10:53.520 --> 00:10:56.557
  • Because darius, we understand at the end of chapter five,
  • 00:10:56.557 --> 00:11:00.094
  • Took control of the kingdom of babylon, in fact,
  • 00:11:00.094 --> 00:11:03.197
  • The city of babylon itself.
  • 00:11:03.197 --> 00:11:05.532
  • And if you
  • 00:11:05.532 --> 00:11:06.767
  • Think back to episode five, which was based on chapter five,
  • 00:11:06.767 --> 00:11:09.837
  • At the very beginning of that chapter, belshazzar,
  • 00:11:09.837 --> 00:11:13.741
  • The grandson of nebuchadnezzar the great, became the king,
  • 00:11:13.741 --> 00:11:18.612
  • And he held a feast for a thousand of his lords.
  • 00:11:18.612 --> 00:11:21.915
  • He assembled all the top officials.
  • 00:11:21.915 --> 00:11:24.184
  • He was celebrating his own importance, i suppose.
  • 00:11:24.184 --> 00:11:27.454
  • But within that feast he summoned that the vessels,
  • 00:11:27.454 --> 00:11:31.458
  • The sacred vessels from the holy temple
  • 00:11:31.458 --> 00:11:33.961
  • In jerusalem, be brought to the feast.
  • 00:11:33.961 --> 00:11:36.263
  • And of course, these are the vessels king nebuchadnezzar
  • 00:11:36.263 --> 00:11:39.299
  • Captured when he captured jerusalem in the time of daniel,
  • 00:11:39.299 --> 00:11:43.370
  • And brought daniel and his friends back to babylon.
  • 00:11:43.370 --> 00:11:46.907
  • Well, these pagans at this feast drank from the sacred vessels,
  • 00:11:46.907 --> 00:11:52.713
  • And as they drank, and as they parted,
  • 00:11:52.713 --> 00:11:55.282
  • A mysterious hand appeared and began writing on the wall.
  • 00:11:55.282 --> 00:11:59.553
  • It's interesting, as that chapter unfolds,
  • 00:12:00.454 --> 00:12:02.489
  • That later on the queen comes in and she urges
  • 00:12:02.489 --> 00:12:07.327
  • Belshazzar to call for daniel
  • 00:12:07.961 --> 00:12:10.130
  • Why he was not aware of daniel's abilities as a prophet.
  • 00:12:10.130 --> 00:12:13.433
  • There's a bit of a mystery, but in any case,
  • 00:12:13.433 --> 00:12:15.002
  • Daniel is brought in to interpret the writing
  • 00:12:15.002 --> 00:12:17.905
  • Because once again, the wise men of babylon
  • 00:12:17.905 --> 00:12:21.642
  • Couldn't interpret the writing on the wall.
  • 00:12:21.642 --> 00:12:24.478
  • But daniel could.
  • 00:12:24.478 --> 00:12:26.113
  • And the essence of the message
  • 00:12:26.113 --> 00:12:27.347
  • That came from heaven was to king belshazzar is.
  • 00:12:27.347 --> 00:12:31.518
  • You have been weighed in the balances and found wanting.
  • 00:12:31.518 --> 00:12:35.656
  • So chapter five ends, belshazzar is killed,
  • 00:12:35.656 --> 00:12:40.460
  • And the very last verse tells us that darius
  • 00:12:40.460 --> 00:12:43.096
  • The mede took control, a he being about 62 years of age.
  • 00:12:43.096 --> 00:12:48.702
  • So now when we read this first verse in daniel chapter
  • 00:12:48.702 --> 00:12:52.472
  • Nine, we have more of a context, for what it says.
  • 00:12:52.472 --> 00:12:57.845
  • Let me just read it again, just so you have it clearly
  • 00:12:57.845 --> 00:13:00.814
  • In the first year of darius.
  • 00:13:00.814 --> 00:13:03.383
  • So this is the first year of darius rule
  • 00:13:03.383 --> 00:13:06.787
  • Over babylon, the medes and persians
  • 00:13:06.787 --> 00:13:09.623
  • Having conquered it and taking it from belshazzar.
  • 00:13:09.623 --> 00:13:13.694
  • Now it's the first year of his reign.
