Unlocking Daniel’s 70 Weeks Mystery

1 00:00:00.460 --> 00:00:03.740 Real life presents the Jack Hibbs Podcast with 2 00:00:03.740 --> 00:00:07.119 intention and boldness to proclaim truth, equip the 3 00:00:07.119 --> 00:00:09.040 saints and impact our culture. 4 00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:11.080 So I wanna approach this as I think 5 00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:12.520 we should as big skeptics. 6 00:00:12.940 --> 00:00:14.120 This I know for sure. 7 00:00:14.300 --> 00:00:15.960 We got a prophecy here in front of 8 00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:17.760 us that's given to the prophet Daniel. 9 00:00:18.040 --> 00:00:20.460 And it is 100% true that Israel 10 00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:22.880 in their offense to God did not give 11 00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:25.420 him the Sabbaths of worship that they owed 12 00:00:25.420 --> 00:00:25.680 him. 13 00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:28.100 And so God says, I put those together 14 00:00:28.100 --> 00:00:29.840 and you owe me 490 years. 15 00:00:30.040 --> 00:00:31.119 This is how I want payment. 16 00:00:31.439 --> 00:00:33.300 Payment is, I want you to pay attention. 17 00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:34.640 That's how you're gonna pay. 18 00:00:34.900 --> 00:00:36.840 You're gonna pay attention and I'm

00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:07.180 has to say to you. 31 00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:09.080 Here is Jack Hibbs. 32 00:01:10.300 --> 00:01:12.140 Hey everybody, we are gonna be looking at 33 00:01:12.140 --> 00:01:17.560 one of the single most greatest prophecies given 34 00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:21.200 in the Bible that is so often overlooked. 35 00:01:21.340 --> 00:01:23.520 In fact, I don't know why except, but 36 00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:30.640 either satanic attack or just sheer human laziness, 37 00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.800 maybe it's a combo as to why in 38 00:01:33.800 --> 00:01:37.680 the world do we not hold dear more 39 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:45.000 often and make louder prophecies like Genesis 315, 40 00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:49.340 where the Messiah is promised to come through 41 00:01:49.340 --> 00:01:51.540 that of a virgin woman. 42 00:01:51.540 --> 00:01:55.980 Genesis 315, why do we not publish more 43 00:01:55.980 --> 00:02:02.400 frequently, more often, louder prophecies like Proverbs 30 44 00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:07.060 verse four, where there the Bible announces that 45 00:02:07.060 --> 00:02:13.040 the creator God, who is singularly God himself, 46 00:02:14.650 --> 00:02:19.540 that he would have a son and that 47 00:02:19.540 --> 00:02:21.340 we are to know the name of his 48 00:02:21.340 --> 00:02:21.740 son. 49 00:02:22.380 --> 00:02:24.640 Proverbs 30 verse four, Old Testament. 50 00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:28.520 These are prophecies, why do we not know 51 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:28.820 them? 52 00:02:28.920 --> 00:02:31.520 Why are they not, for example, one of 53 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:34.540 the greatest lessons you'll learn in going to 54 00:02:34.540 --> 00:02:39.500 seminary or going to Bible college or whatever, 55 00:02:39.940 --> 00:02:42.640 or church for that matter, for church. 56 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.740 There are just overwhelming prophecies like Psalm chapter 57 00:02:46.740 --> 00:02:49.860 two, that again tells you that God has 58 00:02:49.860 --> 00:02:52.440 a son and you better kiss him. 59 00:02:52.620 --> 00:02:56.300 The word Greek would be proskuneo, worship him. 60 00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.880 Because if you don't, if you don't acknowledge 61 00:02:59.880 --> 00:03:04.100 him, that you can garnish the wrath of 62 00:03:04.100 --> 00:03:07.400 almighty God when the anger of his son 63 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.000 is kindled, oh, but a little. 64 00:03:09.860 --> 00:03:12.220 Psalm two, why do we not have these 65 00:03:12.220 --> 00:03:14.640 as just as well known as John 3 66 00:03:14.640 --> 00:03:15.040 .16? 67 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:17.640 For the life of me, I don't understand. 68 00:03:17.780 --> 00:03:19.540 I gotta tell you, I am so grateful 69 00:03:20.010 --> 00:03:22.500 that I grew up at a church that 70 00:03:22.500 --> 00:03:27.660 taught the entire Bible chapter by chapter, verse 71 00:03:27.660 --> 00:03:32.320 by verse, book by book, and knew that 72 00:03:32.320 --> 00:03:39.760 Bible prophecy was the foundational comfort to all 73 00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:42.320 those who would study the word of God. 74 00:03:42.380 --> 00:03:45.820 Because if God does not keep his prophetic 75 00:03:45.820 --> 00:03:51.340 promises, then he's not God, okay? 76 00:03:52.440 --> 00:03:55.560 If God doesn't keep his word, he's not 77 00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:56.780 a God to be worshiped. 