Harvest truly is plenteous,
00:00:01.98\00:00:02.95
but the laborers are few.
00:00:02.96\00:00:03.93
Pray ye therefore,
the Lord of the harvest,
00:00:03.94\00:00:06.16
that he will, he
will send forth laborers
00:00:06.52\00:00:08.99
into his harvest.
00:00:09.62\00:00:10.59
Also, I heard the
voice of the Lord saying,
00:00:10.60\00:00:12.95
"Whom shall I send?
And who will go for us?"
00:00:13.57\00:00:17.36
Then said I, "Here
am I, send me, send me."
00:00:17.97\00:00:22.78
Life on the Edge will enable you
00:00:23.80\00:00:25.26
to be an effective
harvester for the Lord.
00:00:25.27\00:00:27.27
We now invite you
into our classroom to come,
00:00:27.85\00:00:30.63
experience Life.
00:00:31.51\00:00:33.82
Well again we like
to welcome you back
00:00:43.80\00:00:45.49
to the Lay
Institute For Evangelism.
00:00:45.50\00:00:48.03
All of us here in
the classroom are here
00:00:48.56\00:00:50.75
on the campus of Pine Lake
Retreat in Groveland, Florida.
00:00:51.10\00:00:54.25
We're sandwiched here in
all of the orange groves.
00:00:54.49\00:00:57.41
And we wish you
could be here with us,
00:00:57.78\00:00:59.61
but since you
can't, then we've just
00:00:59.62\00:01:01.41
brought ourselves to you.
00:01:01.60\00:01:02.57
And we're right
there in your home,
00:01:02.72\00:01:03.69
maybe on the Internet or
on a DVD that you purchased.
00:01:03.70\00:01:06.35
Or maybe you saw us at GYC
00:01:06.73\00:01:08.55
and then you just
brought the whole set,
00:01:08.56\00:01:10.02
and so that's why
you're in your living room
00:01:10.03\00:01:11.95
watching these. We just want
00:01:11.96\00:01:13.02
to thank you for being
here and we're just glad
00:01:13.03\00:01:16.20
you could join us as
now we continue our study
00:01:16.21\00:01:19.57
on Daniel chapter 9.
00:01:20.22\00:01:22.18
But in order to
continue our study
00:01:23.43\00:01:25.46
we're going to do a
little review on this study.
00:01:25.78\00:01:28.48
So, again we're
studying Daniel chapter 9.
00:01:28.60\00:01:31.36
We're marking these
Bible studies in our Bible,
00:01:31.37\00:01:33.80
so our next
graphic shows the study,
00:01:33.91\00:01:35.75
which is Daniel 9 and
then the code which is D9
00:01:36.12\00:01:39.41
which stands for Daniel 9.
00:01:39.86\00:01:41.92
The purpose of our
study is to show that
00:01:42.50\00:01:45.37
Jesus of Nazareth is
the promised Messiah.
00:01:45.65\00:01:49.53
To show that Jesus of Nazareth
is the promised Messiah.
00:01:49.54\00:01:52.76
On our next graphic
you see the center it,
00:01:53.34\00:01:55.72
this Bible study is
centered on Jesus Christ
00:01:56.07\00:01:58.91
just like our
other Bible studies.
00:01:58.92\00:02:00.83
This Bible study
show us that Jesus Christ
00:02:01.33\00:02:03.58
is the Anointed One prophesied
about in Daniel chapter 9.
00:02:03.92\00:02:09.62
The next graphic you
see there on the screen
00:02:11.32\00:02:13.14
are all of the
references that we are marking
00:02:13.68\00:02:15.55
either in the
front of our Bibles
00:02:15.82\00:02:17.01
or in the back of our Bibles.
00:02:17.02\00:02:18.14
Or maybe we've got in so far,
00:02:18.50\00:02:19.94
you've some marked in the front
00:02:19.95\00:02:21.46
and now you are
marking them in the back.
00:02:21.69\00:02:22.86
Or maybe you've
started in the back
00:02:23.33\00:02:24.66
and now you're
marking them in the front.
00:02:25.19\00:02:26.89
But all of these
references that you see up there
00:02:27.29\00:02:29.59
are the references
in our Bible study.
00:02:29.60\00:02:32.83
We're gonna do a
quick review here
00:02:34.07\00:02:35.43
of what we did
in our last program.
00:02:36.00\00:02:37.76
And you'll see the
graphic on the scene.
00:02:38.31\00:02:39.95
It says 70 weeks
equals 490 prophetic days.
00:02:40.63\00:02:44.50
So, we have an entire time span
here for 490 prephetic days.
00:02:44.64\00:02:49.63
In our last study we
pulled the principle out
00:02:49.89\00:02:52.82
and Ezekiel 4:6,
00:02:53.69\00:02:57.55
that a day in Bible
prophecy is equal to a what?
00:02:58.13\00:03:01.80
A year, a literal year.
00:03:02.86\00:03:04.65
So a day in Bible prophecy
is equal to a literal year.
00:03:04.89\00:03:08.76
So 490 prophetic days is
equal to 490 literal years.
00:03:09.12\00:03:14.44
We began our study last time
00:03:15.20\00:03:17.47
by reading Daniel chapter
9 verse 20 through to 27.
00:03:17.48\00:03:21.41
We got the big picture.
00:03:21.91\00:03:23.00
We understood that the
Gabriel came to help Daniel
00:03:23.66\00:03:26.93
understand a vision
00:03:27.24\00:03:28.21
that Daniel did not
have in Daniel chapter 9,
00:03:28.55\00:03:31.43
but it was a vision that
he had in Daniel chapter 8.
00:03:31.97\00:03:35.53
You remember when
the Bible was written
00:03:35.54\00:03:37.84
there were no
verses or chapter divisions
00:03:37.87\00:03:39.96
that was added later.
00:03:39.97\00:03:41.00
So that you and I
could study the Bible
00:03:41.27\00:03:43.62
and be able to
locate things quicker.
00:03:43.63\00:03:45.43
So, when Daniel wrote
it, it was just a continual,
00:03:46.61\00:03:48.98
just a continual story there.
00:03:49.72\00:03:50.92
Continual... a line of
thought that he was having.
00:03:50.93\00:03:54.20
That God was giving to him.
00:03:54.73\00:03:55.86
So, in Daniel chapter
9 verses 20 through 27
00:03:56.30\00:04:00.23
we see Gabriel coming to Daniel
00:04:00.47\00:04:02.34
and explaining the time
aspect of the prophecy found
00:04:02.90\00:04:08.86
or the vision found in Daniel 8.
00:04:09.43\00:04:11.57
We began in
Daniel chapter 9 verse 24
00:04:12.43\00:04:14.70
it says 70 weeks are
determined upon your people
00:04:14.71\00:04:20.45
and your holy city to
finish the transgression.
00:04:20.46\00:04:23.57
To make an end of sins,
00:04:23.87\00:04:25.04
to make
reconciliation for inequity,
00:04:25.51\00:04:27.51
to bring in
everlasting righteousness,
00:04:27.77\00:04:29.86
to seal up the
vision in prophecy
00:04:30.33\00:04:32.99
and to anoint the Most Holy.
00:04:33.24\00:04:34.51
You remember we studied
that 70 weeks are determined,
00:04:35.68\00:04:38.94
that were determined meant what?
00:04:39.18\00:04:40.48
Cut off or amputated.
00:04:41.94\00:04:43.52
70 weeks of
prophetic time are cut off
00:04:43.53\00:04:47.22
or amputated from
that longer time prophecy
00:04:47.23\00:04:49.89
we found in Daniel chapter 8.
00:04:49.90\00:04:51.84
So, 70 weeks 490 prophetic days,
00:04:53.41\00:04:56.33
490 prophetic days
coming out of Daniel 9:24
00:04:56.34\00:05:00.28
is the same as
490 literal years.
00:05:00.29\00:05:03.06
And you at home you
maybe reading Daniel 9:24
00:05:03.67\00:05:05.76
saying I don't see 490 days.
00:05:05.77\00:05:07.34
But if you take 70
weeks and you multiply that
00:05:07.90\00:05:10.44
by seven days per week,
you come up with 490 days.
00:05:10.63\00:05:14.61
And the you put, you
apply the principle of the day
00:05:15.28\00:05:18.00
a Bible prophecy equal in a year
00:05:18.01\00:05:20.15
and then you come up
with 490 literal years.
00:05:20.76\00:05:24.20
You remember as
you read Numbers 14:34
00:05:24.56\00:05:27.13
and you may say to yourself
00:05:27.55\00:05:28.52
well how did I even
know I was in Numbers 14:34.
00:05:28.53\00:05:30.56
You need to go
come experiencelife.com
00:05:31.05\00:05:33.55
you need to click on
the link that takes you to
00:05:33.95\00:05:36.58
where the videos are and
then you need to download.
00:05:36.59\00:05:39.05
Not only watch the video there,
00:05:39.06\00:05:40.65
of course you are watching it
00:05:40.66\00:05:41.63
I don't know how
you are watching it.
00:05:41.64\00:05:42.65
But you are
watching video of the website
00:05:42.66\00:05:44.22
and get the handout from that.
00:05:44.66\00:05:46.41
So 70 weeks are
the same as 490 days,
00:05:48.20\00:05:51.87
so that's where we got that.
00:05:52.27\00:05:53.27
And then we got
the principle of a day
00:05:53.69\00:05:55.35
in Bible prophecy
out of Numbers 14:34
00:05:55.49\00:05:57.85
and Ezekiel chapter 4 verse 6.
00:05:58.31\00:06:00.24
Then we went to
Daniel 9:25 because,
00:06:01.28\00:06:03.51
what we wanted to
know is how in the world
00:06:03.52\00:06:05.45
that we know when
this 70 weeks begins.
00:06:05.46\00:06:08.36
If these 70 week
time period is important
00:06:08.37\00:06:10.55
then we must know the
beginning of that time period.
00:06:10.56\00:06:13.04
And it's very important
to know the beginning because
00:06:13.57\00:06:16.54
the first 69 weeks of this
prophecy takes us to Messiah.
00:06:16.91\00:06:21.29
Now Messiah is the one
that all of the Jewish nation
00:06:22.44\00:06:25.59
was looking for.
00:06:25.60\00:06:26.69
Every Jewish women
that had a male child
00:06:27.13\00:06:31.11
from the time of Eve,
00:06:31.49\00:06:33.33
all the way
through past Abraham,
00:06:33.63\00:06:35.89
Isaac, Jacob
all of those people.
00:06:35.90\00:06:39.09
All the way past the
time period every Jewish women
00:06:39.61\00:06:42.39
that had baby, a
male child was hoping
00:06:42.59\00:06:45.16
maybe this is the Messiah,
maybe this is the Messiah,
00:06:46.02\00:06:49.27
maybe this one is the Messiah.