  • 00:13:13.694 --> 00:13:16.897
  • So we scholars estimate that,
  • 00:13:16.897 --> 00:13:20.968
  • 67 years of jeremiah's prophecy have already passed.
  • 00:13:20.968 --> 00:13:25.539
  • In other words, the prophecy of jeremiah gave that the jews
  • 00:13:25.539 --> 00:13:29.376
  • Would go into captivity for 70 years in babylon.
  • 00:13:29.376 --> 00:13:32.512
  • But at the end of the 70 years they would be brought back.
  • 00:13:32.512 --> 00:13:35.482
  • And let me just reference jeremiah's, prophecy
  • 00:13:35.482 --> 00:13:39.219
  • For, you know, remember,
  • 00:13:39.219 --> 00:13:40.954
  • Daniel is
  • 00:13:41.255 --> 00:13:42.222
  • In a sense a contemporary of jeremiah
  • 00:13:42.222 --> 00:13:45.259
  • Because jeremiah prophesied the destruction of jerusalem
  • 00:13:45.259 --> 00:13:48.729
  • By an army that would come.
  • 00:13:48.729 --> 00:13:50.864
  • He lived to witness that destruction and the destruction
  • 00:13:50.864 --> 00:13:53.533
  • Of solomon's temple.
  • 00:13:53.533 --> 00:13:56.536
  • But then he prophesied that the exile
  • 00:13:56.536 --> 00:13:59.339
  • Would only last for 70 years, and they would be brought back.
  • 00:13:59.339 --> 00:14:03.076
  • Daniel was a teenager, presumably,
  • 00:14:03.076 --> 00:14:05.212
  • When the destruction took place, and he became a captive
  • 00:14:05.212 --> 00:14:08.081
  • Along with his friends and many other people.
  • 00:14:08.081 --> 00:14:10.951
  • So daniel understood jeremiah's prophecy.
  • 00:14:10.951 --> 00:14:15.289
  • And perhaps this is why the prayer.
  • 00:14:15.289 --> 00:14:17.791
  • And he's praying for this exile in babylon to end.
  • 00:14:17.791 --> 00:14:21.228
  • But here's the prophecy of jeremiah and 25, verse 11,
  • 00:14:21.228 --> 00:14:25.732
  • And this whole land shall be a desolation and an astonishment,
  • 00:14:25.732 --> 00:14:29.970
  • And these nations shall serve the king of babylon 70 years.
  • 00:14:29.970 --> 00:14:35.442
  • Now jeremiah mentions that again in chapter 29.
  • 00:14:35.442 --> 00:14:40.580
  • So this prophecy, and perhaps the fact that it's now been
  • 00:14:40.580 --> 00:14:44.751
  • Almost 70 years, has occasioned, it seems, daniel's prayer.
  • 00:14:44.751 --> 00:14:49.489
  • So he begins to pray. now
  • 00:14:49.489 --> 00:14:53.293
  • It's placed here.
  • 00:14:53.727 --> 00:14:55.329
  • Chapter nine is placed here when it really belongs
  • 00:14:55.329 --> 00:14:57.664
  • Between chapters four and five, but for a reason.
  • 00:14:57.664 --> 00:15:00.901
  • The book of daniel is divided into two parts.
  • 00:15:00.901 --> 00:15:03.270
  • The first six chapters cover history, while the second
  • 00:15:03.270 --> 00:15:07.607
  • Six cover visions and the prophetic future.
  • 00:15:07.607 --> 00:15:11.578
  • So it is not entirely, chronological in that sense.
  • 00:15:11.578 --> 00:15:15.949
  • Chapter nine has three specific sections.
  • 00:15:16.783 --> 00:15:19.586
  • There is, first of all, daniel's
  • 00:15:19.586 --> 00:15:21.421
  • Prayer, which covers the first 19 verses.
  • 00:15:21.421 --> 00:15:25.359
  • The prayer is interrupted amazingly by a visit
  • 00:15:25.359 --> 00:15:29.162
  • By gabriel the archangel, who then describes to daniel
  • 00:15:29.162 --> 00:15:33.100
  • The things that he's seen
  • 00:15:33.100 --> 00:15:34.468
  • And what will take place in the prophetic future.
