<TITLE>04. Par 28-35</TITLE>L-28 Now, while in studying the Scriptures, he seen that the seventy years was run out, so him being there sixty-eight years left two years in the future until God would restore His people back to their homeland.
While in prayer we find out that there was a mighty Angel came from heaven. Can anybody call his name? [Congregation replies, "Gabriel."--Ed.] Gabriel. And he is the Angel to the Jewish church. How many knows that? Everywhere it's Gabriel. Gabriel is the messenger to the--the Jewish church, came to Mary; he came to Zacharias. Always it's Gabriel. And he's one of the great Angels of heaven.

L-29 And did not he bring our Brother Daniel such a wonderful salutation from God? "Oh, Daniel, greatly beloved." Wouldn't that make you good to think that God loved you? If I wasn't greatly loved, I'd just like to know that I'm kinda loved a little bit up there, wouldn't you? Sure. Just kinda be--it... He thinks of me once in a while... It'd just make me just want to scream to think that He even cares for me. And we have the assurance that He does care for us, because while we were yet sinners, Christ died in our stead, brothers. And now--which we were alien from God now has made us nigh unto God and has given us the Earnest of our salvation, that is, the Holy Spirit, and with a faith in there that lifts us up above the things of the world, and we ride over the top of it. That's glorious, isn't it? All right.

L-30 While in prayer, Gabriel come and told him that there was not only two more years before they were going back to the homeland, but told him the entire destination of that nation. Think of it. The entire destination, every journey of earth, Gabriel explained it to Daniel. Said he was sent to tell Daniel this great thing. How that prophet must've felt. And he told him that there were seventy weeks determined upon the people unto the consummation; that's the end time, till it's all over, the consummation. He said, "There's seventy weeks."
Some of them allows that to months, some to days, some... If it's just actually weeks, there's only about two and a quarter year--or one and a quarter years of it. And see, you... There's where we got to find to be truthful.

L-32 "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people." For what purpose? For what? Whose people was it determined upon? Daniel's people, the Jews. And what was it determined for? Upon not only Daniel, but upon Daniel's holy city (See?)--Daniel's holy city. Now, class, what was Daniel's holy city? [Congregation replies, "Jerusalem."--Ed.] Jerusalem.
And now, we're going to take, maybe get to it tonight, where was Jerusalem? Who founded Jerusalem? Did you ever think of that? Who founded Jerusalem? When was it founded? We're going to get to it after while. Who founded Jerusalem? Boy, it's a little bitty thing hid back in a corner, but it sure tells it. Yes, sir. Who founded Jerusalem, and when was it founded? All right, and that's Daniel's holy city.

L-34 And we do understand that that city which is now been a curse for two thousand years will be rebuilt and re-established again, and the temple worship will be set up just like it was in the beginning. That's right. Jerusalem will be. Now... And there'll be a sacrifice, daily oblation, offered again just like it was in the beginning. We're going to get into most of that, I guess, tonight, or a lot of it.

L-35 Now, I want you to know, friends, that striking on these things, I'm certainly leaving out weeks of teaching, but just kinda hitting it so that when the weather cools off or a little later when we get into those Seven Seals, Seven Vials, Seven Trumpets, all these things, that I can refer back and say, "Do you remember on the Seventy Weeks of Daniel? Do you remember the church age when it went up and what taken place?" And these seventy weeks of Daniel covers from the going up of the Church until the coming back of the Church. That space is what it covers. Now... Now, not all seventy weeks of Daniel, part of it.
