Speaker:

Hey everybody.

2

:

Welcome back to Monday's edition

of the Daily Bible Podcast.

3

:

Happy Monday to you all.

4

:

Yep.

5

:

And our ladies are back.

6

:

They had a women's

retreat this past weekend.

7

:

Hopefully it went really well.

8

:

We are trusting that it is.

9

:

We are actually recording a day earlier

than we normally do because you and

10

:

I have dad duty tomorrow because our

wives are down there learning about how

11

:

to use their words for encouragement,

words for holiness, words for.

12

:

Conflict resolution should be, do

we have titles for these messages?

13

:

Do we know?

14

:

Probably yes.

15

:

We someone has them.

16

:

Yes, but do we have them?

17

:

That's a different question.

18

:

That's, yeah.

19

:

My wife has two of the titles.

20

:

Do I have, that's why I was figuring

You might know, but that's okay.

21

:

Yeah.

22

:

I'm sure we'll find out later.

23

:

Yeah.

24

:

And they're recording these.

25

:

They're recording them.

26

:

Of video or audio?

27

:

They're both.

28

:

They're, I believe, just doing audio.

29

:

Okay.

30

:

So that's still All right.

31

:

We can still upload them later, right?

32

:

Yeah.

33

:

And actually Louis Zuma is

at the whole women's retreat.

34

:

He's Wow.

35

:

Down there helping them with tech

and sound and what a gentleman he is.

36

:

Yeah.

37

:

What a great guy.

38

:

Yeah.

39

:

Thank you Louis.

40

:

I think his wife is rooming still

with another woman at the That's okay.

41

:

To have the women's retreat

experience that's expected.

42

:

Sure.

43

:

But he's down there, so he's serving

and serving the Lord down there.

44

:

So there you go.

45

:

That's super cool.

46

:

Yeah, well done Lewis.

47

:

We appreciate it.

48

:

It very much, Steve Yang is also gonna

be down there helping to get everything

49

:

set up well, at least on Friday.

50

:

Well done Steve.

51

:

Thank you for doing that.

52

:

Yeah.

53

:

But hopefully it's a great retreat and

our women have come back refreshed,

54

:

excited and ready to apply God's word.

55

:

If somebody.

56

:

Not of the woman persuasion.

57

:

Yes.

58

:

Wanted to listen to these messages.

59

:

Is he allowed to do that?

60

:

Would you be okay with someone

listening to Amanda's or Kayla?

61

:

I'm guessing Kayla's preaching too.

62

:

Kayla is, yeah.

63

:

Is it okay to listen to their messages?

64

:

I would say no.

65

:

Really?

66

:

Yeah.

67

:

Ah, do explain, because it is a, an

extension of the context of the church.

68

:

It's not a classroom, it's not a,

hey, this the, this school, my kid's

69

:

school is hosting this event that

this person is speaking out over here.

70

:

It's the context of the church.

71

:

And so as such, I think Paul's

words to Timothy that he does not

72

:

permit a woman to instruct or to

exercise authority over a man.

73

:

I think it still applies in this context.

74

:

Could you say, and I guess to clarify

what we're saying, is listening

75

:

for the purposes of instruction and

edification, and even application,

76

:

that's what you're getting at.

77

:

So is it possible then that a guy

could listen and say this is different.

78

:

She's not in the pulpit, she's not

preaching at me, she's preaching to women.

79

:

I'm listening in I'm a fly on the

wall, as it were, and I'm just.

80

:

Hearing what she's saying and maybe

there's a couple things that I

81

:

think, oh, that's really helpful.

82

:

Oh, that's insightful.

83

:

I could still utilize that without

necessarily submitting to her authority.

84

:

Is that a fair argument or

would you take issue with that?

85

:

I would still probably take issue there.

86

:

Yeah.

87

:

Reasons being, because I believe it's

instruction, at least at minimum,

88

:

it's instruction whether or not

you're submitting to authority.

89

:

It's instruction.

90

:

And Paul's admonition says, I do

not permit a woman to instruct or

91

:

to exercise authority over a man.

92

:

So would you say then that instruction

inherently is an exercise of authority?

93

:

Yes.

94

:

So it's impossible then.

95

:

And I guess, let me back up.

