DANIEL THE PROPHET – LESSON 6
THE SEVENTY WEEKS
In chapter nine of Daniel, God sends Archangel Michael to tell Daniel of God’s planned timeline for mankind. It is a 70-week plan. Each week is interpreted to mean one year; Bible scholars are in universal agreement on that. The only other part they agree on is what the 70th week represents. There is not universal agreement on everything prior to that 70th week.
The 70th week of Daniel 9:27 represents the seven years of the Great Tribulation with the Antichrist taking worldwide rulership with a peace agreement for all nations. The temple in Jerusalem has been rebuilt and the daily sacrifices resumed at the start of the Tribulation. Halfway into the seven years, the “man of peace,” a/k/a/, ”the man of sin” or “Antichrist” breaks the peace, desecrates the temple, and violently persecutes the Jews and all followers of Jesus Christ. That is the seventieth week when coupled with the Book of Revelation.
In Daniel’s time the 70 weeks represented the 70 years of Babylonian captivity. As he read the writings of Jeremiah, which had reached him in Babylon from his homeland Judah, he understood that it meant captivity would end at 70 years and they could return back to Jerusalem. That is exactly what happened as indicated in verse 24.
Starting from verses 25-26, it speaks prophetically into the future about 7 weeks, then 62 weeks, a total of 69 weeks of years (483 years). This part can be very confusing and difficult to properly interpret. Many scholars have interpretations about that timeline, including how to cover a huge gap in time. I will make no effort to try to explain it as their interpretations do not necessarily ring true to me. The Holy Spirit has given me no more clarity on it than those scholars put forth.
Verse 27 speaks of the tribulation that “shall make desolate, even unto the consummation” of the tribulation. That it will “consummate” means that time of trouble will end. The return of Jesus is the reason it ends as it consummates in Armageddon.
It was never God’s intention to give every detail in prophesy. Man craves detail and that is the reason for so many various interpretations. God gives us just enough detail so that when it unfolds before our eyes, we can have that moment of “Aha! So that is what it meant!” We see the details in retrospect, not in advance. However, we are given enough that by faith we will have “hope” in the future.
“God has a plan, and I know it’s good for me!” His plan and purpose will be fulfilled.

RANSOMED
When Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, they lost their right to have dominion over anything. Satan moved in and took control over them and over the earth. He caused their first-born son Cain to have a heart that turned from God and killed his own brother Abel. Upon being confronted by God as to Abel’s whereabouts, he said, in Genesis 4:9, “…Am I my brother’s keeper?” It wasn’t that God didn’t know what had happened. I honestly believe God asked this question so Cain could confess his crime and perhaps receive restoration for his sin. Instead, he had no remorse. Abel’s blood cried out from the ground, and it caused Cain to be immediately judged by God. He would be cast out and become a vagabond and a fugitive.
Every sin that is committed is or will be judged by God. Have you ever told a lie? How many lies does it take to be a liar? How about this, have you ever stolen anything? Even picking up a penny that doesn’t belong to you makes you a thief. It tells us in Romans 6:23 that “for the wages of sin is death…” The wages, or earnings for sin, is death. Death in the flesh means separation from the body eternally. Death spiritually means separation from God for eternity. Both physical and spiritual death bring separation.
The first to die spiritually were Adam and Eve when they sinned. God told them when they ate of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil that they would surely die. (Genesis 2:17.) They didn’t drop over dead physically when they ate of it, but the spirit of God departed from them immediately. The physical death came too, but it came after many years.
God created us to live forever. Mankind’s fall through Adam’s sin brought death to each of his offspring, including you and me. The only way back is to have your spirit born again and that can only happen when sinless blood pays for your sins. We don’t have sinless blood because the scripture tells us this in Romans 3:23 “that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” No one can make it to heaven because of that sin. Yet, God had a marvelous plan to ransom us back from Satan.
God the Father gave Jesus the Son as a ransom to pay for our sin. His sinless blood bought mankind back from Satan. It only comes as a free gift, but it has to be received by faith. Once we acknowledge our sin and know we need a redeemer, then we repent of our sin and invite Christ to redeem us back. When this happens, our spirits are born again, and we are no longer owned by Satan. Praise God. Romans 6:23 also says, “the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Jesus is the only way to eternal life. No one else ever had sinless blood to redeem us.
We don’t have to be like Cain and be a vagabond, wandering away from the God that created us. When we confess our sin, unlike Cain, we are restored to God and given eternal life. Praise God for his redeeming sinless blood. That is a reason to kick your heels up and shout Glory!

APOSTLE
JESSE GRIFFIN
From 2018
VISION DURING PRAYER
While in prayer with some covenant partners a vision began to form before me.
As I was looking at what was forming in front of me, I saw a single eye looking at me. It appeared as though the eye was looking through a wall. It was a single eye and all around it was dark.
Then I began to see pieces coming together. These pieces began to reflect more and more of what I realized was actually my face. As the pieces began to come together I realized it was a mirror I was looking at. When all of the pieces finally came together, I was in the mirror looking at myself.
The pieces though had been so broken and there were so many broken pieces that the vision was obscured. Even though I could tell it was my reflection, it was hard to tell in fullness.
I then began to see a polishing of the mirror and a mending of the broken pieces until the reflection became clear.
Now it could be clearly seen who was in the mirror.
I than began to hear the Spirit of the Lord say that He was bringing back the fragmented pieces of people's vision. There were assignments and plans from the Lord but because people's lives became so shattered and broken they could not clearly see what they were to be.
The enemy had worked so hard on so many individuals lives to shatter them that they were having a difficult time seeing clearly even what the Lord had called them to do.
I heard the Lord say very clearly say "I am bringing back all of the pieces of fragmented souls and the dreams that have been placed within them. That their lives are being polished and it will be clearly seen now who they are and what they are called to do."
Vision is now being restored.
Dreams are now being restored.
Identity is now being restored.
In His Love,
