<TITLE>06. Par 40-43</TITLE>L-40 Now, we know that in the Book of Daniel here, where we've been reading... We'll just read again because it's His Word. In the 9th chapter of Daniel, 24th verse...
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression,... to make an end of sin, 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.
(Twenty-fifth verse:) And know therefore and understand, that from... (Now, that's what we've been speaking on, and we ended up on that last Sunday night, "anointing the most Holy." Here's where we begin this morning on the 25th verse.)
And therefore--know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem... (That's "My holy city." See?)... unto... Messiah the Prince shalt be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: and the street shall be built again, and the walls in--even in troublesome time.
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 great floods, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
And... (Now, remember, that's the end of the war. We have it on the board here. And now, we're starting something else.)
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 overspreading of abomination he shall make it desolate, even unto the consummation,... (That's all.)... and that determined shall be poured out upon the desolate.

L-41 Oh, what a lesson. I said to my wife the other day, "I wonder if the people are really getting it." Now, I want you to get it. Don't... If you--we have to stay here all day long, just stay. Now, we'll--we--we want to get it. See? We--we want to know that it's Truth, and you... If you can just only see it. And I asked maybe...
Then afterwards I'm going to leave the chart hang here, and you--you can draw it out afterwards, come in here this afternoon, whenever you want to, and draw out the charts and so forth. It'll help you to understand. That's the reason I put it there, so that you would understand it.

L-43 Now, let's review just a little bit so we can get a base. Now, there was... Daniel was concerned about his people, because he had read Jeremiah the prophet, and understood that Jeremiah had said that they would be in captivity for seventy years. And then, he seen then they'd already been in captivity for sixty-eight years. So he knew the time was at hand. So he set aside all of his work, pulled down, as it was, his shades of all his daily tasks, set his face to God, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went to fasting and praying that he might understand when that time would be. Then we find, as I have stated before... (Could you turn that around, over, towards that way just a little bit? The fan's just a little bit too much; it makes me hoarse. Then a... Thank you, brother.)
