Love this channel. Iâm familiar with the mainstream interpretation of Danielâs 70th week, but it just makes no sense that it isnât the last week in a series of 70 consecutive weeks. It wouldnât have made sense 2000 years ago and it doesnât make sense today. The 70th week is plainly described in scripture. Itâs the last week of the 70 weeks, or 490 years. Jesus arrives on the scene, makes a âcovenant with many,â which is the New Covenant, for one whole week. One week is 7 years. Jesus preaches the gospel for the first 3.5 years and is âcut off,â dying on the cross for the sins of the world, and is resurrected. Jesus, as the resurrected Christ, continues preaching into the second three-and-a-half years for a short time until he ascends to heaven. He continues to preach the gospel to the Jews through the Holy Spirit indwelling his followers for the remainder of these last 7 years of the prophecy. These are the last 7 years that God gave the Jews to repent and believe God as a nation once and for all, or else. At the end of the 7 years, so three and a half years after Jesusâs death and resurrection and ascension, the Sanhedrin convene to condemn Stephen. They stone him to death. At this moment, Israel officially rejects Jesus as the Messiah. They choose not to follow God. The importance of this cannot be underestimated, because youâll notice that Stephen sees Jesus is not sitting but STANDING at the right hand of God. Jesus is standing because this is the moment that seals the fate of the Jews.
@Gary-z5y nice to hear from you. Thanks for your feedback. Iâm blessed that you enjoy my channel. You said youâre familiar with the mainstream or common interpretation. Then you probably know that the individual making the covenant with many is not Jesus establishing the new covenant but the Antichrist establishing the covenant with Israel. Also, I understand what youâre saying about the difficulty of seeing the gap between the sixty-ninth and seventieth weeks, but this is common. Hereâs another example from a prophecy we are familiar with: Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. Thereâs a gap in there: a Child was born, unto us a Son was given, but weâre still waiting for the government to be on His shoulders, He hasnât taken over and started ruling yet. If you listened to the sermon, you know I will be teaching on Danielâs seventy weeks in Sunday school over the coming weeks. There will probably only be audio recordings of those messages. So, you wonât be able to find them on my TH-cam channel. But I can give you the links if youâre interested and I hope you will listen to them.
@@ScottLaPierreI truly do love watching your sermons. Although I have a different view of the interpretation of certain parts of scripture, I nonetheless always learn something valuable. I especially have enjoyed learning about the feasts. I personally believe Christ is reigning right now. In fact, he has progressively been reigning over more and more governments of the world with a rod of iron for nearly 2000 years. This is also the expressed as Satan being bound in chains for a âthousand years.â The word âthousand,â in this case, is âkiliaâ in Greek. And just like the word âdozenâ always refers to the number 12, âkiliaâ is plural and always refers to âthousands,â never âone thousand.â It is a mistranslation that should read âtwo thousand.â Christ reigns on earth for two thousand years, and we as believers reign with him, as priests because we offer ourselves as a living sacrifice, speaking truth to a world that hates us for it. And as kings, because we wield the scepter of God, which is his word. The antichrist has been here all along. First and foremost, he is a banker, and is head of the wealthiest, most powerful bank on earth: the Vatican bank. As of 1929, the pope is a king, and reigns over one of only two countries in the world that have a square flag, denoting their sovereignty. All other counties have rectangular flags and are run by central banks, which ultimately answer to the Vatican bank. Pope Francis is the 8th pope since 1929, when the Vatican was restored as a city-state under Mussolini. Heâs also the 8th king in the prophecy of the kings in Revelation 17. Note that Pope Benedict, the 7th king, retired after only 8 years. On March 27, 2020, Pope Francis reinstated the practice of offering indulgences in his Urbi ey Orbi address in Rome. Earlier that day, Rep Thomas Massie, Republican, announced the death of the US republic in the stairs of the Capitol building in Washington. On that day, Pope Francis - who is both a white pope and a black pope, being the first Jesuit pope ever - regained the full power the papacy enjoyed for the 1260 year period from 538AD to 1798AD. During this time, the pope reigned both as head of the church, and also with civil power as âcorrector of heretics.â If the antichrist is yet to come, wouldnât the pope have to bow to him? Are we to believe the pope would abdicate his power and authority to the antichrist? And doesnât âVicar of Christâ literally mean âantichrist?â
@@Gary-z5y Thatâs great. Thank you for letting me know. We are similar in that way: some of the teachers I listen to are post-millennial or amillennial even though, as you can tell from my sermons, Iâm premillennial. Based on what you wrote, it seems you are amillennial? As an ex-Catholic, you can imagine how many times Iâve heard many good arguments that the Pope is the antichrist. God saved me out of Catholicism. Religiously speaking, few things bother me as much as people saying Catholics are Christians. With that said, it is hard for me to believe that the Jews will embrace a Messiah who is not Jewish.