78 00:03:57.480 --> 00:03:59.640 If the God of this book, the Bible, 79 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.960 fails in any part, then I have no 80 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:06.900 God and I have no salvation, I have 81 00:04:06.900 --> 00:04:07.480 no savior. 82 00:04:09.300 --> 00:04:15.839 If God were to say that I've told 83 00:04:15.839 --> 00:04:19.700 you about these things in advance, prophecy, so 84 00:04:19.700 --> 00:04:22.320 that when they do happen, you might believe 85 00:04:22.320 --> 00:04:26.660 that I'm he, John 14.29, as well 86 00:04:26.660 --> 00:04:27.720 as many other scriptures. 87 00:04:28.860 --> 00:04:31.420 If he doesn't come true on that end, 88 00:04:32.080 --> 00:04:32.980 then he's worthless. 89 00:04:33.580 --> 00:04:35.260 I want nothing to do with him. 90 00:04:36.100 --> 00:04:39.220 He can't save me, he can't save you. 91 00:04:40.420 --> 00:04:43.780 And so here's my sarcastic conclusion on this 92 00:04:43.780 --> 00:04:44.680 before we dive in. 93 00:04:45.820 --> 00:04:47.940 If you don't understand that, if you don't 94 00:04:47.940 --> 00:04:53.460 believe that, then that explains why your walk 95 00:04:53.460 --> 00:04:57.360 might be so pathetically weak and you are 96 00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:01.740 so prone to fear and intimidation when you 97 00:05:01.740 --> 00:05:04.140 realize that the God that you claim to 98 00:05:04.140 --> 00:05:06.900 believe in really ain't worth a bucket of 99 00:05:06.900 --> 00:05:09.840 beans because he can't keep his promises. 100 00:05:10.820 --> 00:05:12.940 If the God of the Bible who claims 101 00:05:12.940 --> 00:05:16.480 to be prophetic is not, then you don't 102 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:16.960 have anything. 103 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:20.340 I don't know what you're doing, but I 104 00:05:20.340 --> 00:05:22.880 tell you what, my friend, he is the 105 00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:23.780 prophetic God. 106 00:05:24.960 --> 00:05:26.680 That's why we know that he's not the 107 00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.680 God of Hinduism, he's not the God of 108 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.160 Buddhism, he's not the God of the cults, 109 00:05:33.400 --> 00:05:36.200 he's not the God of man-made Judaism, 110 00:05:38.450 --> 00:05:41.010 that is Judaism when it focuses on the 111 00:05:41.010 --> 00:05:43.470 traditions of man rather than the teachings of 112 00:05:43.470 --> 00:05:44.470 God and the word of God. 113 00:05:45.450 --> 00:05:47.310 He's not the God of Islam, that's for 114 00:05:47.310 --> 00:05:47.570 sure. 115 00:05:47.770 --> 00:05:49.010 He is not that God. 116 00:05:49.870 --> 00:05:51.270 The God of the Bible is the God 117 00:05:51.270 --> 00:05:53.430 of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and even his 118 00:05:53.430 --> 00:05:56.710 promises to those three patriarchs is all based 119 00:05:56.710 --> 00:05:57.590 upon prophecy. 120 00:05:58.770 --> 00:06:00.770 So today we're gonna be looking, and granted, 121 00:06:00.910 --> 00:06:03.750 I confess upfront, listen to me, I confess 122 00:06:03.750 --> 00:06:06.290 upfront and out loud, our time is limited, 123 00:06:06.630 --> 00:06:09.190 I'm gonna scratch the surface, but I hope 124 00:06:09.190 --> 00:06:10.870 it provokes you to deeper study. 125 00:06:12.290 --> 00:06:14.410 We are gonna be looking at what I 126 00:06:14.410 --> 00:06:19.190 love, what John Wolvard, the great, great eschatology 127 00:06:19.190 --> 00:06:24.810 theologian from Dallas Theological Seminary who's now in 128 00:06:24.810 --> 00:06:25.710 glory with Jesus. 129 00:06:25.910 --> 00:06:28.510 I had an opportunity to not only host 130 00:06:28.510 --> 00:06:31.290 him here at our church several times, but 131 00:06:31.290 --> 00:06:33.070 to have dinner with him, to be in 132 00:06:33.070 --> 00:06:35.870 his home with he and his wife, Geraldine. 133 00:06:36.310 --> 00:06:40.590 I knew him and he's just remarkable, Dr. 134 00:06:40.710 --> 00:06:41.790 John Wolvard. 135 00:06:42.490 --> 00:06:45.610 Dr. John Wolvard says of Daniel chapter nine, 136 00:06:46.750 --> 00:06:49.670 verses 24 to 27, he called it the 137 00:06:49.670 --> 00:06:52.990 holy of holies of old Bible prophecy. 138 00:06:53.230 --> 00:06:56.490 He said it is the most holy, the 139 00:06:56.490 --> 00:07:02.690 most important Bible prophecy of them all because 140 00:07:02.690 --> 00:07:04.950 it cannot be refuted. 141 00:07:06.530 --> 00:07:10.450 In fact, it's my understanding from studying Daniel 142 00:07:10.450 --> 00:07:14.410 chapter nine, verses 24 to 27 that has 143 00:07:14.410 --> 00:07:17.330 led me to believe and to say publicly 144 00:07:18.090 --> 00:07:22.490 that I no longer tolerate or allow someone 145 00:07:22.490 --> 00:07:24.410 to say that you cannot prove the existence 146 00:07:24.410 --> 00:07:24.970 of God. 147 00:07:25.670 --> 00:07:28.050 I don't, I think that's a false statement. 