24 “Seventy ‘sevens’[c] are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish[d] transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place.[e]
I enjoy reading the prophesies and seeing how they have played out over time. Admittedly I with the time I am dedicating to it, I am really just relying on others research and slant on the fulfillment of the prophesy but I still like seeing how God has woven together all the elements of his word through time. Though we humans will lack full understanding until the day Jesus returns we can still take a lot of strength and faith of its total perfection based on those limited observations that can be made to demonstrate how he has been true to his word over time.
here is one linik to some timelines contained in Daniel 9

Numbers numbers. I am intrigued by it, but not smart enough to figure it out. This is the portion of Daniel that DaVinci was obsessed with. He spent a lot of time trying to figure out what all these numbers mean.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fairly obvious nod toward the future messiah. I'm not sure what the other prophesies mean around it, but I think the part about the coming messiah is the key.
The thing that strikes me about the prayer that is written down, is that Daniel spends much of the time humbling himself before God, telling him how small he is compared to God, and how great he KNOWS God is. I think that is a smart way to approach God. Humble yourself before any requests from him, or anything.
I seem to be thinking non-linearly today. A little scattered.