96

:

I don't wanna set you up to

go into a pit here, isn't it?

97

:

Isn't it also possible to be in

an instructive environment where

98

:

someone is not exercising authority,

at least spiritual authority?

99

:

If I'm in a geometry class and

my professor's a woman, yes.

100

:

If I'm in a bible class at DTS Yes.

101

:

And she's teaching me on the book

of Joel or something like that.

102

:

Yes.

103

:

What, I'm sorry, I forgot the question.

104

:

Yes.

105

:

Is possible that you can be in an

instructive environment where the

106

:

authority of the church is not imbued.

107

:

Okay.

108

:

So you, okay.

109

:

You qualified it.

110

:

Authority of the church is it

therefore a possibility to be

111

:

under a woman's instruction Who?

112

:

Perhaps is gifted in this or that area,

Hebrew or Greek or whatever else, and

113

:

I'm receiving from her, but still not

have the same kind of ecclesiastical

114

:

authority that we're referring to.

115

:

So it's still church content.

116

:

It's our Bible, it's Greek, it's Hebrew.

117

:

It's something like that.

118

:

But I'm not submitting to her in the

same way that I would if you were in the

119

:

pulpit and I were receiving instruction.

120

:

Yes, except that I believe

that it's a, it's that.

121

:

Pulpit authority extends beyond the realm

of just the pulpit on Sunday mornings.

122

:

So I believe that, again, because this

falls within the ministries of the

123

:

local church, the Paul's instructions

to Timothy apply across the ministries

124

:

of the local church when it comes

to men being instructed by women.

125

:

So in other words.

126

:

I think she's, she is in a position

of authority over women, and that's

127

:

something that as pastors, we've said,

Hey, we want you to fulfill this role

128

:

and serve in this capacity right now.

129

:

And so that's what she's doing there.

130

:

And that's a realm that we said go and do.

131

:

I don't believe that it's

appropriate for men to.

132

:

Go and sit in that context and

not because of the content.

133

:

The content could be great.

134

:

The content could be fine, the content

could be edifying, but I do think

135

:

it's a disorder of what God's design

for the church is for men to go and

136

:

seek construction in that context.

137

:

In that context, I would agree with you.

138

:

It would not be appropriate

for a guy to attend a women's

139

:

retreat and hear the preaching.

140

:

But I think I'd be a, I don't know.

141

:

I guess I don't wanna, I don't wanna

make a law where there's no law, but I

142

:

do think perhaps there's, I could listen

to a sermon by a woman who tackles a

143

:

particular subject and I know her to

be a phenomenal Bible teacher, right?

144

:

I could say, oh, that's

helpful information.

145

:

I'm gonna utilize that idea,

or that concept, or that, that

146

:

framing without receiving.

147

:

The ecclesiastical authority that

she may have in that environment and

148

:

in that context for that audience.

149

:

But I think that the authority of the

preaching event stays with the message.

150

:

The authority of the preaching

event stays with the message.

151

:

Okay, so I.

152

:

YY Okay.

153

:

If someone listens to

one of your sermons Yes.

154

:

And you're telling the church, yes.

155

:

Hey, church, I want you to go

do A, B, C, and D, that's one

156

:

of your application points.

157

:

Yes.

158

:

But they go to a different church and

or they're just, they want to hear what

159

:

we're talking about because they're

thinking about visiting our church.

160

:

Would you not dis distinguish

between those two things versus

161

:

if they come into our church?

162

:

And I think that even that's

that one could be qualified too,

163

:

because someone could come to

our church and say, I'm here.

164

:

I'm here to listen.

165

:

But I'm not submitting to the authority.

166

:

Participating, but without submitting to

the authority, I guess I'm speaking more

167

:

of the inherent authority of the pulpit.

168

:

It transfers with the message.

169

:

So whether or not somebody submits

to that authority is a, is an

170

:

issue between them and the Lord.

171

:

But when I look at the authority of

the event itself just like you said,

172

:

we wouldn't tell men to go to a women's

event and sit under the teaching.

173

:

I think that same prohibition carries

with that message even after that message

174

:

is complete and now it's stored online.

175

:

Okay.

176

:

Yeah, I think I'm still

noodling over that.

177

:

I'm not sure.

178

:

I get it.

179

:

I get your point.