148 00:07:28.050 --> 00:07:29.350 I think that's wrong. 149 00:07:29.570 --> 00:07:32.230 You can prove the existence of God. 150 00:07:33.790 --> 00:07:37.730 Daniel chapter nine, verses 24 to 27 proves 151 00:07:37.730 --> 00:07:38.070 that. 152 00:07:38.670 --> 00:07:40.310 So hang on, hang on. 153 00:07:40.730 --> 00:07:42.590 It's not gonna sound like it at first, 154 00:07:42.930 --> 00:07:44.890 but I'm gonna ask you to listen carefully 155 00:07:45.410 --> 00:07:48.270 as we unpack the holy of holies of 156 00:07:48.270 --> 00:07:49.030 Bible prophecy. 157 00:07:50.210 --> 00:07:53.030 Daniel chapter nine, verse 24. 158 00:07:53.950 --> 00:07:57.210 70 weeks are determined for your people. 159 00:07:57.970 --> 00:08:02.390 The angelic manifestation, the angelic appearance is speaking 160 00:08:02.390 --> 00:08:02.990 to Daniel. 161 00:08:03.870 --> 00:08:09.330 70 weeks are determined for your people and 162 00:08:09.330 --> 00:08:13.190 for your holy city to finish the transgression, 163 00:08:13.710 --> 00:08:16.110 to make an end of sins, to make 164 00:08:16.110 --> 00:08:19.770 reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, 165 00:08:19.950 --> 00:08:23.510 to seal up vision and prophecy and to 166 00:08:23.510 --> 00:08:25.030 anoint the most holy. 167 00:08:26.030 --> 00:08:29.050 Know therefore and understand that from the going 168 00:08:29.050 --> 00:08:33.309 forth of the command to restore and rebuild 169 00:08:33.309 --> 00:08:38.010 Jerusalem until the coming of the Messiah, the 170 00:08:38.010 --> 00:08:44.530 Prince, there shall be seven weeks and, or 171 00:08:44.530 --> 00:08:47.650 plus sign, 62 weeks. 172 00:08:48.650 --> 00:08:52.790 The street shall be built again and the 173 00:08:52.790 --> 00:08:56.190 wall even in troublesome times. 174 00:08:57.070 --> 00:09:02.190 And after the 62 weeks, this is key, 175 00:09:03.130 --> 00:09:07.450 after the 62 weeks, the segment of the 176 00:09:07.450 --> 00:09:11.470 62 weeks, the Messiah shall be cut off, 177 00:09:12.110 --> 00:09:13.770 but not for himself. 178 00:09:14.370 --> 00:09:17.630 And the people of the Prince who is 179 00:09:17.630 --> 00:09:21.270 to come shall destroy the city and the 180 00:09:21.270 --> 00:09:21.850 sanctuary. 181 00:09:22.470 --> 00:09:24.110 The end of it shall be with a 182 00:09:24.110 --> 00:09:28.670 flood and till the end of the war, 183 00:09:28.790 --> 00:09:30.190 desolations are determined. 184 00:09:30.930 --> 00:09:35.270 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many 185 00:09:35.270 --> 00:09:36.970 for one week. 186 00:09:37.610 --> 00:09:40.010 And in the midst of the week, in 187 00:09:40.010 --> 00:09:41.830 the middle of the week, he shall bring 188 00:09:41.830 --> 00:09:45.490 an end to sacrifice and offering and on 189 00:09:45.490 --> 00:09:48.910 the wing of abomination shall be one who 190 00:09:48.910 --> 00:09:53.370 makes desolate even until the consummation, which is 191 00:09:53.370 --> 00:09:57.250 determined, is poured out on the desolate. 192 00:09:59.110 --> 00:10:00.590 You might say, Jack, what in the world 193 00:10:00.590 --> 00:10:01.310 is going on? 194 00:10:01.430 --> 00:10:02.750 This is what's going on. 195 00:10:03.070 --> 00:10:08.010 God says to the prophet Daniel, due to 196 00:10:08.010 --> 00:10:17.290 Israel's disobedience in honoring the Sabbath for which 197 00:10:17.290 --> 00:10:20.410 I commanded them, they owe me. 198 00:10:20.430 --> 00:10:25.330 They owe me 490 years because they did 199 00:10:25.330 --> 00:10:26.450 not honor me. 200 00:10:27.270 --> 00:10:31.350 I will extract this out of them. 201 00:10:32.150 --> 00:10:36.790 They owe me 490 very specific years. 202 00:10:36.910 --> 00:10:39.350 Friends, just listen, mark that down. 203 00:10:41.230 --> 00:10:46.030 Israel, it says Israel, Daniel's holy people and 204 00:10:46.030 --> 00:10:51.510 Daniel's holy city, that's Jerusalem, that's Israel. 205 00:10:53.470 --> 00:10:55.950 490, say wait, weeks, you said weeks. 206 00:10:56.150 --> 00:10:57.410 Yes, don't let that bother you. 207 00:10:57.870 --> 00:11:00.050 In the English, it is the word weeks, 208 00:11:00.670 --> 00:11:04.570 but we know this, it's Hepstead, meaning we 209 00:11:04.570 --> 00:11:06.290 know years. 210 00:11:06.670 --> 00:11:09.930 It's a cluster of, and there's several clusters. 211 00:11:10.590 --> 00:11:12.710 And let me point out to you what 212 00:11:12.710 --> 00:11:13.550 we mean by that. 213 00:11:14.190 --> 00:11:18.810 Number one is this, that when he says 214 00:11:18.810 --> 00:11:26.650 490 in Daniel chapter nine, verse 24, write 215 00:11:26.650 --> 00:11:30.890 down on a piece of paper 490, and 216 00:11:30.890 --> 00:11:32.330 just trust me on this for a moment. 217 00:11:32.970 --> 00:11:34.510 Trust me, but don't trust me. 218 00:11:34.830 --> 00:11:36.930 I always hate saying trust me because you 219 00:11:36.930 --> 00:11:39.190 shouldn't trust anybody but God, right? 