@@ScottLaPierre Iâm not Catholic and I donât even attend church. I was an atheist, but became a believer over 10 years ago. I did go to a Jesuit university, unfortunately, but I most say Iâm much more aware of Catholic lies because I did. In my opinion, God isnât going to let the temple be rebuilt, and there isnât going to be an appearance of a so-called âmessiah.â I do not believe God will allow animal sacrifices to resume. Thereâll only be the second coming of Christ. Emperor Julian in the 4th century tried to rebuild the temple, and the accounts from that time point to extraordinary supernatural events which prevented its construction. Also, itâs very obvious to me that the temple was located in the city of David, not where the Dome of the Rock is located. The Gihon spring was also in the city of David and given the amount of water needed for the hundreds of thousands of animals being sacrificed at Passover, thereâs no way at all, practically speaking, that the Temple Mount makes any sense. There isnât a water source on the Temple Mount, and didnât Jesus prophesy - and Josephus confirm - that the temple was completely destroyed? The Western Wall is intact and therefore cannot be part of the temple complex. It was part of the large Roman fortification in that area. My opinion is that we have a maximum of 7 years, even a little less. The Chinese recorded the sun going dark on the day of Gui Hai, in the 7th year, of the Emperor Guangwu, in the Annals of the Latter Han Dynasty. They had a very complex astrological calendar based on cycles of 60, like 60 days where each day was assigned to one or two characters, 60 weeks, 12 months, and probably 10 years, with each one having one or two character. By putting the characters together, they tell a story. And the story they told on the day the sun went dark, was that âman from heaven died,â and âall sins are on one man, and pardon is proclaimed to all under heaven,â Iâm Paraphrasing but you can look it up if youâre not familiar with it. Three days later, there was a rainbow around the sun, according to what they wrote. And this is why, over the last 5 to 10 years, youâve been seeing bits of rainbow appear around the sun. Itâs a sign of the imminence of the second coming. I described above why I think weâre in the 2000 year reign of Christâs kingdom on earth right now. 2031 will be exactly 2000 years since his death, resurrection, and ascension, which is why I believe Christ returns within 7 years. But probably sooner than later, because he does say the days are cut short. One interesting thing very few people are aware of: on September 24, 1950, the sun went dark over North America. They had to turn on street lights in the middle of the day because it got so dark. The official story is that it was a forest fire but this is not at all true. No reports of smoke at all that day or even that week. My grandfather worked for the electric company in Milwaukee and remembered the day they had to turn on the street lights because of how dark it got. Even years later he couldnât believe what he saw. Despite such remarkable evidence, how can we believe we donât donât live in the realm described in Genesis. Btw the Internet insists that Rev 12:1 was fulfilled on Sept 23, 2017. This is not true. It was fulfilled when the moon was under Virgoâs feet on Sept 24, 2017. Itâs because they didnât want to bring any attention to Sept 24th, because of what happened 67 years earlier.
@@Gary-z5y Thanks for all the other information you shared. Iâm surprised you attend church. You seem to have a heart for Godâs Word and serving in a local church family and worshiping with Godâs people on the Lordâs day is one of the most basic practices of the Christian faith.
