<TITLE>05. Par 36-40</TITLE>L-36 "Seventy weeks are determined." Now, there was a six-fold purpose in his visit, telling him what was going to come to pass. Now, there was a sixfold purpose of his coming. Now tonight, I think we'll leave off over here in the Scriptures of where that we was at this morning, where that there was a sixfold purpose. Here we are. Now, we find out that there was the sixfold purpose. One of it... Now, let's get the 4th chapter--or 4th verse--24th verse of the 9th chapter of Daniel.
And seventy weeks are determined upon thy people... (Now remember, that is all that the journey of the Israelites will have in this earth. They are determined... Seventy weeks is just determined. That's all that's 'lotted to the Jews.)... upon thy people and upon thy holy city,... (Therefore, this seventy weeks... Now, don't miss it. It will reveal from that time to the end of the Jews and also to the end of Jerusalem, until there'll be a new city built. Now... Oh, I hope we get into it real good and deep tonight.)... are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city,... (What to?)... to finish the transgression...

L-37 What did he tell him now? He was trying to find how long it's going to be. "I know we're at the end time (like we are now), Lord..."
How many in this class tonight believes that we are at the end time, say "Amen." [Congregation replies, "Amen."--Ed.] Thank you. We are at the end. Now, we're trying to find, by God, just how long that's going to be. What day are we living? That's why we're going back and picking up these prophets and so forth and trying to find out where we are. And that's what Daniel did. He set his face to God.

L-39 How many read Daniel 9 today? Raise up your hands. All right. You see his prayer, how he made his confession of his people and his confession of himself. He wanted to be sure that he found out when they were to go back, because he wanted to get the people ready to go back. Now, what I'm trying to do, is find out when we're going up, and get the people ready to go up, that we're ready? And we've set our face to God through prayers and supplications to find out, "Lord, what's the hour we're living in?"

L-40 We've seen all these different things happening; we see the world in chaos. We see the time at hand; the handwriting's on the wall, everything that God said... We hear our President speaking of another war right now coming. We hear predictions that within, oh, within a few hours after war is predicted, that nations will be nothing but volcanic dust. And we know we got it. So we know before that takes place the Church has got to go. So Lord, where are we at? That's the reason I believe that He'll let us know. We've set our faces to find out. Now, first, let's find out.
Seventy weeks are determined on thy people... thy holy city, to finish the transgression,... make an end of sin, and to make reconciliations for iniquity,... to bring in everlasting righteousness,... to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
That was the sixfold purpose of the visitation of Gabriel. Now, let's start number one. If you want to mark it, you that's got pencils. Number one: To finish the transgression. That's the first thing.