220 00:11:39.330 --> 00:11:44.250 But go find out if this is true 221 00:11:44.250 --> 00:11:44.650 or not. 222 00:11:45.210 --> 00:11:48.190 The 490, or what is known here as 223 00:11:48.190 --> 00:11:53.710 70 weeks, 70 times seven is 490. 224 00:11:54.470 --> 00:11:55.410 Just write that down. 225 00:11:55.890 --> 00:12:00.350 God says, you guys have disobeyed me. 226 00:12:01.290 --> 00:12:04.750 You owe me 490 years, and here's how 227 00:12:04.750 --> 00:12:05.970 I'm gonna get it out of you. 228 00:12:07.130 --> 00:12:10.890 70 weeks are determined for your people. 229 00:12:12.230 --> 00:12:13.350 So Daniel was a Jew. 230 00:12:13.890 --> 00:12:15.430 Daniel was from Israel. 231 00:12:16.090 --> 00:12:17.390 Who's his people? 232 00:12:18.930 --> 00:12:19.510 The Jew. 233 00:12:19.920 --> 00:12:23.110 And for your holy city, what's Daniel's holy 234 00:12:23.110 --> 00:12:23.550 city? 235 00:12:24.690 --> 00:12:25.170 Jerusalem. 236 00:12:26.250 --> 00:12:28.510 To finish the transgression, he gives the list 237 00:12:28.510 --> 00:12:30.490 of things. 238 00:12:30.790 --> 00:12:31.570 Again, mark it down. 239 00:12:31.630 --> 00:12:32.130 Don't believe me. 240 00:12:32.350 --> 00:12:35.270 He gives a list of things that all 241 00:12:35.270 --> 00:12:39.410 have to do with the anointed one, the 242 00:12:39.410 --> 00:12:43.810 Messiah, the acts of God. 243 00:12:44.810 --> 00:12:48.110 No man, God, no man can do this. 244 00:12:48.630 --> 00:12:54.090 No man, no rabbi, no priest, no pope, 245 00:12:54.250 --> 00:12:58.490 no evangelist, no human can finish the transgressions, 246 00:12:59.170 --> 00:13:00.650 can make an end of sins. 247 00:13:00.810 --> 00:13:01.730 Are you tracking with me? 248 00:13:02.010 --> 00:13:05.870 To make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in 249 00:13:05.870 --> 00:13:07.470 everlasting righteousness. 250 00:13:07.710 --> 00:13:09.830 Nobody can do this but the anointed one. 251 00:13:10.590 --> 00:13:12.790 To seal up vision and prophecy. 252 00:13:13.790 --> 00:13:14.870 Wow, side note. 253 00:13:15.550 --> 00:13:18.490 Revelation 19 verse 10 says Jesus Christ is 254 00:13:18.490 --> 00:13:20.230 the spirit of prophecy. 255 00:13:20.790 --> 00:13:21.470 Isn't that awesome? 256 00:13:22.590 --> 00:13:24.630 And to anoint the most holy. 257 00:13:24.890 --> 00:13:27.090 That's to bless the Father, to bless God. 258 00:13:28.730 --> 00:13:31.450 Verse 25, Daniel chapter nine. 259 00:13:32.810 --> 00:13:35.030 Know therefore, can you allow me to do 260 00:13:35.030 --> 00:13:35.310 this? 261 00:13:35.390 --> 00:13:36.850 I'm gonna make it conversational. 262 00:13:38.410 --> 00:13:41.870 Know therefore and understand, Daniel, I'm adding that, 263 00:13:41.870 --> 00:13:44.550 that from the going forth of the command 264 00:13:45.820 --> 00:13:49.830 to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Messiah, 265 00:13:49.970 --> 00:13:54.650 the Prince, there shall be seven weeks, seven 266 00:13:54.650 --> 00:14:01.590 times seven, and another calculation, 62 times seven. 267 00:14:02.110 --> 00:14:02.650 Pause right there. 268 00:14:04.410 --> 00:14:06.850 Know therefore and understand that from the going 269 00:14:06.850 --> 00:14:09.170 forth of the commandment, what in the world 270 00:14:09.170 --> 00:14:09.710 is that? 271 00:14:11.030 --> 00:14:13.470 Daniel knows what this is. 272 00:14:15.760 --> 00:14:20.420 Back in the days of Nehemiah, in the 273 00:14:20.420 --> 00:14:29.780 Bible, Nehemiah, King Artaxerxes saw Nehemiah's face and 274 00:14:29.780 --> 00:14:33.080 Artaxerxes says, Nehemiah, why are you so sad? 275 00:14:34.020 --> 00:14:36.180 And he said, how can I, I'm sorry, 276 00:14:36.260 --> 00:14:38.660 because you know, as a cupbearer, you cannot 277 00:14:38.660 --> 00:14:40.480 be sad in the presence of the king. 278 00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:43.160 It was actually punishable by death. 279 00:14:44.800 --> 00:14:46.040 Nehemiah didn't even care, I guess. 280 00:14:46.140 --> 00:14:48.420 He's just so, he's so dejected. 281 00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:51.760 And Nehemiah, in the book of Nehemiah, he 282 00:14:51.760 --> 00:14:53.340 says, how can I be glad? 283 00:14:54.020 --> 00:14:56.640 I'm in exile, but that's not the big 284 00:14:56.640 --> 00:14:57.020 problem. 285 00:14:57.680 --> 00:15:00.940 The big problem that worries my heart is 286 00:15:00.940 --> 00:15:06.120 that my country, my city, my temple is 287 00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:08.640 destroyed back in Jerusalem. 288 00:15:09.500 --> 00:15:10.460 It's trashed. 289 00:15:11.780 --> 00:15:13.600 And you read the book of Nehemiah and 290 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:18.400 Artaxerxes is moved with compassion and says, I'm 291 00:15:18.400 --> 00:15:19.980 gonna take care of this. 292 00:15:20.020 --> 00:15:22.000 You just have to promise me something, Nehemiah. 