Amir's teaching, "Daniel's 70 Weeks", Euless, TX, (in English) June 25, 2017.

what a great opportunity to be here at the very tail end of a long ministry tour for the most part in Mexico I was able to travel across the country and speak in eight different prophecy conferences and see so many amazing transformations of life especially the thing that really encouraged me the most is young people and I was there encouraged but this morning I want to share with you a message that I believe is timely because a lot of people underestimate the importance of the prophets in the Bible and for for so many years that churches around the world would teach only 70 percent of the Bible leaving the last thirty just for the people to deal with all by themselves because it's either too complicated or it's we think that we have our own interpretation and and so Bible prophecy has been so so to speak left aside by many many different churches around the world and it's interesting because when the disciples who left Jerusalem right there on Sunday morning all the way down to the village of Emmaus and they were talking about the events that happened in Jerusalem throughout that weekend and they were talking and walking suddenly Jesus shows up and you know it's a little hard to attend somebody's funeral and then look at him walk walking right by you so they didn't understand it's him and of course he's asking them what is it that you're talking about and you are so sad and so they were indeed sad although that was Sunday morning and the tomb was empty and they already knew about it and then he asked him that and they told him it you you're the only one you're the only one in Jerusalem that didn't hear about Jesus of Nazareth who was a prophet in might indeed and we thought he we'll be the deliverer of Israel in other words they had their own understanding of Jesus their own understanding of of the reason why came for and then jesus said all foolish of heart and slow to believe in that which the prophets had said in other words you can be a follower of Jesus physically be with him for three years every single day and still not get it if you're not in the word and if you don't believe in that which the Prophet had said and that is why I felt that it's so important a a to teach Bible prophecy but unfortunately there's such hunger for Bible prophecy that there's so many Christians that are flocking to Bible prophecy and then they forget about the 70% of the rest of the Bible I think it's so important that we bring about that balance and one of my favorite characters in the scriptures is the prophet Daniel as a very young boy was taken all the way from Jerusalem to Babylon by king of Babylon Nebuchadnezzar at that time and he he was taken basically to serve the king among others now you have to understand something what we're about to deal with this morning is something that God is interested that his children will know because in Isaiah 46 verses 9 and 10 he says I am God there is no other I am God and there is none like me declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things that are not yet done saying my counsel suspend and I will do all my pleasure God wants his children to know his plan he is not hiding them he declared them and from the very beginning he declares the things of the very end in other words you don't have to go to psychic shop and pay somebody to read the future for you you just need to be in the scriptures you need to be in the word God wants his children to know his plans not only that in 2nd Peter chapter 1 verses 20 and 21 know knowing this first that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation for prophecy never came by the will of man but the holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit this is why it's so important that we don't follow after modern days contemporary prophets that's why I say I come from a nonprofit organization just so you know that but it's important that you understand guys that prophecy is not somebody's interpretation God is not asking Isaiah Jeremiah certainly not Daniel what is your opinion about this thing and please write it down because the people would like to hear your opinion now we're not interested in hearing daniel's opinion or Isaiah's opinion or Ezekiel's opinion these were holy men of God that were chosen and selected by God to be just vessels or convert through which the Holy Spirit is speaking the Word of God to the people that's it and and all that God needed them to do is to make themselves available and as Isaiah said Here I am send me in Hebrew Here I am is he nemi it's a word that I think every believer around the world should know in Hebrew he many say that he nanny Here I am make yourself available God will use you now you also have to understand in 1st Peter chapter 1 verses 10 and 11 it says of this salvation the praat the prophet have inquired and searched carefully who prophesied of the grace that would come to you searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ who was in them was about indicating when he testifies beforehand the suffering of Christ and then the glories that would follow in other words we can see that God wants to us to understand the time and not only the things that happen but the things that will follow so Daniel as I said was a young man taken to captivity and we know that the book of Daniel the 12 chapters is basically divided to two the first six chapters is a historical part of Daniel basically we're talking about a young man that was taken from being an exiled youth to old age during three different world leaders of that time it's quite amazing and then comes the prophetic part now bear in mind in the first part he is