The Bible is a Love letter to you from The Creator of all Universes, who made all things from nothing by speaking Creation into existence.The Bible is Divinely inspired by God, and Jesus and The Holy Spirit. This is proven by all the many fulfilled prophecy’s. “We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:” (2Peter 1:19).The Bible is a collection of 66 books written by Prophets and men of God and scholars over a 1600 year period. There are 39 Books in the Old Testamate. and 27 in the New Testamate. The Old Testamate was originally written in Hebrew, the New Testamate was originally written in Greek. The Old Testamate was Translated into Greek in 250 B.C. Under the reign of King Philadelphus of Greece, it is called the “Septuagint” which is an Historical Fact taught in all Universities and Bible Colleges. The New Testamate was translated into English in 1611 under the reign of King James of England by 70 Scholars who took 10 years and accomplished this great feat. It was during a time when Heretics were burned at the stake, so they we’re very very careful not to make any mistakes from the Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic (the language which was widely spoken in Jesus’s day) into the English language at a time when it was at it’s most perfect and beautiful state. The Bible says “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” (2Peter 1:21).

The Lord gave us the Bible as a guide thru life. “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” (Psalms 119:105). The Bible is an amazing, powerful, Spiritual Book, you can read the same passages over and over many times and the Lord will speak new Revelations to you every time you read it. You have got to get alone with the Lord and your Bible in a quite place and pray before you read it and ask Jesus to reveal his truths to you, if you really want to get the most out of reading God’s Word. “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” ( Psalm 46:10). Listen to the Lord’s still small voice. Try not to interrupt him. ” And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: and after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. ” (1 Kings 19:11-12). If you really study the Bible you will see that it is like a great puzzle that fits together with other different books in The Bible. The Old Testamate is the New Testament Concealed, The New Testamate is the Old Testamate revealed. The main theme of the Old Testamate is the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. The main theme of the New Testamate is the Revelation of Jesus Christ and what he did and what he taught. The Bible will make you wise, and fulfilled, and happy when we obey it. “If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.” (John 13:17). The Bible will feed your spirit. The Bible is an accurate History Book, of truth and spiritual wealth and encouragement and will bring you victory over evil and the devil. The Bible is your Spiritual armor to fight the devil and his lies. “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12). The Bible teaches the True Age of The Earth, and historical events. Don’t neglect reading it every day, The Bible will bring you health, life, light and spiritual wealth. It makes the Lord happy when you read it and share it. “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” ( 2 Timothy 2:2). “Open thou mine eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of thy Law.”(Psalms 119:18). The Bible is the Word of God and it will open your spiritual eyes, so you can see what is really going on in this dark evil world, run by the devil himself. “And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him, “GET THEE BEHIND ME, SATAN: FOR IT IS WRITTEN, THOU SHALT WORSHIP THE LORD THY GOD, AND HIM ONLY SHALT THOU SERVE.“(Luke 4:5-8). “The Bible is the most priceless possession of the human race.”

The Bible is,

BASIC INSTRUCTION BEFORE LEAVING EARTH

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

I never have been much of a pain person or one who could take a lot of pain. I guess most of us are like that too. How about you? The Bible talks about pain. “For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;” (Philippians 1:29). “though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;” (Hebrews 5:8). Think of the pain that Jesus endured for us to be saved and healed by his stripes or whippings. “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” (Isaiah 53:5). If we can’t handel the daily pain and suffering we have to deal with now. Then how are we going to make it when things really get bad? “If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? And if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?” (Jeremiah 12:5). “confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.” (Acts 14:22). The Lord gives us grace for the trial at the time it is needed, not before or after. Even though it may seem unberable just cry out to Jesus with all your heart and he will help you. “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13). Jesus suffered and died for us, “And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.” (Luke 9:23-24). Remember they that bare the Cross shall receive the Crown, no Testimony without a Test. No Triumph without a Trial, no Victory without a Battle. God created feelings of pain to help get us to repent and turn to him through Jesus Christ his Only Begotten Son. Sometimes fear of pain will help us to do the right things that are good for us and keep us in line on the straight and narrow for our own good. “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matthew 10:28). If you have children you know what I mean. My Dad used to tell me: “You Better Straighten up and Fly Right.”

Many of the people of God through out time have had to endure sufferings and persecutions and pains. Isaiah was sawn in half. READ Hebrews Chapter 11. God’s Hall of Fame Chapter for people of God who endured pain and suffering for the Lord. All the disciples were killed and tortured except John who the Romans tried to boil in oil, but he wouldn’t boil. So they stuck him on the island Patmos in prison where Jesus came to him and gave him the Book of Revelations. Even Peter was crucified up side

down when he told the Romans that he was not worthy to die like his Lord Jesus did.