293 00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:23.640 You have to promise me that when I 294 00:15:23.640 --> 00:15:27.820 give you these passports and funding and permits, 295 00:15:28.160 --> 00:15:30.640 when you leave me, you have to promise 296 00:15:30.640 --> 00:15:32.100 me that you'll come back. 297 00:15:32.620 --> 00:15:35.180 Isn't that a beautiful thing that this pagan 298 00:15:35.180 --> 00:15:39.460 Gentile king would say to Nehemiah, Nehemiah, I 299 00:15:39.460 --> 00:15:41.300 can't stand to see you so sad. 300 00:15:42.140 --> 00:15:46.040 I'm gonna issue this decree and I'm going 301 00:15:46.040 --> 00:15:50.360 to give you the funding, the permission, the 302 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:55.680 permits to travel through the empire and make 303 00:15:55.680 --> 00:15:58.240 it all the way back to Jerusalem so 304 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.960 you can survey what's going on and you 305 00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:03.740 can get a work party going. 306 00:16:03.740 --> 00:16:06.000 So guess what? 307 00:16:06.260 --> 00:16:06.860 Write it down. 308 00:16:08.920 --> 00:16:14.000 We know through archeological antiquity that Nehemiah got 309 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:22.180 his paperwork signed on March 14th, 445 BC, 310 00:16:24.730 --> 00:16:29.010 445 BC. 311 00:16:30.070 --> 00:16:35.150 March 14th, 445 BC. 312 00:16:35.910 --> 00:16:40.450 King Artaxerxes gives Nehemiah the thumbs up to 313 00:16:40.450 --> 00:16:43.970 go back and to begin the restoration of 314 00:16:43.970 --> 00:16:48.090 the streets and of the walls of Jerusalem 315 00:16:48.090 --> 00:16:50.730 in the land of Israel. 316 00:16:52.290 --> 00:16:53.750 Watch how this works out. 317 00:16:53.970 --> 00:16:56.650 You've got 490 written down on your piece 318 00:16:56.650 --> 00:16:57.110 of paper. 319 00:16:57.330 --> 00:17:01.010 You've got 490 and you've got 445 BC, 320 00:17:01.270 --> 00:17:03.690 which is the year, which was issued on 321 00:17:03.690 --> 00:17:05.530 March 14th, 445 BC. 322 00:17:05.810 --> 00:17:07.970 That's the day the permit was issued, okay? 323 00:17:10.230 --> 00:17:11.970 And so he says, know therefore and understand 324 00:17:11.970 --> 00:17:13.630 that from the going forth of the command 325 00:17:13.630 --> 00:17:18.109 to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until, wow, listen, 326 00:17:18.550 --> 00:17:21.329 until the Messiah, the Prince. 327 00:17:21.710 --> 00:17:24.510 To my Jewish friends, I'm reading Daniel chapter 328 00:17:24.510 --> 00:17:25.609 nine, verse 25. 329 00:17:26.050 --> 00:17:30.150 In your Hebrew Bible, it is the Messiah, 330 00:17:30.710 --> 00:17:31.670 the anointed one. 331 00:17:34.270 --> 00:17:36.450 Jews, listen, I'm talking to you. 332 00:17:37.650 --> 00:17:42.370 Daniel 9, 24 says the Messiah is coming 333 00:17:42.370 --> 00:17:44.250 to Jerusalem. 334 00:17:49.560 --> 00:17:50.920 Book of Daniel, do you ever read the 335 00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:51.420 Book of Daniel? 336 00:17:51.620 --> 00:17:52.400 Of course you don't. 337 00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:54.680 You've been told not to read it. 338 00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:56.560 Why? 339 00:17:59.660 --> 00:18:01.280 I know for some of you right now, 340 00:18:01.340 --> 00:18:02.860 some of you who are Jewish, you're watching 341 00:18:02.860 --> 00:18:03.540 me right now. 342 00:18:04.600 --> 00:18:06.640 You can hear your rabbi saying, this is 343 00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:07.560 the forbidden scriptures. 344 00:18:08.020 --> 00:18:08.700 Don't read them. 345 00:18:08.760 --> 00:18:09.720 You're not allowed to read them. 346 00:18:10.220 --> 00:18:12.620 I'm asking you to draw your curtains, shut 347 00:18:12.620 --> 00:18:15.820 the shades, and just hang on with this 348 00:18:15.820 --> 00:18:16.300 for a moment. 349 00:18:17.300 --> 00:18:19.360 Look, if a Gentile can dive into the 350 00:18:19.360 --> 00:18:21.380 Hebrew scriptures and let them speak for themselves, 351 00:18:22.060 --> 00:18:24.520 certainly a Jew can let the Hebrew scriptures 352 00:18:24.520 --> 00:18:25.500 speak for themselves. 353 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:31.140 So we've got a permission to go back 354 00:18:31.140 --> 00:18:36.130 and restore Jerusalem until the coming of the 355 00:18:36.130 --> 00:18:36.570 Messiah. 356 00:18:36.770 --> 00:18:38.630 We're gonna hear something about time, and here 357 00:18:38.630 --> 00:18:39.050 it is. 358 00:18:39.650 --> 00:18:48.510 There shall be seven weeks, seven times seven 359 00:18:48.510 --> 00:18:49.650 is 49. 360 00:18:52.100 --> 00:18:54.660 So we've got 490, 70 times seven. 361 00:18:54.940 --> 00:18:58.860 Now we have seven times seven is 490. 362 00:19:00.120 --> 00:19:00.920 Watch this. 363 00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:05.420 The streets shall be built again, and the 364 00:19:05.420 --> 00:19:08.320 wall even in troublesome times. 365 00:19:10.300 --> 00:19:12.000 That's exactly what Nehemiah did. 366 00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:13.980 Read the book of Nehemiah. 