As always my many thanks to the Author and his Publisher.(John B).
Psalms 32:1 "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered."
NOTE(IB): Please understand, that none can "Transfer" their sins,and still keep them!
This chapter features Christ as the Mathematician, and will, present even more evidence of the perfect wisdom and knowledge of our God, and His love and care for each of us WHY??
Romans 5:8 " But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Now about that?
Mathematics, the most exact...science known to mankind! It is the tool we shall use, to present, to Y O U, dear reader, as we explore one of the most evidence ofj and for the perfect wisdom of our God, and His loving-watch-care, for us all. We shall prove and explore one of the most profound prophecies in the Bible. We shall establish by Mathematical proof that Jesus was, and still is the Messiah, The Anointed One, and, The Holy One of Israel, the Savior of this world. This proof has its foundations in Bible Prophecy and events relating to the Sanctuary service.
Who would dare to predict what will happen one year from now? Or even a week, or a day? Concerning the events that shall take place on this earth? Yet it was the Word of God, The Holy Bible, boldly predicted, nearly 500 years in advance, the exact year when Christ would begin to cleanse the Sanctuary in Heaven, before He returns to take His people home!
W e shall begin in Daniel the 8th chapter. Here Daniel is given a vision of shall take place at a latter date.We will read from his account, of how the Angel was commissioned to explain every detail of this vision, so that he might fully understand it......
Daniel 8:14 " And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed."
Note(JB): Daniel knew the Old Testament very well, and he knew that Israel was getting close to her 70 years of captivity in Babylon, so you can know the reason that Daniel was troubled! Notice....
Daniel 8:16 " And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision."
Daniel was so overwhelmed, that he fainted 8 :17,.....
Daniel 9:19-23 " O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name. And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God; Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision."
Then the Angel Gabriel, returned {did you notice that when Daniel prayed, that the order was given, to the angel to have his fully understand all this?) The He began to explain this vision of the 8th Chapter.
Daniel 9:24 " Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy."
Please make note, of the first two words SEVENTY WEEKS,. This is measurement of time. agree?
Thus Gabriel continues: Seventy weeks are determined upon they people.... This refers to the time when Israel was indeed God's chosen people, as they were placed at the THEN cross-roads of the known world, thus able to show God's Grace to all, but they did not share the Word with others! This dealt with the nation, and....."Determined upon thy people, and upon thy holy city ..." This was the Jews and their capital Jerusalem..
Please know the Hebrew word "Determined", in the original Hebrew, means to "Cut-Off". In other words the seventy weeks are a part of, a segment of the total 2300 days., which we3re allotted to the Jews.... T^o what end?
Read again 24th verse.... to finish the transgression, and MAKE AN END OF SINS...or they would be CUT-OFF.
REMEMBER? Luke 13:35 " Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord." [Matthew 23:38] The Jews today still reject Jesus as the Messiah, but the Messianic Jews WHO "Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord" There's no more salvation in NATIONALITY, NOR HERITAGE! Only in Christ Jesus.
Now we must turn to mathematics, for our first math problem. We have 2300 days, and from this number,as a total, we must subtract 70 weeks, but wait! So we must use numbers that are equal in value, and change the weeks into day, knowing that 7 days a week makes thus 70 weeks x 7 days = 490 days which must be subtracted from the 2300 days. 2300 - 490 = 1810 days, as the remainder of the Prophecy.
Now you can see that the 2300 days were divided into two unequal sections of time. The first section, 490 days were allotted to the Jews, The second section os 1810 days were allotted to the Gentiles...
NOTE(JB):...." Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles."
This was the and still is the Jews , and every one's free-will choice!
This exercise in math will allow us to discover the the year of the "Cleansing of the Heavenly Sanctuary's" beginning!
However we are still in need of two pieces of information, the actual time frame of a prophetic day, PLUS the exact staring date. A Prophetic day ids a year, of 360 days in the Jewish calendar, that they came from Babylon with. The Word gives us this requirement as well.....
Ezekiel 4:6 "And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year. "
Numbers 14:34 " After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise."
NOTE(JB): This was their punishment for disobedience, and they spent the next 40 years wandering in the wilderness, until all but two people had died.
Thus by the Word, a day for a year is used only in prophecy. Therefore 2300 days are 2300 years, so this first 490 years is for was for the Hews to stop sinning. The remainder 1810 years for the Gentiles, and the beginning the cleansing of the Heavenly Sanctuary. However we still need to have a beginning or a starting date, right? As the 2300 years has no meaning until we know the beginning date, agree?
