Dear friends, as we look at our EXPONENTIALLY growing godless, lawless, and hopeless day; it isn't too hard for any to see that we are indeed at the threshold of the Rapture of the Body of Messiah and the HORRIFIC and EXPONENTIAL seven-year tribulation period (Dan. 9:27; Matt. 24, Rev. 6-19)! Beloved, before we start; be sure to check out the Bible links we have provided for you as you follow along in this study; for that indeed is our authority!
But rather, in the midst of it he WILL CAUSE the SACRIFICE and OBLATION to CEASE in light of the end of the 1260 ministry of Almighty God's Two Witnesses (Rev. 11:7/Rev. 13:5). That's it my friends... Israel is not even mentioned as a treaty nation in this passage; only the SACRIFICE and OBLATION are to cease at the end of the Two Witnesses 1260 day ministry which will be in Jerusalem!
As many of you know; I have a slightly different perspective of Daniel 9:26-27.
Daniel 9:26-27 is very brief and simple in its wording, and yet so many prophetic teachers add so much filler and fluff to make it fit their theological "treaty" preference, etc.; and when they do; the Two Witnesses of Revelation get totally neglected and put on the back burner to the prince of Daniel 9:26-27. Nowhere does it say that the prince breaks a treaty but rather that in the midst of it he WILL CAUSE the SACRIFICE and OBLATION to CEASE in light of the end of the 1260 day ministry of Almighty God's Two Witnesses (Rev. 11:7/Rev. 13:5). That's it my friends... Israel is not even mentioned as a treaty nation in this passage; only the SACRIFICE and OBLATION are to cease at the end of the Two Witnesses 1260 day ministry; which will be in Jerusalem (Dan. 9:27; Matt. 24:15, Mark 13:14; 2 Thess. 2:3-12, Rev. 11:7-12; 13). It is with further revelation from the New Testament that we see what Satan and his Antichrist are seeking; worship and the desolation of Almighty God's altar and ministers which will be pointing the nations of the world at that this time to ETERNAL SALVATION found ONLY in Yeshua, His shed blood; and His finished work (Isa. 53; Dan. 9:26, John 3:16-17, Rom. 10:2-4, 1 John 4:10)! This truth indeed my friends is a profound and a sound witness to the dispensational teaching of the Bible and to Almighty God's future plan for Israel! It is absolutely amazing to me, and yet no surprise; that the heart of Satan's war in the tribulation will be centered in the desolating of the altar of God which points to the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Lamb of Almighty God (i.e.; the Lord Jesus Christ) and His ETERNALLY finished work of ETERNAL salvation! Without an ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS PROPITIATION, there can be no ETERNAL redemption for Adam's fallen race and all of Israel's Divine promises. The Book of Revelation refers continually to Jesus as the Lamb and it states very clearly that Satan, the antichrist, and his 10 horns will make war with Him; who alone is the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Lamb of God, the ETERNAL Savior, and PROPITIATION of this fallen and demonic world (Isa. 53; John 1:29;1 John 4:10; Rev. 5; 6:16; 12:11; 17:14; 21:27; 22:3). Satan's head was crushed at the cross and with Jesus' resurrection and Satan's immense rage for the Lamb will be on full display during this horrific time (Gen. 3:15-16; Rev. 17:14; Rev. 20:10). Satan's greatest war again is on the FINISHED work and shed blood of Jesus which totally redeems sinful slaves FOREVER from his fallen and darken concentration camp here in time (Eph. 2:1--14).
Once the To Witnesses of Revelation are removed and this obstacle is "ceased" and removed out of the way; these demoniacs can violently and globally seek their delusion 666 "utopia" as well as their ETERNAL desolation as they continue their vain war against their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator and His ETERNAL PROPITIATION and LAMB!
