MOST PROPHETS PROPHESIED WHEN THEY WERE OUT OF THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY, BUT DANIEL'S ENTIRE PROPHECY WAS GIVEN WHILE IN CAPTIVITY.
THE KING OF BABYLON WHICH IS A TYPE THAT SETS FORTH OF WHAT SHALL HAPPEN UNDER THE REIGN OF THE NEW KING OF BABYLON (SATAN) IN THE END GENERATION.
THE FIRST PART OF THE BOOK IS HISTORIC, WHILE THE LATTER HALF IS PROPHETIC.
THE FIRST PART OF THE BOOK WAS WRITTEN IN ARAMAIC (THE LANGUAGE OF THE CAPTIVITY), WHILE THE LATTER IS WRITTEN IN HEBREW.
CONTINUING HERE WITH DANIEL'S PRAYER TO THE LORD. IN THE LATTER VERSES OF THIS CHAPTER THE SUBJECT CHANGES AND IT'S ALL PROPHECY OF THE END TIMES.
Daniel 9:15 And now, O LORD our God, That hast brought Thy People forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten Thee renown (FAMOUS NATURALLY), as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
PEOPLE STILL DO TODAY, WORSE THAN THE TIMES IN THE PAST.
9:16 O LORD, according to all Thy righteousness, I beseech Thee, let Thine anger and Thy fury be turned away from Thy city Jerusalem, Thy holy mountain: because of our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Thy People are become a reproach to all that are about us (THOSE THEY TRY TO DO WELL).
THE ANTICHRIST (INSTEAD OF CHRIST IN THE GREEK=SATAN) IS COMING TO SET HIS KINGDOM IN THE TEMPLE MOUNT IN JERUSALEM.
GOD WILL PROTECT HIS OWN. HE WILL DESTROY THAT AREA UPON HIS RETURN BUT WE WILL BE OKAY. HIS ANGER IS TOWARD HIS ENEMIES, NOT US.
9:17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of Thy servant, and his supplications, and cause Thy face to shine upon Thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the LORD's sake.
DO IT AGAIN FOR YOUR SERVANT'S SAKE.
9:18 O my God, incline Thine ear, and hear; open Thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by Thy name: for we do not present our supplications before Thee for our righteousness, but for Thy great mercies.
IN OTHER WORDS, WE DON'T DESERVE OF YOUR GREAT MERCIES, BUT BECAUSE OF THAT MERCY LET FORGIVENESS COME TO PASS.
9:19 O LORD, hear (LISTEN); O LORD, forgive; O LORD, hearken and do (LISTEN TO US NOW); defer not, for Thine own sake, O my God: for Thy city and Thy People are called by Thy name.'
9:20 And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of My People Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;
YOU ALWAYS REPENT WHEN YOU FALL SHORT AND PRESENT YOUR CASE TO THE LORD.
9:21 Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I have seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation (GIFT OR DONATION OFFERING).
THIS PROPHECY IS NOT GIVEN BY A "PROPHET", BUT BY AN ANGEL TO A PROPHET. IT IS THEREFORE A MOST TRANSCENDENT PROPHECY.
9:22 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, 'O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.
TO TEACH THE UNDERSTANDING, OR TO MAKE YOU WISE TO UNDERSTAND.
IT IS NOT A VISION THAT REQUIRES INTERPRETATION, BUT A DIRECT PROPHECY GIVEN IN SIMPLE WORDS BY THE ANGEL CABRIEL, SENT BY GOD FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF MAKING EVERYTHING CLEAR, AND SOLVING THE MOST WEIGHTY PROBLEMS THAT PERPLEX THE HUMAN MIND. THERE IS NO "DIFFICULTY", AS SUPPOSED. ALL THAT IS REQUIRED OF US IS TO UNDERSTAND, AND CONSIDER, AND BELIEVE WHAT IS THUS WRITTEN FOR OUR LEARNING.
9:23 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision (THINK BACK ON THAT VISION).
9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon Thy People and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring an everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy (A HOLY OF HOLLIES. NEVER USED OF A PERSON. THIS ANSWERS TO THE CLEANSING OF THE SANCTUARY (8:14) WHICH IMMEDIATELY PRECEDES "THE END").
THIS IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE MILLENNIUM (CHRIST'S THOUSAND YEAR REIGN), AND PERHAPS EVEN PAST THAT.