  • 00:15:34.468 --> 00:15:38.138
  • And then the last few verses of the chapter are an incredible
  • 00:15:38.138 --> 00:15:42.442
  • Prophetic timeline of the prophetic future.
  • 00:15:42.442 --> 00:15:46.880
  • And they may be, in a sense, among the most important verses
  • 00:15:46.880 --> 00:15:51.184
  • In all of the old testament, because they cover
  • 00:15:51.184 --> 00:15:54.855
  • The rebuilding of jerusalem and the temple.
  • 00:15:54.855 --> 00:15:58.558
  • This is something that cyrus allows.
  • 00:15:58.558 --> 00:16:00.727
  • He allows the jews to go back.
  • 00:16:00.727 --> 00:16:02.863
  • And they also, tell us when the messiah will be cut off.
  • 00:16:02.863 --> 00:16:07.467
  • There's that timeline.
  • 00:16:07.467 --> 00:16:08.835
  • And then at the very end of this timeline, there's
  • 00:16:08.835 --> 00:16:11.905
  • What is referred to as one week or in fact, seven years,
  • 00:16:11.905 --> 00:16:16.009
  • Which is the tribulation period that jesus talks about.
  • 00:16:16.009 --> 00:16:19.379
  • And of course, divided into three and a half years
  • 00:16:19.379 --> 00:16:21.748
  • And another three and a half years.
  • 00:16:21.748 --> 00:16:23.417
  • And the second three and a half
  • 00:16:23.417 --> 00:16:25.085
  • When the antichrist wreaks havoc over the over jerusalem,
  • 00:16:25.085 --> 00:16:28.722
  • The jews, in fact, over the world at that time.
  • 00:16:28.722 --> 00:16:31.925
  • So it's a very important passage of scripture.
  • 00:16:31.925 --> 00:16:35.328
  • In fact, it's difficult and complicated to understand,
  • 00:16:35.328 --> 00:16:38.265
  • And i certainly don't have time in this short
  • 00:16:38.265 --> 00:16:40.434
  • Teaching segment to give you all of the details of it.
  • 00:16:40.434 --> 00:16:44.104
  • But let me just say this daniel was praying
  • 00:16:44.104 --> 00:16:47.774
  • When you follow his prayer through those 19 verses.
  • 00:16:47.774 --> 00:16:51.078
  • He's lamenting, the sins of israel,
  • 00:16:51.078 --> 00:16:54.714
  • His sins, the sins of the people.
  • 00:16:54.714 --> 00:16:56.950
  • In fact, he takes these sins upon himself.
  • 00:16:56.950 --> 00:17:01.354
  • He laments for the whole nation.
  • 00:17:01.354 --> 00:17:03.356
  • He confesses before god, and he pleads with god,
  • 00:17:03.356 --> 00:17:07.427
  • To do something about their situation.
  • 00:17:07.427 --> 00:17:10.363
  • We get to verse 19.
  • 00:17:10.363 --> 00:17:11.565
  • We read this, o lord, hear,
  • 00:17:11.565 --> 00:17:15.302
  • O lord,
  • 00:17:15.535 --> 00:17:17.437
  • Forgive, o lord.
  • 00:17:17.437 --> 00:17:19.906
  • Listen and act.
  • 00:17:19.906 --> 00:17:21.541
  • Meaning act upon the prophecy of jeremiah.
  • 00:17:21.541 --> 00:17:24.611
  • Do not delay for your own sake, my god.
  • 00:17:24.611 --> 00:17:27.581
  • For your city, obviously jerusalem and your people.
  • 00:17:27.581 --> 00:17:31.585
  • The jewish people are called by your name.
  • 00:17:31.585 --> 00:17:35.755
  • So he's appealing to who god is and who god is in relationship
  • 00:17:35.755 --> 00:17:39.993
  • To the people of israel,
  • 00:17:39.993 --> 00:17:41.428
  • Who are in exile and not where they really belong.
  • 00:17:41.428 --> 00:17:44.965
  • Then israel, in jerusalem, and with their sacred temple,
  • 00:17:44.965 --> 00:17:49.169
  • Which signifies the presence of god in their midst.
