God’s Answer
Daniel Gabriel reveals the end of time Daniel’s 70 weeks Vs 25 Know therefore and
understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks.
70 Weeks
Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks.
Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again
And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off and shall have nothing.
70 Weeks
That equals 69 weeks Some scholars believe that to the
very day Christ entered Jerusalem on “Palm Sunday”
70 Weeks
The final week is believed to be the Tribulation period.
7 years of terrible trouble for the entire world.
I believe the Church will have been raptured.
You study it for yourself.
God’s Answer
Nehemiah Permission to return to Jerusalem to
rebuild the walls and establish the gates and restore the place where God met with man, the Temple
Once more the people of God could meet with Him
Does This God Still Answer Prayer?What do you think?Any examples?
Do We (GAC) Have Sin That Needs To Be Confessed And Forsaken? False Witness Lack of Forgiveness Any Other
