FAR GREATER THAN THESE - Song Devotional Playlist JESUS OUR VICTORY CD!

 

FAR GREATER THAN THESE

SONG DEVOTIONAL

Beloved, what is our greatest treasure?  Dear friends, if we possessed all the lands of this fallen world, mountains of gold and precious jewels, or even somehow called the countless stars and trillions of galaxies our own, we would still possess nothing that could compare with Almighty God Himself! Every created thing came from Him and exists by His power, yet our ETERNAL Creator loved us with such incomprehensible agape love that He came into this fallen world and gave Himself for our sins! I don’t know how to say anything more wonderful than that! Jesus Christ, by whom God made the worlds and who upholds “all things by the word of his power,” is ETERNALLY far superior and greater than all these. Beloved, there is absolutely no comparison to Him and His creation (Heb. 1:2–3). He indeed is ETERNALLY far greater!

Almighty God has “set ETERNITY” within our hearts (Eccl. 3:11), and therefore no temporary possession can ever satisfy the deepest longing of the soul. Lost or saved, our soul is only ever looking for Almighty God, our ETERNAL Creator, to fill our ETERNAL void. This fallen world’s wealth fades, possessions perish, kingdoms disappear, and even this present creation will one day pass away. Yet our precious Jesus remains FOREVER! Dear friend, the greatest gift Almighty God could ever give us is Himself. It is the gift that will ETERNALLY never end! Through our salvation in Christ, we possess all of Christ. Jesus is our Savior, our ETERNAL  righteousness, our ETERNAL Faithful Shepherd, our ETERNAL life, our ETERNAL inheritance, our chief agape love, and our ETERNAL possession and treasure. Nothing created can ever replace the ETERNAL precious One who created us and then shed His blood to redeem us! Oh, my beloved! How absolutely wonderful is that! No one in all of ETERNITY will EVER in FOREVER agape love you like Jesus!

Beloved, one glorious day we will begin to understand our ETERNAL precious Possession and Treasure more fully. It will take all of ETERNITY to just begin to scratch the surface of the ETERNAL treasures of our ETERNAL Treasure! What the Almighty has prepared for those who agape love Him is beyond anything this present world could ever offer (1 Cor. 2:9). In the ETERNAL ages to come, Almighty God’s servants “shall see his face” and reign with Him FOREVER and EVER (Rev. 22:3–5). Our greatest joy will not simply be heaven's wonders; it will be Jesus Himself! Therefore, beloved, hold the things of this temporal world very loosely and treasure your precious Treasure above all. Of every possession, every treasure, every star, and every galaxy, even Heaven’s glories we could ever imagine, our hearts can only joyfully proclaim: My precious Treasure and loving Savior is ETERNALLY FAR GREATER THAN THESE!

  2. How does Almighty God's incomprehensible agape love help me to hold earthly possessions more loosely?

  3. When I think about ETERNITY, do I look forward most of all to seeing and being with my precious Savior?

PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for giving me the greatest treasure, Your precious Son. Help me, dear Lord, to hold the things of this world loosely and treasure my treasure, Jesus above every created thing.

I praise You and thank You, Heavenly Father, in Jesus' precious name; even so, come, Lord Jesus. Amen.

WE'RE GOING TO HEAR HIS WORD! - Song Devotional Playlist JESUS OUR VICTORY CD!

 

WE’RE GOING TO HEAR HIS WORD!

SONG DEVOTIONAL

Beloved, what a privilege and joy it is to gather together each Sunday morning with God's people and sing with great anticipation, “We're going to hear His Word! Hallelujah, preach it, brother; we're going to hear God's Word!” Dear friend, God’s faithful blood-bought disciple should come to God's house with a hungry heart, ready to listen, ready to learn, anticipating great fellowship and worship! Almighty God's precious desire is for us to let His Word do a wondrous work deep within our hearts, to bring us ever closer to Him in Spirit and truth! Jesus great prayer for us was, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth” (John 17:17). Beloved, Almighty God's Word is absolutely crucial and essential for our spiritual growth and discipleship under Jesus our shepherd!

