Comparing Scripture with Scripture to see the woven prophetic tapestry take shape

 

 

Please take the time to read through these passages and notice the specific patterns that are brought forth.

 

Nu 33: 1 These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.

2  And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys according to their goings out.

3  And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.

4  For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.

5  And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.

6  And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness.

7  And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pihahiroth, which is before Baalzephon: and they pitched before Migdol.

8  And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.

9  And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched there.

10  And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.

11  And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin.

12  And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah.

13  And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.

14  And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink.

15  And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai.

16  And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at Kibrothhattaavah.

26  And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.

27  And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.

34  And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.

35  And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Eziongaber.

36  And they removed from Eziongaber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.

37  And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.

38  And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month.

39  And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor.

40  And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.

41  And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.

42  And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.

43  And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.

44  And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ijeabarim, in the border of Moab.

45  And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad.

46  And they removed from Dibongad, and encamped in Almondiblathaim.

47  And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.

48  And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.

49  And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth even unto Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.

50  And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,

51  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

52  Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:

53  And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.

54  And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.

55  But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.

56  Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.

 

 

 

Dan 12:1  And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

Isa 26:20  Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

21  For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

Jer 30:7  Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.

Mat 24:21  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

 

Isa 24: 1  Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

2  And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.

3  The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.

4  The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.

5  The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

6  Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

7  The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh.

8  The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.

9  They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.

10  The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.

11  There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.

12  In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.

13  When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.

14  They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

15  Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.

16  From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.

17  Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.

18  And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.

19  The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.

20  The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

21  And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

22  And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.

23  Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.

 

Zep 1: 2  I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD.

3  I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD.

4  I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the priests;

5  And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by the LORD, and that swear by Malcham;

6  And them that are turned back from the LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor enquired for him.

7  Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.

8  And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD'S sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.

9  In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit.

10  And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.

11  Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off.

12  And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.

13  Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.

14  The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.

15  That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,

16  A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.

17  And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.

18  Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

Eze 7:19  They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

 

Dan 8:24  And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.

25  And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

Dan 11:36  And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.

 

Zec 13:8  And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.

9  And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.

Rev 11:2  But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

Psa 79:1  <<A Psalm of Asaph.>> O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.

Isa 63:18  The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

 

Rev 11:3  And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

Rev 6:12  And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

 

Mal 4:5  Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:

6  And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Dan 7:21  I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;

Rev 11:7  And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

9  And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

11  And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

Dan 12: 6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?

7  And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

Rev 12:6  And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

Rev 12:14  And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

Dan 7:25  And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

Rev 13:5  And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

Rev 14:9  And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

Rev 14:10  The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

Dan 11:33  And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.

34  Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.

35  And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.

Luk 4:25  But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;

Jas 5:17  Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.

Dan 11:31  And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

Dan12: 11  And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

Mat 24:15  When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

16  Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

17  Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

18  Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

19  And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

20  But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

21  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Mal 3:1  Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

2  But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

3  And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

4  Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.

5  And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.

6  For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

Mal 4:1  For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

2  But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

3  And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.

Lastly let us compare these set of verses.

 

Dan 12:24  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.

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.

26  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.

Joh 5:30  I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

31  If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

32  There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

33  Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

34  But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

35  He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

36  But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

37  And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

38  And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

39  Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

40  And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

41  I receive not honour from men.

42  But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

43  I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

44  How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

45  Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

46  For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.

47  But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

 

 

We can clearly see that there are two definitive sides of the seven year tribulation spoken of in the above several Scripture passages. Following them carefully will bring us to but one conclusion.

 

There has been much speculation about the final week of Daniel’s 70weeks prophecy. Most claim that the final 70th week is yet to be fulfilled, and they see that the seven year tribulation is the fulfillment of the 70th week. We do not adhere to this popular teaching and the above Scripture patterns prove to us why we believe what we have come to know in our spirit.

 

There is indeed a covenant decreed for seven years as pointed out in the Daniel 24:27, but hold on...

 

The prophecy is clear to say that 69 weeks will pass unto the Messiah which was a huge clue to Israel because they knew Daniel’s 70weeks prophecy. Jesus was sent to His own by God the Father, and His own did not receive Him.

