4.
Apostle John-1 Jn 2:28: Abide in Him that when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. (Rev. 1:7) Apostle Paul-Tit 2:13-looking for that blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
First Coming-Incarnation
Luk 1:30-33
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Joh 1:1, 14
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Php 2:6-8
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Daniel’s 69
and 70 weeks
• •
Dan 9:24-26
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand,
shall be
determined.
that
from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince
shall be
weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall (1) Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the (2) people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are seven Daniel’s Prophecy: In 70x7 years, Israel’s righteousness will be re established. From the restoration of Jerusalem to the 69 th week (483 yrs), the Messiah is cut-off not for Himself but for our sins. But Jerusalem will be destroyed by the people of the anti-Christ. Fulfilled in 70 AD.
High Priestly Ministry
•
Heb 9:24, 26, 28
For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands,
which are
the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Jesus Our Eternal High Priest
• • •
Heb 4:14-16
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast
our
profession. For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as
we are, yet
without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Heb 7:25
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
1Jn 2:1
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
Times of the Gentiles
• 70x7 yrs was determined for Israel to be restored again as head of the nations. Until then the Jews have not regained full control of Israel since they return from exile in Babylon. Gentiles continue to control portions of Jerusalem.
• Daniel prophesied (Dan. 2:31-45) that after the four kingdom of men, the God of heaven shall consume all these kingdom (stone cut out of a mountain) and shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed. This is the millenial kingdom of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem here on earth.
God’s Revelation To Daniel of King Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream
FOUR KINGDOMS — Interpretation of the prophet Daniel of the great image dreamt by the King. He received two visions on the course of world history, which was divided into four world kingdoms.
Chapter two
describes a statue made of four different metals: First Kingdom: head of gold , the Babylonian kingdom of Daniel’s time (Lion with eagle’s wings) Second Kingdom: breast of silver , the kingdom of the Persians and Medes (Bear) Third Kingdom: abdomen of copper or bronze , the Greek kingdom (Leopard with four wings and four heads) Fourth Kingdom: legs of iron (the Roman kingdom), with feet of iron and clay (the latter Roman period), which crumble when struck by a ‘stone’ (diverse from the others, dreadful and terrible, had ten horns and teeth of iron) Daniel’s vision in chapter 7 reveals the world kingdoms as four animals: a lion, bear, leopard, and the “dreadful and terrifying and extremely strong” beast with its large teeth made of iron (7:7).

The Church Revealed
•
1Pe 1:11
Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
•
Eph 3:3-6
How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery;Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: • To the OT prophets, there was a mystery to them-what was to come between the Messiah’s 1 st coming (sufferings-cross) and 2 nd (glory throne). The mystery revealed is the Church.
The Fulness of the Gentiles
•
Rom 11:25
“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.” • The fullness of the Gentiles is the completion of the purpose of God in calling out (ekklesia) from among the Gentiles a people for Christ's name, "the church which is His body.“ • Destiny is to be caught up with the Lord and be with the Lord forever and be delivered from the Great Tribulation and to be married with the Lamb (Lord).
Events in the Church Before 2
Coming of the Messiah
1. Preaching of the Gospel of Jesus and of His entire Kingdom. Mk 16:15-And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Matt. 24:14-And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
2. Discipling of all nations to Jesus.
Matt. 28:19-20-Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
3. Building up of the Church. Eph 4:11-12-And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

Rapture.
1Th 4:16-17
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive
and
remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Co 15:51-53
Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal
must
put on immortality.
Church is not to go through the Tribulation.

is
as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