367 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:17.540 They had a trowel in one hand and 368 00:19:17.540 --> 00:19:19.640 a sword in the other hand. 369 00:19:20.980 --> 00:19:28.760 And after the 62 weeks, 62 times seven 370 00:19:28.760 --> 00:19:38.500 is 62 times seven equals 434 371 00:19:38.500 --> 00:19:39.760 years. 372 00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:43.120 Write that out. 373 00:19:46.260 --> 00:19:47.680 Started out with 490. 374 00:19:48.540 --> 00:19:51.140 490 are owed to me, God says. 375 00:19:51.740 --> 00:19:53.420 Here's how it's gonna unfold. 376 00:19:53.800 --> 00:19:57.480 Number one, in 49 years, there's gonna be 377 00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:00.500 a 49-year period of time that the 378 00:20:00.500 --> 00:20:04.320 streets, the walls of the city, and all 379 00:20:04.320 --> 00:20:05.200 will be rebuilt. 380 00:20:07.510 --> 00:20:12.690 In the 490 cluster, when you back away 381 00:20:12.690 --> 00:20:17.110 the 49 and you look at the 62 382 00:20:17.110 --> 00:20:21.570 times seven, that brings you to the 434 383 00:20:21.570 --> 00:20:22.230 year. 384 00:20:23.110 --> 00:20:24.170 What's gonna happen there? 385 00:20:25.650 --> 00:20:30.250 And after the 62 weeks, watch this, it 386 00:20:30.250 --> 00:20:32.430 says the Messiah shall be cut off. 387 00:20:33.430 --> 00:20:34.150 What? 388 00:20:34.150 --> 00:20:34.370 What? 389 00:20:35.330 --> 00:20:36.550 Wait a minute. 390 00:20:40.350 --> 00:20:48.050 434 years, that's the 62 weeks, plus the 391 00:20:48.050 --> 00:20:54.010 49, that's 483 years. 392 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:00.320 What happens in the 483rd year? 393 00:21:01.180 --> 00:21:08.010 From March 14th, 445 BC, God says, Israel 394 00:21:08.010 --> 00:21:09.950 owes me 490 years. 395 00:21:10.810 --> 00:21:13.030 Here's how it's gonna shake out. 396 00:21:15.520 --> 00:21:23.360 49 events are gonna take place, and then 397 00:21:23.360 --> 00:21:25.840 there's gonna be a time period of 62 398 00:21:25.840 --> 00:21:30.280 times seven, that's 434 years. 399 00:21:32.020 --> 00:21:34.540 When you take the 430 and add the 400 00:21:34.540 --> 00:21:36.900 49, you come out to 483. 401 00:21:38.340 --> 00:21:39.800 What about that? 402 00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:40.480 Who cares? 403 00:21:43.490 --> 00:21:47.270 In the 483rd year, the Messiah shall be 404 00:21:47.270 --> 00:21:47.970 cut off. 405 00:21:49.970 --> 00:21:57.830 Forgive my Hebrew, but the Messiah, HaMashiach, shall 406 00:21:57.830 --> 00:21:58.830 be cut off. 407 00:22:00.030 --> 00:22:03.230 He shall be the Messiah of Israel. 408 00:22:04.910 --> 00:22:08.670 Excuse me, the anointed one will be killed 409 00:22:09.170 --> 00:22:11.350 for committing a capital offense. 410 00:22:11.530 --> 00:22:12.590 That's what it means. 411 00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:19.160 Why would the Messiah of Israel be charged 412 00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:20.440 with a capital offense? 413 00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:24.380 Has anything ever happened in history? 414 00:22:25.260 --> 00:22:26.380 Why would that happen? 415 00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:29.540 Well, first of all, the why is in 416 00:22:29.540 --> 00:22:29.980 the Bible. 417 00:22:31.380 --> 00:22:33.140 Has it ever happened in history? 418 00:22:33.140 --> 00:22:36.520 By the way, can I just float this 419 00:22:36.520 --> 00:22:37.480 out to you for a moment? 420 00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:43.240 Do you know of any Messiah of Israel 421 00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:52.680 who was somehow arrested for committing a capital 422 00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:53.180 offense? 423 00:22:53.460 --> 00:22:58.160 A capital offense is that which is warranting 424 00:22:58.160 --> 00:22:58.620 death. 425 00:22:59.140 --> 00:22:59.440 Death. 426 00:23:02.790 --> 00:23:09.050 What could a Jewish Messiah do to have 427 00:23:09.050 --> 00:23:13.810 somebody issue a decree, you're guilty of a 428 00:23:13.810 --> 00:23:15.530 capital offense, you must die? 429 00:23:19.840 --> 00:23:21.320 Wow, I mean, we need to think this 430 00:23:21.320 --> 00:23:21.580 through. 431 00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:25.840 The Messiah would not commit a crime. 432 00:23:27.280 --> 00:23:32.310 The Messiah is perfect, but the Bible says 433 00:23:32.310 --> 00:23:35.510 the Messiah is gonna be killed for committing 434 00:23:35.510 --> 00:23:36.530 a capital offense. 435 00:23:39.560 --> 00:23:40.640 That's puzzling. 436 00:23:43.500 --> 00:23:45.220 Well, let's just keep reading, you know? 437 00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:49.740 The Messiah shall be killed for committing a 438 00:23:49.740 --> 00:23:50.660 capital offense. 439 00:23:51.020 --> 00:23:51.820 Oh, I see. 440 00:23:52.760 --> 00:23:54.320 But not for himself. 441 00:23:56.210 --> 00:23:59.950 The Messiah is going to die, but he's 442 00:23:59.950 --> 00:24:02.690 not gonna be guilty of the crime for 443 00:24:02.690 --> 00:24:03.650 which he's charged. 