SEVENTY WEEKS= 7X70=490 YEARS DETERMINED. NOT ON ANY "YEAR-DAY" THEORY. IF "DAYS" HAD BEEN INTENDED, IT WOULD BE SO EXPRESSED, AS IN 10:3. MOREOVER, "YEARS" HAD BEEN THE SUBJECT OF DANIEL'S PRAYER (VERSE 2). THE LAST "SEVEN" IS "ONE", AND IT IS DIVIDED IN HALF IN VERSE 27, AND THE HALF IS THREE AND A HALF YEARS (7:25, 8:11-14, 11:33). IN REV. 11:2 THIS HALF IS EXPRESSED BY "FORTY-TWO MONTHS"; AND IN THE NEXT VERSE AS "1260 DAYS". THE WHOLE PERIOD IS THEREFORE 490 YEARS.
DETERMINED= CUT OFF. DIVIDED OFF FROM ALL OTHER YEARS.
9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks (62 WEEKS): the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
IT WOUD BE EZRA AND NEHEMIAH DURING THE REIGN OF CYRUS. THIS WOULD BEGIN ON CHAPTER TEN.
NOT IN REGARDS OF THE TEMPLE (AS IN EZRA), BUT THE CITY (AS IN NEHEMIAH), WHICH WAS THE SUBJECT OF DANIEL'S PRAYER, AND THEREFORE THE ANSWER TO IT.
SEVEN WEEKS IS 49 YEARS. THE YEAR THE ORDER WAS GIVEN WAS 454 B.C. WHEN YOU TAKE 49 YEARS AWAY FROM THAT YOU HAVE THE YEAR 405 B.C.
THREESCORE AND TWO WEEKS= 434 YEARS (405 B.C.=29 A.D.). CHRIST WAS BORN IN BETHLEHEM 434 YEARS LATER. NOW WE TAKE AWAY 434 YEARS. IT BRINGS US TO 29 A.D. CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED AROUND 29 A.D.
9:26 And after threescore and two weeks (62 WEEKS) shall Messiah be cut off (CRUCIFIED), but not for Himself: and the people (THE KENITES=SATAN'S OFFSPRING) of the prince (SATAN, LITTLE HORN) that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood (A FLOOD OF LIES AND DECEPTION= REV. 12:7), and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
THERE ARE TWO PARTS TO THIS.
1ST PART=CHRIST'S CRUCIFIXION.
2ND PART=THE END.
WE HAVE COVERED 69 WEEKS, BUT WE HAVE NOT COVERED THE 70TH WEEK.
IT WASN'T MENTIONED FOR A VERY SPECIAL REASON. THERE IS A GAP THERE. IT'S THE SAME WHEN CHRIST APPEARED ON THE FIRST ADVENT AND READ FROM THE BOOK OF ISAIAH BUT HE DIDN'T FINISH THE VERSE. HE CLOSED THE BOOK.
WHY? BECAUSE IT WAS NOT MEANT FOR THEIR TIME. IT IS MEANT FOR OURS. THEREFORE, WE CAN UNDERSTAND THE VISION BUT DANIEL COULD NOT.
9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week (THIS IS THE 70TH WEEK): and in the midst of the week (3 1/2 YEARS) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation (CHRIST IS OUR SACRIFICE=HOLY COMMUNION, PASSOVER) 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 (DESOLATOR IN THE HEBREW).'
THE HEBREW STATES,
AND ON WINGS AS A DESOLATOR (THIS IS AN ENTITY=SATAN), ABOMINATIONS EVEN TO THE CONSUMMATION, AND THAT DETERMINED SHALL BE POURED UPON THE DESOLATOR.
THIS IS CERTAINLY FUTURE. SEE MATTHEW 24:15. OUR LORD TELLS US WHERE IT WILL STAND "IN THE HOLY PLACE", IN THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM. ANTIOCHUS, THE TYPE OF THE "LITTLE HORN", DEFILED THE SANCTUARY, BUT HE DID NOT DESTROY IT. HE CANNOT THEREFORE BE THE FULFILLER OF THIS PROPHECY, THOUGH HE FORSHADOWED HIM.
THE LITTLE HORN IS SATAN HIMSELF PLAYING THE ROLE OF "ANTICHRIST" (INSTEAD OF CHRIST IN THE GREEK), DECEIVING THE WHOLE WORLD AND THE CHURCH (EXCEPT THE ELECT).
NOTE: CHRIST CHANGED THE TIME (NOT THE PLACE) FROM 3 1/2 YEARS TO 5 MONTHS FOR THE ELECT'S SAKE (MARK 13:20, REV. 9:10-11).
WHY? BECAUSE SATAN IS SUPERNATURAL AND VERY GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES. HE COULD HAVE DECEIVED EVEN THE ELECT IF HE WAS HERE 3 1/2 YEARS.
GOD BLESS