180

:

The authority of the pulpit

inherent to the message.

181

:

I could see that and I could see being

in the context where I'm receiving it.

182

:

I guess your point seems to carry, or at

least insinuate that even if I'm serving.

183

:

The audio or I'm doing some kind of,

some kind of service support role

184

:

in that environment that perhaps

you're in a complicated situation.

185

:

Yeah.

186

:

And there's been people that have

got carried that to the extreme.

187

:

And I think that you can be in that

setting and not be listening for

188

:

instruction and not be listening

actively to the message and be there

189

:

to serve, to make sure that the

microphones aren't gonna go haywire,

190

:

to make sure that things aren't going.

191

:

I don't know as a man in that

situation that I would have

192

:

my notebook out taking notes.

193

:

Okay.

194

:

Yeah.

195

:

Yeah.

196

:

Interesting information there.

197

:

Yeah and we've talked about it because

one of the leading commentators for

198

:

First Peter is a woman, Karen Joe, and

so we've talked about it as pastors.

199

:

Is it.

200

:

Does it cross complimentary

lines to consult a female in

201

:

the context of a commentary?

202

:

And that's where I would say no,

because it's not a preaching event.

203

:

It's not the same as, it's

not the church context.

204

:

It's more of an academic work,

which doesn't, those lines are

205

:

pretty blurry, bro but they're not,

because Karen job is not a pastor.

206

:

Karen job is not writing a sermon.

207

:

Not Neither's, Amanda, she's preaching.

208

:

But she's preaching

under pastoral authority.

209

:

Okay.

210

:

Karen job is not writing

under pastoral authority.

211

:

She's not commissioned by a church

to say, I want you to write this

212

:

for the instruction of the church

within the context of the church.

213

:

She, I I don't know Karen personally but

I do know that she did, she does do a

214

:

lot of teaching and I guess you'd call

it preaching in front of ladies right.

215

:

At her church.

216

:

So she has some kind of church

covering, I guess you could say it, and.

217

:

I'm sure she has her pastor's

approval, or at least his tacit

218

:

encouragement to contribute in ways

like this to the broader church.

219

:

But Baker Exegetical commentary

is Baker Exegetical commentary.

220

:

It's not Baker Baptist Church, that's

saying, Hey, we're putting this out.

221

:

So for me to read what Karen says

on a text is not reading Karen

222

:

preaching to me on this text.

223

:

It's reading an academic

commentary on the nature of the

224

:

text that, that I'm studying.

225

:

You qualified earlier the

teaching or having authority.

226

:

So is she not teaching you though?

227

:

But the context of the

church is what matters.

228

:

You're in the context of the church.

229

:

She's teaching you and you're

leading the church, but not in

230

:

a teaching event in the church.

231

:

So there is, there are.

232

:

There is the church being the

church, and then there are

233

:

different components, right?

234

:

Like my education, you brought

up the seminary classroom.

235

:

Yeah.

236

:

We've been influenced by

the seminary classroom.

237

:

I had female professors

at Dallas in my seminary.

238

:

My Hebrew professor, Dorian

Cooper Cox was a female.

239

:

She influences me as a pastor.

240

:

But she's not in the role of.

241

:

Exercising authority.

242

:

It's like when Mueller talks about do we

boycott Target because of pride month?

243

:

And he's then you have to boycott,

Mar Walmart and you have to go to

244

:

the second and third and fourth

levels of accountability there.

245

:

I do believe there are separations in

levels of authority when I'm consulting

246

:

Karen Jobes versus when I'm sitting

under the preaching of a woman,

247

:

whether it's listening to her sermon

or whether it's attending in person.

248

:

Karen Jobes is not.

249

:

Putting herself in a position

of ecclesiastical authority.

250

:

She's putting herself in a position of

the authority of a commentary of academic

251

:

insight and authority in that context.

252

:

I'm not saying she never does, but

I'm saying in that context with

253

:

that book, that's what she's doing.

254

:

That's helpful.

255

:

Input that.

256

:

Yeah, man, I didn't think

we were gonna get there.

257

:

You even said let's start this one

and make these episodes shorter.

258

:

We have five minutes then to get through.

259

:

Daniel.

260

:

Seven through nine.

261

:

I'll leave you to it then.