00:06:49.95\00:06:51.39
And that would be
pretty typical of parents,
00:06:52.65\00:06:54.59
wouldn't it? Wanting
the best for your child
00:06:54.60\00:06:56.11
and what better to
be the Messiah himself.
00:06:56.12\00:06:57.93
Well there is a
prophecy in Daniel
00:06:58.94\00:07:01.74
that tells us when
Messiah would begin his ministry
00:07:01.75\00:07:04.41
and that is
when he was anointed.
00:07:04.70\00:07:05.92
And that's what we
are studying about here.
00:07:05.93\00:07:07.34
So the beginning of this time
prophecy from the Daniel 9:25,
00:07:08.06\00:07:12.02
those you at home
you can read it here,
00:07:12.57\00:07:13.86
those whose of you that
are here go ahead and read it.
00:07:14.19\00:07:16.15
It says in Daniel 9:25
it says, know therefore,
00:07:16.16\00:07:19.48
and understand,
that from the going forth
00:07:19.91\00:07:23.27
of the commandment to restore
00:07:23.45\00:07:25.58
and to build Jerusalem
unto the Messiah the Prince.
00:07:25.59\00:07:29.85
So, we have a starting point now
00:07:30.40\00:07:32.01
the starting point of that
time prophecy is the command
00:07:32.74\00:07:35.70
to restore and build Jerusalem.
00:07:35.95\00:07:37.60
From the command to
restore and build Jerusalem
00:07:39.05\00:07:41.15
unto Messiah the
Prince shall be seven weeks,
00:07:41.37\00:07:43.89
and threescore and two weeks.
00:07:44.48\00:07:45.99
And we learned
in our last program
00:07:46.00\00:07:48.38
that a score is how long.
00:07:48.70\00:07:50.09
20, so threescore
00:07:51.03\00:07:53.38
and two years would be
20, 40,60 plus 2 is 62 years.
00:07:53.59\00:07:59.83
So 7 weeks plus 62 weeks is
69 weeks, 69 prophetic weeks.
00:08:00.34\00:08:06.27
If we just do the simple math,
00:08:06.78\00:08:08.27
seven days per
weeks times 69 weeks
00:08:09.42\00:08:12.68
gives us 483 prophetic days,
00:08:12.95\00:08:16.09
which is the same as 483 what?
00:08:16.72\00:08:19.70
Literal years. So
when we asked ourselves,
00:08:20.61\00:08:25.68
when did commandment to restore
00:08:25.69\00:08:27.94
and build Jerusalem happen?
00:08:27.95\00:08:30.62
When did that happen?
00:08:31.27\00:08:32.24
And for that we went to
Ezra chapter 7 verses 7,
00:08:32.88\00:08:36.66
11 and 24 through 26.
00:08:37.18\00:08:40.13
We found out that
Artaxerxes the King
00:08:40.98\00:08:43.11
in the seventh
year of his reign,
00:08:43.49\00:08:45.38
tells Ezra, a scribe,
that Ezra can go back to,
00:08:45.76\00:08:51.00
he can go back home to Palestine
00:08:51.86\00:08:53.46
and he can rebuild Jerusalem.
00:08:53.95\00:08:55.94
And not only rebuild
it, but he can restore it,
00:08:56.35\00:08:59.97
because the King said
that Ezra was to set up
00:09:00.58\00:09:03.54
magistrates and judges to judge
00:09:03.81\00:09:06.79
and rule the
Kingdom of Palestine there.
00:09:07.08\00:09:09.67
So the seventh
year of the reign of
00:09:11.44\00:09:12.80
Artaxerxes the
King. You can get online,
00:09:12.81\00:09:15.30
you can look this up online,
00:09:15.31\00:09:16.65
you can go to the library
00:09:16.66\00:09:17.96
and get a history book
about Artaxerxes the King.
00:09:17.97\00:09:20.82
And you just look that
up and the seventh year
00:09:21.15\00:09:23.73
of his reign of Artaxerxes
the King was the 457BC.
00:09:23.92\00:09:28.81
This decree went into
effect in the fall of 457BC.
00:09:29.53\00:09:35.53
This decree went into
effect in the fall of 457BC.
00:09:35.76\00:09:39.18
So, we just
simply did simple math.
00:09:39.88\00:09:41.76
We said 483
literal years minus 457BC
00:09:42.11\00:09:47.21
which is the date
we have right there.
00:09:47.43\00:09:48.91
The larger numbers
attracting the smaller number
00:09:49.31\00:09:51.34
brought us to the fall of 26ad
00:09:51.68\00:09:53.85
But then we
remembered that in simple math
00:09:54.78\00:09:57.01
when we get to the number zero
there is a place holder there.
00:09:57.16\00:09:59.76
But there was no zero here,
00:10:00.38\00:10:03.09
you see that on your screen.
00:10:03.44\00:10:04.41
There is no zero
here on the calendar,
00:10:04.64\00:10:06.36
so instead of
bringing us to the fall of 26AD
00:10:06.65\00:10:09.38
that then brought
us to the fall of what?
00:10:09.81\00:10:11.93
27AD, that's right,
00:10:13.29\00:10:14.79
and then I had this on another
graphic you will remember,
00:10:14.80\00:10:17.06
483 years from the
fall of 457BC takes us.
00:10:18.66\00:10:22.73
So fall of 457BC,
483 years takes us
00:10:23.54\00:10:27.17
to the fall of 27AD,
because there is no zero year
00:10:27.18\00:10:30.40
on the calendar.
00:10:30.41\00:10:31.48
You must have this
fixed in your mind.
00:10:32.29\00:10:33.70
You may have to
explain this two or three times
00:10:33.90\00:10:37.04
when you're
giving this Bible study.
00:10:37.05\00:10:38.41
And the purpose of
this class is to teach us
00:10:39.03\00:10:40.90
how to give a Bible study.
00:10:40.91\00:10:41.90
So I'm just simply
doing the same thing with you
00:10:41.91\00:10:43.66
that I would do with somebody
00:10:44.09\00:10:45.47
that I'm
studying the Bible with.
00:10:45.48\00:10:46.67
I'm going over it
and over it and over it.
00:10:46.68\00:10:48.90
You'll remember that
one way of illustrating
00:10:50.16\00:10:52.38
that was to start and say this.
00:10:52.39\00:10:54.79
Now the fall of 457BC
was followed by what year?
00:10:55.28\00:10:59.47
456. Now 456BC was followed by?
00:11:01.12\00:11:06.27
455BC. 455 is followed by?
00:11:06.77\00:11:09.68
454. and then
you just fast-forward
00:11:10.71\00:11:13.57
and you say on
your piece of paper,
00:11:14.38\00:11:16.21
fall of 3BC was
followed by what?
00:11:17.24\00:11:19.28
2BC, the fall of
2BC is followed by 1BC.
00:11:20.28\00:11:24.02
The fall of 1BC
is followed by 1AD.
00:11:24.50\00:11:28.39
So you'll notice that
there is no zero place,
00:11:28.40\00:11:31.59
so we simply took the
place over that the zero
00:11:31.94\00:11:34.05
held in our simple
math we threw it up here
00:11:34.06\00:11:36.46
to fall of 26AD,
added a year to it
00:11:36.47\00:11:38.82
and it brought us
to the fall of 27AD.
00:11:39.25\00:11:43.60
Now I need to know if this is
crystal clear, WAS that clear?
00:11:44.14\00:11:48.22
All right, are you
ready to explain it?
00:11:49.36\00:11:51.07
Who's ready to explain it?
00:11:52.10\00:11:53.15
I'll tell you
what, if there is anybody
00:11:56.77\00:11:57.75
in this class that
they think they can do
00:11:57.76\00:11:59.19
anything it's Mike.
Praise God for that.
00:11:59.20\00:12:00.66
Mike's like oh yeah,
00:12:01.14\00:12:02.11
but he doesn't
get excited about it.
00:12:02.27\00:12:03.49
Mike's one of those
guys. I can do that,
00:12:03.70\00:12:07.08
I can do that.
Well praise the Lord,
00:12:07.80\00:12:09.61
because I'm going to call
on you later to explain things,
00:12:09.62\00:12:11.94
all right? All right.
00:12:12.25\00:12:13.22
And I noticed that
that some of you were
00:12:13.23\00:12:14.65
shaking your head
yeah, I can do that.
00:12:14.66\00:12:15.83
Then I said now who can
really do that and you're like.
00:12:16.30\00:12:18.70
Oh, oh, He is really gonna
ask me to do it, don't move.
00:12:18.71\00:12:21.83
No eye contact. All right,
00:12:22.23\00:12:24.81
so now on our screen you
see that it doesn't take us
00:12:25.05\00:12:27.48
to the fall of 26AD but it
takes us to the fall of 27AD.
00:12:27.49\00:12:32.69
Our next text in
Daniel Chapter 9 is...,
00:12:34.68\00:12:39.16
you remember we were in
Daniel chapter 9 and verse 25
00:12:39.58\00:12:44.69
and we read the first part.
00:12:44.70\00:12:45.97
Know that for an understanding
from the going forth
00:12:45.98\00:12:47.80
of the command to
restore and build Jerusalem.
00:12:47.81\00:12:49.65
Then we went from there
to Ezra and we discovered
00:12:50.07\00:12:53.85
the command to restore and
build Jerusalem there in Ezra.
00:12:53.86\00:12:56.97
Now we are going
back to Daniel 9:25 again.
00:12:57.36\00:12:59.80
This is the second,
this is the third time
00:12:59.81\00:13:01.69
we've been to this text.
00:13:01.70\00:13:02.78
We read it through
once in our overview,
00:13:03.12\00:13:04.82
we went there the first
time to see that command
00:13:05.24\00:13:08.17
to restore and build Jerusalem.
00:13:08.18\00:13:09.43
Now we're there for
the third time to find out
00:13:09.67\00:13:12.56
it says there, and
I'll just open my Bible.
00:13:12.57\00:13:14.86
I love quoting it though,
00:13:15.15\00:13:16.12
it's amazing the
more often you give these
00:13:16.34\00:13:19.69
Bible studies the
more the texts become
00:13:19.70\00:13:22.50
fastened in your
mind. And I just love giving
00:13:22.72\00:13:25.38
this Bible study
because it makes me look like
00:13:25.39\00:13:28.32
I know lot of scripture,
00:13:28.33\00:13:29.30
but I been over so much, Dosung,
00:13:29.38\00:13:31.58
you can just almost quote it.
00:13:31.72\00:13:33.14
And you will get
to be the same way.
00:13:33.15\00:13:34.21
Daniel 9:25 says, Know
therefore and understand.
00:13:35.02\00:13:39.42
Well, why I'm reading it?
00:13:40.46\00:13:41.43
As you teach Bible studies,
00:13:41.87\00:13:43.09
you're gonna have to be
teaching people how to read.
00:13:43.10\00:13:45.30
So why don't we pick
somebody from the back
00:13:45.76\00:13:47.76
of this table right back there
00:13:47.77\00:13:48.82
and you all read
Daniel chapter 9 verse 25.
