The Key To The Seventy Weeks

September 6, 2021

Daniel’s seventy-weeks resolve around one simple issue. Here it is.

We know that the promised Messiah came at the end of the 69 weeks (Dan. 9:25) and he was cut off within the next week of years (the 70th) and that in that ensuing 70th week he fulfilled all the predictions of Daniel 9:24 and 27.

There is absolutely no reason to insert any period of time between the 69th and the 70th week for the simple reason – none of us think of time in this way. We go from 7 weeks and then the next 62 weeks (Dan. 9:25) consecutively and then to the 70th week consecutively. To add anything in-between is a travesty of interpretation.

Treading The High Places

February 1, 2011

This phrase is found in the last chapter of the remarkable prophecy made by Habakkuk and in the last verse. It is an appropriate expression of the ultimate triumph that the people of God shall experience since they serve a Sovereign God. There are two key verses (or series of verses) in Habakkuk that explicitly reflect the prophet’s dilemma and thanksgiving. Habakkuk 2:4 raises the question of how a man can be right before God. The answer is found in verse 4 – “the righteous shall live by faith.” This is, of course, simply a pointer to justification by faith as the sole means whereby any person is accepted before a holy and just God. This same verse is mentioned three times in the New Testament (Rom. 1:17; Gal. 3:11; Heb. 10:38). The fact that any person can be said to be righteous is because of an imputed righteousness to him rather than an [Read more…]

What Do the gods Offer?

January 17, 2011

It is as Augustine says in his “City of God” that the only cause for the perishing of Rome was that she chose to have guardians that could also perish. Is this not the same for Jerusalem in the days of our Lord? She chose not the Lord to save her, and thus because she trusted in herself and her righteousness – she likewise perished (AD 70). In the same way, what is our country entrusting herself to? Do we not see the influence of pagan idolatry raising once again its ugly head? God has been banished like a naughty schoolboy, but He shall take His vengeance because He is a consuming fire. Great nations perish unless their people (like ancient Nineveh) repent. May we learn this lesson well as Augustine understood it.