  • 00:17:49.169 --> 00:17:52.172
  • Now, as he's praying, verse 20, now while i was speaking,
  • 00:17:52.172 --> 00:17:56.309
  • Praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people israel,
  • 00:17:56.309 --> 00:17:59.913
  • And presenting my supplication before the lord my god
  • 00:17:59.913 --> 00:18:03.150
  • For the holy mountain of my god.
  • 00:18:03.150 --> 00:18:04.851
  • This obviously is the temple mount.
  • 00:18:04.851 --> 00:18:07.020
  • Yes. while i was speaking in prayer,
  • 00:18:07.020 --> 00:18:09.422
  • The man gabriel,
  • 00:18:09.422 --> 00:18:10.590
  • Whom i had seen in the vision at the beginning.
  • 00:18:10.590 --> 00:18:13.026
  • So it's interesting he saw him.
  • 00:18:13.026 --> 00:18:14.794
  • Now he appears to him being caused to fly swiftly
  • 00:18:14.794 --> 00:18:17.998
  • Reach me about the time of the evening offering.
  • 00:18:17.998 --> 00:18:21.768
  • And he informed me and talked with me and said,
  • 00:18:21.768 --> 00:18:25.272
  • Oh, daniel, i have now come forth to give you skill
  • 00:18:25.272 --> 00:18:28.642
  • To understand at the beginning of your supplications.
  • 00:18:28.642 --> 00:18:32.479
  • The command went out, and i have come to tell you,
  • 00:18:32.479 --> 00:18:35.615
  • Listen to these words of affirmation
  • 00:18:36.383 --> 00:18:39.352
  • For your greatly beloved.
  • 00:18:39.352 --> 00:18:41.454
  • Therefore consider the matter and understand the vision.
  • 00:18:41.454 --> 00:18:44.891
  • 70 weeks are determined for your people and for your city.
  • 00:18:44.891 --> 00:18:49.229
  • Now 70 weeks, we understand weeks to mean,
  • 00:18:49.229 --> 00:18:52.799
  • Seven years, a week of seven years.
  • 00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:56.036
  • If you multiply that by 70, you get a total time frame
  • 00:18:56.036 --> 00:19:00.340
  • Frame of 490 years.
  • 00:19:00.340 --> 00:19:03.210
  • Scholars suggest
  • 00:19:03.210 --> 00:19:04.344
  • That this represented the judgment of god on israel
  • 00:19:04.344 --> 00:19:07.881
  • For not keeping the seventh year, some senator's
  • 00:19:07.881 --> 00:19:13.086
  • Or the seventh year when they were
  • 00:19:13.086 --> 00:19:15.222
  • To leave the fields and not plow the fields.
  • 00:19:15.222 --> 00:19:18.058
  • And, that observance of the seventh year,
  • 00:19:18.058 --> 00:19:21.861
  • Which in the cycle of israel
  • 00:19:21.861 --> 00:19:23.496
  • God gave them, that was very important.
  • 00:19:23.496 --> 00:19:25.365
  • They had neglected that.
  • 00:19:25.365 --> 00:19:27.367
  • And so now they're paying the price of 70 years in exile
  • 00:19:27.367 --> 00:19:30.837
  • To make up for the time that they've lost.
  • 00:19:30.837 --> 00:19:33.540
  • And when they didn't honor god
  • 00:19:33.540 --> 00:19:35.275
  • The way they were supposed to according to the law of moses.
  • 00:19:35.275 --> 00:19:38.878
  • So it's as if gabriel is saying
  • 00:19:39.512 --> 00:19:42.782
  • This is the judgment of god, and this is why you're in babylon,
  • 00:19:42.782 --> 00:19:47.020
  • But you're not staying here, because as
  • 00:19:47.020 --> 00:19:48.788
  • There are other prophecies, saying you're going back
  • 00:19:48.788 --> 00:19:51.124
  • 70 weeks are determined for your people
  • 00:19:51.124 --> 00:19:53.226
  • And for your holy city, obviously, jerusalem,
  • 00:19:53.226 --> 00:19:55.929
  • To finish the transgression, to make an end of sins,
  • 00:19:55.929 --> 00:19:59.132
  • To make reconciliation for iniquity.
  • 00:19:59.132 --> 00:20:01.401
  • In other words, to make up for your neglect
  • 00:20:01.401 --> 00:20:04.471
  • Of the commandments of god, to keep the seventh year
  • 00:20:04.471 --> 00:20:07.274
  • And honor it all those years when you fail to do that.