00:13:48.83\00:13:52.58
Ryan, thank you so much
for volunteering there brother.
00:13:52.59\00:13:54.49
And just keep that
mic on under the chin
00:13:54.78\00:13:56.32
not up from your mouth
because it'll pop, pop, pop,
00:13:56.33\00:13:58.48
when you read it.
00:13:59.05\00:14:00.02
So, go ahead and
read that for us.
00:14:00.03\00:14:01.00
Daniel 9 verse 25.
00:14:01.01\00:14:03.17
Know therefore and understand,
00:14:04.35\00:14:05.93
that from the going
forth of the commandment
00:14:06.16\00:14:08.21
to restore and
to build Jerusalem
00:14:08.53\00:14:10.73
unto the Messiah the
Prince shall be seven weeks,
00:14:10.74\00:14:13.53
and threescore and two weeks.
00:14:13.98\00:14:15.52
Okay, so you can
stop right there,
00:14:15.80\00:14:17.23
because remember in this study
00:14:17.24\00:14:18.62
and we'll just
review that for those
00:14:18.97\00:14:20.16
who there are watching this
00:14:20.17\00:14:21.90
and who are not
with us the last time
00:14:21.91\00:14:23.31
we had this
program. In this study we are
00:14:23.44\00:14:25.49
focusing on the
first part of Daniel 9:25
00:14:25.62\00:14:28.62
because that
talks about the Messiah.
00:14:28.76\00:14:30.17
And we are focusing on
the first part of Daniel 9:26
00:14:30.70\00:14:33.35
because that
talks about the Messiah.
00:14:33.49\00:14:35.06
Then we're focusing on
the first part of 9:27,
00:14:35.48\00:14:38.58
because that
talks about the Messiah.
00:14:38.72\00:14:40.36
The second part of
9:25, 9:26 and 9:27
00:14:40.90\00:14:45.00
don't focus on the Messiah,
00:14:45.16\00:14:46.76
they focus on the
city. So, for this purpose,
00:14:47.06\00:14:49.78
the purpose of this Bible
study we're simply focusing
00:14:50.13\00:14:52.39
on Daniel chapter 9
the first part of 25,
00:14:53.05\00:14:55.31
the first part of
26, the first part of 27.
00:14:55.32\00:14:57.91
And that's what
you read there Ryan
00:14:58.07\00:14:59.16
was the first part of
Daniel chapter 9 verse 25.
00:14:59.17\00:15:03.17
Know therefore
and understand that
00:15:03.63\00:15:04.75
from the going
forth of the commandment
00:15:04.76\00:15:06.08
to restore and to
build Jerusalem unto what?
00:15:06.09\00:15:10.23
Messiah the Prince.
00:15:11.24\00:15:12.88
So, here is what we've to take,
00:15:13.99\00:15:15.18
just a moment and
we've to ask ourselves
00:15:15.48\00:15:18.23
well who is Messiah the Prince?
00:15:18.41\00:15:20.64
And so what we're
going to do is we're going
00:15:21.05\00:15:22.14
to look at this word Messiah.
00:15:22.15\00:15:23.93
Know therefore and understand,
00:15:24.49\00:15:25.46
that from the going
forth of the commandment
00:15:25.47\00:15:26.84
to restore and
to build Jerusalem
00:15:26.98\00:15:28.07
unto the Messiah the Prince.
00:15:28.63\00:15:31.02
Now, when was the
command to restore
00:15:31.15\00:15:33.05
and build
Jerusalem put into effect?
00:15:33.06\00:15:34.52
You missed a part of it,
00:15:37.11\00:15:38.08
when was it put into effect?
00:15:38.09\00:15:39.15
The fall of 457BC, that's right.
00:15:40.84\00:15:44.87
So notice on our
graphic here, the Messiah.
00:15:45.26\00:15:48.28
The original
language word is "mashiyach"
00:15:49.00\00:15:52.83
and I don't know if I
pronounced that correctly,
00:15:53.63\00:15:55.24
but you see the
pronunciation there
00:15:55.25\00:15:56.72
on the far right of your screen
00:15:56.73\00:15:57.99
"mashiyach" means anointed.
00:15:58.82\00:16:02.06
So in Daniel chapter 9 verse 25,
00:16:03.14\00:16:05.65
when it says know
therefore and understand,
00:16:05.66\00:16:07.64
that from the going
forth of the commandment,
00:16:08.24\00:16:10.05
to restore and
to build Jerusalem
00:16:10.29\00:16:11.57
unto the Messiah the Prince.
00:16:11.83\00:16:13.21
So you have this
command to restore
00:16:13.58\00:16:15.09
and build Jerusalem.
00:16:15.10\00:16:16.07
Oops, then you have
over here Messiah the Prince.
00:16:16.45\00:16:19.00
In between then and
here is going to be a space
00:16:19.98\00:16:22.55
of time 483 years.
00:16:22.56\00:16:25.02
And when you get over here,
00:16:26.08\00:16:27.05
you get to Messiah or
you get to the Anointed One.
00:16:27.06\00:16:30.34
You get to the Anointed One.
00:16:31.28\00:16:32.50
So, lets just look
here on our graph again,
00:16:32.90\00:16:34.83
we have fall of 457BC
down there at the bottom.
00:16:35.48\00:16:38.71
483 literal years
takes us to the fall of 27ad,
00:16:39.20\00:16:43.02
then above that you
see in yellow we have
00:16:43.52\00:16:45.62
their Anointed One
or Messiah the Prince.
00:16:45.63\00:16:47.82
So from 457BC, we
count 483 literal years
00:16:48.29\00:16:54.79
that brings us to 27AD
which takes us to the Messiah.
00:16:55.09\00:16:59.71
It takes us to the
time period that Messiah is
00:17:00.33\00:17:03.17
to be on the scene and
this is where this Bible
00:17:03.18\00:17:05.65
study gets very, very exciting.
00:17:05.66\00:17:08.75
So, we're going to
go to our next text.
00:17:08.77\00:17:12.82
This is our seventh
text in the Daniel chapter 9
00:17:12.83\00:17:15.74
study and we're going to
go to Acts the 10 chapter.
00:17:15.75\00:17:19.30
Now I'm going to
pick on Shelita here.
00:17:19.77\00:17:22.68
And Shelita,
I'm going to ask you
00:17:23.23\00:17:24.97
to get me from
Daniel to the book of Acts.
00:17:24.98\00:17:27.94
Pick up that microphone there,
00:17:27.95\00:17:29.17
hold that under
your chin so it doesn't
00:17:29.77\00:17:31.01
pop at us and help
me get from Daniel.
00:17:31.02\00:17:34.53
I'm a new Bible student,
00:17:34.54\00:17:35.77
you been teaching me the Bible.
00:17:36.04\00:17:37.40
You been
helping me understand it
00:17:37.72\00:17:39.04
and now you want to help me get
00:17:39.30\00:17:40.73
to the book of Acts from Daniel.
00:17:40.86\00:17:42.30
So here I'm in Daniel..
00:17:42.31\00:17:43.29
All right and I
remember you tell me
00:17:46.36\00:17:47.44
that New Testament
started with Matthew, right.
00:17:47.45\00:17:49.75
Four chapters over, so Matthew,
00:17:50.41\00:17:52.44
Mark, Luke, John and then Acts.
00:17:52.59\00:17:56.71
And then Acts.
00:17:57.28\00:17:58.25
Oh! Shelita, thank you so much.
00:17:58.39\00:18:00.40
And where are we going in Acts?
00:18:00.60\00:18:01.71
Acts chapter 10 verse 38.
00:18:02.39\00:18:04.59
Acts chapter 10 verse 38,
00:18:05.89\00:18:08.72
oh very nice.
00:18:09.12\00:18:10.12
Okay so you
wanna read that for us
00:18:10.90\00:18:12.32
as long as you go
that microphone handy?
00:18:12.33\00:18:13.80
How God anointed
Jesus of Nazareth
00:18:18.71\00:18:20.86
with the Holy
Ghost and with power:
00:18:21.32\00:18:23.17
who went about doing good,
00:18:24.14\00:18:26.00
and healing all that
were oppressed of the devil;
00:18:26.38\00:18:29.30
for God was with him.
00:18:29.31\00:18:30.79
Notice this scripture
says here in Acts 10:38,
00:18:31.55\00:18:34.20
how God did what? Anointed who?
00:18:34.70\00:18:39.55
Jesus of Nazareth.
00:18:40.37\00:18:42.13
Who was it that we
are looking for 483 years
00:18:42.67\00:18:47.00
after the fall of 457BC?
00:18:47.28\00:18:49.68
We're looking for the
Anointed One or the Messiah.
00:18:51.08\00:18:52.72
You're both right because
mashiyach means anointed,
00:18:52.86\00:18:56.00
Anointed One or Messiah.
00:18:56.42\00:18:57.82
So, here Jesus Christ is what?
00:18:58.06\00:19:00.67
Anointed. What is Jesus Christ
00:19:01.65\00:19:03.99
anointed with?
00:19:04.34\00:19:06.01
Okay now I'm asking
you these questions.
00:19:07.55\00:19:09.87
When you give this
Bible study it's imperative
00:19:10.22\00:19:13.20
that you ask those questions.
00:19:13.32\00:19:15.18
So here we see in
Acts chapter 10 verse 38
00:19:16.24\00:19:19.18
I'm just going to say it again.
00:19:19.39\00:19:20.36
In Acts Chapter 10 verse 38
00:19:20.63\00:19:22.04
it says how God did what?
00:19:22.21\00:19:24.33
Anointed who? Jesus of Nazareth.
00:19:25.62\00:19:29.87
With what? The Holy Spirit
00:19:29.88\00:19:32.77
or the Holy Ghost.
00:19:32.78\00:19:33.75
So, God anointed
Jesus of Nazareth.
00:19:34.00\00:19:37.09
So Jesus is the
Anointed One, isn't he?
00:19:37.49\00:19:41.34
What you and I want to
know is was Jesus anointed
00:19:42.45\00:19:47.34
in the fall of 27AD. Was he?
00:19:48.91\00:19:52.96
Because that's what that,
00:19:53.45\00:19:54.73
you remember when we
first started this Bible study
00:19:54.74\00:19:58.15
we said if the
principle of a day for a year
00:19:58.71\00:20:01.35
does not work then
we just throw it out.
00:20:01.52\00:20:04.54
So we're going to
see here if that works.
00:20:05.98\00:20:08.07
So we're looking
for Jesus to be anointed
00:20:08.62\00:20:12.55
with the Holy Spirit.
00:20:12.99\00:20:14.40
And what day do we
expect that to happen,
00:20:15.54\00:20:17.66
or what's the year?
00:20:18.36\00:20:19.33
27AD. So, for this we'll
go to our next reference.
00:20:20.61\00:20:24.72
Our next reference is
in Luke the 3 Chapter.
