Dear Brother,
I am with you 100% on your interpretation of
Daniel 9:27, and always have been. I also think that misunderstanding the
last verse is a very dangerous issue! Jesus was repeatedly
accused by the Pharisees that His works were of Satan. So, if
we consign the "he" who confirms the Covenant as being
Antichrist, I think it we are on dangerous ground...especially in a Chapter
where no type of "antichrist" is ever mentioned. And you could rip the entire
Chapter of Dan. 9 out of the Bible, and it won't interfere one iota with
anyone's entime escatology! Yeshua Himself said because of transgressions their
house was left to them desolate. That doesn't make Him an antichrist; He IS
Christ!
I have a "Drafts" folder chock full of word
studies I've done of scriptures supporting this. A few I have posted over the
years, but no one ever responds, and the Dan. 9 antichrist beat just goes on. I
also have a beautiful letter from Bonnie Gaunt where she agrees with me and
expounds on it. I would love to post it, but since it was private mail I
don't feel privy to post it.
It seems that so many prophecy
teachers preach this is antichrist, which to me demeans Christ for His
great work, the Mystery of His great hidden act of love. Gabriel's message to
faithful Daniel was Good News, to give him hope for a fulfullment for his
people that he would not live to personally see. Their house is still left
to them desolate, but that will change when He confirms His covenant with
Israel.
The World is CREATED in
PERFECTION
The World is JUDGED because of
SIN
The World is RESTORED through
COVENANT

I had bookmarked all of your other posts
regarding this, as well as Pastor Riley's and others, but now they are gone. And
I do not know how to "cut and paste" these PDF files. Could you
possibly just post "The Covenant" and "The Conclusion" in
text?
I'd also like to say that if you know of
David Flynn's book, "Temple at the Center of Time" that he has made many more
discoveries of the time/distance phenomonon, including that from the Temple
Mount (Holy of Holies location) outward 666 nautical miles arrives over the
black stone at Mecca. Interesting, is it not?