interpreting dreams of other people namely the king but then in the second part God is speaking to him directly and then he needs interpretation or an understanding that was given to him by the angel so Daniel chapter 9 is that the portion I'm going to deal with today is from Daniel chapter 9 now we have to understand what I love about Daniel is the fact that although he was taken out of his land although he was away from his language his people his his the holy place that the meeting place with God although he actually suffered from things he he actually himself never really did it's a consequences of the sinful nature of Israel of that time and he was away because of things that even in Leviticus were already prophesied and told the people of Israel I will bring the land to desolation and your enemies will dwell in it in it and then you shall be astonished at it and I will scatter you among the nations I will draw out a sword after you and your land shall be desolate and your cities wait and then the land shall enjoy Sabbath as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemy's land the people of Israel was supposed to keep the sabbatical you the Sabbath here every seven years yet they didn't they didn't have the faith that God would provide enough for them on the seventh year that they don't have to work that land and therefore God punished them and for every year in a span of seventy sabbatical years 400 maybe years for every year they didn't keep that God actually sent them to the Exile and and he says that the land shall enjoy the Sabbath as long as it's life desolate and you are in your enemy's land and then the land shall rest and enjoy Sabbath as long as it lies desolate it shall rest for the time it did not rest on your Sabbath when you dwelt in it so we know that injure my chapter 25 in Jeremiah chapter 29 in 2nd chronicles 36 we know that the prophets spoke about the fact that the children of Israel the people of Israel will be taken to the exile for 70 years because of that Levitical law that they never kept so we know that for a fact now what I love about Daniel is that even though being in foreign land he was in the word now in those days we didn't have Bibles as you have today you understand how many of you own a Bible please ok how many on more than one you're all in trouble you understand that because you are you have no excuse that you don't know the word that you don't have the word in those days you had to be a multi gazillionaire in order to own the whole Bible nobody own a Bible the Bible was a you know public property in Scrolls in synagogue and it would be read publicly to the people and the people were very carefully memorizing and chanting and meditating on it day and night in order to remember it and so you understand Daniel the prophet remembers the prophecy given through the Prophet Jeremiah and he draws great encouragement from the fact that we are almost at the end of those 70 years and then he prays to God and says to the Lord this is it God we're coming to that point whenever you pray count on one thing God will answer now he may answer in his own time because you don't give him your time but God speaks when people pray and you understand Daniel already sauce visions before that ninth chapter in Daniel 9 is so the beasts in in Daniel 8 he saw another one in the the vision and the understandings were given to him in Chapter 9 by one of the Archangel Gabriel now we know that they were we know that there were only three angels that we know their names unfortunately one of them is bad you have Gabriel and with Michael but then we have of course Lucifer that we know that according to Isaiah chapter 14 was casted down because he he declared rebellion in the heavenlies now Gabriel is the one who is commissioned to give messages he's the messenger or the message bringer and he appears in the Bible only five times in fact in the Old Testament only in the Book of Daniel and in the New Testament the Gospel of Luke as he is the person who brought the message not only to Zechariah the father of John the Baptist but also to Mary in fact he is the one who told Mary you are going to have a child and you shall name him exactly what a great messenger think about it so we know that the the angel comes all the way to Daniel and the Bible says now while I was speaking verse 20 and praying and confessing my sin in the sin of my people Israel and presenting my supplications before the Lord my God in behalf of the holy mountain of my god while I was still speaking in prayer that the man Gabriel whom I had seen in the vision previously in the eighth chapter by the way he came to me in my extreme wareness about the time of the evening offering and he gave me instruction and talked with me and said o Daniel I have now come forward to give you insight with understanding and the beginning of your supplication now watch this now look he comes and he says all Daniel in other words God knows us by earning it's not like Daniel said hey my name is Daniel and I come before no the angel comes and knows already that this is Daniel and he said Oh Daniel I have now come forth to give you insight with understanding it's not the angel inside it's not the Angels understanding God it's almost like God called Gabriel gave him a scroll and says now go and give it to Daniel he's just a messenger and it's interesting because the Bible says at the beginning of your supplication in other words God hears us not only when we say Amen at the end from the very beginning of our supplication the Bible says the command was issued who is the commander in chief exactly so the command was issued the Bible says and I have come to tell you in other words I follow the