00:20:25.26\00:20:29.64
So, again lets see
who can we pick on,
00:20:30.24\00:20:32.01
we will go
ahead and pick on Tom.
00:20:32.52\00:20:35.53
Tom, can you help me
get from Acts chapter 10
00:20:36.03\00:20:39.49
to Luke chapter 3, I'm
a new Bible student again,
00:20:39.83\00:20:42.52
I don't know how to get there.
00:20:42.70\00:20:43.67
Help me get there.
00:20:44.05\00:20:45.06
From the book of Acts go left.
00:20:45.88\00:20:48.09
Go left, okay. Go left. Okay,
00:20:48.10\00:20:49.97
when you said go left,
00:20:49.98\00:20:50.95
that right what I'm looking at.
00:20:50.96\00:20:52.28
To your left.
00:20:53.13\00:20:54.10
Okay, I'll go to my left,
00:20:54.11\00:20:55.08
there we go, all right.
00:20:55.09\00:20:56.73
Well go past John, past John.
00:20:56.74\00:20:59.34
And Luke is
right in front of John.
00:20:59.35\00:21:00.97
Oh! I found it,
thank you very much.
00:21:01.29\00:21:02.97
Luke chapter 3. Luke chapter 3,
00:21:03.31\00:21:04.91
now I want you to
notice on the graphic
00:21:05.25\00:21:07.31
that they have it there,
00:21:07.45\00:21:08.42
we're going to Luke 3,
21 and 22 before we go.
00:21:09.24\00:21:14.57
Don't put the mic down too
fast down you'll be reading.
00:21:14.72\00:21:16.83
We're going to
go to Luke 21 and 22
00:21:17.07\00:21:19.11
before we go to
Luke 3, 1 through 3.
00:21:19.12\00:21:23.11
And I'll tell you
exactly why once we read it.
00:21:23.68\00:21:26.10
So we are reading
Luke 3 verses 21 and 22.
00:21:26.58\00:21:31.39
And again, those of
you that are at home,
00:21:31.61\00:21:33.27
were learning how to
read while keeping...
00:21:33.28\00:21:34.96
maintaining eye
contact with the people
00:21:35.33\00:21:37.23
that we are studying with.
00:21:37.24\00:21:38.21
And so what Tom
is going to do now
00:21:38.62\00:21:39.99
is he's going to
make sure that he is
00:21:40.00\00:21:40.97
making eye contact with you.
00:21:40.98\00:21:42.42
So, Tom, won't
you do that for us?
00:21:42.70\00:21:44.06
When all the people
were being baptized,
00:21:45.28\00:21:46.99
it came to pass that
Jesus also was baptized.
00:21:47.35\00:21:50.19
And while he prayed
the heaven was opened,
00:21:50.68\00:21:53.14
and the Holy Spirit
descended in bodily form
00:21:54.01\00:21:56.50
like a dove upon Him.
00:21:56.51\00:22:01.91
And a voice came from heaven,
00:22:02.34\00:22:03.54
which said., "You
are my beloved Son,
00:22:03.55\00:22:06.24
in you I am well pleased."
00:22:06.69\00:22:08.65
And maybe some of you at home
00:22:09.34\00:22:10.31
want to go with
there and help Tom pick up
00:22:10.43\00:22:11.74
whatever it is he dropped.
00:22:12.52\00:22:13.76
You did very good there Tom,
00:22:14.16\00:22:15.60
keep it going even
though your pen fell.
00:22:15.74\00:22:17.20
Notice the reason
that we're reading verse
00:22:17.70\00:22:20.07
in Luke chapter 3,
00:22:20.35\00:22:21.37
the reason that we
read verses 21 and 22
00:22:21.51\00:22:23.82
before we go to
verses 1 through 3 is this.
00:22:23.96\00:22:26.17
Because we just came from
a text in Acts chapter 10.
00:22:27.34\00:22:29.91
Acts chapter 10 told
us that Jesus was what?
00:22:30.72\00:22:33.28
Anointed with the Holy
Spirit or the Holy Ghost.
00:22:34.45\00:22:38.76
And who anointed him with that?
00:22:39.59\00:22:40.67
God did right.
00:22:41.56\00:22:42.53
Then we get over
here and we see the event
00:22:43.62\00:22:46.97
that Jesus was anointed
with the Holy Spirit at.
00:22:47.85\00:22:51.22
And what is the event
that Jesus was anointed
00:22:51.81\00:22:56.60
with the Holy Spirit?
00:22:56.82\00:22:57.79
His baptism,
that's absolutely right.
00:22:58.58\00:23:00.46
So, the event
that Jesus is anointed
00:23:01.78\00:23:04.72
with the Holy
Spirit is his baptism.
00:23:04.73\00:23:06.83
But what you and I
are curious to know
00:23:07.73\00:23:10.18
is since Jesus was
anointed with the Holy Spirit
00:23:10.98\00:23:14.51
and he was
anointed at his baptism.
00:23:15.71\00:23:17.73
What year did his
baptism take place?
00:23:18.60\00:23:22.10
If it's the year 27AD,
00:23:24.30\00:23:27.49
then Mrs Gloria we know beyond
00:23:28.29\00:23:30.31
the shadow of a
doubt that the day
00:23:30.43\00:23:33.23
for year principle
works, wouldn't we.
00:23:33.36\00:23:36.56
So here we are, we
know that Jesus now
00:23:37.31\00:23:39.48
was anointed Acts 10:38.
00:23:39.73\00:23:41.72
We know that he was
anointed with a Holy Ghost
00:23:42.13\00:23:43.76
Acts 10:38 and
Luke Chapter 3 verse 22.
00:23:44.09\00:23:47.62
The event that he is
anointed at is his baptism.
00:23:48.78\00:23:51.39
But what year
did this take place?
00:23:51.52\00:23:54.21
So we'll read Luke
Chapter 3 verses 1,2, and 3.
00:23:54.22\00:23:58.66
Now who in this room is very,
00:23:59.03\00:24:00.92
who is a good phonetic leader?
00:24:01.18\00:24:03.07
Who reads very
good phonetically?
00:24:03.60\00:24:05.36
Oh! Shelita, we're gonna
put you to the test sister.
00:24:05.71\00:24:08.62
So you grab
that microphone there
00:24:08.79\00:24:10.29
and you are going to
read verses 1,2, and 3.
00:24:10.77\00:24:13.10
Now she, her eyes
are getting real big.
00:24:13.11\00:24:14.60
What did I just do it to myself?
00:24:14.61\00:24:16.42
All right, now you read,
00:24:17.25\00:24:18.22
if you have any trouble
I'll help you out though okay.
00:24:18.23\00:24:20.08
We're starting
in Luke 3 verse 1.
00:24:20.42\00:24:22.09
Now in the fifteenth year of
the reign of Tiberius Caesar,
00:24:23.33\00:24:26.36
Pontius Pilate being
governor of Judea and Herod
00:24:26.79\00:24:30.21
being Tetrarch of Galilee
00:24:30.22\00:24:34.41
and his brother
Philip Tetrarch of Iturea
00:24:35.22\00:24:39.38
and of the region of Traconitis,
00:24:39.53\00:24:43.58
and Lysanias, the
Tetrarch of Abilene
00:24:44.16\00:24:49.50
and Annas and Caiaphas,
00:24:49.98\00:24:57.05
being the high priest,
00:24:57.44\00:24:58.49
the word of God came to John,
00:24:58.50\00:25:00.25
the son of
Zechariah in the wilderness.
00:25:00.26\00:25:02.33
And he came in so all
the country about Jordan,
00:25:02.69\00:25:06.23
preaching a
baptism of repentance
00:25:06.47\00:25:08.13
for the remission of sins.
00:25:08.53\00:25:09.58
Okay, so the Bible said,
00:25:10.44\00:25:11.50
you did a very fine job on
that phonetic reading there,
00:25:11.51\00:25:14.33
I love that.
That's one of the texts
00:25:14.57\00:25:16.96
that I love watching people read
00:25:16.97\00:25:18.38
because it puts the
phonetic reader to the test.
00:25:18.53\00:25:21.08
Notice the first part of
Luke chapter 3 verse 1 it says,
00:25:22.92\00:25:26.72
now in the fifteenth year
00:25:26.73\00:25:29.37
of the reign of
Tiberius Caesar Pontius Pilate
00:25:29.97\00:25:33.97
being governor
so one and so for.
00:25:34.10\00:25:36.67
The fifteenth year of
the reign of Tiberius Caesar
00:25:37.16\00:25:41.76
was guess what?
00:25:41.77\00:25:42.74
27AD. The fifteenth
year of the reign of
00:25:44.10\00:25:51.21
Tiberius Caesar was 27AD.
00:25:51.22\00:25:54.21
And yes Tim,
you can look this up
00:25:54.36\00:25:56.98
just like you did
the follow of 457BC
00:25:57.48\00:26:00.16
and you can find this
to be the case in history.
00:26:00.67\00:26:03.90
The fifteenth
year of the reign of
00:26:05.50\00:26:06.71
Tiberius Caesar was 27AD.
00:26:06.84\00:26:09.45
Do you know what this means?
00:26:09.83\00:26:10.85
Vanessa, do you
know what this means?
00:26:11.66\00:26:12.85
Vanessa says, I've
no idea what this means.
00:26:13.91\00:26:15.49
Do you know what
this means, Mike?
00:26:15.73\00:26:16.84
Okay it means Jesus
is a smooth Messiah.
00:26:18.33\00:26:20.07
Do you know what else it means?
00:26:20.08\00:26:21.05
It means that he
came right on time.
00:26:23.38\00:26:24.90
Oh! Yes, it means that
the day for year principle,
00:26:26.18\00:26:30.74
the principle that we
pulled out of what references.
00:26:31.74\00:26:34.05
There were two references.
00:26:34.06\00:26:35.03
Numbers 14 and
verse 34, that's right.
00:26:36.59\00:26:41.02
And what was it? Ezekiel 4:6.
00:26:41.47\00:26:44.21
Everybody is like
fast on the draw here.
00:26:44.83\00:26:46.42
Yes, go ahead, you
want to grab the microphone
00:26:47.43\00:26:48.92
talk to us.
00:26:48.93\00:26:49.90
I was just going to say also
00:26:50.92\00:26:51.89
that there was
only one year in history
00:26:52.01\00:26:54.10
where all of these
people wrote at the same time.
00:26:54.11\00:26:56.36
So that also
qualifies, because sometimes
00:26:57.40\00:26:59.38
if you look up
the fifteenth year
00:26:59.39\00:27:01.53
of Tiberius Caesar you will get
00:27:01.54\00:27:03.38
three different years
based on what math they use.
00:27:03.63\00:27:06.87
Whether they use the regnal year
00:27:07.13\00:27:08.55
or the succession
year or then there is
00:27:08.56\00:27:10.80
another year evidently.