Daniel 9:25 " Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times."
We learn that this decree, to rebuild both the Jerusalem and the Temple, in Ezra 6:14...
Ezra 6:14 "And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia."
From man's historical records, we know these three kings ruled and that clay tablets have been found and translated we know this date was the year of 457 B. C. (Before Christ) Can this be so?
Ezra 7:12-28 "Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect peace, and at such a time. I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and of his priests and Levites, in my realm, which are minded of their own freewill to go up to Jerusalem, go with thee. Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king, and of his seven counsellors, to enquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thine hand; And to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem, And all the silver and gold that thou canst find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem: That thou mayest buy speedily with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meat offerings and their drink offerings, and offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem. And whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren, to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do after the will of your God. The vessels also that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, those deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem. And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure house. And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily, Unto an hundred talents of silver, and to an hundred measures of wheat, and to an hundred baths of wine, and to an hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much. Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons? Also we certify you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, singers, porters, Nethinims,[ temple servants] or ministers of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them. And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that is in thine hand, set magistrates and judges, which may judge all the people that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye them that know them not. And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment. Blessed be the LORD God of our fathers, which hath put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem: And hath extended mercy unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king's mighty princes. And I was strengthened as the hand of the LORD my God was upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me."
Note(JB)" POur Creator leaves us with, all we need, in order to know, all we need to know! Did you catch the fact, that Babylon supplied the resources and the materials need to rebuilt it all? God will take care of you and me!
Now that we know both the time and the beginning, we can do more simple math, right?
Daniel 9:25 " Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troubled times."
WE have: 7 weeks + 60 weeks + 2 weeks = 69 weeks
69 weeks X 7 days in a week = 483 days/years.- 457 date of decree=26 + 1* + 27 A.D.
* plus 8-9 months since the decree was issued in the fall of the year, and Jewish reckoning that any part of a day, or a year was counted as a whole day or year.Know there is not a year in 0-1, from B.C. to A.D.
So what occurred in the fall of 27 A.D.? Jesus was Baptized and began His 3.5 years of ministry!
Matthew 3:13-17 " Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
Noye(JB): John the Baptist, recognized he was in the presence of a Holy One, and shrank from grating the Baptism, declaring that he himself is in need of Jesus baptizing him! Then the Holy Spirit is used within John, who then shouts:..
John 1:29-30 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. "
The bold letter part, had to come from God, agree? How could John have known that Jesus was eternal, otherwise?
John then leads Jesus to the river Jordan,, and "BURIES" Jesus under the water, and brings Him back up, out of the water. {No Sprinkling here!)
Luke 3:21-22 "Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased."
Luke continues on with the ancestral blood line of God-Man Jesus. It is from His allowing Himself to be born of a woman, that Jesus became a flesh-man, who was still also God! Thus also why He Jesus, is called God's Son, just as we are Sons and Daughters of The Father-God! After this Anointing and the 40 days spent in the wilderness being tempted by Satan, Jesus began his work in the fall of 27 A.D.JUST AS PROPHECY INDICATED! The year? 483 time frame was fulfilled, in the fall of 27 A.D.
Mark 1:15 "And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel."
The words" The time is fulfilled.." , tells us that He Jesus knew all about the prophecy of Daniel, and why not? For it He Himself, through the Angel Gabriel, that had instructed Daniel, that it would be i n 69 weeks after the decree that He would commence His work, and preach "The Time is fulfilled".
Yes, we have Mark 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.e many who have claimed the power to know the future, and many have had a little success. However if Y O U and I each make say 1,000 predictions, we'd both guess right at about the same rate sway 3 percent, which is around the same success rate of humans. God's hitting a 100 percent! And on time as well!
We are now, in this study, at 27 A.D. which brings us to the end of the 69 weeks, leaving us with one more week, or seven years! We just can't forget about it, or to put it in another time frame now can we, if we do so, are mixing apples and oranges, ands calling the results a banana, which is in total error! Agree?
Lets read Daniel 9:24's "70 weeks are determined upon they people..." and then verse....27 "...and HE shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease."
Note(JB) Confirm the Covenant, There had to be a NEW Covenant, a new CONTRACT between Heaven and mankind, as with His death the animal sacrifices and the feast days, were now come to the fulfillment in Jesus' death and resurrection. This is the LAW that was NAILED to His Cross, the Ceremonial laws! NOT THE TEN PILLARS! All who teach we are not under the Law but under Grace, teach a DISGRACE!
