An Amazing Time Prophecy
12. How can we tell Jesus was the Messiah?

• Luke 2427
• And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets He
  expounded unto them in all the scriptures the
  things concerning himself.
• Ans. By studying the prophecies about Him.

Bible prophecy confirms that Jesus was the true
Messiah. Over 500 years before Jesus was born of
Mary, Daniel was given an amazing prophecy which
predicted the exact year Jesus was to appear as
the Messiah. Lets study this amazing prophecy!
21
13. When did this prophecy begin?

• Daniel 924-27
• 24. Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people
  and upon thy holy city, to finish the
  transgression 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

22
14. When was the Messiah to appear?Daniel 925

• 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.

23

• Note
• Time in prophecy is symbolic. God says in Ezekiel
  46, we are to count each day for a year.
  Therefore, 69 prophetic weeks equals 483
  prophetic days (69 x 7 483) or 483 literal
  years.
• See also Numbers 1434.
• For the decree see Ezra 4 7.

24
15. Did the Messiah Appear 483 Years After the
Decree?

• Jesus appeared publicly as the Messiah exactly
  483 years later on the day of His baptism in A.D.
  27.

25
15. Did the Messiah Appear 483 Years After the
Decree?

• Note Messiah is Hebrew for Anointed and
  Christ is Greek for the same. Though Jesus was
  the Son of God He was not the Messiah or
  Anointed One until He was anointed by the Holy
  Ghost at the time of His baptism, Acts 1038.
  Luke 31,3 says this event took place in the 15th
  year of Tiberius Caesar, which (historically) was
  in 27 A.D. See also Luke 321-23.

26
16. What Did Jesus Preach After His Baptism?

• Mark 114,15
• 14. Now after that John was put in prison Jesus
  came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the
  Kingdom of God, 15. And saying, the time is
  fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand
  repent ye, and believe the gospel.

27
17. How Much Privileged Time Did God Promise The
Jews?

• DANIEL 924
• 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.

28
18. When was Jesus to be crucified?Daniel 926,27

• Daniel 926,27 says Jesus was to be cut off in
  the middle of the last, or 70th week. One half of
  7 years is 31/2 years. Add 31/2
• years to the fall of 27 A.D. and you reach the
  spring of 31 A.D., when Jesus was crucified.
  Jesus caused the sacrifice and the oblation to
  cease because He, as the Lamb of God, was slain,
  and His death on the cross made animal sacrifices
  no longer necessary. (See 1 Cor. 57)

In the midst of the week.
29
19.To What Prophecy Did Jesus Refer in Mark 115

• The time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God is
  at hand
• The sixty-nine weeks prophecy of
• Daniel 925

30
19. To What Prophecy Did Jesus Refer in Mark
115? (contd.)

• The prophecy in Daniel 924-27. Jesus began His
  earthly Ministry with the clear awareness that
  the time predicted had arrived and His ministry
  of 31/2 years was to be climaxed by His being
  cut off (John 219) or crucified, and that not
  for himself, but for you and me.

31
20. Was Jesus Death For Everyone?

• 1 John 22
• And He is the propitiation for our sins and
  not for ours only, but also for the sins of the
  whole world.
• Answer Yes.

32
21. Why Did Jesus Die Upon The Cross?

• John 316
• For God so loved the world that He gave His only
  begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him
  should not perish, but have everlasting life.

33
22. Will you accept and serve Jesus as Lord and
Saviour of your life?
YES! YES!!