00:27:10.81\00:27:11.89
So, the fifteenth year of
the reign of Tiberius Caesar,
00:27:12.31\00:27:15.99
the year that
John came baptizing.
00:27:16.99\00:27:19.28
The baptism of
remission of sins.
00:27:20.40\00:27:22.17
Jesus is
baptized, the fifteenth year
00:27:22.61\00:27:26.04
of the reign of
Tiberius Caesar is 27AD.
00:27:26.05\00:27:29.66
27AD the day for
year principle works.
00:27:30.92\00:27:35.07
We pull that
out of Numbers 14:34
00:27:35.88\00:27:37.74
and out of Ezekiel
chapter 4 and verse 6.
00:27:38.17\00:27:41.19
Now, remember at the
beginning of this study
00:27:42.39\00:27:45.19
we said to
ourselves, if it doesn't work
00:27:45.20\00:27:46.73
we throw it out.
00:27:47.14\00:27:48.27
But did it work?
00:27:49.17\00:27:50.14
So what we have to do with it?
00:27:50.81\00:27:51.78
We have to keep
it, we have to use it.
00:27:52.75\00:27:54.61
Jesus of Nazareth,
you remember our purpose.
00:27:55.32\00:27:58.42
Jesus of Nazareth is
the Messiah prophesied
00:27:59.78\00:28:05.55
about in Daniel chapter 9.
00:28:05.56\00:28:08.39
But we haven't even got into
the most exciting point yet.
00:28:09.06\00:28:12.22
I just love this done.
00:28:12.82\00:28:14.14
We got to review slide up here
00:28:14.51\00:28:16.12
and I'm just gonna
review from the beginning.
00:28:18.13\00:28:19.62
Reputation deep impression
00:28:19.63\00:28:22.02
and maybe some of
you here in the classroom
00:28:22.57\00:28:24.73
are having some
trouble staying awake.
00:28:25.18\00:28:26.70
Maybe, you want just
do some jumping jacks
00:28:26.71\00:28:28.42
or something that,
00:28:28.43\00:28:29.40
stretch or do
something it's alright.
00:28:29.41\00:28:31.14
Just hop up, go to back
of the room and do that.
00:28:31.15\00:28:32.94
Maybe, those of
you at home you want
00:28:33.26\00:28:34.33
to push the pause or something
00:28:34.34\00:28:35.90
and go get
yourself a drink of water
00:28:35.91\00:28:37.17
and wake yourselves up.
00:28:37.18\00:28:38.15
But here we've just eaten a meal
00:28:38.65\00:28:40.46
and so it's a little difficult
for some of us to be awake.
00:28:40.60\00:28:42.70
But we're all hearing it.
00:28:42.82\00:28:43.79
It's funny when you
call somebody out like that
00:28:44.34\00:28:46.21
and they want to wake
for at least three minutes.
00:28:46.48\00:28:48.53
So the Bible says in
Daniel Chapter 9 and verse 24,
00:28:49.06\00:28:52.71
70 weeks are
determined are cut off.
00:28:53.22\00:28:55.83
And so on our graph up here
00:28:56.26\00:28:57.25
you see 70 weeks as
same as 490 prophetic days.
00:28:57.26\00:29:00.57
490 prophetic days are as
the same as 490 literal years.
00:29:01.16\00:29:05.23
Daniel 9:25 says, Know
therefore and understand,
00:29:05.50\00:29:08.64
that from the going
forth of the commandment
00:29:08.75\00:29:10.57
to restore and
to build Jerusalem
00:29:10.58\00:29:12.07
unto the Messiah the Prince.
00:29:12.40\00:29:13.66
So you have the commandment
to restore and build Jerusalem.
00:29:13.93\00:29:15.98
You go over
here and then you get
00:29:16.20\00:29:17.62
to Messiah the Prince.
00:29:17.63\00:29:19.12
And the time period
between those two blocks
00:29:19.13\00:29:22.08
there or those two book ends.
00:29:22.09\00:29:24.03
The time period
is 483 literal years.
00:29:24.44\00:29:28.00
And where do we get 483?
00:29:28.97\00:29:30.65
Because it says, know
therefore and understand,
00:29:31.10\00:29:32.64
that from the going forth
of the commandment to restore
00:29:32.74\00:29:34.12
and to build Jerusalem
unto the Messiah the Prince
00:29:34.13\00:29:35.62
shall be seven weeks,
and threescore and two weeks.
00:29:35.63\00:29:39.02
Which makes 69 weeks,
00:29:39.27\00:29:41.25
you do the simple math 7
days per week, time 69 weeks.
00:29:41.46\00:29:45.03
If you 483 prophetic
days or 483 literal years.
00:29:45.35\00:29:50.16
We also found that
the command to restore
00:29:50.70\00:29:52.39
and build Jerusalem
was in the seventh year
00:29:52.40\00:29:54.75
of the reign of
Artaxerxes the King.
00:29:54.76\00:29:56.28
Can anybody tell me
what reference we went to,
00:29:56.29\00:29:57.89
To find that out?
00:29:57.90\00:29:58.87
Ezra chapter 7
verse 7, 11, 24 to 26.
00:30:00.29\00:30:06.14
See you guys got it,
you can give this study.
00:30:06.15\00:30:07.84
I am bound and
determined to knock that thing
00:30:07.85\00:30:09.52
over before the day is gone.
00:30:09.53\00:30:10.60
So 483 literal years
from the fall of 457BC
00:30:13.51\00:30:16.73
took us up to the fall of 27AD.
00:30:16.74\00:30:19.63
In the fall of 27AD we
should expect to find who?
00:30:20.14\00:30:23.12
We should expect here
to find Messiah right.
00:30:24.91\00:30:27.27
Command to restore
and build Jerusalem
00:30:27.69\00:30:29.20
unto Messiah the Prince.
00:30:29.21\00:30:30.98
483 literal years, we
get to the fall of 27AD
00:30:30.99\00:30:38.13
which is the fifteenth year
of the reign of Tiberius Caesar.
00:30:38.14\00:30:40.57
We see that Jesus
Christ or Jesus of Nazareth
00:30:40.58\00:30:43.74
was anointed
with the Holy Spirit
00:30:44.14\00:30:47.14
at his baptism in the
fifteenth year of the reign
00:30:47.15\00:30:49.93
of Tiberius
Caesar which was 27AD.
00:30:49.94\00:30:53.62
Now we need to go to
the next exciting part.
00:30:54.02\00:30:56.50
So we go to our next reference.
00:30:56.84\00:30:58.74
Daniel chapter 9,
so when you are giving
00:31:00.26\00:31:03.24
this Bible study it maybe
well for you to tell the people
00:31:03.25\00:31:05.81
that you are studying with,
00:31:05.82\00:31:06.91
that they will want to put
one of those little tassels.
00:31:06.92\00:31:09.73
You know, how the Bible
have those things right there.
00:31:09.74\00:31:11.58
You may want to put one
of these little red strings
00:31:11.98\00:31:14.04
right there in Daniel chapter 9
00:31:14.44\00:31:15.92
because you'll be
coming back to it quite often.
00:31:15.93\00:31:17.86
Or a piece of paper or
something that they have there.
00:31:18.15\00:31:20.68
So, we're in
Daniel chapter 9 verse 26
00:31:22.30\00:31:24.70
and lets go ahead and
let Vanessa read that to us.
00:31:24.98\00:31:27.44
Now Vanessa, I'm in
Luke 20 or Luke chapter 3,
00:31:27.45\00:31:31.28
can you get me to Daniel?
00:31:31.46\00:31:32.61
Put the microphone up there
so we can hear which way to go.
00:31:35.94\00:31:37.93
She is trying to figure
it out, well that's alright.
00:31:39.77\00:31:41.21
We'll figure it out with you.
00:31:41.27\00:31:42.42
Am I gonna go
forward or backwards?
00:31:45.39\00:31:46.77
Backwards. Okay
I'm gonna go backwards,
00:31:47.55\00:31:49.39
I'm gonna go backwards
and oh, look I found it
00:31:50.04\00:31:52.53
right there made it easy on you.
00:31:52.54\00:31:53.79
All right, lets go to
Daniel chapter 9 and verse 26.
00:31:54.01\00:31:57.49
And after
threescore and two weeks
00:32:00.10\00:32:02.93
shall Messiah be cut
off, but not for himself.
00:32:02.94\00:32:06.84
Okay, remember,
we're just focusing
00:32:06.85\00:32:08.99
on the first
parts of 25, 26 and 27.
00:32:09.00\00:32:12.70
And the Bible said
right there after threescore
00:32:13.15\00:32:17.26
and two weeks
shall Messiah be what?
00:32:17.27\00:32:20.08
Cut off. When we're doing
our Bible our time prophecy here
00:32:21.26\00:32:26.42
verse 25 says
there would be 7 weeks
00:32:27.12\00:32:30.62
and then there would be what?
00:32:30.63\00:32:31.95
Threescore and
two weeks or 62 weeks.
00:32:33.21\00:32:35.78
Then the Bible
says after the 62 weeks
00:32:36.51\00:32:39.52
Messiah will be what? Cut off.
00:32:39.53\00:32:42.26
So, it's at some point
after the 62 week period.
00:32:42.64\00:32:46.58
The seven week
period, passed off the same.
00:32:46.59\00:32:49.41
62 week period is now history.
00:32:49.42\00:32:52.00
So sometime after the 62 week
period Messiah will be cut off,
00:32:52.01\00:32:59.01
but not for himself.
After 62 weeks Messiah
00:32:59.49\00:33:06.07
would be cut off
but not for himself.
00:33:06.23\00:33:09.74
Now this, Shelita,
I keep looking at you
00:33:10.93\00:33:13.09
when I tell you this is
exciting because this is just,
00:33:13.10\00:33:15.49
you gonna say it to yourself.
00:33:15.50\00:33:16.60
I love Jesus,
you ready to do that.
00:33:16.98\00:33:19.11
We're gonna to out next
reference which is Isaiah 53:8
00:33:19.35\00:33:23.48
right after I show you a slide
00:33:23.94\00:33:25.94
that says that
Messiah will be cut off.
00:33:25.95\00:33:28.85
You see, how I had to dampen
00:33:28.86\00:33:30.08
these other things
there on your graphic.
00:33:30.09\00:33:31.85
Messiah will be
cut off on the fall
00:33:31.86\00:33:33.56
far right of your
screen up near the top.
00:33:33.57\00:33:35.76
Messiah will be cut off.
When will Messiah be cut off?
00:33:35.77\00:33:38.90
Why is Messiah
going to be cut off?
00:33:39.68\00:33:41.33
The Bible said in Daniel 9:26
00:33:41.88\00:33:44.05
and after
threescore and two weeks
00:33:44.48\00:33:46.74
Messiah will be cut
off, but not for himself.
00:33:47.08\00:33:51.01
And now we're
going to Isaiah 53,
00:33:51.78\00:33:53.97
so our next reference
Isaiah 53 and verse 8.