Biblical preaching is far more than just simply receiving biblical information. As the Word of God is faithfully proclaimed, the Holy Spirit takes its truth and applies it very personally to our hearts. He is continually in agape love, teaching us, correcting us, encouraging us, convicting us, strengthening our faith, renewing our minds, and continually conforming us into the very image of our precious Savior until we see Him face to face! Like the believers in the Book of Acts, we should gladly receive the Word and continue steadfastly in doctrine, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayers (Acts 2:41–42). When we come to God’s house expectantly, Almighty God is more than ready to speak to us through His written Word to change the way we live and to conform us to the dear image of His precious Son! How wonderful is that, dear friend!

Beloved, ultimately our excitement about hearing God's Word leads us to the ETERNAL Word of God, Jesus Christ Himself! He is the ETERNAL Word who became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:1,14). Therefore, every faithful sermon, every Bible study, every Sunday School lesson, and every personal time in Scripture should draw our hearts closer and closer to Him. Beloved, we do not merely want to know more about the Bible; an intellectual understanding of the Bible will never do any good for us without an abiding relationship to our True Vine. On the contrary, we want to know and possess our precious Lord Jesus more deeply; we want to by faith abide in Him more faithfully, and become more like Him! That beloved is called abiding discipleship! Jesus has called us to leave our nets and to become his abiding disciples and learners, not mere Christians. There are way too many “Christians” today and not enough disciples. So let us, beloved, enter into the House of the Lord with great joyful expectation and hungry hearts: why? For We're going to hear His Word!

DEVOTIONAL QUESTIONS

  1. Do I come to hear God's Word with a joyful, hungry, and teachable heart, or am I just playing church?

  2. Am I simply just hearing the Word, or am I allowing the Holy Spirit to apply the Word of truth to my daily life?

  3. Is my time in God's Word and under faithful biblical preaching drawing me closer to Jesus, the ETERNAL Word of God, or am I just going through the heartless motions of a non-abiding Christianity?

PRAYER

Precious Heavenly Father,

Give Your servant a hungry, passionate, desirous, and teachable heart to receive Your precious Word. Please use its faithful preaching through the power of Your Spirit to disciple me, change me, and draw me ever closer to my precious Jesus.

We praise You and thank You in Jesus' precious name; even so, come, Lord Jesus. Amen.

MY JESUS,TIS OF THEE - Song Devotional for JESUS OUR VICTORY CD!

 

MY JESUS, ’TIS OF THEE

SONG DEVOTIONAL

Beloved, “My Jesus, ’tis of Thee” is the grateful song of a redeemed heart looking back upon the wonder of Almighty God's saving grace. As those once ETERNALLY lost in our sins and trespasses, as those once ETERNALLY separated from the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God, and without any hope in this fallen world, we had nothing within ourselves that could EVER redeem or rescue us (Gal. 1:4, Eph. 2:1-3). Yet our Heavenly Father first agape loved us, then drew us toward His precious Son, and through the glorious ETERNAL Gospel of Jesus Christ opened our eyes to our desperate need for Jesus, the propitiation and Savior of the world. Beloved, “We love him, because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19). Dear friend, what amazing grace from our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator! A lost sinner bound by death, to a brand new creation and a blood-bought child of Almighty God (2 Cor. 5:17-21)!

Beloved, as the child of God reflects upon their ETERNAL deliverance and their pilgrim journey through this fallen world, their heart overflows with glorious thanksgiving to their Savior and agape lover of their soul! The wondrous reality is that at the cross Jesus became our ETERNAL Savior, our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS, our ETERNAL Faithful Shepherd, our ETERNAL life, and our ETERNAL hope! Through faith in Jesus, we have now passed from ETERNAL death and separation unto ETERNAL life! We have now received the ETERNAL forgiveness of sins, and have been brought into the glorious family of God. We can now cry with all our being, “Abba, Father! Abba, Father!” Beloved, the more we begin to understand what we once were and what Almighty God has ETERNALLY given and made us in His precious Son, the more our hearts should overflow with praise, song, and thanksgiving for His incomprehensible goodness and amazing grace.