NOW I’M NOT TRYING TO START A SELFRIGHTOUS WORKS DOCTRINE TO BE SAVED BY SUFFERINGS, BUT TO GIVE YOU ENCOURAGEMENT THAT YOU CAN MAKE IT THRU FAITH BY GOD’S GRACE AND HELP. IT WILL BE WORTH IT ALL WHEN WE SEE JESUS. “And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. “ (Acts 5:41). I would rather suffer from preaching the Gospel then suffer for my sins.

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

MARK 4: 1-34

1 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land. 2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine, 3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: 4 and it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. 5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: 6 but when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. 9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. 11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: 12 that seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. 13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? 14 The sower soweth the word. 15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. 16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17 and have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended. 18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19 and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. 20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? 22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. 23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. 25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 27 and should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. 29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? 31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: 32 but when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. 33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it. 34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

WHICH OF THESE DESCRIBES YOU?

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

There comes a time in all Christians lives when it is time to move on forward to the next grade. “When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” (1Corintinans 13:11). You can’t stay in Kindergarten all your life. So Lord willing we will be putting all the teachings in “Answersintheword.com” into different levels of understanding, such as New Converts and Babes to Advance teachings for Leaders and teachers. As Jesus said; “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.” (John 16:12). “as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:”(1Peter 2:2). There is the milk of the Word for babes new born into God’s family, and there is the meat of the Word, which is to hard to chew and digest for babes. So that is why we will feed the sheep in this way. For all who wish to read the radical eye opening, shocking truths of the Word all you have to do is request and it shall be given to you after you have completed all of the milk of the Word and have grown to want more. “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?” (Psalms 42:1-2). “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled” (Matthew 5:6). You can’t live on a little teaspoon of the same food every Sunday morning. So dive into the crisp, clean, and clear waters of His Word and enjoy. “CAUTION” “Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.” “My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.” (James 3:1)

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

The Bible tells us to not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you as though some strange thing has happened to you. The fact is life is full of trials and tests. They can make us bitter or better. Sometimes we may be tempted to just harden our hearts or run away, but that’s not the answer. I know the answer, because I know the answer man Jesus Christ and if we run to him we can find help and grace and comfort and strength. Jesus was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. He weeps for us and the lost. God knows we should be passing a few tests and making some progress. Thank God we aren’t saved by how we handle life’s problems and our trials, and tests, but they are sent for a purpose. All things work together for good for them that know the Lord. Romans 8:28. Sometimes we may feel like we are in a boxing ring, and we keep getting hit with these knock out punches. Well, are you going to pull yourself up and get back in the fight before the bell rings? Or are you going to throw in the towel and quit? God help us and he will. The Lord wants to make a real fighter in the spirit out of you. A real solder of Christ Jesus. From reading the scriptures it not going to get any easier. The Bible tells us that in these end times things will get worse and worse, but then they are going to get better and better to. So, the more Word we have living in our hearts and the more Holy Ghost power we have the easier it will be for us. Jesus never promised us a bed of roses, but he did promise us a battle, and roses have thorns. For if I never had a problem, I’d never know my God could solve them and I’d never know what faith in God could do. Sometimes Gods idea of strength is when we’re on our knees or our face crying out to him. It seems as though there is always someone who is worse off than we are and who needs to know the Lord and his love. If we would pour ourselves into his service of helping others to know Jesus, our problems won’t seem so bad. the best cure for personal problems is the battlefront. If you feel like throwing your life away why not throw it away into Gods service and do some good for others? I was going to tell you about all my problems and ask for your prayers (which we still really need), and the Lord gave me this. Praise His Name! (Matthew 9: 36-38)

You Can Lead A Horse To Water But You Can’t Make Him Drink !!
Many are called but few are chosen, because few chose to be chosen. All we can do is tell people what Jesus tells us to tell them. It’s up to each individual person to make up their own mind what they are going to do with the truth they hear, as each of us must give an account to the Lord ourselves of what we do and even say on our watch. You can’t help stubborn people who don’t want to be helped, whose minds are already made up and they don’t want to be confused with the facts. You have to go on with the Lord and where he is leading you, and don’t let people drain your energy and time. “But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; “(Titus 3:9-10). “And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.  And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:59-62).     “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.”(Matthew 7:6). Sometimes real Love is to just put people into the Lord’s hands and pray for them that they will listen to the Lord, and ask the Lord to work in their lives and hearts, and go on for Jesus.

