41-The Bible's Longest Prophecy - KJV

1. The prophesies of Daniel Help to Unlock the Mysteries of Revelation.
Daniel 7:1 In the first year of _Belshazzar_ king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the _matters_.

Before doing this lesson it is recommended that you read chapters 7, 8 and 9 of the book of Daniel.

 2. Where Does the Judgment Take Place?
Daniel 7:9-10 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as _burning_ fire. [10] A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand _thousands_ _ministered_ unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the _judgment_ was set, and the books were opened.

3. When Will the Judgment Take Place?
Daniel 8:14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the _sanctuary_ be _cleansed_.

4. The Book of Leviticus Helps Us to Understand What the Cleansing of the Sanctuary Means.
Leviticus 16:29-30 And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own _country_, or a _stranger_ that _sojourneth_ among you: [30] For on that day shall the priest make an _atonement_ for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.

5. This Is When Daniel's Vision Literally Took Place.
Daniel 8:16-17 And I heard a mans voice between the banks of Ulai, which _called_, and said, _Gabriel_, make this man to understand the vision. [17] So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was _afraid_, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end _shall_ be the vision.

Daniel 8:19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the _indignation_: for at the time _appointed_ the end shall be.

6. Who Explained This Vision to Daniel?
Daniel 8:16 And I heard a mans voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, _Gabriel_, make this man to _understand_ the vision.

7. Why Was Gabriel's Mission Delayed?
Daniel 8:27 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the kings business; and I was _astonished_ at the vision, but none _understood_ it.

Daniel seems to have been overcome by what the vision implied. He lacked the strength to deal with the vision's message. Sometimes we have to come to understand new truth bit by bit.

 8. Gabriel Returns to Explain Daniel's Vision.
Daniel 9:21-23 Yea, whiles I was _speaking_ in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. [22] And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. [23] At the beginning of thy _supplications_ the _commandment_ came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: _therefore_ understand the matter, and _consider_ the vision.

9. The Key to Biblical Prophecy Is the Day for a Year Principle.
Numbers 14:34 After the number of the days in which ye _searched_ the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your _iniquities_, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.

Ezekiel 4:6 And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of _Judah_ forty days: I have _appointed_ thee each day for a year.

10. This Is the Beginning Date for Both the 490 Years and the 2, 300 Years.
Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and _understand_, that from the going forth of the _commandment_ to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and _threescore_ and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

11. God Anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and Power.
Luke 3:21-22 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, [22] And the Holy Ghost _descended_ in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my _beloved_ Son; in thee I am well _pleased_.

Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of _Nazareth_ with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were _oppressed_ of the devil; for God was with him.

12. This Text Gives You the Exact Date of Jesus' Death.
Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the _overspreading_ of _abominations_ he shall make it desolate, even until the _consummation_, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

13. The Veil Was Torn From Top to Bottom When Jesus Died.
Matthew 27:51 And, behold, the veil of the _temple_ was rent in twain from the top to the _bottom_; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
