Two commentaries that are both very good and only compliment each other.
Daniel 9 (King James Version)
"24Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy."
This is a set period of time that is prophesied in which it's end marks the "end of sins," "reconciliation for iniquity," and to "bring in everlasting righteousness," "seal up the vision and prophecy," and to "anoint the most Holy!" We have all not been reconciled to our creator. This hasn't happened yet, but it will!
"25Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. "
seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks = seven sevens + 62 sevens..
weeks = seven
weeks of years
(7 x 7) + (62 X 7) = 49 + 434 = 483 biblical years!
biblical year = 360 days
(Revelation 12:6 KJV) 1260 days/360=3.5 years (Daniel 12:5-7;Revelation 12:4 KJV)
.0677 (solar years) X 365.2422 (solar year) = 24.7 days
476 years + 24.7 days or 476 years + 25 daysfrom the decree of Artaxerxes Longimanus to rebuild the temple in 445 BCto the appearance of Messiah the Prince to his people in Jerusalem would be 476 years + 25 days (solar time)!
31 AD!
Please watch the videos! This is a specified period of time in which the messiah was to introduce himself to his people in Jerusalem.
The Magi new it was time! Sadly his people didn't...
Luke 19
"29And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.
31And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
32And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
33And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
(OT fulfillment..
"Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass." Zechariah 9:9 KJV)
34And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
36And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
37And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
38Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
43For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
44And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another;because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. "
Before we get proud regarding "replacement theology" of the "Church" replacing Israel resulting sadly in anti-semetism, read Romans 9,10,11.
"For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins." Romans 11:25-27
God has a covenant which won't and can't be broken (Genesis 13:3KJV). Clearly there is a curse or a blessing contingent upon us blessing or cursing Israel.
The destruction of the Temple was in 70AD for them "not knowing the time of the messiah's visitation" and rejecting him. Judgement is also "blindness in part" untill the fullness of the gentiles, the mystery "Church", come in. Than the most high will focus back on Israel. This is the "70the Week of Daniel."
Just as the 69 weeks was literal and precise, so will be the "70th week prophecy."
"And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate." Daniel 9:27
He = the people of the prince (Daniel 9:26)
This is the final world leader!
Has this prophecy been fulfilled? The temple was destroyed in 70AD after Zeus was erected in the holy of holies by the Romans? Yes it was, but this is talking about an event that will happen again in the last days.
No clearly this is talking about the end of times. One clear point is that we clearly live in an age of sin! See above Daniel 9:24!
other evidence...
"And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" Matthew 24:3 KJV...
He later states..
"When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand)" Matthew 24:15 KJV
Daniel refers to this time with a specific time of trouble such as never has been seen in which all his people - the ones written in the book of life- are delivered.
"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book." Daniel 12:1 KJV
This event is echoed by Jesus' olivet discourse regarding this abomination of desolation and the end of the age...
"When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." Matthew 24:15-22 KJV
It's a precise period of time...
"And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days." Daniel 12:11 KJV
The point is the "70th week of Daniel" is yet to occur, and looks to be on the horizon...
This upcoming world government, looks to be the trigger point for this prophecy. This is just a model. Please refer to Acts 17:11 and let the holy spirit be your guide.
"And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:.." Daniel 9:27 KJV
Some believe we are already in this time frame, and that the world government will be the "midst of the week" in which this "abomination of desolation" prophecy is fulfilled. I don't believe we are there yet. Israel is key to unlocking prophecy, and I do believe this upcoming world government will be the initiation of this prophecy.
"For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape." 1 Thessalonians 5:3
The first half of this prophecy states "sacrifices" will be re-instated. A rebuilding of a third temple, dissolution of church and state, and implementation of the <"Noahide Laws"?) by a World Leader of Jewish descent (I disagree with the chart there) for the first 3 1/2 years until replacing this "old" system with the "new?" It should be noted that Masons venerate 33rd degree free mason "Hiram Abiff" as the architect of "Solomon's Temple." They could have it built in no time when they need it.
"2 Thessolonians 2" talks about a man who will proclaim himself to be God showing "signs and wonders."
"Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." 2 Thessalonians 2:4 KJV
The temple is defined both as a building, but also as our bodies! There is some talk about a third-temple being rebuilt - which indeed looks to be on the horizon if sacrifices would be re-initiated. In the midst of the week these sacrifices stop, and the agenda looks to be to destroy the "old" religious system to bring in the "new" age of enlightenment.
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.1 Corinthians 3:16-17
Could defiling the temple defined as our bodies be the "Abomination of Desolation?" Our bodies being the temple of God could very well be the key to understanding this "Mark of the Beast" prophecy.
The elite of the world highly venerate Atlantis. For information on this, please refer to "Apollyon Rising 2012." New age groups are pushing this "god consciousness." It looks to be much less than a secular movement. It very well looks to be tied to the mark of the Beast. "Kundalini Awakening" and "DNA Activiation" evolving to a new state of being.
Could this be the final Satanic World Religion which fulfills the Mark of the Beast prophecy - the point of no return?
These groups talk about an "initiation" or "cleansing." Breaking down the "old" system rapidly bringing in the "new." The "Pheonix" being "born again" from the ashes or "Out of Chaos Order."
Worship of "Mother Earth" looks and "resource-based" socialistic society looks to be the goal thus no one can buy or sell without being "initiated" into their system. RFID Chips and DNA Scanners could be used to enforce this.
Revelation 13
"11And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."
Could this "False Prophet" that "has two horns and speaks like a dragon" (Revelation 13) be the "New Age" Jesus claiming the Bible has been corrupted and that we must evolve to godhood with a "new age" Avatar? This one denies our origin and need for atonement of sins through him alone. Considered the old age leader of Pieces, but now we will have a new age Avatar of Aquarius. The Elite call it the "Golden Age." The New Agers are calling it the "Age of Aquarius". The ascended master channelers are calling it the "enlightenement." Other names include the "Great Awakening" "Kundalini Awakening" "Paradigm Shift." Sadly this looks to be coming from a number of fronts, eventually to merge into one.
Could this be the lie talked about in 2 Thessalonians 2?
"For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. " 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12 KJV
It's interesting that Islam claims Jesus as "Isa." The Sunni Muslims believe he will destroy their version of the Anti-Christ the Dajjal which is said to have one eye. Interesting the Bible says this Anti-Christ world leader could have one eye.
"Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened." Zechariah 11:17 KJV
Could this be deadly head wound that was healed?
Revelation 13
"1And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."
Is your name written in the book of life? If not please ask the Messiah Jesus into your heart now before it's too late!
"But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners? And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." Luke 5:30-32
All glory to the most high!
No dates are being set, but it is important to expose those dates that could be important.
"Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit." John 3:5-8 KJV
Why is it important understanding such events?
As Biblical Scholars will point out, the Book of Revelation which details these events is highly "Jewish" in its context and is one of the most referenced periods of time in the Bible. As the "Church" of believers; we are told to discern the times (Luke 19:42; Matthew 16:3), be watchers warning others of what's coming (Ezekiel 33:6)(Matthew 25:13 KJV), to work (Matthew 24:36 KJV), and to not be deceived (Matthew 24:4; Matthew 24:24-26; 2 Thessalonians 2:3).
Use the power of the holy scriptures to help strengthen the "Body of Christ" and introduce new members, all while exposing the enemy that wants to take us with him to his inevitable destiny!

Jesus said in Luke 19: 42-44.....``If you had known even you at least in this your day , the things which belong to your peace! , but now they are hid from your eyes.....For the days will come on you , that your enemies, will cast a trench around you , and compass you around, and keep you on every side....And will lay you even with the ground , and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone on another, because you knew not the time of Jesus visitation``........ See believers need the lead in the Spirit in all truths ... For me I don`t agree with all the forbidden knowledge here , which may come from scholars who have intrigues of faithlessness, and are not lead as a child of the Lord ...... See there most of the Pharisees and Sadducee and scribes and lawyer of Jesus day who were not prepared for and knew not the time of Jesus visitation

Daniel 9:25 was the messianic prophecy to God's people to instruct them when they were to be prepared to receive their messiah. Luke 19:42-42 is where he pronounces his judgement to them for them not knowing this prophecy.