Beloved, “My Jesus, ’tis of Thee” becomes the testimony of our entire pilgrim journey. From sinner to saint, from ETERNAL death to ETERNAL life, from ETERNALLY lost to ETERNALLY found, and from a child of death and darkness to a child of life, light, and God; all was made possible by the Person and work of Jesus Christ! Dear friend, our precious Savior, who ETERNALLY saved us, continues now to disciple, shepherd, and transform us daily until that glorious day when we see Him face to face (1 John 3:1-3). Therefore, Beloved, with hearts filled with gratitude, let us sing of His goodness today and throughout all ETERNITY: My Jesus, ’tis of Thee, all things are now possible!

  2. How have I seen the faithfulness and goodness of my precious Savior throughout my life’s pilgrim journey?

  3. Does my daily life reflect the thanksgiving and joy of someone who has gone from a lost sinner to a beloved child of God?

PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for loving me, drawing me to Your precious Son, and giving me ETERNAL Life through Jesus, my Savior. May my heart and life continually sing with wondrous gratitude for Your amazing grace and faithfulness to me.

We praise You and thank You in Jesus' precious name; even so, come, Lord Jesus. Amen.

Yeshua Returns to Israel - Unto the Chief Musician Music Song Devotion


Yeshua Returns to Israel

SONG DEVOTIONAL

Beloved, throughout the Holy Scriptures, Yahweh's Word continually points forward to a day when Jesus Christ (Yeshua), Israel's promised Messiah, will return in ETERNAL power and glory to the very land where He first came in His humility. The very One who was rejected and crucified by His own will will return from the Right Hand of the Majesty on High as the rightful KING of kings and LORD of lords (Rev. 6-19:11-21)! In that day, at the very end of Jacob's trouble, will the remaining demonically oppressed inhabitants of Israel look upon the very One whom they rejected, crucified, and pierced, and mourn in great repentance, and receive Him by faith to themselves (Zechariah 12:10; Romans 11:26–27)!

Beloved, Yeshua's return is not only Israel's hope, but the hope of the whole world for redemption and restoration in RIGHTEOUSNESS. On that Day, Yeshua will bring in EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS, where there has only ever been demonic rebellion, oppression, and war, and establish His glorious kingdom FOREVER (Dan. 2:44; 7:13-14, Zech. 12-14). As believers today, we eagerly await His glorious appearing, faithfully proclaim His ETERNAL gospel, His Divine plan for Israel, and rejoice that every promise Almighty God has EVER made WILL be completely fulfilled in Yeshua Messiah. Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord!

"Even so, come, Lord Jesus!" (Revelation 22:20)

  3. Do I believe all the truths about Yeshua's plan for Israel and Israel's return and restoration to Him at His second coming?

PRAYER

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your great love and for sending Yeshua to save us. Thank You that Your Word is true and that every promise You have made to Israel will come to pass at Yeshua's second coming. With a joyful heart, we thank You and rejoice in You. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! Amen

The Bema Seat of Christ is ALL About Finding Jesus' LIFE Outworked in YOU!
















At Christ's Judgment Seat for His redeemed saints, which will take place after the Rapture of His Church; The blood-washed saints of Christ will be examined and proved by Almighty God the Son's RIGHTEOUS PERSON, PERFECTION, and HOLY FIRE (Psalm 12:6; 18:30; 19:8-10; John 1:1-3; John 17:17, 1 Cor. 3:9-16, Heb. 12:28-29, Rev. 1:12-18; 22:12)! ALL that was built upon this FOUNDATION (THE ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS SON of ALMIGHTY GOD) will remain and rewards will be given (Matt. 7:24-25, John 17:17, 1 Cor. 3:9-16, Rev. 22:12)! All that is outworked in the flesh and in error will be TOTALLY CONSUMED by Christ's RIGHTEOUS Person and FIRE, and these will suffer loss, but NOT the loss of one's ETERNAL salvation (Rom. 8:26-39; 1 Cor. 3:9-16)! For the RIGHTEOUS FOUNDATION, BLUEPRINT, OUTWORKING, WORKS, FRUIT, BUILDING, and PRODUCT in a child of GOD's life IS NOTHING LESS THAN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST! For He is ALL and ALL in RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH, ABSOLUTES, ATTRIBUTES, LIFE and FRUIT and without Him, nothing can ever EXIST, be ACHIEVED and have LIFE (Psalm 1:1-3, John 1:1-14; 10:25; 14:1-3, Gal. 2:20; 5:22-23; Heb. 1:2-3; 4:12-13; 13:8, 1 Peter 2:1-8, Rev. 1:11-18; 4; 21:22-23; 22:13)! For example; He the P, the K and the M of the PKM equation.