444 00:24:04.950 --> 00:24:06.870 He's not gonna die for himself. 445 00:24:08.190 --> 00:24:11.150 The book of Daniel chapter nine, verse 26 446 00:24:11.150 --> 00:24:13.290 says the Messiah is gonna die for others 447 00:24:15.420 --> 00:24:17.520 because they committed a capital offense. 448 00:24:20.430 --> 00:24:23.150 And the people of the prince who is 449 00:24:23.150 --> 00:24:23.850 to come. 450 00:24:24.110 --> 00:24:25.630 By the way, that's one of the names 451 00:24:26.270 --> 00:24:31.110 referred to or given in the scriptures as 452 00:24:31.110 --> 00:24:35.270 the AntiChrist, the coming prince. 453 00:24:37.950 --> 00:24:38.590 Interesting. 454 00:24:40.390 --> 00:24:44.290 And the people of the prince who is 455 00:24:44.290 --> 00:24:48.290 to come shall destroy the city that is 456 00:24:48.290 --> 00:24:50.250 Jerusalem and the sanctuary. 457 00:24:50.670 --> 00:24:51.850 That's temple talk. 458 00:24:53.430 --> 00:24:54.050 Wow. 459 00:24:56.950 --> 00:25:01.190 The people's prince will destroy the city and 460 00:25:01.190 --> 00:25:01.930 the sanctuary. 461 00:25:02.450 --> 00:25:04.050 The end of it shall be with the 462 00:25:04.050 --> 00:25:05.830 flood, with armies. 463 00:25:08.790 --> 00:25:11.890 Until the end of the war, desolations are 464 00:25:11.890 --> 00:25:12.390 determined. 465 00:25:13.310 --> 00:25:18.370 Then he, the prince, the prince of the 466 00:25:18.370 --> 00:25:21.350 people, not the prince of God, not the 467 00:25:21.350 --> 00:25:22.250 prince of peace. 468 00:25:22.990 --> 00:25:25.690 Verse 27, the prince of the people who 469 00:25:25.690 --> 00:25:28.670 is to come shall confirm. 470 00:25:29.310 --> 00:25:34.990 The word confirm is shall recognize, shall enter 471 00:25:34.990 --> 00:25:40.510 into an agreement, shall sign the deal, make 472 00:25:40.510 --> 00:25:41.050 a deal. 473 00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:48.000 A covenant with many for one week. 474 00:25:48.660 --> 00:25:50.000 That's the number seven. 475 00:25:51.940 --> 00:25:55.240 Like a, think of a week of years. 476 00:25:59.080 --> 00:26:00.900 One week would be seven years. 477 00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:04.440 Two weeks would be 14 years. 478 00:26:06.700 --> 00:26:10.100 Seven times 70 is 490 years. 479 00:26:11.340 --> 00:26:13.860 Seven times seven is 49 years. 480 00:26:14.080 --> 00:26:17.840 62 times seven is 434 years. 481 00:26:19.850 --> 00:26:22.110 So the Messiah is gonna be cut off, 482 00:26:22.190 --> 00:26:26.390 but not for himself, on the 483rd year 483 00:26:27.760 --> 00:26:30.210 of the prophecy of Daniel chapter nine, verses 484 00:26:30.210 --> 00:26:31.510 24 to 27. 485 00:26:34.220 --> 00:26:38.860 But then there's a remaining seven years where 486 00:26:38.860 --> 00:26:42.660 the prince of the people will come and 487 00:26:42.660 --> 00:26:48.160 he will create an agreement, a covenant with 488 00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:50.740 those who are the holy people or the 489 00:26:50.740 --> 00:26:53.480 people of Israel or the people of the 490 00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:54.280 city Jerusalem. 491 00:26:56.260 --> 00:26:59.040 And he will make it for seven years, 492 00:26:59.580 --> 00:27:02.640 one week, seven years. 493 00:27:05.120 --> 00:27:09.960 483 plus seven goes back to our original 494 00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:11.320 number of 490. 495 00:27:16.390 --> 00:27:17.790 Here's where this gets fun. 496 00:27:18.730 --> 00:27:21.610 What I'm about to share with you, there 497 00:27:21.610 --> 00:27:23.750 was once something called the German School of 498 00:27:23.750 --> 00:27:24.610 Higher Criticism. 499 00:27:24.890 --> 00:27:25.810 They were theologians. 500 00:27:28.760 --> 00:27:32.060 And when Sir Isaac Newton began to unpack 501 00:27:32.060 --> 00:27:36.320 this, and then later on scholars like Sir 502 00:27:36.320 --> 00:27:39.960 Robert Anderson picked up on it and did 503 00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:40.960 more research. 504 00:27:42.760 --> 00:27:44.180 Yes, it's true, by the way. 505 00:27:44.620 --> 00:27:47.900 Sir Isaac Newton covers this in his commentary 506 00:27:47.900 --> 00:27:48.780 in the book of Daniel. 507 00:27:54.500 --> 00:27:56.960 That when God said, you owe me 490, 508 00:27:57.040 --> 00:27:59.000 and then God breaks it up so detailed, 509 00:27:59.100 --> 00:28:01.740 the German School of Higher Criticism said, this 510 00:28:01.740 --> 00:28:02.460 is impossible. 511 00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:05.960 It's so detailed that it could only be 512 00:28:05.960 --> 00:28:07.320 written after the fact. 513 00:28:07.580 --> 00:28:09.800 The book of Daniel must be way, the 514 00:28:09.800 --> 00:28:11.240 book of Daniel must not even belong to 515 00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:12.080 the Old Testament. 516 00:28:12.860 --> 00:28:16.980 It's so exact that it's gotta be falsified. 