UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL

 

Shalom everyone. I’ve not posted in almost two weeks now because I’ve been very busy with work recently. I hope to get back to posting this weekend.

I thought to do something a bit different with this post. Many of you do not know much about me; so I thought to do a post on some of my favorite YouTube videos. To some this may not that seem personal; however my choice of videos will give you some idea of my interests, tastes and passions. The videos will cover my tastes in  sacred music, classical music, Bible Prophecy speakers, NWO speakers, and even an old Sesame Street clip (which I loved as a boy growing up) {even though the clip is about a girls’ doll house} the innocence of the scene is what touches my heart. (and I also looooove cats). I also have a clip on nature which is par excellent.

So without further ado I share with you some of  my more personal things…O, and by the way; please leave a comment if you wish….and to my Messianic followers……Happy Chanukah!

 

 

I hope you enjoy them……Shalom in Yahshua Ha Mashiach  (Jesus The Messiah)

A WONDERFUL PROPHECY PT.2

Shalom to you all. If you've not read part one of this teaching we suggest that you do before continuing with this post.

In our previous post we had established a starting point for the beginning of the prophecy of Dan. 9 But the 70weeks of Dan. 9 are a part of the longer 2300 evenings and mornings of Dan 8.[ Please request for more information on this point and I'll be happy to share]

Now, when we are studying prophecies of the Scriptures we find that in the same Word of YHWH that there are certain principles that must be understood. The 70weeks are weeks of days. Once we understand this we can quickly determine the number of days spoken of by the  time prophecy principle.

In B'midvar 14: 34 (Num.)  we find that in YHWH appointed the children of Israel 40yrs of punishment according to the number of days they had searched the land of Canaan and bought back an evil report. (this was a prophecy. In Y'chizki'el 4:6 (Eze.) we have another prophecy given by YHWH to the house of Judah referring to days as years.


"After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, [even] forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, [even] forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise." B'midvar 14: 34 (Num.)
"And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year." Y'chizki'el 4:6 (Eze.)

From these two witnesses of the time prophecy principle we now proceed with the application.

We found in our previous post the the decree of Ezra 7:11-26 is the decree which begins this prophecy. 70weeks = 490 days. 490prophetic days= 490 literal years. From 457BC to the Messiah we have 69wks=483 prophetic days= 483 literal years. ("....from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince [shall be] seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks..." Dan.9:25)

Now we can test the principle of prophetic time interpretation by the veracity of it's fulfillment.  From 457BC we add 483 years which = 26AD now we add 1yr. because year 0 is not counted in a straight addition. (In other words there was no year 0. We go from 1BC to 1AD so we must add a year.

We come to 27AD. Must Bible scholars would agree that 27AD was the year in which Yahshua Ha Meshiach was baptized and commenced with his public ministry. Thus we see Yahshua acknowledging this when He said that "....The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.Yochanan-Makabi 1:15 (Mk.)

"Thou shalt arise, [and] have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come." T'hilim 102:13 (Ps.)
To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up [that which is] planted; Kehilat 3:1,2 (Eccl.)

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, (Gal. 4:4)

"....a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment." Kehilat 8:5

Praise be to YHWH who is wonderful in counsel....infinite in wisdom.....and mighty in power!

A MOST WONDERFUL PROPHECY

After gaining a most crucial victory over ha Satan in the wilderness of temptation and being ministered unto by holy angels of YHWH; Yahshua's great heart of love is directed toward us; the object of His love and mission.


"Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel."  Yochanan-Makabi 1:14-15 (Mk.) 

Notice that as He commenced His ministry a reference is made to time being fulfilled. What can be the significance of this statement? To what was Yahshua referring? Are there any Prophecies in the Tanakh which refer the time when Messiah was to appear? For we cannot look at any other Scriptures because the B'rit Chadashah (Heb. for New Covenant) had not yet been written.

In the book of Dani'el (Daniel) chapter 9 there is a portion of Scripture which speaks to this very topic.

Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, [that] from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince [shall be] seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. 

In the vision of Daniel 9 The angel Gabriel makes known to Daniel that 70weeks are determined upon Israel (of which the holy city was the center of religious worship). All of Israel were connected with the sanctuary services; for, according to the Torah, any person who would not participate in the yearly services did not have their sins forgiven, and on Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) if any did not participate in afflicting their souls before YHWH; as part of the final service for the religious year,  they were cut off from among the people. V'yakra 23:28,29 (Lev.)  So the 70weeks was given as a probationary period for Israel to get right with YHWH as a nation. Many chances had been given them to prove their faithfulness to Him and thus meet the great destiny which YHWH had purposed for them to have. By the end of this period; transgression, an end of sins, reconciliation for iniquities (or lawlessness), the bringing in of everlasting righteousness, the sealing up of the vision, and the anointing of the most holy, where all pointing to the time when the types in the sacrificial services would be met by the great anti-type; Yahshua Messiah.

However, we want to get to the time prophecy which deals specifically with Messiah's appearing. The prophecy distinctly states that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be 7weeks, threescore (60wks), and 2 weeks.

Simply stated, from the time the decree which gives the Jews the authority to rebuild and restore Jerusalem and, to give them their nationhood back, to the Messiah would be 69wks.

TWO POINTS TO BE MADE:

At the time of the prophecy the Jews where still in captivity. They where about to be reinstated in there own land.

The decree of Ezra 7:11-26 gives the final and complete authorization for the rebuilding of the Temple and Jerusalem. This decree was given by Artaxerxes(surnamed Long-handed)  the Persian King who issued this decree in 457BC.

Now that we have a starting point; we need to make one more observation before making the application of  the time prophecy.