Once the Two Witnesses of Revelation are removed and this altar obstacle "ceased" and removed out of the way, the beast will then set himself up as "god" in the Holy of holies and begin his desolation process (Dan. 7: 24-6; 9:27, 12:1-13; Matt 24:15; Mark 13:14; 2 Thess. 2:3-12; Rev. 11:7; 13); then will these remaining human demoniacs under the beast violently and globally pursue their delusion 666 "utopia"; as well as their ETERNAL desolation as they continue their vain war against their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator and His ETERNAL PROPITIATION and LAMB (Psalm 2; 110; Rom. 1:18-32; Rev. 13; 17:16-18; 19:19). The followers of Satan and his antichrist are now ready and willing to double down in the full light of Divine revelation and receive the antichrist's mark, which will make one ETERNALLY desolate (Dan. 9:27, Rev. 13; 14:9-11)! When the Two Witnesses are executed at the end of their 1260 day ministry by the antichrist/beast and the world shall GREATLY rejoice (Rev. 11:7-12)! However, 3 1/2 days later, these Two shall rise before all the world verifying and guaranteeing to all that every word which proceeded out of their mouth will be fulfilled! In light of this, the world will with full knowledge receive the beast's mark as the ultimate act of ETERNAL defiance unto their ETERNAL DESOLATION (Dan. 9:27, Rev. 11:7-12; 13; 14:9-11)!
It is with further revelation from the New Testament that we see what Satan and his Antichrist are seeking; the desolation of Almighty God's altar and ministers which will be pointing the nations of the world at that this time to ETERNAL SALVATION in Yeshua and His finished work!
When the Beast Finally Reigns!
However, It will be at the end of the Two Witnesses GLORIOUS ministry that the Anti-Christ will NOW absolutely dominate the rest of the tribulation period and the world; and what's left of it for 42 months until the Lamb's GLORIOUS return!
After the Rapture of the Church, Almighty God will again begin to move in the nation of Israel, His chosen people, and will seek to call them to repentance via the Two Witnesses of Revelation, for Messiah's return is very nigh and His ETERNAL Kingdom at hand!
Messiah Cut Off!
In the rejection of Messiah and His Kingdom offer, Almighty God stopped Israel's prophetic clock at 69 weeks or 483 years and then established His Divine mystery of the Church Age made up of Jewish and Gentile believers in Yeshua!
During this time Almighty God will then go back to the Levitical sacrificial system to communicate and point to the finished work of the Messiah!
Why the Altar Attack?
My beloved; This is absolutely why the tribulation altar and the Holy of Holies will be Satan the Dragon's primary target for destruction and desolation in the seven-year tribulation period (Dan. 9:27; 12:7; Rev. 11:1-3).
The Tribulation altar will point back to the RIGHTEOUS Person and finished work of redemption by Messiah!
Firstly, the altar points to Messiah’s (The Lamb of God’s) finished work and propitiation which offers ETERNAL salvation to all by faith in Him; not ETERNAL desolation; and this is why He (Jesus Messiah) is known as the LAMB in the Book of Revelation!
Thirdly; Satan absolutely despises any work and promise of Almighty God and will with all his remaining rage and demonic being through his tangible host the antichrist with great fury seek to prevent Israel (and all nations) from coming to faith in Messiah; and will also seek to derail all of Almighty God's remaining promises for them in their ETERNAL Lamb and King (Dan. 9:24-27; 12:1-13; Zech. 13:8-9; 14:1-4; Rev. 12:7-17)! Lastly; Satan is on a total self-preservation mission and bent; knowing that his ETERNAL doom is very nigh and at hand (Rev. 12:7-17). All are expendable and all is on Satan's altar to preserve his demonic delusional dreams of ETERNAL rebellion against His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator (Isa 14:12-17; Ezek. 28:12-19; John 8:44; Rev. 12:12; 20:1-3; 20:10)! With the ETERNAL resurrection of Messiah, Satan was ETERNALLY defeated and nothing in all of ETERNITY can ever override and overturn that established ETERNAL ABSOLUTE and TRUTH (Isa. 45:23; Rom. 14:11; Phil. 2:5-11; Heb. 13:8)!
Beloved; in the end, King Jesus wins BIG, EVERY single time; and we who are in Christ Jesus should rejoice continually and always!
Beloved; at the end of Satan and man's vain little tiny rebellion, King Jesus ETERNALLY WINS and we who are in Christ Jesus should rejoice continually and always in that ETERNAL GLORIOUS TRUTH (Phil. 4:4)! In closing; do you personally know the Lord Jesus as your Lord and Savior? O, my dear friend, it is ALL about Jesus and His RIGHTEOUSNESS; Be sure that you personally know Jesus as the Scriptures so simply and clearly teach.
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