00:33:54.31\00:33:59.20
Isaiah, I'm in Daniel,
00:33:59.64\00:34:01.20
and so I'm turning
to the left in my Bible,
00:34:01.21\00:34:03.71
helping everybody find
that. I'm going to Isaiah 53.
00:34:04.05\00:34:07.60
Isaiah 53 is one
of the most potent,
00:34:07.61\00:34:12.15
direct
prophecies of the Messiah.
00:34:12.68\00:34:17.34
You read Isaiah 53,
you compare Isaiah 53
00:34:18.87\00:34:22.97
with the life of Christ
00:34:23.32\00:34:24.52
and you'll see
indeed Jesus Christ,
00:34:24.53\00:34:28.06
Christos also means anointed
by the way, did you know that?
00:34:28.50\00:34:31.42
Christos, Christ,
Christos means anointed.
00:34:31.74\00:34:34.72
So, here we are
Isaiah 53 and verse 8.
00:34:35.10\00:34:39.73
Isaiah 53 and verse 8,
and we'll come over here
00:34:39.74\00:34:42.26
to this side of
the room and Tim,
00:34:42.27\00:34:43.73
why don't you do that for us?
00:34:43.74\00:34:44.85
He is gonna get that microphone
00:34:45.20\00:34:46.27
and put it under his
chin so it doesn't pop at us.
00:34:46.28\00:34:48.40
Isaiah 53 and verse 8,
He was taken from prison
00:34:48.66\00:34:52.90
and from judgment, and who
shall declare his generation?
00:34:53.11\00:34:57.58
For he was cut off out
of the land of the living,
00:34:57.98\00:35:00.44
for the transgression of
my people was He stricken.
00:35:00.45\00:35:03.66
A prophecy of the Messiah
says the Messiah will be what?
00:35:04.95\00:35:08.58
Cut off. Why?
00:35:09.74\00:35:11.97
What does it say
there in the text?
00:35:14.33\00:35:15.54
For the
transgression of my people.
00:35:17.50\00:35:19.47
Daniel chapter 9 verse 26 says
00:35:19.80\00:35:22.22
that after 62 weeks
Messiah will be what?
00:35:22.23\00:35:25.58
Cut off, but not for himself.
00:35:26.19\00:35:30.88
Isaiah 53:8 says
that Messiah was cut off
00:35:32.07\00:35:36.33
for the
transgression of His people.
00:35:38.60\00:35:42.48
Do you consider yourself
to be one of God's people?
00:35:45.41\00:35:47.55
So, what was the
reason that Jesus had to die?
00:35:49.40\00:35:51.65
For us, for our transgressions.
00:35:53.53\00:35:56.22
Jesus was sinless
and yet Jesus died
00:35:56.69\00:36:04.37
so that you could
live a sinless life.
00:36:04.87\00:36:07.69
So, that He could
live His life in you.
00:36:09.15\00:36:11.90
This is where it
gets exciting for me
00:36:13.15\00:36:14.91
because Jesus came to give
me Scott Moore eternal life.
00:36:14.92\00:36:22.50
He was not cut off because
of anything he did, Robert.
00:36:23.78\00:36:26.87
He was cut off because
of something that we did.
00:36:26.88\00:36:29.81
Jesus was cut
off out of the land
00:36:31.29\00:36:33.49
of the living for
our transgression.
00:36:33.50\00:36:36.15
And I just think
that's so neat how Daniel,
00:36:36.52\00:36:40.16
or Gabriel
talking to Daniel says
00:36:40.17\00:36:41.99
after 62 weeks he will be
cut off but for not himself.
00:36:42.97\00:36:45.92
And you get to Isaiah 53,
the prophecy about the Messiah,
00:36:47.34\00:36:49.94
and it says that He is cut off
00:36:50.06\00:36:51.30
but He is cut off
for our transgressions.
00:36:53.12\00:36:54.96
What kind of love is
that? I just love that.
00:36:55.93\00:36:59.91
So, Jesus, Isaiah
53:8 the reason that
00:37:01.43\00:37:03.48
we go there is
to show that Messiah
00:37:03.49\00:37:05.63
or the
prophesied lamb is cut off.
00:37:05.93\00:37:09.25
And he is cut
off not for himself
00:37:09.94\00:37:12.05
but in the last part
it says for he was cut off
00:37:12.45\00:37:15.69
out of the land of the
living for the transgression
00:37:15.70\00:37:19.30
of my people was He stricken.
00:37:19.31\00:37:22.69
Jesus was cut off
for us, because of us,
00:37:23.55\00:37:28.94
because we made the mistakes.
00:37:29.50\00:37:31.55
Lets go to our
next reference here.
00:37:35.53\00:37:37.09
We are going back
to Daniel Chapter 9,
00:37:37.10\00:37:39.17
remember I told you
just got to keep that
00:37:39.18\00:37:40.54
little red thing there
then you never have to help
00:37:40.55\00:37:42.76
anybody get back over
there when I'll say you just,
00:37:42.77\00:37:44.65
you just tell me
go back to the little
00:37:44.99\00:37:46.23
red sticky thing
right, or the red indicator.
00:37:46.24\00:37:49.06
We are going to Daniel
chapter 9 and verse 27.
00:37:49.47\00:37:55.91
Daniel chapter 9 and
verse 27, so we're in verse 26
00:37:56.68\00:38:00.21
and we simply show
that there was that
00:38:00.55\00:38:02.23
seven week period
that's in history.
00:38:02.24\00:38:03.91
Then there is a 62
week period history,
00:38:03.92\00:38:06.35
after 62 week
sometime after 62 weeks
00:38:06.36\00:38:09.43
Messiah will be cut
off, but not for himself.
00:38:09.77\00:38:12.46
We go to Isaiah
53:8 we show that indeed
00:38:12.72\00:38:14.99
Messiah was cut off for the
transgression of his people.
00:38:15.00\00:38:18.02
Now back over
here in Daniel 9:27
00:38:19.21\00:38:22.13
to see when after,
we are going over here
00:38:22.14\00:38:26.24
to see when after that 62
week period was Messiah cut off.
00:38:26.25\00:38:31.54
When after that
was Messiah cut off?
00:38:32.34\00:38:35.80
And who is going to
read that for us Daniel 9:27
00:38:36.28\00:38:39.57
and you know Mrs. Gloria I
just love the way you read.
00:38:39.88\00:38:42.05
Would you mind
reading that for us?
00:38:42.06\00:38:43.32
Daniel chapter 9 verse 27,
the first part of verse 27.
00:38:43.65\00:38:49.18
And you need to
grab that microphone
00:38:50.94\00:38:52.81
and keep it under you chin.
00:38:52.82\00:38:54.16
Daniel 9:27 just the first part
that talks about the Messiah.
00:38:54.87\00:38:58.83
Daniel 9 verse 27.
00:39:01.51\00:39:03.39
Then he shall confirm a
covenant with many for one week;
00:39:05.42\00:39:10.71
But in the middle of the week
00:39:11.28\00:39:12.64
He shall bring an end
to sacrifice and offering.
00:39:12.96\00:39:17.02
And on the wing
of abominations...
00:39:18.26\00:39:20.74
Okay, so that's
good right there.
00:39:20.75\00:39:21.72
And to the end of the week,
00:39:21.83\00:39:23.09
into midst of the week rather
he shall cause the sacrifice
00:39:23.10\00:39:25.78
and the oblation or
offering as your version.
00:39:25.79\00:39:29.31
He shall confirm
the covenant with many,
00:39:30.05\00:39:32.25
who is the He? Messiah, Jesus,
00:39:32.26\00:39:35.59
Jesus Christ or
Jesus the Messiah.
00:39:35.60\00:39:38.20
You remember when
Andrew went and found Peter,
00:39:38.57\00:39:41.01
he says we found the
one of who Moses in the law
00:39:41.02\00:39:43.83
and the prophets did
write. Isn't that what he said?
00:39:43.84\00:39:46.28
He said we found the Messiah.
00:39:46.62\00:39:47.85
And He, Messiah shall confirm
00:39:49.86\00:39:52.49
the covenant with
many, for how long?
00:39:52.50\00:39:54.33
How much time do we
have left in this prophecy?
00:39:55.27\00:39:57.49
One week, the
seven weeks are gone,
00:39:58.22\00:40:00.41
the 62 weeks are gone,
00:40:00.74\00:40:02.04
we have total of how many weeks?
00:40:02.05\00:40:03.68
Seventy weeks and in
the middle of that week
00:40:04.20\00:40:08.10
Messiah will cause the sacrifice
and the offering to cease.
00:40:08.92\00:40:13.69
So, let's look at
what the event was that
00:40:14.76\00:40:18.83
caused the sacrifice
and the offering to cease.
00:40:18.84\00:40:23.75
Let's go to our next reference
00:40:23.76\00:40:26.34
we are going to
our 12 Daniel 9 text.
00:40:26.69\00:40:29.03
And we are going to
Matthew 27 verses 50 and 51.
00:40:29.04\00:40:34.08
Matthew 27 you are
turning to the right
00:40:34.09\00:40:36.22
from where you are in Daniel.
00:40:36.23\00:40:38.70
We are going back to
the New Testament book
00:40:38.71\00:40:40.44
of Matthew chapter
27 verse 50 and 51.
00:40:40.45\00:40:48.04
Now I wish I can
invite one of those
00:40:48.62\00:40:50.64
who at invite home
to read that for us,
00:40:50.65\00:40:52.23
but we wouldn't
be able to hear you
00:40:52.24\00:40:53.45
so again we have
to ask somebody here.
00:40:53.46\00:40:55.04
So, you are over
here one of we go ahead
00:40:55.40\00:40:57.86
and let's,
Robert, are you there?
00:40:57.87\00:41:00.11
Are you in Matthew 27 so
we'll let Robert read for us,
00:41:00.47\00:41:03.06
Matthew 27 verses 50 and 51.
00:41:03.42\00:41:08.02
Matthew 27
beginning in verse 50, Robert.
00:41:10.10\00:41:12.54
And Jesus cried out again
00:41:13.04\00:41:14.91
with a loud voice and
yielded up his spirit.
00:41:14.92\00:41:21.58
then behold, the veil
of the temple was torn
00:41:21.59\00:41:25.86
in two from the
top to the bottom;
00:41:26.32\00:41:28.24
on the earth quake,
and the rocks were split.
00:41:28.57\00:41:32.86
Now the Bible says
here the veil in the temple
00:41:33.49\00:41:37.79
was torn from top to the bottom.
00:41:37.80\00:41:39.31
Do you know that there was veil
00:41:39.65\00:41:41.70
that was approximately
a foot fit that separated
00:41:41.71\00:41:44.78
the most Holy place
form the Holy place.