262

:

I'm going on mute.

263

:

Alright, Daniel.

264

:

Seven Daniel's got a dream and

there's gonna be a lot of these

265

:

visions and dreams that Daniel's gonna

have and the coming chapters here.

266

:

And this one contains a

vision of four beasts.

267

:

You've got the lion, you've got the

bear, you've got the leopard, and

268

:

then this fourth terrifying beast.

269

:

The lion we believe to be Babylon.

270

:

The bear would be Medo Persia,

the leopard would be Greece.

271

:

And then this fourth terrifying beast is,

the, there's near and far implications

272

:

here, but what's really gonna emerge

from this fourth beast is the vision

273

:

of the antichrist and a lot of the end

times information that's going to happen.

274

:

The fourth beast is eventually going to

be killed and turned over and destroyed.

275

:

You've got this amazing scene here

in Daniel chapter seven of the

276

:

one, like the son of man appearing

before the ancient of days.

277

:

The one like the son of man

being the Messiah, being Jesus.

278

:

That's why when Jesus claimed

the title Son of Man, there was

279

:

so much weight behind that and

the Jewish people recognized.

280

:

Is that, and he's gonna set up this

kingdom as Daniel seven is talking about.

281

:

This is the fifth Kingdom back in

the Nebuchadnezzar statue at the very

282

:

beginning of the book in chapter two.

283

:

This fifth kingdom that's never gonna end.

284

:

It's an everlasting kingdom,

an everlasting dominion.

285

:

It will never pass away and

it will not be destroyed.

286

:

Daniel's shaken by this dream,

this vision he has in verse 15.

287

:

And then it's interpreted

and they lay out.

288

:

This is the four kings.

289

:

This is gonna be this.

290

:

Fourth beast has the 10 horns, and there's

a another horn that's gonna rise up.

291

:

This is verse 24.

292

:

This is the antichrist.

293

:

Different from the ones

that came before speaking.

294

:

Words blaspheming against the most high.

295

:

And again, he's gonna wear

out the saints the most high,

296

:

and he's gonna be doing this.

297

:

The saints that is are gonna be

given into his hand for a time.

298

:

Times and half a time.

299

:

This is in verse 25.

300

:

That's three and a half years.

301

:

One time is one year times

two years and a half a time.

302

:

Three and a half years.

303

:

This is the back half of the tribulation.

304

:

And this is going to be until at

the very end the fifth king comes.

305

:

And that is the ancient of days.

306

:

That's the, or the son of man

brother, that this is the Messiah.

307

:

This is the messianic kingdom

that he's gonna set up.

308

:

They're at the end of chapter seven.

309

:

Daniel chapter seven is critical for you

to know specifically for verses 13 and 14.

310

:

Some of this stuff around this are

challenging, and I understand that

311

:

one of the best ways that you can read

Daniel seven is to read the whole thing

312

:

and then go back and read it again.

313

:

Yeah, because Daniel gets

information and explanation.

314

:

In the second half of the chapter and

you start to get a better sense of

315

:

what he's saying in the first half.

316

:

But what you should highlight

in your Bible, and one section

317

:

that you should know backward and

forward is Daniel seven 13 and 14.

318

:

One of Jesus' most important and favorite

designations for himself is Son of man.

319

:

And this is where he gets it from.

320

:

So whenever Jesus says the son of man came

to seek and to save the lost, he's not.

321

:

Being entirely humble as

we think He is humble.

322

:

He's perfectly humble.

323

:

The fact that he's a man which

demonstrates his humility, but

324

:

when he uses the designation,

son of man, he's not using that.

325

:

In contrast to Son of God

saying, I am only a son of man.

326

:

I'm just humbly, humble

lowly me, little old me.

327

:

He's not saying that at all.

328

:

He's in fact claiming the title

for himself, son of man from

329

:

Daniel chapter seven, verses 13

and 14, which is an exalted title.

330

:

Let's not make any mistake about that.

331

:

This is a big deal.

332

:

Daniel seven 13 and 14, critical

that, so that when you see it in your

333

:

Bible, and Jesus says, the son of

man came to oh, he's talking about

334

:

himself being the one who receives

all honor, glory, power, and praise.

335

:

Praise be to Jesus Christ.

