GOD’S COUNTDOWN
GOD’S PLAN GIVEN
Daniel 9:23, “As soon as you began to pray, an answer was given, which I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed. So, consider the message and understand the vision.”
Six Phases of Redemption
Verse 24, “Seventy sevens are decreed for your people and your holy city to...
(1) finish their rebellion;
(2) to put an end to their sin;
(3) to atone for wickedness;
(4) to bring in everlasting righteousness,
(5) to confirm the prophetic vision,
(6) and to anoint the Most Holy Place.”
GOD’S TIMING EXPLAINED
Daniel 9:24, “Seventy sevens are decreed.”
Daniel 9:25, “Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be cut off and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood; war will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed.”
7 “Sevens” = 49 years: Jerusalem rebuilt
62 “Sevens” = 434 years: (49 + 434 = 483 years)
Messiah killed and Jerusalem destroyed
Daniel 9:26, “After 62 sevens, the Anointed One will be cut off.”