00:41:44.88\00:41:48.48
And the only
person allowed to go into
00:41:49.79\00:41:51.77
the most Holy place
was the High Priest,
00:41:51.78\00:41:54.02
he would go in
there onetime a year
00:41:54.03\00:41:56.49
for the day of
atonement to symbolically
00:41:56.50\00:41:59.27
cleanse the
earthly sanctuary of sin.
00:41:59.28\00:42:02.49
And so the Bible
says that when Jesus died,
00:42:03.31\00:42:06.75
the veil that
separated the Holy Place
00:42:07.10\00:42:10.60
from the Most Holy
Place was torn into
00:42:10.61\00:42:13.27
from the top to the bottom.
00:42:13.28\00:42:15.29
It's very
significant that it wasn't torn
00:42:16.67\00:42:18.20
from the bottom to the top.
00:42:18.24\00:42:19.35
Because anybody
could have done that
00:42:19.36\00:42:20.87
if they were strong enough,
00:42:20.88\00:42:22.06
of course, foot thick material
maybe not, maybe Samson.
00:42:22.07\00:42:25.54
But he has been
long gone, right?
00:42:25.55\00:42:27.09
So, if that veil was torn
from the top to the bottom.
00:42:27.39\00:42:30.93
Now behind that
veil was supposed
00:42:32.41\00:42:35.32
to be the Shekinah
glory or the presence
00:42:35.33\00:42:38.79
of God among his people.
00:42:38.80\00:42:42.05
But, John chapter 14,
John chapter 1 verse 14 says
00:42:44.44\00:42:47.82
and the word was made
flesh, and dwelt among us.
00:42:48.59\00:42:52.75
That word dwelt
means tabernacled.
00:42:53.11\00:42:55.53
Means that he was veiled
in the flesh of humanity.
00:42:56.72\00:43:00.64
So, no longer was the Shekinah
glory in the Most Holy Place?
00:43:02.30\00:43:06.01
The Shekinah glory
was hanging on the cross.
00:43:06.47\00:43:09.77
And when he cried
out that veil was torn
00:43:10.83\00:43:15.50
from the top to the bottom.
00:43:15.51\00:43:16.82
Indicating that all earthly
sacrifices lost their meaning.
00:43:16.83\00:43:24.15
Oh! sure people
would continue to do that
00:43:25.08\00:43:27.38
until Jerusalem
was destroyed in AD 70.
00:43:27.39\00:43:30.20
But, there was
absolutely no significance
00:43:31.50\00:43:33.42
in this sacrifices anymore,
because the true lamb of God
00:43:33.43\00:43:36.78
had poured out
his life on Calvary
00:43:36.79\00:43:40.04
not for himself but for us.
00:43:41.29\00:43:44.02
So, Matthew 27:50
and 51 we are finding
00:43:44.89\00:43:48.14
the event where
Messiah was cut off
00:43:48.15\00:43:52.14
out of the land of the living,
00:43:52.15\00:43:53.80
not for himself but for
the transgression of his people
00:43:54.16\00:43:57.29
that event when
Messiah was cut is what?
00:43:57.56\00:44:00.29
His crucifixion,
that's absolutely right.
00:44:02.16\00:44:04.21
So, you see that on the graphic,
00:44:04.91\00:44:06.34
Messiah the far
right, Messiah is cut off
00:44:06.77\00:44:09.40
at the crucifixion in
the middle of the last week.
00:44:09.73\00:44:13.84
So, we have how many
weeks left in this prophecy?
00:44:13.85\00:44:16.51
We were in the
last week, aren't we?
00:44:18.81\00:44:20.43
The Bible says, in
the midst of the week
00:44:20.80\00:44:23.07
he will cause
sacrifice and oblation to cease,
00:44:23.08\00:44:26.40
or sacrifices and
offerings to cease.
00:44:26.89\00:44:29.31
In the middle of the week,
what's the middle of seven?
00:44:30.78\00:44:33.35
Three-and-half, how
long was Jesus ministry?
00:44:34.60\00:44:37.12
Three-and-half
years, so from the time that
00:44:37.64\00:44:41.12
Jesus is baptized the
beginning of his ministry,
00:44:41.13\00:44:44.52
you remember right
before of it's baptism
00:44:44.77\00:44:46.04
it's in Mark
chapter 1 verses 14 and 15,
00:44:46.05\00:44:48.29
I'm quite sure
that's the reference.
00:44:48.59\00:44:50.28
Where Jesus says
the time is fulfilled,
00:44:50.29\00:44:52.64
repent ye for the
kingdom of heaven is at hand.
00:44:52.98\00:44:55.59
The time that
Jesus was talking about
00:44:56.06\00:44:58.07
is the 483 year
prophecy about the Messiah.
00:44:58.08\00:45:02.50
The time is fulfilled
his baptism takes place,
00:45:02.89\00:45:05.66
he is anointed, he
is Messiah the prince,
00:45:05.87\00:45:08.88
he is cut off
three-and-half years
00:45:08.89\00:45:11.38
into his earthly
ministry not for something
00:45:11.39\00:45:14.81
he did but for
something we have done.
00:45:14.82\00:45:17.23
Now you can tell I'm
getting little animated,
00:45:17.48\00:45:19.67
because I think
this is so very exciting
00:45:19.68\00:45:22.01
that all of this fits
like a hand in a glove.
00:45:22.02\00:45:24.78
You and I cannot
take this last year
00:45:25.12\00:45:27.36
and throw it obtusely I
think that's a right word,
00:45:27.37\00:45:30.25
just throw it
down at the end of time
00:45:30.26\00:45:31.76
with no reference as to
when it begins, or when it ends.
00:45:31.77\00:45:34.48
It means the seven weeks,
or right before the 62 weeks.
00:45:34.73\00:45:38.08
The one week can
right out to the 62 weeks.
00:45:39.40\00:45:42.39
That says succession of
time prophecy there, 7, 62, 1
00:45:42.92\00:45:47.68
and in the middle of the
week he calls as sacrifices
00:45:47.91\00:45:51.43
and the offerings to
cease to have any merit,
00:45:51.44\00:45:53.71
you see that on
screen three-and-half years
00:45:53.72\00:45:56.34
into the last week
Jesus Christ is crucified.
00:45:56.60\00:46:00.19
That's powerful.
Now go back to Daniel,
00:46:02.14\00:46:04.97
go back to
Daniel. Daniel chapter,
00:46:05.33\00:46:08.17
you and I will, our
Bibles will naturally
00:46:08.18\00:46:10.20
just open to Daniel you know,
00:46:10.30\00:46:11.44
because I just flipped
twice and flop there I was.
00:46:11.81\00:46:14.07
Daniel chapter 9 verse 27,
00:46:14.43\00:46:16.03
I have a very
interesting question for you.
00:46:16.17\00:46:18.30
The Bible says here Daniel 9:27,
00:46:18.86\00:46:20.81
And he shall
confirm the covenant
00:46:20.82\00:46:22.35
with many for what?
00:46:22.36\00:46:23.41
For one week, if
Messiah is cut off
00:46:24.34\00:46:26.60
in the middle of this last week,
00:46:26.94\00:46:28.99
how was he going to
confirm the covenant
00:46:29.12\00:46:30.83
with many for the last half?
00:46:30.84\00:46:32.56
Let's go to
Hebrews chapter 2 verse 30,
00:46:35.56\00:46:37.74
you are
absolutely right there Mike,
00:46:37.75\00:46:39.18
through the apostles,
through those that heard him.
00:46:39.39\00:46:41.59
We are going to Hebrews,
00:46:42.66\00:46:43.65
Hebrews is in the New Testament
00:46:43.66\00:46:45.16
pass to the T
section of the New Testament.
00:46:45.48\00:46:48.48
So, you go pass the gospels,
you go pass the T section
00:46:48.49\00:46:52.18
and hear you are
Hebrews chapter 2 and verse 3.
00:46:52.48\00:46:55.76
And I just love to
read this if you don't mind.
00:46:55.77\00:46:58.09
So, Hebrews chapter
2 verse 3 says this.
00:46:58.10\00:47:01.29
How shall we
escape, if we neglect
00:47:02.66\00:47:06.05
so great salvation;
which at the first began
00:47:06.35\00:47:12.33
to be spoken by the what?
00:47:12.34\00:47:14.08
By the Lord, and
was confirmed unto us
00:47:14.61\00:47:19.16
by them that heard him.
00:47:19.58\00:47:22.02
So, the gospel it was
first spoken off by whom?
00:47:23.94\00:47:27.45
By the Lord Jesus, that's right,
00:47:28.22\00:47:30.30
and then it was
confirmed unto us by who?
00:47:30.66\00:47:33.59
Those that heard him,
so the Messiah confirms
00:47:34.82\00:47:37.40
the covenant with
many for the entire week.
00:47:37.41\00:47:39.79
First of all, for the
first three-and-half years
00:47:40.03\00:47:42.10
of that last week,
three-and-half prophetic days
00:47:42.18\00:47:44.83
in the middle of
that week he is cut off.
00:47:44.84\00:47:46.22
For the first
three-and-half years
00:47:46.30\00:47:47.72
he is confirming that
covenant of the 70-week prophecy
00:47:47.94\00:47:52.61
by preaching about it himself.
00:47:53.42\00:47:56.41
Then in the last
three-and-half years
00:47:56.84\00:47:58.95
of that last
seven week prophecy,
00:47:59.37\00:48:02.73
he is working through those
00:48:04.04\00:48:05.42
that had given
their life to him.
00:48:05.89\00:48:07.49
And my friend Jesus will
work through you the same way,
00:48:08.82\00:48:13.17
if you let him. The
same way, to be used by God.
00:48:13.68\00:48:18.84
So, let's continue
on here in our prophecy,
00:48:19.75\00:48:21.90
we go from Hebrews
chapter 2 to Acts chapter 7,
00:48:22.13\00:48:25.14
we are gonna go to the event
00:48:25.15\00:48:27.13
that closed out
the 70 week prophecy.
00:48:27.26\00:48:30.93
We are gonna go to
the event that ended
00:48:31.27\00:48:34.45
the 70 week prophecy or
the 490 literal year prophecy
00:48:34.46\00:48:39.26
So, here we are
in Acts chapter 7,
00:48:39.65\00:48:42.23
Acts, Matthew,
Mark, Luke, John, Acts
00:48:43.26\00:48:45.02
and I read this again because
it's a pretty long passage.
00:48:45.03\00:48:48.00
Acts chapter 7
beginning in verse 54,
00:48:48.55\00:48:51.45
Acts chapter 7 verse 54,
the Bible reads like this.
00:48:51.99\00:48:55.04
When they heard these things,
they were cut to the heart,
00:48:55.80\00:48:58.48
and they gnashed on
him with their teeth.
00:48:58.76\00:49:00.97
But he, taking that Stephen
being full of the Holy Ghost,
00:49:01.32\00:49:04.27
looked up
steadfastly into heaven,
00:49:04.63\00:49:06.79
and saw the glory of God,
00:49:07.17\00:49:08.99
and Jesus standing on
the right hand of God,
00:49:09.00\00:49:12.50
And said, Behold, I
see the heavens opened,
00:49:13.24\00:49:16.69
and the Son of man standing
on the right hand of God.
