The Seventy Weeks

There are men who spend their lifetimes seeking to prove that the Bible is not all that it purports to be. Their whole premise for their doctorates are trying to take some aspect of the Bible and show that it isn't all that it claims to be. One of the favorite tactics of these men are to take the various books of the Bible and to try to prove that they are not written by those authors that they claim to be written by. And the book of Daniel has come under this cloak of what they call "higher criticism," as there have been many who have tried to prove that the book of Daniel was not really written by Daniel. And one of the basic premises for their proof is that it would be impossible to describe with such accuracy events that had not yet taken place. One of the most remarkable prophecies in the bible, is this prophecy of Daniel in chapter 9. Its an amazing prophecy that really needs to be carefully studied on regular basis prayerfully. To me, it is the prophetic outline that can give insightful revelations to the end of time and serves as a roadmap in our pursuit of attaining the glorious promise of the Lord. It keeps us focus and vigilant in every area of our existence, creating in our mind the reality that we are just at the crossroad of the end of time. Our awareness and consciousness of the return of the Messiah, will be of effect and authentic when we stay tuned to the words of this prophecy of Daniel. Not only does it takes us to the Messiah's appearing but its also the prophetic outline which entails the characteristics of an intercessor.