336

:

This son a man, by the way, if you

want the TLDR version of chapter seven,

337

:

it's found in verses 17 through 18.

338

:

It says, these four great beasts are

four kings who shall rise outta the

339

:

earth, but the saints in the most

high shall receive the kingdom and

340

:

possess the kingdom forever and ever.

341

:

That's the summary of what Daniel

sees with this vision, this dream.

342

:

In chapter seven, what is TLDR?

343

:

Too long didn't read.

344

:

So don't uptake that approach

to scripture, but it's

345

:

just the slang of the day.

346

:

Yeah.

347

:

TLDR.

348

:

Yeah.

349

:

Alright, chapter eight,

then we get another vision.

350

:

This time there's only two involved

here and there's a, we didn't note

351

:

it when pastor Mark and I were

going through this, but the book of

352

:

Daniel contains multiple languages.

353

:

It's both Hebrew and Aramaic.

354

:

And so the Hebrew shows back up

here in chapter eight after the

355

:

last time we were in Hebrew was.

356

:

Chapter two, verse four.

357

:

And so there's been a lot of Aramaic.

358

:

We probably attribute that to the

fact that Daniel was serving in

359

:

Babylon in a multicultural setting.

360

:

And so he was employing a language that

would've been understandable by more than

361

:

just a handful of people at the time.

362

:

But yeah.

363

:

He's back in Hebrew here in chapter

eight, and he sees these two beasts.

364

:

And the first one is a ram, and the

second one is going to be a goat.

365

:

And so the ram with the two

horns is going to be, again, mito

366

:

Persia, the dual empire there.

367

:

And then you've got the goat and the

goat with the singular horn that emerges.

368

:

There is gonna be Greece and that singular

horn, that the great horn that comes

369

:

from the goat is Alexander the Great.

370

:

And then from there we read that.

371

:

That horn is shattered and four

kingdoms are gonna arise in verse 22.

372

:

From that place, from that nation,

from Greece and Alexander the

373

:

greats kingdom, his empire was

divided into four territories.

374

:

From one of those territories is gonna

come another another strong king.

375

:

A king with a bold face.

376

:

This is going to be the man

Antiochus epiphanies, who's

377

:

important for you to remember.

378

:

He's gonna show up quite a bit

between now and the end of the book.

379

:

He's the one that marches into Jerusalem

and sets up the abomination of desolation.

380

:

He's the one that goes after God's people.

381

:

He's the one that sets the stage

for the Maccabean Revolt during

382

:

the Intertestamental period.

383

:

And so in Tke is epiphanies is an

evil person, and Daniel's getting

384

:

a vision in chapter eight of

the fact that he's coming, that

385

:

Greece is going to come against.

386

:

Meet a Persia in that the arrival

of Alexander the Great is going

387

:

to assemble, eventually make its

way to tikis epiphanies and TKIs.

388

:

Epiphanies is gonna be bad news for

God's people, at least at that time.

389

:

People look at Daniel chapter eight and

they suggest people look at Daniel chapter

390

:

eight and they suggest there's no way

that Daniel could have known these things.

391

:

It's just impossible.

392

:

And therefore, Daniel must have

been written at a later date or

393

:

edited at a later date in order

to accommodate this information.

394

:

Now, this is what you and I would see

as being evidently the hand of God.

395

:

This is the imprimatur of God's handiwork.

396

:

He tells the end from the beginning.

397

:

He knows it all.

398

:

He's the one who decrees it all.

399

:

And therefore, we ought to take

this at face value and understand

400

:

that what Daniel is saying is

something that only God can do.

401

:

He ordains and orchestrates

all of human history to his.

402

:

Final purposes and ends, and that

includes some of these massive

403

:

empires that have risen and fallen.

404

:

And even some of the details that you

see here, it's a bit obscure because

405

:

it's prophetic literature, but you and I

can look at this now and say, okay, it's

406

:

clear what God was trying to do here.

407

:

You wanna take great comfort in

the fact that God is no different

408

:

today than he was yesterday.

409

:

This is Daniel's God.

410

:

This is how he understood him.

411

:

This is how God revealed himself to him.

412

:

But he's not different today.

413

:

God doesn't change.

414

:

God still knows the

end from the beginning.