PLEASE SAY THIS PRAYER TO BE SAVED:

Dear Jesus, I want to know you and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I believe you are the Only Begotten Son of God, and you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Savior. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

Please check out this web link for really good information about the history leading up to the time when Daniel received this prophecy in Daniel Chapter 9 from the angel Gabriel.

Verse 1) IN the first year of Da-ri’-us the son of A-has-u-e’-rus’ of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chal-de’-ans; 

 Verse 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 70 years in the desolation’s of Jerusalem. Daniel was reading the prophecy of Jeremiah in Chapter 25:11 “And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon 70 years.” Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the Temple in 586 B.C. Daniel received this prophecy in the first year of Darius the king of the Medes in 536 B.C. Daniel was a prisoner of war. He realized from reading the prophecy of Jeremiah that the end of captivity for the Jews was coming soon. The Jews went into captivity from Babylon in 586 B.C. and were released in 516 B.C. 70 years later.

Verse 3-19) And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: And I prayed unto the Lord my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; We have sinned and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments: Neither have we hearkened unto to thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whether thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee. O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee. To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against him; Neither have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets. Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him. And he has confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem. As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth. Therefore hath the Lord watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the Lord our God is righteous in all his work’s which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice. And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten the renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly. O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us. 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. O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolation’s, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for  our righteousness, but for thy great mercies. O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, harken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city, and thy people are called by thy name.

Verse 20-23) 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 show thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. The Prophet Daniel prayed a powerful heartfelt prayer to the Lord and took upon himself to represent his people Israel, and ask for God’s forgiveness for all the people of Israel. God sent Gabriel who also announced the birth of Jesus Christ to give him this following very important message and prophecy from God.

If you can understand this class on this chapter on Daniel 9 and teach it to others, then you have opened perhaps the greatest mystery treasure in God’s Word, and proved you are a real follower of Jesus Christ! Congratulations! “And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God:” (Mark 4:11a).

Daniel Chapter 9:24-27 Part 2 video&text (The Last 7 Years Chart)

Please check out this web link for really good information about the history leading up to the time when Daniel received this prophecy in Daniel Chapter 9 from the angel Gabriel, and to the time when the commandment was given to restore and re-build Jerusalem under the reign of King Artaxerxes when this amazing prophecy began.

Verse 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 Angel Gabriel tells Daniel that there will be 70 weeks for Daniel’s people the Jews, and Jerusalem, to end sins, make reconciliation for iniquity, establish everlasting righteousness, and seal up, ( or finish) the vision and prophecy, and to anoint Jesus the most Holy King in Israel. The word “WEEK” comes from the Hebrew word “Shabuwa”, which means a period of seven years. This Bible verse found in Genesis 29:27 makes this point clear “Fulfill her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years. And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.” So you see how a week is seven years. 70 weeks therefore means 70×7 = 490 years. So the Angel tells Daniel that the Jews have 490 years to stop sins and anoint Jesus Christ the most Holy, as their King at Jerusalem.

Verse 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. The Lord wants you to understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem, which was given in 457 B.C. by king Artaxerxes of Persia that there would be a time period of 7 weeks or 49 years ( 7 X 7= 49), and three score (a score is 20, and three score is 60, or 3 X 20= 60) and two weeks. This brings us to a total of 69 weeks, or 7 + 62 = 69, or 483 years which is 69 x 7. In other words the Angel Gabriel tells us in his message from God that there would be a time period of 483 years from the time that the commandment went forth to restore and build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince. The word Messiah in Hebrew means “the anointed one”. In Greek it comes from the word “Krisos” which means “Christ”. What happened exactly 483 years after the commandment was given by king Artaxerxes of Persia to restore and rebuild Jerusalem? Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, and the heavens were opened and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove, and landed on Jesus. “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 3:21-23). This is when Jesus was anointed by God to begin his public ministry. This is when he fulfilled the Prophecy of the Anointed One, the Messiah. This happened in 26 A.D. This is truly an amazing prophecy, predicting the exact year when Jesus was baptized and received his anointing to begin his public ministry as the Messiah, The Son of God, to die for our sins.