 

Jesus was presented to IsraelJesus was cut off - fulfilling 3.5 years of the final 70th week. When the one who comes in his own name, promising Israel one week, they will believe the promised Prince has come to them. Not my words, the words of the Lord. “I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.” I don’t know what the entire one week covenant will entail but we do know the Jews begin sacrificing animals because the Scripture tells us that the one who comes in his own name shall in the middle of the week cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease.

 

There has been teaching that this portion of Scripture speaks of Jesus confirming the covenant and Him causing sacrifice to cease, and in fact this is true. However we must consider and compare much Scripture to arrive at the common thread that reveals the prophetic tapestry.

 

Jesus came to fulfill what is written about the last week of Daniel’s 70weeks prophecy which God had made between Himself and with Israel (thy people). We have written elsewhere that all of God’s covenants are everlasting and binding. When Jesus came to fulfill what is written about the last week, He came to confirm what Daniel spoke of Him, but He also came to fulfill the everlasting blood covenant between Him and the Father. Those observing, those looking unto the Messiah believed that when Messiah came He would establish the kingdom of God on earth.  They knew of the 70weeks prophecy and they knew how to count Sabbatical years. They did not understand that Jesus must be cut off to confirm the everlasting blood covenant. However, Jesus was crucified and He was cut off in the middle of the last week of Daniel’s 70weeks prophecy, thus leaving the remaining 3.5 years of the last week suspended. Jesus finished the transgression, and made an end of sins, and made reconciliation for iniquity, and brought in everlasting righteousness, and He sealed up the vision and prophecy, and He anointed the most Holy place when He presented His shed blood to the Father, beyond the veil of the sky in heaven.

 

The religious Jews killed Jesus in the middle of the last week of God’s binding 70weeks prophecy to Israel as spoken by Daniel.

 

Jesus said that He came in His Father's name, and they received Him not. He went on to say that if another should come in his own name, him they would receive. Well, guess what, another will come in his own name and will confirm the covenant for one week. What covenant will he confirm to the Jews for one week? I think you are seeing the counterfeit pattern. Jesus was not received when He came to fulfill Daniel’s final one week – but the man of sin will be received when he confirms the one week covenant with Israel. The religious Jew will welcome this one who comes in his own name – this one who let’s them begin animal sacrifice (probably on the Temple Mount), believing him to be the promised Prince of Israel. The Scripture goes on to say that this one coming in his own name (is not cut off) in the middle of the week as Jesus was, but this other one shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease (in the middle of the one week covenant), and that for the overspreading of abominations. He shall make Jerusalem desolate, even until the end of the week, and that determined shall be poured upon Jerusalem.

 

Jesus came to confirm the everlasting blood covenant by dying on Nisan 14, but He also came at the very time spoken about Him to fulfill what Daniel penned in Chapter 9. Jesus had a covenant with the Father to die in order that He might finish the transgression, and make an end of sins, and make reconciliation for iniquity, and bring in everlasting righteousness, and seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy place. The everlasting blood covenant was completed when Jesus died, was buried, rose again, and presented His shed blood to satisfy the Father.

 

The last point in Daniel’s prophecy is speaking of presenting His blood to the Father.

 

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 place.

 

Remember what Jesus said to Mary?

 

John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

 

Jesus needed to present His blood beyond the veil before He was touched.

 

Later we find Jesus asking His followers to touch Him, thrust your hand in My side. Jesus was the atonement for our sin and He needed to go beyond the veil to present His shed blood on the altar in heaven. See Leviticus Chapter 16. Jesus is our high priest who once and for all presents His blood for whosoever will.

 

The Jews that believed in Jesus as the promised Messiah desired that His coming would usher in the promised kingdom, but this did not happen because Jesus must be crucified (cut off) to fulfill the everlasting blood covenant, and also to fulfill: “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 (69 weeks): the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks (69 weeks) shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself:” Jesus, Israel’s Messiah, still under the Law of Moses came to Israel to not only initiate the last week of Daniel’s 70weeks prophecy but to also die a sinner’s death for whosoever will.

 

Heb 13:20, 21 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

 

Jesus shed His blood; the Father raised Him from the dead.

 

 

The man of sin comes in his own name to confirm the covenant with Israel, I believe the counter of the 70th week of Daniel, and I also believe the land of Jerusalem is involved. This other one will be received by the religious Jews and by the majority of Israel because they will be desperate for peace and security. In the middle of the seven years (one week) this man is taken over by the beast and seats himself in the temple as God.

