Daniel 9:24-25 “Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy. “Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince, there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublesome times.”
I’ve heard that there are more than 300 Old Testament prophetic Scriptures completed in the life of Jesus Christ, including in Daniel 9:24-25 on the exact year of the coming of the Messiah. God created everything "good", but our original parents which He created sinned, bringing death into the world. But, God had a plan of Salvation through the Savior of the world. The Divine prophesy was made and fulfilled that we may have a unshakable faith based upon historical fact, proving the God knows and controls history (His story) from beginning to end and our almighty Maker knows and orchestrated it all in the Intelligent Design of complex of the Cosmos, conditions for organic life, the incredible biological make-up of animals, plants and organisms in reproducible complexity with
As far as “End Times” prophesy, in Matthew 24:35-36 our Lord Jesus tells us, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.” I am sticking with that passage and focusing on my call in my time to serve the Lord. God opens a door for us to walk through in life, then one day that door closes and another door opens it seems. There is an end, but in the end God wins.
I heard it said that God always meets us where we are at today, but doesn’t keep us at where we are at today. Our Lord has a purpose for our life and helps us to grow and mature in experience, knowledge and wisdom to accomplish our calling. It’s not easy; it’s labor with dedication, devotion and desire towards that purpose; work (kingdom work) by good and faithful servants in the mission fields towards the harvest. We live in a lost in sin world but Jesus came on mission to seek and save the lost. We are commissioned by the Lord on this same Gospel mission, but, with the eternal perspective on our hearts and our eyes on the finish line. It’s not really blind faith if we open our eyes to see and ears to hear. Fulfilled prophesy proves God's reality. The evidence is all around us, so “In God We Trust”.
In Christ, Brian
