Hey Lord do you hear me?
We have already seen the heart of a prayerwarrior in Daniel.
He makes his heart felt prayer know (read Dan9:17-19)
(Slide) Listen to your servant (v.17)
(Slide) Incline Your ear (v.18)
(Slide) Open Your eyes and see (v.18)
Open Your eyes and see (v.18)
(Slide) Hear, forgive and do not delay (v.19)
Do you ever feel like God is not listening to your prayers or doesn’t hear them?
Daniel did not have that issue, he knew God would hear his prayers and supplications just as we should know He hears our prayers.
In the O.T. God spoke ()
In the N.T. God revealed
Don’t grow weary in your prayer life, keep praying!
I.
The Listener of Prayer
(Slide) Before Daniel finished his prayer; God heard his heart cry.
What was Daniel doing?
(Slide) Praying and confessing his sin
(Slide) Praying in intercession for the peoples sin
(Slide) Praying, making his requests known to God
(Slide) Remind you of the N.T. passage we just read? - ?
God is concerned about His children and hear’s their cry.
He hears and He answers
(Slide) Sinlessness is not a condition for answered prayer.
(Slide)Gabriel shows up (as a man) - previously he appeared in his vision (Dan8:15-16) -when did he show up?
Immediately, see (v.23)
He was dispatched from God with a message, with an answer to Daniel’s prayer.
Why did he come?
(Slide) To give him insight
(Slide) To give him understanding
(Slide) Daniel was highly favored! - why?
Because of His faith!
The importance of the message is stressed (v.23) - TAKE HEED.
This is a time when Daniel had been reading Jeremiahs prophesy of the 70 years, and Isaiah’s prophesy about Cyrus now it is time for Daniel to gain new insight, new understanding to see things with spiritual eyes!
II.
Seventy Weeks
(Slide) There are different views on this passage, let me very briefly discuss
(Slide) 70 weeks apply to the time of Antiochus Epiphanies IV
(Slide) A forward look to the time of Christ and the events of the end
(Slide) Coming of Christ the end of sacrificial system and destruction of Jerusalem in AD70
(Slide) Non-millennial / Chronological view
(Slide) Degree given by Artaxerxes to Ezra to go rebuild city - 458BC
(Slide) 69 weeks would be 483 years bringing time to 25-26AD; which is about time of Jesus baptism
(Slide) 70th week, cut off half way (3 1/2 years) Jesus death on the cross
(Slide) 70th week other 3 1/2 destruction of Jerusalem under Titus -AD70
(Slide) What is necessary to pull from the passage is the things to be accomplished by the end of the 70 weeks.
(Slide) Transgression will be finished
(Slide) Sins will be brought to end
(Slide) Reconciliation/atonement for iniquity
(Slide) Everlasting righteousness established
(Slide) Vision/Prophesy sealed
(Slide) The Most Holy will be anointed
(Slide) So how is this fulfilled?
Jesus came and died for our sins (transgressions) - one sacrifice and it is done (Slide) ()
(Slide) Reconciliation has taken place to those who believe.
(Slide) ()
(Slide) Everlasting righteousness established (Slide) ()
(Slide) Vision and prophesy sealed up ( or ) - to bring to the fullness of the prophesy, completion, no more revelation needed.
The Most Holy will be anointed - () - This is easily illustrated at the coming of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost; the new temple is then in place
You are the new temple, but what about a place?
() - we enter the Most Holy place by the blood of the Lamb, God’s perfect sacrifice!
(Slide) The people of the prince (v.26) Let’s look at this for a minute.
(Slide) The Roman army under direction of Titus destroyed Jerusalem in AD70.
There you have the people and the prince.
(Slide) It does not make logical sense for 1st century Romans to destroy for a prince to come at some unknown date in the future.
(Slide) The flood, the war, the desolation - the judgment on Jerusalem that God used the people and the prince to destroy
(Slide) Firm covenant, can you guess the covenant in the last week?
(Slide) The covenant!
The everlasting covenant
(Slide) Sacrifices no longer needed at the death of Christ
(Slide) Sacrifices no longer possible after AD70
(Slide) The wing of abominations will come - Titus who will destroy Jerusalem
(INVITATION) So the question arises that if you have this view or a millennial view the end is still the same -JESUS, you must have Jesus.
Those who have Him, He has prepared a place for, those who do not chose Him there is a place prepared to, so chose wisely and no choice is a choice.
