The news has now come to light that the recent and ongoing flooding disaster that has swept right across the entire East coast of Australia is not only the worst event of its kind that has ever hit Australia, but is also the worst natural disaster to have ever hit the general mainland of Australia, ever.Even though the majority of those affected may have insurance cover, more than 80% of those who have been affected have no insurance whatsoever against the possibility of an event such as the one that has just happened, and in fact is still continuing on.
What that now means is that even though there are likely to be a large percentage of those affected will have mortgages over their properties and owe money to the banks, even though they have been inundated with water and have lost all of their worldly possessions they are still completely uncovered and will effectively lose everything they have ever worked for.
Accordingly, I decided to refer to the Holy Scriptures to see if there is any mention in the word relative to this massive flooding event to see if I may gain an insight into just where the world stands relative to the continuance of the current system.
I thought that Gods prophetic clock of Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 26 was a good place to start. Even though the 69th week ended in that chapter, there are still some real indicators with the recent flooding in not only Australia, (but of the other nations effected as well) that the prophetic clock may have started again.
Accordingly, if we are not in the end times after the signing off of the Climate Change/World Government treaty in Cancun Mexico then there does not seem to be a great deal of doubt we are right near the end of it all.
The treaty of Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27 that heralds in the Daniels 70th week, (if not already signed) looks nigh on will at hand. After all, Palestine has already been recognized by Mexico and many other nations as being a separate state after the confirmation of the recent aforementioned treaty. Already the aforementioned treaty has been confirmed by the newly appointed EU President, Herman Van Rompuy.
The King James version of the Bible gives the world the clearest indicator yet of what may well be the veracity of the above statement particularly when we refer to this particular portion of the verse, and the end thereof shall be with a flood: the rest of that Chapter I have explained below.
Daniel Chapter 9 Verse 26
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 a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Apart from the tragedy of the flooding event mentioned above, Daniel 9:26 gives us THREE MORE specific events that have been decreed to occur between the end of the 69th ‘seven’ (483 years) and the start of the final ‘seven’. That there is a time period gap between these is quite evident in the text. Three events are said to occur AFTER the 69th ‘seven’ but they are not included in the 70th ‘seven’ which is the subject of the next verse. Let’s have a look at these three events.
The Messiah will be cut off.
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself:
This is what we have briefly looked at above but note a couple of extra things – Firstly, the word for ‘cut off’ is ‘karath’. It means to cut down or kill and is the same word used in Lev 7:27 for the death penalty. There is no doubt that this prophecy tells us that the Messiah would be executed. Secondly, the Bible says that He ‘will have nothing’. The Hebrew can also mean ‘but not for Himself’ and that is how it is translated in many Bibles. The Messiah would die… but He wouldn’t die for Himself. He would die for others. Amazing prophecy!
The Destruction of Jerusalem
the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
The second event decreed is the destruction of Jerusalem. Remember, this occurs after the end of the 69th week yet before the start of the 70th week. And yet this event occurred 40 years after Jesus was crucified. Again this shows that God ‘stopped the prophetic time clock’ with Israel’s rejection of their Messiah. The text says that the people of the coming ruler will destroy the city and the sanctuary. Note that it is the people not the ruler who do this. The ruler’s coming is said to be still future. We know from history that it was the Roman army that destroyed Jerusalem in 70 AD after a 4 year long siege on the city. This ruler or ‘prince’ will be discussed later, but for now it is important to see that this coming ruler will be from the area held by the Roman Empire.
Continued War
and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
The third and final decree for after the 69th ‘seven’ and before the start of the 70th ‘seven’ is ongoing war and desolations for Jerusalem. Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem! The most fought over city. From the time that Babylonians destroyed it in 586 BC it has been held by Greeks, the Romans, the Moslems, the Crusaders… and the conflict goes on today. The decree given by Gabriel is that war would continue right to the time of the end and history has verified that to be true.
