of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans; 2. In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. 17. Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake. 18. O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies. 19. 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. 20. ¶ 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; 21. 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. 22. And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. 23. 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. 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. THE SIX FOLD PURPOSE OF GABRIEL VISITS TO DANIEL to finish the transgression to make an end of sins to make reconciliation for iniquity to bring in everlasting righteousness to seal up the vision and prophecy to anoint the most Holy. To finish Israel's transgression. What is a transgress? It's to go against something. A transgress against me is to do a wrong to me. Transgress against you is do a wrong to you. So Israel did a wrong to God. And in this seventieth week, what's going to happen? God is going to finish the transgression of Israel. 1. ¶ I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2. God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, 8. (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. 11. I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. 12. Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 15. For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? 17. And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18. Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19. Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 20. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21. For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 22. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 23. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. 24. For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? 25. For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. Put an end to sin. What is sin? Unbelief. They did not believe that was the Messiah. They could not see Him to be Messiah, yet He done every sign the Messiah was supposed to do. But they could not see it. They were blind. Matthew 27:21-27
21. The governor answered and said
unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. 22. Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. 23. And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. 24. When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. 25. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. There's where they done it. He was making a end of sin for them. How could He do anything else but forgive them, knowing that He had to blind their eyes that we could come in. It's like His own children calling for His Blood. And they were blinded, and He knowed they were blinded. That's the reason He cried for forgiveness for them: "Forgive them, Father, for they don't know what they are doing." They were blind. For our sake they were made blind. In their unbelief they did this. But when they see Him again... Amen. In their unbelief... But when they see Him, when He comes again, it will make an end of their unbelief Make reconciliations for sins and to make--reconciliations for iniquity, uncleanliness. Oh, my. They did that what was evil, that which was wrong. Reconciliations was made for their iniquity. 6. And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. 7. ¶ Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. Make an everlasting--bring in everlasting righteousness. Satan in the bottomless pit... And when He does that, and seals up the devil which has deceived the people...
14. For the earth shall be filled with the
knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. 1. ¶ And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. Now, we're going to... I want you to catch this, because when we bring that woman and the dragon cast out, you're going to come right back to this same Scripture again. Be sure to put It down. When Israel's transgression has come to an end, Satan, who is their accuser and our accuser, Satan will be sealed up in the bottomless pit. When what? When bringing in everlasting righteousness, something that cannot end. All because unrighteousness will be done away with. Number five: To seal up the vision and prophecy. The Angel come to seal the vision and prophecy. 106 How in the world could that have been when Titus took the walls of Jerusalem? How could it have been? It couldn't been. See, he's speaking of the end time at the resurrection. Is that right? Now: And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn away--that turn many to righteousness as... stars for ever... Listen. Here it is, the real true sealing. But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end:... What is the most Holy? To my way of seeing it, which I believe I can prove it by the Scripture, is to anoint the most Holy, which will be the Tabernacle that'll be used during the millennium (Now listen, and see why I get it) described in Ezekiel the--the 4th chapter the--no, I mean, the 43rd chapter 1st and 6th verse. Let's go back to Ezekiel and find out how he's--pictures in the millennium, how they will anoint the... Ezekiel 43, and let's just read a little bit here now and see what he's going to do in this millennium, anointing... Ezekiel 43 (All right.) and now, let's begin with the 1st to the 6th verse. You can read the whole thing after you get home, of course, you that's putting it down, Ezekiel 43. Afterwards.. 70 WEEKS PURPOSES 25.

If any of you want to put that down, in the Hebrew you'll find it called N-i-s-a-n-Nisan, which means "March." The issue was given on the 14th day of March, B.C. 445--the issue went forth to build-- rebuild the temple. You understand it, as you people have read the Scriptures then. Until it was completed, it taken forty-nine years to complete the temple and the city--to rebuild it. WMB.