  • 00:20:07.274 --> 00:20:10.744
  • So the judgment is 490 years.
  • 00:20:10.744 --> 00:20:13.913
  • And then to bring in everlasting righteousness,
  • 00:20:14.914 --> 00:20:17.317
  • Which takes us to the
  • 00:20:17.317 --> 00:20:18.385
  • End of days, the end of time,
  • 00:20:18.385 --> 00:20:20.253
  • And the coming of the messiah for the second time,
  • 00:20:20.253 --> 00:20:23.323
  • To seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy.
  • 00:20:23.323 --> 00:20:27.127
  • And then these words in verse 25, know there for
  • 00:20:27.127 --> 00:20:29.462
  • And understand
  • 00:20:29.462 --> 00:20:30.563
  • That from the going forth of the command
  • 00:20:30.563 --> 00:20:32.299
  • To restore and build jerusalem until messiah the prince.
  • 00:20:32.299 --> 00:20:36.303
  • And this is the edict under cyrus that allowed the jews
  • 00:20:36.303 --> 00:20:38.972
  • To go back and rebuild the temple in jerusalem.
  • 00:20:38.972 --> 00:20:42.275
  • There shall be seven weeks and 62 weeks, meaning 69 weeks.
  • 00:20:42.275 --> 00:20:46.313
  • The streets shall be built again,
  • 00:20:46.313 --> 00:20:47.747
  • And the wall even in troublesome times.
  • 00:20:47.747 --> 00:20:50.116
  • So gabriel is telling daniel the city is going to be rebuilt.
  • 00:20:50.116 --> 00:20:54.187
  • And that will be in 434 years from now.
  • 00:20:54.187 --> 00:20:58.591
  • This, the messiah will come, and then he will be cut off.
  • 00:20:58.591 --> 00:21:03.029
  • So let me just give you one more reference to the the very last
  • 00:21:03.029 --> 00:21:06.299
  • Verse of this chapter,
  • 00:21:06.766 --> 00:21:08.368
  • Which is the end of days, the time of the antichrist.
  • 00:21:08.368 --> 00:21:11.738
  • And we read this
  • 00:21:12.138 --> 00:21:14.307
  • Verse 27 then he and i believe this is a reference
  • 00:21:14.307 --> 00:21:17.477
  • To the antichrist figure who is to come.
  • 00:21:17.477 --> 00:21:20.547
  • He shall confirm a covenant with many for one week.
  • 00:21:20.547 --> 00:21:23.883
  • Interpret that as seven years.
  • 00:21:23.883 --> 00:21:26.219
  • But in the middle of the week, three and a half years,
  • 00:21:26.219 --> 00:21:28.888
  • He shall bring an end to sacrifice an offering
  • 00:21:28.888 --> 00:21:31.291
  • Which suggests the temple must be rebuilt,
  • 00:21:31.291 --> 00:21:33.626
  • And there must be a sacrificial system
  • 00:21:33.626 --> 00:21:35.528
  • That's in place and on the wing of abominations.
  • 00:21:35.528 --> 00:21:39.366
  • So be one who makes desolate.
  • 00:21:39.366 --> 00:21:41.201
  • That's the antichrist.
  • 00:21:41.201 --> 00:21:42.702
  • Even until the consummation which is determined,
  • 00:21:42.702 --> 00:21:45.672
  • Is poured out on the desolate.
  • 00:21:45.672 --> 00:21:48.742
  • And the chapter ends there.
  • 00:21:48.742 --> 00:21:50.643
  • But with this last verse looking into the well,
  • 00:21:50.643 --> 00:21:54.047
  • It may from today it may not be the distant future,
  • 00:21:54.047 --> 00:21:57.150
  • But the rise of the antichrist figure who is to come,
  • 00:21:57.150 --> 00:22:01.187
  • And the devastation once again on jerusalem
  • 00:22:01.187 --> 00:22:04.257
  • And the people of israel.
  • 00:22:04.257 --> 00:22:05.692
  • The one last thing before we finish this teaching,
  • 00:22:05.692 --> 00:22:10.063
  • Gabriel gave
  • 00:22:10.397 --> 00:22:11.898
  • Daniel a prophetic timeline.