 

I am not going to rewrite on those things that we have covered many times but I did want us to recognize the patterns of the Lord and the counterfeit of the one who comes in his own name.

 

I began this article with Numbers 33 showing how Israel pitched camp 42 times when they left Egypt on Nisan 15. I believe that the  mention of the 42 specific camps made by the Israelites are a direct shadow and type of the 42 months when they will be hidden away in the wilderness while the one who comes in his own name – now under control of the beast is reigning upon the earth.

 

We have been praying that the Holy Spirit would confirm something new in our spirit. I gathered the many verses and passages above yesterday; this morning the Holy Spirit opened my understanding. For me this is new thought that to my knowledge I have never written on before. I speak often of the mirror image and this is yet another of those mirrors; this one week that the man of sin confirms is counter to the prophetic one week that concludes Daniel’s prophecy. I know that there is a great deal more that has not been revealed but if the Lord shows us something further we will be adding as it is made known.

 

God bless each of you who are watching with us for the Lord to call for the resurrection of His church body. Once we are called, the remaining 3.5 years, or the second half of Daniel’s 70th week can continue and the confirmed false week of the man of sin can commence.  Can you see where the first 3.5 years of the false one week covenant runs parallel with the promised last 3.5 years of the real one week prophecy? And can you see that the last half of the 70th week of time, times, and a half of time is the same time allotted for the two witnesses to prophecy for 1260 days upon the earth? And can you also see that the last half of the false one week is the 42 month reign of the beast that runs parallel to the time that the remnant is hidden in safety for 1260 days?

 

Because Israel as a nation rejected the promised Prince – they must experience great trouble for the remaining 3.5 years of the prophesied 70th week. I personally believe that the remnant does not recognize the Prince, Yeshua haMachiach until He conquers their last enemies at the battle of Armageddon. They know they are being protected by God, but I don’t believe they know that Jesus is the promised Messiah as yet. They may have intellectual faith when they flee to safety but I don’t believe they have heart faith yet. I believe they fully perceive who Jesus is when He comes to them to bring them from their safe haven. I believe it is then that He removes their heart of stone and gives them a heart of flesh to believe in His everlasting blood sacrifice. I believe it is then that they will be given sight to apply saving faith in the Messiah. I believe it is then that He will write His laws upon their hearts to obey. I believe it is then when saved Israel is enabled to say, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.”

 

Confirming Scripture:

 

Romans 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

 

Isa 66:8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

 

Isaiah 10:21 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.

 

Jeremiah 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:

33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

 

 

There are many who do not understand God’s Sabbatical cycles – but He does, and you can be sure that His clock runs by them and His prophecies will be fulfilled on them. We desire that there be no confusion regarding the Sabbatical cycles.

 

A Sabbatical is seven years.

 

Daniel’s 70weeks prophecy is based on Sabbatical cycles.

 

Seven weeks i.e. 7x7= 49years

 

Sixty two weeks i.e. 62x7= 434years

 

…and lastly

 

One week i.e. 1x7= 7years

 

When we add them up 49+434+7 we get 490years

 

…or

 

7weeks+62weeks+1week = 70weeks

 

49years|434years|7years = 490years

 

7 weeks|62 weeks|1 week = 70weeks

 

All of the above can be divided evenly by 7. When a Jewish year divides evenly by 7 that particular year is the year of the Sabbatical. For instance 5768 divides evenly by 7 therefore 5768 is the next Jewish seventh year, or the Sabbatical year.

 

Jesus fulfilled the first half of the final week when He came to Israel so there is just one half of the final week to be fulfilled. However, the man of sin will counter the 70th week when he confirms the covenant with many for one week – but he will break the covenant in the middle of the week. It is then that he is taken over by the beast and will rule on earth for 3.5 years as the final beast empire. The first 3.5 years he is doing peaceful works in order that Israel is living in some semblance of peace and security.

 

3.5+3.5=7.0years or 1 prophetic week.

 

Like we said earlier, there is so much more to learn from the above passages, but for now be blessed in what we have tried to present thus far. I know that my faith has been stirred to new hope through putting this offering together. We trust the Holy Spirit will quicken that which is in accordance to the Word of God to your spirit as well.