We are to be the Lord Jesus Christ's co-labors, servants (slaves), joint-heirs, sheep, vessels, body, branches, the fragrance of LIFE, waterers, overcoming victors and more than conquerors, priest, and kings, workmanship, billboards, soldiers, bride, witnesses, salt, sent ones, ambassadors, prayer warriors, disciples, fishermen, ministers of reconciliation and lights; and we are to build as we serve our RIGHTEOUS Savior in love very wisely and circumspectly; with spiritual knowledge for His glory and honor!

We are to be the Lord Jesus Christ's co-labors, servants (slaves), joint-heirs, sheep, vessels, workmanship, body, branches, the fragrance of LIFE, waterers, overcoming victors and more than conquerors, priest, and kings, soldiers, salt, billboards, witnesses, sent ones, prayer warriors, ambassadors, disciples, bride, fishermen, ministers of reconciliation and lights; and we are to build as we serve our RIGHTEOUS Savior in love very wisely and circumspectly; with spiritual knowledge for His glory and honor (1 Cor. 10:31)! Beloved, He is our ONLY GREAT TREASURE and He is our EXCEEDING GREAT REWARD; for HE is our LIFE (Matt. 6:21, John 14:6, Gal. 2:20; 5:22-23; Col. 3:1-3)!

To sum up the Bema Seat judgment in one sentence would be to say of Almighty God our Father, "Did I find my Son OUTWORKED, EXPRESSED, and MANIFESTED in you in TRUTH, RIGHTEOUSNESS, and FRUIT/PRODUCT - Rom. 8:28-29, Gal. 2:20, Eph. 2:10, Phil. 2:12-13!"

When we serve Him and love Him in that way in RIGHTNESS and ALL SINCERITY, we already possess, demonstrate, and make known to all Who our EXCEEDINGLY GREAT TREASURE and REWARD is (Gen. 15:1, Psalm 119, Phil. 3:8-10; 2 Tim. 4:8, 1 John 3:1-3; 4:10, 19)! Thus will the rewards of the saints be after the Bema Seat of Jesus concludes! The works (GOLD, SILVER, PRECIOUS STONES), which remain after the FIRE TEST of Christ's RIGHTEOUS Person, will be the EXPRESSED LIFE of Jesus Christ the RIGHTEOUS outworked in us! For the FOUNDATION, FORMULAS of RIGHTEOUSNESS, FIRE, GOLD, SILVER, PRECIOUS STONES are the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS PERSON of JESUS CHRIST! Dearly beloved, IT IS ALL ABOUT JESUS from ETERNITY past into ETERNITY future! Who can conceive such a WONDER! Glory to ALMIGHTY GOD in the HIGHEST FOREVERMORE and EVERMORE!!

Beloved, He is our ONLY GREAT TREASURE, and He is our EXCEEDING GREAT REWARD, for HE is our LIFE!; and when we serve Him and love Him in that way in RIGHTNESS and ALL SINCERITY, we already possess, demonstrate, and make known to all Who our EXCEEDINGLY GREAT TREASURE and REWARD is!