  • 00:22:11.898 --> 00:22:15.001
  • Now, it's interesting on palm sunday
  • 00:22:15.001 --> 00:22:17.404
  • Because jesus approached jerusalem as the king,
  • 00:22:17.404 --> 00:22:20.373
  • The king that was prophesied to come.
  • 00:22:20.373 --> 00:22:22.375
  • Verse 41 luke 19 now as he jesus drew near,
  • 00:22:22.375 --> 00:22:26.746
  • He saw the city and wept over it, saying,
  • 00:22:26.746 --> 00:22:29.549
  • If you had known even you,
  • 00:22:29.549 --> 00:22:31.050
  • Meaning jerusalem and the people,
  • 00:22:31.050 --> 00:22:32.852
  • Especially in this your day, the things that make
  • 00:22:32.852 --> 00:22:35.755
  • For your peace,
  • 00:22:35.755 --> 00:22:37.056
  • But now they are hidden from your eyes, for days
  • 00:22:37.056 --> 00:22:39.893
  • Will come upon you, when your enemies will build
  • 00:22:39.893 --> 00:22:41.694
  • An embankment around you
  • 00:22:41.694 --> 00:22:43.396
  • And surround you and close you in, in every side and level
  • 00:22:43.396 --> 00:22:46.633
  • You and your children within you to the ground,
  • 00:22:46.633 --> 00:22:50.036
  • And they will not leaving you one stone upon another,
  • 00:22:50.036 --> 00:22:53.139
  • Because you did not know the time of your visitation.
  • 00:22:53.139 --> 00:22:57.577
  • Listen, the prophesied time, the prophesied day
  • 00:22:57.577 --> 00:23:01.381
  • Of your visitation.
  • 00:23:01.381 --> 00:23:02.749
  • And perhaps this is precisely what gabriel gave daniel.
  • 00:23:02.749 --> 00:23:07.487
  • He told them the precise day messiah would come in the future
  • 00:23:07.487 --> 00:23:12.091
  • On that particular palm sunday.
  • 00:23:12.091 --> 00:23:15.328
  • And the people on that day missed entirely
  • 00:23:15.328 --> 00:23:18.064
  • That the king on the donkey was their messiah,
  • 00:23:18.064 --> 00:23:21.768
  • And failing to recognize him on the day of the visitation.
  • 00:23:21.768 --> 00:23:25.772
  • Some years later, about 40 years later,
  • 00:23:25.772 --> 00:23:28.141
  • The roman army would come
  • 00:23:28.141 --> 00:23:29.809
  • And fulfill the prophecy that jesus gave on
  • 00:23:29.809 --> 00:23:32.579
  • That particular palm sunday.
  • 00:23:32.579 --> 00:23:35.682
  • After the break, daniel's 70th week,
  • 00:23:35.682 --> 00:23:39.319
  • The seven year period, the end of time.
  • 00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:53.132
  • The people of
  • 00:23:53.500 --> 00:23:54.467
  • Israel face significant challenges every day
  • 00:23:54.467 --> 00:23:57.437
  • Due to the ongoing threat of war and random terror attacks.
  • 00:23:57.437 --> 00:24:00.540
  • Resources are often redirected to the military
  • 00:24:00.540 --> 00:24:03.376
  • Instead of helping the most
  • 00:24:03.376 --> 00:24:04.644
  • Vulnerable children at risk and the elderly.
  • 00:24:04.644 --> 00:24:07.647
  • Many children
  • 00:24:07.647 --> 00:24:08.848
  • Go to bed hungry each night and 1 in 3 lives in poverty.
  • 00:24:08.848 --> 00:24:12.118
  • But you can make a difference.

  • This 13 episode series shows why israel is in a constant
  • 00:24:25.365 --> 00:24:29.302
  • Struggle for survival,
  • 00:24:29.302 --> 00:24:30.703
  • But also explains how god has guaranteed israel's

  • Stand with us for the people of israel
  • 00:24:46.352 --> 00:24:48.321
  • So they will know they are not completely isolated
  • 00:24:48.321 --> 00:24:50.690
  • And alone in these trying times.
  • 00:24:50.690 --> 00:24:53.192
  • Want us?