Messianic prophecyas to when they were to expect their messiah.
"Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times." Daniel 9:25 KJV
Judgment pronounced for not knowing the messianic prophecy
"Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. Luke 19:42-44 KJV
We are held accountable for knowing the times; and have been warned repeatedly to be sober, watch, and not to be deceived.
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 KJV
"And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet." Matthew 24:4-6 KJV
"And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?" Matthew 16:3
"Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come" Matthew 24:42
"Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matthew 24:47-51
Ezekiel 33:4-8 KJV
"Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul."
"But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand."
"Present-day fascination with 666 often restricts “the mark” to the prediction of not being able to buy or sell. Yet, just one verse earlier, there is a far more drastic statement. The lamb-like beast will “cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed” (13:15). Worship the image or die. The prophecy speaks of control over commerce and control over life, but it also has to do with one’s worship. The world has seen much of this kind of persecution. However, this particular persecution has to be considered in the setting of Revelation 13, which deals with the revival of Rome as a religious power. With this setting in mind, it becomes rather obvious that the focus is upon such historical realities as the Crusades and the Inquisition. The spirit and practice aof the Inquisition spanned at least the twelfth to the nineteenth century. Since we live in an age and country with religious freedom today, it may be difficult for us to imagine the centuries during which the Roman Catholic Church held sway over the souls and bodies of men."
I disagree with the notion that the book of Revelation has been fulfilled. While the "churches" described in Chapter 2 and 3 are historic, I believe there to be a prophetic implication as well for both us personally and the institutional "churches". This is why the "70th week of Daniel" prophecy is so important to understand. Jesus was clearly talking about the end of the world (Matthew 24) when we would return. I believe the precision of this prophecy should help us understand we are to take this more literally.
I believe we are yet to see and sadly look to be on the precipice of this prophecy being fulfilled. I see evidence all around that this indeed is yet to come to pass. The greatest evidence is that Jesus is not currently here reigning as King of kings and Lord of lords! There is much evidence that scripture needs to be taken more seriously and less "allegorically" when consulting the "whole council of God." I do believe the Jewishness of the Book of Revelation also should help confirm this book is mainly written to bring God's people to repentance which is indicated throughout the whole scripture and detailed in the "70th week of Daniel" prophecy.
The technology nowadays would make it very easy to enforce a system in which "no one can buy or sell" without some type of affiliation/ Mark with some beast system. It's hard to imagine as we don't see this on the stage yet, but it does seem as if the stage is being set as you look into the middle east. Thanks for posting and God bless.
now for those who are unsure or don't know... the RFID chip is not the forerunner of the mark of the beast as some would believe.. the RFID chip IS the mark of the beast itself! ... just wanted to make it so clear!
the time comes when it will be obligatory... when your chip is ready for insertion, all you can do is to reject it. Now what you can do is to warn others not to take it... keep in mind that this technology will be compulsory on a global scale just after the Rapture for the NWO will not be established until then.

I think it's clear the MOB is directly linked to a religious system thus identifying with that religious system. I believe the RFID chip or biometrics could be the technology used to enforce it in what looks to be a resource-based economy.
The philosophy looks to be one of mankind's "evolving" to a higher state of "god consciousness". A lot of new age groups are talking about how our alien space brothers are going to assist in this "enlightenment". All that don't "evolve" will be deemed against humanity. < I believe that would be it and be the point of no return. I don't believe God will reject someone for simply getting an RFID chip stuck in their arm. If getting it is tied to rejecting the messiah Jesus (John 14:6) than it could be. I believe what was posted above will be the end game for all that choose "godhood". It only makes sense we end up where we started.
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
"Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 0And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." 2 Thessalonians 2
One great big lie. How else would the world gather together in the valley of Jezreel to wage war against the Lord? Defend what they believe to be an external cosmic threat? New Age groups are talking about this "good" and "bad" alien concept. The good ones will help us evolve to godhood.

You crack me up Mystic. (unless that's you typing in tongues and if it is, I apologize)