Beloved, it is tragic to say, and may Almighty God help us all, that many will be ashamed in His Presence on that day. For many will have NEGLECTED their Heavenly calling for the temporal delights and comforts that this fallen world and America have to offer, and many will build wrongly in unrighteousness and in ignorance. These will be saved by FIRE but with nothing to show for God's glory (1 Cor. 3:12-18). The thought will be on that day: how much did you really love Me and enjoy me for Who I am?

Going for the Gold for Almighty God's Glory!
.
Dear friends, ETERNAL victory is gained when a person puts his or her faith and trust in the Person of Almighty God (John 8:32-36, Rom. 8:35-39; Heb. 11:6, 1 John 5:1-5)! As believers in Jesus Christ, we can by faith go for the gold and win the victory through the many-faceted adversities and calamities that come our way. We know that Almighty God our Father indeed loves us and has a wonderful plan and purpose for our lives in this age to make us GREAT winners for His glory and not losers.

Listen to this promise: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:26).

Almighty God has a wonderful plan for you and me and wants us to overcome in His PERFECT WILL for our lives and be a winner for His glory (1 Cor. 10:31)! It is through Him, and by Him, we will have the victory!For He indeed is our VICTORY!

Remember your current position in Christ at the right hand of Almighty God, blessed with all spiritual blessings - Col 3:1-5, Eph 1:3)!

In these last days, may we be strong and of good courage and have faith in Almighty God. May we see - with the eyes of faith - past this physical world into the very throne room of Heaven, and be more than a conqueror in Christ and for Christ. May we go for all that Almighty God has called us to be for His Glory.

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" (Phil. 4:13)!

"Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal lifewhereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses" (1 Tim. 6:12)!

"Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place" (2 Cor. 2:14)!

"But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Cor. 15:57)!

"Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us" (Romans 8:37)!

"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Cor.10:31)!

"For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us" (2 Cor. 1:20)!

"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him" (1 Cor. 2:9)!

"Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing" (2 Tim 4:8)!

"Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place" (2 Cor. 2:14).

Remember, Beloved: "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you [i.e., Christ], than he that is in the world [i.e., Satan and his minions]" (1 John 4:4).

Now go for the gold, beloved, for Almighty God's glory!! Godspeed!!

A Biblical Last Days Challenging Creation Message and Video on Divine Creation in Light of a 2 Peter 3:1-7’s Scoffer World - Accident or Design?



Beloved, our dear friends at "Word of Truth Production" have created this amazing video which causes us to use our God-given common sense as we look at man's inventions versus Almighty God's highly complex creation and design (Gen. 1:1-3, Neh. 9:6; Prov. 3:19, Isa. 45:18, John 1:1-3, Rom. 1:18-32, 1 Cor. 8:6, Rev. 4-5)! The real objective biblical question that we need to ask all ourselves in these Last Days of EXPONENTIAL growth of man made technology; which provides vast abundant insight into the ETERNAL genius of the mind of Almighty God of ETERNAL Creator is this, "Are we a product of time and chance or have we been designed by our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator with an ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS calling, vocation, and purpose (Matt. 4:19, John 1:12, 2 Cor. 5:17-21)?" As you watch this powerful 30-minute video, may you be challenged to consider our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator, who is also the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Savior of the World (Gen. 1:1; John 1:1-14, Col. 1:15-17; Heb. 1:1-3)!

Why Jesus Used “70 × 7” in Matthew 18 - The Deeper Daniel 9:24-27 Prophetic Meaning!











Beloved, this is absolutely mindblowing to me! The Lord Jesus perfectly understood Daniel 9:24-27 and used this prophetic text in Matthew 18:21-22 as an example of what full and complete forgiveness is in RIGHTEOUSNESS! I wonder if Peter truly understood what text Jesus was referring to and its complete meaning, as Jesus taught Peter this Divine lesson on true and full forgiveness and its restoration in RIGHTEOUSNESS! 

I wonder if Peter truly understood what text Jesus was referring to as He taught Peter this Divine lesson on true and complete forgiveness and restoration in RIGHTEOUSNESS! 