commands I've come to tell you for you are highly esteemed so give heed to the message and gain understanding of the vision the angel says God heard you from the moment you open your mouth he sees your heart you're highly esteemed and I was called to the chambers I was given something and I just came and I want you to know there is a message here I'm going to give you the message and the understanding very interesting and then he says and then of course he says seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city Wow that's interesting Daniel is thinking about the 70 years that the Prophet Jeremiah was speaking about he is looking forward to the end of that time where God gave him something much greater a much bigger vision about seventy weeks which are actually seventy times of seven years 490 years he's talking about he was speaking at the end of a 70 year period interesting and he said to him seventy weeks have been what had been decreed for who for your people and for your holy city who are the people the people of Israel what is the city the city of Jerusalem now pay attention he is far away yet God is telling him I'm going to deal with Israel and with Jerusalem pay attention that which I'm about to do with Israel and with Jerusalem determines everything this is the big picture so you can live in ulis and you can live in Southlake and you can live in Dallas and you can live in Fort Worth still that which God is about to do with Israel and with Jerusalem will matter it is part of the big picture and so we're talking about Israel and we're talking about Jerusalem and the vision is that there will be 70 weeks and look what he says he says this so he says first of all the seventy weeks are what to finish transgression to make an end of sin to make atonement for iniquity to bring in everlasting righteousness to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place and then he says so you are to know indiscernible and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah latrines there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks and it will be built again with with with Plaza and mold and then even in times of distress and then after so so first of all we're talking about seven weeks then sixty-two weeks and after that sixty-two weeks which means after the seven in the sixty-two how many are we 69 he says then after that he says I will build again then after the six to two weeks the Messiah will be cut up and have nothing and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary and its end will come with a flood no you to pay attention first God tells Daniel there will be seven years and the seven years is the seven years to rebuild Jerusalem then 62 more weeks and then of course Messiah has to come and be cut off now you have to understand seventy weeks is seventy times seven it's 490 years the seven first weeks were building the walls and restoring the city and plus sixty-two weeks we get 69 weeks but then he said to him I'm going to tell you when you need to start counting they're not great that God is giving us a vision but he's not leaving us hanging in the air he said now let me tell you exactly when to start what is the starting point from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem chapter 8 verse 25 now do you understand there were several kings from Babylon then of course the Persian Empire all the way until the end of the Persian Empire in 536 BC King Cyrus commands the rebuilding of the temple according to Ezra one verses one through four so in 536 the command of Cyrus is what to rebuilding of the temple that's 536 BC then in 519 BC King Darius commands the rebuilding of the temple Ezra six verses one through 12 then in 548 BC our digs axis commands the beautification of the temple and that is Ezra chapter 7 verses 11 through 27 so we see that there were already three different decrees but none of the has to do with the city all of them have to do with the temple only but what was the starting point that Daniel received from the command to build what not the temple but the walls and the city of Jerusalem and that would only be in 445 BC when our tech services the same King allowed Nehemiah to rebuild the city of Jerusalem at chapter 1 verses 5 through 8 that's the key this is the year and the month of Nisan so we have the month and we have the year and start counting beautiful so now we are talking about seventy seven weeks plus sixty-two weeks 69 weeks altogether is 483 years you understand that 483 years 69 last time I checked times 7 483 do we agree good now I'm not here to teach you math but I'm here to tell you that you may be right but you're all wrong why biblical years are different than today's counting because the Jewish people in the time of the Bible never counted a year by 365 days their counting was always lunar therefore it was only 360 days per year so we don't even have to look into the actual years in our own calendars we just have to take 69 times 360 and you get 173,880 days now you divide it to our years of today and what you get is 476 solar years and you actually come all the way directly to the year 31 ad to the month of April to the time of Passover when Jesus entered Jerusalem do you understand God gave Daniel a far broader picture of what is going to happen to the people of Israel into the city of Jerusalem far beyond what he really had hoped he talks about the end of the exile God tells him up dealing with you at the end of the ex I'm giving you a much bigger picture that's why I sent Gabriel to talk to you to give you an understanding because it's a little bit complicated now it's interesting because we must try to understand where are we now in the timetable that Daniel