Gails Beliefs

• The timetable is as I understand it.
• Our goal should be to recognize the approach of
  Daniels Seventieth week as it nears.

4
Scriptures to note before the beginning of the
week are as follows

• 1Thessalonians 520 Despise not prophesyings.
• John 13 All things were made by him and
  without him was not any thing made that was made.

5
The Christian Must Understand

• I Cor. 214 But the natural man receiveth not the
  things of the Spirit of God for they are
  foolishness unto him neither can he know them,
  because they are spiritually discerned.
• We should therefore know that the lost do not
  have access to the understanding of Gods Word.
• One reason why is as follows.

6
So What is the Reason

• Ro 123 For I say, through the grace given unto
  me, to every man that is among you, not to think
  of himself more highly than he ought to think
  but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt
  to every man the measure of faith.
• Therefore, only believers have the measure of
  faith, ala, the gift of the spirit. No unbeliever
  can understand Gods Word.

7
Should Christians Recognize The Approach of the
Week?

• Most would say that of that day hour we will
  not know! The Messiah comes as a Thief in the
  night.
• Lets Look at the specific scripture that is most
  used for saying we will not know.

8
1 Thessalonians 51-5

• 1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren,
  ye have no need that I write unto you.
• 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of
  the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
• 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety
  then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as
  travail upon a woman with child and they shall
  not escape.
• 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that
  that day should overtake you as a thief.
• 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the
  children of the day we are not of the night, nor
  of darkness.

9
Who is the Light?

• John 812 Then spake Jesus again unto them,
  saying, I am the light of the world he that
  followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but
  shall have the light of life.
• John 95 As long as I am in the world, I am the
  light of the world.
• John 1246 I am come a light into the world,
  that whosoever believeth on me should not abide
  in darkness.
• Jesus Christ, The Son of God, is the Light.

10
What Else do we know about the start of Daniels
week?

• The book of Daniel gives us a timetable about
  Messiahs return that we should consider.
• Isaiah gives us a timetable that includes a
  prophesy to look for.
• The Book of Habakkuk gives us a literal view of
  Daniels week.
• Matthew, in the Olivet Discourse, gives us
  information also.
• There are a multitude of others, but in the
  spirit of keeping this presentable will not be
  discussed.

11
Lets look at Daniel First!

• 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.
• 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.

12
Daniel (continued)

• Daniel 926 And after threescore and two weeks
  shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself
  and the people of the prince that shall come
  shall destroy the city and the sanctuary and the
  end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the
  end of the war desolations are determined.
• 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 the oblation to
  cease, and for the overspreading of abominations
  he shall make it desolate, even until the
  consummation, and that determined shall be poured
  upon the desolate.

13
Lets look at what Sir Isaac Newton said about
this prophesy.Born 12/25/1642 Died 3/20/1727

• Thus have we in this short Prophecy, a
  prediction of all the main periods relating to
  the coming of the Messiah the time of his birth,
  that of his death, that of the rejection of the
  Jews, the duration of the Jewish war where by he
  caused the city and the sanctuary to be
  destroyed, and the time of his second coming

14
Sir Isaac Newton (continued)

• We avoid also the doing violence to the language
  of Daniel, by taking the seven weeks and sixty
  two weeks for one number. Had that been Daniels
  meaning, he would have said sixty and nine weeks,
  and not seven weeks and sixty two weeks, a way of
  numbering used by no nation.

15
Did Titus, the Roman General Destroy Jerusalem?

• Titus, the Roman General, destroyed Jerusalem in
  70 AD. This did not fill all the necessary
  requirements of Daniel. In short there is another
  destruction yet to come.
• This prince to come will in fact be antichrist
  since he confirms a covenant with the Jews for
  peace and protection.

16
Doesnt Daniel give us a Timetable?

• As noted previously, Yes. But we must understand
  it!
• It is probably the same timetable, coupled with
  Jesus birthplace that led the Wise Men to
  Bethlehem. They knew about when and where.
• Micah 52 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though
  thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet
  out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is
  to be ruler in Israel whose goings forth have
  been from of old, from everlasting.
• Furthermore, Sir Isaac Newton has helped in
  understanding Daniels timetable. This timetable
  was given to Daniel by Gabriel, an angel of God.

17
Israels Sabbath Weeks

• There is a conflict in when the Sabbath Weeks
  begin and end.
• There are three different time tables.
• A brief example of this is that a Sabbath Week,
  by different Jewish Rabbis and Scholars, might
  start on Tishri 1, 1951, Tishri 1, 1952 or Tishri
  1, 1953.
• Only one will be correct by Gods timing. God
  will probably use the most popular, which is
  Tishri 1, 1952.
• Therefore, calculations can be off by as much as
  two years.

