Hello EAR:
By far this was the best explanation I have ever read on the 70th Week of Daniel.
Anyone reading this on the Five Doves will be confronted with the truth,
and if they reject it-well, I pity them. I believe when you are presented
the truth in such a clear, concise fashion and then reject it: “blindness
in part” will come on “the Israel of God” (the Church)
in the area they reject him, just like it did on Israel a long time
ago. When one rejects the Messiah (by referring to Jesus as the antichrist
or the desolator in
Dan. 9:27), I believe a dark veil covers there
prophetic eye which can only be removed by repentance and telling Jesus
how sorry they were for publicly referring to him as such evil. This is
a very serious matter that confronts the modern day Laodician Church, IF we are
the last generation. The
consequences will be devastating to our “twisted” end time view.
As I read each part of your 6 part series, I was like
a cheerleader rooting for the home team. You should have heard me. I was
and am so excited over this treatise of the 70 Weeks of Daniel, I could
hardly contain myself! This work should go down as a classic on the Five Doves, and I hope you will put it
in print for others.
I am however a little puzzled why you didn’t address
the two Scriptures in the New Testament that clearly refer to Jesus as “the
confirmer of the covenant”:
Romans 15:8 Now I say that Jesus
Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God,
to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: and
Galatians 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was
confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which
was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should
make the promise of none effect.
Clearly Christ
confirmed the covenant according to the Word of God. No where in the Bible
does it say the antichrist confirms anything; ONLY CHRIST!
EAR, I do have one major problem that popped up in the last
full paragraph of your part 6. You said:
The prophecy concludes with the fact that with the temple removed, the “holy
mountain” will be made desolate by overspreading abominations, which
will remain until the consummation when the
judgments held in reserve will be poured on the desolator.
A “prequel” to this consummation was experienced in the fall
of Jerusalem and the events
following until Mesada-70-73AD.
I do not believe the statement “the
judgments held in reserve will be poured on the desolator” is
what Gabriel had in mind when he said …and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate in
Daniel 9:27.
I believe that determined shall be poured upon the desolate represents
one of two things:
A) Either the trouble associated with the great tribulation
shall be poured out on Israel (the desolate),
where 2/3’s will be killed by blood thirsty Islamic devils during
the time of Jacob’s trouble.
B) Or the Spirit of Grace and supplication will be poured out
on Israel (the desolate)
when Jesus returns: Zec. 12:10 states:
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
the spirit of grace and of supplications:
and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall
be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Ear, in either case THE DESOLATE in Daniel 9:27 is Israel and not the
desolator (antichrist). If you change “the desolate” to “the
desolator” in Daniel 9:27, that change
in literary terms automatically qualifies the “he” as the same
thing (the desolator or antichrist), since it is in the same sentence structure.
Ear, this is the heart of the enemy’s subtle attack
on this critical set of prophetic Scriptures. That simple change from desolate
to desolator changes the whole scenario. Just like comparing Hitler (the
desolator) to the 6 Million dead (desolate) Jews is staggering, the consequences
of twisting the word “desolate to desolator” will be just as
devastating to our end time view!
If you have Sir Robert Anderson’s
Book: THE COMING PRINCE, turn to Chapter 5 entitled THE ANGELS MESSAGE (page
51). Notice that Sir Robert pretty much used the King James Version through
out the entire book EXCEPT IN DANIEL 9:27, where he ever so slyly switched
to the RV rendering “the desolator”! Gabriel didn’t say
both did he. Sir Robert’s work is considered the standard work on
Daniel 9:24-27 in prophetic circles. Almost every book I have on the subject
of the 70th week use Sir Robert as their authority!
Even C.I Scofield, who was a close friend of Sir Robert Anderson,
fell for it. Just check out his notes on Dan. 9:27 in the Scofield Reference
Bible and see for yourself.
In Genesis 3:1 the serpent subtly said to the woman …yea
hath God said? He tried and succeeded in getting Eve off track in questioning
God’s word. Satan has continued this attack on the words of God throughout
history. And now here we are in the 21 Century, very possibly the LAST GENERATION,
and here is clear evidence of his fingerprints. Tell me which did God say
in Daniel 9:27: the DESOLATE or the DESOLATOR? God certainly didn’t
say both did he? One answer qualifies the “he” as Christ: the
other answer makes the “he” antichrist! Which did God Say?
Ear please consider the gravity of what I have brought
to light about changing this word, and please let us know your opinion.
Other than that, I believe this document is flawless.