00:49:17.12\00:49:21.22
Then they cried
out with a loud voice,
00:49:22.04\00:49:24.21
and stopped their
ears, and ran upon him
00:49:25.48\00:49:28.01
with one accord, and
cast him out of the city,
00:49:28.11\00:49:30.90
and stoned him.
And the witnesses laid
00:49:31.31\00:49:34.50
their clothes at
a young man's feet,
00:49:34.51\00:49:36.52
whose name was Saul.
And they stoned Stephen,
00:49:36.90\00:49:40.86
calling upon God, and saying,
Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
00:49:40.87\00:49:44.70
And he kneeled down,
and cried with a loud voice,
00:49:45.27\00:49:47.92
Lord, lay not this
sin to their charge.
00:49:48.34\00:49:51.31
And when he had said
this, he fell asleep.
00:49:51.76\00:49:54.42
Chapter 8 verse 1, And Saul
was consenting to his death.
00:49:56.01\00:50:00.00
And at that time there
was a great persecution
00:50:00.59\00:50:03.38
against the church,
which was at Jerusalem;
00:50:03.45\00:50:05.98
and they were
all scattered abroad
00:50:06.33\00:50:08.35
throughout the
regions of Judaea and Samaria,
00:50:08.62\00:50:11.30
except the Apostles.
And devout men carried
00:50:11.56\00:50:14.04
Stephen to his burial, and
made great lamentation over him.
00:50:14.05\00:50:17.30
As for Saul, he
made havoc of the church,
00:50:17.70\00:50:20.53
entering into every house,
00:50:20.90\00:50:22.65
and haling men and women
committed them to prison.
00:50:23.23\00:50:26.38
Therefore, they that
were scattered abroad
00:50:26.66\00:50:28.96
went everywhere
preaching the what?
00:50:28.97\00:50:31.07
They went
everywhere preaching the word.
00:50:31.92\00:50:34.02
This persecution
that came up on the church
00:50:34.03\00:50:37.14
at the end of
the 70 year prophecy.
00:50:37.15\00:50:39.53
Those people that stoned
Stephen would the leaders
00:50:39.69\00:50:42.34
of the church and
one of the most ardent
00:50:42.35\00:50:45.89
of the opposes of Christianity
was a man named Saul.
00:50:45.90\00:50:49.02
I fell I like gone to
preach instead of teaching.
00:50:49.88\00:50:51.98
And Saul was holding the clothes
the man that stoned Stephen,
00:50:53.57\00:50:58.63
now Stephen was a
follower of Jesus by the way.
00:50:58.64\00:51:00.99
Stephen was a
deacon in the church,
00:51:01.35\00:51:03.05
so for those of us
maybe how are home,
00:51:03.47\00:51:05.33
maybe who are
here in the classroom
00:51:05.45\00:51:06.51
we think deacons job is
just open and close the church?
00:51:06.52\00:51:09.09
They may call up on
you to die for him one day.
00:51:10.48\00:51:12.51
And I pray that you will
just is faithful as Stephen was.
00:51:13.30\00:51:16.66
Saul here is consenting
to the death of Stephen.
00:51:18.48\00:51:22.75
He is holding the
clothes of the people
00:51:23.26\00:51:25.09
that are stoning him.
And it is at his right
00:51:25.10\00:51:29.62
after his
conversion when Paul is giving
00:51:29.63\00:51:32.30
his conversion
story in Acts chapter 22,
00:51:32.31\00:51:34.88
which in our next reference.
00:51:35.05\00:51:36.17
That Paul says his name
went from Saul to being Paul.
00:51:36.78\00:51:40.37
He says that God
sent him to the gentiles.
00:51:40.58\00:51:43.08
You remember as we
turn there to Acts 22
00:51:43.87\00:51:46.38
I want you to remember
the Bible says 70 weeks
00:51:47.58\00:51:50.52
were given to
Daniel and Daniel's people,
00:51:50.53\00:51:53.90
to finish the transgression
to make an end off sins,
00:51:55.49\00:51:59.05
to make
reconciliation for iniquity,
00:51:59.35\00:52:01.57
to bring an
everlasting righteousness,
00:52:01.81\00:52:03.93
to something about prophecy,
00:52:04.31\00:52:07.84
to fulfill
prophecy and the vision
00:52:08.10\00:52:11.26
and to anoint the most holy.
00:52:11.73\00:52:13.85
You have to forgive me
if I'm not been able to
00:52:13.86\00:52:15.08
recount that
exactly. But, that time period
00:52:15.09\00:52:19.43
of 70 weeks was
given to the Jewish nation,
00:52:19.44\00:52:22.26
to bring in the
coming of the Messiah
00:52:23.65\00:52:25.74
that would make
all of those things
00:52:25.75\00:52:27.31
listed in Daniel 9:24 a reality.
00:52:27.32\00:52:30.63
But, they failed
and so the gospel
00:52:32.02\00:52:35.06
then went from
just the Jewish nation
00:52:35.07\00:52:37.73
being the
representative of nation of God
00:52:38.10\00:52:42.86
here on this
earth, to every one of us,
00:52:42.87\00:52:45.80
being the
representative nation of God
00:52:46.19\00:52:50.16
here on this earth.
00:52:50.19\00:52:51.16
And so the gospel
goes to the gentiles
00:52:53.88\00:52:55.86
and this is what Paul says,
00:52:55.95\00:52:57.66
this is what
Paul says in Acts 22
00:52:57.99\00:52:59.86
and I'm still not
quite there, am I?
00:52:59.87\00:53:01.27
Acts 22, and of
course, we are getting down
00:53:01.58\00:53:04.28
this is our last
reference in this Bible study.
00:53:04.29\00:53:07.49
So, we're getting
down here to the appeal,
00:53:07.89\00:53:10.38
this is the appeal and again
when I'm giving the Bible study
00:53:11.02\00:53:13.55
always like to make
sure even if it's my turn,
00:53:13.58\00:53:15.91
if I'm giving a group study,
00:53:15.92\00:53:17.46
even if it's not my
turn I like to be able
00:53:17.47\00:53:20.36
to be the one that gives
or reads the last reference.
00:53:20.65\00:53:24.80
Because I want to
make specific appeal.
00:53:25.10\00:53:26.93
So, Acts chapter
22 verses 20 and 21,
00:53:26.94\00:53:32.26
well, let's start in verse 19.
00:53:32.27\00:53:34.50
And I said,
this is Paul talking,
00:53:36.18\00:53:37.59
and I said Lord, they
know that I imprisoned,
00:53:37.71\00:53:40.73
and beat in every synagogue
them that believed on thee.
00:53:40.74\00:53:45.29
Verse 20, And when the blood
of thy martyr Stephen was shed,
00:53:46.58\00:53:51.13
I also was standing by,
and consenting unto his death,
00:53:51.85\00:53:56.83
and kept the raiment
of them that slew him.
00:53:57.42\00:53:59.88
And he said to me
notice what Jesus says
00:54:01.15\00:54:04.12
to Paul right
here. And he said to me,
00:54:04.13\00:54:07.94
depart, for I will send the
far hits on to the gentiles.
00:54:08.56\00:54:14.12
So, it's at this major
persecution of the church,
00:54:15.86\00:54:20.49
when Stephen is
stoned, right after that Saul
00:54:20.84\00:54:25.58
goes through his conversion
and then he become Paul,
00:54:25.59\00:54:29.25
not the adversary of Christians
00:54:31.08\00:54:33.08
but the advocate for Christians.
00:54:33.72\00:54:36.53
And Jesus sends
him to the gentiles
00:54:38.22\00:54:41.80
and my friend
that's good news for us,
00:54:42.36\00:54:44.88
because Jesus sent Paul
to bring the gospel to us.
00:54:46.17\00:54:51.66
Now how many of you in this room
00:54:53.69\00:54:55.11
are literal by blood Jews?
00:54:55.68\00:54:59.07
I don't see any hands going up.
00:55:01.30\00:55:03.24
That 70 week
time period was given
00:55:05.17\00:55:07.99
to the Jewish nations
very clear in Daniel 9:24.
00:55:08.00\00:55:12.11
that 70 week time
period was cut off
00:55:12.53\00:55:15.28
for Daniel and
Daniel's people and his city.
00:55:16.17\00:55:19.16
But, they didn't do
it, but Jesus came along
00:55:19.81\00:55:24.33
and He set everything straight.
00:55:24.91\00:55:26.72
Jesus prophesied
about his anointing
00:55:27.32\00:55:32.53
and he was anointed on time.
00:55:33.21\00:55:35.81
He was baptized on
time, he died on time.
00:55:37.07\00:55:43.12
I wonder, if you will allow
Him to be on time in your life.
00:55:44.65\00:55:51.16
The Bible says in
Second Corinthians,
00:55:53.90\00:55:56.98
chapter 6 in verse 2,
00:55:56.99\00:55:58.76
that today is
the day of salvation
00:55:59.09\00:56:02.95
now is the accepted time.
Jesus is the promised Messiah,
00:56:03.45\00:56:10.93
483 prophetic
days, 69 prophetic weeks,
00:56:11.94\00:56:17.80
483 literal
years after the command
00:56:18.20\00:56:21.09
to restore and build Jerusalem,
Jesus comes on the scene.
00:56:21.10\00:56:24.36
He is anointed his
baptism, his ministry begins
00:56:25.03\00:56:29.78
three-and-half
years into his ministry,
00:56:30.07\00:56:33.80
Jesus is cut off for our sins.
00:56:34.66\00:56:38.00
Jesus is cut off for your sins;
00:56:39.09\00:56:42.10
Jesus is cut off
for you not for himself.
00:56:42.96\00:56:47.45
Jesus is cut off and
then he confirms the covenant
00:56:50.29\00:56:52.90
with many for that
last and final week
00:56:52.91\00:56:56.05
or that last and
final three-half-years
00:56:56.86\00:56:59.32
of the last week.
And he confirms that
00:56:59.33\00:57:02.65
covenant with many through
the people that were preaching.
00:57:02.66\00:57:06.17
And Jesus will
use you, my friend.
00:57:08.11\00:57:10.05
He will use you to convert
souls that will be brought
00:57:10.47\00:57:15.59
into his everlasting kingdom.
00:57:15.60\00:57:17.74
Are you ready to
be used by Jesus?
00:57:20.18\00:57:21.89
Was it clear
today that the prophecy
00:57:23.21\00:57:25.30
in Daniel 9 was about
the Messiah, Jesus Christ.
00:57:25.31\00:57:29.25
History confirms
that the Bible is true,
00:57:30.46\00:57:33.38
the Bible is
accurate and Bible prophecy
00:57:33.95\00:57:37.20
focuses on
Jesus Christ, are you?
00:57:37.21\00:57:41.75