18
The timetable to the approach is

• The first hint was the proclamation from
  Artaxerxes of Persia to rebuild Jerusalem. This
  occurred on Nisan 1, 444 BC.
• The next Sabbath week started on Tishri 1,
  444,443 or 442 BC.
• Jesus was born in 2,3 or 4 BC.
• 62 Sabbath weeks and 6 years after the
  proclamation.
• The second proclamation was from the Jerusalem
  Post on January 23, 1950.
• A Sabbath week started later on Tishri 1, 1951 or
  1952 or 1953.
• 7 Sabbath weeks ended on Tishri 1, 2000 or 2001
  or 2002. So far, we still have a workable time
  but now we know it was not 2000!
• The fact that 7 Sabbath weeks ended in 2000 or
  2001 or 2002, then by applying what we know of
  the first coming, Jesus should call the first
  fruits before the summer solstice of 2008 or
  2009.
• This would be before the end of the 8th Sabbath
  week, which would end on Tishri 1, 2008 or 2009.
  This allows Antichrist time to confirm the
  covenant with Israel and the Palestinians for the
  Seventieth Week, which would start on Tishri 1,
  2008 or 2009.

19
So far, we have a workable time!

• The fact that 7 Sabbath weeks ended in 2001 or
  2002, then by applying what we know of the first
  coming, Jesus should call the first fruits before
  the summer solstice of 2008 or 2009.
• This will be before the 8th Sabbath week is
  complete later that year and give antichrist time
  to confirm the covenant with Israel.

20
Lets Further Look at The Olivet Discourse.

• Matthew 2432 Now learn a parable of the fig
  tree When his branch is yet tender, and putteth
  forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh
• 33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these
  things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
• 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall
  not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
• 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my
  words shall not pass away.
• 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no,
  not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

21
The fig tree is another indicator as to the
approach of Daniels Week

• Please note the previous scripture said the
  generation would not pass. (Maybe just a few
  left.) Consequently, this scripture does not tie
  down a 40 year or a 70 year period which are both
  commonly assumed to be a generation. The 70 year
  generation is still tenable with this
  understanding.

22
Isaiahs clue to the approach

• Isaiah 17 1 The burden of Damascus. Behold,
  Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it
  shall be a ruinous heap.
• 2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken they shall
  be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none
  shall make them afraid.
• Damascus will be destroyed.
• But is it still a city today? The prophecy is
  that it would cease from being a city. Is this
  still in the future? I THINK SO!

23
Isaiah gives us yet another clue to the approach
of Messiah

• The first 6 verses of this chapter give us an
  overview of Daniels seventieth week.
• It starts with the destruction of Damascus and
  before the first fruits rapture.
• The first verse has been fulfilled once already
  but unfortunately, not totally.
• Matthew 518 For verily I say unto you, Till
  heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle
  shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be
  fulfilled.

24
Isaiah gives us yet another clue to the approach
of Messiah (continued)

• Isaiah 173 gives us another major event.
• The Scripture is (Isaiah 173 The fortress also
  shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from
  Damascus, and the remnant of Syria they shall be
  as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the
  LORD of hosts.)
• The question is What is the fortress?

25
So, What is the Fortress?

• I think it is either one or two things, even
  though it is not plural.
• The first fortress for consideration is The
  Bride of Christ the first fruits of the church
  of Christ.
• The second fortress for consideration is The
  controlling influence of the Holy Ghost on earth
  being lessened.
• Could both be the fortress?

26
Britannica Comments on Damascus

• A quote from The Britannica Encyclopedia is
• It is thought to be the worlds oldest existing
  city.
• The question is Does the Assyrian invasion in
  732 B.C. fulfill the Isaiah 171 statement of
  Damascus taken away from being a city and
  becoming a ruinous heap?
• The answer is NO!

Another clue to the approach

• Matthew 244 And Jesus answered and said unto
  them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
• 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am
  Christ and shall deceive many.
• 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of
  wars see that ye be not troubled for all these
  things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
• 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and
  kingdom against kingdom and there shall be
  famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in
  divers places.
• 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

30
Signs of Jesus Approach

• It could be said today that never in the history
  of the world has there been as many Nations in
  conflict as much as right now.
• There seems to be more natural disasters than in
  the Past. One on top of another. Hurricanes,
  Tsunamis, Floods, Earthquakes Volcanoes.
• Pestilence is beginning. Bird Flu, Aids. Mad Cow,
  you name it.

31