Verse 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 desolation’s are determined. It is interesting to note that verse 25 and 26 talk about the 69 weeks broken up into two parts, seven weeks, and 62 weeks, for a total of 69 weeks. This is because it took 49 years (7 weeks, or 7 X 7, or 7 Shabuwas) to rebuild the street and the wall of Jerusalem during very troublous times when the Jews enemies were trying to destroy them. Read the Book of Nehemiah for a good understanding of the history of this time period. Jesus the Messiah was crucified in 30 A.D., after the seven and 62 weeks which ended in 26 A.D. when Jesus was baptized and anointed by God to be the Messiah to begin his public ministry and die for the sins of the world. “but not for himself” he died for us. The people of the prince that shall come (notice the small “p” on prince) is talking about the anti-christ, in specific here it is talking about the Romans who are part of the devil’s people (the people of the prince that shall come) who have been around ever since Cain killed his brother Able. The Romans destroyed the city and the Temple in 70 A.D. When Titus the Roman General attacked Jerusalem and crucified around a million Jews, as Jesus predicted would happen.  “The end thereof shall be with a flood”, this is referring to the great amount of Roman soldiers that destroyed Jerusalem, and up to the great amount of soldiers of the anit-christ during the end times “and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid”. (Psalm 18:4b). “Unto to the end of the war desolation’s are determined.” This is talking about the spiritual war that we fight everyday against the devil and his demons. There will be great destruction’s and desolation’s until the end of the war when Jesus takes over the world.

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 the oblation to cease, and for the over spreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Here is the last seven years, or 70th week. The “he” that shall confirm the covenant is talking about the anti-christ, or “the prince that shall come” in verse 26. A covenant is some sort of an agreement, or peace treaty that will allow the Jews to rebuild their temple and re-Institute the daily sacrifices, since they don’t believe in Jesus and accept him and his forgiveness for sin. Therefore they are bound by the Old Testament laws of animal sacrifice for atonement for sins. The anti-christ will confirm this covenant. This event will start the last seven years. In the middle of the last seven years he will take away the daily sacrifice and place the abomination of desolation, until the wrath of God is poured out upon his followers and the devil is thrown into the bottomless pit and bound and chained for 1,000 years, and the anti-christ and the false prophet are thrown into the Lake of Fire.

“And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?  And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:  thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.  And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.  And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;  and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.  And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.  And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt. And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.  And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.  And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.  And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On bare unto him.  And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.  And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended. And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.  And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.  And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.  And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.”(Genesis 41:37-57)

1944 B.C. Joseph sold into slavery ( 17 years old).” Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.”(Genesis 37:28)

Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

The people of UR of the Chaldeans lived in beautiful and comfortable two-storied homes of about fifteen rooms. The kings of Ur were buried with all of their belongings, including their oxen, furniture and helpers. It seems that their servants took poison or breathed some gas and died in the tomb with their master.

Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed about 2112B.C. In 1924, Albright and Kyle, Discovered the ruins of cities at the southeast corner of the Dead Sea. It Seems that a tremendous number of people once lived there in a very fertile “garden-like” region which is now only desolate. These archaeologists tell us that for some reason the population seems to have suddenly “ceased” about the year 2000 B.C. ! (Genesis 19: 24,25) The historian Josephus claims that even in his time, in the desert region on the Southeast side of the Dead Sea there was a pillar of salt which had the features of a human which had been there for centuries. ( It still stands!) (Genesis 19:26) Jack Finegan, an American Scholar, in 1951 concluded that the cities of this region ( Sodom and Gomorrah) were destroyed by a great earthquake which was accompanied by volcanic explosions, lightnings, and great amounts of burning natural gas that was released from the earth at that time, about the year 2000 B. C. Potiphar- the name of the rich officer that bought Joseph- means “the fat bull”. When Joseph became the ruler he married the daughter of Poti-pherah the priest , which means ” he that scatters or demolishes the fat”. Under Joseph’s rule this is exactly what he did to all the “fat” landlords and rich of Egypt. After 7 years of famine the people of Egypt were reduced to the level of serfs in feudal subjection to Pharaoh to whom they had given their every belonging- gold, silver, jewels, cattel, lands, and even freedom- in exchange for the food Joseph had laid up. Pharaoh became the absolute owner and ruler of Egypt through Joseph’s administration. The Egyptians were moved off the farms and into the cities. Pharaoh gave the Hebrews control of his personal flocks and herds- which soon turned out to be most of the livestock of Egypt as the famine grew worse! ( Genesis 47:13-26) The Egyptians Historian Manerto wrote, ” In the reign of Tutimaeus it happened. I do not know why God was displeased with us. Unexpectedly from the East, came men of unknown race. Confident of victory they marched against our land. By force they took it, easily, without a single battle. Having overpowered our rulers they burned our cities without compassion, and destroyed the temples of the gods. All the native s were treated with great cruelty for they slew some and carried off the wives and children of others into slavery. Finally they appointed one of themselves as “king”. It is believed that these ” Shepherd Kings” were in power when Joseph came to Egypt. These Hyksos were the first to bring fast chariots to Egypt and used them in public ceremonies. Joseph was “viceroy” of Egypt and rode in the chariot behind Pharaoh. ( Genesis 41:43) The seat of the Hyksos government was in the delta,as was the ” Land of Goshen”.