Now when we cut a week, or in this prophecy, a period of seven years, in half, what's the results? Two periods of 3.5 years agree? Remember one day for a year?
Notice Daniel 9: 26.. "...And He shall be cut-off, but not for Himself..."
Even the Roman Governor, who sentenced Him to die said, I find no fault in Him" [ John 19:6] Thus He was CUT-OFF, but not for Himself, friend, but for Y O U and me.
Can Y O U, dear reader, not help but see the great love Heaven has for us all? Remember Jesus chose to become the Lamb slain, before the foundations of this earth were lain, therefore both Jesus and The Father-God lived with this knowledge for 4,000 years before the fact! THINK on this!....
Isaiah 53:4-6 " Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all."
NOTE(JB): Have Y O U friend, not ever read, that at His death, at 3 in the afternoon, it turned dark, as if midnight, and the vial of the Temple was rent from top to bottom, by an unseen hand? That signalled that all in prayers, could come before God in Christ Jesus, right to the Throne of Mercy. The Temple priests quickly sowed it back together again! Thus then and now many continue to deceive us from the Pulpits, and why we have 1,000's of so-called "Christian Denomination! " Men want to do this MY WAY! Read Genesis 2:1-3 and Exodus 20:8-11, 31:17
Luke 4:14-16 " And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read."
JOHN 14:15 "If YOU love me, obey my commandments! {Christ's words!} The Sabbath is the SEVENTH DAY, for it is HIS Memorial to us for His creation week! But the men in Rome has other ideas! We did it MY WAY!
Remember this passage? John 19:30 "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."
What is the IT? That part of of the overall prophecy is come to pass, as written, thus finished! We have established that He was Baptized in 27 A.D. Thus 27 + 3.5 days/years = 30-1/2 years or Spring of 31 A.D. for His death.
What happened other than His death on the cross, as per the Word? The Veil was ripped from the top to the bottom by an unseen hand, signifying that the earthly sacrifices no longer had any meaning. The sacrifice of the Lamb of God was completed and it was finished.
Mark 15:37-39 " And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God."
NOTE(JB): Remember Christ died at the 3rd watch or 3 P.M. and at His cry, it became totally dark and a earthquake at the same time, no wonder why the Roman soldier said what he did!
Look, for some 1,500 years, the Jews had faithfully been offering lambs for sacrifice morning and evening. If they had only bothered to study the Word, that was given to them, they'd known all this, even to the very year,, the month, and date day and even the hour when Christ ended His sacrifice with His death, of the flesh part of Him! BUT NO! Even 300j years latter, they put a curse an anyone who did figure the numbers in Daniel! A curse in the most vile words they had.
However this brings us to explain all but the remaining, 1810 years, from the original 2300 days/years.
Therefore... 34 A.D,i n the fall, + 1810 = 1822 A.D.
This, then brings us to what took place within the Heavenly Sanctuary, and not the earthly one, which many used, but the earthly Sanctuary was destroyed by Romans in 70 AD. and will NOT ever be rebuilt, Period!
Dear reader, remember the original Pass-Over? During the Egyptian captivity? Remember, the 10th and final plaque? Death to every First born? What did God tell the Israelites to do? To tale a spotless lamb, kill and eat it, but use its blood to paint with it over the doors, of their homes, be be inside, while God sent his death Angel to strick all first-born life forms!
Well guess what period it was when Christ's blood was shed> Pass-Over week! There are no accidents nor co-incidents in God's Word!
Now at Christ's return, the Second Coming, the Death Angel shall onc3e more do his work, upon all who disbelieve, or reject Jesus, no matter how much blood they paint around their doors!
It was also the Seventh-day Adventist "Great Disappointment," because they had not, at that time considered the ORIGINAL TABERNACLE, BUILT WITHOUT HANDS! IN HEAVEN.
What men have since learned, is that it was in 1844, in the fall, that Jesus our High priest, entered into the Most Holy of Holies compartment, and there began the work of Judging all the dead, and to cleanse the Sanctuary from all their transferred sins! All the sins that were and are still being recorded in the Books of Heaven..
If through Christ's righteousness our lives have been prepared through repentance, confession and surrender of our will, so that we are declared right with God The Father, at the Judgment, this final atonement will be made for your and for me.