415

:

And all the rising kingdoms and all the

falling kingdoms are under his sovereign

416

:

rule and purposes take great comfort in

the fact that our God remains the same.

417

:

Yeah.

418

:

In fact his detail on things that are

gonna get even more intense as we're

419

:

gonna see as the book continues to unfold.

420

:

Yeah.

421

:

It's awesome.

422

:

It's awesome that we have this

and we can look back and see how

423

:

it all comes together this way.

424

:

Chapter nine is an awesome

chapter and one thing that I

425

:

want you to notice here is the.

426

:

First person, plural pronouns, and

so that's Wes and us and are because

427

:

chapter nine is Daniel launching

into a corporate prayer of repentance

428

:

on behalf of the nation of Israel.

429

:

He's reading the book of

Jeremiah, probably Jeremiah 25 12.

430

:

He reads, man, that the prophesied

time of captivity is 70 years.

431

:

He understands that time is coming

to an end, and he just launches

432

:

into this prayer of repentance

before the Lord, and he assumes.

433

:

The role to pray corporately on

behalf of the nation of Israel,

434

:

for the wrongdoings of the people.

435

:

And the majority of his

prayer is just that.

436

:

It's him confessing before he even

gets to asking for God to do anything.

437

:

He's confessing the sinfulness,

he's confessing the breaking

438

:

of the mosaic covenant.

439

:

The mosaic law.

440

:

Verse 13 he's saying that, God, what

you have done is right as we see there

441

:

in verse 14, he says, the Lord our

God is righteous in all his works.

442

:

And so the last.

443

:

69, 68 years as he's looking

at, this has been good.

444

:

This is right.

445

:

You have not wronged us.

446

:

And then finally in verse

17, he gets to their quest.

447

:

He says, now, therefore, please listen.

448

:

Respond in, in mercy for your own sake.

449

:

Again, Daniel's saying,

it's not even that we have.

450

:

Earn this but Lord, please

do this for your own sake.

451

:

We do not present our pleas before

you because of our righteousness.

452

:

Verse 18, but because of your great mercy.

453

:

So just casting himself

on the mercy of God.

454

:

But the beginning of chapter nine

is Daniel saying, okay, if this

455

:

has really come to an end, then

we need to get ready for this.

456

:

And what's fascinating and just,

again, pointing to the purity

457

:

and integrity of Daniel's heart.

458

:

Daniel's not gonna leave and go

back to Jerusalem with the people.

459

:

When they are freed and allowed

to go, he's gonna stay behind.

460

:

And so this is not Daniel just being like,

finally, it's almost time to go back home.

461

:

What do we need to do to get back home?

462

:

Oh, we need to pray.

463

:

So let's fire off a quick

prayer of repentance and

464

:

see if we can get back home.

465

:

Now Daniel's I he's seeing, he's

understanding what God's sovereign

466

:

plan is unfolding to reveal, and he

wants to step into that with this

467

:

corporate prayer of repentance.

468

:

I think it's really cool and

exciting that God sends an angel

469

:

to answer his prayer request.

470

:

I know you haven't gotten there yet.

471

:

Yeah, no, please do.

472

:

But God's gonna send Gabriel

to answer this guy's prayer.

473

:

And what's really interesting

too is that he's dude I've been

474

:

sent, I've been sent along my way.

475

:

It took me some time to get here.

476

:

Which I'm not sure if this is

actually this chapter or the next one.

477

:

Next one.

478

:

Ah, okay.

479

:

I'm ahead of myself.

480

:

But I think it's cool that God is sending

angelic hosts to dispatch to say, look,

481

:

go tell Daniel what he needs to know.

482

:

Here.

483

:

I wanna point something out to you.

484

:

ND nine END nine this is something one

of my seminary pre professors taught me

485

:

when we were looking at repent psalms

or songs or prayers of repentance

486

:

that are u unique or different from

the ones that we typically go to.

487

:

Psalm 51 comes to mind, END

nine Ezra, Nehemiah, and Daniel.

488

:

All of those in chapter nine have.

489

:

Penitent Psalms that are helpful

for us when we're trying to pray to

490

:

God with some new language perhaps.

491

:

En nine, Ezra, Nehemiah, Daniel nine, all

of these have prayers of repentance that

492

:

you can utilize in your own prayer type.