  • 00:24:53.192 --> 00:25:02.969
  • As we saw in the teaching segment,
  • 00:25:03.736 --> 00:25:06.506
  • Gabriel gave daniel a prophetic
  • 00:25:06.506 --> 00:25:09.175
  • Timeline of history in advance the coming of the messiah,
  • 00:25:09.175 --> 00:25:14.180
  • His death, which we know occurred here at jerusalem.
  • 00:25:14.180 --> 00:25:18.217
  • But then he talked about a 70th week,
  • 00:25:18.217 --> 00:25:21.120
  • This mysterious 70th week.
  • 00:25:21.120 --> 00:25:22.722
  • And of course, we have these words in verse 26.
  • 00:25:22.722 --> 00:25:26.826
  • And the people of the prince who is to come
  • 00:25:27.694 --> 00:25:29.629
  • Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.
  • 00:25:29.629 --> 00:25:32.465
  • Now that's interesting, because this is looking
  • 00:25:32.465 --> 00:25:34.934
  • Into the future, in fact, a future that hasn't happened,
  • 00:25:34.934 --> 00:25:37.604
  • As i stand here today,
  • 00:25:37.604 --> 00:25:39.439
  • Presupposes the building of a third temple.
  • 00:25:39.439 --> 00:25:42.075
  • And the prince in this context, is the antichrist figure,
  • 00:25:42.075 --> 00:25:45.111
  • I believe.
  • 00:25:45.411 --> 00:25:46.779
  • And he will destroy the city and the sanctuary.
  • 00:25:46.779 --> 00:25:49.916
  • And then we read in verse 27 that he shall confirm
  • 00:25:49.916 --> 00:25:53.252
  • A covenant with many for one week.
  • 00:25:53.252 --> 00:25:55.254
  • This is the 70th week we learned about earlier,
  • 00:25:55.254 --> 00:25:58.958
  • But in the middle of the week,
  • 00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:01.227
  • Meaning at the three and a half year point, he's
  • 00:26:01.227 --> 00:26:05.098
  • She'll bring an end to sacrifice an offering.
  • 00:26:05.098 --> 00:26:07.834
  • And then the wing of abominations
  • 00:26:07.834 --> 00:26:09.569
  • Shall be one who makes desolate
  • 00:26:09.569 --> 00:26:11.304
  • Another reference to the antichrist.
  • 00:26:11.304 --> 00:26:13.840
  • Even until the consummation which is determined,
  • 00:26:13.840 --> 00:26:16.909
  • Is poured out in the desolate,
  • 00:26:16.909 --> 00:26:18.511
  • Which is the end of all things, basically.
  • 00:26:18.511 --> 00:26:20.980
  • But i want to go to matthew 24 for something that jesus said,
  • 00:26:20.980 --> 00:26:25.318
  • About the end times and the context of his teaching,
  • 00:26:25.318 --> 00:26:28.621
  • Of the signs of the times earthquakes,
  • 00:26:28.621 --> 00:26:31.090
  • Famines, pestilences, false prophets
  • 00:26:31.090 --> 00:26:34.227
  • In matthew 24, verse 15,
  • 00:26:34.761 --> 00:26:36.929
  • Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation
  • 00:26:36.929 --> 00:26:39.699
  • Spoken by daniel the prophet standing in the holy place,
  • 00:26:39.699 --> 00:26:43.336
  • Whoever reads, let him understand.
  • 00:26:43.336 --> 00:26:45.805
  • I believe that this means the idol that the antichrist
  • 00:26:45.805 --> 00:26:48.508
  • Will set up in the temple in jerusalem.
  • 00:26:48.508 --> 00:26:51.711
  • And then there's a warning to flee.
  • 00:26:51.711 --> 00:26:54.213
  • Leave jerusalem as quickly as you can, because presumably
  • 00:26:54.213 --> 00:26:58.184
  • The antichrist is about to wreak havoc on jerusalem.
  • 00:26:58.184 --> 00:27:02.488
  • And the jewish people, living in israel at that time.
  • 00:27:02.488 --> 00:27:06.292
  • So this is the 70th week.
  • 00:27:06.859 --> 00:27:09.062
  • It's a future event.
  • 00:27:09.062 --> 00:27:10.697