517 00:28:19.470 --> 00:28:21.410 But then the Dead Sea Scrolls are found 518 00:28:22.550 --> 00:28:23.990 that has all this data. 519 00:28:25.290 --> 00:28:30.290 But what killed them was on May 14th, 520 00:28:30.290 --> 00:28:32.710 1948, when Israel became a nation in one 521 00:28:32.710 --> 00:28:36.490 day, as Isaiah 66 verse eight said they 522 00:28:36.490 --> 00:28:39.310 would, it just destroyed them. 523 00:28:39.710 --> 00:28:41.590 And you have never even heard of them 524 00:28:41.590 --> 00:28:45.390 because they just blew away in the dust 525 00:28:45.390 --> 00:28:45.970 of history. 526 00:28:45.970 --> 00:28:48.410 They're gone because of the book of Daniel. 527 00:28:50.090 --> 00:28:52.970 So I wanna approach this as I think 528 00:28:52.970 --> 00:28:54.430 we should as big skeptics. 529 00:28:55.490 --> 00:28:56.890 This I know for sure. 530 00:28:58.030 --> 00:29:00.050 We got a prophecy here in front of 531 00:29:00.050 --> 00:29:01.870 us that's given to the prophet Daniel. 532 00:29:05.870 --> 00:29:08.590 And it is 100% true that Israel 533 00:29:08.590 --> 00:29:11.450 in their offense to God did not give 534 00:29:11.450 --> 00:29:14.210 him the Sabbaths of worship that they owed 535 00:29:14.210 --> 00:29:14.510 him. 536 00:29:15.250 --> 00:29:17.450 And so God says, I put those together 537 00:29:17.450 --> 00:29:19.210 and you owe me 490 years. 538 00:29:21.530 --> 00:29:23.930 So this is how I want payment. 539 00:29:25.510 --> 00:29:27.910 The payment is, I want you to pay 540 00:29:27.910 --> 00:29:28.390 attention. 541 00:29:29.370 --> 00:29:30.550 That's how you're gonna pay. 542 00:29:32.010 --> 00:29:34.690 You're gonna pay attention and I'm gonna give 543 00:29:34.690 --> 00:29:35.450 you great detail. 544 00:29:35.910 --> 00:29:36.650 You can't miss it. 545 00:29:41.070 --> 00:29:44.570 On March 14th, 445 BC, King Artaxerxes is 546 00:29:44.570 --> 00:29:47.270 gonna give Nehemiah the permission to go back 547 00:29:47.270 --> 00:29:48.830 and restore and rebuild the streets and the 548 00:29:48.830 --> 00:29:52.450 wall of Jerusalem and to begin to rebuild. 549 00:29:54.700 --> 00:29:56.720 That's gonna be 49 years. 550 00:29:57.860 --> 00:30:00.540 There's also gonna be a section of 62 551 00:30:00.540 --> 00:30:03.540 weeks times seven, which is 434 years. 552 00:30:04.980 --> 00:30:06.620 And when you do the math and put 553 00:30:06.620 --> 00:30:09.580 those two equations together, the 49 and the 554 00:30:09.580 --> 00:30:14.880 434, on the 483rd year from March 14th, 555 00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:20.800 445 BC, you will come to April 6th, 556 00:30:20.820 --> 00:30:21.620 32 AD. 557 00:30:24.250 --> 00:30:26.150 Now in your notes, my friends, write this 558 00:30:26.150 --> 00:30:26.470 down. 559 00:30:27.790 --> 00:30:30.010 That's why these scientists did a great job. 560 00:30:31.230 --> 00:30:33.090 Leap years have got to be taken into 561 00:30:33.090 --> 00:30:33.790 consideration. 562 00:30:34.750 --> 00:30:37.090 This is not based on a Gregorian calendar. 563 00:30:37.370 --> 00:30:39.570 This is based on a biblical calendar, a 564 00:30:39.570 --> 00:30:41.610 Bible calendar from Genesis to Revelation. 565 00:30:42.290 --> 00:30:46.710 A year is 360 days, not 365. 566 00:30:47.190 --> 00:30:51.810 From Genesis to Revelation, the years are 360 567 00:30:51.810 --> 00:30:52.550 day years. 568 00:30:52.550 --> 00:30:55.790 When you do the math to the detail, 569 00:30:56.770 --> 00:31:00.390 with all of the accounts that are included 570 00:31:00.390 --> 00:31:04.350 in that, Newton did this, Sir Robert Anderson 571 00:31:04.350 --> 00:31:07.050 did this, others have done this. 572 00:31:07.410 --> 00:31:09.590 They, listen, in fact, some of them disagree 573 00:31:10.360 --> 00:31:13.970 with the exact date, but the beautiful thing 574 00:31:13.970 --> 00:31:15.750 is they're all talking about the exact same 575 00:31:15.750 --> 00:31:19.410 Bible prophecy with the exact same conclusions, but 576 00:31:19.410 --> 00:31:21.770 they bicker about the amount of days. 577 00:31:23.190 --> 00:31:25.210 And that's all based upon what is the 578 00:31:25.210 --> 00:31:26.850 year zero, which is a good question. 579 00:31:27.870 --> 00:31:28.650 This is so cool. 580 00:31:31.920 --> 00:31:34.380 If the Messiah was cut off, but not 581 00:31:34.380 --> 00:31:38.520 for himself, but for others on the 483rd 582 00:31:38.520 --> 00:31:43.740 year of this prophecy, that leaves seven left. 583 00:31:45.280 --> 00:31:48.900 Seven left for whom? 584 00:31:50.580 --> 00:31:53.400 The Holy City and the Jewish people. 585 00:31:55.540 --> 00:31:57.520 Ring a bell, seven years. 586 00:32:00.080 --> 00:32:05.360 The Messiah entered into Jerusalem in Matthew chapter 587 00:32:05.360 --> 00:32:07.440 23 and 24. 588 00:32:08.260 --> 00:32:10.620 I know my Jewish friends don't wanna hear 589 00:32:10.620 --> 00:32:16.560 what Matthew Levi has to say, but that's 590 00:32:16.560 --> 00:32:16.780 okay. 591 00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:19.500 Go ahead and read your Hebrew prophet, Zechariah 592 00:32:19.500 --> 00:32:20.840 chapter nine, verse nine. 593