493

:

Yeah.

494

:

Hey, let's do an inadequate treatment of

the 70 weeks because we just, we don't

495

:

have time to, to treat it in depth.

496

:

No, I think it's it's daunting a lot

of times because it's oh, the 70 weeks,

497

:

but I think it, it can be clear to us.

498

:

And so 70 weeks it says

this is the answer to.

499

:

Daniel's prayer about how God

is gonna restore his people.

500

:

So 70 weeks are to creed, he says.

501

:

And so from 4 44 bc right?

502

:

And that's the time that therefore

understand that from the going out of

503

:

the word to restore and build Jerusalem.

504

:

So 4 44 bc there's

going to be seven weeks.

505

:

And then he says in the

ESV, then for 62 weeks.

506

:

Now other translations will say

there'll be seven weeks and 62 weeks.

507

:

In other words, all other

translations, every other one does.

508

:

I don't know that there's any, I

think e SV is alone is a loan here.

509

:

Yeah.

510

:

I'll double check, but

I think they're alone.

511

:

Yeah and it's not helpful because it's

meant to say there's gonna be 69 weeks.

512

:

There's going to be all but

one of these weeks are gonna

513

:

take place in that 69 weeks.

514

:

If the weeks represent years

are gonna amount to 483 years.

515

:

Now what's crazy here and we don't wanna

get lost too much in the weeds, but it is

516

:

appropriate at time to press the details.

517

:

And I think this is one of those examples.

518

:

So if 4 44 BC is the time that.

519

:

The, is the beginning of the 70 weeks, 69

weeks from that by the Jewish calendar,

520

:

which is 360 days, would give you 483

years, which would put us right in

521

:

around the timeframe of 30 to 33 ad,

which is the time that Jesus, according

522

:

to our history and our understanding

of the timeline of events, the time

523

:

that Jesus is going to be crucified.

524

:

And he speaks to that, he says,

after the 62 weeks and the seven

525

:

weeks, ESV, the anointed one

shall be cut off and have nothing.

526

:

And so here's the anointed one.

527

:

Here's Jesus, right?

528

:

And so you've got this prophecy that, that

for 69 weeks, this is what's gonna happen.

529

:

And then the anointed one's gonna

show up and he's gonna be cut off.

530

:

That's the crucifixion.

531

:

Then in the future, what

about the 70th week?

532

:

That is going to be the

week of tribulation.

533

:

That's the week that is still left.

534

:

That's the seven years of tribulation.

535

:

That is the time of Jacob's trouble.

536

:

And that is what's still

coming in the future.

537

:

And that fits the context because of what

Daniel's been talking about this little

538

:

horn and about what he we're gonna see

in chapters 10, 11, and 12 tomorrow,

539

:

where he's gonna go into to even greater

detail about the coming of this one.

540

:

That is gonna be such a problem

during this final 70th week.

541

:

That's exciting.

542

:

Yeah, and I think an , admirable job.

543

:

Of a short treatment of the 70 weeks.

544

:

Awesome.

545

:

Thanks man.

546

:

Yeah.

547

:

MacArthur Bible commentary

helpful on that one.

548

:

The single volume one as well

as Bible Knowledge commentary.

549

:

You were just reading off of that?

550

:

Is that what was happening?

551

:

That's totally what I was doing.

552

:

Yeah.

553

:

Just reading word for word.

554

:

Yeah.

555

:

No.

556

:

Alright, y'all let me pray and then

we'll be done with this episode.

557

:

God, we find ourselves here.

558

:

Is, we are in between the 69th week

and the 70th week, and we are the, in

559

:

the church age and yet we know what's

coming because your word is laid it out.

560

:

Just like we talked about, Daniel

was right on his prophecies, on what

561

:

took place in Daniel chapter eight

and what we read about here, he's

562

:

right about these things too, because

he's not right in and of himself.

563

:

He's right because you are the

one that's behind his words.

564

:

And so help us to live

anticipating that final week.

565

:

As we wait for the return of Christ to

take us home, to be with you, as we trust

566

:

that will take place even on the front end

of that before any of this takes place.

567

:

We look forward to that time to

be with you finally and fully.

568

:

In Jesus name, amen.

569

:

Amen.