The Lord Jesus also testified as He carried His cross to the children of Israel of that day, and stated in Luke 19:41-43 that, "Only if they knew the time of their visitation" and what would happen in the near future as a result of their being ignorant of the wonderful prophetic truths found in Daniel 9:24-26. O beloved, how many believers in the risen Savior of today miss all the signs and wonders of our hour!  No wonder the Rapture Trumpet for the Body of Christ will come as a thief to many in these ever-growing EXPONENTIAL Last Days (1 Thess. 4:13-18; 5:1-4)!

Beloved, below is a brief outline of Jesus' message to Peter on full and complete forgiveness in RIGHTEOUSNESS and its complete and full reconciliation of both parties! Also, it is a deeper look into the beautiful love and reconciliation of Yahweh God with His people Israel in the near future (Zech. 12-14)! The very One teaching Peter on forgiveness and reconciliation in RIGHTEOUSNESS, will be the very One who will be the propitiation for Israel, but also the whole world (Isa. 53, 1 John 4:7-10)! O beloved! How absolutely beautiful is that! 


Divine Restoration and Forgiveness in RIGHTEOUSNESS - Daniel 9:24-27

1. “Seventy Times Seven” Comes Directly From Daniel’s Prophecy

When Jesus said:

“I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.”
Matthew 18:22

He used the exact language of Daniel 9:24:

“Seventy weeks (seventy sevens) are determined upon thy people…”

Daniel’s phrase “70 weeks” literally means:

70 × 7 = 490 years

In Hebrew:

  • shabuim = “sevens”

  • So 70 sevens = 490

Jesus’ wording directly echoes Daniel’s timeline.


2. Daniel’s 490-Year Prophetic Clock

Daniel 9:24–27 lays out six purposes God will accomplish within these “70 sevens”:

  1. Finish the transgression

  2. Make an end of sins

  3. Make reconciliation for iniquity

  4. Bring in everlasting righteousness

  5. Seal up the vision and prophecy

  6. Anoint the Most Holy

These are fulfilled in stages:

  • First 69 weeks (483 years) → Messiah comes

  • Gap (church age)

  • Final 70th week (7 years) → tribulation, covenant, abomination of desolation, restoration

Thus, “70 × 7” is a complete, divine cycle of redemption.






3. Why Jesus Used “70 × 7” in Matthew 18

When Peter asked Jesus how often to forgive, Jesus responded:

“70 × 7” — the Daniel number — the number of God’s complete forgiveness.

This is not accidental.

Jesus was teaching:

As God is completing His 490-year plan to forgive Israel, so you must forgive fully and completely.

It’s a prophetic hint pointing back to Daniel’s countdown of forgiveness and reconciliation:

  • Daniel 9:24 → “to make an end of sins”

  • Matthew 18 → forgive without limit

Jesus was saying:

Forgive as God forgives: completely, fully, perfectly — “70 sevens.”


4. The Deeper Biblical Connection

A. 490 is the number of complete redemption cycles in Scripture

490 appears repeatedly:

  • 70 × 7 = 490 years of Israel’s sabbath-rest violations → leading to Babylon (2 Chron. 36:21)

  • 70 × 7 = Daniel’s prophetic timetable

  • 70 × 7 = Jesus’ call for complete forgiveness

It always symbolizes:

Divine completion, forgiveness, restoration, Jubilee, and release.


B. Daniel’s 490 years are about God forgiving Israel

Daniel 9:24 emphasizes forgiveness:

  • end of sins

  • reconciliation

  • everlasting righteousness

Jesus uses the same number to teach:

Forgive the way God forgives.












5. Summary: How “70 × 7” Connects to Daniel 9:24–27

1. Daniel’s prophecy = 70 sevens (70 × 7 = 490)
2. Jesus intentionally uses the same phrase in Matthew 18.
3. Both contexts deal with forgiveness, reconciliation, and completing God’s plan.
4. 490 becomes the biblical symbol for God’s full, complete, divine cycle of redemption.
5. The 70th week of Daniel (the last seven) is the final stage of God completing His promise to Israel.

Maranatha! The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