received from the Lord take a look at this Daniel saw two different periods and he literally divided them he dealt first with the seven and the 62 which is the 69 and then he left at the very end of that prophecy the last week and the last week he speaks of what we call the rise of the Antichrist but in the first 69 weeks he saw of course events that will eventually lead to the coming of the Messiah his crucifixion therefore he's cut off and he's cut off for nothing that he really did wrong so take a look two mountain peaks right here and he literally separated them now Daniel is not a scholar Gabriel never attended the Baptist Seminary he gives him a message and what they understand is you know what they're being given two different things obviously the separation has to do with the fact that something is in between let me now on this chart give you the events of the past present and future so let's put it on what we see in the red is Daniel seventy weeks but then you see that right there when Messiah was cut off and then resurrected and then ascended to heaven Jesus in the light green ascended to heaven then he sent down the holy spirit and we start a period of what we call the church era in which we live right now we live in the valley between the mountains you understand that and it goes all the way and you can see down below that the church is here and the Holy Spirit is here I hope it's here the Holy Spirit was given to us the minute um you know that the disciples were in one Accord in Jerusalem in the upper room if you remember that now up until then the address of the Holy Spirit was heaven Street chapter number three paradise the Holy Spirit changed address came all the way down and now people are no longer having the Holy Spirit upon them they are sealed with the Holy Spirit so different no David in his time as a king could have the Holy Spirit but the host could leave him that's why he begged God do not take your Holy Spirit from me it's a valid prayer in those days but now as believers not only that we receive that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit now we the Holy Spirit as long as the church is here is with us but then what happened the Bible says that the day will come and prior to the appearance of the Antichrist in 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2 the thing that will cause him to really appear and show his true face is the fact that the restrainer is being removed out of his way and we believe that the restrainer being the Holy Spirit is taken and then we obviously the Temple of the Holy Spirit will be taken to the clouds Jesus comes to the clouds we go up to the clouds and we eight in the clouds how about that Christ returns the sea people mix the second coming with the rapture these are two different things Christ first comes for the church and the meeting point is in the air and then Christ comes with the church and the meeting place is of course on Mount of Olives so we see that there is the two mountains the Daniel could see and remember Daniel is not speaking about you about the Gentiles what is he talking about seventy weeks have been determined or decreed for your people and your city he's speaking about Israel the focus was was on Israel if you remember that and then of course the focus is now changing for two thousand years God gave you the opportunity to get to know the Lord and become believers and then the time will come we're out of here and the focus will be shifting back to Israel throughout the tribulation and what is the purpose of this revelation remember it says seventy weeks are determined for what for your people and your city what to finish the transgression to make an end for sin to make reconciliation of iniquity to bring everlasting righteousness to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy very very interesting because if you really think about it the first three are fulfilled in the first coming of Jesus but the second is fulfill in the second coming of Jesus it's just that angel just gave him everything and then he'll solve everything but we must remember that this is exactly what many prophets did in the past that's what Reverend Clarence Larkin saw and actually put a beautiful diagram of what we called the mountain peaks of prophecy I don't know if we have the chart of that one but the mountain peaks of Bible prophecy is basically you see you're talking about the main events but all that you see is the peaks you cannot see the valley that is in between so he was speaking about that which will be established in the first and that which will be established in the second one but of course that is what it happens so just like the first 69 years or 69 weeks the last week is also all about Israel you have to understand dice the Gentiles were received 2000 years and the time of the Gentile is about to come in the Bible says I say then in Romans chapter 11 I say then have they stumbled that they should fall certainly not in verse 11 and then in verse 12 he says through their fall did you the people of Israel to provoke them to jealousy salvation has come to the Gentile and I their fall is riches for the world and their failure riches for the Gentiles how much more their fullness is going to be in other words he's leaving the door open for the Jewish people it's not the end it's not replacement theology Church did not replace Israel God is not done with Israel if God has done with Israel then he changed his mind and if God changes his mind he might change his mind about you and me children saying in verse 13 ACEF I speak to you Gentiles in as much as I am apostle to the Gentiles I magnify my ministry he by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh save some of them for if they're being castaways reconciliation to the world what will their acceptance will be if not life from the dead and in verse 25 says for I do not desire brethren that you should be ignorant of this mystery lest you should be wise in your own opinion that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in and then all Israel will be safe this is time for the Gentiles but that time is going to come in there will be fullness of the Gentiles that sit no more then God will move back to deal with Israel and yes it will be very unpleasant because there will be a time of testing and they will have to decide if they are following the wrong Messiah or the right one and those who will follow the right one will flee from the wrong one and then he will come back and get them according to Isaiah 63 from Basra and bring them all the way back and he will come back and they will see the one whom they pierced the Bible says and they will look at him and they will mourn and they will cry and they will receive him you understand that we are looking into a prophecy that basically says to the whole world today your days are numbered God is going to deal once again with Israel now you already started the average age here is about 25 am i right so most of you most of you never really see you know don't remember the days before Israel was established as a stick I'll tell you something guys for almost 2000 years the Jews were out of their land and that valley that we talked about as a church age it was a desert for the Jewish people and out of the blue he spoke fertility to the land in the late 1800 in Ezekiel 36 he says and I speak to you mountains of Israel should bought your branches and heal your fruit for my people is well for they are about to come and then he saved the remnant from the Nazis and then he brought the remnant back to the land which he healed prior to the return and then in 1967 he gave them back to Jerusalem to their hand God started dealing with Israel in the physical realm the next is we're out of here and he will deal with them in the spiritual one he says first I'm going to bring them back then I will pour my spirit upon them so you see we are on the very verge of being out of here because he already started dealing with them the door is about to be closed the fullness of the Gentiles about to be fulfilled these are exciting times don't look so depressed we're going to change address soon we're not of this world are we we are citizens of the heavenlies it hurts me to see that so many Gentiles actually wants to become Jews the Bible says that through their fall in order to provoke them to jealousy salvation is given to the Gentiles so many Gentiles are being provoked by the Jews to jealousy in one become Jews you don't need to we don't need more Jews in fact you are so privileged because if ninety percent of people of Israel are not priests you are being given now the status of what priests every Jew should be jealous at you so it's time for us to understand that God is in the business of fulfilling his promises not just to the people of Israel but also to the family of God Jesus said I'm not going to leave you as over I'm going to kick I'm going to send the Holy Spirit and then he said I will come back and receive you unto myself so wherever I am you are going to be also and the day is approaching so I want to challenge you this morning are you ready the 70th week is around the corner the valley has been long traveled through we are at the very end and from this point on is going upwards are you ready is your life reflecting someone who live worship serve the Lord are you the wise virgins that have oil in their lamps are you the people that jesus said he's coming back he wants to find us doing his business or are we just dealing with our own business are we just doing whatever we want see God gave America I believe a time of grace as a nation and I believe individually he's speaking to so many people around the world right now I get thousands of emails of people receiving visions and dreams from young ones through the old one about the very soon return of Jesus Christ we must understand that we cannot say we didn't know he gave those words to the prophet Daniel more than 20 2500 years ago he gave those words through Jesus himself 2,000 years ago and he gave us the Holy Spirit so we can look into the Scriptures and instead of having our own interpretation which is not interested in understanding that God is in the business of preparing the church to be taken I say I always tell people we live in the days of the Feast of Trumpets I believe that at the last trumpet we're out of you at the last one but God commanded Moses to have two silver trumpets I believe that these are Israel and the church and for the first time since 1948 both of them exist as long as Israel existed as a nation in the past there was no church and for the last two thousand years over the church of us there was no Israel back in their land and only since 1948 the trumpets are being sound are sounding their sound Israel is back in the land Jerusalem back in our hand and the last trumpet we're out of here the Bible says are you a trumpet because if a trumpet makes an uncertain sound who will prepare for a battle so I challenge you this morning as we wrap it up in light of the prophecy of Daniel and in light of what we're going to hear in the coming message about gog and magog i want to challenge you search through your heart this morning and if you're not ready you don't want to leave this place today without the assurance not only of your salvation but of your soon gathering to be with the Lord and meeting in the air thank you god bless [Applause]
